2023.06.10 10:37 SPACE_TICK Won 5-way all-in with 72...

(Context: It was close to 3am. I've just finished my work and started uploading the files to the work server. The upload was going to take about 15 minutes. I had nothing to do. So, I jumped on $0.02/0.05 just to fap around.)
I played a bunch of hands. Folded a bunch. Then, I was in BB with 72 of diamonds.
UTG limped in. Clearly a trap. CO limped. BTN limped. SB completed.
Too many limpers. I had to protect my premium hand. I deviated from the GTO solver approved raise size of 2.23x. I put in a massive raise to 50c. A total Exploitative GTO move.
UTG called. CO jammed. BTN jammed. SB jammed.
72, even though suited, is probably a fold here. But, the whole card removal effect...and stuff.
I ran a bunch of solver approved calculations in my head and arrived at a perfect solution: "F*** it!".
I jammed my $4.20. UTG jammed.
  1. I knew I was good. It's hard to make a pair.
982T3 turn. I liked to think I was still good.
982TA river. I was like, "gOd I rUn BaD!!!"
I don't know what others had. The app only showed UTG's hand. Him and BTN were the only two who had me covered. So, he took down the side pot with KJo.
My immediate thought was..."What...The...F***...did the rest jam with, if they can't beat the bottom pair on that run out...?"
The upload had finished. I nearly quintupled up. Fun was had. I jumped off. Turned my computer off. And went to sleep.

2023.06.10 10:36 THEONE4685 SKR-7 OP? Don't mind the PT-810 & 811 flying under the radar

People say the SKR-7 is op, and it is. But I find it funny the PT-810 & 811 fly under the radar. Few other coastal can be taken into top tier and one tap even the heaviest battleships. The Mark 16 Torpedos are absolutely mental. Similar amounts of explosive to the Type 93s, and in some cases, more, nearly 1000kg of TNT equivalent, while weighing almost 1000kg less than Type 93s, giving it a much higher explosive to weight ratio. PT-810/811s scare me more than battleships at top tier. Love using it, hate having to constantly look out for them. And they're fast as hell too, particularly the 811. As if PT boats weren't fast enough, the 811 is metal hulled, not wood, making it so much faster.

2023.06.10 10:36 Zacker000 Facebook is listening

I've seen a lot of reports of this, and I know that Meta employees and Facebook’s publicly listed policies that they “do not use your microphone to target ads”
However,
My mum was out in the living room when she opened this nail polish remover and it reminded me of a familiar smell. It was this odd little pink glue we had that had a little stick you could blow bubbles with. I had this glue when I was around 6 years old, and haven't seen anything like it since. It took me a while to figure out exactly where the smell was from, but once I figured it out I spent around 20 seconds explaining (really loudly) to my parents exactly what it was just to see if they'd remember it too.
10 minutes later, my mum walks into my room and shows me an ad on her phone. That exact product showed up as an advertisement... With the little stick to blow the bubbles and everything. There is absolutely no way that was a co-incidence... I mean, I didn't even realize that thing still was manufactured... Ohh and of course it was a Facebook ad too, it's the only app I would be suspicious of on any phone.
What in the lying pos data collection voodoo is going on?

2023.06.10 10:33 JohnnyBlazex [Long story] Considering to go back to my ex and soulmate and asking for clear advice

2020 was the year I (M28) met my ex (F24) and we started dating from August. It was a direct hit and after the first date we texted each other every single day. I've had plenty of dates before her but this woman in particular felt different and special more than anyone else. We build up a very emotional connection together during our relationship that I've never experienced before. First we dated for half a year because she was insecure about becoming serious because of her past which I understood but slightly ignored because I was on a pink cloud up in the sky and fell in love quickly. I comforted her and I was patient towards her and told her I was 100% certain about a future with her.
In December 2020 we made it official and while I thought I finally was stepping into a healthy relationship with the love of my life it had a couple of turns which I will explain to the full detail. In this post I will also admit my own mistakes and it will be a long read I guess. I want to thank you upfront if you take the time to read this and reply with advice.
From the start of our relationship it was going like a dream. Like I finally found my best friend, soulmate, and partner whom I could trust 100% and to this day she's still the only person who I ever see myself having children with. But after 8 months of being into the relationship my ex girlfriend showed a lot of signs of insecurities. To bring it straight to the point; her previous relationships were terrible and both men cheated on her. She constantly was reaching out to me for validation and the confirmation that I won't leave or cheat on her. Her insecurities got so bad that she eventually started to go through my phone multiple times without consent, read my whatsapp conversations, went through my dm's on instagram, snapchat, kept herself up to date whom followed me on instagram and which post I liked and showed up at places such as the gym to always be with me to keep an eye on me to whom I was talking etc. She even asked people around her who knew me what kind of person I was and how I treated them etc. I never cheated in my life and I would never be capable of cheating on another person. She was screaming at me that I had female friends for years and I didn't had anything intimate with them except our friendship. I remained patient and explained myself but I felt uncomfortable because of her anger.
We've had many conversations about trust and having space and being able to do our own thing. She promised she's working on it and wanted to improve. A little further than the first year of being together in the relationship I got annoyed because her behaviour didn't improve and I started to develop further in the relationship while I had the feeling she's stuck in the same place. Every single weekend she wanted me to be with her and to do things together which was not a problem at first. But that itch I had in my thoughts started to grow bigger why she didn't hang out with friends or go out with them and I told her it would be healthy if she also had activities outside of our relationship for both our sakes.
Again, we had communicated about a lot of this and she promised to improve.
After almost 2 years of being together and nearly dating for 2,5 I started having doubts about her behaviour since she didn't really change even knowing she's trying. In this period of the relationship I started to distant myself with a result that I was going out with friends drinking beer and we smoked one joint and I started abusing and smoking joints from October till January. Since I had a very stressful period in front of me the combination of the upcoming events in my personal life such as the operation of my mother, final exams, my grandmother being 91 and in the hospital, financially struggling AND the doubts about the relationship made me abuse that shit to suppress my emotions and feelings and I got unstable and started to distant myself even more. In January I got such a bad trip that it opened my eyes and quit immediately. It was enormously wrong of me to abuse that substance and I never told her during our relationship. Right now I'm in therapy to help myself and seek advice and treatment for my past events. (Parents divorced and I was between them as a child and couple of years after that my father passed away 4 days before my 16th birthday. It took me 9 years to finally feel normal again after battling depression for so long and then I met her)
As a result of abusing weed I slept terrible and had nightmares night after night, cried a lot and hated myself for my actions. It was the final straw of me treating myself so badly and her at the same time. I was tired and exhausted while my ex got clingier and clingier because she knew something was wrong. All the stress and frustration was building up and the last couple of months of our relationship turned into endless discussions and irritations. Then I broke up with her because it was too much for both of us.
At first I felled relieved because we stopped communicating at once and I finally had a breather. But after detoxing for a while and finally being able to sleep normally and the operation of my mother going good, my grandmother recovered, my exams were going good and passing every single one of them, I started doubting myself if I made a mistake by leaving her. After a couple of months I texted her and I wanted to explain myself and I told her everything f2f about my abuse and she felt relieved that I told her. I apologized a lot, said it wasn't her fault that my mindset was terrible and that I'm bad at handling stress. That's also why I'm in therapy right now because I want to improve.
I told her that I'm not perfect and that I'm seeking help with the problems I have in my life. She admitted she's glad that I'm seeking help but she also admitted that her trust is even more broken after our break up.
I'm missing her and still have the feeling that I let go of my soulmate in a wrong way. While I'm trying to improve and work on myself she isn't getting help for her experiences. Again, I'm not perfect at all and I know my mistakes.
2 weeks ago we went to the zoo together and for me personally it felt good and we talked a lot but also had a great time. She admitted she's having doubts because she's still shattered of what happened but at the same time she's still loving me and missing us but is scared that something like this will happen again. She admitted that she wants time to recover and that once I'm getting help she will see what follows with us getting back together.
What do I do? There are two sides of the coin here. I'm I going back to the person I still truly love even if she isn't getting help? Or am I going to try to let go and work on myself? Eventually I am working on myself right now and have been sober for half a year right now. But I wish we would've been in therapy together and work as a couple on our problems.

2023.06.10 10:33 Uvblue420 Skinwalkers In Michigan

Skinwalkers in Rural Michigan
I recently purchased a 10,000 lumen flashlight to illuminate the surrounding woods as I walk my dog in the evenings. I have been hearing some strange noises at night, and I figured it would be nice to see everything that boxes me in as I walk Max, my dog. But boy was I wrong. I should have been afraid of what can't be seen outside the veils of my iphone flashlight. What was to be exhumed by my flashlight terrified me to my core. This happened a week or so ago, November, 2nd 2022, Harrison Michigan. The evenings were approaching abruptly now. It was only 8:30pm when I decided to take my golden retriever on one last shit walk before I got settled in for the night. At this time, in rural Michigan at least, it’s pitch black. I cursed underneath my breath as I opened the door and peered out. Fuck, chilly and dark. God, why haven’t I moved south yet? Max was timid this evening, which was so really unlike him. Very strange. The darkness emanating from outside my house poured in like a disease. It was void of any color. Upset about not replacing my porch light, I pulled out my new amazon special, this week it was a 10,000 lumen flashlight. Feeling its expensive metallic body in my hands felt exonerating, and the excitement to use it overthrew any bad vibes Max was giving. He whimpered as soon as the door opened, he then put his tail between his legs and shivered. I scoffed at his weak tendencies here, this was so unlike him. I turned this ungodly bright flashlight on and showed it forward. “For fuck sake look Max, nothing to be afraid of y-” I was cut off. My mouth gaped at what was in front of me. Shown in the powerful beam of the flashlight was a contorted lanky humanoid figure. It slumped down from a standing position and got on all fours like a person miming a frog. Then it jerked its head up and sniffed the air. Animistically. It turned its head and bored its stare right into my eyes. Then it darted into a bush on the edge of the woods. The edge of the woods that surround my entire house. I heard leaves crackle and watched the skin colored creature dissipate into them. I focused the beam of my light directly onto that bush. It was incredibly bright and the bush appeared like high definition from the immense light, especially in contrast to the oily blackness that surrounded me. The bush shaked ominously, like a predator was inside, shifting around. A familiar feminine voice came from that bush. “Please help me… oh god please help… help… help mee…” And the leaves rustled again. Max whimpered in terror and got between my legs. I grabbed the baseball bat that I kept beside the front door for just such occasions and held it beside my head in a “ready to whoop” gesture, the other hand on my flashlight. I shakily started towards the bush from my door. Max bolted inside, leaving me completely alone. “Helllppppp meee” the voice cooed. The soft feminine coo of the voice crackled a little this time. Yeah, almost as if something was masquerading as a female, and luring me in. I was about 6 feet away by now, I could feel the blood pulsating in my temples. Goosh flesh ran down my body. “Helllpp,” deeper voice “Meeee!” An elongated ashy white arm flung towards me at ankle height. I instinctively stomped down on it. I heard cracking and sloshing from underneath my shoe. I stepped directly onto its wrist. I heard a shriek from inside the depths of that bush and the hand sprung up like a trap being set off. The strength possessed by this creature was unreal, it slung me to the ground and began to reel me into its bush where it resided. I screamed, smacked the arm with the bat as hard as I could and then lost control of the bat. It fell next to me as I was dragged closer to the bush, now my feet were inside the leafy abyss. The voice turned into my mothers voice. The clawed hands grasp on me tightened with tremendous strength and the nails dug into my skin through my pants. “Help me Nathaniel. Your mother needs help. I can't walk.” Yeah alright. I shined my light into the bush. What I saw still makes me tremble. It was my dead mothers face there alright, but atop an ashy white skinned humanoid skeleton with backward joints. The arms bent unnaturally opposite of how they should, the legs were bent like a frogs ready to pounce. The eyes were milky white, but were extremely intelligent and they gazed into my consciousness. With all of my force, I horse kicked my deceased mothers face and heard a massive crunch as my heel connected with her masqueraded nose. A profane yelp of pain blasted into the darkness of this B.F.E. where I lived. The grip on my leg loosened just enough from the blow for me to break free. I shot upright and turned to the door. I dropped my flashlight in this madness and couldn’t give a shit less. It could keep it for all I fucking cared. I bolted towards the door, and as I reached the halfway point I was Illuminated by a blinding bright light from behind. Almost like a spotlight beamed right onto me. My. Fucking. God. That thing had my flashlight and was pointing it directly at me. “Helpp… Nathaniel. Help me son.” The light started to bob up and down. Whatever was holding it was lurking closer and closer to me, and was gaining on me much faster than I was to the door. So much for not being able to walk. I ended up winning the foot race miraculously. I jumped inside my door and slammed it behind me. I heard a loud thump into the door immediately following its closure. My mothers late voice came again, beckoning me. “Son. You know your mother has taught you better than this. Let me in. Please, my son.” The light shone through the window at me, blinding me. Seeing spots and now disoriented, I fumbled myself up and managed to lock the door. Max was at the furthest point possible from the door, glaring at the door trembling in fear. Three solid knocks from the top of the door frame. Then the light was gone and I heard a metallic clunk, the thing must have dropped the flashlight on its retreat. The light now was gleaming off a huge tree. I watched a tall skinny humanoid creature with long contorted ligaments jerkily run towards that tree. His legs bent opposite of how our legs do, and same with the arms. Then it bent down in the same erratic way that it moved, and got onto all fours as it approached the tree. It paused a second and peered up the trunk. His head swiftly snapped to my face. Its now black and sunken eyes stared into my soul. I froze in terror as it climbed that trunk, with its face directly bored into me mind you, like squirrel. Scurrying right up it, never leaving contact with my eyes. The light undoubtedly should be blinding his vision, but the sense of intelligence of it knowing my existence was uncanny. Light didnt hurt it. As it ascended it smiled at me, a predatory grin. It disappeared into a purple dot that was still in my vision from when I was blinded by the flashlight. As I moved my head to try to see the creature, I watched tree leaves russell and saw no more of it. Yet. I locked the doors that night and cleaned up Max’s accidents from not going out. At night as I was asleep, I was awoken by my mothers soft voice from right outside the bedroom window. “Let me in Nathaniel..” Then directly following this motherly imitation came a 10,000 lumen flashlight beamed into my face. I heard the window slowly open, but I was blinded by the light.

2023.06.10 10:32 thrifty2 Finding an exercise baseline to overcome health concerns and insecurities and start working out

Sorry for the long post. TL:DR at the bottom. Background: I've been unhealthy since my teenage years. Lots of alcohol, smoking and drug abuse, little to no exercise and an unbalanced diet. A couple of years ago I started experiencing chest and abdominal pains and have been consulting with my doctor to solve them. Over these past few years, I've managed to tame my vices when it comes to what I consume. I'm well educated on dieting and have way more control over that. However due to working from home I've never been more sedentary. My BMI appears pretty great, but that's because I'm probably 95% fat and 5% muscle. I'm being a bit facetious but hopefully you get what I mean. I'd like to start going to the gym to feel healthier but also bulk up. I don't care about being a body builder, I just want a bigger build so clothes fit better, I have more strength etc. The #1 priority is I want to feel better in general. More consistent energy levels, clearer head, better digestion and so on. From where I'm sitting, my goal is healthy and well considered and my motivation to start is there, but I'm concerned about a couple of things:
I know these are quite common issues, especially the last one. However I know from the past that these have such a huge impact on my mindset that if I experience even one of them, it might totally put me off exercising after just a few tries. Simply reassuring me and telling me to push through is completely logical, but I can't rely on that anymore. I've been through those sprints with the same advice on and off for over a decade. It's been too long and I need to try a different approach. I'm also aware that there's underlying mental health issues at play which are making these concerns worse, and I'm working on resolving them, but that is a project of its own and the timeline is a bit out of my control so I don't want to wait. I want to do things in parallel. I'd like to set some realistic (but still challenging) targets that I have to hit over the coming weeks or months, which will prove to myself that my body can handle the change. If I see evidence that I'm responding well, it will be much easier to go to a gym. As I don't have experience with fitness at all, I'm looking for advice on what is a good baseline to aim for where I can consider myself ready for the next step. My question is: What is a good baseline where I can confidently say I can manage 30-60 minutes in the gym? Should this be a daily target or maybe something more challenging but only a few times per week? Maybe a better way to put it is what is average for a grown man. A simple example: 3km jog, 50 push ups, 50 sit-ups etc. a day or 3x per week Maybe some light weight training or morning stretches (other types of exercises welcome of course) My goal is to feel energised after the baseline and not exhausted. I want to feel comfortable exercising alone before I exercise around others. It should be a challenge I can overcome in the near future, not something intense that takes months because that's the next phase. I know this really depends on the individual and if I have health issues it's hard to provide advice because you're not doctors. I need to be the one who does it based on how I feel. I'll make the incremental plan to reach the baseline, but I just need help setting that target. More info on my body: 31, male, 67kg, 180cm Also, and I'm sorry to sound a bit ungrateful because all advice is appreciated, but please, do not just say "go right away" or "go for 5 minutes" as it honestly will not happen. Believe me. This also applies to sports as it's the same issue. It doesn't matter what story you tell me. My end goal is simple but the journey inside my head is anything but. These feelings run deep and I know myself. TL;DR: I'm seeking advice on setting realistic, challenging baseline targets (e.g., daily steps, push-ups, sit-ups) that will give me confidence I can handle 30-60 minutes in the gym. I have insecurities and health challenges that make it difficult to just start going to the gym right away. I need help determining a target that will get me prepared while also putting my mind at ease when it comes to the health issues.

THE EIGHT-HEADED DRAGON

THE EIGHT-HEADED DRAGON
( OJIBWA )

There was once an old man living alone with his wife.
They had a horse and one dog, a spaniel.
They hunted and fished only in the big lake.
Once upon a time they could not get any fish in the nets, and they were very hungry.
The man went to look after his net in the morning, and found a jackfish with a large head.
As he was going to kill the fish, it said, "Hold on, old man! Don't kill me right away!"
The old man stopped, and the fish told the old man to take all its scales off and not to lose any, and to go and put these in the garden.
It also told him to cut off its fins and place them in the garden, to cut its head off and give it to his wife to eat, half of its body to be fed to the dog, and the other end to the horse.
He told the old man to shut the stable, but not to look at it for four days and four nights, and not to look at the scales for four days and four nights, but each morning after that he could look.
The old man then killed it and took it home.
He told his wife about it; and she asked, "Is that true?"--
"Yes," answered the old man, and repeated all.
"We will obey.
We are poor and hungry; maybe we shall have good luck."
He scaled and cut the fish and put it in the garden.
He also fed his wife, dog, and horse as he had been told, and shut the stable.
For four days and nights he could not sleep.
His wife became pregnant; and on the fourth morning she had two sons, and the old man was glad.
He ran to the stable, and found that the mare had two foals, the dog two pups.
He went to the garden, and there was silver money where the scales had been placed.
There were two fine swords where the fins had been.
The old man ran in to tell his wife what had happened, and they were delighted.
After that the old man caught many fish.
Soon his boys grew up.
One time, when they were home in the evening, the elder boy said, "Are there any other people in the world?"--
"Certainly, there are many people."--
"Where can I find them?"--"You can find them anywhere."
The youth said, "I will start to-morrow to try to visit some people."
He left his sword, and told his brother, "I shall take yours, and leave mine hanging here.
Do not touch it! If I have trouble or if I am killed, it will become rusty.
Then he went off.
About dinner-time he dismounted and drank from a spring.
He found silver water; and when he dipped his little finger into it, it became solid silver.
He put some of the water on the horse's ears, and they became silver.
He did the same to the dog's and also on his own hair.
Then he started off.
When he came to a large town, he took off his clothes, found some old ones, and put rags around his finger and a handkerchief over his hair.
He had a little box in which he put the horse and dog after making them small and hid them in a blacksmith's shop.
The blacksmith looked at him.
"Where are you from?"--"Is there a town here?
I am very poor."--"Oh, come in!"
The blacksmith fed him.
The man said, "I can keep you here," and engaged him to do the chores in the house.
He staid there a while, when one night the blacksmith came home and said,
"The king of this town has a fine daughter, and she is going to be fed to the Windigo that has eight heads.
He eats only people."--
"When is she going to be taken there?"--"To-morrow morning."
The next day, after his work, the young man went out.
He mounted his horse, took his dog, put on his own clothes, and rode out of the city.
After a while he heard some one weeping in the woods.
He turned in that direction, and found a young girl who was crying.
She stopped when she saw him.
The young man asked her, "Why are you crying?"--
"There is no use telling you."--
"Oh, no! tell me! Where are you going?"--"There is no use telling you."--
"Oh, yes! you must tell me."
Then the girl, seeing that he was a stranger, said, "I will tell you.
I am going to yonder bluff.
There is an eight-headed manitou there, and I am going to be eaten by him.
"--"Why?"--"He wants me."--"What if you do not go?"--
"Then he would devour every one in the city.
Therefore I must go."
Then the youth said, "I will go first.
You can go when I come back."--"No, No! you must not go.
I am not going there for life, I am going there to die."--
"If that is so, I must see him first.
"--"Oh, no!" The young man said, "I will go and come back.
You stay here."--"Well, go on! but he will kill you," and she gave the boy a ring.
He then went to the bluff, and saw that the trees were shaken by the breath of the manitou.
He stopped, and said to his horse and dog, "Try as hard as you can to help me," and then he rode on.
The horse and dog sank deep into the soil.
The boy took his sword and cut off one head, which sprang back again.
Then he told his dog to catch it;. and he hit the monster again, cutting off another of his heads.
The dog seized it and shook it.
The youth cut off another one, and the horse kicked it.
When he had cut off four heads, the manitou was not breathing very strongly.
Finally he killed him.
He cut out all the tongues and put them in a handkerchief.
When he came back, he found the girl waiting, and told her that he had killed the manitou.
He told the girl to go home and take the tongues with her, but not to tell who killed the manitou.
"Give the tongues to your father, and say that a young fellow did it, but that you do not know who."
The blacksmith was working at home.
"Where are you going,--home? No, you have to be eaten by the manitou."--
"The manitou has been killed."--"Nobody can kill him."
The girl showed him the tongues.
Then the blacksmith believed her, and asked her who had killed him.
"I do not know, he is a youth."--"Go home and tell your father that I killed him.
If you don't, I will kill you."
The girl agreed, and he went with her.
Her father and mother asked her why she had come back, and she told them that the blacksmith had killed the manitou.
She called him in, and they asked him, "How did you do it?"--
"I hit his tongues."
The king was very glad, and gave the girl to the blacksmith.
The youth went home, put his horse back into the box, and dressed in his old clothes.
There was to be a four-days' dance before the wedding.
After three night's dance, the blacksmith was very glad, and told the boy that this was the last night.
Then the lad put on his clothes.
He came into the lodge and sat down by the door.
The girl knew him at once, and told her father secretly that he had slain the monster.
The king invited him to a better place.
The blacksmith wanted to go out, pretending that his stomach pained him, but he was not allowed to leave.
He was locked up, taken to the sea, and thrown in.
The youth married the girl; and the king gave him half of the town, half of his money, and half of everything he owned, he was so glad that his daughter had been saved.
They went upstairs into their rooms.
There was a window at the top on the east side of the house, and from there could be seen a blue fire at a distance.
"What kind of fire is that?" asked the youth.
"Do not ask about it," said the princess, "and never go near it."
On the next day he took his little horse and dog and went to the fire.
There he saw an old, long house.
He entered the first room, but there was no one there.
After a while he heard some one.
The door opened, and a white-headed old woman came in, and said, "Grandchild, hold your little dog, he will bite me.
I am cold."--"Warm yourself, the dog will not touch you."--"You must tie him"--"I have nothing to tie him with."
So the old lady gave him one hair, and said, "Nosis, tie him with that."
The youth did so, and also tied the horse.
The old woman had a cane.
She touched him with it on the feet, and he died.
One morning the other youth, who had been left at home, saw rust on the sword.
He said to his father, " I fear brother is dead somewhere, for his sword is rusty.
I must go and try to find him."
His father consented, and told him to be careful.
The next morning the elder brother left.
About noon he found the same spring, and did as his brother had done.
In the evening he came to the city and went to the chief's house.
The girl came out and kissed him, and asked him where he had been, but he did not answer.
They had supper, and he thought to himself
"That must be my brother's wife."
At night he refused to go to bed.
Through the window he saw the blue fires.
He asked, "What kind of fires are those?"--"Why did you not go over to see?"
In the morning he went there.
When he arrived there, he saw his brother's horse and dog tied with brass wire, lying down and frozen to death.
He went into the lodge, and saw that his brother also lay dead by the fire.
Soon he heard some one coming.
An old woman appeared, and said, "I am cold."--
"Warm yourself by the fire."--"First tie your little dog."
He refused to do so, and finally said, "Now, granny, make that man and horse and dog alive! If you do not do so at once, I shall send the dog after you."--"Nosis, I cannot bring a dead man to life"--"You have to."--"No."
Then he set his dog on her.
The dog bit her, and the horse kicked her.
"Stop! I'll bring them to life."
He stopped the animals, and the old woman walked forward.
The youth kept away from her cane.
She told him to take up a little bottle and put it on his frozen brother.
As soon as he dropped some of the liquid from the bottle into his mouth, he came to.
She did the same to the dog and to the horse.
Then the brothers killed the old woman.
They took the bottle away from her and went home.
As they rode along together, the elder brother said, "You must be married.
Yes, Your wife mistook me for you, but I only let her sleep with my arm.
That's how I found out."
The younger brother, on hearing this, became jealous.
He drew back and shot his brother with his revolver.
He also shot his dog and horse.
Then he went home, and his wife was glad to see him.
She asked him why he refused to sleep with her last night.
"You only let me have your hand."
Then the brother began to sorrow for his brother.
He took his horse and went back to the corpse.
There he wept over his brother.
His little dog ran around the dead body, and began to look inside the coat.
There he found the old woman's little bottle.
He put some of the liquid on the wound, and thus brought the brother back to life.
Then he dropped some on the dog and the horse, and they all came to.
They went home, put their horses and dogs away, entered the lodge, and sat down.
The younger one's wife saw them, and was unable to tell them apart.
On the following day they started to return to their parents.
When they came to a forked road, they decided to go in different directions.
The elder one took one road, and said, "I will go this way, and my name will be God."
The other said, "I will follow the other, and I will be the Devil."
That's the end of it.

2023.06.10 10:31 Jared000007 [GHOSTS] Why is Call of duty ghosts multiplayer so hard and difficult?

I’m a level one prestige and I can barely play a game that doesn’t involve me dying two times more than I get kills, and somehow everyone else in the game is a world champion expert at the game.
In all my times playing cod multiplayer, I’ve never seen one nearly as difficult and hard as Ghosts

2023.06.10 10:30 temmiesayshoi Reset villager reputations?

Is there a command to reset villager reputations? I'm playing modded and for some reason every villager near me now has a reputation in the negative hundreds, meaning every iron golem attacks me on sight.
I've looked online and the closest working command I've found is a command to give myself hero of the village, but that doesn't actually seem to alter the reputation I have with them at all. (one of my mods allows me to shift right click a villager to show my reputation with them)

Is this a common thing people do in Seattle? I have a van, but I'm not sure if I can find someone who'd let me park it near their place and just pay a couple hundred to use their bathroom and shower and stuff. Is anyone doing it in Seattle or the surrounding area? If so, how did you find someone to let you do it?

2023.06.10 10:27 Anomalous439 Tips to beat criminal syndicate on commodore as UNE build?

First time playing on commodore difficulty, with one of my favourite builds, a human utopia tech rush with parliamentary system and meritocracy. Heavy leader focus.
I’ve spawned near a criminal syndicate empire and for the life of me, I can’t imagine beating them for decades. It’s 2230 and I’m only at 500 research, not even 20 alloys a month, consumer goods deficit and most of my energy/minerals have come from trading favours with the other empire I spawned near. (Also my defensive ally, if not for them I’d be dead already).
I can’t even field enough ships to bring the criminal’s relative fleet strength down from overwhelming to superior. The only mistake I think I’ve made is having gene clinics and autochthon monuments on my colonies (4 total now).
Any advice going forward?

2023.06.10 10:26 Comjunk TIFU by being too cocky infront of 2 girls

I (m 22) was at a friend's house while we were watching some Olympic swimming reruns. I made a comment about the big difference between the men's times and women's times ..and I made a comment that a guy is probably competitive against a woman who trained a bit.
At that party there were two girls who swam in high-school and they said I would not stand a chance..I didn't think I would win outright but I figured I could keep up. This got into a big argument and ended up in a wager.
Long story short...we raced and the girls smoked me. They beat me by almost a 3/4 length of the pool in a 2 lap race.
My friends were dying laughing.
As for my wager, I have to copy the outfit and the dance to this song the girls picked out. The rules are I have to do it at a dance studio and they are allowed to film it.
My friends thought it would be fun to share this on reddit and let the community call out any stipulations about the bet, must nail dance moves (can use timestamps), the outfit etc. They said they are hoping for getting the replication right to the smallest detail
The dance and outfit I have to copy: https://youtu.be/x0Iogq34jUo
Go easy guys I'm posting late for a reason. Help a guy out lol
Post will be up until 9am est.
350 responses and i have to show proof on reddit
TL;DR - lost a wager about swimming against girls and now have to do a dance in front of them

Mark Pilkington, Author of 'Mirage Men' Experienced a UFO Sighting alongside Tenaya Lake, California in 1995
One of the more interesting parts of the book 'Mirage Men' (released in 2010, also made into a documentary in 2013) for me is near the beginning where the author, Mark Pilkington, talks about his sighting of what I would call a 'classic' UFO - an 8 foot silver sphere - alongside Tenaya Lake, California back in 1995. It was also seen by Mark's girlfriend at the time and one of his friends. A recent post about 'Mirage Men' either on here or somewhere else on Reddit a day or so ago reminded me of it, and then in one of those weird coincidences that often happen when you are an avid UFO researcher, I came across this audiobook extract on Soundcloud this evening that just happens to be that part of the book! Anyway, have a listen, and if you haven't already read it, try and track down a copy of the book - I'm pretty sure it can still be found online without too much trouble.

2023.06.10 10:24 HazelBluesea Suggest me books that include the protagonist failing or dying

If there is such books, I want to read a standalone or a series, where the protagonist dies near the end of the story (not the beginning) while failing to execute their plan/ failing to defeat the antagonist themselves. The ending isn't important for me whether someone else defeats the antagonist or the antagonist wins as long as it isn't the protagonist who defeats the antagonist. Preferring Fantasy but other Genres are welcome.
I do not want to read about the protagonist dying while successfully defeating the antagonist.
The Spoiler tag is just in case, I dont mind spoilers so feel free to post books that includes this theme even if it is a big spoiler for the book. The purpose of reading these books so I can see how the authors executed the scene and the buildup to it and hopefully learn something from the writing of it.

2023.06.10 10:24 ZestycloseArt574 Recent chapters discussion.

In light of Jiro's realization of his feelings for Akari and the fact that we are getting a lot of backstory on Shiori and Jiro's early years I really think that the manga is building up to Jiro choosing Akira over Shiori. We don't have the total backstory on Akari yet and just the general tone of the manga is giving me vibes that Shiori's doom (getting rejected by Jiro) is coming soon. They are nearing the last leg of their senior year, and I highly doubt it will continue into college other than just getting glimpses of the future at the end. Also Shiori isn't really one to stand against/fight for what she wants if it means hurting others (Akari). I think here in the next few chapters after we get more story on Shiori and Ommai, that Jiro will choose Akari and the remaining story will be building up to Jiro and Akari confessing near the end of their school year right before or as their marriage practical ends. Then we will get a few chapters of Akari and Jiro dating and their future together. We also have to fit in all of the other characters developments and growth in there somewhere but that is the major jist of how I think things with go. I want to hear what you guys think as I would love some new perspectives to think of while waiting for the next chapters.

2023.06.10 10:24 SeafoamLouise Third Party Apps Impact

So Third Party Apps! They're neat but also unfortunately likely dying because of Reddit changing policies on the API. I doubt they will backpeddle on their choices and but it's at least going to impact me in not using Reddit nearly as much since I use Apollo.
This sub will likely not be that influenced by the change since fortunately it's a small and chill community. But if something does happen or change for whatever reason, we still will at least have our Discord server. This is just pretty much a heads up that we should probably be fine despite how much this absolutely sucks and will have me probably barely using Reddit on mobile (which is how I mostly use Reddit???) and also an incredibly subtle and smooth plug that the Discord server exists and is kind of neat.
That's all for now!
