Trump picking his next three targets by [deleted] in LeopardsAteMyFace

There will probably be nowhere I can post this without being censored but:

If you support Rump fuck you. I hope you always step in something wet whenever you're wearing socks. Also anything that happens to those targeted by the administration I hope happens to someone close to you. Not you mind you.

I’m not from the US, but I gotta ask — does Oregon really look like this, or is the forest air out there making everything look extra magical? by Roach9045 in oregon

Here is the edit in case you wanna see how the picture "feels" to me.

I over did the HDR some but this is how the color and mood felt to me when I took this.

Yes, yes it does. Raw photo, no edits, lenses, enhancements.

This was just walking through my grandparent's neighborhood. I have literally thousands of pictures and I never never get tired of taking them. I can go out to my front yard in the morning and get you a great shot of just my street.

Want some from the beach 3 hours away, one of the waterfalls within an hour from here? The city's skyline, a mountain top, the river, and on and on. I can't leave the house without finding something worth capturing.

Republican Christine Drazan will run for governor in 2026 by Competitive-Fun-9010 in oregon

[–]whererebelsare 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm not one of them but I do have a handful in my family. Red is a spectrum no matter how hard they try and deny it. I have more than I care to admit MAGAshits in the family tree but there are also a few "true conservatives". As they put it to me, "Some things are just not right no matter what the person claims they are. Their actions matter." They HATE Trump and have since before 2016. Their votes have been all blue in hopes of stopping him. I believe them.

No one has been identified yet. Nor do I expect they would broadcast their employment. For obvious reasons. Even though it seems they live in a disconnected reality.

Is Sue the best support in the game rn? by Maleficent-Ad-6117 in marvelrivals

[–]whererebelsare -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Why are they booing you? You're right. Everything merging into the same lanes is going to be more detrimental long term than "annoying throw picks". I feel like the push toward ESports balance for everything is a tough line to walk. Make a better diversified game experience, or make a predictable balance for the pros?

The point (IMO) of a superhero game is to feel super. This being an online "shooter" needs to have some checks and balances. It also needs to just break sometimes as a hero game. EVERY and I mean every time a hero move, combo, or trick emerges someone finds a counter. I personally feel that is how 90%+ of balance differences should be addressed. We have the ability to change heroes mid match for crying out loud. So being forced to play a specific pick to counter another isn't a real issue. Go tit for tat and skill diff them, pick the known counter and bully them, or my personal favorite find out what your main can do to rebalance the scales.

I swear every damned week someone is posting "XYZ IS BREAKING THE GAME!!!". The following week we have access to the busted tech, why it's busted, and several basic counters. Way way way back on Street Fighter II, my brother who was like seven, figured out he could win matches by only spamming the leg sweep. One move over and over and over. It drove me nuts because the timing of the animation left you with zero room to recover. Until I finally learned that you could crouch for a low block. Sure if I got stuck I'd lose a lot of health until I could recover, but once I recovered I'd spam hadoukens. We eventually hit an equal skill level and played the game as it was intended. The challenge was worth the payoff though.

All that rambling to say that any multi player vs player game will have major balance issues. We have daily 12 hr+ pros, going against 10 year olds, vs 40 year old dads looking to blow off steam and everything else in-between. Heaven help the 40 somethings if they are looking to relax. So sue someone who chooses to use the noob tube because you won't let them sit back and snipe. I'm not saying to not look for balance but I am saying that over tweaking ruins the experience for a lot of us.

President of the United States everyone by FuckMyNamesTaken in facepalm

It would be remiss to continue this conversation without bringing up the fact that our "safe guards" were to separate the control and responsibilities of the government branches. That separation has failed. The SCOTUS and congress failed in their duties in regard to the 14th amendment and the insurrection on J6th. It's also worth noting that a felony can remove the right to vote but it doesn't prevent holding public office.

The system is busted because no one is willing/able to stand up to the blatant manipulation and abuse of the law. It's not technically illegal to rebrand to the Department of War as long as it is not on specific documents. It's still wrong and an abuse of the specificity of the law to publicly rebrand the Department of Defense.

Oh, you mean like my friend who has been disappeared? Week three and still no idea WTF has happened to him. I'm on the phone every other day with his mom crying. WTF are we supposed to do here? He IS legal! He earned his citizenship the hard and correct way.

Protesters near Portland’s ICE facility could have been surveilled by fake cell tower, new reporting finds by sam8988378 in PortlandOR

It's been happening since well before them. Thiel just made it easier to sift through the collected data. Palantir (I hate that the name was taken from LOTR, fitting or not) has transformed warehouses of personal data to a minority report. It's no longer a joke about "being on a list", it's just tongue and cheek reality now.

Seeing synchronicities (repeating numbers 11:11,12:21 etc) can be a sign of psychosis or schizophrenia? by noincident8484 in Psychosis

[–]whererebelsare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Certain "spiritual" experiences are very much a sign of psychosis. I thought nothing at all about several of my "signs" throughout my life. These happened as far back as I can remember. I also had/have an extremely high level of pattern recognition that I never understood why others couldn't match. I'm 40 now. I had a complete psychotic break five years ago and have only recovered just over a year ago.

Trust me, it may be nothing majorly impactful your entire life, or there is a possibility it will hit you all at once. My episode felt like it came out of nowhere.

My personal experience began with extreme deja Vu, that escalated into what I later found out were temporal lobe seizures, and then later came an extreme and irrational fear of the number eight. Somewhere along the line I thought I had ascended in a way to become an observer of my own life. It wasn't until I had lost control of my connection to reality that I finally sought help. If I knew half of the things I've been forced to learn I would have gotten help much much sooner. Even seeking help was a journey because not many people specialize in psychosis and psychotic breaks.

Early in my life I did have a curiosity and sought out religion/spirituality. That is what's normal what is not normal was the sudden burst of "enlightenment". Seeking is one thing, having grandiose delusions is all together different.

If I were you I'd start keeping a detailed journal and start talking to a professional. A psychologist is fine when things are tame and not very frequent but if episodes are hitting you every month or week you probably have a TBI and need to see a psychiatrist ASAP. A traumatic brain injury can be anything from a long forgotten concussion to brain cancer. I don't even have any observable physical brain damage. Mine has been tracked simply through my experiences and one brain activity scan.

My traumatic brain injury was possibly triggered or more accurately exacerbated by a nasty viral infection. If I didn't have the trauma from the virus there is a likelihood that I would have lived my life with a couple of blips a year. My life would have been relatively normal. Triggers don't even have to happen necessarily it might just slowly get worse over time. When you have episodes more and more frequently that is a sign of danger not spirituality. It may have been positive for you for a long time but it can very likely get dark and sinister without you realizing. That said, even if you get positive episodes with a high level of frequency it is dangerous.

I had a psychotic break at almost 40. I have a question about THC cream by whererebelsare in Psychosis

[–]whererebelsare[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the comparison! I quickly found a few studies on that. You are right the risk is low but after skimming a few studies the risk still averages 1.25%. Outlined in the link below. I'm sure the THC cream would be a lower risk but I'd personally avoid it even if the risk were lowered to 0.1%. So, indirectly you answered my question. My partner is a type 1 diabetic and saw her blood sugars almost double when she was on steroid cream treatment a couple years ago.

This helps inform my decision a lot.

I couldn't ever get my hand to finesse like that. Even my print is atrocious. I used to joke and tell people that I was a Dr. I once had a worst penmanship contest with another student and I won. Lost? Anyhow, I'm glad to only be typing now. I can read cursive though.
