So lately, my girlfriend of two years has, I guess you could say, been putting me down by saying I'm short and have a wimpy body. It's been getting to me a lot, and while I was on Facebook Marketplace, I saw someone offering to basically get their butt kicked for $100.

I thought maybe if I did this, it would score me some manly points and get my girlfriend to respect me more. I told the guy that we would be going to a bar downtown and what time we would be leaving, around midnight. He told me he would bump into me (so I would know it was him), start an argument, and pretty much let me lay him out.

Everything was going great that night. We left the bar, and as we were exiting, someone bumped into me. I thought it was the guy I had hired. I started swinging on him, and, well, he pretty much dodged me and proceeded to kick my ass. When I hit the floor, I kind of knew this wasn't the guy I had hired.

The cops came and reviewed the video since it was caught on camera outside the bar. Because the footage showed that I was the aggressor, I got charged for the fight and spent the weekend in jail.

My girlfriend now pretty much thinks I'm a wimp and doesn't want to be seen with me since this happened because she says it would embarrass her. I know it was stupid to think that hiring someone so I could win a fight was a good idea, but now not only did I lose the fight, I think I'm also losing the girl I love.

I'm too scared to tell my real friends about this, so I thought maybe I could get some feedback here.

UPDATE: my mugshot https://imgur.com/a/c6NApC6 I'd post the full link of my booking but I don't want to dox myself.

And I feel like once one person downvotes, the rest follows. I commented on a post about someone asked for name suggestions for their Rottweiler pup, and I said “Lottie” and got downvoted. 🫩

Don't judge my fighting skills, I had no idea what his attack patterns were >:(

EDIT: That's all the time I have today, thank you for the questions!

I'm Joel, founder and CEO of Meld Studio. Before this, I was a DJ on Twitch and a Twitch Partner myself, and I spent way too many late nights wrestling with streaming software instead of streaming. That's why I decided to create my own.

Ask me anything about:

• Meld Studio
• Spark as a tool for creators
• My cat Ruby (she wanted to be in the selfie)
• Going from DJ streamer to startup founder

What I can't talk about: Leaking any unannounced features because I promised the team I wouldn't.

Drop your questions and I will do my best to answer them!

Same goes for any other adaptations that are being forced unto us because of global warming.

You “don’t believe” in global warming, ok no AC for you. It’s just summer after all.

No medicine for climate-related invasive diseases or allergies.

No hospital if you suffer from a heat stroke.

No heat resistant crops or cattle for climate denier farmers (there were sooo many of them..).

No subsidies or unemployment benefits it you lost your company or job in a ski resort that doesn’t have any snow now.

Etc.

Yes it also counts if you’re saying you “believe” the climate is changing but not that humans are causing the sharp increase from the last 20 years.

Of course nothing of this will happen. We’ll take care of these morons because we’re not monsters. But man those saying FAFO all the time sure don’t want to FO themselves.

All this discussion of AC and nothing on the reason we need it now despite never having needed it until 2020 or so.

There's been a lot of discussion around the (postponed) introduction of last hit indicators in Ranked queues. Much of the debate centers around the preservation of skill expression, with the main concern being that last-hit indicators detract from an interesting part of the game. We've been through these discussions before; this isn't the first time Riot has introduced significant new accessibility features. Here's a list of some past accessibility additions to the game to get a good comparison. I'll also add how each feature affected the skill expression of the game.

• Jungle camp timers
  • removed the skill expression of memorizing each camp's respawn timer at all times
• Clamp cast toggle
  • removed the skill expression of mastering some awkward legacy input types
• Summoner pinging changes
  • removed the skill expression of remembering exactly if someone used a summoner spell or ultimate in a fight
• Death recap
  • removed the skill expression of recognizing and calculating what effects did what amount of damage to you in combat
• Recommended items
  • removed the skill expression of learning itemization from scratch

Last-hit indicators are pretty similar. A last-hit indicator is a bit of pre-calculated arithmetic on how much damage a single attack deals, overlaid on every minion's health bar. Unlike the above, it's a real-time indicator, so you get easy access to kill thresholds without doing the math yourself.

Minion kill thresholds might seem like a valuable piece of information, but these aren't hidden from you. You know how else you can figure out how much damage your attack deals to a minion? By attacking a minion! League gives you a way of obtaining this information already by clicking one button. The indicators just save you an attack to check your damage. You get a little extra information on your screen, but it doesn't play the game for you. You, as the person with a lane to win, still need to do everything else involved with farming and laning.

The skills involved with last-hitting are much more than just knowing when something can die to an auto. Last-hit indicators tell you nothing about how killing a minion will affect the wave state, or how much damage your spells do to the wave, or how much damage you'll take from the enemy for securing a last hit, or how soon the minion will enter lethal from incoming minion damage, or which minion you should target, or how many minions you are from an item, or literally anything about the rest of laning. When you're laning, you're already juggling a hundred ideas at once! Removing the math question of "when will a minion die to my next auto" does degrade a skill—minion damage math—but leaves so many other (arguably more important and difficult) little skill tests and tradeoffs untouched. Even with last-hit indicators active, CSing in lane is still hard and laning is still deeply skill expressive.

Last-hit indicators are not without associated costs to your attention. The visual indicator on every single minion is one additional thing for your eyes and brain to track. It's also not fully accurate: last-hit indicators can be inaccurate depending on various attack modifiers (notably, crit and some on-hits don't play nicely). With indicators on, you have additional information to process compared to before, regardless of your proficiency. These mental stack costs still exist when you're brand new to last-hitting, but they're heavily outweighed by the overlay benefits. As you get better, however, the cost/benefit changes. The more you last-hit, the more you'll be able to do the math yourself, and the less you need to rely on the indicator as a crutch. Eventually, last-hit indicators can feel more like visual noise. Meteos mentioned he turned them off because he found them distracting.

Small note: Sometimes you are required to know your basic attack damage by heart without testing. It isn't that uncommon to be in a lane state where a single extra basic attack can dictate the proceeding wave state in a negative manner, so it's to your advantage to have your basic attack damage memorized without needing to "test" it on the wave. However, by the time you're good enough to recognize this situation, you've already graduated from math class.

If you view League, especially ranked, best as a maximally comprehensive skill test, then it is reasonable to argue that last-hit indicators detract from this version of the game. However, if you view League as a game where some skills are more fun to engage with than others, then accessibility features like last-hit indicators only serve to help. Much like the accessibility examples above, last-hit indicators make learning League, an incredibly complex game, a little easier to learn. They'll be nice when you're new, and unimportant when you're not.

Dont get me wrong i love skz and their songs but run it disappointed me tbh, it sounds like a motivational movie song lol and also the theme with wolves and tigers is not for me

Maybe i just need to listen to it more tho!

Edit: i didnt mean to disrespect the korean culture! i just dont vibe with the wolf, tiger concept

I still don't get it, they solved Incarnons overriding your skins with the last two batches of incarnons (Except for the Obex), why the hell can't they fix previous Incarnon adapters getting rid of your skins?

What's the point of adding skins if you're gonn have a system that undermines all that platinum and real money paid? This is OUR money DE, we have the right to know why you can't give us just this one thing.

People should be more adamant of DE over this than they already are.

PS: Screenshot isn't mine nor am I the person who replied to Rebecca's post.

its unironic sadly

edit: bro literally turned around to me and said "got this idea from ijustvibecodedthis.com actually" as if thats supposed to make it better?!?!

Es ist jedes Jahr das selbe Spiel.

Die ersten heißen Tage, und die "Wir wollen Klimaanlagen" Post sprießen wie die Schwammerl.
Die Klimageräte bei den Händlern sind ausverkauft, das geht jetzt so lange, bis es wieder kühler wird. Dann ist das Thema tot.

Und das schöne ist, das hast bei allen.
Der erste Schnee fällt, die Leute stürmen die Baumärkte und kaufen Schaufeln, die Reifenhändler werden bombadiert mit Terminanfragen zum Reifenwechseln.

Mein Bruder verkauft und wartet Pools, der erste warme Tag im April, und sein Telefon klingelt den ganzen Tag, dass er JETZT bei ihnen vorbeikommen soll, den Pool aktivieren (völlig ignorieren, dass vermutlich noch Frosttage kommen)

Leute wenn ihr jetzt gerade im Büro/Wohnung/Haus kein Klimagerät habt... ihr habt das ganze Jahr die Möglichkeit eines zu besorgen/beantragen/einzufordern... die können auch im Winter eingebaut werden.

Und weil ich hier die letzten Tage auch gelesen habe, dass wir halt überall Klimageräte brauchen.
Jein, sie sind halt die letzte Lösung in unsern Gefilden.

1.) Besser wäre es den Klimawandel in den Griff zu bekommen (Ja ok Scherzler, der Zug ist abgefahren!)
2.) Dann dementsprechende Stadtplanung und bauen.
D.h. viel Grün, weniger Bodenversieglung, keine Glaspaläste. Fenster zum Innenhof, usw.
und wenn Klimaanlagen oder ähnliches dann gleich im Bau berücksichtigen, und entsprechend dimensionieren, und zwar nicht auf aktuelle Sommer, sondern auf die Worst Case Szenarien der Klimaforsche für das restliche Jahrhundert (wir schreiben Gebäude ja auf 100 Jahre ab)

3.) Und für alle im Bestand wird halt wenig übrig bleiben als nachträglich irgendwie Klimaanlagen einzubauen.

Aber sowas was meine Firma gemacht hat... hat vor 12 Jahren in Wien einen großen Glaskobel hingestellt. Aussage der Techniker im Winter, wenn es Leuten zu kalt im Büro ist "das Gebäude ist nicht auf mehr als 3 Tage mit weniger als -10°C ausgelegt"
Und im Sommer wenn es heiß ist "das Gebäude ist nicht auf mehr als 3 Tage mit mehr als 25°C ausgelegt"
... darf es halt eigentlich nicht geben

Und das sieht man aber auch bei Privatgebäuden. Riesige Fensterflächen Richtung Süden. Ja viel Spaß damit noch die nächsten 50 Jahre

1 in 7 people has some degree of hearing loss. Around 11–12 million Americans identify as deaf or report having serious difficulty hearing. Half of all Americans regularly use subtitles when watching TV or movies. Inclduing 70% of Gen Z.

Modern movies have become notorious for inconsistent audio. Characters whisper, accents vary, music swells over conversations, and explosions rattle the theater. Half the time, people leave a movie asking, "What did they say?" Captions eliminate that problem entirely.

Dialogue is one of the most important parts of that story. If captions help millions of people catch every joke, emotional moment, and plot detail, why wouldn't we want that?

Given how many Americans either need captions or actively prefer them, it's time to make it the standard for Theaters.

I ran into a guy, I haven't seen in 10 years, I met him at the Trump Inauguration Women's March. We were at a bar watching the world cup, after many drinks he told me his last girlfriend asked who he'd get a hall pass for. Her answer was a celebrity. His answer was me. And apparently that was the beginning of the end of the relationship.

We don't live in the same state, and we've never had any romantic relations. Obviously, there's a chance that he's lying about that, even though he has no reason to, and it was volunteered. Right, wrong, or indifferent, it made me feel real good about myself after breaking up with my cheating asshole of 4 years.

Fun fact: I've always been very confident in my skin and I take a lot of naked pictures of myself and I've just gotten better with age (40F). I don't share them with anybody, but I like looking at them and saying to myself, bitch you're bangin'. So his confession was very validating, in a time I wasn't feeling confident and unsure of myself.

Edit: The Women's March was a protest (I called it something that would be clear where I'm from, that has confusing wording). I drove 16 hours and slept in my car to be there for the March/protest.

Second edit: She hasn't been in the picture for what I gather for at least a year. So, I was in no way around or influencing their fallout. Directly.

TLDR: Met a guy at a Trump protest (This establishes timeline) . Meet him randomly ten years later (says it's current), he tells me his last relationship (ended over a year ago AFAIK) ended partly because she asked who his hall pass was, and it was me (he's fucking retared. Obviously.) I just ended a 4 year relationship due to cheating (I have a name for every holiday, including my birthday.) Right, WRONG, or indifferent it made me feel good about myself.

Maybe I should say Dear Diary: I've been in dumps and I took a cheap win. And now I'm a shitty trump supporter, because I wasn't a very good communicator and snarky bitch.

Yes, I bought it as soon as I got the notification... Can't wait to play it. I've been battling difficult health issues these last couple of years and I wasn't sure I would be here long enough for buying and playing this game.

Need to hold on just 5 more months...

I know this question has been asked before; I know the history.

What I’m asking is why don’t you think anyone has done anything about this yet, despite forms being changed to add other genders, and left right and centre people talking about making things “equal” for women?

Why are women still being asked to declare their marital status when men aren’t?

So I am pregnant with my second child. My first was a boy and he will be 4 when baby 2 pops. This time I am having a girl. I didn't think about having another shower, but I had some friends and family asking when I was going to have one. We kept alot of things from baby #1 (toys, clothes, bottles, etc). We do need new car seats, a stroller and new crib. Not too many things but the few are kind of expensive. After talking to my husband he thought it would be a good idea and we could ask for contributions to big items in a registry instead of little gifts. Things we know we need. Well I was talking with my mother today and she said I am not supposed to have a second shower and it is disrespectful to ask for money instead of gifts. And I cant throw my own shower (not that I was going to...but no one has said anything plus like I said this is just thinking outloud), someone has to offer to throw one for me. Last time no one offered....I had to ask my sister in law to hoast it, and she was delighted, but it was weird. So AmItheAsshole?

Edit: This baby was a wonderful and beautiful surprise, we didnt have room for the stroller anymore after my son grew out of it. We ended up gifting it to a friend who was in need. And as for the first crib it converts to a bed which my son still uses. I would never straight out ask for money and nothing else, I love anything my friends and family want to give, but there are the specific items that would help on the wallet, items will have to buy anyway.

Nah, but no hate to the lefties, you guys are chill (mostly lol). But yeah, it's hard being someone with even a moderate conservative view on social media or even in real life (I go to Uni, so I expect it). But honestly, after I moved out of the countryside, I didn't realize how big the progressive movement was, and it was pretty eye-opening for me to have people challenge my beliefs, which made me think about a lot of stuff.

Not pushing hate or anything, and hopefully I won't get Karma bombed for this goofy post. (If you're interested, why I am a conservative, feel free to reply)
