2023.06.10 20:56 Eboksba Creation of the Thaumcraft Neverhood Communities/Modpack! Alpha testers wanted!
Good morning/evening secret Thaumaturgists.
I am proud to announce, after a year in development, the creation of the Thaumcraft Neverhood Community and its associated modpack/server. Not a day has gone by in the panoply of subreddits and many modding communities without sorrow over the passing of Thaumcraft's time. Gone are the days of public and permanent dedicated Thaumcraft servers, spent are those hidden communities, drowned are the decrepit servers and ruins are all that remain of such a golden age of Minecraft modding.
Until now.
It has been *quite* some time since a dedicated public Thaumcraft server has lifted its flag, and it is with incredible pride that I announce its resurgence. Enter: The Thaumcraft Neverhood.
You see, Thaumcraft's creator, Azanor, spent years recreating over and over Thaumcraft's wonderful system and engine, and while the particulars changed with each version, the essentials remained the same; Essentia, Marvels, Madness. Being the ultimate magic mod with no easy competition and with a depth to chew on for years alone, Thaumcraft nurtured an addon scene of quality content and magnificently crafted environments that inspired people for decades. But Minecraft changed, over and over, and with each version, Azanor had to work harder and harder, rebuilding from the ground up ad nauseum until finally it was too much, leaving his latest version, Thaumcraft 6, unfinished and lacking in his previous creations. It would then sit there, forever untouched as Azanor retreated to his own personal demiplane. Other teams have attempted to pick up the reigns with his permission, but developer hell, small crafting budgets, and other issues have kept those groups and completion of the translation in limbo for years. Even then, it would be merely recreating an unfinished version, devoid of the fullness of the experience (though I have nothing but respect for those brave communities and modders that try).
Therefore, being a general consensus of multiple communities of the fullness and total content/inclusion/addon-scene, this modpack aims to be the **perfect** Thaumcraft experience, within the 1.7.10 version ruleset of Thaumcraft 4. Accompanying Thaumcraft and a number of the highest quality works-together addon mods, are additional dimensions, each selected for excellence and thoroughness of development, a perfect time machine to that era. For such a magnificent magical system deserves an equally magnificent set of places to explore and things to do, no?
What I have here is the alpha for such a magnificent endeavor, painfully coded and blood spilt to ensure compatibility with everything. Well, most everything. I need a team of alpha testers to break this mod over its knees. Crash it, break it, boil it. Fill the Aether with seas of flux, create a calculator using only golems, see how many ender pearls a rift wand can store before it explodes. In short, I need tests, experimentation, and feedback, SO much delightful feedback. I've gone as far as I can with 1 person, and before I go public with a stable launch of a forever server, I need to anneal it to the public's inspection as I'm aiming for perfection here, not "merely good enough to load."
For those that are interested, I would greatly welcome any willing to join in to get the ball rolling, but with or without you, I am making this happen. For those that want to help influence its early shaping, come and join us!

| ➡️ https://www.genkicourses.site/product/chris-orzechowski-badass-black-friday-bundle/⬅️ Get the course here: [Genkicourses.site] [Get] Chris Orzechowski – Badass Black Friday Bundle - Full Course Download What You Get: Course #1 Black Friday Bootcamp This is a short course I created for one of my e-commerce coaching groups. It outlines the high level strategy you need to use to MAXIMIZE sales for BFCM. I go over everything from how to map out your promo calendar… what emails to send when… exactly when you should START and FINISH your promo(s)… and, most importantly… … how to STAND OUT and grab attention in an overcrowded inbox, so you can break every sales record. Once you watch this mini-course, you’re going to be pumping out high-converting BFCM campaigns in no time! Course #2 Make It Rain Monthly BFCM/Q4 Planning Call This is a special “members-only” coaching call I recorded with a handful of my top students to help them prepare their clients’ brands for BFCM success. I even critique (and edit) a few of my students’ BFCM emails during this call. You can look over my shoulder and see how I think about constructing these email campaigns and sequences – super valuable! Course #3 Make It Rain Monthly Issue #8 The Black Friday / Cyber MondayMEGA Issue Part 1 - My “A-Z” roadmap for creating highly profitable Cyber Week email marketing campaigns.
- The FIRST email you should send in the month of November, to increase the sales you make from every email you send for the next six weeks (I actually wrote this email for you. You can swipe it verbatim. Just swap in some small details about your business, hit send, and watch the sales start rolling in.)
- How to map out a three-month promotional calendar in less than 60 minutes. (Plus, how to come up with the topics to send, on which days, to the right subscribers.)
- What to do (instead of just giving a discount or giving a bonus) that’ll incite a buying frenzy, generate word of mouth buzz, create raving fans, AND could possibly lead to record-breaking sales.
- A breakdown of a collection of BFCM emails, including some from a sequence that brought in six-figures in one week flat.
Course #4 Make It Rain Monthly Issue #9 The Black Friday / Cyber MondayMEGA Issue Part 2 - The “Magic Box” Method I used to free up 25 hours of creative time on my calendar, so I could get more work done in less time, with less stress… and more time to myself.
- The biggest mistake I made as I began growing my team… and how I fixed it so everyone could perform at a higher, more autonomous level.
- How to finally get clear on what you want in life… and how to go get it.
- Why trying to be a ‘cool boss’ might hurt your team more than help it.
- One psychological insight that’ll make selling to ‘people with money’ 10x easier. This works especially well if you’re selling a high-end product/high-ticket service.
- One software that can cut your weekly call volume down by 70% (or more).
- The “AC” email promotion that’ll send your Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales through the roof.
- How to scoop up TONS of sales from people who didn’t buy from your BF/CM campaign.
- Why giving a discount might actually HURT your sales and turn off a large percentage of your customers.
- When to use a discount vs other types of offers in your emails (they both work and can both be used strategically… but you’ve gotta do this right.)
- How to instantly induce an “I’ve gotta spend money with this brand” feeling in your customers… even if they weren’t planning on buying anything five minutes before seeing your email.
- A breakdown of a six-figure BF/CM email campaign (meaning: we actually ran this for one of my e-commerce clients and generated six-figures in sales with it).
- A two-word subject line you can use on Black Friday to stick out like a sore thumb and get your subscribers’ attention… even when everyone else is screaming about their sales.
- The one type of campaign you should run if you feel like offering discounts ‘cheapens’ your brand.
- How to adapt this campaign for OTHER holidays throughout the year (like Mother’s Day & Father’s Day). I even riffed off a quick email hook you can keep in your back pocket until spring.
Course #5 Make It Rain Monthly Issue #20 The Black Friday / Cyber Monday2021 Gameplan - The SMS Sign Up Sequence that helped us grow an SMS list by 1,000+ subscribers while generating $10,000+ in sales.
- How to make a TON of sales on Thanksgiving… without pissing off everyone on your list. (In fact, people will be giddy with anticipation if you do this promo right.)
- A psychological trigger you can use in your copy that makes your customers go crazy for your products.
- Why BFCM21 is going to look very different than years past… and the changes you should make to your strategy to stand out in the inbox (and make a ton of sales).
- How the smartest marketers and brand owners are adapting to iOS14 and iOS15 (and the big shift you need to make to thrive).
- Will SMS marketing replace or kill email? My surprising answer on page 3.
- How to dramatically increase your EHR (effective hourly rate)… so you can increase profits while working less.
- Insights from an SMS campaign I ran back in 2017 that worked incredibly well… and got people asking us to send them MORE texts (it’s a cool approach you can adapt for your own brand).
- How to write headlines and subject lines that trigger INSTANT curiosity… that suck your prospects in and DEMAND attention. (Try this with your landing pages and advertorial pages and watch your click-thrus SKYROCKET)
- The #1 copy mistake I see most copywriters and brand owners make with ALL of their emails, landing pages, ads, video scripts, and more.
- Fix this one thing and you’ll be amazed at how much better your copy reads and converts.
- How to get your customers to ‘think past the sale’ and get emotionally attached to your product… so they feel compelled to buy. (Sneaky… but powerful. And yes, totally ethical.)
- 6 SMS messages that ‘primed the pump’ for our sales pitches… while making our customers feel a rush of positive thoughts and emotions.
- The secret to writing tighter, pithier copy.
- 3 copy principles for high converting SMS messages.

- The Triple Threat BFCM campaign calendar you should try this Q4. (Could it triple your sales? Only one way to find out…)
- What almost EVERYONE gets wrong about Gary Vee’s jab-jab-jab-right hook approach to marketing… and why it might be the smartest tactic to use come this Q4 (and beyond).
- 5 more SMS list building examples that can get you a TON of new subscribers while making lots of “easy sales” in the process.
- How to use email to ‘scoop up’ buckets of new buyers… even the people who DON’T buy from you.
- Are you scared of emailing too often? Check out the tip on page 22 that’ll reduce your complaints and increase your sales.
- The four core campaigns EVERY brand should be running on a monthly basis… even if you’re not in e-com. (I use this with my own list and it works incredibly well.)
Course #6 Holiday Sale Super Sequence Want to scoop up even MORE sales during the holidays (without the hassle of figuring out your promo calendar)? This Holiday Sale Super Sequence is based on campaigns I still run for my agency clients that generate anywhere between $30-$50K — without fail. Comes with SIX email templates, a quick-start implementation video and super secret bonus. So if you want to generate massive sales easily every time there’s a holiday… then this training is going to help you make that happen. This sequence is PERFECT for BFCM… but you can even modify it to run other holiday sales throughout the year.

2023.06.10 20:55 Party_Tea3844 New Player Question Here!
Hey all! This is my first post here as a brand new player who has never played any SF in the past. My boyfriend bought the game for me and I want to get better so I can play with him. I have gotten somewhat comfortable with the Modern controls on Chun Li, but I want to switch over to Classic controls so I can utilize her standing overhead and use her stance more!
I’m mainly asking if you guys have any tips on how to transition from Modern to Classic, especially with small and frankly non-dexterous fingers. Anything and everything is welcome! I just want to get better 😅

2023.06.10 20:54 D8N8A8 little theory about Imu (spoiler 1085)
This is a little theory about
Imu after what happened in
chapter 1085 - waited a little to avoid spoiling who reads the weekly chapters only on Manga Plus. I didn't see the same theory around so I hope nobody else wrote a similar post that simply went unread.
When reading chapter 1085, you would probably think about Zoans, especially Mythical or awakened since they are quite popular lately. That outcome would be a bit too obvious and disappointing, so let's not take anything for granted (even if we know that Oda-sensei would definitely still be able to masterfully pull it off).
We saw some old dudes seemingly transforming into powerful beasts. But what if they didn't transform themselves?
What if somebody else triggered that transformation? We were led to believe that Imu is immortal thanks to a certain procedure, so it would be anticlimactic if the other five did the same, right? Therefore we can suppose only Imu is immortal:
the Five Elders are simply the current ones in that position, maybe even with a boost that grants them to have prolonged lifespans. And they could have these oh-so-powerful Devil Fruits like Mythical Zoans, maybe preserved just for the Five Elders like Big Mom probably preserved all those food-related Devil Fruits for her children. But, again, this would anticlimactic, especially when we just had a full arc with Zoan-only enemies: so let's suppose
the Five Elders don't have Devil Fruits powers (or at least not the ones we could think reading chapter 1085).
The kind of transformation we are talking about. So how could this be? What could bring to a transformation triggered by external factors and maybe a prolonged lifespan in the One Piece world, particularly in the panels the theory started from? Exactly: a Devil Fruit manipulating genes. Tentative name:
Jin Jin no Mi / Gene Gene. If Imu had this kind of fruit, they could
manipulate their own genes and others' genes (maybe thanks to the awakening they had 800 years to develop and refine), therefore triggering their
Lineage Factors (OP version of DNA) to recombine and makeing their bodies transform in other creatures. Rings a bell? This is how
Garfield Logan / Beast Boy / Changeling work! He can just shapeshift in whatever animal he wants (even demon-like beasts) so it is indeed a prototype for this hypothetical Devil Fruit.
Gar shapeshifting manipulating his DNA.
This paragraph is more stretchy but you have read this far, so here's some food for thought. We already saw "advanced versions" of other Devil Fruits (like Ton Ton > Kilo Kilo , Buki Buki > Supa Supa , Magu Magu > Mera Mera , Hie Hie > Yuki Yuki), so this Gene Gene could be a sort of advanced version of both Nomi Nomi and Mane Mane: it lets Imu store information about every kind of genes in your own genes (Lineage Factor) and manipulate them accordingly to gain physical boosts or shapeshift.
OK, so that's it all folks. Thanks for the read and have a nice day!

2023.06.10 20:54 Umbreon_Ayden AITJ for taking a Karen to court because she shot my Cat
I am 27 years old and the Karen is probably in her 50’s - 60’s. So I own a cat that was 4 years old in his story. I named him Abacus, Actually no my GF named him and he was a very good cat. He would not bite, scratch, or hiss he was normally very loving toward strangers. I just moved to a new state from Ohio to California and was getting my things out of the moving truck and into my new dump of a house until Abacus jumps out of my car and begins wandering around and that’s when Karen kicks in screaming at me holding my cat yelling that it should be on a leash and THEN SHE DROPS MY CAT ON THE FLOOR thankfully Abacus landed on his feet and I began scolding the lady Me: What the hell is wrong with you Karen: Put that thing on a leash or I will take matters into my own hands there are kids living here you know! So 3 hours later I’m done unpacking and I’m sitting down on my couch watching TV and I notice Abacus went out the window! I think nothing of it as he normally comes and goes as he pleases I trust that little tabby with that but when he doesn’t come back after a day I start getting worried so I talk to my friend who I will call Winston to vent on how worried I was (Im a boy and we aren’t gay) so Winston lives 4 blocks from me and he is a neighbor of Karen and Winston said he thought he heard a gunshot so I SPED over there and I banged on Karen’s door and asked her what she did with my cat and she said I don’t know then in her yard I see. My bloody battered cat with a gunshot in his head. I fell to the floor crying and I pushed the Karen into the wall and said Me: I WILL BE TAKING YOU TO COURT Karen: I’d like to see you try no one will believe you Winston: I’m a witness I heard the gunshot… Karen: S* This isn’t the end of the story I’m still taking her to court but I’m wondering.. Am I the jerk?

2023.06.10 20:54 MilkyButter42 Applied to a position with popular company, received text message that seems off?
So I applied to a position with a well known company in the US (nothing prestigious or anything, think retail but pays a little bit better than normal retail in my area) and a few weeks later I received a text message that says: “Hi Milky, My name is (they put their actual name) and we saw that you applied to our (actual name of position) position with (actual company name) and am reaching out to you to see if you are open to employment with us! We are currently hiring in your area. Please feel free to check out the link below for open roles near you... (Added link to job application that I already applied to)” Also sent a text that said “Reply STOP to quit”. How do I respond to this? They didn’t contact me through email or phone call, which I also provided, and to me this text kind of seems unclear. I guess my question is does this seem legitimate, how do I respond to this text, and where do I go from here?

2023.06.10 20:54 Fanini_96 The Negatives DO outweigh the Positives
Amazon has designed this whole system to burn through people BEFORE changing anything for their drivers because they just can. That is not okay, and it leads to a mediocre workforce. Amazon knows this, so refrain from acting like people with legitimate concerns are in the wrong here. This job sucks most days!
Guess what? It doesn’t even have to be that way. By telling our peers to stop complaining, you’re feeding the toxicity machine that is this job. Amazon thanks you! Instead we can be supportive with each other.
We should be asking for better because it is POSSIBLE. Just recently, the poor air conditions in the Northeast Amazon sent a message to RTS after plenty of packages were delivered. Was it possible to hold off deliveries that day? (yes)
I get that some people find complaining annoying, but it minimizes the many legitimate concerns.
And yes, there are pros to this job. Nobody is saying there aren’t. But with how many people quit this job I’d say those pros are extremely subjective rather than beneficial.

2023.06.10 20:54 Ok_Confusion_3911 My parents are refusing to let me go outside and are not letting people visit me
My parents are refusing to let me go outside and I feel like I'll go insane. My parents will only allow me to go to school but after school I need to be home immediately or they will punish me longer. Even if they are going outside I am not allowed to join or even ask. I already Lau in my bed all day and only go outside with friends once or twice a week because I oftentimes don't have the motivation to go outside and make myself look presentable but I am still happy when people ask me to hang out. I have one friend who lives pretty far away and doesn't go to the same school who I only see once a week, the longest we've gone without seeing each other is 1 month and it made my mental health worse because he is my strongest support and I am very attached to him. We were supposed to meet next Saturday like we usually do but now I have to tell him I can't come. They also told me I will not be able to go to my bestfriend to comfort while she is mourning her father, she has the same problems I do (sh and scuicide) I am worried that she'll do something to herself and that I won't be there to comfort her. I am scared that I'll get used to doing nothing on the weekend like how I do nothing exept school on the weekdays and that I won't be able to get out from it again. This isn't the first time my parents do something like this, they have also been emotionally abusive in the past, especially my mom, my dad only screams at me sometimes hits me, but my mother comments on everything I do, she guilt tripping me, gaslights me and a lot of other things. My mom once made me feel guilty that the letter I wrote her when I attempted to end it wasn't emotional enough and to next time talk about her more instead of other people. I won't have anyone I can vent to about my class or problems and urges. I am at my lowest point and already planning again, knowing I will spend my last day without being able to hug and say goodbye to the people I love makes my heart hurt but I can't help it and need to live with it just a little longer. This time my parents will not be receiving a letter but I will somehow try to give one to each of the people I love. I am so sorry I am leaving my bestfriend while you are going through this and I am so sorry for not being able to support my closest friend and leaving him. I just hope that they know that love them. I wish I could say something about my niece but she is too young to understand, I am ashamed of myself for leaving amd never being able to see my friends amd myself graduate, to never see my niece go through her first heartbreak or getting married, I will never be able to attend the school that I worked so hard for but I am so happy that I won't need to suffer anymore. I am so sorry for just dumping this here and being dramatic about little things.

2023.06.10 20:54 The_Filthy_Spaniard FUCK REDDIT! So help me I will take this subreddit DOWN if they don't FIX THEIR SHIT RIGHT NOW!! (API protest 12th June)
Yo wassap morons
Turns out Reddit is run by a bunch of greedy scumbag idiots (like duh), and they are going to kill all the
actually working mobile apps, and force everyone to use their shitty trash-ass garbage embarrassment of an official mobile app, starting on July 1st.
You can read more about it over here, except I know you won't cos For Honor Rants users hate making reads.
Just know that the lame main sub, the sweaty comp sub, and
basically every other subreddit that matters, are all
shutting down on 12th June for 48 hours in protest, and the mod team of this cesspool have decided to join them - so
the rants sub will also be shutting down during the protest. We will open up again on 15th June, so you can all complain about the new season and how Aztecs are lame, Spaniards are all smelly and so is the Conqusitador warmonger skin, the bash TG is insane (even though you already can't react to 500ms bashes and aren't affected at all), and you can't believe that Hitokiri got buffed to have more of an opener and you can't just light spam her out of her hebies (even though her damage will be going down so she'll take longer to kill you), and just in general let you vent in peace, instead of confronting how bad you are at the video game.
If this all makes you angry, and lord knows, it would be a first if it
didn't, go express your rage from 12th-14th June by spamming
reddit admins with how fucking stupid they're being. Or just play the game, and try to "git gud" for once instead of complaining, or go and jerk off or touch grass or something, I don't care.

2023.06.10 20:54 PurposeFind Despite having a boyfriend, I have nobody to talk to. I feel so alone.
Just venting about life. I’ll be talking about abuse, mental health, suicide, and self-harm just in case that could be upsetting for some.
I (24F) have been dating the same man (26M) for almost 6 years now. I’ve never been in a relationship before him. I also never really had any friends or anything.
As a child, I was extremely withdrawn and never socialized. I was also physically and emotionally abused everyday up until I ran away and was homeless at 18 years old. CPS never did anything despite always going to school with some type of bruise or injury.
I come from a culture where it’s normal for the whole family to live together (my parents didn’t abuse me, but an alcoholic/drug addict lived with us). My brother left the house immediately after graduating high school. I basically did too, but I “ran away” after being beaten because I wanted to take a break from school and take a gap year before going to college…I almost died just because I wanted to take a gap year. After that conversation, a family member enrolled me in a local state university anyway and I was forced to go to class (I couldn’t drive at the time so I was forced everyday to get up, dragged into the car, and was dropped off at the university). I desperately told a classmate my situation and she helped me leave my house. From then on, I basically hopped from random dorms, houses, and apartments daily.
I met my bf while I was homeless and eventually moved in with him. We lived together for about a year. My brother passed away in 2018, and I decided to move back in with my parents…Who ultimately decided to kick everyone else out after my brother passed away. My life is a lot better now. My parents are extremely busy people, so I never formed much of a relationship with them in the past. I try to now, and it is working. But I don’t think I’ll ever get to the point where I feel comfortable talking to them about anything outside of my eduction or job.
I have PTSD (amongst the fun depression + anxiety cocktail) and recently got insurance, so I’m seeking help now. I’m going to therapy. I’m trying to recover. But I have no one I can vent to (other than my therapist and coworkers that are willing to lend an ear). I keep my mental health a secret from my parents.
My mental health is declining. It doesn’t matter where I sleep, I still wake up in the middle of the night and “forget” where I am for a solid few moments. I wake up back to the moments of panic I used to feel everyday. I immediately feel the need to hide. I relapsed and started self-harming again, and when I try talking to my boyfriend about it, he doesn’t really comment or offer me much support.
My brother was really the only person I could vent to. He was the only person who completely understood what I was going through. His passing has made my loneliness feel much more intense.
Last year, I caught my boyfriend having an emotional affair. I have no idea if it were anything more than that. But ever since then, he’s felt like a stranger to me. I don’t feel comfortable around him anymore. There is not a single person on this planet I can just relax around and truly be myself. I feel stupid every time I try to joke around and act like my old self when around my boyfriend.
My boyfriend and I have been trying to mend things and improve our relationship. But I still feel conned. Our relationship feels like some type of cruel joke to me. You’d be wondering why I’m still even with him, and to be honest, it’s mainly because I feel worthless and that nobody would want to deal with someone who is mentally ill. I feel insane to admit that I fantasize about an imaginary boyfriend that I have just to cope lmao. I’m so hopelessly pathetic.
We play video games. We never play anything with each other. I have been trying to get him to play something with me for months. You know what he does? He finally downloads the game and plays it with his friends…After I told him that I wanted to start a new server and play from the beginning. He did invite me to play with him and his friends on their server…I did play with them one night. But he still plays with them and doesn’t really invite me.
I tried to talk to my bf about how that hurt my feelings, but of course I was dismissed because “you can play with us whenever you want to though.” I guess it was stupid of me to expect anything at all though lol. This small thing was the final straw and I give up.
I’m moving within the next month. I’m going to try to socialize more. I feel childish that the thing I crave the most is one good friend. Having someone randomly call or text me to hang out would make me feel like I’m worth something.
I have no shared cherished memories with anyone. But it’s so hard to make friends at my age.

2023.06.10 20:54 buiserymeansmisness How do I send a note/talk more to my aunt with cancer?
My aunt got diagnosed with I can't remember the name but I know it's a hormonal cancer that's been growing since her 20's and she's now in her 40's. It's spread all throughout her abdominal area.She has been through a roougghh time. I think she's almost died 4 times in the past year and a half. Lots of hospital visits, always on oxy for pain, barely able to eat, lost a ton of weight, can't get out anymore and live. It's horrible. Luckily her treatments are working and it's stopping her cancer from growing.
My relationship with her has basically been non existent because when I was 3 years old family drama went down she tried to adopt a baby because she couldn't have kids (probably from the cancer growing) and someone in my family said she wasn't a good fit to be a mother to the adoption agency honestly I don't see why she's an amazing person. But nobody would confess and she and my uncle moved away. I think I got to see my uncle maybe every 1-2 years, she wouldn't visit though. But sometime in 2018 both of them came up and I got to visit with them. I hadn't seen her since I was 3 then I was 20 and I knew she was my aunt but I had a hard time connecting because I'm terrible at social interaction lol. Then the next time I see her I'm 23 when I go to visit her and my uncle with my grandma to visit and help her out with the cancer.
Things didn't really go as planned like my grandma had wanted, we were basically just in their way. We thought we'd go and help out while my uncle was working but his job didn't have any work for him when he decided to go back. It had been a whole month that he'd gotten anything and they were worried they'd have to move and he'd have to get a new job. I didn't have a great time when I was there either, I deal with a long list of health issues myself and they were in full swing during the visit. One of those was the worst period of my life, I think being at higher elevation was making it bad. I was extremely tired, lost alot of blood, horrible cramps that made me almost pass out, muscle soreness, brain fog, depression, etc. It wasn't fun. Not only was that going on but my grandma was being horrible to me. As much as I appreciated her bringing me with her and paying for everything and obviously unconditionally love her, she's a narcissist. The whole trip as soon as a showed an inch of joy she got mad that I was having a good time and started bullying me, controlling everything I did like wouldn't let me eat in the car when I had a migraine and needed food, not letting me go the places I wanted to, telling me I couldn't watch shows with cuss words in it (as a 23yr old lmao), constantly telling me I was like my mom who she hates and telling me I was being dramatic and lazy like her. Telling me my aunt and uncle didn't want to see the things I was interested in showing them which was a lie, lied to me multiple times about her conversations with my aunt and uncle to try to guilt trip me into feeling bad about any movement I made. I wasn't in the best mood when I was visiting them. But here's the thing, I enjoyed the fuck out of my time with my aunt and uncle.
They are great people, and really made me feel welcomed. I got some one on one time with my uncle the most instead of my aunt. Him and I got to bond a few times when going to run errands, he got emotional and said I was his daughter, had a few deep talks about rough times they've gone through and he expressed how much he loves my aunt, got to hang out while he was working on his car. I didn't get much of that with my aunt and it makes me sad. I wanted to connect with her but my grandma was around her all the time and wasn't letting me be myself or else she'd use it as ammo against me. We watched tv together, had a few talks (with my grandma there), and my uncle, aunt, grandma, and I went to a national monument together. We didn't get to bond or have a connecting moment and it's eating me up inside. I want to send them a note each separately telling them one I appreciated them having me over, how much I enjoyed my time with them, how nice it was seeing their love for one another, and how much I felt welcomed and loved by them. I just don't know how to make the note personal to my aunt since we didn't get those connecting moments.
I also want to talk with them over the phone more I just don't know how to. One reason being I feel like my grandma talked bad about me to them and how I was acting and I'm afraid they see me different for who I am, and from what was said about me because this was really a first true impression. And second is I don't know how to talk to them especially around the cancer. Usually when you talk to people you ask how's life been, what've you been doing, etc. I know what they've been doing going through a rough freaking time. And I don't know if they want to talk about that. I also haven't been having much eventful things happening in my life with my health issues and living in a bad situation, I don't want to dump bad stuff going on with me to them.
What should I write to my aunt in my note since I didn't get the connection with her like I did with my uncle? And how should I go about talking with them over the phone? Do I not bring up the cancer at all or do I? And how should I let them know I enjoyed my time with them without bringing up my grandma. Thanks for reading <3.

2023.06.10 20:53 Grand-Earth2594 should artificial intelligence be used in education?
Introduction
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a rapidly growing field that has the potential to revolutionize the way we learn, work, and live. With the emergence of AI-powered tools, many educational institutions are questioning whether AI should be used in education. While some people view AI as a game-changer in education, others argue that it could potentially replace human teachers and have negative effects on student learning outcomes. In this article, we will explore the pros and cons of using AI in education and attempt to answer the question of whether we should use AI to enhance the learning experience.
Pros of using AI in education
One of the biggest advantages of using AI in education is that it provides personalized learning experiences. Traditional classrooms often prioritize a one-size-fits-all approach, but AI has the potential to change that. AI-powered tools can gather data on students' learning patterns and preferences, which can be used to create bespoke learning experiences. This means that each student can learn at their own pace and in a way that suits them, leading to better learning outcomes.
Another advantage of using AI in education is that it can help teachers save time. AI-powered tools can automate tasks such as grading, assigning homework, and providing feedback. This frees up teachers' time, allowing them to focus on more important tasks, such as providing personalized support to students. By automating repetitive tasks, AI can also help reduce teacher burnout, which is a growing problem in many educational institutions.
Cons of using AI in education
One of the main concerns about using AI in education is that it could replace human teachers. While AI has the potential to enhance the learning experience, it cannot replace the human touch that teachers bring to the classroom. Human teachers are able to build relationships with students, provide emotional support, and inspire students in ways that AI cannot replicate. If AI is used to replace human teachers, it could have negative effects on student learning outcomes.
Another concern about using AI in education is that it could perpetuate biases and inequalities. AI-powered tools learn from existing data, meaning that they can replicate biases that already exist in our society. For example, if an AI-powered tool is trained on data that is biased against certain groups of people, it could perpetuate those biases. This could lead to inequalities in education and exacerbate existing disparities. It is important that we are aware of these risks and take steps to mitigate them if we choose to use AI in education.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the question of whether we should use AI in education is a complex one. While there are many potential benefits to using AI, there are also risks that need to be considered. Ultimately, the decision of whether to use AI in education will depend on how we choose to balance these risks and benefits. It is important that we approach this question with caution and consider the potential impact of AI on our education systems and the individuals who use them.

2023.06.10 20:53 Alternative-Dust6286 How to not let people from the past impact in the future?
After class 10, I joined a new school. Being introverted my entire life I decided to change things this time. I started talking to more people. During this time, I fell in 'love' with a girl. Deciding to propose I did so and was rejected, being the first time I did something like this I insisted and ultimately she insulted me and blocked me. The next few months I did nothing, tried to forget it. But fate had other plans, things took a bad turn at home and my parents separated, my mother took me and we went to a rental house near the school, her home was also near the rental house. Deciding that perhaps this was a god given chance to rectify things I decided to perhaps be able to regain her as a friend. One of her friends lived in front of the rental home and I decided to form friends with her to get my message across. I also formed friends with her other friends to make her realise that I was sorry. Day after day. I did the same. Over time, I learnt things about her, that though she told me that she wasn't into relationships, she had actually been in one, with a guy three years her senior. Her friends also teased her and a guy she is close to(he is also a new student) as potential gf/bf. I don't know why inspite of learning that I decided to pursue her as a friend. The next few months I did all kinds of stupid stuff, all my life I had been very quiet about romantic interests, this time I freely told her friends in hopes that she will learn about how sorry I was through her friends, as I couldn't contact her as she had blocked me. I tried messaging from alternative number but she just saw it and blocked that number too. Ultimately, I realised something her friends who I thought had a good connection with me too were taking all the information from me and telling nothing what she said about me, they were mocking me behind my back. I felt sad and told about it to one of them. The next day both she (the girl I liked) and one of her friends was at my doorstep, saying they want to talk, my mother was at home so even she came to know everything, they both insulted me. I came to know everything then. One of the guys of the new school, who was friends with me even before I met her had told her that he would accompany her to "threaten" me (he was previously very friendly and had even given me a photograph of her ex), this was but one instance, everyone I thought of as a friend had seemed to abandon me, I came to know that most of them were only friendly because they needed something to gossip about. I could do nothing then for the next few days, till the end of examinations after which I moved to a new city.
After a couple months, I decided to call them out, sent messages to the girl, she still has the same arrogant tone telling that she and her friends are better than me. I blocked her as I felt I couldn't really say anything to her as lots of things were my fault. But her friend who acted friendly with me, I insulted her after some time(I will not lie, it was nothing bad but just saying that she wasn't as good a person as she thought herself to be) suddenly from stupid I turned to villan, her boyfriend called to threaten me and even the girl( who I had proposed to) had her father call me threatening to get me arrested because I had previously messaged his daughter so much previously. Ultimately, I sorted all things out but I deleted my WhatsApp account, broke my SIM and decided to move from that life.
Fast forward to a year later, now I feel broken, I know those guys insult me still, calling me all kinds of things, mad, stupid, love fool. I do not care what they think of me, their time in my life has passed. I am afraid that someday in the future they may end up joining the same college as me and they will ruin my reputation there too as they kept on spreading my gossip previously, I am afraid that this situation shall never leave my life and even people in my future shall judge me from my past, I know I did lots of weird things during that time and even a brief while after that and I can't write everything down in this post. But I don't want that incident to chase me my entire life. I don't want the future to be like the past and I don't know what to do.
TLDR; I proposed to a girl, did all kinds of shameful stupid shit to win her back as a friend even though she hardly thought of me as one. Now, because of all those stupid acts I lost reputation and was treated poorly and fear that even in the future people from the past will impact my college life.

2023.06.10 20:53 -anxious-potato- How is the Colombo House accommodation option at UNSW?
I'm looking at the single room with ensuite option - is it good? I'd love to hear from someone who is familiar with the stay - how are the amenities (especially kitchen and common areas), wifi and network, comfort, cleanliness, etc and is it like an apartment? + How's the safety situation and social life like. Is it worth applying for?
Thanks!

2023.06.10 20:53 PanchoBaker I'm hoping someone can tell me why I'm wrong about Jaay Brooks & Done??
TLDR: Why would Jay be willing to take such a hit to his "legacy"? what unknown unknown is he and his slime balls keeping from us? WCC
Long time listener first time caller here. With so many great things and story lines happening in the game of golf over the past two and half three years it's a shame Jay had to clousterfuuken it all up. He and he alone allowed for this all to happen and to get to the point it got to. He such a narcissistic sociopath that it's hard not to think that he thinks he's crushing it like 400y drives! I mean Rory said in his presser that Jay now runs golf... WTF How can he be the cause and the solution?? His admission of hypocrisy and Webster like display of such leads me to wonder why would he be willing to castrate himself like that? CEO of world golf could be one, money/power. I've heard convenient truth thrown around and wasn't it convenient for a Tuesday 10 am in Canada with a memo containing a monster 'red herring' in the way of the tax exempt status in the first paragraph?!?! Congress is actively talking about this and I can't help but think that plays perfectly into what/why/where/when and most importantly how this was announced??? I mean
Claude Harmon III calling it all the Truman Show was a lights on moment for me and the timing of this seems to perpetuate that thought. Jay and his quack out friend with whom should also be done must be singing Dixie right now with the pied pippers flute. I mean come on how dumb do you think we as fans of golf are? If nothing more I hope this post opens up some eyes to the truth. As to the PGeeJay Tour's (that's my vote for the new name) force feeding me the value of "legacy" is yet another wonderful example of hypocrisy and I think ultimately will be Jaay's legacy to the game. To me legacy is built on tradition (see ANGC ask for Jim) where you look back fondly with admiration on the hard work put in by those who came before you. Not always but generally through hard work or some form of merit one might get to join that tradition and still then a "legacy" is not guaranteed. Realizing no one person or thing is bigger than the foundation that was laid before you invokes a sense of integrity and accountability in that in order to not only maintain the tradition but to leave it better than you found it. That is legacy. It's actions steming from a place of good with good purpose and well intent. So for Jay to say and continue to talk about the tradition is the vomit leaving his soul
Oh wait there's more since I'm here and will probably never post again I would like publicly shame Jay for what he allowed to happen under his "watch" and the most egregious of which is what he did to our favorite uncle Phil. Here a question for who is the oldest major winner and when/where? It's not Jack at Augusta in '86? What do you mean?? Phil didn't even get to defend his title and with jays hard on for legacy what Phil did was incredible like awe inspiring especially now that brooks has 5 and likely 2 more coming this year (every now and again I get a whiff of a Brooks slam). It's Phil!! why am I suppose to hate him again Jay I keep forgetting?? Every year the open loves to remind us Turnberry and Watson's eluding Father time yet Phil actually does it and in instead of giving the what we can now only speculate what would have been the sweetest victory lap of all time we get crickets not to mention he doesn't even get the chance to defend. Horrible... The world however is horrible see "Brandon in Shambles" he'll fill you in on why you should care. I guess I don't because I just want to watch golf and cheer for people I like. Ok which brings me to my question and that is with the DOJ investigation and senator talking about 501(c) tax exempt status and how Norman is now apparently "getting what he deserves bc he's a dick and blah blah blah" how is everyone ok with this decently tacky smokescreen? For real how? And why is he willing to take this on the chin? And why now after all the lies and forced narrative? As rumsfeld said what unknown unknown's does Jay possess? Is it the power? Could it be the power bc his "legacy" is in one of those port-o-potties after a hard rain at hot humid us open, you know the one I'm taking about where you open the door and you are sheet everywhere.
I personally want nothing to do with his new tour so long as he has any part in it... bc Phil was right and long before I realized Phil (at that time I was still believing the Jay invoked PGA Tour narrative that Phil was evil now how associating with him was reputation suicide) was right I always kept coming back to why in the world would Phil of all people be doing this?? I'll never forgive Jay for making me feel that way and that's why he needs to hit the dust trail and head off into the sunset never to be seen or heard from again.
and I just needed somewhere to get all of this out and whew deep breath I feel better... Thanks Redditeers
I'll take my answer of air as the
theme song to CHiPs plays me out

2023.06.10 20:53 lardgoblin I think my mom has BPD but I’ll never have an actual answer
I finally opened up to my current therapist about my childhood and how it affected me and she confirmed that I was verbally and mentally abused by my mother. My father is very codependent on her due to his anxiety issues and leans on her to deliver news about how “they” feel towards me. She is essentially his “pit bull”. I’ve been doing a lot of reading about BPD parent-child relationships and its after effects on their children and I fit all of the bullet points. Sometimes she’s loving and caring and other times she goes for the jugular. I think that the best way to put it came from herself as she has said to me that “she loves me, but she doesn’t like me”. She didn’t have the best childhood: she grew up poor, her own mother was mentally and physically abusive towards her, and her younger sister got “special treatment” as she puts it. She passed down that pattern onto me. She denied it for years but a couple months ago she admitted to me that she did; however, she went right back to treating me the same way she always has. She is never able to admit fault and blames her outbursts as having a “big personality” that people either like or hate it. She’s an alcoholic and it took me a long time to realize that. My dad knows she is too and yet never does anything to fix it. One time I confronted her about it and she went ballistic on me. She blamed me for always being the victim and said that she’s not perfect and so on and so forth. As for the abuse, I was subjected to strange punishments throughout my entire childhood. For example, if I had panic attacks (I have GAD along with BP1 and PTSD) she would record them and threaten to show people in the future. I was often grounded for arbitrary things like giving attitude when I was a preteen like anyone middle-schooler does. One time, I missed the bus (and it was only time I missed the bus). She went out of her way to stay home from work to watch me clean the entire house for eight hours straight down to the baseboards. She is in therapy until a therapist tells her something she doesn’t like and then is out of therapy for a long time. She often tells me that I’m the reason she is in therapy because she doesn’t feel like I love her and blah blah blah. I’ve never felt loved by her either, I never felt like I could express my feelings as there is/was always a retort, I was shamed for having emotions and NOW when I do she always resorts to saying I’m manic or overdramatic. Ever since I moved out, she goes back and forth between saying it was a great decision to begging me to come home so she can “take care of me”. Regardless of what I do, she still feels the need to have total control over me and it’s affecting my current relationship with my partner. As a result of her turbulent behavior, I’ve never been able to love myself. I often feel shame when I have emotions and bottle it all in until it explodes. I lack self-identity, when people ask me about traits I would assign to myself, I’m unable to answer that question. I constantly feel lost in the world and unable to form my own opinions and am a people-pleaser to my core. I don’t feel like I have a personality, it’s just what I THINK people want me to be and it varies from person-to-person. I can’t decide on a career and I recently quit my job again as a result of my mental instability (mostly related to how she feels about me in any given moment). I have poor impulse control, especially with financials, and I feel like a failure. I brought it up to her and she gave me a back-handed apology as she said “Clearly we failed you. Somewhere in all the knowledge we tried to give you about how to be a responsible adult. We failed”. Anyways, I apologize for the long post. I want to know if there’s a possibility that she has it or I’ve been mistaken. Thanks for reading.

2023.06.10 20:53 -geek SPLITGATE is still fun..
I never was able to play this masterpiece of a game during it's week of hype because my computer was not up to par at the time, and theres no way I'm playing something like that on a controller.
So like everyone else did, I forgot about it very quickly. But throughout the time it came out till now I've never heard anything bad about the game. Not one thing. And everyone seems to be confused about how nobody plays it.
Crazy thing is, there is tons of people online on console, and it makes for a wonderful casual AND competitive experience. The game works, it's fairly balanced, and there are interesting concepts in terms of gamemodes and how the gameplay loop fares to the likes of halo or call of duty. The potential of a competitive scene in this game is close to counterstrike IMO.
The devs say they are working on another game, I hope it's just as good or even the same, I just pray they keep working on it. Because I can see so much for this game. It's been what I look forward to playing after work. The way you can go from playing super tactical picking people off one by one to rushing in at mach speed is truly exhilarating and takes me back to quake / UT days that I know many like myself look very fondly upon. The weapons are all great, feel good, and there are tons of free cool original cosmetics constantly fed to you.
This is definitely an S tier free to play game and shooter. If you are like me and slept on it, give it a shot. It's actually thriving still.
