Hi all,
For a Dutch movie about a gay relationship we are looking for some pictures of real people. In the scene the actor is scrolling on a dating app through his phone. On this app there are supposed to be some selfies, sixpack photos, holiday pictures etc. Of gay men. The typical photo’s you see on a dating app.
We are looking for people around 18-30 years old. It doesn’t matter where you are from!
If you would like to have your pictures in a short scene of a Dutch movie we would love to invite you to send your pictures to [email protected]. If we end up using your pictures we will send a contract which you have to sign, so we won’t use the pictures unsolicited. Feel free to ask for more information on our email.
Ps: It will be on Videoland, kind of a Dutch Netflix

I want to buy a new car in the next 5 years or so, my current car has some low level autonomy, and I honestly didn't trust it at first, and it isn't perfect but overtime I've found I genuinely appreciate the active lane keeping and dynamic distance keeping cruise control, for long trips.
So I was wondering from a consumer grade vehicle can we expect any rapid improvement in the next few years to make it worth buying another one?
And if so what automakers are leading the pack? I ask because if I looked at this 5 years ago I would have said tesla without a doubt. But honestly it seems like their progress has kind of plateued and the other traditional car manufacturers are just about neck and neck with them.

Lancer Division - Early WIP*

*Well met General, the situation in the eastern theater needs your attention. You are to rendezvous with fellow commanders who have been pulled from the Sierra Madre Line and discuss how best to position your given Lancer Pilots and Regiments for the oncoming assault. *

Greetings and hello fellow Lancer reddit enthusiasts. I am working on a bit of an ambitious project, a big fan gamebook expansion. I plan on having a demo book released by this summer, but your interest, playtesting and feedback is critical if you want this project to succeed.
Lancer Division is inspired from games like Lancer, Battlegroup, 40k, and Kreigsspiel. As well as Anime like Kingdom, Legend of the Galactic Heroes, and ROT3k. I wanted to make a large-scale strategic combat TRPG where players are commanders of brigades that form a division, and each unit feels like a customized mini trpg character with different playstyles. (Healer, Range, Tank, Etc.)
You will have 3 resources to manage which serve as your brigade's mana, equipment, and action points. Players should work together to secure their supply lines and plan accordingly for combat.
You build a brigade like you build a fleet in Battlegroup, you have 20 points to spend on Regiments, Battalions, and Attachments. (Kind of like Battleships, Escorts, and Carriers). You can equip a unit with additional equipment, systems, commanders, etc. As time progresses and you earn medals, you will rank up and get access to more units or upgrade your units. On the map you typically will command two "blobs", and combat will be around 4-20 units on a 8x8 hex grid map.
Here is a link to a google drive document for the rules preview document. The rulebook will need more playtesting and editing. I will add more units and rules as time progresses. If you're interested in playing I can organize a game sometime, just post here or send me a DM.

Hi there, I’m a fairly new DM looking for advice on how to transition from one campaign to another.
We just finished the Lost Mines of Phandelver Campaign and the party are currently in Phandalin.
My players are a Cleric, a Rogue and a Fighter. The Cleric and Rogue want to keep the characters they’re using, and the Fighter’s character is becoming the new mayor of Phandalin and they want to make a new character.
So my current plan is to have the Cleric, Rogue and the New Character made by the Fighter be hired by Gundren Rockseeker to explore deeper into the Wave Echo Cave.
I’m working with the Fighter to make a character a bit more familiar with the underdark using the Deep delver feature and maybe an underdark bond of some kind.
I basically want to get from them exploring the cave to being in the prison without it feeling too forced. I don’t want to just say “Twenty drow appear and attack you” and have them get defeated, I want to try and make it not feel too forced (although I’m aware there’s probably no way of doing it that isn’t forced in some way).
So yeah I’m just seeking advice of more experienced DMs on how to deal with this transition, any advice is very much appreciated.

I can skip the specifics because if I start to write out everything that happened, this post will take me 4 hours to write. I was lied to and manipulated for about a year. It was the weirdest situation I've ever been in and I still can't heal from it. It made me lose all trust in myself, my judgment, and other women.
It's been about a year since it's fully been over and it feels like I'm just as messed up as when I was in the situation. I don't want to go out with my friends because I'm afraid I'll run into her and break down. I can't focus on work because I'm constantly thinking of what happened and I feel shitty. I've dated people and destroyed the relationships because of how I perceive women now. I can't go to my favorite spots because she frequents them. I'm about to go to a bachelor party but I'm afraid of the going out scene and the memories it brings up. I live kind of near her and have ran into her several times with a guy she's dating and it makes me so angry that she's just fine and everything is okay. I go out of my way to avoid her and can't go to my favorite park to let my dog play.
I don't know where to turn or what to do. I've been in therapy and it doesn't help. My therapist has given me several things to try and when it comes time to implement them, they don't help. I've told my friends about what's going on and they just tell me that I shouldn't be depressed or sad about anything. I'm tall, attractive, make good money, I'm funny, in great shape, and have zero confidence in myself. Anyone I try to explain this to thinks I'm being a wimp because things look like they're doing great on the outside. It makes me more depressed that I have so much going for me and I feel so shitty constantly.
I want to know this will end and I'll find someone great. It doesn't make sense how someone can turn my whole world upside down.
TL/DR: I don't know where else to turn. I was in a very toxic situation with someone for about a year (2 years ago) and it has quite literally ruined most aspects of my life.

So I have three options (and this for an individual plan), but these are the two I am in between (the third one is a even higher deductible plan, Cigna 3000 HDHP):
A Traditional Cigna plan ($295 per month):
- $500 in network deductible
- $3,000 out of pocket max (I don't even know what that means)
- 10% coinsurance (also don't know what that means)
- $30 copay for PCP and $40 copay for specialists
Cigna 1500 High Deductible Health Plan with HSA ($100 per month):
- $1,500 in-network deductible and $3,000 out-of-network deductible
- $2,000 out of pocket max (in network) and $4,000 out of pocket max (out of network)
- On the information sheet they gave me it just says "10%" for PCP and specialist visits. Does this mean that only 10% is covered? I'm confused.
Current medical situation:
- I have an eating disorder and have a treatment team. So I see a therapist weekly, a dietician bi-weekly, and PCP once every couple months for medical monitoring (including lab work)
- I may (or may not be) seeking more support through an intensive outpatient program (IOP). Depends how I do with this new job.
- Aside from the eating disorder, I'm not on medication or have any other physical health issues. Obviously I don't want to put any suffering into my future predictions, and God forbid I were to have another issue, but I do that a history of random and relatively infrequent psychiatric hospitalizations and ER visits for episodes relating to PTSD/depression.
I am an extremely cheap and frugal person and the $100 plan seems appealing. With the traditional plan, they don't cover any OON providers. But from my understanding the HDHP they do after you meet the OON deductible.
I also am confused about how an HSA works and plays into it. My employer does match, on the infographic they gave me it just says "Employer HSA Funding: $500."
Any guidance on how to math the math or figure out which one is best? Please be kind in the comments, I'm very new to all of this.

"I haven't seen much correlation between good trading and intelligence. Some outstanding traders are quite intelligent, but a few are not. Many outstandingly intelligent people are horrible traders. Average intelligence is enough. Beyond that, emotional makeup is more important."

William Eckhardt

How smart do you really have to be in order to become a successful trader?
I mean, those God-like figures, the traders, are often portrayed as people who have cracked the code to decipher the overwhelming complexity we call life.
The traders! Those mighty figures who can forecast the impact of the droughts in south Missouri on the next week's price of the S&P 500. The traders! Those enlightened, glamorous and filthy rich brainiac … of course they can forecast the impacts of a butterfly farting in the middle of the pacific … haha, and profit out of their complex internal, black-box equations.
Or can they?
This preconception about traders drives me immediately to an episode narrated by Nassim Taleb in one of his Incerto books, where he tells us that when he was a fresh, young trader, there was this guy, this legendary currency trader focused on the swiss franc pairs. His reputation preceded him. … and Nassim was hilariously struck by surprise when he found out, after meeting up with this legend, that this trader didn't even know where Switzerland was.
Or, another funny example was of another equally well reputed commodities trader, specialized in green lumber … who had been trading this commodity for his entire career thinking that 'green' lumber referred to a special kind of wood coloured green whereas it actually refers just to lumber with a high moisture content … I mean …
Well! Before you start mocking at these guys, think that these guys were probably living their best lives, in their lavish penthouses, summer yachts and whatnot. So despite their enhanced cultural and wisdom enlightenment, there must have been something they were doing well in order to generate all that success.
But before expressing my point. Allow me to raise it a little further … very quickly.
LTCM. Long Term Capital Management. 1998. Three Nobel Laureates at the wheel of this infamous hedge fund. Three Nobel Laureates. Three Nobel Laureates applying their nobel-prize-winning-holy-grail formula. Result? Disaster. No no, excuse me, I meant: absolute disaster. Like the Federal Reserve bailout kind of disaster. Yet these guys were geniuses.
The point I want to drive across is that, in trading, intelligence can only take you that far. Too much intelligence can even be detrimental.
Being dumb enough not to question some time tested adages like:

• "Let your winners run & cut your losers short."
• "The trend is your friend."
• "Don't try to catch a falling knife."
• "The market can remain irrational longer than you can stay solvent."
• "Don't fight the FED."

Will do wonders for your trading. Provided … and here's the crux, you ally your dumbness with a military-like discipline and emotional regulation.
Look at the Turtle Traders's example. Not calling them dumb or whatsoever. But here's the key to their success:

1. Buy if the price closes at 20 days' high.
2. Close long if the price closes below the 2 ATR trail.
3. Add proper position sizing to this equation.
4. Act on your buy & sell triggers with no hesitation, no doubt, whatsoever.
5. Repeat autistically.

Disclaimer of course: it is your responsibility to build and test your craft. Just saying that successful trading recipes look a lot more like this simple napkin formula than Einstein-Rocket-Science material.
Oh! And here's another important caveat … there is a whole finance industry which benefits much more from having you thinking that trading has to be black box material. Only for high performing MBA and suits.
Ridiculous! Open your eyes.
The rules are easy, it's the emotional management that is hard.
Cheers,
Ruben

So yeah I’m just seeking advice of more experienced DMs on how to deal with this transition, any advice is very much appreciated.

Hi, hello. Welcome to my first post here. Make yourself comfortable while I give you an overview of what I’m all about.
Let’s start with my interests. My interests include movies, tv, music (mostly rap and my ‘nostalgia playlist’), bowling, mini golf, board/card/video games, football, hockey, baseball, and basketball (yes, I am big into Boston sports). I am also open to trying some new things too (for example those irl escape rooms).
When it comes to my personality, I am honest, humble, caring, kind, gentle, understanding, compassionate, chill/easygoing, and patient. I’m not funny myself, but I do know some good comedians/comedies.
My love languages are definitely words, gifts and touch (with gifts and touch being my top 2 to give). What can I say? I have a lot of love to give 😊
Now is when I describe myself. I’m white, 6’1-2”, with blue eyes, short to medium-ish long dirty blond hair and a bit overweight (wanting to work on being healthier). I am born AMAB (assigned male at birth just in case you didn’t know what AMAB meant), I don’t identify as my assigned gender, male, but as agender (basically I don’t feel I have a gender and understand other people do). I currently dress mainly masculine, but I do want to have a more androgynous wardrobe in the future. Lastly, I am omnisexual which means I’m attracted to all genders with a preference to feminine people.
I should also say I am anti-bigotry no matter who the target is whether it’s transphobia, homophobia, sinophobia or any other kind of racism. That is one of my dealbreakers. It goes without saying then that I’m a safe person for trans, gay, furries, gender-nonconforming, and poc.
Before I end this, besides the anti-bigotry point, I’m really just looking for people who share some, not a ton or all, of the same personality traits or interests. Preferably you are local to me. If you fit a good bit of those, interested, and are generally cool, send a dm. I’m also fine with an age gap of say 8 years give or take a couple is also cool to me.
Well, I think that’s about it for now. My dms are open so feel free to start a chat and if everything goes well maybe we can move to discord or ig or whatever (your choice if you’d like).

I've harassed my GP a couple of times, who eventually checked some hormones last year and my progesterone 21 (which were all satisfactory) but won't do anything else until TTC for a year. I'm going to be 37 before this date hits, so worried I'm running out of time.
Stopped desgestral last year - thought periods were stabilising at around 26 day cycle but this month was randomly 21 days. Luteal phase was around 11 days but 9 this month.
Periods outrageously light - last about 2 days and often only bleed into bowl/during sex as opposed to in pad. Period was so painful when it started this time I considered calling an ambulance - not normal for me.
TTC since August, I'm so worried I'm infertile but feel dismissed by GP. Would asking for investigations in to the painful, irregular periods be enough for some kind of investigation or will they continue to palm me off until August.
I know 7 months isn't necessarily that long and so many of your stories are so much worse but I hear the clock ticking so loudly and am so worried I will never manage to have a child. My partner already has one, so the problem is less likely to be with him.
I'm not sure why I'm posting..venting? Wanting reassurance or advice on how to get something moving with GP? Anything, I suppose. Thanks for reading. Oh! I'm the in the UK

Perfect's gaze fixated upon Marr in an instant, eyes locking with the Dark Lord and illuminating with what could only have been some kind of . . . recognition. The clicks and whirrs within his brainpan were audible at this distance, binary processes ticking away as data registered into memory. He was utterly still - impassive as always - but Sylvan could sense something emanating from within the shell of his broken body. It stirred, perhaps driven by the waves of Force rolling off of the Darth's shoulders.
Lord Haddar was an insect compared to this man.
His glare fell over the crowd one by one, growling silently under his mask as he seemed to appraise each Acolyte individually - a violating sensation. "Slim pickings, this year," he muttered, though the volume did little to prevent his words from reaching the ears of those around him. Marr's foothold found its home upon the monster's head, one foot pressing down upon its scalp and forcing its eyes shut. The Terentatek had been broken by his presence, completely and utterly.
"Children of the Empire," his synthetic voice boomed, inflecting with body language that was just as still and non-emotive as the Android by Sylvan's side. "All your lives, whether you were aware of it or not, Korriban has called you. Its echo has spread across the distant Galaxy and touched countless stars for the sole purpose of reaching your ears . . . and you have finally answered that call, be that willingly or no. It is here that you will be tested; where the very right you have to existence will be called into question, and where an answer will be demanded of you."
His arms stretched open, sweeping out across the crowd.
"Take a look around you. The vacant dunes of Korriban will serve to clear your mind of distractions, and in that cold, roiling fury of desolate silence, you will either find yourself . . . or find yourself wanting. It is fully within your control what your fate will be. Will you seize victory from the jaws of defeat? Or will you founder and stagnate, quenching the eternal thirst of the bones of your superiors?"
"And yet, for those of you that find themselves upon the surface of this graveyard against your will, you may instead find yourselves begging questions in lieu of answering those asked of you. 'Why me?' 'What did I do to deserve this?' 'Why does the Sith Empire yearn for my death, so?'"
The Darth shook his head.
"To that, I offer but one consolation. The fact of the matter is that you have been putting the matter of your continued existence up to debate your entire life thusfar. You have but yet to realize it. The Sith offer you clarity of purpose - to dominate your fate instead of leaving it merely to chance!"
Marr's arms fell back down towards his side, one hand grasping the hilt of his saber and quietly unfastening it from his beltloop.
"I digress. And to be plain, I do not care for the nuance of your motivations, nor your methods in evading death and acquiring knowledge. I demand one thing of you - you lessers, those who choose to languish in your inferior stations, who are content with their lot as it is, who wish to deny the simple truths of LIFE."
His saber ignited in a powerful crimson rush, sweeping a powerful gust of wind across the audience before him. The ruby light seemed impossibly bright, illuminating the world in red as if it were a second sun before suddenly crashing down upon the Tarentatek's neck and severing it entirely, burying its lurid heat into thick, dark flesh. The putrid skull tumbled away lifelessly, rolling off of the balcony above and falling down onto the ground below. The select few Acolytes that stood immediately below the creature found themselves too stunned to run away . . . where their souls perished in an instant.
"Do not waste the Empire's time."

Now that Spring is sort of, maybe, kind of in the air (allergens and all), I have this weird desire to be social but not too social. What’s a good Biergarten in actual DC where I could get fresh air, some good drinks, a delicious pretzel, and read a book? Conspicuous people watching is also implied. Dog friendly is a plus.

Hey yall, im consistenly having these odd dreams where I am in a full on dream in some fantasy land but really struggling to wake up(in the dream).
For example in last nights/this morning, i was walking around some sort of sports event with friends and walking up the bleachers but i couldnt keep my eyes open, my vision was impaired, and i was unaware of my souroundings. I ended up bumping into someone and kind of waking up(in the dream) to realize i bumped into someone but couldn't actually get my eyes open enough to see them, despite the fact that I was walking around almost zombie-like at this event.
This type of dream has been occurring off and on for many years, usually in waves. Based on my searches, it seems somewhat similar to sleep paralysis, but instead of taking place in the real world, it is still deeply in my dream. Anyone else experience it? Any recommendations? I always feel unrested and uneasy after waking up from these.
Thanks,

So I kind of enjoyed sets in D3. I did like the way they would completely change the way I played, but they forced you into a build with extremely limited diversity.
I'm not against sets per say but they would need to be completely different than in D3 and D2. That's why I would rather them just ignore them for at least the first year or two. I'm curious what everyone else thinks.

I’m at a loss. Is this common in relationships? We hit it off really well at the start and dated for about 5 months. Everything was seemingly perfect. She came across as smart, considerate, sweet. She’s a babysitter to these two sweet kids that I met along the process and grew to love as I would come over the house and cook and play games with them. During that time this woman introduced me to her entire family, best friends, we spent holidays together. She says I was the first to have ever been introduced to her family.
She is from Kenya as well, so I understand that meeting family is a big deal. Everything was going seemingly well, with her texting “I love you” every single day, writing me letters, flowers, with her even mentioning marriage & kids first. I always made sure to return her energy - followed her lead every step of the way. Was so emotionally (and even financially) invested. Even got an apartment in her city to be closer.
She is a full time student with 2 years left of studies, and I was also busy traveling a lot. I did notice she was busy at points and always told her I completely understood. I noticed she seemed more tired and not as present, and she sensed I knew something felt off. But I told her I understood she was probably overwhelmed and didn’t need to worry. Then the very next day she calls me saying she “doesn’t think she’s capable of loving me the same” and that “she can’t give me the love that I deserve”.
Then proceeds to say “I really liked you but I don’t think I was ever in love with you. I know it’s fucked up and it’s nothing you did or could’ve done. I’m extremely confused myself and honestly will need some deep soul searching.”
I was at a loss, and asked if she was sure about this and if I would need to move on, but she was crying and bawling her eyes out so much saying she “had no idea” and “couldn’t give me an answer right now”
Obviously I questioned her on everything and asked if the dates and moments we experienced were ever real to her. She then says “the moments were great but we experienced them on different levels.”
How am I supposed to interpret this?
I felt stuck waiting to hear her answer and tried to allow her space to “reflect” but wasn’t sure on how to proceed. I kept thinking “Should I wait to hear this answer or leave? Do women do this often? Why go so far to deceive me if she truly never meant it? Unless it’s just a phase that I’m unaware of…
Things did heat up fast I would say. But I felt pushed further because she would suddenly say things like “I see you being the father of my children” and then also writing these really romantic letters saying how much she loved me and how special of a love that I gave, etc. She would sometimes send videos of people growing old together saying that this was us.
Although, I do think immaturity is a big part of it actually, that makes sense. I returned her energy because although it was a lot, I felt I had really strong feelings for her and realized how much I wanted to be with her - so even if it was soon, I wasn’t opposed to the ideas at all.
As for how I was financially invested, was because we were kind of long distance in a way and I had to pay to travel to see her. I was pushed to get the apartment because her best friend was having suicidal thoughts and she said she really needed me there more than ever. She pushed me to make that move and really directed me to doing so about 3 months into our relationship.
As of yesterday she decided to block me on everything. It was strange because we decided to kind of leave space but I couldn’t sense how she was feeling throughout it (no texts or communication). We had planned a trip together while we were dating that was still upcoming and she had a final come up and wasn’t able to make it. I decided to still go on my own even though it was originally supposed to be for us together.
I didn’t know whether to continue to leave her space so when I came to town and didn’t tell her, there was this anger from her in me not telling her, which was strange because she insisted on leaving space. I just started noticing that her requests and expectations would sometimes be vague or very confusing.
She told all of her friends (that I met through her) about the breakup and the friends all called me directly to check on how I was holding up - but later she got mad at this saying I crossed the boundary by getting her friends involved - when she was the one that told them we broke up.
Her final message was that I couldn’t respect her boundaries with her friends, and her space, and that she “never looked at me the same ever since I accused her of deceiving me or using me for my emotional and financial investment” and she didn’t even allow me an opportunity to talk in my own defense. Which to me was strange out of all the times I listened to her side of things after she basically said to me she never loved me.
So now she’s completely cut contact and I’m totally at a loss. I’m pretty much guessing her friends might be also thinking this is weird behavior. I’m not sure what to make of this… what am I supposed to do now?
TL;DR Me (23M) and my girlfriend (22F) had a seemingly amazing relationship and then she suddenly pulled away crying and confused. Then the tears slowly turned to feeling sad for hurting me to somehow resentment (me being the bad guy) and she had a complete sudden change of heart.

Me and my bf had been arguing a lot recently and he had the final straw and completely broke down. He told me how he doesn’t feel I show him the same amount of love he shows me and that he’s hurting himself loving me so he started asking me if he was doing anything wrong. I told him that he’s doing absolutely nothing wrong and that I just really don’t know what’s going on with myself. He then said that if we wanted to fix this I needed to be wholeheartedly honest with him and tell him everything I was feeling and thinking and he would be open to having a fresh start. So I told him how at about 6 months in, when I was still quite fresh in uni, there was a point where I started thinking if I’m missing out on exploring my options and how I’ve never had a relationship longer than 6 months so I was majorly overthinking (ik it is not an excuse). I was so ashamed to be questioning it that I didn’t talk to him about it. During that same time, I had a friend which I thought to myself was cute but that was literally all, never flirted or tried to persue them and the thought quickly disappeared. Once I told my bf this now, about 3 months down the line, he was upset that I didn’t tell him and hid and he says that it’s very much on the same line of cheating. I hate myself for seeing him hurt so much but I just never really realised how badly this would be. I just needed to get this out but idk what to do. He’s kindly said we can try again but I just feel terrible.

I'm making a book of crossword puzzles for a birthday gift. I'd like to make a layflat book through Blurb, but the lightest paper option they have for layflats is: Premium Lustre 295# Gloss Paper (432 GSM)
Would this paper be too thick for pencils to comfortably write on?

Heyyo, thanks for checking this out! Names Cameron, its nice to meet you! I am a 23 year old white dude in California, could be kinda shy initially, but I open up quick. I'm hoping to find a nice woman who shares some of my interests, or at least is okay with us sharing ours and trying to bond over the unfamiliarunfamiliar. It can be fun to learn about new things 😊👌
I am interested in learning about you! What sort of hobbies do you enjoy? What music do you listen to? Any podcasts? What sort of work or school are you in? What is an embarrassing story of yours?
As for me, I think it would be fun to answer these myself for you if you message. It was always a sticking point for me on these subs where it felt like everything was said in the post and there's nothing to mine discussion wise hahha.
I mentioned being shy, but I am not bad at conversation, actually I love talking! Voice chats, voice messages, disc calls, texting, whatever it is. I just hope you aren't one of those people who sends 4 words messages at the maximum lmao, I've already had two back injuries at work, dont need another from carrying a dead convo.
I will say a bit about me so that you have something to go off of. I am a chill, funny, kind and respectful guy who enjoys games, reading and singing, just to name a few. I have been doing 40min bike rides the past week as I am starting to lose weight. If you have tips or any personal experience with that journey, I'd be glad to hear about it or take some advice. I feel much better after eating more quality and less quantity, as well as having this physical activity.
To leave off, I really do hope to hear from you. Just be aware I am incredibly handsome and cool and funny and awesome and smart and good at sports and and and and..... sorry I may be exaggerating slightly.
Hahaha, thanks again! Cameron
