Hello, I'm 37 and female. I'm 5'2 and 150 lbs. The first day of my last period was May 5th and my period lasted until May 9th. We had sex may 10th, 11th, 14th-17th, and the 19th. Also on the 1st and 2nd if that matters.
On the 27th I had a positive pregnancy test. I wasn't actually expecting it nor were we actually trying (just not preventing and I can be too much of an engineer and have too much fun tracking things and gathering data).
I had an appointment with obgyn on the 30th and we did bloodwork.
My hcg level on the 30th was 157 and my hcg level on the 1st was 458. My progesterone level on the 1st was 37.2.
The doctor said the numbers looked good and would show me at 4.5 weeks along which then sent me down the anxiety porn of the internet...because I'm not sure how i could be 4.5 weeks along?
I then read about molar pregnancies and while I'm getting an ultrasound on the 16th...the 2 weeks of waiting is a bit of torture.
I also read about the possibility of multiple kids which at my age seems risky. And also rather painful? I had an abdominoplasty a few years ago after considerable weight loss and at the time didn't really think I'd ever be delivering kids (I'd still like to adopt one day). So unsure if the surgery will also make this process complicated or more painful...
I'm in CA and prior to this did not do any fertility treatments. I was on phentermine for awhile, but stopped that the day I saw a positive pregnancy test. I also haven't been on birth control for roughly a year or so at this point. No other prescription meds though I'm pretty big on my supplements and vitamins (French maritime pine bark, multivitamin, milk thistle, coq10...not consistent). I am consistent with probiotics for vaginal health as I got off birth control originally for vulvodynia.
Could someone tell me if these numbers actually make any sense and how high risk being pregnant at 37 is?
Thank you!

Today's games repulse me with their copycat, timid and shallow character. Though it seems like there is a variety of concepts flashing around, in practice games revolve around the same half-dozen tropes. Their hallmark sign is that it is nothing that is not seen on TV. If the game's idea is not a reflection of the modern world from someone who, by all appearances, has never read a real book or has experience to share, then it's Pirates in Some Carribean, or the Victorian Age When Jack the Ripper Roamed in a Black Cab, or the Middle Ages with Standard Treachery, or Abstract Space Exploration. I was sick and tired of this a few years ago, now I have all but given up on this art form. Even when the concept is interesting, it is rarely taken far or with force. Neutered developers are afraid to give offense and as a result make bland, short-breathing stuff, but I think the sharp edges are never there to begin with anymore. I don't know anybody who sets out to defy the world, stand apart from its simulations and blandishments and spit a good gob in its ugly square face.
I have never had an opportunity to make a game of my own (it takes a team besides everything else), but I have made mods for a very old RPG for years - new mechanics, plots, magic, quests, effects, scripts, writing and so on. I have more or less put that old engine on its head, though I know hardly anyone will ever find out about my efforts. This is to say that I am not a pure theorist. Some time in the winter, bored and exasperated, I decided to do a quick marathon of game ideas - for RPG, quests, simulations, something in-between - and see how many I can whip out on the run. I would like something from here picked up by a company, but I am not advertising. I realize that is probably not something that might happen. It was a good exercise for me, however. Here are the results for all to see. I did ten first, then three more occurred to me.
1) Circa Caotica
You play the role of Jabsh, a clown of a traveling circus, who suddenly discovers that he is no orphan but the son (Raka, daughter for female players) of the director, Maestro Leotardi. Minutes later after making the sobbing confession the boss is swallowed by the Crocodile Man in a suspicious accident. You have to own up to his legacy and step into the tight and tall boots of the director. Your responsibility is to keep the circus going by fine-tuning and inventing acts based on ideas solicited over regular all-troupe brainstorming sessions despite little starting respect from the others, who have decided to unionize as well (the mentalist takes notes). You must keep drawing in crowds to avert the bankruptcy, earn respect and manipulation points and find the truth behind Leotardi's death and the disappearance of the Big Green cashbox with everyone's last year salary and the medallion that supposedly bears the face of your mother the same evening. All the while you still have to perform in regular clown acts with your partner. You can play as a red clown or a white clown, and the other type will be your foil.
2) Nachtwaffe
"Ah, count. Decided to join me for a walk?" Vampires steal planes from the Nazi airforce to zoom through the dark skies over the Balkans and turn humans to make more of their own. You start out as a single nosferatu, converted from an arrogant German, and must find and raid small airports and landing strips across the forests and mountains of Roumania, impersonate a living officer to get supplies and fuel, avoid communist guerillas, find and build places to hide during the day and choose which humans to turn to expand your force. Naturally, it is all quite a dead end, as the war is bound to finish sooner or later, which radio broadcasts confirm, and what then will happen to the vampiric empire? But this is something that the gameplay begins to convey to the player gradually. Hopefully the fate of someone who has no future but still does his all will touch some dormant strings in players' hearts.
3) Yuck!
The sleepy Tibetan village of Dongtso is unaware of what lurks in the bushes and the mountains: you, the desperately lonely yak-man. Born with a big head and two horns, you have only one connection to civilization: the gold ring in your nose. Squinting cross-eyed, you can just make out some kind of symbols on it, and a banner over the village shrine features ones like them. This must be the key. You have to lurk about the supersititious hamlet, helping the folk at night and out of sight with small chores and evesdropping on their reactions and conversations until you can pick up a few words, including, at some point, "Hello." Since this is a game about Tibet and shaping up something rebellious, let the tongue be one of Tibet's many and accompanied by Tibetan script. You can train to pronounce the words when you dare show yourself to children, old people and widows, to improve from mooing to legible speech, but until then you have to dodge men's hunting parties and survive. With enough good deeds and a few friends, you might win the folk's confidence and stand before the village council so that someone might teach you to read. The quest becomes complicated, however, by the appearance of the army of People's Republic of China that establishes a base in the village in its push to subdue Tibet. The year is 1952. One of the newcomers is a local - a renegade llama who, the villagers say, has been on many supernatural journeys in the mountains, but is now wearing the uniform of Tibet's conquerors. The writing on the ring, deciphered, identifies him as your father.
4) Footlocker
This is a soccer-themed RPG, but you view the sport from the point of view of a bookie besieged on all sides by mafia. To pay back his debt he resolves on a colossal set-up: first get control of an underdog team, then bring them at least to the regional semi-finals and, with the bets in their favor, make them lose in a big way. The thugs are ready to provide cash handouts, leg-breaking, knuckle sandwiches, addictive opioids and more to get the right people on the team and stubborn elements out, but at the cost of increased control and cut of the profits. You must balance their appetities with placating sports authorities, the press, sponsors and police. In the final match a dilemma presents itself: go through with the plan and ruin the team or defy the gangsters and take your chances on the right side of the tracks?
5) And See It Again For the First Time
Starting out from your homeland on three caravels, you unfurl the sails and set out to circumnavigate the world. The globe is randomly generated every time and rolls away at the horizon, with the map, continents and straits unknown beforehand, in the manner of River Raid. Your characters are the three ships and their crews, condition and supplies are their stats. Dropping anchor at strange shores and dealing with natives will be necessary but dangerous as they fight with each other, shuffle and migrate like microbes. Loss of crew can't be repaired. At least one of the ships must find the passages and make it to the fabulous Gate of Makhamedi, enter it from the far side and begin the journey home.
6) The Person and the Essence
In the beginning chapter you play Sauqin, second-in-command to general Varziranga, head of the army of the Arcolan Empire sent to quash the rebellion of Panlaa, who has tried to bring his province to secede. The imperial army has crushed Panlaa'a troops a fortnight ago and has got him shut in the Ravine of the Gold Specks. Complete victory is near, but the commander has been acting strangely since the battle. On this decisive night his behavior spins out of control just as Panlaa makes a sudden sally from his trap, causing great confusion. As his lieutenant, it falls to you to maintain order in dealing with the various officers as well as the clerics of the One, who insist that Panlaa, a lapsed pagan, be given to them for execution once he is captured. The ending of the chapter will determine whether Panlaa ends in the emperor's prison in the capital, Hotharsoom, alive or dead at the clerics' hands, whether Varziranga will be simply demoted or disgraced.
Chapter two will take place in the capital city. You will have been promoted to a top military command for your performance, only to become embroiled in an intrigue involving the emperor's controlling mother, a consequential schism in the church of the One over whether the head of state is eternally the same person reincarnated or a series of persons, demagogues in the public and lurking pagans with unclear motives. Other chapters will follow, and the endings will determine who sits on the throne and who stands behind it, whether state policy is in principle subject to revision and criticism or not and whether the pagan faiths are crushed without mercy or adopted into the church of the One. The material here is Byzantium, Egypt with the notion of the pharaoh as incarnate Horus and the empires of southeast Asia. Some early Christian heresies also deserve to be revivified.
7) Of Rats and Men
You are a rat trapped in the gears of the Trumpet of Doom, the hugest, heaviest and most advanced steam ship ever to paddle the Grumuous Sea. This basin is famously salty enough to let even an iron float for a time, which, the public money finally gathered, made it the perfect road to carry the 25-inch-gunned ("24 + 1 for Paterland!") Trumpet to the shores of Festaly and at last give those Festalians what for! The citizenry is cheering with patriotic joy, the brass bands are blowing. The ship rats are less happy, especially you, who were captain Reissenpouf's pet before you managed to scramble through a porthole and below the desk as he was buttering a toast. You are nearly panicky with fright. Unlike the locals there, you have spent time locked with the diagrams in the captain's safe and know that the battleship is very weakly armored below the waterline. Someone must have made a good bit of business during the construction selling the metal. When the Trumpet comes up against the Festalians with their triton suicides or their rumored counterpart ship, the Rough Musician, not even the Grumuous Sea will keep it from ending up as a gigantic, barnacled wreck on the ocean floor.
To avoid this fate you only have so much time to organize the other rats for systematic sabotage. The game's world is the enormous ship below and above the deck. The humans of the crew are, of course, adamant in their resolve to get themselves killed, so they will repair the servos, the cables turning the massive gears, the ball bearings, the hydraulics and the rest almost as quickly as those are destroyed. This effort will be headed by the near-transparent, monochrome spindle of a man, Admiral Hel, the leader of the expedition, always of his private high deck, sipping his black milk and staring through his spectacles ahead to where TOD's fate awaits it. If all of you ratfolk together gnaw through and spoil enough of the ship's devices, however, the captain might just have the authority to radio Kaiser Walzer of the decision to turn back... though you personally may also have to sneak back into his cabin to sit on his pillow and intone suggestions as he sleeps. The fact that you are an albino rat and at first come across as a crazy visionary doesn't help, and neither does being a female rat and having to give birth to a litter every so often. The current mate can be deputied on tasks while lactating. Other ships may sometimes be encountered in the sea, with different results, and you may improve your reputation in the murine community by predicting these encounters, if you check the looking glass often enough. The length of the game, and hence the difficulty, depends on the distance to Festalian waters - from two weeks' journey to three months.
8) Cosmic Choir
You play as one of the planets of the solar system. The other actors and your partners are the thieving and scurrilous Mercury, the lusty and sly Venus, the militant braggart Mars and so on. And you are the meh-in-the-middle Earth, and in this group of strong personalities stand out with your unique ability of Rational Decision (it would be nice to get Woody Allen for the voice acting, were he younger). Other planets have other powers, and all of them certain characteristics and appetites (for tasty meteorites, for more intimate or more standoffish orbits and so on). The plot revolves around the announcement of the Sun that it has had enough of burning hydrogen and wants to retire, going immediately into the red giant phase, which would, of course, burn up all of the inner planets and kick the outer planets way out. For this the star has recruited a planet-sized asteroid, large enough to pull most of the star fuel away so that the moribund transformation may be set in motion. The euthanatic dark planet is whirring ever closer. Before it gets on a near enough orbit to disrupt the Sun the other planets must find out what caused this sudden depression and persuade their ruler and source of life otherwise. (The answer is that the Sun has always dreamt of going nova but lacks substance.) Playing as the only inhabited planet, you must also keep the life forms on you alive through all of the maneuvering. If you can get Mars to cooperate, however, you may shorten the distance enough for humanity and some of the ecosystems to make the leap and found Musk City there, and then you won't have to care about your surface anymore.
9) Paris, 1245 A.D.
A meticulously researched simulation of the criminal underworld of medieval Paris and the worlds that abutted on it: those of the church, guilds, city watch, the university, lepers, the court and so on. No shortcuts and simplifications for babies who can't tell a Benedictine from a Cistercian. A dynamically filled encyclopedia may be included, though, and remain permanently unlocked for later replays. The main character is a vagrant and a thief. This may be a persistent sandbox, possibly a multiplayer RPG, or it may have a plot, but strictly within historical realities.
10) The Last Supper
You play the role of Jesus, son of God, in the company of the twelve disciples. The game should probably be in first person. (The Sermon of the Mount and such may be shown in cutscenes, or they may be challenges in quiz form.) The time period is your wanderings in Judea after the baptism and until the last night before the arrest. The background is the Judaic society at the time and its Roman controllers, somewhat historically accurate. This is a detective story, a wholldoit where you need to figure out who is best suited to betray you in due time so that you may prep him for the job and finally give him the impetus to "do it quicker" at the Last Supper. For Christ certainly needed someone to betray him. It's not always Judas: the identity of the potential traitor, along with his motives, will vary randomly between playthroughs. Incidents and encounters along the road, both recorded in the Bible and invented, will liven up the experience and better inform you about the personalities of the disciples, building on but going beyond what is known (Peter with his short temper, the lofty John an so on).
11) Cuadrophobia
Ships and the sea again. This time you are a typical sailor with an atypically strong survival instinct on one of the vessels in a colossal game of Battleship between Our Guy and the Other Player. Accordingly, there are two grids firing at each other: your side's and the enemy's, though you only get to travel across your own. The ship you begin on is chosen at random: it may be anything in size from a single-squarer to a five-squarer. Smaller ships are less likely to be hit, of course, but when a ship is finished, it sinks, and you with it. The purpose of the game is to survive until Our Guy's victory, which programmatically is likely but not guaranteed and happens about 70% of the time. To do this you must desert on a regular basis, setting out in a dinghy to a ship more favored in the current situation. However, the dinghy only travels three squares per turn, and you can only spend two turns in the open sea before dying. You also need time on board ships to access their radio broadcasts, which, besides playing some inspirational propaganda, update the picture of the grid as the battle rages. Without it you are limited to paddling to vessels that you can directly see. The role-playing element comes from dealing with ship commanders, who all take their duties and titles - captain of Cruiser! captain of Battleship! - very seriously, from picking up supplies in floating debris and from acquiring special abilities that let you, for example, paddle an extra square farther. Is war evil? Is it to be hated, or is our side to be cheered on? After all, if Our Guy loses, this will all have been in vain.
12) Standardom
In this game of life, dedicated to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), you must pass through all of the Gates of Conformity to win your ultimate prize - death from old age, as opposed to suicide. The option to kill yourself is always available in the menu. Being the hero and chickenshit that you are, though, you are determined to submit to every humiliation just so you can press forward. The world of the game is a vertical platform that moves with you along the Y axis, which represents time from some random year forwards: you may begin at 100 B.C., 1824 A.D., 12749 j-Spec and so on. It is really all the same where on the timeline you are dropped off. As with other platformers, once the screen has moved, there is no going back. You can walk freely to the left and right, however, pick up bonuses, disarm threats and converse with characters. Going up, every so often the screen is intersected by a wall with a gate in it. Your character's silhouette must either match the cut of the gate or be smaller to pass through. You start out small as a baby, a little circle, but very soon handicaps such as Discovery of Talent, Unusual Upbringing, Independent Spirit or Love of Sex will begin to rush at you to complicate your silhouette with Г, & and other such protrusions. You will also grow in size until your late 20s. Luckily, opportunities will also present themselves to prune some of this exotica: Family, Steady Job, Political Engagement, Puppy, Human Interest and other bonuses can be found or obtained from conversations to simplify your puzzle to a manageable cut until such time as the years pile on and the worst is behind you. You will become smaller and smaller and able to rush through the checkpoints one after the other to the finish line.
13) Six Handshakes to Liberty
The country is suffering under a cruel dictatorship. Ar-Parason, the president-for-life, has wrung the last of resources from the nation and has now thrown it into a disastrous war. In his palace he is surrounded by guards armed to the teeth and without a shred of conscience to shoot the bastard. What can you, a humble microbiologist living in the suburbs, do about this? Nothing, it seems, until you discover a strain of bacteria that is absolutely deadly within weeks and immune to all known antibiotics except one, still not fully developed. The microbe is passed along by touch. Alas, you discover it when you become infected with it. You still have the resources to finish the research on the antibiotic and save yourself, but now you realize that you possess the perfect secret weapon to rid the country of the tyrant. Although you can't get so close to Ar-Parason in person, someone must enjoy that intimacy...
Every day you do your research at the computer, look through the press, then put on gloves and go out in search of people in contact with other people who will, you hope, ultimately carry the strain to its target. You have to follow news to figure out whose hands to shake and who to sleep with - secretaries, daughters of generals, corrupt officials - and many times the scheme will fall short of success. The chain of handshakes will terminate early somewhere, and these intermediaries will just die. But all those sacrifices are worth it, aren't they? You keep several intrigues going at once, determined to see one of them to the end. Meanwhile an epidemic is beginning in the country, Ar-Parason is starting to take precautions, and your own remaining time that could be spent on finishing the antibiotic is also running short. What is more important: life, revenge, justice, survival, honor? Your actions will be your decisions.

Hi, 25 year old white British female, 25stone, 5'5, No Drugs, No Alcohol
So I really hate leaving my house unless I have to so I've not gone and seen my doctor IRL plus it doesn't give me any annoyance. But I have these like Red almost bruise like markings on my feet and legs, but it only affects my lower legs.
https://imgur.com/JjHCLcx https://imgur.com/NSwg96k https://imgur.com/DVzWwqY https://imgur.com/bJ7LTg8
I'm a 25 Year old Female, I live in the UK, I'm around 25st, 5foot5inches in height, and White British. I suffer with a condition called "Idiopathic Intercranial Hypertension", I currently take a drug called "Topiramate" at 50mg a pill, once a day at night, but I've taken a drug called "Acetazolamide" for it which was around 4 years ago. I don't drink, and I recently quit smoking proper cigarettes and switched to smoking 2% nicotine vapes. But I have been on off smoking for the last 5 years before changing to vapes.
The markings on my feet were there first, and they're most prominent in areas where I rest my feet on top of one another as I sit down gaming a lot and crossing my ankles is the most comfortable for me. They've been on my feet for a couple of years at this point, I'd say maybe 3ish years? They don't hurt to touch, they don't hurt my feet nor make it hard for me to walk or anything. As for the markings on my legs, those only showed up within the last year, I noticed them after wearing some cropped trousers during the summer.
For my job I spend a lot of time on my feet as I work in a warehouse, so I'm not super active but I don't spend all my time being sat down. I've tried to look up what these could be, and had mixed answers because I've never been diagnosed with Diabetes (In the middle of learning if I do have it), and they don't hurt.

So I am a 30 y.o. female. 9 years ago I was sexually assaulted(raped), while I was unconscioussly sleeping.I may have been drugged but I don't know. I had no idea about the assault happening to me for a few months. And one day I finally woke up from pain and i was confused and shocked at first, but the man assured me it was just a misunderstanding... And in two more weeks I had a situation when my cellphone wasn't working but I had to urgently make a call and this man had a couple of extra devices (he was using a few devices for his favorite online games). Well so he gave me one of the android phones so I could make a call. That's when I have discovered about 4,500 photos of myself on many many different times and I was sitting right in front of that man and somehow I was able to dont show any reaction and act like I'm still busy with doing my own thing.In reality I was desperately thinking how to make a copy or transfer all this pictures fast and without him getting spooked. And I have failed at first because it was too many images. So I gave the phone back to him like nothing happened. But I couldn't wait any longer and in three days later I managed to just ran off with that phone and for the next three months he had no idea that I was logged into his google on that device. Couldn't figure out his password or change it or just copy the photo cloud without the risk to loose the account access forever. I bought two another android devices and was experimenting trying to find the way around Google password security notifications. And one day I figured it out. I was able to take full control of his account and lock him out of it without knowing the original password. He didn't even know what was happening and who hacked him. Later I found more accounts with another portion of photos of me that he made with me when I was passed out. Its been 9 years and I still have all this photos and accounts. I have never went to the police because I felt like pictures are not enough for the police. And I was afraid to get in trouble for the way I have obtained my evidence. This man is still following my social media. And he lives in different state now. But I can't forgive him and I can't let it go. I'm afraid he does this to someone else like me again. Thanx.

Hey,
So, I’m a 27-year-old female Junior resident (dermatology, if you're curious) from India, and things have been a bit tough lately. I think I might be on the ADHD spectrum, although it’s not clinically diagnosed yet. To pile on, I’m also dealing with some mild depression, generalized anxiety, and that classic case of burnout (med school life, right?).
As you can imagine, these issues can mess with my day-to-day. Executive dysfunction, procrastination, and even basic stuff like keeping my space tidy are all uphill battles.
Now here's where you come in: I'm thinking about finding an accountability partner, while we’re trying to get stuff done. It's apparently been really helpful for folks with ADHD. Makes even the biggest, scariest tasks seem doable.
So, here’s the kind of partner in crime I'm looking for:

1. Gets what it's like to have ADHD, anxiety, depression, or burnout (whether that's because you’ve been there yourself or you just know your stuff).
2. Is up for regular check-ins to see how we're doing.
3. Can be chill and non-judgmental yet honest when we’re working on tasks together.
4. Likes the idea of bonding with a good pen pal.
5. Respects personal boundaries and confidentiality.
   1. Up for shareing study plans, to do lists, schedules etc.

If you think you fit the bill, or if this post resonates with you, I’d love to hear from you. If we team up, we could lighten the load for each other.
Feel free to drop a comment or DM if you're interested or have any cool ideas. Let’s tackle this journey together!

Hi! So when it comes to feeding time, our dogs get kibble and a food topper- in the last couple months, my beagle (male-5years old) started a bad habit of bark incessantly as soon as the wet food/topper is being mixed into his kibble. It’s like he had to communicate “omg wet food! Hurry hurrry give me give me)”
Meanwhile my other dog (German shepherd mix (female - 4 years old) sits so patiently like a good gurlll until I put her bowl on the ground and say “Bon appetite”!)
I’ve tried a couple things, -giving him his bowl first, -I’ve tried turning my back and ignoring him until he stops. Both no progress.
He’s a beagle so he’s dramatic and stubborn. But he never used to act this way. And I don’t want it to continue.
Any advice?

Looking to downsize and get rid of things I no longer have a use for. Feel free to offer on anything, but I'd prefer to bundle as much as possible. Local is 47403.

Alphacool NexXxoS ST30 Full Copper 360mm Radiator	https://www.amazon.com/Alphacool-NexXxos-Copper-Radiator-Triple/dp/B007R79E60	I used this once or twice over the span of 2 years, with clear fluids.

Hey Reddit,
So, I’m a 27-year-old female Junior resident (dermatology, if you're curious) from India, and things have been a bit tough lately. I think I might be on the ADHD spectrum, although it’s not clinically diagnosed yet. To pile on, I’m also dealing with some mild depression, generalized anxiety, and that classic case of burnout (med school life, right?).
As you can imagine, these issues can mess with my day-to-day. Executive dysfunction, procrastination, and even basic stuff like keeping my space tidy are all uphill battles.
Now here's where you come in: I'm thinking about finding an accountability partner, while we’re trying to get stuff done. It's apparently been really helpful for people with ADHD or otherwise. Makes even the biggest, scariest tasks seem doable.
So, here’s the kind of partner in crime I'm looking for:

1. Gets what it's like to have ADHD, anxiety, depression, or burnout (whether that's because you’ve been there yourself or you just know your stuff).
2. Is up for regular check-ins to see how we're doing.
3. Can be chill and non-judgmental yet honest when we’re working on tasks together.
4. Likes the idea of pen pals and open to the idea of friendship rather than this being just about tasks.
5. Respects personal boundaries and confidentiality.
6. Up for shareing study plans, to do lists, schedules etc.

If you think you fit the bill, or if this post resonates with you, I’d love to hear from you. If we team up, we could lighten the load for each other.
Feel free to drop a comment or DM if you're interested or have any cool ideas. Let’s tackle this journey together!

I researched short-tailed pythons and blood pythons all day yesterday and think they could be the right snake for me.
​
As a background, I currently have a Trans-pecos rat snake and an adult green iguana. I've had my iguana for 12 years and he kind of hates me but is in great health (is about 15+years old and was a rescue). He has his own room. My point is that, I have an animal that wants to attack me most days, so the intimidation factor is not an issue for me. I am okay with rehabbing a "feisty" baby or even adult. Honestly, I find that rewarding and have a lot of compassion for them.
​
My TPRS (about 9 years old) is a total sweetheart, was purchased as an ex-breeder and had never seen the outside of a tub. I did choice-based handling with him and he changed from fearful to a total goofy angel in a few months. He has a 4'x18"x18" bioactive desert enclosure that I worked on for an entire year before getting my snake. He asks to come out every couple of days and he looks around, will climb on me and we'll look around the house, go get the mail etc. I know bloods/short-tails won't really climb on you.
​
I think I have a decent amount of experience with reptiles. What I'm looking for in my next snake is something less fragile-feeling than my long skinny boy, and I think short-tails/bloods fit that bill.
​
The only preference I have is for a female. I want something not too small (for this type of snake). It has to be thicker than my arm. Not too into any specific morph but I like ones where their head is a different color (pumpkin heads and some of the others that just look that way). Not too into the really dark/black morphs though.
​
Does anyone want to convince me of a particular type? I guess I'd like to keep the adult in the 20-lb range but I think that fits most of them. I have heard some conflicting info about sizes, saying in particular the pumpkin head Sumatran short-tails are the smallest. I think my ideal size is like a 5' long and about 20 lbs adult, but I'm okay with a bit bigger than that.
​
My ideal interaction with this snake is I want to watch movies and play video games with her while she sits there and does basically nothing. Too fat to easily get lost. I will also be choice-basing her (and will see if she ever even like, wants to come out of the enclosure lol, but I will try). Would love a naturalistic setup but that could be unrealistic; input on this is welcome too.
​
Sorry if this post is all over the place but I feel enthusiastic about them! I hope some people here can offer some insight.

First of, i thought to make it as 3 base skills+5 EGOs+Defensive Skill = 9 Skills and Furioso as additional EGO, uh, well it's pretty bad, doesn't it? Next one was to take 3 skills from original deck that would represent main types of attack and after activating them all, you could use Furioso. Well, this one is kinda no respect move to Loland by me, so i decided to make it as multi deck build aka Iori build. But here you could change each skill with one you want and not entire deck. And then i've met another problem. How the fuck is this guy gonna get to furioso? Even in solo run you have to every turn for 4 turns use all slots (actually there's 1 you can use with same skill) to finally use his ult on 5th Turn. And it's only solo run (even though after that he can use it every 2nd-3rd turn), so i've came up with an idea to make those "draw card" as "furioso counter increase". I've decided to make it as special EGO resource to make it possible to sustain and use faster in dungeons. Also it could change types of damage to Furious too, but it doesn't really fits much in my opinion and it's a whole new resistance for just 1 ID.
Dunno if i make next one Eileen (since i've came up with an idea of smoke not that much broken, even though someone said Poise in-game code named as Smoke) or make Index. This one was made more because i really wanted to make Loland and totally acculate Fulioso.

Hello, I Ask this because I probably lack prespective and perhaps I need to see other points od view. I do not want Anyone I know to Ask this, Simply because I can't get the Words out of my mouth anymore for many reasons. Mainly because Words are Words and not actions and often speaking creates more problems. I also have no one really to talk to.
I am soon 24, female and I had not accomplished anything that often people at my Age do. The closest to an achievement was to leave my country and my family (No point to expand on it, just a poor country and a very sad past for me in family terms too). I achieved this thanks to my boyfriend and he is everything I have in my life, without him I really have nothing, emotionally and in material terms. I would probably just kill myself without him. I know it is not very healthy but it is true. I moved to his country 2 years ago, we meet online. I have one friend in my life but he is male and after him liking me a little I understand I can't get a close and constant friendship out of him, Simply because it would cause problems. I have a very good relationship with my mother in law and started around a month ago to Play boardgames in a group, which Has made a big difference to me. I started to learn the language a year ago and i understand everything and can speak but not with very good grammar still. I had to Play classes for it. Anyways too many details, I do not want to waste do much of your time, sorry.
Point is I did many mistakes in the past and I do not work at the moment and have not in the past 2 yesrs and have no studies. I want to but the language blocked me but also myself. I was just lazy I think because if i really wanted I would have pushed myself. Often I never do enough and also often I spent money to cope with my sadness or loneliness which adds to the general situation and i also do not cook.
I try to be a good girlfriend and in general as a person, also why i am set to move foward with a job or studies and i spend much less now. But some days ago my boyfriend mentioned we often have nothing in common sometimes, and it is a bit true because he likes strategy games in the computer and i do like computer games (how we meet) but recently i would like to do something else. He does not like to be with other people as a whole and go out. I am excitrd to visit new places, nature, take pretty photos, sometimes Play board games but not only with my mother in law and him but as a group or go to the movies or a museum together. We have been to the movies but 5 times and 3 times to some museum, zoo and Garden and two trip for 4-5 days in this 2 years, probably some more i forget. He mentioned he often feels he is more like with a 16 year old than a 23 year old because i often want to have fun too in this ways or have a very Innocent and idealistic view of the world. He says i should take the iniciative and he mainly would do such things because i want to but i worry a lot, because the things i want is not something he is excited about. I wish he to understand that it is so hard because often people want this things too and not as a soft of favor. It is true i am a very passive person and wait for him to take the iniciative and if i pushed it would have happened more but for some reason i wish it came from him too. He Has a good time and says it is good when we did it. I see there is definitly in common he just doesnt open for it and it feels like when i propose or he does it, like a favor and it is not as enjoyable anymore because i feel in debt. I feel like in debt for everything and when i do mistakes or make him upset i just feel so bad because i do nothing and the little i do should be as good as i can. I have this feeling with everyone too. Thing that just completrly broke is in november we will be together 4 years. I really wish he was sure of me and propose, but he mentioned some time ago he just felt he could not trust me and in the past yes. I did sometimes mistakes yes but i feel it is so hard on me and when he is not so nice it is like ok. I am just sad because i am not a good girlfriend in some way and what is a good girlfriend? What should i aim for? I know a good girlfriend probably should work and bring Stable finances too and i should maybe try to cook. In any case. I want to know what should i aim for :( i want him to really want me and see me as a trophy in some way, i often feel most other girls would be so better. For example i often put effort in clothes and people say i am very pretty but he does not care about such things, if anything i am too surperficial for example. Also do many sweet and pretty girls who have more to offer than i do :( I try in general many things So i can better take care of him emotionally but he also does not need it, like on the outside and inside, i just dont have much to bring because he is Perfect by himself :( he is just doing very good also economically so he really needs nothing. what i can offer is not as good as if i liked more those games probably and could offer maybe more of a mental challenge? I like to learn but he is very closed on what he likes and the rest is no.
This sounds so negative on him, he is wonderful as a whole why i am so scared to lose him and i know he loves me, i say the bad things because he is just completrly fine by himself and most Simple stuff people want or i want is not important for him and often i have just done mistakes :( i just want to know what is the ideal girlfriend and aim hard at it because he deserves really so much and i do so little. I do know, this is very emotionally written. I just feel so lonely and lost and hence why i am for sure ignoring all the good. Just i wish i could be as Perfect as possible because he is such a great person, sure he is very closed on trying things outside his sphere but that is it !
Tdlr: he is too good for me and I have nothing to bring to the relationship mant others could not without my cons.

Hello y'all, I'm back to present the results of the poll I posted a couple of days ago of "Would you actually want to date an idol?"! Let's dive right in:
First, to those who didn't see the poll, I want to mention that the poll has two clarifications mentioned in both the poll and the post:

• Since the obvious answer to the poll would be "It's logistically impossible for me to date an idol because of language/country/communication/long-distance barriers", I decided to specify in the poll that "If all the language/country/communication/long-distance barriers were removed, would you want to date an idol?"
  
• I'm more specifically asking "would you want to date an active idol". This means anyone who's currently in the idol industry.
  

The full Google Form results can be found here.

Assuming the language/country/communication barriers were removed, would you want to date an active idol?

Yes	Maybe	No
35.0%	29.4%	35.6%

The answers are quite evenly spread/divided, much to my personal surprise. (I was expecting a LOT more "Maybe" answers as well, because historically people answering my polls love the "middle-of-the-road" option.)

Yes Section:

Why would you be interested in dating an idol? (Please checkmark all reasons that apply.)

Reason	%
Honestly, I tend to find idols very physically attractive	65.2%
There are certain idols who I really like and would specifically want to date	64.3%
I feel like I'd be compatible personality-wise with some of the idols	59.6%
Some idols are likely to have similar hobbies/interests to me (ex. idols tend to also be huge fans of K-Pop)	48.4%
Idols are generally very hard-working and dedicated, and I find that appealing	44.4%
It would be interesting to see what it would be like to date an idol	42.1%
It would be a dream/fantasy if I got to date someone from my favorite groups/artists	32.2%
There's a certain appeal to dating a celebrity, especially an idol	23.1%

The two most common "other" reasons listed were "because idols have busy schedules, that means I'd get more space/time to myself" and "they're just people like you and me lol".
I was somewhat surprised at the ordering of these results, as I was definitely expecting the Bottom 4 to be more highly responded with. I'm surprised "Honestly, I tend to find idols very physically attractive" placed #1 as well, just because it inherently sounds a bit 'negative' whilst the other options were more positive/neutral sounding, so I figured there'd be a portion of Redditors who wouldn't choose that option.
Are there specific idols you have in mind that led you to answer "Yes, I'd like to date an idol", or would you in-general be open to dating an idol?

Answer	%
Yes, there are specific idols that I would want to date; if I couldn't date them, I likely wouldn't be interested in dating an idol	61.5%
No, I don't have any specific idols in particular that I would "need" to date (ie. I would generally be open to dating an idol as long as we were compatible)	38.5%

These results surprised me a little as well, I thought there would be more people selecting the No option because it was "less constrictive" and I was under the impression a lot of people would be interested simply in the experience of dating an idol in-general.
Do you think you'd be interested in marrying an idol?

Yes	Maybe	No
41.2%	50.9%	7.9%

Somewhat surprising to me as well, I thought a higher % of people would say No because of "I'd like the experience of dating an idol to see what it's like" (or adjacent) reasoning.
Are you interested in dating male idols or female idols?

Male	Female	Both
41.1%	29.5%	29.4%

This result also surprised me a fair amount, I was expecting Male to be much higher and I didn't expect Both to be that high.

No Section:

Why would you not want to date an idol? (Please checkmark all reasons that apply.)

Reason	%
Having to avoid paparazzi and avoid "dating scandals" seems like a pain	78.4%
An idol would have really hectic/busy schedules and thus we'd have little time to actually hang out together	75.4%
My life & career goals are unlikely to be compatible with an idol	50.5%
Idols generally are workaholics and I don't see myself as compatible personality-wise as a result	41.5%
I am in a relationship already	16.3%
Honestly, I would prefer dating someone who has a more financially secure career	16.1%
I would prefer to stay single and don't want to be in a committed relationship	14.7%
I am aromantic/asexual	12.1%
I'm too old to date an idol and/or would rather date a person in my age range (or older than me)	11.8%
Honestly, idols generally aren't my type in terms of visuals/beauty	5.7%

By far the most common "other" reason was "because of the scary fans", with other common listed reasons including "I don't know who they actually are or what their true personality is", "I'm insecure and/or I wouldn't want hundreds/thousands of fans to be fantasizing about my partner", and "Idols are for admiring at a distance, not for dating".
These results are pretty much what I expected, the only surprise is that "I would prefer to stay single and don't want to be in a committed relationship" isn't higher (since I feel like a lot of the Gen Z generation says they're not interested in dating and would prefer to remain single).

Maybe Section:

Which factors would be most important to you when considering whether or not you'd want to date an idol?

Factor	%
Whether we mesh personality-wise	92.3%
Compatability in terms of life goals/values	82.7%
Hobbies and interests	66.3%
Physical attraction	50.7%
Financial stability/security	33.5%
Compatability in terms of career goals	26.0%

The two most common "other" reasons listed were age and schedule availability.
Honestly speaking, would the group the idol is from matter to you?

Reason	%
No, the group the idol is from would not matter to me	69.4%
Yes, I would prefer an idol from a group that I like more	19.4%
Yes, I honestly would prefer an idol from a more successful group (for security/stability reasons)	11.3%

In hindsight, I should have definitely added more options (including an Other option), because these three options definitely don't encompass all the possibilities (ex. "I'd prefer an idol from a less successful group so that there'd be less-intense fan reactions", "I'd prefer an idol from a less busy group so that we'd have more time together"), but I was tired when I made this poll and couldn't think of other possibilities at the time lmao.

Gender and Orientation:

In all of the sections, I asked the same two questions of "Which of these best describes your current gender identity?" and "Which of these best describes your current sexual orientation?. First, we'll start with gender identity:

-	Yes	Maybe	No
Female/woman	63.4%	78.1%	81.4%
Male/man	27.6%	12.7%	9.5%
Genderqueer, gender non-binary, or gender fluid	6.0%	6.5%	7.3%

There were a couple of responses that said "Prefer not to say", "Agender", amongst others.
Next, we'll move on to sexual orientation:

-	Yes	Maybe	No
Heterosexual/Straight	50.1%	41.0%	42.3%
Bisexual	23.8%	24.0%	22.5%
Gay/Lesbian	6.0%	6.9%	8.1%
Pansexual	5.6%	6.9%	5.7%
Asexual	5.1%	7.9%	10.9%
Queer	4.7%	6.9%	5.5%

Other responses include demisexual, "prefer not to say", among others.
I was somewhat surprised at how "even" the orientations were between the Yes/Maybe/No sections, since I expected the non-heterosexual people to vote overwhelmingly in favor of No (since there'd probably be more inherent backlash/danger for non-straight couples).
So that's all the results! BTW, my response was "No, I would not want to date an idol", for multiple reasons (would prefer to stay single, an idol would be too busy, avoiding paparazzi sounds like a pain, I would prefer someone with a more financially secure career, idols generally are workaholics and I don't see myself compatible as a result, and my life & career goals are unlikely to be compatible with an idol).
Let me know what you think of the results! Do any of the results surprise you?
