8 arrested in anti human trafficking

This post may be sort of an am I the asshole sort of thing, but it is about DnD.
We are 8 sessions in to a campaign with a total of 7 players. I created a variant human, dex, dual wielding ex-pirate fighter because it sounded like a fun character. His alignment is good as he is trying to make up for the evil pirate acts. He has 10 str, 16 dex, 16 con, 8 wis, 8 int, and 14 cha.
We reached level 3 at the end of last session and the DM wanted everyone to send their character sheet again. He noticed on mine that my armor is 45 pounds, which is close to my encumbrance. I was confused and he explained that he is using a variant rule. He said he mentioned it before, which he may have, but it was never actually used in game. He had my character sheet from level 1 which was encumbered with medium armor, two rapiers, and random misc items. 49 of my 50 pounds with this rule was just my armor and two weapons.
I said if he was steadfast on this rule, I'd like to either change my current character to STR or roll a new character. I already felt less useful than everyone else because my attribute values were less. That's my fault because I used the standard array rather than rolling like everyone else. They all ended with at least one 18 or even 2 18s. I never brought that up before because it was a choice I made on my stats. However, I mentioned that, with enforcing the encumbrance rule, it would make me even weaker. My speed would either be reduced by 10 ft or my AC reduced.
His next email suggested I was overly focused on numbers, I want to get my way every time, that I was trying to not give anything up with my character build, and that I may not be a good fit for the group. I say suggest because he never directly said those things. He said he would never understand the style of play that is entirely focused on numbers, something has to give in a dex build, every player doesn't always get what they want, and that he thinks it won't be a good fit if my response to DM rulings is to roll a new character.
Now this did frustrate me because those remarks are insulting and don't do justice to the thought I put into making my character. A dex based build is giving up plenty. Most skills are cha, int, or wis based. This build isn't breaking the game. I have an AC of 17, 31 hp, and can deal 1d8+3 damage with one action then another with a bonus action with a +5 to hit for each. Nothing crazy about that. It's more of a midway between straight damage or tank, so it gives up some of both.
I never asked to reroll a character before or roll a new character in response to past disagreements. The only past disagreement was about another player pickpocketing mine, but I never said I wanted a new character. I asked if that would continue to be allowed and if I could have some way to combat it if it will be allowed. He just decided it won't be allowed.
This is getting too long. My questions are:
How do people feel about this rule?
Does my character seem like I'm trying to give him everything?
Is it unreasonable for me to at the very least want to make my character str based?
I probably won't be playing with this group anymore since it appears the DM thinks very poorly of me. I've been trying to think if I have been acting like this terrible person he thinks of me and don't think I have been. I'm obviously biased, though. Hoping some more feedback will help me with deciding if more retrospection is required on my part.

Sorry if this is a stupid question or is asked frequently idk anything about dc comics I was just curious and that's why I am asking here.
So what I want to know is how do they work like does it require something to work? or just by knowing them u can use them, like can a simple human just by Knowing the anti-life equation or the speed force formula simply chant it out loud or write in a piece of paper then read it and gain access to their power? or does it require something else.

Hi! Sorry if this kind of post is all too common, but I wanted to share my situation because I’ve changed my mind lots over the years but medical school has always rested in the back of my mind due to my extensive history of surgeries and injuries and spending time in a hospital as a patient and speaking with doctors and surgeons of all different specialties.
I majored in Chem at a community college first year out of high school, got academic suspension due to my low (<2) GPA (I was dealing with certain life struggles at the time). Luckily I had to take the following year off anyways for a big surgery. I then entered the Education combined degree program and got a 3.2 my first year and a 3.6 my second, with a science major in Kinesiology. It was during this time I found my love for human physiology and anatomy. My 4th year of school (this past one) I switched majors into just BSc of KNES and got 3.8 my first semester and 3.3 my second (I suffered a bicycle accident and couldn’t walk for 4 months which slightly affected my work). Now I have just one year remaining before I graduate undergrad.
This year I’ll be in some very heavy courses and I’m prepared to put my head down and apply myself truly and seriously, because I’m the cliche “I don’t study and get A’s and B’s and go about my life”. I haven’t developed the work ethic but I’m prepared to set the tone this final year and move forwards. I want to impress myself and do better than just get good grades, I want to become obsessed and driven because I feel the spark.
What I want to know is what should I do during my final year of studies in undergrad (mostly all physiology science courses) — besides developing a solid study and work ethic — to prepare myself for the MCATs and applying to schools? I understand high GPA is important, but is it completely deterministic on acceptance? If I got sub-3.9 GPA in my previous 3 years of undergrad but get a 4.0 in my final year, does that count for something?
Also, would volunteer hours at hospitals during my undergrad help during the interview process?

I don't know how people can hold the MAX series up as the end-all-be-all of Punisher stories yet still believe that Frank's actions are a product of grief, or that what he does is in any way just.
The days of Punisher being this dark, benevolent anti-hero are not only long gone, but antiquated. The old stories reek of Reagan-era morality. "Yeah, Frank's murdering people, but they're drug dealers and hardened criminals!" Never mind the fact that crime keeps coming back and Frank does nothing to investigate why.
Writers like Ennis and Aaron are right to make Frank a homicidal brute because it's a notion that's been engraved in his character since the beginning. Does Frank usually go after CEOs or politicians? Nope. Does Frank try to take down arms manufacturers for a change instead of arms dealers? Not. Does Frank ever help someone in a situation that doesn't involve murdering someone? Nada.
Surely, there are exceptions, but that's all they are, exceptions. I'm not expecting Marvel to write about Frank Castle at the soup kitchen because that wouldn't be entertaining. The Punisher is supposed to punish people, he needs to keep doing that! But we're not in the 80s anymore. Writing a story where Frank just goes to Mexico and finishes off the cartel would not only be insensitive but also childish from what we expect out of Marvel comics today.
Marvel doesn't write the Citizen Kane of comics, but their material has grown more nuanced and mature over time, because the audience has as well. Kids and preteens aren't picking up comics anymore, and there's so much more to be entertained by these days, that the need for quality storytelling is through the roof. The old story where everything is fixed by a knuckle-sandwich or a bullet to the head has been done to death. There needs to be more depth.
The Punisher we've had since the 2000s provides that depth. Frank is still a tragic man, but he's not only tragic in the obvious sense that he's lost his family, but also lost his humanity as well. The Frank we have knows he'll never defeat crime, and he doesn't care. But at the same time, he's never satisfied. Killing is the one thing he knows, yet it can never fill the void in his soul. That's plenty tragic enough, it makes more sense, and it gives him a complexity he didn't have before.
In closing, I ask this: do we have to admire all our protagonists? Because that's the trend I notice. Saying Frank should remain a family man gone bad, that it was the war that did him in, and that his upbringing shouldn't be used to explain what he does all share one common theme: removing responsibility from Frank. Think of all the media that exists out there where we follow the villain: Breaking Bad, Harley Quinn, etc. I see no reason as to why Frank should be any different, and if people stopped putting him on a pedestal, maybe he wouldn't have to be written off.

Knock-down reasons?
NO. In fact, a few are variations on weak arguments that will already be familiar from discussions of UFOs. But imo there's a case here that it's rational to withhold judgment for now.

1. Not peer reviewed. The reported claims have not been examined by the scientific community at large. Even if some Pentagon employees really are fully convinced they have a crashed UFO, still they might be wrong.
2. Potential for sophisticated deception. State actors have many potential motives to create elaborate UFO-related hoaxes. They also have incredible means. Such counter-intel work could be a matter of national security, as with the apparent "red mercury" hoax surrounding nuclear weapons. Anyway, if Lockheed Martin made a multi-million dollar effort to create something that appeared to be a piece of alien wreckage, science would struggle to ever unravel the truth.
3. Miraculous secrecy. The claims reported would constitute pretty much the only information that a government has tried to keep secret that has so far had never been revealed (except potentially by Lazar). This despite the fact that the US has experienced numerous extensive, uncontrolled leaks over the past 40 years - also despite the fact that several governments supposedly maintaining secrecy on this subject have fallen apart (Soviet Union, Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany, etc). Even top priority secrets like nuclear weapon, missile, and submarine technologies have transferred almost willy nilly since the fall of the Soviet Union - yet there's no evidence that word of alien artifacts ever has. You've heard this one: the many people working on alien technology would have all had to keep silent (except again Lazar) despite the importance of this matter to science and the human race at large. Well now we'd be talking about thousands of individuals from around the world keeping the secret across decades.
4. Just artifacts, no technologies. No important known technologies have been developed by reverse engineering alien stuff. Major innovations like agriculture, digital computing, silicon chips, stealth aircraft, high-bypass jet engines, carbon nanotubes, fiber optics, genetic engineering, cheap orbital rockets, thermonuclear bombs, etc etc are all verifiably human developed - they all have long, publicly documented development histories. Our consumer chemistry and energy sectors are what you'd expect from pouring oil on humans, no need for alien intervention. Meanwhile apparently no alien tech insights are expected: the Pentagon has been making decades-long commitments to invest trillions in familiar human technologies like the F-35, B21, NGAD, and conventional orbital rockets.
5. Just artifacts, no organisms. There's been NO significant, enduring biological contamination of earth. This is a fairly well-studied topic. It's just us here: the life that came about 4 billion years ago. It'd be amazing luck to escape forward biological contamination while also receiving significant accidentally-crashed technological contamination.
6. Unexplained numbers. Why aren't these items more common? There are literally millions of stone tools made by humans lying on the ground in Africa. Stuff accumulates over time. Why have such items arrived recently but not intermittently across the history of earth? Or if this isn't just a recent phenomenon, why aren't there larger numbers of these artifacts by now?
7. No public discoveries. There are no cases of people coming forward with seemingly alien artifacts. Why isn't bumping into alien parts a thing that happens on at least rare occasion - like how people sometimes stumble upon a nugget of gold or dig a hole and find mammoth tusks? The Voynich manuscript, the Antikythera mechanism, meteors from Mars, etc have all surfaced and been reported on. But there's no instance of someone running to Christies with a piece of inexplicable technology only for the men in black to arrive.
8. No contemporary collections. There's noone out there in any jurisdiction with a publicly known-about collection of artifacts that have no obvious human origin - no museum, no institutional collection. How would defense communities have gotten such a stranglehold on these items? How would they maintain that globally, wherever they're found?
9. No historical collections. People have never had anything like alien artifacts. Meteoric iron falls from the sky on rare occasion. Its use is widespread in ancient civilizations. But noone was running around with advanced alloys or inexplicable silicon chips. There are no parts of alien spacecraft well-attested in the historical record.
10. Inexplicably polite visitors. Why hasn't anyone ever taken our stuff - for example, before we evolved? Gold deposits we're mining now were provably untouched since they got here. Same with many other resources on earth and beyond. There are highly unusual M-class asteroids in solar orbit out past Mars made of the rarest, most valuable materials just waiting to be exploited. If there are aliens around - if there have been aliens around potentially for quite a while - why didn't they ever take that stuff?

One aspect of the series that has been on my mind for a while is what exactly a repli-child is. The answer that is immediately brought up is a physical clone, which makes sense, as it would be a replica-child. That being said, this answer feels off when considering Vanadis Institute and Prospera's exile and nests awkwardly with Eri's meeting with Suletta in 18.
Vanadis Insititute's most secret creation at the time of its destruction was a Gundam Lfirth. Central to this, there seemed to be a consideration that Lfrith was a child and who was being taught by the staff there. An AI program or AI-like program seems to be the most likely reason for this.
The timeline for Prospera's exile brings into question the topic of cloning as well. Prospera growing and sacraficing 11 seperate physical clones of Eri to Aerial seems absurd to me, particularly given how heavily she grieves the loss of Eri in episode 18. The fact that Propsera had to do so in secrecy as well adds to this.
Amongst other facts we've learned in the show, I'm not certain that repli-children are physical clones as much as they are artificial intellegence cloned off of someone, in this case, Eri. A digitial cloning would be significantly easier to be kept secret, and falls right in line with Vanadis Institute's research in the prologue. This also brings to mind Prospera's comment of Eri waiting for them beyond the data storm.
Approaching Suletta in this context, episode 18's flashback seems to strongly suggest that Suletta is a repli-child who was placed into a physical form when Eri passed. Whether this body is a clone or artifically made using GUND technology isn't known yet, but given the context of repli-children being made to control GUND technology, Suletta's capacity for communicating with Aerial far beyond what anyone else could prior to P6-8 as well as her ability to pilot Aeriel exceptionally would fit because her mind was created with the intend to be able to pilot a mobile suit. Eri asking in Suletta (17 years old) remembers something from 17 years ago also makes sense if she was not just a human child at 17, but an artifical mind. The memory seen in Episode 18 in particular seemed to show Suletta growing red right after Eri passed and Aeriel lit up.
This theory is definetly not rock solid as much of it is set on assumptions or interpretations, particularly centered on the fact we do not know exactly what a repli-child even is. That being said however, the idea of Suletta being an artifical intellegence given personhood seems like it would fit very well into the series so far and could be a possibility.

If you like Crye combat gear, you will like UF Pro better. After trying UF Pro, my Cryes felt cheaply made and lacking on functionality so I got rid of them. UF Pro's pants have a lot of scalability built into them with the integrated multilevel knee pads, and multiple zipper mesh openings for heat management. Most important to me, the knee pads cannot be ripped out since their are in protected pockets and there is a windstop layer that UF Pro sells which can be added to the pants with ease for windy/colder climate.

I have an almost 7-month-old long hair mini doxie named Opal.
Keep this in mind as I'm telling you what's going on: Her potty & bowel movements have always been regular and her mood and behavior have not changed since I brought her home, if anything she's just gotten more mature, playful, outgoing, and loving.
Ever since I got her at 9 weeks, she's always been super picky about food and has never been excited to receive meals, just treats. She doesn't even really show interest in water, it's only when she really needs it. The breeder started her on the Purina puppy kibble food program before I picked her up and I continued on with it up until now. As I said, she's never been excited about eating, so I've even tried changing up the mix. I've tried adding little pieces of carrots (her fav treats are carrots and blueberries), bone broth, mixing the Purina puppy wet food with dry, and now currently I've been feeding straight-up Purina puppy wet food and it's still not getting her to eat. At one point I even tried changing the producer of the food and nothing. When I do try all these changes, she may be interested for maybe a day or sometimes just the first meal but after that, she doesn't want to touch it. As far as wet food goes, I split cans and put the remaining in the fridge so at first I thought she doesn't like cold food. I'd let it sit there for just 10 min or so just to get that initial cold out of the food all the while trying to build up her anticipation and excitement to eat and that didn't solve it. Then I started getting the smaller cans which would allow her to eat more freshly opened food and she doesn't even want it at room temp right out of the can.
Since day 1, she's gone to work with me and we're situated in my own little office, so I've made sure that her feeding area is safe, quiet, and completely her zone. Same at home. Our Mon-Thur routine starts with me waking up at 5 am, taking her to the bathroom, and then she falls back asleep while I shower and get ready for the day. We get to work a little after 6 and then she lays back down in her bed until about 730 or 8. Sometimes she likes to stay up when we get to work and play so then I'll feed her around 7ish because her last meal was at 6 pm, but I try aiming to feed her at 8 am every day.
It wasn't until about 6 or 7 weeks ago that she really just stopped eating on our routine and only started eating when she was starving. A few days go by and she skips breakfast at 8 am in this new phase. At 930 am she started throwing up yellow foamy bile, she did that about 4 times and then dry heaved another 3 or 4 times. But after that is over, she's back to her normal and playful self. I called the vet as soon as they opened at 10 am. They asked me to come in at the end of the day since she was showing no other signs, symptoms, or behavioral changes. I brought her in and the vet did his exam and wanted me to bring her back the next day because he wanted to run some blood work and do xrays of her intestinal tract to make sure it wasn't a blockage.
I drop her off the next day and long story short he tells me blood work came back perfect but he finds what he thinks is a blockage where the small and large intestine meet. He asks me the basic questions "Has she eaten anything or gotten into anything that she wasn't supposed to?", "What kind of toys does she have? Did anything come off the toys?". Opal is by my side 23/7. The hour that she's not with me is when she's sleeping in the morning and I'm doing my routine or other misc. That being said I watch her like a freakin hawk, I see everything that she gets into (which isn't much), and I monitor her playing with toys or certain treats. I'm very confident in saying that. The vet sends me home with some Laxatone to give to Opal 3 times a day for the next couple of days and told me to monitor her poops. AGAIN her poops have always stayed regular, even if she didn't eat, she would still poop 2 times a day.
Over the next couple of days, I gave her the Laxatone and nothing much changed for her other than softer poops. So we go in for another check-up and he wants to do another round of X-rays to see what's going on in there. Later on in the day he calls and says what he thinks is a blockage is still in the same spot, so they gave her some Barium Sulfate so they could trace that going through her with more X-ray$. The next morning Opal passed the Barium Sulfate along with regular stool because again, there's been no problem in the poop dept. I take her to the vet again the next day and he takes more X-ray$$$ and tells me that whatever he thought was a blockage has now moved into her colon so that's good news. So we go about our daily routine and I'm waiting for whatever the "blockage" is to come out. During the 2 routine poops that day, it was regular poop and what looked like a small tangled hairball but nothing to make me go holy cow, that was the blockage.
This whole ordeal with the vet lasted about a week and after when kept wanting to do more X-ray$$$$ I just told the front desk lady that I'm going to take Opal to get a 2nd opinion so please forward me her medical records and all the xrays that the doctor took. I called the 2nd vet and requested an appt. and they say they would need the medical records and they would contact Opal's original vet for them. The original vet took a week to get Opal's file together and produce the X-rays for the 2nd vet.
During that time, I discovered that if Opal eats breakfast then she doesn't throw up, but if she doesn't eat breakfast, she throws up around 9:30 am every single time and it's always yellow and foamy. Correct me if I'm wrong but when we humans go a long time without eating, some of us will feel nauseous, right? I'm thinking that the same thing is happening for Opal, but she is such a picky eater that she'll literally wait to eat until the nauseous feeling overpowers her to the point of actually vomiting. Now she doesn't even want to touch her bowl, she just tries scooting the area around it with her nose but never touches the bowl. As a last resort, I tried feeding her with a spoon right out of her bowl, bringing her closer and closer with every bite until she was eating over her bowl or at least picking at enough to put something in her stomach.
Trust me, it's the last habit I want to create with her but I don't want to have to deal with the vomit later and/or her not feeling good. Regardless if she eats or not, she stays the same Opal, just throws up if she doesn't eat breakfast. Strange thing is that Opal is the only one out of her litter and family lineage to be experiencing these symptoms. In the past month, she's thrown up 1 morning and that's because we slept in really late and she woke up hungry as hell I guess.
Has anyone else experienced anything similar?

Overall score 8/10
CGI 8/10
Music? God damn 10/10
Action 9/10
Characters 8/10
Pacing First act: Fast, but full of characters and emotion. We are introduced to the main human protagonists and they are both excellent. Mirage and Noah have very good chemistry, but their relationship felt a bit rushed.
Second act: Slower, sometimes maybe too slow, but still good with lots of character interactions.
Third act: non-stop action. Tons of fun. Great music. Great moments.
Very emotional scenes. The Terrorcons are bayverse level of evilness but they actually have characters. Battletrap barely speaks tho. The Maximals are great. Too bad Cheetor says just ONE line, and Rhinox it's just there, silent. Not enough Pablo. Hoped to see more, but I'm sure we will in the next movie.
Post credit: get ready for a big surprise if you are a Hasbro fan. I screamed "WHAT?!" and I barely know about that stuff.
Go see this movie. Critics are shit.
Also Optimus is a fucking menace god damn almost bayverse level lmfao

After having a talk with Sergeant Lyria Delara returned to her quarters where her pod mates were already gossiping about what had happened in the pool, though she didn’t even know how they could had find out as none of them were even near the pool at any moment.
So do you have anything to share with us said Xav’nia their pod leader.
“How did y’all even find out?” Delara responded while looking for her clothes to change in.
“Fur ball over here likes to be nosy.” Xav’nia said pointing at Rukna the Rakiri of the pod.
“I have a great nose for drama.” Rukna said while eating a human food called Jerk or something like that but Delara was sure that was the right word as she was pretty sure it was an insult for humans but she didn’t care enough to look it up.
“So?” Xav’nia pushed the subject.
“Can I at least get a shower first the chlorine from the pool makes my skin itch.”
“Alright go ahead but we want details when you come back.”
After a warm shower Delara got dressed, brushed her teeth, and exited the restroom where all her pod mates were staring at her, expectantly waiting for her story.
“Alright, alright, by the goddess, no one can do anything without y’all having to know.” Delara said, a little irritated by her pod’s insistence.
“So I saw the guy from the other day, and-“
“The one you told us about the other day?” Rukna interrupted.
“Yes fur ball there aren’t many other guys in this hotel.” Delara responded with a sigh at the lack of use of context clues the Rakiri used.
“So as I was saying he was by the pool reading a book and…”
“And what?” Asked Pravna
“He was…”
“Spit it out!” Said Xav’nia, sipping her water
“He was shirtless.”
Pffffff Xav’nia spat her water all over Rukna.
“Agh great now I’ll smell like wet dog”
"He was what?"
After what felt like an eternity of Delara trying to convince her pod mates that what she was saying actually happened and she wasn't just daydreaming in some kind of young adult fantasy.
"So then after the Sergeant left with Margna he invited me to sit next to him."
"I am going to keep calling ts on this." once more insisted Xav'nia as she turned and turned off her light.
"Look if your head is denser than a neutron star you can ask him tomorrow morning during breakfast, now would you let me finish?" Delara exclaimed already too tired and wanting to sleep, the day night cycle here threw her way off, as days were physically shorter but as they were told the day night cycle changed as the year progressed.
"Then he put on a shirt as I assume he learned that is not normal for us to see males shirtless, which seems to be something normal here." Delara said looking at the three of them to see if someone wanted to say anything before continuing "So, we talked about the book he was reading which he told me the name but I didn't quite understood, and then we went for a swim, in which he got really scared because he was surprised on how fast we could swim, and then after a while the Sarge came for me and we said our goodbyes."
"Hey maybe you'll leave this rock a married woman." said Pravna as she laid down to sleep.
"Yeah... That's what I'm not so sure about, the Sarge said she would talk to him and his mother about his relocation, and after a couple more weeks we ourselves are out to move also." said Delara laying on her side while under the covers."
"Then you better get him fast." said Pravna as she turned her light off leaving Delara with the only light on.
"Well I'll think about all of this tomorrow, I am too tired as of now, see ya in the morning." Delara said as she turned her light off.
*sniff \*
*sniff\*
"You smell like wet dog fur ball." Delara said as she passed out on her sleep.
"Well you have someone to thank for that." Rukna said as she lifted her head to face Xav'nia.
"You know what? you'll also have it." she said as she got up and jumped over to Xav'nia's bed in order to rub her fur on her so now she would smell like wet dog also.
"Uuuugh, get off!" exclaimed Xav'nia as she pushed Rukna off of her.
"Goddess dammit Rukna, now I smell like wet dog."
"Well now you wont get me wet again." said Rukna as she went back to bed.
"Go to sleep we have patrol tomorrow."

March 22, 2019
Beep beep beep
Beep beep beep
Beep beep beep
"Ugh" I groaned as he unsuccessfully tried to turn the alarm off several times, until I lifted his head from the pillow and looked at the alarm clock.
'8 AM, it sure feels like it's earlier' Jeriel thought as he sat at the edge of the bed, he needed to give his body time to properly wake up.
'Eyesight?'
'Focusing but otherwise systems are online and at regular capacity'
\Check**
'Muscles?'
'Systems coming on sir'
'Take us to the bathroom, and begin our day'
'Aye sir'
After a not so cold, not so warm shower, brushing his teeth, and combing his hair Jeriel took a look at the clock.
'8:30 AM, good enough'
Stepping out of the room and arriving at the dining hall that was relatively empty compared to the other days for it being eight thirty, what it was not of my liking was the fact that today was a really grey day, you felt as it was actually way earlier with how dark the sky was, but here I was on the line for my food, so after picking my breakfast for today which was to no one's surprise eggs but this time sunny side up, bacon, sausages, waffles which I've always thought as the superior option over pancakes and that is a hill that I'm willing to die on, hash browns, and cranberry juice, it was all good don't get me wrong but eating the same thing for breakfast for a week straight wasn't the most pleasant thing the biggest difference there would be was when they had tortillas instead of waffles and pancakes, I also wondered how was it going to be until the hotel ran out of food, and that got me thinking on how the world would change with out new overlords, or- overladies.
That thought got interrupted by Delara sitting across from me, "Hello Jeryl." At least she was trying unlike some of my teachers over the years or the people working at the DMV, "Good morning to you." I said as I sipped from my juice, to then feel someone sitting next to me, I knew it was not a human for how furry it felt, looking to my side I saw one of them Rakiri I had seen before.
"Hey there." said the werewolf like being, although they look more like felines, lions if you ask me, but what do I know I'm not a Xenobiologist, that must be a profession right? anyways, as I mentioned before this Rakiri for some reason seemed to have a kind of Russian accent which always threw me off, but I've never known why.
"Uhm hey." I answered as I looked at Delara who didn't look worried but more annoyed than anything, "Are you Delara's friend?" I asked her prepared to move if I had to.
"Oh yeah, this is Rukna, she's in my group." Delarad told me as she once again grabbed the mapple syrup to complete her breakfast for then other two marines seat next to Delara and the opposite side of the table by moving an unused chair, "Oh and this are Xav'nia and Pravna, Xav'nia is my group leader." Delara said as she ate a piece of waffle and sausage with the thich substance dripping down.
"So we need to know if what Delara told us las night was true, did you two swim at the pool together?" asked Xav'nia who seemed like she was her squad leader, but why was it so unbelievable that she and I had a swim together? Thinking about it, yeah it wasn't the most believable thing in the galaxy.
"Uhm yeah we swam together for a while." I said as I saw all three of them stare at Delara with open wide eyes.
"And Uh- were you without shirt?" asked Pravna who was the shortest one there but still had like a feet on me.
"Uh... Yes?" I answered as I saw Pravna choke on her food, at the news of me corroborating Delara's story.
'Is being shirtless that weird?' I thought but then I remembered how foreigners acted when they visited a beach in Europe and saw topless women, so I guessed I was the European in this case.
We chatted for a bit until Xav'nia told the rest that they had to go, "Uh- It was nice meeting y'all." I told them as they all stood up, "Oh uh... Sammme." answered the Rakiri, and saying bye to Delara with a hand wave she got out of view.
I sat back thinking on the fact that this were in fact actual aliens, extraterrestrial beings, people from beyond the stars if you will, and we just had a relatively normal conversation, then I felt someone sitting next to me which made me jump, after turning to see who it was I saw that it was Miranda, and I saw mom also getting her food, "So what did they want?" Miranda asked in a not so friendly tone, "They just wanted to chat." I answered as I once again sipped my cranberry juice.
"I don't like them." Miranda said as she sipped from her orange juice.
"And I don't like you, but that doesn't stop me from having to care for you." I said as mom sat in front of us.
"Good morning son"
"Good morning ma, bendición,"
"God bless you, how did you sleep?" mom said as she ate her French toast
"Well, or at least alright, I was thinking about what we were gonna do today."
"Wait what's today?" jumped Miranda.
"Sergeant Lyria wanted to speak to mom and I." I said.
"And why did no one told me?" Miranda exclaimed.
"It was classified information and I outrank you by three years." I said, "And she said that she wanted to speak to mom and I, so there was no point in telling you."
"MOM?" Miranda borderline screamed making everyone else in the dining hall turn to look at your table.
"Can you I don't know not scream? It's too damn early in the morning for these voice volumes."
"Ugh"
"I agree with your brother, I didn't see any point in telling you, so can we eat and have a regular conversation?" mom said as she also started eating.
•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•
"It's 9:55, shouldn't we go now to not be late? we don't even know where her office is." I said as I stood up to put my plate and glass away.
"Yeah I think that's a good idea, I don't want to be late for this."
After asking one of the marines we arrived at the Sergeant's improvised office, which was actually one of the hotel manager's office
All three of us were let it and were instructed to take our seats by Sergeant Lyria
“Well good morning, how are y’all doing today?” She asked while looking something up in her tablet.
“We are doing well all things considered.” said mom while glancing at us.
“Good, good, so.” the sergeant said as she put her tablet down and looked at us, “I suppose your son told you why we are here today right?”
“Y- yes, something about relocation?” mom said while giving me unsure glances.
“Yes, relocation, considering your situation including the destruction of your home and as I understand the passing of your husband, my condolences, I want to ask if you have a place with friends or family that you would want to move to and maybe stay with them, and from there I will see what I can do.” she said as she stared at my mom who was just staring back, who then stared at me giving me the well known gesture of translate for me because I didn’t understand a damn thing she said.
After translating and becoming the middle man I said “Well we have some friends in Austin.”
She then turned her tablet to me and asked if I could point that in a map, which I did, and after a little while of her checking something, she talked to us about how this were going to be.
"Okay so you all are going to be transferred in two weeks, so I would suggest that if you are able to you contact the people who you wish to stay with, but if that is not possible a shelter is going to be set up until we can find a permanent home for you and your children, as you are now a widow the Imperium offers help for single income families and single parents, but you would have to talk to a social worker that you would be able to talk to once you get there, but from what I know benefits include but are not limited to, housing, food, educational programs outside of school and some other things that I don't remember at the moment, but I will try to get someone in contact with you with all the information before you have to depart."
"But as of now we are going to start handing out IDs in about a week, so on that date you are going to head here because with you not having a permanent residence the process is a little bit different than standard, but you and your two children would get Imperial IDs."
"Is there any questions that I can answer at the moment?"
"No, I don't have any questions." mom said to me for me to say to the Sergeant, I looked at Miranda who also said she didn't had any.
"No they don't." I said.
"Well then you are dismissed." the Sergeant said, but I stayed behind to talk to her in private after Miranda and mom left after telling them that I would catch up with them later.
"Uhm Sergeant?" I asked getting her attention back from her tablet.
"Oh you are still here, anything I can help with?"
"What happened to the woman from yesterday?" I said while trying to find a place where to look.
"Oh Private Margna? you don't have to worry about her she was arrested for sexual harassment with your testimony and camera footage, as well as Private Delara's testimony, my guess she would be in jail for a while and if not she would have latrine duty for the rest of her days in the military."
"But if you need any kind of treatment, maybe talk to a psychiatrist just tell me alright?" She said with her again motherly tone, different from when she was talking with mom, then she sounded more like an old friend, trying to help mom.
"Uh yeah, I will let you know." I said as I stood up and exited the office.
'Austin huh?'
'Who would have thought'

Thanks for the support and as always if you notice anything out of place or any error I made just let me know in the comments so I can fix it.

Hey y'all! I got my Steam Deck less than a month ago and I've appreciated all of the guides and really the community support. When I got it I knew that EA's anti-cheat system for FIFA 23 doesn't play fair with Linux and even upon launching it says "Wine not supported". But I made it my mission to get this thing going... and I'm happy to report that I did!
Here's the steps I used start to finish, it's important to note that I'm using the EA App launcher for the game because I have EA Play through GamePass. It probably works with Origin too but I couldn't test it myself.
If you already have EA Play launcher installed skip to step 3, otherwise start from here and make sure you're in Desktop Mode for this:

1. Download EA Play through NonSteam Launchers (shoutout to steamdeckbro!). There's a nice tutorial on how to get setup here: https://steamdeckhq.com/tips-and-guides/install-3rd-party-launchers-on-steam-deck/
   
2. Run the EA Play app, log in, download FIFA 23
   
3. Once the installation is complete, quit the launcher, open your browser and download the FIFA 23 Live Editor (shoutout to xAranaktu!) -- this will allow us to bypass EA's cheat at the cost of going online
   
4. Extract that directory somewhere within the proton prefix that contains your EA Play launcher. For me that was located in: "/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/NonSteamLaunchers/".
   
5. Right click "Launcher.exe" within the folder you just move and add it to Steam
   
6. Open Steam in Desktop mode and rightclick the new "Launcher.exe" game. In the "launch options" section set your STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH to the proton prefix directory where you have your EA App installed. For me it's in /home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/NonSteamLaunchers/. Then addd %command to the end. This is how my launch options looks like: STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH="/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/NonSteamLaunchers/" %command%. Also be sure to force proton compatibility to the latest GE proton, for me it's GE-Proton8-3.
   
7. Launch "Launcher.exe" through steam. (Optional) When it launches, select "auto launch game", this will allow the Live Editor to launch FIFA every time you launch the launcher which is handy in Gaming Mode, but totally optional.
   
8. Press "Run Game". This will launch your EA Play app and launch FIFA. You should get to the splash screen! For me I had to spam random keys the first time to get it working.
   

Now if it didn't work completely here's some things that I encountered while trying to get it working:

• Make sure you're not on a low wattage. My base profile is 4W so the game was struggling. I set it to 15 just to be safe but you can go down as low as 9w without issue I think.
  
• Go into your proton prefix's documents folder and edit the fifasetup.ini file to both set it to the steam deck's resolution and also force a low graphical settings:
  

`

CONTROLLER_DEFAULT = 0 AUDIO_MIX_MODE = 0 CONFIG_APP_LOCALE = en-US DIRECTX_SELECT = 0 FULLSCREEN = 1 MSAA_LEVEL = 1 RENDERINGQUALITY = 1 RESOLUTIONHEIGHT = 800 RESOLUTIONWIDTH = 1280 VOICECHAT = 0 WAITFORVSYNC = 1 WINDOWED_BORDERLESS = 0 STRAND_BASED_HAIR = 0 USE_GOAL_NETS_3D = -1 DYNAMIC_RESOLUTION = 0 WINDOWTITLE = "FIFA 23" 

Also the way that live editor works is it pauses the game when it's invoked. and it's invoked on launch, so you'll have to hit "Window -> Hide Live Editor" for it to unpause the game and hide the live editor stuff. I tried mapping one of my buttons to "F9" but it doesn't work. Also for some reason in game mode I can move my mouse but I can't click on anything so I had to use the touchscreen to hide the editor.
And that's it! Now it should be noted that this doesn't run the best on steam deck. Gameplay itself you can hit 60 easy without any frame drops, but cinematics are a hot piece of garbage and has lots of frame drops and for some reason so does the menu. But hey, at least it works!
Let me know if it works for y'all too and if you have any settings to share to make it smoother!

Hi all,
Been lurking this sub for over half a year now because of my girlfriend, it's helped a lot. But it's gotten to the point where I no longer know what to do and I need more specific advice. So let's jump in.
My girlfriend only has seizures when she's asleep. They seem to have no trigger, and the most of an aura we get is sometimes a migraine before bed, which may or may not actually lead to one. Frequency is variable, she can go 2 months without having one and then have 5 in 5 nights back to back, or just one here and one there. As such she apparently does not qualify for disability, as the definition is apparently that you need to have one debilitating seizure per week. That's a load of bullshit. She has them early morning, and often cannot wake up for hours afterwards, causing her to miss work and not call in, and without accomodations because of a disability, jobs can straight up fire her for that. As far as I'm concerned, not being able to hold a job because of a medical condition is the exact definition of a medical disability, but I digress. This makes it extremely difficult to support herself. We've gotten very lucky with her current job - hybrid, flexible hours, and an amazing and understanding boss. A godsend honestly. But little scares me more than the idea of her losing it.
She's been on anti seizure medication before we met, and none of the kinds she tried helped. Her current neurologist won't go any further until we can catch one of these completely unpredictable, sporadically spaced seizures on EEG by scheduling a hospital stay like 3 weeks in advance, which is perhaps the most asinine thing I've ever heard a professional suggest in complete seriousness. It feels so silly to have to just throw darts at the calendar trying to guess when she'll have one and hope it's during the scheduled stay. There has to be a better way.
Lastly, she's just put money down on an apartment, but that's not as simple as she deserves it to be either. She was rescued from way out of state by some "friends" who pulled her from a manipulative and abusive marriage. We met online while she was with them, enjoyed dating , and were maybe about to try long distance or go our separate ways (I was scheduled to move across the country) last October. Those friends later tossed her out because she couldn't get a job partly because of the seizures but mostly because they refused to take her to interviews etc. So I stayed to help because she had literally nowhere else to go. 8 months later, and she's got a job and an apartment. This is her first place by herself, and she's incredibly excited. But her seizures the last week have been getting worse? Like they're the same, but she's waking up afterwards, which she never really did before, and every time now she can't remember me, or where she is, or even her own name. This is fairly new. She usually can't speak and sometimes doesn't even understand speech. It can last for a few hours and I usually can convince her to sleep it off successfully, but I'm concerned about her being by herself now.
Sorry about all the excess context, now for the questions.

1. Remote jobs are good, but even remote jobs usually expect you to keep a 9-5 or the equivalent of. If, God forbid, she needs to find another one, what types of jobs have all of you or your friends/family/SOs found that are very flexible with attendance times, and/or making up hours, since she doesn't qualify for disability? Are there programs or organizations that help people with medical conditions like this find jobs? Off topic follow up, what politician's legs do I need to break to get this legal definition changed lol
2. How the heck can we approach getting a diagnosis in a more sensible manner? Do we need to see many different neurologists? Other doctors? The wait times are insane, it takes months to get in and during that time she's struggling and miserable and then we see them and it feels like they give us little to nothing in terms of help, action plans, diagnosis, etc. Are there people or programs that can help guide people through this type of thing? We feel so on our own right now and it sucks.
3. Is there anyone out there who lives on their own and has temporary amnesia after their events? How do you and/or people close to you handle that? Are there places like assisted living for people with these types of seizures, where someone just checks on them daily and helps out if they need? I'm of course going to be checking in and staying over regularly but once I move out of state idk what will happen between her and I but of course I want her to be ok regardless

I think that's it, i'll probably think of 10 more after i post this
edited because my phone triple posted the same text for some reason. let me know if i missed anything

BRONX, N.Y., June 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- SYBLEU Inc. (OTC PINK: SYBE), a biotechnology company focused on therapies for human and animal health, medical devices, and clinical diagnostics, has begun trading on the OTC PINK markets under the symbol SYBE.
SYBLEU has developed a corporate strategy centered around acquiring intellectual property and forging strategic partnerships to advance technologies to market. The company has focused on three areas which it believes are high-growth areas in biotechnology.
First, the company is particularly interested in developing drugs for treating cancer in companion animals. Current companion animal therapies do not take advantage of the important advances that cancer therapies have enjoyed in human health. There has been a dearth of translating those advances into treating companion animals.
Second, SYBLEU is carefully examining the role of AI and machine learning in clinical diagnostics. Recognizing that the genomic revolution, when coupled with the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning, can potentially be used to predict cancer patient outcomes to a specific cancer treatment, the company's management is evaluating intellectual property in this space.
Third, advances in optics and plastics have enabled the design of disposable medical devices that, to date, have been expensive, reusable devices that must be sterilized between uses and rebuilt. The company is evaluating a technology that allows the manufacture of a disposable endoscope.
"There is so much exciting technological innovation in the biotechnology field right now," said Harry M. Lander, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of SYBLEU. "It seems that a convergence of biology (e.g., genomics), computational advances (e.g., AI and machine learning) and manufacturing (e.g., 3-D printing) is occurring in several fields that is resulting in new drugs, devices and diagnostic capabilities that will have far-reaching impact on human and animal health."
"Launching SYBLEU now is very exciting," said Joe Vaini, CEO of SYBLEU. "We will examine cutting-edge technologies and perform deep due-diligence as we select which technologies to pursue. We will also ensure that SYBLEU has a top-flight management team that will complement its needs as the company grows." https://finance.yahoo.com/news/sybleu-inc-announces-corporate-strategy-120000730.html?soc_src=strm&soc_trk=tw

Predictmedix – a great way to surf the Artificial Intelligence wave. There is a saying attributed to Mark Twain that goes, “History doesn’t repeat itself, but if often rhymes.” This means circumstances might be different but similar events often recur. This is good because securities regulators demand that you make it clear that in the financial markets, “Past performance is no guarantee of future results.” However, investment analysts continue to use rhymes and here’s one that could help you see sizeable investment returns from Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF). This is how the rhyme comes together: A. The 1990s technology boom: The parallel I see is between the current Artificial Intelligence cycle and the dot-com stock market cycle of ≈1990 to ≈ 2002. As background, the 1990s either developed or laid the groundwork for changes that completely transformed the world we live in. Out of that time came many new technologies and related developments and each was highly disruptive. Here is a very brief list of some of those developments: (1) Nokia was the first mass-produced cellphone offered in 1992 with the ability to send and receive phone calls as well as store data (e.g. phone numbers). (2) The World Wide Web, a.k.a. the Web browser was proposed in 1990 and debuted in 1991. This was the start of the Internet, Websites, e-mails and a massive amount of information that would become available to everyone. (3) With the explosion of data available, finding it became a challenge. Mosaic started as the first search engine in 1993 followed by Yahoo in 1994 and Google in 1998. Today, Google has risen to the top and become synonymous with an Internet search. Google it. (4) Other important developments of that time included the growth in the capacity of microprocessors, Photoshop, texting, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, realistic videogames for a more adult market, collecting and using DNA, the start of e-tailing and more. (5) Finally, we have the stock market. Cisco, Dell, Intel and Microsoft are sometimes referred to as the four horsemen of the 1990s tech boom. But we can’t ignore Apple and Google and there were many more that benefited. The smaller, new, Initial Public Offering companies came to the fore with incredibly high returns in the second half of the 1990s. The chart to the right shows how stock markets performed during the 1990’s high-tech boom. A few things are worth noting: (1) The Dot.Com stock market cycle lasted a long t time. Essentially, more than the decade of the 1990s. It’s length reflected the importance of the fundamental changes taking place. (2) There was an important development regarding the stock market that has become part of the stock market legend. On December 5, 1996, Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan in a televised speech used the term “irrational exuberance” to describe a stock market that he thought was highly speculative and overvalued. His comment was intended as a warning from the Fed that the stock market, driven by the high-tech developments described above, was overvalued. His timing was five years early which is a lifetime in the stock market. (3) The five years after Greenspan’s “irrational exuberance” statement was the most profitable for investors of the entire ten years plus of the stock market cycle. As you sit reading this brief, imagine your life without a cell phone, the Internet, e-mail and text messages. How different would your life be without just these four products that emerged from the 1990s. A more relevant question might be how different would your life be if you had purchased shares in Apple or Cisco or Dell or Google or Microsoft back then? B. The Artificial Intelligence Boom (AI): The term Artificial Intelligence was created in 1955. The idea was to have a machine that could take data, and find patterns that would enable it to make predictions and reach conclusions (make decisions). The Oxford Dictionary defines AI as “The theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages.” It was Moore’s Law in 1975 that stated the capacity of semiconductors would continue to double every two years which enabled computers to be able to put into practice the AI Boom that is taking place today. Current forecasts say the AI industry will grow to $900 billion by 2026 and $15.7 trillion by 2030. AI growth in the 1920s could dwarf anything high-tech was able to accomplish in the 1990s. (1) There is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) boom going on and many people don’t yet realize it is even happening. AI is used in: i. Self-driving and parking cars. AI is used by Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Tesla, Toyota and Volvo. ii. Maps and navigation. Enter where you are and where you want to go by car and Google Maps, for example, will give you a choice of routes, the time optimal route taking into account construction and traffic. iii. Facial detection or recognition. Facial detection identifies a human face or facial recognition that identifies a specific face that can be used for surveillance and security. iv. Digital assistants such as Amazon’s Alexa, Apple’s Siri, Google’s Now and Microsoft’s Cortana. When combined with search and recommendation AI, Alexa or Siri is able to learn your preferences and recommend things you are interested in. v. Customer service chatbots that answer frequently asked questions, track orders or direct calls. Often people will be unaware they are dealing with a machine. vi. Vehicle recognition use computer vision and deep learning to find a specific car on a surveillance video. vii. Robot vacuums can scan a living area, look for and remember objects in the way, remember the best route for cleaning the area and decide how many times it should repeat cleaning a specific area. It is estimated that by 2030, between 400 and 800 million jobs will be displaced by Artificial Intelligence and 375 million people will have to change to a totally different type of work. It is also forecast that it is not just lower-paying, blue-collar jobs that will be replaced by AI. Jobs such as accountants, lawyers, doctors, investment advisors and portfolio managers might all be substantially eliminated. AI will impact all industries and the rate of change will be exponential, that is, the rate of change will accelerate. For example, what does a doctor do? In general, a doctor gathers new information, refers to a patient’s medical history, refers to a medical book or today’s Internet, makes a diagnosis and provides s treatment. This is also what a lawyer does. AI might reach the point where it can do it faster and better than a human.. AI does present threats to human existence. As AI is changing exponentially, it will happen faster than the technology boom of the 1990s. It took technology 20 years to produce the changes we discussed above. AI could produce equivalent changes in 10 or 15 years. For example, ChatGPT, an AI product went from zero to 100 million users within months making it the fastest-growing consumer software product in history. There will be others. (2) The AI shift could drive economic change and a stock market cycle at least as significant as the last “dot.com” cycle. The “go-to” companies today for participation in AI are the likes of Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Meta (NASDAQ: META), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Oracle (NYSE: ORCL). These are very large companies. GOOGL has a market cap of $1.6 trillion, AMZN has a market cap of $1.2 trillion, META has a market cap of $$648 billion, MSFT has a market cap of $2.4 trillion, NCDA has a market cap of $963 billion and ORCL has a market cap of $282 billion. (3) While these are excellent businesses, they are also amongst the world’s largest companies. In 2022, GOOGL, META and MSFT purchased 2 out of every 3 AI chips. In my opinion, it is almost unthinkable that GOOGL can be a ten-bagger from a base market cap of $1.6 trillion or AMZN from $1.2 trillion. But it is clear these stocks now have a major component of their value derived from involvement in Artificial Intelligence and it is not surprising that early adopters would choose a lower risk/lower return approach to gain exposure to an emerging Artificial Intelligence industry. (4) The changes created by AI also carry some risks. The speed of change will be challenging to human beings. There are forecasts that say one in four workers globally will see their jobs disappear and one in eight workers will have to be retrained in a totally unrelated field. During the industrial revolution and the tech boom, there was always the promise of more and better jobs. With AI we may have reached the point where machines actually do replace workers. (5) Cathie Wood is a well-known and widely followed money manager with a reputation for expertise in the Artificial Intelligence sector. Wood manages a range of portfolios including the ARK Innovation Exchange Traded Fund (ARKK) and since its founding in 2014, Bloomberg estimates NDVA has contributed 13% of the fund’s 112% total return only behind Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, Invitae Corp and Tesla. That is all positive but Wood sold the ARKK holding in NVDA in January 2023 just before it rallied strongly adding some $560 billion to its market cap with $200 billion coming on one day after reporting earnings. Wood’s investors have basically missed the huge rally in the stock and the sector in 2023. (6) But there is another phase I would look for and that is the participation of smaller, retail investors. Whether it was in the tech cycle I discussed above, the “meme” stocks or commodity exploration and development cycles in the past, the retail investor buys in before the bull market ends. Market pundits such as Citi global asset allocation and Vanda Research make the same observation: where is the retail investor? We know the institutional investors have been getting in. So far in 2023 according to Bloomberg, the top 4% of stocks in the S&P 500 have contributed 94% of the index return and 8 of the top 20 include Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet Class A, NVIDIA, Alphabet Class C, Tesla and Meta. In other words, the top 2% of the stocks in the S&P 500 contributed 94% of the return. Through mid-May, if the AI stocks are omitted, the S&P Index would be down -1.4% instead of up +8.3%. All of these stocks are AI leaders and each of them is an institutional stock. Yet, I believe the retail investor will come into the market and when they do, it is stocks like PMED for which they have always had an appetite. C. I think investors will get more bang for their buck by investing in a small company like Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF) with a total commitment to AI. From a base market cap of $16.6 million and, as I have pointed out in recent reports, many different business verticals to get them higher, I see PMED as a unique opportunity for aggressive growth investors. It is hard to imagine any decade having more of an impact on the ensuring socio-economic decades than the 1990s. Imagine your activities today without your cellphone, Internet, email and texting. I expect the cycle driven by AI to be a long one, similar to the dot-com cycle that lasted longer than the decade of the 1990s. To the right is a chart published by Luke Lango’s Hypergrowth Investing. It shows the stock market in the 1990s and overlays current results. The parallels Lango sees include: • Federal Reserve’s tight money policy slowed economic growth in 1990 as it is doing currently. • In 1990, the markets were down around 20% and in 2022 stocks dropped around 25%. • In late 1990, the Fed started reducing interest rates and the markets rebounded. • In late 2022, the Fed has turned less hawkish and into 2023 has slowed the pace of interest rate increases. The markets have been recovering. • In the early 1990’s, the dot-com stock market rally began and the market would advance generally higher for the rest of the decade and into the new millennium. • Today, it is Artificial Intelligence that is pushing stocks higher and given my expectations for AI, it could stock prices higher until at least 2030. Conclusion: I believe Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF) is exceptionally well positioned to participate in the upcoming boom in Artificial Intelligence. There are many different ways to describe market cycles that evolve around such drivers. Here is mine: Accumulation: the earliest buyers tend to be larger institutions that gain the information necessary to be early adopter. I have given several statistics to show this has been happening. Retail Participation/Speculation: as the story gains acceptance, less experienced investors enter the market and prices begin to rise more quickly. After two to three years of combined buying by large and small investors, it is possible to identify speculative activities such as very rapid increases in a stock price or underwritings of companies based on questionable valuations. This is the next phase I see ahead for the current AI cycle. Distribution/Sale: At some point, toward the end of the Retail Participation/Speculation phase, some investors will begin to sell. It is popular to believe that institutional investors or “smart money” sell at this stage. During the many years, I have spent in the investment business, this is not true. Institutions can hold on to their AI stocks for far too long and end up seeing their portfolios incinerated. This is still many years away. The challenge today with a stock like PMED is not getting out; it is getting in. Bear Market: eventually there will be a broad sell-off of AI stocks. Some institutions will sell without regard for their impact on the market. Margin buyers will get margin calls and may be forced to sell again without regard to price. At this time, over half of the AI companies trading at that time will simply disappear. Some will be successful but remain smaller. Some will merge with another AI company. Some will be acquired. Very few will survive and become leaders in the industries. They will become the Alphabets, Amazons, Metas, Microsofts, Nvidias, and Oracles of the 2040s and 2050s. I started out with the quote “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” So I don’t think the AI cycle of the 2020s will be the same as the high-tech cycle of the 1990s but I think it will be similar. If you agree, Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF) is a stock to buy for your portfolio.

When we got a dog I knew it was gonna be a challenge. We as in my husband and I. He had a few small dogs growing up but mainly cats. My mother always had a small dog (at least one) and we usually had a cat as well. We took in a lot of strays so some stayed and some were rehomed. We had very few big dogs and the ones we did save were rehomed rather fast cuz we could never care for them properly (small spaces, parents always worked, ect. It was for the best of the dog even if my brother and I really wanted to keep it).
Well, we both wanted a home with cats and a bigger dog. We always talked about it when planning the future and I would often go to him and say "we should get a dog" and he would show me dog breeds and training ideas. Well we got pregnant and the talk of getting a dog to raise with our child was consistent. We kept looking for puppies or keeping an eye in our local shelter for one that fit what we wanted (medium, smart breed, trainable, young) and saw a lot of "free puppy" signs we ignored due to then not being the breed we wanted.
We make it to 7 months of my pregnancy with my husband promising if we see the breed of dog we want we will pick one up and then our shelter had mini aussie Shepard pups! We were definitely interested but not hopeful and when we got there we were told the waiting list was long for them. So we decided to meet a few of the dogs they had because we had our eye on a few in the shelter for a bit. We decided to look at 2 and fell in love with Luna instantly due to her age size and just excited nature. We still looked at the other one (her name was Nala) but decided she wasn't the dog for us. We had to wait the weekend to bring our new pup home and she was a new addition to the shelter so we were in charge of getting her taken to her final appointments (spay, shots ect. Were are paid for with adoption fees). A young dog, only 8 months they believed, she was still easy to train. We prepped the whole house and my husband took a doy off work and we learned how to be do parents.
It's was hard! We were training and learning what gear was good and what wasn't. We got things we loved and things we will never use again. We joined training forums (like this one!) And I did my best even heavily pregnant to provide her with enrichment and training while my husband was away.
Now our 9 month old border collie lab lays at my feet outside. She went potty and played with her toy and is just enjoying a good combo of enrichment and rest. She's had a lot of bumps in the road and is currently working through a UTI but we have potty trained and she learned her new name. She even breaks from distractions on walks quicker! Is she perfect? No. She still jumps and nips and tries to headbutt my big belly and we are slowly learning that's not what the humans like. We are anxious and nervous for bringing a baby home but have done our fair share of research and we are hopeful that she will learn to protect our daughter and not jump on her fragile little body (obviously she will be closely watched and if we must I can keep her separate from the baby until I feel she is capable of being safe with her).
I complain a lot about having a dog but the timing wasn't great, she's young, and we are so new to this. I've enjoyed spending my day watching her chase treats or turning on videos of birds and squirrels to watch her tilt her head. Throwing a ball or her toys and having her bring then back. I'm able to keep her out of the kennel more and more and once the roomate leaves and there is less distraction in the common space I trust I can do about anything I need to while she is allowed to run and play! I don't regret getting a dog, she's gotten me and my husband more active and makes us think more.

It is estimated that by 2030, between 400 and 800 million jobs will be displaced by Artificial Intelligence and 375 million people will have to change to a totally different type of work. It is also forecast that it is not just lower-paying, blue-collar jobs that will be replaced by AI. Jobs such as accountants, lawyers, doctors, investment advisors and portfolio managers might all be substantially eliminated. AI will impact all industries and the rate of change will be exponential, that is, the rate of change will accelerate.
For example, what does a doctor do? In general, a doctor gathers new information, refers to a patient’s medical history, refers to a medical book or today’s Internet, makes a diagnosis and provides s treatment. This is also what a lawyer does. AI might reach the point where it can do it faster and better than a human..
AI does present threats to human existence. As AI is changing exponentially, it will happen faster than the technology boom of the 1990s. It took technology 20 years to produce the changes we discussed above. AI could produce equivalent changes in 10 or 15 years. For example, ChatGPT, an AI product went from zero to 100 million users within months making it the fastest-growing consumer software product in history. There will be others.
(2) The AI shift could drive economic change and a stock market cycle at least as significant as the last “dot.com” cycle. The “go-to” companies today for participation in AI are the likes of Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Meta (NASDAQ: META), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Oracle (NYSE: ORCL). These are very large companies. GOOGL has a market cap of $1.6 trillion, AMZN has a market cap of $1.2 trillion, META has a market cap of $$648 billion, MSFT has a market cap of $2.4 trillion, NCDA has a market cap of $963 billion and ORCL has a market cap of $282 billion.
(3) While these are excellent businesses, they are also amongst the world’s largest companies. In 2022, GOOGL, META and MSFT purchased 2 out of every 3 AI chips. In my opinion, it is almost unthinkable that GOOGL can be a ten-bagger from a base market cap of $1.6 trillion or AMZN from $1.2 trillion. But it is clear these stocks now have a major component of their value derived from involvement in Artificial Intelligence and it is not surprising that early adopters would choose a lower risk/lower return approach to gain exposure to an emerging Artificial Intelligence industry.
(4) The changes created by AI also carry some risks. The speed of change will be challenging to human beings. There are forecasts that say one in four workers globally will see their jobs disappear and one in eight workers will have to be retrained in a totally unrelated field. During the industrial revolution and the tech boom, there was always the promise of more and better jobs. With AI we may have reached the point where machines actually do replace workers.
(5) Cathie Wood is a well-known and widely followed money manager with a reputation for expertise in the Artificial Intelligence sector. Wood manages a range of portfolios including the ARK Innovation Exchange Traded Fund (ARKK) and since its founding in 2014, Bloomberg estimates NDVA has contributed 13% of the fund’s 112% total return only behind Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, Invitae Corp and Tesla. That is all positive but Wood sold the ARKK holding in NVDA in January 2023 just before it rallied strongly adding some $560 billion to its market cap with $200 billion coming on one day after reporting earnings. Wood’s investors have basically missed the huge rally in the stock and the sector in 2023.
(6) But there is another phase I would look for and that is the participation of smaller, retail investors. Whether it was in the tech cycle I discussed above, the “meme” stocks or commodity exploration and development cycles in the past, the retail investor buys in before the bull market ends. Market pundits such as Citi global asset allocation and Vanda Research make the same observation: where is the retail investor?
We know the institutional investors have been getting in. So far in 2023 according to Bloomberg, the top 4% of stocks in the S&P 500 have contributed 94% of the index return and 8 of the top 20 include Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet Class A, NVIDIA, Alphabet Class C, Tesla and Meta. In other words, the top 2% of the stocks in the S&P 500 contributed 94% of the return. Through mid-May, if the AI stocks are omitted, the S&P Index would be down -1.4% instead of up +8.3%. All of these stocks are AI leaders and each of them is an institutional stock. Yet, I believe the retail investor will come into the market and when they do, it is stocks like PMED for which they have always had an appetite.
C. I think investors will get more bang for their buck by investing in a small company like Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF) with a total commitment to AI. From a base market cap of $16.6 million and, as I have pointed out in recent reports, many different business verticals to get them higher, I see PMED as a unique opportunity for aggressive growth investors. It is hard to imagine any decade having more of an impact on the ensuring socio-economic decades than the 1990s. Imagine your activities today without your cellphone, Internet, email and texting.
I expect the cycle driven by AI to be a long one, similar to the dot-com cycle that lasted longer than the decade of the 1990s. To the right is a chart published by Luke Lango’s Hypergrowth Investing. It shows the stock market in the 1990s and overlays current results. The parallels Lango sees include:
• Federal Reserve’s tight money policy slowed economic growth in 1990 as it is doing currently.
• In 1990, the markets were down around 20% and in 2022 stocks dropped around 25%.
• In late 1990, the Fed started reducing interest rates and the markets rebounded.
• In late 2022, the Fed has turned less hawkish and into 2023 has slowed the pace of interest rate increases. The markets have been recovering.
• In the early 1990’s, the dot-com stock market rally began and the market would advance generally higher for the rest of the decade and into the new millennium.
• Today, it is Artificial Intelligence that is pushing stocks higher and given my expectations for AI, it could stock prices higher until at least 2030.
Conclusion: I believe Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF) is exceptionally well positioned to participate in the upcoming boom in Artificial Intelligence. There are many different ways to describe market cycles that evolve around such drivers. Here is mine:

1. Accumulation: the earliest buyers tend to be larger institutions that gain the information necessary to be early adopter. I have given several statistics to show this has been happening.
2. Retail Participation/Speculation: as the story gains acceptance, less experienced investors enter the market and prices begin to rise more quickly. After two to three years of combined buying by large and small investors, it is possible to identify speculative activities such as very rapid increases in a stock price or underwritings of companies based on questionable valuations. This is the next phase I see ahead for the current AI cycle.
3. Distribution/Sale: At some point, toward the end of the Retail Participation/Speculation phase, some investors will begin to sell. It is popular to believe that institutional investors or “smart money” sell at this stage. During the many years, I have spent in the investment business, this is not true. Institutions can hold on to their AI stocks for far too long and end up seeing their portfolios incinerated. This is still many years away. The challenge today with a stock like PMED is not getting out; it is getting in.
4. Bear Market: eventually there will be a broad sell-off of AI stocks. Some institutions will sell without regard for their impact on the market. Margin buyers will get margin calls and may be forced to sell again without regard to price. At this time, over half of the AI companies trading at that time will simply disappear. Some will be successful but remain smaller. Some will merge with another AI company. Some will be acquired. Very few will survive and become leaders in the industries. They will become the Alphabets, Amazons, Metas, Microsofts, Nvidias, and Oracles of the 2040s and 2050s.

I started out with the quote “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” So I don’t think the AI cycle of the 2020s will be the same as the high-tech cycle of the 1990s but I think it will be similar. If you agree, Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF) is a stock to buy for your portfolio.

Now free, his unique form of justice, born out of rage, is challenged by modern-day heroes who form the Justice Society: Hawkman, Dr. Fate, Atom Smasher, and Cyclone. Production companies : Warner Bros. Pictures. At San Diego Comic-Con in July, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson had other people raising eyebrows when he said that his long-awaited superhero debut in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse would be the beginning of “a new era” for the DC Extended Universe naturally followed: What did he mean? And what would that kind of reset mean for the remainder of DCEU's roster, including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the rest of the Justice League, Suicide Squad, Shazam and so on.As Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse neared theaters, though, Johnson clarified that statement in a recent sit-down with Yahoo Entertainment (watch above). “I feel like this is our opportunity now to expand the DC Universe and what we have in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, which I think is really cool just as a fan, is we introduce five new superheroes to the world,” Johnson tells us. Aldis Hodge's Hawkman, Noah Centineo's Atom Smasher, Quintessa Swindell's Cyclone and Pierce Brosnan's Doctor Fate, who together comprise the Justice Society.) “One anti-hero.” (That would be DJ's Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.) “And what an opportunity. The Justice Society pre-dated the Justice League. So opportunity, expand out the universe, in my mind… all these characters interact. That's why you see in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, we acknowledge everyone: Batman , Superman , Wonder Woman, Flash, we acknowledge everybody.There's also some Easter eggs in there, too.So that's what I meant by the resetting. Maybe resetting' wasn't a good term.only In addition to being Johnson's DC Universe debut, “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” is also notable for marking the return of Henry Cavill's Superman. The cameo is likely to set up future showdowns between the two characters, but Hodge was completely unaware of it until he saw the film. “They kept that all the way under wraps, and I didn't know until maybe a day or two before the premiere,” he recently said Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2022) FULLMOVIE ONLINE Is Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Available On Hulu?Viewers are saying that they want to view the new TV show Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse on Hulu. Unfortunately, this is not possible since Hulu currently does not offer any of the free episodes of this series streaming at this time. the MTV channel, which you get by subscribing to cable or satellite TV services. You will not be able to watch it on Hulu or any other free streaming service. Is Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Streaming on Disney Plus? Unfortunately, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is not currently available to stream on Disney Plus and it's not expected that the film will release on Disney Plus until late December at the absolute earliest. While Disney eventually releases its various studios' films on Disney Plus for subscribers to watch via its streaming platform, most major releases don't arrive on Disney Plus until at least 45-60 days after the film's theatrical release. The sequel opened to $150 million internationally, which Disney reports is 4% ahead of the first film when comparing like for likes at current exchange rates. Overall, the global cume comes to $330 million. Can it become the year's third film to make it past $1 billion worldwide despite China and Russia, which made up around $124 million of the first film's $682 million international box office, being out of play? It may be tough, but it's not impossible. Legging out past $500 million is plausible on the domestic front (that would be a multiplier of at least 2.7), and another $500 million abroad would be a drop of around $58 million from the original after excluding the two MIA markets. It'd be another story if audiences didn't love the film,but the positive reception suggests that Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse will outperform the legs on this year's earlier MCU titles (Multiverse of Madness and Love and Thunder had multipliers of 2.2 and 2.3 respectively). As for the rest of the box office, there's little to get excited about, with nothing else grossing above $10 million as Hollywood shied away from releasing anything significant not just this weekend but also over the previous two weekends. When Black Panther opened in 2018, there was no counterprogramming that opened the same weekend, but Peter Rabbit and Fifty Shades Freed were in their second weekends and took second and third with $17.5 million and $17.3 million respectively. That weekend had an overall cume of $287 million compared to $208 million this weekend Take away the $22 million gap between the two Black Panther films and there's still a $57 million gap between the two weekends. The difference may not feel that large when a mega blockbuster is propping up the grosses,but the contrast is harsher when the mid-level films are the entire box office as we saw in recent months. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, which is the biggest grosser of the rough post-summer, pre-Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse season, came in second with just $8.6 million. Despite the blockbuster competition that arrived in its fourth weekend, the numbers didn't totally collapse, dropping 53 % for a cume of $151 million. Worldwide it is at $352 million, which isn't a great cume as the grosses start to wind down considering its $200 million budget. Still, it's the biggest of any film since Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, though Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse will overtake it any day now. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse came in third place in its fourth weekend, down 29% with $6.1 million, emerging as one of the season's most durable grossers and one of the year's few bright spots when it comes to films for adults. The domestic cume is $56.5 million Fourth place went to Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile, which had a negligible drop of 5% for a $3.2 million sixth weekend and $40.8 million cume., in fact ) , which isn't surprising considering it's the only family film on the market, and it's Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse to grossing four times its $11.4 million opening. Still, the $72.6 million worldwide cume is soft given the $50 million budget , though a number of international markets have yet to open. Finishing up the top five is Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, which had its biggest weekend drop yet, falling 42% for a $2.3 million seventh weekend. Of course, that's no reason to frown for the horror film, which has a domestic cume of $103 million and global cume of $ 210 million from a budget of just $20 million.
