2023.03.30 15:57 Cheetah_Anxious Canon x Canon Fandom RP

Greetings to everyone who is reading this post, today I’m looking to do a Fandom RP with anyone who is interested in doing something like this! This will purely be canon x canon stuff so no ocs or out of character roleplaying please, this will require knowledge on the fandoms I will list shortly! My requirements are that you are literate in RP and own discord, those are my only requirements really. I’d also like for my partner to be willing to be decently good friends with me, not just RP and no talking whatsoever so if you’re alright with all of that then I’ll gladly welcome you!
The Fandoms I RP are Persona 5, Konosuba, Pokémon, Naruto, Dragon Ball, MHA, Overwatch, Demon Slayer, Elden Ring, League of Legends, Danganronpa, Adventure Time, Helluva Boss, Hazbin Hotel, Hunter x Hunter, DC comics, Marvel Comics, FF7, AOT, Super Smash Bros, Steven Universe, Star vs The Forces of Evil, Undertale, Deltarune, One Punch Man, Chainsaw Man, Skullgirls, Transformers, Star Wars, For Honor, Komi-San can’t communicate, Ace Attorney, Gurren Lagann, Sonic, For Honor, and Genshin Impact! If even one of these Fandoms interests you then you’re already qualified, I’ll even take suggestions on other fandoms since there’s probably some I haven’t listed or have just forgotten about.

2023.03.30 15:57 BlackMetal146 MFTM Essential Albums #5: Electric Wizard - Dopethrone

Genre: Doom/StoneSludge Metal
Release Date: September 25th 2000
Streaming:
Description:
(Decademag)
“When you get into one of these groups, there’s only a couple of ways you can get out. One is death, the other is mental institutions.”
‘Vinum Sabbathi’. Jesus fucking christ. If that’s not the best doom track ever recorded. That fucking song seems to carry the weight of Black Sabbath’s exhausted, decrepit body and dumps it into the 21st century. That sinister quote on life in a cult lays the guide stones down for how monumentally twisted Dopethrone gets and all of it happens in the first three minutes. Even through its unnerving and blistering sounds, Dopethrone paints a rich world of clandestine lore. It’s a vastly coherent piece of noise, impressive considering frontman Jus Oborn had this to say about the album: "Most of us were stuck in some drug addiction or alcoholism at the time and it was just pure hate. It was us against the world and we just wanted to make the most disgusting, foul, putrid record that anyone has ever recorded. We camped out at the studio, so it was literally just wake up, consume as much fucking drugs as possible, and then just start jamming.”
Themes of hatred and vengeance ripple throughout. Tracks like ‘We Hate You’ exercise a lust for revenge after the right to do so was plucked from Oborn’s hands (“So I'll take my father's gun and I'll walk down to the street, I'll have my vengeance now with everyone I meet,”) and ‘I, The Witchfinder’ thirsts for the blood of an arcane enemy (“My implements of torture are bloody red, your confession to sorcery will leave you dead”). Entwined in Electric Wizard’s gory crusades is the aforementioned lore, like if Led Zeppelin IV met Master Of Reality.
There is one thing for certain, though. Despite a Black Sabbath comparison and that Electric Wizard get their name from two Sabbath tracks (‘Electric Funeral’ and ‘The Wizard’), they are not a band fuelled entirely by Sabbath worship. There are countless (great, mind) stoner and doom bands out there that draw 99% of their material from Osbourne and co.’s excellent works. But for every Acid King, Elder, Orange Goblin, Saturn and Spirit Caravan, there is only one Electric Wizard. They are masters of their own reality. They are probably the only doom metal band that can make a listener forget about Black Sabbath for a while.
Interestingly, the magnitude of Dopethrone does not see it take up a fatalist position. Each riff is so spine-crushingly sludgy, they provoke a progressive element in the face of strife. They are insubordinate and influential, like biblical texts of gloomy rebellion. The last thing anyone would do listening to Dopethrone is give up. Whether its a lone warrior firmly planting his feet in the ground as he faces 2000 troops, or a disgruntled employee finally leaving a toxic and shitty workplace, Electric Wizard are there to say, “Fucking do it.”
And of course, the stoners have their fun too. It’s surely the Devil himself ripping a fat bong by the mountainside on the cover after all. It’s so easy to get lost in the group’s winding tones and tinny noisescapes as it is, immersing the ears in a pool of darkened fantasy paved with the bones of vanquished foes and the air of untapped retribution. What Electric Wizard have done here is not only make what is arguably the greatest conceptual record in doom metal, but also turned a largely derivative genre into a purer form of high art.
The record gleams with tenebrosity. It is nothing short of monumental, even though it provokes a splitting earache halfway through, which is generously salvaged by the groove break on ‘The Hills Have Eyes’. The longer tracks, fatiguing as they may be, are odysseys in themselves. ‘Weird Tales’ split into its three epicly-titled parts adds a kind of mythological subtext to the greater perspective, which itself is complemented by songs like ‘Barbarian’ and the title track. Dopethrone incessantly generates a blackened forest with the same depravity as Ulver, Darkthrone and the rest of the Scandinavian black metal barbarians. It’s probably the greatest doom metal album of all time. It’s ritualistic mayhem galore.

2023.03.30 15:56 HicSvntDracones_4242 Defended myself tonight with a .43 T4E CO2 Walther PPQ Replica- "Call my momma!"

I live in San Francisco, and while awaiting approval for my CCW, I have been carrying an Umarex T4E .43 Walther PPQ M2 CO2 replica, with .43 Rubber-steel balls Amazon.com : RUBBER-STEEL BALLS .43 Cal. 100 x Hard Mix Rubber Steel Balls Paintballs 1.8 Grams Projectiles Ammo for Self Home Defense Pistols in 43 Caliber : Sports & Outdoors . These are hard rubber with powdered metal mixed in, rather than a solid steel core covered with rubber, and they weigh 1.8 grams. I use to carry this loaded with alternating rubber-steel balls and pepperballs, until I realized pepperballs were illegal in the US.
Anyways, I had made a run to a 24 hour grocery store at about 3:00 am, had a man walk past me and he said something but I didn't hear what, though I think he asked if I had a cigarette. He yelled a few times, so I stopped and turned around to see what the fuss was, and he was about 20 feet away, pointing a knife at me, looked like a generic ka-bar and started to yell even more, saying he was going to cut me up, then he started moving forward as if he was going to charge me.
Before I realized what I was doing, I had my pistol in my hands, and had fired off 4 rounds into his chest, from about 15 feet. He dropped INSTANTLY, and I thought I had actually killed him, then he started wailing like a little kid, "you got me" "you killed me" "please sir, please sir, call an ambulance, please, I don't want to die" , and that went on for, well, a while, until the police and EMS arrived, at one point he was begging EMS to "call his momma".. This guy had to have been in his 30's, maybe 6'2, 220 lbs or so...
So.. He was wearing a shirt and a "long sleeve shirt" over it, not a sweater, just what seemed like a common white long sleeve cotton shirt. It had 2 blood stains on it. These rubber steel balls, even with the shirt in the way....split his skin open from the impact, and EMS was pretty sure he had broken ribs from the impacts.
I was sort of in shock at just how much damage this thing did. I had done training at a range with it, along with my 9mm CZ

30F, 5foot9inches, 284lbs, white, prexisting issues: hypothyroidism, depression, medication: levothyroxine 175mg, sertraline 100mg, No drugs / smoking, drinking, UK based
I took Provera (medroxyprogesterone) for 4 days to stop periods, now endocrinologist has ordered androstenedione, DHEAS and cortisol blood tests. How long do I need to have stopped Provera for these tests to be accurate?
My GP suggested at least 6 weeks for my hormone levels to normalise and give an accurate result, but she wasn’t sure of exact time frames for these specific tests.
Does anyone know?

2023.03.30 15:52 punchheadkick How helpful are additional drone stations?

I have two drone stations: one at my factory and one at my main base. I've noticed that I have a low supply of some things like sulfur. The sulfur mine is a bit far from these two locations, so I'm wondering if that's the factor here.
Should I try building additional drone stations around the map near drone destinations so they're more effective? Or will this not really have an impact? I want to check first because a drone station is a big investment but I want to get my logistics working. So it's either that or more drones. I think I have about 17 right now.

I'm only asking since I had a person tell me they spent over 5k usd and got every cent of it back with chargebacks. Was this person full of shit like I suspected? They said they did get banned but idc if I get banned.

2023.03.30 15:51 TheHorrorJunkie What would your reaction be this summer when two Premier League footballers come out as homosexuals?

Gary Lineker mentioned that there are two gay Premier League footballers, minimum.
A few months later (December 2022), it was stated that both these players played for the same team (not in that way) and were in a relationship with one another. Their teammates knew.
It was also speculated at the time that a C4 documentary announcing their 'relationship' would be released at the end of the season. The idea is to prevent them from getting distracted this season.
Carl Hoefkins stated he played with two homosexual players when in England. He played for both WBA and Stoke, neither of them are in the Premiership now, so he is likely to be referring to two different players.
Anyway, if this homosexual couple comes out for your football team, what will your reaction be? Will you support it? Do you feel that it is going to impact your club's commercial prospects? Will you not care? Are you Italian?

2023.03.30 15:50 lenasiya Occupational medicine next week.

I am a bit nervous, since I am definitely not capable of performing well at my work currently. I've been in a deep depression since two months and I can't see the end of it.
It truly impacts my work skills, I can't focus at all, I keep getting distracted. I wish I had more control over that, but I don't and I can't. I might lose my job due to disability, and this is the last thing I need right now. In the meantime... this job is crushing my soul.
I have applied for disability but chances are I won't have it because I have worked recently. They will conclude that since I have worked, I am able to work and don't need aid. Truth is, I can't work and I'm forcing myself every single day because I have people to support, I have food to buy.
I'm tired, and I just hope that whatever the doctor says, it will ease my concerns about work.

2023.03.30 15:49 HolTes Here is GPT-4s take on The Restrict Act

Here is GPT-4s take on The Restrict Act submitted by HolTes to ChatGPT [link] [comments]


2023.03.30 15:49 onthedottedline1 I used to make out with my mum

I know the title sounds like click bait. But please hear me out. Or don't — the act of writing this down is therapeutic in itself.
This all happened when I was a child. I don't remember all the details but finally want to get it off my chest.
I have some vague but specific memories of odd behaviour between my mum and me from when I was young. I doubt it would be considered full sexual assault, but it might get uncomfortable. So, please stop reading if this is something that may trigger you (and look after yourself and ask for help).
There a few things I remember clearly. This all happened with varying intensity between the ages of around 5 to maybe 10 or 11: 1. french kissing my mum as a child and kissing her neck very intimately on multiple occassions 2. her asking about my erections in front of others 3. me calling her "princess" and "lovey dovey" in private 4. her standing in the shower naked and asking me if she looked fat 5. her lying on top of me in her bed and asking me if she was too heavy 6. having conversations with her about killing my dad and running away with her (not serious conversations, like joking ones).
There may be other things I can't remember, or don't/didn't realise were abnormal.
There are also some things she still does that make me feel icky. Nothing serious, but she calls me "prince" even after I've told her to stop, she phones or texts me while she's drunk to tell me she loves me, and if she's drunk when I see her she clings all over me. She has in the not-too-distant past referred to me as her soulmate. And tells people that she's so grateful to have her gay son because I'll never leave her, even though I live in a different city.
I've never known how to deal with it (or if it needs to be dealt with) because it's not like we had full on sexual contact or anything. A part of me also feels I don't have a right to complain, because if you were to ask my siblings or my dad they'd tell you had the easiest upbringing being her favourite. In fact, my sister has previously (as an adult) raised that I used to make out with mum as a butt of a joke.
Now here's the issue. I suspect (and I promise I'm not trying to make excuses for my own behaviours here!) some of this shit is impacting me currently, because: 1. I am currently struggling addiction 2. I hate being touched and have severe panic attacks in sexual situations (and some pretty twisted sexual kinks) 3. I have trouble maintaining any sort of meaningful relationships, and have intermittently struggled with suicidal thoughts.
The reason I'm here is because I recently got the courage to talk to a therapist about this. Buttt, it went terribly and I don't know if I have the personal reserves to try again right now. But I still want to talk and receive advice.
If anyone has any energy or wisdom to spare, I would appreciate any input. Any advice would be really gratefully received, but especially in a couple of areas:
  1. How do I set boundaries with her? I don't want to tell her that I remember these things and I hate her for them, because I know that would destroy her and in turn destroy the family. Further, until very recently I remained very close to her — so it feels like it would seem out of the blue to raise the issue with her now.
  2. Can someone give me some perspective around how serious these behaviours were? I once attended a group therapy session but chose not to partipate after hearing other people's experiences which were far worse than mine.
  3. How do I get past my weird sexual shit? I'm lonely, and your boy wants to fuck.
I'm 30, if that's relevant. And I'm gay, so horny Redditors who have a mommy kink — good for you, but it does nothing for me.
Thank you Reddit!

2023.03.30 15:49 QuantityJazzlike4091 Is boy love / ABO / yaoi harmful to men? If not what seperates it from the male gaze?

A common cornerstone of feminist cultural critique is the objectification and fetishization of women in media, the male gaze.
I did a bit of a deep dive into the kind of erotica that a lot of straight women like, about gay men, and as a bisexual man I found a lot of them deeply disturbing?
There's a lot rape, the reduction of people to stereotypes / cookie cutter narrative roles. Men are depicted as either animalistic tops who can't control themselves or hyper submissive feminine bottoms, sometimes even given the ability to get pregnant so the dynamic can mirror a heterosexual relationship.
Most the content I've read about this kind of media, is that it's female empowerment and allows women to express their sexuality. So I have to ask, why are unrealistic depictions of women made to stimulate men understood to culturally corrosive by the majority of feminist think pieces I've read (I'm trying to be careful to avoid declaring feminism itself has any one true position) but I've seen very little analysis of how boy love media is harmful to the gay men it fetishises? Where do people here stand on this issue?
I don't see this though, it's the fetishization of gay men by people who are not gay men. I find it disturbing in much the same way I imagine a lot of straight women find over sexualised media aimed at straight men disturbing. I worry about the way the women who read it might percieve me as a result of interacting with that media in the same way a lot of women are likely worried about the impact of their male partners watching a lot of porn.
Do people here see a symmetry between these forms of media in terms of objectification / harm or is there a reason you'd find the BL media acceptable but not the media aimed at titilating straight men, what's the difference between them if so?

ੈ✩‧₊˚ 3x11. stefan is on his on show, at the wheel at a literal breakneck speed along the wickery bridge with elena sitting next to him —the same bridge where her parents died and stefan saved her. it's all in order to threaten klaus: vampire elena equals no more new hybrids.
elena supposes all he is doing is in order to make her hate him, since he lost her the minute he left town with klaus, and stefan believes things could never get back as they used to.
«i don't really care what you think about me anymore, elena.» yet you can see a smidge of sorrow in his eyes, his voice breaks, he's falling apart.
what do y'all imagine he would have done if klaus didn't eventually back down?
plus, how do y'all think the turn of the sentiments off thing actually work, btw? we are told it is an inner switch: the human emotions turn themselves off and a vampire just gets to be a vampire —a hunter, beastly thirsty of blood that would do anything for a human vein, with no hesitation. however, isn't vindictiveness, isn't rage a human emotion? stefan's veins are pumping of bloody anger, his deepest pinch of humanity is fighting to be suppressed and locked in order to not feel guilt for all he have done. his conscious seems to be capitulating, surrounding. when he gets to know about elena and damon's kiss... god it feels like a white oak stake apparently silently straight to my heart. his subconscious prefers to focus on seeking revenge towards klaus, nevertheless he is aware that he lost all he loved because of that hottie: he is aware that elena and his friends' love actually matter. «destroying klaus is all i have left.» human emotions.
stefan keeps protecting elena, even if it doesn't seem so. he keeps saving his crappy brother's life: is it still because he believes to own him, since he was the one who made him turn? a ripper wouldn't give a shit tho, wouldn't he? in this stage he seems to be, like damon admitted, in a grey area where he isn't either a crazy murder nor the soft strawberry danish pastry boi everybody know.
stefan's dead soul is such a damn fighter. it is tougher than anything else and klaus got that. «your humanity is killing you! all the guilt... must be exhausting... turn it off.» brief consideration on klaus: he is not a lovable character, certainly not for the audience who can't see behind a façade. he and stefan are the characters with the highest amount of personality layers, the most fragile, the bravest, the most self-challenged, the most human.
i find interesting that a vampire's personality and experiences have an actual impact on the switch's effectiveness: regard stefan, it seems that his humanity is so much more preponderant than that, since his sentiments off periods have a very brief time, especially if compared to everyone else (damon, caroline, elena...). the switch doesn't seem to work as an actual switch then.

Made an attempt at the original chicken and dumpling loaf, but with a bread machine
Inspired by u/bigcrazyturtles, I decided to try my hand at the chicken and dumpling loaf, but in a bread machine.

I don't know much about baking, so I made some assumption that might be inaccurate. I utilized the white bread recipe for my zojirushi bread machine for a 2lb loaf. On top of replacing the water with a can of soup, I noticed the can contained adequate salt, and an amount of fat equal to 80% of the butter called for in the recipe, so I only added half a tablespoon of butter instead of 2.5 tablespoons.

In total, the recipe was 1 can of soup, 553g of flour, 48g of sugar, 2 tablespoons of dry milk, 0.5 tablespoon of butter, 2 teaspoons of bread machine yeast. Used the basic white bread setting, medium crust.
Going by taste, it definitely could use more salt, but I don't know if that would impact the baking process negatively. My understanding is that the more salt you use, the more the yeast will struggle to produce gas, so it might not rise as well?
Speaking of rising, the loaf rose really well, going past the rim of the bread pan. There was some minor deflating on top near the end, which I suspect might be from there being slightly too much liquid, not bad enough for me to care though, the loaf is pretty huge.

Here's a shot of the crumb....

As for the taste, it's very soupy and delicious! I'll have to try a few more flavors in the near future.
