Seriously, a ton of people are at a Walmart trying to stock up and everything is literally gone.
Hello all! Like many of you one of my loves about this game is the gym system. Its playfully competitive and rewards you with coins we can exchange for bigger events. However, my local community is SUFFERING due to just one player - an active spoofer. They purposefully have claimed 'ownership' of at least 4 gyms surrounding their home, having (so they boast) at least 6 accounts and over 400 Golden Razzberries per account because of them spoofing into raids. So any time any other team tries to take down one of these gyms they find it near impossible - even if you manage to get them to use 10 G. Razz on a pokemon and kick them out a gym they wait 10 minutes then boot you back out and replace themselves. The bigger problem with this is that they've started to spread into other gyms and accounts on other teams. They're literally spreading out like a virus, claiming all the gym space for themselves! We have spoken to them directly, they admit they're doing it and dance in logistic circles as for why they are not doing anything wrong, or simply to avoid saying they don't care. Also, they're spreading horrid rumours about the players who've called them out on this to new players (literally building themselves a small army of followers and dependents for raids)... Perhaps worst of all, they've even been grossly overly physical with players! No one knows what to do. Is there ANY advice you can offer to help us fight back and reclaim this game from this obsessive and toxic player?
Thank you for any and all advice or support you can offer!
Edit 1: To clarify, when I said that they were being "grossly overly physical with players!" I did not mean they were being violent. I meant that they were being invasive of players rights to their privacy on their phones, their physical space and even touching people inappropriately for the circumstance.
Edit 2: To further clarify, the wider community has been able to confirm that they have 6 accounts in one team (which take up every spot in a gym) and we know of at least 3 other accounts split up other the other two teams. The spoofer has confirmed the 6 accounts themselves, but won't admit to the others despite players having raided with them using these accounts. This leads us to heavily question how many more accounts they own.
This question/thread is mainly geared towards OS's (Communications Units/OS3s in particular), but all are welcomed to chime in:
Allow me to preface this by saying that over half of our supervisors are extremely team oriented and inclusive in their leadership. Some go out of their way -- I'm talking, above and beyond what is standard or even necessary -- to ensure that thoughts and ideas are heard, constructive feedback is given, and credit is equally shared upon case completion. As far as they're concerned, I love standing watch with them and I'm forever appreciative.
Then there's a select few minority (two) that are cause for concern. It's bad enough to the point that they make me seriously contemplate a career change. I'm sure they've driven others (either directly or indirectly) to leave the Coast Guard. Perhaps you have some of these types in YOUR office.
Any efforts made to assist or contribute on a case are shutdown HARD by these individuals, and usually accompanied by some form of belittlement. Upon case completion, they go out of their way to ensure that everyone knows they did all the work, even at twice the time expended than it would have taken had the entire office worked in tandem.
And then jokes are made on smoke break and personal text messages are sent about how the whole CG falls apart without their existence and how everything's "f*cked up" outside the OS world.
And then we wonder why we have this ginormous rift between OS's and BM's. (Side note: BM's are amazing and we couldn't do half of what we do without you)
So how do you deal with all of this? After writing all this out, I realize it's not so much the credit stealing that grates me, but the complaints stemming from them after the fact. I'm also aware that there are opportunities outside the command center, such as boats, VTS's, and Air Stations, among others, but those billets are not guaranteed. And there's the famous survey which has helped our office climate a little...but not nearly to the extent that it should. It's exceedingly difficult for me to glare beyond the fact that there are other jobs out there (911 dispatch) where these issues do not exist. You just take the call, dispatch, rinse and repeat, without all the BS shenanigans.
Thanks for reading. Thoughts?
First I would like to say a very big "Thank you!" to everyone who read and responded to my post the other day. I've been bouncing around a spectrum of emotions. So after reading what you lovely people were telling me and talking to some friends and family it became apparent what needed to happen.
That brings us to today. DH and I agreed that it didn't really matter what we told my mother because we knew this was all going to end the same. We had to exchange some stuff leftover from Thanksgiving, so we arranged a time to meet up at her apartment. When we were done packing everything up my mom asked me what was up because I "looked tired" and I said "yeah, I haven't been sleeping well. I've been wanting to talk to you about the holidays and your behavior leading up to and during Thanksgiving." She looked shocked like she didn't know what I was talking about. I continued with "because of the things you said and the way you've been treating me and my family I think it's best if we took some time apart. You stress me out and make me feel bad about myself and that's not something I need in my life right now." She rolled her eyes and asked "like what?" I gave her a couple of examples from my previous post, ending with the "payback" comment. She scoffed and goes, "well, BagFries no one can say anything to you!" I told her "this isn't a discussion. Your Christmas gift is in the mail." and she stormed off back to her apartment. DH and I got in the car and left. She texted us a couple minutes later asking if we were going to pick up DS's Christmas gifts? I said no, mail them.
So that's it. I guess I'm labeling this as a 'cautious success'. I have a feeling she's going to resurface at some point. She never goes quietly. For now DH and I are snuggling with DS and trying to enjoy the silence.
I cannot a scenario where we collapse literally overnight. Nor can I see a scenario where we are fine at Thanksgiving but in complete ruin by Christmas. I see the collapse as taking time, maybe decades. And the truth is we're in the midst of it now. However, it could also accelerate at some point when things get really bad.
I don't know... I guess I'm just not sure. Our ability to fix the economy is very strong. We can map disease spread and bring them under control, and I'm sure we will do this with the Coronavirus. But we have far less ability turning the tide with Climate Change and this could be the main driver of collapse.
And collapse would well bring about war, as people always get desperate and will ignore their values as they try to survive. Does anyone think that in a collapsing world, one country would not simply decide to take the resources of another country? And that the response to this would not be anything but violence?
So... will it be quick or protracted?
Love to hear your thoughts?

I know this is All-Stars but we've just been shown way too much of her!!! Give the poor girl a break!
• They let me get some much needed space while horizontally feeding my 4 month old when it’s mf hot • They let me hold said baby in whatever position is most comfortable for me while vertically feeding her • They make it easier to walk and BF when necessary • Jiggle • When my toddler tries to sneak boob I can literally just move my nipple away • Every single bra makes my boobs look better! • Soft • They remind me of my two little giants • They’ve been BF’ing for over two years without a break! Good job boobies
This has been a mummy/body appreciation post, please leave your additions below!
Wanted to make a post about one of my pet peeves in pubs: bad courier usage.
I rarely play mid and am an almost exclusive offlane player, but the frequency with which I see other supports or cores, particularly in the safelane, (I'll get into why in a bit) switch the courier away from their mid without saying anything or use it for dumb reasons is really irritating, and in some cases, game losing. (Especially in early game) This is why:
-
The 3 lanes on each side of the map are not the same length. This might seem obvious to some, but I don't think everyone realizes how much further away the tier 1 safelane tower really is from the edge of the fountain, than the tier 1 mid. The time it takes a walking courier to reach the tier 1 safelane is 29 seconds. The time it takes the walking courier to reach the tier 1 mid tower: 18 seconds. The time it takes the walking courier to reach the offlane tower: 21 seconds. But that's not all. The courier also has to go back in most cases before dropping off the next set of items- all the way to the fountain. All in all, this results in a safelane courier usage taking 22 seconds longer than one mid courier usage. If the safelane uses the courier twice in the first 3 minutes like I have seen so often, (carry sends out a quelling blade and a salve; hard support immediately uses it when it gets back for a ward and a clarity) that results in the mid player being able to use it two less times than he could have, had the safelane only used it once.

Mid is usually the most uneven lane. This is a result of a number of factors: the last pick of the draft usually going to a mid player on one team, coupled with a 1v1 lane and having no way to counteract a lane disadvantage. (Outisde lanes can pull lane creeps from behind the tier 1, or pull a neutral camp to drag their own creeps and change equilibrium) One player is usually going to have a moderate to large advantage in the mid lane if they made a decent pick, and they want to press that advantage- because if they can force the opposing mid out of lane repeatedly or permanently, it results in a huge early advantage for the team. Using the courier repeatedly to grab small items like null talismans, bracers, mangos, and regen allows them to do this, and potentially snowball the game. The mid player at a disadvantage needs that courier to constantly send out regen and whatever they can get, just to be able to stay in the lane and make sure their ga
Save for obvious exceptions like a birthday party, graduation dinner or other family gatherings where you made a reservation in advance, a group sitting at a table and talking after finishing all their food and paying for the meal is very rude to me. When there are many hungry people who have been waiting patiently (and are potential income for the restaurant) it is a disservice to both those in the queue and the eating establishment itself.
How is it possible that we didn't make an adjustment in the 3rd quarter? Kanter and Collins literally just sat under the basket and gave up open threes all game. We also did the same thing on off ball screens. If your man is screening for Curry or Thompson, go cover the three until their defender can recover. This is such a simple concept. I don't understand why we're not trapping the ball. Let Bogut, Looney, or Draymond beat us.
As title. It's such a great little system and much more portable than the switch! Currently going through muramasa, then possibly gravity rush or p4g.
I've recently lost a lot of weight, around 140lbs and as a result my body is pretty jacked, with sagging tits, flabby belly and generally loose saggy skin everywhere.
I've recently met someone new who I really really like a lot and it seems to be reciprocated.
He acts as though my body's appearance doesn't bother him, and he gets really turned on around me, but I still can't help but feel gross and completely undesirable.
I really like this guy and think he may even be "the one" and can see a future with us, so I'd really like to know how to overcome my body confidence issues.
I'd really like to let myself be free and let go around him, but I feel so stifled when it comes to positions and really letting go as I'm so conscious of certain angles and how I must look to him.
I don't want to deprive him of an active and healthy sex life, resorting to lights off, in the dark and under the bed sheets only.
Any fun positions I can try with him where my body won't be the centre stage and main attraction?
How can I can build confidence in myself to get comfortable in my own skin?
Our house has retrofit double glazing into wooden frames (done by previous owner). It appears the French doors can’t handle the additional weight of the glass and so are repeatedly sagging and sticking at the bottom corner. I’d estimate the door to weigh 30 - 40 kg. Photos of said door https://imgur.com/ekAwQZW Things I’ve tired so far in order:
- sanded bottom corner down to clear
- clamped, glued and doweled the tenons (had pulled approximately 5 mm out from the weight) this fixed it for a short
- replaced hinges (75 mm) and shimmed
- pulled screw holes with dowel and glue and redrilled.
- replaced with larger 90 mm hinges
- replaced screws with longer ones with larger thread
Any ideas? I’m sick of throwing money and time at this thing.
Hi there. I recently bought a hammock stand and has put it to the lowest point on the 3 different mount holes (The mount that makes it to where the hammock stands the highest) and I realised that it's been sagging lower and lower and lower. I have accidentally fallen asleep on this hammock about 4 times (i slept sideways). It's a double hammock, and very strong, but it's just getting lower and lower. How low will it get? And how can I raise it back to it's old levels? Thank you ! We've had it for about a month now, and it's MUCH lower than it once was.
