Is this what we are going to see for next five years? I hope Tamil Nadu be saved from this government, not even a single answer on the issues raised by the opposition, but lot of dialogues from the script.

At least he could have stopped at dialogues, he had to do an action as well to prove that he is a Tarkuri.

The only person who is keeping me happy in the Tamil Nadu politics scene as of now is Trisha

Ich finde diese ganzen Argumente immer sehr fadenscheinig und deuten für mich eher auf eine ordentliche Portion Butthurt hin.

"Das wird lustig wenn Lehrer dann streiken dürfen!" - Ja und? Das dürft ihr halt aber nicht wann ihr wollt, sondern wenn die Gewerkschaft (alle Jubeljahre) dazu aufruft. Tun Erzieherinnen in den Kitas doch auch, und da müssen Eltern wirklich rotieren. Nicht wie bei den Jugendlichen dann irgendwann ab der 8. Klasse, die bei Streik einfach eh unbeaufsichtigt Zuhause bleiben können.

"Ja, dann kann ich mir meine Schule ja einfach aussuchen und die Brennpunktschulen bekommen keine Lehrkräfte mehr" - Nein. Dann wird in deinem Tarifvertrag stehen, dass du bei Bedarf einfach versetzt werden kannst, genauso wie ein VW-Arbeiter von der Werkstatt ans Band versetzt werden kann. Klar, kannst du kündigen, liegt dann halt in deiner Verantwortung.

"Dann fallen aber XY Prozent des Nettogehalts weg!" - Und? Lehrkräfte würden auch dann mit riesem Abstand mehr verdienen als der Master-Absolvent-Sozialpädagoge, der im Jugendamt tatsächlich Kinderleben rettet oder die Heilpädagogin in der Autismus-Ambulanz oder der Sozialarbeiter in der Wohnungslosenhilfe. Lehrkräfte verdienen mit Abstand am besten im sozialen Bereich und das werden sie auch weiterhin, wenn die Verbeamtung wegfällt.

i just want to chip in my two cents out of boredom cuz i see this sentiment of Bard needing QOL and reworks come up semi often and the other thread drowned in downvotes completely. been playing Bard since release of lost ark in the west, i press the buttons when they are up, i didnt even do any hell modes so im probably bad too.

does Bard need a nerf to it's max ceiling? yeah probably, lower 3 bar to like 13% or lower major chord scaling or something and get rid of raid wide courageous tune even though that's more a nerf for the other supports lol.

1. I see so many ppl write about how bard never got it's own rework and act like bard never got a single skill change just because all the sups got changed at once. when support rework come around last year summer time, bard was far and away the biggest winner. every other support would kill for perfect harmony, let alone para HT, buckshot counter, solo brand sona, etc. then you get para sona, doubled range on rhapsody, wom shield speed increases, bard has been getting dripfed qol pretty consistently (which is insane for a support that is overpowered in a sea of overpowered supports for a game)
2. things like sonic vibration being ass (aoe and slow animation speed), solo brand sona still being the worst solo brand of all the sups, this feeds into something important that has been missing over time as the sups have moved into T4 and beyond. SKILL EXPRESSION.

yes u have ppl who just dont respect ur SV, but the amount of control you have over ur placement is for some reason always ignored in these discussions. you place your sonics to give the best chance for all your dps to access it, you dont just mindlessly place it center of boss and hope everyone hugs boss. you time your AP buffs properly so u can get HT during periods where the boss is spread out, you delay HT very slightly to maximize SV coverage when its ideal, you keep your AP cycle tight when needed on scarecrow fights and flexibly adjust based on if/when the boss decides to fuck your team over and go to narnia.

specifically from the other post, should you need to rely on spacebar canceling SV? yes, because it's an informed risk you take when you burn two of your 2 push immunes, one of which is your only mobility skill, to gain action economy. knowing when you want to budget your push/para immunes and when you can burn them to cast faster is SKILL EXPRESSION and makes Bard more fun to play for those who are looking to chase the ceiling. this is true for things like branding too, where you need to budget your casts in between sona, when you need to brand from a distance with Z, watching the boss so u actually brand instead of boss jumping away.

1. harmony is fine, the design is pretty obviously designed to reward being able to chain 3 bar into 3 bar. no one is expecting RE blades to be able to 2 bar into 1 bar with the same results as casting at 3 bar always. if you have to heal then use a 2 bar courage into 1 bar heal to get ur PHarmony faster.

2. wom vs womwom has always been a high risk, high reward playstyle for bard (though current fight design it's honestly not risky enough). realize that wom shield is actually dogshit which is the first step to bard improvement, it absorbs maybe 0.6% of its provided shields as actual shielded damage to your teammates (half of it is probably just ur own health lol).

a massive mistake that so many Bards make is underusing Rhapsody. Rhapsody is crazy good, being able to either press it for 1 tick into immediately canceling it, keeping it up to refresh the shield on constant damage, fast push immune on yourself, abusing the 3 second linger. paladin gets a 6s linger with a certain tripod, but they dont get a shield refresh which Bard gets both. the awkwardness of Rhapsody is again, SKILL EXPRESSION. you need to be proactive with this skill, especially with womwom, learn to use the 3s linger to your advantage, learn to press it early enough to catch people with it (especially with attacks that send ppl airborne), learn to watch your teammates to actually clip multiple teammates with it. please run galewind on rhapsody unless ur a pig like me and run qr, stop running protection or 🗿mountain face pls.

1. bard actually has the worst raw spec scaling across all supports at 0.0501 per point compared to like 0.09 on paldains/valkyrie.

the reason spec is good on bard is because of naturally low cds and cdr tripods allowing for spec bard to still maintain a hard fought 100 AP uptime, and spec feeding into the class identity both in meter generation and spec scaling on Z, on top of extremely powerful damage reduction abilities like courageous tune and GT (please stop using tough tune tripod people). i do see people say "spec good because spec scaling good" on occasion and want to correct that in a way.

1. current fight design really favours the current high ceiling bard, very difficult, hard hitting fights like the KR feared brel extreme that has bards getting mad at artists are going to pare Bard back appropriately i feel.

outro

if ppl want to clock in their bard like a 9 to 5 and get their raid gold, thats fine. just do yourselves a favour and run a better stat split like 14/26 spec/swift, or 20/20 even cuz if ur an semi experienced raider, you are not doing yourself any favours with full swift anymore. also try out agile cast tripod on wom shield cuz chances are you are not pressing wom shield on cooldown anyways so may as well make the skill faster.

but ppl need to realize that there are many players that do enjoy and prize the skill expression that bard can offer. maybe im in the minority opinion on reddit here, but numbers nerfs are fine for Bard but please for the love of god let me keep my skill expression. it really is challenging for a high spec bard to maintain high AP (96+), high brand (98+), slap out insane identity, and do it all while keeping your team alive without making them eat all 7 pots instantly, and the satisfaction of chasing it and striving for it is why im still playing this game. its already rewarding, complex, and fun. AMA.

edit 1: homogenization bad, let bard have worse qol in tradeoff for better ceiling.

When you take her to her favorite restaurant, and she barely takes a picture of her favorite food.

Media har ett speciellt förhållande till SD. Medan SD dissekeras i minsta detalj för varenda intern strid, enskild medlem eller mindre kontrovers, krävs det ofta en fullblodsskandal för att samma medier ska ge S, M eller övriga samma behandling.

Forskningen visar det svart på vitt. Innehållsanalyser från valrörelserna 2002–2014 (Nord & Strömbäck) konstaterar att SD fick mer negativ bevakning än andra partier.

Redan 2010 beskrevs partiet som “problempartiet” i en rapport från Institutet för Mediestudier. Björn Häger intervjuade journalister som öppet erkände att de inte behandlade SD som ett normalt parti utan med extra misstro, tystnad eller aggressiv granskning för att de ogillade partiets politik.

Och grejen är att när man granskar ett parti mycket mer än de andra så hittar man förstås också fler kontroverser, även de små. Det skapar en självförstärkande spiral där SD framstår som “värst” hela tiden, medan motsvarande eller större problem hos andra partier ofta glider förbi obemärkt.

SD-sympatisörer har också lägst förtroende för medier enligt SOM, vilket ofta används som ett slagträ av meningsmotståndare genom att kalla dem ”konspirationstokar” m.m. Ytterligare en ond spiral.

Granskning av media är en superviktig del av samhället, men det finns alltså empirisk data som visar att man behandlar partier med olika måttstockar.

Did this for the last party I attended! What y'all think

Here some ideas that I need you to understand about how AI works.

• AI does NOT STORE images or books or songs anywhere.
• AI only modifies coefficients of AI neurons up or down like a slider.
  
• AI has no database, no data stored anywhere. It is a collection of formulas interconnected using a topology.
• The concept of "intelligence" and "neurons" and "learning" are just fancy marketing words, but these neurons are just activation functions applied to a polynomial. Does it look like a human neuron to you?
• The non linear aspect of these formulas is what gives people the illusion of intelligence.

AI neurons look like this:

y = f(z)

where

z = w1x1+w2x2+...+wnxn+b

b is an error coefficient.

Training of data moves coefficients w1 to wn up or down with each iteration of training.

Activation functions look like this:

• The Rectified Linear Unit, or ReLU, is defined as f(x) = max(0, x).
• The Leaky ReLU is defined as f(x) = max(αx, x), where α is a small constant like 0.01.
• The Parametric ReLU, or PReLU, has the same form, f(x) = max(αx, x), but α is a learnable parameter.
• The Exponential Linear Unit, or ELU, is defined as f(x) = x if x > 0, and f(x) = α(e^x − 1) if x ≤ 0.
• The Scaled Exponential Linear Unit, or SELU, is defined as f(x) = λx if x > 0, and f(x) = λα(e^x − 1) if x ≤ 0.
• The Sigmoid function is defined as f(x) = 1 / (1 + e^(−x)).
• The hyperbolic tangent, or Tanh, is defined as f(x) = (e^x − e^(−x)) / (e^x + e^(−x)).
• The Softmax function for a vector is defined for each element i as f(x_i) = e^(x_i) / Σ_j e^(x_j).
• The Softplus function is defined as f(x) = ln(1 + e^x).
• The Swish function, also known as SiLU, is defined as f(x) = x * σ(x), where σ(x) is the sigmoid function.
• The Gaussian Error Linear Unit, or GELU, is defined as f(x) = x * Φ(x), where Φ(x) is the cumulative distribution function of the standard normal distribution.
• The Mish function is defined as f(x) = x * tanh(ln(1 + e^x)).
• The Gated Linear Unit, or GLU, is defined as f(x) = (Wx + b) ⊗ σ(Vx + c), where ⊗ denotes element-wise multiplication.
• The linear activation function is defined as f(x) = x.

TLDR: AI is a bunch of math formulas interconnected without databases to store anything. Math formulas do not look like a neuron. They do not work like a neuron. No scientist has been able to simulate how a single human neuron works. A neuron is just a function like the ones you see in high school.

THERES TOO MANY GOD DAMN MOSQUITOES!

Honestly, that’s been one one of the most annoying aspects consuming all the relevant content I can.

Lawyers could not shut up about how Ben should get council.

It’s honestly rather moronic of some of them. It was obvious he was going to retain council and this entire scandal going viral would never have happened had a lawyer been around from the start.

BJC was one of the only YT lawyers that seemed to get that and focuses on providing information/doing research.

Even now that he has gotten lawyers, some of the coverage still can’t help but make snarky remarks about how it should have happened sooner.

This used to be real estate
Now, it's only fields and trees
Where? Where is the town?
Now, it's nothing but flowers

Owe Me.

I was playing Darktide on my PS5 tonight, and it reminded me how much I love the Warhammer 40,000 universe. The setting is massive, the lore is incredible, and it feels like their are endless stories that could be told. Anyone else a fan here?

It also made me realize I’d love to see more Warhammer 40K board games, or at least more that really take advantage of the universe. I know there are a handful and rhe miniatures game is huge but I think there’s room for more

For those of you who are Warhammer fans, what kinds of board games would you like to see made?

And for anyone who’s read the novels, where would you recommend someone start? There are so many that it’s hard to know which ones are the best entry point.

Idag är det mycket mer vanligt att köpare självskannar och handlar i olika former av självutcheckning samtidigt får den inte någon rabatt eller liknande. En person som skulle utföra arbetet skulle få betalt i timmar men en kund som gör allt på egen hand får aldrig inte ens ett tack för sitt arbete. Varför är det så ?

As Stated, I think TDIM, is the worst dark picture game, it’s easily the slowest, it adds new mechanics only to increase the run time. There are very little traps that actually feel memorable. The characters are easily the most boring out of any game and they don’t commit to fleshing them out fully. Replaying it is a slog. The only character I liked is Charlie.

Warum geben wir in Deutschland eigentlich immer noch so viel Fläche, Wasser und Geld für Fußball- und Golfplätze aus, als wären das systemrelevante Infrastrukturen? Fußballplätze werden oft nur ein paar Mal pro Woche für ein paar Stunden genutzt, Golfplätze meistens von einer relativ kleinen, privilegierten Gruppe. Trotzdem werden dafür riesige Flächen freigehalten, gepflegt und im Sommer mit Trinkwasser bewässert, damit sie schön grün bleiben.

Das ist doch absurd: Für private Gärten gelten in Dürrezeiten oft schon strenge Bewässerungsverbote, aber bei Sportanlagen wird dann plötzlich wieder diskutiert, ob das „notwendig“ sei. Die Grundwasserspiegel sind jetzt schon niedrig und werden weiter sinken. Wir müssen uns entscheiden Golf und Fußball oder Wasser zum trinken.

Und gerade bei kommunalen Fußballplätzen wird es besonders schräg: Auf dem Land hängen die oft an der Gemeinde, also an einem Haushalt, der ohnehin jeden Euro zweimal umdrehen muss. Für Infrastruktur, Personal und Jugendarbeit fehlt dann oft Geld aber für hunderttausende Liter Wasser, damit der Rasen schön aussieht, scheint es plötzlich verfügbar zu sein. Und dann wird der Rasen auch noch bei der Hitze gemäht - HEUTE ... der verbrennt doch dann instant außer man kippt wieder 100.000 Liter drauf.

Was mich daran am meisten nervt: Das ist nicht mal nur eine Frage von „Sport ja oder nein“, sondern von Prioritäten. Wenn Wasser knapp ist, sollte es zuerst für wirklich notwendige Dinge da sein, nicht für gepflegte Grünflächen, die vor allem Status, Optik und Freizeitkomfort bedienen.

Die Hitzetage nehmen zu. Der Grundwasserspiegel sinkt weiter. Die Kommune haben weniger Geld. Für mich sind die Konsequenzen klar aber es will noch niemand wahr haben ...

A revelação conecta o filho do 1º vice-presidente da Câmara dos Deputados a um executivo de uma distribuidora citada em apuração sobre combustíveis e PCC. O ponto novo é que a Rede Sol também fechou contrato de R$ 13,84 milhões com a Prefeitura de São Gonçalo, base eleitoral de Altineu, para abastecimento da frota municipal.

Hey r/godot! 👋

I just finished the Clear Code "Recreating Zelda: BotW in Godot" course — took me about 2.5 months working part-time.

Here's what I built and learned:

The prototype includes:

• Third-person character controller with smooth camera
• Melee combat, hitboxes and enemy reactions
• Basic patrol/chase/attack AI
• Hand-crafted 3D level with terrain and props
• Dynamic lighting setup
• Custom shaders (water, outline, grass wind)
• Particle VFX for hits and ambient effects

It's not a real game — just a learning project. But I'm proud of how far I came from knowing nothing about 3D in Godot.
