2023.06.05 12:42 DMZ_Dragon GOG Unmoderated Post July 1/Blackout 12th-14th of June

Bla bla bla capitalism bad
Folks, yet again we're here because a company is doing something that will massively fuck over all of us and eventually themselves. We have been here with Devotion with CDPR and we have been her for a myriad other choices that highlight that we as users and consumers don't matter.
TL;DR With the promotional idealistic text over, here's the simple rundown of what is happening:
Per July 1, Reddit is functionally, though not officially, killing off all third party applications that access Reddit via the API, by charging for API access. The charge isn't a big deal, of course you should charge for someone using your database, but the pricing is....well, absurd. $1.7 million a month just for Apollo to run their app is absurd (by comparison, for the same traffic, even IMGUR and Google/Microsoft would charge less than $10k a month).
Considering that most third party apps don't actually earn that much, this change is an effective kill for all of them. Which is what Reddit wants so we'll use the shitshow that is the official app (containing on average 70% less information per page due to ads and general design).
The title
I am currently the sole active mod on this subreddit. I use a third party app to moderate and maintain the subreddit most of my time.
Since from the 1st of July they are closing down that access and that app, I am not going to commit through the immense effort of constantly moderating only from desktop or to using the idiotic official app. It's not worth it and I don't get paid enough for this shit.
If anyone wants to stand up and moderate starting from the 1st of July, using the honestly braindead official tooling they have now, you're welcome to send us a modmail and I'll try and process your request in time for the change. For the sake of the subreddit, if you already manage a lot of other subreddits, I personally won't even consider your application, but disso may.
What can you do?
I'd of course be willing to continue moderating best I can if the access to all third party apps was kept reasonable beyond the 1st of July, so paid, but not the bullshit amounts that it is now. Should Reddit somehow decide to roll back the change, I will do so. If you want to help make that happen, because yes, you can!, here is how:
What can you do?
**Complain.** Message the mods of /reddit.com, who are the admins of the site: message reddit: submit a support request: comment in relevant threads on /reddit, such as this one, leave a negative review on their official iOS or Android app- and sign your username in support to this post. **Spread the word** Rabble-rouse on related subreddits. Meme it up, make it spicy. Bitch about it to your cat. Suggest anyone you know who moderates a subreddit join us at our sister sub at /ModCoord- but please don't pester mods you don't know by simply spamming their modmail. **Boycott and spread the word...to Reddit's competition!** Stay off Reddit entirely on June 12th through the 14th- instead, take to your favorite non-Reddit platform of choice and make some noise in support! **Don't be a jerk**. As upsetting this may be, threats, profanity and vandalism will be worse than useless in getting people on our side. Please make every effort to be as restrained, polite, reasonable and law-abiding as possible. **GOG Special** You can contact the local CDP representatives here(chandra and u/Clownski_GOG and by email([email protected]) to let them know that one of their biggest fan forums is about to effectively disappear. This is bound to have a lot more effect than just some users complaining. 
Blackout
In a show of solidarity with https://old.reddit.com/Save3rdPartyApps/comments/13yh0jf/dont_let_reddit_kill_3rd_party_apps/
and
https://old.reddit.com/ModCoord/comments/1401qw5/incomplete_and_growing_list_of_participating/
I am making the subreddit read only between 12th and 14th of June to give everyone ample time to read this sticky.
But keep politics out of my game subreddit, GOG has nothing to do with this
You are here, you depend on a useable platform to be able to post content and discuss here, and I presume you don't want the subreddit to be overrun with OnlyFans content when it has no moderation (something that happens with any dormant subreddit these days). That means /GOG has everything to do with this, and you are involved.
Final words:
The last time I tried to stand up for something like censorship, the subreddit considered my reaction too harsh, and I've learned from that. So you are getting fair warning, and I'm clearly outlining that I am not deleting anything, and the subreddit isn't disappearing, but will becomes a lot worse to moderate and use, regardless if more people step up to moderate it. If after this you still want to pour salt and acid on me, go for it! I stand for what I believe to be fair and common sense worthy, and y'all coming with me, if only for 2 days!

2023.06.05 12:41 Scared-Ad-3692 My significant other is Arospec

Before I start I just want to apologize if this wasn’t the place to post this, I just figured it would be best to get advice from those who are on the aromantic spectrum.
Hi, I’m posting here today because I’m honestly not sure what to do. My boyfriend of six months recently came out as arospec to me and while I am so proud of him and glad he told me I am also afraid. My last relationship ended because the person I was dating realized they never loved me and it really screwed me. It took me a long time to heal and try to get back to where I was pre breakup. I am afraid that I’m going to go through this again and be told that he cannot love me the way I love him.
Does anyone have any advice on how to bring this up to him? He deserves good communication and right now I can’t give it to him- and that’s not fair. I want to be as supportive of him as possible but also tell him how I’m feeling because if I don’t it’ll sit and fester and become a larger issue Yknow? Right now I’m not handling my anxiety too well and I really don’t want that to impact him or our relationship. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated 💛💛 thanks in advance

2023.06.05 12:41 Important_Strategy68 We live together and have a dog, yesterday he broke up with me in text, i dont know what to do

He went on a trip with his dad and brother, which made me anxious as we live in a remote area which is hard to access by public transport. This meant me staying st other people’s place with our dog. He didn’t really text me back on the trip, than i started to express it hurts and worries me. We fought about it , but he was very passive, not really texting back. Than i started to ask him if he cares, what is going on, and if he doesn’t care than please rip the band aid off. In this conversation at some point i asked like is this how you break up with me. Which he replied that i am breaking up with him. In the end he said i want too much from him in general, that he feels like he needs to regulate my emotions. (Before he left he asked how I wanted to talk these days and i said just please answer me when i text you because it makes me anxious if you don’t, but i dont him to constantly text or call, he should enjoy. Which he said that is easy and he good with it) and he started to hint thinks like “i cant be there for you”. Than i asked for clarification and ask him to not male this about me because i am happy. He said he is unhappy, he doesn’t want to break up with me but he can’t be with me. Than he did break up with me, when i tolfd him to say it than. It was very weird, his woird choice were not sounding like him. I live in a place with intense housing crisis and landlords are not pet friendly. I asked if he wants to do anything with the dog but he didn’t answer(yes this all went down in text). Next year we would have taken a semester abroad together, but now i just want to leave this country and go to my home country. But than i lose this semester. I am very worried about the problems this brings in life (like housing, our dog is already been down since he is not home) and I cannot handle the pain, I just feel frozen. I don’t understand, as before he left he was telling me how happy we make him and how much he will miss us. A month or so ago we had a serious talk about our problems but it has been developing and getting so much better. Before he left, I was telling him I am afraid he will like his vacation so mcuh he will want to end it eith me and he found it ridiculous… Any advice could help

2023.06.05 12:41 Araasis 6 months of hard work down the drain

I have an 8 month old Cairn Terrier that I've had since he was 8 weeks old. From essentially day one, I've been getting him use to nail trims/grinding and being handled in general. Messing with his feet/ears/mouth, giving him treats every time I bring out the clippers and/or grinder, praising calmness, ect. He was starting to get used to his weekly nail trims and I was super proud of him! I also wanted him to get use to other people handling him so I've taken him to groomers to just bathe him and do his nails. I always told them "We're working on getting him used to being handled. If you notice any behavior thats not just related to him being a young puppy, please let me know so i can work on it." The first two times, the groomer said he did great, he's just a wiggly puppy. The third time, the place I normally take him was booked so I took him to another groomer with good reviews. Gave them the same speech and they got to work. When I came to pick him up, I was shocked to hear that my puppy snapped at the girl the entire time she was bathing him, peed all her and himself, and snapped at her again while drying. She wasn't even comfortable attempting his nails. Horrified, I apologized and said that I've never gotten that report before and I absolutely will continue to work on it.
Now, if I bring out the nail clippers and attempt to do them, he growls and snaps. I am so disheartened.
My question is, how do I go forward getting him used to nail trims again? I know I essentially have to start from scratch but now I don't have to just deal with a wiggly puppy, but an AGGRESSIVE wiggly puppy. I feel so guilty and I know he's just terrified but it breaks my heart to see my normally sweet and goofy guy turn into a monster so fast.
Any tips would be appreciated.

2023.06.05 12:41 Hypodorious 75355 X-Wing with updated nose, fixed wing gap and droop

Hi everyone,
These are picture of some modifications I made to the nose of the X-Wing. Most of the surfaces were tiled and I added a slope along the top of the side panels to close the gaps. I tried to keep the colour scheme and shape intact. The internal structure and panel attachment points stayed the same - still just those two clips towards the rear. The transparent antenna things were pushed back half a stud so the nose tip can be pushed in that last mm whatever.
The angles worked out perfectly for the top edge of side panels to stay parallel throughout the length of the nose. That shaped very nicely into a hexagon. Just need to make a bit of room inside, the doubled-up Technic beam structure was a bit overkill so removing the upper layer didn't compromise sturdiness. The tip was also slimmed down a bit. I used a bunch of 1x2 - 1x4 brackets as the structure for the top tile structure to keep it thin.
While I was at it, I also tried to angle the canopy up slightly like in the reference models but if I'm being honest, I'm not sure it looks better the way it's shaped. Any more angle and things just stop looking right. It also would've been nice to slim the nose width by 1 stud but I couldn't find a way to make it look right with this canopy.
The wing mechanism to fix the gap/droop was its own project, the details can be found in my previous post. That mod also brings the engines a bit closer to the fuselage.
I think the next step is to scale the whole model to fit the engines, so that means adding 7~8 studs to the wingspan and likewise to the length... at this point we'd just be rebuilding the whole thing...
Also would love to see how the nose tip can be done better!

2023.06.05 12:41 ptpwallet Crypto Regulation: What Entrepreneurs Need to Know


The emergence of cryptocurrencies has altered the financial environment and given business owners new chances for development, innovation, and investment. But with such quick growth also comes the necessity to understand the intricate and dynamic world of cryptocurrency regulation. To maintain compliance, safeguard their companies, and take advantage of the enormous possibilities offered by this digital revolution, company owners must be aware of the legal and regulatory frameworks that surround cryptocurrencies.
In this article, we'll give business owners a thorough introduction to cryptocurrency regulations so they'll be prepared to manage this quickly changing environment. We will discuss the current regulatory environment, differences in regulations across jurisdictions, and best practices to ensure compliance.

Overview of Current Crypto Regulatory Landscape

Governments everywhere are stepping in to create regulatory frameworks that handle issues like fraud, money laundering, investor protection, and market stability as cryptocurrencies grow more mainstream and are adopted more widely. Below are a few of the crypto laws that differ per nation;
United States
In the United States, the regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is still developing. Recent events suggest that interest in regulating the business is growing, as the SEC has been particularly active with several high-profile instances involving cryptocurrency-related fraud and ICOs. One of the most important events in American history was the passing of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act in 2021. A section of this legislation that regulated cryptocurrencies required brokers to report any Bitcoin transactions worth more than $10,000 to the IRS.
China
To assess inheritances, China classifies bitcoins as property. Due to their facilitation of unauthorized public financing, cryptocurrency exchanges are prohibited from functioning in China by the People's Bank of China (PBOC). Additionally, China banned Bitcoin mining in May 2021, prompting many people who were involved in the practice to shut down their businesses completely or move to countries with better regulatory environments. Cryptocurrencies were explicitly outlawed in September 2021, yet the nation has been putting effort into building the electronic Chinese yuan (e-CNY) that it formally launched in August 2022.
Canada
The Canadian government wants to provide more clarity to the cryptocurrency sector and integrate the emerging asset class into the legal system. The Canadian banking and insurance regulator OSFI published the first federal regulations for cryptocurrencies in August 2022, and exchanges have essentially been regulated similarly to traditional money service businesses in Canada since 2019. Overall, nonetheless, the Canadian regulatory environment is frequently thought of as harsher than its American cousins. For instance, in 2021, both FTX and Binance completely withdrew from the Canadian province of Ontario as a result of stifling regulatory requirements.
India
Regarding cryptocurrency policy, India is still undecided, as neither legalizing nor outlawing is in use. All cryptocurrency investments are subject to a 30% tax, and trades are subject to a 1% tax deducted at source (TDS). Overall, India is still hesitant to either regulate or outright outlaw cryptocurrency. At best, current regulations are ambiguous and offer little direction to investors.

Potential Implications of crypto regulations for Startups

Market stability in the cryptocurrency industry can be significantly impacted by crypto regulations. Thus, the unusually high level of volatility experienced in the cryptocurrency market may in part be attributed to the lack of comprehensive rules. Crypto regulation may lead to financial instability, market manipulation, and centralization.
Although a higher entry barrier indeed raises the quality of projects generally in the crypto space, maintaining compliance poses a financial and regulatory burden on smaller, capital-starved enterprises, which tend to screen out high-potential ideas. By limiting who can invest based on the accreditation criteria, the designation of tokens (such as private securities for issuers pursuing Reg D or Reg S exemptions) significantly lowers the pool of possible investors.
The SEC allows issuers to sell to non-accredited investors outside the US, but they must abide by the local restrictions of each investor, some of which have their own accreditation requirements. Early on, the process of investing in tokens was rather straightforward: to join the token market, consumers would just create an account using their email. Now, customer identification procedures have gradually increased, with exchanges and ICO issuances requesting progressively more identifying information and papers to grant access to their platforms.

What entrepreneurs need to know to stay compliant with crypto regulation

To stop the actions of financial fraudsters and cybercriminals, cryptocurrency compliance makes sure that cryptocurrency investors and businesses adhere to particular standards and rules. Separate cryptocurrency niches have separate sets of rules and norms. However, the compliance requirements are all designed to cut down on crypto fraud.
Depending on the type of assets, businesses dealing in digital currencies must register with FinCEN, the SEC, and/or CFTC and abide by the BSA. Additionally, they must adhere to state-level laws. Regulated enterprises must do a risk analysis of their exposure to money laundering activities and, based on the findings, develop an AML program to remain compliant.
AML refers to a collection of practices and laws that aid in spotting and preventing the exploitation of transactions resulting from illegal activity. It includes the Know-your-customer (KYC), know-your-business (KYB), and know-your-transactions (KYT) policies. AML standards can be used by a firm to assess people, entities, wallets, and transactions to spot and report suspicious and unlawful activity to law enforcement.
Startups should develop recordkeeping and reporting standards, including a process for reporting suspicious behavior, in addition to the AML program. Additionally, organizations must adopt the Customer Identification Program (CIP), a US law that mandates that certain enterprises confirm their customers during onboarding and transactions.

Conclusion

Startups can position themselves for success in this dynamic market while limiting risks and establishing confidence with stakeholders by comprehending the complexities of cryptocurrency regulation. Legislative changes may benefit the industry, but they also present challenges. The proper balance between regulation and innovation must be struck to avoid stifling technical advancements. Too many or poorly designed regulations might impede innovation, send it offshore, and force operations into unregulated regions. The crypto revolution is not just about technology; it's also about following the law and engaging in ethical business practices.

2023.06.05 12:40 burningexeter Currently, I'm in the middle of writing an Attack On Titan fanfiction before the anime's finale comes out.

Currently, I'm in the middle of writing an Attack On Titan fanfiction before the anime's finale comes out. Not only is it a sequel to the anime but also is a well written and interesting yet subversive Mikasa x Historia fanfiction. Read the run-through below on the body text.
The fic I'm writing is on Wattpad but when I'm finished with it, I'll carry it over to Archive Of Our Own.
Said fic is called "Attack On Titan: A Former Queen, A Former Soldier" and it goes like this —
Set two years after the Rumbling and one year after the bid returned Mikasa's scarf to her, we follow Historia Reiss - now under her old alias Christa Lenz - in hiding on the modern side of the world that is exactly how it is today and has ostracized Marley and Eldia.... until the most recent events, with her daughter Ymir as she wants to finally have and give a decent, normal, quiet life for her child and herself. They live in Argonauts Bay, a large seaside town that's an oddball cross between the Goon Docks and certain London/San Francisco housing and their home is a former bookstore that they made into their own living quarter with plenty of wonderful books still on the shelves.
The whole first two acts of the story follow Historia in a not-so-normal day in the life of her as she has to pay what she owes to three certain people and we follow her as we explore her mindset, how she interacts with others, her love for her daughter and her new life now that she's left being the Queen of the Walls.
Then all that changes when the third/final act comes around, after a very long day and when it's dark now, Historia comes home to find Mikasa in her home, having tracked her down as she's now a bounty hunter and hearing about Christa Lenz on a certain travel, and the result is an incredibly intense stand-off, reunion and cat-like game as Mikasa, in a sick and twisted way, toys with Historia in her own macabre and catty but sexual way.
Mikasa tricks Historia into being right where she wants her and then proceeds to both assault and sexually assault the latter. Historia though stands up to her and Mikasa, through pinning Historia on her kitchen fridge, finally explains why she's here and it's because she wants to start a new life with her.
See, after the bird returned her scarf, she realized she had to move on from Eren, she needed to move on. She's already been around half of the "new world" more than anyone on either Marley or Paradis from Los Angeles, San Francisco, Albuquerque, El Paso, Portland, Baltimore, Bright Falls and so on. But then her past that she was trying to run from all finally caught up with her and the result made her a bounty hunter. Her incredible ODM skills and fighting skills proved more than exceptional when hunting and killing "human sleaze" that are wanted dead or alive. She leaves some alive but most dead even joking in a macabre way that human heads pop off in rather peculiar ways.
However after taking in another wanted fugitive, she heard of the inhabitants nearby in Argonauts Bay - one of which immediately caught her attention by her name, appearance description and personality. That being Christa Lenz.
It's then that she realized what was happening to her and what she was becoming. Not wanting to be this, she sees Historia as the only way out - the only ticket out of this life. Mikasa explains that she and Historia have a lot in common especially with their relationships with Eren and Ymir and dealing with their losses.
After a struggle to escape her grasp, Mikasa says to Historia "I've been waiting all day for this" now having had enough of Historia.
Historia, in a mix of fear and confusion, asks in horror "W-what do you mean?" not realizing what's about to happen before it's too late.
A devilish smile comes across Mikasa's face as she begins to laugh just as devilishly, she licks her lips in a creepy and unnerving yet sexual way, she looks Historia right in the eyes and closes in, chuckling to herself.
Historia then bursts out screaming in horror, her mouth wide open, her pupils dilated, her eyes bulging out and her hair moving away from her neck and head.
There's nothing but silence for five seconds then we cut or rather go back and see that Mikasa is kissing Historia, in still shock, with the former's tongue deep in the latter's mouth. The latter gives in and the two proceed to make out and have sex.
After having sex, Mikasa and Historia just lay on the floor looking up, contemplating what just happened. Especially Historia who asks herself out loud "Oh, Historia.... what have you done?".
The two of them have a natural but heartfelt conversation after this and discuss their lives then and now, the struggles of raising a child all by yourself in this world, their childhoods, the numerous individual places Mikasa's been, watching their mothers killed right in front of their eyes as kids, how the sex was, the impact that Eren and Ymir made on them and last but not least, Mikasa sincerely apologizing and begging for Historia's forgiveness.
Before Mikasa shows Historia where her daughter is as promised, she pulls a beautiful golden ring out and asks her "Will you marry me?" to which a hesitant Historia finally replied with the answer Mikasa has wanted to hear all this time - "Yes".
Historia is reunited with her daughter who was tied up and hidden in a cabinet by Mikasa as she introduces a tearful and scared Ymir to her new mother - Mikasa Ackerman.
The final scene takes place at the end of the very next day as Mikasa and Historia, holding each other, look out into the sunset with the latter asking the former "Mikasa, what really was Eren for you?" and the former answering "My ending and my beginning".
Details:
These are the places that Mikasa tells Historia where she's been to....
Bright Falls, Sunnydale, Farmington, Charming, Santo Padre, Agrestic, Salem's Lot and Hawkins.
Shared universe? Probably.
Well, what do you guys all think and be honest.

2023.06.05 12:40 sikksakk The meaning of "gurem"

I guess this might be a semi-cultural and not as much a linguistic question, but i feel like this is the right place to start.
For context: I'm reading a book from Quan Barry ("When I'm Gone, Look For Me in the East") that takes place in Mongolia (and the author is using a lot of local words, marked by italics). I understand from context that we are talking about a Tibetan buddhist tradition/practice and the sentence goes like this:
... after the fall of Soviet Union, he quickly reinstitutes the practice of gurem. Thanks to gurem, we monks travel to people's homes where we pray that the family may be free from hunger, thirst, illness, and in return, the people makes us offerings of food and money.
Googling doesn't get me anywhere - I only find the word guren, which is connected to buddhism but seems to me to mean smth else. Are there any sources on the internet where I could read more about this gurem? On what occasion does it take place? Also the original spelling in Mongolian would be useful.
Disclaimer: I hope I'm not crowding this space with these specific questions about one book, considering I asked a question recently. It's just such a beautiful piece of work and I appreciate any insight into these words that I can't find any references to on the internet. Much of it is searchable :) But I hope it's ok to ask you guys. Thank you so much!

2023.06.05 12:40 Substantial_Alps_599 Navigating the Challenges of Night Shifts: Tips for Night-Shift Nurses

Introduction :

Working night shifts as a nurse can be both rewarding and challenging. While it offers a unique set of opportunities, it also presents various obstacles that can affect your well-being and performance. In this blog, we will explore the common challenges faced by night-shift nurses and provide valuable tips to help you navigate through them effectively. By implementing these strategies, you can optimize your physical and mental health, enhance your job satisfaction, and provide the best possible care for your patients.

1. Understanding the Circadian Rhythm:

The human body is naturally attuned to a circadian rhythm, a 24-hour internal clock that regulates our sleep-wake cycle. Night-shift nurses often struggle with disrupting this natural rhythm, leading to sleep disturbances and fatigue. By understanding how the circadian rhythm works and how it affects your body, you can make informed choices to minimize its impact on your well-being.

2. Establishing a Consistent Sleep Routine:

Maintaining a regular sleep routine is crucial for night-shift nurses. Create a sleep-friendly environment, invest in blackout curtains, and ensure a comfortable bed to promote quality sleep. Establish a consistent pre-sleep routine, such as dimming lights, engaging in relaxation techniques, or listening to soothing music. Avoid caffeine and stimulating activities before bed to optimize your sleep quality.

3. Prioritizing Nutrition and Hydration:

Night shifts can disrupt regular eating patterns and lead to unhealthy snacking or skipping meals altogether. Plan and prepare nutritious meals and snacks in advance to fuel your body properly. Opt for balanced meals with lean proteins, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Stay hydrated by drinking water throughout your shift to prevent fatigue and maintain alertness.

4. Utilizing Strategic Napping:

Short power naps during breaks can help alleviate fatigue and improve alertness. Keep naps to 20-30 minutes to avoid feeling groggy upon waking. Find a quiet, comfortable space to rest, and use an eye mask or earplugs to block out distractions. Experiment with different nap timings to identify what works best for you.

5. Engaging in Physical Activity:

Regular exercise has numerous benefits for night-shift nurses. It can boost energy levels, improve mood, and enhance sleep quality. Prioritize physical activity by incorporating it into your daily routine. Engage in activities like brisk walking, jogging, yoga, or strength training. Find a workout buddy or join exercise classes to stay motivated.

6. Building a Support System:

Having a strong support system is crucial for night-shift nurses. Connect with colleagues who understand the challenges you face and share experiences, tips, and coping strategies. Engage in open communication with your loved ones to help them understand your unique schedule and requirements. Seek professional support or counseling if needed to manage stress or emotional difficulties.

2023.06.05 12:40 Anglicanpolitics123 Social justice with St Thomas Aquinas(Part 1). The importance of equity as a principle in Christian ethics.

Introduction:
I thought I'd do a series titled "social justice with Thomas Aquinas". My reasons being are a following. St Thomas Aquinas is one of the most important thinkers and saints in the Christian tradition. He's also one of the most important intellectuals in history, irrespective of whether one is a Christian or not. In relation to this topic one of the things that is often times unrealised is the important influence St Thomas Aquinas and may in the Christian tradition had on the development of our understandings of human rights and social justice. When the Spanish Conquistadors for instance came to the new world and enslaved and exploited the indigenous peoples of Central and South America, Dominican monks from the School of Salamanca influenced by Aquinas's philosophy organised the first protest movement of modern history. This helped give birth to modern notions of human rights. Similarly, in the 19th century Jesuit priests such as Luigi Taparelli coined the phrase "social justice", influenced by Aquinas's understanding of distributive justice. So his influence is fairly immense in this area. So here are his thoughts on Equity:
Aquinas and Equity:
"Legislators in framing laws attend to what commonly happens: although if the law be applied to certain cases it will frustrate the equality of justice and be injurious to the common good, which the law has in view. Thus the law requires deposits to be restored, because n the majority of cases this is just. Yet, it happens sometimes to be injurious-for instance if a madman were to put his sword in deposit, and demand its delivery while in a state of madness, or if a man were to seek the return of his deposit in order to fight against his country. In these and like cases it is bad to follow the law, and it is good to set aside the letter of the law and to follow the dictates of justice and the common good. This is the object of epikeia, which we call equity. Therefore it is evidence that equity is a virtue"(Summa Theologica, Q 120, Art 1)
"Equity does not set aside that which is just in itself but that which is just as by law established. Nor is it opposed to severity, which follows the letter of the law when it ought to be followed. To follow the letter of the law when it ought not to be followed is sinful. Hence it is written in the Codex of Laws and Constitutions under Law V: 'Without doubt he transgresses the law who by adhering to the letter of the law strives to defeat the intention of the lawgiver'"(Summa Theologica, Q 120, Art 1, Reply Obj 1)
"A virtue has three kinds of parts, subjective, integral and potential. A subjective part is one of which the whole is predicated essentially, and it is less than the whole. This may happen in two ways. For sometimes one things is predicated of many in one common ratio, as animal of horse and ox: and sometimes one thing is predicated of many according to priority and posteriority, as being of substance and accident. Accordingly, equity is a part of just taken in the general sense, for it is a kind of justice....Wherefore it is evident that equity is a subjective part of justice; and justice is predicated of it with priority to being predicated of legal justice, since legal justice is subject to the direction of equity. Hence equity is by way of being a higher rule of human actions"(Summa Theologica, Q 120, Art 2)
Analysis:
The first thing we see here is that Aquinas sees equity as a virtue. And it is a virtue precisely because it is a part of the quest to seek both justice and the common good. That in turn is what social justice means in the original sense of the word. Secondly we see Aquinas state that sometimes equity includes legal justice, and sometimes it transcends it. He states clearly that if there are times when the law ought not to be followed. He articulates this times in other places in his writing when that positive law(human law) violates the dictates of natural law, which sets the foundation of natural justice. In that context, if someone is following a law when that law ought not to be followed, that is sinful. To pursue equity sometimes means disobeying the law for the higher principles of justice and the common good in society. The Reverend Dr Martin Luther King Jr, in his Letter from the Birmingham Jail during the Civil Rights era, saw this in his fight against segregation and actually quotes Aquinas in his justification for his acts of civil disobedience. Lastly Aquinas sees justice as being predicated on equity. He uses the analogy of animals as a general category and ox and horses as specific categories. If a farmer as ox and horses, those ox and horses are the predicate for there being animals n the barn. Similarly equity is one of the things that justice is predicated on and according to Aquinas it has priority to legal justice since legal justice itself has to be ordered to equity for it to be just. This in turn is a Biblical view of reality since in the Bible one of the goals of the Law itself is equity. Hence it commands "True justice must be given to foreigners living among you and to orphans, and you must never accept a widow's garment as security for her debt. Always remember that you were slaves in Egypt and that the Lord your God redeemed you from your slavery. That is why I have given you this command"(Deuteronomy 24:17-18). The prophets in turn saw this commands as a sacred injunction to maintain an equitable society, hence why they state "Learn to do good. Seek justice. Help the oppressed. Defend the cause of orphans. Fight for the right widows"(Isaiah 1:17)

2023.06.05 12:40 EducatorTotal2952 little bit of dreaming

Im just curious what you people think what would be the best case scenario for IOTA? We by now have some idea where all of this is going. I am of the opinion that we are kind of on a edge of something. I cannot point finger at it yet ,but something is cooking. Can I prove it? No. Is it possible that I am completely wrong? Yes.
You see, the fact to the matter is that old naratives of crypto are in a retreat. There are some pockets of change that are pointing to the fact that the old narative is still fighting and triing to gain ground. For example El salvador is starting to love bitcoin and the adoption is increasing there(in case you are not familiar they made bitcoin its legal tender). It is completely possible that high inflation countries will follow same path of adoption if they see success from El Salvador. That would mean that the crypto will be starting to replace old fiat currencies in the future. From the logical standpoint one could argue that the cryptocurrencies in general are the superior, more atuned form of representing value. Why? Becouse of the concept of decentralization, digital nature , deflation, and invulnerability to all known attacks. And the very important fact, they cannot be medled with its supply, flooded with liquidity from central authorities and that does mean alot. If they were used instead of FIAT ones we would never made such a mess with all this inflation. The world would go from high spending to high saving. People would still buy stuff they need and by default start getting richer instead of poorer by the passage of time. Wouldnt that make a better world then the current one which operates under the false premise of infinite growth but with finite resources? In a perfect world, what would be the currency that fits the standards of mass adoption? Well, It would have to be completly green, with no unnecesary spending of energy. It would have a finite supply, one that in reality reflects the finite resources we have as a species. It would be decentralised, which means no meddling by any authority, It would be completly safe in its protocol, and ligtning fast and scalable. Now I think IOTA checks so many boxes that it is impossible to ignore for anyone who is familiar with it. Whether the world is recognising that fact at this point is irrelevant. But it is a fact that cryptocurrencies ARE superior form of value transfer and IOTA IS superior to all the current top dogs of this space. Even with all the flaws it currently has. Lets compare Doge with IOTA. In what insane world does the value od Doge deserves the 20x of value compared to IOTA? A pump and dump joke that has 0 development and absolutly 0 value except occasional pump from Elon with his insane proposition of "strangest thing usually wins" out of the ass argument which makes 0 sense. The thing that usually wins is the one that is Best built to serve and do what it was designed to do. Now how does IOTA compare to BTC, the coin that has 1000x its value? The transactions cost for BTC can vary between 2$ and a fu*in 60$ per transaction. Now imagine scaling this to 100X or 1000X. What would be cost then? 1000$? 2000$? How in the fu*k is this superior to IOTA which has 0 transaction costs? Is BTC green? No it is far from it. It spends so much energy that entire countries can be powered instead. it is consuming 127 terawatt-hours (TWh) a year . For example, Croatia, country in which Im in , consumes 17 terawatt-hours (TWh) a year. A country with 4 million people. How is this superior to IOTA, a coin that wastes no energy? Or lets talk about bottlenecks of BTC transactions. When the networks is not clogged, the transaction times usually lasts dozens of minutes, but when its clogged, the transactions times can be hours. IOTA by comparison is faster by each transaction . You see what im getting at? Even with all flaws of current state of IOTA(and they will improve) I just cant find a valid reason why we should be this low and top dogs where they are. I see no valid reason why we should lose ground in crypto space except for idiotic moon boys and speculators who are currently dominating the market. If the market starts moving in the direction of fair value(and it is supposed and designed to be doing that) then the IOTA WILL start gaining ground. When and how it will exactly happed I dont know , but im placing my chips that it will happen. Cheers and <3 people

2023.06.05 12:40 code_hunter_cc Download a ReactJS object as a file

Ajax
I am building an application with a ReactJS front end that connects to an Express API server. Calls to the API are made using Ajax.
In one of my views, a table loads with "Export" links on each row. The Export links lead to a React route that calls an API endpoint which provides a CSV file to download.
If I hit the API endpoint directly with a valid request (outside the React app), a file download is initiated in my browser. Perfect! However, following the Export link from the React page attempts to load the view where the call to the API occurs. The table disappears from the view and is replaced by the file contents (on purpose to prove I have the data) but no file is downloaded.
Can I force a download of the contents of the response object as a file?Could this take place in the ajax success callback?I made an attempt with javascript but I'm struggling with the React virtual DOM...I assume this must be pretty straight forward but I'm stumped.
EDIT: Comments by @Blex helped me solve this issue! The solution is added to the code snippet...
Here is the JSX that receives the data:
module.exports = React.createClass({ mixins: [Router.State], getInitialState: function() { return { auth: getAuthState(), export: [], passedParams: this.getParams() }; }, componentDidMount: function(){ $.ajax({ type: 'GET', url: ''+ API\_URL +'/path/to/endpoint'+ this.state.passedParams.id +'/export', dataType: 'text', headers: { 'Authorization': 'Basic ' + this.state.auth.base + '' }, success: function (res) { // can I force a download of res here? console.log('Export Result Success -- ', res); if(this.isMounted()){ console.log('Export Download Data -- ', res); this.setState({export: res[1]}); // adding the next three lines solved my problem var data = new Blob([res], {type: 'text/csv'}); var csvURL = window.URL.createObjectURL(data); //window.open(csvURL); // then commenting out the window.open & replacing // with this allowed a file name to be passed out tempLink = document.createElement('a'); tempLink.href = csvURL; tempLink.setAttribute('download', 'filename.csv'); tempLink.click(); } }.bind(this), error: function (data) { console.log('Export Download Result Error -- ', data); } }); }, render: function(){ console.log('exam assignment obj -- ', this.state.passedParams.name); var theFileContents = this.state.export; return(
{theFileContents} // this loads the contents // can I auto download theFileContents?
) }});

2023.06.05 12:39 wannabe_zendog Options for getting a therapist-recommended dog, when it may be against the lease

I own a flat in London, share of freehold.With this arrangement, I am technically a leaseholder of my flat to a company who owns the building. I am then also an equal co-owner of the company with the other freeholders. So, I am still subject to a lease.

I've been doing dogsitting and found it helpful for my mental health. I've been recommended by my therapist to get a live-in dog to support my emotional wellbeing. I'm unclear if my lease supports this, this is what it says:
“Not to keep or permit to be kept any bird dog or other animal in or upon the demised premises which may cause damage nuisance or annoyance to the Lessees or occupiers of any other flats on the said Estate or to which an objection shall be notified by the Company”
It sounds like perhaps dogs (or any pets) are not allowed, though I know different freeholders have different interpretations of this statement. But is it really that vague, or does it have a clear meaning?
In general, the lease is quite long and old, and many of the specific rules are not adhered-to by neighbours. For example, there's a point about not having flower boxes on balconies which several people don't adhere to.
There are a few other freeholders who regularly bring dogs into the building for dogsitting, including one neighbour who regularly has a dog staying with them for weeks at a time.
We do have one freeholder who in particular hates dogs and has taken issue to dogs being on the property in the past.
Just wondering what my options are in terms of getting a dog? Both how to interpret the lease, and also the relevant UK laws. As an aside, I did some reading online and looks like there are increasing protections for renters to own pets, wondering if that might influence my situation.

2023.06.05 12:39 starmanziggy How do I navigate the discomfort that my boyfriend is friends with his former FWB?

I have a wonderful partner and stable relationship. I trust him completely, enjoy our time together, etc. He always conducts himself appropriately around me and spends quality time with me.
And then there's his FWB...
It's a tricky situation because their timeline, in short is that they met on Tinder, went on dates/had sex, she decided to pursue someone else (her now husband), my boyfriend and her became close friends, this woman opened her marriage and began having sex with my boyfriend for many years, and then she closed the relationship when she wanted to get pregnant. They had not been together for about 7 months before I started dating him.
My boyfriend is loyal and said feelings were never involved, and I believe him. But because of this circumstance, I have a really really hard time being around her because it's clear that she has a deep affection for him. There's technically nothing wrong, but it feels overbearing to me, like when she made him a custom mug, feels comfortable enough to sleep over at his place (it's fair: she's also friends with his roommate), and is so comfortable with him.
I'm aware that this makes him a really good guy: he has platonic relationships with a caring woman. She also must have a strong bond with her husband, who is similarly around.
Unfortunately, I hate their whole dynamic. I hate that she's so close and sweet with him. I hate that they never established boundaries and nothing actually changed when she closed the relationship... they just stopped having sex. Because there IS an intimacy here and because it has nothing to do with monogamy or being in a relationship, I feel as though you can't delineate before and after his involvement with them. It was "just sex", but to me, it seems so much more obvious than that.
I've been to therapy and multiple therapists said that I'm not crazy and I should figure out my boundaries and talk to him about being less close with her. While we've developed some boundaries, like I don't want him getting drunk around her, and he hasn't except when I'm around, I think this is actually about me processing this in a healthy way. How do you accept that your boyfriend has a close friendship with a woman in he used have sexual relations with when he doesn't do anything wrong, just her? B
