Lunch place near me

Hi all, my girlfriend had her heart set on a specific car seat in a specific color but it was discontinued. The only place online I have found it is the website beluxbaby.com.
The site is kind of shady looking to me however. Has anyone used this site before that can vouch for it? Really hoping this is legit and I can order the car seat.
Thanks!

Hello,
I am in the process of fixing up my mother's S Florida house to rent out, I have about another 3-4weeks to go. Last night I created a listing on Zillow and got my first inquiry. The renter is apparently using a real estate agent to help find her places in the city my house is in and she mentioned that there would be a commission to pay the agent if she decides to rent the place from me . Is this a normal thing? If so, what is the average cost for the commission.
I am expecting a call from the agent soon but wanted to be prepared.

Ever since I first went out dressed in women's clothes, I haven't gone back to my guy clothes. I wear women's clothes all day, everyday. I go to every place I need to go dressed in women's clothes and makeup. I've gone to the mall, various stores, restaurants and more, and I've gone out with friends to places. No one has said anything rude to me or anything. No stares, no pointing or anything, literally nothing. I've gotten a few compliments on my outfit, but surprisingly no one judging me so far for how I look which is pretty cool. I don't think I wanna go back to wearing guy clothes...

I moved here over 10 years ago and it's been a blast, but my time has now come to move on.
Currently I rent a room near Queens Park/Ammex and it's a bargain at £470 a month plus bills (which rarely hits £100pm). Big sun trap garden with a view of the whole city and a bit of the sea, big kitchen/lounge and 3 really great housemates. It's a good size room for the price, I fit a small double bed, chest of drawers, clothes rail, desk and tv unit (window is the same view as the garden!) The room is unfurnished but the landlady will provide you a bed and mattress if you want one.
This sub has been great to me over the years, giving me amazing recommendations on how to get the most out of this wonderful city so I'd like to try and give something back if I can. So you get first dibs, if there is no interest though, I'll list on spareroom lol.
The house would be suited to someone who works nights, as the rest of the house do - but open to all.
I'll be moving out officially at the end of June but will be gone a bit before that so if you need to move in sooner, then I'm sure we can work something out.
Landlady will require employment reference (they will check with your employer and will call the company) but they do not charge fees for this. Deposit held in protection scheme (£470) and rent is £470 paid on the 1st of each month.
Feel free to send me a msg and tell me a bit about yourself :)
Much love x

(I'm using a throwaway account as I don't know how much interest there will be and I don't want to flood my main account)

Hey all! I made an alphabetical table with all the electrolyte mixes/drinks I’ve seen mentioned here. These are all based on their serving size, often one ‘packet’ of mix, but varying amounts of water suggested. I was pretty shocked to find almost all flavors of vitamin water have negligible amounts of electrolytes! Electrolit was difficult to get amounts, if you have the nutrition facts please share. All of these are pretty all over the place. I could probably add Zinc, as I did notice that is a fairly common one as well. If anyone would like me to add certain ingredients, notice an error, or want to add a new brand- let me know. Hope this helps with your decision on which to buy.
(Holy shit, I forgot Gatorade 😂 I’ll add it for next time.)
My personal favorite is LMNT- both for the high concentration of sodium, as well as the flavor. I usually really dislike artificial sugars but I can’t taste it at all in this one.

Context: I’ve had this friend I’ve been super close with since diapers. Her mom and my mom were best friends and we went to daycare together, grew up together, and have been best friends ever since. A month ago I de-friended her because I felt violated when she asked me if while we were hanging out I could invite a boy over, and they ended up having relations in the bed with me right next to them, not even inches away, after I made it very clear to her that if they were going to do anything I didn’t want to know, hear, or even smell it so she should just wait until I’m gone? For some more back ground, she hasn’t ever really treated me right, but because I was put in situations in the past that make me a huge pushover, and traumatic situations, I’ve let her walk all over me. I made it very clear the last time we hung out that she isn’t allowed to do that stuff around me. She did it anyways and made my safe space into a place I felt uncomfortable and violated in. I blocked her and she texted me a week or two later saying that it was unconsensual, but I know it isn’t because she did it the first time and then invited him over to do it again the next day right next to me, and if it was unconsensual, why wouldn’t she say something to me while I was right next to her.

Hi internet moms, my name is Rose, and I just need a little bit of love from you all this week. This week has been one of my life's most grueling, challenging, and difficult weeks. I am currently dealing with three situations: 1. Moving out of my current apartment: I was renting out an apartment with two roommates that I absolutely did not like. I had to ask them when to shower, ask them when to bring friends over, and I was only able to bring my partner over. They did not do the same for me. I thought they were going to take me to small claims court to get their rent for next month as I did not get a 30 days notice. They did not offer me any changes to their behavior, but luckily I found someone to take over my portion of the rent, who is very nice. However, I did tell her that one downside of the apartment was that I did not like my roommates, and now I am worried that they are talking about me behind my back and influencing a negative opinion of me on my sublease. 2. Moving into a new apartment: On top of high rent, the person I am attempting to rent (sublease) a studio from charged me alot for furniture. He disclosed to me that parking is pretty cheap a month for the area we lived in and that utilities were included. After I paid off the first month completely, he then told me that the internet was not included and asked me what to do. When I told him that I wish he were transparent with me about bills before I paid, he simply told me the name of the company rather than apologizing or offering any solutions. On top of that, the studio has a bunch of hair on the furniture, mold on the bathroom, though its still a nice place, but it will take a bit to convert it into a habitable living situation. My boyfriend who I am moving in with has not been the most helpful with helping me with these communications. 2a. The apartment manager at the studio got mad at me for negotiating the rent with him this week. The rent for two people is a lot higher than it is for one and I wanted to haggle it down. He simply said, I have a guest over right now, I don't want to negotiate. Let's talk Tuesday or Wednesday, thanks. And he hung up. That made me feel incredibly worthless. Additionally, he told the person I am attempting to rent from now that he is getting a good deal "I'm making a lot of money off of two people... not bad," the exact text he gave to the current person living there, which made me feel pretty icky. People only see me as money bags and nothing else. 3. Yesterday as I was finishing up moving from current apartment to studio, I drove home and a cop gave me a speeding ticket. I didn't know I was getting pulled over so he was really rude to me. When he pulled me over he said, "man that was really tough for you huh?" I told him it was my first time getting pulled over. I was driving my sister's car and her insurance was expired when I gave it to him. He took off 10 miles (I was going 85 but he put 75+ on the ticket) and when he got back after 8 minutes, I was really nervous so I started crying. He told me, "I don't want you being emotional while you drive so you can stay pulled over." He said it in a way that was incredibly demeaning and I was really upset by it. Now, I am waiting in agony for the ticket to arrive in the mail. The silver lining: 1. I'm extremely poor and California is nice about ticket fees. 2. I managed to find a subleaser for my current apartment. 3. The studio is nice and I wouldn't need to avoid my roommates like last year because I hated seeing them. 4. I can get a reduction on my internet price because I'm poor. Thank you for reading through this, I am such a mess right now.

Bonjour ou Bonsoir à tous
Je vous préviens le témoignage que je vais écrire sera très long (je m'excuse pas avance pour les fautes d'orthographe) bonne lecture.
Il y a plusieurs semaines, j'ai rencontré un homme (H41Dont on a 11 ans écart) on va l'appeler Gaston via une application du nom "Frimake" pour faire des sortie. Il avait proposé un événement au Kilowatt à Vitry-sur-Seine dans le 94400. Le Samedi 15 avril 2023 pour le festival " United Rockerz" un festival Punk en majorité avec un peu de métal industriel. Dont il était supposé être accompagné de 3 autres personnes.
Le RDV avait lieu devant l'entrée du festival à 18h. Mais au final, je suis rentrée et j'ai envoyé des SMS, j'apprends qu'il aura un retard de 1h et il s'excuse. (Personnellement, je prends ça pour un mauvais point, à ce moment là je me suis dit "ah, ça commence bien". Le mec ne préviens pas de son retard, c'est moi qui prend l'initiative de le prévenir que je le vois pas et c'est lui qui à fixer l'horaire, j'admets aussi que dans un sens ça m'arranger pour me repoudrer le nez. Enfin bref !)
En attendant j'en profite pour manger un super croque Monsieur végétarien + une salade (bien épais et généreux de fromage, noix, chèvre, miel, c'était trop bon. D'ailleurs faudrait que je trouve la recette tiens). Une fois mangé, bu et vu quelques artistes. Je renvoie un autre message, il est en route et j'apprends que au final ils ne seront que deux. Il arrive avec 1h20 de retard en tout. Ont se donne RDV devant la buvette. (Je cherche du regard et je précise que je porte des bottes rose, car oui le temps était légèrement pluvieux par moment).
On se saluent, au final on était 3, lui, moi et son pote (son amis était super sympa, marrant et chaleureux), ont discute de tout et de rien tout en allant à des scènes et parfois ont se séparaient pour se retrouvé à plusieurs repris. Au cours de la soirée, il y avait des choses que j'appréciais comme par exemple le fait qui passait sa main sur mes hanches ou me serrais très fort contre son torse ou d'autres fois me tenais la main pendant de longue minute. La soirée se passe bien, mais j'admets que j'étais un peu inquiète par rapport au horaire de bus, car ça se termine à 2h du matin.
Petit à petit vers la fin de soirée il insiste de plus en plus pour que je dors chez lui (honnêtement, j'étais pas très chaude de me dire concrètement, je vais dormir chez un inconnu que j'ai fait connaissance + on va pas ce mentir, penser aux histoires chelou qui se passe très tard la nuit en particulier quand on est une femme seule). Ont marchent vers l'arrêt de bus le plus proche, heureusement tout ce passe bien, ont discutent avec d'autres personnes qui étaient eux aussi au festival. Le trajet ce passe bien, les débats sont rigolo et animée à 2h du matin surtout quand ça parlent de politique (lol). Puis ont loupe le dernier métro et on rentre en Uber. Une fois que tout le monde rentrent.
C'est là... Que ça commence à chauffer
Ont montent dans son appart, j'enlève mes chaussures à l'entrée et m'assoie timidement sur le canapé. Il dépose ses affaires, me propose de boire. Ont discute ont fait plus amples connaissance et je m'aperçois sans surprise qu'il est + tactile qu'au festival, mes gestes reste timide (parce que j'admets, je commençais à porter de l'intérêt pour lui malgré un mauvais début et je me suis dit que peut-être j'étais trop sévère, je mourrais d'envie de le connaitre plus amplement et m'intéresser sincèrement à lui). Il me fait un baisemain, puis recommence à plusieurs reprise accompagné de compliment et j'en fait de retour, puis m'embrasse. Je signale que j'ai sommeil, il recommence à beaucoup insister cette fois pour que je dors avec lui dans son lit, je refuse. J'explique que je trouve que c'est beaucoup trop intime (pas envie de me faire manger) et rebondi par le fait que le baiser échanger ça peut être considéré comme intime. Il insiste encore + en me prenant fort dans ses bras (l'air de rien à cet instant, je le trouvais imposant au-delà de la force) ont c'est regarder droit dans les yeux sans parler, je refuse une nouvel fois, avant de dormir il essaie de m'embrasser une nouvelle fois et je tourne la tête, ses lèvre touche mon coup. Il me dit qu'il aurais fait bien plus un câlin dans son lit, enfin j'ai pu dormir sur son canapé et lui dans son lit.
Le lendemain changement d'ambiance
Je me lève au alentours de 10h30, je repense aux festival et à la soirée me posant plein de questions en tête "Pourquoi ?" pourquoi il a fait ça, pourquoi il a fait ci, est-ce que il y a une signification à son geste ou est-ce que c'est un homme qui porte de l'intérêt pour moi ou un homme à femme tout simplement. (Moi les signaux masculin, je les captes pas ou je suis à côté de la plaque, bon bah voilà c'est dit).
Je regarde par la fenêtre depuis le canapé soudain, je le vois il me fixe. Il vient s'assoir près de moi, ont parle de la température hier car il fessait légèrement froid, j'ai avouer que j'étais tenter de le rejoindre dans son lit. Il me regarde d'un air étonné et me répond de manière ferme "Pourquoi tu m'as pas rejoins ?". J'ai répondu que j’osais pas (je me vois très mal me faufiler dans son lit pendant qu'il dort). Ont re discutent à nouveau et je vois qu'il est moins attentif, je décide partir plus tôt (car durant la soirée il m'as avouer qu'il est pas du matin). Je pars avec plein de questions en tête et un peu de tristesse par l'intérêt éphémère qu'il m'a porter. j'envoie un SMS pour le remercier de l'hospitalité et du moment passer au festival avec son amis.
Quelque jours plus tard...
Sur l'application Frimake il m'envoie des invitations dans les bars. Je réponds pas car ça tombe au mauvais moment, sauf un soir au Bar "Le Dude" le 22 avril au soir. Ont échange par SMS et je lui dit que je suis dégouter car je voulais venir avec un copain (qui n'a pas pu venir). J'ai été étonné de ça réaction, quand il m'a demander si j'avais un copain (mais je pense qu'il a compris que j'étais en couple en faite non). C'étais étrange.
Une fois à la soirée, Il y avais l’ami de Gaston qui me salut de manière chaleureusement et avec beaucoup en train. J'étais contente, je cherche Gaston du regard et je le vois. Je fut refroidi légèrement. Je m'attendais qu'il m’ accueil, il me salut en souriant légèrement sans bouger de sa place, je remarque qu'il est entourer de personne dont une majorité de femme mûre. Je souris de manière timide et gêner. Je ne sais pas si c'est l'ambiance Paris en majorité. J'ai ressenti une froideur, aucun salut, aucun regard, il y avait des groupes dispatcher de gauche à droite. Malgré cela j’essaie d'aller au-delà de ma timidité. J'aborde un jeune homme assis à côté de moi, lui demandant si je peux me joindre à eux malheureusement, il me répond négativement.
j'essaie de voir un autre groupe mais en vain, je suis rester quelque minute pour partir aussi tôt.
Les jours suivant je reçois d'autre invitation et j'ai intégré le groupe Whatsapp auquel il avait environ 75 membres avant et actuellement il sont plus de 100. Sur les 75 il y a environs 7 qui sont actif et comme par hasard une majorité de femmes mûres (+ 38 ans). Je poste des choses encore en vain. Honnêtement, je réfléchisais de plus en plus. Je me disais ça sert à quoi de fournir des efforts et du temps à gens qui s'en fout enfaite, même quand j’essaie de parlé des sujet que eux aborde personne me répond. Comme si j'étais invisible et c'est encore plus blessant quand en + il y a un homme auquel je commençais à porter de l'intérêt qui au final, il s'en fout lui aussi.
Du jours au lendemain j'ai quitté le groupe Whatsapp et j'ai retirer de ma liste. De toute façon, il ne porte aucun intérêt pour moi et même le fait de l'avoir ghoster ça n'a rien changer. Car je me dit, que c'est immature de faire un scandale sur le groupe Whatsapp ou de l'insulté lui ou ses potes, le mieux c'est de partir sans faire de bruit. Tan pis je peux m'en vouloir qu'à moi-même. Sur le coup ça fait mal, mais ça va mieux.
J'aimerais avoir bien avoir vos avis, sur ce que j'ai vécu car je suis curieuse. Est-ce que j'ai bien agit ou est-ce que il y a des choses que j'ai sur interpréter ou pas du tout.
Merci à vous

Literally have scrounged through facebook craigslist and everything to find a place by June 31st and I'm wavering in my avoidance of taking someone's summer sublet offer (I really do not want to move twice) Does anybody have a room they need to fill (pls not a sublet) by June 31st? My housing fell thru since my roommate found a post-grad job out of town, so basically a death wish for me in this town.
My only deal breakers are no pre-furnished places like Lark/Stateside/Elevate, close to campus or a bus line and respectful roommates so like I can make food in a usable kitchen and sleep for work/school.

I don't really want to get into the whole family dynamic in this post, but simply my parents' and my relationship has never been great. Since about 2014, my mom has started feeding into the conservative retoric and scare tactics. It feels like I don't have a mother anymore. Some key examples: -2014 during the blm protests she told me I was going to end up in prison if I hate police and go to support in solidarity, she ends up yelling at me at the diner and storming out so I payed for breakfast -2016 she says I shouldn't report my S.A. because what if he hurts himself, that will be my fault, I still report it, when he isn't found guilty I get kicked out for being too depressing to look at -2021 she tells me I'm going to get murdered when I tell her I'm going to volunteer at a children's refugee camp on the border and yells at me on the phone about how they are all criminals
Despite all this stuff, I'm doing ok. I moved out of state in 2017, and I have a working relationship with my parents. My dad and I are fine, but I swear every time I talk to my mother it's so upsetting. I spoke with them on the phone about my visit later this month. Last week one of my best friends at school broke both her ankles so her mom flew in from India to care for her. My mom said how her mother will just become a citizen since they let everyone into the country. I go to a school of 95% international graduate students. I haven't told my parents this. I'm dating a Chinese boy and he'll be in my state the same time I will be visiting so we can still hang out (he is going to visit his lab collaborators there). My parents offered to host my "friend" when I asked, but now I hesitate to introduce them. He doesn't want to lie to them about just being friends, but I worry my mother will 1) hate him because he's Chinese and caused the COVID virus to "kill Americans" and 2) think he's only in it for the green card. I feel like I'm constantly living a double life and I hate that I have to hide my friends and partner from my family. I just would hate to put my friends in a vulnerable place where they may be hated for simply existing. I just don't understand how my mom could go on an immigration rant while my friend has two broken ankles from a bad fall. It makes me so sad I just keep crying.
tl;dr: I'm a sensitive baby and my mom's insensitive tirades make me sad.

I know “escape” sounds a bit harsh, but if I described the entirety of my situation you’d absolutely want to escape this hellhole, too.
22M, I’ve been working retail on and off for the past five years. I’m finally leaving this job in a couple weeks, thankfully, but I don’t have anything lined up. I’m better off tbh, I was making peanuts and not enough to pay for the rest of school.
Went through a lot growing up, much of it is too brutal/inappropriate to describe for this sub. Long story short, I’m still stuck around the same people who put me through those rough patches. I feel like I show a false image of myself to them every day, so I wasn’t really allowed to have my own personality.
I’ve had thoughts of taking all of my shit and leaving in the middle of the night. It got to the point where I even bought the suitcases to pack up my stuff (hid them away so family doesn’t find them). The problem is, I have nowhere to go if I were to leave - but I guess that’s part of the trial and error of life’s adventures.
Perhaps I’m being young and dumb if I were to do it, though I just can’t see myself being happy if I were to stay where I currently am. Have any of you had these sort of dreams of starting life over in another place? Because the thought of doing it is tempting.
No lie, everything seems to have gotten increasingly stressful and tense since I started planning. Like they know I’m wanting to move away? I’m not sure… I need some good advice because I feel set on leaving.

Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend!
I actually wrote up a post right after the 4th palace. Then I played a bit and they dropped so much more info that I had to toss it. Tomorrow is the trip to Hawaii so I thought this was a good point to stop and make another round of predictions.
The 4th palace is my favorite so far. There was so much symbolism to look into and I really liked the whole cursed gem bit. The end boss was a little annoying.
Things are really picking up pace. I had so many questions that were answered like 20 min later. They're really starting reveal some important details.
This is what I have as of now. In addition to my way off predictions there are also a few bits of info I'm that I'm not sure how they fit yet and some general impressions. I tried to keep it short (I failed).
Please no spoilers for any of the Persona games. This is my first and I plan on picking up 3/4.

​
Futaba/Alibaba and somehow Morgana

• The squid girl from the movie finally gets a name.
• Futaba's mom is the curry lady (Wakaba)!
• the phone call Sojiro had about a printer not being the right one makes soooo much sense now. I knew he was taking care of someone but I thought it was an old lady. Honestly thought there were going for a cheap laugh were she kept on printing out pictures of snowball or something.
• translated some of the binary on the walls of her palace into ASCII looking for a secret message but they were just the same odd symbols that were on the doors and such.

---tinfoil hat time---

• Futaba picked Alibaba as her hacker alias. before we get to see the whole Egypt / pyramid theme of her palace it seemed like a really odd choice.
• It could be just a cool name that the writers picked but "Chekhov's gun" states that every element introduced in a story should be necessary to the plot. If the gun isn't going to be fired then the audience doesn't need to see it being loaded - or something like that.
• It got me thinking and for sure I remembered the name Alibaba but had forgotten the details of the story. I did a quick search and was able to find the story pretty easily.
• Short version : Alibaba was a dude who stole a bunch of riches from some thieves. Alibaba is living the good life when the thieves track him down and make plans to kill him. The plans are stopped by Alibaba's slave who kills the thieves.
• Alibaba's slave was named .... wait for it .... Morgiana! Mind effing blown! That's way too similar to Morgana not to be important.
• Morgiana was female. Early in the game Ann ask Morgana if it's a boy or a girl. It says of course it's a boy, but it also says that it is human.Morgana might be the Male version of Morgiana but this throws it's gender into question too. It's not like anyone had checked between it's legs as far as I can tell. (also where does it do it's business I haven't seen a litter box).
• Add to this the "birth" flashback that Morgana had
• Morgana is an unwilling servant (aka a slave) to the big bad which is trapped in the deepest part of mementos
• The big bad was able to squeeze through the crack in his prison just enough to deposit a small amount of it's power in the metaverse this power took the form of Morgana.
• The Morgana in the dream had yellow eyes. still going with yellow eyes = metaverse native.
• He was programmed to want to find the deepest part of Mementos at all cost so he could free the big bad.
• His attraction to human desires was not intentional. He got sidetracked from his mission and got caught by Kamoshida.
• Meeting joker was a stroke of luck.
• He keeps telling us that he's using us for his own goals and that he just needs pawns.
• We're made to think that this is just a defensive move to avoid talking about his real feelings but I see a perfect opportunity for a "I told you I was just using you all" scene after the big bad flips some switch later on.
• Most of Morgana's battle functions are getting replaced by other members. Makoto and Futba are both doing the combat calls now. Morgana will leave the party soon.
• Something will happen to Morgana that will flip his switch while the PT are in Hawaii
• Morgiana killed the thieves.... The big bad will take control of Morgana at one point and we will have to fight shadow Morgana or something to get the cat back.
• Was almost thinking Morgana could be the one who betrays us but no one can understand him and even Akechi would have trouble selling the whole "my informant is a cat" thing to Sae.

Kasumi

• A big problem with Kasumi is we know shes going to be a badass by the time the casino heist comes around but right now she's the complete opposite of the person who saves Joker. This isn't like Makoto who is a bad ass and was just holding back. Kasumi is 100% a wet noodle right now.
• Add to that the my weak self relied on you so much line and there is little doubt she has a split personality disorder of some sort.
• They also dropped a major clue for Kasumi after the 3rd palace. She had a sister who died.
• My fist thought was she never had a sister and just had two distinct personalities that were separate but equal to each other. Each would take control at different points and her mind created a fake sister to explain any inconsistencies with her memories. At some point one of her personalities (the sister) was repressed.
• The problem with this is her interactions with joker she doesn't seem like a totally different person just more sure of herself. like her week self is the Kasumi we know now and her complete self is the one we fight with.
• She could have really had a sister and the trauma of the loss sent her into a downward spiral of depression. So *someone* did something to her to repress the negative emotions.
• Her gymnastic slump is important. what ever was done to her was the cause of her slump. Shes missing something of herself which is why she says that her body doesn't move the way she wants it to.
• Current theory is some part of her is locked away. It's not separate, but a piece of the whole person that we fight along side with at the casino. At some point between now and then her two halves will join.
• This brings up the question of what's up with her dad? Unless your some sort bad person wouldn't you notice such a drastic change in your kid?
• Either dad works for the government and was ok experimenting on Kasumi or he somehow thinks whatever was done to her was for the best . Like her current state is better than what was before so this is the cure.
• explains why she transferred schools. He dad claims to work at a TV station (could be a cover). It's not like he would have to move for a new job. If she had a major personality change then her old classmates and teachers would notice. this would cause Kasumi to question her reality which could cause it to fail. moving to a new school removes this issue.
• This would have to go above standard therapy. Either hypnosis or cognitive psience.
• something is going to happen to her dad. we got the glasses shopping scene to show us how close they are. This will be her motivation for going into the metaverse.
• when her persona awakens the mental barrier will be taken down.
• She only has a 5 star confidant rank. It's not like Maruki who still has his card symbol but won't advance till the story does.
• The other 5 starts will be with her "other" personality. After whatever was done to her is undone she's going to be a mess and will turn to Joker.
• something will happen to her while we are in Hawaii. Only reason for her to let us know she was leaving the country of a bit. she might not actually be leaving the country and just be having more mental work done on her.

Maruki

• He want's to legit help people.
• Thinks that traditional therapy is not effective enough. Want to develop a medicine or medical procedure to actually fix people's negative emotions.
• with the introduction of cognative psience we now know the method that he's going to use to attempt this. (could be he already did a test run or two).
• Although his intentions are good things are going to wrong very very wrong.
• After the 2nd exams he talks to joker about not meeting peoples expectations. This comes right after some girls were gossiping about Kasumi in the halls.
• Total misdirection. Since the phantom thieves are making all sorts of waves, the Agency is putting pressure on him to complete his research. This will lead to mistakes being made.
• Eventually his logic will change to "It's better to feel nothing than to feel pain" - this will be his I still think I'm a good guy logic.
• Unless he is also a persona user then were going to visit his palace.
• The first time Joker goes to see Maruki he runs into Kasumi and she tells Joker that she has been seeing Maruki for some time.
• Add to that the line Sae's Boss says on 6/23 "This incident happened at the school you're supposed to be presiding over..." and we have a clear connection from Sae's Boss to the principle at Joker's school.
• He also seemed to be bothered that the Kamoshisa change of heart happened at Shujin like he was aware that something special was going on there.
• This set off all the alarms. The new girl who happens to be a badass persona user transfers to the school and a month later her doctor gets assigned to the very same school. He was hired by the principal who just happens to work for Sae's boss. Sae's boss knows of the metaverse and so does Maruki.
• Maruki was assigned to Kasumi's school to keep tabs on her and make sure whatever he did to her stuck. The Kamoshida incident was just the excuse they needed to bring him in.
• He either developed cognitive psience on his own or was giving Wakaba's research by the Agency.

Akechi

• he has to be the one who betrays the group.
• Keeps putting idea's in Sae's head
• At some point Sae will catch on that Akechi is messing with her.
• working with Shido but not for him. Has his own goals or works for the big bad.
• says he has to catch the PT "for the sake of my justice" combine that with the arcade scene where he ask joker what kind of justice he believes in and Akechi is def bad. He's not after "justice" but "my justice" which sounds a lot like revenge. Has something to do with his father. If the PT crew keep operating they're going to ruin his chance for revenge.
• He will frame the PT by sending a fake calling card and then killing that persons shadow.

Twins / Butterfly Lady

• The number of new confidants that unlock after the 3rd palace was a bit overwhelming but It did give me plenty of chances to watch the new confidant unlock scenes. It got me thinking about what it actually says. Just picked the fortune confidant for this but any would have worked.
• I am thou, thou art I - we are one and the same
• thou hast acquired a new vow. - you just unlocked a new confidant. to quote Jose "Good Job!"
• It shall become the wings of rebellion that breaketh thy chains of captivity. - butterflies have wings also still talking about Joker "thy chains of captivity". We are like a caterpillar and when we obtain out true power we will become a butterfly (not literally). the chains could be a the cocoon that the butterfly breaks out of.
• With the birth of the Fortune Persona I have obtained the winds of blessing that - creatures with wings (like a butterfly) ride the wind. Is now referring to herself in this line "I have obtained..."
• shall lead to freedom and new power..." - It's over 9000!
• The butterfly lady is our persona or at the very least out power levels are connected.
• Part of the butterfly lady's power is sealed in joker. Was not intentional but will be the key to rejoining the twins.
• When there is a fusion alarm the twins do this adorable back stretch where one kicks her legs. They then do this weird like side stretch that looks like the fusion dance from Dragon Ball Z.

Igor

• Not working for the thing that made Morgana.
• Morgana had no knowledge of the skill cards and his mind exploded when joker captured the pixie.
• Even though he's not bad he's still not good.
• Has some cosmic role to fill. His job is to prepare for the final battle. He doesn't care who wins just as long as the fight occurs.
• Gave Akechi the metaverse nav but Akechi betrayed him and went rogue which is why he went looking for a new recruit. He took on the twins after so the same mistakes wouldn't be make with joker.
• Says joker will fight someone with powers very similar to his (jokers) own. Akechi has the wildcard too?

Sojiro

• For the record Joker defended him and never once thought he was abusing Futaba.
• Met Wakaba when he worked for the government.
• Feels guilty that he didn't do anything when she said she was going to die. Was he in a position to do so? What did he do for the government?
• After Wakaba was killed he suspected his own government were behind it and left in disgust.
• Sojiro is just awesome. He would take a bullet for any of Joker's friends and die happy knowing he saved someones life.
• He will be the getaway driver after the PT crew breaks joker out. He's the only person we know with a car.

Sae's Boss / Shido

• They refer to it as the metaverse and not the cognitive world. could be the writers just didn't want to add a new term without context or they gained they're knowledge of the metaverse from an "other worldly" being.

​
Limo Girl.

• Is in the opening movie both the heist scene and the smash the city part. Will be joining up.
• Ran in to her in the hall at the star of the game she was labeled as a senior
• Riding in a limo. daddy is loaded.
• At the park cleanup she asked Mishima for the bottle cap so they can be used for medicine. She is seen watering flowers at the school also. What we should take away from this is she's a really good person. We need to know see that she's super duper good because her dad is bad like really bad.
• daddy's money is dirty money and she knows it or at least suspects.
• We will change daddy's heart and make him admit his evil ways.
• Her dad is the Shido.
• We don't know when she's going to join up or if the casino heist is her first. Stealing her dad's heart will prob be her first mission so the fact that shes on the comm at the start of the game isn't too much of a problem with her dad being Shido.

Opening Casino Heist

• on 7/29 Morgana says "But it's true that an observant criminal could have a true to reality city in their Palace."
• The opening casino heist wasn't in the real world but was Shido's palace. His palace just included a 1:1 of the city in it. He also says in the scene at the start of the game where joker has a flashback that he owns the cops. Would make sense that the shadows in his cognition would take the form of the police and security guards. The 2nd palace had two types of shadows (male and female) and the 3rd/4th had people/dogs. Multiple types of shadows is not unheard of
• Also looks like we did manage to steal his treasure but not sure if they were able to get it out.
• We don't actually see joker get taken in by the cops. It's possible that the traitor grabbed us after the shadow cops took us down and turned us in to the real world cops. Doesn't mean the world's can't be merging but my reasoning for it is off.
• One thing that bothers me is when they ask if everyone remembers where they have to meet up. Why was joker separate from the rest of the PT? The PT all leave the metaverse together so far. Could just mean where they're going to meet up near the exit (if there is an exit with the palace being the whole city). Hoping for more clues to clarify this.

Mashima

• not going to betray us. he almost fell to the dark side and I haven't seen the conclusion of his story but seems like he's going to an issue.

​
Best Girl current rankings - Nothing is set yet no decisions have been made just the current rankings.

• Makoto - the scene where the lights go out and she grabs jokers leg just made her more endearing. Her driving skills saved the crew after Palace 4. Could beat Kamoshisa in 1v1 volley ball.
• Futba - who doesn't like a quirky redhead. Her being Boss's adopted daughter could be a good thing as he seems to like Joker at this point in the story so he wouldn't have to give him the whole "let me show you my gun collection" talk. Although I'm thinking shes more like the quirky best friend type then best girl material (so sorry Fatuba Fans plesedonthateme)
• Dr.Death - shes a doctor who really cares about her work. Cares more about helping the little girl then getting the credit for it. She basicly broke down when she thought the girl was dead. Also SP Adhesives are amazing.
• Kasami - 100% little sister vibe while Futaba has potential to move up in rank Kasami is stuck in the sister zone. Who knows maybe her "sister" is more interesting.
• Fortune teller- Still a nice person despite the way she was treated. A but gullible though. I could see her sending all of Joker's savings to a Nigerian prince.
• Chess Girl (I know it's not chess) - mid tier maybe she well get more interesting.
• Ann - Not even in the running really because She's going to end up with Ryuji. If Ryuji wasn't around I would say shes not the bightest bulb in the pack. shes not dumb and seems to at least have passed her exams but we have honor student Makoto and super genius Futaba to compare her to. She is empathetic and has a high emotional intelligence. No way shes going to make it as an Actress with her (lack of) skills I cringe every time she tries. She would make a great councilor though with how she relates to people and to seems to be able to get along with everyone. She could also make it in professional sports with how high she was able to throw Mona after the 4th palace.
• Kawakami - Yes she's ranked lower than someone who is not even in the running. First off she lied about her sister WTF! She just seems like a mess. Her clothes don't fit and her hair is never brushed. She is stuck in "the help" tier. Keep her around for laundry and coffee.

Best Bro current rankings.

• Ryuji - dude is our bro 100% He's the bad influence with a heart of gold and will stick with Joker to the end. He's the Ron Weasly to Joker's Harry Potter. He would be the most fun to go drinking with.
• Yusuke - you will only ever be his 2nd best friend. His true loyalty lies with art. If Joker was hanging off the side of a cliff and Yusuke had to make the decision to save Joker or paint the perfect sunset it would be a real nail biter to see what he decides.
• Mishima- Once he gets over himself he's going to be fine. He's like a more wimpy less fun Ryuji.
• Akechi - he's too full of himself. He always like "ugh I'm just sooooo popular I can't do the little people things like you do" Hanging out with him you would only ever be "Akechi's friend". His sweater vest is dumb.

Best Kitty current rankings.

• Snowball - he didn't deserve to go out like that.
• Morgana - is a spy and slave of the big bad. Also needs stop hitting on Ryuji's girl.

i realise this sounds dumb and may be my own fault but it feels this and the non human communities in general are dying out.. i used to know so many vampires and even more and now, none, what happened? and is anyone out there willing to help me revive this place

I’ve been wrestling with the new toposolid tool in Revit 2024, and whilst I can see it’s an obvious step in the right direction, autodesk are pretty vague on how best to use them… I have quite a complex cut and fill site that I’m currently working on in 2024, and for the life of me I can’t work out the best way to cut retained earth elements or to add fill to the topo.
So far the options it appears are for cutting earthworks:

• Use an in place component or face based component (much like the one RevitPure showed on his blog the other day). This works well for simple cuts (much like the OG ‘building pads’) but for sloping cuts or feathering out an existing bank, , along an angle, it’s very hard not to cut too little/too much. I’ve tried sweeps, swept blends etc but it starts to really slow down the model after too many complex cuts. Also, is there a simple way to control the surface material of the cut toposolid? The newly exposed face seems to be paintable, but this would take a long-ass time to do completely, as you have to do it triangle by triangle.
• Using an in place void mass. Personally I hate the massing tool and avoid it like the plague…
• Placing some ‘holding points’ at the original height (on one side of retaining wall, for example) and then the desired height points (on the other side of a retaining wall); Adding split lines where the triangulation fucks up. Also - is there any way to remove a split line without deleting a topo point along a split line??? Personally this is how I had been doing it in the past… it was an inexact science.

All of the above methods seem to need to be applied to a ‘new’ copy of the original/existing toposolid, otherwise topo regions and surfaces in the existing phase start messing up? Has anybody else found this?
And for adding ‘fill’ earthworks:

• Using another overlapping toposolid and joining the two? I’ve found that this got very slow after a while.
• Using floors or other construction tool elements that can join/cut the toposolid
• As per the last method I mentioned when cutting; adding more existing points and then adding points at the desired fill height very close by/ the other side of new retaining elements.

Also… the topo region element of toposolids - whilst it looks good in principle - why is there no ability to set the height of the top of the region and not just the base? It means that when I get a topo from our surveyors with an existing path height, for instance, I have to reduce all their levels by the kerb height to keep using a single toposolid it seems. Are we just doomed to always have to use split toposolids, only now without the ability to merge (as you could previously with topo surfaces).
Do people have any wisdom or links to some good tutorials on how to achieve these things in Revit? I really want to love this new tool but I’m really struggling with it at the moment. Sorry for the rambling wall of text, thanks in advance for any good tips.

I’ve read the FAQs and searched for similar posts, but I haven’t found anything too similar.
I start a daily meditation practice, all is going well, then around 20-30 days in it begins to feel very flat. My sessions feel more like I’m zoning out and going through the motions than actually being mindful. I’ve tried reconnecting with the reasons I meditate in the first place, but inevitably I take a day off, then a week off, etc. Until the day comes where I get inspired again and the cycle repeats itself.
I’m looking to break the cycle and wondering if anyone has some recommendations for me?
I’ve tried forcing it, and actually made it far past 30 days. It seems to become less and less useful over time though, and I feel more and more disengaged despite a consistent practice. There’s got to be something I’m missing here.
Should I be listening to more dharma talks and trying to be more intentional? Keeping a journal maybe? Any thoughts on the topic are appreciated.

Bonjour à tous,
Contexte : En octobre dernier j'ai réservé sur un comparateur de vol un billet d'avion pour Montréal à départ de Lyon le 30 Mai avec Air Transat. Le lundi 29 Mai au moment de faire mon enregistrement je me rends compte que le PNR affiché sur l'application de mon broker une fois rentrée sur le site de Air Transat correspond à un vol du 29 Mai. Résultat des courses nous avons raté l'avion.
J'engage donc une discussion avec le support qui vous vous en doutez n'a été d'aucune aide. Finalement je vais sur place à l'aéroport le lendemain après qu'une personne du support m'ai appelé me disant qu'ils aillent faire en sorte de me trouver un billet pour le jour même sur le seul vol de 13h.
J'ai attendu, attendu mais mon billet n'est jamais venu et au final j'ai reçu un email me disant qu'ils était désolés car il n'y avais plus de place sur le vol (c'est faux Air Transat nous a confirmé qu'il y avais plusieurs dizaines de places dispo) et que je devais moi même acheter de nouveaux billets dès que possible avec une prise en charge de leur part à hauteur de 2500€.
Or quand je regarde un aller simple pour ce jeudi, les billets coûtent 2200€ en gros et un aller retour (ce qui m'arrange pour plus tard) coûte au total 2200€.
Dans le mail il est écrit noir sur blanc :
"Nous vous proposons de réserver à nouveau les vols que vous souhaitez pour aujourd'hui et de nous envoyer la facture afin que nous puissions vous rembourser dès que possible, nous pourrions prendre en charge un vol jusqu'à 2500€.
Veuillez nous excuser pour ce désagrément et considérer cet e-mail comme une preuve que nous vous rembourserons dès que nous aurons reçu les factures de votre nouveau vol."
Ma question est donc : pensez vous que je puisse prendre un aller-retour pour le même prix qu'un aller simple étant donner que leur budget est de 2500€ et si il refusent la facture quels recours je pourrait avoir pour faire valoir mes droits sachant que j'ai perdu deux nuits d'hôtel, le trajet a l'aéroport et quelques cheveux.
Merci de votre aide

It’s my weekend from work so I went on a hike and then treated myself to some food. The place I hiked at was so beautiful and I felt like I was in a fantasy game.

title says it all. Specifically the Wirings. They seem to be the hardest to farm for me.
Cuz buying them from the new Raid tokens make me feel like I'm in the movie Office Space and someone screwed around and put a decimal place in the wrong spot.
900 Raid-2 Tokens for 3 Wirings is beyond a slap in the face. Should be x10 minimum.
