2023.03.28 03:04 AriB313 Am I locked out of the Recovery Charm?
So I'm at the Water Mill Idol, and I was wanting to get all the same I could, and the only one left was the one from dragonrot (hadn't gotten it so far), that's easy, I just farm deaths until I get it, so I do that. I talk to Sculptor, then Emma (who's at Ashina Castle), and she does her normal dialogue of going through Dogen's documents. Here's the problem, I ALSO have completed the first step of the Purification ending, so when I talk to her after resting, she does he normal dialogue for THAT. So now I'm worried that I gave the Info Broker and Sculptor the dragon cancer for nothing.

2023.03.28 02:02 Virtual_Article4926 Need some guidance on how to more effectively use/save cash
Hello,
I am 28 years old. I make about $65k/year. I save 11% with a 4% match on my employer's part for a total of 15%. They max at 4% contribution. I have saved 7k in my 403b so far. I have some credit card debt that will be finished being paid off by the end of April. I live with family to save money on rent, and the only debt I have is my car 368$/month and my car insurnace 130$/month. I have about 1k in savings. Once I finish paying off my credit cards, I will be able to save about 2300$/month. I want to buy a house, but this just doesn't seem viable. How can I better position myself financially?
will hopefully have 23k in savings by the end of the year.
Proposed budget after credit cards:
Monthly income after taxes and 403b contributions:3300
Car payment: 368
Insurance: 130
Monthly fuel: 100$
spending allowance:$400
Savings: $2300

2023.03.27 23:59 JoJomusic1990 Need advice about having/navigating a discussion about my friend's envy.
So I have a friend, who has been single for a very long time. In fact, he's never really had a boyfriend. For the past 2 years or so (just around when COVID restrictions started lifting), he has gotten fixated on finding a boyfriend. Like it's all he can talk about. All conversations with him eventually lead to his complaining that he's single, guys don't like relationships, guys don't like him, guys are flaky/shallow, guys only want sex, guys only care about money etc. At first, I thought this was a temporary mindset and he was just reacting this strongly after lockdown because of the pandemic. But it has gotten worst as time has gone on.
What brought things to a head is that my fiancé and I got engaged a few months ago and have been slowly planning our wedding. At first he seemed happy for us, but as time has gone on, he's become very sippy, not just at us, but towards all the couples in our friend group. It's made a lot of people not want to get together to plan things out. My boyfriend and I are estranged from most of our families for the typical reasons, you might expect for gay men. So it means a lot of have our friends kind of take the roles that would have gone to family members and helping us plan.
He has made things unbearable and all about his singleness. He always has something sarcastic and negative to say ("Thanks for letting help out with planning your wedding, since I'm never going to have my own!", "I guess only the good looking guys get happily ever afters", "I guess the guys with money just want to marry each other and us peasants have to beg outside for scraps"). Please note, my fiancé and I are neither insanely rich or outstandingly handsome (well I think he is, but I'm bias), but it's like he's been lionising everything to make the wedding seem "outrageous", "unrealistic", or "unattainable".
He says these things in a "I just JOKING" way, and with anyone else I would probably believe that, but these catty/mean comments have been happening so frequently that I just don't buy that he means it light heartedly.
He also has had the audacity to ask me to set him up with dates, implying that I owe it to him since I'm having a wedding while he's still single and thus embarrassing him. Note, I've tried setting him up in the past, but according to the dudes I set him up with, he came on WAY too strong, was super clingy, and was already talking about relationships and LOVE before they had finished their coffee. And those guys are now in long term relationships with other men, so they were genuinely looking for relationships. So I honestly don't want to set him up with another friend, because that would be unfair to the friend.
The cherry on top is that he has started confiding to another single friend, whom has never said anything negative about being single. But now he's starting to immitate his behavior and has started to commiserate with him.
I know most of you will say to dump him as a friend. Admittedly, this would be the logical choice. But he was my first openly gay friend. When I came out to my family and my brother punched me and my father disowned me, he held me as a cried and drank myself to sleep that weekend. He's been there for me when I was at my lowest, I don't want to write him off unless I really have to.
I know I need to have a discussion with him about how his actions/statements/attitudes have become intolerable at this point. My friends and I have tried to broaching the topic before but he becomes defensive, will make excuses, and will redirect the conversation.
So how can I have a direct conversation with him, without him feeling threatened/criticized so he doesn't try to run away from the topic? How can I frame it? Should I have him come over one on one to watch TV, then transition into the discussion or should I tell him directly what I want to talk about? Should it just be me or should other friends that he's started to become critical of also be present to Voice their concerns/hurt, or would that make him feel like he's being gained up on?
Any experience and/or advice on organizing/framing this discussion would be of a great help.
TLDR: Chronically single friend had started to become intolerable toxic/mean/snippy since fiancé and I got engaged. His negatively is affecting the friend group and I need help on how to frame a discussion with him that won't feel overly critical so he doesn't try to deflect.

At San Diego Comic-Con in July, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson had other pShazam 2 Fury of the Godsple raising eyebrows when he said that his long-awaited superhero debut in Shazam 2 Fury of the Gods would be the beginning of “a new era” for the DC Extended Universe naturally followed: What did he mean? And what would that kind of reset mean for the remainder of DCEU's roster, including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the rest of the Justice League, Suicide Squad, Shazam and so on.As
Shazam 2 Fury of the Gods neared theaters, though, Johnson clarified that statement in a recent sit-down with Yahoo Entertainment (watch above).
“I feel like this is our opportunity now to expand the DC Universe and what we have in Shazam 2 Fury of the Gods, which I think is really cool just as a fan, is we introduce five new superheroes to the world,” Johnson tells us. Aldis Hodge's Hawkman, Noah CentinShazam 2 Fury of the Gods's Atom Smasher, Quintessa Swindell's Cyclone and Pierce Brosnan's Doctor Fate, who together comprise the Justice Society.) “One anti-hero.” (That would be DJ's Shazam 2 Fury of the Gods.)
“And what an opportunity. The Justice Society pre-dated the Justice League. So opportunity, expand out the universe, in my mind… all these characters interact. That's why you see in Shazam 2 Fury of the Gods, we acknowledge everyone: Batman , Superman , Wonder Woman, Flash, we acknowledge everybody.There's also some Easter eggs in there, too.So that's what I meant by the resetting.Maybe 'resetting' wasn't a good term.only
one can claim to be the most powerful superhero .And Johnson, when gently pressed, says it's his indestructible, 5,000-year-old Kahndaqi warrior also known as Teth-Adam, that is the most powerful superhero in any universe, DC, Marvel or otherwise
. "By the way, it's not hyperbole because we made the movie."And we made him this powerful.
There's nothing so wrong with “Shazam 2 Fury of the Gods” that it should be avoided, but nothing—besides the appealing presence of Dwayne Johnson—that makes it worth rushing out to see. spectacles that have more or less taken over studio filmmaking, but it accumulates the genre's—and the business's—bad habits into a single two- hour-plus package, and only hints at the format's occasional pleasures. “Shazam 2 Fury of the Gods” feels like a place-filler for a movie that's remaining to be made, but, in its bare and shrugged-off sufficiency, it does one positive thing that, if nothing else, at least accounts for its success: for all the churning action and elaborately jerry-rigged plot, there's little to distract from the movie's pedestal-like display of Johnson, its real-life superhero.
It's no less numbing to find material meant for children retconned for adults—and, in the process, for most of the naïve delight to be leached out, and for any serious concerns to be shoehorned in and then waved away with dazzle and noise. Shazam 2 Fury of the Gods” offers a moral realm that draws no lines, a personal one of simplistic stakes, a political one that suggests any interpretation, an audiovisual one that rehashes long-familiar tropes and repackages overused devices for a commercial experiment that might as well wear its import as its title. When I was in Paris in 1983, Jerry Lewis—yes, they really did love him there—had a new movie in theaters. You're Crazy, Jerry."Shazam 2 Fury of the Gods " could be retitled 'You're a Superhero, Dwayne'—it's the marketing team's PowerPoint presentation extended to feature length.
In addition to being Johnson's DC Universe debut, “Shazam 2 Fury of the Gods” is also notable for marking the return of Henry Cavill's Superman. The camShazam 2 Fury of the Gods is likely to set up future showdowns between the two characters, but Hodge was completely unaware of it until he saw the film.
“They kept that all the way under wraps, and I didn't know until maybe a day or two before the premiere,” he recently said Shazam 2 Fury of the Gods FULLMOVIE ONLINE

2023.03.27 19:25 angeladimauro In Defense of In-Person Appointments
I was very happy with how it all worked out. I called 14 days before my flight on a Monday and got an appointment for that Friday at the Buffalo office. I think I was in and out in under an hour. They told me to come back two hours later, and they had my passport all printed and ready to go. They weren't stingy about ink color, cause they gave me a blue pen to write in my state where I had forgotten it (though I would still recommend using black ink!) The people were very kind and efficient. Honestly, 10/10 would do again in ten years.
Personal notes:
I had a baby passport where my name is spelled with the cultural spelling instead of the legal spelling, they had no problem making the change to the legal spelling on my new passport so that I could have consistent documents. No, I have no idea how that was allowed to happen in the first place.
I'm from Mass, but I live in upstate NY for college (about 2.5 hours away from Buffalo) and applied with Mass documents.
I had copies of my documents with me, but they just made copies of all my stuff behind the counter, so that was nice.
Did not need to contact a Congressperson or Senator.
Paid with credit card (via Apple Pay).
Hope this helps some other people with questions about the process, feel free to ask about anything I might have missed!

2023.03.27 15:14 multiharvy Younger guy looking for dates (SYD)
Hey there!
I'm a 26-year-old indian man who's looking for a deep and meaningful connection with an older man (45+). I enjoy keeping up with the latest technology and gaming trends, and I'm also a fan of watching anime and TV shows in my free time.
When I'm not caught up in the world of anime or TV, I like to express myself through digital art and photography. There's something so special about capturing the world's beauty and transforming it into something shareable and unique. I also enjoy meditating from time to time to find some inner peace and clarity.
And of course, like many people, I'm a coffee lover. I enjoy testing out new blends and brewing methods to find that perfect cup.
As a demisexual, I need to form a deep emotional connection with someone before physical intimacy can be explored. I'm looking for someone who shares my values and is open to building a genuine connection.
If you're an older man who's looking for a passionate and engaging partner, let's connect over a cup of coffee or take a walk together. I'm open to all kinds of connections, from casual friendships to something more serious.
Thanks for taking the time to read my post, and I hope to hear from you soon!

I have a single-cam setup that shoots in 4k. I'm filming a 2-shot and want to crop in on the active speaker. Easy to do in an editing software, but am trying to do it while streaming.
Is there a device or streaming software that does this?
If not, I can make edits after but is there a software that can do this quickly to give clients shortly after recording? I saw Wisecut has an auto punch-in feature, but not sure if it works for 2 people.

2023.03.27 01:51 30Doc David Stockman on the Status of the Everything Bubble Created by the Fed
David Stockman on the Status of the Everything Bubble Created by the Fed
by
David Stockman 📷 Subscribe to
International Man The
Wall Street Journal recently brought word that a professor Efraim Benmelech of the finance department at Northwestern University thinks the Fed is hurting housing and the consumer too much. Opined he,
…….those higher interest rates are making mortgages more expensive and leading to fewer home sales. That leads to less spending on appliances, paint and other home goods, because people commonly buy those items ahead of a sale and after moving.“The actions of the Fed are leading to lower consumption,” he said.
You don’t say!
Then again, has it occurred to the good professor that the years and years of ultra low mortgage rates engineered by the Fed were totally unnatural, uneconomic and not sustainable?
The evidence for that is in the chart below. It shows that for most of the last three decades, the Fed drove the after-inflation or “real” interest rate on 30-year mortgages steadily lower until it actually turned negative.
Inflation-Adjusted Interest Rate on 30-Year Fixed Rate Mortgages, 1990 to 2023 📷
Stated differently, the unfolding recession is a long overdue and necessary purge of artificial economic activity stimulated and subsidized by the central bank’s own financial repression policies.
The Fed’s belated attempt to “normalize” interest rates, therefore, is not a mean-spirited policy to deliberately cause labor, manufacturing capacity and other economic resources to be idled. To the contrary, it’s a belated attempt to unshackle markets from the excesses, bubbles, malinvestments, inefficiencies and unsustainabilities that were the inherent results of decades of reckless money-printing.
One of the many bubbles created by the Fed’s relentless monetary expansion of recent years might be termed the “labor bubble”. By that we are referring to the madcap hiring undertaken by corporate HR departments in the aftermath of the Covid Lockdown disruption.
As it happened, they failed to meet staffing needs in the early days of the re-opening in 2021 owing to the fact that millions of workers had left the active labor force thanks to massive stimmies, early retirements and other welfare state inducements, along with mom and dad’s basements and checkbooks. So HR departments plunged into hiring “just in case” the re-opening boom of 2021 and early 2022 continued. In effect, they began to hoard labor.
Spotify CEO Daniel Ek admitted as much in a recent missive to employees announcing a 6% cut in the company’s workforce:
“In hindsight, I was too ambitious in investing ahead of our revenue growth. And for this reason, today, we are reducing our employee base by about 6% across the company. I take full accountability for the moves that got us here today,” the exec said.
Of course, the re-opening and stimmy boom didn’t last—notwithstanding the Fed’s massive money-pumping and monetization of the public debt issued to finance the $6 trillion of Covid bailouts.
Since the spring of 2021 when the stimmies peaked, the US economy has actually been slouching toward idle. In fact, once you strain out of the GDP numbers the one-time inventory rebuilding, which was necessitated by the drastic depletion of merchandise stocks triggered by the stimmy based consumer spend-a-thons,
there is hardly any organic growth left.
As shown in the chart below, the combination of Dr. Fauci’s Virus Patrol and the Washington spenders did a real number on the business economy. First, the normal business inventory-to-sales ratio exploded to the upside during the initial lockdowns and spending collapse, and then plunged to unprecedented lows as the stimmy-fueled boom in Amazon orders drained the system of its working inventories.
Whipsaw of Business Inventory-to-Sales Ratio, 2018 to 2022 📷
Since reaching bottom in October 2021 inventories have been rebuilt to nearly normal levels, but that’s just the problem. The GDP gain reflected in the inventory rebuild is just a case of “one and done”. In fact, with the interest cost of carrying inventories now rising rapidly it is likely that the business sector restocking is over.
As we indicated, once you peel back the effect of inventory restocking, the stagnation of the US economy is starkly apparent. For instance, in the case of the industrial production index, which covers all of manufacturing, energy, mining and utility output, the level in March 2022 stood at 103.5.
As it happened, the index posted at a nearly identical 103.4 in December. Call it nine months of “growth” to nowhere!

Needless to say, none of this madness would have happened without the enabling hand of the Federal Reserve. Editor’s Note: The truth is, we’re on the cusp of an economic crisis that could eclipse anything we’ve seen before. And most people won’t be prepared for what’s coming. submitted by

2023.03.26 17:15 InevitableCautious22 Solo travel hotel location
Hey all. I’m thinking about planning a trip in the autumn as a solo traveller from the UK. I have been twice before; once was a school trip where we stayed at a hostel, and the second time I stayed in midtown. I just wondered what locations you’d recommend to stay this time around as a solo female? I live in London so pretty ok with walking around alone and being on alert but just wondered if there were certain areas you’d recommend or not recommend, please? Done most of the touristy things on previous trips so apart from maybe one new observation deck, I’m just looking to explore more local sights, including more of Brooklyn and hopping on and off the subway I guess.
Any area recs would be appreciated to give me a different experience to prior trips. Thank you ☺️

2023.03.26 16:44 Dragons-purr Does this pain sound psychological or organic to you?
I’ve had chronic pain in my legs since I was a child. It’s pain in the joints of the legs, and stiffness and pain in the muscles. It usually happens when I’ve been walking/sitting in the same position for a bit (how long depends on the day- could be pretty much immediately, could be after half an hour). It makes it very difficult to walk. Because of this and a functional neurological disorder, I use a walking frame and mobility scooter to get around. I don’t take painkillers but the pain is helped a lot by heat packs
Everyone initially dismissed it as growing pains as I wasn’t very disabled by it as a child, it didn’t come on very often. I only started seeing a doctor again when I hit my 20s. They did every test under the sun; blood tests, x-rays, ultrasounds. Everything came back clear so my doctor started to talk about it being psychological pain. She explained how painkillers probably wouldn’t help because of it (this explained why paracetamol didn’t work on it)
The thing that’s made me challenge this thought was that I recently had necrotising pancreatitis which meant I was on 100mg+ oxycodone a day (a ridiculously high dose). After a few weeks I realised that I hadn’t had the pain in my legs for the whole time I’d been on oxycodone. So maybe painkillers DO help my pain, they just have to be really strong ones? This is making me think maybe there is some physical cause for my pain? What do you think?

2023.03.26 07:52 No-Fox3154 advice on family life
I’m 19F living on my own in college, I’m high school I was a picture perfect student was involved with student body, honor tool, class president, I went to what’s considered a “public ivy” but decided to transfer back to a home state school to save money on undergraduate. My mom 41F and I have butted heads ever since I left for college she was upset I chose out of state, but even more upset when I decided to come back in state. I grew up with what you would consider a tiger mom, she was on my back about absolutely everything I had a curfew of 9pm, was not allowed to go out two days in a row, she would regularly email my teachers to see if I had assignments missing, etc. She also gave birth to my younger sibling now 4 while I was in high school so I was forced to watch them after school when I didn’t have a school activity and when covid hit I was strictly child care. Fast forward, I couldn’t wait to have my own independence away from my toxic household, my dad constantly belittles me about my appearance and weight because I don’t fit the Asian beauty standard. I moved away and came back to instate, during school my mom would religiously check my location on Life360 if I was out past 8pm she would ask where I was going, she also constantly is checking my bank statements when I purchase something. I’m now a second year student living in student housing that requires a co-signer but I pay for my rent myself. My mom recently found out I failed two classes while at school by calling the school posing as me to retrieve my college login. She has now forced me to move back home, break my lease, and work full time to “pay off my debt” with her because she took out a loan for me while I was out of state for a year. She has already taken her name off my lease as my co-signer and I have no one else to replace me. I work 30 hours a week on top of going to school, but every paycheck that is deposited she takes out of my account and only gives back when my rent is due giving me no spending money. I absolutely do not want to go home but I have no money for rent and no co-signer for my lease and don’t know what to do. Moving back home will just cause my depression and anxiety to spiral out of control again. My parents will constantly remind me that’s I am a disgrace, that I am no where in my life, and all on top of belittling my appearance. Any tips and advice on what I should do ? I’m desperate my mother is driving down tomorrow to speak with my leasing office to break my lease.

2023.03.26 07:24 Lucking777 23 [M4F] UK East Midlands. Looking for someone to chat with and see where it goes.
Hey, I'm looking for someone who I can connect with that shares similar hobbies and interests. I like to enjoy gaming on pc mainly, games like Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077 and Persona 5 royal are a few I'm currently playing.
For sports I'm mainly into football but I have seen some basketball and American football to if you are into that, I'm fairly friendly and open minded to different topics however I do at the start of a convo send some shorter messages but once I'm comfortable you might get some paragraphs lol. Currently watching TV shows and started working out in my free time, kind of fell off anime a bit but my burnout phase is pretty much done so if you have any recommendations for games, anime or shows etc I'm all for it. Best thing I'm watching rn is Better Call Saul and yes I've watched it before breaking bad lol.
Hopefully this reaches the right person and if you have any hobbies of your own you would like to discuss I'm very open minded to hear it but it'll take me a couple of texts before I start sending the long messages.
Few details about me if you are interested Gender:Male Age:23 Height:5'8-5'9 Body type:Average
