2023.03.21 11:12 lemonpiespecial A messy, long yet quite interesting story of a very sad & lonely girl.

Trigger warning: grooming, narcissistic abuse.
I really wanted to share a little bit of my story cause I feel so overwhelmed and I do not know what to do with my life anymore. I'm so lost. And I've never felt lonelier.
I'm sitting at my computer after waking up with my "situationship'' person next to me (thats a whole another story, but we do have feelings for each other, yet we don't think we should be in a relationship together at this time in life). He asked me how I was this morning and I just burst into tears. I am not ok. That's all I could say and cry.
I took a sick leave from work because I can't motivate myself to work. I feel discardable and unimportant. I work in a very close knit office in a very specific company for 5 years, we are around 10 people in the office and I feel like my colleagues are not interested in me as a person. I feel so worthless and like nobody cares if I open my mouth to say anything. But I also don't care about being involved in the same old repetitive jokes, pretending I care about my colleague's child cause thats the only thing the conversation revolves around (and the same 5 stupid jokes that get repeated every single day). Now I can imagine you saying: well of course you feel like it, you get what you give .... However, would anyone care that I'm struggling daily with suicidal thoughts? Would they care I have found spirituality to search for purpose? Would they care that the salary I receive that 60-70% goes to bills and I can't afford to eat ? NO. As long as it's not small talk bullshit, they don't care or know how to respond. Yet, that's the main thing I'm concerned about. Not about their children's problems with their testicles (yes, the whole office knew that) or how another colleague is going shopping every week and planning her next trip to Italy cause she lives with her parents and can spend her money without paying the same amount of bills a single woman does living alone in the centre of the biggest city in the country (Eastern Europe). I've talked to my boss about a raise cause after 5 years, still living with less than a 1000 euro each month and the prices rising so much ... I can't live with that kind of money anymore. It's funny. All my boss says is: manage your finances better ...
In the past years I've lost most of my friends. My best friend was in love with the guy she set me up with (that's the situationship guy from the beginning) and around 10 months ago she said: "I can't look you in the eye anymore", cried how all she thinks about was the guy she set me up with and we came to a conclusion that this friendship is dead and she does not want to see me again. I said I'll wait for her cause I love her... and today is her birthday, she turns 28. We were best friends for 11 years and even got a stupid matching best friends tattoo back in the day. I still sleep with the teddy bear she gave me on my 19th birthday. When I found her in high school I thought finally ... a friend just for me. Our school mates thought we were lesbians. And we were a team for a while. But before her, for some reason, I've had difficulties to be and feel accepted in the friend group. Before high-school it was always a girl friend group who had a leader and the rest were her pawns. I got sick of being a soldier with no brain and I really wanted an equal part and respect with the whole group. Cause I thought and still think that I'm: real, honest, reliable & loyal af. All they saw was the friend who is not good enough cause I did not want to do always what they did, pursue the same stuff as them, be outside of the box they were putting themselves into. I always was that friend to start hating randomly... cause I let them? I'm not sure.
My family life ... I'd say my closest family is only my grandma and my cousin.. the two people i can actually be real with. I do have a mother, a stepdad and a half-brother 15 years younger. My mother is a covert narcissist. I do not know my biological father. I had a different dad growing up than my younger step-brother. I thought the dad that raised me was my biological father for a very long time until I found out all by myself at 9 y/o that my mother was married with another man that had my last name and voila! The dad that I thought was my real dad adopted me officially after he married my mom. His name is in my birth certificate. I only found that out when I was 20 (thanks again mom). My dad and my mom did not tell me they divorced when i was around 11 ... again, I found it out only by myself cause I was a curious kid. My mother changed boyfriends and then found my stepdad and to gain his house she had to give birth to a son... where my step-brother comes in. I was 15 y/o in the summer I got my step-brother ... and then at the end of the summer I lost my dad in a motorcycle crash. He was my buddy. The one who told me about his adventures on his bike while drinking a glass of light beer and playing cards. We watched movies, listened to music. He was really involved in forming who I am now. He was not perfect but I really felt the fatherly love from him. While my mom ... she only gave a shit when she got something out of me. That I got good grades, she boasted it was because she was smart. When I had my birthday, she celebrated her being so young and still looking so young cause she birthed me when she was 20. She wanted me to be her doll, looking perfect, with clothes she liked and she did not let me play around outside as a kid if I had the pretty clothes on. When I didn't do something she wanted to be done but she didn't ask nicely, just expected it to be done, she stood in the door frame of my tiny room screaming and shouting at me for 40 minutes straight and if i dared to even try to say something, just barely moving my mouth, I got yelled at louder and harder... and then I learned to disassociate. However, after my brother was in the picture, she just didn't give a shit about me as a child with needs. She stopped providing me with clothes and my grandma started helping... after that she said I looked ugly and that nobody would like me. She offered me (offered is a generous statement here, I had no choice) to pay to be a nanny for my brother my whole summer break from school. Yeah, I get it, I got some money, but you have to undertsand, she would give me such little pocket money, I could not even buy a decent lunch at school. I had to be alone with a 1/2 y/o for the whole summer. Every work day. When I should have been outside doing something with friends or making them in the least. People thought my younger brother was my son when I went out with him. Since those 2 summers I decided I will not have children of my own.
After those 2 summers I met my (now ex) boyfriend. We met on omegle (yikes) when I was 17 (yikes) and he ... was 27 (bigYikes). I was lonely, freshly without a dad, without good long-term friends, my parents paid no attention to me. I was drinking vodka with orange juice in my room alone while searching for friends online. Mostly they were men. But... context is important here. I was a very horny teenager. Like any guy is horny while being 16/17 ... this girl was a pedo's dream. I was very into Lolita aesthetic, I had just freshly read the book too. I'm not gonna lie, I was into older guys cause at that age, no boy who I liked and who was my age paid attention to me. I thought I was ugly. My parents didn't get me braces cause they were too expensive (yet my mom could buy fur coats and go to nice trips) and I felt very insecure with my smile. Yet ... one evening on omegle was what changed my life. I found a chat, the camera was off for him but on for me. He complimented my smile, how I looked. I never got that kind of attention. Then I found out we had our birthday on the same date which felt like a sign. Then we started skyping. After a week I saw his face. TBH, not the most handsome guy but it is not that important for me. He said he got jewellery for me. He also had a girlfriend from my country before which I thought was cool cause he knew the culture then. After a month of chatting and sexting he came to see me. I lied to my mom that I 'd be staying at my friends place for a weekend cause there was a party but I actually went to met him and we were staying at a hotel not too far from my home. The first thing we did was fuck. We did that the whole weekend with a few breaks of going to the movies, to eat and see the old town. After a month he offered me to go to him ... I explained the situation to my mom like this: I met someone, on the internet, he lives in West Europe and wants to invite me to visit. My parents agreed. Imagine that. My mother fucking sold me. At least that's how my grandma calls it. But you know, I didn't think like that when I was 17... I thought I was IN LOVE. But you know why my grandma said my mother sold me? My mother relied on HIM now to get me everything I'd need. Clothes, phones... etc etc. She gave me a symbolic 2 euro pocket money a few days in the week, how generous of her. You know, that's not even the best part yet ... because my dad had died and I was officially his child I got his pension but because I was not 18 y/o my mother got all the money and told me that only like 5 months before I turned 18. The pension was decent. Decent enough for me not to ask anyone for money anymore. Or start saving for university ... my mother spent it all until she decided to tell me she got the money since he had died. And for those few months I knew she could give me maybe 1/3rd of what she got. After I turned 18, I'd get it all then. Well, while she was trying to start a new family, her 17 y/o daughter was fucking a pedo. You gotta understand about me, when I was 17, I did not look like a young adult, I still looked pretty much like a child. I still got the chubby cheeks, I was very slender, barely any womanly features, natural hair. A dream for a guy like that. And the worst part is, I was completely under his spell. I thought finally I'm getting the life I thought I deserved. I saw so many countries and places I only ever dreamed of seeing as a poor Eastern European girl. I finally got that fatherly figure in my life who takes care of me. All of his friends were happy for him to be with such a young and cute girl. I finished high-school while planning going to universities where he lived. I got totally put in a trap where the only person important in my life was him. I worked very hard to arrange everything and to apply for those universities while my best friend, who I mentioned at the start, started ditching school and she partied and started working cause she was also not that well off and I spent my last year of high school basically all alone and later she blamed me for ditching her while I was living with him across Europe. I got into the university. He bought us a place to live between the city of my uni and his work. It was still 2h going in 1 direction 3-4 times a week. I was isolated from my course mates in university. I did not live with them. My only close friend there was him. Besides my bff who barely finished high-school I had no close friends at school. I had tops 2-4 other friends besides her. Rest of my year called me a weird lesbian for some reason. One guy even asked my BFF why I was so weird. I never understood why I was thought of as weird at school. Because I did not have rich/well off parents? Because I did not have the perfect smile? Because I was a bit introverted? I realise now as I am getting older maybe I am on the autism spectre and I do have some problems with maintaining eye-contact but I am not that far on the spectrum I'd say to be impaired really in my communication. Bu that is a side note to this all. I just got perceived as weird for some unexplained reasons. After being in a relationship with him ... a lot of bad stuff emerged. He was a compulsive liar. He chatted with his exes, with other girls he met online all over East-Europe. I found e-mails he sent to other women being signed "Love, forever yours" and said that's how he talks to his friends. The jewellery he got me at the start? He stole it from his mothers (or asked, I'm not sure what was right). He gaslit me to a point where I was paranoid I started snooping every single thing he owned. I checked his amex bills if he was not seeing other women, I saw he was registered in different dating apps. And the crown to this all is: A TEENAGE BOY HE TRAINED IN FOOTBALL ACCUSED HIM OF ASKING FOR SEXUAL FAVOURS IN EXCHANGE OF GOODS. It ruined his reputation, he got raided by the police, his family did not trust him anymore, he got shunned. And I stuck to him 100%, that's how blind I was. Of course I had my questions yet I trusted him so much cause I did not have anyone else. He got a court case, he got public service as a punishment cause they found a weird deleted pic on his computer (that is what he said to me). Furthermore, my friend told me he was chatting with her and her friends behind my back and told them to not tell me... And that was right before I had to move in with him to go to my university. I did it anyway. I did not finish the year in uni. I was burned out from the 4h spending every day in public transport, dealing with his emotional abuse and trying to do all of my uni work which was completely overwhelming. We even got into couples therapy cause I did not know how to trust him anymore. The therapist told me: D, you know what to do by now. And I did. I had to go back home.
That summer we drove back home. I drove back home to a mother who had sold the apartment that was supposed to be mine when i was 18 cause my dad who raised me bought it for my mother and later to be left for me. I had nothing. Just a room in my step-dads family house. He was not my family. However, my mother wanted me to feel that, I did not. I could not. I was too old for that. He knew we did not drive here just for a vacation. He knew that when he drove back alone and I did not come with him to spend more time back home, I would not return later. After 3 weeks of being home without him. I left him. I started to work as a barista. Finally, making some friends, starting new relationships. Doing what I should have been doing. Started to live with my BFF cause I could not stand my mother. I could not stand looking at her treating my brother like he deserved everything he wanted. I am still sick of looking how she coddles him and I am constantly reminded how she could have been like that with me but she just did not see me as a child that needs love from her.
For now, thank you for reading. I feel I lost my point a little. I just really really wanted to share something to the world from my life cause I sit here every day alone smoking too much weed and trying to cope. I do not know if that works anymore. I feel lost & aimless. If you have any questions about me and my life I'll gladly answer them. And I am sorry for the ramble but there is so much I still did not write here. Maybe one day my life will make an interesting book.

2023.03.21 11:09 QuirkyJay 48 (M4F) Once you get past my charm, good looks, intelligence and my sense of humour..

I think it's my modesty that stands out 😁
This is a lengthy post, it says a lot about the type of man i am, and what im looking for in a woman, so if you're looking for a short blunt paragraph of a post that screams 'quick fix', then im definitely not for you.
Reach out if you're from the UK, and around my age or older.
I'm just the bloke next door with grown up kids and a wife, on the surface we seem fine just like everyone else, but underneath things are sometimes far from perfect (im not here to badmouth my SO), i keep myself to myself as im the quiet type (apparently you have to watch out for the quiet one's), but im down to earth, easy to get on with and pretty laid back. I try not to take myself too seriously or worry about what people think or say (maybe that's an age thing), im definitely respectful and will always treat others how they treat me.
Things that i like: lazy mornings, people watching, the warm sun on my skin, fresh coffee, the smell of freshly cut grass, rum (spiced or dark), teasing, exploring castles and forests (not hiking), long drives in the countryside, 90's alternative music, cooking and trying new foods, psychological films, late nights and early lazy mornings, drawing/sketching, dogs
My bad points: over thinking, i have been called intense before, i can take things to heart.
But i make no apologies for being who i am, the older i get, i seem to care less about what people think or say these days. I'm more comfortable in my skin than ever before and i know what i like and what i dont like. I'm straight up honest and will say what's on my mind but at the same time, im empathic (sometimes it's a curse) and wear my heart on my sleeve. I'm prone to over thinking and sometimes worry about the little things in life, because the little things are actually really important (im like a full blown contradiction).
So, what do you get in return for reaching out? Well, im quietly confident and fairly intelligent, easy to get along with, inquisitive, down to earth and fairly laid back when in good company, im more of a glass half full kind of man, i love bringing positive vibes to the people i care about. I consider myself to be a gentleman, polite, courteous and emotionally grounded but also love a bit of banter and sarcasm, it makes for a fun conversation when you can bounce off each other. I'm 5'11 slim, short dark hair, hazel eyes and a short salt and pepper beard, in case physical appearance is important.
I tend to get on better with a lady who 'thinks outside of the box', who isn't constrained to convention, someone who can be sassy and can challenge me once in a while, but also has a warm heart, is her own person, free spirited with a dark sense of humour and who isn't afraid to just say what's on her mind.
I'm looking for a good woman who is just as open and honest as i am, where we can talk about anything and everything while we find out about each other's quirks (im sure we have plenty!), essentially we'll be building what we're missing, the 'desire' and the 'want', to be 'noticed' and 'heard' again. Yeah, im flirtatious (i know, who isn't?!) and i consider myself to be a bit of a tease but im totally respectful, saying that though, there maybe times where i could make your knickers wet while you're busy with your family (sorry, not sorry), and know that conversations are more important, the naughty things just add to it once a good foundation is formed.
Now for the chemistry, obviously the mental attraction is priority, after all, this is online, so the ability to communicate well is paramount. The physical attraction, no matter how you look at it, is still rather important. I look after myself (as well as I can) and would appreciate a woman who shares the same value, also a woman who might see herself as a 'plain Jane' with an average body, mum bod, then you'd most probably turn my head, because there's something about perfect imperfections, you know?
So, what do you say? Yes im also looking at you, lurking in the back, first time here? Not sure if im right for you, or if you're ready to reach out? Coming from an over thinker, id say try not to over think it, because this is just a conversation, but it could be so much more.

2023.03.21 11:09 GroundhogWeekend SV!

According to the dumb BMI system, I crossed a milestone today! I don't recommend using BMI for measuring health, much less self-worth, but I can still celebrate progress.
50M 6'1" SW 280 GW 210 CW 226
suck it, trebek
Fate fortuned me with a "rich uncle" who is taking the extended family on an amazing-to-me trip on July 1st. I'm aiming to hit my goal before then, but that means I need to lose 1.1lb/wk or better.
From when I started to about Xmas, my rate was well above that. Since then my rate has been well below.
yellow is bmi that I added for this post, green is my goal
But look on the bright side--maybe eating the local food will put me over the line.

2023.03.21 11:08 KingofSpain0 Leviticus 24

Leviticus 24:1-23
The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Command the Israelites to bring you clear oil of pressed olives for the light so that the lamps may be kept burning continually. 3 Outside the curtain that shields the ark of the covenant law in the tent of meeting, Aaron is to tend the lamps before the Lord from evening till morning, continually. This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come. 4 The lamps on the pure gold lampstand before the Lord must be tended continually.
5 “Take the finest flour and bake twelve loaves of bread, using two-tenths of an ephah for each loaf. 6 Arrange them in two stacks, six in each stack, on the table of pure gold before the Lord. 7 By each stack put some pure incense as a memorial portion to represent the bread and to be a food offering presented to the Lord. 8 This bread is to be set out before the Lord regularly, Sabbath after Sabbath, on behalf of the Israelites, as a lasting covenant. 9 It belongs to Aaron and his sons, who are to eat it in the sanctuary area, because it is a most holy part of their perpetual share of the food offerings presented to the Lord.”

10 Now the son of an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father went out among the Israelites, and a fight broke out in the camp between him and an Israelite. 11 The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name with a curse; so they brought him to Moses. (His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri the Danite.) 12 They put him in custody until the will of the Lord should be made clear to them.
13 Then the Lord said to Moses: 14 “Take the blasphemer outside the camp. All those who heard him are to lay their hands on his head, and the entire assembly is to stone him. 15 Say to the Israelites: ‘Anyone who curses their God will be held responsible; 16 anyone who blasphemes the name of the Lord is to be put to death. The entire assembly must stone them. Whether foreigner or native-born, when they blaspheme the Name they are to be put to death.
17 “‘Anyone who takes the life of a human being is to be put to death. 18 Anyone who takes the life of someone’s animal must make restitution—life for life. 19 Anyone who injures their neighbor is to be injured in the same manner: 20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. The one who has inflicted the injury must suffer the same injury. 21 Whoever kills an animal must make restitution, but whoever kills a human being is to be put to death. 22 You are to have the same law for the foreigner and the native-born. I am the Lord your God.’”
23 Then Moses spoke to the Israelites, and they took the blasphemer outside the camp and stoned him. The Israelites did as the Lord commanded Moses.

2023.03.21 11:08 Senior_Improvement93 My POSITIVE experience :)

Hey every one I’ve posted on here a few times for advice and help so just thought I’d update that it does get better (well has for me) it just takes time.
I have severe health anxiety that causes me to body check and repeatedly poke areas of the body. I was crying daily, shaking with fear, sense of doom, feared for my future, lost 2 stone as I couldn’t eat and was close to just giving up on my life.
I started on 20mg and I did have some bad symptoms. Nausea, couldn’t sleep, nightmares, lack of appetite, woke up in the morning with a fear so strong I couldn’t talk and the worst one for me was the increased anxiety and none stop crying. I was taking my tablet in the morning and decided to switch to night time to try and avoid these symptoms.
4 weeks I did 4 weeks on 20mg and felt no different apart from I physically couldn’t cry it’s like my tears dried up then towards week 5 I couldn’t stop crying so returned back to the doctors who decided we need to go to 40mg.
5 weeks I started to ease myself into 40mg by starting with a week of 30mg. At the start of the week I felt very emotional and was having regular panic attacks but towards the end of the week I was starting to feel a little lighter and my symptoms were gone except the urge to prod my body and night sweats/nightmares.
6 weeks My first week on 40mg has been good. I didn’t get symptoms again and I was still having bad days but they were every so often not everyday.
7 weeks I’m now feeling much lighter. I’m no where near back to normal but the intrusive thoughts have gone, morning anxiety lasts less, I can rationalise my thoughts and the urge to prod is significantly less. My appetite has returned and I feel like I’m living in the moment. I still get worried over things but I feel I give them time then move on and can still function.
I will come back and update as the weeks go on but I’m feeling so positive. In the beginning I didn’t think they was going to work!

2023.03.21 11:07 Novij_Polzovatel What happens if I build a base on the territory of Holy Nation?

What happens if I build a base on the territory of Holy Nation? Will I be allowed to build? Will there be any taxes? For example, I had to pay 4,000 kats per week from the United Cities, and the Trade Guild also asked for protection, in the Kingdom of Sheks, taxes were taken away from me with food, and will Paladins have taxes? (yes, I know, they take into slavery all inhumans who in your faction) What are the features of building a base in HN?

2023.03.21 11:07 qwertyplm1256 Not sure how address the fact that his dog’s attitude annoys me, without hurting him

I have been seeing this really nice guy for the past 3-4 months now. We never decided to be exclusive, we are just good fwb, see each other almost every day, and spend a lot of time together at his place, bars, gym, outdoors etc. I also know I will never want anything serious with him and I am moving to another state in august.
Anyways he has a dog. And that dog eats everything that she sees. Last week we had to take her to ER because she ate his THC from one of the counters.
I used to not care until it reached a point that his place became a total mess. And I don’t think it used to be like this 4 months ago. I am not sure how I feel anymore about him putting her in bed right after she did her stuff/ had her food. Plus he doesn’t do his sheets that often.
On top, she just ate my favorite shoe (pretty expensive) that I put on top! It wasn’t on a floor. And all my guy said was “sorry”. He lets her eat everything and let’s everything to slide :(
I am at a point that idk how I feel about coming over anymore. It’s annoying that she always bites me to play (it’s painful and it stinks especially after I shower). Idk how to address this whole situation: I don’t want to hurt him but I feel like by saying nothing I almost agree that it’s ok.

2023.03.21 11:04 MuraMisaa Are Semen Retention benefits even real?

So i aint gonna be taking time to write this post so dont mind the random stuff
1: On semen retention, girls wont be attracted to you if you are inconfident, girls cant sense shit lmfao, tbh you should not even be expecting girls if you are serious about semen retention and you ahould go for atleast a year to fully heal your brain and get your reward system healed so you can enjoy even the smallest of things
2: If porn and nofap is not the cause of your social anxiety/lack of confidence then semen retention won't cure it, if its because of your upbringing then you gotta fix it yourself. Keep coping that yeh im feeling confident, this and that, but nothing major will change unless you go out there, even coomers can have more confidence than those on sr bcuz confidence is a practice lmfao, saving ur seeds does help but not much depending on your root issue
3: Do semen retention to heal your erectile dysfunction so you dont have to get embarassed when you finally have sex, people be expected semen retention yo miracously heal all your life problems🤡😂, like look here coomer, all that luck and stuff people get is not a guaranteed that you will get them as well, more coincidences, synchronocity (lmfao wrong spelling), tbh those expects r more related to.law.of attraction/assumption and only get magnified by feedback loop, its like this ( something happens, you dont know why it happened so u say its bcuz of sr(u just assumed good thing happens when ur on sr) this is what basically law of assumotion is, which people use unconciously ), Semen retention can really increase your vibrations but if accompanied with other good habits
4: you can eat meat you want, dont listen to those gurus on youtube, eating animal and u get negative emotions inside you, drink milk as well, eat onions and garlic as well, they does increase your sexual energy and well is that not the aim here? We r trying to recover as fast as possible, when the body get healthy, the brain will heal faster, afterall healthy mind resides in a healthy body, try to eat natural food tho instead of supplements, just eat lemon, dates, apples, bananas, oranges whatever fruits there r, fruits and vegetables r good for micro nutrients and for protein and zinc, eat red meat
5: other habits which you should add to your retention journey 1- sleep: semen retention wont improve your sleep🤡🤡, i alr asked many of my friends who coom once in 2 weeks or a month, their sleep is just like everybody else, same emergy levels as other( dont ask me how do i know its same like everybody else lol its just a assumption but good one), to improve sleep either dont use phone/laptop/bluelight devices one hour before bed or meditate 20 mins before bed, doing later will make your brain go into alpha wave state and its easier to slip into deeper sleep from there rather than being in high beta bcuz of constant stimulation from social medias, blue light also fk up ur cycle from what i read, it makes ur brain believes its not night yet etc etc and reduces/disturbs melonin production or whatever its called 2- exercise because its your birth right🤡, So exercises increase grey matter(grey matter in your frontal lobe(imp for decision making) improves your decision making, and it heals naturally after stopping pmo but literally so many thing which can do improve this) Bdnf makes your brain flexible and it will heal faster from the abuse, so do hiit, u can go to gym but gym is good only for testosterone that too depend on ur diet lol, i prefer that you do hiit and body weight exercises
3- meditation: 1- improves focus/awareness ( in long term) 2- since it improves awareness it can help you stay in present moment 3- stops mind chattering (instant/at hand benefits) just meditate for 3-5 mins and your brain will calm down for sometime atleast, thats why if overthinking ruins your nightsleep then meditation can help
4- yoga 1- good for improving energetic flow in body ( No stuck energy = no horniness bcuz of stuck energy and better energy ofc) 2- flexible body 3- improved blood flow, relaxes nerves etc
Idk what i wanted to say in this post but whatever lol, i discovered semen retention 4 years ago, my longest streak is 9 months and right now i am on around 2 months streak, i am 20 and still sorting out my life which i fked up myself🤡
Semen retentiom did alot of for me but it didnot do that which i needed to do for myself, mfs be mad about having flatline which is well you do experience flat line, its needed for repairing and resetting but it clearly shows that they r dependent on semen retention to change their life outta their ass
Recently this guy said he got good attraction during early months but now hes depressed lmfao, nvm thats it

2023.03.21 11:04 DarkestElf22 Multiple servers so that there's less whales.

Hypixel Skyblock has been going on for almost 4 years and entering the game from an older account or even making a new one to try again becomes increasingly daunting. My suggestion is for there to be multiple servers where auctions and bazaars are separate and there is less of a time frame difference between the newest and oldest players. This wouldn't be a wipe of the older save either just an addition to the game.
Comment thoughts?

2023.03.21 11:03 vanillaroses_20 what’s your thoughts on this?

i got my bachelor degree in a government-owned college, which badly deflated all of the students score. the highest GPA of the alumni is 3.7, while ~80% of students get less than 3.3 GPA. with the scale of 4.0
this college is in a southeast asian country. as an alumni, i find it sooo hard to get into master’s degree program in the US, because my school is not recognized and has deflated GPA. what should i do? should i retake a bachelor degree? should i just get into any master program that want to admit me? my long term goal is to be a researcher in a uni

Semiconductor Stocks are on the move.....Industry group chart as of 3/17 at bottom of post
Semiconductor Stocks are on the move.....actually they have been on the move for some time and are now at the top....but for how long? The Fabless industry group has quickly ascended to the #2 of 197 industry groups as seen on the industry ranking chart at bottom of this post. I posted this for one of our members on his Discord channel because he had expressed interest in shorting certain stocks in the group a month or two ago....I suggested he reconsider for the group was making a strong move up. Now that they are at the top....shorting would be a lot less risky. But I prefer (and have to use in retirement accounts) to use Bear ETFs for betting against stocks or groups of stocks and SOXS fits that bill for me. I am not buying yet but may start adding small lots ($18+ / share with a 52-week high of $89.50) while we watch and see how well NVidia & AMD and others continue performing. And don't get me wrong....there are some semiconductor stocks that I will remain long in and continue reducing cost basis on - Mobileye is one of those. Here is a thorough assessment on these stocks for your review:
Semiconductor Stocks Climb Yet Inventories Bedevil Chip Industry; A Reality Check May Be Coming
FacebookTwitterLinkedInShare Licensing
PATRICK SEITZ03:32 PM ET 03/15/2023
Semiconductor stocks were a godsend to investors in February as the overall market backed off from January's advance. After a strong first month of the year, chipmakers scored more gains. That was especially true for the fabless semiconductor industry, which rose another 6.3% on strength in stocks like Nvidia (NVDA), Monolithic Power Systems (MPWR) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD).

X
Yet during that same period, as chipmakers reported December-quarter earnings, a raft of data on shipments, prices and inventories showed the semiconductor industry still in a downturn.

Cyclical investors, those practiced at speculating on semiconductor stocks' reversal from their deep, periodic downturns, were betting on a bottom.

Old Industry Cycle, New Twist
But this cycle from the start has been unlike others in a long history of semiconductor industry booms and busts. The cycle made its way through the pandemic years of distorted demand trends and knotted supply chains. Then, as cyclical investors moved into many top stocks, leading them to flash early signs of an upturn, another factor also came into play. Another sort of optimism, fueled by views that increasingly diverse end markets signaled a more durable, stable chip industry, also helped bolster the upturn.

Among fabless chip stocks, Nvidia surged more than 58% for the year through February. Monolithic Power rallied 37%. Among chip manufacturers, ON Semiconductor (ON), more commonly known as Onsemi, and STMicroelectronics (STM) surged 24% and 50%, respectively.


Some semiconductor stocks continue to climb. Still, an array of fundamental chip industry metrics point to difficulties ahead. In particular, many semiconductor companies report stubbornly high inventories in their sales channels and with customers. A large segment of analysts accustomed to assessing chip cycles say investors who put the bottom in semiconductor stocks at the end of 2022 might be prematurely optimistic.

"If you listen to all the (earnings) calls, no one has said that this is the bottom or that it's definitely going to get better soon," Robert Maire, an analyst with consulting firm Semiconductor Advisors, told IBD.

Pandemic Disrupted Semiconductor Industry Cycle
One thing is certainly true: The semiconductor industry's end markets are more diverse now than during past chip cycles. The determining factor in prior booms and busts was personal computer and smartphone sales. Now computer chips have made their way into many more devices. This lessens the industry's dependence on any one major product type.

The present chip cycle shows memory chips, PC processors and chips for smartphones and consumer electronics clearly in a downturn. At the same time, chip sales in automotive and industrial markets have remained strong.

But overall, the wild swings in demand for tech products during the Covid-19 pandemic have led to a steeper-than-usual down cycle, Semiconductor Advisors' Maire says.

"The industry got whipsawed by Covid and the supply chain issues," Maire said. "We went from a shortage to an excess in a pretty short span of time."

Semiconductor Stocks: Industry Recovery In Late 2023?
A clear risk factor for rising chip stocks is that the semiconductor industry still must reconcile its bloated inventories, Jefferies analyst Christopher Wood said in a recent note to clients. He warned of a "coming chip glut."

"The market action is assuming, heroically, a bottoming out of the semiconductor inventory correction in the first half of this year and a presumed recovery in demand in the second half, of which there is for now no evidence," Wood said.

Wall Street analysts generally expect sales in the broader chip market to turn positive in the second half of 2023. Many see PC chip sales as among the first segments that will turn around. That should help chipmakers AMD and its archrival Intel (INTC).

It is also possible, however, that the "orgy" of pandemic buying of PCs in 2020 and 2021 could also depress demand for three to four years, Wood says. Smartphone sales face a similar possibility, he says.

"Meanwhile, chips used in the auto sector are now seeing a big surge in inventory," Wood said. "The previous shortage of automotive chips has led to substantial double ordering."

Analysts see AMD sales and earnings falling through the first two quarters, then turning higher, according to FactSet. Intel is expected to shift from loss to profit in Q3 and post an earnings gain as sales edge higher in Q4.

World Semiconductor Trade Statistics forecasts a 4.1% decline in semiconductor sales in all of 2023. Sales rose 4.4% in 2022 and surged 26.2% in 2021.

Artificial Intelligence Spurs Semiconductor Industry Investments
Among the markets for more advanced chips, the data center market, tied to web services and cloud computing providers, is showing some signs of weakness. One clear exception is the portion of that market tied to artificial intelligence, especially graphics processors.

Excitement around generative AI applications, such as ChatGPT, has provided a lift for certain semiconductor stocks seen as beneficiaries of the trend.

Nvidia leads that group with its graphics processing units, accelerators, high-performance computing hardware and software. Other chip stocks likely to benefit include Broadcom (AVGO) for its application-specific integrated circuits and Marvell Technology (MRVL) for its high-speed networking and ASIC chips.

As a result, Broadcom earnings and sales have powered ahead, paying little mind to the pandemic's potholes. For Marvell, analysts see sales and earnings declines for the first three quarters this year, turning to narrow gains in the fourth quarter.

"There is a clear shift in spending priorities (by cloud service providers) to AI and technical infrastructure," Jefferies analyst Mark Lipacis said in a recent note to clients. "We view Nvidia as the biggest beneficiary of the shift in spend to AI, and Broadcom and Marvell as beneficiaries in networking upgrades and semi-custom chips."

Downturn In Memory Chips
Like the prior chip cycle downturn, which lasted from late 2018 until early 2020, memory-chip makers have led the current correction. Micron Technology (MU) and other memory-chip makers started warning about weakness in the market in mid-2022.

The big wrinkle with this cycle in semiconductor stocks is the disruption caused by the Covid pandemic. As the pandemic got underway in early 2020, work-from-home and remote education trends fueled a buying binge in PCs and tablets. Consumers also splurged on consumer electronics and home appliances as they sheltered in place.

Then pandemic fears faded and the economy reopened. Consumers shifted their spending away from electronics. Analysts now project Micron will book losses in all four quarters of this fiscal year, dropping for the year to an estimated $2.20 loss per share, vs. an $8.35 profit for 2022.

Sales are forecast to turn up in the quarter ending in September, with the company shifting from loss to profit in the December-ending quarter.

Automakers Still Dealing With Chip Shortages
Automakers faced a severe shortage of chips during the pandemic. It was the result of a two-step process: first, they canceled orders ahead of a projected falloff in demand for new cars and trucks. But demand held steady. When carmakers went to place new orders, they found themselves at the back of the line at chip foundries. Only recently have the auto chip shortages started to ease.

In general, automakers use older chip technology. The semiconductor industry's production capacity for those chips is more limited than for higher-margin, leading-edge chips, such as those made by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM).

Semiconductor companies serving the auto market include Onsemi and STMicroelectronics, as well as NXP Semiconductors (NXPI) and Texas Instruments (TXN).

But across all of those segments of the chip landscape, unpredictable consumer behavior and knotted supply chains altered the traditional chip-cycle metrics.

"Covid threw a wrench into the cycle," Bill Jewell, a consultant with Semiconductor Intelligence, told IBD.

Factories shut down at the start of the pandemic and then reopened to chase a rapid acceleration in demand for PCs and other devices. Then consumers, after they had what they needed, stopped buying, Jewell says.

"PCs and smartphones account for so much of semiconductor consumption, especially memory, that when those slow down, it has a big impact on the market," Jewell said. "Automotive and industrial markets are holding up but they are not as big as the personal computer and smartphone markets."

For this year, analysts see STMicroelectronics earnings rising in Q1 and Q2 before undercutting year-ago levels. Sales and earnings forecasts for Onsemi, NXP and Texas Instruments are lower throughout the year.

Semiconductor Stocks Vs. 'Trough-Calling Euphoria'
Deutsche Bank analyst Ross Seymore sees the semiconductor industry situation as a hangover from pandemic disruptions.

"After about two years of semiconductor shortages resulting in a revenue/margin 'party' for the sector, the sector's fundamentals have pivoted to the 'hangover' stage," Seymore said in a recent note to clients. The hangover is illustrated by chipmakers lowering their revenue and earnings estimates for the past two quarters in the face of record-high inventories, he said.

Chip Stocks To Watch And Semiconductor Industry News

Investors observing the recent weak earnings reports now anticipate a trough in the first half of 2023 and a fundamental recovery in the second half of the year, Seymore said. That optimism reflects in this year's rise of the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index, or SOX.

Year to date, the SOX is up 15.5% vs. a 1.6% rise for the S&P 500. The SOX includes the 30 largest chip stocks traded in the U.S.

"While we've seen this cyclical investing 'playbook' used successfully many times in the past, we also note that the timing and slope of the eventual recovery quickly becomes paramount once the trough-calling euphoria subsides," Seymore said.

He added, "We remain somewhat concerned that the magnitude of inventory builds coupled with still mediocre demand may limit the slope of the revenue, margin and EPS (earnings per share) recovery — even if first-half 2023 is indeed the bottom."

Chip Inventories Hit Record Highs
Aggregate inventory data across 26 of the largest semiconductor companies shows that inventories in the fourth quarter reached their highest levels since Deutsche Bank began collecting such data in 1994, Seymore said.

"The industry has finally entered the hangover stage, with the primary concerns going forward focused on the duration/magnitude of the headache, and equally importantly the timing/slope of the eventual recovery," Seymore said.

With such a cautious outlook, Seymore is focused on semiconductor stocks with reasonable valuations and company-specific catalysts. His favorite names include Broadcom, Marvell, MaxLinear (MXL), NXP Semi, Onsemi and Qualcomm (QCOM).

Auto Chip Stocks Remain Strong Segment
Meanwhile, demand for automotive chips should continue to hold up in 2023, buoying companies like Allegro MicroSystems (ALGM) and NXP, Wells Fargo analyst Gary Mobley said in a recent note to clients.

Production constraints caused by chip shortages hindered automobile sales for more than two years. And there remains a pent-up demand for new vehicles, Mobley said.

Plus, automotive-chip makers are benefiting from increased semiconductor content in each vehicle. That is thanks to the trends of electrification and autonomy, he said.

"As long as light vehicle unit production continues to improve toward normalized levels, higher (chip) inventories are needed," Mobley said.

FactSet consensus estimates show earnings gains for Allegro over the next thee quarters before slowing. Sales gains are forecast for the next five quarters.

'Soft Landing' For Semiconductor Stocks?
Most analysts are predicting a rolling recovery with some segments turning positive earlier than others.

Evercore ISI analyst C.J. Muse has forecast a "soft landing" for chip stocks and the semiconductor industry rather than a harsh downturn. Also, the reopening of the China economy should help with the recovery, he said in a note to clients.

Daniel Morgan, senior portfolio manager at Synovus Trust, underscored that the health of the semiconductor industry is a key barometer for the overall tech sector.

"The semiconductor sector is the plankton of the technology and manufacturing ocean," Morgan said in a recent note to clients. "Everything requires chips in it to run. Typically, the chip sector will lead the technology sector out of the valley and will be one of the first sectors to show green sprouts foreshadowing a pending recovery."

But Morgan added, "At this point there are few signs of a rebound."

And the upshot for investors in semiconductor stocks? The downtrend in the chip cycle started in the third quarter of 2022. It could persist for six quarters, similar to the 2018-2019 downturn, Morgan said.

2023.03.21 11:00 glowmyup_nl Formatting is taking ages

So i have an external ssd, of 2tb. I'm formatting it, because the ssd keeps corrupting files, and the cksdkd or something command wouldnt work, even after i ran it multiple times (i did use the /f command). I first did quick formatting, but then i read online that that isnt for fixing corruption. And i read that the normal formatting for a 2tb ssd could take half a day. Half a day later, and the progressbar doesnt even show 20% yet. Did i fo something stupid? Is the progressbar lying? Is it really gonna take like 4 days?
tl;dr Formatting corrupted 2tb external ssd has taken over 12 hours for less than 20%. Why, and what to do?
Note: quick formatting only took 2 seconds

2023.03.21 10:59 thespuzz GameFi project Gala files $28M lawsuit against pNetwork

On March 20, GameFi project Gala Games announced it had recently filed a lawsuit against pNetwork, the cross-chain interoperability bridge used by Gala on the BNB Smart Chain. In November 2022, Gala Games was exploited after an unauthorized wallet address minted over $2 billion in GALA (GALA) and dumped the tokens on PancakeSwap, draining $4.5 million from the liquidity pool and causing a substantial plunge in GALA’s token price.
The lawsuit alleges that the incident was the result of “negligence and tortious interference” from pNetwork. On Nov. 7, 2022, blockchain analytics platform SlowMist alleged that the incident may have stemmed from a plain text private key leak in one of three pNetwork affiliated smart contracts on Gala. The leaked private key, as told by SlowMist, was publicly viewable on GitHub.
“The lawsuit states that (i) pNetwork admitted that it mistakenly leaked a governance key when deploying this pGALA bridge, which such key was later used by an attacker to breach the pGALA contract on the BNB chain.”
In a statement to Cointelegraph, a representative for pNetwork stated:
“As the pNetwork team, we would like to express our genuine surprise and concern upon hearing the recent announcement by the GALA Games Project to sue pNetwork. We would like to clarify that, three months ago, we had already submitted a comprehensive report to the Swiss authorities detailing the entire incident.”
The representative said the report includes full conversations and relevant documentation and alleged that the Gala Games team deleted messages in “their role in planning, supporting, and communicating the so-called white hat intervention.” PNetwork reiterated: “We have been fully transparent and cooperative with the authorities in this matter, and we firmly believe that the truth will come to light.” Shortly after the incident, pNetwork claimed that its activity during the exploit was a “white hat move.” The statement has been challenged by cryptocurrency exchange Huobi Global.
Gala Games claims the alleged breach led to over $25 million in damages and is seeking $27.7 million from pNetwork for “out-of-pocket costs due to the breach, additional compensation for injuries, punitive damages and other relief.”

“In the event that the suit succeeds, Gala has stated that any damages, less legal fees, will be converted to $GALA and burned. Gala is also aware of the damage that pNetwork’s actions caused many other third-parties, and invites these other injured parties to contact the legal team.”
In a post-mortem analysis dated Nov. 5, 2022, pNetwork stated that a “misconfiguration of the pNetwork-powered bridge for the GALA token” was noticed by the developer team and that “the ownership of the pGALA smart contract (deployed on BSC) had been covertly taken over due to the misconfiguration”:
“Loss of ownership over the token smart contract opens up the possibility for the attacker to mint new tokens and to alter pGALA at will.”
Furthermore, pNetwork wrote:
”No hack was actually performed by whomever currently retains ownership of that smart contract (from now on, the ‘attacker’), but the situation highlighted a high security risk that had to be promptly mitigated.“
Gala also alleged that on Nov. 5, 2022, pNetwork devised a plan to return in full “the BNB assets collected from the whitehat draining of the pool” but allegedly did not proceed with the plan in a follow-up on Nov. 11, 2022. In a Telegram post, pNetwork said the first part of its recovery plan involving GALA tokens “has been completed” but the second part involving BNB (BNB) tokens “is still on hold.”
“We had a first meeting with the Swiss authorities (‘Ministero Pubblico’ of Lugano, Switzerland) to discuss the incident on February 8th. The discussion is still ongoing and we expect some progress to be made in the coming weeks.”
