Disconnect Puns

This has gained some traction so I feel it is time fore some cleaning up, and clarification. The original post will remain at the bottom

1. If you are using this thread to hate on women or think that is the point of this post you can kindly piss off. That is sad and embarrassing.

2. This post is about the disconnect of the majority of girls growing up without having many sources of information on how to communicate intimately with men in a relationship. Is this 100% true? Obviously not.... However, think back for at least a decade though and lets take a look at television specifically. This is also directly correlated with male fragility and how tv shows portrayed men and how they should act to "be manly, be attractive, or have some value in a relationship." The majority of the time "romantic" storylines are written about boys falling head over heels for some girl and then doing everything in their power to make things work. The most inclusive thing I've ever seen for female characters is the typical "I like this boy but I don't know what to do." and the obligatory "Just be yourself and if he likes you It'll work out."

3. The subservient topic and the early 1900s. Yeah, that was a time where women were basically house slaves made to serve men. That was terrible and not how relationships should work. Women were treated as objects and told what to do. Thing is folks, this post isn't about that. Trying to justify an overwhelming majority of women not knowing how to communicate intimately with a man by bringing up a subservient lifestyle of the past is just blatantly avoiding the point. I DO NOT WANT WOMEN TO SERVE MEN. What I am focusing on is what resources do most girls have growing up that teaches them to discuss a mans feelings and emotions?

4. In case you are trying to make this a blame woman post you are completely wrong. The majority of this issue is derived from men protecting their status over the years. For a long time the media industry was dominated by males due to heavy sexist views from the past. Dear god has anyone seen a western before 1990. I'm just saying it would be cool to have movies or tv shows that can teach WOMEN AND MEN that men can be fragile and can cry, and get butterflies and flirt. We are barely scratching the surface of this and I think its awesome but we have a long way to go.

5. If you feel the need to argue this post try using the better argument that we need more shows and movies and media to teach men how to not

C'mon... it's unfair on people who think people are deliberately spinning the clock.

Edit 1: yes, you're all correct it would get abused and should be a connection symbol of some sort. Which came from The_Frostweaver first.

Edit 2: Pdabaker adds "oh so it works like that" would be probably better added too.

Edit 3: Forlornknight's flag idea in comments works too.

Edit 4: No one said it, but judging the room, really it would be more important to bring back STUFFY DOLL.

Edit 5: Vladislove3k is right "No add " two headed giant mode" first. And then "historical commander". Yeah not brawl i want to play real commander with 100 cards!"

Edit 6: Ymrilix is right - a "GTG" one would be good. Don't want people thinking they won on purpose.

Edit 7: Chakolatechip is also right Add "Manascrewed" and "flooded"

Edit 8: Little off topic but Polusmaximus wants "what i want to know is there a way to increase font size during a game?

Sometimes it's impossible to read a wall of text before timer runs out."

Edit 9: MrBabbs is right, "Good lord I'm dumb"

for when you drop the land before playing the land drop trigger you were waiting to play and all other DERP moments

Edit 10: Oh Dieth's is the best so far ADD this

"Would you like to be friends? With an option for the other side to accept.

Would you like a rematch? again same as above."

Edit 11: Tommy_Polia has refined it again even better, ,"This would be really good, knowing if your opponent is actually in the match would be great. It could be as simple as having their name color green if "connected" and red if not."

Edit 12: Snoweel also with "I'd like a "reveal your hand" option at the end. As in, look how terrible my draw was!"

Edit 13: No one said it but a sad trombone sound for Ulamog drops.

Edit 14: Starfyredragon also adds " I want, "GIVE OTHER PLAYER ADDITIONAL TIMER"

Sometimes, they're doing something cool, and I want to see it play out!

Also, more quests. So many people gear their decks towards the quests, which means 90% of decks I face are about spamming some quest requirement. SRSLY, if this mechanic has to stick around, please increase the number of quests. By like, a lot. Each time someone gets a quest, I want it to encourage them to build a new deck to meet it.

Things like, "Play all five colors in one match" or "counter your own spell" or "sacrifice 12 creatures", or "Activate planeswalker abilities 5 times.", or "prevent 30 damage.", or "Attack with 3 flying creatures.", o

We always look at cheap supercars that are expensive to own. What about the other way around? What are some expensive vehicles that are cheaper to maintain than similarly priced vehicles?

I believe the most obvious example would be a Toyota Landcruiser or maybe a new RAM PowerWagon. Maybe even some of the American cheap(er) high-power vehicles, Trackhawk, Shelby GT500, 3LT, etc.

What else?

Hi. I (28F) have been seeing a guy (42M) since November. Things at first felt way too casual and hookup-y for me and in February I brought it up, after which point we discussed it and both of us were on the same page re: wanting a relationship and he started making a lot more effort.

I started to really develop feelings for him and a lot of our values and goals line up. I'm just feeling so confused still about "us" and wondering if this confusion is a sign we are incompatible. We are six months in and I still feel like I don't know where I stand. We still have never had an explicit chat about exclusivity, which freaks me out. It feels like it's just assumed by both of us at this point. When he texts me it often veers sexual (if we're talking about our day he will always start sexting me at some point in the convo). I've mentioned it to him and he says he's just a very sexual person, but it it again brings me back to feeling like he doesn't take me seriously. I met one of his friends and he's met my roommate, that's it.

I feel like things could go either way. I'm so happy and comfortable with him and can see a future and we're clicking soo much one day. And then the next time we see each other it's just so off I can't even describe it. Our conversation is so offbeat and not flowing, I feel uncomfortable and worry he's lost interest in me completely. I don't feel like myself. I sometimes even think I'm about to get ghosted by this guy when 12 hours go by and I don't hear back. Then there is another really great date and I feel happy again - the cycle continues.

Helpful context: I am a pretty insecure person and have always struggled with feeling not worthy of love and being uninteresting. I am very introverted and find it hard to connect with people in general. I have tried therapy and intend to try it again with a different therapist. I'm worried I am sabotaging a potentially great relationship due to my anxiety and insecurity. But then again a healthy relationship wouldn't be causing me so much stress and overthinking.

What are your thoughts? Does everyone struggle with this to some degree, or does this seem so severe I should just be focusing on myself and my own mental health? I realize I need to be more communicative with him and not the internet but it helps to just type things out.

Two days of arena opens, two game disconnects. Yesterday I got really lucky with a godly pull and managed to go 7-2 despite getting a game 1 loss due to a disconnect. I submitted a ticket and have heard nothing back from support.

This morning I'm 4-0 going into match 5 and win game 1. I cannot submit a deck list for game two and do a hard close on the client and reopen after waiting over a minute trying to submit my deck. I reload arena and it's simply as though that match never happened. No match loss or win and no game to reconnect to. I go on 1-2 and "finish" 5-2 for the day.

I opened the ticket IMMEDIATELY after the disconnect match 5 and am currently waiting for them to tell me to go F myself. I hate the fact that GPs are gone. I get 1 mythic qualifier and maybe one open a month on arena and we have these ridiculous server issues on what amounts to a huge weekend for most serious magic players.

EDIT: The disconnect from day one resulted in 22500 gold which I believe is about the same as the entry. I'm still very curious to see if anything will come from the second day of the open. If it's more currency I'm about to be in the 0.1% of richest arena accounts! I'll try and get Elon Musk to promote mtga gems/gold.

I was just randomly given someone else's camera feed and had access to all of their event recordings. I was still logged into my account when this happened so it appears to be a bug with the app itself. I have no idea how this is even possible.

I've made a thread on r/eufy and r/anker about this and others have responded to me indicating the same thing just happened to them. I don't know if this was just a temporary bug or what but this cannot be swept under the rug.

I've disconnected all eufy devices in my home and I highly advise you do the same since other people are randomly getting strangers' video feeds in their apps.

EDIT: 9to5Mac is now covering this: https://9to5mac.com/2021/05/17/huge-eufy-privacy-breach/

EDIT 2: Check out the r/eufycam sub for further information. This is a global event and it appears a ton of Eufy users are affected.

EDIT 3: Official tweet from Eufy. It says in part "A software bug occurred during our latest server upgrade at 4:50 AM EST today. Our engineering team recognized this issue at around 5:30 AM EST, and quickly got it fixed by 6:30AM EST" then recommends people log out and back in and reset their devices.

Absolutely insane.

What discord should take the new LFG function?

Morning Apes! My main stomping ground over on WSBN is still getting bot-bombed at the moment, so I hope you don't mind me sliding in here for a quick post. You'll have to put up with me posting it myself today, instead of it getting copy/pasted, for a change.

-Part 1: The Shorts-

https://iborrowdesk.com/report/GME

We are currently in a complete market disconnect when dealing with GME short shares.

In this graph, you will see the correlation between the red "FEE" line, and the blue bars showing the "AVAILABLE" shares to borrow.

https://i.imgur.com/tNF8w8t.png

As the bars get smaller, the line gets higher. As the shares get harder to borrow, the fee increases. Simple business acumen.

By why isn't it actually doing that the last few weeks?

I monitor the shorts on various platforms constantly, and on Friday, we saw available to borrow shares on IBD fluctuate in the hundreds for the first time since we pulled-back to $40.

Let me say that again: Between 2pm and 4pm on Friday 19Mar21, there were less than 1,000 shares available to borrow to short on IBD.

Maximum shares to borrow has not increased on IBD since 3/17/21. On 3/17 there was a total available share count of 600,000. Normally as shares get lent out, the numbers gradually replenish themselves as shares are covered and new shares are located to borrow.

https://i.imgur.com/bpLQ6MD.png

For example on 3/15, the day began with 250,000 available. It dropped to 100,000 at 12:45, before being replenished at 1:30pm back up to 250,000. They ended the day with 150,000 available, and the next day on 3/16, they had replenished to 400,000.

https://i.imgur.com/VlYnbIh.png

Well, 10:00am on 3/17/21 was the last time any shares have been replenished on IBD. The available to borrow share count has ONLY gone down since that time, and there has been ZERO meaningful replenishment.

They couldn't even find 1,000 actual shares to borrow on Friday.

https://i.imgur.com/rUYtFnF.png

But if shares are so hard to locate right now... why hasn't the borrow fee increased?

That isn't even a rhetorical question... I'm legit asking anyone out there: How does the price to borrow DECREASE on a day when shares aren't able to be found, and after two steady days of not being able to locate new shares to lend?

Who thinks that is a good bet? Who lends such a highly volatile stock as GME, with no shares available to locate, at 0.5%?

Someone is purposely trying to make shorting GME a cheap bet. I think someone

We are seeing a lot of posts about desync and disconnecting in the middle of raid so we ask that all discussion about these issues be redirected to this thread.

There is currently no known fix for server disconnects, if you are experiencing this issue please send a bug report to BSG via the launcher.

Saw a few comments on the Daily Thread about people finding almost all of their Safemoon gone. Leaving your wallet connected to PancakeSwap leaves you vulnerable to hacker attacks.

For added security measure, go to the settings in TW, Security, and set up a password and enable Transaction Signing.

Be as paranoid as possible when it comes to your wallet and the device you keep your wallet on. I'm about to factory reset my old phone, install only TW, leaving that phone disconnected from my WiFi and deleting TW from my everyday phone.

My condolences to anyone who has lost their stacks.

Edit: To disconnect your wallet from PancakeSwap, click on your wallet address at the top right and select Logout. Make sure you're disconnected from both V1 and V2 just to be sure.

I've been having a lot of weird issues with my Samsung EVO 970 500GB M.2 SSD lately. The drive functioned normally without any problems until I tried to run any games installed on it. Games run fine for about 45 minutes to an hour and then just abruptly crash. After this, the game, Steam, and any other applications on the drive simply would simply be inaccessible; I would be prompted with the error "A device which does not exist was specified". Upon restarting my PC the issues fixes itself and my computer recognizes all of my storage drives until I run a game and the issue inevitably repeats itself. I was suspicious as to if the SSD was the issue because I had owned it for some time so I recently bought a newer Samsung EVO 980 1TB M.2 SSD in order to troubleshoot.

I replaced the M.2 with my new one and the issue still persists. Because of this, I'm lead to believe that this could be an issue with a different component such as my motherboard? I made sure my BIOS and all of my associated firmware is up to date so I'm not entirely sure what the issue could be. If anyone has any idea on how I can fix this then it would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

I see Pat is now bashing Ska music and as a British guy, British Ska is widely loved and dont understand the hate but then realise that North American Ska music might aswell be a whole different style of music.

British Ska and ska culture is different what the hell.

I read online others are having the same problem, and perhaps this is a problem with all wireless headsets for Xbox. How can they not have a fix for this yet?

The audio is unstable about 50% of the time, just stutters and breaks until finally disconnecting. It seems to happen frequently in the same places in games leading me to wonder if it’s the positional audio that’s glitching?

Based on recommendations online, tried switching back to my older Elite controller, and switched my HDMI input on my tv, which has not helped much (if at all). I don’t know what else to do, but I’m going to have to return the headset if there’s not some kind of fix or improvement.

I am not usually hard to please, but I’d like ultra premium products to work at a basic level. This is just completely unacceptable at the moment.

The fact is the second game misses a majority of the elements of the first game that was very intentional.

This is a huge problem with the game as in the second one they've changed the context to a point you no longer know what the context was and are unable to tell if the story is the same one or that the scenes they did change were to imply a completely different story.

This obviously creates a disconnect as they did a horrible job transitioning.

But again forgetting the fireflies were always shady fucks is a huge change to the story, Marlene in the second game is a completely different character who doesn't fit the context of the first game based on what she says she's going to do and it ruins the complex part of her character as they only dumbed down the story and made it less complex with these changes. I understood why the fireflies were crazy, it was desperation ... desperation to justify their losses, failures as an organization, terrorist acts that helped nobody and pointless deaths ... the cure was a hail Mary on their last legs reflected in the combativeness of the Firefly soldiers And all the other elements like the hospital and Marlenes actions.

And how the ideology of the fireflies has been contradicted at this point for fighting against what they thought was an oppressive force which was really just making logical choices in the harsh reality (FEDRA) while the fireflies ignored reality the entire time and the cure was never something they could handle it was a rallying cry for them a marketing tactic and sure they must have meant it but they were misguided from the start but almost had a noble goal if they weren't acting out like children when things were bad for everyone. Anyways the fireflies reflects with Fedra because they made things worse for everyone while Fedra didn't and the fireflies while they viewed Fedra as too oppressive their own soldiers act no different knocking out someone trying to give CPR to a girl who was unconscious and acting psychotic and aggressive too Joel and how they ironically stopped seeing people by the end like killing the people who made the delivery or seeing Ellie not as a person.

The fireflies planned on killing Joel, they were never the type who were going to make the cure but the type who lost themselves along the way.

Rushing Joel out and not letting Ellie see him was part of their plan ... now that hes gone she has nothing to go back too even if she does wake up ... disgusting actions but I stil
