2023.05.29 13:57 LetterGrouchy6053 OP non grata.
.
I’ve been banned from Reddit for the past three days.
I received a semi-anonymous note saying because I ‘threatened violence’ toward someone, I could not post anything for that period. I would like to point out that I never even use any form of profanity in my writing, so to think I would threaten someone is absurd.
(By the way, just how does one make a threat seem credible when the one allegedly threatened is protected by the anonymity of a silly name?)
‘Mister Gobbleygook90601, I’m going to punch you in the nose’?
I guess it all started when I posted about a preacher named Jason Graber, of The New Independent Fundamental Baptist Church in Spokane, Washington. As reported in LBGTQNation: “A hate preacher told his church’s congregation that parents who allow their children to have “a transgender surgery” should be shot in the back of the head and hung from a bridge as an example to the public.
“Any parent that would have their child, would have a transgender surgery done on them, any parent that would do that, just need to be shot in the back of the head,” Graber said. “They need to be convicted in trial and immediately shot in the back of the head. Okay, and then we can string them up above a bridge so that the public can see the consequences of that kind of wickedness.”
Did this Ministerial malcontent manufacture this malevolent message, or was it another villain? I have sometimes complained about my distaste for Brussels Sprouts; did the vegetable industry take offense? Apparently, I’ll never know.
When one is banned, you are offered the opportunity to appeal. A tiny box is offered and in three or four sentences you can state your case. But only that; beyond those few words you are cut off mid-sentence. It doesn’t matter, though, they (whomever ‘they’ are,) never answer, anyway,
Nothing, zilch, crickets!
In multiple appeals I asked who, and how, I offended. But the ‘Reddit Admin Team’ never had the courage to even try to defend their dishonorable position. If I denounced a specific hate and fascistic group they support, they should at least come out of hiding, and say so.
Now, in the past, some slithering cretin has repeatedly slandered me to Reddit, claiming I had a mental disease, and he duped the dullards on occasion after occasion into telling me where I could get counseling.
Could this spineless low life be at it again? It was then as it is now; they wouldn’t tell me anything, but easily accepted the words of a back-stabbing snake.
(Have a bridge to sell, contact Reddit.)
That’s my tale of woe. But please, double back later to see if this post disappeared and I’m banned for life for complaining about the cowards in our midst.
But be careful, you never know how deep the tentacles of ‘Big Brussels Sprouts’ can reach.

Thank you to u/Far_masterpiece_7739 for proofreading and suggesting edits
this is my first story on NoP and hopefully my first good one, excuse the dates, i just put the date i went to the fair i describe in the story and put it in the year the main story takes place, for reference this is meant to be before the bombs dropped.
Memory transcription subject:Talik, Venlil exchange program participant
Date[Standardised human time]:13.05.2136
As My exchange partner and I stepped out of his house and into his car I was quite unenthused about where we were going. We were headed to a steam fair, yes an actual real life steam fair, this is something a yotul would enjoy, and I was no mere uplift.
[2 hours later]
It took half a spheking paw to get here, ugh, at least it was a chance to listen to more of that wonderful, though oddly named, human music, of the metal genre, my current favourite song being full circle by Five finger death punch, an odd and very predatory name, but it seems the same is true for a lot of human music. As we pulled into the seemingly random field there was an old man, in what my human had told me was a hi vis jacket, making strange hand gestures at us that my human somehow understood, we drove into another field, this one full of semi orderly rows of many different types of cars, we then got out and walked through the long grass towards a green booth of some kind in front of a small also green bridge, there were two middle aged human women in the booth, after my human paid £10 we were allowed in, at first it was less than impressive to our left was a man in an oddly coloured suit and purple top hat on a large stage, in front of us was a large empty area fenced off with rope, and many older vehicles were off to our left along with some “bouncy castles'' as my human had explained to me before and several stalls selling various items.
We went over to the left, past the stage and several food stands that smelled absolutely incredible, we made our way to a large horizontal wheel that suspended five other horizontal wheels that each had three sets of seats suspended from them, my human decided this would be a good way to “break me into it”, I decided against pointing out the very predatory language, and agreed to go on, my human gave the ride operator £3 and we both got on, my human being the bigger of the two of us had to sit next to the padded wall likely to reduce the effects of inertia, after a short wait for it to fill up, the ride started to play some music and slowly spin each the top one spinning the opposite direction to the others, the ride slowly got faster and after about a minute the operator announced, over the PA of the ride,that it was “time for turbo mode” and to “squish your partner”, and so I did, I allowed myself to slide across and bump into him at speed, I hit him harder than I intended, and apologised, he said nothing and simply pushed against the centrifugal force pushing us into the padded wall and moved us both to the opposite side of the cart, and laughed saying that he barely felt my impact “of course you didn’t, you have the most messed up physiology I have ever seen” I laughed out smiling in spite of myself.
After the ride stopped we moved past a giant vertical wheel, that my human called a Ferris wheel, and a large tower with a slide running around the outside, called a helter skelter my human said, and on to what my human said was one of his favorite rides ever, the swinging boats, from where we stood they looked quite tame, something was wrong, my human was an “Adrenaline junkie” as he and several of his friends had called him, meaning two rectangular boxes with seats in them just hanging there was clearly not all there was to the first steam powered ride I had seen at this steam fair, as we ascended the stairs to get on I saw an old man in amongst many valves, levers and gauges, my human paid the man £3 and one other person was on the ride with us, we were at one end and she was at the other, she smiled at us and laughed at my concerned face after my human gave some obscure hand sign, I should really learn the human hand, face and head language, just then I noticed a sign that read “all riders do so at their own risk” I was now very worried, I didn’t say anything though as I knew that my human would never intentionally endanger me, just then an ear peircing screeching sound started, causing me to Jump in fright, we were then told to hold onto the netting behind us and put our feet on the bench in front of us, then the box we were in started to swing, and I realised what they would do, after about [20 seconds] we were swinging so far that the box, or boat as my human had corrected me several times now, went from horizontal to vertical, with every swing, my human and the other one on the ride were smiling and laughing with each other while i firmly closed my eyes, my human noticed my discomfort and spoke, as softly as he could to be heard over the sound of the rushing air, comforting me and making sure i was ok, and trying to lighten the mood with a small joke here and there, eventually I felt brave enough to open my eyes and see the open sky on the other side of the netting, then we swung back and i was looking down at the human female smiling comfortingly at me, then i felt the air rushing in my face as we swung back and i couldn't help but bleat in surprise, this caused both humans to “awww” simultaneously quickly followed by the human female saying “jinx” and them both laughing, this time i joined in too.
About a minute later we were off of the ride and i felt like the ground was moving under me for a few seconds after i got off, right next to the boats was a small booth with several confectionaries on the rear wall and several very old looking weapons on the counter, there was a human mother helping their child to aim one of them at the confectionaries and then a small pop was heard as a cork flew from the end of the weapon and i saw a small pink cuboid with a green being called a dragon(that looked like if someone recoloured an Arxur and made it more square) on it, labelled “CHEWITS” fall backwards off its shelf, the woman running the stall then collected the tube from the trough at the bottom and passed it to the child who ran off happily, with his mother in tow. My human decided to challenge me at this game, I foolishly accepted and quickly wasted £15 of my human's money to only glance at a very large tin of biscuits, my human on the other hand had hit all bar 1 shot and we now had several boxes of confectionery.
The next ride we went on was called “THE SUPER SKID CARS” according to the sign above the ride entrance. My visual translator had a hard time with that one due to the very odd font. My human said he used to love riding these with his mum when he was a child, and that he was somewhat surprised such an old machine was still in service, (frankly I was surprised any of these machines were still in service at all). My human told me that these were a precursor to “waltzers” and said that based on my reaction to the boats it may be for the best if i watched first, i agreed, as my human was about to get on, he saw one of his friends, she was called Summer and she was a very lovely person, once you got past her shell of self loathing depression and their exchange partner, Janak was her name, after the two of them had hugged, we collectively decided that the humans should go on and we would watch to decide if we wanted to join them the second time, so my human and Summer went on together, the ride worked by a large central wheel spinning with several carts facing inward being pulled around by it, with a break pedal that would slow the cart enough that it would rotate about its hinge to the point that it was facing the direction it was traveling, when you then let go of the break it would fling the cart around at high speed to face the other way and repeat, all the while a human song was being played quite loudly, the one playing while our humans were on was dancing in the moonlight, our humans were singing along, and quite loudly, until the ride sped up causing summer to scream slightly and then laugh with me,Janak and my human , as they were flung so hard that they bounced back and forth several times, this continued for a little while more with Summer squealing in delight at every swing, my human singing and laughing along all the while.
After summer got off we all walked back around to the food stalls, where Janak and I had the leaves of a lovely vegetable called a lettuce, according to Summer, slices of a purple vegetable with white stripes in rings through it, called a red onion, according to summer, this prompted me to ask why it was called a red onion if it was purple and white, both humans looked at me and laughed at that, before my human said “sometimes human names are very on the nose, and other times, not so much, don’t worry about it.”, all while laughing, our meal was then wrapped in a thin-ish flat disk of strayu, I asked how humans had strayu in large enough quantities to sell like this, so soon after meeting us, this caused summer and Janak to laugh and my human to look confused, Janak explained that the humans had many different types of strayu, called bread apparently, and that they developed it independently and much, much earlier on in their cultural evolution than us, he also said that it tasted, different, not necessarily bad, but definitely not the same. The humans had chosen a bratwurst hot dog each from a german food stall, run by the british catering company, whilst mine and Janak’s was from a greek stall, also run by the british catering company.
After eating we went up to the stalls to the right of the entrance, where, my human bought a new wallet, and I bought several human confectionaries, at the end, there were several very primitive cloth tents, with people walking around in clothes that were very clearly not of this century, and they all carried weapons, such as knives, swords and axes. My human got quite excited at this and went over to speak with a group wearing helmets, chainmail and animal skins with jewellery woven into it, they had a table full of axes and swords with shields around it and spears poking out of the ground nearby, one of them holding a Dane axe!, after a lengthy conversation with a few of them we walked away with a card containing contact information, so that my human could join their re-enactment group. The central area was now host to two humans on motorbikes performing stunts and various tricks, while an announcer spoke to the crowd, as we walked down the backside of the central ring and towards the boats again we saw several small and quite slow steam engines making their way in our general direction, after we passed them I saw a dog, a truly fearsome beast tied to the front of a colossal steam engine, with, what i assumed to be the engine’s owner nearby talking to a woman with another dog, after we passed them we decided to have a go at the plate smash stand, Janak, summer and myself did terribly but my human hit every shot bar one, then we kept on moving, Janak and I had decided to go on the “THE SUPER SKID CARS'' with our respective humans. IT WAS A HUGE SPECKING MISTAKE!!!! A few seconds in, I was clinging to my human’s arm crying, he was holding me, softly stroking my head and speaking soothingly to me. About a minute in, i was able to open my eyes and sit there, still clinging to my human, as he continued to hold me, i noticed that he too seemed to be on the verge of tears, although i suspected for a different reason, after a while i got used to the speed, and asked my human to start swinging us, he did and i screamed in delight, it was so much fun, we sung along to a song i don't know the name of and moved so fast, i could feel my stomachs shift and shake around inside my body, after the ride finished i was so high on adrenaline that i felt like i could do anything, the same could not be said for Jamak, he looked utterly petrified and on the verge of throwing up. We returned to the shooting area and this time we only spent £5 each and i missed every shot, but it was fun, my human only got a tube of CHEWITS this time, but we still had fun, we then made our way back to the ferris wheel, we all went on and once we reached the top we stopped and i thought that something was wrong, until i looked down, now i'm braver than most venlil but this height was insane, however i now knew why we had stopped, a man and his son were getting on, however as i leaned back it caused our seating pod to rock back and forth, this made me freeze in terror as i pictured us falling and going splat on the ground below, and then we were moving again, and then we were on the ground, but we were still moving and then we were high in the air again, after this cycle of up and down had repeated another three times we finally got off, my whole body quivering with the after effects of terror, Jamak was clinging onto Summer’s arm and refused to let go as she lugged him around.
We made our way back to the boats and we all decided to go on, all except Jamak of course, at least he had let go of summer by now, this time i kept my eyes open the whole time and several of the other humans on board were screaming in delight, it was hilarious, my human, summer and i were all laughing, and as the boat slowed down, my human let go of the netting and put his feet back down, then the operator told him to put them back up and to keep holding on, so he put his hands up to hold on again and as he went to put his feet back up, the boat sped up again leading to my human hanging vertically and as we came back down, summer an i tried to hold him in place and check to see if he was ok, but he just wouldn't stop laughing, after the ride had stopped and we had gotten off, he finally stopped, and loudly exclaimed “DID YOU SEE THAT, IT WAS FUCKING AWESOME, HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!” this prompted summer to loudly exclaim “suicidal cunt, your going to give me a heart attack one of these days!”, this caused him to chuckle again and say “you’re one to talk aren’t you? And I'm way more likely to have a heart attack than you, genetic disorders, remember?”This went on until we reached the car parking field, where we went our separate ways, i was buzzing the whole way home as we listened to even more music and chatted, once we arrived home my tiredness hit me like a stampeding mazic and i fell face first onto the sofa.
When I woke up my human had bought me a glass of apple juice and was sitting next to me with one of his dogs on his lap, the large German shepherd Labrador cross breed, named Leela. She was huffing happily as my human rubbed her stomach. It had taken quite a while to warm up to the large and loud beast, but now she was a brilliant addition to my little herd and I can't imagine living without her here.
“Thank you, for the day out, it was wonderful, and I’m sorry for the way I acted about it this morning.”
“That’s fine, I had fun, and it seems you did too, that’s all that matters, that we both had fun.”
“You're the best friend a venlil could ask for, you know that right? I love spending time with you Oscar, even if you don’t love me, just know that I love you…. sorry, I shouldn’t have said that.”
“Hey, hey” Oscar said, softly, as I started to cry. “Just because I’m aromantic, doesn’t mean I can’t feel love, just not romance, I still love you, just platonically, now come and give me a hug, you silly sheep!” He said happily.
“I'm not a sheep, you stupid ape!” I responded jokingly, feigning indignation.
“I love you oscar”
“I love you too, Talik, now let’s get some dinner, we have to go back to work tomorrow.” and with that he stood up, finished his apple juice and walked into the kitchen.

We returned to the shooting area and this time we only spent £5 each and i missed every shot, but it was fun, my human only got a tube of CHEWITS this time, but we still had fun, we then made our way back to the ferris wheel, we all went on and once we reached the top we stopped and i thought that something was wrong, until i looked down, now i'm braver than most venlil but this height was insane, however i now knew why we had stopped, a man and his son were getting on, however as i leaned back it caused our seating pod to rock back and forth, this made me freeze in terror as i pictured us falling and going splat on the ground below, and then we were moving again, and then we were on the ground, but we were still moving and then we were high in the air again, after this cycle of up and down had repeated another three times we finally got off, my whole body quivering with the after effects of terror, Jamak was clinging onto Summer’s arm and refused to let go as she lugged him around.
We made our way back to the boats and we all decided to go on, all except Jamak of course, at least he had let go of summer by now, this time i kept my eyes open the whole time and several of the other humans on board were screaming in delight, it was hilarious, my human, summer and i were all laughing, and as the boat slowed down, my human let go of the netting and put his feet back down, then the operator told him to put them back up and to keep holding on, so he put his hands up to hold on again and as he went to put his feet back up, the boat sped up again leading to my human hanging vertically and as we came back down, summer an i tried to hold him in place and check to see if he was ok, but he just wouldn't stop laughing, after the ride had stopped and we had gotten off, he finally stopped, and loudly exclaimed “DID YOU SEE THAT, IT WAS FUCKING AWESOME, HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!” this prompted summer to loudly exclaim “suicidal cunt, your going to give me a heart attack one of these days!”, this caused him to chuckle again and say “you’re one to talk aren’t you? And I'm way more likely to have a heart attack than you, genetic disorders, remember?”This went on until we reached the car parking field, where we went our separate ways, i was buzzing the whole way home as we listened to even more music and chatted, once we arrived home my tiredness hit me like a stampeding mazic and i fell face first onto the sofa.
When I woke up my human had bought me a glass of apple juice and was sitting next to me with one of his dogs on his lap, the large German shepherd Labrador cross breed, named Leela. She was huffing happily as my human rubbed her stomach. It had taken quite a while to warm up to the large and loud beast, but now she was a brilliant addition to my little herd and I can't imagine living without her here.
“Thank you, for the day out, it was wonderful, and I’m sorry for the way I acted about it this morning.”
“That’s fine, I had fun, and it seems you did too, that’s all that matters, that we both had fun.”
“You're the best friend a venlil could ask for, you know that right? I love spending time with you Oscar, even if you don’t love me, just know that I love you…. sorry, I shouldn’t have said that.”
“Hey, hey” Oscar said, softly, as I started to cry. “Just because I’m aromantic, doesn’t mean I can’t feel love, just not romance, I still love you, just platonically, now come and give me a hug, you silly sheep!” He said happily.
“I'm not a sheep, you stupid ape!” I responded jokingly, feigning indignation.
“I love you oscar”
“I love you too, Talik, now let’s get some dinner, we have to go back to work tomorrow.” and with that he stood up, finished his apple juice and walked into the kitchen.

I’ve been banned from Reddit for the past three days.
I received a semi-anonymous note saying because I ‘threatened violence’ toward someone, I could not post anything for that period. I would like to point out that I never even use any form of profanity in my writing, so to think I would threaten someone is absurd.
(By the way, just how does one make a threat seem credible when the one allegedly threatened is protected by the anonymity of a silly name?)
‘Mister Gobbleygook90601, I’m going to punch you in the nose’?
I guess it all started when I posted about a preacher named Jason Graber, of The New Independent Fundamental Baptist Church in Spokane, Washington. As reported in LBGTQNation: “A hate preacher told his church’s congregation that parents who allow their children to have “a transgender surgery” should be shot in the back of the head and hung from a bridge as an example to the public.
“Any parent that would have their child, would have a transgender surgery done on them, any parent that would do that, just need to be shot in the back of the head,” Graber said. “They need to be convicted in trial and immediately shot in the back of the head. Okay, and then we can string them up above a bridge so that the public can see the consequences of that kind of wickedness.”
Did this Ministerial malcontent manufacture this malevolent message, or was it another villain? I have sometimes complained about my distaste for Brussels Sprouts; did the vegetable industry take offense? Apparently, I’ll never know.
When one is banned, you are offered the opportunity to appeal. A tiny box is offered and in three or four sentences you can state your case. But only that; beyond those few words you are cut off mid-sentence. It doesn’t matter, though, they (whomever ‘they’ are,) never answer, anyway,
Nothing, zilch, crickets!
In multiple appeals I asked who, and how, I offended. But the ‘Reddit Admin Team’ never had the courage to even try to defend their dishonorable position. If I denounced a specific hate and fascistic group they support, they should at least come out of hiding, and say so.
Now, in the past, some slithering cretin has repeatedly slandered me to Reddit, claiming I had a mental disease, and he duped the dullards on occasion after occasion into telling me where I could get counseling.
Could this spineless low life be at it again? It was then as it is now; they wouldn’t tell me anything, but easily accepted the words of a back-stabbing snake.
(Have a bridge to sell, contact Reddit.)
That’s my tale of woe. But please, double back later to see if this post disappeared and I’m banned for life for complaining about the cowards in our midst.
But be careful, you never know how deep the tentacles of ‘Big Brussels Sprouts’ can reach.

2023.05.29 13:57 WindFanWater Help: Random water drops from evaporator coil into air induct
Hello everyone,
I have an issue that is bothering me and I am hoping someone can help me. I am having water drops from my evaporator coil come down inside the air intake box randomly. I am saying randomly because it does not always do this and the water dripping is not in one single spot. Also it is not a lot of water however it is enough that I noticed it once it happened one day.
Background:
2021 had a whole system replacement of my A/C with a Trane
I live in central Florida
The air filter instead is located on the air intake vent instead of under the the opening of the evaporator coils on this model. I have never had an ac designed like this but was told at the time of installation it will allow the changing of the filter to be easier.
System was service a few months ago and a diagnostics done. (No clogged drains, the water is dripping outside fine, the coils are not frozen, no visual issues were found.)
The house is cooling without any problems.
There are no water leaks that can be seen around the bottom of the unit itself.
Technician feedback: The coolant looked low about a pound. Fan may need to be increased in power (he was not able to make the adjustment while there). Suggest a leak test be done which I have been putting off just due to the funds.
In the mean while I have put puppy pads down on the bottom of the intake box and weighed them down for when the random water drops fall they do not wet the installation in the intake vent.
I also timed the how long the fan ran after the outside unit shut down and it was approx. a minute.
Can anyone provide me with any insight to this issue. My brother and I have been talking and he is wondering if it is a fan timing issue (not running long enough after the outside unit stops to pull all the water into the drain pan.) Our second guess is it is not a ac issue but normal humidity condensation that is usually not seen. Due to the location of the filter being typically under the coils and not like this unit which is on the vent itself. Again this does not happen every time the ac is running and is more like to happen during high humidity days I have notice.
Thank you for your time and feedback.

2023.05.29 13:56 streetrider_sydney M4A Anyone working in the CBD keen to find lunch buddies?
My work is in the CBD and I find lunchtimes utterly boring. Due to the nature of my job, I sort of don't hang out with my colleagues much for lunch. Super keen to form a friendship (or two) with someone who feels likewise, preferably long term.
Myself, I am nerdish, like outdoors, dogs, motorbikes and speed in general. A fan of boxing and mma but not a fan of AFL. Fairly easygoing but I have been described as an introvert and softspoken. I like to think I am considerate and a decent human being. Drop me a PM to chat if that strikes a chord, or a few.

2023.05.29 13:56 BlazeFire3701 Where to Get Knowledgable Channel Help
And don't just tell me here.
I've been working on a channel for the past couple years, achieving 2,600 subs and getting monetized, but even so, things haven't gone nearly as smoothly as I'd hoped, and doing this on my own, I've felt basically clueless. I've been taking the whole "throw ideas against a wall and see what sticks" approach, but everything I try is a shot in the dark, and so far, nothing's quite sticking. My other problem is that the dumb Shorts I make, which only take an hour or so and are the one thing that has kinda stuck, tend to do far better than the actual quality videos I put full days of work into, which I find incredibly discouraging.
So why not just stick to the daily Shorts? Well for one, they haven't proven to be the most reliable in terms of long-term growth. They started out strong last summer, and were my channel's first major breakthrough, getting 3-5k views each, and sometimes way more. But their performance is all over the place, and they sometimes get literally zero views (forcing me to reupload them later, although I haven't noticed this as much anymore), not to mention the fact that the little sub-genre I've been making Shorts of has fallen off since I started, as I now average only 1-2k views on each. Additionally, instead of them doing better and better with every subsequent success, each time, I'm just hoping to get lucky, which isn't really how channel growth is supposed to go. They were a good source of subscribers too, with the 106 Shorts I've done netting me over 1,000, but again, the pace was steady, at best, and decreased over time. Oh, and they only tend to pull good numbers if I do a single one each day at 6 AM ET, no other times I've tried can compare. While making them has certainly served my channel better than if I hadn't, I don't want my channel to forever be stuck at this trot when changing my strategy could turn that into a gallop.
The other issue with them is that I'm not content with my channel being nothing more than a Shorts factory. No one wants their channel to be known as simply being a meme farm, and I'm no different. Pumping these out hasn't helped me build a community, sustain much of an audience, or let my personality shine through (giving my viewers no sense of who I am, or anything to relate to). If seeing 1,000 views and my sub count go up by 5-10 per day were enough, I wouldn't be complaining, but I know I could do so much more if I wanted to.
What I don't know though is how. When it comes to longer vids, I've hardly gotten anywhere, and nothing I've done has been even remotely worth the effort (with what the Shorts can pull in comparison just being a slap in the face).
What I'm after, and the whole point in making this thread, is a person or place to get real advice and tutelage on how to grow a channel. I'm not just talking about general know-how, like using VidIQ and/or TubeBuddy, understanding CTR and audience retention, or optimizing my branding (SEO, thumbnails, etc.), but rather getting personalized help specifically tailored toward me and my channel, from someone who knows the ins and outs of the platform, and ideally has a significant following of their own to show for it.
Like, there's this one channel I stumbled upon for instance named Robert Benjamin, who makes YouTube growth guides, and while a lot of what he says is accurate, the way he markets his videos can be extremely deceptive, and his demeanor comes off as highly disingenuous. I'm mentioning him as an example because he has a channel mentoring program, which is exactly what I want, but there's no way I'd be willing to pay hundreds to get "help" from a sleazebag like that. So many of these "YouTube/social media gurus" are either idiots, con artists, or both. But when I first made my channel, along with my first vid, I got some pointers from a guy named Blaines, who had a few hundred thousand subs at the time (and has gotten much bigger since), so it's not like what I'm trying to find isn't out there if you know where to look.
I've also explored Fiverr gigs for social media promotion and whatnot, but honestly, those are just as bad as the fake gurus, especially the cheaper ones. While they may "work" a little, they normally use questionable methods to go about it, such as viewbotting, or putting your vids in a social media feed that isn't related to your channel where they aren't likely to get many clicks. Plus you have to constantly be paying for those to power your channel, and they aren't helping you to get anywhere on your own, and that's all I really want-for my channel to be able to grow its own pair of legs it can run with.
So how can I find my footing, how can I find something I can roll with for the long run, and who can show me the way?

2023.05.29 13:55 hellaanxiousgemini Am I dating an abuser?
Last night my girlfriend (30F) and I (23F) were watching movies. I noticed she was being distant a bit and then out of nowhere she starts hitting and tapping a plastic bottle near my ear, trying to be noisy to irritate me. She even asked me “Am I getting on your nerves?” at first I thought maybe she was being playful so I play along and try to get the bottle from her. Eventually I just left it alone, pretended it didn’t bother me, and I guess she got bored.
Shortly after that, she she sits on the couch with me. I had a blanket on me because I was cold and then out of nowhere she snatched the blanket off of me and put it on to her. I asked her why she did that and that I was cold and tried to get it back from her. When I asked for it back she said no with an attitude, even after I was pleading with her and telling her that I was cold. I then start to get upset and tell her that was uncalled for, even a bit mean and that she could at least share the blanket. She still didn’t let up and kept the blanket. I kept asking for it because I was shocked that out of nowhere she did that and wouldn’t give it back without explanation, just said “because I don’t want to”
We got into an argument about that because I didn’t like that she did that and even after everything I still didn’t get the blanket nor an apology. I stormed into the bedroom still upset and questioning if maybe I was overreacting. I came back out to address the situation because it was something that was still bothering me and then she tells me “It’s just a blanket” as if I WAS overreacting. No matter how much I explained how mean it was that she did that to me she seemed cold and un phased. She even gave me a half ass “I’m sorry” and “I don’t know what else you want me to say” because I kept pressing the issue and I guess she got annoyed. It didn’t seem sincere so I kept trying to discuss how it made me feel and trying to understand why she thought that was okay. She shut down even more, said she was done talking, and insisted we talk about it the following day. Today.
Am I overreacting or was this behavior abusive?

Shortly after that, she she sits on the couch with me. I had a blanket on me because I was cold and then out of nowhere she snatched the blanket off of me and put it on to her. I asked her why she did that and that I was cold and tried to get it back from her. When I asked for it back she said no with an attitude, even after I was pleading with her and telling her that I was cold. I then start to get upset and tell her that was uncalled for, even a bit mean and that she could at least share the blanket. She still didn’t let up and kept the blanket. I kept asking for it because I was shocked that out of nowhere she did that and wouldn’t give it back without explanation, just said “because I don’t want to”
We got into an argument about that because I didn’t like that she did that and even after everything I still didn’t get the blanket nor an apology. I stormed into the bedroom still upset and questioning if maybe I was overreacting. I came back out to address the situation because it was something that was still bothering me and then she tells me “It’s just a blanket” as if I WAS overreacting. No matter how much I explained how mean it was that she did that to me she seemed cold and un phased. She even gave me a half ass “I’m sorry” and “I don’t know what else you want me to say” because I kept pressing the issue and I guess she got annoyed.

I’ve been banned from Reddit for the past three days.
I received a semi-anonymous note saying because I ‘threatened violence’ toward someone, I could not post anything for that period. I would like to point out that I never even use any form of profanity in my writing, so to think I would threaten someone is absurd.
(By the way, just how does one make a threat seem credible when the one allegedly threatened is protected by the anonymity of a silly name?)
‘Mister Gobbleygook90601, I’m going to punch you in the nose’?
I guess it all started when I posted about a preacher named Jason Graber, of The New Independent Fundamental Baptist Church in Spokane, Washington. As reported in LBGTQNation: “A hate preacher told his church’s congregation that parents who allow their children to have “a transgender surgery” should be shot in the back of the head and hung from a bridge as an example to the public.
“Any parent that would have their child, would have a transgender surgery done on them, any parent that would do that, just need to be shot in the back of the head,” Graber said. “They need to be convicted in trial and immediately shot in the back of the head. Okay, and then we can string them up above a bridge so that the public can see the consequences of that kind of wickedness.”
Did this Ministerial malcontent manufacture this malevolent message, or was it another villain? I have sometimes complained about my distaste for Brussels Sprouts; did the vegetable industry take offense? Apparently, I’ll never know.
When one is banned, you are offered the opportunity to appeal. A tiny box is offered and in three or four sentences you can state your case. But only that; beyond those few words you are cut off mid-sentence. It doesn’t matter, though, they (whomever ‘they’ are,) never answer, anyway,
Nothing, zilch, crickets!
In multiple appeals I asked who, and how, I offended. But the ‘Reddit Admin Team’ never had the courage to even try to defend their dishonorable position. If I denounced a specific hate and fascistic group they support, they should at least come out of hiding, and say so.
Now, in the past, some slithering cretin has repeatedly slandered me to Reddit, claiming I had a mental disease, and he duped the dullards on occasion after occasion into telling me where I could get counseling.
Could this spineless low life be at it again? It was then as it is now; they wouldn’t tell me anything, but easily accepted the words of a back-stabbing snake.
(Have a bridge to sell, contact Reddit.)
That’s my tale of woe. But please, double back later to see if this post disappeared and I’m banned for life for complaining about the cowards in our midst.
But be careful, you never know how deep the tentacles of ‘Big Brussels Sprouts’ can reach.

2023.05.29 13:54 hatrickpatrick Are there any good in-depth and comprehensive articles to read about "washout" filter automation techniques during build ups?
I've come a long way since I started making my own EDM songs, but there's one area in which I'm quite lacking and would love to read an in-depth tutorial - filter automation during buildups. A lot of my favourite EDM tracks - I'll take Avicii's Waiting For Love and Wake Me Up as two extremely well known examples - have buildup sections that are very similar to mine in melody and construction.
However, one thing that really escapes me is how to do a proper washout - what kind of filter to use (HP vs BP), what ranges to use, and whether to use it on the entire master track or on a bus which omits some of the tracks. As the moment, I tend to have a HP filter kick in and sweep from 0 to 100% intensity on the master track during the last 4 bars of a buildup around the time my white noise filter sweep reaches its highest, and while this sounds good, it's nowhere near the kind of absolutely epic washout effect I hear in my favourite songs which to my ear seems to possible be using a band pass with a frequency range which itself widens as the center frequency rises, or something to that effect; and furthermore I feel like rather than the frequencies all coming back in at the moment of drop, some of the big hits instead have the filter open up again a moment before the buildup ends - essentially, it's obviously more complicated than anything I'm doing and I'd love to get a proper handle on it.
Unfortunately, articles about this tend to assume one already knows these fundamentals and thus they'll just have a sentence or two saying "automate a filter during the build up", but alas I need a lot more hand holding at present to get this right 😂
Can anyone point me to a good, in-depth article on what kind of effects are recommended and more importantly, which tracks to use them on and which tracks to omit?
I can't help feeling that my "HP on the master, slowly closing and cutting out the lower frequencies before dropping out in the break before the drop)" technique is the EDM producer's equivalent of learning to play Smoke On The Water using just the low E string rather than the chords, and calling one's self a guitarist 😂

2023.05.29 13:53 Lotasar How to help my (M22) gf (F21) on her road to lose flat stomach and get her confidence back
Okay so basically, before meeting my girlfriend, she was on her road to lose weight by herself. She went from 120kg to 85kg right now in a barely 7 months (that's impressive and I'm proud of her INSANE mentality).
But here's the thing : she wants to hit the 70kg (which is clearly acceptable for a girl of his tall : 1m65) but unfortunately she still has remaining skin from her dark ages "obesity".
I'm helping her to do workout to lose that flat skin but I'm not a professional in fitness and those kind of stuff (all I do is looking for workout exercices and mix them into a "program").
Please, anyone with same experiences or even professional advice can help me (and therefore her) to establish a sort of "program" (nutritional and workout) to get a "tone" core ?
I'm well aware that it'll be nearly impossible to get the mannequin body (due basically to the shape of her body) but eliminate this remaining flat stomach skin will help her a lot!
Thanks for reading and have a nice day !

2023.05.29 13:52 sparkletigerfrog Apparently I don’t even understand my family
I haven’t felt emotionally close to my parents for years. I don’t remember when I have. When I moved out I was glad to be away from the stressful feeling of that home. Our relationship improved with distance but we’re not the kind of family that’s close. They’re my parents but that’s it. OR SO I THOUGHT. My mum had a stroke a few weeks ago so I had to visit. I’m glad I did but really struggled being away from my family (husband and children). Like really struggled as in a near meltdown for the entire drive and going on autopilot for the majority of the trip just to get through it. But during the visit I’m told by my dad that they love me as much as I love my kids. Which feels deeply uncomfortable - and definitely outside of my parameters of understanding of the relationship. And now 3 weeks later he’s putting heavy pressure for me to visit again. He seems shocked I’m not focused on maximising time with my mum and also completely doesn’t understand how hard it is for me to be away from my people. It’s a long drive fwiw.
It seems like maybe from their perspective we’re the kind of family that ‘obviously’ loves each other despite not saying it, and who are always there for each other. But that’s not how I’ve grown up understanding it! From my pov we’re not at all emotionally close. Even now I’m not being included in things like the family meeting about my mum’s future discharge.
This is just breaking me emotionally and I don’t know how to handle it. I made my peace with my dysfunctional family years ago. But now it turns out that maybe I’m just a bad daughter and have been for years, because apparently I don’t pick up on social cues even in my own family.
I really don’t know what to think. I realise I do sound like a horrible person. I’m just overwhelmed, it feels like one of the very basic things I understand is being pulled out from under me and I’m trying to navigate a totally different world that I’m entirely uncomfortable with.

2023.05.29 13:52 AJ_Mcneill 27001 Lead Auditor Training & Certification
Hi guys,
I am looking for some advice on how to get certified in the UK (via the cheapest method).
Bit of background... I am 40 and towards the end of a years career break. I have worked in IT all my life (last role was IT manager) and want to transition to 27001 lead audit role.
I have just passed the CISA exam and now want to get the 27001 LA boxed off.
I can't see a way of getting the exam done without doing (spending £££) on a 5-day course (£2000 approx).
Is there no way for me to do a cheap course (Udemy) and book an exam, without using a training provider?
Thanks all,
AJ

2023.05.29 13:52 thirdkingdom1 OSR News Roundup for May 29th, 2023
Welcome to the last Monday in May. Just as a head's-up, observant readers will notice some changes to the website in coming month. I'm in the process of opening a brick and mortar FLGS, and rather than build a new website (with all the same inventory) I will be merging the two. The goal is to have the soft opening at the beginning of July, so if you're near or passing through Charlottesville, Virginia, I'd love for you to stop by and check it out. With that out of the way, let's see what's in store for us today, shall we? *Wet Ink Games, the same folks that brought us the recently released The Cess and the Citadel, is funding Never Going Home: The Beginning and the End, a sourcebook for Never Going Home, their game of eldritch horror in the trenches of WWI. *Levi Combs of Planet X Games is raising funds for Chainsaw Wizards, Hecatomb Creeps, and other Ungodly Bastards, a collection of system neutral, villainous NPCs. *Comic Crawl Classics is a hack of Dungeon Crawl Classics designed to emulate the superhero genre. *I've just started a Kickstarter to raise funds for an offset, omnibus edition that combines A Guide the Thieves' Guilds, Filling in the Blanks, and Into the Wild into a single, coherent volume. *HungryClone has released A World of Salt on itch, set in a city where Hell is real, demons exist, and mortals do whatever they need to gain power. *Happy Cthonian has released an all-dice character generator on itch. It looks like a cute little system to create slightly whimsical characters and NPCs. *I've recently started to carry the Trophy series of games, and just now saw there's a supplement set of rules for them: Trophy Golf, available on itch, allows you to add, um, golf to your game. The art that I have seen is strangely compelling! *My Mother's Kitchen is a solo journaling game that funded as part of ZiMo23, and it's now available on itch. *Outliers is a solo journaling game by Sam Leigh that's also up on itch. The player takes on the role of a research assistant trying to do their job under absurd circumstances. *I thought that this looked pretty interesting: True Ruins Procedure is a set of rules for adding randomness to hexcrawl-style games. There's a lot of stuff out there that do similar things, but this PWYW product seems to take it in different directions. *There's a new 5e/BX clone out there: 5B is written to be compatible with 5th edition, but brings the feel of old-school gaming to new-school play. *TLHP Games has released Adventure Games Creation for OSR Games, a guide to building adventures. *Fichte's Rumors of Lost Treasures, by Philip Reed, is now live on Drivethru. *Cthonstone Games has released Between Two Worlds: Essential Enemies Vol. 4, which brings abominations from beyond the stars and between the dimensions in old-school play. *Mausritter is a great hearth-style game, and Kiwi Acres is a new hexcrawl setting written for that system. *I'm seeing a lot of titles coming out for Shadowdark, and now Christopher Wade has released an InDesign template that mimics the Shadowdark layout style. *The team of Markus Linderum and Tony Vasinda has released Down We Go: Infinite, the full version of the Down We Go game. *I'm not linking to all of them, but Necrotic Gnome has just released Foundry VTT versions of most of their official products. *James Spahn and Gallant Knight Games has release The Hero's Journey 2e Zine Collection. *Bloat Games has released Scorched!, a post-apocalyptic game using their Survive This! system that asks the question: what if Luke never left Tatooine. *I've added a number of new titles to the webstore, including the eagerly anticipated Black Sword Hack, a selection of new and used rpgs, and even some dice!

2023.05.29 13:52 LetterGrouchy6053 Op non grata.
.
I’ve been banned from Reddit for the past three days.
I received a semi-anonymous note saying because I ‘threatened violence’ toward someone, I could not post anything for that period. I would like to point out that I never even use any form of profanity in my writing, so to think I would threaten someone is absurd.
(By the way, just how does one make a threat seem credible when the one allegedly threatened is protected by the anonymity of a silly name?)
‘Mister Gobbleygook90601, I’m going to punch you in the nose’?
I guess it all started when I posted about a preacher named Jason Graber, of The New Independent Fundamental Baptist Church in Spokane, Washington. As reported in LBGTQNation: “A hate preacher told his church’s congregation that parents who allow their children to have “a transgender surgery” should be shot in the back of the head and hung from a bridge as an example to the public.
“Any parent that would have their child, would have a transgender surgery done on them, any parent that would do that, just need to be shot in the back of the head,” Graber said. “They need to be convicted in trial and immediately shot in the back of the head. Okay, and then we can string them up above a bridge so that the public can see the consequences of that kind of wickedness.”
Did this Ministerial malcontent manufacture this malevolent message, or was it another villain? I have sometimes complained about my distaste for Brussels Sprouts; did the vegetable industry take offense? Apparently, I’ll never know.
When one is banned, you are offered the opportunity to appeal. A tiny box is offered and in three or four sentences you can state your case. But only that; beyond those few words you are cut off mid-sentence. It doesn’t matter, though, they (whomever ‘they’ are,) never answer, anyway,
Nothing, zilch, crickets!
In multiple appeals I asked who, and how, I offended. But the ‘Reddit Admin Team’ never had the courage to even try to defend their dishonorable position. If I denounced a specific hate and fascistic group they support, they should at least come out of hiding, and say so.
Now, in the past, some slithering cretin has repeatedly slandered me to Reddit, claiming I had a mental disease, and he duped the dullards on occasion after occasion into telling me where I could get counseling.
Could this spineless low life be at it again? It was then as it is now; they wouldn’t tell me anything, but easily accepted the words of a back-stabbing snake.
(Have a bridge to sell, contact Reddit.)
That’s my tale of woe. But please, double back later to see if this post disappeared and I’m banned for life for complaining about the cowards in our midst.
But be careful, you never know how deep the tentacles of ‘Big Brussels Sprouts’ can reach.

2023.05.29 13:51 ConsequenceExisting6 It just goes to show...
'The only people that dont like change are old people and people that are mentally disabled'
Honestly, I was 100% certain they wouldnt release FTE. It seemed like an utter shit show and with the hate it got from the keyboard warriors (I said very few positive things myself). Surely this is the worst decision they made??
Wrong.
Yes it's got it's got plenty of bugs, but none of them seem too game breaking, just annoying. And adding the new UI with its bugs made it a double buggy mess (charmed pets- arghhh) . But overall the new sever and the rules / FTE has been a huge success for me.
If I had a krono for everytime I heard someone moan about 6 boxers stealing nameds... (I would be able to afford 6 PCs). And that's what this server has done, not eradicated boxers, because that's not possible but put everyone on a level playing field with contested mobs.
Yesterday had a box army turn up to steal my frenzy spawn, but ofcourse I had it on timer. He sat down around surrounded it with his 4 mage pets. He probably thought 'heh this would work'.
No, he had no experience of the FTE because none of his spawns have been contested while levelling (fighting for spiders / crocs / orcs in open world). So, when frenzy spawned I explained to my group how we were going to insure it came to us and not him, everyone was worried. Tbh my heart was beating it was a big rush- I kinda liked it.
And ofcourse I got the mob, it didnt drop FBSS, but the boxer got up and left the camp.
Victory! Never have I ever beat a box army.
I was wrong to judge so soon, I kinda like FTE.
Good luck out there!
