Please tell me I’m not the only one 😂

[This is a bit of a rant, but not a resentful one. Let's discuss, rather than turning it into a battlefield]
An overwhelming number of girls have what seems to be the same profile. A few good pictures and a selection of two out of the same ten prompts that they all use. I'm talking about things like:

1. I quote too much from Friends/The Office: These shows are far too popular. Most people like them, so you're hardly filtering anybody out. And also, what conversations would you even have revolving around this?
2. Don't hate me if I: won't share my fries/steal your hoodie.
3. "I love: food/ice cream/momos" - Again, pretty sure most people enjoy good food
4. "Only if we vibe". Obviously. Is there anybody looking to go out with people with whom they don't vibe? You just wasted a prompt
5. Feed me/Adopt me/Dating me is like dating a child. And a few other that I forget (help me here)

You will get likes and matches regardless because of the skewed ratio - and hence may not either realize or feel the need to put more effort; but the quality of the matches will inevitably be poor. Cliche prompts lead to cliche openers and conversations. If you write your prompts such that they either convey something unique about you or your expectations from prospective right swipers - you can sorta weed out the boring ones and those who swiped only for your looks. Making a profile is a one time effort that is definitely worth it in the long run. Make your profile about you.
Disclaimers:

1. Applies to guys too, just that I don't know much about our profiles, duh.
2. Yes, us guys need to work on our profiles and conversation skills too. These are all not mutually exclusive. Let's help each other out.
3. All of this mostly applies to girls aged 18-25 I think. The older profiles that I have seen are more mature about their expectations for the most part.
4. Yes, lostredditors. Mods can take this down, but also 80% of the posts on here along with it

I received a MP this year. Yay.. finally pulled my head out of my ass after 7 years. So looking over my DVR it says I am missing my most recent EPR. I PCA’d in Jan but my EPR closed out with my old squadron. I called my old CSS and they said AFPC was not accepting their EPRs until they had a new MEL(Master Eligibility List)which was requested in FEB but they still have not received . Has anyone ever heard of this? I created an evaluation appeal to show that my EPR has been signed and to show that I have a CMS case started already before the close out date. I have also contacted the promotions office and force management here on base(no help there yet either). So my questions. 1. As stated above has anyone heard of this happening? And 2 what does this to my promotion eligibility/ scores for this year if it’s not a fixed by then? Will I be force to wait for the supplemental in Oct? Saying I made it/ just to see my scores.Thanks in advance for your help and thoughts

Hello everyone!
​
About 2 months ago, I wrote a post on this sub asking for advice on how to start my career as a game translator. You can find the thread here: https://www.reddit.com/TranslationStudies/comments/128uo9h/aspiring_video_game_translator_looking_for_help/
​
It’s about time I updated you!
​
In the last 2 months I’ve contacted slightly more than 100 agencies, and these have been the results:
​
— Most of them didn’t even get back to me;
— About 6-7 asked for my rates, and they told me that they’ve added me to their database, but they haven’t contacted me since;
— 3 of them had me do a translation test. For one test I haven’t heard back from them yet (it’s been more than a month); I’ve passed the two other tests, but I haven’t received any projects yet (again, this was more than a month ago).
​
Also, I’ve noticed that agencies reply without a clear logic. For example, yesterday a friend of mine who completed the localization course with me got the chance to do a test for an agency that I had contacted 2 months ago and that hadn’t replied. Since my friend and I have basically the same CV in terms of experience, I was wondering why this is the case.
Talking about CVs, I’ve translated a couple of games to get some extra practice, including the LocJAM 5 game, which I’ve added to my CV.
​
All in all, I wanted to ask you the following questions:
​
1) Is this in line with your experience as someone starting out?
2) Considering what happened to my friend, I would like to contact again those agencies that didn’t reply at first. How much time should I wait before I do so? I was thinking about 3–4 months.
3) Can I contact again those agencies that told me they’ve added my data to their database, but I haven’t heard back from for months?
​
Thanks in advance!

Borrowing text from our sister sub at /relationships... Like many others, we're concerned about the announced charges to the Reddit API and their impact on third party apps and vital mod tools. The changes will reduce the quality of access for many users, and for some users such as those with vision issues, may effectively lock them out of reddit.
Moreover, these changes represent a further deterioration in the relationships between Reddit and its user base. First ‘new’ reddit looks flashy but is regressive in functions and control. Much as we know we are hardly popular as a group, mods are expected to do more and more, but the tools we have to achieve it are incredibly few. Most key tools are not provided by Reddit, and rely on the goodwill of developers who get no support from Reddit.
Now reddit seems to be taking several steps to pump up the userbase and inflate their revenue and value, presumably for an IPO (selling shares in Reddit). This ignores that the assets of Reddit are the users who create content and interact with the sites, and the unpaid janitors of the mod community. Without both groups' goodwill and engagement, Reddit could go from a vibrant community to a ghost town overnight.
Standard explanation of the protest below. If you want it really fast, look at this image.

What's going on?

A recent Reddit policy change threatens to kill many beloved third-party mobile apps, making a great many quality-of-life features not seen in the official mobile app permanently inaccessible to users.
On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill every third party app on Reddit, from Apollo to Reddit is Fun to Narwhal to BaconReader.
Even if you're not a mobile user and don't use any of those apps, this is a step toward killing other ways of customizing Reddit, such as Reddit Enhancement Suite or the use of the old.reddit.com desktop interface .
This isn't only a problem on the user level: many subreddit moderators depend on tools only available outside the official app to keep their communities on-topic and spam-free.

What's the plan?

On June 12th, many subreddits will be going dark to protest this policy. Some will return after 48 hours: others will go away permanently unless the issue is adequately addressed, since many moderators aren't able to put in the work they do with the poor tools available through the official app. This isn't something any of us do lightly: we do what we do because we love Reddit, and we truly believe this change will make it impossible to keep doing what we love.
The two-day blackout isn't the goal, and it isn't the end. Should things reach the 14th with no sign of Reddit choosing to fix what they've broken, we'll use the community and buzz we've built between then and now as a tool for further action.

What can you do as a user?

• 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 the coordinated mod effort at /ModCoord.
  
• Boycott and spread the word...to Reddit's competition! Stay off Reddit entirely on June 12th through the 13th- 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.
  

What can you do as a moderator?

• Join the coordinated effort over at /ModCoord
  
• Make a sticky post showing your support, A template has been created here you can use or modify to your liking, and be sure to crosspost it to /ModCoord.
  

Thank you for your patience in the matter,
-Mod Team

In the beginning, God created the universe. And that was pretty neat. And then He made other stuff. Most of that was pretty neat too. Then he created Man. And everyone was a little dubious on that, but we all wanted to see where He was going with this.
But then he gave Man a gift. Alcohol.
...that's when things really started going downhill.
I'll hand it to you apes. I love the crazy things you all come up with. We never would have come up with fried ice cream without you. So never let it be said that I don't love you. Most of you. Okay, some of you. Mostly the pretty ones with the dimples. Because that's where the real evil hides. In the dimples.
But a lot of you people are kinda douchebags. Sorry, not sorry. Hashtag Yeah I Said It.
Anyway, so here I am, once more serving out my sentence for that whole "tried to take over Heaven" thing, stuck here working a hotel job. Dealing with Karens. And drunken idiots. Which brings me to tonight's tale.
It's Thursday. Which means it's not Friday. So things shouldn't be that bad, right?
Heh.
Cast: Me, Security Guy(SG), PU(that's a surprise acronym that will be relevant later), Drunk Guys Three. Any names mentioned have been changed to protect the moronic.
SG is my weekend relief auditor. Works a couple weekday shifts as security as well. He patrols the halls, and walks the parking lot, on the lookout for Trouble™. And tonight, he found it. He comes back in from a walk around the lot, then goes out to the patio. Moments later, he returns.
SG: "I just caught a guy pissing on the patio."
Me, internally: "Oh joy. So this is how tonight's gonna be, huh?"
Me: "A guest?"
SG: "Yeah, he's in room 762. Will you confirm for me that there's someone in that room?"
Me: "Yup. Looks like there is indeed a guy in there. Checked in tonight."
SG: "So, what do we do?"
Me: "I'm inclined to call the cops, but I know tonight's MOD is still awake, so I'm gonna let him decide."
MOD tells me that as per AGM - yeah, he called her - we're to give them one chance to return to their rooms. She'll see about charging them a damage fee tomorrow. If they don't go? Cops. Alright. Fine.
We make sure the desk is secure, and SG follows me outside.
Me: "Evening gentlemen. So, I just got off the phone with my boss, and I've been instructed to inform you that the patio is closed because some people don't know how to behave like adults in fucking public. This is your one and only chance to go to your room."
Public Urinator: "Oh come on, it's not that bad. It's not like there were any kids out here..."
SG: "The spot you chose to do your business is visible from several of those rooms up there."
PU: "But they didn't see me..."
Me: "That's immaterial. The fact of the matter is that public urination is a crime in this state. Now I'm going to reiterate that I am giving you a chance to clear out and go to your rooms. You might be contacted by my manager in the morning either way, but if you go now, the police will not be notified."
DG1: "So the cops haven't been called?"
Me: "Not yet. But we're quickly approaching that inevitability.
DG2: "We're just trying to have a good time and relax..."
Me: "So, you're not going to take me up on my offer and go to your rooms?"
DG1: "No, we're going. Come on, Frank."
DG2: "I'm just saying..."
DG3: "Shut up. You're going to get Ted arrested."
PU: "Yeah, I guess I should have gone up to my room to pee. Sorry."
SG: "Or used the lobby restroom."
PU: "Oh, I didn't think of that. Sorry. You're really not calling the cops?"
Me: "I'm going back to my desk now. If you aren't on your way up to your rooms by the time I reach the desk, I will be calling them. I'm done with this conversation. I hope your mothers are all proud of you."
So yeah, maintenance is probably gonna have to pull out the pressure washer in the morning. My manager sounded set on fining PU for it. But I'm not sure she's gonna get a chance.
You know, it's pretty lucky that there's no one in 760, 764 and 662. One might even call that the Devil's own luck.

So I (25F) just moved here like 3 years ago. This is a 7 floors building, there are approximately 20 apartments I believe and all of the neighbors are like really close to each other and know each other for decades and most of them are older than 40 fsr and had always lived here. I first move in with my former fiancé (27M), he is an extrovert and introduced himself to the other neighbors that same day. He is a physician assistant student and he immediately made some friends like a doctor from the 3rd floor and some nurse. When we first moved in I was going through a very bad depression episode. I was diagnosed with depression at 12, I used to handle it but at 21 I went to a traumatic experience (that actually lead me to move here from an apartment that I used to love) so when I was settling in I wasn't in the mood of meeting new neighbors or small talk so I never actually got to know them, but my ex fiancé did. I work from home so I dont usually hang around the building cause I almost never leave my apartment because of my social anxiety and my allergies to the weather of my country most of the year. My ex fiancé on the other hand was always coming and going so he met a lot of the neighbors when going to work or running errands.
So last year I was actually starting to feel kinda better and I began to leave my apartment more often to meet old friends etc. But my relationship with my fiancé was not going too well. We still loved and cared about each other but we weren't working as a couple, it got kinda platonic. We decided to end our relationship and to stop the wedding plans but we continued living together with no drama until he found a nice place to move. He decided that he would be the one who moves because the apartment was too far away from his work anyway and he didn't want me to stress out with another moving after all I went through. There was no rush from me, I wanted him to find his perfect place so he moved temporarily to the guest room and we were living peacefully almost as roommates while he kept looking for apartments. In my opinion we were even happier that way than as a couple. My mental health was improving. I started a new job, mostly from home but hybrid so I had some meetings and it involved some events I had to attend. I was going out the apartment more often and I started to run errands and go to the store almost as a normal person. I was doing my best effort. When I had to share the elevator with another neighbor they used to get really surprised by my presence. They all used to ask if I was visiting or if I was new in the building. I found rather odd the interrogations all the time but I just used to reply that I live in the 7th and that Ive been living here for 2 years now. They were at first usually shocked and then they were like oh yeah you're the physician's fiance. I never got the guts to correct them by saying I was his ex, mostly because he was still around and it just makes no sense so I would wait until he move out to do so.
But 6 months passed and my ex was no where near to move out. It was ok to me to stay as roommates and I didn't felt like it was a big deal that the neighbors believe that we were still a couple. He never corrected them either when they asked him stuff like when was gonna be the wedding. But at that time Ive just met someone at an event from work that I was really into (24M). He asked me out and we went to a few dates that were amazing. There was an awesome connection and we started dating.
We usually hang up at his place because my apartment is kinda far anyway and also I didn't knew how to tell him the situation with my ex/roommate. After 2 months dating I already knew I wanted a relationship with him, I was happier than ever I never had felt that way before, we were both so truly in love so I told him everything and he was totally fine with that and he understood that it was not uncommon for exs to live together for a while until one of them find somewhere to go. He didn't knew that almost 9 months had passed tho.
On the other hand when I told my ex about my new bf that was coming to visit he lost it. I didn't expect him to freak out that way because he used to tell me about his crushes and his dates in that time we were living only as roommates and it was fine I already saw him like a friend amd even gave him advices with girls but he got real mad when I mention the word bf and that he was visiting anytime soon. He said how can you this to me and that he thought I was just sleeping around but he didn't expected something like that.
I immediately realized that maybe he still had some feelings for me so I tried to be as kind as possible and he started to look more seriously for places to move. My bf only came to visit whenever my ex was working all night at the hospital so we don't disturbed him and I was really careful they never crossed knowing how my ex feeling about him. The situation was really awkward and my new bf one day told me that he had very weird encounters at the halls of the buildings with neighbors asking who was him and who was he visiting. At that time I'm pretty sure that most of the neighbors thought that I was having an affair. They never liked me anyway because I was quiet because of my mental issues and they might have take the wrong impression but I was just unable to small talk. They adored my ex fiance tho so they kinda hate me now. He found a place to live and he moved out right away.
4 months had passed from that, my bf and I are so happy together and he started to work from home too so he is spending a lot of time in my place because some issues with his roommate. We aren't talking about living together yet but he comes at least 5 days at week. My sister came one weekend to visit for the first time and she heard some neighbors chatting on the elevator about me without knowing who she was. They were saying that I was cheating my fiance with a some much uglier guy that I used to have over anytime my fiance had a shift at the hospital and that he one day found out and left me. It was really disturbing to know that but I didn't wanted to get involved and I didn't really care about their opinions of me. It was awful the looks I got from them but I didn't went out too often anyway. The president of the neighbors, the doctor from the 3rd that was friends with my ex, called me on Sunday to complain about my sister's car staying to long on the garage and they didn't recognize the car and it wasn't allowed to have visitor's cars on our garage. It was actually on my spot because I don't own a car and there was literally nothing wrong with that. So I avoid confrontation and told her ok and hang up but actually I was not going to make my sister move her car at night it was ridiculous and she was leaving early in the morning anyway. But I didn't had the courage to reply her what I actually thought because of my social anxiety. So when the doctor left in the morning the car was still there because my sister decided to stay until 10am to avoid traffic and I told her it was fine because she has every right to have her car on my spot and it doesn't bother anyone that her car is there but the neighbor just hates me and wants to give me a bad time for no reason. I didn't expect the rest of the neighbors to support her but they convocated a meeting of neighbors only to accuse me for what I did. It was everyone against me at the meeting. It was terrifying for me and my mental health, like a public amonestation at the lobby of the building where everyone got together to complain about me. I tried to defend myself without crying about that there's no rule against the visitor's car on the owner spot. But they said they didn't care, it was just disrespectful to tell the president on the phone that I was moving the car and then just don't move it. I can't stress enough that all of the neighbors are older than 40, at least the ones that were at that meeting. They started to complain that I was also rude, that I never talked to anyone not got the time to know them or to participate on the building's reunions and parties and that I had a guest over visiting too often, probably a bf, that doesn't pay rent and that they need to know his name and last name because I have to inform to the building if I'm having a new partner or roommate. Everything was surreal and I just left the meeting without saying a word. I couldn't stand it anymore. I locked in my apartment and I am trying to understand that they must hate me because of a misunderstood about me cheating my fiance but I actually felt so angry because even if that was true they had no right to do something like that. They are always rude to my new boyfriend and I have to keep living here for at least 2 years and I don't know how to do so with all this bad energy and I am scared and I haven't left my apartment today and I don't know what to do and I just can't stop crying and having no appetite and feeling like another depression episode might be coming back.

I just got my Ultimates Plus and I was overwhelmed by the available customization. I upgraded from the Fanatec V3s where the only change I did was the BKP and the upgrade rubbers kit for the brake.
For the Ultimates I installed the hard rubbers, set the brake to 35 kilos and increased just a bit the throttle travel.
I know I can change more things, the preloads, stiffness, curves in the software, but not sure what’s gonna help or not. I am mostly driving open wheelers (F3 / F1), I have a decent sense of what a fast lap should look like in general (currently at 3K iRating) but I feel like I lack the ability to recognize when a good change was made to the pedals, if it helps or not. I try to use telemetry and gut feeling, but having so many custom settings available is a blessing in disguise.
What did you changed for your Ultimates / Sprints? Are there some common S-Curves / Hardware changes that can be objectively better in order to be fast on track? I know it comes also to personal preference and seat time will give the answer, I just want if possible to start on the right path. Does it makes a difference setting them up for open wheel vs GT3 for example?
Thanks!
