Is niki and nate still together

Tl;dr I need a tube amp that can do small church band concerts and still get good tones at reasonable daytime apartment levels. I have pedals. Amp needs reverb. I mostly play classic rock and blues.
Hi everyone thanks for your time and your opinions. Right now I just have a battery powered katana mini and need a major upgrade. I’ve done a ton of research but am stuck deciding. I live on a small island with no music stores so playing it first isn’t an option. Most of what I play is classic rock. Overdrive maybe a little distortion sometimes. I really like the blues jr and vox ac15, but I live in an apartment. Was impressed by the mono price 15w for the price but it still lacks the depth of the Vox or Fender tube amps, from what I could hear. Considered a Katana but preferred the GTX50 for the versatility alone but heard the tube amp modeling is garbage and sounds nothing like a real tube amp but the FX are good and it comes with a foot switch. Though I’m leaning towards tube amp + pedals. Really chasing that vintage tone. I also play in a somewhat loud church group which is mostly just cleans and some reverb.
Heard some people say “go vox ac4c12 it’s better for playing quiet and you can just mic it if you need to” but on the downside people say it’s boxy. also heard “get the ac15 or blues jr, they have master volume you can get good tones at reasonable levels especially if you have pedals” (which I do). Also heard “don’t use attenuators it never has the same tone” which I can agree with I had an amp that had 20w and 5w and when you dropped it down to 5 you had like no ability to get a good tone anymore .
Ideal amp would be able to do small gigs and apartment use. Needs reverb, digital is ok. No particular interest in headphone out, tired of wearing headphones every time I play. Big bonus would be master volume or fx loop. absolute max i want to spend is $800 but if something like the AC10 for $650 is the best option I’m fine with saving a little money.

I mean a thousand issue is a milestone as it is. But giving giving fans something they’ve wanted since 2007 would be earth shaking and hell maybe they’ll give Ben Reilly his memories back and Peter will finally get his crap together?

My bf and I are in our 20s, we’ve been together for 5 years. (No we are not married yet and plan to get engaged soon, we didn’t feel the need to rush)
We bought our first home in November 2022. My parents were the only ones who knew because they helped us through the process of buying and then moving. We posted a picture on Facebook of us standing on the front porch holding up our house keys as the announcement. MIL called and congratulated us, said she couldn’t wait to come over for dinner! Within 2 weeks we invited her, her husband and my bfs little sister. She said that they couldn’t come cause her hub had to work. That was fine we get it, but it started to happen again and again with different excuses. They finally came around Christmas time and we did presents with them. MILs husband was saying weird shit that made me uncomfortable and my bfs little sister (13) kept saying how “horny” our lab was because she was humping her stuffed animal. (Normal behavior for an excited dog) The morning after I checked our ring camera and there was footage of them standing outside talking shit about us. MILs husband was saying that we’re to irresponsible to own a home because we had a crack in our skirting and our pipes were going to freeze. He was also talking about how he was blaming his farts on the dogs. (I let them out 3 times while they were over because I thought they were just gassy from dinner. They normally aren’t gassy dogs)
My bf and I made the mutual decision not have MILs husband over again. So now she is refusing to come over or go out to dinner when we invite her and SIL but then turns around and says that we never invite them over. (According to MIL it’s not a full invite because we don’t invite her husband as well) She refused to come to bfs birthday also. We’ve given up and that’s their loss. I also won’t go over to MILs house anymore but that’s my personal decision. Her husband has always given me the creeps anyways.

I’m not sure what to expect. I just need to talk I guess. For starters I’m 22 and living with my parents. Since Covid hit my life changed.
In 2019-2020 I was renting a room with my partner (of two years). Long story short we end up splitting up , my job permanently shut down and I had to move back “home”. But things feel so different now. I went from being independent, working , a relationship to constant solitude. And I don’t think I ever adjusted to that or the loneliness.
I’m currently looking for a job but it’s hard to find something ( extremely ). So I’ve been doing ubereats and I’m also an author so I get monthly income from book sales. It’s just enough to help around the house though not for me to enjoy life. It suck’s watching my friends travel or always going out to eat when I’m eating ramen for dinner like a loser. I can’t remember the last time I ate something I actually wanted. And I know if I died today I wouldn’t be happy with my life.
I guess the point is I’m lonely, broke and I have so much things I want to do. I worked since a child to get what I want and I’m just tired. I’m ready to make good memories. I’m tired of wearing the same clothes or not being able to stuff because I can’t afford. I published a book and still nothing. I just feel like an unaccomplished loser in no matter what I do.
I just don’t know what to do anymore I feel so depressed and that I’m wasting my years confined in a room suffering. I’m 22 and it’s been a long time like this. I just remember don’t know what to do. Even watching old tv shows don’t comfort me anymore

I recently started unlocking legendary commanders like Julius Caesar, Ragnar Lodbrok, Cleopatra VI, Æthelflæd and Mulan. I was gonna pick two legendary commanders to try to pair and level up together and i thought I’d ask since i don’t have much experience nor do i watch other people play ROK so what i need is to pick two legendary commanders to pair up and i wanna know the best way to level them up quickly and maybe a Skill guide for both and what i could use that pair for. All help is appreciated.

Been getting this horrible black smudging for awhile. Saw a lot stick to the orange cylinder (don't know the printer lingo) when you open the backside. I'll clean it, and it'll always come back
To answer the big question: Yes, I did use 3rd party toner. I tried a new one today too thinking it would solve the issue, but this is still happening...
Anyone know what the main issue may be? Thank you

Applied Mathematics
Computer Engineering
I was unfortunately too late to apply for their CS and IT programs as it is now closed, kaya yung only programs I was interested is itong dalawang 'to na open pa naman admissions. Btw the Applied Mathematics program is part of the College of Computer Studies (meaning it's part of the college where the CS and IT programs are), not that it matters but it might be useful info.
I don't know what specific type of work I want to do in the tech industry yet but to generalize it, I am highly interested in AI/Machine Learning, Data, Software Developing/Engineering, Cybersec, and Robotics siguro? Somewhere along those. It's pretty huge and I haven't learned much of the others yet, but for things like hardware stuffs, networking or managerial positions and similar tracks, okay lang din pero ilalagay ko siguro sila sa mid-low interests ko.
Although at the end of the day most likely I'd still take Computer Science at other univs but I still wanted to explore and know more about this, and have your thoughts. Tyia!

We don’t need dads. Say “daddy issues” all you want. My family has been nothing but abusive to me. My dad said I’m so ugly just because I wore a bun and sweatpants and a long t shirt. And he said I should just dress like my sister, and every other girl. He tells me eveyday im an adult, and I’m not a kid anymore. I’m 16. He just says this because he dated my mom when he was 28 and she was 17. And I have a vivid memory of him banging her head on the table so hard in front of family members. I thought it was normal, I was 3. He’s so bad to her. I honestly feel sorry for her. He’s awful to her, awful. My sister is awful to me too, and she’s never home anymore she always leaves with her friends and young boyfriend. My mom went to a party. And my dad came called me ugly because I look like a crazy person outside. And is saying so much bad things to me now is smoking and still saying bad things rooms away . I want to get my bird because he always smokes in front of her everyday but I can’t because he will abuse me so badly. He broke a door to abuse me because I wanted to be alone in my room at 14.
Something so bad happened a few days ago. Someone I used to know(ex from years ago) started stalking me, and I think was trying to you know what. It was scary, I just kept running. And the cops had to be called. Im at the lowest point in my life. My family is awful to me. I have no friends, just trauma. I’m so shy, I never talk to anyone. And my sister ruined my life by making up lies when I just told her, I want to hangout with her more and she’s focusing on her friends a lot more than me. She went crazy after I said that.
I know I’m not a kid anymore im 16. But he never told my sister she’s not a kid anymore at my age, he just hates me. He also started yelling at me like crazy because I sat in the backseat. And said im an adult, and not a kid anymore so I HAVE to sit in the front. And everytime I do anything, like anything he always tells me I’m not a kid anymore and should act like an adult because I am one. Like I could be petting my dog, which he said he will throw out of the window and he says this.

So I have windows on my steam deck. Running from a micro sd. I’ve had a few problems here and there but they’re ready to resolve and this community is the best for helping. I was downloading a game when it shut off. Me assuming it died I just plugged it back up and my battery read 100% one thing I noticed is that my steam deck never read 100% while charging so I knew something was off. So I unplugged it. It shut off immediately. No power at all. I tried hard resetting. And I tried unplugging and re plugging the battery one time. Still nothing. So I went back into steam OS battery health is at 70% WTD?

I am still finding shit my kids are allergic to and they have been terrorizing this earth for four years plus. Oldest heathen got stung by a wasp today. The welt didnt concern me. The throat pain did. I had to drive three miles to get to the nearest expensive dollar general bc I am in bumfrack Missouri again running an errand for family and grabbed the last dye free benedryll for my kid. I used to never leave the house without it bc we traveled or ate out and food is labeled like crap here in the US. The one time I fracking forgot..
Heathen was fine before the benedryll kicked in fully but that scared the shit out of me. With the throat pain and a family history of anaphylactic reaction to bee stings, I get to terrorize a pediatrician, find the cheap generic vs of epipens and corner my dad into showing me how to use one.
My inlaws have a history of mild allergic/hives reactions to crap and then bang...cant breathe with one reaction. Russian roulette with the parents or spouses sanity here.

This is a throwaway because I don't want this to appear on my normal account. For context when I was younger I grew interested in video games and anime heavily. I noticed that in my very small school no one shared these hobbies so I became dependent on online communities on Instagram and Twitter to make friends and talk about the things I love. To the point where I began to value my internet friends over my real life friends. Flashforward to when I'm 15 and through another friend I met a person my age who ended up being one of my closest friends.
We were part of a much larger group chat but throughout the years it grew smaller from 8 people to 4 people to just the two of us talking to each other. We'd have late night texts, calls, and just watch stuff together. For a few times whenever we needed to vent, we came to each other. Flash forward and at this point we're both 18, and I should mention we were both really comfortable talking to each other about our sexual preferences and such. At a certain point I realized I developed feelings for them and never told them, but I was probably very obvious. I was very on the fence about these feelings because:

1. We discussed before how we couldn't have an online relationship again because being distanced from our partner is something we don't think we could handle
2. I am very insecure about having an online relationship because I felt as though my peers would mock me for it, despite being in two before.
   
3. They lived in Australia, I live in America. It believed it'd just be hard to handle.
   

One day we came to a point in our conversation where they told me "If I knew you in real life, I probably would've done stuff with you." And later I had just brought up the idea of if we were still virgins in our mid 20s, we could arrange to meet up and become friends with benefits. They agreed and in the next week we had exchanged NSFW photos and videos. A month had passed and I noticed that all their socials were just gone, they went on a mental health break and didn't tell me. I worried for a while but didn't feel like it was right to reach out. As if they wanted my help they knew they could've spoken to me.
One morning I wake up to a message from them and we reconnected quickly. They were really happy to tell me they made new friends and have been doing better mentally, while also being scared I would've been upset of them. I was really happy but after this I realized they were just not giving me the same energy as before.
No more video calls, no more late night conversations, just once in a while texts and that began to stress me out. I understood to respect their boundaries but I couldn't help but overthink and realize that they don't feel the same way and don't really think about me like they used to. They once then brought up the idea we downloaded Locket, an app where people would send each other photos and it would show up through a widget. This made me really happy as I began to believe I was just overthinking things and went back to normal, but the dry behavior kept up.
I began to do my best and prepare for the worst by telling myself it was best to do what I can and just move on, but I was also desperate for their attention. Most of my story posts on Instagram were efforts to get them to reply and start a conversation with me. A good portion of these were just small rants where I expressed my feelings of being pressured by my family with my future. This lasted for about 7 months.
Eventually in September last year I realized they just stopped being active on social media at all, and I had assumed they were just on another break again. I tried my best to not think too much about it and respect their distance by not reaching out to them. Then a month later I realized they cut me off completely. They removed me from Discord and any games we had each other friended on, and also created all new social media accounts (their new twitter was suggested to me, while also having a link to other brand new social media)
This pretty much broke me, I realized what it meant and after going to it with other friends I understood that I may never get closure. I blame myself for my desperate behavior driving them away and wish to do my best to better myself while also waiting for the day I get over them. Despite how badly I want to contact them and maybe apologize as I'm convinced they thought less of me, I understand the best thing to do was just not contact them at all. However it's June now and while I've realized I've stopped thinking about them I'm still not truly over them. Everyonce in a while I'll be doing my own thing and suddenly have something remind me of them then I get really sad. A couple times recently I'd forget about them briefly then dream about them and go through a small rough time. I'm partially ashamed of myself for not being able to get over someone who I've really never met and I'm scared I won't be able to for a few years
TL;DR Fell in love with an online friend of 4 years, offered to become friends with benefits, didn't confess my love. Realized they weren't giving me the same energy and panicked between wanting to respect their boundaries and wanting their attention. Eventually they just cut me off entirely, and I haven't gotten over it while also being ashamed I haven't gotten over it.
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read this, and I apologize that I wrote so much.

25F, Panama. Hey guys, I hope you all are well.
I was diagnosed in 2021 with moderate proctitis. After going through sulfasalazine, mesalazine, mesalazine and prednisone and finally remicade, my symptoms have "almost" disappeared.
I had a colonoscopy in March and endoscopically, everything is normal except at the microscopic level that "cryptitis" came out.
I bleed occasionally, the diarrhea is also occasional, the urge to go to the bathroom is also occasional but they are not gone. Despite this, the doctor specifies that I am in remission even though I still show symptoms.
To which my confusion arises. What is it to be in remission? I thought you could literally be a normal person, without chronic fatigue, accidents, urgency, diarrhea, occasional bleeding...
I mean, I'm thankful because the frequency of all these symptoms has gone down a lot thanks to the remicade but I think I had a little delusion that I wouldn't see any more blood or that the fatigue would go away.

So back when I was in school there was this kid named Jimmy. Jimmy was not the smartest cookie, he was not even that smart. Now he still knows the basic math and stuff but still not that smart so he would answer a lot of questions. He would raise his hand constantly. Throw out elementary and middle school he would raise his hand for almost every question, I mean this guy would even ask the stupidest things like what time is it or can he eat lunch in the classroom. So throw my years with him he would get picked and bullied on for raising his hand to much. But everyday his arm would look worse like it looked like it was deciding. He even went to the nurse because of his arm but the nurse said it was fine. Now Jimmy was in the hallway one day and a bully knocked over his books and I helped him pick them up and after that we became good friends after that but still getting picked on because of his raising hand problem so throwout middle school I helped him with studying and he never raised his hand again but I had to stop studying with him because I got a job and I can’t juggle two things at once. He understood this and we went to high school his arm looked really pale it looked like all the blood just left his arm. When Jimmy raised his hand he couldn’t put it back on and the teacher told him to put his hand down but he said he couldn’t. When the teacher went up to put Jimmy’s arm down “HIS ARM FELL OFF”! Everyone was in shock and 911 was called, his arm was barely bleeding but there was still a little blood and some of it got onto a girl in front of him. When Jimmy got back both his arms were gone. The other had to be amputated for some reason I still don’t know why but throw out his high school years he got bullied so much and I just didn’t do anything I was just still in shock seeing my friend with both his arms missing. And through out the years I just stopped talking to him. Now I was his only friend and I regret not talking to him. Because after high school he killed him self by jumping off the building and the school had a whole memorial for him and after I graduated I got a package in the mail and it was from Jimmy. There was a note on top saying thanks for being my only friend. When I opened the box it was his skeletal remains of his arm.

I just got a Hitbox Crossup and to make it perfect for me I wanted to add an extra set of Hitbox movement buttons on the left so I could just choose which form of movement I wanted and still only use one controller, can someone tell me if this is possible and if so how to do it?

When i was ~16 i met the first girl i really liked. And in the beginning she liked me too we spend a lot of time together but always just as friends. Some of her friends actually came to me and said that i should make a move etc. but being 16 and insecure i never did that. After springbreak she was really distant with me and i didnt know if i had done anything wrong so i tried to ignore her as much as possible (we went to the same school). After like 2 weeks she hit me up asking if everything was alright and we talked about the situation. All was good for a few week till i noticed her getting distant once again. One day after a break? like in between classes (ig you know what i mean, english isnt my first language) a good friend came to me and told me that the girl told him that she was only spending time with me again to also spend time with my best friend. First major red flag. I habe only seen her on breaks inbetween classes and mostly stopped talking to her. She also went to another school in the next year. I was still kinda heartbroken but i was never mad at my bestfriend because it wasnt his fault that she wanted to spend time with him. Until last summer when i found out that they had been seeing eachother and had sexual interactions in the springbreak. Eventhough this has been 3 years apart i was crazy mad at him but stayed in contact with him until recently. Mainly because i really like his girlfriend not like i wanna be with her but she is just a good person to be around. And breaking off contact with him bit not his gf would be basically what he did to me and i do not want to do that. The second girl i really liked i „met“ last summer. „Met“ because i knew her since we both have been babies but havent seen eachother in like 10 years and before that we only saw eachother on birthdays our parent took us to (our parents are friends if that wasnt clear). I really liked talking with her, we had the same interests like F1, Music, Art so lots of stuff we talked about. But she just didnt text back/took weeks to respond. I wouldnt be have as mad if she hadnt had a „friendbook“ (basically a book where all ur friends can write u something to lift ur mood or a joke or whatever they wanted) that i got when i was like 2 and all of my friends had written in that book. It took her literally 6 months to write something in that book and i had to pick it up at her mothers place because she was „too busy“ with uni when she post pics of her literally being of for dinner every 2 day/ being in the netherlands once every month. I havent talked/texted to/ with her in over 6 months and today she sents me a picture of her and her new bf cuddling like wtf?? I realized today that i will be the one friend in the friendgroup that never has a girl and always will have time because exepct for work there is nothing i really have to do. Well gn everbody going to sleep rn

I at first started out mediating on my own, and it had little effects. I felt more at peace with videos of guided meditations. My mom said that I should start out with guided meditations first. So I did. And I recently felt ready to do more meditations without videos. But I still don't feel many effects from it. Even without any distracting background noises. Is it that I am still not ready yet? Or is there a way to make me more focused on the present without videos? Any advice on it?

This change really should be adjusted. Having a tac gear in EVERY game is gonna ruin a lot of balance.
There are 6 tactical gears. Only 2 of them are better now because of this.
1- The spotter scope. It was useless, it needed to be in a non-primary slot as its only use is mortaring.
2- Repair kit. They were extremely clunky and were inventory items anyways. (idk about the tire feature though that's really bizarre and I gotta experience that firsthand)
The other 4 though? This is a terrible change for them.
Drones are an insanely good spotter utility, they were not good enough to sacrifice a slot but having one for free is pathetic. Deston secret rooms will now depend on speed and not risk/reward. (Also drones take forever to equip/holster currently I hope that gets fixed)
EMT gear WAS worth giving up a slot for. It was actually a good tradeoff. Now it is garbage. Yeah it's slightly better healing but its still a clunky mechanic overall. EMT should 100% stay as a world spawn primary item and not be hard nerfed for this new system.
Tactical pack. This will be abused with panzers so easily. It was bad and clunky, now it will either be useless or OP depending on the map.
Blue Chip Detector. No. Nononononoonono bad idea. Terrible idea. Let's not give everybody wallhacks please. This thing honestly should be an airdrop item

I've seen some scattered analysis, but most of the content I've seen on the internet is still "first impressions" and Day-1 clutter. Now that the dust is settled a little, what's the vibe? I know he's a wildly complex character, but it's been long enough for dedicated high-level players to at least feel out the strengths and weaknesses, so I'm curious what's known so far. Which matchups are easy, which ones are hard, and how have higher-level players than me figured out how to use the character effectively?
For my own experience, hard zoning seem hard to deal with - Asuka isn't well-equipped to close gaps, which means Axl can relax and just poke me down. It seems that he can fight more effectively at range because he doesn't have to spend resources or rely on RNG draw to maintain his poke. Rushdown seems less tricky, but still hard since Asuka's fast buttons are short, and his long buttons are slow, so my evaluation of where and how I play with him places him in the same neighborhood as Testament; you want to be close enough to threaten 2D and spells, but far enough that fast buttons can't nail you when you try.
But I'm a floor 3 scrub, so I'm also not certain how well-grounded my analysis is, and I certainly couldn't tell you how Asuka places in high-level play.

Is there any way to stop this?
I've see suggestions (from literally years ago) saying to turn off auto-play, but I don't even have a Settings option to find that toggle. And even if I did, that doesn't change anything, as I still have to get up at the end of each episode, only to go to the next one now, instead of clicking "watch credits."
So is there any solution? Or is Hulu simply still the absolute worst streaming platform I've ever had the displeasure to use?

Name: Naruto World / Ninja Way
System: Custom system for the mechanics
Medium: Discord
Gameplay: Play-By-Post + Live Text Sessions
Game Style: Very plot driven sandbox. While the players have plenty of freedom in exploring the world and making their own stories along the way. We don't use that as a crutch to not have many overarching plots and events.
Age: Loosely 16+, there are little restrictions on what you can say and do, both IC and OOC. But don't abuse that and keep NSFW content from the server.
Welcome to Naruto World! Naruto World is a persistent world style game set in the Naruto universe. This game has been played by our group for upwards of 20 years, and has gone through many iterations, today you find yourself in the latest version of it. Ninja Way. A version of the game set in an Alternate Universe with none of the recognizable Naruto show's characters.
“Ninja Way” starts a decade after the Third Shinobi War. A terrible war that consumed the entire Shinobi World. While the nations consisting of Konoha, Kiri, and Suna are considered the victors; the truth of the matter is that no one won the last war. With all sides having suffered ghastly amounts of casualties a treaty was put into effect in the hope that it would help to maintain the peace. With the treaty, the tailed beasts of each nation had been sealed away into scrolls rather than Jinchuriki to ensure they’re never used again in war. While the treaty has done an exceptional job this past decade, many shinobi are beginning to speak up that another war is inevitable. The tragedies, the celebrations, victories, losses, centuries worth of scars, old enemies, forgotten pacts, all of these have shaped the era that you come into, as the generation that determines the fate of the world. So while the entirety of the world hangs balanced upon the edge of a blade, the question asked is how long the act can be kept up and when the peace fails whose Ninja Way will prove ultimately correct.
While Ninja Way has barely started as a game, and I'm still organizing the server and writing up storylines. I'm very excited to invite new players into my ever evolving world and behold it as it grows and matures with them. We have homebrewed our own system, the PHB is the result of nearly 20 years of theory and refinement. It's complex, but we’re quite proud of it! I encourage you to make characters you’ll enjoy exploring Naruto World with, and I'm always happy to help people through character creation so please don’t be afraid to ask.
If any of this at all interests you, then please, DM me over discord to discover your own Ninja Way!
