My boyfriend quit his job 4 months ago to get clients of his own. He said he was moving into his mom's place and moved all his clothes there. He hasn't spent a single night at her place in 4 months and spends all of his time in my apartment, where I live alone in a studio, paying $1,700. He's mentioned to me how much money he's been saving without a rent bill and will even tell me how much money he's making in a day with his own clients. I'm proud of him, but I think I'm starting to resent him for being here for free.
I've been wanting to bring up a conversation about what his plan is or how long he's going to live with me rent-free, so I did last night and nothing came of it. He said that he doesn't technically live here because he didn't bring any of the stuff from his apartment here (in a storage), doesn't have clothes here (keeps them in his car outside my apartment), and still asks to come over every time he leaves. But he does spend every single day and every single night here. He pays for groceries every so often, but it doesn't compare to the bills that I'm paying.
He says his goal is to never pay for rent again and to save up enough money to buy a house. I really don't mind him being here at all. When I pictured living with a boyfriend for the first time, I saw us splitting the bills and chipping in together. I don't know if I'm asking too much or if I should just let it go.
What would you guys do in this situation?

Hey everyone, just wanted to share what’s been weighing on me lately.
The title says it all: racism is absolute bullshit. It’s physically and mentally draining. I’m a 36-year-old Black man who grew up in a mostly white area, and I’ve dealt with racism from both white people and Black people. Over time, I’ve built thick skin — maybe too thick — and probably suppressed more than I should have.
I’ve been a stepdad for 11 years to two amazing kids who are half white and half Hispanic and a blood father of a 6 year old half white half black child. My wife is white, and we’re raising them to be kind, thoughtful, and respectful people.
But with all the recent drama going on (you know who I’m talking about — "he who shall not be named," Carmelo Anthony, and Shiloh Hendrix), racism seems to be front and center again. It’s honestly overwhelming. I keep a strong front for my boys, but it’s easier to speak freely here with you all on Reddit.
I think all parties involved could’ve handled things better — their actions were unacceptable. But what really struck me was the reaction to it all. I looked through the crowdfunding pages for both people, and the difference in the comments is night and day.
The stuff on Shiloh’s page was full of white supremacist energy — seriously triggering and incredibly depressing. I honestly believed that by 2025, we’d be further along, but reading some of those comments makes it feel like racism is just as alive and well, if not more emboldened, than ever. On Karmelo’s donor page there is 1-2 per 100 donor of racism BS found within the comments .
My wife tries to reassure me, saying those hateful comments are from a small group of people compared to the world’s population. But I can’t stop thinking about it. It’s hard to shake the sadness — especially as a father raising children who will likely face judgment simply because of how they look or where their family comes from.
I just wish we could move past superficial differences like skin color or sexual orientation — things that have zero impact on anyone else’s life. It shouldn’t be this hard. All in all racism is BS from anyone and I hate it. I wish we could move on but it seems we’re a century or so too early in our timeline to be there.
Thanks for reading.

So this report outlines the jobs added throughout April, but most jobs:
a) Start on April 1st
b) Are interviewed about and agreed on 2 weeks to 1 month prior, with probationary periods.
The tariffs were solidified on April 2nd.
Could it be that companies kept hiring normally since they did not expect the president to go through with the tariffs? The stock market during the days prior to the announcement surely thought that he wouldn't do it. Also, the uncertainty in March was much lower than now(with all the daily flip-flopping), wouldn't the May job report be more accurate of post-tariff job growth? | r/stocks | post | r/stocks | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jNjV4YkozanFBZ1BpZkp1WjNJbEp4QzROYjFuUld3WnpRRFR3cmRqelYyLXJpbE4xanRtRjdpLXdNOUc0cktPVExLcTJSVHVlSDZNT1FnbkxZLW5ON3c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kZVlvLThrbmw1QTNSZjR2azJnWDcycTZMTXhNWW41b1hVTnpkR0Z6cmlpdFNGWXlhbndtY3ZwRzdtbDd3bi1LelMtVUhGTFBFNW13RjBvNVZyblBOQVZKZjlxVUhsMWdNWXgyTkVaTmpYR0lXZ093U241aW9vYm1PY0tlbng2MVN6YXBVN3lzYkpqbDRtNjlpWWtoTWhXWXoyaDF2TTRBaFhIajZET21PXzRObEFUUC13R2RKR0FjemhhZm51UkMx |
I am an atheist but I am curious as to what evidence or spiritual encounters that really keep you grounded in your faith.

Posting this here cause for some reason r/PetPeeves removed it immediately despite this LITERALLY FITTING THE NAME OF THE SUB. But anyway, I have seen a few of these and it gets on my nerves when people do this. They hold a clip on mic, made for clipping onto your shirt collar or some other part of your shirt, up to their mouth to speak into it. And then they put the video of them doing this saying the words in the video. JUST CLIP IT ONTO YOUR SHIRT THATS WHAT THOSE MICS ARE FOR!!! If you want the look if yourself holding a mic use a mic that reporters use or hell literally any mic where you can grip it firmly. If you have a clip on just clip it onto your shirt DO NOT FUCKING HOLD IT AND PUT IT INTO THE VIDEO. | r/vent | post | r/Vent | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jVTBfRUVib3BteWlqM2ZfWmd6Xzg5c29fS1JsMzVpT0ZNRFlxSC1pTGhpcHhQZEFiTE5KTE1vTG5UaXdYZkJ0WTZfXzFSS1lKMG5zV2hSSHBPWlc0aWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kUDBEMFNIcmhEeTJPZnJ5d0pjQXU4aWJPVlNXaHdzS1ZpbnphYnlKVUhfT2FIQWtGd3lTUHdDUVlOYnFpOW1Cak95allINnBVanREWlNmS0hTbGFsb0xZRzRRMEQyNkxoTEJhY2lIdktLMnVSV0NXYV9GUThwenhTal9NZ3ZhUkc3V2o1U0pnY2l4R2VRTlJZOEl5UEJLNTNKYzNYTlU0dkdlR1dGUVo4cEZYNEtveHUxRUV6N01xcS1VZTRHODFK |
I’m not talking corporate greed here, that’s a whole ‘nother subject. I’m saying our collective expectations for what food pricing should be in America is collectively warped.
Why aren’t we okay with paying for the convenience of fast food?
If it’s because the food is bad, you have a plethora of choices including your local burger joint. I will gladly pay $10-15 (the pricing here gets exaggerated too) for a single meal if time is of the essence.
I’ve seen a ton of discourse saying something along the lines of “why should I pay the same amount when I can get a better and healthier meal at a restaurant?” Well, better is subjective and wildly varies by restaurant and while you can order something technically more nutritious it is not going to be healthier (looking at you Chili’s).
I think what we’re really missing is the lower priced pre-packaged food options that are of good quality that some other countries have. I don’t fault us in striving to have those affordable options but a warm meal from an in-house kitchen should be a tier above. | r/unpopularopinion | post | r/unpopularopinion | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jZDlCMDc5NGw0cnlXVUd0aWZmQ0lpY2RSY3loZnpwdmY0Zk1UUVNjc1p6M3hLZVRLdFIzd2Y2TkcwY1gtd3ZDd18zbjA1WU1saFBVdVFnUUFhaFV4SDMzeGVMRGtRdE1uY3ZRQ2U4NzBvVms9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kOENaMjFnV2ZBaUswWGpfaTY4YU1BSXBMeC1UejdRV1dhQzF3YVBkQ0pQeDd0UUlCX3BlOGxTaHFJMUtXc2hRVFEwMnpJVUw4N1N1S09WRjFFcmdkWUtsZUJrRFpaNURuN2tHcXZfYWpieHJWbE8wN3RhNmVqWXc1RkZXUi1ERHJKRVdPMnRMSGRtRmRiYmRQbS1xQ0tyNG9WMGZFMnAxZnUzNmg0U1V6N09LbnBsdE1NcWJnbUJ3UGhnMFNXMTNDUl9DT0lpcDJTUUp1S1RjVng3dDRhUT09 |

I was just thinking about the company Palantir. It’s a tech company that basically makes software to more effectively kill people for militaries. It’s considered prestigious for many CS majors to enter and people are clamoring to work there. But like….why?

I'm so sick and tired of governments fleecing taxpayers to fund the construction of new professional athletic facilities. A few weeks ago, the Oregon Senate passed SB 110 to provide up to $800 million in taxpayer funds to be used to build a baseball stadium in downtown Portland. The legislation raises the cap on taxpayer funding from the $150 million, which was set in place in 2003, to $800 million to partially finance a new stadium that is expected to cost $2 billion. Supporters of the bill hope that the financing will attract a new Major League Baseball team to Portland, although there are no concrete plans to expand or relocate a team to the area.
Any economic activity generated while attending a game, will largely if not entirely be offset by reduced spending on other local leisure activities. When cities play host to major sporting events, many businesses see a decline in revenue because local residents choose to avoid the extra traffic and activity they provide. For example, after Super Bowl 50, restaurant owners in San Francisco reported "[a 40 to 50 percent reduction in reservations and services.](https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2018/11/sports-stadiums-can-be-bad-cities/576334/)" Instead of bringing in additional patrons, the Super Bowl drove patrons away, costing business owners money. With this in mind, federal, state, and local lawmakers and government officials should begin taking steps to reduce opportunities for professional sports leagues and professional team owners to receive billions of dollars in subsidies and bailouts with little return for taxpayers and their local economies. | r/unpopularopinion | post | r/unpopularopinion | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jYUxRVTdTeE95a0JiSWV1UzNsc3pZa29EVWc0cFU4cXpnZzhhcE1WMmNCNmYzQk15VzM0dUNhTk1WV2RxckVpNlpBU1dNblJFbFVEODR2YlVWaFJSNnc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5ka0Z5NDY1eDVOdVdNVGFoSFp6RThJNlJObGZMdVpZTFZhUmtkY0dyeFl0ajBzS05hMnp1cUtSQi1lZDlxOUhlT1o3V2d2YmZrYkhuZ3R0ZGNmQlB5UDBtRFNJeVcwZ0JZZmhBN1Y0N2FHUktPRGtDdFVCMHdfNTFrVFA5a0NqZjRGZWl4M2VWd2g1Wk9NZDhZbjdSWEZnd0dzOEp2UndOVlotY05jakk0UlNkS01xMlR5aXFvajAtazhSMktHUXNrUWhLX3dtZnhrTXVBRjhMVjRzdm4tQT09 |
So my current gf went to the movies the other day. She said she was going with a “group”. We share locations. I notice she walked over to her exs house before and then headed to the movies. At this same time she snapped me a pic of her in a passenger seat. She never stated he was going to be there. She has in the past if there was going to be any sort of contact with him she would let me know and she has. But not this time. So I asked her the next day how was the movie and who all went. She named off a couple of her friends and then him. I was like oh that’s weird. She said they randomly met him there by surprise and asked to join…. We spoke about this recently and I asked her who gave her ride and she said another one of her friends. But I saw the car she was in and it was her exes. I gave many chances to confess and she has not. What can I do in this case. | r/relationship_advice | post | r/relationship_advice | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jQ1dtbW9SMGRYd2xhNm1mZ3ZXaU9TNzY0ZFlON2ZSMnpoNWVyUno4Ny1qX1ZxdDYwdHBjOVAyWjNFSERwNmxPdEdjTjEzTF8wYmNVRnVUZ050X2FQWUE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kdkxWNDg5YlZ5WjdnWGtEYm1qXzdjRFZnWVJjRmk3dFdUSU9rZEZMZ0lMZ3hWSkxFMHc1eVU5OW56cFp0YUZIRzI1cVNFUXc5aTNhY0xyYXN4Wk8waXRlaVZxRm92WXZhM2ROU1pVTjF4dWVaRmV5UUJQRG1TSXF6Qnpybjk4LWtVVGRLMWcxcHVLSmw3Q216WTI2Um1TVmZjelFybklvZWFlQjBTY3VYb1Yza3J1WW9oZHBNV2YxSlhYdmhWeDRl |

Tom is a good lad, i dont believe one can actually picture him going full Connor McGregor towards Jon, it's just not who he is.
His attitude since the beginning has been "hey jon, i got nothing against you personally", which i think is a too friendly of an apporach to sell this fight and intimidate Jones in order to have him actually accepting it.
Anyway, god knows if and when this fight is gonna actually take place | r/ufc | post | r/ufc | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jN0JROVQ5UTlXTlhmemcwOVE2SFM4TzNkLTNEby1UZ0U3Y1JUdm1IUzlXSjBaVDIyZFNDN01xRlowcXVTa1RmX1NkWmpVVlUweU1IOFNaMlJBbV9CcHc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kbk5nbUFlMzBEU2hIM19NeDhBb3Z3RjVDNlR5a1lpWWkxQWgtTVNmQ1d4aFFBV252UVVPUm01RTAzN19GVHdhS2NZcXVnbXVvcnRrQi0xYWo2VUF0emFnOWhOak95QlBSRGFVTzJOOUFRNWFRM3FIVFBvTU5yWXJ6MFo0UWFpZEZ2ZVdYZUhrTmtIU01nc3lYWjQzRF9Ub0NLSnZqajBwQTVDZUdZUzAzeUd3bmJ3ZWE0ekFMYlQzQ1BpWXlTU2U0azFDc3YxbGVVdXRfc3h3TDFIbFdmZz09 |

Please pray for my cat.
My cat has been missing for 3 months and I have been destroyed.I pray every day but I really am losing hope.2 weeks after he went missing I opened the bible and asked God to show me trough that what happened to my boy(who btw is named Lucky,I know it might be "blasphemous" beleiveing in luck but I don t ,I just atribuite it to Him , also when we got him around 5 years ago I was still a kind of "lukewarm" christian).I opened the book and it was the sixth chapter of the book of Daniel,and I interpreted it as in the fact that if He can save Daniel from lions he can also save my cat.I kept praying and praying.Thank you! | r/christianity | post | r/Christianity | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jSmpaUFJNaGJsbFBtSDJVQ2t2TXBoR2FRQllzdWtVQVNYSmUxN1k4R0VEQ2FKTTFYN21aS1lmMG4xQ2J2R0pPOFRsVG0temRWbV9xY0pyTFU0ekVfWHc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kajV3amFHc0V2MHBQWkhNNnkwdUhwQWhSdjJ0VGg5d0lxY3NLUXM1SF96amRzSlNZcnQxYVJCWGVDYUNkSk1YVlhleWp3YmtyM3R0b0hXYXg1eVlWTEpsT0xPTjZ0bndpVHR0UFFQdjVwY1czUURQVFotOGFnQVo5QkEwUDkxWTAxSEVkZGZWMVlZWkRmTV9nV0lnZkpZaFEtNm5CbWNsbmZRckhwanFHd01rPQ== |

My partner and I have been in a relationship for nearly 4 years, and despite being emotionally and physically close, we’ve never once spent the night together. I find this increasingly strange and unsettling, but he insists it’s not a big deal. We're both divorced and in our 50s, we live 2 miles apart. I only talk to him for 10 minutes in the morning and maybe 30 minutes at night. I do see him on the weekends when he isn't busy with his adult children. He at one point asked me to move in, I said yes then a week later he changed his mind. I am still a little salty about that but have tried to work through it. How do you decide when a difference like this points to a fundamental incompatibility? | r/relationship_advice | post | r/relationship_advice | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jeDZJRjk1SW5SRC14TXpvLWRGaFlDZGNKdk83Slp2WDh0VHFac2R3VjJuV2NuTFd0M0dtQjdiUGh0ZkdzM2pQMnEyVkUyUzhqNVE4NGJuR2d5bFAxMkE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kSktBdGtrX3hZSVFGdG05akNjV0Y3VW8xZWZYZFFFVnMwUHJMcVNOeGdDYUEtTGhhUUFLV2tXOUlvYzZMUW5vMG1Ed0lRWHA0TXNuQUtHWGl6azlKRFJ3TzlHd012SWxRZzNqVWJoQ2l1RllUTHdpWnBDSWYzZDVZOWV1VDA0bDFHWnFjSWFmVzk4NFR1SWFxSHVfcFkxb1JaSmZhWHRXSVJ6enNMcXpqYV9wOEdTaHlac3M5U1J6RlQ3Q0x0Q0JVZ0RIakQxVDlBR0JtM3dHUDhJUmF0Zz09 |

Reposting this so newcomers can see where Invincible usually is to avoid confusion. Copying and pasting from a past thread I made:
This post is to maybe somewhat give a more firm idea on where to safely scale the characters in Invincible. I've posted a bit ago on how the Viltrumites were more than city level, so here I am again. You'll see people say the characters are multi-continent level, moon, large planet level, even stuff like solar system level, etc. So I've decided to maybe help give a sense of a common consensus on where the characters scale. What I've done is collect calculations from different websites and different people about the most powerful on screen feats from the mainline Invincible characters themselves to find what was the most consistent scale, and I'm going to give a few of my explanations from my own scaling while also correcting some common misconceptions. And just to avoid confusion, [Invincible crossovers are canon to the Invincible verse, even if they may not be canon to the other crossover verse](https://comicvine.gamespot.com/forums/gen-discussion-1/invincible-crossover-canon-2262961/).

Some of these calcs have been done by the same people. Keep that in mind.
1. The Viltrum Calc.
Most calculations I could find that seemed the most reliable and had the most consistent conclusion reached Small Planet Level. To those that aren't sure what that means, if a single Viltrumite flew full speed into a planet like Mercury, they would fully bust it, but if done against larger planets, it would be more complicated. None of the calcs scale the Viltrumites to the full explosion of the planet due to the context. Now to explain the context of the scene to those that might mislead others that they fully blew up the planet themselves or that Viltrum was small and already going to explode whether the Viltrumites hit or not, etc. Thaedus says, ["if the core has time to stabilize, we could die on impact."](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/2Sk3kP9RQ68R54VHq5fcQmiY81A_CqmsmOM-VK2dNbrEnBSMwqaPq6jEm5N1DxhqamPdTLA3HWhJ=s0) People tend to say he quoted they "would" die, but the importance of him saying they **could** die while ramming into the planet is that they **could** also survive just as much as they **could** die. It's the same as saying people could die if struck by lightning. All we know is that there was an unknown percentage, possibly ranging from 5% to 90%, that they would die if they hit the planet without Space Racer's help. It's a little pointless to argue what could happen or not in a debate, especially since Viltrum is so abnormal of a planet that its core has more similarities to stars than actual planets due to it being destabilized and being able to restabilize near instantly. [We also know the Infinity Ray is an energy wave](https://youtu.be/DbUR9ugb1-I?si=-MHHhfKjo17GKBb_t=10s) meaning it has no mass, so the Viltrumites knocked all of the layers of the planet past Viltrum's ring system
2. The Tick Moon Feat
Just so people don't get confused, Mark crossed over with Tick after the Viltrumite War took place. Mark would throw The Tick into the moon before flying himself into the moon, [deorbiting it](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/a0SpcocSa-2FK75ZwJ7r69nRZd64YNp2EFMFVl74l1nBFpy48OOTkP2jG0UREITGN3wg1ra017V3VhXJjGZrX3FjjKOGQnEj9ig79IrZ98ePkVw9GPB4y6B6Sk0H9QwH4JaLgw672g=s0). The feat when it comes to physical strength scales fully to Invincible and would be consistent with the Viltrum feat. Arguing The Tick is a parody doesn't work when Invincible started out as a parody too. It also matches up with Mark being said to [move](https://www.reddit.com/r/Invincible/comments/1izm18s/comment/mfci7d6/) the moon with [effort](https://ihsoyct.github.io/index.html?comments=1izm18s&id=mfci7d6)
3. Heat Durability
For some strange reason, people tend to think that because Viltrumites and others like them are weak to heat in general or have a weakness to any heat. But that is not the case at all. The plasma from star-level heat essentially supercharges their Smart Atoms, surpassing their durability over time. Besides that, Viltrumites are amazing at casually tanking incredibly hot temps. Mark tanks [lightning\^10](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/k01MKjvEE0vY0Xd2WjmbDnpHRSkp32nY9rhJQR_dz-eX_0aCtPBGYi3Mq4nVjDDb1MTJTirPgmyB=s0) before he even started working out.

4. MFTL+ Speed
Some people may try to lowball their speed, saying they cannot achieve MFTL+ in the atmosphere, it's only travel speed, or that they use space warps to teleport. None of these are correct assessments of their speed. They have MFTL+ travel speed, reaction speed, and combat speed.
4A. **Atmosphere Debunk Part 1, The Handbook**: The people saying they cannot reach this speed in the atmosphere are referring to [this description](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/dc-_tY2Mrs4io4kh9UQDvcepnSPodJQ2e_I4IBKhtq2oSg-r3egI4ku-ah_JtjT6qp12_HDzGhOy8WA-7DoaIH0l_4aACM7wu33R5e2rdtFwaVb0IoH0DrDE2yoGCvtTDUMi4A=s0) (2nd and 3rd paragraphs after Known Superhuman Powers). It says Allen reaching near-light speeds in the atmosphere would cause irreparable harm to the planet, which implies they can, but some refuse to. The issue with this is that people use this to say they cannot fly that fast in the atmosphere, but the handbooks are quite inconsistent and dated. Mostly due to the [plethora](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/4bZIJuOCczbuHqmswwvzFiVVsEcSxZA1VkJwenBKPTlznGvRirjmXt5-Mh5qbVYz_o9tQ4QiMtK_NTQiXfZPqZgK5zAxrhDtOEETVEfHubVOf7WqqM_ubEOPXwalHwHssSBAlw=s0) of [writers](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/Th1nnTLMGSS7wPaSRkaoJP9tP92X2y9o1mbybh8U-sQk1w23bfGVLV-sBTgFQvcMsEp8uoP0EuUN_OLfq_D7paAD5ZMmGLhq8QsaX4bU6xRQOS_9nSS7fXvo73JBHAB25TKouQ=s0) that made it.

[Bulletproof is also said to have regular human strength levels](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/a6RmBxdlzuJuDGfR31ajYi3msAmwpPSHfNVaOP-30TCpIhQWHJxPIIxCmiWVmdfskXEISrFtLfY0GKrRxET-emkMioeb46vN5PYe4MJ8I09eTvjDeooxASXy7gywHy578O9iNg=s1600) (Strength Level) with no indication of his powers augmenting his lifting strength. But the comic itself shows this also inconsistent, as he can lift [cars](https://comicvine.gamespot.com/a/uploads/original/11148/111483657/8097554-bulletprooffeatstrength%281%29.png). They also place Mark's lifting strength at a [higher lifting strength level](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/NgADWs8Pd2Mhcq65LX8KX5YBM-8W__Q3fVQOm2sP_lY3BAlRaefhuhBy_PmXOgSbVG_NVfL70UmiI_tnc4WEjvSc71Mgh3Juudbue6SDqKWrE1EF-QEGGcw-633dyS6AGde3_w=s1600) (Strength Level) than Battle Beast despite Mark losing a fight to him before the handbook was published.

But then again, at the same time, it says [Invincible can tank absolute zero temps and star level heat, though the plasma ions from a star can bypass his Smart Atoms](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/81cUch-wtjBrk-SwOhSpLUD3qR5wV2mOrxl2BjcSgqjB5JEzDPWZXOJ0T127QZI3IlNo1znBlmdWcBP3BgzGRmTCOUQHJ3xyz2LSyUMaKbEjj3BShb2ze8pnzP05E9MjyrNOQg=s0) (1st paragraph on the right), which we see to be true as proven later in the comic.
4B. **Atmosphere Debunk Part 2, The Feats On Planet**: People also like to use Cecil reacting to Nolan as a means to downplay his speed, but we know that Cecil says the teleporter works through an [AI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mr4SPNUzMpI&t=56s) which also explains why [Hail Mary](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEARpsjDKFQ) could teleport. The GDA also used AI to recreate an ancient exorcist ritual that was destroyed [centuries ago](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmIEEvMOXrw&t=44s). It's not controlled by humans unless directly shown like when Debbie was selling Nolan's books and he pressed a button on his wrist. [We also see the teleporter is self-automated](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pv8ennuUmec&t=125s). It also makes sense since Cecil was teleported from out of the way of a shockwave which are faster than human perception. Same with Cecil's tie catching fire which is hypersonic speed bare minimum, yet he was still teleported in time. Amazon also showcases they can scan the biology of aliens, [like Anissa's bone mass and muscle density](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLAqxAhftcQ), or Nolan's [heartbeat and dilated eyes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfYqQGrgF_k) when first meeting both of them, so it's possible the AI could predict his moves if it's not FTL in processing speed. Another reason why the handbook is inconsistent is that we see in both fights with Conquest, Mark and he surpass lightspeed, with Mark flying to save his brother when they both go from full speed in [space](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/p_eDm-CdMSmYEJ8Dy0qrYtjPqScef4uDq_2AND_F3zpGGVL6dvJNJvwbJx0Hf-KYbQ3lSJaOgtAj=s0) into a [planet](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/aCN2kHMKGL0540paA1jx_fiCv-h2fZDWIX9esT8W0pqSYwoMbd0TL7ctlivOyvhR-qgGHsIjNIqr=s0) and the atmosphere is fine. We then see this again when he and Conquest fight across Earth [5 minutes ahead](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/75Sp1wgEBjBlxXS1RWm1iofbI5_uDk_tS8HgOK7c3SgY8Sr1zrSdWpDzz3ILqftoHWSHF7LfqchC=s0) (5th speech bubble lol >:D) of the same satellites that tracked Allen's speed in [entering the solar system and reaching Earth in 12 minutes](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/7b3XmncznqdyCY6sL6enLLhSXZV2a-Y6AqTexqcBAENv1KAcSIX98YxQ0KJJ3CKEWfXbXcrEfV-5=s0) (12th speech bubble lol >:D). The reason I say it was satellites that found Allen is because in the [Amazon series](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6rbebwn-I0), we see Cecil show a blurry image of Allen in space to Mark, which Cecil then says, "12 minutes." We also know Invincible-verse technology is incredibly advanced because an American team of soldiers had a [nuke](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/pw/ADCreHd2fY0ApkrM7Gb3WQ9XXsJFCVBvVEIxR7LOwkxyWLp1Z543Xfy35Lw8_7nqhx1nqOTXeOZz7-3US5NfquOH2sNKnb6SpnS2Z4DRhgz7nA1OZFWtYVw=s1600?rhlupa=MTY3LjcxLjY0LjIyNA&rnvuka=TW96aWxsYS81LjAgKFgxMTsgTGludXggeDg2XzY0KSBBcHBsZVdlYktpdC81MzcuMzYgKEtIVE1MLCBsaWtlIEdlY2tvKSBIZWFkbGVzc0Nocm9tZS8xMjIuMC42MjYxLjk0IFNhZmFyaS81MzcuMzY=) that [created](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/pw/ADCreHc9os8EQLYXLWCTuqUoGI9vSc_AFMAbFVOFFRAqquGm-vGPMAfBKzehxssJ7e6IlPqpj-68xVkqHPcm_3lGqVvCmJJvEWVBURl9jIMCZITgQ7nkDh0=s1600?rhlupa=MTY3LjcxLjY0LjIyNA&rnvuka=TW96aWxsYS81LjAgKFgxMTsgTGludXggeDg2XzY0KSBBcHBsZVdlYktpdC81MzcuMzYgKEtIVE1MLCBsaWtlIEdlY2tvKSBIZWFkbGVzc0Nocm9tZS8xMjIuMC42MjYxLjk0IFNhZmFyaS81MzcuMzY=) a [sizeable hole](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/pw/ADCreHe7TeLjv2WmvTBZph3GY7ApYZcTePHSKINYExXyiA8LEf-TZ67CEWyWZx1gCB3cV85Kbbz0qYWzVnQbl33NFlzuZlR8dLooAA28iPA4DAEBbZ4eMII=s1600?rhlupa=MTY3LjcxLjY0LjIyNA&rnvuka=TW96aWxsYS81LjAgKFgxMTsgTGludXggeDg2XzY0KSBBcHBsZVdlYktpdC81MzcuMzYgKEtIVE1MLCBsaWtlIEdlY2tvKSBIZWFkbGVzc0Nocm9tZS8xMjIuMC42MjYxLjk0IFNhZmFyaS81MzcuMzY=) in a ship that was the size of [EuroAsia](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/TfSAyzXTTNq2JwV-0Z24g07dQzQTED1PPYI4J1a3zRPFLOOXp4p4MVoAh1-ltSHSfxCuf-WOiJO2DolFBwCHUOJauX-Y9ufBEyk1M6jnMkLAparYTsoi6jtJ1oUvT0sWI2W9i9y9jA=s1600?rhlupa=MjYwNDphODgwOjQ6MWQwOjo1YTQ6NDAwMA&rnvuka=TW96aWxsYS81LjAgKFgxMTsgTGludXggeDg2XzY0KSBBcHBsZVdlYktpdC81MzcuMzYgKEtIVE1MLCBsaWtlIEdlY2tvKSBIZWFkbGVzc0Nocm9tZS8xMDYuMC41MjQ5LjkxIFNhZmFyaS81MzcuMzY=).

That's not even getting into the fact that the tech in Invincible made it so that [walking on Mars was even possible](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqKGREZs6-w).

It's not far fetched to see them having FTL+ satellites. We then see them fighting in atmosphere one more time at MFTL+ speeds between Thragg and Battle Beast on [Thraxa](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/9xVjZNBcmy8YtOuCkCZQpCnVtVQGxkvxgqrZRwj5RSo142i8yblG_-Pr3YyKVKsHwGzagpzMMs1d=s0).

Dozens of thousands of times FTL, in which Space Racer would have had to track the Viltrumite through an asteroid field where, in a single second, he would travel ***7 billion miles***. This is consistent with the story since only [two](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/TxWhl86vM2cEk7Fp_Y7vjcTif9HZoNHBepfKGEuxmJoG31tyRf3mwc7FTDxuMkfUWISa_zJ1fVUPbBBH0CRWb9H63Wr67-YEY6YZOosrHdiradyUpK3mO-eqmg02bs-syBTw1NzWNg=s1600) conversations [occur](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/vw09ftA_qyy_UiykkzU9ZG7LY7gI92fOlcRf0DYafQKLAt26cOdM9LQ9JqAw88X6uLwz4n-cKAsnw6ItJm2XCxJ404XGxpsYbMP3_m0qR5LG_Hlbf7amCNyw4zOme00SfsHndEicPQ=s1600) before he reaches the solar system. Despite all this, Space Racer considered the [Thraxa fight](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/lE6TqCkKDCjNEjT-NFtmRARmU9Y10Pj-gKf--z__xJw9cSf9Ur0tbNaccd0VR9a0j0Hn3i4cERjZ=s0) "rapid" and even too erratic to tell who was winning and that he couldn't even join if he wanted to despite keeping pace with MFTL+ speeds in an asteroid field (4th speech bubble).
4C. **Only Travel Speed Debunk**: First things first, Mark says [the more he holds back, the slower he moves](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/M2WkoeCwBzCKHlLmHoxQPvh6n9M03EuOfJC7kWSAL4pPLhtENv5vyq8wVjPjMrcvb3MSDzEPpUhT=s0) (13th speech bubble). No other character on Mark's level has any speed anti-feats. I have no idea where people got the idea that they needed to build up speed too. That's something the fandom made up. For readers that don't want to read through the long list of speed feats I linked at the top with the calculations, a few of the examples I gave in the above paragraph were also examples of MFTL+ combat speed. Besides those, Thragg is able to [react to and counterattack](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/z9P6AfkXpLEsba6j3QYXJOaBpvuZDcM15Jr7QUcrgGutWIFy_QaRddLKVNgl_COTMctbRfmvCPcP=s0) Nolan flying at him at full speed to save his son from him while Thragg is [stationary](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/HiIO8lRuJv0_TqkV-dP_qzjLV3F7vrGt74iH-ntqrqLHuNRUUnd5HS7D8kz6BcVgAycAKhr5n5ht=s0). At this point in the story, Nolan is faster than Mark, as shown [here](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/PnE5ZPhZPYS-9Sx9gZsrfUZeiG30tPDYwTPLoNNF9nGqSXa2eaDmxmIupv_mtxiIKbioFAbmYvRU=s0) (2nd speech bubble), who can outspeed a starship that can go from Earth to Talescria in a [week](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/8UbSUeekdfsyuDRO1kzBhvAsjg9V_MAQsl24nFFBEr9CYNx4PBdQa6xJ1C1dWfY6Lsw6rlImJgr4=s0) (3rd speech bubble), which is in [another galaxy](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6flaNPLbZMKSToZ48-_GLobDBQnLaZCodTMmcjsVKzIPLS2YHEO6zbPl-Sslz3eFcGOauu2qD-e=s0) (6th speech bubble). Mark can [freely move himself through physical space, giving him the ability to fly, can literally push off anything, and can create his own leverage](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkb0DzLDEMw&t=159s). All of which means he wouldn't follow conservation of momentum laws, meaning his own natural speed is instantly faster when he hops out of the starship. The Infinity Ray also outsped Mark, due to the other Viltrumites keeping pace but Mark falling behind. And yet Thragg still does [this](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/X4W6keg_lDEUVfvUc-sChm1WtLBrMu1BoK51YwZSKSZowINnkVqdFpC0-tZrh5Zl639j2tQsvP9COCm4Qw99cwkjWgaCrGdecYRgTZZk1FkkpGu9F_YcXvSw7qu65-2E7UDEYcbgrg=s0) while fighting.

4D. **Space Warp Debunk**: This argument comes from the handbook again, saying Viltrumites and other characters reach superliminal speed by "teleporting."

6. 37 Viltrumites Tearing Earth In Half Statement
Thragg makes the statement that 37 Viltrumites were left from the war, but they were still more than enough to [tear Earth in half](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/x5NNHZFVw83FLnuvWtTgEY_NAURb_V13ANM81onyvnCiE-g5tTGWdn6mBaV0CIIRVb4M-ARhs7Ci=s1600) (8th speech bubble). He even says some were weakened and injured. Thragg is pragmatic and says the act of the planet being torn in half would kill every living being there while Mark and Nolan would be unable to stop that action from happening. He also says it would be fair retribution for Viltrum exploding; keep in mind that they do not have any Infinity Rays to destabilize anything. We see this statement would also place the average Viltrumite as small planet level.
If you have been unsure or want to settle a debate on where to place the Viltrumites in power and speed, they have consistently shown Small Planet Level strength and MFTL+ speed on multiple occasions. Share with others if you feel like they need clarification. | r/powerscaling | post | r/PowerScaling | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jcVpWRXV2MnExSm1UMFh5bmROSC13ajZCSFo5X3dIVGRodklsMDhJbUFCRnZiVEVDcm1saWpLT2o0blpLU016MEY4MGh3N2V0c2dJcmhwaTNPSTRjaGRYZzV4X3F0QjE2clFUTjBIVHA1ajg9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kamhqN0ZueUIxRHRBLWY3bllyeXlKYVRadGVLTlhwMEVjeDBIZFp6czc1YmZzcVhxY0I4bUh4dzNLOWhMV0VucEVSRlk0SlF1dDhoaU05T3hWQ21nMUxsc0VpbmNhOHBqbU9zWi02blN3NG1Fc0xxSkc0cjl1Rl8td1JjRUctbXlhNC1fSW5iR0ZLUGNUdlZqeVpmMFhZU0RDclpOVENwaFJ0bnpvbW9pZk0waHBkYU53S01abG5jUm96ak5zUWJmNUNjU3Y1TWFzN2hDVzFhNTNGbVVKZz09 |

Wedding photos are emotional and personal, not editorial shots for magazines. Making it look like you were the only people in the room, or someone was standing there, or you made a different face, is weird because that moment never actually existed. I don’t get the point of creating fake pictures that never actually happened. | r/unpopularopinion | post | r/unpopularopinion | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jUE1rcldhS2IzbC1HWXhoX1pkWjd3el9KNG5sZkNoWDZDR0pHdXBFRjdxbEVQdGwteWxTUEtLR3lvQWVWd19leFdrbjF2Ty1yY3dERmZ1bHpBanhQcEE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kVHdfejZ5Y01KNmZMeENsc1NKcnhxaVVRc2dyNUxJT0FFOENXS2h2WHVxVTVJRVZ6aWhuc3NYVGlLWEVBRkRqcmhZeE02dmFnQWVySXg4c3dRT3pBWTRwaThBQWxYU1ZMazZZenBYZW40cnloRVdiM0lOMEFDeTlmdjAweldRaGh1WGxleWxNbHJMQmp1R3Y5OG5WRVI4bmNUTzM2alhfczRLWVdiNEJRdVlpVkhxbThEcDRXLVhTUm5ad1Q0aFdzajRPY3cxeldBc2U5ZERpYllMdURoZz09 |
ive deleted all social media bcs i was wasting too much time on it, but sometimes i scroll reddit as ive been told its the best social media. One of things i miss the most about other social medias is being able to comment or write something without everyone immediatley acting like i kicked their fkn dog or somethng... like i swear twitter is hailed as the worst and you cant say anything or ppl will b mad !!!! but i never really experienced that on twitter or tt or bluesky but literally say anything on here... why is everyone so bitter and rude
Edit: plz dont start ranting abt "blue haired liberals" or whatever. Im specifically talking abt aggressive responses to mundane comments/questions/disagreements.

> "We'll consider moving our first pick if it's for a player that is going to make a difference on our team."
> "When July 1 comes, I mean, we're not very often on top of the players list."
> Elias Pettersson (EP40) has left Vancouver, thinks he's gone back to Sweden. Says Petey stayed in Vancouver for an extra week and was working hard everyday.
> Jim Rutherford says Canucks have offered Tom Willander the "same as what the 11th overall pick got last year."

Hello, hello!
My account got banned for almost a week, but I'm back with a Friday Offer. >:]
I wanna info dump about my characters, but realize that might seem a bit boring. So I'm here to offer a head or bust shot doodle of your character in exchange for a little interest!
Do keep in mind asking a question doesn't guarantee a drawing. For instance, a question like, "What's their zodiac sign?" might not peek my interest compared to a question like, "What's the theme/goal of [Insert Character]?"
Also, also! The questions can be directed at the characters or at me (the creator). You can also feel free to ask more than one question if you'd like an extra doodle, I don't mind.
Lastly, I'm currently kinda going through art block...which is why these are doodles and not actual sketches, so please keep that in mind!
Thank you for reading! | r/originalcharacter | post | r/OriginalCharacter | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jdW1BaGZtR1R2T3hwWVNKYmJjVGlRQWwzYkJnWDU2cnl6M3piLXB5cTJ4LXE0LTU0R0pMME1pdWVSQzZwMjJydy0wd0NJTXRXOUxsMUJOT216eHhBTGc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kdkh2Zks0OVUtUTh0NHJpcFl0ZGVFb2NEWVhjeTctQ1FiUHZNU19oYlBkbGZpdE1YQWw4eE1MTDh1VWRlU0VydmUwOXpocWdQY0UxYjAycWtJQkRLeGhaUjlsX3gtQ1B1NFRZaTRRdVZtbW1sWjNZX1ZFOEV6dTJ0Nkl2U2ZDTXFVM2NDSFJhN080MUNPcXhYSWNLNm52ZUJvVTc4bEdmTXA1Y3NLeEYzM1ZMdlBVTndQZW1HdXByWGxpbVh6ZS1YdUYzS0lqXzZFYnRsdVZaVFlIMVNkUT09 |

Our sweet and playful kitty Sir Paul McCatney was diagnosed with large cell lymphoma in his chest about 3 weeks ago…. He’s such a funny kitty - stealing our socks, pouncing on us from behind the couch, chasing the cat wand tirelessly, having WWF Smackdown with our other cat, sleeping directly on our chests, falling off the windowsill, trying to escape and then remembering he is deathly afraid of grass…….💚💚💚 So much love for our kitty here, and we will miss him so very very much, and so much sooner than we ever thought. His prognosis, at the very best (with 4-5 months of chemo) is 18-24 months left. The average is 6 months to a year. We are doing our best to keep him happy, he is still cuddly and playful and the vet oncologist says he is doing really well so we are hoping beyond hope that he can feel good and be his happy silly self for as long as possible. ANYWAY if y’all can send him pawsitive thoughts and lots of virtual pats I know he would very much appreciate it!!! | r/cats | post | r/cats | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jazdEWXhNUmNwclM4bGp2bmRUeUd3ZkJ3aDhRSEJqVDdmUUJLZnplclQtdU84UFdBSmkzMWM2cDE2THdVWUZqV1A1Y1JiRGxTak1UdkVaUy13cGt3amc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kd1hjUTI3RXRvQXhFUEduWndKb3VCQTJZbnk2ckNqZkFZOV9sRTEwcU1IcDV1RHBnNHRzY1dnamZlWHJ1RUVIZW1PM1AyLW9PNTlERmZuM0VLaFhJbkxYd3RwaDE4QnJMU3NjbnBCbVc1QVpXOW1ZTmlHa2ViWWdFS1dpeHEtZnZIOTdGOEw4cDRLcmRraGc0S2xBMU5iZmhhSi1QQWEyNWVWVTM3cGRqWlphRVJNd2NoUk9Ed0MybWlOYjVSTG1I |
I have heard someone asks as to "Why do you like watching shows/movies that include so much killing ? Do you enjoy watching people killed or violence in general ?"
I know that's a story, and that we get to explore a character journey or emotions and there is so many thing to it. But I can't put a coherent answer for them in words, it's like I just want to say "It is what it is, it's the character, the world, the story..." Ahh....
I just want to know how would you explain this to someone ?
Thank you, and have a good day !! | r/movies | post | r/movies | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jdE1SUTZOZ1BXbkFWeFRELVZfbjRLX001a2p3RC01aktUSXpSWnI4amtISFMtUXZqNTBEMVA2RHZwSzNFbUl6Tmx5TV9ycVR3WE9lS1hlX1ZUOXJ6eFZ4LUVFTnR2bVFlYkRVd0RrdGZQRXM9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kSGFYTHFBRk80TWFFSk9qeG9NTTFTUVpxaWk0cE56WjRMc2lhT0h5MFlqNjJnNXl6Nk5XUFFRZm1SdlZPYmZlYXNIOFYtcUx1UEtqczFoSUFOS185U1dfQkEwd1hQZVI4M1Bhbk1IVXFjVERldVNqbkxWOUhjWi1XMFpmd19xZmMzdWx6aHp4SHdzUFhTZWc3NEFpa1ZjREtyQVA1M2pyRGRNdG5oc1NCcU1NTjNXcENRN0Vwb2k1Vy1XRzQtdjV4 |
So basically my whole life Ive eaten pre-packaged food except for a couple years in college where I had a meal plan. Stuff like Hamburger Helper, Suddenly Salad, things of that nature. Frozen perogies, even frozen meatballs for spaghetti. Its unhealthy. So unhealthy that even eating taco bell and a meal hall feast routinely, I actually lost weight in college since till then veggies and salads were an afterthought.
Now Im back at home and my dads disabled and old, so he still struggles to cook for himself. Id like to start cooking meals for the household. The problem is I have no idea how to shop for weekly meal plans. How do you decide? Like....what kinds of things do you keep stocked/on hand in the house vs what you buy as needed? Im totally lost. The only time I ever cooked ingredients meal prepping was when I lived alone for a bit without a meal plan and I ate the same thing all week till it was gone and was eating off like 30 bucks a week. Thats not ideal for my dad/sister who also lives here.
So I guess Im asking how to become an ingredients household?
Edit: Thanks everyone! Its scary, Ill admit that. But I think everyone in this house is going to be better off if I take the L and take over cooking and shopping despite also doing a lot of the cleaning and also working. My dads retired which is why he was the cook and shopper - he was always available. But sometimes you gotta step up when needed and thanks to your advice I think I can.
Edit 2: thanks everyone again! Ive got enough tips I think! Ive saved some of your comments for future reference and even if I didnt reply to you I did read your comment and appreciate it! | r/nostupidquestions | post | r/NoStupidQuestions | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jMGowM1ZlTVgydWxoUmU2YWNyUzVGTUJpeXBKeEJoaTgxYmlLbWp0WGxMNWVza3l2M056LU42a3VDbVZvTWJUeWlRaWc3U3NCZ3RhVS1vYmtWOVNYT0xES0p2VWJnZEd4TWgzLU5zVUhfdGc9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kc0s1YUJiZWE4VFJkbTJ6RjVSTjZzd290RWl6dEVCSkt4TnItUUpGWlRYeWlpZks2bE1RMlNrNjQ3d0RJUjBZT0M0cFFzeDZJU1A1OWhlSUdwaTBoTHoxa0N4RHJ3dlJqSHVWY254VWFuSm5YWUJJZnY1WTVLUXRBZlJlSFBNaTZxM0psU1RkZks1YzR3R0lHeno2Q3RzMmkwX2RtcDhmckNhbHpybmJKRlZfWV9xME84eWZaMVJ3SktDWmp3SDNwYUpiOVBWYkJVdFJKdnAwNEwyMVBDUT09 |

Why it matters: Japan is the largest foreign holder of U.S. Treasuries, and even the vaguest hint that it could dump those holdings is powerful leverage with the administration. Following through on the threat could cause interest rates to spike.
Catch up quick: Japanese Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato said Friday that the country's $1.13 trillion in Treasury holdings were a "card on the table" in trade talks, The Associated Press reported.

Bargain Chinese retailer Temu changed its business model in the U.S. as the Trump administration’s new rules on low-value shipments took effect on Friday.
In recent days, Temu has abruptly shifted its website and app to only display listings for products shipped from U.S.-based warehouses. Items shipped directly from China, which previously blanketed the site, are now labeled as out of stock.
Temu made a name for itself in the U.S. as a destination for ultra-discounted items shipped direct from China, such as $5 sneakers and $1.50 garlic presses. It’s been able to keep prices low because of the so-called de minimis rule, which has allowed items worth $800 or less to enter the country duty-free since 2016.
The loophole expired Friday at 12:01 a.m. EDT as a result of an executive order signed by President Donald Trump in April. Trump briefly suspended the de minimis rule in February before reinstating the provision days later as customs officials struggled to process and collect tariffs on a mountain of low-value packages.
The end of de minimis, as well as Trump’s new 145% tariffs on China, has forced Temu to raise prices, suspend its aggressive online advertising push and now alter the selection of goods available to American shoppers to circumvent higher levies.
A Temu spokesperson confirmed to CNBC that all sales in the U.S. are now handled by local sellers and fulfilled “from within the country” as part of the company’s efforts to improve service levels. It said pricing for U.S. shoppers “remains unchanged.”
“Temu has been actively recruiting U.S. sellers to join the platform,” the spokesperson said. “The move is designed to help local merchants reach more customers and grow their businesses.”
Before the change, shoppers that attempted to purchase Temu products shipped from China were confronted with “import charges” between 130% and 150%. The fees often cost more than the individual item and more than doubled the price of many orders.
Temu advertises that local products have “no import charges” and “no extra charges upon delivery.”
The company, which is owned by Chinese e-commerce giant PDD Holdings, has gradually built up its inventory in the U.S. over the past year in anticipation of escalating trade tensions and the removal of de minimis.
Shein, which has also benefited from the loophole, moved to raise prices last week. The fast-fashion retailer added a banner at checkout that states, “Tariffs are included in the price you pay. You’ll never have to pay extra at delivery.”
Many third-party sellers on Amazon rely on Chinese manufacturers to source or assemble their products. The company’s Temu competitor, called Amazon Haul, has relied on de minimis to ship products priced at $20 or less directly from China to the U.S.
Amazon said this week following a dustup with the White House that it considered showing tariff-related costs on Haul products ahead of the de minimis cutoff. It’s since scrapped those plans.
Prior to Trump’s second term in office, the Biden administration had also looked to curtail the provision. Critics of the de minimis provision argue that it harms American businesses and facilitates shipments of fentanyl and other illicit substances on the claims that the packages are less likely to be inspected by customs agents.

I played in a charity scramble yesterday and it was my second time attending this event so I was really excited since the vendors from last year were all really cool and gave out some cool freebies and LOTS of free drinks. We even placed 2nd last year so I was definitely looking forward to it again this year. Half of our original team were busy so we had a slightly different team with not as good golfers so I didn't have high hopes of placing again but was still excited to take work off and play.
The format was a shotgun start with 2 teams on each hole and each team played as a 4-man scramble. We got to the 18th hole (our first hole) and greeted the other group starting behind us on 18, proceeded to tee off and started off strong making birdies every other hole for the first few holes. After a bit, we got to a par 3 that was a little backed up so we watched the group behind us. They hit an approach to 30-40 feet, then took turns putting until one of them made it (at least 2-3 tries per person), then picked up their marker.
Obviously this was a huge red flag to me as an experienced player but I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt since this was a charity event and there weren't any monetary prizes for placing as a team, only a plaque. Maybe they wrote down par but just wanted to practice putting since it was backed up, I really don't know but it didn't feel right. My team was clearly annoyed because they assumed the other team was cheating but I told them not to think too much of it and to just play our game and have fun since we were doing well anyway.
A couple holes later, we finished up a par 5 and a few minutes later they ended up greenside in 2 shots. We weren't really paying attention to what they were doing but they finished the hole and walked up and told us they chipped in for eagle. At that point I knew they were cheating because there was 0 reaction to chipping in. I don't know about you guys but if I chip in, let alone for par, I'm celebrating especially if it's a team event. But it was dead silent over there, not even a peep. They said they chipped in for another eagle on another short par 4 later in round as well. I forget which hole, but they were talking to a vendor as we were leaving the tee box and they said something along the lines of "we got this in the bag" and that's when my team really got upset. We didn't want to say anything to stir the pot since, again, winning the scramble doesn't win anything of value but we were the only ones who were able to see the cheating first hand so we were definitely annoyed.
Fast forward to the award ceremony. My team scraped together a 62 (-10) which was amazing on our end. We all stepped up when we needed to and we felt like we had a good chance to place 2nd again. Well, turns out another group also shot 62 and for some reason there wasn't a tie-breaker so we left empty handed. No 3rd place either. Bummer. 1st place ended up shooting 58 or 59 which was really impressive but not impossible. As everyone was congratulating the 1st place winners, the group that started behind us on 18 started complaining to the host that they shot whatever they shot and they should be the winners (probably wrote a 49). The host straight up said (mic in hand for everyone to hear) with the BIGGEST SMILE on her face, "It's highly unlikely you guys got a perfect score on every hole when no other scorecard looked like that. You can talk to me about this later." The fact that they got DQ'd because they were dumb enough to put birdies/eagles on every hole was SO SATISFYING., especially since it was all for a participation trophy. Watching them get DQ'd like that was honestly our group's victory. Big props to the host as well for calling them out without us having to say anything!!

The Prestige and Inception in particular, I can watch them anytime, anywhere, and never get bored.
Every single time I rewatch, there’s something new to catch, some subtle detail I missed before, or a fresh way to interpret a scene. They’re not just great stories, they’re great experiences too, that evolve a with each viewing.

A while ago, I posted on here asking for help hitting on men. First, thank to all of those who contributed to that conversation. I took most of the advice regarding the direct approach, and after striking out a quite a few times, I finally landed a date. The first date went really well. I got to see more of his personality, learn he has solid sense of humor, and he has really kind disposition about himself. He seems like a genuine, great guy. We got along so well that he invited me out to a second date. On the second date, he said something to me I was not expecting. I jokingly asked him how would he have spit game if I never approached him first. He paused a minute, then told me that if I never approached him, he would’ve never asked me out/hit on me because he thought I was “gorgeous” and “out of his league”. I’ve never heard a man say that to me before, and it kind of mixed my feelings. Although I was/am extremely flattered he found me attractive, it did hurt my feelings because if I’m as attractive as you think I am, and you would have wanted to get to know me, then why wouldn’t you have shoot your shot first and given me a chance? Is this a common sentiment shared amongst men? What makes a girl “out of your league” if you never spoke to her before?!

I think Charlotte is in the bottom 3 in terms of irrelevant franchises in the league. They don't really get Nat'l tv games and most people just don't care about Charlotte.
Would a household name like Cooper Flagg be enough to spark interest with this franchise or will they still be a non factor Nationally? | r/nba | post | r/nba | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jdmVjWUIyRlNROG9BUnRvXzY1Y3o3RFlFT0J5enl0Qmpobkpha0pILWRzaW5jaTJ0RnBuLWQ4SkJjbzNmcUp0dU5ZeVlwb1Q2bXI2LXpqRUVZNXotYlE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kMTRyVlJPbkdBTEM1MU9hREFGMHpUXzYtMGpRWWpIUmpGcVhEaE1RYTdoa19XcG5pRk0zRHB4ZVlSYzJQRG5FRmpIWjgzcWNFMnZDSlJJdWxZMEZzeGVOODYydUw5MXRnSGF1YXRxaE82ZkRPM2xhQVlMdFNFUXMwT2xDOXpyaS1OUW5CeXMzVFNwM0x1WjlWNm5jQXN3VWNkVWNpazdMU0FyZWp1MkZvTnNIRlJidDM1MUVsck9NVUhhZUxiZHRm |
I had 4 close friends growing up from middle school. We did everything together until HS graduation. I was the poorest, dirtiest kid in the crew from the wrong side of the tracks. I was the "Kenny" of our group. Getting close to 54yo(m) and thought to share where we ended up at the last I knew.
Graduated HS in '89. I'm the only one who went to and finished a BA. Make a good living in healthcare tech, have the house, the cars, etc...you know "the life" I guess of a suburban person, still in my first marriage.
Closest friend ended up being a deputy in the town we grew up in and has a gaggle of kids. Seems much happier with his second wife. He was the one who we all thought would be successful, educated, but he struggled for many years until finding his way in his mid 30's.
Another ended up in the midwest as a nurse the last I heard. Married and divorced a couple of times and practices martial arts which was always his first love.
Number 3 worked construction. Big, strong dude. Not the smartest but man he had the funnest attitude and helluva good guy. I think he's still in his first marriage but got hurt OTJ and ended up somewhat disabled. Think the last I heard they took the money and bought a campground to rent to people?
Number 4 ended up in prison. Didnt know until well in my 30's that he was gay. He kept it hidden from everyone and when we finally met up I told him it was fine and we were still friends. Then a few years ago, he's found guilty of trying to entice a minor and was sentenced to the state pen. Never thought I'd have a friend who ended up in prison. Kind of mind blowing.

Ant just posted this video talking about the first round, behind the scenes conversations, the trash talk, how he is preparing etc. At one point he was talking about his conditioning in the conference finals and why he watches a lot of Luka film. It's cool to see how much Ant admires Luka and tries to learn from him. Luka has been getting a lot of hit pieces written on him lately, but he really has some of the best IQ in the league.
Full quote:
>"I won't lie, I have been watching a lot of Luka tape...he runs isos a lot but also pick and roll a lot and he manipulates \[the defense\] until he gets the shot he wants a whole bunch of times and I'm like bruh how he do that? Just learning the reads that he makes from reading the low man to being able to throw the pass to Big Ru or hitting the corner to Mike or Jaden. So I watch a lot of Luka because he makes the defense do what he want to do and I gotta learn that a little more."
On the biggest thing he learned from the playoffs (7:36):
"You gotta be in shape. It's not something you can train for until you go through it though. You can't train for playing in June if you haven't done it. Now you know how to train for it. Now I see why all those people were missing all those games...I had no legs in the conference finals, I had nothing. First day of shootaround after we beat Denver, I knew it was ugly. I was shooting and I had no lift on my jumper, I was thinking 'yeah this finna be ugly'. We'll be back though."
A funny nugget at the end of the video (11:33):
>'There was someone in the front row yelling "you are 0 for 11!'" and I said "and y'all finna lose...go home. Beat the traffic." 😂 | r/nba | post | r/nba | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jaGhfY2RTZ2FLSzRhOFZaWmU2c2hTTWI3MnlHY2pOcnFEZVAzRnJGVjEwVVNJNjBJazFPZnNfYUlHRmFzLTNNVld1Q2w3SzlwQ3R3S0dmck9TWkdFNTRhQjMteTRWb3RHSVNKU1ByMWptcU09 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kalpkamNJSnZoemRWb1doOFhaNGZBdEVKUGZQeURqcEFFbmxJcUlUcl92QmRNbEsxZlBNTEdPbF94ZFV4YzluVFZYUGtqTC1zVXVYRHdXS2I1M2Y5aGdudEJLbVotX2NPQWI1cjhjT055NXlneFhZRWU1TG4wY0RwVUNWX1NiYURrNUhIcUx6bDQ1M1RWUGtuOTBCNE5PNEc1cXJWSmhVby05ZmVnNW4wTnB3Uk5xZ09NUm9IMVNveU5rZW5rUW9I |
Just to add some context to recent discourse. Some people only use free throw rate or raw attempts when this is clearly the best stat to use.

Like at the very least, the first Zootopia had an open-ended ending that could have led to a franchise, including a possible episodic police procedural TV show, complete with its own romantic subplot between Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde. Plus, Z2 is made by the same people who made Z1 except for Rich Moore, and had been in production since 2017.
Nearly every other Disney sequel felt unnecessary, especially Moana 2, which was originally a Disney+ TV show made by a different team other than the original M1 team, before becoming a movie sequel anyway. Frozen 3 and 4 and Toy Story 5, probably even more so than Moana 2, despite them intending to be full movies from beginning to end, rather than originating as TV shows like Moana 2. Especially since Toy Story ended after the third movie, and Frozen had been so overexposed at that point, that it just further highlights how much we need more Zootopia to balance nearly all of that out, especially Z2. | r/unpopularopinion | post | r/unpopularopinion | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jRmd4MkF2WmJtVEtCcXZEZWVqV2JFRFk2NmVvV2FKQ2JPMWVmWnktMTcxODJUUVBBNy1MUjgxLUlqRTNwbG9iSVlMR20yM2wxekVxdDd4a0VRV2RyZElpV0dHLVQ2SE1seWMtekl5THF2OTg9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kajNpZEhkRWYtZGxVcGRnMmhZbVd5OFFDVHkyS1dGLU1taTBjVWpUbjdybGpjcUxPZTFJYjJtb3UyYk14SHhxOXNHRllNX2lRblN1MHhxOUJzNU1aRFplZFVLX21oeVpzdTc2b2pWWWNnX1BablplY3VjSzN6b21KQWVzODgwWHZLMUpmSm5jUEdHTUk1elR0VnlORl9VYnVKNlVlT3VuMzlqd1E4ZVpCSnRXQVBWR2lEeGxaSDl0NW5wZVhZVHlrV0NHOVV3SFNlMzItMG1VdlF5RURYUT09 |
This is truly the most complicated situation I have ever been a part of in my life.
Leaving things vague will likely make some parts of this situation a bit difficult to understand, but I will keep out details as I fear this post could find its way to the gaslighting manipulator that is my guy's boyfriend. I might answer some questions about specifics in DMs.
I am completely serious and devoted to this guy. I love him in a way that feels so much deeper and wider than I have felt before. I just cherish and adore him so. I wish for him to feel safe, secure, and truly deeply loved, celebrated always in everything he does in life. I truly don't care if he finds that with me, the only thing I need is to see him feel loved. He truly deserves the world. Seeing him loved and happy is the only thing I want. I will always love him, prioritize him, care for him. Always.
He is a sweetheart who has a history of drawing in abusers and manipulators. He doesn't know how sweet he truly is or everything that he deserves. He has a terribly skewed poor self-image and they take advantage of that. He is aware of his pattern of finding partners who treat him poorly, but only truly in hindsight once those relationships are over.
The thing is, his manipulative gaslighter of a boyfriend got him to get back together with him recently. The context and history is complex. I am choosing to exclude those details as they're very identifiable. The gist is, a reasonable person would understand why this happened if they knew the full context. He told me to look for someone else after this. But I told him I was staying by his side.
I know I am the one person in his life who does the most to take care of him mentally bar none and I wasn't going to let him go without that support especially when he has a LOT of things causing him stress in life. He is such a giver to so many people in his life. He knows it, but it's difficult for him to stop. He needs someone to look after him for once.
His boyfriend has a history of cheating and lying about it. He belittles and manipulates. As a third party, it is very obvious. My guy is frustrated by some of it, but I don't think he's quite catching onto every way he's been manipulated or how unacceptable it is; he makes excuses for people he loves. His frame of reference are partners who have been even worse to him. He still speaks positively about his boyfriend (that he cooks for him, stays with him despite seeing his lows, remains calm, understands his neurodivergent quirks and issues, etc.) despite his past actions and lies.
I look at the situation and am so sad for him. He deserves so much better. He deserves to feel completely secure in knowing he is loved by someone who will choose him and his happiness always.
So my question is, what got you to the point to be able to leave a manipulative cheater for good? I don't think I'm enough of a neutral party to be able to directly tell him about all the issues with his boyfriend. I am trying to support him the best I can by giving him a quiet, gentle love and knocking down false negative views he has of himself (I wonder where those come from…). He is always so sweet and expresses his appreciation for me nearly every day; I don't want anyone to think of him as someone who takes me for granted. He has also taught me that I am allowed to expect more with how he treats me like no one else has.
He initially established the rule that we weren't going to flirt anymore, and I was following that to respect him but he has failed quite miserably at following his own rule. So he's not letting his boyfriend control his actions completely at least. He's broken up with him twice before and he's still young, so I have hope he will, if not quite today, at least one day find an unselfish love. But I still worry about the worst – that he never experiences that because of the patterns he's fallen into. | r/relationship_advice | post | r/relationship_advice | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jUDJMNkN2SHI2b2hjVml2dUhkVXFiVnBOX1hQWG5PREY4YUM0NVRCdDM1SUFucFJ4czVsTWF6UjBOcUxrbm9xUHJoU25BVkx2aGVpMXJpYm1CRFF5QTAtenFTOHlWMDY5cTdzTVJHRFB4NFk9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kclBZUUJBclNxenJBV1NIUUdZaDQybXQybmQ3YWFwcVZwQ05GTFUyejFGZnJZeFJZanJxWlZsRWVNZ09jZUVJbnNqaEcwaVNGNnFNNTRFTTJhYjJtQmlaR3ozODljeWZXUGk3UnFmbUNtbkdYZm02emZlX1g1amM5cmFtbklZVGJ4ZGpyMzVzaHI4MU45MnoxUWJFWExTd0x6WGlHVGk3Q1RQYmIwTEY0MXVhcGVwTG82bXBCUUF1aHFWVzh0ZGZtcnQ3dVJEcy1ab0REakMxbl9fYnd5Zz09 |

Set in Los Angeles, the film tells the story of William Foster, a disgruntled, unemployed defense worker who abandons his car in the middle of traffic and goes on a violent rampage trying to reach his family for his daughter's birthday. Martin Prendergast, a retiring police officer starts solving the puzzle to stop Foster's terrorist acts.
On its release, the film received mixed reviews, with some praising the performances from Douglas and Duvall, while criticizing the film's violence and tone. It grossed $96 million against a $25 million budget, taking the top spot at the United States box office in its first two weeks of release. In later years, the film has gained a cult following, with many citing it as Schumacher's best film, as well as one of Douglas's best roles. The film has since continued to be analyzed for its themes of the class system, economic pressures, and mental health. | r/movies | post | r/movies | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jUkdtYmlmSGkyNlU4OGxfbWdadmRIbDJzZWQyb21EOTlpMElYQVJncWR2SF8wc1YyRVllMGktQnI2Y1ZlbHhaSlR3ODEtZk9lR3ZQa1FxNWc1MGM3ZEpnTklacEw1TTN4aldyOWgwRGpXZkE9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5keXdTb0xENDNGcHF3S3Y2M3k0TEVTRG9XeGk3amdaeW1PenZrbFZyNWxtRU0wVWhzSTJpRURDQXF1YkMtY25hdllieEZGS3VhY0ZWRGZCQm9OaEh2b0tHNEFSLWZJaWdGWjJVcllla3VUVm5qSHhPUUtnZHFDTWFMeGl6R01UQ003Ukd6RVBlQVhCQ1VMZHUyQm92NGxJOW1Nd1FTQ2hZUEJRdDJJM0Ruc3hpcTBGODRRTElzRS13MGh1aF9lR0ZaZDI3bTFUXzZNSXJKcmxCNk5YUHdpUT09 |
They really need to work on their strategy for the second driver. This is not the first time this is happening. I do not remember specific instances but I remember more than one instance of Perez being upset with how they always put him in traffic thereby ruining his lap during qualifying. It was the same case with Tsunoda today during sprint qualifying. | r/formula1 | post | r/formula1 | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jcDBWcFctNjZqc0l2d2hVVlJrRUxZRFhrTHU2OFNYME1uSTdPdjIySmJ5UWY5VUpoN0Mta1BRai15R045YXdPeG4wRHR3anp3cTRQTmxfZXdsQVdBV0E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kdTZWb3hieWRqZmkwZkpKdHRKdHhtVkx3TzlKc1I0RHVzUmxFSVBKcnAyNW5QSUdnR2VKMVF2TmZwYkxhVmFxOVVxQ2kxb1FIdUVNd05wVlZrdU96Rjdzc1RlRTBlaE01T1U4ZWk0UHRDakVKMWFOMzZtWkZuV05jTnk0enJ0Yk80U1ZjeTRscGQ5Wmp1VDJBNzh6YW80R3ROSHFkbC1SZ0xydmhEdWFwSGNNYWxLYWFpekJiaTlSTFNUSkFWdWR6S0YwZVVQRkhtR2RRZm9OY05PX3kxZz09 |
I'm looking for some advice or direction, and thought this was a good place to start. I (F28) have been with my partner (M30) for almost i years now. We just recently moved in together and it seems the flame is sort of... diminished? I am looking for advice to spice up the bedroom. I am not as experienced clearly i have been with the same guy for a while now and most of my time during college. What are some things I could try, anything sexy I could say to get him going? This feels so embarrassing writing but I don't really know where to go from here.

Just got back from my first trip to Bandon with seven friends. Thought I'd give the TLDR report, especially for people who have never been or are on the fence.
First thing, right off, the bat, a bit about me / friends: I am from Ohio, lived in LA for 20 years. Played Pebble, Spyglass, Pasa a few years ago. I've played Torrey, Bethpage, Tobacco Road, LACC (N & S), all of the Coachella Valley courses. I'm a 10 index. So are my friends. I'm 43, married, one kid.
Bandon Dunes is *by far* the best golf trip I've ever been on and the best buddies trip I've been on. Given the choice of playing any of the courses at BD or Pebble / Spyglass, I'd almost always choose the Bandon course. First a bit about the courses: We did:
Sunday: Preserve / Trails
Monday: Shorty's / Old Mac
Tuesday: Sheep Ranch / Bandon Dunes
Wednesday AM: Pacific Dunes
Thursday AM: Bandon Dunes
My favorite was Bandon. My least favorite was Sheep. The other three are all very close, but I think I'd go: Old Mac / Trails / Pacific.
As for the courses:
Preserve is the best Par 3 I've ever played and nothing comes remotely close. The Hay is genuine dogshit next to preserve. It is challenging, unique, beautiful, and emotional. Seeing 16 / 17 at BD from the higher points is amazing. Also, getting to know the land / turf / greens / traps / etc. before the big courses was a must. I love it.
Trails: A phenomenal, fun, interesting, challenging course that, like Spyglass, takes you through multiple experiences and makes you feel different things. The only problem with this one was that the greens were recently aerated. This made putting not fun. Even though we knew about this, and even though they weren't nearly as bad as LA courses post-aeration, it took away from the experience. Hard to properly rate it although the walk was brilliant. My favorite aspect of this course is the walk between holes into the woods / meadows / dunes. You feel like you're hiking and then hitting balls. Spectacular.
Shorty's: Not ready yet. It was fun. We enjoyed it. But it's not Preserve and it's not grown in, and I think, given the choice between Shorty's and Preserve Part 2, I'd take Preserve again. It might be better in a few years.
Old Mac: What a course. From the moment you tee off, you feel something special as that Ghost Tree looms in the distance on 1. When you hit that third tee, and hit that most famous shot on property you're already vibrating, but cresting the ridge on 3 and seeing all of the course beneath you, hearing the ocean, and taking in Bandon Dunes from this spot was my favorite moment on the entire trip. It's hard to put into words that feeling of hitting that ridge and feeling that rush. #3 on Old Mac is my number 1 hole on property. The rest of the course is awesome. It's huge and exhilarating and never not interesting. I had read that those middle holes lose steam for people, but they didn't for me. This course felt the biggest and grandest of them. After playing Bandon a second time on Thursday, we all agreed that if we had one more round, we would have played Old Mac again.
Sheep Ranch: A really really great morning course. Getting there early, hitting their range, having their breakfast burrito, and teeing off on that first hole in the marine layer was a special moment. The rest of the course was really fun, but given the grandeur of the other courses, this one did leave something to be desired. I don't think it's necessarily the land itself, its just that the other courses have these dramatic elevation changes, breathtaking topography, and super interesting routing that Sheep Ranch didn't have for it's own reasons. I loved it. The tee shot on 6 was incredible. 9 was one of the best holes there. 14 was killer. I eagled 18. If this was the only course we played all week, I would rank it towards the top of my all-time list, but with this group, it's number 5.
Bandon Dunes: The best course I've ever played. My whole group agreed. It is interesting and engaging from the first hole. You are always looking around at something new and cool and thought provoking. It's challenging, but also playable. It's the truest "Links" golf on the property and, having never been to Scotland / Ireland, made me feel the most. My favorite moments are the tee shot on 3, the reveal on 4, all of 5, the approach on 7, the 13th, the green on 14, and then 16 / 17 / 18 are absolutely, batshit crazy incredible. The routing, the land, the dunes, the creativity, the way it forces you to think like you've never thought on a golf course, the views, the sounds, the wind. All of it was the best experience I've ever had on a golf course. And I got to do it twice. My second round, in which I shot 82, was my favorite round of golf of my life. And I missed multiple short birdie putts.
Pacific Dunes: This course, might be, objectively, the best course there, but, because it was the last one we played, because it was so ridiculously windy, and maybe because it was a bit overstimulating, a bit was lost on me. When I look back at individual holes (3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 18) I can't believe how perfect it was, but in the moment, I felt a bit overwhelmed. It was, not coincidentally, the worst score I've made in a decade; and I want to play it again. I get everything Doak was doing, that mound on 13 is amazing. It's beautiful. It just kind of hit me a bit too hard and overstimulated me. I think, if I went back tomorrow, I'd want to play again, to give it a second shot.
Ok, the other stuff:
The most surprising thing about BD, as a whole is the food. Everything we had was awesome. I live in LA, one of the other guys lives in NYC, we all agreed it was the best resort food we ever had. Trail's End, Shorty's, Charlottes, and Sheep Ranch were all 10/10 golf course food. I don't even like steakhouses, and Ghost Tree was incredible. The chicken parms at the Lodge were awesome. Breakfast burrito, perfec.t But the real star was McKee's. I OWN A SPORTS BAR in LA, and McKee's is the best bar food I've ever had. We are all from NE Ohio and agreed they were the best wings we've ever had. The burger was great, the fish and chips was incredible. I had the steelhead twice. The pub fries. Oh my god the pub fries. We were there five nights and had McKee's three times. The whole group just kept talking about the food.
We stayed in the Grove Cottages, and we were very happy there. The living area was far bigger than we expected and the rooms were super big. I also love having my own space as I get up at 5:45a every day to shower and read and having my own room meant I could be alone and not bother anyone. You are home far less than you think you will be, but when you're home, you're never cramped, always comfortable, and given perks like a coffee machine, wine fridge, theragun, and these giant blowup pants to massage your legs. It's where we'll stay next time.
Also, the shuttles. Oh my god the shuttles. You pull up your phone, call a shuttle, and in 2 minutes you're on a bus; usually alone. On Wednesday, with a 9:40a tee time at Pacific, I called the shuttle at 8:15 to the Lodge, we were eating the breakfast buffet by 8:25. Called the shuttle at 9 to the range. I was hitting my first ball at 9:08. Called the shuttle from the range at 9:25, and I was checked in with my caddy by 9:35. Quicker than driving.
There's other stuff that we loved; just little details that made the trip better: the hospitality everywhere was 10/10; the Shipsticks system is super dialed in, the Punchbowl is really fun; the practice facility is A+++, the protein balls are awesome, **they have Diet Coke & Diet Pepsi (DC for the regular people and DP for the insane people),** and other details that just make things happy, but two big things that I think are notable:
1. It's just not that busy. The frustrations / difficulties of booking the place mean that there just aren't that many people on campus. This means the shuttles are empty and you're not going to multiple places. It means there's no wait, even for an eight top at McKee's at 7p, it means there's no backups at the first tee, no long lines at the pro shops or the halfway houses, and there's always a stall for you on the range. Compare this with Pebble and they're two different sports.
2. speaking of Pebble, it's absolutely impossible to not notice the lack of pretense all over the property. No huge buildings, no statues, no gilding, no chandeliers, no spa, no tennis courts, no expensive retail, no valet, nothing that makes you feel like you're at a resort. It's not that we weren't spending money, but we always felt it about the Golf. It was the anti-Trump. And this means that you never feel weird wearing your golf clothes to dinner, you don't feel bizarre hanging out with your friends outside the lodge or talking trash on the shuttle after a round, you feel comfortable with your caddy, at ease in the lobbies, and you play freer and without worry. The few of us that had been to Pebble noticed it on Day 1 and even before we played Old Mac or Bandon or Pacific, we wanted to come back. We all travel and stay in nice hotels and enjoy hospitality. This was better. In every way shape our form.
As far as tips I would share; most of the stuff is already on this page or Youtube, but I would say that you must get caddies; not just to read the greens, but almost every shot is an optical illusion. You are rarely hitting where you think you are supposed to be hitting. They judge the wind, know where your miss is, know where the linksy creative off-the-hill play is, and of course, read the insane greens for you.
Also, play as early as you can. The wind is very real and after, say 11a, the rounds become circus rounds.
Eat protein balls.
Eat at every place on property.
You have time to go to the practice facility. I know you think you don't, but you do. Just go hit balls.
Go with your friends. Save your money. Just go. It is the best experience you will ever have.
And finally, things I think they can improve on (these are not nitpicks, they're opportunities):
Put Rokus in the rooms. You don't need to do it in the bedrooms, but we wanted to cast Guardians games in the living room and couldn't. This is like a $5k investment. Just leave a Roku in the room.
Also, get the baseball package at the bar. I know you're going to get a lot of requests, but OK. So? There were playoff basketball / hockey games on, we wanted to watch something else. Again, $1k investment.
I think that's it. Best experience I've ever had. We'll be going back as much as we can. | r/golf | post | r/golf | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jRkJ5QUNoRWV5WUF0ejBxQmdhSHEySS1NdTF0YXU4SGZXSjVoM3hlclR0S0tmbnotaTd6UlRiUkUyRngxQmJtMTZXT3QxQjZWek0tU1R0UUp5QV9XOHp1NkFxdk8teWdwdHE3YjRjYllMLVk9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kNlhBWGJsTUc3MVNDNFdYUU1NVHJiS21IZV8tSVlGRU0yZkNwRUExLTE4YjNyQ284aWppYWNjWldWcjJmc3h2eUZaM09HSE9JU0VDQThZM2E4aUt3NHJhZXo5TzlITmsxdThCVkFNVjRuZ0FhZmJwWkJLQ2syM3NFdUZQdWpiRlRyU0lBZEZJNE40YUQ4SGFmSy1LbkVFYzlUWEpJTUdjTDVDcHZSNEN6bE53PQ== |

So me(25F) and my husband(25M) have been together for 7 years married for 3. I would say we have a very loving marriage. We have this tradition where we leave things for each other to find with little notes. We’ve done this basically everyday since we moved in together so for the past 4ish years. Sometimes it’ll be flowers or candy or something like that or sometimes it’s literally a sock on the bed with a little note that says love you. It might seem stupid but it makes us smile.
Anyways so us getting gifts for each other is very normal for us. I get him flowers, chocolate, little hand made gifts, things like that quite a bit. And he does too. But a few of our friends have made comments about how it’s “weird that I’m getting him stuff because he’s a man” specifically they’re commenting about the flowers. My husbands favorite flowers are Daisy’s(he says it’s because my name is Daisy so when he sees them he thinks of me) so I get him a bouquet every few weeks to keep around the house.
But our friends keep saying how it’s kinda of weird that I’m doing this for him. They even asked if he was making me. Like what? No he’s not making me. I just want to get flowers for my husband? But now it’s starting to get to me. Is it weird that I get him flowers and gifts? That sounds like such a stupid question because we’re married but the comments are starting to make me second guess myself. My husband has never mentioned not liking the flowers or gifts and even cried the first time I got him flowers cause he’s never gotten them before.
TLDR: I get my husband flowers and gifts often and our friends are commenting on how it’s weird that I’m getting him these things. | r/relationship_advice | post | r/relationship_advice | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jZ0NNeHNYRHMtbi0td3U4aEtzeDNGSFNZa0NPaTJaWXpXSXh4cFQyeHBWLVVTWThmTTdxaFZta2RSNzd6Mm1LVFpZODlpQ1NfaEtKMWRWYk1zaWp3LVVIakdiTTBmWXdhUndJNzNIRzVsQ1k9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kVDFTMHhza25BblFWRkhob0FJQU1abmRkMEk2Q0RtR21zQ0FFTTh3VFE1aGx6QUwwaHNobTNOeEwtdmg3V2kzdzkwUlVvcFBhang5MTlsYThRZFFuX2NZcnZac0hsbWw5djlsN3FHM2tONDRlY3Y1cy14TzFld3JqOGhFa0dNU0xlbTczeWU0MWFxdG5xUWdlc2RKa2dmRGFTdVZlME0wVFJlX0kxUW5idFoyOThkQzlPSEVabnJVS1FrNWU2RFFaQ0NkQ19wdXNIVVk1TWYyQVJNV1AwQT09 |
So like the title says Target never actually charged me for the Switch 2 order nor for the Mario kart 8 game order (both separate transactions). For context I do have an employee discount and I also used the target circle debit card for a total of 15% off (10 from employee and 5 from card). I also got the confirmation emails and no cancellation emails. Is my order okay or will it cancel eventually? | r/nintendoswitch2 | post | r/NintendoSwitch2 | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jWkRmRlpxeTh6aEdud0RQZ3J2SnZCT2JXMmp6cklaZlJ1QUJPR0FCQk51SkNRQkpCQ2ltU1RDWUxfLWxjYWt0aWlxcEFSVE9seHJXOU0zNzc3c2M4anc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kZnh3dnNEU2lya1ZlRUdDMjR0VG02OS1FckwtZm90WktGQXRJWjY4bXZ6QVNadU52UHVWa0xQanRudTdBcVZ2MWpwZUNUeEE1dWM1LTV6WjduUEktMXYzN0d2VndRM3JodzJkU3JjWmlYbXN4T05OdEFTaTR2d3VoX0RaZklrbldabGh0enVlUVpReURNTFZfb3lFSTlnXzRfM2lMY1Q4dFdlZi1BZDZTemtFUW42NVFlOXVxUVRmX0JlcVlQcng3VWtiSFBTNEdjaHR5c09UaXVqSkQzUT09 |
I'm watching The Cell (dream horse scene) right now and thinking of whether there are other movies that have themes or stories that communicate a vegetarian/ vegan theme that wouldn't be expected in that genre of film? Like something where it is coming at the story with the idea that vegetarianism/vegsnidm is the better way of eating?

A serious question, does no one handling the tv direction know what is important in the sport? Week after week it's the same thing. And for the most part we get to see each drivers 7 seconds of the lap.

It's natural for star players to show up and rise to the occassion in the playoffs, but what about the role players or non-all stars? For me this playoffs Andrew Nembhard has been a completely different player from the regular season to the post season
Andrew Nembhard
* 45% FG% > 50% FG%
* 29.1% Three point percentage Reg season > 50% Three point percentage this playoffs
* 10ppg reg season > 15 ppg this playoffs
* 79% FT shooter > 100% FT shooter(Albiet only 6 attempts)
Jaden Mcdaniels
* 12.2 > 17.4 ppg
* 47.7 >57.4 FG%
* 33% Three point shooter > 38% Three point shooter
Other notable ones were Derrick White and Jamal Murray but their numbers haven't spiked as much this playoffs compared to reg season stats. Of course its only the first round, but Nembhard especially just looked like a whole new player this series compared to the reg season. I mean 30% to 50% from three is nuts(11/22). | r/nba | post | r/nba | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jdThESTFreFExWUdNa3BEUmRHelA0VUxoOFpTdFlUTHpXUG5RNmN0RTFCa1hGZWlzeWFlcm82bGRyZF9mTlJnU05Ma1k3V0dxcTVQVWVmZzlEc0JuN0E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kS3dBc0ltVlBoVHZmcjlRQzhWMTF6eGlFLW9rbjg0eFc4V3g3M0kxY3NvRnFuVnFWcl9uVnoyWFJrcTVNajNCMW50SkJNUFoyUG5pS0pMSHRMXzZzOWp0VGpHb1VpVWpOX1p2OTlMQVlLXzBpaE9JcTRzcEhXTGhBbDVLRDJzZDZzcHhYdmNia0o3cEJxY2VPa2tfNWFKbzFSMGdKYjlHdHVseUhva0UtOGMxZVBOTC0zeWFnRjhDemxtMmllYmUt |

If you leave the map after killing the bosses at the end, but before opening the rune "chests", and then come back (lets just say your inventory was full) the chests will be gone. You will not have Empowered Runes available anymore.

I'm an archivist currently researching the original *Letter People* kindergarten and first-grade program. (1968-1996) I'm fascinated by its educational legacy and cultural impact, and I'm working to preserve it as much as possible. I also run an [archive](https://archive.org/details/@the_letter_people) and [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@LetterPeopleArchive) channel where I share my findings with the public.
If you have any personal experiences, old materials (like cassettes, VHS's, books, classroom kits, etc.), or know of anyone who was involved with the program — whether as a student, teacher, or creator — I’d love to hear from you. Any leads would be incredibly helpful to this project.

This is sort of a white whale for me. Such a great moment from a really special period of time in film. 1968 Italy, but I do love all that library music and exploitation film score stuff.
But this film is a favorite! Super exciting. Coming out on my bday of 7/22? now we just need the Ennio Morricone psychedelic lounge jazz BONKERS score to get some love. =)

I think this is within sub rules, to get people talking about an old film like this and sharing some of the old movies of the ilk. It's just such fun... will be great to see all these colors and action! =)

I’ve been incrementally upgrading the clubs in the box set I bought from FB Marketplace to get started. Replaced the driver and putter already. Got these two fairway woods today.

hi everyone! i need some advice—there’s this waiter i’ve developed a bit of a crush on, but i have no idea how to approach him. i’ve thought about maybe asking for his socials, but i don’t want to come off as intrusive or make him uncomfortable while he’s at work. at the same time, waiting until his shift ends feels a bit weird or borderline creepy, so i’m stuck. has anyone been in a similar situation or have suggestions on how to go about this respectfully and confidently?

When going out to dinner with my boyfriend I had curled my hair and done a full face of make up. When we got back, I told him I was going to wash my face so I could take off my make up and get comfortable. He looked me in my face and said, shocked, "you're wearing make up???" I'm not kidding, eyebrows done, eyeliner, blush, contour, lashes, the whole 9 yards.
So men, please tell me what is going on. Is he trying to be cute or did he seriously not notice

During Covid I decided to pick golf back up and found a great deal on used Callaway clubs from eBay
Played a bunch during Covid but could never hit the ball consistently. Felt like my drives were hitting a wall and I was way shorter than my friends who I’m stronger than
Ended up being embarrassed to play and eventually gave up the game
Fast forward to last month, I’m staying at a hotel with a golf course and figure I’d give it a shot with the rental clubs
Best round of my life! 20 extra yards on every club, I was shocked!
So I go to get fitted and bring my old clubs
The guy tells me they are the worst Chinese knockoffs he’s ever seen and I pretended I just got them out of embarrassment.
TLDR: Wasted 5 years of my life with fake Chinese clubs. Don’t buy from eBay | r/golf | post | r/golf | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jRU81NFFRZzlZR2JSSmxYMFhxVDN6SUVreU5JUTdQMVVUT1VFV1Y3OUpuU0NVXzg3QXI2ZnpRNzVDVDU4b2pOeFlyRFJxTVdCMGxkVVUzUHZFQUxkaWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kaFlKdjlaV3pCd0RGUHdaSmhTV1Q2R2JXSmdvQ3FKOWJleFhOOWtSX1VwV2dpdGVqd0ZTbXNZODlLUHBFTzE0NVFtT2F3R0hwX2U4YXpHME1JTmhvWXZsQ3k1M3VkcDk5QXFyUzJLeXdlaEJNNWRyMDJCQ3VPaFF4SWVmSWtycloxeW1JZnhoVjZGbzU3QlFSVVYxc3ZQc0lCYkJfVjY0N2huc2ZET2VZZEdmazhXRUFEaFlSX3BSSzBEdzAxYlRIczRlbi1kRjRHTEV5S05vVjBDYzh2Zz09 |
I struggle to find any movies anymore that actually scare me. I remember watching the Martyrs 2008 original and actually feeling nauseous and disturbed a bit. Will try to watch Funny Games tonight to see how this goes.
But the only two movies to ever scare me are Rob Zombie's Halloween 2 (bc Michael Myers there is portrayed brutally, he's absolutely terrifying in that movie), and most recently Lake Mungo.
Send me your absolute worst of the worst scariest movies, just please no recommendations like The Conjuring, Insidious they don't scare me in the slightest and the excessive overuse of bad jumpscares is more of an annoyance. | r/movies | post | r/movies | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jR0hWbWIzaGhGYk5xU0xSRWdSUTJwdVAwVnFFalZuQmlrVTNCR2xSbDZYaDVjMmhWa3cwZ19IVXZnZGFrc190ZzVvVzBJYWVjOGppbTZZbzVFZ0dZN3c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kTGw3TkV3WmtKVXlQUjVZbVhQMzBGa19qVGRWVXEzdDk5S05RUUx2OGZ5QmxBaW5taW1oT0lNYXhmZ0RMbE9SSzFnaDQ2MjZxa1Q1REdIdWVGVHpwc051cVhPM2xEXzd0ME5zLVhfSmZDelJNNzdvWDJPVVppVk9rZ2FFMy1sdDZVbDVxRXlmTi1qNEZ2NDFPYTg3UmFNREhQNVBCNkJmaWpnVVBKMXAxYlRvLUlKbWpSQTBDSGVNX2ZjTExtelBtOTVjLUE1ZDczVE5jX3IyZUtyOVFyZz09 |
In the movie, Madeline and Helen are rivals to one another, portrayed as equally antagonistic. In the end, the both are punished for their vanity and forced to spend eternity with each other, but do so as friends.
Except Madeline was a psychopath. Helen didn’t drink the potion because of her own narcissism, Madeline repeatedly destroyed Helen’s life and left her with nothing. Helen wanted to be a writer. She felt compelled to make herself beautiful because it’s the only thing she could do make herself safe from Madeline. Madeline stole husband after husband, demolished Helen’s self worth and her love - because at one point Helen called her “trashy”? Madeline didn’t even like Ernest, her cheating on him was a huge plot point!
But they’re both framed as equally vain and narcissistic. At the end, they just decide to forget it all and be friends.
I know that’s the point. I know not every bad character has to be “punished” by the narrative.
But did the ending piss anyone else off 😭 Man fuck Madeline!! Justice for Helen. | r/movies | post | r/movies | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jb3J0TVlkTktzM195S2lCb3plelJTSDBDbm1Ja191UjdmS1VlT1lBSlFLRzRqZmdUTExPakF4NzhGcHEyOWRFWm5Tb2dOajJ6bFVnaHNGNkN6cTRnV1E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kd0doS3JLMDByWDFUWHExQ2l1UEpDT1NJMGpEUUlYbzRoeUFUYmwzaXJlVDhaVW94VmI1VURGNFdldTE4RWE0TWowTnhCTllVcVdncWVLOU5STnFBcl9jSWlxdXlUc0lEaFBLaGdTMUlveDdzNUlENkRTekZRdjFjazhIcWxaVGROcWhQZW5RRHRHVzZRLWpiLXhETUZUWXdiNjJFTTNNZEMwWVRJVFBBRXRSbUJMU1pldVlkMEJ4alpoWTZkb083MlhxdElNa2IxX1hqQWt6WF9oTDNEQT09 |
