I feel so goddamn broken. I’m an addict, I want to quit pot, but it’s the only way I can have sex without pain

TW: no one who is feeling down about their situation should read this. Please click back. Your situation is not mine, your body is not mine. I’m being upset and dramatic. Take care of yourself.
I want to be intoxicated. My partner is out of town so I’m drunk—I’m sober from alcohol otherwise. My pot intake is fucking up my PhD and my life but I keep using because it’s the only way that sex doesn’t hurt. I just want to fuck my boyfriend of TEN FUCKING YEARS.
I got diagnosed with bipolar and the meds (Wellbutrin is the culprit, but I’m on others) make me so goddamn horny. I want to fuck. I’m an evolutionary biologist, and I know I was literally DESIGNED to fuck. Why does it hurt???? Why do I have to get high to fix it??
I’ve thoughts for years and years that it’s my hymenal tissue. The pain is ONLY and exclusively at the entrance, but my OBGYN keeps giving me advice like “it’s tilted to the left.” DEPTH ISNT THE FUCKING PROBLEM. Why won’t it stop. Why won’t they give me a hymenectomy like I asked. But noooo they say it’s vulvodynia.
I have only had bad gynos since I was 16, and I brought up hymenectomy to doctors working in an almost 100% Hispanic Catholic area. I’m 25 now. Should I push for the hymenectomy? Can it make things worse? Does anyone see progress from it? I have no intention of passing my bipolar disorder onto children so no worries about potential birth complications.
I want to be sober. I want to be sober. I don’t want to get high just to get fucked. I’m so tired.
I don’t even know what my treatment options are. Please tell me. I did physical therapy, it helped, but now it’s JUST that the tissue right at the entrance gets SO irritated so quickly.
I’m designed for this. 3.7 billions years of evolution just to dead end in my broken vagina. It’s not about being a mother for me, or about being a woman the right way. I am designed for something I can’t fucking do. Painstakingly, natural selection has tried to choose a functional vagina for me and instead I got this piece of shit.
In before common advice—I am in fact a victim of sexual abuse, I feel that I’ve moved past this and I never think about it when I’m being sexual. I’ve been in therapy for it for 15 years and I rarely think about it. We use lube, we use foreplay. My partner is below average. I’m just fucking broken.
Is this a fixable disease? Do I need to choose between a career and a sex life? Is it pot and sex or sobriety and pain, or is there another option?

2023.06.09 07:16 Obvious_Crab_8550 My (23F) bf of 6 years (23M) is saying hurtful things, and I'm afraid to confront him because he shuts down.

Hi reddit. Sorry if this post is rough around the edges. I'm much more used to reading reddit posts than posting them myself. There will be a TLDR at the end, but I'm seeking advice on how to confront my bf about some things he has said recently. I'll try to keep things as short and sweet as I can but it'll probably be a bit long! For some backstory my bf, let's call him Jack and I met in highschool. We come from pretty different backgrounds. I was a very poor kid growing up, broken family dynamic, homeless a few times, and I really struggled fitting in most of my life. Jack has his own battles to but since day 1, he's always had a couple of friends, fairly good family life, and had a lot of help early on establishing himself as an adult. All of this is important because many of our problems we have faced in our relationship stem from our differences understanding one another. Onto the current problem. Jack has always been the type of man to bottle up his feelings. It's taken several years but he's now mostly comfortable telling me about his feelings, his emotions, and other things stressing him out. I've always tried to be a supportive partner and remind him his feelings are valid and it's ok to talk when he's ready. The one thing I've noticed that becomes harder is when the problem and feelings are involving me. Let's say I said or did something to upset Jack. He may tell me, and I'll apologize and try to fix the problem but if I had a reason for my actions I will tell him, and he seems to always shut down saying he's a bad bf or he's being to sensitive and shouldn't be so upset. When he shuts down he won't talk to me about anything at all for days on end, and I find myself having to bottle my feelings because I can't say anything back to defend myself. It sometimes leads to arguments that I think could be handled like adults but lead to a complete mental shut down on Jack's side. Examples of things he said and my responses? Jack is a spontaneous man who likes to go out and do things, and take vacations out of state. He said I never go out and he feels like he can't enjoy himself. I like being at home more. I make myself go out a lot and I do enjoy it but he does it a lot. I said he can go out anytime he wants but he needs to tell me ahead of time about vacations so I can make sure it's financially possible for me. I tell him that he needs to give me notice on spontaneous plans because I need time to get my things done and get ready. I don't like suddenly going out when I haven't showered or I'm in pajamas. Jack shut down saying he was being a bad bf and apologized for pressuring me, but this has happened a few times and I always end up comforting him and debating it less and less each time. Jack also recently said he cringes hearing me talk to his family. I don't have a good relationship with the near entirety of my family. I do not talk to any extended family or siblings and I have a rocky relationship with my parents. Jack's family often hangout once a week for a small dinner and it's normal for many of them to hangout at a farm one of them owns and hangout for the day on a weekend. Because of work I often miss these hangouts but lately I've been trying to come around more. I've always had a hard time talking to his family. While no one is mean to me, I feel like some of them don't think I'm good enough for Jack because I'm not as settled as an adult as him. Few of them try to talk to me and even when I try to join or start convos not many talk to me so I've learned to stay back and sometimes outright avoid the whole thing. Recently at one of the small dinners however I was talking to his grandmother about dogs we liked. When we left to go home Jack said he cringes hearing me talk to them because I'm to loud and hyper (I suffer from adhd if that means anything) I felt very embarassed and uncomfortable and I decided not to say anything about it because I knew he would get upset if I brought up what he said hurt my feelings or if I asked when else I've made him feel that way. He must have noticed because he said I looked a little upset and I was being quiet. I had to force myself to smile and talk even though I felt like crying becuase I didn't want to start an argument and make him feel like he can't say things to me. All of this has made me feel a lot less happy lately. I want to support Jack's feelings but I don't think it's fair I'm now hiding mine because he always shuts down when I try to confront him and talk. I feel like I can't say anything negative about him nor can I say how I feel in return when he says something negative about me. I don't want to go out with his family or mutual friends because I'm afraid I'll embarass us both, but if I don't go out at all it upsets Jack. Does anyone have any advice how I can handle talking to him about these things he has said to me? How can I tell Jack it's ok to say how he feels about me but keep him from shitting down when I say anything back?
TLDR: Bf says I don't go out enough and socialize enough and he cringes hearing me talk to his family. I don't know how to confront him that it hurts my feelings because he emotionally shuts down.

2023.06.09 07:10 ilikepeaches24 Brother mooching off of everyone

(20f) I’m at a loss I have no idea how to help i really don’t. My brother is 40 we have a 20 year age difference so he was more like a parental figure to me growing up. From what I can remember he had a good head on his shoulders. When I was 10 he met someone they moved in together. they broke up and he moved back home in the basement when I was about 16 since then it’s been hell for everybody.
All he does is work and play video games. My dad charges him $200 for rent he has never paid for groceries he’s never lifted a finger to help out around the house in the years that he’s lived here he has never washed a dish, made dinner nothing of the sort. he also leaves a lot of mess around the house like spilling juice on the floo food on counte sticky hand prints on fridge which me and my mother have to clean. he sorta just comes home smokes weed drinks makes a mess then goes to bed.
I try to help out when I can I clean the house I give my dad money I buy my parents things that they want or need and everything that I need for myself comes out of my pocket as it should. It’s mainly just me and my mother that do everything. I find myself having to fix up the house in ways that I don’t really know how. Like fixing broken cabinets plumbing mowing the lawn etc. the lawn mower broke down recently and I had to repair it myself my dad told me how but I was left to do it.
Not to say that these aren’t things that girls should be doing but not when I have a brother who is much older and literally sits and does nothing. My dad doesn’t do anything besides work as well but at least he keeps a roof over my head so I try to help him out the best I can.
I work full time I recently graduated and paid my way through school by working crazy hours. I have savings because I’m trying to move out I’m working really hard to try and get where I need to be and be able to provide for myself. My brother is constantly asking to borrow money basically like every other week. We make the same salary. recently I splurged and bought $350 headphones I wanted which I never do. I didn’t get the chance to use them he asked to borrow them for a day and it’s been a month since I’ve gotten them back I checked on them and they’re in horrible condition. I told my parents about this and they got mad at me for giving it to him because “I should’ve known better” I swear sometimes when we talk about him it feels like we’re talking about a toddler.
My parents talk about how they want him to move out but they never say anything to him in fact, they enable him. it’s almost like he’s the youngest and I’m the oldest I have no idea how to combat this. I just need to rant and get everything out I hate the dynamic of our family sorry if the layout is weird I’m typing this on my phone

2023.06.09 06:47 stygarfield r/Nanaimo will be going dark on June 12 for 48 hours to protest the API changes.

What's going on?

A recent Reddit policy change threatens to kill many beloved third-party mobile apps, making many quality-of-life features not seen in the official mobile app permanently inaccessible to users. If you, or someone you know has a visual impairment - these changes will also block the tools they use to access reddit, as the reddit website and official app are ill-designed and un-equipped to aid those with accessibility issues.
On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill many useful third party apps on Reddit, from Apollo to Reddit is Fun to Narwhal to BaconReader.
This isn't only a problem on the user level: many subreddit moderators depend on tools only available outside the official app to keep their communities on-topic and spam-free.

What's the plan?

On June 12th, many subreddits will be going dark to protest this policy. Some will return after 48 hours: others will go away permanently unless the issue is adequately addressed, since many moderators aren't able to put in the work they do with the poor tools available through the official app. This isn't something any of us do lightly: we do what we do because we love Reddit, and we truly believe this change will make it impossible to keep doing what we love.
The two-day blackout isn't the goal, and it isn't the end. Should things reach the 14th with no sign of Reddit choosing to fix what they've broken, we'll use the community and buzz we've built between then and now as a tool for further action.

What can you do?

  1. Complain. Message the mods of /reddit.com, who are the admins of the site: message reddit: submit a support request: comment in relevant threads on /reddit, such as this one, leave a negative review on their official iOS or Android app- and sign your username in support to this post.
  2. Spread the word. Meme it up, make it spicy. Bitch about it to your cat. Suggest anyone you know who moderates a subreddit join us at our sister sub at /ModCoord - but please don't pester mods you don't know by simply spamming their modmail, or by breaking the rules of other subreddits.
  3. Boycott and spread the word...to Reddit's competition! Stay off Reddit entirely on June 12th through the 13th- instead, take to your favourite non-Reddit platform of choice and make some noise in support!
  4. Don't be a jerk. As upsetting this may be, threats, profanity and vandalism will be worse than useless in getting people on our side. Please make every effort to be as restrained, polite, reasonable and law-abiding as possible. This includes not harassing moderators of subreddits who have chosen not to take part: no one likes a missionary, a used-car salesman, or a flame warrior.

How does it affect you?

In 2021, Reddit opened a Canadian office. This new office symbolised a recognition of the Canadian market being a model for what Reddit was seeking in other international market places. Reddit's own COO, Jen Wong has said, “Canada is already home to a deeply engaged Reddit audience that is growing steadily by the day and it is a top priority for us and our internationalisation strategy." source
Canadians are a largely sought after market, we have a disproportionate voice to lend to this important issue. Canadians on reddit punch way above their weight class, Nanaimo will join with countless subreddits in defense of these third party apps. These applications provide us as users, and as moderators, tools that make Reddit more usable, accessible, functionable, and easier to moderate.
Countless users have reached out on this important issue, and we are in agreement. Reddit's failure to listen to the community means we must speak in unison to protect these services. For those in disagreement, we will see you back on June 15.
We acknowledge that Reddit has been reaching out to moderators, and is recognizing the concern raised by the communities. We will keep users updated through this post as the situation changes.

How does this impact UrbanStudies?
Even if you only use the official Reddit app and/or "New Reddit" on your desktop, this change still impacts all of us. Our mods rely on third-party apps in order to keep up with moderation duties, and we see this change being pushed by Reddit Inc. as being anti-community and anti-user, particularly those who suffer from visual impairment.
We've all spent a lot of time on this website, both as posters and mods, and what this change will do is make it more difficult to do both, as the official Reddit app (along with "new" Reddit), while being terrible from a design standpoint, is also terrible in that it lacks effective moderation tools. As mods, we volunteer our precious time to work for this website in order to create positive discussion spaces for people — with the far superior apps offered by other Reddit users, made as a labour of love as this space was.
The exact time the sub will go dark isn't confirmed yet, just because of timezones and etc.

2023.06.09 04:46 mrgud69 Reset Site/Changed Template, store broken now?

Hello all!
I have reached out to support and I have not heard from them in over a day now, hopefully the good people of reddit have seen it/know how to fix it.
I built a new complete rebrand of my website using a free site(not published etc), saved it as a template.
I reset my main, actual site with an account and shop plan.
I started over with the template I created with the free site on my actual site.
All my products carried over, however, it says "Demo" and Printful was no longer logged in. I figured no biggie.
Logged in, the store I was using says it is no longer synced, tried refresh and it did not fix it. Logging in also created a new store and linked the main site to this new store.
I tried deleting the printful app, reinstalling/relogging in. Same thing.
I tried deleting the new store it creates, and pressing "refresh" while I have the old store in the Printful tab under the store manager on dudas end.
I tried creating a new product on the new store it creates when I log in, it pushes it to my store but does not allow me to view product page/cart/checkout page (I assume this is where the issue lies), as those should be auto generated when you have a store plan.
At this point I really wanted to be ready to launch the rebrand tomorrow and hype it through the weekend, but that isn't looking likely with a store that is broken.
Has anyone been in a similar situation and found a solution?

2023.06.09 04:08 Mooncakecute I want a family

All I ever wanted and still do, is a normal family. People say you can create your own family but it's not the same. Nobody can replace your parents and mine are unfortunately awful. I feel so lonely. Why is it so hard for my mom to love me the way I am. Why does she take every opportunity she gets to destroy the little confidence I've tried my hardest to build. Why can't my dad be someone I can look upto and be proud to call my dad. Why is he so cold-hearted and absent. I see myself as an orphan, forever yearning for a loving family. My heart is broken over the fact that I'll never experience what it's like to have one. I basically raised myself in a very toxic environment and I'm all fucked up now. They ruined my chance at life and I've to spend the rest of it trying to somewhat fix it. I despise them both with a burning passion

Help with clock repair!
Hi everyone! I am absolutely stumped with this emperor grandfather clock. The chimes, weights, and pendulum are currently off so I'm able to access things better.
When I received this clock the suspension spring was broken, so I ordered new one and thought "easy fix!". Well, I replaced the suspension spring and its still not working. With the pendulum and pendulum lead off IT DOES TIK just super fast. The pendulum lead seems to be too high up to sit on the suspension spring correctly (which is why I assume its not working), however it is an original part so I'm not sure if its installed wrong or what. I've been digging on the internet for hours to no avail. Just to note, I have leveled the clock, wound it correctly, and it was cleaned/oiled recently (and worked afterwards). Please help!! I would love to have this clock working again!

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I hack my 3DS? / Follow the guide here don't use a youtube video
Can i play out of region games? / Hacking makes your 3DS/2DS be able to play any region. You can play EUR games on a USA system and the opposite USA games on a EUR system.
My game isn’t loading! / import the seed first by locating the game within FBI → Titles → Selecting the game → Import seed. If that doesn't work, try switching the games region to whatever it is with Luma Locale Switcher. If the game is USA then switch the region of it to USA and try loading it again. For certain games, like Luigi's Mansion and Tomodachi Life, you need the right region for the game to work. If you can't get games to work please comment below for help.
Whatever happened to Freeshop? / Nintendo killed it, along with all other programs that get games from Eshop servers. They are permanently dead. Try the HShop
Can I update to the latest update? / Yes. Update Luma to the latest stable release and then update your system software.
I found a .CIA - now what? / Put it on your SD card and use an installer like FBI to install the game.
Can I get banned for pirating games? / Yes and No. It has happened in the past, but it's been years since any bans. Nintendo does not know if your console is hacked. They do not know if you are playing games you installed from a .CIA. Don't cheat while playing online and you should be fine. 3DS is dead now anyway so Nintendo seems to have giving up.
How can I install games if I don't have access to the SD card? / Use Boop (Use version 1.4.0 if the game you're sending is 1GB or larger) or FTPD. Boop is PC only while FTP can be done via PC or your phone. Boop guide and FTP Phone guide for Android and Apple. FTP is easy to use on PC just use a FTP app like Filezilla.
If I have a pirated copy of Pokémon, can I use the Pokébank? / Yes. You do need to pay the yearly fee to use Pokébank and no you can't hack it to use it for free. You can also use PKSM on your 3DS or PKHEX on your PC for a free alternative. See this guide for more helpful Pokémon information.
Can I upgrade my SD Card? / Yes. If you want to upgrade your SD card all you need to do is format the new card to Fat32 and copy the entire contents of your old card to the new one. Cards up to 256GB seem to work fine. 128GB and bigger SD cards should be formatted with 64KB clusters or else GBA VC Injects may have display problems.
Can I pop in my SD card into a non hacked console and have my games playable? / No, it doesn't work like that. Even a hacked console can't use the same SD card you have in another system. Nintendo made the 3DS locked to a single system with the SD card. Meaning it only works on the one system it's tied to.
Can I do a system transfer to another system and still have my CIA games? / Yes, but the other console needs to be hacked first. Hack the system you wish to system transfer to first (I would advise you to back up your saves with checkpoint before doing the transfer in case anything happens) Then do the system transfer. Once done use Faketik to restore your CIA installed games.
I have some .3ds files how do I convert them to .cia, or Install them to my device? / If you want to do a conversion on your 3DS use this guide. If you want to do it on your PC use this program. If you want to install them directly you can do so by using Godmode9.
I have a 3DS game cartridge that I want to dump and install as a .cia how do I do it? / Guide here
I want to backup or edit my GBA VC Inject save how do I get the save file? / How to Backup and how to Restore the save.
I want to hack my system, how risky is it? / *Thanks to our user fork_on_the_floor2 who has done a poll among our members we can give you the empirical risks of you running into problems:

2023.06.09 03:50 AutoModerator r/horror will go dark on June 12th in protest of Reddit's API changes

What's going on?

A recent Reddit policy change threatens to kill many beloved third-party mobile apps, making a great many quality-of-life features not seen in the official mobile app permanently inaccessible to users.
On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill every third party app on Reddit, from Apollo to Reddit is Fun to Narwhal to BaconReader. Some of these platforms have already announced that they are shutting down due to the changes.
Even if you're not a mobile user and don't use any of those apps, this is a step toward killing other ways of customizing Reddit, such as Reddit Enhancement Suite or the use of the old.reddit.com desktop interface .
This isn't only a problem on the user level: many subreddit moderators depend on tools only available outside the official app to keep their communities on-topic and spam-free.

What's the plan?

On June 12th, many subreddits will be going dark to protest this policy. Some will return after 48 hours: others will go away permanently unless the issue is adequately addressed, since many moderators aren't able to put in the work they do with the poor tools available through the official app. This isn't something any of us do lightly: we do what we do because we love Reddit, and we truly believe this change will make it impossible to keep doing what we love.
The two-day blackout isn't the goal, and it isn't the end. Should things reach the 14th with no sign of Reddit choosing to fix what they've broken, we'll use the community and buzz we've built between then and now as a tool for further action.

What can you do?

  1. Complain. Message the mods of reddit.com, who are the admins of the site: message reddit: submit a support request: comment in relevant threads on reddit, such as this one, leave a negative review on their official iOS or Android app- and sign your username in support to this post.
  2. Spread the word. Rabble-rouse on related subreddits. Meme it up, make it spicy. Bitch about it to your cat. Suggest anyone you know who moderates a subreddit join us at our sister sub at ModCoord - but please don't pester mods you don't know by simply spamming their modmail.
  3. Boycott and spread the word...to Reddit's competition! Stay off Reddit entirely on June 12th through the 13th- instead, take to your favorite non-Reddit platform of choice and make some noise in support!
  4. Don't be a jerk. As upsetting this may be, threats, profanity and vandalism will be worse than useless in getting people on our side. Please make every effort to be as restrained, polite, reasonable and law-abiding as possible. This includes not harassing moderators of subreddits who have chosen not to take part: no one likes a missionary, a used-car salesman, or a flame warrior.
During this time, our official Discord server will still be available for those seeking alternate communities. It is not directly affiliated or moderated by Reddit but does still serve as the official server for Horror.

2023.06.09 03:43 anonymousb777 was i emotionally abused

For context, I was having a conversation with one of my friends about this guy I had an unofficial relationship/friendship with about a year and a half ago. I was also talking to her about how being bullied affected me, but more specifically affected my gpa from sophomore year (we're both currently juniors). At some point during the conversation she said to me; "you were being abused." and I kind of laughed about it, I said something like it really isn't that serious like people do shitty things to each other all the time, but I wouldn't call it abuse. And she said, "No, you were being verbally abused." And I was kind of like that's a little dramatic but okay. In these last few weeks, I did a lot of research about abuse and trauma and honestly I was kind of shocked. I resonated with almost every single article I found and I even took quizzes or screenings about abuse and every single one told that it was emotional abuse. It seems wrong to call the relationship I was in and the way I was treated abusive because than I have to accept that that person didn't genuinely love me and honestly could care less about me or if they did love or care for me at all they wouldn't treat me like that. But it's so complicated because there's always room for discussion. I made mistakes too. The guy was a teenager, so was I. I did things wrong too and I didn't always know how to communicate properly. Who knows maybe deep down he did care but didn't express it properly or was too immature to show it. But truthfully I remember during the course of that friendship/relationship I just remember I was in a lot of emotional pain and under a lot of stress but I never really knew why. No one ever told me that someone telling you no one loves or cares about you is wrong, or being told that you're stupid is wrong, or being blamed for everything is wrong, being told that you're selfish or that you overreact about everything, saying one thing and doing the exact opposite etc, is wrong and someone who loves you shouldn't do those things (romantically, platonically, etc).
I was thinking about it for a long time and I came to realize that the reason I could not accept that maybe this person I loved and cared about so deeply did actually emotionally abuse me was because that would mean accepting that my parents did as well. And it made me realize that I never questioned it or just assumed it was normal or that eventually he would stop or things would work out was because that's what I'd known my entire life. I always assumed that the problems I had with my parents or strained relationships were just normal, and a part of growing up and my parents were just strict and it was something I had to deal with. And yeah, to an extent there were things that were simply normal and parts of growing up, but I only recently remembered a shit ton of things from my childhood that I kind of repressed as well as things that happened recently, and I never once reconsidered the fact that it might've actually been fucked up. It's weird because it's so easy to brush everything under the carpet because they're my parents, and I just have to assume that everything they're doing is well-meaning, even if I don't like all of it. And because they're my parents they're family and it's kind of a loyalty thing that no one should disown or estrange themselves from their parents because they're trying their best unless of course, in extreme cases. Recently for my own processing of things I started writing down in a bullet point kind of format things from my childhood or things that happened that make me upset or uneasy, but I'm not sure still if I overreacted or misremembered these things or it was actually bad. Disclaimer: I understand that I have a lot to be grateful for, both my parents are alive and living in the same household, not addicted to anything, don't physically hurt me. I have friends and I know several people with really unfortunate living situations or family problems and I'm sure that is the case for many people here as well so I truly don't mean to come across as an ungrateful brat but I just need some kind of closure or understanding about my life.
If you read all the way to the bottom just let me know your honest opinions and thoughts or if I'm overreacting about everything. It's strange because while I'm not particulary close with either one of my parents, I feel closer and more loved by my dad than my mom. I kind of accepted that my dad has some anger issues and a bad temper but he does genuinely care about me and love me he just can't always control himself. With my mom I hold much more resentment because I feel like she intentionally manipulates me and makes no efforts to change her behavior. I love my siblings very much and I plan on keeping close contact with them while in college but I don't know if I want to contact my parents after I move out, or how to even go about that. I don't even know what to talk to them about and it feels unnatural because they know so little about me as I don't trust them at all. I just want to know if I am being dramatic about this-like are these normal conflicts in every family or was I truly mistreated? I have a lot of self esteem issues and other issues about my self worth and the way I view myself and I never really considered until it now it might be because of the way I was treated by people my entire life.

2023.06.09 03:35 RoryIsAwesome6116 To those who do not believe how much the bugs affects Hank, here is some evidence of all of the bugs coming to a head here.

To those who do not believe how much the bugs affects Hank, here is some evidence of all of the bugs coming to a head here.
This is an extremely long read, read if you have the time for it, and are willing to actually take in all of it. This basically shows my thoughts for how the game balance is going since every update two or more brawlers have arrived.
This is my second Rank 25 ever. Normally, it takes me at least a month after I see how to actually play them to bring them to Rank 20. The exception being Edgar, who took a while for me to learn, but became my most skilled brawler, at Rank 27, but suffering from the Shelly meta, and not having the time to bring him back up on the good days for him.
With Hank, and abusing the damage gear, and the fact that after you shoot the ball, the balloon still grows, and you just need to tap to get the attack button after getting the damage gear to delete the enemies, I got to Rank 25. In 2 days.
Just for some perspective on my end, I don't have much time to push trophies in general. The fact that I had gotten Edgar to Rank 27 was a miracle in itself. It took a month with how tough it is for Edgar to go against burst damage to reach Rank 25, and a lot of practice went into place to get my skill up enough on him to get not only Rank 25, but his title, and finally Rank 27. And he was the only brawler before Hank's release to get to Rank 25.
Hank was released yesterday, and I found out how the mechanic works, and made a graph in Excel after constantly having to repeat what's going on with the damage modifier bug, and it was not completely accurate, Crow's Extra Toxic removes 43.75% of Hank's damage, not 56.25%, and boosted booster gives a 125% increase in attack. And I was just trying to get Excel to work. Before that, I got him to 500 trophies.
This is the first time that I have gotten a Rank 20 so easily, there was 0 skill involved, and I showed someone else who had a Power 11 Hank with the damage gear how broken a team with Ruffs was. We won 7 games in a row with a random teammate, and myself being a Power 7 Ruffs. On Snake Prairie. They didn't realize how broken it was until playing a few games, and getting way too much damage. That was yesterday.
Today, I got Hank to Rank 25. Alone. I had a win 8 Solo Showdown matches quest, and just chose Hank because I didn't want to deal with other Hanks. After that, I just pushed in Sneaky Fields, making enemies basically have to deal with a Shelly with the ball from damage alone. And with trying to get other brawlers to Rank 25 and failing before, to do that so quickly and easily with Hank is a problem. For reference, the bugs I know for Hank are the following:
•Damage modifiers that affect Hank are exponential on his main attack. •When Hank gets the ball when aiming his normal attack, the balloon stays. If you throw the ball, the balloon stays after that even. When you tap the attack button, it deals the full damage. It is worse when combined with any positive damage modifier. •Damage modifiers do not affect his super at all, so with Crow, even though Hank deals less damage with his main attack, his super will still only need 3-4 torpedos to land on you, depending on a shield of any kind. •The balloon is too small at times, and doesn't hit where the aim retical says it does. •The balloon is too large at times, and hits where it shouldn't. •The speed increase doesn't start until 100% size for some reason.
Those are the reason why he is seen in Brawl Ball frequently, along with ruining Showdown. There are just so many bugs with him, it is ridiculous.
Overall, my opinion. Is he fun to play, yes. Is he fun to play against, no. And the reason for that are due to the bugs that are in game with him. My stance on giving emergency nerfs to him is to not do that. He is very bugged right now, and I am suprised that he is allowed to be like this for over a day.
The only brawlers that have ever been temporarily unavailable are Gene, Bonnie, and Willow. All of which were due to crashing games. I get Hank being available for the first day, as people were figuring out how he worked, and he wasn't crashing games. But a maintenance should have occured to at least fix the most glaring issue with him right now, being the damage modifiers problem. He should have been an exception, as even Chester, Willow, and Gray after being either fixed, or left in their state has not caused lobbys days after first releasing to still be filled with the new brawler (Gray was slower due to the quest nature, but was still not to Hank's degree).
Hank's release may have been later than some hoped, and more sudden than everyone expected, but he should have been actually tested in more gamemodes more than once. I have never played a brawler without such recklessness and got away with it up to 750 trophies.
Supercell, if you are reading this, and I hope you are, please put a bit more effort into balancing, and make fewer brawlers overall. The amount of unique characters are great, but balancing has taken a hit due to that. 6/9 brawlers released during this time have been either overpowered, or broken to crashing games. Gus was underpowered, leaving only Mandy and Maisie somewhat balanced. At the start of this update, Meg got a huge buff, which was a rework, that broke Showdown, and after settling down for a bit, Shelly was considered the best brawler in the game. Both are still overwhelming, and Meg needs a nerf, and Shelly needs a slight speed nerf, meanwhile my favorite character Edgar needs a range buff at the very least. In terms of range to HP, Edgar scores the worst, with Edgar having the lowest HP in the very short category, even a 2 tile buff (2/3 of a block to everyone else) to his attack range would help a lot.
Stuff like that confuses me, as he has been in such a bad state pretty much since his launch, and excluding the fact that everyone had Edgar due to giving him away for free, lobbies were not filled with him every match. And the part about ignoring the free aspect cannot be overlooked. Not everyone wanted to grind for Grey, but everyone got Edgar, and basing a decision on that is unfair. I would honestly be fine if brawlers slowed down for a bit so that balancing the new brawlers so there are not game breaking glitches, along with having more thought into balancing in general would be great. If you, Supercell, had more time, I am sure Hank would not have arrived in this state, and Willow wouldn't have either.

2023.06.09 03:23 ninjawolf4games I've been doing some thinking

Hi, its been 2 years since I've used this account (don't ask why, its a long story) and effectively, I realized a lot in the times between the start of this pandemic till now.
  1. I am a Trans Woman. I use She/Her Pronouns.
  2. I am a Lesbian, so effectively in simple terms, I am a Transbian.
  3. I am nearing my end of being a teenager and nearly almost an adult (yay in sarcasm).
  4. I nearly ruined my friendship with my best friend and am currently trying to fix broken bridges and rapidly change my ways and habits.
  5. The United States of America was and always has been, deeply dysfunctional and geared towards the wealthiest.
  6. Being a frontline worker, does not really give you a lot of respect.
  7. We are all waiting for another housing crisis to even have a chance of buying a house.
  8. And finally, $7.25 for a minimum wage is not good enough anymore, and yet Conservative Americans proclaim that doing ANYTHING to help the poorest, is socialism. And yet, Denmark is the most socialized European state, and its pretty good to live in.
Sorry for the rant.

2023.06.09 03:23 VetsWifeSikes Myelogram of the Thoracic Spine, Per Patient Request

TW: My medical history is questionable at best, due to a absence mother who hated kids.
Adolescent Medical History: •Forced Ejection from Automobile (9yrs old) •Rollover ATV Accident (9yrs old) •Ejected ATV Accident (11yrs old) •Flagged for Possible Scoliosis* (12 yrs old) •Broken Right Arm (13 yrs old) •Braces Removed at Home (14 yrs old) •Melanoma Removed Mid-thoracic Spine (16 yrs old)
Current Medical Imaging Findings: •Loss of Cervical Lordosis with Cervical Kyphosis •Mild Disc Space Narrowing at C5-6 and C6-7 •Minimal Disc Bulge at C4-5 and C5-6 •Disc Bulge noted at C6-7 •Straightening of Lumbar Lordosis •Mild Curvature if the Mid-thoracic Spine to the right, Angle is Measured at 13 Degrees
My issue is getting a physician to believe me, when I say something is not right. I have been has a new pain in my thoracic spine, that is VERY PAINFUL! It is located around the T6/T7 area with a diameter of about 3 inches. It is warm to the touch, with minimal swelling. The pain is a pulling feeling, along with a constant stabbing sensation. A definite 9, on a pain scale of 1 to 10. My pain management doctor has preformed two Medial Branch Blocks. Neither have helped alleviate any pain. But he dismisses my constant pain and says “I bet it does hurt, I’ll see you in 6 weeks.”
I am currently a LPN, working on my RN. I’m not having the best time with my pain, as it is a constant nonstop pain. I want to fix it and move on, but I’m spinning my wheels right now. I honestly feel like a Myelogram would be the most informative procedure for me. Who could order this procedure for me? Would it need to be a specialist?

2023.06.09 03:17 LN404 /r/RedasItemShop will be going private on June 12 in protest against Reddit's API changes. Don't let Reddit kill 3rd Party Apps!

Hello /RedasItemShop
As some of you may have noticed - numerous subreddits have announced they will be 'going dark' on June 12 for 48 hours, some subreddits are taking it a step further and staying dark indefinitely. /RedasItemShop will be joining those subreddits. On June 12 /RedasItemShop will go private, which means you will not be able to access old posts, while updates and notifications on items featured in Reda's Shop will be paused until the situation is resolved.

What's going on?

A recent Reddit policy change threatens to kill many beloved third-party mobile apps, making a great many quality-of-life features not seen in the official mobile app permanently inaccessible to users.
On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill every third-party app on Reddit, from Apollo to Reddit is Fun to Narwhal to BaconReader to Boost.
Even if you're not a mobile user and don't use any of those apps, this is a step toward killing other ways of customizing Reddit, such as Reddit Enhancement Suite or the use of the old.reddit.com desktop interface. This isn't only a problem on the user level: many subreddit moderators depend on tools only available outside the official app to keep their communities on-topic and spam-free.

How does this impact RedasItemShop?

Even if you only use the official Reddit app and/or "New Reddit" on your desktop, this change still impacts all of us. I rely on third-party apps to post regular updates on Reda's Shop and to ping users when the item they wanted to be notified of appears in the game shop, in addition to regular maintenance of the sub. I, along with many others, see this change being pushed by Reddit Inc. as being anti-community and anti-user, particularly those who suffer from visual impairment.
We've all spent a lot of time on this website, both as posters and mods, and what this change will do is make it more difficult to do both, as the official Reddit app (along with "new" Reddit), while being terrible from a design standpoint, is also terrible in that it lacks effective moderation tools. A mods, we volunteer our precious time to work for this website in order to create positive discussion spaces for people — with the far superior apps offered by other Reddit users, made as a labour of love as this space was.
All the best, u/LN404

2023.06.09 03:14 GrayDomain70_ Nintendo Switch LED wont work lol

So I attempted to fix my switch led screen. I dropped it and it cracked the previous one. After installing, only the backlight shows. I've check for pins, broken pieces, used rubbing alcohol, all my ribbon cables ARE getting voltage(even the led). Dont really get why it's not working, even after watching several videos on it. Sound works, it does connect to dock and its playable on a monitor. Only problem is the console itself. Again only the backlight will show, no LED

2023.06.09 02:15 Toolatelostcause Don’t let Reddit destroy third-party applications!

What’s going on?

A recent Reddit policy change threatens to kill many beloved third-party mobile apps, making a great many quality-of-life features not seen in the official mobile app permanently inaccessible to users.
On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill every third party app on Reddit, from Apollo to Reddit is Fun to Narwhal to BaconReader.
As of June 30th, a majority of third-party mobile applications and extensions will no longer be accessible. I recommend using Reddit on a desktop browser with uBlock Origin enabled, avoid the official Reddit application.
Even if you’re not a mobile user and don’t use any of those apps, this is a step toward killing other ways of customizing Reddit, such as Reddit Enhancement Suite or the use of the old.reddit.com desktop interface.
This isn’t only a problem on the user level: many subreddit moderators depend on tools only available outside the official app to keep their communities on-topic and spam-free. Even if you do not moderate on third-party apps, this is a step in the wrong direction. It will affect any user that does not use the official Reddit App, or browsing on desktop without extensions.

What’s the plan?

On June 12th, many subreddits will be going dark to protest this policy.

Please make every effort to be as restrained, polite, reasonable and law-abiding as possible. This includes not harassing moderators of subreddits who have chosen not to take part, harassing moderators who have chosen to take part, or any Reddit employees (Administrators) involved. That last point is extremely important. 
We apologize for the inconvenience this will cause to our subscribers, It may not be relevant to N64 but it is relevant to the platform you’re seeing this on. We join in solidarity with a complete 48 hour blackout.
Overall, I hope Reddit can be more accommodating to the third party apps that help this site operate efficiently.
Thank you,

2023.06.09 02:02 AutoModerator /r/japan will be going dark on June 12 to join protests for upcoming policy changes.

What's going on?

A recent Reddit policy change threatens to kill many beloved third-party mobile apps, making a great many quality-of-life features not seen in the official mobile app permanently inaccessible to users.
On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill every third party app on Reddit, from Apollo to Reddit is Fun to Narwhal to BaconReader. On June 8, a number of third-party apps including Apollo announced they would be shutting down at the end of June.
Even if you're not a mobile user and don't use any of those apps, this is a step toward killing other ways of customizing Reddit, such as Reddit Enhancement Suite or the use of the old.reddit.com desktop interface .
This isn't only a problem on the user level: many subreddit moderators depend on tools only available outside the official app to keep their communities on-topic and spam-free.

What's the plan?

On June 12th, many subreddits will be going dark to protest this policy. Some will return after 48 hours: others will go away permanently unless the issue is adequately addressed, since many moderators aren't able to put in the work they do with the poor tools available through the official app. This isn't something any of us do lightly: we do what we do because we love Reddit, and we truly believe this change will make it impossible to keep doing what we love.
The two-day blackout isn't the goal, and it isn't the end. Should things reach the 14th with no sign of Reddit choosing to fix what they've broken, we'll use the community and buzz we've built between then and now as a tool for further action.

What can you do as a user?

How does this impact japan?

Even if you only use the official Reddit app and/or "New Reddit" on desktop, this change still impacts all of us. Reddit's prohibitively expensive API access costs will prevent easy access to content that a lot of you come to this subreddit for, as well as making our job as internet janitors more difficult, which will result in more off-topic and low quality posts clogging up /new and abusive or spam messages staying visible longer. Ultimately, Reddit's announced change will negatively impact this subreddit regardless of how you interact with it, so we encourage you to participate in the protest if you moderate any subreddits, and get loud about it with the suggestions above.
