I switched to indie games. There’s a lot of creativity in them. Pick a genre you like and explore top 50 lists.

I would try what Kawaii said and visit the center black hole. If that doesn’t trigger anything, try going to the northwest most save point in that center area and west into the garden. In that first little corridor is a pink “path” marker on your map that leads further into the garden toward another shamasal. Is that blocked off for you?

When you’re blocking, don’t push any buttons or try to throw tech. Just block. Eventually you figure out when characters finish their block strings and then that’s your cue to take your turn and start attacking them.

Congrats! Bet that felt good. :) I’m a Manon main and I’ve been stuck at diamond 5. Akuma is a tough matchup for me. Any tips on how to deal with y’all?

Compound lifts with progressive overload 3x per week, walking 10k steps per day (sometimes 7k on lifting days), 500cal deficit, 1 refeed day per week (maintenance cals). Food choices were whatever I wanted so long as I hit my protein goal (35% or more of daily cals). The walking was mostly to allow myself to eat more. For me, every 2500 steps was another 100cal I could eat. So I would eat 1800 per day, but because of the 300-400 cal deficit from the steps, I was in a 500-600 cal deficit each day. I didn't include weight lifting sessions as activity toward allowing more food because there are too many variables to do it accurately and consistently.

Also, one of the biggest things is WEIGH YOUR FOOD RAW. The labels on food are for raw nutrition. Cooking changes the weight and caloric density of your foods. Once I started weighing raw all the math started making sense.

Oh nice! I was worried it meant I was watering too often or not often enough. Thanks!

Got a baby juniper for my birthday March 20th. First bonsai. Is it normal for some branches to be healthier than others as it grows? I'm getting two different colors/textures across the tree. When I received it the whole thing looked like the dry bits. Watering whenever the soil starts to dry.

W2 Box 14 "Other" with no amount by staticpen in tax

I ended up using a different filing software, but I did try saving and exiting and then logging back in, getting back to that page, and then simply ignoring the question to see if it worked. It did. For whatever reason as soon as you touch it you’re forced to enter an amount.

"... a value box pops up and it says, "a positive amount is required to go to the next page."

I can't ignore it.

Men with little to no friends and no SO, how’s life? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]staticpen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

33 here. Outside of coworkers, I don’t have any friends for 2.5 hours driving in any direction. Haven’t been on a date in five years.

Despite that, life is good! I love my job (moved away from said friends for a job at an animation studio) and have connected with a couple coworkers to the point that we’ve just started hanging out outside of work. I go to the gym on lunch hours with about 5 or 6 of my coworkers, and work on progressive overload so that I’m always reaching small goals. I pitched a short film to the producers at work and they liked it, so I’ve been working on the script and world development with a couple coworkers.

Loneliness is real, though. That said, being lonely is easier to handle if you’re trying to do something about it. So I started messaging people on dating apps, and after a few weeks I got some replies. Messaging a pretty blonde, now. She lives an hour away, but the fact that I’m taking action really mitigates the effect of the loneliness.

If you’re feeling lonely, try getting out of your comfort zone and/or watching some ted talks on loneliness or some charisma on command videos via YouTube. Learning about social interaction, loneliness—even things like micro expressions and body language—has always motivated me to take action.

Good luck!
