2023.03.26 08:35 Kevin_B_Ornellas Science Confirms the Existence of God. Here's strong evidence.

Greetings everyone!
I encourage everyone to share this post.
Overview
Rather than there being deep irreconcilable contradictions existing between the Bible and scientific truth, modern science demonstrates beyond a reasonable doubt the existence of the God of the Bible. Religious scholars simply misunderstood one reference in one verse. When their misunderstanding is corrected and a proper understanding of the key verse is given, the Biblical account and the scientific account align. The Bible gave the correct times for scientific events far before the advent of modern science and the evidence stands for all time that the God of the Bible factually exists.
So I will cover the correct time from Scripture; That 1 Day in Genesis is equal to about 365,000,000 human years. And Since God distinguishes between Day and Night as separate, the a Night in Genesis is equal to about 365,000,000 human years as well.
The Model
The model consists of 14 units of time: one unit for each of the 7 Days, and one unit for each of the 7 Nights. Each unit is 365,000,000 about human years long. The total time of the model is 5.11 billion years. The model begins 5.11 billion years ago. I treat the model as ending at Adam and Eve’s exit from the Garden Eden 6,000 to 10,000 years ago. The model starts with a Night, so Night One goes first, then Day One, then Night Two, then Day Two, etc. Note that 'Day' or daytime encompasses the daylight hours in the understanding from Jesus (John 11:9), and Night makes up the remaining period.
" Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any one walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world." (John's Gospel 11:9, RSV)
![img](lp0eei18n0qa1 "Picture of the model timeline back by the Bible. ")
Validly extracting 1 Day of the Lord's Time from Scripture being equal to 365,000,000 human years Someone might ask, "Hey, where do you get the 365,000,000 human years for One Day in Genesis?"
From a verse from Saint Peter's Second Letter, which is the verse 2Peter 3:8.
Here is the verse.
“But do not forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” (2Peter 3:8, New Heart English Bible)
The Incorrect Understanding of 2Peter 3:8
The mistake that has been made for many years comes from thinking that 1 Day of the Lord's Time is equal to a thousand years of human time, and the end of the sentence's 'one day' is referring to the previously mentioned 'one day is with the Lord'.
The Correct Understanding of 2Peter 3:8
In contrast to the above misunderstanding, the end of the sentence's 'one day' is NOT referring to 'one day is with the Lord'. Instead, the 'one day' at the end of the sentence is referring to the first mention of 'as a thousand years', that is one day of THOSE thousand years.
Thus, there are three timescales involved in the verse. I call this third timescale 'Heaven' time. So involved within the verse there is 1 Day of the Lord's Time, 1000 years in Heaven time, 1000 human years, and 1 Day in Heaven time.
Picture with notes for 2Peter 3:8 to aid the reader.
Since there are (about) 365 days in a year, we can draw the relaxation from Heaven Time as well. Since means we have three equations, 1 Day of the Lord's Time resolves to 365,000,000 human years.
Equation 1 from first part of 2Peter 3:8, Equation 2 from second part of 2Peter 3:8, Equation 3 from there being about 365 days in a year
Here is the calculation showing that 1 Day of the Lord's Time is equal to 365,000,000 human years visually.
1 Day of the Lord's Time into human years
The Strong Evidence: The Scriptures giving the correct times for scientific reference events before modern scientific instrumentation existed!
As can be seen, the alignment is strong between the Biblical timeline as calculated based on 2Peter 3:8 and its account, and the scientific determination of time for the referred to events.

How did the Genesis Writer and Saint Peter know? By divine insight, which means that God exists! So the Bible gave the right times, and God exists when the science is weighed.

2023.03.26 08:35 Working-Unit6024 You got rejected. Get over it.

  1. ADCOMs don’t owe you anything,
  2. private schools know more than a 28 year old on how they should recruit minorities to have short-term and long-term impact on their bottom line,
  3. there is always someone more and less qualified than you,
  4. you’ll continue to get rejected in life,
  5. learn what didn’t work and try again or move on.
The solution is not to complain, be racist or present straw man arguments no one gives a shit about.

2023.03.26 08:35 sharks212 Have 2 different career paths to go down, any guidance or wisdom or thoughts?

I’m (21F) about to graduate from undergrad and the plan was always to get my phd in clinical psych. for those who don’t know, it’s pretty much impossible to get into a program without a post baccalaureate full time research job, which are 2 year long positions that are notoriously underpaid. i’ve done research throughout undergrad so i’m a competitive applicant and have gotten a lot of interviews for research jobs. the most promising one is at a hospital in queens NY for $45k starting in june.
i always thought this path was my passion and my intended career but lately i’ve gotten pretty anti capitalistic and just want to leave the system, get any job to make enough money to allow me to travel, do things i enjoy, and have financial freedom. i’ve been rejecting the notion that your career has to be your dream, i feel like a job can just be a job for money as long as you don’t hate it.
i’m currently working as a part time contractor at a tech start up that’s related to psychology. they can most likely hire me full time in may or june, and all full time workers get a guaranteed starting salary of $70k. it’s not a guarantee that they’ll hire me but it seems really likely based on my meetings with my boss, and even if not immediately, i still make $30+ an hour as a contractor until then. not to mention it’s fully remote so i’ll have so much freedom to do things i want like travel etc. it’s a start up so it may not be the most stable or long term career plan, but the experience can set me up to get other jobs in the industry.
obviously that job is way more enticing than the $45k research job for 2 years, which (if i even get into grad school after) leads to 5-6 years of being broke as a phd student. the idea of being a doctor and helping people is amazing to think about, but the 8 year long road kinda ruins it for me. my mom is adamant about wanting me to be a doctor and pursue higher education as that’s her measure of success, and basically said she’d be disappointed in me if i don’t. it feels like she’d only be proud if i went this route and she’s sacrificed so much for me so i want to make her proud, but idk if it’s what i want.
i was thinking i can take the remote high paying job if offered it, and after a year i can always reassess and go back to the research job/phd route. but i know it’ll be harder to go back compared to just starting now. i’m scared of having regrets and being unfulfilled in the future and wishing i had done more with my career and not sold out for the money. idk if i’m abandoning my dream and passion, or if i’ve just grown up and am in the real world so my goals have changed. i’m only 21, it seems so overwhelming to commit to grad school now when i won’t even finish until i’m 28-29. have i lost my passion and drive? am i just burned out right now? was it never my true passion? how do all these people follow their passions and go to school for so long? am i not cut out for it? or do i just need to stay true and do it? i’ve done so much to set myself up for this specific path. but looking back, idk if i necessarily enjoyed doing research. it felt good to feel accomplished but idk if it’s what i want to do forever? ugh.
i’m just so torn and don’t know what i want. short term, the remote job sounds amazing, long term, being a doctor sounds amazing. but it’s like i only want that end goal, the 8 years until then don’t seem so enjoyable. i’ll feel proud that i’m doing it and making a difference, but honestly, 5-6 more years of school sounds like hell. and i could have regrets that way too, i could regret not taking the remote job and having money and freedom. i’m so back and forth i’m going crazy!

2023.03.26 08:35 onlypositivethots I think I had a psychotic episode while seshing with a friend

A couple months ago I was seshing with a friend and I started to freak the fuck out. Honestly, it's on me for even thinking of smoking cause I was dealing with a lot of stress due to shitty circumstances. I just thought it would be alright and the weed would boost my mood.
The episode started with a mild panic attack that became increasingly overwhelming, I started hearing auditory hallucinations that in the moment I thought was a demon and I genuinely felt like I was seeing my life flashing before my eyes. I started to blame myself for what was happening in the world. (We smoked in a park which was a horrible idea, there was an accident a couple suburbs away and multiple ambulance sirens were going off which probably just worsened what I was feeling). I was reliving traumas in my life that I either forgot or stuffed away in the back of my mind. I felt that the world was meaningless and I had no purpose being here. But I was connecting significant meaning behind events that were very normal I just didn't realise and thought I was a genius. It was weird at points I just wanted to jump off a cliff to stop the thoughts but at other points I thought I was the chosen one and figured out the secrets of the world, LOL. It went on for a while maybe a couple hours, my friend wasn't sure if he should call the ambulance or not and I really did not want him to. Weed is illegal where I live and I'm pretty young, I didn't want to deal with the repercussions and honestly I'd be embarrassed for the rest of my life if I went to the hospital from weed of all things. I told him I just want to sleep it off, not sure if it was coherent but I managed to fall asleep and woke up maybe an hr later feeling terrified but I was tapped back into reality and gave him a hug. I can't imagine how traumatizing it was for him to see that.
I think there's multiple reasons for why it happened: Stress, sleep deprivation (I hadn't slept the night before since my sleep schedule is fucked, I'm always sleeping at 5-6AM), food? We didn't eat beforehand. I wanted to save my stomach for munchies. Caffeine maybe? I'm a huge coffee drinker and wouldn't be surprised if mixing caused some reaction, and nicotine. I'm also a big vaper so could be a combination of all the aforementioned reasons for why it happened
P.s I just realised it was a psychotic episode last night after randomly searching about it while high.
I smoked a couple times after that time and I had a minor attack but since I already experienced it I was able to control it. Last night I had a slight attack but once again was able to control it but freaked out a little when realising it was a psychotic episode. But after that freak out I had an enjoyable time just watching South Park. Tbf yesterday was also not the best time to be smoking cause I'm still dealing with the stress but also smoked with parents being upstairs, super risky but it was midnight so I just did it. Didn't get caught or anything so that was good.
My question is, will I be able to smoke again without feeling any psychotic symptoms? Or should I lay off the weed and just stick to nic. Cause I notice if my mindset is very negative the high also reflects that. Should I just do it when I'm in a good mood? I'm sorta scared to get high alone without anyone in the house with fears of an episode happening and I have no one to talk to.

2023.03.26 08:34 DaddieModi The Chronology of India: From Manu to Mahabharata

Sources
  1. The Chronology of India: From Manu to Mahabharata
  2. The Chronology of India: From Mahabharata to Medieval Era
Hello all, I have recently come across an excellent author by the name of Shri Vedveer Arya. As you can see from the linked page, he has a masters degree in Sanskrit, which is of utmost importance when doing research on Indian history. It should come as no surprise that the vast majority of Indian "historians" do not know how to read Sanskrit, which explains a lot.
He has written a few excellent books which chronologically orders Indian history. For this post, I'm simply going to list the order of events he has presented. This is simply for your own convenience, but you should read his books in order to get a better picture. You should also watch this podcast where Abhijit Chavda interviews him, since he has explained why the current chronology of India and even western countries is wrong. For example, he has concluded that even ancient Greek civilization is much older.
This guy has genuinely done his research, and if you read his books, you will see the sheer depth he has gone into finding the truth. At first I thought it was going to be like Nilesh Oak again, who gave some truly ridiculous dates for our history. But if you watch the podcast I linked, and read his books, it explains everything in an easy manner.

History of India from Manu to Mahabharata

Toba Supervolcanic Eruption (~72000 BCE)
Early Agriculture in India (~16000 BCE)
Proto-Vedic Period (16000-14500 BCE)
  1. Vedic Period (14500-10500 BCE)
  2. Ādiyuga : The era of early Manu dynasty (14500-14000 BCE)
  3. Devayuga: The Vedic Period (14000-11000 BCE)
  4. The Great Flood in Vaivasvata Manu’s Kingdom (11200 BCE)
  5. Vedic Sarasvati River lost in Thar Desert (10950 BCE)
  6. Later Rigvedic Period (11500-10500 BCE)
  7. Post-Vedic Sarasvati River started flowing westwards (10950-10000 BCE)
The Post-Vedic Period (10500-6777 BCE)
  1. The submergence of the city of Dvāravatī (9400-9300 BCE)
  2. The recompilation of Avestā, i.e., Asuraveda (7000 BCE)
  3. The epoch of the end of the 28th Krita Yuga (6778-6777 BCE)
The 28th Tretā Yuga (6777-5577 BCE)
  1. The Rāmāyaṇa era (5677-5577 BCE)
  2. The birth date of Sri Rāma (3rd Feb 5674 BCE)
The 28th Dvāpara Yuga (5577-3176 BCE)
  1. The epoch of Yudhiṣṭhira’s Rājasūya and his coronation in Indraprastha (3188 BCE)
  2. The epoch of the Mahābhārata war and Yudhiṣṭhira era (3162 BCE)
The Epoch of the 28th Kaliyuga (3176 BCE) [The Mahābhārata]
  1. The epoch of the 28th Kaliyuga (3173-3172 BCE) [Āryabhaṭa]
  2. The epoch of the 28th Kaliyuga (3101 BCE) [Lāṭadeva’s Sūrya Siddhānta]
  3. The submergence of Dwārakā city of the Mahābhārata era in a tsunami (3126 BCE)
  4. The disappearance of Post-Vedic Sarasvati and Dṛṣadvati Rivers (3000 BCE)
I've only put this much, because I have yet to read his second book. Once I do that, I might put the rest which will correct our history till medieval era.
Also, mods what the f*ck? I had to fiddle around with the links and place them at the top because it wouldn't allow me to post without having the same title as the link.

2023.03.26 08:34 WelcomeScary4270 Old mod working, but only on one Sim at a time?

Hi there.
I’m running a handful of mods to improve vampirism in my Supernatural game. One of which is Hardly Hungry Vampires by Tremerion (Tremerion's Crypt - Vampires Domain: Hardly Hungry Vampires).
The mod is supposed to apply to any vampire sim who has the Hardly Hungry trait and has a number of options to adjust Thirst Decay from Slow to Never.
The mod works perfectly with one vampire in the household however now that I have two, it only seems to apply to the last one I turned. I’ve tried clearing the cache as well as only running the mod in question by itself but no luck, whichever setting I have applied works on the last vampire but the initial one’s thirst decays as in vanilla.
Mod List
Overrides:
Vampires_Are_Not_Kind
Packages:
Battery_Utility_1.043
Buzz_CarpoolDisabler
Enhanced Vampires animations
Enhanced Vampires VFX
Enhanced Vampires
NoBuildSparkles
Nointro
NRaas_Retuner
simler90GameplaySystemsCoreMod-UPDATE149
VHardlyHungry_Never (Testing) OR VHardlyHungry_Slow (Regular Gameplay)
Is there anything I can do to fix this?
I’ve run the mod alone with no other mods and this still occurs
I’d really appreciate anyone who could help me out

2023.03.26 08:34 yarbed Can we keep feminism alive in this sub?

I wanna poke the bear because I’m a lil tipsy and I’m psychoanalyzing this sub that I love a lil too much right now. My apologies if this has been brought up before here. BUT I would guess that the major population of this sub is women. I would also guess that a major population of the women in this sub dislike how the Kardashians have contributed towards negative stereotypes/standards around women, AKA, women’s beauty (plastic surgery/extreme body standards) /relationships (one baby daddy/stand by your man no matter how much he hates Jewish people or cheats on you)/ demeanor (shallow/catering to the male gaze) etc etc etc. BUT in our hating on women can we strive towards keeping feminist ideals, even in our critiques? I see plenty of feminist rhetoric on this sub, but I also see a fearful amount of anti-feminism here, and I fear that some of it is coming from women. But I also suspect that there are men hiding in the fuckin weeds here that are championing hateful narratives against women (based on sexism) that many of us are blindly applauding. Hate them as much as we want, they are women, and women have been demonized, dominated, and destroyed in both popular culture and private homes since the beginning of time. I think we should hate hate hate with all of our viscous comments and hearts AND YET be careful with our words at times, simply because hating Kardashians is another hate-women fad, and yes they Fucking suck, but we have to unite in our agreement that they don’t suck because of their female bodies or minds, but because of their behaviors (which are NOT tied to their gender). Posting this because I’d love to discuss how to hate on women without feeling anti-feminist. I love this sub and don’t think it’s all bad. Some things just rub me wrong. Please don’t block me for this cuz I love being a hater too 😅

2023.03.26 08:34 really_sketch_vibes NFP and long distance holding me back from converting

I grew up Protestant, in practice fell away in college, got married, and since have experienced a reversion and an intense desire to become Catholic after learning about church history and becoming convinced of the real presence in the Eucharist. Also I’ve still never attended mass cause I’m scared of the whole thing. Catholicism is so much more intense than my Calvinist upbringing and the whole thing is just really intimidating. The rules! The unknown traditions! So wonderful but so much.
One of the biggest hurdles I’m facing is NFP. I totally understand the reasoning behind requiring it, it’s one of the first truths I really came to accept that made me believe Catholicism to be true. Birth control is so damaging to our society, and I’ve been hurt by it. But, in practice being open to life is really scary. My husband and I really want kids, but financially things aren’t great for us. We’ve just made a big move away from my family, I have little to no friends or much support here and to top it off I’m just starting my first real grown up job, with no benefits. I’d be able to take unpaid time off and keep my job, but that’s it. I’m still on my parents insurance, but my husband doesn’t even have health insurance as it’s so expensive for us. I would really like to buy a home before we have kids, that may be a couple years away at least. We so so want children though.
To top it off, my husband works away from home and can be gone for weeks to months at a time. I have a copper iud atm, and have been tracking my cycles with a tempdrop for the last 6 or so cycles. For instance my husband will be coming home for the first time in two months soon, and I will be in my fertile window. Abstaining while being open to life in those moments will be so hard for us. Sometimes he’ll only be home for a week before he’s gone again and having to abstain in those few moments we have together will be really bad for our marriage, or so I imagine. We already stopped any kind of phone sex, as I feel wrong about it now knowing what I know, which has been good but also hard when we are apart for so long.
Part of me thinks like we could mostly follow NFP, but withdraw when we are in a tight spot fertility and timing wise, but I also know that’s not exactly the right thing to do. My line of thinking is it’s better than what I’m doing now with my iud.
I know the Catholic Church and NFP could bring us many blessings, but wow the reality of it is just intimidating.
I don’t really know what I am expecting to get from posting this, but I don’t know a single Catholic in real life, or anyone who is practicing NFP. I feel like we are in a really unique situation but maybe some of you have some advice or kind words.

2023.03.26 08:33 Aplicacion [SPOILERS] Just finished FFII (NES)! Come read me rambling

Spoilers for Final Fantasy II below.
I’ve always loved Final Fantasy, but as a kid of the late 90s, I was first introduced to the series through Final Fantasy VII – like many of you, I imagine – and Tactics in the early-to-mid 2000s by my step-dad. I was fairly familiar with videogame RPGs, having played Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana before, and I had always enjoyed playing D&D with my friends, but that was all I knew, pretty much.
Since then, growing up, I’ve branched into other RPG franchises and for Final Fantasy I’ve played every subsequent numbered entry (making a conscious effort to avoid FFXI and, more recently, FFXIV – MMOs can just ruin my life; I get too involved) and even went back to play FFI, FFIV and FFVI but, surprise surprise, I never did get around to playing FFII, FFIII or FFV (also X-2 and the two sequels to XIII, but that’s a story for another time).
Earlier this month I decided to do something I’ve been delaying for a while: play every numbered entry again, including going for II, III and V for the first time. So, a couple of hours ago I finished Final Fantasy II for the first time. I played the Famicom version, using an emulator and the Chaos Rush translation. It took me a whopping 27:45:00 (quite a jump from the 19:29:00 it took me to beat FFI). And I have thoughts!
This game is constantly put at the bottom of your ol’ regular FF rankings and tier-lists and pretty commonly that position comes with commentary like “Final Fantasy doesn’t have bad games, and it’s not like FFII is inherently bad, but…” and then it proceeds to list so many reasons why this game should be considered an affront against God.
So let’s get those reasons out of the way first. The things that got on my nerves playing through Final Fantasy II were 3: 1. the; 2. inventory; 3. system.
I mean, cheap, I know. But really. Yeah, the leveling system is strange, the random encounter rate is a tad too high. The airship doesn’t have its own theme (now that’s a crime right there, especially since that knee-slapper of a song that FFI’s airship has)... Yeah, yeah. But hear me out:
I didn’t find the game grindy (I had to do it once, to level up my Esuna, but that’s more my fault than the game’s, I feel) and I found the leveling system pretty organic. The hiccup there was choosing my character’s roles at the beginning, but once that was out of the way, leveling was fine.
But the inventory system. Honestly. Who had to be bounced like a basketball on their head as a baby to come up with that unholy sacrilegious sin of a system? Look. If you want every character to share a group inventory that holds consumables, key items, weapons and armor, that’s fine. But if you’re gonna do that, why in the everliving shitfuck would you get rid of stacking items and not allow for old key items to be discarded? That just makes consumables absolutely useless. Was stacking 99 potions in FFI too much of a game-breaking trick for Square? Did they assume I was a potionholic just chugging them at the Temple of Fiends and decided to stage an intervention and flush my stash? What. The. Fuck.
It came to a point where I was glad to see the cute little wyvern burn with Ricard! Once I found out that he could take it with him and free me a slot I just punted that little dude into his hands and did NOT look back.
But, on the other hand, I kinda had a blast with this game! One of the things that gave me that last push I needed to finally start this “endeavor” was watching Dan’s series on Final Fantasy animation (New Frame Plus on YouTube; here is the video on FFII). I’m a sucker for animation and I just needed to see for myself how much they improved after the first game when it came to leveraging the Famicom’s limitations and using them for storytelling, and they did a FANTASTIC job. And only a year after the first game! It’s great seeing how so many staples of the franchise were born in this game, but it was the quaint little story and how the game tells it that kept me interested (that and using Fire 7 on everything. I just love the little sprite).
All in all, FFII was pretty great. It has that something that I absolutely adore from this series: the willingness to try new stuff every time, and I think they actually succeeded, even if they hadn’t quite found their footing yet. Final Fantasy II is Final Fantasy starting to bud before it can bloom with the later games, and I’m here for it.
P.S.: Leon is a bitch.
If you’re at all interested, I recorded the final fight with the Emperor and cutscene here. It’s funny because Firion dies and then there’s two Marias, but one of them is still addressed as Firion. My party was:

2023.03.26 08:32 Mandarin_Lumpy_Nut Any advice??

I don’t have a diagnosis but I’m fairly certain I have OCD. Mostly harm OCD and religious OCD. The issue is I mentioned the kind of thoughts I have towards my child to a healthcare worker and they called DHR on me and now so don’t have custody of my kids. I don’t want to hurt my kid,which is why I told the healthcare worker to see what they’d say. And I asked them for resources also. I just wasn’t expecting them to call DHR. What would be a good next step to try and prove that I’m not a danger to my kids? I have an appointment with a psychiatrist next week and I’m hoping to get a diagnosis and maybe that will help? I don’t know. All know is I want my kids back.

2023.03.26 08:32 fendisocks This is why I ride

When I was in the darkest point of my life, I knew I had to make a change. A leap of faith. At 20 years old I abandoned my apartment in Florida and left all my belongings aside from what I was wearing and the money I had saved up. Booked a one way straight to Arizona where I went on FaceBook marketplace immediately upon landing and bought the first Kawasaki Ninja that popped up. Zero hesitation. I rode that bike from Phoenix up to Sedona in the middle of winter—32 degrees and for a rider with no proper gloves, no proper riding gear, and no idea where I was going to sleep that night, it was an adventure.
I took the side highways. The ones that cut through the mountains and keep you free from civilization aside from the occasional motel & gas station every 30 miles. Halfway to Sedona I decided to stop and warm up at a scenic lookout I came across in the mountains. Mistakenly, I decided to take my key out of the bike. It’s 4:30PM in the middle of winter, which means the sun is going to set in about an hour. I’m in the middle of the mountains with no cell service, and the nearest mountain town is a 30 minute drive away.
https://imgur.com/gOEMz9l
After warming up and bracing myself for the journey ahead, I’m ready to get back on the horse. Thing is, I’m twisting the key… but the ignition isn’t starting. I haven’t mentioned yet, but the Ninja is as old as me with more mileage than your college ex girlfriend. I keep trying it. Keep trying. I end up twisting the key so now it doesn’t even fit inside of the key slot. Genius. After 20 minutes of frustration and prayer…
a van pulls up. A hippie van. Out of the van comes two dogs, a cat, and a girl roughly my age. She had the same idea as me, to stop at the scenic spot and enjoy the view—although one of us had a very short-lived moment of peace. She can see I’m frustrated & asks if I need help. It felt like the sort of thing you’d expect to see in a movie, except it was happening right before my eyes. Turns out she travels across the country in her van and she’s headed towards Sedona anyways for a gathering with other van enthusiasts… perfect. Also just so happens my bike fits perfectly in the back of her van. I manage to summon herculean strength and lift the 500lb bike into the back of her hippie van—and with the company of two stray dogs and a cat—we’re off to Sedona.
https://imgur.com/bS4a360
I could go into more details…. but long story short I get to Sedona and for the next week I’m ripping through the mountains, exploring the land, and experiencing freedom. Didn’t tell anyone I was coming here. Didn’t tell anyone I left Florida. Didn’t tell anyone I bought the bike. All I knew was I had experienced the taste of freedom and I was never settling for anything less.
https://imgur.com/snV1fWw
It was from this adventure that I gained the inspiration to build my brand. The brand is a representation of my favorite quote: “It is not death a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.” In this life, it’s up to you to decide how you want to live. Do you want to be a slave to your environment? To your job? To your problems? To your adversity? Or will you release yourself from the imaginary shackles they have on you and live a life free of regrets? This is what you need to ask yourself. You alone can make that decision.
For me, motorcycles were the key to unlocking this newfound freedom, and experiencing this new perspective of life. For others, it may be surfing, skiing, MMA, but whatever it is, we all do it for the same reason.
For the thrill of it.

2023.03.26 08:32 PuzzledShoulder3247 I’m too skeptical of my friend group, please help!

First, let me introduce you to the cast A - friend 1 B - friend 2 C - my girlfriend D - old friend we cut off
I (15F) have a friend group all around my age. I began hanging out A and C summer last year. Genuinely one of the most amazing summers I’ve ever had, everyday we just fucked off and drove around. A even helped me get with C, my now current gf. We eventually met D who started dating A, which might be the source of how I feel as of now. It’s a whole other post about what they did. Long story short,at homecoming they accused my girlfriend of saying she wanted to break up with me via text, after she told me I broke down crying. When C comes to pick me up I question her (obviously upset) and she denies it and show proof (no deleted receipts) This was around October, months later in December we found out they had lied. So me, A and C cut them off. The few months I spent with D and C arguing on and off and both kinda leaving me in this were some of the most agonizing days of my life, I cried almost every night, it was either my best friend or my girlfriend lying to me. What the hell was I supposed to do? The whole mess left me an absolute wreck, ever since my trust issues have spiraled out of control. You have never met someone with true anxiety and paranoia before you’ve met me, and this drama changed me, I’ve not been able to trust anyone fully ever since.
Me, A and C still stayed together, C has been a pretty amazing girlfriend, but A has changed and it’s been bothering me a lot. We me B on homecoming night but didn’t start talking to them until weeks later, when A and B became super close. B is a really chipper girl, but it just feels like she’s too nice. I’m my group we constantly joke about she would never do any wrong and im not sure why but it’s been bothering me. A is sort of the “main character” of our group, and I can’t stand it. Everyone is constantly trying to talk to him and ignoring everyone else, maybe I’m just jealous, but I feel like friend groups shouldn’t be “lead” by someone. Everyone deserves an equal share and should be heard out and participate as much as the next guy. I asked another one of my good friends to confirm my suspicion about A being followed around by my friends like dogs, and she said she sees it too. When me A B and C hang out it’s just me and my girlfriend talking and A and B pretty much talking to each other exclusively. I’m scarred of what happened months ago will repeat, A and B will start dating, and B does something horrible like how D did. I know that A and B are pretty genuine people, but everytime I hang out with them I feel an itch. I constantly get left out and I end up the butt of jokes pretty often. A B and C Always talk about what amazing times they’ve had meanwhile I just felt like shit the entire time, I’m not sure how get over this, please help

2023.03.26 08:32 someonebringmefood I’M COMING OUT. I am a FULL-TIME PASTOR in a non-denominational church with a largely conservative background and surroundings. I have been following Ethan and H3 since the beginning and still watch every single minute of content. Oh and I’m a man.

Probably no one around me knows how much I love and follow H3, not because I’m embarrassed about it, but because I don’t think they would be able to receive some of Ethan’s extremes comments. I appreciate his humor and believe he has the right to speak and say what he wants. Even if it’s a rant on the value of Jesus’ sperm haha.
Anyway, I’d love have convos and be able to share a view from a Christian who actively lives and practices and still can enjoy H3 to the fullest. Love this community, btw.

2023.03.26 08:31 sharks212 2 different life paths to go down that I (21F) have to decide about very soon, any thoughts or guidance or wisdom?

I’m about to graduate from undergrad and the plan was always to get my phd in clinical psych. for those who don’t know, it’s pretty much impossible to get into a program without a post baccalaureate full time research job, which are 2 year long positions that are notoriously underpaid. i’ve done research throughout undergrad so i’m a competitive applicant and have gotten a lot of interviews for research jobs. the most promising one is at a hospital in queens NY for $45k starting in june.
i always thought this path was my passion and my intended career but lately i’ve gotten pretty anti capitalistic and just want to leave the system, get any job to make enough money to allow me to travel, do things i enjoy, and have financial freedom. i’ve been rejecting the notion that your career has to be your dream, i feel like a job can just be a job for money as long as you don’t hate it.
i’m currently working as a part time contractor at a tech start up that’s related to psychology. they can most likely hire me full time in may or june, and all full time workers get a guaranteed starting salary of $70k. it’s not a guarantee that they’ll hire me but it seems really likely based on my meetings with my boss, and even if not hired immediately, i still make $30+ an hour as a contractor until then. not to mention it’s fully remote so i’ll have so much freedom to do things i want like travel etc. it’s a start up so it may not be the most stable or long term career plan, but the experience can set me up to get other jobs in the industry.
obviously that job is way more enticing than the $45k research job for 2 years, which (if i even get into grad school after) leads to 5-6 years of being broke as a phd student. the idea of being a doctor and helping people is amazing to think about, but the 8 year long road kinda ruins it for me. my mom is adamant about wanting me to be a doctor and pursue higher education as that’s her measure of success, and basically said she’d be disappointed in me if i don’t. it feels like she’d only be proud if i went this route and she’s sacrificed so much for me so i want to make her proud, but idk if it’s what i want.
i was thinking i can take the remote high paying job if offered it, and after a year i can always reassess and go back to the research job/phd route. but i know it’ll be harder to go back compared to just starting now. i’m scared of having regrets and being unfulfilled in the future and wishing i had done more with my career and not sold out for the money. idk if i’m abandoning my dream and passion, or if i’ve just grown up and am in the real world so my goals have changed. i’m only 21, it seems so overwhelming to commit to grad school now when i won’t even finish until i’m 28-29. have i lost my passion and drive? am i just burned out right now? was it never my true passion? how do all these other people follow their passions and go to school for so long? am i not cut out for it? or do i just need to do it? i’ve done so much to set myself up for this specific path. but looking back, idk if i necessarily enjoyed doing research. it felt good to feel accomplished but idk if it’s what i want to do forever? ugh.
i’m just so torn and don’t know what i want. short term, the remote job sounds amazing, long term, being a doctor sounds amazing. but it’s like i only want that end goal, the 8 years until then don’t seem so enjoyable. i’ll feel proud that i’m doing it and making a difference, but honestly, 5-6 more years of school sounds like hell. and i could have regrets that way too, i could regret not taking the remote job and having money and freedom. i’m so back and forth i’m going crazy!

2023.03.26 08:31 alonealsoatnight First two(ish) weeks of weightloss - thoughts on progress and advice? (M28 181cm, SW 104kg GW 80kg)

Hi,
I posted on a daily thread a while ago about about advice on weight loss, and I've now been on my journey for... two weeks! Or not, the first week is partial, thu-sun. I still wanted to post my progress and ask how it looks, kind of like am I doing it right? Here are the numbers:
Thursday 16.3. - 103.85kg
Fri - 103.05kg
Sat - 103.25kg
Sun 102.75kg
Weekly average - 103.23kg
Monday 20.3. - 101.95kg
Tue - 101.95kg
Wed. - 102.25kg
Thu - 101.25kg
Fri - 101.7kg
Sat - 101.4kg
Sun 101.35kg
Weekly average - 101.69kg
Change in total weight - 2,5kg
Change in weekly average - 1,5kg
How does it look? My target weight is 80kg, which I want to reach in september, more or less. That would mean 1kg per week, which is a lot but I feel it's attainable for me. I won't be mad if it takes me til the end of the year either! I'm a bit worried that my last three weigh-ins have shown a higher number than thursday, which is why I'm trying to go by weekly average. I also dropped a lot of weight right at the start, but I guess that's water?
My meal plan is basically 1500 calories a day. A normal day for me would look like this: 12pm first meal, around 600cal. Last meal around 8pm, also around 600cal. The middle section I mostly fill with fruit atm, I might eat a couple of bananas and oranges that should take me to about 1500cal. I'm not super strict on the exact number of calories, but according to calculators, my "calories out" is between 2450 and 2700 per day, depending on activity, so I try to eyeball around a 1000cal deficit per day without going under 1500cal. The meal I'm having today for example is almost spot on 600cal, has some mock chicken (I'm vegan), veggies, a sauce and rice. About 25% of the calories is the "chicken" protein source.
As to activity, I currently walk around 5000 steps a day is my guess, depending on the day and my schedule. I try to do 15-30 mins of calisthenics 5 or 6 times a week, and I go climbing once a week. Friday I spent almost two hours climbing and managed to send some V1 boulder problems, which is not stellar but it's my first time bouldering so I'm happy!
So... how does it look? Any red flags? Any tips on reaching and maintaining a 1kg/week rhythm? Also, I have some questions... it's afaik not recommended to go below 1500cal per day for a man. But is it actually dangerous? I feel like there are some days where I kind of round everything up and eyeball things too high and I might go below 1500cal.
Another thing is, how do you deal with plateaus? They somehow don't make sense to me... like, it's just physics that if you're on a steady deficit, your weight must decrease. The energy doesn't appear from nowhere. So how do plateaus happen and how to get over them?
Lastly, about my mental state: I'm actually feeling completely fine! I thought I'd have a lot more cravings or cranky mood or something, but most days I feel great. I feel... springy and lighter, like instead of taking the elevator I feel like running up the stairs and when I go for a walk I feel more confident and brisk. I know I need to knock on wood, but so far this feels easy. I only get minor cravings and they're nowhere near taking me to the point where I cave in and buy a bag of chips or a pizza. And so, I wanted to ask you... when does the hardest part of the journey come in your opinion? I understand that I probably only have an initial motivation spike, and it'll probably get harder. At what point did you struggle the most? A week in? A month in? Three months in? And how did you manage that struggle?
Sorry, this is a lot of text but I'm excited, and there are still a ton of questions I would like to ask! But this'll do for now, and I'll come up with more in the comments maybe. Thank you!

2023.03.26 08:31 ThrowRA_3379 I (28M) found my girlfriends (25F) secret sexual twitter account.

I found my girlfriends secret twitter account. It showed up as “who to follow”, thought the picture looked like her (i had never seen this photo) and clicked the profile. It was created fairly recently however it is full of lude tweets sexual in nature. “spank me” “i’m so horny” “i should be riding his fat c” “i should be sucking her py right now” i need someone to f me this morning” etc etc. also mentions of “sending out panties”. all of her followers are bot accounts i doubt she is actually selling her panties but maybe is trying to? or likes the fantasy of doing so?
she is bi and a lot of sexual tweets about wanting to do things with girls. she follows exclusively girls. she tweets at girls on twitter about wanting to do sexual things with them (no one has responded, publicly at least). there are no sexual photos of her.
i guess she isn’t directly cheating but i highly doubt she thinks i’d be okay with this sort of behavior.
we just adopted a puppy together and am pretty devastated because if we were to break up i’d need to rehome the puppy as i can’t keep it due to my work schedule.
pretty conflicted on what to do. she lives at my place. i love her dearly. we’ve been investing in a life together. she’s never had a place to call home until she met me. again she hasn’t physically done anything but am i supposed to just wait until she does?
TL;DR found my gfs twitter account where she tweets sexual things about the same sex and opposite sex. she has basically no followers. tweets at female models sexual things. no pics of her or evidence of actual physical cheating.

2023.03.26 08:31 katrvdical Rent assistance

Hi everybody this is my first time asking for help on here and I figured I’d give it a shot. I’ve been dealing with depression and anxiety for awhile now and thought gig work would allow me the freedom I need to take time out for those matters the last few months. The gig economy as of late has been super unpredictable and opportunities have been dwindling so starting next month I’ll be needing to find an actual W2 job for stability. The income is obviously not consistent enough to be sustainable so I’m a bit in the red. I know it’s such a “boo hoo we’re all going through it” situation but I would be eternally grateful if I could get some help with rent. I absolutely will be returning to the favor to someone on this forum once I’m back on my feet. I’m willing to send you screenshots of the payment if you’d like proof that’s where the money is going as well. If you’re not able to, I appreciate you reading this far.

2023.03.26 08:31 No_Cockroach4757 [Recruiting] NV Phoenix #29GVUJ0LP Dead lv14 clan with 3 members ready to start up looking for potential co leaders

Looking to start up a new clan. I have a lv14 clan with a decent war log sitting dead holding a lot of my alt accounts. I’ve now moved those alt accounts to a different clan so that I just have 1 or 2 in the clan. I’m looking for possible co leaders and people that would be interested in helping to lead this clan.
A bit about me. I’ve got about 10-20 accounts (some are my friends that I play on) but it’s just too much to play on them so I just play 2-4. My main account is th14 with 2000 war stars. I’m co leader in a decent lv20 clan and a solid attacker. I also run another lv14 clan on my second account which used to be a rushed th13 but I’ve been fixing the rush and the account now has maxed hero’s and 1000 war stars. That lv14 clan I just started up again last year and is thriving. I’ve been playing this game for years, have lots of experience with war attacks and strategies, and would say I’m decently good at recruiting through Reddit, discord, and through the game. If I were to start up this clan, the 2 accounts I would have in it would be a decently rushed th15 for donations that has maxed e drags and can do cwl and a semi rushed th11 with max hero’s that I’ve been working on fixing the rush. Hopefully this snippet didn’t come across as bragging, I’m trying to show my credibility as someone experienced who knows what they’re doing in regard to starting a clan.
Im wondering about starting up another clan because I used to have it going back in the day. Some of the clan values/rules would be as follows:
  1. Hero’s upgrading = don’t go in war.
  2. Clan capital attacks must be used, and no leaving clan capital bases at 70% or more. If you have another attack, finish up the base you started.
  3. Elder would come from solid war attacks 1000-2000+ donations, and activity in the chat, co would come over time.
  4. CWL would be our top 15/30 mainly based on war weight unless certain people are really awful at attacking
  5. War is pretty straight forward, be smart and attack a base you can 3 star. Always bring hero’s, always bring cc, don’t be trash.
  6. Main priority is building a good culture, so anyone toxic or rude is unwanted. If people are awful we’ll kick them, but for the most part we’d rather have people who suck but are teachable than people who are good but really arrogant and mess up the clan’s culture.
  7. I’m from Canada, and the clan would be English speaking.
  8. I may be missing some ideas, but these are the main ones I believe
In terms of co leaders, I’m looking for experienced players (preferably th12+ with 1000+ war stars) who know what they’re doing in terms of attacking, can help others, are talkative, and good culture builders. I want players who will max clan games, use raid attacks, and be active daily with good donations. Also forgot to mention, e drags are highly discourage and pretty much not allowed in war as they aren’t a viable 3 start strategy. We’re looking for strats like hybrid, zap witches, lalo, blizzard stuff, etc.
Now I want to know about you guys. If you see this message and say hey this is something I’m interested in, either reply to this, or dm me and tell me about yourself. Let me know where you’re from, th level, attack strats, capital strats, history with the game, and what you’d bring to the clan.
Thanks for reading through this long message!

2023.03.26 08:30 cyberiadeliria Need help with hosting heavily modded server for 2 players

For a week i’ve been trying to pick out a bunch of mods to make a modded the last of us theme’d server for me and a friend. I’m certain i’ve checked them all on either the workshops or other servers that use them for their compatibility, and made sure i did the proper load order and map order, and disabled all the anti cheats in the ini file. currently, i’m able to make a character but when i go to load in, the screen stays black, my mouse gets the loading icon, then it says i lost connection and got error code 4. i already did the fixes for the error code, internet is fine, drivers are up to date and i verified the files. i also tried the same mod set for a solo, same thing except when it goes to load in after making a character and freezes on black screen, i have to just fully force close the game rather than it aborting and giving an error code.
i was hoping anyone generous enough who knows what they’re doing more than I do might be willing to look through the mod list i have and figure out how to make a server with them that actually works and then tell me what to do.
I’m also looking to, in the future, make a bigger proper tlou theme’d server with more people so if anyone is interested in that when we get to it lmk ill add to a discord
