2023.05.28 16:07 _batteryacid925 Dissent within BJP is currently subdued by the Central Govt's success in having control over public opinion and winning elections. What will happen once Modi steps down?
I have seen how there are a lot of instances when there are quite polarising decisions by BJP leadership where certain section of BJP members would not wish to comply normally. Something like Bilkis Bano case, WFI case, Hijab row in Karnataka, certain union ministers trying to control the ticket distribution in state units, etc.
Now, if you are a politician it is usually money and power over ideology. No suprises there, they pump in a lot of money and they have their own goals. But a lot of topics are quite extreme in nature and would create divides. BJP has a good control over the narrative on many issues. If BJP takes certain stances a huge number of people rally behind that stance. Many of these people purely do it out of love for Modi, its very evident on Twitter. BJP may not always be doing things in interest of Hindus, but they get away with it easily.
The day Modi and Shah duo have to step down BJP will he divided. BJP is already losing state elections, whatever may the reason be. HP, Karnataka, etc. In other states reduced to a partner in an alliance. Its becoming quite clear that dissent is silenced merely by members agreeing that its better to get along than speak up. The day Modi steps down the party will be divided and very likely fall apart too.

2023.05.28 16:07 throwaway1003333 Finasteride ( generic proscar 5 mg form) pill splitting
Hello, Finasteride is a commonly prescribed medication for MPB. It comes in 1 mg pill format and 5 mg pill format. 1mg is the dose to treat hair loss, but the 5mg pills are around 80% cheaper. For this reason, many dermatologists often prescribe 5 mg pills and advice their patients to split them into fourths. However, some have argued that this will disrupt the drug’s absorption as its coating is compromised. I haven’t found much information on the coatings for these pills in general, other than them being present in order to inhibit skin absorption of the drug, not necessarily for any specified release, protective measure for the drug itself. Is it okay to cut the 5mg Finasteride pills without compromising the tablet’s efficacy?

2023.05.28 16:06 millionreasons13 Every year and day gets worse
I (21 m) feel like every year that passes is an endless spiral of more sadness and more anxiety that you just can't go up. I make myself promises and give motivation but it leads me nowhere. For whole day all I do is listening music, watching YouTube and working. No friends, no partner. I haven't go out for a movie or dinner or anything social since 5-6 years. My only friends made other friends and they go outside, have fun and living their youth.
I hate when I saw people functioning correctly while I feel like I'm trapped with anxiety and depression everyday. I have dreams and goals but I'm losing my faith in anything. If there was a button that quickly and painlessly ends everything, I would press that immediately. Im tired of overthinking. Im tired of not living while im living. I hate my body, I hate the life that I'm given in this country, I hate inequality. I hate that I've ruined and keep ruining the potenital good in everything. I'm striving for communication, socialising, affection, love.
I don't know how to end this spiral. If you went through something similar to this and suceed to leave, please tell me how...

2023.05.28 16:06 script0116 Age 24,Male, India, My dog bite me almost 5 or 6 or maybe 7 years ago
The dog was small. Like young. And I don't even remember if it was his teeth or nails which kind of scratched my skin in my right leg. Below calves. It was minor scratch. Nothing painful but one could see a small red line. I ignored it. Eventually the dog didn't survive ,and died very early. As far as I can remember , the dead body was secreting some foul smelling liquid from the anus.
Anyway ,today I was reading about zoonotic diseases. And today I came to know that rabies has no cure ,once the virus reaches the brain. It was shocking as I heard that people with dog bites get rabies-vaccines and get cured.
My question is ,can I be infected? As for symptoms ,there's no symptoms. I've chronic GERD ,but otherwise no symptoms like fear of water etc. Also its been so long. At least 5-6 years. But I ve, also read that site of exposure is also important in deciding how much time it will take you to show first symptoms. Should I go take the vaccine?

2023.05.28 16:06 kingBigDawg Q-Line should NOT be expanded
The q-line is a streetcar. It is “supposed” to be high frequency in high density (population and amenity dense) areas. Expanding it further craters its effectiveness. Between grand boulevard and 8 mile is mostly extremely low density population and almost 0 amenities. The q-line’s length is exactly as long as it should be, connecting key amenities and dense neighborhoods. The stops are every couple blocks, as they should be for a streetcar. Extending this type of system to Pontiac, as many call for, is absurd. It would take hours to get downtown due to stop frequency and intersections, since it is a system that integrates with auto and pedestrian street infrastructure (even as a dedicated lane) and it would be very expensive.
People are asking for a street car to act like the Chicago metra (much larger cars, stops in each town, not every block, not combined with street, separated rail). One only has to look to Toronto for an example of a successful q line style implementation. Look at the transit map of greater downtown Toronto. Most of the streetcars (which look identical to the q line, probably same manufacturer), extend around 3-4 miles. Look to Queens Quay at how they manage the road space, dedicated separated streetcar lanes (not middle run). The street cars form a grid.
What people should be asking for is not expansion but dedicated lane for reliable and faster use. Expansion into low density areas would be a waste of time and money. That requires a different type of system. For metro area connection, the existing track that Amtrak is much more fitting as a Woodward corridor commuter rail (Pontiac-Troy-RO-Ferndale-Midtown-MI central). Higher capacity capability, fewer stops bc traveling longer distance, separated from street.
With dedicated lanes the q-line streetcar will be perfect for what it is, a high frequency streetcar system that connects population dense and amenity rich areas. Expanding it to act as a pseudo commuter rail is attempting to put a square peg into a round hole.

2023.05.28 16:06 Kit_Marlow Summer School and Edgenuity, or, WTH Am I Gonna Do All Day?
Pretty much title. Summer school is 100% Edgenuity babysitting. I've poked around the program a bit, and it seems like there is nothing for me to actually teach ... I just get them started, and when one finishes a module, he says, "Miss, I'm ready," and then I click-click and move him on to the next module.
Is this how it works?
If so, what do you do all day? Once I take attendance in the morning, that's pretty much it until I have to enter a daily grade when they're gone, which should take about 5 minutes tops.
I am a nervous-energy person. I walk and fidget and play with things. I cannot sit at a desk for 8 hours a day in perfect stillness waiting for someone to do something.
What can I do? Read? Piddle around online? Play games on my iPad? Knit? Help a fidgeter, please!

2023.05.28 16:06 Snakeytron Forced to.
So when you and your girlfriend get “forced” to break up due to family interference. And no it’s not like we can just run away and live together because her family means the world to her and of course she respects them and loves them to the extent where she would break up with me for them. I’m not saying what she has done is wrong nor right either. There should have been a middle ground.
Anyway, she begged me not to disappear from her life and that she wants me as a “friend”.
The question is, does it actually work? Being a friend after sharing so many emotions. I mean it’s not like a button that you can press and BAM I’m a friend now. I’m trying but every time we talk I feel like throwing up words like I love you and I miss you like crazy.
Yes, yes, time heals all. But I’m confused. Am I supposed to disappear in order to be able to be a friend later? Or just keep acting like I’m fine with all this and see what happens.
She’s confusing me even more because she begs me not to disappear but she barely even talks to me. I’m always the one who asks how she’s doing…etc
Note: she’s on heavy anti-depression/anxiety pills and she’s been trying to cut them off so this is why I’m not blaming her and trying to understand what she’s going through.
What now?

2023.05.28 16:05 EmotionalEmetic Distant Memory That Still Angers Me
Over 10 years ago (damn) before med school, I was training to be a scribe for a private clinic. Part of that training was sitting through some absolutely obtuse corporate onboarding that addressed customer service through a 10min video.
Summary of it is: Dorky, over-budgeted, over-produced but still terribly acted and poorly written video of a middle aged affluent Dude going for a morning walk with his Dog. Dog runs after a bunny, both of them fall and injure themselves. Dude goes to his clinic, where he gets terrible service, waits forever for his doctor, and doc barely talks to him or touches his shoulder before giving him (presumably) narcotics and runs out the room. This Oscar, Pullitzer level performance is contrasted with concierge level service Dude's Wife and Dog experience going to a private veterinarian practice where every step from the waiting room to after visit call is 10/10 amazing. Fin.
Why am I ranting about this now? I can't find said video, but I think about it time to time and more so now than medical school due to the fact that, as a graduating resident, I am not the prime audience for this deaf, brain-dead piece of HR shit. As a pre-med scribe, I knew I was not the main target for said video. I knew it was dumb then and it's obviously still dumb now, but the principle of some of the messages are what now chafe me:
Patients are coming to you for help--be nice to them you silly goose: Multiple times in the video, Dude is treated poorly by support staff. Not only are the people who actually do this NOT going to be affected by a stupid video, this part is literally admin's job to correct. If support staff suck, get new support staff. The fact that the HR dude running the onboarding highlighted this part as if it was a Nobel worthy discovery is just exhausting and one of the many reasons people strain their eye muscles rolling their eyes at HR regularly.
It doesn't take anything to spend more time with the patients: The doctor taking care of Dude in the video isn't rude, but he rushes in, mumbles, doesn't look at or hardly even touch the Dude. He barely comments on patient's vitals and then runs out after Dude has been waiting forever. Dude even whines "But hey I have more questions, excuse me DOCTOR!" and is explicitly ignored. -Even as a lowly scribe, I couldn't help notice how stupid this was. Doctors don't rush in and out of patient rooms by choice--sure, some doctors are assholes. Some patients are needy and will never be satisfied no matter how much time or agenda setting takes place. But it's the admin who cause this problem in the first place by demanding physicians overload their schedule, fill out paperwork, answer endless inbox messages, take random add ons or double books. The very same admin who are dumb enough to produce, pay for, and show the above video.
Needless to say, this is just a dumb 10min video that HR shows to make themselves feel like they contribute to improving patient care or dare I say "patient experience." It puts all the liability and onus on the patient staff and physicians to make the medical system better while the business/admin staff actively make it worse. HR knows it's bullshit, we know it's bullshit. But holy shit is it a micro-cosmic representation of stupid corporate medicine run by lazy business people who can't be bothered to work more than 32hrs a week.
End rant.

2023.05.28 16:05 Dicerson1 Predators and Prey
(Inspired by
this writing prompt, but put into its own post because replies have annoying character limits)
Kin'kar Q'qlan (Translation: He who Slays Death) considered the small prey creature before him. Though doing so was quite difficult, considering this was anything but the usual circumstances under which he does so.
Normally, when he is considering a prey creature he is thinking about its anatomical structure, its behavior. He analyzes its movements, its shape, its hide, its weapons. He formulates a plan for how he shall slay it and claim its skull. Utilizing whatever assistance was afforded him for that particualr hunt, he would identify its tendons, joints, cracks in its chitin if it were exoskeletal, and the like.
But now he is to consider this creature's
words. Even now, several months after learning of this recently uplifted species, the very idea astonishes him. A prey species that
speaks. He was sent here to as the most prodigious hunter amongst the Karkians (Translation: Hunters), and thus their best consultant in such matters.
He must clear his thoughts, he shall begin again at the beginning- when Humanity's existence was first announced by the Imperial Throne to the rest of the galaxy. Apparently the Imperial Throne had discovered the existence of a sapient species months prior- of course conducting its own investigations before making the discovery public. Normally such an event is already cause for a stir, as such species are rarely discovered as a Pre-FTL civilization. The period of development between pre-sapient and starfaring is, compared to the scale of the universe, quite short. It is commonly held that the odds of a sapient species existing in a stage of computerized technological development simultaneously with several other FTL capable species is astronomically unlikely once more than a handful of species have achieved FTL and began expanding to other systems.
But this particular discovery has shaken the foundations of everything known about sapient evolution. For many centuries it has been held by the wisest and eldest of all civilizations that the energy requirements of sapience cannot be sustained by anything less than an apex super-predator- an animal species which preys upon all other species in their planetary environment. To sustain an conscious mind requires frequent consumption of highly energy dense food, of which only a handful of species on any given world are comprised of. While omnivorous sapients are not unheard of, it is rare for circumstances to allow the justification of time spent for a pre-industrial sapient on anything other than mating, development, or hunting. For most, one of these things becomes a cultural centerpoint. For Karkians such as Kin'kar, Hunting is the pride of their people- so much so that they still frequently participate in technologically restricted ritual hunting both for entertainment, and as a method for the resolution of otherwise unresolvable disputes.
Yet, if the Imperial Throne's report is to be believed, this species descends from a sub-predator species. That is, a species of "predators" who are themselves frequently preyed upon by typically more powerful apex predators. Though Kin'kar is loathe to call such a thing a predator. To Karkians, you are either the hunter or the hunted, and never both. Yet, somehow, these
prey animals evolved sapience and eventually overcame their evolutionary predators, no longer vulnerable to being hunted- but neither assuming the role of Apex hunter and super-predating. Not for food, anyways. Also perplexingly, their overcoming of this previously thought unbreakable food chain was prompted by technological development.
In other words- they became sapient
before becoming their planet's apex species. Kin'kar unconsciously loosed several clicks, to the confusion of his guest. No matter how many times he says it to himself or confirms the accuracy of the reports, he can hardly believe it. According to Throne scientists, Humanity invented naturally developed Agriculture- a concept which was previously only theorized as a possible route to the energy requirements of a populous sapient species. Previously, the primary restriction factor for sapient species was sustaining large numbers- the energy requirements of conscious thought meant that species numbers were limited by the availability of food. Only slow development of technology allowing hunting of more and more prey species across more environments more easily could allow a species to grow and begin affording members time to focus on technological development rather than survival. Many scientists believed that, theoretically, the artificial cultivation of plant species could provide this energy- but such ideas were unilaterally passed off as impossible, as an herbivorous species would never be able to evolve the intelligence necessary to begin with, and most omnivorous species developed as a result of an environment were time efficiency was so extremely crucial to survival and food so scarce that it was unfeasible to waste any on such slow methods that could get them killed for no reason other than bad luck.
Yet here Humanity was- having just proven centuries of crackpot theorists correct. An omnivorous species of sub-predators which developed Agriculture as their primary means of sustaining large populations.
"Is something wrong?" the human spoke, their name was 'Isaac'- though this species was one which did not maintain meaning translations for most names and so Kin'kar knew not the significance of the title. Such an odd thing, to claim a name which has no meaning...
"No, apologies. I was lost in thought. Your existence... your people, that is, are perplexing to me." He responded in Honor-Authoritative, though he has been told that human translators are only capable of two tonal discrepencies. Communication must have been difficult for this species, yet another confusing fact.
"Yeah, we get that alot. The boys back home are still mulling over the Imperial Throne's scientific data. It's shattered everything we thought we knew about evolution." He spoke in what Kin'kar's translator indicated as Honor-Mutual. Normally, a Q'qlan would challenge such speech with a ritual hunt to enforce an appropriate speech tone. However, he must be lenient with this species who is unaware of his people's ways. They will learn- this is his mission, afterall. He has been sent by the High Order of the Huntresses to both share Karkian culture and learn human culture- so that the Matrons may establish proper political channels. Though not quite the hunt he is accustomed to, it is an honor to have been selected for such a task.
"The feeling is mutual. Humanity has shattered everything the galaxy knew about sapient evolution. Tell me, is it really true that your kind are not hunters?" He asked, expecting a particular answer.
The human, Isaac, spoke, "Well, sort of. We're not
currently hunters, not really. We've long since surpassed the need to truly hunt for survival. There was a time in our history where hunting was critical for our survival- but once Agriculture developed, it slowly became a secondary, then tertiary concern. Until, eventually, it was simply superfluous and unneeded compared to Herding and Farming. Though the practice remained popular for non-food related materials, and even sport, until a a few centuries ago. Nowadays, hunting at all is frowned upon unless you're living alone in the woods somewhere and need to to survive."
Kin'kar was not expecting this answer. He knew, of course, that they were sub-predators. In the back of his mind, there was small relief that this species was not
entirely herbivorous. They did have to hunt at some point for the energy cost of sapience. But to think that agriculture was so effective that hunting as a strategy became... obsolete? He knew it was not Isaac's fault, but the very thought made his blood boil. Literally. Karkian blood is, uniquely to their species, capable of boiling without causing damage- their veins are semi-permeable to gases, and on especially hot days the blood in veins on the surface of their skin would boil to release heat in the form of vapor. This also doubled as a way to apply scent markings to territory, and to attract mates.
"I'm sorry, you're, uhm. Uh... you're steaming? Literally? Wow. Uh, I didn't mean to anger you, deepest apologies." Isaac spoke, now in... Dishonor-subordinate? Kin'kar shook his head again, he must dissuade his instincts- lest this individuals fluctuating tone's confuse him further.
"Do not apologize for that which is not your fault. I was.. the thought of hunting becoming obsolete. For Karkians, the Hunt is a millenia honored tradition- to call it... 'unneeded' is... agitating. I cannot blame you, you did not know. You said your species used Herding as well? I was only aware of your heavy use of Agriculture." Kin'kar inquired as a way to distract from the agitation.
Herding was known to the Galaxy, even super-predating species cannot sustain hunting alone forever. As populations grow, industrial scale animal processing becomes an inevitability. Not the least because without it, a sufficiently populous species would wipe out all life on their planet! It seems even Humanity could not avoid this, which was oddly comforting. A small bit of reason underneath the foundation of this incredulous species. Kin'kar was still remiss about humanity's apparent disfavor for hunting- at one point they even engaged in it for sport! If
that had been the humanity the Imperial Throne discovered, then perhaps this conversation would be easier held during a Communion hunt... but alas, the offer was rejected prior even to his arrival.
"Yes, as humanity spread out across the planet in our primitive days-"
"What?" Kin'kar interrupted, perhaps slightly dishonorably though he doubted the human even noticed.
"Humanity spread out across the planet in our primitive days?" Isaac repeated.
"You.. humanity encompassed their entire world
before industrializing?" Kin'kar clarified, flabbergasted.
"Actually, before even agriculture truly developed, there were tribes of humans both nomadic and static all over the planet with exception to only a few particularly hostile locations that hardly supported large ecosystems to begin with. Even some of the most remote regions had human tribes, due to ancient geological landbridges that formed during the Ice Ages." Isaac stated with such confidence and stability that even the translator identified absolutely no deception.
This was entire unforeseen. Not even Throne data sharing revealed this. Most species did not expand beyond their evolutionary roots until they began to develop tools for surviving off-environments. Some rare species had durability enough to survive the entire breadth of a continent's temperature and seasonal terrains, but it was literally unheard of for one to be capable of surviving every single planetary ecosystem without the aid of technology to enable the hunting of physically more powerful predators and thus expansion of food sources for, of course, larger populations. Yet, somehow, humanity had done precisely that.
"How? How could a pre-sapient prey species spread across the entire planet and survive without technology to adapt to differing seasonal variations and weapons to hunt and survive its predators- especially foreign predators?" Kin'kar almost exclaimed, not even realizing what he had called humanity...
"I am sorry, but I must correct you. Humanity, even then, was not a 'pre-sapient prey species', as you put it." Isaac spoke again, again with absolute sureity.
"W-what!? But.. the records. The throne's data, the report I received. Your species is descended from prey animals, is it not? Hunteed frequently by... apologies for the enunciation of this word... 'Lee-oh-pahrds', 'Leeohns', and 'Huheenahs' even during your development? You've even stated that you hold life, even that of lesser species, as sacred and have extensive laws for
animal rights?" Kin'kar retored, trying desperately to confirm his information.
"I see you have been.. at least slightly misinformed. Or perhaps have misinterpreted. Your report clearly is not firsthand, in any case." Isaac stated, quite calmly. He stood, activating the holo projector to show Earth side by side with what appeared to be a less evolved human.
"As you say, we are descended from 'prey' animals. A species of hominids, er, well I suppose that just means human ancestor huh, well. A species that came before us, were in fact prey to many varieties of animal in our evolutionary basin, the African Savanahh here-" the holo shifted to show the world's second largest continent, specifically the upper middle portion of it, "-Hyenas, Lions, Leopords mostly. But even so, they still occasionally hunted- only our eldest ancestors so removed so as to hardly be considered hominids were not omnivorous. However, hunting was difficult and infrequent- so ancient diets consisted of a mix of a variety of things including berries, nuts, insects, and whatever meat we could get our hands on. We formed large packs, herds, whatever you want to call the group structure to provide mutual support and keep eyes out for predators. The key to our success was that, even in those times, our intelligence vastly outclassed other animals and enabled us out to outposition, outmaneuver, and generally avoid predators whilst tricking other animals into traps they couldn't escape from. We leveraged our endurance to run down prey until it literally died of exhaustion, then stripped the corpse for as long as it took scavengers to push us away. The moment we began to make use of tools, however, it was over. Not even scavengers could push us away from kills, and even predators risked their own lives with every hunt against us. With tools, hunting in combination with foraging became the staple strategy for just under 2 million years. It wasn't until about a hundred-ish millenia ago when we finally left our evolutionary basin to other continents, due mostly to the Ice Ages forcing us to adapt or die. Thus began the great human migration to basically the entire planet, thanks mostly to lowered sea levels creating land bridges to other continents and prevalent island chains allowing short-term sea travel to the more remote locations. Agriculture didn't really come about until around 12,000ish years ago at which point civilization really kickstarted as tribes of maybe a hundred or so could finally start growing bigger." Isaac concluded, or perhaps simply paused, to allow Kin'kar a chance to process and respond.
"This... I..." His mind raced, shifting with great speed between awe, wonder, confusion, and... fear? Legitimate fear? His hearts raced, thumping their tandem beat as if he were on the trail of dangerous game. He could not shake it. The Throne's were wrong- as they often were the fools, Kin'kar should have known better. This was no mere 'prey' species- they were a trap! Their looks, their attitudes, their culture.. everything is just a trick! A facade meant to
lull the other species into a false sense of security. But now.. now he could truly see into Isaac's gaze- see his intent. Where before Kin'kar was confused as to this creature's confidence, curious as to how a prey animal could maintain such a solid gaze. Now he knew for certain.
It was he who was being hunted. All this time, it was Kin'kar who was being analyzed. Studied. Picked apart. Were this truly a Communion hunt, Kin'kar would already have dishonored his people a hundred times over. He would have no choice but to return home in shame and allow another to take the mantle. He thanked the ancestors this did not come to pass.
This species, first a prey animal, in the span of merely 2 million years evolved into a what Kin'kar can only describe as an
optional super-predator. A species that could easily overwhelm and dominate any ecosystem it was in- predate upon all of its top predators, and come out with more bounty for it. But they didn't. They opted for mutuality. They survived the predators, but focused on the core prey animals. They continued to supplement their hunt of less efficient game with foraging- using both tactics at once as most omnivorous species do. But not out of necessity. Not out of need.
But because that's just what they wanted to do. Because they did not
need to hunt more efficiently. They had evolved an intelligent brain 'even back then' Isaac had said.. even before becoming the planetary apex. Just how efficient were they? Running prey to death by exhaustion? Not even with tools or weapons? Just.. chasing it until it died? How in all the galaxy could they support an intelligent mind on, ostensibly, such low energy costs? It was preposterous! Even the most generous theories tossed out such ridiculous notions as a herbivorous-favoring omnivore with intelligence...
There was only one question Kin'kar knew to ask. He was no scientist, but even he understood some biological basics.
"The translator should translate this correctly. How many Calories does a human require for daily functions?" Kin'kar asked, dreading the answer.
"Most estimates place it at around 2,000 for a healthy diet, though that can vary by as much as a thousand or more." He stated, his expression plain and unassuming as if he did not just invoke a ritual to make Jorq'inian roll in his grave. As if he did not just overturn over ten millenia of scientific research. As if his statement did not change the face of the galaxy. Kin'kar did not steam. He
froze. The death sentence. The primordial locking of joints that was often seen as a sign of weakness, a base fear response instinct that Karkians possessed as a holdover from their ancestor species- from even before they had become super-predators. To show it in the presence of other Karkians was the surest way to lose all honor. To become outcast, destitute, and stripped of titles. Even though he was the only Karkian here, and thus his position maintained- this moment would haunt Kin'kar for the rest of his days. The day he knew true, primordial fear. When he finally grasped the sheer level of
danger Humanity presented.
A species that defied Jorq'inians law of evolution. It all suddenly made sense. No wonder they did not need to super-predate to survive. They simply
broke the laws and developed caloric efficiency beyond all theories. They could support a brain, advanced muscle structures, strength, endurance... everything on far less than any other species needed.
Kin'kars mind reached even further into the depths of terror.
They developed agriculture. The Theory of Agriculture was straightforward.
On Paper it could provide far higher net energy than predation, if done properly. The main issue was that by the time any species had the means to utilize it, industrial scale animal processing had already developed and the relative cost of low-technological agriculture was just too high to warrant spending countless centuries developing it when one could simply just expand their current methods.
But Humanity, who was already so incredibly energy efficient. Already capable of hunting all they needed and then some, already in position to truly become super-predators; Humanity developed Agriculture. Twelve thousand years ago? Kin'kar hadn't even registered that number just yet, but now that he thinks about it, the average time between developing of mass animal processing and FTL was typically in the thirty to forty thousand range.
And Humanity did it in twelve. By the time most species were computerized and beginning to look beyond their planets, Humanity was tribal and farming plants.
And here they are, now entering the Galactic stage barely ten or so millenia after the rise of the first FTL civilization- the Imperial Throne. The
speed of their development is terrifying. Kin'kar knew this could mean only one thing. This was them. This was the Junt'Bah. The unhuntable. The most dangerous game. The one species that no Karkian ever survived pursuit of. Rumors of their existence began only barely a century ago- when rumors of a world containing supposedly plentiful game was discovered and the parties sent to it never returned. Rumor has it that the first to go there returned after a successful first hunt. But the second was not so. The next party to follow never returned. Or the next. Or the next... information was scarce, as those who knew of the planet's location were either dead or so fearful of it that they refused to reveal its whereabouts. The rumors spread like wildfire, though the vast majority of Karkian society disregarded them as a pipe-dream thought up by dis-satisfied hunters wishing to make up pretense for fallacious boasts.
But now, Kin'kar knew it was the truth. The timing is too perfect. Barely a century ago, if the report is true, Humanity had began to develop basic tech-weapons and enter early militarization (at least what passed for such things in galactic society). If the first hunt was successful, that would imply some element of surprise was at play.. but if the subsequent ones were not. Kin'kar was in grave danger, did he know? Was humanity already aware of Karkians even before the uplift began? Was this some kind of trap? Would he ever see his mate again?
"Kin'kar? Are you alright? You look pale." Isaac noted in- damn the translator. He could be speaking primitive-infant right now and Kin'kar would still be afraid. He had to respond, to maintain some semblance of authority before the predator got any ideas...
"I am fine, I was just. Surprised, at the information. I will... have to update our records. Could you provide a more... direct document? I am not exactly a scientist, I am merely my people's best hunter..." Kin'kar spoke, unconsciously using Dishonor-Submissive...
"Ah, yes, your people. I was hoping we could discuss them some? I've just shared most of my people's history, afterall.." Isaac expectantly lead.
"O-oh, yes, of course..." Kin'kar submitted.
In the coming days, the Karkian empire would enter into a Defensive pact with Humanity in a political move that stunned the entire galaxy. Karkians were notoriously fierce and highly independent, militarily capable of resisting Imperial annexation whilst holding strategically important worlds that precluded annihilation class weapons. A fact that their High Order of Huntresses frequently leveraged during political talks and attempts to trade. Yet, for seemingly no discernible reason, they entered and equal-footing defensive agreement with Humanity- enabling the newly uplifted species to resist Imperial annexation and remain independant. Rumor has it this was preluded by a dramatic shift in Karkian authority, with nearly half their high order stepping down and being replaced by subordinates after some kind of cultural scandal- though no other species truly knew what happened when Kin'kar's report reached the council's eyes. They did not know how much blood was shed that day.
Humanity, for their part, was very glad to have the Predators on their side. Much better than the movies.

2023.05.28 16:05 ziothealaktis My thoughts about all weapons in HROT
This list is in no particular order and most of the names are my own creation and therefore not canon.
The Kick: The Kick is a secondary weapon. Like grenades, it can be used while holding another weapon. Unlike the grenades, the Kick doesn't make your enemies explode on impact. It can be used to kick enemies away from you, which can be useful when it gets too crowded, but that's it. And honestly, that's a-okay with me. This is not Fallout, after all, so I dont expect to set off a nuclear blast when destroying people's nuts in this game.
The Sickle: The Sickle is your standard FPS melee weapon, meaning will its ammo is unlimited, because it doesn't need any, the same can't be said for its usefulness. It can only really be used to kill mice, bats, and maybe the lesser newts, everything else would take way too long. But, like any standard FPS melee weapon, it is perfect to destroy containers and other things in the environment, getting you some goodies without wasting bullets.
The Pistol: Also known as the Makarov, this is one of only three weapons (the other ones being the Sawn-Off and the Hussite Handcanon) in this game that has to be visibly reloaded, which is something I only see done with double-barreled shotguns in Boomer Shooters. Why the developer gave the need to reload to the standard FPS pistol of all things beats me, because otherwise, it is just that: a standard FPS pistol. Its fire rate is in the mid-range and its damage is rather low. But luckily, there is a saving grace for the Makarov. Double the gun, double the fun, as they say.
Double Pistols: While one Makarov is only serviceable, two are just extremely fun to use. I guess it's the higher fire rate paired with the fact that you use Akimbo pistols, which feels instantly awesome. Also, I kinda like the reload animation. And with two pistols, reloading makes also more sense, because you could argue that it is here for balancing reasons because otherwise, the pistols would replace the Machine Gun without having any bullet spread.
The Soviet Shotgun: Or just Shotgun. If you ever played Doom, Doom 2, or Quake, you know what to expect. The damage depends on how many pellets can connect with your target. The closer you are, the more pellets will hit. The Shotguns fire rate is slower than most weapons, which is counteracted by its steady damage output. Shotguns in Boomer Shooters are often described as the working horse, meaning they are not special, but they get the job done, a tool good for most situations. But I would argue, I used the following weapon much more, making it the working horse.
The Double-barreled Shotgun: The Double-Barreled Shotgun, also known as Sawn-Off Shotgun is a mainstay in FPS games since Doom 2 almost 30 years ago. 30 years! That's like a millennium in Internet time! My Goodness, I'm old! Where was I? Ah, yeah, the Sawn-Off in HROT. I used this weapon more frequently than the Soviet Shotgun as soon as I could get my hands on it. I mean, it shoots two shells at once and its reloading time is not that much longer, so using it is a no-brainer to me. The only situation where I preferred the Soviet Shotgun over the Sawn-off was when I got the speed powerup because slam firing at mach-10 speed is just too fun and efficient to not do it.
The Submachine Gun: The perfect example of a weapon in an FPS that does its job perfectly, but because I prefer other tactics, I seldom use it. The Submachinegun bleeds bullets like nobody's business, but that comes at the cost of low damage per hit. In general, a very good weapon against crowds, if I wouldn't prefer to kill most enemies as soon as possible and be done with it. I only find myself using the Submachinegun against the flying Stalin heads and maybe groups of the gasmaskers, but otherwise, I had to force myself to use it for the sake of variety. Good gun, just not for me.
Landmines: Full confession, I mostly used them to break walls with secrets behind them when I was low on grenades. I get the concept, you are supposed to lay traps with them, but honestly, in most situations, I was too preoccupied with imminent survival to hatch any kind of elaborate schemes. Also, you can't use them while using other guns, which makes me use them even less.
Grenades: I never used grenades as a primary weapon, because they are more useful as a secondary weapon or as ammo for the grenade launcher.
The Hussite Handcannon: Also known as the Grenade Launcher, this gun takes your grenades and shoots them in a straight line at your target, making this thing HROTs equivalent of a rocket launcher. Its only downgrade is that you lose the bounce of the thrown grenades, so you can't throw them around corners anymore, but I personally prefer a more controlled method of delivery anyway. Essential when fighting against bosses, especially because grenades can be found in abundance throughout this game.
The Crossbow: The Crossbow is HROTs sniper. Its bolts fly far, have almost no drop-off, and the fire rate is a bit slow, almost on the same level as the Soviet Shotgun. Perfect to kill enemies in high places or on the other side of an arena separated by water or something else.
Wine: Yes, Wine is mostly used as a portable medkit, but if you use the right click, you throw the bottle like a Molotov on the cost of one swig. I actually only learned that this is possible near the end of the game, so I never used it, but I appreciate the mere existence of this feature.
The Tesla Gun: The Tesla Gun is with the Wine the most creative gun in the game. It spouts out lightning, that doesn't only damage its original target but also sparks over to enemies around them. So perfect for room clearing. The way you get ammo for this gun is also very unique: you can either destroy cars and take their batteries or let yourself get zapped by transformer boxes. Also, you can't use it underwater, because you would electrocute yourself, which is just a very nice detail, even though I dont want to know how many beginners it killed.
The BFG: Uses the same ammo as the Tesla Gun (I think), but instead of shooting one spark, it shoots a whole lightning ball that kills everything in the room, white atomic afterglow inclusive. I can't really talk about this beast, because I got it only once, which was in the newt level, but yeah... it's just fair that this thing is insanely rare.
Conclusion: The weapons are well-designed, all be it nothing new, with few notable exceptions. But then again, total originality was never HROTs goal. Like most Boomer Shooters, it doesn't bring many new things to the table, but mostly takes old things, updates and improves them, and puts its own spin on them. In this case, it took Quake and put it into a S.T.A.L.K.E.R.-esque, Soviet Prague. I wouldn't call the arsenal a mere re-skin of Quakes gun though, more so a reiteration of FPS weapon archetypes, which Quake had a hand in establishing. While HROT doesn't do anything new with most of these archetypes, it uses them well in its gameplay and gives the setting more immersion through their appearances. The only real complaint I have about the arsenal is that there is no AK-47, which says a lot, given that most FPS games have at least one big stinker in their arsenal (looking at you, Snark from the original Half-Life!). In the end, HROTs arsenal is the old reliable of Boomer Shooters: it doesn't do anything crazy, but is consistently satisfying to use.
But seriously, why is there no AK? I still feel robbed and I DEMAND answers!

2023.05.28 16:04 unreliab1eNarrator Connected to wifi but can't connect to internet - what to look at next?
After a recent update I booted in to find my wifi wasn't working. In the gnome network menu I was getting an error about how there was no wifi adapter. I noticed the toggle in the top right was off, and switched it on. I could then (apparently) connect to wifi, but whenever I attempt to navigate to a site I get the generic unable to connect page (site can't be reached. check the proxy, firewall, DNS, etc). I tried this on two browsers and my phone hotspot and got the same result, so I proceeded assuming it was my laptop. I went through the basics to make sure I was connected correctly. Making sure the driver is in use:
~:) lspci -k ... 04:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 8260 (rev 3a) Subsystem: Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260 [Snow Field Peak AC] Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi Kernel modules: iwlwifi
Seems good. Checking the interface:
~:) ip link ... 3: wlp4s0:
mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP mode DORMANT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 38:00:25:55:57:2b brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff ...
The dormant setting didn't seem right but changing it to default didn't fix the issue (sudo ip link set wlp4s0 mode default works but it doesn't change the result). I continue, making sure it's up (it says it is but I was making sure I checked the boxes):
[r[email protected] thadryan]# ip link set wlp4s0 up [[email protected] thadryan]#
Inspect the firmware:
```
[[email protected] thadryan]# dmesg grep firmware [ 2.226448] i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] Finished loading DMC firmware i915/skl_dmc_ver1_27.bin (v1.27) [ 5.920752] systemd[1]: TPM2 PCR Machine ID Measurement was skipped because of an unmet condition check (ConditionPathExists=/sys/firmware/efi/efivars/StubPcrKernelImage-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f).

No abnormalities that I'm aware of but would be good to have others eyes on it. The next parts of the wiki are on authentication which doesn't seem to be the issue as I'm connected already and things seem to be working normally. I confirm the connection using Network Manager (nmcli states I'm connected to the desired network).
I tried a few other things: Per this I tried connecting manually and got an error saying the operation was already in progress, I do don't think it's that.
When I checked head /etc/resolv.conf I just get:
```
Generated by NetworkManager
nameserver ::1 ```
The file it's symlinked to, /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf contains:
nameserver ::1 nameserver ::1 search .
This didn't seem right to me but I've never messed around in that part of the system before. As an experiment, I backed up the file and edited it to match my other, working machine, but it's written over by NetworkManager on boot. I've never delved into this particular area of my system before so I did some research and found this, which lead to this, and /run/NetworkManageresolv.conf does indeed match what's being written on boot.
I modified this file, but it's still writing over the mostly empty one on boot, so clearly there was clearly one more step of configuration that needed to happen. Looking at the docs, I configured NetworkManager to not change this file by adding the following to /etc/NetworkManageconf.d/dns.conf: [main] dns=none
I then added the configuration information from my working system to resolv.conf and rebooted. I confirmed that NetworkManager had not altered this file and the information I entered was still there. No luck. I also tried revisiting the "dormant" setting, setting it to default after the other configuration to no avail. I've never dealt with this issue before and am not sure where to look next.
Is there anything else I should try before I make a full post on the forums?
Thanks!

2023.05.28 16:04 LosPollosHermanos4L Here's my complete rating of Black Ops 1 using pros and cons for every map (final rating on the last slide)
2023.05.28 16:04 coopers_creatures I feel like I will never be able to navigate through a long term creative project. Do I lack discipline or do I not want it enough? Or is it something else entirely?
I essentially see the loop I am existing within as a depreciating sine graph. In the upward ramp of the graph I am attempting to order my daily life towards a direct goal of completing a long form creative project. It has been many different things, a webcomic, a novel, an album or a cohesive design portfolio. To name a few.
I feel very energetic at the beginning of this process, I feel like I have a unique way of thinking - so I never experience lag in the idea conjuring phase of a project. I will consistently finish the plan for the project, I will basically understand what I would want the end product to look like. I then excitedly begin the project and start attempting to realise the vision. In this phase I produce good work that shows promise, I can show it to people and they think "oh this looks like it will be something cool". This is where things usually take a turn.
I dont seem to be able to make myself show up day after day. It feels like the most impossible thing to just slowly build something block by block. Its almost like my brain understands this work in the beginning of a project to be all there is. Basically even though I know its not true it feels like "whelp there we go, we finished that project - what are we going to work on next? whats the next idea?".
This is where we start sliding rapidly downward in the graph. I always try to fight this resistance my brain is producing but I can never beat it. It feels like I am being pulled by some invisible magnetic force away from the project. I am 25 now, and I have been telling myself I am a creative person who will make something that matters to people all my adult life. All I have to show for that are the promising beginnings to numerous projects that dont even feel like my own work to me anymore. I couldnt go back and revisit them, it feels too alien/foreign to where my current frame of mind is. I tend to degenerate as a person in this phase, I take part in my unhealthy habits more frequently etc. I feel like over time this loop is depreciating and I am spending more time in this depressive state.
I am proud of the progress I have made, I tend to learn quickly but in a very disordered fashion. I have never related to my peers and how they study. I have to follow my interest and try to make something rather than taking part in daily targeted practice.

2023.05.28 16:04 HarrytheStampy Is there even an end in sight?
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Greetings. I know many of you have symptoms that are much more serious than mine, and that mine are probably nothing in comparison to yours. However, even this light degree of symptoms has been enough to completely put my life on halt.
Prior to this I had once been a fairly athletic person. I was on a sports team and exercised intensively 4-5 days per week. Starting from late February I experienced chronic headaches/head pressure, which went away after one month but was replaced by something arguably worse: chronic dizziness and occasional nausea if I move my head around too much. Chinese medicine is a popular option where I live, and I would say it improved my symptoms to the point where I felt completely back to normal by late April. I even resumed my regular sporting activities again, and for a while I thought I could finally have my old life back.
But just a few days ago I woke up and found that I was experiencing dizziness that was equivalent to, if not worse, than the initial symptoms I had experienced. I went out to have lunch with a couple of friends as per an appointment I had made earlier that week, and I was forced to leave early by a strong bout of nausea. As I'm writing this the dizziness is still quite noticeable, and earlier during the day I had a strong urge to vomit as well. I have no idea if this is a relapse or not, and I'd really appreciate it if any of you would be willing to share similar experiences.
At this point I've started losing hope. Chinese medicine has been the only thing that has been keeping my life on track, but my parents have forbade me from taking any more since they say it is "harmful to the organs". Thus I have been deprived of my only comfort and I can only resort to prayers.
Even worse would be the mental aspect. My parents and even my friends think that I'm crazy whenever I mention I'm having long COVID. They either say that I am imagining the dizziness, in that I'm not actually sick, or it is just another excuse to get out of things. The lack of solidarity is very concerning. Other friends of mine have successfully recovered from COVID without any side effects, and are now living life and playing sports to the fullest. This makes me feel even more worthless and left behind.
I already wasted one year of my life taking public exams, another two in lock-down. I don't want to lose any more.

2023.05.28 16:04 Eyesalwaysopened What’s Is Up With Ranked? It’s Absolutely Horrible. 3 Stacked Predators In Silver Lobbies.
This has been my ranked experiences thus far. I came back after 3 seasons at the promise of a new reworked ranked system and they somehow made it worse.
It’s the rat games. End games become 5 teams with 4 of those teams being rats.
Lobbies are just 3 stacked preds. Just got rolled in lobby with the 51st, 27th and 408th ranked preds, in a silver 4 lobby.3 stacks dropping 30+ combine kills.
Is this why the game is dying? How can they keep making it worse?
Normally I wouldn’t complain but you should have heard my random teammates over mic. They sounds so dead inside and said, “guess I’ll just go play something else. I’m tired of this…”
I hope your experiences have been much better.
In this ranked system, I bet we’ll have a lot of diamonds and masters but is it worth it inside of these “rat till the end, kills don’t matter” ranked system?
Sucks, because I really was looking forward to playing again after so long.
