2023.03.29 15:27 Sad_Professional3496 Do you masturbate ever to naked women?
So i have a feet fetish for male only, but i dont want to have sex or being near a dick tbh. But feet, gosh how amazing. Ok, but I sometimes masturbste to straight porn, and sometimes I even wish I was touching the lady on screen. And I masturbate, sometimes I don't get horny but I cum, others, i do get horny.
-- since i was a kid sex never was something interesting for me, but feet was.
Does this mean im bi, gay, or asexual?? Some people say that just by the fact to be able to want to touch a girl in some degree that makes me bi. I dont find girls hot, I do fing men hot. But nothing sexually at the end of the day. Have you all an amazing day.

2023.03.29 15:27 Murtsdurt Keep wrong (send) item? even if they send a replacement
Let me clarify, I’ve ordered something online and the company told me 1 week later I needed to pay more because the prices were wrong on the site (I couldn’t believe how this is even possible). Which after some back and forth I paid (only 50% of what they asked me to pay, which was the deal I’ve made after the back and forth).
Last week I finally received the package, and they send a wrong item. After contacting support they said they would send me a new one, and did after some time. And in a later mail asked me to send back the original received item.
The thing is I really dislike the seller and they pretty much ghost me if it’s not something they can profit from. Is it legal to keep the item? I live in the Netherlands.

2023.03.29 15:26 LizzyC-2003 Lizzy Culligan Goes to a New School
The voices are different at my new school. Not too different, they mostly still talk about the same things. But just different enough for me to notice. They seem less… worried. The colors are less purple and blue than before, they’re more orange and yellow. Yellow voices are always happy and friendly. I really like yellow voices, but there’s never enough of them around me.
My name is Lizzy, which is one of those “blink and you’ll miss it” names. I like using that phrase because my mom said it would make me sound more mature. I don’t really like saying this, but I’m one of the “weird kids”. One of the kids who never fit into anything, who never understood how everyone else could just talk and be part of social groups and not have that be the most awkward experience of their lives. Now that’s not to say I don’t have friends, I do! It’s just that I can’t figure out how to be a part of one of those big friend groups where everyone has a great time with each other, like, genuinely.
I’m just bad at being social, I guess. Whenever I try to introduce myself to other people they always get weirded out by me. I think it might be the way I talk to them… or the way I can never maintain eye contact with them. Sometimes when I talk to people all I can hear in my head are the voices, and when I’m a little tired or bored I just pick the loudest voice I can hear and say it out loud. Whenever I do that though, the voice of the person I’m talking to gets purple and blue, and then they don’t want to talk to me anymore. Weird.
Alright, enough about my terrible social life, I started my first day at my new school today! My new teacher, Ms. Winter, is really really nice! She had me introduce myself to the rest of the class, and she was really supportive and gave me hints on what to say before I went up. I hate public speaking, but she actually made it really easy for me! I remember I said something like, “Hi, I’m Lizzy Culligan, I just moved to Eastwood, and I’m really excited to be here and meet all of you!” I didn’t want to say that last part because it didn’t sound genuine, but Ms. Winter told me that it would make me sound more friendly, and her voice said that too so I just decided to listen to it. I thought the other kids would laugh at me for that last part, but they didn’t. A lot of their voices turned yellow, actually! Ms. Winter is so smart!
Ms. Winter does this thing where she takes a picture of every student and prints them out on these little laminated pages and tapes them to our assigned seats. While the rest of the class was reading, she took a picture of me at my desk, and she said she would print it out that night. “That’s so sweet of you,” I said. I would never say something that… sophisticated… but her voice was saying that about me, so I just decided to repeat it out loud. Ms. Winter replied, “Oh, thank you Lizzy!”, but she seemed confused for some reason. After that, she went back to her desk and sat there with this weird look on her face for a few minutes.
https://imgur.com/a/HhO6xze Sometimes I really wish I could turn the voices off. I have these huge, pink, puffy headphones that I carry around in my bag. My therapist told me to try wearing them, and they really do help! If I wear them, the voices get really quiet, quiet enough to where I can’t make anything out. But I really don’t like wearing the headphones. At my old school, whenever I wore them, people would give me the weirdest looks. And even though they helped with the voices, I could still see colors around people. Whenever I wore the headphones the colors around some people became this strange mix of green and red. It almost looked like the color of puke. So, I never really wear my headphones, mostly just to avoid that color.
Speaking of Ms. Winter’s voice, it’s actually really similar to my previous teacher’s. Whenever Ms. Winter is talking to other students, her voice is all happy and cheerful and yellow, but whenever she was talking to me on that first day her voice got a little worried, even if I didn’t say anything. Early in the day, she was reading something on her desk and her voice was reading along, but I could only understand a few parts of it because there were a lot of big words that I don’t know yet. I caught things like “Keep an eye on her,” and “Tell her to look for the color red,” and “I know this is extremely strange, but you have an oblig-” Something something. Once she read that she looked up at me and her voice became really purple for a few seconds, but then it went back to normal.
Even though this is my first day of school, it’s actually the second day of classes, since I got to miss the first day because I was in Washington D.C. Cool, right?! I go down to D.C. a lot, but not because I have family who lives down there or anything. It’s because I actually have to go to a doctor down there every few months, but it’s different than my normal doctor who does my physicals and asks me questions like “Are you on your period?” when I’m obviously not. I thought periods went at the end of sentences, how could I be “on” a period? This doctor is actually way better because they never give me shots or look at me from weird angles. All they do is ask me a few questions, then give my parents a ton of forms to sign. I say “they” because it’s a different doctor every time. They also take pictures of me, but not pictures like Ms. Winter does. Here’s the picture they took of me yesterday:
https://imgur.com/a/FF9G5QI Now, I know what you’re thinking. Well, I don’t know what you’re thinking because you’re reading this on a screen somewhere, but that’s a phrase I’ve heard a lot of people say recently and it makes me feel really satisfied whenever I say it, so I just said it. But, you’re probably thinking, “This looks like a mugshot, Lizzy!” And while you’re technically right, when I asked the doctor that exact question, he said that it wasn’t a mugshot, and even let me keep the picture! Also, you know it’s not a mugshot because they let me smile, and they made me stand on a 2-foot tall stool because I was too short.
Whenever I go to D.C. the voices there are always really loud and sharp. Especially near the Capitol building, the voices are really loud and red and strange. I have to go by the Capitol building to get to the doctor’s office because it’s close by so I hear their voices a lot. Maybe someday I should go in there and tell everybody to chill out and be friendly.
More recently though, the doctors have been doing this thing where they put me in a brightly lit room with a one-way mirror. Fun fact, I only know there’s a mirror because the voices there told me there was. It literally looks exactly like a normal wall. Anyways, they put me in that room for around an hour, and just tell me to write down any voices I hear in a notebook on a table in the middle of the room. I thought it would be cool to just mind my own business for an hour, but the voices in that room are always really strange.
A lot of the time they aren’t in English so I can’t understand them, but when they are in English they’re usually really red and scary, but not the same red as the Capitol building. I just write down what I can understand in the notebook and after the hour is over they take me out of the room and look over the notebook. One time two years ago they asked me to listen and see if the voices said the names of any countries or cities. The only location the voices said that day was somewhere in, like, Pakistan? I’ve never heard of that country though…
When I explained to them one time that I couldn’t understand what the voice was saying because it was in another language, they all went into this big room for a few minutes and came out telling my parents that they would pay for me to take lessons in Arabic so I could understand what the voices were saying. I just started those lessons a few weeks ago, but I’m not really paying attention to them because they’re boring. Why learn a language I’ll never use in real life when I could be paying attention to my actual schoolwork or trying to make new friends?
Anyways, back to talking about today. After Ms. Winter read that paper, she got up and told me to come out into the hallway with her. There, she said, “Lizzy, make sure to look out for red, okay?”. It was the exact same thing my teacher at the last school told me to do and the exact thing the paper just told Ms. Winter to tell me to do. Wow, that was a weird sentence. Anyways, I just shrugged and nodded and said, “Okay”, and Ms. Winter gave me this funny look before turning around and going back into the classroom.
Later in the day, we’re doing math and learning about division and decimals and things that my last school already taught me. I can tell everyone else is engaged because their voices are just thinking about what we’re learning, so I’m sort of left to wander off in my own thoughts. As I’m thinking though, the craziest thing happens! I see red! It’s moving down the road outside of the school. I put down my pencil and glance out of the window, trying to get a better look at what’s causing the red light.
I can see a car going down the road, a little bit too fast. The car is almost painted with red light, it’s like the brightest color I’ve ever seen! It turns into the school’s parking lot a little bit too hard, and its wheel hits the curb on the way in. My mom says that’s called “curbing it” because my dad did that once and ruined one of the tires on his Toyota Prius and my mom has never stopped teasing him over it.
I raise my hand to tell Ms. Winter that I can see red, but she’s busy helping someone on the other side of the classroom. As I keep watching the car, it stops across two parking spaces. My mom hates people who do that. She told me that it’s “inconsiderate”, but her voice said, “People who do that are fucking assholes, Lizzy”, to which I said, “Mom, language!”, to which my mom just smiled at me and said, “It’s okay, nobody could hear that”. I don’t know if I should write down bad language in this journal… It’s not like I’d share this anywhere unless I was all grown up and thought it was okay…
At this point the red is nearly blinding me, it’s so bright! As the car door opens, the redness spills out of the car and through the window and into my eyes, forcing me to look away. All of the voices around me of the kids and Ms. Winter are drowned out by a new voice, the red voice. It’s low, deep, and slow, but I can’t make out what it’s saying. I raise my hand higher, trying to get Ms. Winter’s attention.
Finally, she sees me. At this point, somebody has gotten out of the car with a big backpack, but I can barely even look in that direction anymore because of the red light. She slowly walks over to me, but I lose my patience first and shout, “I see red in the parking lot!” Ms. Winter gets really still for a moment before rushing to my side and glancing out the window. I don’t know what she saw, but an instant later she’s rushing to the phone and calling the main office in a frantic tone. Her voice is too jumbled up to make out any sensible words. All of the other kids in the class just sit there wondering what the hell is going on.
Everything after this is just a blur for me. The intercom comes on to call a lockdown drill. I remember that they make it clear that it’s just a drill. Then, our entire class is hiding in a corner, and Ms. Winter is constantly glancing between me and the door. Her voice is really, really purple. The red light from the parking lot makes its way inside the school, heading toward us. But then, a lot of orange colors suddenly appear and surround the main entrance. When they burst into the school, I can hear a few noises like somebody popping bubble wrap, then nothing. The bright red light slowly gets darker until it’s gone, and I can finally hear other voices again. One of the new orange ones says, “What the actual fuck..?”
After like an hour of being on lockdown, it’s lifted, and we all get to go home early. As I’m leaving, Ms. Winter takes me aside. It looks like she’s about to say something, but she just shakes her head and sits down at her desk. Her voice is completely silent, and I can’t tell what color it is. It’s like a mix of yellow, purple, and blue. For some reason, they tell us to go out of the back side of the school and walk around the playground. The voices in the school’s entrance are all blue and quiet.
Now, I’m sitting in bed, watching Youtube on my iPad. When I came home, my parents seemed a little different. They were hastily whispering to each other and pointing at me. Eventually, they told me to go to my room, but not because I was in trouble. As I sat in bed, my mom’s voice said from downstairs, “We can’t let her watch the news tonight, right?”, and a few minutes later my dad’s voice said, “She just saved hundreds of people, and we’re locking her in her room? Tina’s right, though, and she doesn’t mind being up there, I guess”.
As I sit there, I try to listen for other voices. I can hear my parents talking out loud downstairs over dinner. I can hear their voices saying “How long do I have to keep faking this until she goes to bed?” My neighbor’s voice thinks about how he is so excited to get the day off from school today as he plays video games.
My neighbor’s parents’ voices are purple. Not because of me, though, for perhaps the first time in my life. They’re purple because of what they just watched on the news. I can hear the reporters through their voices. I can hear it through all my neighbors’ voices. The reporters worm their way into my brain, filling my head with every possible angle of what happened. I can’t take it anymore. I stumble out of my room, go downstairs, and fall into my parents' open arms. They don’t tell me to go back to my room.
The TV goes on about how the quick actions of Ms. Winter prevented a tragedy that day. I cry, but not because of what the TV is saying. I know Ms. Winter knows what really happened. I don’t cry because I can’t feel proud of myself or something. I do feel proud of myself, but who could I possibly say that to? I cry… because I know what happened today, and… I wish I didn’t.
I can’t turn the voices off. I can’t stop listening to everyone’s thoughts. I wish I could, but I’m stuck with this stupid fucking curse. It keeps getting worse as I’ve gotten older, I can hear thoughts from farther and farther away, and it's just getting louder and louder and I can’t make it STOP!! I don’t know how to make it stop! The doctors and the people in the Capitol building in D.C. call me “unusual” when they think they’re far enough away. I hate that name…
The voices were different at my new school, on that first day. They were yellow, orange, happy… determined. As I try to go to sleep in my parent’s arms, I think about how people’s thoughts will change tomorrow. For the next few days, people’s thoughts will be different, I’m sure. But… whenever we hear about this on the news, everyone’s thoughts always go back to normal way too quickly. People don’t care about this kind of thing, even… even…
They don’t care about this even when it happens in their own backyard. I’m scared… I’m scared about… what would have happened if I wasn’t paying attention? What if I had been sick? What would have happened to my friends, or Ms. Winter, or the rest of the school?

2023.03.29 15:26 pentupwithyou It was supposed to be just once..
Was a drunk ass that time when I decided to post in r4r. Initially, all I was looking for was drunk conversations with a stranger. Pero bilang malandi/hoeing around ang lola nyo, pumalag sa hook up invite ng isang random stranger from near by. Kinabukasan, he asked for my name and told me he wants to get to know me better.
Fast forward to today, sya yung pinakamabait at pinakagentleman na nakilala ko EVER. He always check on me when we're together, if okay lang ba ako. He always holds my hand and ensure that I'm safe when we're crossing the street. He listens to my stories, kahit there are times that I blabber about deep and dark secrets about my past. Career oriented pa and may set goals sa buhay, I knew these things about the person as days went by.
Magkikita uli kami sa weekend. Sabi ko I want to celebrate something work related, on me kako this time as he always pay sa lakad namin. He said, he's looking forward to the weekend na agad.

2023.03.29 15:26 MightBeneficial3302 Element79 Gold Completes Rework of Final Payment Structure for Acquisition of Nevada Portfolio (CSE: ELEM, OTC: ELMGF)
| https://preview.redd.it/l7vubsoijoqa1.png?width=972&format=png&auto=webp&s=15bf45b86ab9def07cc0e057ea765660b91d4d79 Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - March 28, 2023 – Element79 Gold Corp (CSE:ELEM) (OTC:ELMGF) (FSE:7YS) (“Element79 Gold”, the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has successfully reworked the final payment structure due for the portfolio of Nevada assets that were purchased and announced on December 23, 2021. Original transaction terms Per the terms outlined in the Company’s news release of December 23, 2021, the Company paid $2,000,289.97 in cash payments and issued a total of 5,095,733 common shares on December 23. 2021. The Company further made a payment of $150,000 in 2022 to complete the “initial payment” and accounted for the final payment of CAD $2,000,000 via a Contingent Value Rights agreement (“CVR Agreement”) with Waterton Nevada Splitter, LLC (“Waterton”), with the final payment due on December 23, 2022. Updated final settlement terms As an update to the CVR Agreement, the Company has worked with Waterton to create an alternate structure. As part of the terms of the updated payment agreement, the final $2,000,000 milestone payment due will be converted into a two-year, zero-coupon debt facility with convertibility options priced at $0.15 and a 10% default interest rate. Prepayment by the Company is possible with a 60-day advance notice and paid at a 10% premium to the principal amount remaining. James Tworek, Element79 Gold’s CEO recounts: “Late last year, given the global economic conditions and overlaying market conditions for raising capital to complete this milestone payment, we proactively reached out to Waterton starting at the end of Summer to discuss alternate options. We found the discussions and negotiation processes fruitful, with Waterton being understanding the current investment climate. We feel that this solution is mutually beneficial and gives a strong vote of confidence in the Company’s share price growth potential given the conversion pricing and two-year timeline to maturity. We can close this chapter for the time being and can now focus energies on Element79’s core projects, generating revenue, and divesting of its non-core assets. About Element79 Gold Element79 Gold is a mining company focused on gold, silver and associated metals. Element79 Gold’s main focus is on two core properties: developing its previously-producing, high-grade gold and silver mine, the Lucero project located in Arequipa, Peru, with the intent to bring it back into production in the near term; and its flagship Maverick Springs Project located in the famous gold mining district of northeastern Nevada, USA, between the Elko and White Pine Counties. Maverick Springs hosts a 43-101-compliant, pit-constrained mineral resource estimate reflecting an inferred resource of 3.71 million ounces of gold equivalent “AuEq” at a grade of 0.92 g/t AuEq (0.34 g/t Au and 43.4 g/t Ag) with an effective date of Oct. 19, 2022 (see news release October 20, 2022, available on SEDAR). The acquisition of the Maverick Springs Project also included a portfolio of 15 properties along the Battle Mountain trend in Nevada, which are non-core to its primary business focus. In British Columbia, Element79 Gold has executed a Letter of Intent and funded a drilling program to acquire a private company which holds the option to 100% interest of the Snowbird High-Grade Gold Project, which consists of 10 mineral claims located in Central British Columbia, approximately 20km west of Fort St. James. The Company also has an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Dale Property, 90 unpatented mining claims located approximately 100 km southwest of Timmins, Ontario, Canada in the Timmins Mining Division, Dale Township. The Company is analyzing the non-core Nevada projects, The Dale Property and Snowbird Property for further merit of exploration, sale or spin-out.

2023.03.29 15:25 kaktusas2598 How to manage and provide common shaders in game engine
Hello guys,
I have been slowly working on 2D/3D game
engine for almost a year now. It uses SDL2 for windowing/input, stb_image for texture loading, OpenGL for rendering. I use Cmake to build it. I was using
learnopengl.com to learn OpenGL and have been doing this for a while now.
Things have been going pretty well so far, I have added some examples using my engine: 2D tiled map shooter demo, Platformer Demo with Box2D and a simple 3D scene. I have noticed on all these games I had to write my own shaders and while that's a nice ability to be able to write custom shaders I am wondering is it a common practise for engine to provide some shaders out of the box and how do people usually do this? I think this might be a problem for me if I want to create anything more impressive with 3D, because at least for 2D games, I have a batching system and I can already use it with box2d and my own tiled map loader to create some simple games.
I have a ResourceManager class which handles nearly all resource loading/cleaning, mainly Shaders and Textures, so I would still like ability to both provide your own shader and use one from the engine, because it can be annyoing setting same uniforms in every project using my engine. So how is it usually done? If that helps, I am trying to implement Scene Graph and this graph would be rendered using separate rendering engine class, I have been reading about forward multi-pass rendering and this is what I think I would like to implement. I have tried copying shader folder in cmake for every project, but that seems like a clunky solution
P.S. Also I think having better shader management system would be nice if I want to have multiple lights in the scene because all light calculations are in fragment shader now and it's very messy, so probably not the best way to manage that as I don't want user to have to do his own light calculations.

2023.03.29 15:25 Smilechurch Looking for conversations over coffee for exJWs in the Portland/Beaverton Oregon area
I’ve added my pin (near the Beaverton Public Library. I’ve also serendipitously discovered that the couple living next door to us are also ex JWs and we know dozens of folks in common. The four of us have grown close over dinners and discussions these past few months and would love to grow our group.
Anyhow I would love to meet up for a coffee or whatever and get acquainted.
Question: if I see a pin on the map, how do I go about sending them a message either directly or through an intermediary? I saw the FAQ on the map a read flying bastard’s post about it but the instructions seemed unclear at least to me, and now my POMO cock is stuck in a blender. Please help.

2023.03.29 15:25 Allions1 Informational tutorial: how to interact with smart contracts via Bscscan (similar for Etherscan, etc.)
| Hello fellow users of CC. Recently I found myself in need of interacting with a smart contract directly from bscscan. Now, a lot of us usually interact with smart contracts through the website of the DeFi project/DEX, but what happens if the website is unreachable or down? Smart contracts are on chain, so it is possibile to interact with them through the website that analyze blockchain transactions, such as Bscscan for BSC, Etherscan for ETH, Polygonscan for Polygon etc. The procedure is a bit difficult, my advice is to try it with an almost empty wallet before acting with your main wallet. The risk is to lose funds or interact with the smart contract in a wrong way. Disclaimer: this tutorial is for informational purposes only. If you try this you accept the warning and you understand that you may lose your funds if you do not fully understand how to interact with smart contracts and to issue commands. I deny any responsibility for mistakes/loss of funds if you try this. For this informational tutorial I'll use the project "Firefund(dot)finance", but I will not advertise it or explain what it is, I'll just use it's contract to show you how to interact with it. Let's say we deposited on the contract an amount of money via the website, after signing in the transaction with out MetaMask wallet. After some time the website goes offline so I cannot use the buttons there to compound/withdraw. I need to interact directly with the smart contract via bscscan. Follow these steps and look at the screenshots (taken from phone): - Go to bscscan.com within metamask browser (if you are on phone app) or via browser (if you are on desktop). Search for the firefund contract: 0x2152aa45e02c1022cAB4ad964663fB3D69C2023e
- Scroll down and click the contract tab
2) 3) If you want to use the contract "read" functions you don't have to connect your wallet, just enter the desired parameters which are often just your address. 3) 4) Let's try compounding using the write functions. Click the "write" button. 4) 5) You'll notice that you're not connected because of the red dot. Click "connect to Web3". When you have done that, a popup will ask you how you want to connect. Strangely enough clicking metamask didn't work for me, so I clicked "wallet connect". 5) 6) Now you will get a warning from bscscan underlying that this feature is beta. Click "ok". You may also get a popup from android (if you are on a phone) asking if you want to open the link with a new app, if so, metamask should be an option, then click that. You may find that metamask appears to crash at this point. It happens several times in the process for me. If this happens simply open metamask from your recent app cards and it should pick back up where you left off. You should also get a notification that you are approving metamask to interact with bscscan and you will want to accept that as well. If you are on desktop app, it should not be so buggy. 6) 7) At this point you should see a green circle saying you are connected. 7) 8) Scroll down and expand the function you want to use. In this case compounding. Click the write button. Note, this is an easy function that doesn't require parameters. If you want to use a contract function that needs parameters I recommend you only do this if you have some experience with writing code or help from someone who does. 8) 9) Now you'll get a popup asking you to confirm the transaction. At some point you may also get a warning about blocking external apps. Go ahead and allow this. 9) 10) And that's it! You now know the basic to interact with the smart contract, directly from bscscan, select what commadn you need and it should work fine. 10) In a similar way you can do this on Etherscan, Polygonscan etc.. Hope you enjoyed the reading! My advice is to always use a different wallet to interact with smart contracts. Never use your main wallet or a wallet where you store a lot of funds. Another important thing to remember: if you interact with a smart contract and you do not trust the source 100% use https://app.unrekt.net/ to remove Smart Contract Allowance and to check if you have signed scammy smart contracts. It's always good to remove any allowance that you don't need (even if you have to use some gas!). This is not a financial advice. This post is just a discussion on a topic. While commenting, please respect other's opinion (and mine)! As always, remember: Not Your Keys, Not Your Coins. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Cold storage is the only safe method for holding. Invest only what you can afford to lose. DYOR submitted by Allions1 to CryptoCurrency [link] [comments] |
2023.03.29 15:24 jwredskins55 Technical Analysis for AMD 3/29-------Pre-market
| Micron to the rescue So not horrible numbers from Micron. PC sales still look blehhhh and not super great but I think the big takeaway from this is that they believe they see a bottom in the data center business. I feel like Lisa has already said this so I'm not sure that there is anything "new" hear but the market is taking it as a chance to rally. But then you see other ones like NVDA who are also rallying and they don't have the same Data Center exposure that we do. So I feel like this is hype and the bigger thing is pre-positioning for what Micron predicted------And end to inventory glut in 2023 and back to tightened stock and elevated prices in 2024. So that itself would be very very good which is why I think people might be buying today. here is the question: Is this enough of a game changer to officially change the downtrend start on the chart or is this one more blip to sell a short??? For me I'm eyeballing that $85 level. We really don't have any support in this range and while we have given a lot back I'm not sure that when the market opens there is going to be enough here to elevate us. Pre-market prices are being driven up but sometimes these pre-market spikes encourage even more hard selling at the open as traders try to sell at the higher prices. We were in the $93s yesterday and a return is definitely on the table. if I can sell at $96 at the open before it drops down then I'm in business and these little pre-market spikes can encourage A LOT more sellers to pile in early than normally would be there. That $85 level was pretty sticky resistance for basically all of February and into march until this rally started. So for me I think there is a pretty good chance of support there. I like the idea of selling $80-$83 PUT's as we approach that number just to try to capture some premium and get assigned if we fall below that. But i do think there is a strong case for $85 to slow things down. i'm not sure that we see a big material support level until that number and if we could make that our new price floor before we get into the crux of earning season, then I think we might be in for a decent little rally and make a run at $100+ as we go into our next earnings cycle. The semi's are always volatile but for me its about lasting status. AMD's balance sheet still looks pretty good and I want us to gather some price support. I want us to break out of these blehhhhh $80s zone and get back to the triple digits and if we can do that in this market then I swear we are going to be CRAZY good as the economy improves in the coming years!!! submitted by jwredskins55 to AMD_Stock [link] [comments] |
2023.03.29 15:24 MutedAd3223 LF WIPs/recently completed fics that you love/cherish/lose sleep over etc
I am not exaggerating when I say that I may have read nearly all the *completed* Dramione fanfiction there is on AO3. All the Classics, the Hits, the Misses and everything in between. You would not be wrong in telling me to shut my laptop and get a life.
Will I? No, ma'am. I will not.
I did hit a slump and took a break for the last two months because I really wasn't feeling it until I read Lionheart by greenTeacup this week. Holy shirtwaffles, this story is brilliant and the author deserves every ounce of recognition and more. This story got me back and now I'm on the prowl for all the amazing new/recently completed Dramione works out there. Give me your best new hits, please!
I have only 2 requests: (i) that if a WIP, it be one with a somewhat reliable update schedule (my heart is fragile) and (ii) well written prose.
Thanks ya'll!

2023.03.29 15:23 Mas8i Where is the website where I can buy the properties?
Recently I downloaded Upland and I received my 6.000 UPX but they are not enough to buy a property in the game, but there are some properties that are priced on the website. Unfortunately I cannot find them, can someone tell me how to? Or someone has found a property that's under 6.000? Because otherwise I cannot start to play the game.

2023.03.29 15:23 Gvedhur Planning to apply to Darmasiswa scholarship. Need guidance before that...
Hello everyone. First and foremost, sorry this isn't in Bahasa Indonesia - my knowledge of the language is still near zero. Now, onto the topic: I need some guidance regarding the procedure of application to Darmasiswa scholarship programme, since I actually want to spend some sweet time in Indonesia for study purposes, but I'm unsure whether I'll qualify given my situation. I've already asked something similar on another subreddit, but the goal of the post was something slightly different. Now, I'd like to have someone who has been granted the scholarship before tell me about it and/or, if possible, someone from Indonesia who can tell me what the Ministry of Education exactly wants from prospect candidates, beyond what the instructive states as application requirements. All this because I have insecurity issues and I'd rather avoid participating if there's a great chance I'll be rejected due to any of the factors that may play against my attempt at earning it. Thanks beforehand. Stay healthy and happy.

2023.03.29 15:23 GolfBusters I Hit My Driver 100x a Day for One Month and Here Were the Results
Hey everyone, I had already posted this in golf but was told to share it here as well! So as the title says I decided I was going to hit my driver a minimum of 100x a day for one month with the goal to average more than 273 yards. If you don't want to read the entire post
here is a video that gives the exact same summary. For Day 1, I hit 30 drives that averaged 258 yards of distance and had an average offline of 33 yards. This meant on average I was missing the center of the fairway by 33 yards either left or right. I figured out that my swing had 3 fundamental things I needed to change over the 30-day period.
- My swing path was awful- I had a swing path that averaged 8-10 degrees out to in. Which meant if my face was square I was hitting it a mile left. If I closed my face to be even with my swing path I would hit it dead straight but it would start on a line that would go 50 yards right (I'm a lefty). And if I could happen to close my face the perfect amount to hit a straight shot I would lose serious distance because it would have to curve so much to get back to the center.
- My launch angle was low. I had an average launch angle of 8 degrees with my driver. To get the optimal distance you want your driver around 12-18 degrees. Basically, I was hitting it too low and needed to hit it up higher.
- My swing speed needed to improve. My day 1 average was 104mph and I need to try to get that much higher if I wanted to average over 273 yards.
Day 2-15: These days were primarily spent trying to fix my swing path and launch angle. I ended up fixing my swing path by taking the club (what felt like) extremely close to my body. This helped me come more in to out with my path and got my swing to an angle of 2-3 degrees out to in which was much more acceptable. One big thing I want to note here is that my swing path felt super weird at first but when I looked back at the video it actually looked really good. This goes to show all because it feels weird, doesn't mean it looks weird. The other thing I fixed in this time period was my VLA (vertical launch angle). I fixed this by having more of a shoulder tilt and focusing more on hitting up on the ball. When I fixed these two things
it helped me increase my average to 264 yards, and I also got about 4 yards more accurate on my best days. Day 16-21- While every day I was trying to increase my swing speed, I really put a big effort these days trying to improve it. Despite my best efforts I seemed to max out at 106mph on average and the best I could get was 110mph no matter how hard I swung. I was beginning to lose hope here because I would have to have a near-perfect day if I wanted to average more than 273 yards.
Days 21-25 (The Vacation)- We went on a family vacation in Florida and my wife wouldn't let me golf every day. So I actually wasn't able to hit 100 drives on these days which seems like it would hurt me but the rest I got in these days was actually very important and will play a role later in this post.
Day 26 (The Jump in SS)- When we returned home from Florida my swing speed had suddenly jumped up an insane amount. I went from averaging 106 and maxing out at 110 to suddenly hitting multiple 113mphs and having one swing go 115mph during GSPRO tournament play. I was shocked because I had literally been hitting 100+ drives a day and my normal day was 104mph on average and then all of a sudden I was swinging 110+ easily. I don't know exactly what did it but my guess is the days to rest my body gave it time to heal and repair itself to allow me to swing faster.
Day 28 (Completing the challenge)- This day it all came together and I was finally able to average over 273 yards on the driving range, and I didn't just beat 273 yards, I absolutely crushed it. On Day 28 I
averaged 288 yards off the tee, 111 club speed, and 22 yards of offline. While this was definitely a day where all the stars aligned, I have tested my driving distance since this day and have never been below 273 since. The biggest catalyst for this distance was the increase in swing speed, but fixing my path and launch angle played a tremendous role as well.
Overall the challenge was a blast to do, very tiring, and my neighbor called the cops on me mid-way through the challenge to file a noise complaint. I don't think she realized that a start-up bomb factory was being run in the house next door, the cops however thought my simulator was sweet and we all had a good laugh about it.
TLDR: I hit 100+ Drives a day for one month and was able to hit my driver 30 yards farther on average, 11 yards straighter, and increase my average swing speed from 104mph to 111mph.

2023.03.29 15:23 sirgamestop Obituary of Stalin by incredibly influential 20th century Black sociologist and co-founder of the NAACP W.E.B Du Bois {"doo-BOYS", not the French way, Hakim would be proud).
Joseph Stalin was a great man; few other men of the 20th century approach his stature. He was simple, calm and courageous. He seldom lost his poise; pondered his problems slowly, made his decisions clearly and firmly; never yielded to ostentation nor coyly refrained from holding his rightful place with dignity. He was the son of a serf but stood calmly before the great without hesitation or nerves. But also—and this was the highest proof of his greatness—he knew the common man, felt his problems, followed his fate.
Stalin was not a man of conventional learning; he was much more than that: he was a man who thought deeply, read understandingly and listened to wisdom, no matter whence it came. He was attacked and slandered as few men of power have been; yet he seldom lost his courtesy and balance; nor did he let attack drive him from his convictions nor induce him to surrender positions which he knew were correct. As one of the despised minorities of man, he first set Russia on the road to conquer race prejudice and make one nation out of its 140 groups without destroying their individuality.
His judgment of men was profound. He early saw through the flamboyance and exhibitionism of Trotsky, who fooled the world, and especially America. The whole ill-bred and insulting attitude of Liberals in the U.S. today began with our naive acceptance of Trotsky’s magnificent lying propaganda, which he carried around the world. Against it, Stalin stood like a rock and moved neither right nor left, as he continued to advance toward a real socialism instead of the sham Trotsky offered.
Three great decisions faced Stalin in power and he met them magnificently: first, the problem of the peasants, then the West European attack, and last the Second World War. The poor Russian peasant was the lowest victim of tsarism, capitalism and the Orthodox Church. He surrendered the Little White Father easily; he turned less readily but perceptibly from his ikons; but his kulaks clung tenaciously to capitalism and were near wrecking the revolution when Stalin risked a second revolution and drove out the rural bloodsuckers.
Then came intervention, the continuing threat of attack by all nations, halted by the Depression, only to be re-opened by Hitlerism. It was Stalin who steered the Soviet Union between Scylla and Charybdis: Western Europe and the U.S. were willing to betray her to fascism, and then had to beg her aid in the Second World War. A lesser man than Stalin would have demanded vengeance for Munich, but he had the wisdom to ask only justice for his fatherland. This Roosevelt granted but Churchill held back. The British Empire proposed first to save itself in Africa and southern Europe, while Hitler smashed the Soviets.
The Second Front dawdled, but Stalin pressed unfalteringly ahead. He risked the utter ruin of socialism in order to smash the dictatorship of Hitler and Mussolini. After Stalingrad the Western World did not know whether to weep or applaud. The cost of victory to the Soviet Union was frightful. To this day the outside world has no dream of the hurt, the loss and the sacrifices. For his calm, stern leadership here, if nowhere else, arises the deep worship of Stalin by the people of all the Russias.
Then came the problem of Peace. Hard as this was to Europe and America, it was far harder to Stalin and the Soviets. The conventional rulers of the world hated and feared them and would have been only too willing to see the utter failure of this attempt at socialism. At the same time the fear of Japan and Asia was also real. Diplomacy therefore took hold and Stalin was picked as the victim. He was called in conference with British imperialism represented by its trained and well-fed aristocracy; and with the vast wealth and potential power of America represented by its most liberal leader in half a century.
Here Stalin showed his real greatness. He neither cringed nor strutted. He never presumed, he never surrendered. He gained the friendship of Roosevelt and the respect of Churchill. He asked neither adulation nor vengeance. He was reasonable and conciliatory. But on what he deemed essential, he was inflexible. He was willing to resurrect the League of Nations, which had insulted the Soviets. He was willing to fight Japan, even though Japan was then no menace to the Soviet Union, and might be death to the British Empire and to American trade. But on two points Stalin was adamant: Clemenceau’s “Cordon Sanitaire” must be returned to the Soviets, whence it had been stolen as a threat. The Balkans were not to be left helpless before Western exploitation for the benefit of land monopoly. The workers and peasants there must have their say.
Such was the man who lies dead, still the butt of noisy jackals and of the ill-bred men of some parts of the distempered West. In life he suffered under continuous and studied insult; he was forced to make bitter decisions on his own lone responsibility. His reward comes as the common man stands in solemn acclaim
https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/biographies/1953/03/16.htm Send this to any lib friends that are close to radicalization but still dislike Stalin, it worked on me personally. Also, read Du Bois's other works. They're tremendous works of analysis on white supremacy and discrimination against African-Americans and are very important pieces of theory if you care at all about intersectionality (and if you don't, get the fuck off this subreddit and go back to the Twitter replies of Jackson Tinkle or whatever you aren't a socialist), particularly in America.
Also, out of all the biographies of abolitionist John Brown, the man who got over 100 subs with the name "ChapoTrapHouse" banned and more importantly conducted the Raid on Harper's Ferry, Du Bois's is the best.

2023.03.29 15:22 Human-Cupcake-268 Self care after ex hurt me
my ex came over relatively unannounced on Saturday and we had a relatively bad issue (i posted about it already in relationship advice so this post isn’t going into detail about it)
since then i haven’t been able to feel comfortable and relaxed in my dorm. i wasn’t able to shower until Monday, and i had a panic attack the entire time and it took me an hour to even be able to get up and undress. thinking about or going into the bathroom makes me shake violently and my own bedroom sets me on edge. since Saturday my room has gotten to the point where it’s cluttered everything is everywhere, and it’s dirty. i cant bring myself to get the motivation to clean, and i’m struggling with being able to shower and take care of my body. yesterday i told my mom and my therapist what happened, and they’ve both been supportive beyond belief, but it’s embarrassing. Right now i’m at college, it’s my last semester before i graduate, and i haven’t been able to make it to class (especially after this weekend) without a struggle or having to bolt midway through. i need to finish this school year up and get my bachelors and move on to grad school, but all this is making it damn near impossible.
i haven’t even been able to sleep, last night was the first night i didn’t wake up every hour shaking and nauseous.
I’m not sure what to do or how to help myself and i hate it. i can feel myself withdrawing from my social groups, closing myself in my room, and wanting to lay in bed with the blinds shut all day (i’m usually a really social outgoing and outdoorsy person) and i know i just need to get back out there but i just feel like i CANT.

2023.03.29 15:22 Clean-Tradition-8935 MIL takes in a teen
So I just joined this group this week for an unrelated issue surrounding our wedding, but I posted this in the comments and wanted to get opinions/advise. Do not repost/share please. Sorry for the long post, it’s a very complication situation.
My husband met a girl when he was in the military 17 years ago who was pregnant with another man’s baby, she didn’t know who the dad was. My husband raised this little girl until she was about 3, she called him dad, he was the first of many dads she’s had in her life.
The mom pushed my husband out of her life 14 years ago, but my MIL has kissed the moms butt over the years to maintain a relationship with the girl. Even now the mom is snapping pictures in my MILs living room, hanging out with my MIL, they comment all over each others social media, etc. I find it disrespectful, my husband doesn’t appreciate it (he’s brought it up to her), but she’s an adult, she can talk to and have whoever she wants over. It does hurt my feelings though, and it’s frustrating to constantly hear about your husbands ex girlfriend.
The newest dad died of an overdose when he and the mom fell off the wagon, and my MIL moved the girl from 10 hours away and took her in. It’s been great for her to have some stability and structure, she’s going to graduate high school on time, and she has goals for her life now. I love this girl, she’s absolutely family, and we have a great relationship. She’s always welcome at our home, we do things together the three of us, but also just her and me.
However, the MIL never discussed moving her in with my husband and I until after the fact, but assured him there were no expectations from him. We’re 2 hours away, were recently married and we’re starting our family, we saving to buy a house, we have super demanding jobs, etc. Taking in a troubled teen is just not something we can do right now, but more importantly uprooting her again wouldn’t benefit her at all. She’s on a good track up there with my MIL. She also loves to constantly complain about how hard it is on her to take in a teen, seemingly suggesting we take her in.
It is definitely causing problems in her own marriage with her husband. He pays most of the bills, all of their kids are fully grown, and taking in a teenager is not something he’s excited about, he’s drunkenly spilled his guts over it before. The teen, not surprisingly, can be ungrateful for all of the things they do for her, obviously normal behavior for a teen, and the new husband can get frustrated with that behavior. I think his biggest issue, though, is there is no end in sight for him…more on this below.
My MIL has been pushing for this girl to take my husbands last name, I’ve pushed back and said she’s better off picking a name out of the blue and creating her own identity rather than latching on to every man that her mom brings into her life. At this point my husbands relationship with this girl is more like big brothelittle sister.
She does things like “well maybe your dad will (insert extravagant plan that costs way too much money here)…” which of course we can’t do. It’s been everything from helping her build a car, huge snowboarding trips, etc. Overall it’s creating issues because they’re instilling expectations with this poor girl that my husband is going to step in and be the dad she never had (or hasn’t had since she was 3), and she’s just getting set up to be let down by another man in her life.
My husband has a great idea about talking to the girl about joining the military when she graduates. He thinks it will give her the structure she needs, surround her with people with similar people, and help her experience the world. She’s quite sheltered, she can’t even go to the bathroom on her own, like even walk around and LOOK for the bathroom at a restaurant on her own. She is constantly attention seeking, needs constant reassurance, etc. - when we talk about having kids or my MIL asks “when are you going to give me grand babies?” We get “you already have a child,” or “but I’m your first grand baby.” I believe my MiL feeds this attention seeking behavior. Obviously it’s not the girl’s fault, but my husband thinks the military would be perfect for her, that’s the route he went down and it benefitted him greatly as well.
However, my MIL is doing everything she can to get this girl into a local-ish cosmetology school - like 45 minutes away. Filing her FAFSA for her, filling out applications, etc. She even got a scholarship that I’m certain my MIL wrote the essay for. But my thought process immediately goes to “why can’t a 17, almost 18 year old do some of this if not most of this on their own, with support from MIL?” The FAFSA was filed as “homeless” so it’s not like she needs parental tax info. Not to mention, she’s convinced she wants to do this as a career but hasn’t ever actually done it a day in her life. I don’t know how our society could ever expect an 18 year old to decide what they want to do with their lives, but certainly not this one. She makes comments about the huge house she’s going to buy when she starts working after she finishes school, so she’s going in with unrealistic expectations, I have a feeling she won’t even stick with it.
Also, she sent us a message “If you want to get her something for hs graduation, money of any amount would be helpful.” I have issues when people specifically request money, because it makes you spend more, whereas if your getting a gift they don’t know what you spent, it’s more about the thought. Secondly, I feel like this is an opening to start asking for help paying for school costs down the road, because they certainly can’t afford to put her through school on her own. Even the residual costs of school - gas, car, insurance to get to/from, eventually an apartment, we all know how much it all costs. The girl can’t even walk down the street with someone behind her, one of many “phobias” she has, I can’t imagine she’s ready to get a job, juggle responsibilities, manage costs/budgets, etc. I just know she’s going to expect us to chip in.
My husband is great, we’re on the same page with all of this, and he does not care about pissing his mom off. He doesn’t feed into/respond to the attention seeking or any of that. He has zero intentions to help her with school costs or prioritize what’s going on over our family goals. But how do we navigate this? Is this unreasonable?

2023.03.29 15:21 krodarklorr So, I Finally Caved and Got Wingspan...
Good morning all. About a week and a half ago I found some killer deals online and got both Lost Ruins of Arnak and Wingspan for half price, brand new. Couldn't pass it up (I don't have a problem, you do).
Last night my friend came over and I had received both games in the past few days, read the rules thoroughly, sleeved all the cards, and was ready. We played both, really liked Arnak, and were both kind of "Eh" about Wingspan.
I'm a big fan of Everdell and prefer the theme of that one over Wingspan, but it's like the universe was sending me signs everywhere I went (It was on shelves at every store, staring at me) and so I figured, why not?
Well, mechanically, it's a neat game. It's satisfying to have an engine of "I'm gonna draw a lot of cards and get eggs and such". But...that's all there is to it. The game is super short, and me and my friend immediately agreed on "Wait, that's it? It's over?" And unlike most worker placement/engine building games, your turns get shorter towards the end. Plus, games like Everdell actually have competition over spots/events, and cards that let you somewhat interact with players. Wingspan has...some cards that occasionally trigger when an opponent does something (and those Pink ability birds are very rare from what I've seen).
I'm not upset, as what I spent on it is well worth it, since the production quality of the components/cards/bird feedeplayer boards are all excellent and playing with sleeved cards is satisfying, but I just can't help but wonder "Why is this game more popular than Everdell on BGG?" How did it ever reach such a high spot? To each their own, I guess.

2023.03.29 15:20 flyestshit [DISCUSSION] eMC - The Show (15 Years Later)
Masta Ace was notorious for releasing concept albums that tell a whole story in the 2000s and his supergroup's debut, released on March 25th 2008, was no exception. After following his characters to "The Institute of Disposable Arts" on
Disposable Arts (2001) and following him though Brooklyn and on a small tour on "A Long Hot Summer" (2004),
The Show's story follows eMC on a day during their tour. It's probably the most biographical album of the three, given that eMC was indeed founded as a group after going on tour with Ace. The group consists of Masta Ace, Punchline, Wordsworth and Strick. The others have made names for themselves in underground rap circles as parts of Rawkus' Lyricist Lounge (Punch-N-Words) and being on Tommy Boy (Stricklin) respectively.
