Probably stupid to complain about but sometimes i wonder if Lost would have been able to cut out all the background characters. Maybe leave like 5 or 6 and give them faces and a few lines even.
Now when i watch it just feels like random people from the street being asked to play background characters in Lost.
They don’t care to check out the hatch, that they ask questions about others, smokie etc, never have anything to say or add.
What really annoys me most is when they die. If your stranded on a island you can’t tell me our losties dont connect with them. Have conversations, share thoughts, etc. But when they die(because of Keamy, when the boat explodes and the arrow attacks) nobody gives a shit. No moarning, no words, nothing, our losties seem to just know the other losties and these people are nothing.
Just in a little complaining mood, sorry!

Like vancouver for example has a super punk and skater influenced style, with alot of people mixing in hiphop elements or just straight up hiphop outfits but i mean when i think of vancouver i think a guy with a hoodie, a beanie or bucket cap, khakis or skinny jeans and a pair of converse. Everyone knows when you first create your character starting in van this is the default skin.
​
Do you guys have such a distinct style their? On the island from the few times i visited Victoria and Nanaimo the style i sort of got was vintage and 60's style hippie outfits with hipster elements. Though I definitely didnt get a big enough sample size

Whether you have a few hours to spare each month or can commit to multiple sessions, the choice is yours. Join fellow adventurers as they embark on daring expeditions into the mysterious and untamed island of Oasis, which is nestled between Wildemount and Tal'Dorei on Exandria.
While we don't heavily rely on the Critical Role lore, it still exists within our world, with factions shaping the background and timeline. Our setting offers a myriad of gray areas, free from rigid concepts like "orcs are inherently evil." Think of it as similar in tone to Tal'Dorei: Reborn or Explorer's Guide to Wildemount.

There are no restrictions on the number of participants, and you won't feel left out if you join later. There's always something exciting for players of all levels, whether you're at level 3 or level 10. Currently, we have three Game Masters running D&D 5e games, one in a European Time Zone and the two in North America. We are also just starting a beginner-friendly Pathfinder 2e version of Oasis, playing on the same island and sharing lore with the 5e counterpart with two additional Game Masters for Pathfinder 2e that are quite new to the system (again, one in the EU, and one in NA).

CONCERNED CITIZENS IN BC PUBLISH YEAR-LONG INVESTIGATION INTO THE LOCAL "FREEDOM MOVEMENT": MEETS HATE GROUP CRITERIA CONCERNED CITIZENS IN BC PUBLISH YEAR-LONG INVESTIGATION INTO THE LOCAL "FREEDOM MOVEMENT": MEETS HATE GROUP CRITERIA
JUNE 8, 2023
Vancouver Island — A group of concerned citizens and independent researchers joined forces to report on the rise of hate on Vancouver Island and coastal British Columbia. After a year-long investigation from 2022 to 2023, the group has determined that the self-declared Vancouver Island "Freedom Movement" meets the criteria for a hate movement, as outlined by researchers and experts such as the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League.
Fearing for their safety, the group has chosen to publish anonymously. This report should serve as a warning sign to all elected leaders, community members, and people in positions of power: there is a movement brewing with insidious motives. This report merely touches on a small fraction of the hateful activities and organizing on Vancouver Island.
Hate must never be accepted in our communities. We must be willing to name it and counter it, otherwise we are doomed to repeat history.

So I had this old minecraft world that spawned me in the water next to an island with an Ocean monument, a few Ocean ruins, and a sunken ship all in the water surrounding my spawn island. i have the seed that used to load that world, but when i use it now, it's an entirely different map/terrain. My question is, how do i, or even really, CAN I find the seed that would load that same old world i had now in 1.20 using the old seed that used to load it??? (btw the old seed that used to load the world im asking about is -775017732. It's a really busted seed if you use the right version to load it properly)

Hi all.
I plan on coming to Shanghai on June 23 and will stay for a little over a month. Based on previous posts here, I found that Smart Shanghai and trip.com and similar sites are what people use to find housing these days for short term stays. I wonder if this is still true or if there are some other sites that people use.
I'm basically looking for a place that has good stable wifi, a desk and chair, good location (close to restaurants and public transportation, and under 6000 RMB per month if possible (~200 rmb per day). Does anyone have any leads for me?
Additionally, is there anything I should look out for in order to not get scammed? I assume trip.com and similar are pretty safe and reliable, but I don't know anything about Smart Shanghai. Is it similar to Craigslist? Or is more like Airbnb?
Thanks.

Good Morning Everyone!
My friends & I are visiting Grand Cayman from June 14th-18th. We are super excited for the relaxing island life & have already looked up a bunch of cool stuff to do around the island. We just need help with 2 things!
(For context, we are staying in Old Man Bay, but have rental cars to get around the island)

1. We are foodies! We love food!! What are your best restaurant/hole-in-the-wall suggestions??
   
2. We aren’t coming to Grand Cayman for the night life, but one night we did want to get WILD with the locals & other tourist. What’s the best night to go out?? What’s the best place to have fun??
   

Thank you in advance to everyone who comments!!

Hello! I am looking for an apartment for a few days, however i would like to pay in cash. Booking.com and Airbnb are only accepting card payments.
Looking for any help to this matter. Do locals use some other websites to contact homeowners directly?
Cheers!

THE BEST WAY TO BECOME A SECURITY MAXIMALIST In the beginning, there was The GuardiaNNN.ai. It was an idea for a simple token listing - a list of projects. And it was the beginning of an idea for our team. At that time, we were still working full-time at an agency and only had time for occasional purchases of low-cap projects. It was then that we first encountered far more scams on the market than genuine efforts to build something. The more scams we encountered on our journey, the clearer it became that we had to do something about it.
So the idea for Smart Check with AI was born - a tool that would detect hidden threats and backdoors. As the bull market transformed and fraudulent practices increased, new features and ideas were packed into it to combat fake projects and to protect users from losing considerable money and trust in crypto.
With this concept, the core team quit their agency jobs and threw themselves 100% into developing the entire NNN ecosystem.
It is now growing into an emerging platform which combines a launchpad for creating new projects, an NFT marketplace free of malicious bots, a DEX hub for shopping on the famous DEXs, and a news centre that collects quality content from projects and crypto bloggers. It’s similar to Medium, but done in a decentralized way.
WE OFFER PROTECTION TO INVESTORS, BUT WE DON'T RESTRICT THEM GuardiaNNN.ai addresses how people make their investment decisions. It offers cold-blooded analysis without emotion. Facts in black and white. We have yet to determine how many people it has already saved. The check alone has been used over 3,000 times. Some users would say this tool has protected them from fraud and made research easier. And that's exactly what GuardiaNNN.ai is all about. It doesn't decide whether a project is a scam or a new gem. Instead, it provides the basis for a good, in-depth analysis of the technical aspects of projects.
Many people are just learning about the crypto world and need help understanding how to buy in. That’s why GuardiaNNN.ai will be followed later on by an academic library which will guide users through the world of cryptocurrencies. We are building a community of people around us - both experts and enthusiasts - who can and want to help newcomers.
MORE THAN 80% OF PROJECTS ARE NOT LEGIT OR TRANSPARENT The world of cryptocurrencies is a world of molten lava. Even the most significant and valuable projects can’t claim to be finished products. Every now and then, a new island surfaces and everyone jumps on it, hoping to make a quick buck. And many speculators exploit this. But it shouldn’t be said that a project has a bad intention coded into it from the get go. Sometimes it may just be an experiment that didn't work out. We can talk endlessly about the whys and hows of failures. Sometimes conspiracies arise, and shocking revelations surface. But no-one can see into the future. And that’s when GuardiaNNN.ai comes into play. It’s there, ready, willing and able to help and respond to what is happening in projects right now – in real-time.
Many people buy into the hype that comes with social trends. A typical example is meme tokens which the crazy crowd don’t do their research on. Things can then not turn out well. There are thousands of examples. Remember the Squidgame token? It was a showcase scam that succeeded precisely because the average user lacked the tools to help them analyze the project and keep their money out of it. Good risk management is essential for any type of investment - even the most seemingly stable ones. You can't rely on luck alone.
GuardiaNNN.ai IS THE SPINE OF THE NNN ECOSYSTEM GuardiaNNN.ai is a pilot project being developed at NNN. Its primary purpose is to eliminate scammers from the crypto world. Everyone can use it for free, but NNN token holders can also access advanced tools to make trading easier. And they also get more detailed analysis and special offers. This living ecosystem is growing and thriving thanks to the community's activity.
NNNNNFT MARKETPLACE IS ONE-OF-A-KIND The market is flooded with NFTs that have no value and no meaning. They are artificially maintained and often full of bots. Our concept is built on the idea of not giving bots a chance to join in and negatively influence projects.
We prioritize the community and our reward system, which we call Karma. 1.5% of all NFT sales on the marketplace flow into our Karma system, which in turn rewards people with incentives, so they’re more active in supporting and helping each other. This further develops the community and benefits the ecosystem so it can grow organically.
LET THERE BE DEX HUB and LAUNCHPAD! All good things come to those who wait, so DEX HUB will be added to the ecosystem. We want to develop GuardiaNNN.ai as a hub, which will let you choose the most suitable decentralized exchange based on your preferences or preferred exchange rates. And the list of exchanges will continue to grow.
We also plan to add Launchpad for new, ambitious projects which meet quality standards. But it all depends on how fast the community develops because we prefer to grow organically and sustainably.
The goal is to build a diverse and robust portfolio of comprehensive products and services on the blockchain. And so, the NNN Community can help the project - by setting up tailor-made contracts and taking care of auditing, promoting and moderating the project.
Another of the ecosystem’s unique elements is the news aggregator. This collects news from the crypto world and enables content creators and members of specific communities to present their aims and intentions and whatever it is that they’re passionate about. Every project can have a profile and create its own content. That means every community can create its own news hub in the ecosystem and spread its content to the world more efficiently than before.
WHAT MAKES US TICK We love exploring and evaluating how projects work. And we love exploring how others engage the community, how they evolve technically, and where their strengths and weaknesses are. The never-ending collection of data and information allows us to raise the bar higher. Our ambition is vast because we see in NNN a way to connect the very best of what works with the most useful things a person preoccupied with the crypto world needs for their comfort and safety.
For many years we have worked in teams that have helped others realize their dreams and visions. Two senior full-stack developers, Zdeno and Pato, are at the forefront of development. Lukáš works as our project and marketing manager. We have worked with corporates and agencies, and that’s why we know what the pitfalls of complex work on projects are. That’s also why we dare to create what no one else so far has done. And that’s why we love our work!
HOW DOES GuardiaNNN.ai AI WORK? This is top secret. Sometimes you shouldn’t blurt out things to the world because competition lurks everywhere. The bottom line is that it works. The main thing that makes us stand out from the competition is that GuardiaNNN.ai is dynamic. It can identify hidden threats with high accuracy.
This helps ordinary users and crypto fans avoid scams, and protect their assets from bad or emotionally-driven decisions. The universal adoption of cryptocurrencies into mainstream life will only happen when people have the tools to help them avoid scams. And it will all only be possible when there’s quality and reliable analysis, sufficient information, transparent communication, and a trusted community.
Only some crypto markets currently offer a comprehensive tool like GuardiaNNN.ai. At the moment, you still have to click through several pages of various checks. And the best quality tools are paid for yet still not sufficient. But we've found a way to give everyone a free security option.
Thanks to GuardiaNNN.ai, project creators can voluntarily arm their potential fans with a tool that strengthens their credibility. By having high traffic on the platform, they can more easily present themselves to new people. Through our innovation hub, they can gain reinforcements for their team and grow their community. And Launchpad will open the way for them to raise new capital for development. The listing has Trending Top Projects embedded in it, secured by an honest vote using a crypto wallet. Polls won't simply be bought. Instead, projects must earn their rightful place in them by being active, approachable, and engaging.
