2023.06.08 19:37 Away_Rise_2692 I have a couple big surf fishing rods. Would they be good for big freshwater fish like pike/Muskie/carp?
I normally bass fish, so all of my rods are 6’-7’ medium light, medium or medium heavy setups. I’m going to start going for some big freshwater fish such as carp, northern pike, Muskie, lake trout, etc.
I have a sea striker pole, it’s a pole specifically for fishing from ocean beaches, not sure what the difference is though I just bought it while on vacation. It’s a pretty thick, 8’ pole and the other one is 10’ but they don’t have actions on them or anything. Would these be good poles to use for freshwater fishing? I’d probably be trolling with them

2023.06.08 19:36 notarussianbotsky Which is better: Collecting games, or playing games? How about a game about collecting games!
I know many people here are big collectors. And I know that many collectors love an excuse to list their collections
Here's a game about games! (remove if not allowed)
How to play: Sort your collection based on first letter. You score points based on how many games you have that start with each letter.'
Points are awards as follows:
1 game = 5pt
2-4 games = 6pt
5-9 games = 7pts
10+ games = 10 pts
0 games = -3pts
Expansions are NOT included in scoring
For games that begin with numbers, special characters, or non-latin characters, score points based on close approximated transliterations. Example: <7 Wonders Duel> would be scored with the S's (Seven Wonders Duel) and <Экивоки> would be scored with the E's (Ekivoki)

2023.06.08 19:36 ThrowRAIdkWat29393 [M27] Am I right to leave this three week trip early with my friend [F28]
We planned out a trip to the midwest to do hiking, camping, etc. We're from the east coast so we drove because she wanted to bring her dog. We drove my car and I'm letting her use it to go into the city to go into the office (apparently she needs to cuz of badge reports). We've been here about a week but I'm already kind of sick of her and I don't really want to talk to her anymore after we get back.
She is always hyper-critical of things anyone does and she always has to be right. I think she is super picky about food, she only wants to eat at places that are 4.5+ stars on yelp, local only, no chains and non american food (We're both american). I don't like to eat a ton of exotic foods but she does so I've been going to her restaurants without complaining and this past weekend, we were at a korean place but I couldn't find anything on the menu I wanted so I just got rice and noodles which wasn't good enough for her. On the way back in the car she was telling me how I never eat anything and I don't want to try things, etc. She asked if I wanted her opinion but it might be mean, I was kind of fed up with her at this point so I told her "No, I don't want your opinion, it's always rude and mean, I can eat whatever I want" She was silent the rest of the drive and didn't say a word at the airbnb. It's been like that since Saturday, when we drive somewhere she'll just read her kindle and not talk at all, even on like 30-40 minute drives which is just uncomfortable.
She did blow up on me at one point and threw back in my face about how she doesn't want my opinion, etc while we were on the way to go to a food hall and when we got there she was just like don't hang out with me, meet me when you're done. Other than that everything has been quick short responses to my any attempts to make conversation and she's very aggressive/angry with her tone/actions. She claims she never asked if "Do you want my opinion" but I'm like 95% sure she did. Anyways, the entire week has been so uncomfortable and toxic and we still have another 9 days left on our trip.
I don't want to put up with this kind of attitude, and I told her I might just leave early if this continues (told her this a few days ago). We're a 20-25 hour drive from our home city, I'm highly considering just leaving this weekend and going home, I told her that we should just call the trip early but she is refusing to leave because "we paid for the airbnb for another week or so". So I told her well maybe I'll just leave and she can get a rental car if she wants to stay and drive back later. Obviously she's like if you leave, our friendship is over but I don't know if I care enough to keep this going. I've realized we're just incompatible, even though we've been friends for like two years now and we've done a different 10 day trip before. I'm aware our friendship will be over, and people in my friend group may think badly of me for leaving.
How big of a dick am I if I just leave and go home, and she stays (her choice). Shes like "you can't just abandon me here across the country, i'm a woman, etc" but I mean we're adults, she can make her own decisions. She is refusing to communicate with me, like am I supposed to just spend the next 10 days and waste my PTO with someone who doesn't want to speak with me just because she refuses to end the trip early?

2023.06.08 19:35 DidiHelpMePliss Dear Men, If Fixing Your Profile Hasn't Helped, Read This.
OK, time to sit up straight because I am going to spill some tough love on the men in the community.
This is regarding online dating. This is supposed to serve as a compass for you to navigate yourself correctly through the journey.
This piece is based on three things:
- My own experience with online dating.
- Insights uncovered while helping three cis-gendered, male friends with their dating-app profiles to understand the 'why'(s) and 'how'(s) of Communication and Perception in dating.
- Over a decade of being a Communication and Strategy professional in the corporate sector.
(However, if you use dating apps for one-night stands and casual relationships, you can stop here. This post may end up wasting your time.)
1) First of all — treat yourself like a 'product' and position yourself accordingly in the market.
Take time to:
- Understand your SWOT.
- Understand your competitor (it is not who you think it is).
- Understand your consumer.
I will elaborate on each one of these later.
2) Understand your SWOT:
SWOT stands for Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, and Threat.
Map it out for yourself, and then...
Work on actually having a personality.
What does not count as 'Personality'?
Going to the gym is not your whole personality.
Your bike/car, or your love for them cannot be your whole personality.
Your height, colour of your eyes etc are not your personality.
BladerunneRPG is not your whole personality.
F.R.I.E.N.D.S. cannot be your whole personality.
And your job, definitely, is not your whole personality.
Therefore, when you put 3 out of 5 pictures from your gym, it puts you in a very crowded room that is jam-packed with other gym-goers, lumping your whole personality as a 'Gym Bro'.
When you lack personality, then it is not that you aren't 6'3" tall and hence women aren't choosing you. Learn to see things for what they are.
Ok, but what is Personality then?
Personality is a combination of goals, fears, aspirations, dreams, hopes, likes, dislikes, beliefs etc — attributes that make you 'you'.
Capitalize on each one of these.
Learn to leverage even your weakness by leaning into it.
For example, if you are a guy who is not a fan of English language, and can't for the life of you understand why people don't speak in Hindi, then why are you writing your profile in English, and slogging your posterior off to attract a Starbucks-sipping chica who may not value what you bring to the table?
Instead, channel your inner Harishankar Parsai and write your profile in Hindi.
When you do that, you will have automatically sifted out anyone who is judgmental about your preferred language, and in fact, you may end up attracting someone who will help you paint the town red over this shared interest!
So, keeping everything aside, understand who you are. The better you understand yourself, the easier the dynamics are going to be.
3) Learn. To. Write. Sentences.
Complete sentences. With commas, em dashes, and colons.
Do not put five pictures on your profile with one or two words answers to prompts. Learn to put together coherent thoughts.
It shows your ability to express yourself.
Also, expressing yourself is cool.
Stoicism is fine but Zeno of Citium and Marcus Aurelius did not have to spend their life getting left-swiped in the era that is striving to ensure gender equality. Nor were they fighting battles in a hyper-individualistic world.
They had armies to keep them together. Remember this.
4) Re-evaluate your brand-messaging. (Understand your consumer)
Do all/most of your pictures have you posing next to a Merc/BMW etc, and then you cry about attracting gold-diggers?
If you are not looking to attract gold-diggers, tell us what do you bring to the table? Do you have skills required for 'adulting' like keeping a house, planning a meal and ordering for grocery? Do you know basic cooking? If your mom (or someone else) does it all for you, pause dating for a while and contribute to unpaid efforts that go in keeping you alive.
What does it do, you ask?
It softens rough edges of your personality, develops emotional maturity and an ability to estimate and take on the impact of silent mental load. It gives you something real to talk about. It gives the other person something relatable to benchmark you against.
Relationships are much more than booking OYO for a few hours.
(There is a reason your cool collection of Legos cannot be a part of this 'what you bring to the table' exercise. I will explain it later.) Assess if you actually have a personality or are you a humanoid who can code (or whatever else it is that you do), and otherwise bring very little to the table.
5) Speaking of Gold Diggers...
Some of you men disintegrate and combust into flames the minute a girl tells you that she is looking for someone who is better off financially (or has a benchmark that requires money).
Why?
Do you not switch your job for better prospects?
Do you not look for someone way hotteprettie smarter than you are?
How are women not allowed to have a richer partner? Please explain.
(I am not asking whether she is a student, banking on dad's money, or hustling at work herself in this case. It does not matter. If you have a wishlist, she too has one. Can you match up? No? Move on then. What is the logic behind becoming bitter about it?)
6) To attract the right mate, you need to become the right mate.
For some weird reason, one of the friends I was helping said something that meant something like he will straighten up for the right girl.
Bro, what.
This is not how it works. It, in fact, works the other way round.
You focus on becoming the right person and that takes you one step closer to finding 'the one'. If you are a mess when the right one comes along, they are likely to walk right past you.
You dress up and then go to the bus-stop, wait for the right bus, and board it when it reaches the bus-stop you are at. You don't show up at the bus stop nude and start dressing up the minute your bus pulls up.
7) "bUt dOn't wOMEn waNt eQuality?"
They do.
Plus, nobody is trying to rip you off of the four pennies you have saved after 5 years of grind and hustle. Last of all women who have worked their *ss off and fought centuries of patriarchy to get a seat at the table.
Women like to pay for their meals happily, at least the ones I know. However, there will be some who will expect you to foot the bill. It is possible that she is looking for a mate who can afford to take her out for dates totally on his own. She is well within her rights to have this expectation. And you are well within yours to refuse to meet it.
If such is the case, do not let this make you salty and call her a 'gold-digger'.
It is indicative of a poverty-mindset towards money. Instead, use it as marker to understand your relationship with money.
But that aside, if you cannot afford to take both of you out for a coffee/desserts date, take a break from dating and work on your financial health first, because it will keep you stressed and while you cry about having to pay for coffee, another dude would sweep her off her feet because...
...most women may not be looking for you to have 10 billion dollars in your bank account, but in case you both intend on getting married and having a family together, they have a right to assess if you can afford the fact that she can take some time off her work and look after herself (after the delivery) and the baby without your family getting driven to poverty. I understand Maternity leaves and all, but women's brains are prepared to deal with the worst, and they factor in everything and more, even if subconsciously. It contributes to them feeling 'safe' regarding the future. (Not all women, but many. And this is no sin.)
(I am talking about an average scenario. If you are a person whose dynamics worked out in a circumstance different from this, good for you. I have approximated this basis what my guy friends came across in the dating pool. This depends on the privileges, level of education, upbringing, mindset etc, and sometimes varies from person to person within the same family.)
8) Speaking of Equality...
... I hope your house-keeping, care-taking, and cooking skills are in alignment with the kind of contribution you are expecting from your partner in terms of finances.
Equality is not a one-way street. And no, I 'let her' drink is not Equality.
9) If you are looking for a one-night-stand, state it upfront, the first thing. For some weird reason, the max amount of respect is garnered by guys who mention this right in the beginning. Or, better still, mention it on your profile itself, saves everyone the hassle.
10) Emotional Intelligence
There will be m-a-n-y things, in life and on the internet, that you may not like. If at all, this is where you need to practice Stoicism.
Don't believe that there should be more genders than two? Cool, keep scrolling.
Don't understand what is this 'they/them' business in pronouns of individuals? No problem. Put forth your point in a civilized manner and move on. You don't have to dunk on people.
See a 43-year-old unmarried woman asking for advice regarding her love-life? Do you have something constructive to contribute? No? Keep scrolling.
Some lady wore sleeveless to the office? Unless you have something positive to say, keep your opinion to yourself.
See a 63 YO 'aunty' on a dating app? Are you interested? No? Keep Swiping.
Understand that the world does not need your permission exist. (Yes! I know! I am equally baffled!)
Your inherent need to straighten the World does two horrible things to you:
There is no magic wand to becoming an emotionally intelligent person. In the era of tech and ChatGPTs, your EQ is what will make you stand out. Period.
11) Self-worth.
Pause, and understand your worth, (or the lack of it). Don't just randomly hope to be swiped right by anyone. If you are marred by low self-worth, it reflects in every aspect of your life, including how you talk. Take a break from dating and work on your self-worth.
Building self-worth is an inside job.
There is a friend I have who is a Coder by the day and a Baker by the night. Once or twice every month, he invites us over for an evening of chilling around where we also get to sample the latest recipes of cake, quiches, pizzas, and breads he has tried.
The dude is 35YO, the most zen person I know, has never had to be on dating apps because his hobby has everyone chasing him for recipes, 'let's bake together?' (s), ingredients etc. Not a one-night-stand sort of guy, so the street-cred works in his favor. When he dates, he sticks to a lady until things don't work out for whatever genuine reason there is. Once he and the lady part ways, both of them never bad-mouth each other.
Take from that what you will.
Working on your self-worth is stacking up of favorable actions, one after the other. There is no abra-ca-dabra to this.
Also,
12) Understand how Reticular Activating System works regarding attracting the right mate.
Reticular Activating System is explained the best here.
And how to hack it is explained here.
From Marketing and Communication stand-point, no brand spends h-o-u-r-s ridiculing and hating on the prospective consumer. Instead, they spare no efforts in getting to know their consumer and then tailoring their offerings to ensure that the consumer sticks around.
This is what I mean when I say know your Comsumer.
(Anyway, what is the point of hating on women throughout the day, and then crying here in the group at night asking for feedback on your dating profile to woo, drumrolls, those same women?)
When it comes to women, your competition is not another man. It is her peace of mind. This is what I mean when I say 'know your Competitor'.
13) What makes dating difficult?
Not the process.
It is you hoping that it was easier.
But this is one aspect that demands ruthless growth. Just embrace the pain and hardships of getting left-swiped on and use it to upgrade your mindset and mentality. But all the while, be kind to yourself and know that you are doing your best.
14) One last thing...
Analyze if any part of your childhood/teenage was chaotic or traumatic. What we experience in our childhood, if left untreated, goes on to become our 'normal' in adulthood.
So, if you grew up in chaos, peace would seem boring to you. You will constantly look for 'spark' instead of comfort and end up attracting damaged goods.
If your childhood was not peaceful, it may be worthwhile to consider therapy. Therapy is good, it brings out the gunk of the soul that you did not know you were carrying around, all the while stinking because of it.
If you are interested in understanding this better, read Letting Go and Attached.
The thing is, you attract your tribe.
If you are attracted to someone, something in them must have resonated with you. Surprisingly, many times, it is the toxity that binds two people together.
And toxity in oneself is the most difficult to accept.
To stop attracting damaged goods, you will have to heal yourself.
You will be surprised what a therapist can do. You may have to look around for a while before you chance upon a good one though. Twitter has two crowd-sourced list, in case you need: List 1, List 2.
Notice how I haven't touched upon topics like what you should write in your bio/profile or what you should message her because these things are a direct manifestation of who you are. They can be 'manufactured' but only to some extent. The mind games last only for so long. After that, you will have to work on yourself.
I hope this makes sense to some extent and someone. Take time to read this. I don't expect anyone of you to get all of it in one go.
If you disagree, happy to hear your point of view.
Thank you for reading!
Have a lovely dating journey.

This depends on the privileges, level of education, upbringing, mindset etc, and sometimes varies from person to person within the same family.)
8) Speaking of Equality...
... I hope your house-keeping, care-taking, and cooking skills are in alignment with the kind of contribution you are expecting from your partner in terms of finances.
Equality is not a one-way street. And no, I 'let her' drink is not Equality.
9) If you are looking for a one-night-stand, state it upfront, the first thing. For some weird reason, the max amount of respect is garnered by guys who mention this right in the beginning. Or, better still, mention it on your profile itself, saves everyone the hassle.
10) Emotional Intelligence
There will be m-a-n-y things, in life and on the internet, that you may not like. If at all, this is where you need to practice Stoicism.
Don't believe that there should be more genders than two? Cool, keep scrolling.
Don't understand what is this 'they/them' business in pronouns of individuals? No problem. Put forth your point in a civilized manner and move on. You don't have to dunk on people.
See a 43-year-old unmarried woman asking for advice regarding her love-life? Do you have something constructive to contribute? No? Keep scrolling.
Some lady wore sleeveless to the office? Unless you have something positive to say, keep your opinion to yourself.
See a 63 YO 'aunty' on a dating app? Are you interested? No? Keep Swiping.
Understand that the world does not need your permission exist. (Yes! I know! I am equally baffled!)
Your inherent need to straighten the World does two horrible things to you:
- You end up focusing on things that should be none of your business, thereby adding no value to your own life. At worst, you become an outdated version of your parents (who, by the way, might have still been relevant in their times) in a world that needs you to be hyper-agile in your mindset (and regarding your ability to change your opinion and understand the other person's perspective). But I understand that this may be quite a tall order for the majority of the people.
- Every time you hyper-fixate on fixing things outside of you, you lose the opportunity that could have either given you a better understanding of something you don't have the first-hand understanding of, or helped you focus on yourself.
There is no magic wand to becoming an emotionally intelligent person. In the era of tech and ChatGPTs, your EQ is what will make you stand out. Period.
11) Self-worth.
Pause, and understand your worth, (or the lack of it). Don't just randomly hope to be swiped right by anyone. If you are marred by low self-worth, it reflects in every aspect of your life, including how you talk. Take a break from dating and work on your self-worth.
Building self-worth is an inside job.
There is a friend I have who is a Coder by the day and a Baker by the night. Once or twice every month, he invites us over for an evening of chilling around where we also get to sample the latest recipes of cake, quiches, pizzas, and breads he has tried.
The dude is 35YO, the most zen person I know, has never had to be on dating apps because his hobby has everyone chasing him for recipes, 'let's bake together?' (s), ingredients etc. Not a one-night-stand sort of guy, so the street-cred works in his favor. When he dates, he sticks to a lady until things don't work out for whatever genuine reason there is. Once he and the lady part ways, both of them never bad-mouth each other.
Take from that what you will.
Working on your self-worth is stacking up of favorable actions, one after the other. There is no abra-ca-dabra to this.
Also,
- Refrain from becoming someone because of whom women have to close their DMs. Over time, you will lose respect for yourself, and that happens very silently.
- There is a difference between speaking the truth and being harsh. Your ability to learn the difference and the art will single-handedly be responsible for success in your profession as well as your personal life.
- For some weird reason, a 25 YO man from a Western country is far more emotionally evolved as compared to an Indian man. That is one part of it. The other part of it is that most Indian men are so surrounded by their own type, that they r-e-a-l-l-y will have to break a lot of cycles to even fathom what is expected of them. To break this cycle, educate yourself ruthlessly. Accounts like this may help you break the mould to some extent, but you will still need to break the cycle with respect to your surroundings. Hangout with men who see women in positive light.
- The women you are trying to woo, have their standards constantly reset by content from all over the world. You have to understand what you are up against.
12) Understand how Reticular Activating System works regarding attracting the right mate.
Reticular Activating System is explained the best here.
And how to hack it is explained here.
From Marketing and Communication stand-point, no brand spends h-o-u-r-s ridiculing and hating on the prospective consumer. Instead, they spare no efforts in getting to know their consumer and then tailoring their offerings to ensure that the consumer sticks around.
This is what I mean when I say know your Comsumer.
(Anyway, what is the point of hating on women throughout the day, and then crying here in the group at night asking for feedback on your dating profile to woo, drumrolls, those same women?)
When it comes to women, your competition is not another man. It is her peace of mind. This is what I mean when I say 'know your Competitor'.
13) What makes dating difficult?
Not the process.
It is you hoping that it was easier.
But this is one aspect that demands ruthless growth. Just embrace the pain and hardships of getting left-swiped on and use it to upgrade your mindset and mentality. But all the while, be kind to yourself and know that you are doing your best.
14) One last thing...
Analyze if any part of your childhood/teenage was chaotic or traumatic. What we experience in our childhood, if left untreated, goes on to become our 'normal' in adulthood.
So, if you grew up in chaos, peace would seem boring to you. You will constantly look for 'spark' instead of comfort and end up attracting damaged goods.
If your childhood was not peaceful, it may be worthwhile to consider therapy. Therapy is good, it brings out the gunk of the soul that you did not know you were carrying around, all the while stinking because of it.
If you are interested in understanding this better, read Letting Go and Attached.
The thing is, you attract your tribe.
If you are attracted to someone, something in them must have resonated with you. Surprisingly, many times, it is the toxity that binds two people together.
And toxity in oneself is the most difficult to accept.
To stop attracting damaged goods, you will have to heal yourself.
You will be surprised what a therapist can do. You may have to look around for a while before you chance upon a good one though. Twitter has two crowd-sourced list, in case you need: List 1, List 2.
Notice how I haven't touched upon topics like what you should write in your bio/profile or what you should message her because these things are a direct manifestation of who you are. They can be 'manufactured' but only to some extent. The mind games last only for so long. After that, you will have to work on yourself.
I hope this makes sense to some extent and someone. Take time to read this. I don't expect anyone of you to get all of it in one go.
If you disagree, happy to hear your point of view.
Thank you for reading!
Have a lovely dating journey.

2023.06.08 19:34 Chillywhale21 Why is my youth intake really bad every year despite having 20 youth recruitment? This is my preview and it's all D's. Last year was my best year and I had one midfielder that was C rated. He's still never going to be good enough to play in my first team regularly.

2023.06.08 19:34 lukaron Some Book Recommendations
Hello all - not sure if this would be acceptable or not - but I'm doing a Goodreads challenge of 100 books this year and I'm on book 29 now. As part of this - I've been on a tear reading books about the Trump presidency and what was going on behind the scenes from major political reporters, Whitehouse staff, etc. Below are some of the recommendations if anyone wants to see just how really fucked up things were beyond what you find in the news and online:
American Resistance: The Inside Story of How the Deep State Saved the Nation - Great read on some of the actions taken by regular federal employees during the administration to run counter to some of the insane stuff Trump was up to, especially his flagrant disregard of established laws, policies, and procedures within the federal government. This book honestly should have been like 200-300 pages longer in my opinion – fairly quick read but very insightful to see just how the “normal” government employees were doing what they could to deal with Trump’s idiocy.
Fear: Trump in the White House, Rage, and Peril – Authored by veteran reporter Bob Woodward, this trilogy of books covers the Trump presidency from beginning into the first little bit of Biden’s presidency. He pulls information from a ton of sources – many who remain anonymous to protect their identities/jobs from across all parts of the Trump presidency to open a lens into Trump’s decision-making and behavior when he’s not putting on a show for the cameras. Worth the time it takes to read these – I had never personally heard of Woodward or his work until I got off down the “Trump” rabbithole and I also have his three books on Bush on the way to the house right now.
Frankly, We Did Win This Election: The Inside Story of How Trump Lost – From the senior white house reporter for the Wall Street Journal, this book goes into detail about Trump’s loss of the 2020 election and the elements that helped foment what eventually led to January 6th. Great read in conjunction with pulling out the January 6th report listed below.
The Big Lie: Election Chaos, Political Opportunism, and the State of American Politics After 2020 – This book – from the White House Bureau Chief of Politico – covers the “big lie” – or rather – Trump’s claims that the elections were “rigged.” In fact, he goes into detail to show that this effort to cast doubt on the election actually started before he ever won the 2016 election. Another good read to go in conjunction with the Jan 6 report.
The January 6th Report: Select Committe to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol – The New Yorker’s edition of the Jan 6th report. It looks like it’s a massive fucking tome, but the narrative portions are actually probably close to approximately “halfish” of the pages – the rest are long lists of references and notes between each major narrative section. I appreciated the way the Jan 6 report was authored by the committee because it read more like a true narrative rather than the Mueller Report, which was basically just a straight-up investigative report and probably not as easy a read for the general public as this is. This should be required reading for everyone interested in keeping this dude out of office, as well as getting insight into all of the facts behind what occurred from multiple angles – which conclusively proved that Trump was directly responsible not only for the insurrection, but had run several attempts to directly influence and overturn the 2020 election through fake electors, fake electoral slates, and a pressure campaign across the board.
This all culminated from reading a battery of books on QAnon, The Proud Boys, The Oath Keepers, and Chief Sund’s book on the attack on the Capitol, which is an honorable mention – in fact, I have the other officer’s book here as well, but it’s a few rungs down on the reading list until I get through the remaining books on Trump I have.
Those remaining major books are:
A Very Stable Genius: Donald J. Trump's Testing of America - About 3/4 of the way through this one - great read so far.
The Divider: Trump in the White House, 2017-2021
I Alone Can Fix It: Donald J. Trump's Catastrophic Final Year
Front Row at the Trump Show
Betrayal: The Final Act of the Trump Show
Donald Trump v. The United States: Inside the Struggle to Stop a President
Unthinkable: Trauma, Truth, and the Trials of American Democracy
Breaking History: A White House Memoir
Of the many, many negative impacts of social media and being in an “always-connected” world is that we have started to collectively move away from taking the time to disconnect and actually read and research topics. One of the axioms I’ve always stuck to is that knowledge is power – and – you should always find out as much information as you can about “the enemy.” It’s one thing to hate Trump because of what you see in the news or his policies or the stupid shit he says online – it’s another to hate him because of the research and realize just how dangerous this person is and exactly why it’s imperative that he never be allowed to be in any kind of position of power ever again.
I have a library here of some several hundred books and am currently finishing up my second undergrad – this one in history (just joined Phi Alpha Theta) and am also working on my Masters through Virginia Tech. As I’ve gotten older, I have stopped engaging in “serious” arguments with people – especially online – because 9 times out of 10, it’s readily apparent within a few moments that they are either uneducated on a topic or ignorant of the facts. I hope that some of you find use in this book list. Trust me – it’s well worth the time to read through at least some of these to get a clearer picture of what was happening in the White House from 2017-2021.
Cheers.

2023.06.08 19:32 banooch Costco Tires- NEVER AGAIN!
Bought 4 new tires last year. Ran over a screw on the highway yesterday. Ok, bring it in to Costco. Unfortunately, I’ve reached the WORST customer service in the world. And this is why you go to a local tire shop or America’s Tire- because it will happen eventually.
Let’s start off with the fact that many of todays cars do not come with a spare tire- like my Tesla for instance. When you pop a tire or get a nail or whatever, you have limited options. In this case, I was able to get to Costco, but air was leaking fast. It took me 20 minutes in line to get to a guy saying he couldn’t do anything for me today. Ok, when can you do something for me? His response was to come back and wait an hour outside before opening. The tire is not repairable, and even if it was, they can’t take care of it today.
Ok, at least let’s make sure the tire I need is in. Yes, it’s in and you’ll have to pay $110 for one tire even though it’s under warranty. Come in tomorrow early and we will replace it.
Next day: there at 8am and 4th in line out of 20 people. Get to the front of line at 9:10 and he says since you are 4th, we may get to you in an hour or it may take all day. Seriously? Some of have to work. What kind of service is this? They didn’t even warn me of that.
Costco: if you have 3 bays and 20 people waiting in line each day for a popped tire, then just take appointments on 2 bays and have the other bay for emergencies!! Ridiculous. I’ve learned my lesson and will never buy tires from here again.

2023.06.08 19:31 EquivalentChair7143 M/27 F/27 scared of pregnancy from protected sex and he Didn't cum inside of me.
I am very much tensed about pregnancy. I am literally paranoid can not sleep. Had sex with partner on 4and 5 th day of period. But i have a very irregular cycle. So can not predict ovulation. On day 7,8,9 i saw egg white discharge so i dont know was i ovulating or not as yesterday and the day before yesterday i also saw lots of ewcm. But we used condom not only condom he Didn't cum into the condom and didn cum inside of me. He pulled out the condom before ejaculation. But i am tensed may b some precum has leaked from the base of the condom. Though the condom Didn't slip neither it broke. But i am tensed as the condom was bit short for the penis. So it Didn't fully cover the penis, there was some gap in the shaft. It was may b an inch above the base but it was so tight that he was feeling pain. But the condom was very tight and when he pulled out it was in the same position. He didn’t even ejaculate. Actually i am having severe pelvic pain that's why i am very much tensed.Chances of pregnancyI? I am mainly concerned as i live in a small house, i can not test even. I am taking severe stress may b that's why i am feeling bloated. My last period was on 10 th of may.We did on 13,14 th may with condom and pull out. He never came inside of me. But i am paranoid that may b i m pregnant feeling some symptoms as well. Please help me. I am having nausea and feeling tired. Though i havr just recovered from chicken pox 2 days ago.

2023.06.08 19:30 so_very_trans Pain in response to stress
It’s not new for my chronic pain to worsen when I’m under stress. However, this doesn’t make it any easier to cope with this time.
My pain is generally radiating from my sacrum. PT’s in the past have said I need to work on my core strength to lessen this. But…working out when I’m a 7-9/10 on a pain scale feels practically impossible. I use NSAIDS as sparingly as possible, but often I can’t go without them. I do take breaks as to not damage my stomach. I self medicate with CBD. I use a TENS unit, but it can’t help my lower back pain much.
My pain is interfering with my social life, work life and overall happiness. It’s adding more stress to me when I’m already overwhelmed.
Dr’s have said there’s nothing “actually” wrong with my bones, PT says it’s likely a muscular issue. Experts online say the centralized sacrum pain is common in folks who feel out of place socially. Dr’s have offered to refer me to get lidocaine injections or dry needling, but I’ve heard dry needling hurts like HELL. Does anyone have experience with anything like this? What’s helpful?

2023.06.08 19:30 4raises3 Timo dilemma
apparently this is an unpopular opinion based on comments i've gotten, but i wouldn't sign Timo long-term unless it's a very team-friendly deal. hear me out:
first, i don't see timo signing long-term for less than $8.5 mil AAV, and i don't blame him. evolving hockey's current projection is around 8x$8.8 AAV. he's in line for a $10 million QO this year, and then he can hit free agency with a higher salary cap next year and get the UFA premium. he'd probably get $9+ mil AAV in free agency unless it's an absolute trainwreck of a season for him this year.
don't get me wrong, signing Timo for 8x$8-8.5 this offseason would be fine because he will produce...but let's think bigger picture.
the cap this year is $83.5 million. if we sign both bratt and timo long-term this offseason, we will have ~$47 mil tied up on just 6 players the next 4 years (bratt, timo, jack, nico, dougie, palat). During those 4 years, luke, nemec, mercer, and [goalie] will need sizeable contracts. all of our bottom-6 and bottom pairing will also need contracts.
is that doable? maybe...but only with cap gymnastics, and we wouldn't be a real player in free agency. then, once those 4 years are up, we will need to extend nico and jack...those contracts will NOT be as friendly as they are now.
it's inevitable that we would have good players/prospects become cap casualties. meanwhile, timo palat and dougie will be carrying high cap hits into their 30s.
alternatively, we give Timo his 1 year $10 million QO this year and try to make a run. next offseason, another team will sign him to a mega deal taking him from ages 28-36. it would be a big hit losing timo, but imo it would make the team better off in the long run

2023.06.08 19:29 Lord_of_Brass Psychic Damage Output
I previously had complained about the generally low Psychic damage of Ahriman and Aspiring Sorcerers, and the response was almost universally "They're reducing Psychic damage across the board."
Well, the Tyranids laugh in the face of that justification.
Let's compare, and let's be generous and assume that Ahriman is leading a unit of Rubrics so he benefits both from his own Rubric Lord (+1 to Wound) and the Rubrics' Bringers of Change (re-roll Wound rolls of 1 on ranged attacks). We'll also be attacking MEQs, since the math is easy that way (T4, 3+ save, no invuln).
Ahriman's Psychic Stalk in that instance does 1.42 average wounds (one shot, 2+ to hit, 2+ to wound re-rolling 1s, 4+ modified save, d6 damage). That's right, Ahriman doesn't even do enough average Psychic damage to kill one Marine per round. And even if he gets lucky and rolls a 6 for damage, that's still only going to kill one Marine because he only fires one shot.
For fun, an Aspiring Sorcerer with the same buffs does 1.02 damage per shot (hitting on 3s, mortal wounds on 3s to wound, re-rolling 1s). So between the two of them that's a collective damage output of 2.44.
Let's compare that with some Tyranids' Psychic damage output against the same targets, shall we?
Even if you want to be generous and include a Doombolt, that's on average 5 Mortal wounds which brings them up to 7.44 average damage, which is STILL LESS than what the Maleceptor does against squads of 5 or larger. Let me repeat that: Ahriman, plus an Aspiring Sorcerer, plus a Doombolt, does less total Psychic damage than a single Maleceptor.
Someone tell me why, as a Thousand Sons player whose favorite part of the faction was casting spells and deleting units with magic, I should be at all excited for 10th edition at this point.

- Swarmlord: 4.33 damage (2 dead Marines)
- Neurotyrant: 4.66 damage / 5.83 against Battleshocked target (2+ dead Marines)
- Maleceptor: 7.2 damage against a single model; 8.4 damage against a squad of 5 (3 dead Marines b/c no damage overflow); 9.42 damage against a squad of 10 (still 3 dead Marines)
- Zoanthrope (using unfocused blast): 1.18 damage - that's right, a single Zoanthrope does only 17% less Psychic damage than Ahriman. A MSU of 3 puts out 3.54 damage.
Even if you want to be generous and include a Doombolt, that's on average 5 Mortal wounds which brings them up to 7.44 average damage, which is STILL LESS than what the Maleceptor does against squads of 5 or larger.

2023.06.08 19:28 UncleCheezy Fork in the road
I am 32 years old and I am faced with a major life choice.
My father passed away recently, and my uncle came to visit during the time he was in the hospital and he came for the funeral. During this time I reconnected with my uncle who I haven’t seen since I was 10. My uncle offered for me and my family to move my family out to California where he lives and to basically help transition us to the area. He even offered to find us a place to live for free until we get on our feet. I am a teacher and a football coach in the Midwest, and love my job. It can be stressful at times but overall it brings me a lot of joy. I am torn on what to do, my uncle runs a very successful company out there and is into real estate and other side gigs. To put it lightly he’s a multimillionaire, and would take me under his wing in hopes to get me to start bringing in a lot of money as well. People who have worked for him made around $250,000-$400,000 a year. I am married and have two children so that’s another factor in my decision.
I am well established in my community where I live, and have a good life with free time to spend with my family. My wife and I bring in about 130,000 a year and are able to live comfortably in the Midwest. In California, I know it’s more expensive to live and I will probably be having to work longer hours and possibly everyday since it’s a business I’ll be working for. I believe in family time, and being around for my children as they grow. I was talking to my cousins (uncles kids) and they mentioned that he was not around a lot growing up because he was always working. While I’d love to make a lot more money, I worry that I will give up time away that I will never get back, and do not want my children to resent me for it down the road in life.
I am visiting this summer for a celebration of life for my father in Cali, for the family who couldn’t attend the funeral we had in the Midwest and I will get a feel for the life out there. What should I do in this situation, and what advice do you have on possibly living in California that I am not aware of? (Cost, taxes, Travel, etc.) it is in Northern Cali, outside of the Bay Area.

2023.06.08 19:27 worriedfirsttimer6 Cramping only a few days at 4 weeks
Hi everyone,
I’m on my early pregnancy journey following an ectopic ending in one dose of methotrexate and right-sided salpingectomy at the beginning of March. Because of that, I feel very hyper aware of every single symptom up until this point. Mine began on day one of my missed period, which I tested because my cycles have been out of whack due to the methotrexate. I had the faintest positive…so faint that at my OBGYN appt later that morning (coincidentally planned due to need for 3 month surgery follow-up), I had a negative test. Given tracking my fertile window - also out of whack - and comparing to intercourse days, I could narrow down that I was probably 9-10 days DPO
Tuesday morning, had a positive and my first beta drawn given my history, and it came back 44. My second was drawn today so fingers crossed!
That said, I only had cramping from Monday until very late last night. Moderate, mid abdominal, no spotting. But today…nothing. I know that symptoms can come and go, but it seems like a lot of experiences I read about women have cramping for a week or longer. I’m just hoping some of you with short-term early cramping can reassure me
Thank you!
