White pop up tent with sides

Hello, figured I'd put this issue I'm having out here, in case anyone has encountered it before. Google is popping up with multiple lines to pursue, and I'm hoping to narrow it down.
Issue:
Twice now, across around a 3 month time frame, I have had my 2001 Honda Accord (4cyl) stall out when I try to take off after stopping at a red light. The dash lights come on, gauges go down to zero, and engine dead. Both times, I've put on my hazards, put the car in park, and shut off the ignition, before trying to restart.
The first time it happened, the car cranked, but didn't start at first, so I shut off all my climate controls, wipers (it was raining) and headlights, waited 10 seconds, then tried again, with it then starting and driving fine the rest of the day.
Second time (this morning), it stalled again, so I followed all the steps I did the first time, though turned all the controls/lights off first before trying to start. The car wouldn't start after three tries, so I prepared to get out and push it further to the side of the road. I ended up having to wait for a break in the traffic (cars were using the left turn lane beside me to get around my car), so I decided to try starting it again and it finally restarted. Went the rest of my way to work (a little over 5km distance, straight road, speed of about 50-60 km/h, did not have to stop at any lights again) with no problem.
A very similar issue has cropped up before this (very, very intermittently) where the car would feel like it's stalling, but before I could even lift my foot off the accelerator, it would go again. All my gauges would drop to zero, the lights would blink and the car would feel like it's slowing, but then it would go back to normal. The whole experience would be maybe 1-2 seconds at most. This issue happened maybe a total of 3 times, sometimes when going after a stop, once when taking a slight turn over train tracks, and once when driving (was going maybe around 30 km/h). There would be no other issues when driving, and it'd be months of fine driving before it'd happen again.
There doesn't seem to be any common denominator across the incidents (other than being stopped, though it could just be a coincidence), such as weather conditions, how long I'd been driving for that day, how long I'd been stopped for, etc.
Car info:
2001 Honda Accord (4cyl), with just over 272,000 km. Has no catalytic converter or O2 sensors (was stolen in Dec. 2021, just has a straight pipe welded in place). Was quoted just over $1000 to repair, but my dad brought up the fact that I paid only $3000 for this car and have already spent $2000 on a new transmission (done 5 years ago) and $800 on a cooling system repair (2 years ago), so was like "how much more do you want to pump into it?".
Car starts fine in the mornings, fluid levels are all in range, air filter replaced in October. Daytime Running Lights do not work (bulbs are fine, I suspect a wiring issue, as they have turned on by themselves once or twice, but I haven't been able to track a possible short). Distributor, spark plugs and wires have all been replaced in the last 2-3 years. Oil changes are done pretty consistently at around 5,000 km (sometimes a little oveunder, as I have it done at the same time as my Dad does the changes on my parent's vehicles). Car has otherwise been quite reliable for the ~7+ years I've been driving it (got it at about 100,000 km or so).

So with corsair icue and the default 3rd party setting in division2, I like how the lighting is linked to stuff happening in game when the setting is on. However the other day I checked out the lighting profile from corsairs icue profiles for division2 and linked it to the game launch like I do with cyberpunk2077 (ended up being a generic orange/white not linked to in game events). I didn't like it so I deleted the profile, however afterwards when I launched the game again and turned the in game 3rd party icue setting on it was the generic orange/white from corsair and not the one from division2 that is linked to in game events.
Any help would be great to get the division2 game profile icue back would be great. I like how it was linked to in game events.

We’ve been together 1.5 years. When our relationship started we were together 24/7 and I understand that, for an individualist like him, this has weighted a ton on him, but I was in a really bad place and at that time I needed that kind of presence, which he did.
With time we started to seek more time to spend to ourselves, which was a great achievement, but now that we’re not constantly together I’m naturally questioning if this is what I want (since we’re getting out of the honeymoon fase) and also if his detachment is one of his natural traits or if it’s due to the toxic amount of time we spent together (which gave him responsibilities he didn’t ask for).
-He doesn’t like conflict and he doesn’t know how to express his feelings. -He always repeats to me that he loves me, but he really never gave me any other compliment: the peak one is “cute”, which honestly is the only other sweet word together with “I love you”, since to him insults are “sarcasm”. -He defines a relationship between two lovers as “two people who love each other and spend quality time together”, which, to me, sounds like a friendship. -When it comes to making plans with me it’s always “whatever”, and he really likes making experiences. -He NEVER texts me, he could go days without texting me anything, not even “hi”, and when he does it’s only to meet up, as if I was a medical appointment he must go to against his will. I gotta say that this last period has been shitty for him due to serious problems, so I hope it’s just a hard time and I’ll be more that happy to be by his side, but now he tells me that he feels like he’s losing his youth and me, I’m feeling used…as if he didn’t like me and I can’t stop bringing up proof to this feeling

Back to the moment before the very moment of his death: asking for help; at last gasp, trying to mitigate; trying to explain.
(Long ago when the river police fished suicides out of the Thames, it was accepted truth which of them had died for love, and which of utter despair. The former changed their minds mid-stream, as it were, and their fingers were shredded from clawing at bridge abutments or debris in the water to try and save themselves; the latter were past hope, past care, and willed themselves to sink, unmarked, like the stones with which they filled their pockets.)
​

One experience I had was when I was living in a very small one-room apartment with a friend. We were still teenagers and had just moved out of home and had single beds on either side of the room.
I couldn't sleep one night and was laying awake. I wanted to put the light on and read but I didn't want to be inconsiderate to my friend.
The moonlight was fairly strong in the room and I could see a shadow approach the side of my bed.
It had a male energy and he crouched down over me and was trying to say something to me but I could not understand what he was saying.
I sat up and yelled at my friend to turn the light on; the poor girl nearly jumped out of her skin, but I was beyond being polite at that stage.
The next day we were chatting to a neighbor and he said that the previous tenant of the apartment was a young guy who had killed himself in there.
We moved out not long after that.

So I recently made a sad discovery that a powder cheek palette in my stash probably has mold grown on one of the blushes (like mold on bread but white-ish). I've only tried it once with clean brush so no idea how mold got in! I know that it's best to throw it away because my skin health is worth more than any palette in this world, but somehow I can't bring myself to get rid of it. I got it at really cheap price on clearance so definitely not much money was wasted, but I guess it's the cutesy packaging and the fact that all the blushes look nice on me that I feel like I'll miss out a lot if I throw it away! Really funny how my brain works because at the same time I know for sure that I can't and shouldn't use a palette with mold on it, and no matter how much disinfectant spray I use, the palette isn't as clean as before. Would appreciate some wise words to help me make up my mind!

So you got placed in Bayfield. Coming from someone who got Bayfield for first year this is what I would liked to have known right away and then pros and cons.
O-week is pretty much the same in terms of taking part in the events as other residences (you get to meet people), and can say i had a fire time. Being so close to Saug, the neighbourhood that includes Lambton is pretty lively at the beginning of the year (Ex: meet people playing sports at the court) but the winter came quick. I liked how I was able to go use the meal hall at Saug as a part of my day but not have to live in the zoo although im sure its a time (Think Saugeen as a hangout spot rather than residence).
Pros Bayfield:
- Good sized rooms with full kitchen: some are better than others but I have no complaints compared to a trad style, me and my random roommate get along fine so it doesn't matter to me.
- In my opinion better location than Lambton as ur closer to Saug just makes going to eat easier.
- Security is really easy to get by, theres 3 fire doors that sound an alarm when you open them but dont be worried nothing will happen, (they haven't caught me with the camera once, and i use it to get to my car all the time). Makes getting people in from other residences super easy if you want to pre w ur friends.
- Parking: huge lot to bring a car (i didn't have a pass but only found myself getting tickets maybe once every 2 weeks for 25$ so i just tanked it) save more than buying the pass.
- Apartment style building very adult like living if ur into it and theres NO ONE TO GET YOU IN TROUBLE its basically a free for all.
- No camera in the lobby
- BALCONY; not allowed on them but you can pop the screen out and open it by taking off the back of the lock (i did this day one) DONT GET CAUGHT you WILL get in shit and they're dicks about it (Mark Mariner can suck my dick) but i smoked weed everyday off this thing.
Cons: its a shitty building (its old) nothing is nice, everything does the job but yk.
- Bad management : were kinda the least important so things take the most time to fix.
- you never know when there will be security, its so not a normal rez that they dont care to put security half the time.
- no communal space, theres nowhere to study other than ur room, no gym, no lobby to sit, its like not interpersonal at all aside from the people on ur floor (its really up to you to make friends) (which i did)
- Ur a number to these people take it how you will.
Now last i want to talk about the meal plan scam western is running. Basically the meal hall is at Saugeen and very convenient if you dont want to cook all ur meals cause ur lazy or still a kid but If you live at Bayfield DONT BUY IT YOU WILL BE SAVING MONEY. Its like 6k where 3.5k is overhead (paying the employees) this leaves you with 2.5K food credit that wont last all year and youll have to call mommy to give you more money.
WHY ITS BAD: the meal plan gives you a 50% discount on the shit food they have but since more than 50% is overhead you are saving money if you pay debit the whole year. EXAMPLE: a sandwich is 5$ on ur One-Card meal plan (with discount) meaning its 10$ real money but since more of it goes to the overhead you end up losing money. In simple terms YOU PAY 6K FOR 2.5K WORTH OF FOOD. It literally saves you money to buy the Vitamine waters for 7$. (they force you to buy it in other residences but if you live at Bayfield you get to opt out of the scam completely.

Hello Everyone! I recently was able to get diagnosed with inattentive ADHD and was put on 40mg of Strattera. I'm able to feel it build up in my system but had to stop recently as the side effects were heavily impacting me. My two main symptoms were heavy constipation ( had to wait 5 days + for the waste to slowly come out ) and extreme dry mouth. I'm someone with sensitive dental issues ( working on filling my cavities), but I feel like saliva is really important in maintaining oral health and I can't find myself continuing to take the medication with an extreme dry mouth. Is there a possible solution to solving the dry mouth other than Biotene and mouth drops, please? Thank you.

Hi all,
I’m going to try and keep this precise but it’s hard to get all the information in here without missing out important stuff.
In September 2022, my mum started taking SAMe supplement. I had been taking it since October 2021 (on and off) and it had worked for me; I suffer from chronic anxiety and panic attacks, as well as OCD. My mum decided to take it to combat her low mood as well as to help her knee: it states online that it’s good for joints. Anyway, not even a week after she started the dose, she started to exhibit very odd behaviour such as: insomnia, loss of appetite, short fuse, aggression and high energy bursts. For some reason, we didn’t think anything of it. Then from October to beginning of December my mum wasn’t taking same supplement, as it had ran out and the pills are delivered from the States so they took two months to arrive.
Flash to middle of December; my mum has started taking SAMe again and is not exhibiting the same behaviour as September but this time way worse, to the point where I wanted to move out, it was so bad. She was literally in Mania for 3 weeks. She barely slept or ate. She was in a manic episode for the first time ever. We ended up finding articles online about people who had gone into psychosis because of this supplement and she immediately came off of it. Within 3 weeks, she was back to “normal”.
Now, March 2023, the problems have started again yet this time it’s different and this time, she isn’t on SAMe anymore. She went on holiday for 5 weeks and returned seemingly normal, however after being back for 7 days she’s suddenly not eating, not getting out of bed, not showering, not answering the phone and almost acting as if she’s loosing the will to live. She’s also having delusions in my opinion, as she believes that someone she met on holiday has poisoned her or brainwashed her??? It’s all she talks about and is disregarding the fact that she’s probably going through psychosis again due to the fact that she didn’t get therapy or medication after her manic episode in December. My whole family is in a panic, as my mother is the life and party of the family. For the first time in her life she’s acting as if she doesn’t want to be here anymore and that she thinks this is it?? This has all happened in the space of 18 days and my life has been turned upside down. She’s currently at her parents house but no one knows what to do. She’s too scared to even see a therapist and I feel like I’m loosing my mind trying to get her to realise that she needs help. Does it sound like she needs mood stabilisers after her manic episode? Could this be manic depression? Does she need antidepressants? I’m a little worried about medication as I know she had an adverse side effect to SAMe which mimics SSRI’s. Also two family members have had terrible side effects with Sertraline before, so im not sure what kind of medication she can take. She’s also extremely into holistic medicine, so it can be hard to get her to take something like a prescribed antidepressant!!!
Please give any advice at all, as I’m struggling. We are from the UK by the way

Background: I was diagnosed with ADHD 6 months ago. Month one they tried me on 10MG adderall XR. Life changing; for the first time ever I was able to focus, read, understand, apply coding techniques in my courses and most importantly, math!Totally took me from a struggling student to an average or slightly above average! Month 2/3 I tried Vyvanse, first 30 then 40mg because of the shortage. Hated it and just had no energy, so I’m back at adderall with the support of my psychiatrist! I’m lucky In the way that as long as I don’t take more than prescribed and drug test randomly I’m able to get a reliable supply or shipment within 24 hours of script end. I then got back on adderall and started at 5mgXR and went back up to 10, then 15 the same month. Month 5 I stayed on 15, but noticed it stopped workingish around the end of the month, it’s better than nothing but when it comes to studying it’s still a doozy and it usually wears off around 4-6 hours for me so I kept running out of focus ability when I need it the most! For reference my days are usually very long, anywhere from 12-16 hours or needing focus. Maybe a break here and there for food or mental rest; but otherwise I cannot afford to slow down as slowing down puts me behind. Anyway; I’m on month 6 now.
The Now: I was prescribed a booster dose of 5mg IR by my doctor, I was excited to try it as it seems just like what I needed, especially after doing research on it! The issue is, I’m three days in and the IR is messing with me badly! If I take it around 3/4pm I can’t sleep that night; and if I do fall asleep I wake up atleast twice and hour and the sleep is almost worthless. I’ve tried it in the AM as well, thinking I’ll take it at 8, then my XR at 12 to combat the crash. Nope; same issues except I was more able to notice them. Around 15 minutes to 90 minutes I feel pretty great, between the 90-120 minutes my anxiety rises, focus drops, I begin to panic and my eyes just feel like they’re gonna pop out of my head! Day three same thing! I thought maybe the IR was hitting just to high of levels in my system at once then crashing around the 4 hour mark leaving me terrible from 90 minute to 6/7 hours, but today I took an XR 15mg at the 90ish minute mark when I felt the anxiety and focus issues starting and about 30 minutes later I was dialed back in and in a good mood, totally stopped the panic, anxiety and focus issues. What do you think could be causing this? Am I digesting it to fast and crashing early? Should I go up? Could it be to low of a dose as adderall XR is kinda like a 7.5mg IR twice? Should I split the IR into 2.5 and try them 90 minutes apart? I’m trying to get back into my doctor but with laws on adderall in the government I’m doubtful he’ll be able to adjust me to a 20mg XR for atleast the next month. Not a him thing but a rule he has to follow. I should also note I’ve taken a 5mg XR at 6pm once as I needed the focus for a night exam 8-10pm and I slept fine at 11:45pm. I’ve also taken a 20MG XR before and felt great, but the effects didn’t really last long enough again.
TLDR: 5MG ir is messing with me and, crashing at 90 minutes maybe? I’ve tolerated 15mgXR fine for 2ish month but effects aren’t lasting. I’ve tried 20XR and it’s perfect but effects are to short as well.

Hi all. I'm I guess a "semi-pro" home produceengineemixer. I have received education from a recording school and have had made some money off my mixing and production work, but I don't think I would call myself a full on professional by any means as it is not my full time day job and I certainly wouldn't feel comfortable if my favorite band suddenly reached out and wanted me to record their next big record. However, I would probably feel comfortable recording a brand new band of teenagers making their first record. Just getting that out of the way so you all know where my skill level is at.
Now to my question. Over the past couple of years I've moved on from recording mostly electronic music/hip hop where the only live instrument is vocals to now recording more live instruments like drums, guitar and bass. Particularly in the pop-punk/emo/alternative rock genre. Essentially returning to my roots as these were the genres I grew up playing in bands but never recording or mixing other than home demos on a 4 track.
I've read / watched videos a lot about fret buzz being something to avoid and try to eliminate the best you can. Prior to this I didn't think much of it at all unless it was super annoying and obvious. So then I became obsessive on re-recording takes and punching in to eliminate it. Setting up the bass over and over again, etc.
But then yesterday I decided to look at some recording sessions of some of my favorite bands. In the past I signed up for URM Academy's nail the mix and they provide full tracks of sessions of some bands in my genre.
I was shocked to discover that the bass di tracks on basically all these super professional and amazing sounding records were virtually littered with bass fret buzz all over. Especially the faster, heavier pop-punk songs choruses.
Two of the more popular songs I'm talking about are: Neck Deep - Can't Kick Up The Roots & State Champs - Secrets
In the mix you can't hear it at all, and in my opinion these are solid if not great mixes, at the very least they are at a level that I aspire to get to.
So essentially I have answered my own question in a way. If these records I think sound great have fret buzz all over them then it clearly isn't an issue. But then that leaves me with another question.
Why have I read so much advice saying to eliminate it? Is there some truth to that too? Are there situations where that should be followed more? Is not caring about it more genre specific to this style of rock music where the bass guitar usually has a lot of grit to it? If I am tasked with recording say a slow and chill pop record or vibey jazz or something else in the future should I be more concerned about it for those types of songs?

A chuubyou who loves Kamen Rider that somehow opens his aura nodes and decides to develop these Hatsu based on those masked heroes he likes the most.
Masked Rider (100% Conjuration): The user conjures an armor covering himself from head to toe. The armor with the main color is black. It helps boost his strength, speed, durability, flexibility, etc.
Conditions:
-He must wear his self-customized belt and say the word “Henshin” to be able to use this hatsu.
-If he also performs hand motion while transforming, he would gain a mild power boost.
-This Hatsu can only be used against those he thinks are evil. (*)
-The more people near him needs to be protected, the stronger he becomes. (**)
Duo Form (100% Conjuration / 60% Manipulation): User conjures a futuristic motorcycle to ride, and the motorcycle can tranform into a robot (similar like this) - Nen Beast. one wheel becomes its shield for defending the user or throwing them out to attack. His armor main color remains.
Power Form (100% Conjuration / 60% Enhancement): He conjures a exoskeleton that enhance his overall physical power to an extent. While in this form, his armor main color turns crimson.
Blaster Form (100% Conjuration / 40% Emission): He conjures shoulder canons with one on each sides that shoot aura ball, causing mild explosion upon contact with things. He can also charge the canons before firing to create a much denser aura ball. While in this form, his armor main color turns turquoise.
Saber Form (100% Conjuration / 80% Transmutation): He conjures a lightsaber. The blade of the sword is made from his transmuted aura which mimics super heated plasma. The blade can burn through anything. While in this form, his armor main color turns golden.
Final Form/Mecha Form (100% Conjuration / 80% Transmutation / 60% Manipulation / 60% Enhancement / 40% Emission): He combines all the Forms together.
First, he wears the exoskeleton (Power Form) and the shoulder canons (Blaster Form).
Then, his motorcycle (Duo Form) transforms into mecha. It attaches to his armor, and connects with both the exoskeleton and the shoulder canons seamlessly.
Finally, his left hand holds the wheel as shield while his right hand holds the lightsaber (Blaster Form). While in this form, his armor main color turns white.
Conditions:
-He must wear the armor and say the word “Evol” to be able to use this hatsu.
-It inherits the other two conditions of Masked Rider. (*)(**)
-He could only enter this form for 5 minutes before going into cooldown state (48h).

After the war with Institute the First Fire Section of Concord is created.
-A month after the creation of the first fire section of Concord two new special units were made: The Castle Crushers and Bunker Builders. The Castle Crushers were a special unit that specialised in offensive operations in every type of terrain. They consisted of two power armour squads and one covert squad. Bunker Builders specialised in building of defensive constructions. They consisted of two engineering squads and one heavy machine guns squad.
-On the 2088 Island of Far Harbour. Fog condensers started to break down. As the fog closed in on the people of the island they emigrated to the commonwealth and settled on the Spectacle island. After few days they got approached by the minutemen with an offer of joining to the organisation. After series of discussions they agreed to join.
-On 27/03/88 The Concord Reorganised Territory was brought to life. The treaty established a Democratic country that consisted of: Sanctuary, Concord (as the capital), Abernathy Town, Drumlin Caravan Hub (from which supplies would be distributed) and the Military Base 111 (as the CRT's military base of operation). The whole thing was rigged by the minutemen high command to centralize the commonwealth one by one. In following months more areas would become part of the CRT.
-As the Minutemen started to become more organized the topic of a standard issue weapon was brought to light. The final decision was to keep the laser musket for now in the long stock long barrel configuration and as a secondary weapon the revolver in 38 configuration. But in following months the 10mm pistol replaced it as molds for 10mm pistol parts were found and put into use inside the Saugus Ironworks.
-On 05/04/88 a bunker containing over 200 Thompson submachine guns was found. It was split between CRT and the Minutemen and became the new standard issue weapon for both factions.

• The Saugus Ironworks were just a stronghold for the Minutemen. But after the First Conference of Fort Liberty (aka the Castle) it was decided to create a array of wind turbines that would once again activate the heart of the ironworks to start the production of equipment for the Minutemen. First was the 10mm pistol and then after creating molds for the Thompson it was too put into production.

-During the First Conference of Fort Liberty it was decided that civilians would not be allowed in to the Castle's perimeter. To accommodate all that lived inside the fortresses walls the body of water next to it was dryed out to build new homes. A wall was built around the site with guard towers to protect the more sensitive part of the building site.
-On 31/04/88 the Rat squad of the Castle Crushers had located a chinese submarine. It was decided to check what was inside of it. During the raid one chinese ghoul was captured and several feral ones were shot and killed. After checking it was found that the submarine was in a repairable state. With the help of institute scientists the boat was repaired and became the mobile headquarters of the Castle Crushers after being renamed to MNV "Catfish".
-On the 25/05/88 MNV "Catfish" has swam to the coast near Quincy and all of the Castle Crushers has exited the submarine to begin the operation. After 3 hours of fighting all of the Gunners of Quincy had either died or fled. Quincy would be once again established as a trading city where the first Quincy Fire Group would be established making the number of official Minutemen militia 45 soldiers.

• On 06/06/88 A four days long joint military operations were conducted by the Minutemen with the brotherhood of steel. First stage was familiarising with each others equipment. Second stage was a laser fight (using laser rifles weaken down just to lightly burn) conducted in Boston airport. The third stage was taking down the legendary behemoth named swan. All three stages were conducted successfully and helped in Minutemen-Brotherhood relations in the long run.

-After joint military exercises with the Brotherhood the Minutemen had purchased two vertibirds for stable food deliveries and valuable technology. Minutemen with the help of institute scientists had made their own version of the vertibird using ones that they purchased.
-A month since the immigration of Far Harbour residents New Far Harbour would be established. There with the help of Minutemen and the Brotherhood (after the joint military trainings) a democratic country would be established. As a part of the help for new formed SIR (Spectacle Island Republic) a training of a single Marine Corp would be conducted by Brotherhood and Minutemen instructors. The Corp would consist of 25 men in five soldiers squads. Those Marines would be equipped with special Marines Armours brought from the Far Harbour. Minutemen instructors would teach the recruits about the terrain of the commonwealth and guerrilla fighting styles whilst the Brotherhood instructors would teach about discipline and military doctrines.
-On the 27/06/88 in the capital of CRT a lot of business started to pop up like: Johnson's Typewriters Company, Toyland, The Big Stick Armoury and The Liberty Clinic. Also a school was opened with professors from the institute. A chapter of the church of all faiths was allowed to settle. All this was thanks to a series of laws passed by the High Council Of Concord.
-On the 01/07/88 a gathering of all the representatives of the commonwealth had begun. The representatives of: Minutemen, Brotherhood, Diamond City, Bunker Hill, CRT, Gunners, RSI, Good Neighbor and 6 other independent villages had gathered in the Parliament of CRT. There they have cleared up their relations to one another and decided to build a heavy cruiser that could enforce any further decisions and rules. The construction would start in the RSI. Every participant of the gathering would contribute to the construction in some way or another.
-On the 06/07/88 a conference was held to settle the borders of the Commonwealth. There an agent of the railroad showed up to make a secret amendment was made to isolate certain lands of wastes the plan was to grant them breathing space and keep the base a secret. During the conference the Brotherhood was granted the peninsula where the Boston airport is. CRT got a big chunk of the Commonwealth as they were powerful and were supported by the Minutemen. The Minutemen mostly retained their old territory's and a little bit of new land. The independent villages got around two kilometres in every side from their centre. Gunners were restricted to their old territory's without Quincy.
-After the Diamond City conference the CRT had seen the potential of other factions and decided to acquire some kind of leverage against other powers of the commonwealth. Firstly they recruited the scientists from the Concord university. Then they hauled three vertibirds that had crashed before the war after that they hauled three APC's that can be seen around military checkpoints. After two months all of them were in a working condition. With that two new branches of the CRT military were created: CAG (Concord Air Guard) and CAF (Concord Armoured Force). The CAG's base of operations was CAG Satellite Station Olivia and CAF's was Military Base 111.
-On the 21/07/88 CRT has established the Commonwealth Intelligence Bureau. It was an organisation made with the help of Minutemen and Concord University. With a standing force of 20 agents from all over commonwealth that worked in sectors in which they were born, it's task was to gather intel and test prototypes, every agent was equipped with the newest technology provided by Concord University.
-On 06/08/88 the minutemen had decided to expand its navy. A ship would be constructed armed with a 57mm double cannon in the front and a 20mm anti-aircraft cannon in the back. It would be constructed on a pre-war fishing boat hull also it would be equipped with a radio that had strong enough signal to connect to the satellite array in the minutemen control.
-On 21/10/88 the minutemen and CRT had unionized with leaders of minutemen having more power but adopting the CRT constitution. The new organisation would be called CMR (Commonwealth of Massachusetts Republic).
-After the Concord Union the SIR has looked to join as the food supplies weren't plentiful. Needing to buy food from Minutemen cities. The leaders of SIR wanted to retain their power but be able to count on stable food supplies that would be free. They got what they wanted.
-A second siege of Quincy had begun. The gunners equipped with better guns than ever before have attacked Quincy. But the supresive fire from newly built USS Commonwealth had helped win the battle. After repelling the invaders it was noticed that the advanced equipment they possessed came from the Brotherhood.
-On December 3, 2289, Capral Clallum of the CMR was giving a speech in Concord to alleviate fears of raider attention in the nearby areas.
In a nearby building, a former BoS Knight who had deserted his post named Brett Walker had a scoped bolt-action pipe rifle which he had brought up with him.
The speech had lots of security however it was somewhat difficult to pinpoint how Walker had bypassed them.
At roughly 8 minutes into the speech the gunman fired and hit Clallum first in the lower neck, and then a second later the head. Clallum was killed immediately by the second shot.
The gunman was apprehended 6 minutes later and did not resist arrest. He was imprisoned in a CMR facility with a life sentence.
The assassination eventually lead to the discovery of the Left Hand.
-Shortly after the assassination of Caprul Clallum of the CMR, the gunman Brett Walker was interrogated and revealed that he was an AWOL Brotherhood knight.
CMR’s CIB (Commonwealth intelligence bureau) told him that he would live if he told them his motive.
Walker explained that a secret organization within the brotherhood called the Left Hand who wanted to eliminate all other factions to make the Brotherhood the sole dominators on the East Coast (and possibly the continent) had employed him to kill the general.
He complied with them due to an unexplained hatred against the CMR and explained that Left Hand were growing and planning a coup d’état against the east coast brotherhoods current leadership. -The combined discovery of the Left Hand and the scandal at Quincy had made the CMR very suspicious of the BoS’s true motives.
On January 3rd, 2289, a new division of the CIB was formed called the ‘Peace Division’. This was not made known to general people or low ranked CMR members due to the nature of the division.
The Peace Division was made up of loyal but not well known and skilled soldiers, with a rigorous and extensive training to prepare for their roles.
Members of the division would join the BoS to spy and inform on both the BoS itself and the other threat of the Left Hand.
The CMR also decided to not inform the leadership of the BoS of the Left Hand yet.
Communications between both sides began to be less friendly as the Brotherhood became aware of the position of the CMR and their suspiciousness of the Brotherhood.
Although they didn’t know exactly why yet, the Brotherhood figured it was due to the liberation of Quincy and the guns they had sold to the gunners.
Although originally, the sell was not intended to hurt the CMR, the Brotherhood became aware of the dangerousness towards the CMR’s position and allowed the Gunners to proceed anyways.
-Seeing raider raids coming from the glowing see CMR with the cooperation of Atom cultists had created a special firing squad compressed of two infantry squads and one support squad. MDC would use chemical weapons and radiation weapons to their advantage against human enemies. Most of the manpower would come from the coast part of the atom cult and its existence would anger all of Far Harbour immigrants (Marines included). MDC would be free to celebrate their beliefs but wouldn't be allowed to convert civilians that weren't willing to do so. MDC members would wear khaki cloaks, gas masks, grey helmets and knee pads. The rest of the equipment would come from themselves. CMR would give them Thompsons and 10mm pistols but sometimes a Fat man would be given to one of the soldiers.
-In the glowing sea, a nuclear bomb that had not yet detonated had been resting since 2077. On February 5th 2289, for unknown reasons, the bomb finally detonated, further irradiating the area and causing even more destruction.
The full power of the full sized nuclear bomb was so large that it caused constant rad storms and lots more radiation blowing in the wind around the Commonwealth.
CMR radiation teams stationed near the glowing sea first detected increasing amounts of radiation on the 7th of February and contacted headquarters in Concord.
CMR stations received word from CMR Radio Tower AE-114 (near where the radiation teams first detected rads) on February 11th stated that they were all feeling sick and feeling symptoms of rad sickness.
They explained that they were almost out of Rad-Away and wanted to evacuate however they were being attacked for unknown reasons by Gunners and it was dangerous to leave the safety of the radio station.
3 days later the first expedition team arrived at the scene and it was discovered that the CMR stationed there had all turned into feral ghouls.
The Gunners fighting there were now trying to kill the ghouls and a few had been killed on both sides. The CMR troops arrived and engaged the Gunners.
After the battle which lasted an hour, the CMR team was victorious. On the Gunner Captain’s body, they found a message.
The message detailed that the team had been hired by the Brotherhood of Steel to take any classified information from the station at all costs and to kill anyone there.
-When the information about Brotherhood paying for attacks on CMR locations was brought to the army command a plan was quickly drawn. It would consist of stages and its purpose was to steal the Prydwen and demand the Brotherhood to leave the Commonwealth on foot. An ambiguous plan but a doable one. 1 stage: relay the plan to the peace division. 2 stage: hire the gunners to turn on their employers. 3 stage: make the atom cultists (not part of the MDC) and gunners storm the defences of the airport. 4 stage: land the vertibirds on Prydwen with Castle Crushers squads 1 and 2 onboard. 5 stage: take control of Prydwen and fly off to the Castle and anchor it. The whole of the plan was up for debate and would play out during an radstorm.
-A second plan for a attack on the Brotherhood was to perform an amphibious on the airport. But two types of vehicles were needed. An amphibian tank and a APC. In the base 111 a group of scientists worked on the project: Sullivan McGregor, Professor Li, Sophia Goodman and Abraham Goldstein. Two Fully working vehicles were created: MAAV1 (Massachusetts Army Amphibious Vehicle) and MAAT1 (Massachusetts Army Amphibious Tank). After testing both were accepted into service with an order for 2 each type.
-Not wanting to spell bloodshed immediately CMR had invited all organisations in the Commonwealth to Diamond City to demand eviction of the Brotherhood from the Commonwealth. On 23/02/89 the case was opened and ready to be dissected. In following weeks many attempts at sabotaging the case followed. From stealing evidence to assassination attempts. Many representatives switched sides every day but finally the Brotherhood was proven to be at fault and subsequently were punished by needing to take back their part of the crew from USS Commonwealth and required to give 50% of settlements under their control to the CMR and in need of food it was to be bought from CMR. It was hoped that Brotherhood's reliance on CMR food deliveries would mean peace, but that thinking might be brought into question in the future...
-Knowing that for sure the railroad had agents within CMR, the highest army command had met in a pre-war bunker that was previously flooded with water to make sure no bugs were planted within it. Only the command was there no bodyguards. Inside a plan was formed to get a CIB agent in the railroad. A new agent was recruited to make sure that the operation remained a secret. After days of gruelling tests the agent was ready. After two weeks of getting information on the railroad from the public, the second stage was set off. After another week the agent got in. Through learning the code from the scattered letters around Boston the agent opened the secret vault under the church. After railroad trials to make sure that he was to be trusted, the agent begun gathering intel.
-As the Brotherhood civil war was going on the CMR and the Brotherhood had worked on a weapon that could be more powerful than power armour. To start the legs were elongated to be 10 cm taller than a normal set. Inside of the free space inside the legs amortization was placed to help with very long falls, as normal power armour would survive a high fall but it's user had a chance of dieing. A third arm was placed on the back fitted with a heavy machine gun that followed where was the user looking. In the corner of the armour's HUD a little screen was placed that allowed the user to look behind him (on the back a camera was placed). Also a rangefinder and a internal long distance radio station were fitted to convey acccurate intel on large distances. At the cost of the thickness of the armour various systems were installed. Like: internal oxygen tank to ensure safety in high places, underwater or in case of an toxic gases; an steel cutter to rescue trapped teammates; stronger exoskeleton with higher power to be faster, stronger and to carry all the new heavy equipment. Only two were created with one send to the Brotherhood and the second was given to the Castle Crushers.
-With the main attention of the CMR at the Brotherhood civil war there was a need for a new Firing Group that could protect the frontier. Equipped with scouting and mountaineer equipment the 1st Pioneer Firing Group was made.
-After renovating the section of Boston railway mostly hand cracked vehicles were used for transport. On the 24/06/89 the "Concord Merchant was released onto the tracks of Boston making some caravans change their routes as supplies were already delivered there by rail.
-The Vault Bureau and the Union of Old America
On May 20th 2288, the Vice President of the CMR announced the creation of the Vault Bureau and the subsequent action of the Vault Integration Act.
This would permit all operational, stable vaults designated area close to CMR territory and all unworking and abandoned vaults also to be subject to CMR law and occupation.
The only exception was Vault 111 which would remain a grave due to the significance to the CMR general, Nate.
Some vaults upon learning of this agreed to join the CMR and were happy to join a new, stable and seemingly positive group, a great change from what they mostly expected from wastelanders.
However, most of the vaults did not want to join, and representatives from 10 different vaults in the area (note: I am adding some fictional vaults here, these go over the official number of vaults) met in Vault 130 to discuss unification.
This ended in agreement, and the new nation the Union of Old America was formed, consisting of 18 vaults (including 8 that joined days later and weren’t present at the first congress).
The UOA subjugated nearby small towns mostly peacefully, although gunfire was exchanged with 2 deaths on the UOA side in the small community of Morgan Ferry.
The UOA also declared in their second meeting of representatives to discuss new plans, deals and issues that the vaults which has joined the CMR were traitors to the old United States and should leave at once.
-Military reorganization
In the CMR, the military was made up of many poorly trained militia members and conscripts.
In June 2288, the general of the CMR Armed Forces decided to start a military reorganization.
Troops of the CMR got better training, weaponry, and technology at the cost of a short economic downturn.
A new type of infantry armor and a new type of power armor were both made, the power armor model being called the AMAX-89, being based off the ‘Black Devil’ model of the enclave, and the infantry armor being based off the designs of the NCR due them both having known reliability.
This act legitimized the CMR’s military and reduced the amount of untrained militia fighters on the battlefield.
-The USS Commonwealth disaster
On February 8th, 2289, the Commonwealth's largest and most advanced naval vessel, the USS Commonwealth, suffering from a disaster that almost led to a total sinking.
At roughly 8:00 AM, the Commonwealth was being transported to an alternate position for some minor repairs.
In a position that was supposed to be checked for hazard weeks earlier, multiple naval mines of unknown origin had been in the water.
At 8:21 AM, the Commonwealth hit one mine on her starboard (right) side, close to her bow (front). Seconds later, she hit another on her starboard side, this time closer to the stern (back).
The ship began to list (tilt) heavily, with almost a 25 degree list in just 5 minutes. The ship’s watertight bulkheads were dropped and halted the flooding of the water. Hand-cranked pumps were used to pump the majority of the water out.
In panic and not wanting to lose their new flagship so quick, the CMR called an emergency meeting in Lexington and assembled an elite crisis response team called the Commonwealth Advanced Crisis Unit.
The response unit repaired the ship over time, and by February 18th, the ship was as good as new.
31 died in the incident, 6 from the initial explosions and the other 25 from drowning.
The formation of the Advanced Crisis Unit was one of the first legitimate crisis response teams in all of the former US, and paved the way for the modern idea of organized emergency services in the Commonwealth.
-LAS-G7
Seeing that the Brotherhood's and CMR's armies had not a very easy time getting ammunition for waging war against the Left Hand, Concord University had begun working on a energy weapon that could be reloaded on front without getting new energy cells. The first batch of prototypes were very heavy and clunky like: LAS-G1;2;3;4 and 5 but LAS-G6 was pretty lightweight, slim, cheap, easy to use and wouldn't take a lot of time to charge BUT it wasn't very powerful and the internal battery meant that a Firing Group would need to retreat from battle after just an hour to recharge their LAS-G's (aka. Las Guns). The LAS-G7 combined the strengths of its predecessor having a good stopping power, short time of charging, not a very costly design and a light skeleton. Whilst having new features like a easy to take apart chassis and a battery that could be taken out of the gun and charged in the backpack of the soldier. To add to the firepower of a LAS squad the LAS-HMG was made being capable of penetrating heavy armour (in AP type), mow down infantry (in the full auto configuration), and blast ball of energy to an entrenched enemy (in Shock-Troop selection). It had its drawbacks like being very heavy, long reloading time and more.
-MNV "North Star"
The Brotherhood civil war was waged near the sea and the main base of the CAF was miles away from the front. In need of a mobile airbase the cargo ship near Quincy was cleared out sealed and tugged to the Spectacle Island dock yard. There the main deck was cleared and readied for vertibirds. After a month of repairs the carrier was set sail.
-Penal Legions
After the LAS-G rifles were made it became obvious that there wasn't enough manpower on the front. With that a series of anti-raider raids were made by the Massachusetts Death Corp in and around the frontier to capture and not kill bandits. After that the captured were given an offer: Join the war and get freedom or be executed in Concord square. Obviously most took up the offer and with that a 100 man Legion was made, it was equipped with LAS-G6 rifles as they were cheap and and couldn't get recharged if a Fire Section leader didn't do so himself, ensuring that the Legion wouldn't go rogue.
-Springfield expansion
Though the BCW (Brotherhood civil war) was going on, the expansion of CMR wasn't waiting. The next task was to expand to the area of Springfield and deeper into the west Massachusetts.
-Weird discovery
When entering ruins of Springfield two not seen before animals were discovered both named after being classified by ex institute biologist Dr. Richard Williams. A "horse" and a "chicken" both were great for farm livestock.
-UOA controversy
After entering Springfield and begin more expansion, the CMR decided it was time to act on the Union of Old America, who had been dismissing annexation attempts for months. The CMR held a meeting between multiple leading figures and decided a military confrontation was the best decision.
CMR and UOA forces met at Vault 129 in an armed standoff. The UOA militia was lacking in weaponry but largely outnumbered the CMR force. The CMR commander shouted through a megaphone a request to meet the leader of high executive in the Vault.
The UOA militia refused and tensions heightened. Both sides began to berate each other and both called each other dangerous and unnecessary. It is unknown who fired first, but a shot was fired and immediately a full battle began. Despite being better equipped, the CMR force was mostly captured with multiple wounded and 2 killed of a 19 man force.
This was later discovered to be caused by an unnoticed preparation by the UOA, who anticipated the CMR force and set up ambush positions.
-Operation "Radstorm"
Wanting to end the Brotherhood civil war, CMR had Gathered it's fleet at Spectacle Island to bombard the Boston airport and then send soldiers to deal with what remained. On 23/11/89 2:45 PM the bombardment commenced with all of 38 cannons (+ 5 artillery pieces that were in range) that were available the fortifications and headquarters of the Left Hand were turned into rubble. Then using vertibirds and MAAV1 and MAAT1 the Infantry deployed and fought for 5 hours until the last of defenders who didn't flee died. This would come to shape the tactics that the CMR would use in the future.
-M1SMG and the Springfield Steelworks
After entering Springfield a Museum was discovered containing many artifacts like schematics of weapons. In those a schematic was found which presented a submachine gun that used a minimal amount of resources and was so simple in production that local gunsmiths could make it in their workshops without issue. It was taken as a new primari weapon for low priority units. With that a steelworks was made in Springfield to mass produce the weapon with scrap metal and send it across the CMR so a big standing force would able to be made.
-Dissolving the Penal Legions
After the Brotherhood Civil War was finished, the CMR kept true to their promise but they gave a choice: you leave the Legion and get a home in Springfield and a job at the Ironworks or you stay and fight with better conditions than before and get paid for it. That said only 30 people accepted the offer to stay, those people became part of the new First Springfield Cavalry Firing Group and the First Springfield Armoured Cavalry Firing Group.
-Internal changes in the CMR
Due to territory expansion and the unreliable structure of the Concord council, a new system was placed in power. The CMR territory was divided into Commonwealths, and the power structure was rebuilt. The House of representatives would consist of 100 seats with each representative from top 100 settlements (population speaking). The Parliament would consist of 2 elected from the representatives (2 for every Commonwealth for example there are 3 Commonwealths so there are 6 members of the Parliament) at the moment there are 3 Commonwealths: Commonwealth of New Hampshire, Commonwealth of Springfield and the Boston Commonwealth. The House of Representatives will discuss reforms and vote which ones will go to the Parliament for further decisions. The Parliament will pass or veto reforms, in case of a veto the House of representatives will discuss the reform again and vote on it if 70 representatives will vote in its favour it goes to the Parliament again, then they will vote on it if they decide to veto again, they will need to describe the problem with the reform, in case of the representatives wanting to vote again the reform will be passed to the people for them to vote on it. The Parliament and the House of representatives vote on reforms in the Massachusetts State House. Due to the government changes the name of the CMR was changed to CMF (Commonwealth of Massachusetts Federation).
-Northern League-CMF Agreements
Contact and diplomatic relations were established between the CMF and Northern League in Mid-2290. The Northern League was a major force established in what used to be the Northern United States (in what also used to be Canada before it’s annexation. The country was a large union with a monopoly on trade in the area due to many resources, and newfound oil supplies. The League itself was a union between New Ottawa (formerly Ottawa), Sherbrooke, Marshall City (formerly Montreal) and Québec City as well as smaller towns and cities in between the larger ones, with the capital being Marshall City. It is also believed it’s government was initially formed by surviving groups of Canadians after the war who had been parts of guerrilla movements to get the US out of Canada.
The League’s strong military and conscription laws, taxation policies and overall stability gave it a similar status to that of the NCR, although smaller and confined to the East. As trade relations improved the CMF began to increase in its own strength even more as they now had more oil for vehicles, more materials for weapons and other equipment, and enough food being grown and produced that newly packaged food en masse, some of the first since the Great War, was slowly becoming available in society.
-War on Raiders
In November 2290, a group of raiders organized and attacked the small community of Horseshoe Circle in CMF territory, close to the coast. After the civilians fought back and contacted nearby CMF units, the Raiders fought harder and ended up defeating them. The raiders lined up any survivors against the local City Hall and executed them. Around 76 died in total in the incident.
Afterwards, the horrified and furious CMF Law Enforcement Committee organized a huge division called the ‘Anti-Barbarism Unit.’ This units primary goal would be to combat raiders, bandits, and assist those suffering from raider attacks. In the capital of the CMF, Concord, war was declared on all raiders and a statement was put out that any raiders who entered the CMF territories, attacked CMF citizens or otherwise endangered lives and caused chaos in the Commonwealth would be sentenced to death if caught.
The CMF began active operations to quell and destroy raider cells.
-Concord Autoworks
In collaboration with Springfield Ironworks, a new government-run company known as Concord Autoworks was formed in the CMF. This company would be focused purely on making working ground automobiles which was something excessively rare in the post-war world.
-Industrialization Act of 2291
On February 1st, 2291 the Industrialization Act was passed which would begin the construction of more factories for hopefully more jobs and more luxuries like cars, built-well houses, as well as helping contribute to a stable currency
-CA Infantry Carriage M1
Wanting to grant infantry protection and fast travel without very pricy refiting of pre-war APC's the Concord Autoworks had designed the CAIC M1. With good armour and a capacity of 6 soldiers (including the driver) it was mostly a platform to build on for example: adding a small caliber artillery cannon instead off infantry space, adding a roof and a turret to create a APC with good punching power or adding a mini crane and tool spaces to create a mobile engineering vehicle. The options are endless.
-Nakho Epidemic
In early 2292, a disheveled and dirty traveler arrived at the merchant circle in Bunker Hill (at this point under CMF control) and then collapsed. Examination quickly showed he was dead, and from the Northern League. A group of doctors went to inspect his body when they noticed strange sores and fluids coming from the man.
They took him in for further analysis, and a few days later, the doctors became terribly sick, but had unintentionally already spread it to many at Bunker Hill. The disease was the same given by the dead man, and with the status of Bunker Hill as an important trading and merchant area, many were infected and then spread it through caravans.
The disease was highly deadly and absolutely miserable for any infected, with a death rate of about 60% and very contagious. The CMF issued an official quarantine over the area which forced civilians to stay inside unless they they absolutely had to leave while the brightest medical minds of the CMF begin to try and find a cure.
The disease was named the Nakho Virus.
-Dreyfuss act.
Wanting to regulate the amount of men at arms the House of Representatives has passed an act to limit and set goals for the amount of menpower in the army. It was decided that:
-2500 infantry men would be deployed around the Commonwealths, 1250 of them mechanized and motorized with 625 mechanized in squads of 5, and the other 625 motorized in squads of 10 (5 men in each group dedicated to leadership). All of those split into 5 combat groups: Group North in charge of defending north wastes, Group Boston garrisoning Boston and surrounding areas, Group Rhodes deployed on the CMF-UOA border to attack and defend, Group Springfield defending the industrial sector and also the frontier, Group Central responding to reinforcements requests.
-60 vertibirds: 50 split between the Groups and 10 on the MNV North Star.
-unlimited amount of militiamen supplied with SMG M1 and basic military uniforms.
Further editions are to be passed as the need for more army men will grow.
-F-1; F-2 and F-3
Planning to wipe out the UOA once and for all the CMF army command commissioned an jet aircraft capable of delivering payload for long distance and scouting. The Concord University's brightest minds had worked tirelessly on a design and a prototype coming up with 3 different designs:
•F-1 a light craft with 4 .50 cal machine guns and a recon camera. Mostly made as a base for two next fighter-bombers;
•F-2, it's equipment consisted of two 20mm auto-cannons fed explosive ammunition, also with a recon camera. Made as a final product but was deemed not heavy enough;
•F-3, the final product equipped with a pair of 20mm auto-cannons and a single .50 cal machine gun, also with a recon camera but could be switched for a bombing camera after confirming the location of a target, it had two 50kg bombs and a single 100kg bomb. In front of the 100kg bomb was a 10, 10 cal long rocket launching pod. The jet had a effective combat range of 350 km. Unlike it's predecessors it had a crew of 2: one pilot and one bomb operator.
General characteristics
Crew: 1 (2 in case of the F-3)
Length: 37 ft 1 in (11.30 m)
Wingspan: 39 ft 1 in (11.91 m)
Height: 14 ft 1 in (4.29 m).
Two F-3 were made, both being on the MNV North Star. With hull changes and adding a Air control tower to the ship.
-The Workers Party (WP)
Is as the name suggests a party for the betterment of working standards and other pro labour laws. It has an average amount of seats in the House of Representatives.
-Cleanse, Purge and Prosper (CPP) is a staunch anti-ghoul and anti-supermutant party which has been often accused of being a ploy of the Brotherhood of Steel. It only has one seat in the House of Representatives.
-MCW.Co
The Massachusetts Clean Water.Co, is a government company made to build public water purifiers around Massachusetts with the current goal is to build a basic sewage system in Boston, Quincy and Concord (Sanctuary included inside of the Concord system)
-Repairs of the 90th
A fast way to get from Boston to Springfield didn't exist until now. Only 3 lanes of the road were repaired with the rest planned for repairs 3 months after the first three. 2 lanes were for automobiles and the third for Caravans that couldn't afford cars.
-MEC (Massachusetts Electricity Company)
Problem with individual electricity grids for each settlement is that pollution affects crops and health of the people. So the MEC was formed to confiscate individual grids and combine them into a single grand power station, so far a GG (grand grid) was only made in Boston effectively allowing for resettlement of old skyscrapers and buildings with proper mostly unfaulty energy.
Quite a long read but a required one. Thanks to u/Eestirussia (now u/longmanhijacked2 ) for contributing with his amazing writing skills. Will pin the post for the future generations.

Hi all,
I’m going to try and keep this precise but it’s hard to get all the information in here without missing out important stuff.
In September 2022, my mum started taking SAMe supplement. I had been taking it since October 2021 (on and off) and it had worked for me; I suffer from chronic anxiety and panic attacks, as well as OCD. My mum decided to take it to combat her low mood as well as to help her knee: it states online that it’s good for joints. Anyway, not even a week after she started the dose, she started to exhibit very odd behaviour such as: insomnia, loss of appetite, short fuse, aggression and high energy bursts. For some reason, we didn’t think anything of it. Then from October to beginning of December my mum wasn’t taking same supplement, as it had ran out and the pills are delivered from the States so they took two months to arrive.
Flash to middle of December; my mum has started taking SAMe again and is not exhibiting the same behaviour as September but this time way worse, to the point where I wanted to move out, it was so bad. She was literally in Mania for 3 weeks. She barely slept or ate. She was in a manic episode for the first time ever. We ended up finding articles online about people who had gone into psychosis because of this supplement and she immediately came off of it. Within 3 weeks, she was back to “normal”.
Now, March 2023, the problems have started again yet this time it’s different and this time, she isn’t on SAMe anymore. She went on holiday for 5 weeks and returned seemingly normal, however after being back for 7 days she’s suddenly not eating, not getting out of bed, not showering, not answering the phone and almost acting as if she’s loosing the will to live. She’s also having delusions in my opinion, as she believes that someone she met on holiday has poisoned her or brainwashed her??? It’s all she talks about and is disregarding the fact that she’s probably going through psychosis again due to the fact that she didn’t get therapy or medication after her manic episode in December. My whole family is in a panic, as my mother is the life and party of the family. For the first time in her life she’s acting as if she doesn’t want to be here anymore and that she thinks this is it?? This has all happened in the space of 18 days and my life has been turned upside down. She’s currently at her parents house but no one knows what to do. She’s too scared to even see a therapist and I feel like I’m loosing my mind trying to get her to realise that she needs help. Does it sound like she needs mood stabilisers after her manic episode? Could this be manic depression? Does she need antidepressants? I’m a little worried about medication as I know she had an adverse side effect to SAMe which mimics SSRI’s. Also two family members have had terrible side effects with Sertraline before, so im not sure what kind of medication she can take. She’s also extremely into holistic medicine, so it can be hard to get her to take something like a prescribed antidepressant!!!
Please give any advice at all, as I’m struggling. We are from the UK by the way

In light of some recent conversations I’ve seen about playing solo vs playing with a team, I figured I’d share a few tips I have picked up on for running solo. Some of these may be common knowledge, but helpful nonetheless if you’re a newbie. Things I wish I had known when starting my DMZ journey. Lots of these tactics are great with teams as well, or are just solid DMZ tips.
1.) The key to solo DMZ is stealth. Only bring in suppressed weapons if you can. This will significantly reduce the distance other players and bots can hear you.
2.) Figure out your game plan early in the match. Right off the rip, I am identifying which exfil or hostage I’d like to use, and making my plan around that. I almost exclusively use hostage contracts when solo. Often, I will head straight to the hostage contract right off the bat to grab it and “reserve” it until I am ready to get out. That way nobody can steal it and I know where the hostage is.
3.) Always try and have a mortar strike, precision, something like that handy. These are a force multiplier and are extremely helpful if you are being sniped, pushed by an enemy team, or need to finish an downed player. You can also call it in on your exfil if are inside the helo, and as long as you aren’t right by the door or ramp, it won’t kill you if you’re inside. Good way to deter rushers.
4.) I tend to stay away from large backpacks. For only gaining two inventory slots, you are becoming much more visible from a distance and a larger target to notice. It doesn’t help that the backpack is a bright tan color either. Often when I am sniping I can spot enemy operators large backpacks from a long ways off. I stick to mediums unless I really need the large.
5.) The spotter scope is your best friend. Even if you are simply surveying an area with your sniper rifle, the moment I see that glare, I’m going to assume you are looking to kill me. So I will kill you and take your sniper for my contraband. The scope prevents this, plus has the ability to mark targets and use thermal vision.
6.) When you are looking to do your hostage and exfil, I have had great success buying an LTV or using a bot vehicle to move the hostage to the helo. You can drop them into the bed or on the roof. Much faster to get to the helo vs running, some of them can land kind of far away. Also when you have a vehicle, players are less inclined to mess with you vs a solo running through the open.
7.) If you decide to use a normal exfil, use a vehicle. Roll up, call it, drive off and keep moving, within view of the LZ. This way you are a moving target and also can see if anybody is pushing your extract. I have also noticed that even when I am solo in an LTV, players don’t want to mess with you as much. Maybe they think there are more of me. When the bird lands, park the vehicle along side the back, blocking shots from the rear. Stuns out the front doors, smoke out the back and watch all directions. Very rarely will I not get the exfil, and sometimes the vehicle has saved me from snipers just waiting to shoot inside the bird.
8.) Don’t get caught up/pinned down dealing with bots. Sometimes you must kill them to get to where you need to be, but often I will just run straight around or through them. Yes they may lick you plates off, but if you can just rush through, you’ll create much less sound and won’t risk getting surrounded and having tons of helos drop off more bots. Stuns are your friend here.
9.) Never pass by a buy without loading up on plates. I never have empty inventory slots, they either have items or plates in them. Sometimes I’m running around with 15, 18, 21 plates on me. You never know when you may need them, won’t hurt to have them. That many may be overkill, but I’d rather not need them and have them, then to need them and not have them.
10.) Learn the map. Identify which areas have good loot like the hafid ship, Al sa’id shopping center, police stations, etc. Also keep an eye on the radio towers, snipers like to hide there.
11.) Situational awareness is key. Many times I have had enemy operators run right past me or up to me not knowing I am there. Or running straight up to a buy and not checking the area around it first. Same with exfil. Keep your head on a swivel and pay attention.
12.) Understand the difference between cover and concealment. When running around, move from cover to cover. Also use concealment when possible. Cover is great for a gunfight, but sometimes hiding in a bush for concealment is the better option when avoiding enemy operators. I’ve had enemy players run right up to me many times, having no idea I was there.
13.) Don’t get tunnel vision on an objective, player, etc. Simple. Keep your eyes up and ears open.
14.) Accept that you will die sometimes. CoD is a PVP based game. Sometimes you will die to a 6 man team and lose your exfil streak. Sometimes you will die to a T3 bot swarm. It’s going to happen. Part of the fun is going for a regain run and seeing how quickly you can get kitted back up. I enjoy regain runs.
What are your thoughts, any other ideas?
Using these tactics I’ve been able to maintain my exfil streak, I believe I am around 15 exfils right now. Not crazy, but a decent number I think.
Would love additional input.

So I’ve probably been bi curious for 14 years, in that time I’ve had multiple girlfriends roll play and only one of the actually cuck me. My latest relationship I’ve tried to get her to cuck me and it hasn’t worked. I sent her a video from Reddit the other day of a cut guy with a big dick, and she said she would rather have me and “how did you find that?” I just responded “it popped up after a video I was looking at” she asked if I was gay and I said no. I told her that the body and dick were aesthetically pleasing, she then asked if I’m gay again, I said no, but I’d probably suck it. She’s grossed out now. WHAT DO I DO!?!?

Hi all,
I’m going to try and keep this precise but it’s hard to get all the information in here without missing out important stuff.
In September 2022, my mum started taking SAMe supplement. I had been taking it since October 2021 (on and off) and it had worked for me; I suffer from chronic anxiety and panic attacks, as well as OCD. My mum decided to take it to combat her low mood as well as to help her knee: it states online that it’s good for joints. Anyway, not even a week after she started the dose, she started to exhibit very odd behaviour such as: insomnia, loss of appetite, short fuse, aggression and high energy bursts. For some reason, we didn’t think anything of it. Then from October to beginning of December my mum wasn’t taking same supplement, as it had ran out and the pills are delivered from the States so they took two months to arrive.
Flash to middle of December; my mum has started taking SAMe again and is not exhibiting the same behaviour as September but this time way worse, to the point where I wanted to move out, it was so bad. She was literally in Mania for 3 weeks. She barely slept or ate. She was in a manic episode for the first time ever. We ended up finding articles online about people who had gone into psychosis because of this supplement and she immediately came off of it. Within 3 weeks, she was back to “normal”.
Now, March 2023, the problems have started again yet this time it’s different and this time, she isn’t on SAMe anymore. She went on holiday for 5 weeks and returned seemingly normal, however after being back for 7 days she’s suddenly not eating, not getting out of bed, not showering, not answering the phone and almost acting as if she’s loosing the will to live. She’s also having delusions in my opinion, as she believes that someone she met on holiday has poisoned her or brainwashed her??? It’s all she talks about and is disregarding the fact that she’s probably going through psychosis again due to the fact that she didn’t get therapy or medication after her manic episode in December. My whole family is in a panic, as my mother is the life and party of the family. For the first time in her life she’s acting as if she doesn’t want to be here anymore and that she thinks this is it?? This has all happened in the space of 18 days and my life has been turned upside down. She’s currently at her parents house but no one knows what to do. She’s too scared to even see a therapist and I feel like I’m loosing my mind trying to get her to realise that she needs help. Does it sound like she needs mood stabilisers after her manic episode? Could this be manic depression? Does she need antidepressants? I’m a little worried about medication as I know she had an adverse side effect to SAMe which mimics SSRI’s. Also two family members have had terrible side effects with Sertraline before, so im not sure what kind of medication she can take. She’s also extremely into holistic medicine, so it can be hard to get her to take something like a prescribed antidepressant!!!

Hey Happy Brides and Grooms to be. I just need to vent.
I really wanted a super easy wedding. When my partner proposed, we were looking into a big shin dig, but ultimately we decided against it. There was the money aspect, my family all argues with one another, and I have been having some unknown medical issues that become worse with stress. So we found out we can fly to Hawaii, and if we keep it under 30 people, it would be less expensive, we can spend a few days with a really tight knit group, and this wedding group takes care of getting the flowers, setting up the area, limo, bus and even made suggestions for places for dinner afterwards. Considering my fiancé and I, and my son have never gone on vacation together, we thought this would be really nice.
I understand that flying to Hawaii is a big ask, so we are inviting immediate family (parents, siblings and children) and the people we would have asked to be in our wedding party and their respective partners and that's it. I am not asking for a bridal shower, a bachelorette party, or even wedding presents. The fact they're spending three days with us is beyond more than we could ask for. We're also setting some extra funds aside in case a few people decline to come because of the cost, because we just want them with us. We have also planned over a year in advance so people can save money, and the save the dates have already gone out.
Well, we were at a family even this weekend and it was very evident that all my aunts and uncles were expecting an invitation. I haven't told anyone about our plans, except for those who have been invited, so my father (their brother) I'm not sure if my dad is telling them to plan for Hawaii when I haven't technically invited them. For reference, if we invited extended family such as aunts and uncles, it would increase our guest list by approximately 20 additional people, not counting cousins, on my father's side alone.
So this puts me in the awkward situation of standing with an aunt and uncle and my aunt is listing places she's going to visit this year and turns to me and says "I would be going to Hawaii too if you weren't waiting until next year." and my uncle chimes in that he thinks it's ridiculous I expect everyone to go to Hawaii. I apologize, and just say that we're actually keeping it very small, maybe 20 people, and the people we've invited have all pretty much been very excited about it. They essentially just nodded and turned their back on me.
This was the last straw in a bunch of people complaining we're taking too long to get married, people concerned about needing to take three days off of work (family business) and now people assuming invitations. My fiancé and I have never gone on vacation together. I almost never take time off from work. The only wedding present I've asked for is my father and step mother to take my son home with them so we can have a few extra days to honey moon together (we're having a family vacation for about 4-5 days before everyone comes in for the wedding.) We've set aside extra money so everyone can come.
I tried to do something simple but we're over a year away and I just see this getting worse and worse. I wish we would have just chosen to elope.
