Sea glass display ideas

Hello! I'm glad to welcome you here! I'm an artist at heart and a passionate writer from Russia, seeking new friends and connections with interesting people. My interests include acting, writing short stories, and even studying virtual and augmented reality for game development. Additionally, I have a background in teaching history and social studies.
I call myself an "information junkie" because I love immersing myself in a sea of information and constantly seeking new knowledge. My brain simply can't remain idle and suffers from boredom when I'm not acquiring new information. I have a great love for dark humor and appreciate people who can cleverly joke and laugh at themselves and others without hesitation.
I'm looking for friends with whom I can indulge in fantasy, exchange ideas, and simply have a great time. If you share my love for art, travel, and unconventional thinking, we'll surely find common ground.
Let's chat and come up with something fun together. I'm confident that our conversations will be filled with humor and intelligent discussions. I look forward to your message!

Si alguien tiene hermanos menores, hijos, sobrinos o entran en ese grupo etario me podrian tirar alguna idea de en que andan los pibes de 18 a 25 años en argentina y en el mundo porque no los entiendo, no entiendo si son sociales o no, si son mas de las redes o no, el entretenimiento parece basarse en el streaming de un monton de idiotas pero preocupantes y encima les donan plata? que onda con eso? esta bien que con la guita que uno consigue legalmente haga lo que quiere pero que impulsa a la gente a donar dinero a tarados que se filman jugando jueguitos, reaccionando a videos de youtube, inventando anecdotas y haciendo pseudo gran hermanos? me esta pegando el viejazo de que todo lo de los jovenes es una cagada? puede que sea mi culpa, debe haber gente piola de esa edad y no trato con ellos y la porcion de la poblacion a la que tengo acceso son boludos..

Towards the end of a Neuralink event in 2020, a handful of team members from different disciplines answered most interesting questions from the Internet. They took turns and expressed what kind of applications excite them the most and shared what they expect to see from Neuralink in the future.

1 For Visual Prosthesis

One of the engineers at Neuralink who works in the visual neuroscience department said that this project has the potential to provide a visual prosthesis for people who have retinal injury or blindness through eye injury. The idea is to essentially plug a camera directly into the visual cortex and stimulate an enormous array of thousands or maybe tens of thousands of electrodes to recreate a visual image. And in time perhaps the same technology can be used to produce some kind of heads up display. To this Elon Musk added that we could actually give somebody supervision. One can see the world in various wavelengths like ultraviolet or infrared and radar. All one has to do is basically name their frequency and dynamically adjust the sensor to have a superhuman vision.

2 For Telepathy

According to one of the lead chip designers at Neuralink, Telepathy can be the next frontier for Neuralink. He explained that it takes an incredible amount of effort to put thoughts into a set of words. These words are a compressed format of our immense thinking capabilities. Musk too, chimed in on this idea and added that the data rate of words is very low data and we’re putting a tremendous amount of mental energy into compressing the concepts and thoughts on our head into words. With Neuralink one might actually send the true thoughts and communicate far better. Musk called this communication a ‘non-linguistic consent consensual conceptual telepathy’.

3 As An Oscilloscope For Brain

Oscilloscopes provide visual information of printed circuit boards(PCBs). Similarly, the Neuralink device can shed light on many functions of the brain. “The side effect of this device is, you’ll end up learning a ton about how the brain works,” said one of the team members.

4 Unlocking Hidden Creativity

As discussed in case of telepathy, our communication systems are inefficient when it comes to translating thoughts. One of the lead researchers believes that there is a lot of untapped creativity in each one of us. “ For example you know to close your eyes and conjure up an incredible like dolly-esque scene but you know if I wanted to actually show someone that it would take years of honing a craft to be able to paint it. With enough electrodes in the right places you could begin to sort of tap into those raw concepts or thought vectors and be able to decode that and show people primitive versions of music or even 3D model for engineering,” he explained.

5 Nostalgia On Demand

Memories fade. They get replaced, edited through narratives. As years pile up, the original version is no longer there. Though this sounds like straight out of the movie Memento, it is unfortunately true. So, one of the team members hinted at the idea of memories as repositories. Like music,, one can go revisit the memory and alter the mood on demand. If this is cracked, then cognitive disorders like dementia can be easily dealt with.

6 Eliminate Pain

One of the in house neurosurgeons who was present at the event, spoke how pain is essence of basically all human suffering. There are so many diseases today, which can cause lot of pain. Even the treatments can be painful. If this pain is somehow minimised then the way we look at ailments dramatically changes. Neuralink devices can play a crucial role in this too.

7 AI Symbiosis

Form the perspective of our species, Musk reminded everyone, it’s going to be important to figure out how we coexist with advanced artificial intelligence(AI) and achieving some kind of AI symbiosis where an AI extension of one’s self is like a tertiary layer above the limbic system and cortex . Having that symbiosis can be good to have a world in the future that is controlled by the combined will of the people of earth. According to Musk, this going to be important from an existential threat standpoint to achieve a good AI symbiosis and that’s what might be the most important outcome of Neuralink.

8 Consciousness Through The Lens Of Physics

One researcher expressed his wish to understand the nature of consciousness. “There’s a lot of very silly philosophy that’s been written about over the last thousand years,” he added. “But I think that we’ve been very limited by the tools and our ability to interrogate. And as we measure the brain these tools get better it will pull it into the realm of physics and it’s really one of the last big great mysteries in science.”

9 Disease Prediction

Imagine a disease-free future where you know you know what’s going to happen to you before it happens so you can prevent it with these devices. We’ll be able to not just speak of electrical signals but can also pick up chemical cues in the brain and prevent the diseases ahead of time..

10 Solve Mental Illnesses

The device has the potential to scale to more channels, more regions. As it goes deeper, the chances of solving issues related to anxiety, fear and depression become high. One of the team members wants fear to be eliminated so that she can enjoy her rock climbing. However, Musk quickly suggested to her that some fear might still be useful!
All the aforementioned futuristic sounding applications might look quite ambitious. But, we can never bet against Elon Musk. He was even giving a thumbs up when someone suggested if a Tesla could be summoned using Neuralink. So, there definitely seems to be no upper limit to what this coin shaped implant can do.

Anyone have any idea why all my album art displays itself in black in white? Ive tried other themes with no luck

Hello networking wizards, I need your help.
I recently changed my internet configuration on my home computer from a wireless dongle to an ethernet cable. Prior to the change, my internet was fine, except for the typical latency and instability associated with a cheap wireless dongle. My hope was to get more reliable, low ping connections because I like to play competitive online games. My home network consists of several people who use primarily wireless connections, and one roommate of mine and I have both run an ethernet cable. His cable is in port 1, and mine in 2, and they run directly parallel to each-other for about 20 feet.
Annoyingly, since the switch, I have transient connectivity issues which primarily cause websites to fail to load, causing errors within the websites or, occasionally, the entire website won't display. These moments affect all pages and (up to date) firefox and chrome simultanously. Their frequency increases and decreases, from unnoticeable to several events per minute. It is possible that my other wired roommate's internet usage worsens the problem, but I have not considered this problem long enough to say for sure. He does not experience these issues. Usually, failed webpages will successfully reload within a minute of the initial disruption.
I have tried a host of software side modifications on my end, including resetting my IP address, clearing all of my cached browsing data, disabling ipv6, and changing my DNS server to both google and cloudflare. None of these issues made any changes. Interestingly, online gaming is completely unaffected. Also, pinging google and/or my own IP detects no disruptions whatsoever during these events. FWIW Windows 10's network diagnostics tool detects no issues, and my router driver is up to date. I have also, of course, tried power cycling both the desktop and the router.
I'm out of ideas. Have I made a rookie mistake in running two separate ethernet cables to the same router? Could this issue be coming from the OS? Faulty hardware? Shitty ISP? I greatly appreciate any suggestions!
EDIT: spelling

Okay so I and my partner have been together for six months, not that long really but still a substantial amount of time and it has been known from the start that I have pretty poor mental health. I have a counsellor though I'm quitting after one more session because I didn't appreciate the way she responded to something but that's not what this is about.
So basically, tomorrow, the fifth of June marks six months of being together and I have prepared nothing. I have already told them their actual gift will take a while because it's coming in the mail which isn't false, it will be as soon as I actually buy it but for tomorrow I had planned to write them a little note of appreciation for everything they've done for me and tried to help me with.
For example, I tried to hurry up my ascend to heaven and they were very supportive about that, offering to be there for me and so on. Of course, I seldom actually allow them to be there for me but the thought is very much appreciated all the same.
And after I had to kiss a guy who was putting his hands all over me in order to convince him I would come back after I left, they let me go to their house, stay the night and sob in their arms about it.
But am I able to write the note? Of course not! Why would I be able to? I can't get over my sudden bout of insecurity and my brain refuses to allow me to write anything that isn't horrifically self deprecating which is not at all the type of note I want to give them. I was also going to give them a little bit of sea glass I found because they like that sort of thing, at least I'm pretty sure it's sea glass. But that's just a minor detail.
And as if that weren't bad enough, I've informed them that I will be going home much earlier than usual as I plan to visit theirs tomorrow to spend the day together as we are both big quality time enjoyers, spending most my visits to theirs lying in their bed, talking and watching shows or movies. I won't tell them why I'm going home early either but I'll tell anyone reading this.
Wanna know why? Well it's simply because I have decided that I am horrfically ugly and cannot bare to be seen by them, in fear of finally destroying their illusion that I am attractive. And also because of this sudden, aforementioned bout insecurity regarding my competence as a partner.
Honestly, I could go on but I think I'm going a piss poor job of explaining it- I am bone dead exhausted- so I'll stop here and go back to tearing my hair out about this note xoxo

I need advice, inspiration & ideas as a beginner in world building.
I need some advice & inspiration for my universe tht I'm building, it's a high fantasy world similar to DnD, I originally wanted to implement it into the DnD universe as a homebrew but now I'm not certain. Right now I'm currently working on a foundation to build upon and go from there. Feel free to ask any questions about what I already have, because I have some lore for them tht just isn't written down yet.
Alrighty, where to begin lol I'll just copy paste what I have written down from my notepad. These nations are gonna obviously be inspired by real world counter parts tho, so this is all a work in progress.
Fantasy Feudal Dominion -Name: Yamahara -Religion: Bushido Canon/ Diktat of Budai Precept -Districts: Prefectures ruled by 5 Daimyo Clans, Cantons are counties within -Ruler Title: Mikado -Currency: Metsu Daiko=Gold Setsu=Silver Bo-ku=Copper
Fantasy Dynasties- Dowei Dynasty Umog Khanate
Fantasy Mono-Theocratic Kingdom & Hegemony -Name: Caldovia -Demonym: Caldovians/ Sub-Caldonesian -Religion: Church of the One -Districts: Provinces -Political Ruler Title: Sovereign -Theocratic Ruler Title: Pontif -Currency: Crowns/Holy Coins Oro=Gold Plata=Silver Feto=Copper
Greco-Roman Unitary Concordat -Name: Thelldrassia-n Union -Districts: Gracia (Democracy) Ramia (Republic) -Political Ruler Title: Kazaar
I'm also working on northern kingdoms whose counterparts are Kievan Rus, Germanic, Vikings, Celtic Irish/Scottish, Beast kingdoms, Indigenous & desert kingdoms as well.
Again I've already got some lore thought up for this universe as well, like how it came to be, why they're so similar to their real world counterparts yet are also different, etc. I'm also looking for advice & ideas on such things tht help define these nations and peoples like culture, history, calendars, architecture, cuisine, religion, agriculture, geography, clothing types, accents, fauna & flora, etc.
So feel free to ask me questions and give advice and or ideas.
I wanna use Wonderdraft or Inkarnate later to make maps of these nations, they all won't necessarily be on the same continent either, but will be near each other enough to travel. However surrounding these continents is a massive perpetual storm several miles out at sea tht can't be typically seen with the naked eye. This storm has kept them from leaving the radius tht all the continents/nations from exploring any further. I had an idea tht if any of them could brave the storm and manage to survive making it through tht it would lead to other universes like the Forgotten Realms of DnD, Hyborea, etc.

Contexto: tengo ya casi 4 meses saliendo con mi novia, en una relación muy buena a mi consideración proque siempre tenemos una comunicación y respeto sano, el punto es que para hacer cosas más atrevidas apenas hacemos algunas cosas debido a que ella me enseñó que aveces es mejor hacer las cosas trabajando las y de poco a poco y más por unos traumas que ella tenia. Empezamos a hacer cosas como que que en un momento que nos estamos besando le meto la mano en la playera y le levanto un poco el sujetador por atrás y bajo hacia su trasero o lo aprieto etc etc, quisiera tener ideas para hacer más cosas de ese estilo con ella que tampoco sean demasiado atrevidas, para que no siempre que estemos en ese ambiente sea lo mismo y se vuelva repetitivo.

For those of us here, this will contain the comments from both the writer and character designer on the detectives. These are not included in the mini-artbook but is in the hardcover artbook from the collector's edition. Additionally, the hardcover artbook includes more art of the detectives, beta art of the detectives, marketing illustrations, evidence icons, cut-ins, background illustrations, event CGs, character location icons, and LINE stickers. Once again, these comments contain spoilers on the whole game! Please play it before reading.
​
[Incompetent Detective]
Writer's Comment:
We initially took Wato in a cooler, more handsome direction, but once Katsumata read the scenarios, he got a lot cuter. Many of the cast's female characters are the free-spirited type, so Wato ended up becoming the "mom" of the group. (Jobana)
Designer's Comment:
My first impression of Wato was a troublesome one. Not only was he 'incompetent' despite being the main character, he couldn't have too many or too few characteristics. I wrestled with giving him a defining trait without straying too far from a conventional protagonist... In a sense, he took the most trial and error. (Katsumata)
​
[Ideal Detective]
Writer's Comment:
She seems happier after she's dead. Her clothing and conduct keep in line with the "Ideal Detective" image, but her personal belongings and mannerisms have a girlish, childlike quality to them, too. I kind of want to write a story about her day-to-day life... (Jobana)
Designer's Comment:
I remember doing a quick sketch of her right at the outset. Jobana told me to make her albino and mysterious at a glance, so that's what I drew. The challenge was deciding how much of her childishness to let slip in her expressions. (Katsumata)
​
[Renegade Detective]
Writer's Comment:
This guy savored life until the very end. His hair and heels represent his attachment to his mother, whom he murdered. Like Wato and the Quartering Duke, he too was restrained, but since he actually enjoys this, there's no way he'll see eye-to-eye with Wato. (Jobana)
Designer's Comment:
I wrestled with this design the most, wondering right until the very end how far to take it. He has a long black braid, piercing glasses, high heels... so many unique points. But at least his actual clothes are simpler than the other characters. (Katsumata)
​
[Posh Detective]
Writer's Comment:
It was fun to create this 21-year old. She was intended to be totally unpleasant, but she was too good a person for that to be possible. The initial idea was to have her be a classic nasty girl, but when Katsumata read the scenarios, her faded grandeur became more prominent. (Jobana)
Designer's Comment:
Her initial keyword was "aristocratic",* so I drafted a blond princess in an evening gown-esque outfit. Since she works as her company's president, however, she ended up with a more subdued design. She's high maintenance, but a very nice boss. (Katsumata)
*Posh's original title in Japanese
​
[Mystic Detective]
Writer's Comment:
This was the hardest character to kill, both in terms of abilities and personality. That's exactly why the Quartering Duke had him taken out immediately- he didn't want to be discovered. Mystic takes any opportunity to buy occult goods, which always makes Booky mad. (Jobana)
Designer's Comment:
Mystic is another character whose design barely changed from the initial draft. We just added the ragged cape to suggest he's been in battle. He's well-built for a clergyman. I remember thinking, "Does this design really work as a detective?" lol (Katsumata)
​
[Gourmet Detective]
Writer's Comment:
The sexpot specialist. She was at risk of being too much of a one-trick pony to fulfill her role, though (the same mistake I made with Bokuhime!). She has the same basic fighting abilities as Ideal Detective, but her origins are in amateur wrestling, so her moves all start with grabs. Unfortunately, this made her a bad match for the SPXs. (Jobana)
Designer's Comment:
Here she is: the gag boob character. I put her in a motorcycle suit on a whim, and from there, the bike-rider-slash-rest-stop-hopper was born. She's always smiling and likes to fill the older sister role, but occasionally shows off her tough, badass side. (Katsumata)
​
[Workaholic Detective]
Writer's Comment:
No matter what he does, it always backfires. He trusted Doleful with all his heart. His upbringing makes him hot-tempered, something Ideal Detective chides him for regularly (like in Chapter 1). He never learns, though... (Jobana)
Designer's Comment:
I was sure a waistcoat was the way to go when I drew him. He's overworked, and his appearance reflects that he's too busy to get a haircut and has a habit of rolling up his sleeves. I hope players will enjoy the contrast between his kind and harsh expressions. (Katsumata)
​
[Doleful Detective]
Writer's Comment:
Doleful is a contradictory soul; he resents totalitarianism and sacrifices himself more than anyone else for the sake of others. His words as a detective aren't total lies, either, and his thinking resembling Wato's- hence the mixture of good will and hatred in their relationship. (Jobana)
Designer's Comment:
I initially designed him without knowing he was the mastermind, so he had droopier eyes and looked more forlorn. His current design came from me wanting him to look pitiful most of the time, but be able to project intensity when his true nature was revealed. (Katsumata)
​
[Bookworm Detective]
Writer's Comment:
Booky is a breath of fresh air and a useful character. Put her next to Posh Detective, and the dialogue writes itself. Like Rowdy Detective, she's so emotionally complete that I debated killing her off. Ultimately, however, I chose not to because I didn't think Wato or the players would be able to recover.(Jobana)
Designer's Comment:
Her outfit took some trial and error, since she's in elementary school, but quite grown-up inside. The rare occasions when she smiles are very cute. Since she's paired with Mystic, I made sure she wouldn't look out-of-place standing next to him. (Katsumata)
​
[Techie Detective]
Writer's Comment:
I made the most requests for this design. It's nice having a young boy in a wheelchair for a character. The lab coat and tights are perfect. I've noticed that characters in wheelchairs either die or are the culprit in many mysteries, and wanted to subvert this trope. His presence is meant to mislead the player. (Jobana)
Designer's Comment:
Jobana-san had a lot of requests for this character. Techie's a cute little boy, but he's quite put together, so he has a rich range of expressions, from sharp and smart to pouting and sulky. I'm sure he'll grow up to be a handsome, sophisticated young man. (Katsumata)
​
[Downtown Detective]
Writer's Comment:
I arrived at "Downtown"* by plugging in any word I could think of before "Detective". From there, I continued to work on her character concept with the mention of making her the "true" heroine, and as a result, she ended up killing someone right away. She decided the direction of the game in more ways than one. (Jobana)
*(Originally "Shibuya" in Japanese)
Designer's Comment:
I struggled with whether or not to put her in a school uniform until the last minute. Her friend had been killed, so I didn't want her to be too childlike. Instead, I settled on a fairly eclectic design that allowed Downtown's personality to show. (Katsumata)
​
[Rowdy Detective]
Writer's Comment:
Her strength of spirit is what ends up killing her. Normally, those heroic qualities would see through her safely, but this isn't that kind of game. Losing Rowdy and Downtown changed the feel of the dialogue dramatically, and I felt that loss when writing scenes. (Jobana)
Designer's Comment:
I personally really like her. She has a nice silhouette... but what's up with that ponytail? Lol. She often appears with Gourmet, so her design is spikier to contrast Gourmet's softness. (Katsumata)
​
[Armor Detective]
Writer's Comment:
Armor is the rare case of a character's appearance and personality not changing at all from the initial draft. He's there as a red-herring character, but I made him too stupid... He became a livelier character for it, though. Even now, I'm sure he's off somewhere fighting whoever is behind that transcendental armor case. (Jobana)
Designer's Comment:
I intended him to look cool, but his words and actions made him cuter than I expected, lol. He's a little tricky to draw, but I'm pretty happy with the design. Just where is that fluffy mane attached? (Katsumata)
​
[Senior Detective]
Writer's Comment:
The ringleader, in a sense. He goes out of his way to deceive Wato and stuff him in a locker because, at his core, he's just that nasty. Senior Detective is a good example of how age and "seniority" alone doesn't make you a good person. (Jobana)
Designer's Comment:
Once the mustache was decided on, the rest of the design followed. He's elderly, but I wanted to give him a mischievous quality. Like, what's with his coat collar...? I've never seen an old man with a popped collar like that. He just oozes confidence. (Katsumata)

HELP! Tonight I was in the Menu of my Canon T7 and erased the SD card. I was trying to connect it to my phone (to see if I could tether which I never did) and now I have no display, no ability to take pictures. Almost like it is dead, but I can see the metering display in the eye piece. There is no back display. Battery is fully charged.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Unfortunately it is out of warrant by about 1 year. The thing is, I have barely used this camera. Thanks for any advice.

I’m currently in a hole of shame, anxiety, dread and fear. Fear of what exactly I don’t know but another ‘incident’ happened again where I lost my shit and I am deeply ashamed.
Has anyone else noticed that their anger can often lead them into trouble? Even if said anger was not the direct cause of the eventual trouble and there were other factors, your reaction triggers some already not-so-nice-people into reacting back and in my case last night, I think illegally. But though I can outwardly place blame elsewhere for what happened, ultimately I know what caused it and it was me.
My friend and I were at a baclub we’d never been before and it turned out to be one of those chi-chi places where you can buy bottles for the table and there was a VIP area - not our bag at all but there we were. We stood front and centre at the bar for 15 minutes where the chiselled, model-esque bartenders continually ignored us and served their friends who were coming up to the bar and ordering drinks over us. Then another guy came up to the bar and was immediately asked what he wanted to order. He pointed to me and my friend and said ‘these ladies were here before me’, whereby the female bartender looked me and my friend up and down and then went to serve on the other end of the bar.
That did it.
I should point out that my friend and I were the only non-Caucasian people in the entire club, and having had bad experiences before in this new city/country I’ve moved to from the UK where it’s super integrated, I lost my shit. Even after one of the bartenders who’d initially ignored us saw what happened and came to serve us, I couldn’t switch off.
I was told to calm down by the bartender as she was making the drinks but I didn’t stop. There was a literal 6ft 5 Abercrombie jock washing glasses behind the bar who then thought it’d be a good idea to mimic me and wave his hand in my face in a yapping motion, like blah blah blah.
I lost it even more and said something questioning his sexuality, which was totally out of order. But when I’m in one of these rages nothing can stop me and I turn into a Jekyll and Hyde type - anything can come out of my mouth so long as it’s to hurt and destruct. I knew I was getting myself into trouble but the sense of unfairness and anger just overwhelmed me.
The giant slammed a glass down and left the bar, i thought to speak to the bouncer. My friend and I carried on ordering at the bar when I suddenly felt myself being dragged from behind. I immediately grabbed onto the bar but was being dragged with full force and then carried out of the bar by the giant.
Being a 5ft 5 female and of a slight build I was absolutely terrified to be grabbed and hauled out without any warning by this huge bloke. People around me were gasping and even the bouncer outside was shocked asking me what happened. He was very nice about it and, I feel, somewhat afraid of what had happened.
Although I was outraged and deeply shaken, I’ve developed this weird reaction to the aftermath of when I’ve lost my temper. No matter what has happened and despite the fact that I was raging a second ago, I then just shutdown and am beyond exhausted.
Now I don’t know what to do. Part of me wants to contact the club and report what happened, if only to stop that monster from ever doing the same again. I’ve never seen or experienced anything like it before. However I also know the role I played in it and feel deeply ashamed, not wanting to revisit the scene again.
Has anyone been in a similar situation before, where their rage and anger has worsened an already bad situation and things just spiral out of control?

Hola a todos, ojalá puedan ayudarme con algo de orientación porque no sé qué puedo hacer en esta situación.
Tengo un familiar cercano que lleva muchos años sin trabajar ni estudiar, ciertamente ya no es un hombre joven y es padre de un adolescente, pero ni aún así ha querido buscar un trabajo estable o emprender en algo seriamente. Odia la idea de tener un jefe, está convencidísimo de que ganará dinero con páginas de internet, y lleva así yo diría que más de 20 años.
Además de esto, claramente tiene sentimientos de ser insuficiente, medio depresivo, de que las cosas le salen mal, etc.
Como familia hemos tratado de ayudarlo en todo lo posible, pero tampoco somos una familia adinerada que pueda mantenerlo, y cada vez se hace más complicado cuando no tiene ni para pagar el arriendo, o pasa días sin comer.
Lo terrible de esto es que es super talentoso, creativo, inteligente, pero se cree que las sabe todas y no acepta ayuda de cómo llevar bien un negocio, orientación empresarial, algún curso o lo que sea realmente que lo ayude a tener un mejor pasar. Tampoco tiene la constancia para aguantarse un tiempo en un trabajo aburrido hasta lograr sus metas e ir mejorando la situación paso a paso.
Claramente necesita un psicólogo urgente, que lo ayude a sacarse el millón de trabas que tiene en su cabeza, más aún ahora que ya está pensando que realmente está de sobra en este mundo, algo que me tiene super preocupada.
Pero cada vez que le hemos mencionado que vaya a psicólogo se enoja, que no lo necesita, etc.
¿Cómo podríamos hacer una intervención o algo así para que él acepte ir a psicólogo? ¿Alguien más ha pasado por lo mismo? Me rompe el corazón ver cómo va destruyendo su vida teniendo todas las herramientas a su alcance.
Desde ya muchas gracias a todos por sus respuestas...

I may be confusing two books here, but I remember a book about a young girl who attended an all-girls boarding school (or maybe it was an orphanage?) in a fictional town with a very British-sounding name. Maybe an "Avon-on-sea" style name, as the town may have been on the coast.
The cover was mainly tan/recycled paper, with the bottom half being a simplistic drawing of the girl (and maybe her teacheguardian?) standing on a stone path, the kind that overlooks docks/piers. The title of the book was the name of the town.
In the book, I think the girl was unhappy at her school and ran away. I don't remember if she intended to join the circus people, but they may have kidnapped her and forced her to work. The circus performers were definitely sinister, if not outright creepy. She ended up having to sneak out and escape, perhaps hiding behind/in boxes in the ringmaster's tent in order to get away. Her teacheguardian came looking for her and maybe brought her back? And in the end I think she got back safely. She may have had a friend (a young boy?) along with her.
The book didn't seem like it was set in a specific time period, it was more "timeless", and I don't know if the setting was actually Britain. It just seemed British. Also, I don't think there was any actual magic, just a bit of weirdness.
Any ideas/suggestions are much appreciated!
EDIT: whoops, mixed up fiction and nonfiction in the title. the book I'm remembering is 100% fiction.

I need advice // [email protected] beauty lead advisor
Hey everyone So im a beauty lead advisor at Sephora @ kohls and my store opens next Monday June 12. It’s been a tough first few weeks and im very frustrated with how some part timers are treating me. I came from working at another beauty retailer and I have a lot of knowledge about products, how things should be overstocked, displays etc. My BTL came from kohls and has been with the company 14 years. All the other part timers aren’t very familiar with Sephora and products in general. Or beauty insider or how b day rewards work at Sephora.
However im constantly under minded when I answer a question they have or do something as simple as restock the stations with q tips, sponges, spoolies etc. It’s ridiculous. Everytime I give a suggestion it gets knocked down immediately. My BTL is sometimes super nice or really rude. She always uses a rude tone or gets bothered when I ask how to do something. And it’s just to me! She doesn’t treat others this way. I’ve brought up to my Store manager a few incidents with a part timer trying to boss everyone around and do my job and I even told her “what is a beauty lead advisor” and she confirmed to me what I thought which is be my BTL’s right hand and her assistant but I’m not treated this way. And my SM told me she would tell the BTL to have a meeting to explain everyone’s roles and what each position means and that still hasn’t happened…
It’s so bad as it is not being open yet, I don’t want to imagine how toxic it’ll be once open. Since I’m the only one treated this way, I’m thinking of having a meeting with my BTL and SM about my concerns. My BTL also undermines me and doesn’t take any of my suggestions and says “we don’t need to do that so no” and I’m like mid sentence. It’s so frustrating because I waited months for this job, I’m so dedicated and I’m nice to everyone. I’ve done nothing but treat everyone with respect and try to get to help my team with ideas since I have a beauty background and they don’t. I don’t think of myself better than them or anything! I just want us all to succeed and bring up good ideas to make things easier . It makes me sad to feel the way I do in such little time working here. Literally cried in my car after my shift today. I’m a leader, I shouldn’t be disrespected by my colleagues and it shouldn’t feel like HS all over again. *I don’t want to give out certain instances or detailed examples incase I need to report any of this to HR in the future.

By Completed I mean a character who is more than an idea, it has backstory, goals and a design already. But also, like many OCs, its still Open for changes.
I wanted something who is mechanically simple, no fancy guimmicks, no multiclassing shenanigans, just baseline class and focus primarely on the Roleplaying side and how that informs the gameplay.
Core Idea: Deathdrinker Fanatic
Here she is:
You may not like it but this is what Peak performance looks like
Full CHaracter Sheet if interested: https://ddb.ac/characters/101702761/4On0Sd
Name: Meronoi (Last name pending)
Race: Mountain Dwarf
Class: Oathbreaker Paladin
Alignment: Lawful Evil
LORE basics

• Born in a family of Paladins, she took the Oaths and teachings but was always more interested In the fighting than anything
• Curious about the undead and the idea of immortality
• One of the few survivors of a Death Drinker attack, amazed at the creature’s display of power she confirmed her goal to one day be strong enough to join this creature in combat.
• Since most of the army died or ran away she took the chance to escape and make a new life.
• Joins the party seeking for more knowledge to further her goals

​
Other Character details

• Follows her own twisted Chivalry code (thats why she is Lawful)
• She prefers to fight, not slaughter. Willing to let weakeInnocents go since they usually don't pose a proper challenge. (She doesn't care about collateral though)
• Wants to learn more about the Undead, to find a way to become one while keeping her sentience and free will. So she can bask in the Deathdrinker’s death Aura
• Despite her merciless fighting style she maintains a chivalrous and cheerful demeanor
• While not one to start a fight without good reason she is always open to prove her skills.
• Really likes salty food
• Decent mason, often makes tiny wood carved visages of the Deathdrinker during rests to share with teammates, as a good luck charm

​
This is What i got so far
Looking for tips and suggestions on anything about her, her appearance, backstory or even her passion for the Deathdrinker.
One tip i am interrested in is looking through Paladin groups or gods they usually follow, would be cool to write more on her previous Temple so maybe a few of their members may appear down the line, could they recognize her? would she seek them out to silence them or avoid them?
Could open some cool in game story moments.

Hey everyone So im a beauty lead advisor at Sephora @ kohls and my store opens next Monday June 12. It’s been a tough first few weeks and im very frustrated with how some part timers are treating me.

If my memory is correct, Karl Fredericks is the last real-deal professional wrestler to have joined WWE. And even then, he is the only one in a homogenous sea of collegiate athletes. I do not know if the recent talent freeze had something to do with it, but shunning veteran wrestlers is a bad idea. You need to snap up ring generals to get the best out of the rookies, but by grabbing more rookies instead, you will end up with a case of the blind leading the blind.
Just my two cents dropped in there. What do you think? Sound off below!
