27 female, healthy BMI, no significant pmhx. I take vyvanse and Prozac daily, as well as a multivitamin.
I want to start by saying I do NOT believe this is an emergency situation as it’s been going on for about 2 days now, and I am a nurse so I trust my judgement somewhat although I know I’m not the best nurse for my own self.
The past 3 days I’ve had this really uncomfortable naggging shortness of breath. I’m in the southeast United States so I’m not exactly close to the forest fire in Canada, but we do have an air quality warning in effect. This started the same day our air quality warning was issued. I lost my home pulse ox so idk what I’m satting, but my skin is nice and pink/warm, so no cyanosis. I don’t think I’m hypoxic. No headache, no wheezing, coughing, etc. just a constant feeling of not being able to inhale completely. I tried listening to my lungs, and in the spots I was able to hit myself, they sounded clear and good. Some tachycardia on and off but that’s normal for me from taking vyvanse. I do get seasonal allergies but not so bad that I need to take medication every day. Never been dx with asthma or any kind of respiratory illness. I’ve had covid twice while vaccinated and recovered fine. Most recent known covid was in February. I’m debating on whether or not I should go to an urgent care this weekend for an inhaler rx or just try to wait until the air pollution clears? Any suggestions? Thank you

29F, 115 pounds, 5'8, Caucasian, lingering Mastoiditis in right ear, May 12th-Current, no drinking or substance abuse.
Short Version: I had an ear infection and severe pain, but was misdiagnosed at urgent care with swimmer's ear. Later diagnosed with acute Mastoiditis and hospitalized for two days. Treatment with Bactrim IV and a week-long course of Augmentin reduced pain, but lingering pain and swollen lymph node remain. Did another course of Augmentin. Need follow-up imaging, but both ENT and hospital refused. Can't see new ENT until the June 14th and don't want to keep going to the ER. Seeking advice on how to proceed and expected healing process for Mastoiditis.
Full version: On May 12th, I visited urgent care due to an ear infection and stabbing pain. Unfortunately, I was misdiagnosed and was later diagnosed with acute Mastoiditis when I went to the ER. I stayed in the hospital for two days and received Bactrim IV. However, there was no discharge from the ear and no biopsy of fluid to determine the type of bacteria or viral infection. I was sent home with a 1-week course of Augmentin, which reduced the pain, but the ear was still irritated. I did another 1-week course of Augmentin, but last week, I went back to the ER due to full body and chest pain, and numbness in my left arm. Fortunately, the nerve pain subsided after I finished the Augmentin course, and imaging showed no heart issues, and my blood work was normal. However, I still experience lingering pain and swollen lymph nodes, and my facial muscle feels weird. I have been refused follow-up CT imaging by the ENT and the hospital. As I cannot keep going back to the ER, I need imaging to see if the fluid in the Mastoid is gone and why I still experience swelling. I am unable to see an ENT until the 14th and usually get sent home and told to go to the ER. Please advise me on how to proceed in getting imaging and the expected healing process for Mastoiditis.

We’ve been married for 9 years and let me start by saying, I entered into this relationship knowing it would be difficult. When we met, I was a young professional and my now wife was a bartender. She’s now a 3rd grade teacher.
We have a 5 year old and 2.5 year old. She’s never taken the kids to the park or anywhere really, I take them always. I play outside with them and we go on walks and fun places but often it’s just me and the kids. Honestly in the past 5 years, I have had not a single weekend of me by myself.
She has not cooked a meal in years. I cook 3 times a week and the other days I pickup food for us or take us out.
I pay all the bills and handle finances. I have to pay her dr bills for her else they don’t get paid. Same thing with credit cards and car payment etc.
I take the kids to all their dr apts, to the dentist, to urgent care when needed.
I do all the dishes, I do all vacuuming. I clean all the bathrooms etc. she will do some laundry occasionally but usually it’s me also.
I do all the grocery shopping, all the trips to the store for random things.
I also handle all kid duties, when they wake up at night, I’m the only one that gets up, haven’t slept a fulll night in years and yet here my wife is sleeping every night.
She gets mad that the kids don’t want her to put them down at night and is jealous of the love they show me but when I try to tell her that she’s basically absent she denies it.
She honestly has no self reliant skills and is a constant complainer to the point I feel like she’s my 3rd child.
Help!

I'm Iskarel. I maintain the PvE Thief builds and guides on Snow Crows
With a PvE perspective, I'm going to run through the changes, discuss their impact, and talk about current meta builds and how they're impacted.
Want the build-by-build cliff notes? Skip to the bottom, search for "tl;dr"
I know this is a lot. Think of it as a reference document.
A LOT has changed. The builds aren't unrecognizable but the texture has changed almost across the board.

Flanking is Dead (for most endgame bosse)

To make them more reliable in endgame PvE content, all effects that benefit when the player strikes from the flank or from behind now always apply their benefits when striking defiant foes.

Not all players know that "flanking" or "from behind or the sides" just means—don't be in front of the target.
Ever used a build with Thief runes? Just don't stand directly in front of the target.
What fewer players will know is that there's a small set of skills that actually need you to be ~180-degrees behind your target.

• Thief Backstab (deals double damage from behind)
• Thief Sword Stealth Attack (only dazes from behind)
• Ranger Greatsword Hilt (dazes from the front, stuns from behind. This basically doesn't matter in PvE)
• Mesmer Downstate phantasm (deals more damage if the phantasm hits from behind. Hey it's like a Thief!)

Which way does Keep Construct face when it descends back to the arena after the orb-rift-push phase?
Which way does Sabetha face during her Flame Wall?
I'm not going to answer these questions because the answers don't matter anymore! This skill expression is now gone.
Just backstab from any angle.
Ah but "defiant foes"? What isn't included there?
Can you backstab Primordus in the Harvest Temple strike if your group stays on the left vs right side, when looking from the center towards the dragon?

You would have to be on the right side. The left is the dragon's face.

Which way does Conjured Amalgamate face?

When approaching CA's platform, it is facing to your right. This also applies to the hands. Stand on the left side of the platform, and "above" the hands (closer to the portal leading away from this encounter).

Which way do the hands on Adina face?

2 o'clock (north), 5 o'clock (northwest), 7 o'clock (south), 10 o'clock (southeast)
No, I don't know why.
Just use your rifle and pierce two hands with Spotter's Shot + Death's Judgment! That's better than remembering these facing positions.

These are non-defiant "prop" type enemies. Also included here is Drakkar, the Octovine, and Tequatl. IIRC.
BTW Drakkar is made up 17 prop pieces, and you can only cast Deadeye's Mark on one of them. Don't play Deadeye here, you're trolling yourself. :D

Acrobatics Mental Gymnastics

Yeah this ain't it, chief. This is still a defensive and mobility-oriented traitline.
The damage modifier in Endless Stamina can't compete with Deadly Arts or Critical Strikes, even when combined with the Power in Swinder's Equilibrium.
The other stuff is maybe interesting for solo open world champions but Shadow Arts is already quite capable at that, and Condition Thief has a lot more toys to work with when solo compared to Power.
It's something but this traitline still feels ironically directionless.

Improvisational Theater of War

Interesting! We can now use this traitline predictably, resetting the cooldown of all or utility skills. On the surface that's good because it means we'll always get value out of the reset...unless our skill uses are staggered. More on that later.

Mag Bomb Delenda Est.

Currently this skill's damage-per-cast-time is roughly double that of Daredevil Staff 2, Weakening Charge. Notably, the cast time is short because it pulses damage.
The coefficient we have on the wiki, drawn from the Game's API, is 4.10. ANet lists a 1.50 (per hit, so 4.50 total) nerfed to 0.70. So... Uh...
Let's say Throw Magnetic Bomb's damage is nerfed to 50% of its current damage. Or there about.
So next patch, one Throw Magnetic Bomb is close to the damage of one Staff 2, but the damage comes out over time (during our Assassin Signet burst) and the cast animation is faster than Staff 2.

But is it worth losing Executioner?
Probably not. Executioner is approximately 9.52% damage on a fight that spends 50% of its time above 50% target HP and 50% of time below (due to Ferocious Strikes).
That's a lot of damage to be made up by another use of a stolen skill!

Daredevil's Bound to be Good

Bound: Increased power coefficient from 1.75 to 3.5

This ratchets up the damage of our dodge so that it beats the damage-per-cast-time of Punishing Strikes (skill 1 part C) and Staff 5, while still losing to Staff Strike and Staff Bash (skill 1 parts A/B), Staff 2, and Fist Flurry/Palm Strike.
This damage increase is valuable because

• (A) it makes dodging better for damage, on top of the damage modifiers provided by Havoc Specialist and Bounding Dodger
• (B) if we get excess endurance from our helpful allies, burning it off to maintain our modifiers hurts our DPS less on the future patch.

Auto chain go brrrr

Staff Strike, Staff Bash: Increased power coefficient.

... Uh oh.
This increase the DPS of the first and second part of the chain well beyond the last hit.
The optimal DPS rotation now involves interrupting the chain after the 2nd hit.
That's not easy to do on most professions, which have a limited number of viable interrupts, but we're Thief, baby!
Staff Strike, Staff Bash, Weakening Charge. Repeat. Throw in a Fist Flurry. Save your Palm Strike. Yeah. This sort of thing.
Calculations done by REMagic42 ( training-accident-36 ) show the following

• new auto chain interrupt rotation: 40,252
• old benchmark rotation: 38,593

A not insignificant DPS increase provided by this (unintended?) balance predicament.
You could just not do this. That's up to you. The build is getting buffed by ~4,000 DPS next patch but it still has all the old problems. Don't know those? Read here

Let's Get Physical (Lights out, follow the noise)

Various Physical Skill cooldown reductions

These are neat and strictly a positive.
Left, a great player who provides benchmarks for Power and Condition Daredevil, already tested Condition Daredevil with cooldown-traited Impairing Daggers and found them simply worse in group content vs Devourer Venom. You can read more on his benchmark.
So the Impairing Daggers cooldown reduction (CDR) doesn't matter to us.
A cooldown reduction for Channeled Vigor would've been cool!

This skill basically gives you a get-out-of-jail-free dodge if you're ever scared that burning all your dodges for Havoc Specialist will leave you vulnerable. You can get a dodge with Withdraw on a shorter cooldown but that travels backwards from your facing direction which can be scary.
This skill is also very useful for maintaining Lotus Training uptime when playing Condition Daredevil. If you can't keep hitting the boss with your auto-attack chain and F1 Steal, you will run out of endurance and lose your condition damage buff. Use Channeled Vigor to maintain buff uptime when you can't hit the boss. (This tip comes from Left!)

Impact Strike is still worse defiance-bar to cooldown ratio vs Basilisk Venom, but any improvement is nice. This skill is good when you can't guarantee all hits of Basilisk Venom will hit your target, or when you need to CC more frequently than Basilisk's cooldown allows.

Death-onate Plasma and "Boon Thief"

Farewell, Boon Thief. Without Quickness, we can no longer role-compress all those shiny boons in Plasma into a Quickness Build.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that the damage of Detonate Plasma will not be worth its cast time purely from a DPS perspective, especially on a Condition Build, but you might still get some boon uptime from Daredevils on fights like Matthias and Twin Largos' Kenut.
You can now permanently sunset your Celestial/Ritualist gear for Boon Thief. Will you use it for Alacrity Specter later? I don't now, I don't know how much Alacrity is given by that trait. We'll talk more later. :)

Also Icebrood Saga exists

These really don't matter. Unstable Reagent is maybe a DPS increase, I don't have a log with it for cast time.
This is NOT Unstable Artifact BTW. That skill is still worth using for both Power and Condition DPS.
Cursed Artifact is like throw-Plaguelands, and an Ethereal field at that. It's free real estate on the Condition Build.
Time in a Bottle is squad-wide alacrity AND quickness. Take that, Chronomancer! It's only found in Cold War and randomly in EoD strikes. :)

Dumbed-down-eye

Deadeye Stolen Skill splash support

Stolen Skills now grant their beneficial effects around the caster.

These are mostly "splash" uptimes of boons, but you can also get superspeed and a modest heal. Neat! Deadeye providing a token amount of squad value beyond its DPS and CC output.

Deadeye Malicious Intent buff

Malicious Intent: Increased Malice gain from 1 to 2 in PvE only

This is actually big!
Firstly, this increases the damage dealt by the lower difficulty Be Quick or Be Killed Dagger Deadeye rotation (if you've ever heard someone described Dagger Deadeye as 5111151115111, that's this).

1 more Malice pip after each Mark and Stealth attack boost the damage modifier of Malicious Backstab. I don't have a quick estimate for this increase yet.

Secondly, this is wonderful for the Dagger-Dagger Maleficent Seven rotation.

All Power Dagger skills (Heartseeker, Dancing Dagger, Cloak & Dagger) are single-damage packet skills (with the exception of Dancing Dagger when bounced from your main target, to another enemy, and back to your main target). This means they have only one chance to score a crit, and thus only one chance to earn 2 Malice instead of 1.
Power Thief derives 15% critical chance from Critical Strikes' Keen Observer trait, which demands the player stay above 75% HP. You won't have 100% uptime of this trait in many raid fights, especially if your healer is slacking. If the current Dagger Deadeye benchmark was performed at 75% player HP, without drastically altering gear to accommodate for the missing critical chance, the benchmark could lose up to 12,000 DPS!, dropping it nearly into support territory.
This Malicious Intent buff gives you a safety cushion for one of those Initiative skills to score a non-crit, making the rotation more robust in endgame encounters. It does NOT reduce the minimum number of Initiative skills needed to reach maximum Malice: that is still 3 with Malicious Intent and 4 without. It does reduce the maximum needed by 1 skill, which is also great!

Quickly Fire For Effect

This trait no longer requires a target to grant boons to allies.

Er, it doesn't require one right now. Specifically, if you Mark a target, you can use your F2 and gain boons even if your stolen skill is obstructed by terrain. If you have your enemy targeted while outside 1,500 range you will get an out of range error that stops you from casting F2, but simply untargeting the enemy will let you use the skill to get boons. If you are obstructed or out of range, you don't hit the target.
I assume what this means is that if you do NOT have a marked target, you can cast a cantrip to get a new F2. That's cool and rather handy for the new Quickness build.

Shadow Flare isn't real, it can't hurt you

Shadow Flare: Reduced cooldown from 30 to 20 seconds. This skill only damages once instead of pulsing. Activate the flip-over Shadow Swap to trigger another damage instance from your original location.

Deadeye dumbed down. Navigating self-reveal with pulsing damage skills on DPS Deadeye has been a hallmark of modern builds for several years—Shadow Flare for Power, Thousand Needles for Condition.
That problem is now eliminated for Power. You don't need to know the timing, you don't need to know where to throw Shadow Flare. Just Do your backstab, cast Shadow Flare for one damage packet, cast it again, go for another Backstab. No fuss, no skill expression, no frustration, no learning curve.
I don't like this change, I understand why other people like this change. I think it's dumb to change this. If you don't like self-reveal, consider not playing the class that uses Stealth and Revealed for its DPS output.

Fun in the Chamber

One in the Chamber: This trait now also increase the damage of F2 Stolen Skills in addition to its previous effects

In case anyone is unfamiliar with Deadeye—it doesn't have access to any core Stolen Skills. No Mag Bombs here!
This is a nice perk. The important thing is that this trait gives us an extra F2 charge every time we use a Stolen Skill...That's for Quickness.
This trait is also valuable to Condition Deadeye builds (particularly since there's a 4/9 chance they get a stolen skill that applies damaging conditions!) and to Power Pistol-Pistol Deadeye. See more of that here.

Binding Shadow, my beloved

Binding Shadow - Reduced cooldown from 30 to20 seconds in PvE.

Cool! I love—

This skill now immobilizes marked targets instead of knocking them down

Oh. Uhhh it already immobilized them. I assume it immobilizes them more? That sucks, this was an amazing breakbar skill, particular on Condition Deadeye where it applied several poison stacks (natively, and via Panic Strike with Immobilize) and gave an extra F2 charge from One in the Chamber.
It's lower cooldown on boonstrip which is neat? Matches No Pain No Gain time in Fractals, I suppose.
Just use a Power Mesmer, they passively breathe boonstrip.

Quickness Deadeye builds

Three options!
Oops! All cantrips

This option will spam out cantrip like nobody's business to meet the voracious demand of Might uptime.
Fire For Effect grants 8 stacks of Might for 12 seconds. The with-Alacrity cooldown of Cantrips are: 16 (Binding Shadow, Shadow Flare), 20 seconds (Malicious Restoration heal), 25 seconds (Mercy, Shadow Gust). When using Mercy, the cooldown of F1 is effectively the cooldown of Mercy, plus minimally the cast time of the F2, plus the cast time of F1 again.
So some of our Might is locked behind 25+ seconds. Building for 100% Might Duration would be devastating for our DPS output. We could cover 100% Might uptime with a single trio of F2 casts anyway—Binding Shadow, Malicious Restoration, Shadow Flare—but that would not take tactical advantage of the natural Deadeye's Mark cooldown.
Instead, we'll cover Quickness with two sets of F2 casts, staggered across the duration of our Might stacks. Left has an old benchmark demonstrating this technique.

So that's our 24-might upkeep option. It's not pretty, and it's Cantrip spam. ANet said we wouldn't have this in the game anymore.
Well, what if we don't have to generate Might?
Then we have two options:
3 cantrips with no Improvisation

This option will maintain a burst of 24 might as we apply quickness, or we can space out the stolen skills to maintain at least 8 stacks indefinitely. Sounds pretty good!

Improvisation

We'll probably still be using Shadow Flare because it's just good damage, and Improvisation selects for builds that use active utility skills, not passive signets. We might even be able to use Malicious Intent instead of One in the Chamber for this build, earning us more damage on Malicious Backstab.

So we have options.

Quickness Deadeye weapon options (We don't have those! )

Maleficent Seven is the only equalizer at work that allows bad weapons to do somewhat okay, and without that, we're back to shopping with the to the usual harsh restriction of "the best single skill out of all these weapons crushes the validity of all other options".
Stealth attacks? Naw, just spam F2s without Malice.
"Filler" initiative skills used to build up to an Initiative reset at max Malice? Nope, don't care, whatever has the best initiative-to-damage ratio is what we're running.
Thief Dagger is about matched with Thief sword for auto attack damage but Dagger is home to the centralizing Cloak & Dagger → Backstab combo. This does huge damage from any direction—flanking is gone!
Sword, by contrast, suffers a DPS loss when using any dual wield skill, Headshot, or Black Powder. The only DPS gain skills are Cloak & Dagger (but the stealth attack for sword is BARELY worth using, you could actually just cast Cloak & Dagger twice in a row and do just as well), and Sword 2...without using the return-to shadowstep. Meaning Sword 2 has a 15-second cooldown. Just to do slightly more than the auto-attack.
Need CC? Pack an off-hand pistol and fill time with auto-attacks, they're very good.
What about Pistol?

It's just weaker.

Shortbow?

It sucks really bad against single targets.

Rifle? This is the sniper spec!

It sucks if you don't have Maleficent Seven for infinite Initiative and either stealth utility skills or Silent Scope to unlock Death's Judgment.

Specter, rant about single-target/ally-target support

Ally-targeted scepter skills now also grant a lesser effect to additional allies in a radius around the target.

I don't know why ANet is so obsessed with single target support for PvE Specter, but they'll learn its untenable eventually. They've been gradually walking back the single target focus ever since release, and we are now about 15 months past Specter's official release and coming up on 2 years since it's beta.
Ally-targeting is clunky.
Single-target support is nonviable. We have encounters that apply arena damage to all players, and each player in the squad can take damage from the same AoE and it's the healer's job to keep the whole team up.
A "lesser effect". Reduced duration? Great, what's the point of that? You might as well just make it all the reduced duration.
Does "splashed" Shadow Sap not even grant protection to the other allies? Great, we won't use it.
Hopefully this will just be something like reduced Barrier or Healing, and the Boons are intact, but it's already been confirmed by the new member of the design team, Trig, on a Twitch Stream (Mighty Teapot's?) that Endless Night will not give Quickness to "splashed" allies.
Maybe this skill shouldn't give quickness at all. Why is the design team not skill splitting? What are they afraid of?

The Dark Side of Scepter Splash

If you paid attention to Specter during its beta testing, you might be aware of a very weird build that used Endless Night (Scepter Pistol dual wield beam skill that granted quickness and 7-packets of Barrier to 3 allies, if you could pierce through the allies).
This rotation was initially theorycrafted by Left when Specter was first showed off. I did some early proof-of-concept on the build, then Left took it over and improved it to around 51,000 DPS.
That's a lot of damage!
Watch that video briefly, and notice how I swap between the enemy and my allies, applying one skill to the target then the Endless Night beam to my allies.
When Specter applies barrier to an ally, they receive a stack of Rotwallow Venom, which applies a short-duration stack of torment to a single enemy just like normal venoms.
Each cast of Endless Night back then was 21 applications of Rotwallow Venom, with more Torment duration than we have now.
ANet killed that build back during beta by making the beam target a single enemy, nerfing the quickness application, nerfing Rotwallow Venom duration, nerfing Specter's Torment damage modifier, nerfing Consume Shadows to require charging up.... The list goes on.
Why do I bring this up?

Scepter Autos on Allies

Currently the scepter auto chain applies 54 seconds of Torment (in the form of multiple stacks). If the scepter auto chain can instead apply barrier to 3 allies, then this balloons to 72 seconds without Strength of Shadows, or 108 seconds with Strength of Shadows.
Yes.
The auto-attack chain will be twice as strong when targeting allies, vs targeting the enemy.
Endless Night is not worth using against an enemy target, but it might be worth using on allies. This rotation won't have room for auto attacks, so I'm not pinning any hopes to this.
No, the optimal damage rotation will probably be Twilight combo, Siphon, and Shroud skills on the enemy, then filling time with Scepter skills on allies. We will probably spend less time in Shroud because those autos are just so cracked...

Second Opinion, moving away from Consume Shadows

Ever since beta all forms of Specter have run Consume Shadows—Alacrity, DPS, Heal. This is because Consume Shadows can apply barrier to allies, giving them Rotwallow venom. The other adept traits are purely defensive, so they're not used by the DPS and Alacrity builds...and Consume Shadows is an extremely potent healing tool. So potent, it's been nerfed repeatedly!

Charged time reduced from instant to 4 seconds, maximum shroud cut by more than 50%, conversion ratio reduced from 100 to 50%

Second Opinion will grant bonus Condition Damage, more with a Scepter. This should be, at minimum, +80/+80, which will beat the ~800 DPS provided by perfect Rotwallow Venom application from Consume Shadows.
Perfect?

If your allies are too injured and Consume Shadows only heals them overflowing into Barrier, you won't give them Rotwallow.

Traversing Dusk no longer gives Alacrity

This is just a heal trait now. That's just what it does.

Shadestep is the new Alacrity trait

Oh. Uh. I'll keep it quick.

1. This reduces our gameplay from 2 separate rotations with their own quirks and different Shroud lengths, to 1—the DPS rotation.

How do you give alacrity? Just go into shroud and push buttons.
How do you do DPS? Just go into shroud and push buttons.
Alacrity Specter's Well cooldowns were inaccessible inside Shadow Shroud because we inherited a shroud, not just a kit like Druid's Celestial Avatar or Holosmith's Photon Forge.
Druid Spirits off cooldown while in CA? Don't care, you can push em.
Specter wells off cooldown while in Shadow Shroud? You might be gaining DPS from shroud skills, or healing from Consume Shadows, but you're losing Alacrity uptime. Is that tradeoff worth it?
Doesn't matter anymore. Just do the benchmark DPS rotation.
You're too slow? Then your alacrity uptime will suffer. You need to be on pace with going in and out of shroud, just like the DPS rotation. Difference is, if you're bad at this, it's going to frustrate other people.
This is not the hardest rotation in game to optimize and you of course have the option to make it easier with Ritualist gear (which you should do anyway if you plan to still run Consume Shadows, will be a two-fold personal DPS loss).

\2. Ever been kicked out of Shroud by incoming damage in a raid/strike/open world meta? No more Alacrity uptime for you. Better refill your Shadow Force quickly—and Larcenous Torment generates Shadow Force FAR more slowly than Traversing Dusk

Fun fact: Traversing Dusk's 1% Shadow Force per ally in your shadowstep scales indefinitely, not just up to 5 players. That gives you colossal Shadow Force generation in crowded metas and even raids.

Want to use your Siphon on ally? No you don't, that's valuable Shadow Force generation you need to maintain tempo for Alacrity.
Again, you can wear Ritualist gear to soften this loss.
Want to have the utility of Well of Bounty? Well, previously that utility was tied to your Alacrity uptime, your DPS uptime (lingering outside shroud for Well of Bounty was a loss), and your healing output (Traversing Dusk, and maintaining tempo in/out of Shadow Shroud for Consume Shadows).
Now you can take Well of Bounty and have it on demand, at a DPS loss.
Previously you could have just take advantage of the long Stability duration to cast this well early, or delay it slightly to cover the mechanic.

How much DPS will ANet allow this build to have?
We don't know. And now it's DPS is very closely tied to the DPS build because they're doing nearly the exact same thing.
This has never happened to Firebrand, trust me.

tl;dr It's dangerous to read all that up there! Skip to here!

Condition Daredevil

Unchanged by Impairing Daggers cooldown reduction

Power Daredevil

Buffed to ~38.6 if you do the old rotation.
Buffed to 40.2 if you do the new degenerate 1a 1b 2 1a 1b 2 rotation that interrupts our auto chain.
Still screwed by all the usual stuff.
Mag Bomb damage normalized. Cool. Still amazing utility on that skill.

Boon Thief

Dead. Deadeye killed it.

Power Dagger Deadeye

Much easier to play. Splashes some cute boons onto its subgroup, at random. Have to see if Shadow Flare is still worth using. Hopefully, right?

Power Rifle Deadeye

Silent Scope uses Shadow Flare, I hope that's still worth using.
No need to flank with Premeditation Rifle is nice. Swapping Impact to an Accuracy sigil (or not doing that, and losing crit chance) was ~1,200 DPS loss, so that's avoided. I don't mind losing flanking here that much because Flanking wasn't make-or-break adrenaline pumping like dagger. It was just a boring loss.

Quickness Deadeye

I hope you like pushing 5 and 1 a whole lot because that's almost all this is. Also pushing cantrips for F2 charges to provide quickness.
It will play okay, but pretttttttttty similar to utility-spam builds that people hate, with the added bonus of casting TWO skills for every application of quickness.
You can tune this to your liking BUT

IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MANY WAYS THIS GAME'S ENEMIES CAN APPLY REVEALED TO YOU THEN YOU'RE IN FOR A TREAT WHEN YOU PICK UP QUICKNESS DEADEYE NEXT PATCH :D

It won't really prevent you from applying quickness but it will tank your DPS and fracture your soul.
One of us. One of us!
This is getting no changes, by the way. It'd be a huge amount of effort from the studio's programmers for one elite spec, for one profession, largely in one game mode (instanced PvE), with a small player base.
Probably just not happening. Not a question of "want to", it's a question of resource management AND doing this right.
Remember stealth-tanking Old Lion's Court? Because they didn't apply Revealed, then they only applied Revealed once and Deadeye just Shadow Melded out of it?

DPS Specter

Buffed by Second Opinion, dubiously buffed by targeting allies with the auto chain.
You can still run Consume Shadows for team healing/barrier.

Alacrity Specter

I don't know. Presumably the shroud skills will allow us to provide at least 50% uptime with a non-degenerate rotation (one that doesn't have us spending all our time in shroud). Said degenerate rotation is naturally policed by the fact our shroud absorbs incoming damage.
Will it run Consume Shadows? Not for optimal damage anymore.

Alac Share Specter

Just change your grandmaster from Strength of Shadows to Shadestep and do the normal rotation. Should do at least 50% uptime, unless Alac specter is just nonviable and can't maintain Alacrity.

I just want opinions on what I might have going on. Was cycling down stairs Monday afternoon during a training course I was in. Made it down fine, but lost control of my bike after coming off the staircase. The bike laid down to my right over my ankle and i fell. While falling, I instinctually stuck my right forearm out and it caught on a cement wall. My arm fully extended as I fell, and i felt a very sharp painful pop in my shoulder. I was seen by a doctor the next day, and i personally put my pain between a 5-7 depending on how my arm is bent and if i try to lift it. Regardless of how I bend it, I can't lift beyond shoulder height (or parallel to the shoulder if that explains it better). I have pain when attempting to reach across. My movements are slow with it and it feels heavy to lift it in any way. I can "lock" my arm out if I take it slowly and don't lift it up while doing so. Doctor at the urgent care did some tests and said she thought it's a partial or full labrum tear. I was wondering if the event and the effects sound consist with a labrum tear to yall? I've been in a sling for 2 days now and they pain is somewhat lessened as I've been keeping it restricted. Supposed to have an MRI soon, as it is workers comp injury, but not exact idea when it will happen. Does that diagnosis sound accurate or would the pain stay constant and not lessen like it has if it was a tear? Side note, I've dislocated my shoulder years ago in high school sports, but that's been over 10 years ago.

Title. I’m autistic, lifting is a huge part of my life. If you don’t know many autistic people our habits are kinda crucial for our emotional regulation. Also Having my body look as it does is a huge part of my self esteem.
I seem tho to have strained my pec or something in that region, simply from resting on my side with my arm extended above my head. But also I pushed hard at the gym that day. Deadlifts (duck them) and high pulls (which probably did it, I know they’re easy to do wrong) Still reaching and bending down hurts the worst. It’s not severe, as in when I dislocated my shoulder (on the same side no less).
I decided to go to urgent care right away and he referred me to 6 weeks of physical therapy. He said I could still exercise but well, 6 weeks! I was kinda hoping 1 lol or two. I suppose if I’m going to physical therapy that will make me feel better, that I’m actually fixing the problem.
Still, I know this is dumb but it’s a lot for me to cope with!

I caught my thumb petty good on a mandolin slicer tonight. There's no flap or anything to reattach so I don't think they could stitch anything anyway, but I'm wondering if this is something I should take a trip to urgent care for, if there's anything I can do.
It's been about an hour and it's still bleeding a little bit but it's slowed down significantly.

About 3 months ago I started getting really bad burning and inflammation in my esophagus and throat. It continued for around 3 weeks straight and became miserable effecting my quality of life. After an urgent care visit she told me I probably had GERD and started me on PPIs immediately. I also got sent to a specialist that said the exact same thing and to change my entire diet(basically oatmeal, bland carbs, no caffeine, etc…I don’t smoke or drink anyways though so didn’t effect that ). After over a month of PPIs and complete lifestyle change I had zero improvement in symptoms. After dealing with all the side effects of the PPI(bloating, gas) as well as avoiding any good tasting food(and feeling like shit from eating straight carbs all day) I decided to look for a second opinion and to try something new. I got off the PPIs and started getting incorporating regular foods back into my diet. My swelling and inflammation had its ups and downs just like on the PPIs. I then read that sometimes people with bad allergies(definitely me) can get misdiagnosed as GERD and vise versa….the allergens mixed with the post nasal drip can cause havoc on your throat /esophagus and cause it to burn and swell up and become inflamed. It can become chronic and last months sometimes and cause issues/irritation. After being off the PPIs for a few weeks and reading this I quickly purchased some Loratadine and started taking it. Within a day or two my throat/esophagus felt significantly better. Still a little itchy. It’s been a few weeks now and I feel great and back to feeling myself! Every now and then it gets itchy or so but compared to how miserable I was for months it feels great. Anyways keep an open mind and don’t stop trying until you figure out. I was hopeless after weeks/months of suffering but there was reason to have hope.

We took our cat to the vet yesterday for a few odd symptoms (litter box habits changed, vomited a few times this week) and he received an exam, urinary analysis, and blood tests.
We haven’t received any results back yet, but the vet seemed confident he was fine aside from arthritis (the cause of his litter box accidents, we got him a new, larger box right after the appointment and the issue has resolved so far) and maybe early kidney disease. Unfortunately, while I was there I completely forgot about his ear on Monday. When he woke up from a nap he was holding his right ear flat to the side, but this stopped after 5 minutes so I wasn’t too concerned. However, he woke up from another nap today doing the same, although this has continued much longer. I checked inside his ear and saw nothing noticeably wrong. I don’t believe the vet checked his ears yesterday but I could be forgetting.
Is this concerning enough to take him to an Eurgent care, or can I wait until I can call the vet tomorrow morning? He gets very stressed out in cars so I really want to avoid that if necessary. Is this an issue that could maybe be handled via telehealth?

I have been taking 4mg Suboxone strips. I took them for 2 or 3 days and I woke up today with sores( similar to canker sores) that are very painful under my tongue where I put the Suboxone. This isn't the 1st time this has happened. Two months ago in April the same exact thing happened. I am not in a program for Suboxone. So, I can't go to Urgent care and tell then that I think it's from Suboxone strips. In April when this happened I did have a sore throat and I do have a mils sore throat now. The Doctor said it was because of my body fighting off the virus, causing the mouth sores. She prescribed me a mouth wash with lidocaine that the Pharmacy had to make. It helped to soothe and heal the Mouth sores. I do not want to Go back to using Pills. Today, I put the Suboxone on the side of my cheek. I would not been able to put on the sores under my tongue. I'd like to mention in the past, a few years ago..I was taking the tiniest sliver of an 8mg Suboxone 3 times maybe 4 times a day and NEVER had sores in my mouth from it. I don't know what's going on. I know it has to be the Suboxone as i said it the sores appeared after I Started taking the 4mg Suboxone. Has anyone experienced this before? If the sores get worse I'm going to Urgent care and I'm going to have to tell them I have a Bad sore throat. 😔 Any Input would be very much appreciated. THANK YOU!

Hello, I live in Southern California and am employed by a somewhat well known bakery with approximately 18-20 employees. I hurt my ankle while clocked in and on the job site and it is on two separate camera angles and with 3 eye witnesses.
I’ve been working with this bakery for 3 years now and have been told all the same (I was injured 3 separate times) that they do NOT have incident reports/paperwork for me to fill out and that I should write down what happened on a sticky note. I wrote down what happened, the date and time and took a picture and handed it to my boss. So I went to an urgent care (recommended by my job) and did x-rays and found it was a severe sprain and will be out for minimum of 3 weeks. This was on 06/03/2023. When I told my employer, she gave me a call and said she didn’t want to put it into worker’s comp/their insurance since it was about to renew for the year and it was just a sprain and not a broken bone, and said I should be back to work a week, despite what the note said. I’m a week into recovery and went in for a check up and the Dr. informed me I would be out for still another 2 weeks as I still, can’t walk on it.
I called my boss today 06/09/2023 and she said that worker’s comp ONLY covers doctor visits and not lost wages and that I should file for disability to get paid while I’m off. She also said I would have to use my sick hours so I can get a little payment while I’m off. I asked her if I can get that in paperwork and see who I can talk to about that and she said her hands were tied and she cannot help me any further.
My question is, what the heck should I do? I’ve been told by family to seek out a lawyer because everything she has said/done is extremely illegal, but I’m wondering if it’s true? And if it is, what should be my next step? I genuinely cannot afford to not be paid, I’m still paying off my car and I have rent and my other bills I need to take care of.

Hello,
About a month ago 5/2/23, I called in sick to work due to having flu like symptoms. I called in sick the next day as well, then got a positive COVID test at urgent care. I obviously did not go to work the rest of the week, but I was asymptomatic over the weekend. I thought I would be okay to go to work on 5/8/23, but my employer said they want me to stay home until 5/15 and not come in to work at all. They said I would be unpaid entirely, and to check the EDD if they can offer financial assistance.
Background info: I have been with this company in California working around 25 hours a week for at least 13-14 months.
I was just wondering if this was legal, and if they could actually make me stay home without pay for that long. Happy to answer any further questions or post somewhere else if need be.

Maya wakes up out of her vision and snaps forward as her head hurts like someone pounded a sledgehammer on it, and her nose once again started to bleed. Aniya looks back at her sister and sees she is awake and alert.
"Maya! You're okay," Aniya runs to her sister and hugs her.
Bonnie turns her focus from the walkers outside and sees Maya out from who knows what. Bonnie guards the exit in case the walkers comes close, as she looks at Maya, "Aniya keep your voice down we are not exactly out of the woods just yet with the walkers. Glad to you back to the world of the living, Maya."
Maya nods to Bonnie and holds her forehead of the sharp pain still surging through her brain. Aniya then lowers her voice so she doesn't attract the walkers here, "What exactly happened?" Aniya asks.
Maya leans forward and puts her head between her legs to stop the pounding headache, "Had a vision." Maya spoke in a low muffle voice.
"Yeah I know, but what caused you to go down like that? You had visions before and never go down and pass out like what you just did." Aniya puts her arms around her sister's shoulders.
Maya closes her eyes and brings her head up to rest on her knees, as she smears the blood from her nose onto the sleeve of her father's jacket. "I saw a deer."
Bonnie was listening in and turned her head when Maya mentions the word deer. "Deer? We didn't see any deer out there."
Maya eyes her leader, "Because it wasn't a physical one, Bonnie. It was a spirit. A spirit warning me of danger coming." Maya confesses.
Bonnie looks to Maya and doesn't believe, "Maya I think you need to rest, and must have hit your head or something when you collapse."
"I am not crazy and don't need rest and my head is fine. I see things that you can't see." Maya leans back as her head pounded again.
Aniya looks to Bonnie as she shakes her head still not believing Maya. Aniya ignores her and strokes her sister's forearm, "What did you see?"
Maya looks down at her sister and then tells her everything, "Violet, this young woman named Minerva, Louis, a boy I am not familiar with, another boy I've seen once but don't know his name, two other kids, AJ and Clementine on a beach after the boat we seen in the river, and what I am guessing Delta members." Bonnie now suddenly is intrigued and stood at the entrance to the cave as Maya retells her vision. "After when this woman named Minerva throws something I don't know a grenade at Clementine separating Clementine from her group, I look back at the same deer I saw in the forest, and a storm came over the river, flashes of light where I couldn't see, and blood all around in the sand I was standing on, and the sky red. I tried to ask the deer spirit who is going to die, and ask them what they want and who they are when the pain in my forehead started to burn." Maya spoke and hugs her sides.
"Red sky are you sure?" Aniya asks.
Maya nods and closes her eyes and puts her head in her lap again and hugs her knees, and she fits clutches her pant leg. Aniya looks at her sister and squeezes her forearm. "You know when?"
Maya shook her head, not saying anything with her head in her lap holding back tears. Bonnie then comes a little closer to the Lakota sisters, "You saw Clementine in your vision-like thing?"
Maya slowly raises her eyes to look at her leader, "Yes."
"Why was she on the beach, was she responsible for blowing up that boat that Alberto told me about?" Bonnie looks at Maya.
"I don't know I didn't see that far back. My gift is not a wind-up time machine it only gives me visions of what is important for me to know." Maya starting to get angry with Bonnie miss using her gift to serve her interest. "And it is warning me of someone's death on the horizon."
"Whose?" Bonnie asks.
"I don't know whose, but Red sky means death, or many, in my ancestors' teachings. And blood on the sand, from many, is another sign." Maya looks to her leader.
Gargling moans of walkers started to echo through the cave as Bonnie whips around at the entrance and sees at least five entering, "Shit,"
Aniya springs to action and grabs her knife and started to attack a walker. Maya pushes her pain away and takes hold of her father's knife and attacks the walkers to fight for her life. Maya defeats one walker and glances outside as more were filling in from the west. Maya remembers Violet telling her Clementine used walker guts to get past herds. Maya takes her knife and splits open the walker she just killed and covers herself up in walker guts. Aniya looks at her sister after she has slain a walker and asks, "Maya what are you doing?"
"Covering myself in walker guts, you should too if you want to get out of here," Maya said.
"I am not—" Aniya started to protest.
"Aniya, more walkers are filling in from the west and will be here in a matter of minutes. Get your fucking ass over here and put the guts on you!" Maya orders her sister in an urgent tone.
Bonnie slain the last walker and looks outside in the direction where Maya just said and her eyes widen as she is right. Bonnie hisses and grits her teeth, "Fuck," Bonnie takes her knife as well and started to open up the walker she just killed and did the same as Maya is doing. "She's right Aniya."
Maya fully covered in the guts looks at her sister, "Please Aniya, do you trust me?"
Aniya closes her eyes and throws down her knife, "Fine. Make it quick!"
Bonnie looks at the two girls, "I'll cover you two and make sure the walkers don't get too close, hurry Maya."
Maya digs in the dead walker and started to put the guts on her sister. Aniya moans at the smell as she tries to hold back her nausea. Maya manages to cover her sister in the guts and was about to put the dead walker's intestines around her sister when her sister moves away from her sister and vomits behind a rock.
Maya waited until her sister stopped puking and returns to back to her. Maya softly looks at her sister, "Here," she drapes the intestine around her shoulders, and Aniya gasped. "Relax, sis you are fine. Just don't think and you will be fine. Once we get out of these caves and to safety you can take it off you." Maya squeezes her little sister's hand.
"y—yo—you su—re this will work?" Aniya stutters in fear.
"Yes. Covering up in their blood will disguise your scent." Maya assures her.
Bonnie eyes the two teenagers, "Come on we got to go." Maya takes hold of her sister's hands and follows Bonnie out of the caves to someplace safe from the small herd.
.....
Louis follows Violet to her room and he softly knocks on the door. Violet had just plopped on her bed when she heard a knock. She lets go of the necklace Maya made her and goes and opens the door. To her dismay, Louis is at the door, "Louis? What, why are you here?"
Louis looks at her and eyes her suspiciously, "Can I talk to you?"
Violet looks at him and leans up against the door, "Sure, talk away Lou?'
"I mean in your room, privately?" Louis looks down the hallway and then back at Violet.
Violet follows his gaze and then back at him, "No one is around Louis," Violet spoke.
"I know but I feel comfortable talking with you behind closed doors if you don't mind." Louis looks at his best friend.
Violet rolls her eyes and shrugs, "Suit yourself, Lou," Violet moves away from the door and goes to her bed, and sits on it, leaning up against the wall. As Louis closes Violet's door and moves into the interior space. He hasn't set foot in this room since he comforted Violet after learning that Minerva and Sophie were killed by walkers. He still envisions that day of holding Violet in her bed where Violet is sitting now, and hearing her mournful cries until she cried herself to sleep. Louis shakes his head to clear it, and leans up against Violet's dresser and nightstand.
Violet looks at him with her hazel eyes, "Spill Lou? What is so important you need to talk to me behind a closed door?"
Louis took a breath, "Are you secretly sneaking out of Ericson to go meet Maya?"
Violet was caught off guard by that question, and she looked down, not meeting Louis's eyes as she bit her inner cheek. Violet closes her eyes for a moment then looks back at him, "What do you think I am meeting her?"
"Because you have a happy face when coming out of the graveyard, and I know visiting Minerva and Sophie's graves does not make you that happy. Especially after what Minerva did you on that beach." Louis reminded her. "I won't tell Clementine, I swear, I just want to know, so are you?"
Violet sighs and pushes herself off the bed and stands by the bedpost with sunlight shining down on her face. Violet looks up at Louis, "Yes. I've been sneaking out the past several weeks to meet her away from Ericson. And," Violet looks down with a slight glow on her face remembering Maya's sweet face staring back at her, that gets Violet weak in the knees and her heart racing. Violet heaves a sigh and looks at her best friend, "You're not the only Ericson kid around here who is in love. I, I fell in love with Maya."
Violet came out with the truth. She moves to the other side of Louis staring out the window. "I thought I would never find love again after, Minnie. Then fate or destiny happened, collided me with her a few months back. One thing led to another and I let my walls down. Or she came in with a sledgehammer and shattered my walls, as I fell for her. And tell you the truth Louis, I don't think I've ever fallen this hard for someone as I fell for Maya. Not even Minerva hit this deep and you know how crazy I was for her." Violet looks at her friend and brother figure.
Louis gave a little nod, "That I do yes. And I can tell by your face you glow especially when I see you coming in from the graveyard. Also, whatever happened between you and her that day I spot you by Clementine's tree house."
Violet smiles and a slight blush forms on her face remembering her first kiss with Maya, as that kiss felt so magical. She has never been kissed like that in her life. Not even her first kiss with Minerva was that magical and spectacular. When Maya kissed her, she really kissed her. More than just a peck on the lips, it was full-on lip action with some exchanges of tongue contact. Violet shakes her head, and her gaze falls on the hard surface of the dresser, "Please don't tell Clementine, she still has trust issues with her, and I don't blame her. I know she is trying to keep another Raiders situation from happening and I respect that." Violet then raises her gaze to look at Louis's soft brown eyes, "But I know Maya will never ever put me in danger or anyone here. She cares, really cares. And if it wasn't for her sister she has to take care of, I bet she would come and asks Clementine to stay. And we really could use her expertise here in this group. She will be a great asset to Ericson."
Louis looks at his friend and away, "Violet, how can you know? I know you want your girlfriend with you but how do you know she will be a good asset?"
"Well for one she can help Ruby with her medical skills. And you well know, she is an excellent huntress. And..." Violet closes her eyes and breaths out a sigh, as her eyes open to look across the room, "She is good at night watching. She stayed up all night when she and I were stuck up in the tree when the huge horde of walkers came. And she held me all throughout the night as I slept in her lap. She never let me fall." Violet looks at her friend.
Louis was hesitant, "Look Vi, I won't tell Clem of this, but you should tell her yourself what you just told me."
Violet looks away, "She won't listen to me, Louis. I tried that and she won't listen because she has a prejudice against Maya because she happens to be in the same group of people who did her wrong in the past."
Louis looks at his friend, "Can you blame her, Vi? I mean for a while when you first came here, you barely let people get close to you after the fucked up situation yourself what you had to deal with and the same age Clementine was shot at by a shifty person, and then have a group member leave you to die... A lot easier to ask forgiveness than to forget."
Louis looks and sees a new item around Violet's neck as she leans forward on the desk with her head bowed. He knows he is starting to get through, "I know you care for this girl, Vi, hell I wish there was something I could do to get Clementine to see your side and for both you and her to be happy. But I can't change her mind about extending that trust outward. She tried that with Minerva, and look where that went. Clem is still feeling that burn of trust from shifty people, and can't really blame her."
Violet then snaps her head up, "But Maya is not shifty!"
"I know, Violet, I know. From what I have seen when I met her, how she was quick to defend us against Arvo. I can see she has a good heart and knows when one is faulty and has a good sense of judgment. She could have shot me with her arrow if she wanted to, but she didn't." Louis said.
Violet was starting to get angry, "If you know this of her, then why are you standing on the sidelines on this one?"
"I don't like confrontation. You know this." Louis looks at her. "I don't want to fight you on this. That is something you and Clem, need to work on resolving this conflict on your own." Louis steps backward. "But I will be a friend for you if you need it."
Louis sees Violet not meeting his gaze and crossing her arms. Louis then looks at her, "For what it is worth Vi, I think you and Maya are good for one another. You may not see it, but she changed you in some way. In a good way. I haven't seen you light up this way ever. I mean, ever."
Violet looks up at him with a little surprised expression. Then shyly responded, "Thanks." And moves her own hair back behind her ear, like what Maya always does to her when she wants to seriously kiss her. Violet heaves a sigh as she looks up at him, and as he stands in the sunlight. Violet notices something new on his neck. "Lou, ah..what is on your neck?"
Louis looks at her with confusion, "What?"
Violet moves away from the dresser and pulls on Louis's shirt to get a closer look. A teasing smile falls on her face as she bites her lip to keep from laughing, "Oh...hmm...what did you and Clem do last night to let her give you a hickey?"
Louis's eyes were wide, "She did what to me?"
"You have a hickey on your neck Lou, oh...several in fact." Violet peers down Louis's shirt.
"Okay, that's enough. Let me see," Louis batted Violet's arms away and moves towards Violet's desk. Louis stands before a small dusty mirror to see what Violet is looking at. And his face went red as Violet moves to the spare bunk bed by the desk, laughing. Violet giggles a bit more, "What did you do to earn your badges of honor with her Lou?"
Louis tugs his jacket collar closer up on his neck, "nothing." He doesn't want to share his first sexual experience to give Violet any more ammunition for teasing rights.
Violet smirks and raises her eyebrows at him, "Never thought I see the day you out of all people will get to receive a hickey from someone. Especially from Clementine. Marlon sure, and Justin, but you?" Violet points her finger at him.
Louis covers his face now with his jacket, "Well since you are through being pissed...I am going to go fix the traps and walls." Louis hugs his coat closer.
Violet then giggles and teases Louis back from all the crap he pulled with her and Minerva, "Okay, just don't land on Clementine's lips again to create any more of those 'bruises,'" Violet laughs again.
Louis gave her a sneer back, "You are enjoying torturing my soul?"
"Yes after all the shit you done with me in the past on my first romance, yeah. It's payback time, Louis." Violet spoke.
Louis gives her the finger as he exits her room. He has to admit he likes it when Violet teases him back, even though he is embarrassed about it.

Hi all,
First off, many condolences to my fellow sufferers and those who find this story while in pain. I just wanted to share my story thus far and thoughts I've had along the way. I naively consider myself to have some experience with this by this point, so feel free to ask me anything about my experience and I'll try my best to recall more details.
MY PERSONAL TAKEAWAYS: Marsupialization can help but may not be a permanent solution. Epsom salt baths and constant heat seem to encourage bursting more quickly and before ugly gets uglier. It is important to start remedies at the very first signs of development. If you have to go to work, I think doughnut pillows help not place so much pressure on the area. Essential oils did not seem to do anything for me but cause more pain.
1st occurence: 9years ago. I noticed what felt like a potential bruising on the outer labia. Didn't think much of it, thought it would go away, but over a week it quickly developed from a little uncomfortable to acutely painful. I likely had a concurrent yeast infection, so when it started getting painful and I went to urgent care (was on a vacation in another state) and that's what the healthcare worker diagnosed me having. Obviously not. I ended up going to an OB when I got back from vacation who diagnosed me correctly and booked me for marsupialization immediately since he knew they have a high recurrence rate. I was begging to go into surgery because the pain had gotten so bad and since this was my first experience, I didn't know how to manage it.
2nd occurence: 2.5 years ago. Tried baths with tea tree oil, epsom salts, heating pads. Was prescribed antibiotics and some strong dose ibuprofen by the OB. Abscess eventually burst on its own. One important detail was the heating pad. I had that thing between my legs the entire time I was laying down or sitting. Even in sleep, though I know that is definitely recommended against. But, as you all know, we get desperate.
3rd occurence: 1 year ago. By this time experience was under the belt. I called my OB right when I got the bruising sensation. Was prescribed antibiotics and used the heating pad constantly with epsom salt baths when at home outside of work. It burst on its own. I was on my period around this time and using liners, an interesting note.
4th occurence: A month ago, also on a vacation (I don't take many, suppose I'm unlucky). I had the "bruised" feeling before the trip and packed a heating pad and used it about half the day's drive. We got epsom salts the second/third day for baths. The day after the driving day it burst on its own in the afternoon. Never spoke with an OB this time, so no antibiotics. I was on my period around this time also and using liners.
I am a bit nervous about the occurences getting closer together for the future so I'm trying to identify if there are any trends at this point.

It has been a month since my girlfriend (22 F) ended a relationship of 4 and a half years with me (22M). The reason was that he kissed a boy, one of his friends, one day after a fight we had. He is only now acknowledging that he likes her (he doesn't seem to see her as more than a friend), but that she didn't know how to get away from him since acknowledging his feelings seemed like a bad person to her. This for being in a relationship with me. It was because of the guilt and distrust that she felt towards herself, that she felt that she did not deserve to be with me and ended the relationship. She already has very low self-esteem and has been feeling insufficient for a long time. Then we both realized the real reason for the breakup, monotony, lack of emotional communication, exhaustion, personal problems in each other's lives, different priorities, etc. One of the strongest reasons why she doesn't want to return is because she feels that she should leave our relationship to be a better person, to evolve and face all her fears. It is a sincere concern, for as long as I have known her she has had such concerns. Only now she doesn't seem willing to continue her life like this.
Here the point is that she has not stopped loving me, she likes me, she even shows that she desires me sexually. In our meetings without being dating, to talk about the situation (me talking about how I think it would be a good idea to go back because we can do things differently, and her confused feeling that this is not the right thing to do) we have kissed and dated lots of times. That made me think we'd be back, but she seems to try hard not to. I feel like she's fighting her desire to want to be with me, and frankly I don't understand why. We were not a toxic relationship, we had problems but really nothing really serious. We hardly had any discussions, I don't understand why she seems so urgent to escape from me, and at the same time she always fails to do so. At first she feigns disinterest and if I go to kiss her she pulls away from her, but eventually we end up doing it.
The case is more complex, but among the emotions she feels are: guilt, confusion, sadness, annoyance, tiredness, fed up, and well, she wants time for herself. She has said that she loves me, but that she needs time to think about her and what she wants. She has said that she doesn't know what might happen in the future, and that's why she can't promise that we can be together. She also asked me for a while, because seeing us and talking about her made her relapse, as if I were her drug. So I proposed a middle ground and we agreed to make zero contact for two months, while we heal from the emotional wounds of the breakup and at the same time we take care of all the aspects of our life that we neglected. Another important thing is that my ex-partner is obsessed with being a good student, the breakup happened at the end of the semester and she usually gets emotionally and mentally out of control during these times. She puts everything before her studies and she is capable of not eating or sleeping well. So this experience has been hell for both of them.
My question is this, why does she try so hard to get over me and hide her clear feelings for me? I'm not a bad person nor have I really hurt him. Why does she feel that she must leave me to grow as a person? I also want to change, and this breakup is helping me a lot, but I don't think it's necessary to separate us. I don't see compelling reasons, I feel that our problems were due to circumstances rather than our compatibility. If we'd had lots of problems, and she'd begged me to change something, to no avail, she'd understand. But this could be considered our first crisis as a "couple" in 4.5 years. It is true that she has been dissatisfied with the relationship for some time because of what she mentioned, monotony, insecurities and loss of identity. However she feels that she is now giving up too easily, now that we are barely acknowledging our mistakes. Why? Will she realize her mistake? She seems like she loves me but I'm a monster she must overcome, and I'm not really blind to realize that I'm not. I'm sure I've been a good boyfriend, with shortcomings but nothing really serious. Our relationship is always very stable, very reciprocal and very beautiful. I am very puzzled.
TLDR: Why is my ex-girlfriend so determined to move on, when she clearly loves me and there's no real reason to cut me out of her life? When our relationship has always been very good, when now we can learn to improve many of our shortcomings. Why does she see everything so lost? Is maybe her confusion temporary?

My old man Jupiter (~12 y/o) has been on methimazole 5mg 2x/day for hyperthyroidism for over 2 years now after intense weight loss and frequent vomiting. He’s on a vet plan, so he’s gotten regular preventative care at least every 6 months since I adopted him in 2017. We’ve always kept an eye on all lab values, and his kidneys started showing signs of failure this past summer. Since being dx with kidney failure, he’s been on Royal Canin renal diet (both wet and dry, but he’s gotten to much prefer wet food). I took him to the vet this week after noticing more weight loss, sleeping more, and not being very steady when he’s walking or jumping. His levels were through the roof and there are also signs of heart murmur (known, but progressing), liver problems, anemia, UTI, and he went to hypothyroid instead of hyper.
The vet said she was worried about him; but there was hope in pulling him out of crisis and stabilizing him. I really hope I can because Jup means the world to me.
Treatment plan: Daily subQ fluids, as close to 100ml as he tolerates Hills urgent care wet food, as much as I can get him to eat Appetite stimulant, 0.5ml Elura a day Clavamox antibiotic, 1ml 2x/day for 2 weeks Stop methimazole at least until pushed back into hyperthyroidism
Going back to the vet to check his weight next week so we have an idea for any progress he’s making.
Planning on running new labs in about 3 weeks, as I have a big move coming up and I want to keep tabs on him before we go anywhere. The vet told me that if labs aren’t at least a little bit better by then, I need to start thinking of making a decision, which the thought of kills me.
The vet said the Hills urgent care wet food was ideal, but to give him anything and everything he will eat. He’s been a fan of this wet food so far, but any other suggestions would be great to get some meat on his bones. Poor skinny mans :(
If there is anything else I could be doing, I would love to know. I will do just about anything for this cat.
She did suggest a specialist mostly to help with his anemia, but I really can’t afford to take him to a specialized vet right now.
He’s in good spirits, sleeping most of the time which is nothing new for him, drinking lots of water, and showing a little bit more interest in food (so far he’s a big fan of the urgent care wet food). He also is a champ when it comes to taking his meds.
Any advice, ideas, support, anything is super helpful. I’m not ready to say goodbye to my boy, and I don’t believe that he’s ready to either.

My store has gone through three general managers in a year, making it impossible for anyone to take any time off or get any rest. We’re all completely burned out and run down with no team leader in place because our SEL is useless and clueless, and the whole place just sucks to the point that everyone is trying to jump ship.
Towards the end of my two weeks, I became extremely sick and ended up calling out on Wednesday and going to urgent care where I was diagnosed with an URI and an ear infection that spread to my tonsils. Doctors note had me out of work for three days, but released me to go back on the 10th which would have been my final day. I would’ve worked through the illness regardless, except the excruciating pain in my tonsils has prevented me from eating, drinking, or sleeping for the past four days and I’m about ready to just drop dead.
My DGM instead opted to finalize my resignation and backdate it for my last day worked, 6/6, preventing me from being paid the three days of sick time I had put in for and also cutting me my last day of work.
I suppose it’s payback for my (MOL) final day lining up with not only my SEL’s week of PTO he somehow got approved, but also my CAL’s FMLA LOA that I didn’t even know about at the time I resigned (not that I would have changed my plans).

This is a ranking of modern Minecraft updates (1.0 and later) based on how important/useful its features are, how much it changed the game and how fun it was/is to mess around with.
#21 1.10 (Frostburn Update) This update added a useless mob and an at the time basically useless block, who cares?
#20 1.1 This update added spawn eggs and a metric fuck ton of new language options, this isn't an update I'd be salty about since it only took a couple months to come out after 1.0.
#19 1.15 (Buzzy Bees Update) Another update that didn't add much that I wouldn't be salty about, it added a bit of cool somewhat useful stuff and fixed a bunch of bugs half a year in between the two biggest updates ever, I'm alright with this one. Maybe I'd be more into it if I cared much about redstone.
#18 1.12 (World of Colour Update) Concrete is great and parrots are cute but that's about all this update really has to its name, coloured beds and glazed terracotta too if you're into that sort of thing. I'm not.
#17 1.2 Added jungles, related things and miscellaneous stuff, it's a pretty decent update, especially for the pace that Minecraft was being updated at at the time.
#16 1.17 (Caves & Cliffs Part 1) The first part of the Caves & Cliffs update, the part that actually adds things but doesn't really update the caves or cliffs. I would consider this to be a great building and decorating update with plenty of 'aesthetic' blocks and items and cute axolotls to work with, although it doesn't really add much to your actual Minecraft gameplay experience.
#15 1.19 (Wild Update) Honestly pretty over hated, yeah it's a far cry from what they promised, but a nice new biome, original gameplay experience in the form of the deep dark and pretty good new blocks as well as chest boats and other stuff isn't too shabby in my opinion, although it definitely wasn't worth being the one Minecraft update for a year and a half.
#14 1.5 (Redstone Update) This is a controversial one, I know. Actually if we were just going off of what I personally use this would be even lower because I'm not much of a redstone person, but I do respect how important this update is for the community and its features are integral to the game.
#13 1.6 (Horse Update) Blah blah blah too high I don't care. Fuck horses, I just really like stained clay, leads, name tags, carpets and hay bales.
#12 1.11 (Exploration Update) This update doesn't have a lot, but what's here is great. Woodland mansions, Shulker Boxes, Totems of Undying. Need I say more?
#11 1.3 Just because this is a smallish update, doesn't mean it's not a really good one. Every feature here slaps. Villager trading, desert temples and jungle temples as well as book and quills, bonus chests and adventure mode. Hell yes.
#10 1.20 (Tales & Trails Update) The cherry grove is maybe my favourite Minecraft biome now, super beautiful, all of its blocks are super beautiful too, I adore all of the new bamboo blocks as well, I've been waiting for hanging signs forever and pottery is finally out after being delayed like 3 updates. This is probably gonna be controversial to be this high but whatever.
#9 1.9 (Combat Update) I don't play Java or care about your combat, calm down. This update expanded on the End drastically and made it a fun place to explore with structures and lots of loot to find including the fucking Elytra.
#8 1.8 (Bountiful Update) This update is pretty random but everything here is pretty cool, I don't have too many thoughts on it but yeah it's great.
#7 1.7 (Update that Changed the World) Great new biomes like the mesas, savannas and roofed forests, makes the world more fun to explore, adds new wood types and lots of new blocks and shit like stained class and blue ice. This update did in fact change the (Minecraft) world :)
#6 1.18 (Caves & Cliffs Part 2) This update may not really add anything, but that new world generation is so amazing it makes up for it in spades. The new mountain types are gorgeous and great places to set up a base and the new cave types are beautiful too and so fun to explore.
#5 1.13 (Update Aquatic) If I'm being honest, I do think this update is a tad 'overrated.' Nothing in it is THAT great. That being said, this shit added so many features it doesn't even matter. This update completely revitalized oceans, making them actually fun and rewarding to explore and that's something that takes a whole lot of effort to pull off considering how boring they were before so hats off to Mojang for this one.
#4 1.4 (Pretty Scary Update) This update doesn't add that much, but almost every feature is very important and Minecraft wouldn't feel the same AT ALL without these features. Beacons, carrots, potatoes, pumpkin pies, anvils, the wither, witches and more. Maybe I'm overrating this, I don't care though this update is amazing.
#3 1.0 The update that made this game complete by adding of course the End, as well as enchanting, potions and other important and fun shit.
#2 1.14 This update is SUCH a close second. It's one of very few modern updates to change basically every Minecraft day for me with all of its useful regular use features and great decorations like scaffolding, campfires, blast furnaces, smokers, lanterns, new villages, raids and an absolutely absurd amount of other cool stuff, this update was incredible.
#1 1.16 If 1.14 was the most iterative update (in the good way), 1.16 was the most innovative update. You can live in the nether now, featuring several new biomes with a bunch of new blocks, new mobs, a new structure, bartering mechanic, being able to set your spawn there with the respawn anchor, netherite and lots of other nether features and a few non-nether features. This update really does open up so many possibilities and new experiences and is the best in Minecraft history, IMO.
