Hacking Websites; Hire a Website Hacker to Hack Website and Data
What is the best way to hack a website? For some time now we have been hearing about web server vulnerabilities, including SQL injection, cross site scripting XSS and denial of service attacks. To protect our websites from such attacks, we must try to prevent attackers from accessing them in the first place. One of the most common ways hackers try to gain access to our websites is by trying to guess usernames and passwords. It may sound funny but if a hacker knows the usernames and passwords of many websites then he can use this to gain access to any database on the Internet.

This means that if we cannot protect our databases by changing our usernames and passwords every so often then the chance of someone gaining access to them increases dramatically. Even a small number of user names and passwords can increase a hacker's confidence enough to give him access to a database. In order to prevent this kind of attack on our websites, we must try to prevent the hackers getting into the database. The database is obviously the one that contains our customer records, login details and other important usernames and passwords.
The database security is very important because if a hacker is able to get into the database he can use it to do any damage to our company. The security of the database should be strong, but unfortunately it is not always possible to create such database security, which is why it is very important for us to change our usernames and passwords every now and then. However, even if we cannot change our usernames and passwords very often the security of our database is still very important and we should consider using database security software like the commercial products available in the market.
How to Hack a Login Page
One of the most common hacking techniques is the denial of service attack. This is where the attacker obtains a legitimate-looking website that may look legitimate but is actually a phishing attack aimed at stealing sensitive information like usernames and passwords. Once the hacker gained access to our website, he or she can use this information to escalate their own membership in the system, create spam links, delete a user's files and folders, and perform other harmful activities such as redirecting email addresses.
A common site that we encounter that is targeted by these denial of service attacks is PayPal. This is because PayPal is one of the most used websites online. Apart from PayPal, another common website hacking techniques is the clickjacking attack. This involves the hacker finding out how to trigger the vulnerable link in Adobe Flash so that the pages he or she is trying to access turns into an error page instead of allowing the user to proceed to the login page.
The hacker can also try to phish usernames and passwords of various financial institutions including those run by the United States government. Some of the financial information that the hackers can obtain include Social Security numbers, credit card numbers, bank account numbers, and passwords. Once this information falls into the wrong hands, it can be very difficult and complicated to retrieve them especially if the user was using a secure server.
How to Hack Website Admin Password.
Hackers, who do not understand the consequences of their actions, are prone to using 'hacking' methods when trying to crack the security of a website. Hacking is the process of gaining access to another person's computer without their consent. The way in which you could hack into a website is through one of the many security holes that exist within the programming language used by websites to create and maintain their functionality. Most of the time when people try to gain access to a website they do so by clicking on links that appear within the text or in the background of a video.
However, some people try to gain access to a website by bypassing all of the security measures which are placed upon it and this is known as 'Hacking the Web'. When one tries to hack into a website, it is often the case that they attempt to use the website admin password to gain access to the inner workings of the server. In order to hack into a website, one would have to crack the security password which is usually set by the webmaster and is usually difficult to guess. If a user is successful in cracking this password, it then opens up the door for further attacks to the system.
Attacks could range from stealing personal information, such as usernames and passwords, as well as damaging or corrupting files and programs. In the case of a personal computer, if a website admin password is stolen, it could mean that the owner of that computer will not be able to login to their own computer until they either reset the password or obtain a new one.
How to Hack Website Username and Password.
If you are one of the many people who have lost their passwords for their accounts on different websites, then you are probably wondering how to hack a website username and password. With the rapid increase in computer crimes such as identity theft and credit card fraud, there are a lot of unscrupulous people who would like to have access to your information.
This includes your bank account numbers, social security numbers, passwords, and credit cards. Hackers are getting smarter each day, and it has become easier for them to figure out ways to steal these valuable pieces of information. However, it is still not impossible to protect yourself from having your account details stolen.
Hack Website Online Tool.
How to hack school website it’s relatively easy to hack a website if you have knowledge of programming. Various programs exist that are programmed to automatically crawl the Internet to find websites that have changed their passwords, or have posted advertisements. These programs can easily be programmed to take down URLs and alter grades on the fly.
Once they've hacked a college website, other websites will be affected as well, and so forth. In the case of how to hack school website, other students could be caught stealing classmates' homework and grading process information. Many high schools have already lost money due to students using their credit card to buy books and other items off of a website that was hacked.
How to Hack a Website and Change it.
If you are interested in how to hack a website and change it, then you are not alone. Hackers are always looking for new ways to get at and steal information from other computers. When you are trying to learn how to hack a website and change it, you will need to understand that when you have found the right type of vulnerability, you can use this information to access some of the files that are not normally accessible.
For example, if you were to find an HTML password leak, then you might be able to change the code to display something else instead of just the plain password on the page. Hacking a website and changing it is not difficult, but you will need to know what you are doing or you could end up having some pretty bad results. Some of the things that you might want to consider if you are wondering how to hack a website and change it includes finding out if there is any type of cross-site scripting.
If the hackers already have some knowledge of the programming language that the website is using. Another thing to consider is if there is any type of cross-browser compatibility issue between the website and one of the different browsers that support the script that is being used on the website. Then, if you have the right information on the file that needs to be hacked, you will be able to find all of the information that you need to carry out the hacking process successfully.

I am so stressed recently. I have finished step1 step2ck with average scores. Got an offer of 1-month observership in a university hospital. With support from my family and friends who is also going to apply this year. However, even with all these help, I am still struggling everyday with asking documents like MSPE, asking help about minicex and more observership, quit my current job although its salary can only pay off my rent and daily fees. With the fear of being lost in the next year, being stuck at pathway application, making mistakes in the rotation or ERAS documents, I feel so stressed and deprived. And I know almost everyone feels the same as me. Initially I just want to express my feelings here. Now I feel these worries may be meaningless. We should go ahead with no doubt about ourselves. Best wishes for us. And welcome to share your feelings in this post.

Hey there,
Can you tell me the median rent price in Buenos Aires for the long term? What website do you use to look it up? Also, when I type in "Buenos Aires" a bunch of names shows up - which should I select for the most accurate result? I tried Zonaprop, and it said the median rent was $1161 - is that right? I may have chosen the wrong options.
And what are some of the other major cities in Argentina that you like?
Thanks

This is a long one, sorry guys!! I'm a first time home buyer, with a unique situation. I'm looking for a condo in the $250 or less range. A little background: My mom has been helping me with housing costs since I started nursing school, and she has decided it makes more sense for her to buy a condo as a second home but give it to me when I graduate and can take over the mortgage. Extremely kind of her, I am really so eternally greatful and am NOT making this post to bitch or complain. I have to be out of my apartment by July due to my landlord's situation changing, but when I was looking for other places to rent I did not qualify anymore unless I paid the full year up front and a lot of places don't do that. I dropped to part time hours at work when I started school. She is doing 70k for the down payment because she would be paying the same amount or more for 3 years rent anyway. If I rent she will never get that $ back, but when I sell I can give it right back to her. And she gets the tax writeoff. I've seen about 30 places so far...some are extremely nice, some just need some updating, and some are godawful. We won all the offers we put in for the places that needed some work or updating but we've had to pull them all due to things like 1.) lead paint so couldn't do the updates we wanted without extreme expense and headache 2.) one had downright crazy HOA rules that weren't disclosed and 3.) another had an underground oil tank and the sewer line was leaking.
Due to these above issues, now she wants to go with one of the really really nice ones (brand new renovated units) BUT isn't willing to bid high enough based on whatever asking is. Hard to explain but for example the offers we won on the places with issues were $235 (asking $225); $210 (asking $215), and $242 (asking $239) so the AMOUNT isn't the issue. The really nice ones have much higher competiton...if my realtor says a place will go for X amount over, she won't do it and we lose the place. One asked for $215, my realtor said we're wasting our time if we didn't offer at LEAST $235... but mom said that's ridiculous, I'm only offering $225. Obviously lost it. One place was a newly renovated 1250 sqft 2bed/2bath...they were asking $219, but offered to cancel their open house and accept if we would do $225 because they had just closed on their new home and were desperate to sell. She said no, she wouldn't go over $222, they can go ahead and have the open house and she's willing to gamble...probably going to lose this one tomorrow. Rinse and repeat. She doesn't seem to understand the state of the market right now, and doesn't seem to believe that people are asking low just to get people in and start bidding wars. Inventory is low and competition is high. I have to move out by July...we would have to find a place by May at the very latest because of the time it takes to close. I feel at this rate we will never get anything. We've exhausted literally almost all the options in inventory in the areas we wanted (Bergen, Passaic, Essex counties). She keeps telling me to trust her and that she knows what she's doing, but with the way this market is it doesn't seem to be a strategy that will go anywhere. Would it make more sense for me to just throw in the towel and tell her I'm going to just try to find another place to rent?? I don't want to have to scramble at the last second to find a LL that agrees to take the whole year rent and end up with a place I hate, an awful landlord, or whatever. Any advice in how we should change our gameplan or more info on the ins/outs of the market would be greatly appreciated!!

So I get a speedway delivery at about 4:30 in the morning. It's six chocolate YooHoos and a 2 l of 7UP. I'm thinking that's kind of weird but okay. So I get to the drop off location . The guy comes out of the apartment and shuts the door behind him. I give him the bag , which is paper and almost busting open. He says thank you turns to walk back in the apartment he stops silent for 2 seconds, he says well hold on I'm thinking he's going to get attached tip. He turns back around and says "can I pray over you?". I was so confused at that point because I thought he was joking. He wanted me to come in his apartment so he could pray over me. He says he is a prophet of God and a real life healer. His eyes were so glazed over. I can only imagine what kind of curse he would have put on me if I had to let him.

I'm posting this to mostly vent most of my support circle is asleep in diffrent timezones and I don't have anyone in person with me so I really don't have anyone to talk to unless I want to wake someone up and I don't really want to do that.
For context, I am an otherwise healthy 26 year old male.
Friday i went in for a appointment at my university clinic because on Tuesday I fell down 3 times walking home and the last time i fell i was in a crosswalk and i was not able to stand on my on my legs just stopped responding to what i wanted them to do(I live like a mile from the school) and they recommended me to get an MRI. I talked to them a little more, and they basically recomend me to go to the ER. As my symptoms are pretty severe, both my legs are hyper reflexive, and there is clonus in both of my feet.
And like I said, I fell down in the street and could not stand back up. I have been falling down since around January, and while I had some trouble getting up a few times sitting in the middle of the road, helplessness was absolutely terrifying for me. I vividly remember grabbing my leg and dragging it with my arms, trying to get to a sitting position so I could attempt to stand up. Thankfully, someone got out of his car and helped me up. He even gave me a ride to my apartment, but I really hate that feeling of needing help at all.
Fast forward, like 2ish hours on friday, and I'm in the ER they are telling me they want a neurologist to come down and look at me. She says that she thinks something is wrong with my nervous system and that they need to run a bunch of MRIs on me and that they were recommending me to be hospitalized.
I did around 2 and a half hours of MRIs (like 3 or 4 areas, I think, and contrasts) on saturday morning. At around 2 in the afternoon, a doctor came in and told me they had the MRI results and wanted the neurologist to look at them before they came to any conclusions.
At around 6ish the night shit doc came in and told me that there where like 5 plauques on my brain, and while they still have to rule things out that the neurologist on this weekend and the other docs think it might be MS and that they wanted to start me on highdose steroids asap and that they will continue to evaluate and adjust if needed.
I just got my first dose of steroids (1250 mg), and I am already noticing that my symptoms are lessening. my legs are responding like I want them to that I am walking better. Also, the spasms in my legs I was not even really registering as a problem have stopped, and the numbness and tingling is going away.
I think they are doing a lumbar tap tomorrow. And I have at least 2 more doses of steroids prescribed unless something changes. This means I'm in the hospital through at least Monday.
I really don't know what to do or feel this whole situation is really overwhelming.
I had plans this weekend and I have class on Monday. I really can't miss more class. I have already missed to much class because of my depression flaried up(diagnosed since 2021 not currently medicated). I know I need to email my professors but it is really fucking hard for me. I don't like asking for help or making excuses and logically I know this is not really either of those, but I still don't like feeling I guess, needy.
Like I really don't like that they are taking me everywhere in the hospital in a wheel chair, again I know logically I shouldn't be but I'm a 26 tear old guy and I can walk (barely at this point) and it feels like I'm losing independence and I do t like that.
Sorry for the long winded post and any formatting errors this is all typed on my phone because I didn't know I was going to be hospitalized I thought I could just get the MRI and go home or just schedule it.
One more thing that's really upsetting me is that I have been having some issues walking dating back to like may-june of last year and I brought it up a few times to my primary care who kind of brushed me off. Like I was telling people that something was fucked up with my nervous system and even if ends up not being MS I was right and should have pushed harder because something was obviously wrong.
Sorry for the order too by the way this is mostly a stream of conscious.

I think one of the reasons LibreOffice is so behind MS Office or now called 360 it's because of the lack of a simple way for the community to get heard, I recently contributed a bit o Logseq (the best PKM in town in my opinion, way better than proprietary softwares) and the Discord experience was so smooth, I asked for help they pointed to a plug in creator that was coding just what I need and later the plug in was officially integrated and supported, LibreOffice misses compleatly this feature, the community isn't really heard and if it is it takes a long time.
The forum is a very old and inefficient way, apart for very expert users the forum is too complicated to navigate and use, takes ages to get a response, the telegram group is just not a very intelligent move, the majority of people doesn't have telegram and it isn't as modular as discord the same goes for reddit
LibreOffice really needs a discord to organize community effort and get more people in the game

I’ve seen a few posts on this thread about the negative aspects of being a lodger versus a tenant. I thought I would share some of the benefits and open this thread up for discussion about additional pros/cons not listed here.
Full disclosure that I currently have a lodger renting my spare room in London, and it has only been a positive experience for both of us so far. The following are based on conversations we’ve had:

1. Flexibility: Although this does work both ways, being a lodger instead of a tenant is ideal if you don’t know how long you need to stay somewhere. I use a 30 day notice period for both of us, and my current lodger has plans to serve this notice soon but has the flexibility to choose this to line up perfectly with the move-in date of her next place with her partner. There’s also the benefit of not being locked into a 12+ month contract if your circumstances change
2. Lower costs for furnishings and household items: This is actually quite substantial and often overlooked. Lodgers don’t usually have to bring anything for the flat aside from their own bedding/towels. If you flatshare with another tenant, you could easily spend £300+ each on household appliances, cooking equipment and furnishings, even for a furnished flat
3. Living with someone who knows the local area: This is good for anyone but especially those new to the area. The live-in landlord can give you recommendations and may even show you local spots that you wouldn’t have found otherwise
4. Instant access to the person with the power to fix any issues that arise, rather than going through an estate agent
5. Less admin: The landlord deals with all of the bill accounts. After the initial right to rent checks etc, you transfer money once a month and that’s your house admin complete. No having to cancel/transfer bill accounts every time you move
6. Misc: There are quite a few small advantages that aren’t a given everywhere but would be fairly common, such as Netflix/prime/NowTV access, not spending money on cleaning products/kitchen roll/dishwasher tablets/coffee pods etc

I’m not discounting the difference in power dynamic and the lack of certainty around length of stay, these are definitely the main cons of being a lodger. Another con is not having your name on utility bills, which can make opening some accounts harder.
Overall, there are both pros and cons, but there are some situations where the pros outweigh the cons. And although being a lodger is particularly beneficial if you need a shorter term arrangement, you may even find that being a lodger is more stable than being a tenant. This is because the landlord is likely to have a fixed mortgage for 2-5 years and isn’t beholden to any 12-month rental contracts themselves, so if you find the right person (and the landlord feels the same way about you), you may be able to stay living there for longer than comparable tenancies and without yearly major increases in rent.

Hello. This is a repost.
It is hard to describe the urges, my body feels like exploding and I feel extreme emotional pain constantly and I know I would feel the ultimate relief if I would hurt someone.
Before I describe the fantasies I have to say that I know that this is very immoral and I really don't want to act on it.
I can't describe it in detail cause I don't want to get suspended again but it is mostly about violently killing and raping innocents.
I think it is mostly about confronting people with things that they find disgusting is what gets me off.
My main problem aren't the fantasies itself, it helped me to feel good at first but after some time they became urges in real life, this is what really hurts, how my body and mind feels when I have those urges.
My Life was disgusting way before those urges but this made everything 100x worse.
Those urges began when I was 13 or so, I had the urge to hurt my dog, I remember my first sadistic urge, my dog was sleeping and I cuddled with him and then I had the urge to crush him, it felt extremely weird but I didn't mind. The first fantasies were when I realized how I got abused, I fantasized about murdering others constantly after that.
As I said I am pretty sure why I have those urges, I got abused massively in my childhood and my childhood generally was very bad.
In the Kindergarten I was very feared of social contact and didn't talk with anyone.
In the elementary school it got really bad, out of nowhere a "friend" forced me to show my penis, he said he would beat me up if I wouldn't show him so I did even though I didn't want to, another "friend" always touched my nipples and he didn't care that I said that it hurts. In this time I saw sexuality as something disgusting that only works if one person is hurt and I am pretty sure this is why I have rape fantasies cause my subconscious still thinks that even though I am against sexual violence. As far as I know is that they did it cause they were abused by pedophiles.
After Elementary school I thought everything has gotten better but it got worse when I visited my father, he had aggression problems so he had beaten me up multiple times and had to hide in a room and was extremely scared to go out. He also had a disease so he would puke a lot of blood, it was normal for me to see liters of human blood. He also showed me how to hang myself. The worst thing he did was when I visited my grandma and she was sleeping, everything was fine but then he grabbed a knife and threatened me and laughed at me when I was scared, the inner terror I felt. I also saw his corpse when he died and I cried cause I haven't seen a corpse and I was only 12.
After that I came in a new class and everything there was ok but then I got a crush on a girl and I told a "friend" and he said that he tells her if I didn't tell her myself so I did and she was scared and told everyone and then I got bullied, this has hurt really bad cause I trusted her and deeply loved her and constantly fantasized about being with her.
It was a really bad time but I could still feel love back then.
Then my grandma died and the last bit of love in me, I cried so much.
After that it was too much for me, I looked up videos of corpses and people dying to ease the pain and to normalize it for me and it worked but a bit too good, I began to watch gore excessively.
It became even worse when I realized how I got abused, then I fantasized about doing those things in real life and then the urges follow.
In that time I saw the old "friend" and hoped that he is better now but the first thing he does is sexually assault me, I asked him why he did this and he said because he had the urge to, this was very creepy for me cause he probably feels like myself except that he acts on it cause he can't endure the disgusting feeling of that urge.
I tried to break the contact with him and said I didn't like him cause he assaults me and this hurts me even more and he said he would better himself but then some weeks later his friend who forced me to show my penis in elementary school texted me that he would beat me up if I don't give them money, this made me feel an extreme amount of anger.
I told my other friends that he sexually assaulted me but they don't care.
I can't go out alone cause he has many strong people and I don't want to get beaten up my him, last helloween he searched for me to kill me.
I do the same thing I did when I got bullied in the past, not going out and just sitting in front of my pc after school, in the past it works but now I constantly feel the urge to hurt others.
It is kinda ironic how it hasn't changed a bit, in the past I distanced myself from others cause I was scared that they would hurt me and now I do the same thing but cause I am scared of myself.
I am also constantly scared that others will hurt me.
What is also bad is that I am really bad at impulse control, I was extremely angry in the past and destroyed every object in my room but this wasn't that bad cause it was only objects and not humans.
I think the best example of how I feel for this urges is how a person who is mentally addicted to a drug feels when they don't take it for long, they can stop it but will always have the urge to take it and they will also do that if they don't monitor themself but the difference is that while they would just get the drug issues if they don't watch themself I would rape or kill someone.
It is mental torture this pressure that I feel, it is probably one of the worst mental conditions.
I also can't feel love anymore.
I tried many psychologists but it just made it worse. The first and second one said that my problems are too big for them. The third one said that my urges scare him and that I don't have to wonder that no one likes me if I fantasize about others in that way which hurt me.
Cause I tried to kill myself I now have to go to a psychiatry everyday and there a therapist talks with me, but what I find weird is that everytime she asks if I can assure that I don't kill myself or others, for the first point I believe that it is my choice to die alone and for the second question I always feel like a monster.
And besides that I am really scared to talk about this with other people.
And also I am pretty sure this isn't ocd, I enjoy these fantasies sometimes and now they are also urges not only thoughts.
I tried anypsychotics but it just makes the urges worse.
And also in the psychiatry a 10 year old said weird things about murder and cause of that they thought that I told him this cause it matches my fantasies even though I would never tell a child those things, this is what I get I get suspected for weird things just because I am honest with my thoughts to my therapist, this also hurt me, after that I got more scared to talk about my thoughts.
I think another big problem is that I have always lived in my fantasy world instead of socializing but it was all ok until the fantasies became so dark.
My plan is to try therapy until I am 18 (I am 16 right now), then get an apartment, buy the things necessary for inert gas and end my life without pain, I am to scared to hang myself or whatever.
My life is just nothing that I would've called "fun" anymore, in the past I loved it to play with my friends or play games, now all I do is fantasize about killing others or masturbating while thinking about rape, this is just disgusting if I think about it.
I can never cuddle with a future girlfriend without having the urge to hurt her or be with friends without having the urge to hurt them, it just just mental torture for me.
Castration wouldn't work cause many urges are non sexual, the masturbation is just a bit of relief for it.

Just a vent because I have no one to talk to. I grew up shy and I am autistic, so it's hard to make friends. I had a friend in 5th grade, but due to military, they had to move. Since then, met my first girlfriend in 8th grade. 9th grade, on Halloween, she took her life due to issues with family. After that, I met my best friend. He got me to continue going out and see more people. He got me with my next girlfriend and after 6 years of being with her, I broke up with her. She also didn't know how to care for animals and I had to bury newborn puppies. She was mentally and physically abusive. Then, shortly after, my best friend killed himself and I saw his corpse. His suicide note was covered in blood and brain matter. I found my next girlfriend shortly after, but she ended up cheating with another guy, got pregnant and left after 3 years. After that, I gave up. I spent time traveling the states and met lots of people and had a great time. I found my 4th girlfriend and it was long distance. We traveled every few months to see each other and it was actually amazing. After 4 years of dating her, she started talking about meeting people closer. I knew it was over. Months later, she left me saying she didn't love me anymore. When I asked her about it, she just said, "Please. No. :(" Once that relationship ended, I gave up entirely on dating. During these relationships, I had 6 friends. One got drunk and drove 2 others into the wrong lane and they all died. The other 3 took their lives and left me here alone. I've been spending a lot of time trying to develop new relationships just to find out that they are all fake. If they can't use and abuse you, they don't want anything to do with you. It's either that or they have no interest in me. I work so hard and do so much for everyone. I never expect anything from anyone, but it makes me feel unappreciated. I care about people but no one seems to care about me. I have my family, but they live across the country. I live alone and it seems like no matter how hard I try, no one ever cares to be a friend. They hang out with their friends and post it all the time. I always ask to hang out and they make it seem like it's going to happen, but they always cancel or some emergency comes up. I've heard all the excuses, legitimate or not. I get things happen, but it's just annoying. Billions of people in the world and not one wants to be my friend. I've done a lot of self care and worked hard to not be a negative person, but it's hard not to be when the world rejects your very existence. Even in the Army, it's difficult to make friends. But also, because I'm in the Army, people turn away instantly without ever getting to know me. I literally just want friends that genuinely care. People say to be comfortable with being alone. I've been comfortable with it for 29 years. I'm an introvert and I enjoy my time alone. It just gets old and boring after so many years. People don't understand because they are used to having friends and were never forced to be alone for so long. People would always bully me and call me a school shooter for my emo looks. I don't have the look anymore, but I still get people saying I'll shoot the place up. I don't care to hurt anyone. I'm just a lonely and sad person. I've exhausted all my hobbies and whenever I try doing new things, nothing works. I've been to therapy, took medicine, but nothing seems to help. I really don't know what to do anymore. I want friends so badly, but no one cares to be one. I've done so much for my "friends" and would buy them food, take them to cool places, and we'd always have a good time. Lots of them had no car and I was always driving people around. I call them fake friends because I knew they used me. They made it clear when they ghosted me or purposely ignored me. I'm just tired of fake people. I just want to go out and hang out with people and have a good time. I feel like I'm just not good at finding the right people. I work so hard and it all just falls apart in the end. I'm sure there are plenty of others out there dealing with similar issues too. For those out there dealing with loneliness, don't give up. It's not worth the pain to those that do care. I've attempted to take my life 4 times, but each time failed. First one was rope and it hurt so I chickened out. Second and third time were with a knife, but again I got scared. Last one was with a gun that I cleaned well. It had no safety and for some reason my body froze. I screamed as loud as I could and froze in a cold sweat. The trigger was pulled and it didn't fire. I gave up and decided to live on. I live to see what I would have missed out on. I want to experience happiness, no matter how little it is. I still haven't seemed to have found that happiness, but I am still able to keep going because I know someday life will change for the better. I've come to a point to where I am comfortable in my own skin and I am doing much better. I just want those struggling out there to know that things do get better. The only one who can change it though is you. If you hate things, change it. The best thing about humans is that we have the ability to change and grow. Sorry for all the text, but I just really didn't know what else to do. The loneliness was consuming me and driving me crazy.

I'm going to be moving back the Springfield area soon and was wondering if there are any locations where you can drop off recycling if you live in an apartment complex that doesn't have recycling included with trash removal. I don't mind paying a bit, but the locations I've found so far only let you drop stuff off if you're already paying for their trash removal services. Thanks in advance! I know there's a location in Decatur, but I'd rather not have to drive that far. Thanks in advance! :)

Two hours since the invasion began
The invasion is a success. Thousands of savages have been purged and dozens captured. Not as frightening as the vision said, but the description holds true. These are the pale skin. Strangely, some of them have very dark skin and some even have skin as brown as a dwarf's. Strange indeed. Most men were taller than elves and Rosians but not as tall as an orc.
"Excellent.", Ylindar said as he observed the captives being sent through the rift, "They will be fine specimens for studying. We must find their weakness."
The 'humans', as they called themselves, resisted but fell in line eventually. The smaller ones cried and called out to their parents. It made the Rosians present sick. One of the women broke the line and ran to Ylindar. "Please! Stop this! Why are you doing this? Who are you?", she said through tears and shaking breaths.
Ylindar slapped her, causing her to fall to the ground. "Silence you wench! You are not worthy of being in my presence, let alone speak to me. Take her!". Soldiers hoisted her up and dragged her towards the others.
"You monsters!", yelled a man, "You will pay for this! You will all die her-". Before he could say more, Ylindar pierced his chest with his sword. Then he turned to the rest of the captives, "Any more of you savages willing to test me?"
"Stop!", yelled the Rosian captain present, "I demand you give us our share now."
Ylindar raised an eyebrow to that, "Your share?"
"Yes. We fought, pillaged, and brought captives. We did what you asked and now it is your turn to keep your end of the deal."
This made Ylindar chuckle, but he would humor the young Rosian, "Very well. We are an honorable empire after all. You may choose ten captives and split them amongst yourselves."
"Ten?"
"Yes. Take them now before I change my mind."
The captain faced the captains. In truth, he wanted to save the weak and innocent ones from suffering, but he couldn't save them all. He pointed to them one by one, picking out the children and elderly first as well as a woman with a child and a strong tall man who fought against the ferals and dwarves. Perhaps he could give them some insight.
"You over exceed Rosian. I said ten.", said Ylindar.
"This is ten people."
"She counts as two.", he said as he pointed to the pregnant woman.
"She is with child. That is unfair."
"And what will you do about it?"
The captain stuttered. He wanted to save her but it would mean dooming another life. What was he to do? He cursed Ylindar internally. Honorable? Horse shit.
"Leave me.", said the tall human, "Leave me behind and take her. Please." The captain was stunned, to say the least.
"Excellent", said Ylindar, "It appears you can bring them all. Enjoy your spoils.". With that, he left.
The woman thanked the tall man who then grabbed the captain by the arm and looked him in the eyes. "If anything happens to her, I will hold you responsible.", he said.
The captain nodded, "You have my word, warrior.". The man was dragged to the elven slave lines and pushed through the rift.
Ylindar was sitting at his desk writing a letter to the troops on the other side, saying the invasion was a success and a foothold was established. Handing the letter to a messenger he got up and walked to observe his army. Ten thousand elves, all gathered in a barbaric land to bring civilization. He looked up in the sky and saw the wyverns flying through the air. As he looked at them he didn't feel proud, he felt confused. There were too few of them. He brought fifty wyverns, which is half of an army's corps. Now there were less than two dozen. How?
His question would be answered as several strange contraptions flew in the air at the wyverns. They didn't have wings but still flew in a straight line. The wyverns outnumbered them and Ylindar assumed this was a victory, but his hopes were crushed as the contraptions fired what looked like cannons and tore through the wyverns like a sword through parchment.
He stepped back in shock and watched as the cannon-wielding machines finished the wyverns and turned towards them.
"General!", called a soldier, "Enemy carriages approach! It appears to be their army!"
Ylindar grinned, "At last. Soldiers of the light! Prepare yourselves! The savages have finally sent their warriors! We will crush them and clear a path for our reinforcements! Formations!"
The infantry prepared their shields and spears, archers and mages took their positions, it was time to face this world's true force. The metal carriages halted and out of them came out dozens of soldiers. Then dozens more came from flying contraptions.
Raising his sword, Ylindar yelled out the order, "Attack!".
---
"Here they come!", yelled Paterson.
"Open fire!", ordered Jefferson. The rifles, machine guns, and grenade launchers wreaked havoc upon the enemy. Bullets tore through shields, machine guns ripped people apart, and explosions turned any poor fool near it into minced meat. Their tight formations only added to their demise.
The attack helicopters arrived when they finished the dragon things and opened fire with their chain guns and anti-infantry rockets. The enemies fell by the thousands and some even started to retreat while most fell to their knees and begged for mercy.
When the firing stopped all that was left of the ten thousand enemy soldiers were scorched bodies riddled with holes. There was almost nothing left of their camp. The screaming soldiers were taken into custody. All but one guy with a cape.
"You-You dare!", yelled the blue-skinned man, "Do you have any idea who I am!? Who I represent!? You shall suffer for your barbarism!". He drew his sword and ran to the nearest soldier, who promptly raised his rifle and shot him in the chest twice.
"Round them all up.", ordered Jefferson, "Send word to HQ that it's over."
The enemy captives were loaded up into trucks and sent to Fort Curz for questioning. As they were being loaded up, one of the blue soldiers started smiling and chuckling. "What's so funny?", asked Paterson.
"This is only the beginning.", he replied. Paterson widened his eyes and ran to Jefferson.
"Sir!"
"What is it?"
"I just information on the attack. This was the first wave. More are coming."
Jefferson wasted no time in reacting and grabbed his radio, "All units, prepare for a second attack! Air squadrons, hold your positions until enough of them group up and shot down those dragons! Don't waste ammo!"
"Rodger that.", said a pilot. The guard and police force pulled back and created a semi-circle out of armored vehicles facing the portal. Hundreds of rifles and machine guns were pointed toward the shining rectangle.
---
Captain Zorgin led the second wave through the rift. The remaining forty thousand elves and ten thousand dwarves marched to the other side. But something wasn't right. When the messenger arrived he reported that the invasion was a success, but later dozens of soldiers came back saying that they should not go through. They came saying how the savages have great machines of death capable of destroying armies. Be that as it may, general Ylindar was out there and Zorgin swore he would bring him back.
"General Bardek!", he called, "You will lead the charge with your troops. After you get through, our cavalry and wyverns will enter and attack."
"Right.", said Bardek, "I can't let Dalmin have all the fun after all.". He rushed forward on his war hog, leading his troops. "Warriors of Nundolar! The enemy we face is formidable! But we will show them the might of dwarven steel!". The dwarven warrior roared and charged through the rift. As soon as they passed through they were met with a horrid sight.
Thousands dead and burned, the camp nor the general could be seen, only the line of carriages and hundreds of enemy soldiers. Bardek didn't stop to think. The adrenalin carried him forward. He charged with his troops, screaming and firing, hoping he could break the enemy's defenses. But hopes were not enough. The enemy opened fire and Bardek experienced true fear. His hog was shot and he fell to the ground. The enemy's boomsticks fired without stopping, their cannons killed dozens of soldiers with each blast, and they couldn't even get close. His pride, his dwarven pride, was broken. He could only lie down and pray he would survive.
Zorgin led his cavalry through. He looked for his general but found nothing but dead bodies and ash. He snapped back as he heard cannon fire and redirected his troops. "Over there! Their flank is less defended! We will break it, come on!". Leading the cavalry charge he kept observing the enemy. They had strange-looking black shields and only a single line between two carriages. They opened fire with their boomsticks and Zorgin's cavalry started taking casualties but still held on. Zorgin was closing in, but then the enemy soldiers fired some sort of metal boxes that spewed smoke. 'What trickery is this?', Zorgin thought, but when the smoke spread and got into their eyes, they understood its purpose. It made their eyes burn and they could hardly breathe. The horses were affected the same way as they stopped in their tracks. They couldn't see anything but they felt as if they were knocked out.
More and more soldiers exited the rift and with their sheer numbers, they were starting to get close. But as they did, the flying monsters of metal rained fire upon them and their numbers kept dropping. The wyverns were blown to pieces by either them or the cannons. It wasn't a battle, it was more of a one-sided slaughter. Only a few dozen were able to run back to the rift. Most were either wounded, screaming from the killer smoke or just lying down and surrendered. Surprisingly, the enemy took them captive instead of killing them. Zorgin tried to resist but to no avail.
"Where is general Ylindar?!", he yelled as he was dragged, "I demand you answer me immediately!"
One of the soldiers in light brown armor came up to him and grabbed him by the arm and dragged him in another direction. After stopping he pushed him to his knees. "Here.", he spoke, "Is this him?"
Zorgin could barely see, his vision was foggy, but there was no mistaking it. The armor, the cape, the helmet, it was him. Zorgin shed tears of regret, regret that he failed in his duty.
"I'll take that as a yes.", said the soldier before lifting Zorgin back on his feet.
"You haven't won!", Zorgin yelled, "Our fleet has taken your shores by now! Soon enough, more ships will follow and you will perish!"
"I wouldn't worry about that.", said the soldier in a calm tone, leaving Zorgin puzzled.
---
Three hours earlier
South coast of California, Del Mar, near San Diego
Admiral Lothar Tanros has passed through the rift. Large enough for more than a dozen ships to pass through it advanced his progress. Each fleet was well-equipped for an invasion. It consisted of twenty troop carriers with held ten thousand troops in total, thirty attack ships with eight cannons, five wyvern carriers with five to six wyverns each, and forty-five supply ships with materials necessary to build and sustain the fleet and build a coastal fortification. All are led by the admiral's personal grand ship. A huge naval vessel with several sails and cannons on both sides. Truly a powerful presentation.
"Admiral!", shouted the first mate, "Land is within sight!"
"Excellent!", said Lothar, "Let the wyvern carriers pass through first. I want air superiority as soon as possible. Along with them, I want half of our troop carriers. We need to take the shore immediately."
"Yes, admiral!".
---
Lieutenant Mitch Floyd was just doing his routine patrols. It was his turn to take the patrol boat for a spin. All he had to do was go to Dana point and back, simple, he's done it dozens of times before. All the while the crew was gathered around a TV and watching the live recordings of the attack in North Carolina. What they felt was beyond words.
"Sir, how can you not watch this?", asked a crew member.
"It's cause I trust our boys to kill those freaks.", Mitch replied, "Don't you?"
"W-Well of course but, damn. This shit is insane. Gotta say I'm jealous, I kinda want to shoot some dragons."
"Careful watch you wish for, kid.". As Mitch sailed on he began to notice something strange in front. A large number of wooden ships heading towards Del mar. In the sky were large dragon-like reptiles. 'Just my luck.", Mitch thought.
"Battle stations!", ordered Mitchel, "Looks like your wish came true Fred!"
Fred looked out and saw three dragons flying toward them, "Holy shit! I didn't mean now!". He ran towards the .50 caliber machine gun and readied himself. The cyclone class patrol boat wasn't something to be messed with. As the dragons got closer, the 25mm machine gun raised itself, aimed, and let loose. The lizards couldn't even react before they got turned into Swiss cheese.
"Woohoo!", cheered Fred, "We got 'em!"
"Don't open the champagne just yet!", Mitch shouted, "We still have those ships to deal with. I count roughly a hundred, various sizes. Richerdson, get in contact with HQ! Tell them what's going on, we need air support. Alert the National guard as well."
"Yes, sir!", said Richerdson.
'God help us.', Mitch thought as he sailed into the fray.
---
"Admiral!", yelled the first mate, "Some of our wyverns have been killed."
"Where?", Lothar asked.
"They spotted a ship coming from the south and decided to deal with it, but now they're dead."
"A single ship?"
"That is what the captain said."
"Tell them to send what attack ships are near to destroy it. Nothing must disrupt this invasion."
"Yes, Admiral."
On the shore, the savages run. They run from the water and into their city. The wyverns already started swooping down and devouring them. Their soldiers in blue clothing fired at them with their boomsticks but did next to nothing. A few managed to shoot down the riders, but that didn't stop the wyverns themselves. Now that the shore was empty, the troops could move in. Dozens of landing boats rowed to the shore and dropped off hundreds of soldiers who rallied and attacked the savages, but their weapons halted the assault.
"Push through!", yelled a lieutenant, "They are few in numbers! We must clear a path!". At that moment, two wyverns descended unto their carriages and destroyed the soldiers in blue. With that, the cohort marched on and reached the wide road. However, in the distance, they saw more metal carriages, but these were bigger and in a different color, with large boomsticks on top. The wyverns flew at them, but they soon got shot down and the carriages halted. Out of them came dozens of enemy soldiers, all dressed in vastly different armor than their blue counterparts.
The cohort got into a shield formation and the mages prepared to block the enemy's weapons, but they couldn't. Their magic wasn't working. "Do not falter!", the lieutenant shouted, "We must-". His mouth stopped moving as soon as it got blown to pieces by the enemy. The shields and armor provided them with no protection. They were all cut down and the enemy advanced. More and more of their carriages arrived and they quickly retook the shore.
"Admiral, we have a problem on the shore.", said the first mate.
"I can see that!", yelled Lothar, "Tell the attack ships to form a firing line and destroy the enemy! We cannot let them... are you listening?". The first mate pointed out towards the approaching ships in the distance. Five of them, two large and the rest smaller, all made of metal, and above them over a dozen flying arrowheads, dropping what looked like eggs. Each 'egg' landed on a ship and blew it to pieces. Dozens of ships were destroyed just like that. Lothar didn't have the words to express himself. He kept looking toward the enemy ships as they aimed their cannons and fired from impossible distances. The crew panicked and begged for help, but Lothar couldn't say anything. In his final moments, he watched as a giant metal rod flew into the sky from one of the ships and blew him to pieces along with his crew and ship.
---
"Boom!", cheered Fred, "They got the big one!"
"Shut up!", shouted Mitch, "Let's do what we came here to do.". He guided his cyclone patrol boat along with another one towards the enemy 'landing crafts'. The two opened fire with their 25mm chainguns they tore through the boats and ripped the soldiers inside apart, scattering their remains across the water. Along the way, they picked up the handful of survivors and tied them up.
In the main battle, two destroyers, USS Dewey-2, and Cutter opened fire on the enemy fleet. They targeted the largest ones first, and when they were done they moved on to the armed ships. The enemy was in complete chaos. Destroying the lead ship with the cruiser missile was a good idea, now they were leaderless and easy to take out.
The jets destroyed the ships on the outer formations and later moved inwards. Eventually, there were only thirteen ships left. Four had cannons and nine looked like they just carried supplies. They surrendered and raised white flags, a smart move. The coast guard boarded and cleared all of them before arresting the crew and towing the ships back.
"This is quite a mess lieutenant.", Fred said.
"It is. You just had to wish for a dragon, huh?"
Now that the attacks were stopped, the hard part began. Counting the losses and making a plan for what to do next.

Their soldiers in blue clothing fired at them with their boomsticks but did next to nothing. A few managed to shoot down the riders, but that didn't stop the wyverns themselves. Now that the shore was empty, the troops could move in. Dozens of landing boats rowed to the shore and dropped off hundreds of soldiers who rallied and attacked the savages, but their weapons halted the assault.
"Push through!", yelled a lieutenant, "They are few in numbers! We must clear a path!". At that moment, two wyverns descended unto their carriages and destroyed the soldiers in blue. With that, the cohort marched on and reached the wide road. However, in the distance, they saw more metal carriages, but these were bigger and in a different color, with large boomsticks on top. The wyverns flew at them, but they soon got shot down and the carriages halted. Out of them came dozens of enemy soldiers, all dressed in vastly different armor than their blue counterparts.
The cohort got into a shield formation and the mages prepared to block the enemy's weapons, but they couldn't. Their magic wasn't working. "Do not falter!", the lieutenant shouted, "We must-". His mouth stopped moving as soon as it got blown to pieces by the enemy. The shields and armor provided them with no protection. They were all cut down and the enemy advanced. More and more of their carriages arrived and they quickly retook the shore.
"Admiral, we have a problem on the shore.", said the first mate.
"I can see that!", yelled Lothar, "Tell the attack ships to form a firing line and destroy the enemy! We cannot let them... are you listening?". The first mate pointed out towards the approaching ships in the distance. Five of them, two large and the rest smaller, all made of metal, and above them over a dozen flying arrowheads, dropping what looked like eggs. Each 'egg' landed on a ship and blew it to pieces. Dozens of ships were destroyed just like that. Lothar didn't have the words to express himself. He kept looking toward the enemy ships as they aimed their cannons and fired from impossible distances. The crew panicked and begged for help, but Lothar couldn't say anything. In his final moments, he watched as a giant metal rod flew into the sky from one of the ships and blew him to pieces along with his crew and ship.

"Boom!", cheered Fred, "They got the big one!"
"Shut up!", shouted Mitch, "Let's do what we came here to do.". He guided his cyclone patrol boat along with another one towards the enemy 'landing crafts'. The two opened fire with their 25mm chainguns they tore through the boats and ripped the soldiers inside apart, scattering their remains across the water. Along the way, they picked up the handful of survivors and tied them up.
In the main battle, two destroyers, USS Dewey-2, and Cutter opened fire on the enemy fleet. They targeted the largest ones first, and when they were done they moved on to the armed ships. The enemy was in complete chaos. Destroying the lead ship with the cruiser missile was a good idea, now they were leaderless and easy to take out.
The jets destroyed the ships on the outer formations and later moved inwards. Eventually, there were only thirteen ships left. Four had cannons and nine looked like they just carried supplies. They surrendered and raised white flags, a smart move. The coast guard boarded and cleared all of them before arresting the crew and towing the ships back.
"This is quite a mess lieutenant.", Fred said.
"It is. You just had to wish for a dragon, huh?"
Now that the attacks were stopped, the hard part began. Counting the losses and making a plan for what to do next.

Hi!! Okay so I’m starting a baby sitting job soon. I know it’s legit because i’ve met the family before so i’m not worried about that. The problem is she’s moving soon and needs help with the movers, am I able to proceed with what she’s asking me to do? Here’s the email she sent;
Hello,
I am having a little challenge concerning the Mover fee that will be handling all my household goods items to the new apartment. I am still at the hospital and I need you to do me a favor. The Private Mover does not accept credit cards and requires payment upfront via direct deposit into his account.
I would like to the total amount $3,100 check to you while you will deduct $500 for your deposit fees and the remaining balance for the mover fee to pick up household items from my previous place to the new apartment, when payment clears into your account you will help me transfer the mover fund to their bank account as his charges for balance of his service fee and handling the pickup and drop off too. I would have preferred to sort his payment by myself but I am presently in the hospital scheduled for surgery for my hearing impaired condition. I am willing to pay you a tip of $100 for your time if you could assist with this favor. Kindly get back to me, if this is okay with you.
Thanks.

A clean environment is essential for our health, productivity, and overall well-being. However, with busy schedules and a never-ending list of responsibilities, keeping our living and working spaces spotless can be a daunting task. Enter cleaning services – the secret to a hassle-free, immaculately clean life. In this blog post, we'll delve into the advantages of hiring professional cleaning services and why you should consider making them an integral part of your routine.

1. Save Time and Energy

One of the most significant benefits of hiring cleaning services is the time and energy you'll save. Instead of spending hours vacuuming, dusting, and mopping, you can focus on more pressing tasks or simply enjoy some much-needed downtime. Professional cleaners are trained to work efficiently, ensuring that your space is cleaned to perfection in a fraction of the time it would take you to do it yourself.

1. Expertise and Experience

Cleaning services employ experienced professionals who have undergone extensive training in various cleaning techniques and methods. They know how to tackle stubborn stains, eliminate germs and bacteria, and use the right tools and cleaning products for each job. With their expertise, you can be confident that your home or office will be cleaned to the highest standards.

1. Customized Cleaning Plans

No two spaces are the same, and each requires a unique approach to cleaning. Professional cleaning services understand this and offer customized cleaning plans tailored to your specific needs. Whether you require a one-time deep clean, regular maintenance, or specialized services such as carpet cleaning or window washing, cleaning companies will create a plan that suits your preferences and budget.

1. Access to Advanced Tools and Eco-friendly Products

Cleaning services use professional-grade equipment and eco-friendly cleaning products that are more effective and safer than traditional store-bought solutions. These advanced tools and products not only provide a superior level of cleanliness but also help protect the environment and promote a healthier living space for you and your loved ones.

1. Improved Indoor Air Quality

A clean environment is essential for maintaining good indoor air quality. Dust, allergens, and pollutants can accumulate over time, affecting the air you breathe and potentially causing health issues. Cleaning services can help reduce the presence of these harmful contaminants, resulting in a cleaner, fresher, and healthier indoor environment.

1. Increased Property Value

A well-maintained property holds its value better than one that has been neglected. Regular cleaning services can help preserve your property's value by keeping it in excellent condition. This is particularly important if you plan to sell or rent out your property, as a clean and well-maintained space is more attractive to potential buyers and tenants.
​
Conclusion:
Hiring professional cleaning services is a smart investment that can improve your quality of life and help maintain the value of your property. With the time and energy you save, the expertise of trained professionals, and the benefits of customized cleaning plans and eco-friendly products, cleaning services are the secret to a spotless and stress-free life. So why not let the professionals handle the dirty work while you focus on what truly matters?

It is sad, I don’t want to talk about it with my friends so I’ll tell it to you random stranger from the internet. We broke up yesterday and I (33M) cried like a little girl yesterday night, I still have tear in my eyes as I type this. But I know it’s for the better, I still believe she is my twin flame but the 7 months apart have made a mess in our love life. When we met I had already decided I’ll move out from my country so we started a relationship that we knew will make us suffer. We were making each other sad all the time. It doesn’t help that I moved to a country where I see other beautiful women in every corner and I just don’t want to cheat, I prefer to break up with what I thought was the love of my life than having the regret of cheating.
The last two months of our relationship I felt even lonelier knowing that I have a lovely gf but I can’t hold her hand while I walk, I can’t smell her hair when she’s sleeping. If I had been completely single I wouldn’t have felt so lonely.
The long distance relationship has been tougher than I thought. And to make things worse, she was in a low point in her life and job. I broke her by suggesting a break.
I just wanted to take it out of my chest, I know there is not much background story and the text is disorganized but I just can’t continue typing. I just need to go lift some weights.

For context, the "Other" category contains music that can be played on stages from series with no playable fighters and series that consist on a single game (regardless of whether or not those series have playable fighters), and this is why stages like Flat Zone X have very few music tracks (because Game and Watch games were numerous).
The confusing part comes when Min Min arrives to represent ARMS, because almost 6 years after the release of the original game there's not even a signal of a sequel arriving at all, so why did the ARMS music needed to be exclusive for that stage? It doesn't even have a gimmick based on the music anyway (like mementos, which changes it's color based on the music) so I know it's not because of gameplay, also Byleth, Sephiroth and Pyra/Mythra added track to already existing stages because of representing series that already had fighters and music, so they could've done something, I'm confused cause Flat Zone X suffers from having 2 songs because it's apart from the "Other" category but this deserved to be in that category and it's not, for some reason, why?
I really want to hear your theories about this thing, cause I'm unable to even guess why this happens.

Hello all,
I am from India and as you can guess I am from a cricket background. Primarily started watching baseball during the WBC and fell in love with it. (This sub contributed in that immensely).
So obviously the player to watch was Shohei Ohtani. And I have a few questions regarding him.
1) Shohei seems to be what we call in cricket - an all rounder that is someone who can bat, bowl and field. And he seems to be pretty good at it. But what makes him so special? Is he someone like Jacques Kallis who basically was a cheat code for his side. He scored over 10,000 runs in both formats and took almost 300 wickets in those formats. Is Shohei kind of like that? 2) Is the concept of an all rounder not that popular in baseball? Apart from Shohei are there any players who is a Hitter along with a Pitcher? 3) Final question. If a pitcher pitches lets say 15 balls and takes a break. Can he pitch again in the match?
