2023.05.31 17:16 theborah93 Defrauded by a car "dealer" in Birmingham

Hi everyone, so I already posted a couple of days ago but since then I have gotten some new information and so decided to post again in a more detailed way maybe someone can help me.
On the 5th of March in the morning I enquired about a listing on autotrader posted by a trader called “James Cars”. He called me around 12pm that day. The car was a 2017 Suzuki Ignis and it had 120k miles and priced at GBP4995. I had been shopping around for a while so I knew that the low price was because of the mileage. I was concerned about the mileage obviously because that is the first thing that you look out for in a car. When he called me and I voiced my worries he assured me that these were motorway miles implying that any wear and tear would be less than if the car was used for short distances regularly. He assured me that the only issue that the car had was the stereo which had a broken screen and that he could fix free delivery for me in Haydon Bridge from Birmingham. I agreed and gave him a 1000GBP deposit on the 5th of March and on the 6th of March I sent him 4000GBP.
On the 8th of March the car arrived and as soon as I started it it stalled. I called him and he assured me that the issue might be from the battery because the driver might have left it switched on. We charged it and all was fine.
On the 12th of March the check engine light came on. It took a while to diagnose as the mechanic told me that it could be a variety of problems. He even suggested I go to another mechanic in Hexham who might be more suited to deal with Suzuki engine issues. This took until April 28th to diagnose. The mechanic told me that the cambelt and the sensors are busted and that it would cost me around 1.3k to fix. I would like to point out that everytime we went to the mechanic, he reset the system and the check engine light went off and came back on again after about 60 miles, which is the distance we had driven it before it came on in the first place. So I suspect that the guy reset it so it wasn’t on when I drove it.
After this diagnosis we decided to get in touch with the seller, so we messaged him. When he didn’t reply we tried calling but his phone is always switched off. He has even deregistered his number on whatsapp.
I then remebered that I had transferred the money to a certain “Simon Cars”. We contacted a Simon Harrison Cars that we found in the area and he told us that he was not the person who sold us the car but he knows that a Pakistani national is posing as different dealerships in the West Bromwich areas, in order to gain people’s trust as an English family company. He has been also known to operate under “Stuart cars”.
We gave him a call on the phone number listed on the “Simon Cars” trading profile on autotrader, telling him that we know what he is up to and that we expect him to reimburse us for the car and any work we had done on it so far. He seemed really surprised but never denied anything. We told him that we will go to the police and he said to message him the registration number and he never replied back.
We have submitted a report to Action Fraud, and I have spoken to my bank. We are still waiting to hear back on the report but my bank said there is nothing that they can do.
I really hope someone can help me, maybe someone has been through something similar and can suggest what I can do. I know this might not seem like a lot of money but it is money that we worked hard for and for it to be taken away like this seems really unjust. We only arrived in the UK last September (after a very gruelling visa process) and we were so happy to be here finally, but this experience has really made me anxious.

2023.05.31 17:15 sklanders43 Just A Message i wanted to write cause i feel like someone needs to say this

To the next gen of teenagers and to anyone struggling, your going to be fine. Struggle is a part of life. Don't do things you don't want to do to fit in, don't do stupid things offline or online without thinking. Don't do things underaged Vaping, Drinking, Weed. Don't. Don't change your whole personality to fit in don't give up on the things you like to fit in. Don't push people away. Don't Push your agenda on others. We as teenagers feel like this is the most important time of our life except it isn't we have so many years ahead of us but in the news recently on different platforms i hear of young people dying i hear of them getting in trouble and doing stupid things i hear of us doing things we shouldn't doing things that aren't right. I see on people's social media stories of them vaping or them throwing messy parties while drinking. All of them putting on a mask of who they are to seem like the others to fit in. some kid on discord started to message me threatening to doxx a friend of mine saying if he wasn't unbanned from a server he'd do all these things. He then stated that it was all just a joke and that he wasn't actually going to do it this was not right you shouldn't be threatening to do something then just pass it off as a joke. This generation is broken we've been raised by social media to all put on masks and to believe things and are persuaded to one side or the other we're afraid of being judged. Depression rates have only gone up, which is why these "mentors" are so popular they use those who are depressed and manipulate them to get money and clout they're false prophets, Suicide rates in males have also gone up and with streaming becoming increasingly more popular more parasocial relationships are bring made and stan culture being created people doxxing others and threatening others. This generation is in chaos and if we don't start doing things the next generations will either be influenced by us and cause worse or have to clean up after us and as much as i hate children i don't think that's right we need to fix this generation. if you see someone that looks down go talk to them, go talk to the loner kid at your school. if you have anxiety or depression or are just introverted i know how hard it is to talk to people im an introvert myself but go talk to someone you'll feel great wether it be a teacher or a fellow student just talk. Go hug your parents they've struggled and if you have younger siblings talk to them they look up to you, and overall just be a good person you see someone about to do something stupid do something please if we keep normalizing this behavior we're practically doomed. Do what's right do what you want to do and not dictated by others cut all those toxic people out of your life and just be yourself. In conclusion, be good people

2023.05.31 17:15 LowDrag_82 CSR being untruthful

Need to order a tv that’s going out of stock pretty much everywhere but going to be out of town when it delivers, so wanted to ship it to store, but it will arrive a week before I return from a out of state trip. I called customer service and they explicitly said “oh yes you can select the pick up day you want”.
So when I went to order it, there is no way to select a different pick up date. Thanks guy.

2023.05.31 17:15 AutoModerator RepWeidianSneakers Member Guide and Rulebook: Read Upon Arrival and Before Posting!

Hello, and welcome to RepWeidianSneakers! Whether you’re a long-time member or someone new who just straggled in from one of the other replica subreddits, this recurring post will serve as an introduction to or reminder of the subreddit rules. This group runs in several key ways that may be different from other groups to ensure we maintain a high-quality group where well-informed replica buyers can engage in constructive conversation regarding the best batches for various shoes, batch flaws of popular and commonly purchased batches, and QC posts of new and old products alike.
Please do your best to stay up-to-date on the latest subreddit rules and cultural norms in order to make sure that your participation in the group is in accordance with how we run things here! All sub rules are visible along the side bar if on desktop, and under the "About" tab if on mobile. We appreciate your attention and diligence to subreddit policies, and hope you enjoy your time here!
The following rules will be outlined in the following ways:
  1. Most Important Rule of the Sub
  2. Post Formats (QC, Find, Help Me Find)
  3. General Subreddit/Reddit-Wide Rules
Rule #1: Sneakers from Weidian, TaoBao only
This one should be self-explanatory - QCs for shoes purchased from middlemen are not allowed on this sub. I understand that many users value the input from members in this subreddit specifically due to their reputation and credibility, but we want to keep this sub as pure to its purpose as possible. If there are specific people from whom you want input from, feel free to post in the other rep subs and tag them.
Additionally, when users ask for recommendations on where to purchase, make sure to provide links to Weidian or TaoBao stores, and not middlemen. Middlemen sell Weidian/TaoBao products at a markup for convenience - always focus on the actual product.
Rule #2: QC Post Title Guidelines: [QC] {Price in Yuan} {Batch} {Shoe Name} from {Seller Name}
When posting your QCs or Finds, use the following format: [QC] {Price in Yuan} {Batch} {Shoe Name} from {Seller Name}. Example: [QC] 400¥ FK Batch Travis Scott x Jordan 1 High OG Mocha from A GDJ Supplier
The Group Automod comments on every single post in this group with a reminder of this title format. If your title does not include each of the necessary components in the brackets above, please be proactive and repost with the correct format. If you don’t delete the post, a moderator will, and that or repeated infractions may result in a temporary ban from the group. This rule exists to ensure the group is easily searchable to help make researching batches on your own as streamlined as possible.
Rule #3: QC Posts need W2C Link:
If you are posting a QC, make sure to post the W2C link. If the listing link is dead, please post the link to the store where the shoe was purchased instead. No W2C link will result in the deletion of your post!
You are welcome to post Weidian links, TaoBao links, or links from any shipping agent except for PandaBuy, given that PandaBuy forces you to login to see the item, whereas the other agent links do not. Linking a PandaBuy link and not an alternative link will result in the deletion of your post.
Rule #4: Help Me Find Post Title Guidelines: [HELP ME FIND] {Shoe Name} + Picture of Shoe
If you are hunting for a certain pair, your post title must include the Full Shoe Name and Colorway as well as a picture of the shoe in question. If either is missing, your post will be deleted. This rule exists to reduce the number of repetitive “Help Me Find” posts, as a user will be able to search previously posted “Help Me Find” posts for the shoe they want.
Example: [HELP ME FIND] Jordan 1 High Chicago
Rule #5: Find Post Title Guidelines: [FIND] {Price in Yuan} {Batch} {Shoe Name} from {Seller Name}
Okay, so you’re on WeChat, and a seller has posted a new product. You want to be the first one to post about it on Reddit, so you rush over and make the post. Great, pat yourself on the back. Just kidding. Don’t just stop there - put some thought into the post. How does this new find compare to other products on the market? Do they have potential? You don’t have to be an expert QCer, but give your general thoughts. In short, were these worth finding? The hope is that with this general subreddit policy, it will encourage people to post high-quality finds and reduce clutter from low-tier finds that don’t add much to the group.
Rule #6: Be Respectful of One Another
Please be nice and courteous to one another. All rules of Reddiquette apply. Your membership in this subreddit is contingent upon your overall Reddit activity, not just limited to this subreddit. To put explicitly, this includes but is not limited to: harassing or disrespecting others in other subreddits, posting hate speech of any kind, or spreading misinformation. Any violation of this will result in the banning of your account and any alternate accounts you may be known to have!
Rule #7: No Cussing
In line with the previous rule, no cussing on the sub, please. Often, on the rep subs, the only time people are cussing is to insult one another, spread misinformation, or speak illy in general. For this reason, an AutoMod is in place that will regulate posts and comments on the sub. Your post/comment will be deleted and you will receive a message alerting you if this happens. Bonus: Mr. Frosty can't post or comment without some sort of explicit language, so this simple rule (and the accompanying AutoMod) keeps the sub safe
Rule #8: Support Your Statements with Evidence
Essentially, cite your source. Let's avoid being like other rep subs where people make up rumors or decide their opinions without any research or evidence.
If you comment saying a batch is the best or better than what has been posted, show us why. Link reference posts, rep vs retails, QCs, etc. Show, rather than tell, us why what you're saying is correct. If your statement is a good one, this shouldn't be difficult. As above, don't default to name calling if you can't support your statement. It is okay to have a well-informed opinion - it is not okay to have an uneducated opinion that you spread as fact.
If you run into issues with a member or members in the group that are not participating in this group norm, please tag a mod, and the situation will be handled accordingly.
Rule #9: No Seller Ads
Self-explanatory. This especially applies to lost middlemen posting their fake QCs to try to gain business. If you are a member and see this, please report the post. If a post receives enough reports, it is automatically removed and sent to the mod queue. This helps keep the group clean through community effort.
Rule #10: No WeChat Verification Posts
I understand that you may want your WeChat verified in order to communicate with sellers or see their WeChat Moments. There are other subs for WeChat Verifications though. Please do not make these posts here. Use the appropriate subs. Posts will be deleted.
Rule #11: No Memes
This group aims to be a research-focused subreddit. It prides itself on providing the most objective information possible. Please keep the memes or satire posts in other subs. This includes meme titles or captions such as "how fast do I need to walk" or "fire up the rep machines." These posts add little to no value and are often unoriginal anyway.
Any use of meme titles will result in a 14-day temp ban as previously announced, as will repeated infractions of posting other memes.
Lastly, this Group is Not Meant to Be a Direct Line to u/poncecatchemall
Please reference his guides and resources linked below for answers to most commonly asked questions. He does not read chats asking repetitive questions, and mod mail is not meant to be used to ask specifically him questions, so do not use it for that purpose.
- Poncecatchemall’s Recently Updated Beginner’s Batch Guide where I cover top batches for popular shoes.
- Poncecatchemall’s Select Weidian/TaoBao Finds: November 2022 Edition covering popular purchases with all W2C Links
- Never used an agent? Check out Poncecatchemall’s Updated Weidian, TaoBao, Agent: How-To Guide for a step-by-step guide on how to purchase reps using WeGoBuy
- How to Ask Poncecatchemall For a QC/LC please follow these instructions if you want a response.

Thank you in advance to everyone for following the sub rules and for keeping this sub a great, high-quality sub to be a part of. If there are any rule addition recommendations, we are always open to suggestions.

2023.05.31 17:15 Hot-Relief7151 My idea for Gwen 10

(Re-posting from an old comment I made, this is not intended to be BWEN just an hypothetical future for Gwen10 and how I think it could be made better.)
Let’s say they don’t reduce the first episode.
Off the top of my head let’s say they redid The alliance episode 9.
It would start off with a scene showing that since Gwen has gotten the Omintrix she has gotten more and more rebellious/a general dick, Ben has felt more and more useless since he is always getting saved by Gwen so he grows more passive and quiet, I imagine with a more ‘Ben like’ Gwen she starts to bully Ben.
In the first scene we’re in the pov of Ben and he wakes up to see Stinkfly (Gwen might not even name them but for the sake of simplicity I’ll just call them by their Ben names) causing him to fall off the bed. Grandpa Max tries to rep-remind Gwen as she’s rolling on the floor laughing but Ben tells Max to stop knowing that there was no point.
Grandpa Max has tried making their relationship better but nothing seams to work, it even starts to look like Ben is getting more and more apathetic to Gwen’s bullying. They stop by the gas station, but with Gwen still as Stinkfly she stays inside until she times-out. Ben and Max are attacked by Rojo and her gang, Gwen flys out saving both Ben and Max from falling ruble giving a sarcastic comment to Ben as she does so (“need me to save you again dweeb”). Gwen flys in shooting goo all over the place, not noticing that she almost hits a police officer. The gang try to hit the flying bug but she’s just too fast, this whole time Gwen is mocking their aim and their outfits.
But then the drones show up almost hitting Rojos other members who then run saying they didn’t sign up for this, Gwen sticks the drones to the gas’s station and lands in front of Rojo covering the gun with a well placed goo shot and starts laughing at Rojo not noticing the Omintrix flashing red. Gwen times out in front of Rojo.
Rojo proceeds to back hand Gwen sending her a few feet away, Rojo drops her gun and starts to walk over to Gwen intending to beat her. But Ben tackles Rojo to the ground yelling at Gwen to run. Rojo isn’t hurt but is pissed,. She picks up Ben by the neack and prepares to beat him. Unbeknownst to both of them one of the drones are still active and one is able to fire it’s gun. It dosent hit anyone but it does hit Stinkfly’s goo. The goo explodes destroying the gas station and like dominos explodes Rojo’s nearby gun. Both Ben and Rojo are caught in the explosion, Rojo acting like a shield to Ben but he is still hurt badly with the left side of him looking the worst. Grandpa Max quickly grabs Ben body with Gwen freaking out over Ben’s unconscious body. They make it to the hospital but the Doctor informs them that Ben is in critical condition and they are unsure if he’ll wake up.
Gwen’s reaction is worrying to Grandpa Max, since they got the diagnosis Gwen hasn’t said a word, she didn’t even shed a tear. Gwen looked like she just wasn’t there, she stared into the wall oblivious to the world around her. In Gwen’s mind it was her fault Ben got hurt, the Stinkfly goo that Gwen spit out was the cause of the explosion. This is a come to Jesus moment for her where she realizes that she has done nothing but bully Ben since she got the Omintrix. Sure she has saved some people with it but she abused the people around her. Grandpa Max does his best to comfort her but Gwen didn’t respond.
The doctors come back and say that Ben is about to under go surgery and they should say something to him, Grandpa Max grabs Gwen’s hand to lead her in but she let go. She was scared, scared that Bean was going to die, scared that Ben would hate her, scared that it was really ‘her fault’. In a flash of light and a gust of wind Gwen disappeared.
Gwen gets attacked as XLR8 by a roboticized Rojo, Gwen looked at the imposing figure, painted with red skin and a sadistc smile. All Gwen saw was the person who held her cousin. With no remorse or restraint Gwen started to beat Rojo, sending kicks, claw swipes, and tail bashes at her without stop. Rojo could do nothing as Gwen held nothing back, all the sadness and self hate she tried to push down was being thrown at Rojo with unrelenting force. Trying to distract Gwen, Rojo she fires a blast at the cliff side sending rocks down to the hospital. Gwen only stops her assault when she saw the rocks were going for the hospital, Gwen quickly created a tornado stoping the rocks but letting Rojo get away.
Ashamed Gwen dosent go back to the hospital, not wanting to know what happened to Ben until she killed Rojo, the person she now blames in an attempt to stop the guilt she felt crawling down her back.
Gwen overhears a report about Rojo attacking a police station and immediately gets into action. Jumping onto Rojo as Fourarms she throws cars, trees, even a statue at Rojo. Rojo leads Gwen into a trap she set earlier with technology Vilgax gave her Rojo forcibly times out Gwen. Gwen tries to activate the watch but Rojo restrains her and starts the process to take off her arm. But Grandpa Max comes in careering Ben fires a gun similar to the one Rojo had at the start of the episode. They had seen a news report of the fight and figured out that was where they were going to be. Ben was in a hospital gown, bandages covering the left side of his body obscuring his left eye.
With all her strength she stops herself from looking at Ben and ransforms into Heatblast with the leftover energy from she Omintrix, Rojo whose technology upgrades we’re now falling off her body, Gwen walked forward with the clear intention to burn Rojo the same way Ben was burned. Ben stumbled forward still being held up by Grandpa Max called for her to stop. Gwen was scared once again, but Ben hugged her. He said it wasn’t her fault and that he didn’t blame her, he said he was sorry.
Gwen drops Rojo and repeats his words. sorry? what did Ben need to be sorry for? It was her who hurt him it was her who almost killed him! It was her fault! She needed to be BLAMED! She was sorry so very sorry. Gwen detransformed and broke down crying and Ben hugged her, she only managed to call out I’m sorry through her tears.

2023.05.31 17:14 Nuclear_Beaver I might cancel my RV Rental from LA - in case you need one.

Hi there!
I wish I had not to post this - again - but here we go.
I currently hold a RV rental from El Monte - "Los Angeles EM" location - from Aug 26 to Sep 05. This is for a "Class C Medium" RV. I will most probably be canceling that reservation in the coming weeks due to the fact I will not be able to come.
If anyone is interested, hit me up! If I can't transfer that reservation (I need to read the T&Cs), I'll sync with you so you can book it right after I cancel it and make that RV available to rental. I'll defo call them and see if that can be transfered so you can benefit from my Feb23 rates ($436/day).

Back story: my mother and I were supposed to come last year (first time for her!) but we had to cancel one day prior to flying in (France here) due to my father getting terminally ill. We planned on coming back this year to celebrate his life on the playa, but we haven't found tickets yet so I guess it's better to pass and stop overthinking it. I know playa always provides, but I don't have the opportunity to invest myself in any of the BM communities, and because we fly from afar we can't wait really wait till August and leave on short notice.
One man's loss is another man's fortune so if you were looking for a RV rental, I'll be more than happy to try hooking you up with ours!

2023.05.31 17:14 Kods_For_Toads This is now books may have saved my life

I know this may sound stupid or silly, but seriously! When I has a child I hated reading, I always thought I’d be an artist because of how much I loved to draw, so I never payed attention during class, which caused my mother to take me to the doctors to see if I had some kind of reading disorder, and it came back as I had ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) and Dyslexia. Even then I still didn’t give to fucking shits about school, and only got a little better when my mother put me on pills to help me focus. I got better at school, and whatever, still hated reading. By the 5th grade, I still couldn’t read a 2nd grade chapter book, and I started to look down on myself as my grades started to go down again. This was also around the time of when Covid hit and me and my twin sister were home schooled. Keep in mind she was a lot better then me when it came to school, all A‘s and B’s. But my school never blocked YouTube on the school computers that went with students so they could be home schooled, which resultEd in me constantly watching YouTube instead of paying attention in class. That’s when the series “warrior cats” became popular, and I was hesitant to start reading it. (I should mention I was in a RTI class, and or reading connect to help students read, and I have never really picked up a book in my life. I had just moved schools at this point and aphid failed the fifth grade, but they let me go to 6th) I got to impatient to wait for the short animation videos on it to come out, and that’s when my friend, for the sake of this I’ll call heather got into warrior cats and started to read it. She encouraged she to start reading so we could read together at times, and then when I did Start reading, it blew my mind! I started to read more and more, and ended up finishing all 6 series, plus the super editions and dawn of clans all in a manner of half the school year. In effect, my grades got higher, my attention was now on school, and I could read better now. More clearly, and now I’d even finish harry potter books within a day if you’d let me. I started to read, and now that I’m in 7th grade, (after then summer I’ll be in 8th) I feel confident and now I’m even writing poems and my own books!.

2023.05.31 17:13 Quirky_Quail_157 A break? I’m confused.. 🤧

Well I have a boyfriend.. have or had idek this shit confuses me. And the other day he texted me some huge paragraph about him thinking we should take a break and one thing that really bothered me in that message is “I would be lying to myself if I said I love you” but the confusing thing is the day after he asked for this break he told me he still loved me but less, apparently he’s just stressed out and we keep getting in arguments. But the only reason we argue so much is because he lied to me once about going to a party. It’s not that I’m insecure and stuff I trust him enough not to go with other women behind my back it’s just that we planned to meet that day and he ditched me to go to a party. He didn’t invite me and at first lied about it being a conformation dinner. Then said it was his friend’s birthday which I knew his friend’s birthday wasn’t at that date it was in august. But recently for the past 2 weeks our relationship has been really bumpy I know it’s partially my fault but if he never lied to me about a party I don’t think my trust would have been as stunted as it has been. He’s going to see me tomorrow and I don’t know how to tell him how this is effecting me negatively. I love him so much and I’m so worried and anxious that I’ll lose him over this break because it feels like he’s doing so much better with out me. I just wish I could fix things to me he was my person. My friends say there are other fish in the sea and other guys who’d love to date me but the thing is I don’t care about other men. I don’t care about anything it’s like the thought of another man disgusts me. I only want him. But although this is a break he still messages me and snaps me and calls me which I think is a real big mind fuck for me because if he claims to still love me then why put me in this state of mind.

Daily Spurgeon Devotion Wednesday, May 31st 2023

05/31/2023

Everyday Verse

James 5:16
ESV
  • Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.
  • AMP Therefore, confess your sins to one another [your false steps, your offenses], and pray for one another, that you may be healed and restored. The heartfelt and persistent prayer of a righteous man (believer) can accomplish much [when put into action and made effective by God—it is dynamic and can have tremendous power].
CSB
  • Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is very powerful in its effect.
KJV
  • Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
NLT
  • Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.

What does James 5:16 mean?

James continues encouraging his readers to express their dependence on God. This is done by participating in prayer. In previous verses, he has asked them to respond to trouble by praying to God, to respond to cheerfulness by singing songs of praise, and to respond to illness or spiritual weakness by calling for elders of the church pray for them. Here in verse 16, James writes that it should be common practice for Christians to confess our sins to each other and to pray for each other, so that we may be healed. As in the previous verses, some Bible scholars read the word "healed" here as a reference to healing from physical illness. Others understand it to mean healing from discouragement and spiritual weakness. In either case, this healing requires two things from Christians.
We are both to confess our sins to each other, and to pray for each other. James offers no details about what this should look like in practice. Are we to stand before the church congregation and announce all our sins from the prior week? That seems unlikely. More likely, James has in mind the idea of Christians being in close relationship with several other Christians. We need fellow believers with whom we can be vulnerable. In that setting, each could acknowledge to the other what sins are most difficult for them, and all could pray for each other to overcome those sins. It seems likely, in the modern world, that very few Christians are practicing this in any specific way. We're just too afraid to be that vulnerable. James's command is for us, as much as it's for his original readers. The church would be far healthier if more of us prayed for each other, in family love, to overcome our specific sins. After all, James writes, prayer works. God listens and responds. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective because God hears and takes action.

Today's Quote

John Newton
"How unspeakably wonderful it is to know that all of our concerns are held in those hands that bled for us."

Spurgeon's Daily Help

Prayer must not be our chance work, but our daily business, our habit, and vocation. As artist give themselves to their models, and poets to their classical pursuits, so must we addict ourselves to prayer. We must be immersed in prayer as in our element, and so pray without ceasing. Lord teach us so to pray that we may be more prevalent in supplication.
The common fault with the most of us is our readiness to yield to distractions. Our thoughts go roving hither and thither, and we make little progress toward our desired end. Like quicksilver, our mind will not hold together, but rolls off this way and that. How great an evil this is! it injures us, and, what is worse, it insults our God.

The Spurgeon Birthday Book

See how a babe trust its mother; even so must we trust in Jesus. Mark how the spider drops from the ceiling and rise again by an invisible thread, so must we hang by faith upon what Christ has done, and rise to Heaven thereby. As the mariner relies upon his compass, whose mystery he cannot solve, and the voyager in a balloon depends on a gas he cannot see, so must we trust in him whom having not seen we love.

Daily Spurgeon Quote

Charles H. Spurgeon
"I have need for a great Christ. I have a great Christ for my need.

2023.05.31 17:13 Zealousideal-Ad-6039 Crystal raid best strategys/ Crystal raid guide

Also want to know your races and strategys you use in Crystal Raids.
Also Crystal Raid guide I guess?
Currently I have three anti-boss cacs with specific niches they fill if anybody cares to read.
A Majin with hmhmhm equipped with secret poison and super guard, and taunt with (PU) or alternatively : (Purification or PU, purification allows you to have offensive capability) with kami nor piccolo ss , frost poison ult, and the KI Regen glitch (if you know you know) along with super guard (this is my scummiest one, it's genuinely just to waste a boss's time, especially if know they are a toxic player)
A male human (PU or Beast) (I'm finally warmed up now SS) with secret poison, angry hit (it does a huge chunk of damage when you stamina break them, it endlessly juggles) and pearl flash along with super guard and Instant Servance (punishes people with healing moves)
And lastly a Frieza clan member (Golden) (don't go all out SS/ The real hell begins here SS/ HAAAAA SS)
mainstay moves are consecutive energy blast (it can be spammed against healers) super guard, and audacious laugh/super destructo disc (this thing hits like a truck)
Emperors death beam, naturally, and a poison ult (if I'm going with HAAA ss) or super ki explosion to support my teammates so they can hit their Ults easiereduce bosses stamina Regen after broken
Generally, I've found my male human to be the most successful, due to most crystal raid teammates not knowing how to step vanish to dodge the bosses supers/attacks, being basically human meat shields, so bringing my support Majin doesn't help much UNLESS there's more players that know what they are doing. (Why can't we invite actual good teammates???)
I will say though, using the support Majin build almost guarantees a win (if you are evading him and not getting within grab range) against Crystal raids most overpowered, cheap boss; corrupted Zamasu. Since he has no mass attacks, he will be forced to chase you around. (you hopefully carry either super guard or kai kai, and don't have braindead teammates who somehow still manage to get hit by his attacks-) best case scenario is you poison him, and he chases you around fruitlessly while he is forced to watch his hp bar wittle away while your teammates give him well deserved bonks on the head (every corrupted Zamasu player deserves a bonk on the head)
Here's some tips for anybody playing crystal raids:
Hold light attack button and the block button while locked on to a downed ally to instantly revive at the cost of health. It seriously helps if you go with a support build (and annoys the boss)
ALWAYS check the bosses moves with your scouter, you can tell what their strategy will be by checking during the charging/beginning phase. If they have assault rain, assume your teamates are as good as dead and you better hope you have a strike build and poison at the ready to 1v1 the boss. If they have super ki explosion ALWAYS BE WARY WHEN ENGAGING IN CLOSE COMBAT WITH THEM, this is the only instance where Strikers do not have the advantage, as you never know when they will pop out that ult, generally super ki explosion is chosen to surprise enemies in groups. If you have super guard though, you are safe, since you can use super guard, and then step vanish out of it (the I-frames allow you to take no damage within it.) If they have Shining Slash , you have to be at your best side step game possible, this CANNOT be step vanished out of. Side step as soon as you see them use it, or appear Infront of you. All of the boss moves (brainwash, the razor blade attack, and the huge purple ki blast can all easily be step vanished, so don't worry about using super guard or an evasive to get away from them unless they use the purple ki blast on tandem with something like shining Slash or brain wash attack, which is rare.)
A competent boss player will chase you down if they notice you are the only real threat, so practice your sidesteps, step vanishing and knowing when to attack when the opportunity presents itself (when they charge, when they whiff a burst dash, when you dodge out of a ki super)
Another tip: PLEASE DONT USE YOUR LIMIT BURST IF IT WONT DO ANYTHING FOR OYUR TEAM (unless you use the scummy Majin build, in which case go ahead-) I'm talking about "energy wave atk up!" Or "dynamite kick atk up!" Nobody needs to be using that shit just to not be killed by the boss💀 worst case scenario, is you die. You will be revived by your teammates, trust.
Also, if you are a PS player, and you have a guy called HB Network on your team, you already won. You could put down your controller and watch as he turns the boss's ass inside out solo all with only sidestep mastery. (I love you HBnetwork, big inspiration for real, he's Japanese (I think) though so he won't read this I guess)

2023.05.31 17:13 JW9403 Home Depot WeatherShield Board vs Local Pressure Treated?

Hey guys

Looking to build some wood fences at my backyard. I live in the NY/NJ region and Id like to source some pressure treated lumber. I need 5/4 deck boards for my system and Im stuck between either using Home Depot's WeatherShield decking board or Pressure treated boards from a local supplier (Kuiken Brothers). They call their SYP (Southern Yellow Pine?) Pressure Treated Select Premium.
I know theres bunch of memes and jokes/stories about how people stay away from HD lumber because they dont want to deal with getting boards that look like curly fries, but the price from HD is arguably 20% cheaper than the local supplier surprisingly so Im trying to weigh out my options.
Additionally, if I were to buy this, Id be buying it online and by the 100s so im not sure how much this would influence the quality/buy. If anyone has any input on this that can help me determine which material to go with that would be great

2023.05.31 17:12 Susiness DVT in Berlin?

Let’s say you’re a 50 year old American living in Berlin, who has basic level private health insurance, and who does not speak German. If you suspected a DVT (blood clot) in your leg, what would you do? Never sought health care services here before and don’t know if the experience will be different from the US (where I might just call my GP and get direction, OR I might just go to the E.R. ). Just not sure how to proceed…. TYIA

2023.05.31 17:12 notaraan 23M looking for friends to talk to daily

Hey there, I know that there are some cool people out there on Reddit, so go ahead and shoot me a dm. I'd love to hear from you.
A few hobbies of mine include photography & music. I’m not really sure how to elaborate further on that; I do enjoy taking pictures of anything I find pretty and well my taste in music spans various different genres, which include: indie, edm, pop, kpop, jrock, random movie soundtracks & classical but I am always looking to expand my tastes and discover new music. I do want to learn to play the piano too someday (hopefully sometime soon). Shoot me a few recommendations, I’d love to check em out! Oh, I also love trying out foods from cultures around the world and learning about said cultures so if you live abroad or if you like learning about other cultures yourself: bonus points. For the record, I myself am from Canada.
A couple more details about myself, I’m quite scatterbrained which is something that I’d love to improve upon. Would like to get into shape as well but ya know, dieting and exercise are challenging + I am not very good with discipline. So yeah, if any of this sounded interesting, stop by and say “hi” and let’s see where it goes from there :)
Oh, and ideally this would be a long-term sort of thing, I’m open to getting to know someone else entirely and vice versa. That means that I’d love to share not only our accomplishments but also our failures with each other and hopefully we’d feel comfortable enough to help each other through them. But of course, let’s not force anything if we don’t bond. Finally, I do prefer guys who are my age or older because I just seem to bond more with people who know a little bit more of where they’re going in life (it helps me motivate myself). Open to chatting on discord (love sending audio messages).
Hope to chat with some of yall :)

Anybody keep records on how many Uber rides get called per airplane landed? I couldn't find any data on the internet. I realize it's going to be dependent on several factors, like region, season, and so on. Is there an average?

2023.05.31 17:12 tuerda Naming your groups

Here's something fun you can do: Instead of saying "this group here" and "that group there" call them "Jane" and "Bill". It makes it easier to talk about the game.
The real problem comes when you have to sacrifice one of them . . . OK Jane, I guess I am going to let the wolves eat you now.

2023.05.31 17:12 ughkla Seeking advice; go through or wait?

I was approved last year throguh insurance to get a breast reduction, i cancelled due to anxiety of the anesthesia (I’ve had a surgery about 6-7 years ago but so much anxiety) anyways I’m fixing to be 32, 5’0ft 135lbs 34ddd (extreme sagging due to exclusively pumping a few years ago) maybe bigger because they over flow. We’re wanting to have another kid but at this point I’m not sure if I should go ahead and get the BR or wait until we’re done having kids. it causes me a lot of body dysmorphia to the point all I wear is oversized t-shirts.

2023.05.31 17:12 Gagethegrey01 The saltierthancrait subreddit is one of the worst.

I got banned on that subreddit for saying I liked some things about the sequels. Even though I literally said in the same comment that I don't like them overall. Ive heard peolle get banned from that subreddit for saying they dint like the prequels as well. This entire subreddit is just "fans" bashing the sequels with the same arguments and memes every day and then get mad when people call the star wars fanbase toxic and make posts about it being toxic.
I'm surprised that subreddit has as many followers as it does. Thank God there is this sibreddit and other star wars subreddits that actually have decent users.

2023.05.31 17:11 x3n0s Walk in with no appointment in Dallas Locator 55 success!

I applied for a renewal of my daughter's passport 11 weeks ago and travel tomorrow. When we applied at the post office, they talked us out of expidited service (which I was dumb for going along with) because standard was 6 - 9 weeks at that point
A month ago I requested to upgrade to expidited service and they've received the request but it's still been stuck in processing and as standard. 2 weeks ago I called the NPIS and they put in an urgent request. 6 days ago I started calling 3 times a day to get an appointment anywhere, even willing to fly to Hawaii from Texas but there were never any appointments available. Every day I spend about 7 hours on hold over 3 calls just hoping to grab a cancelled appointment to no avail.
Today I just decided to show up at the office 2 hours before they opened and there were already 4 people with no appointment lining up. At 7:50 they came down to the lobby and told us if you don't have an appointment they will only see you if you've already applied and have travel in the next few days or have proof of a life or death travel issue.
I had a new application filled out, new passport photos, printed itinerary, etc. Since my locator was always 55, Dallas, they were able to pull my original application so I didn't actually need all of that but I probably wouldn't have made it in without all those documents.
Anyway, at 9:15 I was out the door with my receipt for passport pickup at 1:30 today! I hope this helps some of you that we're as desperate as I was.
