Does tucker carlson have a doctorate

So I have Lilith in Scorpio as a Scorpio ascendant. I believe this would make Lilith in the 1st house but calculators keep telling me that my Jupiter is in my 1st house in Sagittarius along with my ascendent being in Scorpio, so idk. What does this mean?

I (20F) moved to a new country last year to pursue a college degree in my dream career. I was planning to move here, but adjusting has been hard. The food, the climate, and the friendships are strange to me. My college has been ext time-consuming, so I stopped going to therapy.
Before moving, my best friend (20M) confessed to me. At the time, I felt some attraction to him but didn't reciprocate his feelings. He wasn't my usual type, and I thought long distance wasn't going to work for me.
But after I moved, and we hung out every day, I fell for him. I still hang out with my other friends, but the time I spend with him is uncomparably longer. I started to think of him not only as a guy I like but as my home. I realized the only time I felt like I was home was when talking to him. All my happiest moments were with him. Watching shows, playing games, and doing couple-ly things.
And I am planning to ask him out during summer when I come back. Maybe it won't work out, but who knows what the future has in store, I told myself. Maybe I'll move back, or he'll move here, or smth else will happen entirely. I know I'm young, but I don't find myself attracted to the idea of dating anyone where I'm currently living. I just want to see him laugh every day.
But he says some alarming thoughts as well. He says he doesn't know what he'll do if I stop talking to him. He says he never truly felt like he was living before meeting me. He quietly admitted he hated himself.
And when it was really late at night, and we were both half awake, we talked about how our house would look like. The colors of the walls, the pets, the kids.
I tried gently suggesting that we both start seeing therapists, but he said he doesn't have the financial conditions to do so. I told him I'm not equipped or impartial enough to respond to some of the things he said, and he understood.
And to be honest, I'm scared of going back to therapy on my own. I'm scared that she'll call me out for our codependency, and that I'll have to break up our relationship. I'm scared that I'll have to admit that he's everything to me and that this isn't healthy. My brain can't accept that something that brings me so much joy could be unhealthy.
But something is not quite right, is it? The time spent, how fidgety I get when we spend a day without talking, and the way I feel responsible to keep him happy. And I know he doesn't want me to feel responsible for it, but it is indirectly what he said.
From an outside perspective, how bad does it sound? What should I do?

For context, for the house subquest, and I chose Din and Farore. (didn’t know what the bonuses did until recently, or I probably would have chosen Nayru.) I remember that a joy butterfly to upgrade digging, swimming, and something else can be found by fusing with these girls as well. I thought that meant in addition to causing the house subquest, a butterfly would spawn in a certain location. But the butterflies aren’t there, so I’m assuming it’s a second kinstone fusion w Din and Farore, and then Nayru. But none of them will do it! I’ve been checking since I did the Wind Temple, and just recently finished the Temple of Droplets. They still don’t want to fuse. In fact, I’m having a hard time finding anyone that wants to fuse. Is this a glitch, or does the option to fuse w them again not appear until later? Please help, I’m losing my mind

My nearly (she turns 1 Friday) one year old tapered back on bottles at daycare starting about three weeks ago. She was teething so I figured it was normal. She went from about 12oz/day to 6-8, and then this past week, down to as low as 3-5oz. The teachers are having to encourage her heavily to drink milk. She nurses fine at home for the most part and has started spacing her daytime feeds. I’d say that she’s nursing 6-8 times a day still, as she’s nursing 2-3 times overnight (she’s slept horribly for 3 mo now).
At this point I shouldn’t be concerned about intake, right? She drinks water, maybe a few ounces a day, and has some solids - though still a lower amount than most kids her age. She’s having 5ish wet diapers a day but isn’t pooping daily.
I’m paranoid about intake due to weight gain issues/oral tie issues her first few months of life. But at this point, I think I’m ok to relax?? I am going to send a straw cup tomorrow and see if she does better with that instead.

Side note: I've added a password, so read carefully. If you message me WITHOUT the password, your messages are automatically IGNORED. tired of getting hit up with people who don't read 😒. It's ridiculous cause I've ignored 5+ chats cause none of them contained the password. Things are written for a reason.
Facts about me:

• I have been roleplaying since 2012. Yes, I got experience under my belt, and yes, my ideas usually have really long reads, but don't let that scare you off! After the starter is off, I may lower myself down to a decent paragraph or two, sometimes three! It all depends on what I've got to work with.
  
• My timezone is EST. I'm awake from 9am - 2am and I'm usually free unless I'm busy doing house chores, out of the house, asleep, or playing video games on my switch. I'm usually become REALLY active at or around 8pm.
  

Rules:
1: if you don't like 50/50 mixture of sex scenes and story, don't bother hopping into my inbox. I'm fine with sex scenes, but when it's constantly back to back, the roleplay itself gets boring.
2: Be literate. No one liners. I like to write..it's annoying when I send a 2-3 paragraph response and I get 3 lines...just...no. I am not accepting people who are just starting out! If you aren't experienced in writing or roleplaying, kindly stay out of my inbox.
3: Be okay with playing canon characters. I'm mainly doing fandom roleplays right now and it's going to be Canon x my oc. No, I'm not doing double ups. Do not even ask, because the answer will be no every time. I do not give a shit if you think that makes me 'lazy' or 'selfish', if you've got a problem, you can simply ignore or block me. Commenting on my post to bitch and whine about me not doubling up will only result in me blocking you. The ONLY time I'll double up, and if I'm confident enough, I'll only do female characters. I suck at males. Got a problem? Not my issue. Block and move on.
4: Roleplay in third person. I can't and won't adapt to first. Don't even bring up the idea of you playing first person and me playing third. Believe it or not, I've been asked this twice and that is just a hell no for me. The only time I do first, is when I'm writing into my book.
5: if you don't know how to share ideas, then don't bother messaging me. I'm tired of carrying the story when the other person doesn't help. If you've got ideas, then PLEASE speak up! Your opinion on the roleplay matters too! I'm an easy going person, and easy to get along with (dispite my rules).
6: DO NOT control my character. I control what she says, does, hears, sees, ect. I don't control yours, so don't control mine. HOWEVER, if it's highly necessary and needed, then run it by me first and ask me. Just leave me some wiggle room so I can make a decent response. Failure to comply by this rule, results in immediate drop of the rp.
End Note:
Yes, I've updated my rules just a tad. I do not care if it makes me sound mean or rude, because I'm neither of these things. I'm just tired of putting these rules down for a specific reason and they go ignored because I can tell when someone hasn't read them, and lied about it. I'm just trying to get my point across and roleplay. I'm a very easy going person who loves to make friends on the side (which I've somewhat given up on making friends...only a selective few have actually gained my friendship).
Do not hop into my inbox with a simple 'hey' 'hi' 'sup', etc and for God's sake, don't message me with a 'rp?'and proceed me to flash me with your talliwhacker. I promise you, you'll get your feelings hurt and I'll be here laughing at ya 😂. Nobody wants a peen on their screen. Do not send me an image of your one eyed noodle. Thank you.

mercys damage boost has been broken and hated on for years but i thought of a small solution that could help!!
she cant damage boost anything that does over 150 damage. this would mean sojourn couldnt oneshot, mercy pocketing a widow would be useless and pocketing a cassidy, soldier or genji would be more valuable.
for example sojourn's fully charged railshot could be damage boosted if it was a bodyshot - as it does 130 damage - but a headshot wouldnt be as it does 195
also revert her healing and ga but decrease the ga range? idk i only have 100 hours on her so im just making an idea

I want to get into Bluecoats for the 2024 season on Contrabass bugle, and I both would like advice on a couple things and wether I have any shot
Just to preface who I am for ya'll to get a good idea:
-16 y/o
-play Tuba/Sousaphone, Bass trombone, marching bass for Indoor percussion, and bassoon
-done state-level performances on all except marching bass so far
-has Asberger's
-big legs, average arms, 6 foot 4, need to work on cardio pretty heavily, 220 lbs
Now that you know the preface, a couple of dilemmas, but the main one: I can't actually acess a full size Contra. My band doesn't use them and the only convertibles they have are both small and all converting equip is lost, and my dad is trying to see if anyone has one and is willing to trade.
The other dilemma is also a question: is there time after getting contracted to be able to pay off the dci fees, or does it have to be all at once soon after? If it is so, then I'll have a dilemma of money as well.
I come from a small school(about 60 people in my band). Do small school band kids ever make it?

Hi all! I posted here a few months and got some amazing help from some awesome beta readers, and have been working on my next revision since. I've rewritten it almost fully and am feeling very strong about this, so I'm back for more help.
" It's hard to be a black sheep in a black sheep family, but Zaiyde prides herself on doing the impossible. She is shunned by the quiet children of Eelry for her loud and excitable demeanor, and at home she struggles with the desire for more than her tame town and boring life. So when her self-righteous cousin sends her off on a wild goose chase of an adventure, she thinks it's exactly what she needs.
That is until she meets Koriade, a gentle young soul whom she quickly befriends on her quest. Their time together is a high she's never before experienced, and it feels as though it's ended all too soon when they part ways to pursue their own personal journeys. Zaiyde finds her place in the bustling town of Sarton, where its inhabitants are just as rowdy as she is and a promising career as a warrior's apprentice awaits her.
But a year after separating from Kori, a mysterious creature called the Danzengesch begins to ravage the land in a spree of unbridled savagery and murder. With the help of an elusive guild, newfound friends, and her steadfast mentor, Zaiyde must find a way to save Kori before the Danzengesch adds him to the pile of dead bodies left in its wake, all while trying desperately to ignore the echoes of the things- and people- she left behind in what she once called her home. "
TW: Obviously as you can tell from the blurb, there's some violence and plenty of character death, as well as mentions of abuse, inhumane treatment, and extremely detrimental living conditions. There's nothing sexual or hardly even romantic, it's just a tad bit on the darker side when it comes to the plot.
I'm mostly looking for developmental feedback. I'll be polishing up scenes/wording/description a bit later in the process. I feel good about what I have written down as it is, but I'd like to get more feedback before doing polishing in case I spend a day fancying up one scene only to have to scrap it due to feedback.
So, I'm mostly looking for things like; does the plot feel interconnected? Do you understand everything? What are you confused by? Does it flow well? Is it a good length? Is the end satisfying? Do you like the characters? Things like that. Any plot holes you see, characters that you find particularly insufferable or flat, worldbuilding that seems incomplete, etc.
Obviously you're free to critique my grammar as well, I'd just prefer that not to be the main focus lol. My preferred timeline is anything under 1 month, but I can make exceptions if absolutely nessecary.
I am very open to a critique swap of anything 120k and lower. Fantasy is preferred; I can do sci-fi or dystopian just fine, I just might not understand it as well as you'd like. If your work has any explicit sexual scenes, just let me know where so I can skip over them. If you're interested, drop a comment or dm me! I love this community and am super thankful for it, so I'm excited to work with you all again. Thanks guys!

I want to make a deal with a demon or the devil and I want to know to do that I was referred here from witch so does anyone have any tips to summon some unholy creature ??

I have about $50,000 'Carry forward concessional contributions" available. Can I deposit $50,000 from savings into my super then use this $50,000 for the FHSS next year?
It's my understanding that I can withdraw $15,000 per fiscal year, up to a maximum of $50,000. But can I claim $15,000 per fiscal year even though I didn't have $15,000 per year? Does that make sense?
Assuming I have $0 of super over the last 5 years, and now I put it $50,000 as part of the carry-forward concession. Can I then use the full $50,000 for FHSS?

Heyo!
There’s plenty of posts similar to this one on the subreddit, but I’d like to post my own with our current situation and what me and my girlfriend are planning to do, and whether it seems feasible or if it’s straight up idiotic.
We relocated to Prague from Australia approximately 2 years ago, for my own work purposes which I will still be continuing with. My GF though is a French pastry chef and has been for about 15 years and can confidently do just about any pastry or dessert, cakes, the lot.
She has worked at many high end restaurants and cafes, and especially has lots of experience at things like farmers markets running stalls selling pastries, etc.
Anyway, whilst living in Prague, she has been running her own at-home pastry business specialising in Australian pastries (both sweet and savoury) through an app system akin to say, Uber Eats.
Things have been going pretty well, and 1-2 times a week she has been attending farmers markets selling all the goods also.
Anyhow, we are now looking at potentially taking the next step for her which is to open up a location.
We are currently very interested in this brand new small shop space that exists within a food court at a shopping center that is opening near us. It’s 4 stories and the lower 2 stories are normal shops (non food), whilst the top 2 stories are still under construction. The spot we are looking at/in dicussions with us a corner space at 6x5m. It’s honestly perfect size and we’ve gone down and checked it out ourself. The food court is already well under construction and will have some big names such as Burger King and subway located within it.
The rent is 27K Czech Crowns a month (about 1200usd), which is inclusive of all common services other than power, and marketing (which would go up inside and outside the center). The spot, he’ll the entire food court is brand brand new.
We’re aware there would be high costs involved to purchase equipment, construct the benches, etc, but perhaps not exactly, does anyone have any recommendations to figure out approximations? I assume it’d just be smart to get multiple quotes or something.
Just looking for any advice that perhaps we’re blind too (trying to keep the post not incredibly long with stuff we’re already aware of). But I guess it’s more about whether the risk is genuinely not worth it, etc.
This wouldn’t be a cafe per-se. More an actual pastry shop inclusive of custom cake making and readily-available Australian hot pastries such as meat pies and sausage rolls. We’ve seen just from the at-home and market run business side for the year that the demand is there, but really just wanting to grow/give it a bigger shot.
Capital we’re not too bothered on, and actually also not too worried if it fails (though will give it our best shot to not have that happen obviously), just looking for any advice if it’s actually a moronic idea that we may be pursuing.
The location itself is not directly within the city (about 15 mins drive out), but the actual shopping centre is the biggest one in the area and is smack bang in the middle of countless new apartments/high rises. Like literally one side entrance to the shopping center is a walking path leading directly to the backyards of a couple thousand apartments.
We decided to sit around for an hour on a bench on one of the open floors where there is a grocery store and the foot traffic was fairly standard/as expected. My instinct/gut feel about the food court’s opening feels good, but it’s exactly that, a gut feel.
So yeah, would love any advice if anyone has anything, thanks :)

hi everyone
i don’t really know what’s going on right now but i’ve had d* 4 times since around 3:30. i felt normal all day until that time, then i felt some movement in my stomach and what i thought was gas pains. then i went to the bathroom and had d* the first time. then a second time 10 minutes later. i took pepto bismol around 4:45 i think and it stopped for a bit so i had a little bit of food (mostly carrots and potatoes from a pot roast. i still felt fine for awhile after that but in the last 10 minutes i’ve had d* two more times. normally i wouldn’t be concerned about this bc i know it just happens sometimes but i’ve never had it happen this many times.
i didn’t feel n* the first time but after the second time i started to feel n* but idk if it’s actual n* or anxiety n. i don’t have any other symptoms like headache or fever. i have had a lot of really gross food the past 3 days (burgers, chicken tenders, etc. even though i don’t really eat meat that much). most of the food has been fast food bc my boyfriend has an iron stomach and can handle anything and that’s what he wanted to eat. i don’t eat a lot of fast food at all so i originally thought that my body was just mad at me for that but it’s happened so many times now that i’m starting to get actually freaked out. does anyone have any advice or anything? i’m so scared of tu :(

From an outside perspective it feels like you focus on the wrong parts of the story. Who cares if it's the ambiguously gay duo or two blue brothers on a mission from god as the actors. It's their deeds done that make them the men they are. I was a main character (villian) of this story and I couldn't even keep up. It's like in dukes of hazard, when they switched out bo and luke, and the entire universe never made it past that first episode. The Liz I loved and the Liz we have for a ghost today are not the same entity. I've never talked to the ghost, so I don't know who she is. The story turned me into the villian because I cared about a boy and an exbest friend when no one else would. What sense does that make? The universe isn't so cold that it's gone static. Humans have hearts, they beat, they make warmth. ... So where'd it all go in the pages of this book? Me and Liz were meant for so much more than this story even allowed. Me, Liz, and the lord had an understanding ... you see, we're on a mission from god ... and we were getting the band back together. ... then the new fucking luke duke appeared out of nowhere and the story didn't even make sense anymore. No one is talking about it. They just care if he was gay or bi, but that doesn't matter does it? He loved liz, and she's gone ... and he never even got a reason for why...

Hey all,
I was wondering if anyone knew of a collaboration platform of sorts that I could self host. I am looking in to this to help keep track of tasks for my wedding in a few months.
What I am looking for is something that would allow us to create tasks, assign them to people (registered and unregistered (I can make manual accounts if needed)), and allow the users to comment within each task. I would also like to be able to have a central place to upload documents such as contracts and such (aka not attached to tasks but can be if warranted). Those are my 2 main wants.
It would be cool if there was a contacts system so that the wedding planner has the names and numbers of all of the vendors. Another thing that I think would be useful is a chat system as well.
Does anyone know if there is a system that can do this?
TIA!

I was watching some older Vods and i feel like destiny fell for the selective clips meme. He watched few of Elon musk related to twitter and has a big rant on stream that Elon does not know anything and got lucky with his companies. I wonder what he would think after watching video like this where Elon goes into depth of engineering of starship. There are multiple talks with everyday astronaut that are all 40+ minutes.
Here he describes getting into space and why falcon9 are landing on water
Here he is talking about AI, neural networks and vision that is being used on tesla cars. While he is not the main person talking, he obviously has insane insight into how that works, and you can see especially when he gets unexpected questions in Q&A part.
The vod of destiny i have watched is 4 months old so maybe he changed his opinion, but it hurt a little bit that he had such big opinion based on few clips when destiny gets clipped so much and people form wrong opinions on him as well.

After the new rumor from Cosmic Circus of Kingpin, Mr. Negative, Kraven, and Scorpion appearing in Spider-Man 4 came out, I think I finally get what Sony's doing with their long term plan. I realize this isn't generally popular among MCU or SSU fans since most I come across on both sides seem to want to keep the two completely separate, and this whole write-up may very well not be what they're planning at all because it's basically all rumors at this point, but just from the latest developments we've heard, both through rumors and official sources, this is what I can personally piece together. Keep in mind, I may word some or all of this in a definitive sense, but I don't know what Sony's actually doing and this is only my theory. Be aware: this will probably be a very long read.
​
* Kraven the Hunter (October 6, 2023) - More or less, outside of a few references to Venom and Morbius here and there, Kraven's probably gonna be a standalone movie, much like its SSU predecessors. The real tie-in comes in the post-credits scene, following up on Morbius (2022), where Morbius and/or Vulture come to recruit Kraven to their team, who have followed his actions during the movie off-screen, either through the news or otherwise, promising "the hunt of a lifetime" in reference to the MCU's Spider-Man (I think Vulture makes more sense here just because of his actual connection to MCU Spidey, but if they can't get Keaton back, I imagine they'd just get Leto to fill in. That version may not flow as well as the Vulture one, but we did all see the Morbius post-credits scenes, lol.)
​
* Madame Web (February 16, 2024) - Madame Web, I think is the first SSU-set film that could really set things up outside of just post-credits scenes due to the nature of the character and how she relates to the Multiverse. If rumors are to be believed and this movie introduces Ezekiel and the Spider-Totems (I apologize ahead of time because the Totems are something I've never really been familiar with in Spider-Man lore, so I may be uninformed during parts of this), I believe this movie is critical in setting up the overall endgame for Sony's plans, but more on that later. It's also rumored to feature Mary Parker carrying an unborn Peter Parker in a 2000's setting and this plot-point may be further expanded on by Venom 3 (explained after this). By the end of the movie (again in the post-credits scene probably, lol), either Webb will be confronted by Vulture and his team of Morbius and Kraven or the other way around, but somehow, someway, she is the vehicle that transports those three to the MCU, either via Vulture being the only one to go back and Morbius and Kraven accidentally being brought along somehow or Webb being threatened by the three and her being forced to transport them.
​
* Venom 3 (2024) - I don't expect this one to have any kind of huge ties to anything else to come after it, but I do think it can follow up on Madame Web pretty well. There was a rumor a while back (can't remember where, sorry) that mentioned how Venom 3 would see Eddie and Venom transported back to the SSU from the MCU and now on some kind of mission to hunt down his universe's version of Spider-Man. When he finds him, he learns he's basically just a kid grown up after being born in the 2000's in Madame Web (If Venom 3 takes place when it actually releases, that'll place it in 2024. If SSU's Peter Parker is born in the late 2000's, maybe early 2010's, let's say, that could place him at around 14/15.). With all that, Eddie has to end up protecting him from Toxin, they fight, he beats him, roll credits. Even if the actual film's story is completely different from this and doesn't even feature child Peter, I don't expect it to change the rest of what I'm theorizing, if anything, at all, because I don't think this version of Venom will factor into things again until much later down the road, especially Hardy decides to truly call it quits after this one.
​
* MCU Spider-Man 4 (July/December 2025) - This is where som things I mentioned before are finally paid off. As we all heard that CC rumor I mentioned in the beginning, I think at this point, Spider-Man 4 follows up on whatever happens in Daredevil: Born Again and sees Kingpin assemble and fund a team consisting of Scorpion (who I theorize has already been in contact with Fisk for a while now), Mr. Negative (who is one of Scorpion's "boys on the outside" mentioned in Homecoming), and a revamped Shocker. It's at this point that Vulture had already returned to the MCU with Morbius and Kraven, he's met up with Scorpion again, and basically merges their two teams together, forming the Sinister Six. I don't think the Multiverse will play a large role in this movie, despite Morbius and Kraven both hailing from another universe. For the most part, this could quite literally be played off as those two just being associated with Vulture from the last time we've seen him. Basically, that's the crux of the crossover and the film is mainly Sinister Six-focused. I also expect MCU Miles Morales to be introduced in order to establish his relationship with Peter and for himself to become a Spider-Man later on in this overall saga. In a post-credits scene, Peter ends up bonding with the remaining Venom symbiote left behind at the end of No Way Home. In another scene, I could see Madame Web showing up to take Morbius and Kraven back to the SSU.
​
* Various other SSU projects and spinoffs (2025-?) - It's at this point, I think that Sony's gonna just go for it in terms of releasing SSU projects. Maybe they get one or two out before MCU Spider-Man 4, depending on the July or December release, but for the most part, I see them going forward with movies like El Muerto, Hypno-Hustler, maybe that Sydney Sweeney Spider-Woman movie, Jessica Drew, so on and so forth, as well as their shows like Silk, Spider-Man Noir, and probably a few more that will focus on other Spider-People after the release of Spider-Man 4. I imagine these will be sprinkled in throughout the years in between the upcoming Spider-Man and Avengers movies. If they're successful, they'll receive sequels and more seasons and potential spinoffs, if they're not, they'll go the way of Morbius and be one-offs. Regardless, as long as they have at least one appearance beforehand, I see all of these characters as being important in that I think all of them will factor into MCU Spider-Man 6's big finale crossover that I'll explain at the end.
​
* Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars (2026 and/or later) - MCU Spider-Man, now wearing the black suit, will probably feature heavily in at least one of these films, but I don't expect them to factor into what Sony's doing since this is mainly the MCU's big projects. I also don't expect The Kang Dynasty to keep its current May 2, 2025 date, so that'll move it past MCU Spider-Man 4. Tobey and Andrew, I could see both appearing in Secret Wars and doing their thing, but I don't see them factoring into Sony's plans too much until the very end, that is, if they both make it out of TKD and SW alive, but I suspect they will due to what I think Sony's building towards.
​
* MCU Spider-Man 5 (after Secret Wars) - I see this film as being the one where, after Spidey has wrestled with the symbiote on and off during the Avengers movies, he's realized it's become a problem and he needs to get rid of it somehow. Long story short, he does, and it bonds to Mac Gargan, who was beaten at the end of Spider-Man 4. Since this symbiote is technically a spawn of the SSU's Venom, much like how Carnage was, I envision this version of Venom being inherently evil and much more of a monster than the one we've seen bonded to Eddie, which fits well with Mac Gargan's revenge arc he goes through in the movie. But because Spidey is who he is, he beats Gargan's Venom, the symbiote's either contained or gone at that moment, everybody lives happily ever after, you get the point. Miles Morales also returns in this and at some point discovers that Peter is Spider-Man. The post credits scene involves Miles Morales being bitten by a spider and realizing what that entails.

* MCU Spider-Man 6 - Well, this is it, this is what the past however many years have been building to and the ultimate endgame of Sony's plans to this point and it's far simpler to explain than most other projects on this list. Someone like Morlun or Knull or any large, potentially Multiverse-ending character is the main villain in this, probably having something to do with the Spider-Totems established in Madame Web (again, I know nothing about these, lol). This means that literally everything Spider-Man ever factors into this movie. MCU Spider-Man's the lead, of course, and he's been working with Miles Morales and helping him become Spider-Man alongside him since the last film and, at this point, Madame Web is the one to kind of bring everyone together to save the Multiverse: MCU Peter and Miles, Tobey, Andrew, Hardy's Venom with a grown up version of his Spider-Man (depending on if Venom 3 goes that way), every other SSU lead we've seen up to this point, possibly the animated Spider-Verse stuff, maybe certain Spidey villains left over in the MCU, Tobey's, and Andrew's universes, as well. Basically, this is just a colossal crossover and a love-letter to every corner of Spider-Man's multiverse over what would possibly be 3 decades at this point. There's a big sacrifice at the end from Holland's Spidey (and maybe Tobey and Andrew as well, though Holland's I feel would be the most important one), the main villain's defeated, and the Multiverse is set right once again. Following this, MCU Miles Morales fully embraces his title as Spider-Man and swings off into the sunset, becoming the main MCU Spider-Man who leads his own films going forward.

Okay, so I know that was a long read (I did warn you, lol) and I realize that some or maybe all of this is wrong, but that's the fun of theorizing, so I hope nobody takes this incredibly serious, it's just one possible route Sony's taking with their future plans. I hope you did enjoy reading it, though, it took me like an hour to write all this out and longer than that to think it up, but this was fun, so thank you for taking time out of your day to swing by and check this out!

Can't expect this happen to me, especially since I don't have pre-transition male friends. Still wanna discuss it, and, if possible, read some cute stories if you have some. It is probably not that common, but from what I've seen, it does happen. Best friends now seeing you as someone of compatible gender, old classmates reconnecting after a long time, and other stuff like this.
Not only it's really cute, I think, this is also a really good source of validation, when this happens: you've come so far, that it doesn't even matter for someone who knew you as a guy! And just in general "childhood friends to lovers" is a nice trope

After the new rumor from Cosmic Circus of Kingpin, Mr. Negative, Kraven, and Scorpion appearing in Spider-Man 4 came out, I think I finally get what Sony's doing with their long term plan. I realize this isn't generally popular among MCU or SSU fans since most I come across on both sides seem to want to keep the two completely separate, and this whole write-up may very well not be what they're planning at all because it's basically all rumors at this point, but just from the latest developments we've heard, both through rumors and official sources, this is what I can personally piece together. Keep in mind, I may word some or all of this in a definitive sense, but I don't know what Sony's actually doing and this is only my theory. Be aware: this will probably be a very long read.

• Kraven the Hunter (October 6, 2023) - More or less, outside of a few references to Venom and Morbius here and there, Kraven's probably gonna be a standalone movie, much like its SSU predecessors. The real tie-in comes in the post-credits scene, following up on Morbius (2022), where Morbius and/or Vulture come to recruit Kraven to their team, who have followed his actions during the movie off-screen, either through the news or otherwise, promising "the hunt of a lifetime" in reference to the MCU's Spider-Man (I think Vulture makes more sense here just because of his actual connection to MCU Spidey, but if they can't get Keaton back, I imagine they'd just get Leto to fill in. That version may not flow as well as the Vulture one, but we did all see the Morbius post-credits scenes, lol.)
  
• Madame Web (February 16, 2024) - Madame Web, I think is the first SSU-set film that could really set things up outside of just post-credits scenes due to the nature of the character and how she relates to the Multiverse. If rumors are to be believed and this movie introduces Ezekiel and the Spider-Totems (I apologize ahead of time because the Totems are something I've never really been familiar with in Spider-Man lore, so I may be uninformed during parts of this), I believe this movie is critical in setting up the overall endgame for Sony's plans, but more on that later. It's also rumored to feature Mary Parker carrying an unborn Peter Parker in a 2000's setting and this plot-point may be further expanded on by Venom 3 (explained after this). By the end of the movie (again in the post-credits scene probably, lol), either Webb will be confronted by Vulture and his team of Morbius and Kraven or the other way around, but somehow, someway, she is the vehicle that transports those three to the MCU, either via Vulture being the only one to go back and Morbius and Kraven accidentally being brought along somehow or Webb being threatened by the three and her being forced to transport them.
  
• Venom 3 (2024) - I don't expect this one to have any kind of huge ties to anything else to come after it, but I do think it can follow up on Madame Web pretty well. There was a rumor a while back (can't remember where, sorry) that mentioned how Venom 3 would see Eddie and Venom transported back to the SSU from the MCU and now on some kind of mission to hunt down his universe's version of Spider-Man. When he finds him, he learns he's basically just a kid grown up after being born in the 2000's in Madame Web (If Venom 3 takes place when it actually releases, that'll place it in 2024. If SSU's Peter Parker is born in the late 2000's, maybe early 2010's, let's say, that could place him at around 14/15.). With all that, Eddie has to end up protecting him from Toxin, they fight, he beats him, roll credits. Even if the actual film's story is completely different from this and doesn't even feature child Peter, I don't expect it to change the rest of what I'm theorizing, if anything, at all, because I don't think this version of Venom will factor into things again until much later down the road, especially Hardy decides to truly call it quits after this one.
  
• MCU Spider-Man 4 (July/December 2025) - This is where som things I mentioned before are finally paid off. As we all heard that CC rumor I mentioned in the beginning, I think at this point, Spider-Man 4 follows up on whatever happens in Daredevil: Born Again and sees Kingpin assemble and fund a team consisting of Scorpion (who I theorize has already been in contact with Fisk for a while now), Mr. Negative (who is one of Scorpion's "boys on the outside" mentioned in Homecoming), and a revamped Shocker. It's at this point that Vulture had already returned to the MCU with Morbius and Kraven, he's met up with Scorpion again, and basically merges their two teams together, forming the Sinister Six. I don't think the Multiverse will play a large role in this movie, despite Morbius and Kraven both hailing from another universe. For the most part, this could quite literally be played off as those two just being associated with Vulture from the last time we've seen him. Basically, that's the crux of the crossover and the film is mainly Sinister Six-focused. I also expect MCU Miles Morales to be introduced in order to establish his relationship with Peter and for himself to become a Spider-Man later on in this overall saga. In a post-credits scene, Peter ends up bonding with the remaining Venom symbiote left behind at the end of No Way Home. In another scene, I could see Madame Web showing up to take Morbius and Kraven back to the SSU.
  
• Various other SSU projects and spinoffs (2025-?) - It's at this point, I think that Sony's gonna just go for it in terms of releasing SSU projects. Maybe they get one or two out before MCU Spider-Man 4, depending on the July or December release, but for the most part, I see them going forward with movies like El Muerto, Hypno-Hustler, maybe that Sydney Sweeney Spider-Woman movie, Jessica Drew, so on and so forth, as well as their shows like Silk, Spider-Man Noir, and probably a few more that will focus on other Spider-People after the release of Spider-Man 4. I imagine these will be sprinkled in throughout the years in between the upcoming Spider-Man and Avengers movies. If they're successful, they'll receive sequels and more seasons and potential spinoffs, if they're not, they'll go the way of Morbius and be one-offs. Regardless, as long as they have at least one appearance beforehand, I see all of these characters as being important in that I think all of them will factor into MCU Spider-Man 6's big finale crossover that I'll explain at the end.
  
• Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars (2026 and/or later) - MCU Spider-Man, now wearing the black suit, will probably feature heavily in at least one of these films, but I don't expect them to factor into what Sony's doing since this is mainly the MCU's big projects. I also don't expect The Kang Dynasty to keep its current May 2, 2025 date, so that'll move it past MCU Spider-Man 4. Tobey and Andrew, I could see both appearing in Secret Wars and doing their thing, but I don't see them factoring into Sony's plans too much until the very end, that is, if they both make it out of TKD and SW alive, but I suspect they will due to what I think Sony's building towards.
  
• MCU Spider-Man 5 (after Secret Wars) - I see this film as being the one where, after Spidey has wrestled with the symbiote on and off during the Avengers movies, he's realized it's become a problem and he needs to get rid of it somehow. Long story short, he does, and it bonds to Mac Gargan, who was beaten at the end of Spider-Man 4. Since this symbiote is technically a spawn of the SSU's Venom, much like how Carnage was, I envision this version of Venom being inherently evil and much more of a monster than the one we've seen bonded to Eddie, which fits well with Mac Gargan's revenge arc he goes through in the movie. But because Spidey is who he is, he beats Gargan's Venom, the symbiote's either contained or gone at that moment, everybody lives happily ever after, you get the point. Miles Morales also returns in this and at some point discovers that Peter is Spider-Man. The post credits scene involves Miles Morales being bitten by a spider and realizing what that entails.

I'm looking for a GM for the title. I'll be providing a writing sample down below; I've a variety of ideas in mind, including fandom and original stories such as WH40K, Dragon Age, KOTOR, Cyberpunk, and ASOIAF/AGOT/HOTD.
Beyond that I'm enthusiastic for most forms of history and consider myself well-read on it (i.e. more than just being able to list off battles and fun facts about the Romans and other shallow topics). This usually ties in my writing more often than not; I play the tabletop version of Warhammer and play most of Paradox Interactive's Grand Strategy titles. My current favorite obsession is Knights of the Old Republic 2, and I fence at a very amateur level. I'm a Soulsborne fan (can't beat Sekiro, unfortunately) but am pretty ambivalent to Elden Ring.
If a writing sample isn't shared in your first message, I'll block you immediately.

The boar is not dead, though to all the other hunters’ senses it is. It lays motionless on its side within the sled, tied down by rope with two arrows sticking discordantly out of its hide like seams of broken bone. Frozen blood pools in the cracked stomach of the sled, collecting rather than leaking now that red ice has sealed the wood. Poison leaching out of the arrowheads keeps the boar docile, and its breathing so light that only Trapper can see. An ovate in too-thin robes shivers as she ties a garland of rosemary around the beast’s neck, murmuring prayers to the ancestors that they might find the kill worthy.
Winter has seized the land in its vise, its unending waves of cold and snow having transformed the Barony of Marlas into a crueler scape, one Trapper doesn’t quite recognize. Tranquility abounds along the driven snow, all through the clearing, hiding the buried world and the woes of man but unable to snuff them out. Trapper knows well what a mirage it is, the oppressive winters of his homeland no less savage than the bloodletting summers. The numbing cold does not soothe his aches, for he knows they’ll be worse come morning, come the thaw. Too soon this clearing will melt, its river gone from white to red, the whole Septima Line thrust back to war.
Baron Orys refuses to yield to midnight season, to accept its peace, and so from his great warhorse’s saddle he brazenly belts out a mixture of drunken lyrics and commands, determined to master this hunt even if he does not partake. An entourage on horseback spreads out in his orbit, ranging from eager young footmen to grizzled junkers, all in varying states of inebriation at his command. Their braying is nearly louder than the hounds’, who hungrily stalk between the sled and the hole they pulled the boar out from. Teased by the hunt but yet unrewarded, they’re too unruly to be kept in check by the kennel master.
On foot slog the unfortunates who actually have to take part in the hunt, Trapper among them. They huddle into their hemp canvas cloaks, glancing up at the moody afternoon sky threatening to crack open with another snowstorm. Dark clouds sweep in low from the south like a riptide, a single vast current swept in from the mountains already menacing the Oldwoods. Its furthest gales reach them as tongues of vengeful cold, flecks of whipped-up snow biting into Trapper’s exposed skin.
By the boar’s nest leans a typical Mallean, one of Trapper’s two erstwhile comrades. Sigorn is tall, pale, broad, with the close-set, wide-boned features of a commoner, and a shock of red hair grown out to protect against the elements. Beneath his cloak he proudly bears his blood-flecked armor, each dent a Darkman put into it a point of dear pride. He’s not the only one, either, the clearing filled with dozens of youths whose first blooding ended in victory amid a blizzard. Baron Orys, deep into his cups after six days of nonstop celebration, saw a break in the storms and gladly called a hunt. When informed he could not go on account of his shattered knee - he simply grinned, and ordered himself tied to his saddle.
Trapper remembers the moment his lord fell from the saddle, burned into his nerves. The screaming of horses, skidding hooves catching on the frozen ground. On the edges of his vision a rider smashes into a branch in the din, others don’t move at all for fear of the blizzard. His spurs dig, his borrowed steed whines, and he races for his lord - only for another to reach him first.
“What a woman.” Sigorn sighs beside Trapper, craning his neck to look at one of their lord’s companions of honor. Susannah Oye junker unlike the others, a pretty, willowy noblewoman well into motherhood, with the lean, ruthless look of a ranger. Her two poisoned arrows are what struck the boar down, and her pride curls off her body like steam. Sigorn’s face cracks into exaggerated appreciation, and then he turns to their lord’s other honored companion. Another woman, this one as young as they are, haughtily-built and leering with none of Susannah’s refinement. Many of those looks are reserved for Trapper, forced to slog on foot as just another hunter. “Anya too. I think she fancies you, eh?"

I'd like to build an outdoor movie theater. I have a projector, and am considering the Polk Audio Atrium 6 speakers, but I need recommendations for an amplifier.
I would like to set up four speakers. Two in one section of the back yard, and the other two in the potential outdoor theater section. I'd love the amplifier to be able to split audio for "zones", so if we have a movie playing, the audio is not played through the other set of speakers (to not annoy neighbors). Ideally, the amplifier could have bluetooth, controllable by an app for volume, and have an EQ.
Does something like this exist? Or, what other recommendations would you have?

Hi! I'm looking for travel insurance recommendations. I will be out of my home country, the US, for around six months, mostly in Cambodia, with a few days spent in Malaysia. I only need medical insurance and emergency evacuation insurance in case of a serious accident that can't be dealt with in Cambodia. I don't need any extra aspects often part of travel insurance packages. Does anyone have travel insurance companies they've had good experiences with? I don't want to buy a policy with a company that isn't good about reimburing people for legitimate claims if they have to see a doctor. I don't mind it taking a while as long as I eventually get the money back. Thank you so much!

I'm seeing a worrying trend of Asians ass-kissing their parents, worshipping them, and treating them as innocent martyrs who can do no wrong and don't have to take responsibility for their abusive actions. (Which we all know is damn well wrong.) "I'M SO GRATEFUL FOR THE SACRIFICES MY PARENTS MADE."
Yeah, yeah, we get it. There's nothing wrong being grateful. But what is wrong is ignoring/excusing their abusive behaviors. What is wrong is to criticize Asians who do NOT feel grateful for their toxic parents for abusing them. What is wrong is to shame Asians who cut ties with their toxic parents.
And then there are Asians who just flat out deny that abuse is a rampant problem in our culture. It does not exist. You're just being "racist" for calling out Asian culture. You're just making up racist stereotypes, you're just picking on Asian culture for not being Western. (And how is that even relevant?) YOU ARE the problem, not Asian culture or abusive Asian parents.
Has another Asian ever told you this? Have you heard another Asian justify abusive parents or abusive culture?
