Thursday prayers and blessings images

Hey! Going to head to Homecoming this year and wondering what a rough timeline might look like; in other words, will I have time to fly in, check in and get to the show on Friday? Or should I fly in Thursday night?
Thanks!

I (26m) am planning to cut the contact to my family once I'm financially stable and got a job after finishing university next year. I realized that my parents keep dragging me into their problems, which are caused by themselves. They damaged their health irreversibly and got very sick. I always tried to help as much as I can (going with them to the doctor, physical therapy, chemo, imaging, help recover after big surgery and incomplete paraplegia.... List goes on). It was very time and soul consuming, because I also handled Uni, getting my M.D. and working. Their health also affects their mental health, that is not always easy to endure, the whole situation teared my brothers mental health severely. They also refused some medical treatments that could be beneficial. Also they don't openly communicate about their diagnoses/treatments. For example, my siblings (also adults) don't know the poor prognosis of my father's cancer. It feels like my parents overcharge me with their health situation. After the diagnosis of my father (due to covid only my mother was allowed during the conversation with the doctor), I drove my mother home and she asked me what "palliative" means. I had to explain to her while trying to not break down. That was the first time I heard the diagnosis but I also then got told to not tell my siblings. It feels like we're tripping from one misfortune into the next. And most of them could be avoided. I'm tired of fixing their problems that were caused themselves. I don't think thats my responsibility. As a parent you can not treat yourself so poorly that you get sick and then expect your children to compensate for it. On top of that I feel like they don't respect me as an adult. My opinions don't matter. I can not talk openly with them because we have very different political and moral views. I can only tell them what they want to hear and fits into their picture of a "good son". There are also some other personal topics that I carry and I don't feel like I can open up to my parents and tell them what's going on. I sometimes feel alone with my personal problems. I don't feel like I get a lot of emotional support from them. Although they support me financially while I'm studying. Of course my medical advices are only wanted if they fit their expectations. Now I have been thinking of cutting contact. I would feel extremely guilty because it feels like betraying them and leaving them behind, and I still very deeply love them, that doesn't make it easier. But at the same time this thought feels very liberating. For once in my life I could freely do what I want, I could focus on things that are important to me and I would be free from responsibilities that are not mine. Of course I thought about talking to them about all that. Sadly my parents are always convinced that they do nothing wrong and feel like they are always on the right side. "I'm sorry" is something you very rarely hear from them. As I am "only" their son and they are the parents, I can not criticize them or give them advice, because this is ungracious/rude. I have failed discussions in the past concerning "parenting style", family dynamics, health, morals, etc. Now I'm really thinking a lot about how could I talk and discuss with them. One thing I know is that I don't want to be stuck in this situation.

Normally I would just Google the city and do some research like I do all the time but little rock is different . I've never seen such a mixed reaction that it's hard to tell really what it is like.
I'm in town for a week starting Thursday and have the potential to take a large contract here so I'm trying to feel the place out. I know it won't even come remotely close but does little rock have its own Broadway street like Nashville. Obviously we are talking magnitudes lower but just want a locals opinion on a place a single guy can meet people.
It's not an every night thing for me but if at least like the option, thanks all.

I know this sounds insane and that people have far more serious problems in life. I don't expect a direct answer to this post per se, but I really just want to say this out loud to put it out into the universe somehow, in the hope that God or someone / anyone can hear me.
If there is such thing as a soulmates and if there is such a person for me somewhere (or at least someone gentle and loving and somehow interested in me): please come into my life already! I don't expect you to be on Reddit or even near me. I just want to say this out loud as a prayer and hope that it will reach you somehow, whoever you are.
I've been rejected and suffering for 16 years within the relationship to which I gave my all. I just want someone to love who can love me back in every way: physically, mentally, and emotionally. I have so much love to give and I am neither worthless, nor unattractive.
Please, if you exist and if you are out there, come into my life. I am so heartbroken and just wish to find love before I'm incapable of loving again...

I realize I have had this negative feeling lingering subconsciously that any person I might introduce to my parents will end up with immediate negative feedback, regardless of who the person actually is. This has actually prevented me from starting potential relationships. At the same time, my parents have been right a decent amount of the time of past people whom I interacted with. I recall being complimented a single digit number of times offhandedly and generally as a child and adult, with hundreds of put downs, criticisms, insults, etc. It sucks when you have AP who always criticize, when sometimes the criticism is true and many times its not even true, that you no longer even know if you can trust what they say, because it's always negative. I wish I had normal parents who were actually objective and this would actually help instead of hinder. Imagine having kids now who aren't even sure if they can trust what you say, not because they think it is lies, but because it is just default negative. I even see this play out in other aspects of my life, where I am not sure of my own strengths due to far too much criticism, and in fact never even be highlighted on any strength at all. I even had to apologize to my parents as a child for "not being good enough". I wish I had positive parents because I realize even now my view on many things even at 28, including my own self-image, is all wrong. I did a experiment based on what I read in psychology. I went to my childhood home after many years, and examined how I felt outside it (now sold to new owners). All I felt was immense stress for a few minutes, as if I was going into a meeting to get fired or that I had made the worst decision of my life. What insanity. Should I just totally ignore and entirely disregard what they think, and just prepare myself for the likely inevitable backlash that would happen for a relationship to happen? I was also criticized for both bringing the wrong person into my life previously, and "letting" the relationship to end. Wtf?

You can do a search and find an image showing current possible locations of mystery chests but how about we use the currently completely-empty trade chat as a means of saying "Hey, I found a helltide mystery chest in T3, join my party to use it."

I recently tried using Photo Booth and the following message popped up: "Photo Booth unable to find photo library". I tried to locate an existing library, as it was one of the options, but i couldn't find it. So i had to create a new one. That resulted in me losing all of my existing photo booth images and videos.
Does anyone know any way i can get my old photo library back? I tried using time machine but it didn't work. I tried downloading recovery software but that didn't work either. It's as if the old photo library that had all of my images and videos never existed. Luckily sometime last year i backup up my photo booth content onto an external hard drive. I was able to retrieve the content of that period, but anything i recorded after the backup is gone.
Does someone know what i can do? These pictures are very very important to me and i would hate to lose them forever.

I’m determined to find a Bible that is suitable for both enjoyable study as well as for my own faith formation, since this will be my first in-depth reading of the Bible. Ruling out the rest, I’m left with comparing these two. Both are approved Catholic Bibles, but I sense that one might be better for liturgy/lectionary while the other might be more ecumenical and better for study. I recently purchased a used paperback edition of the Ignatius Bible RSV-CE (not the second edition, with indigo cover) since I want to gain a grasp at the original Ignatius Bible… My third choice would be a more dynamic translation like the NJB/RNJB but a lot of people claim those two in particular are better suited for prayer and not study.

Well. I’m back. And I got these bitches pierced. It didn’t hurt as bad this time. The first time I got my nipples pierced I was in shock for hours afterwards. But this fella was professional and he obviously knew what he was doing. He even offered me rings- which was not an option the first time I was pierced. Naturally I jumped on that opportunity. Circles are easily my favorite shape and I have always wanted rings instead of posts.
I walked to the appointment so I was drenched in sweat when I got there. Fella didn’t bat an eye, which I really appreciated. I sweat way too much for a lady. (Reason 876 why I’m “unmarriagable”….. this is my new favorite joke. My friends might be a little sick of it but I derive a sick pleasure out of reminding myself of all the reasons why no one will ever love me. Call it “keeping myself in check”, if you will). We went through formalities and then it was time to do the thing. I had to undress in front of him which panicked me to no end. But he was courteous and did not watch.
The rest of the procedure went well; I appreciated his professionalism while I sweat all over his equipment. The end result looks lovely and while I am largely unhappy with my body, I do love these nipple rings.
I think one thing I want to process is how frustrating my body is to me. At one point, he had me look in the mirror to assess my satisfaction with the jewelry and piercing. I almost cried (I know. I’ve been crying a lot lately). I really wanted to decline because seeing myself is not really something I want to do right now. Seeing myself undressed from the waist up is something I REALLY don’t want to do.
Surely enough, I looked like a pale/pink succulent pig. I briefly glanced at the piercings before getting sick at the image of my used up body. I barely heard any of his aftercare instructions as I thought about getting dressed and hiding all of my shame. When I finally did get dressed, he handed me a Reese’s cup and told me to eat it because I was in shock and adrenaline lowers blood sugar. I took the Reese’s but held it tightly in my fist. I paid for the piercings and waddled out of the building, relieved that no one has to see me naked again.
And really, that’s where the “unmarriagable” jokes are coming from. When I look at myself I don’t see anything but an old, used up hog. Recently, with my ex deciding that I’m bat shit crazy…. I….. I don’t even know how to factor that into my future. I can’t even say that I have beautiful insides because my ex has decided that I belong in the looney bin. It’s been really hard “keeping two feet on the floor” after seeing what he really thinks about me. I don’t think I’m crazy. I think I cussed him out because he fucked with my head and trashed my heart. I think that I reacted strongly to our breakups after pouring my heart and soul into a relationship that meant the world to me. Anyway, I digress. Bad mind. Bad body. Bitter. Drunk. Vindictive. Two cunts. Ice Queen. Bitch. Crazy. Fat pig. Used up. That’s me and all my fine qualities.
As I walked home I thought about how much I want to not exist anymore. I want to be small. Invisible. I am not eating as punishment for being unlovable. That will teach me. Coincidentally, I was honked at a few times and one dude swerved the car staring at me. Too bad he doesn’t know I’m a catfish. Gross. You don’t want this, sir. I promise.

Think of SEO as Someone’s Experience Onsite. Deliver what the visitouser is looking for, do it better than others, win. Even if you by chance don’t rank the fastest, you will stay hard to beat. Google lives on happy searchers, if you make them the most happy Google will find and rank you.
Ok but where do you start? After doing it wrong, almost right and now pretty good, here’s my updated take on a step-by-step guide on how to rank a new domain using topical authority and a gradual approach:

1. Identify your niche and topics: Before you start writing any content, you need to understand your domain. Identify your niche and understand what topics you can speak authoritatively on. Once you’ve determined this, you can start to explore relevant long-tail keywords. 2. Keyword research: For SEO, keywords are paramount. You need to identify which keywords are most relevant to your domain and have a decent search volume. Since you’re starting with long-tail keywords, look for keywords that are very specific and have lower competition. Tools like SEMRush, Ahrefs, or even Google’s Keyword Planner can be helpful in this regard. You start here because Google won’t trust you with the high tier keywords until you have some traffic. 3. Create high-quality content: Start writing authoritative content based on these long-tail keywords. These could be blog posts, articles, guides, or tutorials. Make sure your content is well-researched, accurate, and offers value to your readers. Hint - AI! 4. Optimize your content: Ensure your content is SEO-friendly. This means incorporating your targeted keywords naturally into the content, using proper headings, optimizing meta descriptions, and using relevant images with alt tags. Remember, your aim is to help search engines understand and rank your content, not to trick them. 5. Internal linking: Link your content together where relevant. This will not only help your users navigate through your content, but also helps search engines understand the structure and hierarchy of your website. 6. Build backlinks: Reach out to other websites in your niche for guest posting opportunities. This will help you get backlinks to your website, which are a major factor in how search engines rank websites. If you don’t have the resources - skip this and keep making killer content. 7. Analyze and refine: Use tools like Google Analytics and Google Search Console to understand how your website is performing. Look at which pages are ranking well, which keywords are driving traffic, and how users are behaving on your website. Use these insights to refine your strategy. 8. Gradually target more competitive keywords: As your website begins to rank for long-tail keywords and build its topical authority, you can start to target more competitive keywords. This is the “gradual” approach to SEO - start small and build your way up. 

Remember, SEO is not a one-time effort. It’s a continuous process of optimization, analysis, and refinement. The more time and effort you put into it, the better your results will be.
And remember, many of these steps can be done with AI, or be greatly helped by it.
I write this tutorial for the reason that I wish to find more content like this all over Reddit, be the change or what not. I’m not an industry expert, but an avid experimentalist for the sake of deeper understanding.
The internet is filled with BS and if you go out and rank with content aimed at delivering great experiences - well, we’ll all be better off!
I’ll answer any questions I might have adequate experience to answer, so ask away!
