Hello. So I am looking to buy myself a good pc that can do a mix of gaming, video processing, and more. I have just started down this road, so I am turning here for a check of how I am doing. I am planning on editing this list, but I need a good base to start with.
1) Do all these parts work together? I have to check everything from GPU size, to motherboard compatibility, and more... so does everything here actually work, and would fit in the pc case?
2) Is all the parts rather compatible... I'm not spending more for something that is faster than the cpu can handle, for instance, right? Does the power supply fit everything? Can everything be air cooled? Also do I need a gpu cooler if I prefer to cool via air power?
3) What recommendations do you think I should make to this list? I want a high-workload cpu and gpu in general, and I don't know exactly what I am looking at.

Any help/tips are appreciated. Thanks!

sorry for the title but that is all i could come up with. i have very visible scars ALL OVER my thighs. i know this is a common theme in this sub (being scared to show scars in summer) but i have zero clue on what to do. if it was on my arms, i feel like stuff like bracelets would cover it up good. but my LEGS???? wearing longer shorts wouldn't work because i have a lot of scars right by my knees. i could just wear pants, but i know that's going to be super uncomfortable and hot. plus i have no idea what to do about swimming. cursing my past self for cutting in spots where it's super hard to cover up. UGHH!!!!!!! i guess i'll have to learn to just be okay with them. but it's going to be SO awkward around family.

Thanks for the help, my wife wants to get me a new wallet for Father's Day ($50 - $75 USD) to replace my Osprey London wallet similar to this. Love my current wallet as it was a gift from my grandmother just before her passing, but have come into some lower back pain and need to switch to a front pocket.
I carry 4-5 cards daily (Debit, Visa, Amex x3) plus ID and insurance cards. Cash is very limited to 1-2 bills if any at all. I prefer leather with an ID slot, but ID Slot is not necessary. I do not like the "Stack" type of a Ridge and others.
Current considerations have included:

• Bellroy Slim Sleeve
  • Not sure how the pull tab would work as I've never used a wallet with it, but seems perfect.
• Saddleback Front Pocket ID
  • I have seen conflicting comments regarding recent QC issues, Credit Card breaks, Warranty Misrepresentation, etc. but I'm intrigued nonetheless.
  • The slim leather card wallet doesn't look like it would have enough card slots for my liking
• House of Jack Slim Card Wallet
  • Looks to serve the purpose, but haven't seen many reviews specifically regarding quality/longevity of the brand
• House of Jack Ivar ID Bifold
  • Also looks to be viable, but I'd be concerned with security if money is placed on the exterior. Same concerns about quality/longevity
• Bryker Hyde Minimalist
  • See a few issues in the reviews regarding the money clip
• Ashland
  • High end of the budget, all of their wallets seem to require stacking 2+ in a card slot
• Aurochs Wave Bifold
  • Not sure on card layout, but would be interested to hear first hand accounts
• Popov
  • Doesn't feel like it would give enough card slots and is high end of the budget.

I (18f) bf (18m)Okay when I started dating my bf , we agreed no porn because it is bad for your sex life, and because of how degrading it is to me , he agreed , I had a gut feeling the whole time he was , and if I asked he would shout make me feel insecure or blank me and gaslight me so I wouldn't bring it up again , I thought I was just being crazy and obsessive , I should trust him right? Wrong about a year and half of lying to my face, I checked his advanced and there it was , all the usual sites , I felt sick and so angry I almost threw it at him while he slept , he confessed, shrugging at me while I cried and begged why I wasn't pretty enough , or good enough to be faithful to me . For context im plus size , 5'6/7 and he claims to love me and how I look , but then confesses to watching these skinny petite girls , all perfect and small , and he fantasises sleeping with them. This is was last summer and we are now two years in almost three , and this time I found cam sites on his history , and I feel sick to my stomach, he lied to my face before eventually confessing bc I told him ik he's lying and he disgusts me rn . He stares at his hands while I yet again cry , bc only a few months ago he told his mum I was controlling and horrible bc I didn't trust him still I feel sick , idk what to do . I feel so ugly , so unwanted he said its a bad habit but I feel so horrible , I don't want him to see me bc i'll never look like them , I'll never be thin and pretty like them, and I keep catching myself comparing and obsessing and feel close to relapsing , I could never leave him , he can be so lovely and kind , but I am sick to my stomach right now and no one gets it . I have a lot of childhood trauma and I am a csa survivor and was made to watch porn with my abuser from childhood , he knew it was very triggering for me and all of it meant before we dated , I had relationships with older men and sexulised myself from 13 bc I thought that's what I had to do to deserve love , I expected the pain from those relationships and people , but not from him when he knew how much it hurts.

Hey friends! In preparation for release day I’m trying to nail down what classes I should roll with given the hugely restrictive size of only 4 member’s. I had a few clarifying questions if anyone is more knowledgeable and can help me spot any pitfalls I’m making.
My general layout is thus: I need a tank or front liner, lockpick/stealth, support(in/out of combat), and finally an arcane caster.
Looking at it this way it seems for lockpick I’m stuck with either rogue or ranger. I like rogues in tabletop but in game I find them kind of dry so it looks like I’ll grab a ranger here. One down.
Tank wise I really like paladins and barbarians are shockingly fun in EA. Unfortunately I like the theme of paladin better for a first play through plus he can work as a face. Paladin locked.
Arcane I can go any way with really. I enjoy them all equally, I think I might run mage just to be able to write all the spells I find.
The last slot is where I’m really torn. I think I’m leaning either bard/Druid/cleric and really I can go either way here. I think I might save bard for future play through a as I wasn’t too impressed with them in EA. But for Druid/cleric I’m lost. Druid seems more versatile, shapeshifting, control spells, healing spells, etc. I can’t really think of much that a cleric brings. Granted their high level spells are more “potent” but they seem very niche. Can anyone give me some pro/cons between these two?
Anyway I’d love any input or something I’m totally missing here.
Thanks!

Hey all! Hows it going, my friend with benefits and I are looking to do a little experimenting this summer. Ideally it would be when I house sit so a family friend in early July so here's a little about us and hopefully we can link up and have some fun.
Here's our stats just so you can size us up: I'm 32, 6'0 tall, white/mexican mixed brown hair and eyes, 175lbs, fit but not jacked, think a dad bod, 7 inches and thick cock, college educated, drink but don't smoke unless its 420 but mostly stick to vaping weed, have a car, have a job, easy to get a long with.
She's 50, 5'6, dark brown hair, thick and curvy asian, nice tits, squirts like a fountain, also likes a few drinks and smokes, similarly employed self sufficient etc.
We both met a few years ago amidst the heavier times of the pandemic and started to hook up on and off. Lately we've been hanging out frequently enough and experimenting a bit more and we are ready to have some fun and set up a threesome. We are both ready for this, this is strictly casual as are we and just another way for us to indulge and enjoy our private escapades. While this was originally my fantasy, she's into it as well so don't worry about one of us getting cold feet, we're ready to roll.
What we are looking for: someone, who's interested in experimenting with a casual couple and having some fun with us. This isn't some super deep "we want our unicorn" corny situation, we're just two horny adults who like to get together and indulge in that and we want someone else to come and do the same. As far. Age wise, we obviously have a pretty significant gap and don't mind that either, you can be 18-60. I think in that regard our only preference would be that you have some experience or be willing to learn and comfortable with learning if you don't. Other than that we both prefer and appreciate thickecurvier bodies so front of the line if that's you. Beyond that we have no preference in ethnicity. Just be clean/STD free since we are and ideally being on birth control is a big plus. And most importantly be horny and ready for some fun.
Anyways, hope we didn't talk your ear off. Get at us if you are down to chat and get to know us and plan something for July or possibly sooner if we hit it off and want to meet. She's in the valley and i'm in the South Bay of the Los Angeles area. She can host sometimes but ideally we'd be hosting in the Torrance area when it comes time to house sit. We have messengers for moving off reddit. Your ideal response includes a little about yourself and some pics so we can send you some in return.
Lets have some fun

I’m a 23M looking for the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with.
My description

• 23 Years old
  
• 6 feet 5 inches
  
• A little bit plus sized but I’ve been working on it, making progress but still have some work to to.
  
• Brown hair, Hazel eyes
  
• Fiercely loyal and protective
  
• Extremely loving and caring once we connect but very shy at first.
  
• Deeply emotional. If I fall for you, I’m going to fall hard.
  
• Big old nerd about fantasy, sci-fi, reading, and pop culture.
  
• Will always love and be here for you to talk to or be with, you deserve to feel loved.
  
• Emotionally available
  

This is everything I feel comfortable sharing about myself right now. Hopefully you’re out there and looking for me as hard as I’m looking for you.
You’re the one I’m looking for if you are:

• Around my age, so between 20-25
  
• I don’t really care a whole lot about stuff like hair, eye color, race, religion, politics or anything like that. I just care about how much love and support we’re able to give each other.
  
• Fiercely loyal and protective
  
• Someone around average size or just over average size like me, I’d love some more inspiration and motivation to keep going to the gym and get better.
  
• Passionate about similar things, tell me about your passions when you reach out to me.
  
• Comfortable and available chatting and voice calling often and maybe meeting if we connect. I’ll always take a chance to hear your voice.
  
• Comfortable with exchanging photos after we’ve been talking for a week or two.
  
• A loving and caring person. I have a lot of love and comfort to give and hope to find someone similar.
  
• if I had to describe myself/personality or list some characters I aspire to be like I’d say Ted Lasso and Uncle Iroh.
  

If you’ve read this far, you’re just amazing. Direct message me if you feel a connection and want to talk more, but include something about yourself and include the phrase “I’ve missed you.” No chats please, my chats on Reddit have been bugging really bad so I might not see it. If you think we may be great for each other include your discord, snap, or whatever you normally use so we can talk.
If you’re here still, know that I love you and want to hear from you soon. ❤️❤️

FTM and I’m struggling with which route to go. I bought some underwear that I thought I’d be able to wear postpartum with a pad but I have an apron belly and they’re just not fitting right. If I pull them up over my belly I don’t think the pad will sit properly and if I sit them under my belly (like I do most underwear) I’m worried it would irritate the incision if I end up with a C-section. I’ve been looking at adult diapers but I’m not sure which brand or what kind and they’re so expensive I don’t want to buy them and then they don’t fit right either. I want them to be big enough to fit around the belly but snug enough to protect against leaks. I’m 38 weeks today so nothing like waiting until the last minute. Hoping to hear other suggestions on what worked for you or what you plan to do either with underwear or diapers. Thank you I’m advance!

Location: USA
Budget: Under ~$1700
Usage: 6+ hours a day for 2-3 years
Screen size: Under 14"
Ram: 32gb+
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a laptop that serves me well for at home business work. I've used Dell XPS for the last 7 years (new one every 2 years) but the recent XPS 13 plus had touchpad/Clicking issues driving me crazy so I had to get rid of it.
I prefer buying a cheaper laptop (rather than a mac) because I like to get a new one every 2-3 years.
I would say I use it half the time on my lap and half the time hooked up to a monitor.
32gb or more ram is neccesary because I work with ALOT of tabs.
Would love to hear some reccomendations!

2013 Fiesta Titanium 1.5 diesel, 130,000 miles. Driving home last night and as I got close I noticed a tapping noise. Took it to my trusted local garage and he thinks it definitely something top end. Based on costs to strip down, diagnose, and rebuild the engine versus the value of the car we have decided to try and trade it in somewhere for something new. Hopefully wherever I go will just do a visual valuation. I’ve had it from new so have had my money’s worth, but even so it’s annoying as it was ‘free’ motoring. No idea what to get other than something the same size but in petrol/hybrid this time around. Probably looking to spend around £15k plus whatever I can get for my car.

Part 1
Percy handed Gary the list and he looked it over, then handed it to Inanna. She glanced down and quickly counted the locations on it.
"Yeah. I'll get a wizard and two security operators to each one. Percy, Beth, can you guys call them and let them know? I don't want any surprises when a weirdo and two heavily armed mercs show up at these people's homes."
Percy and Beth both nodded. "Yeah. Is there anything else you need from us?"
Gary and Inanna glanced at each other. Both of them knew what they needed, but neither particularly liked it. Gary gave her a slight nod. He'd say it. He squared himself up to Percy.
"You an' yer wife should go find a different place to sleep tonight. But not Suzanne."
"Why not?" Beth asked as Percy winced, understanding.
"Because," Gary explained. "We need her here to make sure this thing has something here to target. We don't want it following you guys elsewhere, expanding its territory."
"You want to use her as bait?!" Beth gasped. Gary held up both hands, but Inanna stepped forward.
"We will keep her safe, I promise. Gary is a retired green beret, who's since been imbued with a perfect, and I mean literally perfect, knowledge of all combat arts to have ever existed, in addition to being a powerful sorcerer in his own rights."
Sorcerers were what most of the world knew demigods as, Gary knew. It was yet another effect of Sookie's show, which had chosen that word as it was 'less confusing' than demigod.
"I'm a sorcerer as well, in addition to being a former goddess. My earliest memories predate the construction of the pyramids, and I've seen these kinds of spirits before. I know how to handle them."
Beth and Percy glanced at each other uncertainly.
"I swear on my life, on my husband's and daughter's lives that I will die before I let anything happen to that girl of yours," Gary said. Percy looked at him so Gary fixed his eyes on the other man's, letting him see the sincerity in his declaration. After a moment, he looked at Beth, who felt the weight of his gaze and met his eyes.
Percy nodded. Beth sighed and took his hand.
"Okay," he said quietly. "Let me go talk to Suzanne."
----
Inanna and Gary hopped out of Old Bess at the nearby park. "I think this will work," she said. Gary looked around, noticing a few people. Some teenagers, hanging out at one of the picnic pavilions, smoking cigarettes and chatting and playing on their phones. A couple of mothers, sitting on the benches, watching their kids as they played on the playground, or else hanging around the two obvious fathers, smiling and chatting.
"It does seem to have a similar vibe," Gary said. He glanced at the sign and noted the lack of posted hours. There was no obvious place to lock the gate of the fence that surrounded it, either. Both were good signs, meaning that any cop driving past would be unlikely to disturb them. Of course, it also meant Gary might have to chase people off later, but he was confident in his ability to do that.
"We'll have to do the ritual here first," Inanna said. "At sunset would be best." Gary nodded. He pointed to a flat area of grass between the pavilions and the playground. "That gonna be big enough?"
"Yup," Inanna confirmed.
"Now for the real question," Gary asked, turning to face her. "Are you up for this?"
Inanna sighed. "I mean... I know that I have all my bases covered, but the difficulty I'm still having doing magic is worrying. But honestly... Gary, this is mostly on you. I've upgraded my buttplug to conceal magic and heat, and the ring I have for Suzanne will do the same for her. The illusion is on you to power, I'll just be shaping it. If something goes wrong and the spirit attacks us, I'm sure I can fend it off long enough for you to teleport back and take over."
Gary winced. Inanna had always been someone he'd known as a powerhouse, both magically and physically. She still was in the latter category, but a spirit like this required one to imbue their body with magic to fight it. And Inanna had been open about her difficulties using magic ever since she'd been taken by Sarisa.
The sad truth was, she was weak now.
Her body healed far more slowly than those of the other demigods. Her ability to draw magic from her wells was increasing as she practiced daily, but it was still nowhere near what it was. Even compared to human wizards, who had to draw in trickles of magic from their environment to power their spells, she was a lightweight.
Sure, she could beat the tar out of a whole bunch of normal people, even trained fighters, even all at once. Her martial skills had been untouched. But normal people were rarely the kinds of threats the Group dealt with. She'd moved over to Investigative services for that exact reason. Her magical senses still worked just fine. She could investigate, and her prodigious knowledge of all things supernatural helped her a lot in that regards.
Speaking of her prodigious knowledge...
"So fill me on on this spirit," Gary said. "I know ya didn't want to talk about it in front of them, but we're alone now."
Inanna gestured to an empty table under one of the pavilions and they both walked over and sat.
"Okay, so this is a bugbear. They're actually an offshoot of the Yokai, but clearly they don't look anything like them, so-" She stopped as she noticed Gary giving her the stink eye.
"Uh, most Yokai are kinda like pig-men. Bodies of men, but with really thick chests and faces like wild pigs. It doesn't matter. Bugbears can change their form at will, and they often choose forms designed to engender terror. In this case, I think this one is going off Slenderman."
"That's the one the internet made up, right?"
"Yup. It's an obvious choice. Slenderman steals children, bugbears feed on children's deaths. So dying in fear produces a lot of energy, and this energy is a bugbear's favorite nourishment. They sniff out children living in fear and give them nightmares to 'fatten them up', so to speak. Then, when they've become scared enough, they strike, ripping the fear and soul out. That's what causes the torn heart tissue. The body's desperately clinging to the soul, but the fear is giving the bugbear enough strength to kill."
"So they eat souls?"
"No, they eat the fear that's clinging to the soul. There isn't much that can even damage a soul."
"Jerry's got one in his sword," Gary pointed out.
"Yeah, well, that's Jerry. I have no idea how he did that, and I'm not sure I want to know."
"I'm scared to ask," Gary admitted. "Mostly because I know he'd answer." Inanna laughed.
"So what do I need to know as far as weaknesses and strengths about this thing?"
"Well, they're not particularly tough, as I recall, but bear in mind that I was a goddess, the last time I dealt with one. That being said, I don't foresee you being unable to take it down. They don't have any particular weaknesses, except fearless resolve. Children have chased them off before, by confronting them that way. You can physically injure it, so long as you're flooding your body with magic, which I think you'd be doing as a matter of course, right?"
"Ayup. Being able to benchpress a Buick does come in handy in a fight." Inanna nodded.
"Good," she said. "Specific strengths are that they can get in your head. Like, real easily. And they have a certain degree of precognition. That being said, they're not intelligent, though they can speak."
"So what advice do you have?"
"Hmm," Inanna said, rubbing her chin. "Don't plan to keep it out with a mental shield, because it'll slip right around it. Instead, let it in, then confront it with fearless resolve. I don't think that'll be an issue for you. Inside your head, you can hurt the thing. In fact, it's more vulnerable there than physically, because it can make its form incorporeal, which makes fighting it tricky. Fire was the preferred method, back in the day. If you fight it physically, I strongly suggest using a wet blanket on it, right off the bat. That will keep it from going incorporeal entirely, but its ability to do so is very deeply seated, so it'll still be able to thin its form out as a tactic."
"Make my bullets pass right through it?" Gary asked. Inanna nodded and tapped the tip of her nose. "Like I said, fire works. I know you figured out how to throw a fireball, so that. Your sword and shield should be pretty effective, too. The magic in them should bypass its abilities, and you can ignite the blade, in any event.
"If you fight it in your mind, it's much simpler. Just don't be afraid, do be determined and beat the shit out of it. It'll put up quite a fight, because it knows how to work in a mental landscape, but I'm sure you can handle it."
Gary nodded. "All righty. Sounds good. So we're agreed that this is the place we'll redirect the thing to?"
"Yeah. We don't want to leave the sort of magical carnage behind in that house. All sorts of spiritual creepy crawlies might spring out of it."
Gary stood. "Let's go explain the plan to them, and then we can get started." Inanna stood as well.
----
They pulled back into the park just before sunset. The ritual at the house had been completed. Suzanne was sitting between them, her foster parents gone to spend the night with one of the other foster families, safe and sound under the watchful eye of a wizard who knew what to look for and two hardasses from the security division, just in case.
"Awwright, now you just wait right here, Darlin'," Gary said to Suzanne. He unclipped his troll doll and handed it to her. "This is Tootsie. Now, he may not look like much, but he's a real shit-kicker, you hear me?" He finished with a wink that made Suzanne smile briefly.
"He'll keep you safe. We're gonna be right out there, working some magic. You'll be able to see us the whole time. I'm gonna lock you in, but leave the windows cracked. If anything bad happens, you just go ahead and scream at the top of your lungs, and we'll come running, and lay down some justified hate on whoever's doing you wrong. Assuming, that is, that Tootsie ain't ground 'em into sausage by the time we get here."
Suzanne took the troll doll with another quick smile. "Okay," she said.
Gary and Inanna got out.
There was a young lady still in the park, all by herself. She was talking on the phone and sipping some kind of iced coffee drink from a Starbucks cup.
"Want me to ask her to leave?" Inanna asked.
"Naw, I got this. Ya might wanna listen though," Gary said with a mischievous wink. He walked over to the bench the girl was sitting on and sat next to her, leering. She recoiled a little and pressed her phone to her shoulder.
"Can I help you?" she asked, her voice snobby.
"Are you from Mississippi?" Gary asked. "Cuz' yer the only Miss whose piss I wanna sip."
"Fucking pervert!" the young woman cried with a disgusted expression. She quickly stood and hurried out of the park, chased down the block by Inanna's laughter.
"You were right, I'm so glad I listened to that."
"Heh," Gary chuffed. "Last time I had to do that, I just rubbed my beard and told her that her kids were cute. Real fucking cute. Worked just as well, though. I think I like this way, better."
Inanna shuddered and shook her head sadly. "Gary, if I didn't know you were a teddy bear, that one would disturb me." Gary chuckled as she began to undress for the ritual. She peeled her shirt off to reveal a surprise; she was wearing a bra. After kicking off her shoes, Gary got a another shock when she peeled her pants down to reveal a pair of underwear.
It was lacy, tiny underwear with a string instead of a back, but still.
"Sheeit," Gary said. "Never thought I'd see you wearing drawers. Or an over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder, neither."
Inanna chuckled. "Well, Jerry rubs off on me just as much a I rub off on him. And we rub each other off plenty. Besides, things got a little weird when Swaim and Aaina became friends. Both of us ladies in the house have taken to wearing underwear, the past year or so."
"How's she doing? She still having nightmares?" Gary asked. Inanna pulled her bra off and then her panties followed, and she neatly folded all of them and placed them on the bench next to Gary.
"Yeah, she is," she said with a wince. "I think they're getting less common. But it's still most nights."
"Can't blame her," Gary said. "She got blooded by accident. Has reason to believe one of the men she killed maybe didn't deserve it."
"She's got a lot of guilt over both," Inanna said. "But she's open about it, which is good. Her and Jerry have gotten a little closer, if you can believe that's possible."
"I hardly can," Gary quipped. Inanna nodded. "They've been having long talks on the back porch from time to time. They seem to be helping."
"You got yourself a damn fine man, Inanna."
"I really did," she said with a wistful sigh. "And I can't fuck his brains out tonight, because we're busy."
"I feel that," Gary said, picturing Chris' face, contorted in ecstasy in his mind. Oh well. They'd just have even more fun, tomorrow night.
"I asked Sookie to come over," Inanna went on. "She's the only one he'll fool around with when I'm not there."
"That don't make you jealous none?" Gary asked. Sookie regularly hit on Chris, and though Gary knew Chris would never betray him, he still felt a twinge every time she did.
Inanna shrugged, an evil grin spreading on her features. "It does, but a little jealousy hurts less than the thought of giving him the slightest reprieve."
Gary barked another laugh out. "I feel a pang of pity for him, from time to time."
"Don't bother. He protests all the time, but I know he loves it. Hell, when he lost his memory, the first thing he did was run off and start a sex cult."
"Point taken. So that's what it is, then? You think he's got a bigger libido than he lets on?"
"Oh yeah. Even when we first met, and he was acting terrified. He begged Sarisa for help, and instead of trying to calm me down, she offered to make sure he could keep up with me, and he jumped at that opportunity. And he's only gotten a bigger appetite, since. He's just too shy to admit it."
Gary shook his head. "Girl, I swear, I don't really get where you two are coming from. But I love the both of yas, and ya both love each other, and that's all I need to know."
Inanna smiled and kissed him on the forehead. "You're the best, Gary," she said.
"Ugh, girl cooties," Gary responded with a wink.
Inanna walked over to the open space and spread her arms, so Gary dug into his wells and began to push power into her. She paced around, muttering to herself and waving her arms around. Gary didn't really get what she was doing, but he could see the effects. She was leaving a complex weaving of magic behind her. It was magic that felt like a home, full of warmth and love, but with an undercurrent of fear. It was a home in which something horrible had happened, and a family was trying to move on, relying on each other to do so.
When she finished the first weaving, she began to move again, this time around a smaller area. Gary saw the result with both his physical and magical eyes, this time. A child's bed, with Suzanne curled up in it. It was a masterful illusion, something that probably even Yarm couldn't match, thanks to Inanna's incomparable experience.
Gary continued to feed her power as she took her time, getting every detail right. When she finally seemed satisfied with the bed, she stood and quickly wove the last part. A trap, that would bring any spiritual being that triggered the magic back at the house to this place. The illusion she had woven would keep it here, thinking it was still in the home, long enough for Gary to kill it.
"Okay," she said. Gary noticed that she was dripping with sweat, despite the cool night.
"Took a lot out of ya?" he asked quietly as she held a hand out to him. He produced a towel from hammerspace and handed it over.
"Yeah, thanks," she dried herself off, then sat on the bench. "I'm gonna let my core cool off a bit, or I'll just sweat through my clothes."
"Take your time," he said, glancing over at Old Bess, where he could see Suzanne holding up the troll doll and speaking to it. She seemed contented enough.
"God, that kills me," she said between deep breaths. "I can't wait for Jerry to figure out what's wrong with my magic. Getting it back the human way is such a pain in the ass."
Gary put a hand on her knee in comfort, thought twice about that, and then moved it to her shoulder.
"Got me excited there for a second," Inanna said with a wink.
"Heh. As I understand it, the last time Jerry thought you and I might bump uglies, that turned into quite the shit-storm."
"Yeah," Inanna sighed. "I was a lot more insecure back then. Plus, the fact that it was Sarisa..."
Gary bit his tongue, thinking of more recent events. Inanna glanced at him, then narrowed her eyes.
"What," she demanded.
"Nothin," Gary said. "And just cause you know it ain't actually nothing don't mean you can pry it out of me, so don't make shit weird."
"Oh for fuck's sake," Inanna said. "Come on, Gary. I know about the bro code, but just... Fuck."
A light bulb veritably lit up over her head. "Wait, is this about Avarisa?"
Gary looked away.
"Ahh," Inanna said with a sigh of relief. "I already knew about that." She chuffed a laugh. "Imagine Jerry trying to keep that kind of secret."
"Heh, good point. You okay with it, though?"
"Well, I mean, it bothers me a lot more than the thought of him sleeping alone or slamming Sookie up the shitter, but I mean... He thought I was dead. And she was... Well, she couldn't resist. I hate to say it, because I think I mistreated her, but I'm kinda glad she's gone. It's easier, this way."
Gary nodded. "Well, I'm glad you knew, I guess."
"I made myself look like her, a couple weeks ago," Inanna said. "He wouldn't touch me till I changed back."
"Fuckin' hell," Gary laughed. "I guess that sounds like Jerry."
Inanna stood and gave herself another wipe down with the towel. She picked up her bra, pulling it on and adjusting herself. It took a lot of adjusting, because there was a lot to adjust. Then she pulled her panties on. She quickly got her pants, shirt and shoes back on, and then adjusted her gun to sit comfortably.
"Okay, let's get back before it gets too late."
"Ya forgot yer buttplug," Gary said mildly. Inanna laughed.
"I can't believe you didn't notice just now, but I've been wearing it all day, Gary. Come on, I thought you knew me?"

Yikes.
This is dramatic, I know. I have been single for over 4 years. I'm almost 97% sure my ex bf was talking to other women online, possibly flirting and other things. Anways, I talked to guys off dating apps and even got my first number last weekend. Thought I hit the jackpot of meeting all sorts of men, and when I got the number I felt like "oh hey, maybe you arent as bad as you make it seem" never once has this guy given me a compliment, he told me I was "nice". He was drunk when he got my number, so the thought stands. Maybe he found me attractive when he initially met me, but then had second thoughts when he met me for a date when he wasn't drunk like I looked better when he was drunk. I still found him insanely attractive when i met him. He was "surprised" I had met him go to lunch. He said how the other females he met were flakey. He did pay for me, and we have been texting but yesterday I didn't hear from him. And whenever I do hear from him, it's hours and hours apart.
I've been talking to a few other guys whom the distance is far enough away that they don't want to travel that far. I asked a guy to get food, and he said, "I would, but the distance is too much," so why continue talking to me?
It hurts because I've seen men travel hours every weekend to see their significant other. My brother drives 2 hours to see his girlfriend every Wednesday and weekend.
When I went on that "date" I complimented him (not too much, just gave him compliments) and I know people are weird sometimes about compliments but I feel like if he was interested he would've said "you look amazing".
I sometimes feel that if I lost weight, I wouldn't have to deal with this. It really sucks, and knowing you're good enough to send selfies to or for a limited amount of time to chat or for sex, but to want a relationship with me is Ludacris. I am about ready to give up. It's gotten to the point where I don't believe in love, I actually never did, but I had carried hope there for a while.
It really seems like no one else around me has any issues besides me and the plus-size women. It leads me to believe men don't like bigger women as much as they claim. I just never seen it.

Hello ladies,
I wanted to share my story in the hopes this will give at least some of you a bit more comfort going into your surgery. I found there were lots of negative post surgery experiences here and in the wider realms of the internet, so I thought I should probably share a positive one too! I am now Day 10 post-op.
Surgery type: Laparoscopic myomectomy
Insurance: Private. Pre-diagnosis, ladies, not to sound like I am advertising private insurance, but even if you have a tiny inkling something might be wrong (but haven't been to the docs yet and no diagnosis), get private insurance - it gives you a bit of security that even if nothing is wrong you could have had the opportunity to get medical attention fastebetter quality.
Age: 32
Fitness level: High/athletic - I do lots of gym-ing, running, surfing, skating, cycling. I was a bit overweight in my early 20ties (not massively so, maybe like 2kgs over my BMI), so after my ovarian cyst surgery I was paranoid to get PCOS so I really changed my lifestyle around and got into sports, which now has turned into a lifestyle I can't really live without!
Living situation: Live on my own in a rural town, but close friends live nearby.
Previous surgery: Ovarian cyst surgery where they also had to remove my ovary (very large cyst) circa 10 years ago. Didn't have any symptoms back then even, just thought I had IBS (which I think a lot of us do) - turns out there was a cyst the size of a small basketball growing on my ovary, and they had to remove both...which sucks of course, but when your in your early 20ties you don't really think about how this may affect your future ability to have kids. Mine was an emergency surgery performed after I went to ER with crazy gas pain in tummy, in a foreign country, so overall this whole experience was really traumatic emotionally and I am still dealing with the aftermath of this.
Symptoms before surgery: No real symptoms - normal periods, bit of bloating (assumed IBS), bit of hormonal acne here and there. Been on birth control pill since my ovarian cyst surgery, so keeping hormones in check through that.
Diagnosis: I pulled what I thought was a hernia at the gym, went to GP, got a ultrasound which funnily enough found nothing, so they attributed it to a one off random told me to ease off exercise for a couple of weeks and start again. However, I instinctively knew something was wrong with my body, so TRUST YOUR GUT LADIES! Because I had a previous cyst and my ovary removed circa 10 years ago I got into real panic mode about my fertility, so I requested a referral to a OBGYN in case there was an issue with my other ovary. Note ladies, private insurance if you live in a country where healthcare is horrible is so important. I saw the OBGYN within a week, if that wasn't the case I would have needed to wait about 6-12 months to see one on the public system. OBGYN sent me for another ultrasound (this time transvaginal) and they originally didn't see any problem, but by the end of the app, they weren't quite sure what they had seen (useful, I know), so OBGYN sent me for an MRI. MRI found 1 med-large fibroid on uterus. I then had a long chat with OBGYN as to the best treatment type, and because of my age and the desire to have children she recommended removal through laparoscopic surgery.
Fibroid numbetype: 1 med-large subserosal fibroid 7cm, and the surgeon found two others ( 1 x 4cm and 1 x 1cm) during my surgery (did not see them on the MRI, I know crazy!). OBGYN also now suspects I have adenomyosis, which is something I will have to deal with once I have recovered from surgery. I know, fun!
Day of surgery: Had to only wait a month between my app with OBGYN and surgery (again, thanks insurance). Hospital was boujie as (had never been in private hopsital) and everything from the admission to surgery just felt like a well oiled machine which was really good to keep the stress levels down. I had my friend there with me and we chatted all the way until I got rolled away for surgery. Surgery lasted about 2 hrs.
Waking up post-surgery: I woke up to see 2 nurses monitoring my vitals, and they rolled me to my room where my friend was waiting. I was pretty out of it and asked some silly question to my friend, which I am sure she loved sharing with our friend group. I had an afternoon surgery so I was in my room by dinnertime, but believe you me I did not want to eat anything. I drank lots of water overnight, and they kept coming in to check my vitals and give me pain and anti-nausea meds + laxatives and some other stuff that helps with heartburn etc.
Day 1 post op: In hospital, had a bit to eat for brekkie (eggs - high protein), they took my catheter out from my lady parts, so I can pee by myself. Didn't hurt at all taking it out (also they put the catheter in while you're under so you feel nothing). Went for my first pee, went for a little ponder round hospital (about 5mins in the hallways), and spent the rest of day watching series, reading etc. Pain was totally fine, and I was just on paracetamols etc., didn't need anything stronger. Had pretty bad nausea, but they kept me topped up for that. Lots of sleeping, but generally because of the pain meds I didn't feel any pain at all! Getting in and out of bed was a bit hard, but I have really strong arms from surfing so i was able to push myself up quite easily. Every hour or so, I tried to get up and do a couple of laps (5-10min) in the hallway. Because I was doing fine and was mobile, I could do this by myself, but there were lots of people who did the same thing but needed to be accompanied by a nurse. Drink lots of water gals, this will help with triggering your need to pee independently and getting your bowels moving, and also helps flush your body.
Important things to make your stay at hospital more comfy: Loose low rise sweatpants - I actually bought a pair a size too big so it was more comfy. Oversized t-shirts and jumpers, something you can easily put over the catheter in your arm. I-pad (life saver for me, I could catch up on netflix), magazines or crosswords. I had a book, but my brain was deffos not ready to engage while I was still in hospital. Electrolyte drinks - these were incredible and really helped to get my bowels moving too! Heat wrap - they had some in the hospital, and they're essential pain relief for anesthetic leaving your body pain (my right shoulder was in pain) - they kept heating it up round the clock which was so GOOD.
Day 2: Discharge day/first day at home - they would not discharge me until I had a bowel movement, so I was drinking water like crazy to help trigger some gut movement. Otherwise you will have to shove pills up your bum to get the party started. Luckily for me all of my drinking, and eating regular, yet small meals during Day 1 did the trick! My friend came to pick me up and we had a 2 hrs drive to get home, and this was not something I had thought about before. This was probably the worst part of my entire experience. I was so motion sick the entire way home, that the car had to be made into a freezer (AC pumping) and I had to do deep breathing all the way home not to throw up (which I did when I got home, but thankfully not in caon roadside). Once I got home, I pretty much just dropped into my bed and slept for about 5 hrs. I threw up once, while clutching a pillow to my abdomen to make it hurt less. Did some small walks around the house, friends dropped off some food, so I didn't have to cook or anything. People dropped in really regularly to check on me. My friends bought me heat packs for shoulder pain (still from anesthetic and gas leaving your body), and it was the best.
Day 3: Started day off with small walk outside to the post box and back, felt exhausted afterwards, but with little pain. I clutched a soft pillow to my abdomen while doing so (just felt more comfortable this way). I was managing with paracetamol every 6 hours, irrespective of whether I felt in pain or not. This is what docs advised on discharge. I had no pain really, discomfort in my tummy area sure, mainly just felt odd with the stiches. What I found hardest was breathing while walking (I know, weird right), I felt really out of breath every time I tried to go for a longer walk (200m plus). I just listened to my body and stopped when this happened, while also attempting to increase the length I walked bit by bit to train my lungs. Bowel movement back to normal pretty much, some light bleeding (doc said this is normal), but stomach was huge (as in 6 month pregnant huge). I called my doc as I was concerned about why it's so large, she said it's normal and swelling should subside in a couple of weeks (yikes!). I was drinking lots of water (2-3L a day), and eating a primarily veggie & high protein diet. I cut dairy, red meat an processed foods out during my recovery as I had read this helps. Ate a lot of kiwi fruit to help my bowels. Overall, by day 3 I did some light house work and did about 2 hrs of work (e-mails etc.)
Day 4: Walked about 1km in the morning, felt tired after so took a nap. Pain almost completely gone, bowels normal, no more spotting/bleeding. Feeling almost normal (ish). Did some housework, couple hours of work. Another 1km walk later in the arvo. Diet still restricted to protein, fibre, no dairy, no red meat and not processed foods.
Day 5: Dropped my meds, as I did not feel pain at all, my stomach felt fine, and tummy swelling had gone down. Felt okay all day, bit bloated, but walking really helped. Did about 2km walk in mooning and 2km walk in arvo, with small stints of walking around the house all day. Still more tired than normal, so lots of resting & naps.
Days 6-10: Nearly back to normal (well normal-ish) - no pain, everything regular, have been off painkillers for 5 days. Introduced dairy back into diet, felt fine. Had an ice cream :) Increased walk length to 3-5kms per walk (2 x daily) - feeling puffed still, lungs still feeling exhausted during walking but getting better every day. Have been doing about 5-6 hrs of work each day, while still taking lots of mini break for naps and resting.
Day 10: (today) - OBGYN has cleared me for short drives with car (initially she said 3 weeks no driving), as I have been off pain meds for over 5 days and feeling fit and alert. I feel almost normal to be honest, the area where the stiches are feels a bit tender, and still a bit swollen, but swelling has gone down heaps. Hoping to keep upping my walk distances and that my lungs will catch up slowly.
Something I really struggled with: Emotionally, I was a bit of a wreck after surgery. The additional diagnosis of adenomyosis really left me questioning whether I will be able to have children in the future, so I had a good cry with my friends about it (whom immediately jumped in to be surrogates). I'm trying to not think about it too much during recovery, but it's something that is heavily weighing on my mind as one of the main 'side effects' is infertility. I am hopefully going to see a fertility specialist after I have recovered to talk about my options. Obvs doesn't help that I am single, but I am so ready to be a mom (emotionally and financially), so am I ready to explore what else is out there for me to hopefully start on a journey that will lead me towards a wee addition to my solo independent lady family.
Also, I struggled with just being and home and not doing ANYTHING. I am normally really active and exercise helps me to relieve stress and sleep better, so not being able to do that has been driving me up the wall. I am very lucky to be self employed so I have no pressure from anyone else to get back to work, but I feel guilty for doing little work for over 10 days. I'm a workaholic, so it's really hard for me to 'just rest.' I will hopefully go back to working full time from next week, but I will really need to check myself to not be 'overdoing' it and set myself back in recovery.
Key takeaways: If you feel up for it, get up and start doing small walks as soon as you can after surgery - this well help get your bowels moving and heal faster. Drink lots of water! Eat a diet that's high in protein & fibre (pre and post op for sure), cut out dairy, red meat and processed food if you can. I am a young fit adult and this really helped with recovery as my body is trained to be under stress and has a high pain threshold, by being fit my recovery is up to 3-5 faster than an average person. Even if you're not fit now, there's a lot of studies (goggle them, I kid you not) suggesting that physical training before surgery, like gym exercises or running boosts the odds of a good outcome, so if you've got your surgery scheduled for a couple of months time see if you can incorporate some exercise in your daily routine.
Also you might be okay psychically, but it's okay if you feel like a mess emotionally. A good network of close females was so important for me. I cried, I laughed and I felt supported by them in allowing me to talk through my emotional trauma, especially relating to the potential fertility issues in the future. Anything to do with woman's health for me has been so hard to talk about, as it feels so personal, and you feel less of a 'normal female' if you have fertility issues. Most of my life I have been trying to avoid even thinking about it, so it felt so nice to just let it all out! I really hope you all have those people in your life you can open up to and be vulnerable around!
Having the support of close friends/family will be key while you're in hospital and for the first week or so - I could have never done this without my close friend group, they were with me at the hospital and took turns bringing food and drink and attending to most of my whims while I was at home, so make sure you have some support with you during this time!
Anyways, I hope my essay helped someone - I think I can put my good experience down to 3 simple factors: excellent pre-existing fitness, private health insurance and having a good movement regime/diet structure post-surgery.

Hey all, for about five days I've been having symptoms including on and off arthritis in hands/knuckles/knees/feet, tingling that goes all over the place, chills/sweating, gastro issues, and tons of fatigue and malaise.
Three symptoms I have NOT had: bullseye rash, fever (97 degrees every time I check), or swollen lymph nodes. As a result, my doctor doesn't want to prescribe antibiotics until I get tested for more tick borne diseases in my area.
I don't recall getting bitten, but lyme is endemic to my area. I've been tested for Lyme but it came back negative, as well as a general panel for other metabolic issues, also negative.
Anyone ever not had a fever during early disseminated or late disseminated? It's really weird.

I have an idea for a build based on a stereotypical sweaty PvP build in Elden Ring. There are of course a number of sweaty playstyles, but for me the archetypal build is a Bull Goat dual-spear bleed build with BHS/quickstep, even post-BHS nerf. This will often use Bloodflame Blade to get the bleed build-up, as well as Flies spam to get people to panic roll.
So here's what I'm thinking!
Race: VHuman, as the Tarnished is human, and it's the sweaty choice for DnD as well, and the Dual Wielder feat helps right away to dual-wield spears.
Stats: S 15+1 D 10 C 14 I 8 W 14+1 C 8
Starting off as a Fighter for heavy armor and Defense, and go to 3 for Battlemaster. We'll need Lunging Attack to roll-catch panic rollers, Riposte to poise-trade often with our high AC, and Brace to backstep and lunch at anyone chasing us down.
That covers Bull Goat and basic combat, now lets get Bloodflame Blade by going Blood Hunter.
We'll take TWF to be able to dual wield better, and Muddled Mind blood curse to help interrupt the Ranni simps' spells. We will ofc take Rite of Flame as well.
At lv3 going Profane Soul and Fiend lets us reroll 1s and 2s on the d4 rite die, meaning basically always above-average rolls there. This gets less useful the bigger the die gets, so I think it actually works to jump back out here. We'll also take Infestation and Hex, other cantrip and spell don't matter much I think. Infestation fits the blood flies, and Hex is just damage for until we get our Arcane up.
Fighter 4 Fey Touched to round up Wis, get some BHS, and Bless(ing of the Erdtree). Fighter 5 Extra Attack.
Then, I think going into Forge Cleric will help add some more cheese. 1 level gets us an extra point of AC and Searing Smite. 3 levels gets us more uses of Misty/Bloodhound Step. 6 levels gets us another point of AC, fire res, and Spirit Shroud. The ASI from Cleric 4 could go towards stats, but the most important stat is Vigor, so Tough here is thematic.
Going the rest in Fighter will help with more and better superiority die, more maneuvers, max out Str, and a third attack.
So, at lv20, we got 4 attacks per round, 7 with Action Surge, which all do 1d6 piercing, 1d4 fire with rerolls, 1d8 radiant with SS, +5 Str, and another possible d10 with a maneuver, which is kinda fun because you're rolling one of almost all of the damage dice. This requires 2 rounds of setup for SS and rites for both spears, but this is probably an invasion build and you have enough iframes to get set up. Anyone who gets close to us has reduced speed, and we have reach when needed to catch up, plus teleportation (spamming BHS). We have Cleric Spells and Second Wind for some estus. AC is 22 without a shield, and we have just short of 200 hp.
I think this build works great as a frontline fighter with support options, but also captures the spirit of rigorously adhering to metas by making meta choices itself within DnD while resembling the meta in ER. Of course, playing this build faithfully requires forgoing the good support options to just buff yourself.
Would love to hear any ways to make this build more toxic!
