Bad guys from batman

I made a thread yesterday about how we can discern innocent people from guilty people. The post was removed. The moderators of THIS FORUM will not even allow a constructive discussion. This is pure evil. Everyone responsible for this needs to be held accountable. What the moderators of this forum have done was an act of extremely bad faith. Our patience and trust are truly broken. The end of discussion is war. By doing this these people are now advertising themselves as criminals, terrorists, and oppressive despots. By silencing civil discussion they are provoking violence. I will not give them what they want. They will have to martyr me.
Unless they intend on putting us in camps and assassinating us in our own homes, I suggest they open the negotiation table to maintain peace and democracy. Otherwise the only logical outcome would be oppression by regimes resembling Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia.
Perhaps they always saw us as enemies and only now are they bold enough to let us know for certain without reservation.
The kinds of people who run reddit are MaxwellHill types. Criminals in charge of their own investigations. I am endangering myself by peacefully protesting them with the truth, and a commitment to dialogue, but they can only make a martyr out of me and people like me. Perhaps you who is reading this. They leave no room for context, no room for grievance, no room for discussion. They want it their way and they say "to hell with ethics; to hell with YOU."

Before anyone tells me to get out as fast as I can, I am. I'm waiting till 18 to avoid drama.
Me and my dad have a very strained relationship. His idea of discipline was abuse. Beatings with a whip, pulling my hair, he even dislocated my finger at some point, broke a broom over my leg, and screaming. He slapped me across my face before because I went too fast on the ATV. I almost committed suicide on my brother's birthday but for religious reasons, I didn't.
I only respond to him when I have to, I keep it short, and I avoid touching him at all costs because a part of me just revolts at the thought of physical contact with that man. I haven't told him I love him or hugged him and meant it in a long time just because it feels like a lie.
He's also toxic to my mom, and a giant loud emotional man baby thats way too hyper. I do love my mom, and I like to be around her. I stress her out sometimes, but I feel bad when I do because she's the only one I love.
Now my parents recently bought a 600 acre property. Its large and spacious, has a mountain, and lots and lots of fields. It's nice in the summer i guess, but its an hour from everyone and everything.
My dad is a conspiracy theorist. He's afraid that people are going to come after us and shoot us, so he's building a house up hiding in the trees where no one can see us. The ugly wooded part, keep in mind. Its dead and dusty and surrounded with animal bones and rocks.
He wants me to work here on the ranch for the rest of my life, get married here, and have a house here, and raise my kids here.
The problem is, I'm a city girl thats based around friends and cars and buildings. I like the comfort of people being nearby. And friends there for me. Isolation is my nightmare.
My dad is threatening to sign me out of the will and send me away if I dont want to live here. He screams at my mom when she offers for me to get a job, says he wont allow me to be a slave. I understand he loves me and stuff, but the way he shows it I absolutely hate because of how toxic he is.
Another thing is, I dont do school at all. I'm supposively homeschooled. But honestly, Im more of a middle school drop out because I "graduated" in 8th grade. "school is brainwashing and I dont need it because Im a woman, women have never accomplished anything in school, Im better off staying home as a stay at home mom." Hes having me tutor my brothers because my mom is too busy to teach them anything, so Im the teacher. My brothers are failing.
I feel trapped. My dad is setting me up to live on this ranch as a farm wife and thats it. I want a job and a life outside of cows and grass and horse shit.
I just want to rent a house with my friends and have fun, figure out what I'm going to do with myself until I get married. I don't want to grow up at the age of 14. I'm so tired.

In the Manual it says that the F-1 New can shoot without battery from speeds 1/2000s to 1/125s. My Canon doesn’t do anything without Battery. Do you know a fix or what’s going on? Thank you guy’s

Is there a more in-depth guide for AWS customers trying to move or go multi-cloud to GCP in terms of pound for pound for services with their native limitations.
I don’t mean the guide on Google that just names the corresponding AWS and Azure service.
Secondly, what do you guys think is the future for GCP and what’s stopping it from taking a bigger chunk of the cloud market share?

Hey looking for a little help…
Started having symptoms back in January. Was mostly chest pain at first, so saw my GI and did an endoscopy. It came back normal, so was a little confusing…I’m also on 40mg PPI every morning from GERD in the past.
Next thing that happened was my gallbladder failed. I had the classic gallbladder pains, and had a HIDA/ultrasound confirm that it was bad.
Had this removed over a month ago thinking this might solve it all, but not in the slightest.
Now, my middle back hurts 24/7 and it’s not muscular. It hurts more after I eat, to the point it is really debilitating sometimes. The pain will go to my left abdominal occasionally if it’s bad and I feel some pinching/stabbing pain.
I know this isn’t the traditional symptoms and I’ve never had an acute attack, but maybe this could be some chronic pancreatitis?
I’ve had a CT scan and it came back clean, but I’ve seen where that is not the best test, so I’m pushing my GI to get me an EUS soon.
My lipase/amylase were in normal range, but on the lower side.
The back pain is on the left side between the shoulder blades and is constantly nagging me. Within minutes of eating, it gets worse, and I’m eating 6 meals a day trying to get my daily calories in with healthy food. It’s a battle getting to 2000 calories a day without pushing the pain up higher..
I’m 28 years old as well, and have been a weekend drinker since college where I’ll have probably 15-20 drinks a week, but not during the week as much usually.

I’m super worried all my home appliances will fry and my house will burn down from an electrical fire. Are my concerns founded? Or should I pop a Xanax and chill the catastrophizing out a little?? I could really use some perspective and good advice. If not already obvious, my electrical knowledge goes to the extent of plugging the metal part into the two holes in the wall.
Quick story time: The appliance guy came by and repaired our dryer again today. It still physically cycles, but doesn’t heat up so the clothes aren’t getting dried. He repaired it last week but during the first use after the initial repair, it stopped heating again. While he repaired the damaged dryer part again; when he checked the dryer outlet with a multimeter, he was getting readings between 325-375v. The dryer outlet is supposed to be at 240v. Seeing the readings were really high on the dryer outlet, the appliance guy checked an outlet in the living room away from the laundry room to see if the problem is pervasive in other areas of the house. The living room outlet readings were 175v in an outlet that is only supposed be 120v.
The repairman suggested I call the electric company to report the high voltages as it is likely a transformer issue or some other problem on their end. He advised not to use the dryer until the voltage problem gets resolved; otherwise he’ll be right back here fixing the dryer again. I followed his suggestion and called my local electric company to report the issue. The electric company customer service representative said I need to call an electrician to get the high voltage issue fixed. He said depending on what the electrician reports back, the electric company will send one of their employees to check the voltage on the outside of the house.
While on the phone, I asked the representative if it is safe to continue using the electricity in the house. The representative said if the outlets in the house are really running as high as reported by the repairman, then the breakers should have flipped and turned the electricity off on the overloaded outlets. Since it has not done so, he said there may be something not working on the breaker box and said we should treat this situation as an emergency. Does any of this ring true or make any sense???
I really have no idea on the cause of this sudden increase of voltage on the outlets. I haven’t purchased any electric-heavy appliances nor increased any activity outside of the ordinary. The dryer has been the most obvious symptom; however, my has been complaining about the gaming console system in the living room overheating and shutting down after using it. This problem has been ongoing for approximately two weeks - around the time the dryer’s heating component started having issues, though to be honest I don’t know if correlation equals causation in the case of the poor beleaguered PlayStation. I haven’t noticed any changes with the lighting or other electronic devices in the house.
I am desperately seeking a sanity check. The more I google, the more I have the electrical equivalent of terminal cancer. In abundance of caution, we plan to refrain from using the dryer, using only essential home appliances such as the refrigerator, and minimizing the usage of any wall outlets at least until I can get an electrician in to take a look. Responsible actions or behavior of an overly anxious shut-in?

Hey all,
28 y/o male in Alberta here. Made some bad decisions ignoring debt when I was 20/21. Used to be with RBC. They were good but I burned myself, I take full accountability for dumb choices I made previously.
Have been banking with Scotiabank since 2016, no credit with them, just chequing and savings accounts.
Long story short, I had 1 remaining delinquent written off account in my name last April. I went to Scotiabank to apply for some credit. They seen this account on my bureau. It was for $400 in 2016. $737 now owed due to interest. I’ve had bad credit long enough because of my 1.5 bad years that I know what’s what. I know that if I ignored this old statute barred debt alone for 8 more months, it would’ve been cleared from my bureau because of the 6 year law. The rule is 6 years from date of last activity, paid or not. I didn’t make the rule, I’ve just seen it first hand a few times.
However, Scotia told me at this time they could not provide credit with this on my account. They asked me to pay it (restarting the 6 year clock) and provide them a release letter, then they would push my application through. Keep in mind this is for $15,000 line of credit. No other debt, $100,000 salary employed. 2 clean credit cards, 5 years clean payment history, 2 previous vehicle loans completely paid off with no missed payments. Then they denied the application.
Fast forward 1 year to now, attempted to obtain the same credit. Same exact story.
Scotiabank is the reason I have to live with this old (paid) delinquent account now for the next 5 years.
Does anybody who has ever been in a similar situation have a recommendation for a bank/credit union that will actually respect my current and recent credit history and provide credit?
Is this Scotia being prudes or am I out of touch here?

I had an iPhone 5s long time ago and i jailbroke it. It was a lot of fun and i had a lot of fun tweaks. I want to buy an older iphone from eBay to jailbreak it. What would you guys recommend?

As a self taught I still consider myself a beginner even after a year of learning (there were lots of mistakes and wrong paths I followed but I am finally getting the basis). As I am always looking for new tips and lessons, I came across this video by Uncle Ben Eller: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htfZjiwibWE where he talks about how some students spend too much time just practicing but never playing guitar and how important it is to just try to play along with the songs you like.
This is one of the things that I was avoiding in my daily playing because I never felt ready to play actual songs. I felt like I needed to practice chord changes and scales a little more. But I decided to try it. I started with a song I have been listening for years - Ain't talkin' 'bout love by Van Halen. I watched some quick lessons to get the chords and then put the actual song on youtube.
And it was... Very frustrating. The song seemed so fast I could not even change from a simple A minor to a G. But somehow, I liked it. It was fun. After a few tries, I realised that by extremely sloppy chord changes were not as bad anymore. Don't get me wrong, they are still terrible but I feel some improvement already. It's not magic, of course. I think it's just that, the rhythm of the song make you try to think ahead. Maybe? I don't know hahaha.
I just wanted more people to try it and see what they get from this. Learn the chords of the song you want to play (don't need to learn every single section and solo. Don't start on level hard) and try to play along with it a few times. See how you feel.

I am struggling so bad right now. As the title says. I was made redundant about month ago now. Basically the company I was working for went out of business suddenly with no warning at all. The owner has done a runner on us as she owes 200k in rent for the business but that's not all. She also owes millions. Yes millions. To the tax office. I'm owed thousands, roughly 5k from my employer but I doub't I'll be getting it as she's nowhere to be seen. I've been back and forth with the fair work ombudsman only to be told that the issue is too complex for them to deal with.
I have $0 in my account. I'm struggling to find work. And I'm also not in my home country (I moved to Australia almost 4 years ago) and so I don't receive any kind of financial help. I have no family to turn to. I'm here on my own.
For the last week I've been eating nothing but bread and it's honestly starting to make me feel sick. Today I just used up the last of my dogs food. I'm begging for anything. Whether food for me or for my dog. My dog means the absolute world to me and I can not see her go hungry.
I've finally managed to set up my uber eats account so I can deliver but I'm almost out of gas. So even if I could get some gas money so I can start delivering and making some money that way would be amazing. Just anything. Im so lost right now. Since I moved here almost 4 years ago it's been nothing but bad luck for me.
I'm happy to show news articles that prove and explain my work situation if you like. I can pm you. I just really need some help.
Thank you.

I signed up for pre sale info, the only thing I got was my unique NBTID. I thought this was supposed to be the pre sale code. I never received any other email for a pre sale code. Just curious where y’all got yours from.

I have four days left to hand in my final project for school. I have to paint three big paintings and make one more art project. My canvas are covered, painting elements somehow sketched. For the second project I kind of know how and what to do but I’ve barely started doing it. I feel so burned out as I have been working on it for months. They both are very personal and emotional for me. Im trying to prove to myself that I can at least make a good painting before leaving this school and second project is very meaningful for me so im quite stressed and anxious about those. I feel so discouraged from working on them, I just cant. . When I start to paint, everything seems to go wrong, it takes me hours to paint simple things. I cant objectively judge what im doing as I just feel that this is too bad. I get up in the morning, start painting, I can paint all day and still I can not finish it nor it feels like im moving really forward. If I dont finish these things I won’t graduate (theoretically there’s second term but just the thought of having to worry about and work on them for next 3 months makes me sick). I feel like I should get rest to set myself in more optimum state in which I would be working more efficiently and without the hatred towards it that I feel now. But at the same time I feel like I can not rest because I have so little time. Is there some way to reboot my brain, somehow relax and get myself in a better state, so that I can actually work on these things without getting so fed up with them?

Two nights ago I was scrolling through my Xbox game library, bored out of my mind, and decided to fire up fallout 4. I have 2 very thorough play throughs of this game, but I made it a whole 5 minutes before just thinking to myself “this game kinda sucks”. Fast forward to yesterday afternoon where I’m once again scrolling through my library and decide to fire up my Level 46 guy named “yeet yeet skeet skeet” on New Vegas. I realized I hadn’t done the dead money DLC on this play through I kinda forgot about for the past 4 years.
And damn. Like I know this probably isn’t a hot take on this subreddit but jeez Louise the comparison in quality of story, weapons, etc between FO4 and FNV is just kinda depressing because of the obvious leap backwards there is. And no I have not played 76, nor do I intend to. It just seems… too silly from the outside to even pick it up…
But anyway, people that play these games way more than me, be honest. Am I just some old man wagging his fist at the youths of today complaining about the good old days, or is the future of this franchise just not looking fun?

I’m super worried all my home appliances will fry and my house will burn down from an electrical fire. Are my concerns founded? Or should I pop a Xanax and chill the catastrophizing out a little??

Hello, longtime lurker here, sorry to interrupt from all the incredible works of art. Never thought my first reddit post would be something like this, but unfortunately, many circumstances have led to this moment. I am here to warn the E7 community about the player Amaterasu79 (Kalas on Discord), who has been harassing me for months. Full DM proof of his harassment is shown at the end of this post.
During the start of the guild war preseason, Amaterasu joined Parabellum after leaving his old guild Kyoto. I do not know the exact details, but from what I have heard, he left the guild voluntarily after some drama with a woman. For context, I am also a woman. The day he joined the PB discord, he came straight into my DMs to inquire about the guild and get to know the members. At this point in time, I was no longer in PB, but was still a constant presence in the PB discord. We chatted occasionally, as I was more than happy to ease his transition into the guild and answer whatever questions about PB he may have had. Eventually, I taught him how to use Fribbels and he gave me some advice in RTA. Well, this is where things went sideways.
After I taught him Fribbels, this guy became completely attached to me. He was constantly bothering me about PB as if I was an officer. Constantly asking me to come back to the guild. Constantly asking me to do his arena. Constantly asking me to RTA. Constantly pressuring me to give him my account so he could do my RTA/dailies/arena/etc. Constantly mentioning how he liked me, had a lot of respect for me, and that I was the best person he's ever met online.
He asked me to look at his Fribbels builds one day. I agreed, but the time was never specified. Since it was my day off, I decided to sleep in and notified him that I would be free that day, but was not sure what time I would be waking up. Well, when I did finally wake up, this guy completely lost it. He was so upset I woke up late that he tried to gaslight me by saying it was my fault that he wouldn't be able to show me his builds on Fribbels. He wanted to stream with me so bad but it was too late for him now (we're in different timezones) and that he was going to bed (he stayed online for 3-4 hours after we had this argument). This argument went on to the next day because he couldn't let it go.
I flipped out on him. Told him he was being childish and immature and to grow up if he couldn't act like an adult. He typed up a whole fake apology to this while still victimizing himself, saying that it's fine if I didn't feel bad about missing out on checking his Fribbels builds even though he "was the guy who waited all day". I didn't respond. He switches topics now, deciding that it's a good idea to pester me about taking Karina into GW. I tell him no, I don't like using Karina in GW. He continues to push, claiming I have "trust issues" with him because I won't use a GW unit he recommended. Sure, whatever. He messages me again. He's not happy with a comp someone in PB took into the stronghold. I tell him I don't care. I'm not an officer. I'm not in the guild. Leave me alone.
He continues to push the matter. I block him. At this point, I am completely done with him pestering me about every little thing. The very next day, he leaves the PB discord because he is so upset that I've blocked him.
Weeks go by and I assume this matter is dead. He is still in the guild in-game and sends the officers videos to post in the discord (he is PB's fort/SH scouter). But then I get DMs from people saying that this guy has messaged them. He is so obsessed with me, he went out of his way to randomly DM people in Paladia (my current guild at the time) and Talentless to "check up on me" and my GW performance. I get shown screenshots where he messages these people pretending like him and I are still friends, even though I had blocked him weeks before.
I had a PB officer message him, telling him to leave me alone and that I will leak all our DMs to the public if he continues to pursue me. Well, recent circumstances have forced my hand. So here I am.
Please be careful of this guy. I have been harassed for months by this creep and I don't wish for anyone to go what I went through. Many people have shown me their private DMs with him and he is just incredibly unhinged and aggressive. Besides harassing women, he was pressuring people in the guild to lend them their accounts and attacking people for inting in GW. Unfortunately I cannot show these DMs just for the privacy of others, but you can find full DM proof of my story below.
Kalas has been banned from Paladia (and Kyoto, for reasons unrelated to this incident). As of this post, he is still in Parabellum. The officers have refused to kick him for reasons I am not aware of. He was re-invited back to the PB Discord after I left.

Ok this might be niche but to all the Melbourners with short haired dogs, what is your strategy in keeping your them walm when the weather turns cold? I just moved here from Queensland and the winters I'm used to never turned cold enough to have to worry about this.
I have a high energy, short haired dog who spends most of her time inside but needs a long walk a day for our collective sanity. I haven't seen her display signs of being cold yet (shivering etc) on walks but I anticipate it won't be long until she'll need some sort of get up to keep her cosy. What do you guys do with your dogs?
Will I need a dog sweater and a dog coat? Are dog booties something I'll need to invest in? What are the best places to get this sort of stuff for a reasonable price?

My last post lacked context, and so I'm here to provide some more details.
I am a tenant, challenging my LL's N12.
​

1. Old LL lives in China. Lowers my rent too much during COVID, gets stuck at under 50% of market value.
2. Old LL sells the condo to new LL (who was his sibling and Power of Attorney the entire time of the previous lease). This new LL lives in Canada.
3. New LL now says he himself (NOT family) will move into my bachelor unit which is < 500 sq feet lol.

• New LL currently lives in a suburb home, 1-hour away from my unit.
• New LL is over 35 y/o old, with a spouse. Likely has kids.

​
I want to challenge this in bad faith. What are 2 extremely solid ideas you think I should use?
Note: Please be kind and thoughtful in your response.

So what hood would look badass on a male marksman build, for reference, imagine badass as in strix from the game paladins (I think it's strix at least, I haven't played it a while, that sniper and pistol guy) And also tips on where to find the hood would be appreciated

Hi guys, I just wanted to ask if it’s true or generally like that but I’ve heard from people that if a local uni reaches out to you for an interview, its like a 60-70% chance for you to get accepted into the school as long as you don’t really fuck up the interview. Wanted to know whether it is true. Do you guys know anyone around you who got interviews with the uni and didn’t end up recieving an acceptance offer? Is that a minority or like a 50-50 chance.

Short version. February 2021 I charged $7000 to a debit card. The company was not able to obtain the $7000 from my account. They tried for two weeks.
Sent to a collections company for $7000 +$75 service fee. They sent me one letter since then stating I owed them the money and haven’t contacted me since.
I tried calling them because I have the money now and wanted to settle for less. They have told me they no longer have my debt and it’s been transferred to someone else. This someone else has not contacted me about it, ever.
No bad information has been posted to my credit report.
Should I find out who this someone else is and offer to settle with them? Should I wait until I hear from them?
Living in America. Any help is appreciated.
