2025.01.23 16:43 Kiwi_In_The_Comments New York Magazine's Neil Gaiman Piece: An Exasperating Read
Did anyone else struggle with Lila Shapiro's "There Is No Safe Word" in New York Magazine?
Reading it was a battle. It just goes on and on and on, exhausting. Exasperating? What happened to identifying a central idea and sorting the wheat from the chaff? It's about twenty times longer than it needed to be.

2025.01.23 16:43 assmantis Yesterday I was trying to catch a ride on a dragon and …
I noticed a glow coming from its head. I went to investigate and it was the master sword?????
What the hell is the master sword doing in the dragon’s head? I haven’t progressed much on the story. I’m 80 hours in. I have only one sage. I was happy where I was, just exploring and playing around with builds when I literally stumbled upon the master sword?
I have two questions - 1. Is this what Nintendo intended for players to find the sword? People just stumble into it? 2. Is there a main quest related to the sword?
No spoilers please! Thank you!

2025.01.23 16:43 AffectionateCold9 18 months after DDay & 1 baby later & it's over.
Hello,
Looking for some help, support and advice please. I've posted about my story and struggles before. In June 2023 my girlfriend came clean to me about her historical infidelities from 4-5 years prior at the time she came clean.
Our relationship was dreadful for many reasons during our early years around the times she was being unfaithful to me in the past even outside of the cheating and there were many things that both of us did at the time to make the relationship toxic and we were both incredibly flawed immature people with deep issues and mental health problem.
Fast forward years later to June 2023 when my partner dropped her bombshell on me our relationship and who we were as people had changed completely compared to those early years we were both I felt totally different and I felt like I had seen us both change and grow so much both individually and together. I can hand on heart say that the years up to her telling me on DDay June 2023 were the happiest I've ever been in my feel, I felt so deeply loved by her and felt so deeply in love with her, I felt like we were best friends and lovers and like we had grown to discover a whole host of various things which we enjoyed doing together, we would rarely be in conflict about anything anymore and if we were it was easily resolveable. I was at the time just prior to her bombshell looking into buying an engagement ring for her I wanted to marry her at this point and wanted to spend my life with her.
DDay comes and my world is turned upside down with everything that we had become in recent years and the way in which I felt about her and how different I felt like everything was between us compared to back then and through this deep connection that I felt with her and the genuine happiness I had experienced with her in the more recent years I decided I wanted to try to make it work with her and she wanted to do the same.
Fast forward 18 months and we have a baby together and she has decided to leave me and has broken up with me because she says she isn't happy and because things aren't working and because things haven't changed, they can't change, there's no hope and there's too much damage been done to her, myself and the relationship.
In the past 18 months I've really struggled and gone through hell to be in this relationship and during it's peak about a year ago I was living in constant fear, any little thing would trigger a panic attack in me even just leaving the house. Every second of every day I would have intrusive thoughts, unwanted images, doubts, fears, depression, grief, pain, anxiety, shame, guilt and so many other emotions and issues. It had crashed my mental health, my self worth and my mind and body did not feel my own it had caused issues with my heart and my hearts rhythm, I couldn't stop talking about what happened and I was living completely in the past... I was on the verge of calling it quits myself about a year ago as I was struggling so badly... Then my partner she got pregnant and I started to feel better for a bit I was going to be a dad and I was doing weekly therapy sessions to attempt to deal with the issues I was having that I described above I had about 6 months of therapy in total and I had got to the point where I was feeling in a much better place not back to fully normal but much better and much more able to function.
Baby arrives and it's new year eve and me and my partner are reflecting on the past year I was saying that new year's eve a year ago that I felt hopeless and really struggled to see a future for us but that now I'm feeling hope again and starting to see a future together for us as a family and she was expressing the same sentiments. 2 or 3 weeks later she has left with the baby and broken up with me... If this had happened a year ago I would have just been relieved I think to be honest but now I'm devastated and struggling to cope it's like I had come through the worst of the hell to the point where I could see hope again and in a way that makes it even crueler.
I've been doing a lot of looking inside myself, soul searching and really confronting my inner most darkest demons since she broke up with me and I have realised a lot. I have done a lot of work on myself but there were things that I haven't worked on enough and things that I haven't realised until now and those main things are resentment and my inability to recognise the resentment and do anything about the ways in which I was behaving as a result of the resentment for a long time. I think looking back I liked having the resentment there as I think it felt like to me a layer of protection and a way to keep space from the person who had hurt me I think I had a false perception that resentments were serving me a purpose. Anyway looking back I can truly see and have realised how my resentments have slowly chipped away at everything our bond, our love, our connection, our joys, our ability to enjoy each other, our ability to feel good about ourselves.
For a while even after DDay I still called her beautiful, showed my appreciation for her, supported her, tried to make her feel good about herself, showed her lots of love and affection but looking back now and looking through our messages I can see that all of that slowly stopped as resentments set in and for about a year I was not treating her the same, I would withdraw my love and affection especially when I was feeling hurt, I would say horrible comments and jokes to her about what she had done, I stopped telling her every day how beautiful she is and showing her appreciation I was even bitter and resentful about making cups of tea for my own pregnant girlfriend. I struggled with fears about the baby being mine as well which came out in me saying horrible things like when the postman came saying things like the babies dad is here and I'd try to claim that I was just making a joke.
I feel like I've been a massive dickhead and like I deserve for my girlfriend to have left me. I can't stop beating myself up over how I let myself behave as a result of the hurt and resentments that I was feeling. I feel so much pain, guilt, shame and sorry for the pain that I've caused and for not even realising for such a long time about the resentments and my behaviours. She gave me so many chances as well and told me so many times that things need to change with me withholding my love and my behaviors etc etc so it's not like I shouldn't have known and didn't have the opportunity to change and do anything about it earlier and now I can't cope without her and can't cope with my failings and my inability to realise all of this stuff sooner and done something about it and now I've lost the only person who's ever loved me, the only person I've ever loved, the reason why I felt happiness for the first time in my life, my best friend and I've lost my family and my son. I hate myself so truly and deeply and I'm so full of guilt and shame and regret to the point where I constantly feel physically sick and nauseous. I did not think I would ever be able to fully empathise with my partners guilt, regret and shame that she has felt for being unfaithful to me numerous times but I can safely say that I'm drowning in it now and I know now clear as day more than ever that I want to be with her and be a family with her and through this realisation and the regret and guilt and shame that I feel I know I would never ever treat her in the same resentful ways ever again.
I have expressed all of this and what I've realised and all my mistakes and the impact it has had on her and us and the pain caused and my guilt and regrets to her yesterday and whilst she showed a lot of emotion and whilst I think there might have been some appreciation for the fact that I've realised all this been willing to admit it and take responsibility for it she still doesn't want to try and work on things and give me another chance and that she still wants to co-parent with me but not be in the old relationship with me or to even try to build a new relationship with me free of resentments and my behaviours which I now feel 100% capable of. I've spent a lot of time being a victim and blaming other people for the way that I have been feeling as well and I was also really stubborn and didn't want to hear any of these things even though our couples counsellor told us last year exactly what would happen to our relationship if I kept on being inconsistent etc to my partner and I didn't like what she was saying at the time and felt like she was blaming me so I decided that we would stop seeing her I decision I made upon reflection because she was hurting my ego too much. I've also expressed all this to my partner as well.
I so badly want to be back together with her and I would do anything and give anything to change this whole situation and to go back in time and do this self reflection work sooner and allow myself to listen to my partner and our couples counsellor I wish I could take away all the pain caused to everyone because of this and the worst part is that I've given our son the worst possible start to life now so I hate myself even more for that.
My partner says I had loads of chances to realise all this stuff and to change and I tried to point out to her that that is true but it doesn't always work like that and that's why it took her being unfaithful multiple times over 2 years before she fully realised her behaviours and how wrong they were and once she realised that she could then stop those behaviours. I've got to the same point it's taken me a year possibly to fully realise my behaviours and what I was doing wrong and now that I have fully realised I know I will never do them behaviours again but my partner says she just can't trust that that will be the case and that she will be constantly living in fear of things going back to being resentful. I made the point that this time last year I was also deep in living in fear that you would cheat on me again but with time and with work with my individual therapist I no longer have that fear especially with you consistently showing me that I don't need to fear you cheating on me again and that I just want the chance to prove that I won't be resentful and unloving towards you again. But she's not willing to give me another chance.
I'm devastated and I feel distraught and I want her back and I know I can treat her like how she deserves and like how I used to treat her for years before she told me everything. Is this a hopeless situation? Should she be leaving me because of the resentments I had as a result of her unfaithfulness? What can I do about this guilt and shame and regret which is eating me alive and making me feel physically sick? What can I do to get my girlfriend and my family back and have a new and better relationship together or do I just give up and let it be if she's lost hope and doesn't want to work on things?
We've been broken up nearly a week at this point and already I'm starting to be able to do things again more normally like driving and taking a shower without feeling really panicky and like I'm going to pass out as soon as I get in the shower or the car.
Apologies for the length of this.

2025.01.23 16:42 BungHoleAngler Longboard marathon interest?
Hey everybody.
I have been toying with the idea of organizing an annual longboard marathon on a 13 mile trail near me in Northwest Ohio in August.
It'd be pretty low key at least this first year, but I want to see if anybody here would be interested in traveling to join in a kinda casual 26 mile skate through woods and corn fields.
I know that's shorter than the big boy events discussed in this sub, but I figure that also means it's more accessible to skaters like me, who probably won't do ultraskate or honestly much more than 26 miles in a day.
Looking into t shirts, sponsors for prizes maybe, that kinda stuff.
Thoughts questions, tips?
Thanks in advance!

2025.01.23 16:42 pecan7 Guardrails, Dissenting Republicans, etc.
So, I think these first couple days have been pretty brutal. It’s a lot of stuff we can’t really be surprised by, as Trump stated again and again that all of this was on the menu if he got reelected, but it’s still jarring to see unfold.
The thing I keep wondering, and perhaps this is massive cope, is will there be any effort to put a stop to this? The Republican Party has been effectively poisoned by Trump, and was already quite evil before that. However, things like decimating the NIH, pardoning domestic terrorists, 25% tariffs, etc. will hurt constituents everywhere. I know a majority of the party has pledged loyalty to Trump, and perhaps there have been back room meetings about all of this with the entire caucus, but I find it hard to believe that there won’t be a few in the party not willing to go along with some of these things.
We know the guardrails seem weak as ever right now, but it remains that a lot of this shit will be taken to court. When some of the revenge-tour bills go to Congress, do we expect any Republicans to dissent? For Republicans with any sense of morals left, they have a lot of power to block this stuff considering the small majorities in both chambers.
I guess I’m holding out hope, and I expect to probably be wrong. The Republican Party has proven to be mostly filled by traitors, and with the threat of Elon-funded primaries for those who don’t go along with the MAGA agenda, I expect that to continue.
Yet, I still find it hard to believe that morals have escaped all 280-something Republicans in both chambers of Congress. Are there specific GOP members we could see breaking with MAGA? Clearly, I’m trying my hardest to remain optimistic.

2025.01.23 16:42 AsleepYellow3 Should I size down?
 | Last week I bought the Utti style in a size 40. They fit great bare feet, socks were uncomfortable with them which is fine for me. Decided to get the Boston to wear at home in the same size and they seem to run big. I’m not planning on wearing socks and I feel like they are kinda off because of the open back. I know they have an option with a strap at the back so I will consider getting those instead. But should I also size down to a 39 for a better fit?

I feel like at r5 he isnt as tanky as I would like, should I take him to r7 or is it not as worth it as it seems? I have a feeling someone will ask if I have Punishing One and the answer is yes and he is at 7 stars and Dengar is r8. submitted by Agreeable_Mix_652 to SWGalaxyOfHeroes [link] [comments] |
2025.01.23 16:42 episteme_137 Should I buy the S23 Ultra or the S25?
I'm a college student currently using the Galaxy A51 since 2020, but lately, it's been frustratingly laggy. So, I’ve decided it’s time for an upgrade and have narrowed it down to two options: the Galaxy S23 Ultra and the Galaxy S25.
Here’s my dilemma:
The S23 Ultra (₹71,000) is an absolute powerhouse in every way, but it only has 2 years of software updates left.
On the other hand, the S25 (₹80,000) boasts the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite, which is a massive leap in performance, and Samsung is offering 7 years of software updates for it.
While the S25 seems like the better long-term option, the S23 Ultra is priced lower and still a fantastic device.
Should I go for the S23 Ultra now or stretch my budget for the S25? Alternatively, would it be smarter to wait for a price drop on the S25? If so, how long do you think I’ll have to wait, and when is the next big sale?
I’d really appreciate your advice!

2025.01.23 16:42 0-_1_-0 Documents needed to be deemed "criminally rehabilitated"
I got a DUI 9 years. It was a probation before judgement, so no conviction. I live in the US. I'm planning on going to Canada for a week in July. Based on my understanding (and Form 5507 Document Checklist for Rehabilitation), the following are the documents that I need:
-The actual application for rehabilitation (Form 1444) -Passport photocopy -Court judgements made against me -The specific laws under which I was charged -Receipt for showing application payment -A criminal clearance from the police authorities in all countries where I have lived for more than 6 months after the age of 18 -A state certificate (or a letter from police authority) for each state I've lived in for more than 6 months after 18 AND a national FBI certificate
Here's my question: what is and where where do I get the things I made bold? The "criminal clearance", state certificate (or police letter), and national FBI certificate? I've never heard of these terms.
