I bought a box of Shargio tubes to try the other day and about a third of them tear at the tip when I try to stuff them. It seems the filter might be tiniest bit smaller than the 4 Acer that I generally use. Is there an easier way to use these without them ripping? I'm using a little Gambler handheld roller if that makes any difference.

2024.11.25 07:40 GitGud88 My take on Ainz Ooal Gown, Overlord, it's ending, and it's glaring flaws
This is coming from someone who has been a fan of the series for years, has actually read the novels, and enjoyed them. I will be discussing spoilers for the anime and light novels up to the newest volume, so spoiler warning.
I am very curious as to how Maruyama is gonna write the ending without leaving a bad aftertaste in literally everyone's mouth. I actually think it's nigh-impossible for him to wrap up the series in a satisfying conclusion, no matter what, the ending is gonna feel rushed and too abrupt.
The way in which he has set up so many plots and ideas, only to most likely drop the majority of them in the end, really frustrates me. He has also set things up in a way that anything but Nazarick winning completely and utterly in the end, would be completely jarring because of the tone of the series and how easily they won every fight until now. If they suffered any major defeat at the end, it would feel really strange and out of place compared to the rest of the series.
I think Maru realizes this, so most likely what's just going to happen is: They steamroll the Theocracy, massacre absolutely everyone there, every last man, woman and child, perhaps this will even get ofscreened, which in my eyes would be a massive wasted opportunity, I already very much disliked how we never got to see most of the heinous shit Nazarick does to Re-Estize in volume 14 and it's just mentioned in passing.
Then they are gonna fight and humiliate PDL and his army, potentially learning more on the origins of players, guilds and world items (Seriously if Maru is gonna keep ignoring the Dragon Emperor's existance and origins of players and such in the main series, I'm gonna flip. It should be an important plot point, especially considering how inquisitive Ainz usually is, yet the actual reason people got transported feels more like an afterthought).
The end. Sure there's gonna be more to it probably, but in essence, Nazarick is probably gonna dominate 1/4th of the continent and then the series just ends. Anticlimactic, isn't it?
There are many things I definitely want to see, which we might won't. Chief among them would be Ainz stealing Zesshis Talent and using World Break and / or Grand Catastrophe. Seriously, the Talent is one of the most broken abilities in the entire series, especially combined with Nphireas. But even with her Talent alone, Ainz would be downright invincible. Considering Ainz has established he can steal people's talents with the reality-altering spell [Wish Upon a Star], he should definitely take this chance to do it. He always talks about wanting to strengthen and protect Nazarick and given he's read Zesshis memories, if he didn't, it would be one of the most nonsensical and stupid things ever written and directly contradict his character, which seeks ever more power to advance himself and his nation, in his own words.
All in all, looking back at the series, if I could make changes, I would not make Nazarick so unbelievably overpowered, or rather, I'd make the New World a lot stronger, perhaps a few locals could even level up to become player level. I would also make the Guardians weaker than Ainz, like in the original web novel. Not doing so kinda means you are inevitably kinda writing yourself into a corner with a series like Overlord, which does in fact contain a lot of fights, despite some people trying to tell you othewise. Even I now think Nazarick steamrolling everything and everyone wasn't the best route you could've gone, writing-wise.
I would also introduce a second cast of main characters and lots more other factions with players who are still freaking alive (seriously, they are so underutilized, despite being practically the most influential and powerful figures in this world), ones who are not as remotely as strong as Nazarick, at least initially. Perhaps a more heroic cast (like a second incarnation of the Thirteen Heroes or smth) that can actually level up, with at least one or more players, similar in spirit to Gazeff, Sebas, Brain, Climb, Blue Rose etc, to balance out Nazaricks wickedness. A series like Overlord, that is all about power and it's effects, the rule of the jungle so to say, not having multiple world views backed by equally powerful factions clashing, is honestly a sin from a writing perspective. There was so much potential here, Maruyama. It's sad that we only ever see Nazarick's world view dominating everyone.
I know Overlord is a series with a world that's very grey, not exactly a series about good and evil but having almost all the strongest beings be evil, kinda defeats that point, doesn't it? And even the ones that weren't are just dead, just so uninteresting that we're never going to meet any of them... The exception being PDL, though he certainly has grey elements as well, and he just isn't powerful enough to rival Nazarick.
Another point. I would make Nazarick and particularly Ainz, the main antagonist to the New World as a whole, while at the same time being one of the casts of protagonists. They arguably already are the main bad guys, just that they are the sole protagonists and we only ever see them as antagonists from the point of view of people who are not that important in the grand scheme of things. Maru specifically said he wanted to write about villains, yet their absolute worst actions are ofscreened, in order to not make the reader completely despise them, I assume. Yet that kind of writing seems... dishonest to me. I want to see all that they are. I would much rather see their actions from multiple other, long-lasting perspectives, that aren't just completely outmatched and would potentially want to do something against it. That would be a ton more interesting than anything we've got.
My last point is Ainz. Ainz could be an interesting character and he already is one of the most unique characters I've seen in fiction. In particular, he is one of the most uniquely cold-hearted protagonists I have ever seen. He stands out in how he is a very loving and caring leader towards the NPCs, yet at the same time, in how casually and unapologetically apathetic, ruthless and cruel he is towards most New Worlders. He is the "supergenius dark lord" trope flipped on it's head and subverted, since he is just a normal, albeit sociopathic, guy with god-like power. Yet at the same time... So much of his potential was wasted. There was so much potential for character growth with him. I'll be blunt, Ainz barely changes throughout the entire freakin story, at most becoming more cautious, ruthless, analytical and gaining new skills as a ruler and at handling weapons. His view on the Guardians also shifts. And while that's something, it just ain't enough.
Going into the series, while he originally had no idea what he was doing, I expected him to eventually grow into his role, and while he does this to an extent, once again, not to the degree I'd like to. Ainz's stagnation in power, and lack of major obstacles, prevents him from truly growing much as a character, whether that's into a positive or negative direction. Frankly, even early on I was getting the feeling that Ainz ain't exactly a good person, I thought he might even end up ultimately being the antagonist. Season 3 / volume 9 felt like it was leaning very hard into that direction but ultimately the series didn't take that route. There was of course, also no opposition that could face him, I knew this of course.
But I can't help but think, wouldn't that have been the much more interesting way to go? Not removing most of his humanity in an instant like was done in volume 1 by him becoming undead, but introducing those effects more gradually, making him slowly loose his way and become the inhuman monster he already resembles. One of the main themes of Overlord is also how power tends to corrupt, a motto of Platinum Dragon Lord and something we see everywhere we look. Nigun, the Re-Estize nobles, Barbro, Clementine, Brain's former self, Eight Fingers, Remedios, the Elf King, the Theocracy, Cure Elim and most importantly, the Eight Greed Kings, whose story literally serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of unlimited and unchecked power. Given the position he is in, Ainz should reflect this, and to an extent, he does, however, again, not to the degree I would like to. It's almost like the story often makes excuses for him, that it pushes him into this narrative without him having much agency (he does), which is funny at first but becomes grating after 14 freaking volumes. Ainz should've grown into a more proactive and much more self-confident character, who actively pushes the plot forward as both a protagonistic force for the reader, as well as the main antagonistic force for most of the world and protagonists, not have him constantly catering and submitting to the Guardians, at least towards the end of the series. Frankly it's kind of getting on my nerves how he is still so passive and insecure after 16 whole volumes. It's just not all that fun to follow a character who constantly degrades himself and his accomplishments, as it turns out.
If Nazarick was destroyed in the end, it would frankly be completely justified (even though I love the ideas behind many of their characters and some of them not being evil). Of course, just cause it's justified, doesn't mean it should happen, but can you honestly say it would be less meaningful than Nazarick just steamrolling everything? If they went down because of a mistake on their part, perhaps similar to how the Eight Greed Kings destroyed themselves, with Albedo and her entire shtick with killing other players, as well as more good aligned NPCs, like Sebas and such, defecting (the ultimate showcasing that they are not just mindless robots) perhaps being the catalyst of it all, it would not only be incredibly tragic on one side, as we've followed them for a massive part of the story but it would be incredibly meaningful and mirror the themes and history found within the series already, showcasing that even absolute power cannot last forever, cementing the series as the incredible tragedy it already is in many ways and cementing Ainz and the Guardians as not only some of the most unique characters in fiction (being both protagonists and main antagonists) but also some of the most compelling and in some cases also (ironically) humanized villains ever, being former protagonists themselves, which we grew to like, despite their evil deeds.
Anyway, this is just something I wanted to get off my chest and I saw the opportunity to do it here. It's something that irks me, not because I think the whole series is bad but because I see in it the potential to be a masterpiece and genius subversion of power fantasies and isekai in general. I thought this would be how it goes at the beginning but ultimately Overlord turned out to be just another power fantasy. I know a shitton of people would disagree with this and tear me apart for it, but even one of your favorite series probably has flaws, whether you want to accept that or not.

2024.11.25 07:40 OkFaithlessness1319 Horror short film
Hey guys I'm looking for this short film I watched maybe like a few years back maybe three or four. I think it was around 3 minutes long and it revolved around the main character which was a young man in his early 20s. Short film starts off with the young man looking out of his apartment window, he then notices a silhouette in a window in the building across the street from his, I think he may have been looking through a telescope or binoculars but I'm not sure. anyway he notices from what i remember an old woman that had her back faced towards the window, she seemed to be doing something and I think she may have been naked. The old lady then turned around and look directly at the young man after noticing him. she than proceeded to sprint out of her room then there's a suspenseful shot focusing on the apartment on the building across from his. all of a sudden the old woman was sprinting across the street towards his building. And I think it cut to a shot of his front door and I think short film ended once the old lady reached the door or opened it or something.
The film was mostly silent from I don't remember and didn't have any dialogue

Or perhaps even movies in general? I don't think I've ever noticed this, and I suppose it's something he'd have overcome. But... I kinda feel like that'd be an interesting detail for his character.
Like, he wouldn't have a crippling phobia of movies, but surely they still pose an evil connotation of some sort.
What do you think?

2024.11.25 07:40 Excellent_Back343 Help with BDD claim.
I’m currently active duty and have a year before I get out. I plan on filing BDD but want to know if my claims have a foundation behind it.
I have lower back problems, I’m a flightline worker and noticed a couple years back it was hurting. Anyways I have records of me going to physical therapy and very recently had an MRI done which showed arthritis, degenerative and bulging discs.
I also have been to mental health, I’m not sure that I have an official diagnosis but I’m prescribed anti depressants and in the doc notes it lists all the trauma I have gone through and that I show signs of anxiety and depression. I also have been to behavioral health for my sleep and the doctor there says I show signs of insomnia.
See I hate that it’s always that I show “signs” why can’t I get diagnosed? I went through an SA event in service and although I didn’t make the report public it still is the catalyst that caused the mental health issues.
Anyways. I am wondering if this is enough evidence for a claim or if I need to take more steps before I file.
