Affordable gyms near me

I've (28F) been chatting with a couple of friends and have reached the conclusion that I must be doing something, like, fundamentally wrong in my approach to dating apps but I truly don't understand.
I really don't take the apps all the seriously. I'm not on them regularly, and I have no interest in creating/managing a profile on more than one at a time. I tend to use Bumble, because it also has the BFF feature, but everyone says I should use Hinge instead. I tried Hinge once, and I don't get how it's different/better than Bumble.
I don't currently have a very big social circle (I'm a recent grad school grad, I stayed in town and most of cohort has/will soon move away), so I'm currently using Bumble mostly as a way to see who lives near me that I might not otherwise meet. I only swipe on people I'm genuinely interested in getting to know. I'm not afraid to unmatch or block people if they get weird and I have pretty strict standards for when and where I meet up with people. (I did have a bad experience previously that could have been a avoided if I had trusted my instincts.)
But my friends keep telling me that I'm doing it wrong and I need to download multiple apps and pay for premium so I can go on more dates. I don't want to go on a lot of dates, necessarily? I'm just curious as to who my age lives around me and shares my interests. If I meet someone and like them, cool, let's grab coffee. If it goes anywhere, cool. If not, oh well. Is there something ethically wrong with that?

So ive been taking olanzapine(zyprexa 10 mg) ever since they let me out of the mental asylum. I tried different medicine and this stopped my psycosis the best way and it didn't have as bad of side effects as the others.
The doctor warned me about weight gain,but i was tired of the side effects so i decided to try olanzapine. So instead of feeling constantly agitated(aripriprizol i think) i am now constantly hungry(olanzapine). And now i am fat.
Its a big deal for me. My mom,the doctor said i should get a gym membership but i don't want muscles. I want my body to look like a woman,because thats how i identify.
What can i do? I know it could be worse,but i see all this other women and they look so cute and i don't. Please help.
i also have to do hard work at work and that gets me even hungrier and i feel like if i don't eat i might pass out at work.

I’m going to be in Dublin for the summer and am looking for a bodybuilding styled gym. Does anyone have any recommendations?

My story's long, but the rub is this: I caught my ex cheating on me, so I kicked her to the curb.
She lives with the AP, but we share the kids 50/50. They live with me in the house 100% of the time, and every other friday, she comes and sleeps on my couch for a week to be with them.
When shes around, this woman constantly grills me about my personal life. She Makes snarky comments about who I hang out with, making accusations about me and women, alleging I'm sleeping with a bunch of women, which I'm not. I've slept with some women early on in our separation but I've since just been hanging out with male friends or my kids. They're the only ones worth spending my time with.
She cries about how her life is turning out, mostly about how her job sucks and she cant afford living in the real world, and then comes at me with these interrogations and comments, that quite frankly make me uncomfortable.
I try to grey rock since nothing I say will ever be the right answer, it only opens me up to more of her anger and manipulation of my words.
Anybody else experience this shit? Any success at not feeling that overwhelming since of dread when the ex is around?

I’m 10 months post partum and I noticed that one of the things that changed with my body after giving birth was my g spot. In the past, my husband was able to find my g spot without much difficulties with his penis. Now it went closer to the roof near my cervix and it’s impossible for my hubby to reach it without hitting my cervix and it hurts.
What we do now is sometimes he shove his fingers and curve it before it hits the cervix and pleasure me that way. I wanted to ask if theres any toys or techniques we can try to simulate without having my husband to pull out. Sex is still pleasurable for me.

Ok someone help me out with this one and devistating wounds.
The new doomsday ark gets D6+1 attacks.
Say we are stationary and going to shoot a land raider. We get super lucky and roll 6 on the d6. 7 attacks / hits to roll. We hit on 3+. Say we get 4 hits, 3 miss.
We now roll to wound.
Our S15 cannon against T14 tank means wounding on 3+ So one of two things can happen now.
Either one of our wound rolls is a 6! We immediately trigger devistating wounds and 4 mortals wounds (damage) is applied to the tank. Nice. Then Shooting ends
BUT
What if we roll 4, 5 ,5 and 2 on our wound rolls. At -4 AP the tank needs to make 6+ or gets no save and we could do 12 damage and kill it.....or nearly (Although the tank could save I guess)
Does that mean for the doomsday a critical wound (6) technically is worse!?

I (19m) have been friends with my buddy (19m) for 19 years. We were born just a month apart and lived next door to each other. I moved away at 4 but we were able to keep in touch through our parents. When we both got phones at around 13-14 we started to communicate to each a lot more and played video games together nearly everyday. Our relationship has been good and I’ve even made the 3 hour trip from Wisconsin to Indiana to see him a few times over the years.
Recently, we haven’t been talking as much, I didn’t really think of it. We’re both graduating high school and he doesn’t quite know what he’s doing yet and it’s quite stressful for any senior. We actually had the idea to have our grad party together. A few weeks ago I reached out to ask him about it and got no response. Again, it happens sometimes, so about a week ago I reached out again. Again, nothing. So I read of texting him on Snapchat I texted him on IMessage and Instagram. Despite him being “active” on both platforms, no response. I messaged him asking if everything was ok and if I did anything wrong to no avail. So finally, I told him it was my last attempt reaching out and again asked if he wanted to talk about it and how friendships need effort to stay strong. Again, nothing.
After being ignored, I reached out to his GF to see if she had any insight. To my surprise, she replied “I don’t think he wants to be your friend anymore.” Of course I asked why, she then said “he’s doesn’t like the way you make fun of him and try to embarrass him.”
First off I want to say that those feeling are completely valid. I can understand not wanting to be made fun of. Like I said we live in different states so have developed different friend groups. Where I live we just poke fun at each other all the time, that’s just how we are. So when I talk to him I just imagine it’s like talking to my friends at home. He had never said anything to me about not liking the way I treated him so I just assumed that his friend group must be similar to mine. So I kept talking to him the way I do with all my friends. I never say things that are very deep. Mostly surface level things like “you’re stupid” “you’re a fatass” stupid things that are rude, but again, things that I don’t view as serious because it’s the way me and my friends talk.
I’ve struggled with this for a few days and want to know, do I deserve to be ignored and should I just accept that I’m the asshole?

So just some background info, I had a baby 6 months ago . During my pregnancy I gained 112 pounds . None of the doctors seemed concerned about that. Pre pregnancy I was around 130-140 . At the end of my pregnancy I was 247.6 pounds . And I had my baby early… 3 weeks early so who knows how much bigger I would of gotten. I immediately lost about 23 pounds of that just from baby ,fluids, and placenta weight. Over the next three months I got down to 199.
Now to clarify it took a lot of changes just to get down to this weight. I was eating in a calorie deficit of about 1500-1700 calories depending on activity level . I cut out processed food completely. Just whole foods. I upped my water intake and I don’t exercise at the gym HOWEVER that’s because my job is very physically demanding I mean getting 10,000 or more steps in one shift lots of squatting and lifting . Every shift I work I am sweating for 8 hours straight . I work 30 hours a week. I also get plenty of sleep about 7 hours or more a night . I only have one baby and a very supportive helpful husband so getting sleep has been no issue.
I didn’t mind that it took me all of that to lose the little amount of weight I did in that three months . I’m patient and self discipline is not an issue for me.
BUT Fast forward it is another 3 months later and I’m still at 199. I’m doing all the same things I’ve been doing. Nothing is budging . I got to a point of so much desperation that I tried intermittent fasting . I did the 16:8 fast. At first this seemed to work I got down to 196 but my weight has gone up to 199 and it’s been days so doesn’t seem like a weight fluctuation. During my 8 hour window I focused on lots of protein and still staying in my calorie deficit . I ate things like chicken, salmon, nuts, eggs, yogurt, some fruit. And no I did not overeat.
I’m at a loss of what to do . I understand that postpartum weight loss takes time and that it can be slow, but I’m 6 months out now it’s been 3 months of nothing and this seems excessive. I’m just not sure what else I could do . I’m wondering if now would be a good time to seek a doctor for help but also concerned I won’t be taken seriously or they’ll just tell me to do one of the things I’ve already been doing.
Edit: I’d like to add that I’ve been taking measurements too not just using the scale to monitor progress and my lost in inches has also stalled.

I was playing medusa safe lane. Got decent farm. But near the end nobody was trying to push together or maybe it was expected from me to be on frontline?
Team mates: Clinkz -mid Dawnbreaker - offline Underlord- support Silencer- Hard Support
We won the game but I'm really confused.
Game id: 7175183246
Please suggest what could I have done differently or how else it could have played off.

We just moved to the area and word had spread round that we had money and we're new to the area and essentially targets. We live next to the part of town where all the crack users get together and sit along the wall, but they never come near our house.
Friday night someone knocked and I answered because I've made a couple friends in the area and assumed it was someone I know and I'm aware that's stupid but anyway, he grabbed me and took me in the living room saw there was nothing and took me into my room, my partner was there and he made him open the safe where we had passports and maybe £450, and also he took our phones and my main bank card. He was demanding we give him the cash and had no money whatsoever but apparently we did so he was getting more and more angry.
He realised someone told him a rumour about us having money and expensive items but told us if we tell the police he'll kill us. We have cameras that recorded the whole thing and each show up till when he walks up to them and turns it off but you clearly see him assaulting us and most the experience.
I want to report it but he said his family would kill us. Without police no insurance no new phone, no justice, no nothing. If we go to the police his family may truly show up and break the door down.
I'm scared to go to the shop and I'm scared he'll come back especially if he thinks we didn't report this so we won't in the future and that it's an easy £450 and two iPhones.
Legally speaking, if I report it will there be any way at all that I'll have any type of protection from his family such as asking my housing association to move us because when I told them she said things happen go police and that's that.
I'm mentally disabled I guess as I suffer from paranoia - hence the cameras - and I suffer from anxiety.
Edit: We are in England (midlands).

Context: The day has come! You're on your way to receive your very first Pokémon with your best friend! As the thoughts of the starters speed through your head like a swift swim Kabutops in the rain, your friend catches up to you. You don't know it, but, they've got something important to tell you. Will you choose more than just a starter?
Usage: Hm? Oh, this? Uhm… yeah, sure. I only ask for credit, that's all. I would like to hear it, but it's not necessary. I would also like to have a heads-up, but, at the same time, a surprise never hurt anybody. Tweaking the script? Of course! Go right ahead, I don’t really care as long as I’m credited for the original script! You can refer to me as u/Mooxie39 (on Reddit).
Monetization: Well, uhh... I mean, yeah, I’m alright with it. Again, I would like to hear it, but, it doesn’t really matter to me.
Notes:

• Any capitalized text is just emphasized, not yelled.
  
• For those who DM me, I am a minor, and I am not seeking to e-date. While my view on E-Dating is changing, basic DNI rules for DM’s in addition to the “No E-Dating/trying to make moves on me” rules still apply.
  
• Recommendations for scripts? I'm starting to consider taking them, but I think I've got enough energy left for a few more scripts!
  
• There is a split in this script! It doesn't matter which one you choose, as the script ends the same way either way.
  
• As per usual, here's a warning. I own NONE of this outside of the actual script. I do NOT own Pokémon! I am NOT affiliated with Nintendo, Game Freak, or any other company! I write these scripts for fun, I do NOT get paid for writing these!
  
• While I write my scripts as A4A, using They/Them pronouns when referring to the listener, and keeping the gender of the speaker ambiguous, they don’t HAVE to strictly remain as they/them in regards to the listener. Same thing also goes for the speaker! Change them if you want!
  
• Wow, another reference to Greek mythology by Mooxie. …Of course the one I reference is Apollo, who else would it be, Hera?
  
• Oh, and, also. Three days until I pop off with scripts. Get ready.

[SFX: Speaker running up]
[Panting, the speaker talks]
There you are…! Hoo… man… huff… you’re fast… I know you’re excited to get your starter Pokémon from the professor and all that, but sweet Arceus…
…Eh? My face is red? Of course it is, man! I had to sprint like a Rapidash to catch up to you! Again, I love that you’re enthusiastic- I am too! But I can’t keep up with you when you’re like this, haha!
So… which one are you gonna choose? I mean, I heard our three options, and they’re all so tempting…! Our options? Oh, right! The fire-type Pokémon Chimchar, the water-type Pokémon Popplio, and the grass-type Pokémon Bulbasaur! The professor said that, seeing as we’re special cases, he got us starters from three different regions! He said something about them potentially having… what’s the term? A regional variant? Yeah, that’s the one! He said they might have a unique form upon reaching their final evolution! We could be making history here, you and me! Just like when we were kids, watching my mom’s growlithe bounding around the house, whiling the hours away talking about when we’re gonna get our Pokémon!
And now… here we are. Behind these doors, our future waits. Our starters are in there, waiting for their trainers to show up and claim them. Pokedexes line the table, ready for us to take them and do our own research. One day… I’m gonna be champion! Just you wait, it’ll happen!
[SFX, cutoff: Door handle being turned]
[Speaker hesitates before talking once more, quieter now]
Hey. Can we… talk about something before we get our starters? It’s something important to me, and I feel like now’s as good an opportunity as any.
[Sighs]
Okay. Remember when we were younger, and we talked about… love? How our mothers had already gone and claimed that you and I would wind up together? Haha… we laughed our asses off. “Oh, we’re only friends, mom! I don’t see them like that!”, that was our mindset. That was our mindset for a long time, too. We were friends. Only friends. But… were we ever really just friends? I don’t know. Remember when I got scared that one night we had a sleepover because of a thunderstorm, and you held me close? We cuddled all night long… I… I never forgot that moment. Feeling you so close to me, so warm… so comfortable. I loved it. I loved having you hold me close. Sure, we didn’t bring it back up since that moment, but… from that day onwards… my view on you changed.
[Speaker takes a deep breath]
…From that day onwards, I no longer saw you as just my friend. I know that it’s normal for friends to cuddle, sometimes. But… it felt different to me. The way you held me. The way I held you. What I’m trying to say here is that… I’ve got a crush on you. I’ve had one since that night all that time ago. I know what I’m risking here. I’m risking our friendship, I’m risking losing my closest friend, and soon-to-be rival. I understand this. But… I needed to get this off of my chest. I… I’ll step out of the way. If you want to go get your starter, I won’t get in your way. If you don’t want to talk to me ever again, I understand. It’ll hurt, but I’ll respect your choice.
[Pause, speaker sighing before their tone shows a little bit of shock and hope]
You’re… you’re not getting a starter without your lover by your side? What do… you don’t mean…? Are you telling me that…?
[Speaker gasps, their tone excited and eager]
You are! You feel the same way! Oh, sweet Arceus, thank you! I-I promise, I won’t let you down as your rival, your closest friend, or, now, as your lover! I’ll do my best to keep you happy, just like when we were kids! I guess our moms were right… we really did wind up together! Here- let me get the door… I want you to have first dibs on the starter.
[Speaker laughs]
Hey, it’s called being nice! I’m not letting you pick first so I can have the type advantage! I might be your rival, but that doesn't mean I'm unfair! If that’s how it ends up, I can’t be held responsible! Now, c’mon! The professor is waiting for us!
[SFX: Door opening]
So… you're taking first dibs. Go ahead, I'll wait. Here, I won't even look! I'll have no idea which starter you pick! Trainer's honor!
…Done? Alright, I choose… this one! I'm gonna name you Apollo, as you and I are gonna shine as bright as the sun!
So… which one DID you take?
(OPTIONAL LINE 1): Haha! That's the damage advantage in favor of me! …Hey, don't look at me like that! I didn't plan this! Just because you chose the starter weak to mine doesn't mean I planned it!
(OPTIONAL LINE 2): H-hah… Guess that's damage advantage in favor of you, isn't it…? W-well, not like it matters! We'll show you, won't we, Apollo?
Thank you, professor. Don't worry, we'll take good care of your starter Pokémon! C'mon, let's go!
[SFX: Door opening]
So… now what? We’ve got our starters… we’re now dating… do we just… go? I mean, the first gym isn’t too far away… what do you think? Do we go there together, or…?
[Pause]
Heh. Hoped you’d say that. C’mon, let’s get our adventures started.
[Pause again]
Eh? Of course I meant adventureS. We just started our Pokémon journey, and we’ve just started our own personal, romantic journey! Two for the price of one, y’know? I think it’s a pretty good deal! I get a starter Pokémon, and I get my childhood friend as my lover… hah. Arceus smiles upon me today, I suppose.
[Pause, speaker chuckling embarrassedly]
Grinning like a Gengar? Well, yeah, duh. Like I said. I’m happy right now. I've got a Pokémon... And my new lover. C’mon, dork, let’s get our journey started off right.
I challenge you to a Pokémon battle!

I lost my headphones about 3 weeks ago, since then i started feeling extremely aggravated to everyone and everything...Music was my everything. I always had heaphones in. Waking up with headphones, sleeping with them in and even in class i wouldnt take them out. Now that they are gone i feel awful. I am a student and therefore i cannot afford any nice headphones. The ones that i lost were given to me as a gift. How do i suppress this feeling of anger and aggravation until i am able to get new headphones? thanks.

I’ve been gyming and pretty much on and off for about 10yrs. Not as consistently as I would like but through periods of consistency I have seen some steady gains. Now that im back into gyming again since the start of this year I see some steady growth in my muscles but my chest seems to be the most difficult to grow or build any definition on
I really do believe it is my technique and I’m not entirely sure what I’m doing wrong. For every other exercise and muscle group I intend to hit I always feel a good stretch and load on the targeted muscles except when it comes to chest targeted exercises like the standard bench press. I seem to always feel more distribution through my shoulders when I do chest. What can I do to target my chest more effectively?
At the moment I only have a bar bell and bench set up for my home gym with a squat rack. Part of me feels like it may also be genetics but surely if you’re working out your chest it should pop?

So, I've been getting into Splatoon recently. It started with me seeing the GRIZZCO TAPES on YouTube - real good stuff by the way, check them out if you haven't already - and have fallen down a rabbit hole of Splatoon content, from goofy/funny/sweet animations to listening to some of the music, and holy shit, Calamari Inkantation 3Mix is straight up godly, and, as of a few days ago, watching a nearly 5 hour timeline video on the funny squid games. After finishing, I've found that yeah, I'm a fan of Splatoon now. Legit trying to read the lore, stories, find art, talk about it with friends who have played, it's a good time. There's... Just one problem.
I can't play the games. I physically can't.
I do have a Switch, but I won't use it for reasons that are, to put it mildly, intensely personal. Even if I were to use the Switch, I'm also trying to tighten the belt these days when it comes to money, so buying the games isn't an option for me.
I love Splatoon's setting, lore, characters (so far of what I know of 'em, they're funny, adorable, and charismatic,) color scheme, godly music, design, just about everything. Hell, even from my purely outsider perspective, the games look really damn fun, and this is coming from a primarily RTS gamer. It's nice to have a game series that's so vibrant, colorful, and dedicated to being a good time. I just don't know how I can go deeper in without playing, which, again, I can't do.
So, uh... What do I do? Any advice, or something? Sorry that this post is so weird, and I apologize ahead of time if it breaks any kind of rule.
To finish up with this whole thing, take this trash meme/edit I made earlier this month. Rock and Stone! Or... Well, Booyah I guess.

I made a post about a PMU around 2 weeks ago (https://www.reddit.com/FEEngage/comments/13hu6efirst_fe_pmu/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) and finished it last night. It took a bit longer than I expected but it’s because I’ve (successfully) been trying to touch grass. Anyway, feel free to check out the screenshot for stats and some bonus Citrinne, Clanne, and Lindon content https://imgur.com/a/fd9h5uj. I left my thoughts on how each unit turned out below. It was on Hard Classic and all units are around internal level 40 giver or take 1 level (except Mauvier who just got those 9 levels after reclassing). I did grind for second seals early through relay trials because I wanted everyone to be in their new classes ASAP, so that gave me extra SP books and forging materials to work with. Thanks to everyone who commented builds on my last post!
Alear - Swordmaster - Chrom (Canter+/Sword Power 5)
Fun Facts: 8 MVPs (tied for 2nd), 84% wins to battles ratio (2nd)
Pretty great combat. He was getting HP and Str screwed (based on averages) in the early game so I did feed him some stat boosters to make up for it and he wound up great. Chrom was great for a free 1-2 range option and the ability to hit on res. Rally Spectrum was incredible utility and pushed other units into thresholds they were just missing countless times. I did compare the averages between sword master and divine dragon and DD is better at almost everything but speed so if you want sword Alear you should probably stick with that class for the stats and dragon tag.
Bunet - Halberdier - Eirika (Break Defenses/Lance Power 5)
Fun Facts: 8 MVPs (tied for 2nd), 83% wins to battles ratio (tied for 3rd), Highest HP (62) , 2nd Highest Def (33) & Lck (26 *Capped), 3rd Highest Str (29) & Dex (34)
One of my best combat units. In fairness I did cheat a little (since I was giving him the pact ring) and gave him starsphere until I got Marth back for break defenses. One of my best combat units. When he got pincer attack he did great work using it, but then he kept leveling up str and spd. Eventually I stopped setting it up for him and he would kill with 2 or 4 brave lance hits and never had issues due to high dex and an accuracy engrave. Also surprisingly bulky in def. Break defenses was a recommendation from the comment who suggested him and it did help with the faster swordmasters and heroes in the last chapters. Of course Eirika pulled a lot of weight and this was my first time using a Halberdier but I was very happy with his performance.
Clanne - Sniper - Marth (Canter+/Speedtaker)
Fun Facts: 9 MVPs (1st), 83% wins to battles ratio (tied for 3rd)
Easily one of the best units of the run and it showed. His only problems were his low build and he was speed screwed until the very late game. I gave him speed taker to make up for that and he did great. He honestly didn’t really need to double most enemies because his crit rate was consistently 70%-90%. He had 102 crit in endgame with No Distractions active. He also had great Str for an archer. Would recommend trying him out if you haven’t.
Chloe - Hero - Byleth (Canter+/Dual Assist+)
Fun Facts: 2nd Highest Spd (35), 3rd Highest HP (59)
Put in work early game, but combat fell off pretty hard. She did decent chip with the levin sword and could clean up damaged enemies. Once I got Byleth, most of that didn’t matter much though. She spent most of her turns rallying str and dancing which was invaluable. Brave assist & Dual assist+ was incredible support though, and helped a lot of other units get kills. All in all nothing notable and most units could fill the same role in this class.
Alcryst - Thief - Leif (Canter+/Draconic Hex)
Incredibly underwhelming. Serviceable combat early on but fell off hard. Could only ever kill with crits which are harder to stack on daggers and even then it wasn’t guaranteed. He also got stuck with probably the worst emblem in the game. Maybe he could’ve been used better or gotten better skills, but his stats weren’t giving me much to work with. The best utility he had was giving a hit support to Fogado who did everything Alcryst did but infinitely better (see Fogado’s section).
Lapis - Wyvern Knight - Tiki (Canter+/Level Boost)
Fun Facts: Highest Str (33), 2nd Highest Spd (35), 3rd Highest Def (28), Most RNG screwed (-7 total to stats calculated with starsphere)
She was definitely a good unit, but she did feel underwhelming for being arguably the best physical class in the game + starsphere. Her build was so bad that she carried her refined & engraved steel sword from the early game so she could double enemies (She got 2 of her bld levels after Ch22). Stronger weapons often weighed her down enough that she couldn’t double. Tiki helped with that a bit though she often still relied on eternal claw crits (which her personal works against). Being my only natural flier was nice though.
Citrinne - Martial Master - Lucina (Canter+/Lunar Brace+)
Fun Facts: 2nd Highest Res (33) & Lck (26)
100% bonded shield procs for every ally, what more can I say? For real though, that was good enough utility that she was worth deploying whenever I could. Staff utility also came in handy a lot. I was excited about making her combat ready with FFA (hence Lunar Brace+) but she honestly let me down. She wasn’t quadding almost anything, even after 3 (I think) Speedwings. She was also incredibly squishy, though I was able to stack avoid to stop enemies from targeting during bonded shields. If you want a MM nuke, definitely pick someone faster with more balanced mag & str.
Amber - High Priest - Veronica (Mag+5/Staff Proficiency 5)
Fun Facts: 3 MVPs (All Fell Xenologue), 62% wins to battles ratio, Highest Lck (28), 2nd Highest Str (30* Capped)
Functioned as a great staff bot. Fortify+ on Veronica with Staff Proficiency 5 was my “Great Sacrifice at home,” though he could do it every engage turn. His combat was actually decent early on due to reprisal, but his speed was garbage and he wasn’t able to equip better weapons due to class limitations. Book of worlds helped with freezing some enemies and he did decent chip safely with elthunder. He was my only staff unit that I didn’t try to make combat effective and he didn’t need to equip a healing staff thanks to Veronica so that was nice. I would still rate him 10/10 because of those High Priest hips alone though.
Jade - Great Knight - Camilla (Canter+/Axe Power 5)
Fun Facts: 6 MVPs (3rd), Highest Def (42), 3rd Highest Str (29)
This is definitely one of the less out there builds, but she did make my life a lot easier. A 10 move flier with incredible defense was great to have. She one shot A LOT of enemies with Dark Inferno using a unrefined, Ike engraved silver great axe. Thanks to the speed levels she was getting and Camilla’s bonus she was actually doubling some midgame enemies and matched/outsped most of my other units for a bit. Camilla’s res, HP, and Camilla’s axe also kept her safe against magic enemies. She also did fairly well with Camilla’s bolt axe. Her biggest flaw was low hit rates, but she was always able to eventually clean up or safely draw enemies for allies to finish off. Would recommend trying this build if you like Jade.
Nel - Sage - Soren (Canter+/Draconic Hex)
Fun Facts: 2nd Highest Magic (33) & Res (33), 3rd Highest Lck (25)
Great magic combat unit. Fast enough to double most enemies up till late game, only because Sage’s speed cap wouldn’t let her get higher than 30. She also capped HP and Def, which made her bulky enough to Flare tank with Soren. Otherwise, she was doing decent chip and debuffing with bolting/cataclysm, anima focus, and Draconic Hex. Useful staff utility when she wasn’t doing combat too. If you would like to build her for offense I would help keep her Spd up or increase her Mag a bit since I did use most of my Spirit Dust on her.
Zelkov - Hector - (Canter+/Gentility+)
Fun Facts: 3rd highest Spd (33)
Honestly wasn’t super sure how to use him. He’s in a fast class, but has the slow and bulky emblem. Quick Riposte did help against some faster enemies and other Wolf Knights but it was mostly useless. The bulk and Impenetrable was somewhat helpful and the Wolf Beil was nice for effective damage. Most of my good axes went to Jade and Lindon though so he was stuck with a forged & refined Silver dagger. He did get his job well most of the time, but it’s also not a huge. At the end of the day, Wolf Knight is basically thief with slightly more HP, Spd, Res, and Lck and slightly less Str, Dex, and Def.
Fogado - Mage Cannoneer - Corrin (Canter+/Divine Pulse+)
Fun Facts: 3rd Highest Res (25*Capped)
My first mage cannoneer was incredibly satisfying to use. Hit rates were very shaky at first, especially since I declassed him right away and his stats weren’t great, but he made excellent contributions once he got Corrin and Divine Pulse. He stopped needing to rely on supports to hit and chip/debuff. Venom blast afflicts 3 stacks of poison, making daggers way less useful. Freeze blast and break blast also came in handy plenty of times, though they’re lest reliable as it’s only a 50% chance for those effects. You don’t actually need damage for the effects to occur, which is nice. 8 range AOE freeze with Corrin saved me more times than I can count. Canter helped him not fall behind, especially since he can attack an enemy almost every turn with 8 range. Effective canons that you can choose based on map composition help guarantee decent chip too. 10/10 would love to use a Mage Cannoneer again. Other units might be better suited though, since Fogado's personal str & dex growths aren't super high.
Lindon - Berserker - Ike (Reprisal+/Vantage+)
Fun Facts: 87% wins to battles ratio (1st). 2nd Highest HP (61)
Haha funny crit man. He literally got to 100 crit on the first map after recruiting him. I did use Eirika engrave for his killer axe instead of Corrin or Camilla. It gives 10 less crit, but it gives 40 hit, which he desperately needed and it doesn’t lower might. He capped his dex at 22 and that’s not nearly enough to get above 60-70 hit on most enemies. He also had so much HP that it was optimal to get crit on multiple occasions since he didn’t die and it got him in wrath/vantage/reprisal range. He did need Reprisal though, because his str isn’t high enough to oneshot some enemies even with crits. Vantage+ was for when he had more than 60 HP wich happened quick with the Ike bonus. It makes the Vantage range easier to set up and he still gets maximum Wrath and enough Reprisal. For those uninitiated, here’s the crit stacking break down: Killer Axe +5 (40) + Eirika Engrave (20) + Weapon Insight (20) + Wrath (30) + 22 Dex (11) = 121 Crit. I would recommend Warrior though since it has higher dex, spd, def, and res caps.
Mauvier - Mage Knight - Celica (Speed+5/Canter+)
Fun Facts: Highest Mag (34) & Res (36)
This is one of the best classes for him. He has excellent magic and this class helps his speed issues. I also gave him Spd +5 which allowed him to double basically everything, especially with all my Draconic Hexers and Rally Spectrum from Alear. He cleaned up the endgame for me with little to no issues. He also caps HP and build upon reclassing, and capped defense soon after. 11/10 I love this man and I wish we could use him for longer. Wish I wasn’t tech illiterate so I could use him in reverse recruitment or a randomizer.
If you kept reading this long thanks for hearing my thoughts! I had tons of fun with this run and it was a chance to use some units and builds I never would’ve otherwise. I’m definitely thinking of doing another one somewhere down the line prioritizing units, classes, and emblems that weren’t picked this time.

I’ve been watching porn and masturbating since I was 11, with the death grip or laying prone, sometimes both so yeah just about the worst two masturbation habits possible. I’m nearly 20 now and have not been able to go more than a week without porn or fapping, until now. I’m currently 2 weeks off porn and finally made it to 7 days of no fapping. I feel good but frustrated with the lack of sensitivity in my dick. I owe a lot of this new personal success to my GF, who I recently told about my struggles for all these years. She didn’t judge or hate me for it, but instead actively supports and checks in on me, and I could not feel more motivated to do this not just for me but for her and our relationship. That being said, I do have a couple questions:

1. After starting from a young age and fapping nearly every day, sometimes multiple times a day, how long do you think it would take for me to recover? I have PIED, and I’m hoping that it will be resolved soon before I can see her again in person.
   
2. Would it still be okay to sext with my gf? I love the connection that we have, and making her feel desired and sexy and showing her that she makes me aroused. Lately I don’t look at her intimate pictures for long when she sends them, I just save them and move on with the conversation. I don’t touch myself looking at her though one week in and I still struggle to get erections, let alone a rock hard one. I’m not sure if it’s bad to sext her if it’s slowing my recovery, but I also don’t want an intimacy-less relationship with her when we can’t physically be together just yet.
   

This is a connection with someone that I’ve always wanted, but never one that I felt I deserved until I fixed myself. I see this as a test, whether it’s God, fate, or whatevewhoever, to prove that I can overcome this tough mental struggle and there’s nothing I want more right now than to kick some ass. Fuck porn. Fuck masturbating. It made me socially uncomfortable and depressed, and it’s never gonna happen again. Any help or advice in the comments is greatly appreciated. Thank you :)

Hey all, I'm wondering if anybody could point me in the direction of any English speaking or Spanish special education schools in malaga. I'm planning on re-locating in the near future. Both my kids are aged 10 and 8

Federally and provincially, there are only a handful of times I've voted for the party I really wanted to vote for. I look at how close the race is and I decide if I can 'afford' to vote for the party I want to. Federally I'd like to vote NDP or Green. But I end up voting strategically for the Liberals.
In this election, you know what? The NDP is not nearly far left enough at this point. And I know many people share this opinion. I'd like to be voting Green or AB Party. But I'm voting strategically again.
So in case you or anyone one you are talking to today/tomorrow does not want to vote UCP and plans on sitting this election out - then please let them know that a strategic vote against someone terrible is a valid vote. It's something that we on the left do all the time. And it's not a capitulation. It's just a temporary measure. Because let's be real - the NDP is always going to be the underdog. If they get in tomorrow, they are not going to stay there for long. But it may be long enough for the right to get it together and move away from this American-style far-right politics.

So I had a full extraction 5 weeks ago (may 1st) at an oral surgeon that was covered. 2 weeks ago I met back up with my normal dentist and they handed me a bill for $6k for dentures. I was previously told extraction and dentures were covered so now I have no clue what to do (I cannot afford $6k). I am trying to stay calm but I am a bartender so being customer facing has been worse than before. I am starting to feel like I made a horrible mistake. I want to eat pizza again. What do I do?

We wanted to order some sweet and sour chicken balls but it ends up being £19 with the min order and delivery fee on Just Eat. I don’t seem to be able to find anywhere much cheaper online/on maps or it just takes me to their ubejust eat/deliveroo page. I’m happy to order online, ring to order and possibly pick up.
Any recommendations for cheaper takeaways? Preferably near Ancoats or the centre
