pros: boss is giving everyone a dollar an hour raise

cons: I had to do SO MUCH MATH to figure out how it would impact my health insurance premium because you have to report a change in income if you have marketplace insurance and my boss is paying half my insurance premium because health insurance went up and I have to do the calculations to figure out based on the raise what the new premium would be, add half of that to what my biweekly take home would be and then put THAT number into the marketplace and I'm still not sure I got it right

also healthcare is so fuckin expensive

The Truth About Trumponomics

Trump and Republicans want to wreck your bank account. Here are 5 things you need to know about Trumponomics.

1.Trump wants tax cuts for the rich, at your expense.

Trump’s tax cuts for the rich and big corporations added about $1.7 trillion to the national debt, with few benefits trickling down to the middle class — in fact, it raised taxes for more than 10 million American families.

Now Trump and Republicans want to make the tax cuts for the rich permanent, blowing up the debt even further. And then they’ll use that debt to justify this:

2. Trump would cut Social Security and Medicare — programs you’ve been paying into!

In every year of his presidency, Trump submitted a budget that tried to cut Social Security and Medicare. And he knows that’s the only way he can even begin to pay for extending his tax cuts for the rich.

3. Trump and his allies are pro-junk fee.

When the Biden administration issued a rule capping credit card late fees at $8, Sen. Tim Scott, a Trump surrogate, tried to overturn it in the Senate. And then a Trump-appointed judge issued a temporary injunction that blocked the rule from taking effect. Eliminating that rule would cost American families an estimated $10 billion a year.

And when the Biden administration required airlines to issue automatic refunds for canceled flights, Trump’s allies in Congress fought to block that too.

When Trump was in office, his administration fought against efforts to rein in airline junk fees.

Corporations nickel and diming us like this makes inflation worse. If Trump gets back in the White House, buckle up for more junk fees.

4. Trump would send health care costs soaring.

Republicans have committed to repealing the Inflation Reduction Act, which would strip Medicare of the ability to negotiate drug prices, and let Big Pharma send the price of insulin and other life-saving medicines back through the roof.

And Trump is still fixated on repealing Obamacare, with no plan to replace it.

TRUMP: Obamacare is a disaster. We’re gonna do something about it.

That would strip coverage from tens of millions of Americans, drive up premiums, and let insurers charge more or deny coverage to people with preexisting conditions.

5, If you’ve got student debt, you’re out of luck with Trump.

In contrast to President Biden, who’s canceled more than $160 billion of student debt so far, Trump is against student debt relief. In his first term, he tried to eliminate the popular Public Service Loan Forgiveness program for people like teachers and nurses, and he’s called the idea of debt relief “unfair.”

What’s unfair, is how student debt hurts not just the roughly 40 million Americans burdened by it, but the entire economy, since Americans with debt have less money to spend, are less likely to start a business, less likely to buy a home, and more likely to rely on government assistance.

The MAGA agenda would make nearly every aspect of your life more expensive, while making the richest Americans even richer.

Teddy Roosevelt’s economic plan was called the Square Deal. Franklin Roosevelt’s was the New Deal.

What Trump is offering is simply a Raw Deal.

It's a new age of motoring. The old world of inefficient, gas-burning, polluting vehicles is over, and now is the time for zingy cough drops that do 0-60 in four seconds and have a bunch of annoying dinging sounds that you can't figure out how to turn off. If you're the kind of person who rides on an elevator and thinks "this could use more JavaScript," the world is your oyster.

Of course, no matter how many touchscreens, gewgaws, doodads, and fart noises you throw at an electric car, someone still has to build the car. You could go to a boring, old-technology company that worries about things like "bolts that fit," or you could take a gamble. You could step into the future and invest in a Switch Motors platform for your next electric car.

Switch Motors is the only small, unproven brand you need to risk millions of dollars and the livelihood of your employees on. We know about making a reliable car, because we know everything about how to make an unreliable car. And like Thomas Edison said before he was deluged by telemarketers: goddammit, why doesn't this thing work? Here's an example of our focus. Switch Motors cars are guaranteed to have at least four wheels, or we'll provide you with a pro-rated discount.

Don't care about the "car" part of electric cars? We've got you covered, with several platforms based entirely on classic Malaise Era American cars. Customers will love the straight chrome bumpers, which are easy to bang back into shape when they have a little whoopsy-doo at highway speeds while trying to quit their Zoom call. And our powertrains are proven – they come from high-end Chinese electric forklifts that we source from only the finest AliExpress vendors. No Wish.com for you, oh no: we're premium all the way.

Paint? Friend, paint slows you down. Besides, it looks way cooler when the arcs the motors kick off are shooting across the skin of the car like a Jacob's ladder. Keeps carjackers away, too. And pigeons. And anyone with a pacemaker. Maybe we can do something to improve that last part, I've got some Toyota water pumps around here somewhere. Switch Health Solutions sounds pretty good.

More pjo/hoo headcanons

Apollo kids exclusively work out with musics as a cabin, but they always argue about the playlist that should be chosen. Will uses councillor privilege to force them to pick country.

The Athena cabin has a projector for sure

Also, they have youtube premium because of lofi music

Apollo kids have been banned from using guns in training with others (they recreated the ten duel commandments from Hamilton and actually ended up shooting without missing the target. Now, they can only shoot on regular targets, not living ones)

Hephaestus and Athena kids are a living proof of the "an architect's dream is an engineer's nightmare" thing

There is definitely an Athena kid out there that hates math with a burning passion. Their mom isn't very happy about that.

Despite their rivalry, many Apollo kids have Ares cabin bffs - after all, they spend lots of time in the infirmary

Ares kids usually have a great relationship with their father - he is surprisingly encouraging and supportive

Will can definitely ride a horse and you can't convince me otherwise

Also. His mom has a yellow pickup truck with tons of stickers and a guitar on the backseat

Sally refused to use the subway ever since Percy was born (you know how the underground always smells like monsters and that's why Grover didn't notice the chimera? That was exactly why)

Percy used to cry in the seafood section of stores, especially if it had anything living there

Athena kids can achieve Eminem speed during debate, I will not elaborate any further

Oh also. They're not straight As kids, or at least not all of them, especially the older ones. I mean, the school system vs learning disorders? There's no way they're winning that fight entirely. They probably have the subjects they like and ace, and then the subject that are just there, and since they're not failing, they don't really care (yes this is about me getting a C from physics again, I hate physics)

Annabeth loves the "further is for physical distance, farther for metaphorical and father for emotional" tumblr post

Hera's cabin has a family portrait of the olympians, it's quite a bittersweet sight

Let Demeter kids have a scythe as their weapon of choice pls

Athena kids make so many lame nerd puns. Occasionally, a Hephaestus kid or a secret nerd will laugh.

Athena kids are definitely the type to fight the teacher about their grade. They will gather evidence that their answer is technically correct and either impress or annoy the teacher so much they will actually change their grade

All Athena kids have a resting bitch face (just like Hermes kids have a face that says they're troublemakers)

Hermes kids are naturally skilled at orientation on a map and in terrain

Hephaestus and Hermes cabin have once held a lock-picking competition (based on speed but also the amount of damage caused)

Every single person in the Athena cabin has seen both Dead Poets Society and School of Rock (and loved it)

For an absolutely nonexistent reason I think the Aphrodite cabin has some pro tip for washing blood out of clothes and stuff

Very stereotypical of me but in the Ares cabin, the strongest is the leader and their word is law, if you disagree, you gotta participate in a one on one fight of choice (it doesn't matter that much if you win, at least you still prove your bravery and the courage to stand up for what you believe in). Meanwhile, the Athena cabin votes on everything. And yes, they are proud of it. And yes, they have senate level debates where everyone uses whatever dirt they have on the others to win (because they probably know too much gossip without even really intending to) sometimes. Only sometimes.

Also. They have ostrakism which is basically a thing where you break a pot/vase/something, each person gets a piece and carves on the name of someone who is endangering democracy in their option. The person with the most votes gets chased out I think. Athena kids have changed up that part, they simply ban that person from voting for 6 months.

Athena kids with learning disorders. That's all I want to say.

Mentioning my previous 'Athena cabin has a Pallas cat' headcanon

Also Athena kids are the people who will point out historical stuff behind the names of places or companies (example: my country has a shopping centre called palladium, i instill the lore of the original palladium on anyone unfortunate enough to be there with me)

Apollo kids personalise their instruments - stickers, paint, carved initials, cool straps and other accessories, you name it!

They also have a whole row of those instrument hangers, yk what i mean?

TETO KASANE AI SYNTH V Q&A FOR PEOPLE WHO DONT KNOW WHAT ANY OF THIS MEANS

People are talking about the insane Teto News and I feel like as the resident vocal synthesis dork i wanna clarify some things with her new voicebank so. Here we go:

Q: Is she a VOCALOID now?

A: no, although this will be her first premium, professional voicebank, it is not on the VOCALOID engine. Teto will be on Synthesizer V and will feature as an AI voicebank

Q: What is an AI voicebank? Is it techbro stuff?

A: not at all, AI voicebanks are voicebanks that are not only recorded with samples given by a voice provider, but are trained on the provider's singing as data to help the voicebank have a more natural sounding synthesis, and this allows it to tune itself too. Voice providers are paid for this work and give consent for it to be used, it isn't built on stolen work or time.

Q: Will her previous UTAU banks dissapear? Do we HAVE to pay for Teto now?

A: No, although in the case of some previous VOCALOID banks voice providers of UTAU banks were asked to delete distribution of their UTAU banks as they were now voicing a premium bank, this seems to be a thing of the past and also only an issue that would occur for VOCALOID voicebanks and their providers, Synthesizer V has a few banks that were previously UTAU banks that are still in distribution, so it is likely Teto's previous voicebanks will remain too.

Q: How much would Teto SynthV cost?

A: around $80, which is standard for most third party character voices for the engine. If you wish to get her just digitally however, I recommend getting her through DLsite as there are frequent discounts and coupons there. I preordered teto for £51 after my coupon discount there (note; this site also sells adult doujin, be careful where you tread)

Q: Do I need Synthesizer V to use her SynthV bank?

A: yes. Specifically you would need Synthesizer V Pro, which is a paid version of the programme. This comes to about $151 from the Dreamtonics website, and you can get any one of the currently avalible dreamtonics own voicebanks as a bundle with it.

(Edit, old answer kept for transparency) you CAN use the standard, non pro version of synthV, you will just be unable to use any of the AI functuonality of her voicebank, alongside other limitations.

Q: why do you care so much about answering these hypothetical questions

A: cause the alternative is having to see misinformation spread about one of the things i am extremely autistic about.

Anyway feel free to drop me any questions if u have any.

Spoiled (NSFW)

Paring : RichBf!Denki x Reader

Tags : Denki has a tongue piercing, Cunnulingus, riding, vaginal penetration, creampie, established relationship, ripped fishnets while fucking

Summary : Denki Kaminari, a young man in his 20s and too rich for his age, decides to spoil you, his girlfriend of a few months. After a shopping spree, he takes you back to his penthouse so you can give him the thanks he deserves.

Denki Kaminari was a young man with too much money, so much money that he didn't know what to do with it.

The Young 20-something pro hero is living his best life every night without a dent in his wallet. He knew hero work would make him rich but not this rich.

He had everything he could ever want, penthouse, convertible, and a smoking hot girlfriend. You were Denkis favorite part of his young adulthood.

He loves to spoil you. He'd let you buy any piece of clothing or jewelry for you to feel pretty. He likes to think he's helping.

Shopping sprees would just be him carrying all your bags full of designer clothing as he followed you around like a lost puppy dog.

He'd answer "this or that?" Questions with a smug."Why not both?", and he'd patently wait outside boutiques and lingerie stores and eagerly ask what you got as you hand him back his premium credit card.

Then, after the long day of shopping, you'd ride back to his penthouse in his jet-black Chevrolet Corvette that you told him to buy 3 months ago.

His hand on your exposed thigh as a few fingers slip under the hèm of your tight skirt, violating your innocent image that you put on every time the both of you go out in public.

"I'm gonna fuck you so good when we get home." He whispers in your ear as the traffic light turns red and cars stop, you can't help but giggle at his cocky nature.

Your boyfriend and his antics, though the both of you weren't anything serious, you still were the hottest couple around.

Once you arrived, he didn't waste any time. As soon as the penthouse door locked, he dropped the bags, carrying you bridal style to the bedroom.

"Babe, be careful with the bags! There's expensive stuff in there!" You whined, seeing the discarded bags left at the door, "it's fine! I'll buy you new ones." He promised, kissing your cheek.

Laying you down on the satin sheets, watching your thighs rubbing together alredy needy for his cock, but ofcourse he wants to spoil you just a bit more.

He pushed your pencil skirt up to your waist before ripping your fishnets open to expose your black thong that he asked you to wear.

Slipping the fabric to to the side of your puffy folds as he moved his face in between your thighs, peppering your clit with kisses and suckles listening to your sweet little noises.

And it fainaly hit you, the cold freezing sensation of his tongue pricing, the pricing you told him not to get, and now you can't get enough of it.

He was hooked to the sounds you'd make when he'd lap up and down your folds. It was Denkis little addiction.

The wet metal and tongue teased your cute bundle of nerves as you griped desperately at his tacky sheets.

His hands prying open your shakey thighs that were still bound by your lacey fishnets. Silky dress hugging every curve of your body.

He twitched in his stone-washed jeans, cock begging to be acknowledged. Not yet, not while he has you like this.

Your nice legs thrown over his broad shoulders as his peirced tounge played with you, His blonde hair brushing against your abdomen.

He could do this forever if you'd let him, but he didn't want to keep you waiting forever.

His lips fainally parted from your sopping cunt, alredy wet and wanting more. He felt proud at the sight of such a bitch in heat he couldn't wait to stuff that hole of yours.

He kneeled in between your legs, his hands slipping under your arched back, lifting you to unzip your dress as he kissed your neck, leaving bites and hickes from your jaw to your collar bone.

He slipped it off your body, throwing it on the bedroom floor, leaving you in your ripped and ruined fishnets.

Your chest against his, lips intertwined with his as you pawed at his white button up, his hands held you, palms against your bare back.

He parted the kiss as you desperately tried to steal another second, "mm-m." The blonde scolded into the muffled kiss as a 'stop', you whined as he laughed at your desperation.

"Wanna ride me baby?" He asked, Denkis voice was like milk and honey. You were honestly down for anything, so desperate for even a sliver of his attention, you'd do anything.

It's the least you could do after spending that much of his money today.

You nodded, ecstatic. He hugged you, moving you on top of him as he layed on his back, you straddled him, grinding against the harsh denim.

Your hands worked at the buckle, unzipping the jeans as he kicked it off, you lowered the hem of his black underwear, springing out was his eager cock alredy twitching for you.

You slipped it off of him, throwing it wherever.

You looked at him with hooded eyes, waiting patiently for his command like the good girl you are.

Denkis hands placed firmly on your hips as he made you sink onto him. He made you take every single inch inside you.

Your hands against his abs holding yourself up for support, slowly grinding with him inside, letting your insides get used to the stretch of taking him in.

Whines slipped out of your lips as you started to bounce on him, taking your time as you enjoyed the feeling of this kind of intimacy.

Though you both did it almost every night, he made it feel like it was it was your first every time. The way he stole every thought from your pretty head was addictive.

You made him hit that sweet spongey spot over and over again as you desperately fucked him like the bunny slut you are.

Your brain starts to fuzz, feeling lightheaded at the feeling of him hitting that special spot over and over again.

You were just getting started yet you alredy look so fucked out on his cock, eyes rolling back and mouth slightly agape.

You rode him desperately, not even close to your edge, but you couldn't wait to push your limits riding his length.

Denki loved you like this. He loved you regardless of the sex but it was a huge bonus, fainally a girl who can handle him and more.

He loved the way your velvet walls clenched around him everytime he spoke, every sound you make is music to his ears, and the way your tits bounce every time you humped his cock desperately.

If he wasn't so entertained by the veiw, he would've taken out his phone and recorded this by now, have the memory in his pocket. but he knows there's gonna be a lot more nights, equally as entertaining.

So why not live in the moment? Beautiful girl getting off on his cock, couldn't get better.

Your back arched, legs shaking with a knot in your stomach threatening to snap any second, you looked at your boyfriend, his head thrown back, nestled in the pillows as his blonde locks layed out on the cushions.

"You close, babe?" you asked, voice shakey. "Yeah, so fuckin' close," his voice was airy, alredy out of oxygen as you watched his chest showcase his uneven breaths.

You squeezed your eyes shut oblivious to his hands wandering to your waist, passing the fishnets on your skin.

He made you bounce on his cock faster, controlling your pace as your hands held your ankles, keeping you anchored on the bed.

You heard the expensive bedframe creek with every hastey movement you made.

You started to chant out his name in praise, trying your hardest not to cum at every touch he made on your body.

Without a warning, you felt him fill you up, fluids racing down your thighs. Body trembling and calming down with every breath you take. It was pure bliss.

You collapsed, your head resting against his toned chest, body still exposed and connected.

After spoiling you the whole day, it was worth it to wake up to you in the morning.

You wearing his button up, still bair under the fabrics, his arm wrapped around you as the morning sun shined outside of the glass walls.

Only to wake up and spoil you once more.

Moonvale

Because nobody asked for my opinion... I'm going to give it anyway.

Thought, pros and cons of the new game. It's not super spoilery but I'm going to hide it just in case.

First, I would like to say I was NOT at all expecting the new story to be a continuation of Duskwood or to even be a similar story to Duskwood. Everbyte made it very clear this is not what Moonvale was meant to be. I went into this with a completely open mind and tried my best not to compare Moonvale to Duskwood. I was still disappointed. There were several changes Everbyte made that were great but they were overshadowed by the negative changes.

Pros:

1. There is now an LGBTQ option when you enter your name and Duskwood code. This doesn't apply to me so I'm not sure what it changes in the game but this option was needed.

2. You can use diamonds to skip mini-games. I would have spent money just to do this if everything else didn't cost so much.

3. This is just my opinion but the mini-games seemed to be a bit easier.

4. The Duskwood side story. It's not much now but I would play the game just for that. Was it worth spending money to finish sooner? No.

Cons:

1. Money money money. There's no premium package that unlocks everything. I get that Everbyte has to make money off of the game but the content wasn't worth what they were charging!

2. I found the characters really unlikable. Eric was alright, but the rest I couldn't care less for. I started out liking charlie but he quickly became annoying. I really wanted to like Ash but something about her just rubbed me the wrong way. Where was the character development here?!

3. The story line! The Billy Blake story was long and pointless. Maybe it will be important later on but it definitely could have been shorter. It took like 3 mini-game sessions just to get through it! When he said "should I continue" I literally yelled no!

4. The story line! It was unoriginal. Some parts felt very copy, paste, change a few lines and here's a new story.

5. The mini-games. I didn't like how it forced you to play them at set times. One of the things I liked about Duskwood is that you could play all the mini-games in each set and then not have to stop the story so much.

6. AI! I get that they don't have actors for all of the characters but why not use stock images like before? Why do they have to use AI?!?!

7. You can't rewatch ANY of the videos or phone calls. They literally disappear. Yet somehow they are "saved" so you can send them to other characters.

8. We waited 2 years for that?! It had the potential to be amazing and even better than Duskwood. We know Everbyte can make an amazing game Duskwood is proof of that. This did not live up to those standards

I'm sure there's more but this is all I can think of at the moment.

[octuscle]

Hey there. I guess I need help with my chronivac. In my neighborhood there are more and more Arabic and Turkish men. It doesn't bother me that they are Arabic or Turkish or whatever. But they all look so extremely good - nice hair, nice beard, nice tan, nice bulges, extremely self confident... and I'm starting to get a little jealous, cause I'm a chubby, shy, white German (Alman).

Now the real Problem - the chronivac basic settings can't help me and the chronivac pro settings are way too complicated for me. So I hope you can help and change me to become less jealous in my neighborhood.

Okay, let's see how chronivac pro premium support can help you.

On your way to the subway in the morning, you usually grab a coffee to go at the kiosk in your ecologically sustainable reusable mug and buy a Süddeutsche Zeitung. But this morning you forgot your mug. So you order a Turkish mocha, which you drink directly at one of the bar tables. You also get a sesame seed curl and the BILD newspaper. For the first time, you talk to the owner of the kiosk. You've been a customer here for years. You take a second mocha and buy a pack of cigarettes. Fuck, then you're in the office half an hour later. Who cares?

You don't give a shit that smoking is not allowed on the platform. You blow your smoke onto the platform out of the subway and just throw the cigarette out onto the floor, while the doors are closing. And you snot right after it.

The work in the office pisses you off today. Boring chatter, unproductive meetings. During the lunch break, your colleagues are talking about Turkey's role in the Ukraine conflict. When you say that Erdogan is a great leader and that you would like to see more statesmen like him, everyone stares at you in disbelief. Fuck, that's right. Most heads of state are effeminate losers! We need more men who can thump their fists on the table. Like Erdogan and Putin.

You're glad when you can finally call it a day. You need a reward. Just normal people around you. You allow yourself a visit to the new barber store on your street. On the street in front of it a group of young men smoking. You have to wait only one cigarette length for a free appointment. You let one of the guys give you a light and smoke a cigarette with them. And then you sit down in the barber's chair. Can is an artist. You love the way he shapes your beard, makes your skull look more angular with the undercut, and trims your sprawling eyebrows. And he makes a damn good mocha.

When Can takes away the hairstyling cape, you're more than satisfied. Yes, to your brothers here, you're just an infidel. But you fit in quite well visually. Sure, most bros are better worked out than you. But you don't have to hide. It's just that you are so pale that annoys you. That's why you go directly before training on the tanning bed in the gym after the haircut . And so that the sweating is really worth it, after pumping up to the sauna. Hammam would be better, but there is no such thing in your discount gym.

It doesn't show that you are not a Turk or an Arab. And since you speak fluent Turkish, Arabic and Albanian, no one in the sauna would suspect that you have a German passport. Infidel! No matter what they think of you. The main thing is that nothing can separate you and your brothers!

Nahida banner is going to run soon and i wanted to talk about her and her pros and cons if you're deciding to wish for her or not. i have both heavily invested c2 nahida who is top 8% on field builds on akasha and f2p no cons horrible support build nahida, so i can talk about different levels of investment.

her pros:

best dendro application in the game with 100% uptime.

sharing of up to 250 EM to on field character, which is very good buff to spread or aggravate carries.

she has insane AOE, you can tag entire room of enemies from far away and they will be dying passively, just from nahida's dot, which is very nice for single-target teams like hyperbloom or nilou teams that can't have grouping.

her less known pro is that she can have very good personal damage if well built, like alhaitham is called "top 3 dps" and my nahida does more damage than my alhaitham on field. the reason alhaitham is even viable is bc nahida is a tiny radish with short legs and is very clumsy to run, dash and attack.

but if you don't want her to do personal damage, she is perfectly functional with purely support build too, which is very easy and quick to get, and with 3 star weapon.

her cons are really good, and her c2 makes any dendro team insane

her banner will have xingqiu and kuki, and with nahida this is a ready made hyperbloom core that will clear one side of the abyss with minimum investment. or any content, to be clear, like if you dont care about abyss, this is a boss killer team.

overall, universal dendro support who can slot into almost any dendro team and has considerable to great personal damage.

her cons:

her insane dendro application is actually too thick and it will overrun other elements, which is very relevant for aggravate teams. you can't swirl electro thru nahida's E, so if enemy didn't die in one rotation, then on second rotation you're swirling leaf and your electro dps will not get damage buff.

another con is that she tags specific enemies, so if you kill a wave and the next wave appears, she needs to come back on field to tag them again. this is a problem for characters like cyno who do damage in long infusion state, he cannot switch to nahida without losing that infusion. characters like baizhu would be more comfortable for this.

as i already said, short child model is clumsy to use on field

her alternatives:

for kinich she doesn't do anything at all, he can be either solo dendro or work with emily

for dendro teams with furina, baizhu is preferred as a healer who can quickly stack fanfare

for nilou, she's still best in slot and tbh nilou with nahida and nilou without nahida is very much night and day, but even so, nilou has enough other option that she will be okay without nahida, with like, yao yao, baizhu, dendro traveler, kirara, tho AOE will tank significantly.

overall, in other dendro teams like spread, aggravate, hyperbloom, burgeon, you can use options like baizhu, yao yao, dendro traveler, kirara. they will have less application and AOE will drop to almost single target, but it will be functional

TLDR:

is nahida still meta? YES. she's still the most universal dendro support and the BEST, arguably only true consistent off field AOE dendro applicator who is not reliant on burst.

is she must pull? no, if you don't want to. when she just came out and there were almost no dendro characters, she was, but now we have enough options, both premium and 4 star, to slot into dendro teams instead of nahida and be functional.

get nahida if you like her and you want strongest AOE dendro support that you can use in almost any dendro teams, but don't feel pressured.

EDIT: if u want to vertically invest in nahida, get her cons, as i already said, her c2 is insane. do NOT get her weapon, its mid as fuck. for damage build yae's kagura is her best option, or any dmg oriented catalyst like widsith or lost prayer. for support, 4 star EM sac frags is about as good, and even 3 star magic guide will work.

EDIT2:

yes, you can use it as a support weapon, esp in nilou teams it'll be good. it's not bad support option if you happen to get it, its just not worth going for specifically. about nahida cons, i would advise to first trying your teams with c0 nahida bc this is more than enough. if nilou and nahida team doesnt feel like it doing damage, i would first look into rotations and if you have EM on the correct character, bc in bloom its crucial to know who will be the trigger

Your Yearly Free Medical Care Checklist

If you are an American who is lucky enough to have health insurance, you almost certainly have free medical care coming your way.

Several annual and semi-annual services are available to you with no copay—and you have absolutely no reason not to use them. Technically, you have already bought them, as their cost is built into the premiums you’ve already paid. And your body will thank you for it! Even if you feel perfectly healthy, establishing a baseline of health will help your medical professionals detect problems early.

Pro-tip: don’t wait until the end of the year to do all this stuff! Every medical office I’ve ever been to is slammed during November and December as everyone tries to use up their benefits. Schedule it now to avoid the crush.

Here’s what you should be doing every year.

Context: The jikook show is going to ruin me for any other show ever. I just know it. Imagine AYS is over and you go over to netflix and it's all meh, no jimin, no jk, no giggles. Then you go over to appletv, same. Then you go to hulu, same shxt. Nothing will ever come close. I'm already sick and wrecked and ruined.

____________________________________________________________

It's the year 2045. I'm on my 118th watch of AYS. I have already watched it at 0.25x, 0.5x, 0.75x , rewinded, with zero volume, on Dolby speakers, streamed it in my present car and old car, in my tablet, office PC and smart TV.

I count the hairs on JK's arm, I can still count all 5813 of them. I have taken 648934984 screenshots of Jimin's bare legs. I take 1 more, just in case. I pause every time they "i am you, you are me". I wipe the single tear off my eye and continue. But this time, I notice something I have never noticed before. The whole tumblr community has churned and squeezed the 8 episodes and 3 behind the scenes every day, annually, monthly and biweekly, every tkker has been trolled, every anti has either moved on or is in an institution. But this.. this is new. I see it in the 7th episode. Did I tell you I'm on my 118th watch? I see the toothbrushes have been exchanged. What? They have exchanged toothbrushes. They don't care. They are gross. They are in love. Their dentist hates them. Wait. I gotta tell somebody...Does the jikook tag still exist on tumblr? Does tumblr still exist? Nevermind. I go to Xpro (twitter pro). I finally bought the premium. So now, it allows me to like stuff while keeping them private. Even I can't see my likes. But I do get a personal message from Elon's AI persona every month which is a review of my liked posts and how I can upgrade my Xpro xperience. The real Elon is de@d. He was ki!!ed by an Xpro bluetick bot account.

I need to let somebody know. I need to share my discovery with old buddies. Suddenly, I see a "JIKOOK LIVE TOGETHER" trending with 1566 posts. Pretty low, but it's there. A single person has hijacked the tag to mention S.Korea's govt. I come across a blurry video. A face with half moon eyes, biggest smile, waving from a big goth mansion's balcony. He is looking at the camera, he doesn't care. They are gross. A taller man appears behind him. He starts feeding him what looks like a large pancake. They are gross. Suddenly, I don't care anymore.

I don't care about the toothbrushes they shared 23 years ago.

I log off the internet to get a smoke. They are gross. I don't care about anything anymore. I'm sure of that. I'm sure now.

What's up, fellow learners? It's your boy, the one and only, here to drop some knowledge bombs on your puny brains. Just kidding, I'm not really that arrogant, but you know who was? Steve Jobs. That's right, the man, the myth, the legend, the guy who invented the iPhone and made us all slaves to our screens.

Now, you might think that Jobs was all about innovation and creativity, but let me tell you, he was also all about money. And what's the best way to make money? That's right, by ripping off your customers. Don't believe me? Just look at the prices of Apple products. You could buy a whole new laptop for the same price as one of their chargers.

But hey, if you're willing to pay a premium for a brand name, that's your choice. Just don't come crying to me when your iPhone breaks after a year and you have to shell out another grand for a new one. Jobs knew how to keep his customers hooked, and it wasn't by making reliable products.

And don't even get me started on Jobs' obsession with aesthetics. Sure, Apple products look sleek and sexy, but at what cost? How many times have you dropped your iPhone because it's so slippery? How many times have you accidentally hit the touch bar on your MacBook Pro because it's in the wrong place? Jobs cared more about how his products looked than how they functioned.

But hey, who am I to judge? Jobs was a genius, after all. He knew how to market his products and make people want them, even if they were overpriced and impractical. And let's face it, we're all suckers for a good marketing campaign.

So there you have it, folks. Steve Jobs may have been a visionary, but he was also a master of manipulation. He knew how to make you want something you didn't really need, and he knew how to make you pay through the nose for it. But hey, if you're willing to drink the Kool-Aid, go ahead and buy that new iPhone. Just don't say I didn't warn you.

A new year, but first ...

Time moves fast, and right now I feel like it was only yesterday that we jumped into 2024, but.. January is already gone, and before we get too far into the new year, I want to do a quick recap on how 2023 went for our little team!

2023 has been a busy year for Mia. Luckily, Olive decided to join in with a helping hand, not only with the horses, but also with Ellie, which has been giving Mia a bit more time to focus on the training and the shows. A new Show Jumping Circuit showed its ‘face’ this year, which gave Mia a few more opportunities to travel with the horses. Candlelight is still a young horse, he’s only turning 7 this year, and with all the power he has inside his body (and mind), he still has a lot to learn. Mia has taken it slow with him this year and tried not to press him too much in the show arenas. He has lots of potential, but he needs some more routine before we want to move him up in the classes. During the spring-months Mia took both Ballerine and Candlelight to California and then next to Stockholm for the CWT Shows. Candlelight did some very good rounds, finishing 1st in his class in California and 3rd in Stockholm. Sadly, after returning home after both shows, we saw a bit of stress with Candlelight, and decided that he wouldn’t be joining us for the CTJL Monaco show at the end of summer. We want to take good care of our horses, and if that means that we are only bringing them for smaller, local shows, well, that’s what we will do. With Mia away for some of the bigger shows, Olive took over the daily training of Candlelight, which showed a big change in Candlelight’s behavior; Olive is a really talented rider, but she doesn’t have the biggest experiences as a show-rider, but seeing Candlelight changing from one big firecracker to a gentle giant with Olive, led to Mia making a decision to let Olive take over the reins full-time. Olive and Candlelight participated in a few local shows at the end of the year, and they actually finished 3rd in the local championship! We are so very proud of both of them, and Olive has already agreed on trying out for a few bigger shows this year, as long as they still stay in the lower levels.

Mia and Ballerine had a fantastic year! We started the year off with the CWT shows, where Ballerine finished 2nd in her classes in both California and Stockholm. At the end of the summer, Mia went to probably the biggest show of the year, the CTJL show in Monaco. Mia was filled up with nerves and almost started to reconsider why the heck she decided to be a show jumping rider, but during their final round, Ballerine showed her why by being the very best friend Mia could ever have wanted in her life. Ballerine was such a pro as always, keeping Mia safe, and did a flawless round, which brought them to the top of the podium in the 1.30m. class! 

With the new circuit this year, the Kuse Jumping Tour, running with qualifications during the whole year, Mia and Ballerine gathered enough points to qualify for the finals in December! This time Mia had backup from the whole team consisting of her mom and Ellie, Olive and her trainer, Ryan O’Neil. The team went to Oliva, Spain, for the finals - and what a wait to end the year; coming in 1st in their class, and ending in 2nd place on the class-leaderboard, and 7th place on the overall leaderboard for the KJT! We are so very proud, and we hope to see the KJT on the calendar again soon!

2023 also brought an extension to the team: Magnolia’s Valerie - our sweet young Hanoverian dressage-mare, bred by Mia’s aunt. Valerie joined our team back in the summer. In September, The Hanoverian Association hosted a wonderful Grading-show in Georgia, and since Georgia is also our home-base, Mia decided to take Valerie to the show. This was a huge success with Valerie being placed 1st in her division and awarded with the highest title possible - the Premium title! 

Since Mia is a former dressage rider, and was given the opportunity to get back in the dressage arenas with Valerie, Mia took a big chance at the end of the year. Valerie had only been in the stable for 4 months, but with the talent and huge improvements she showed every single day in their daily training, Mia decided to ‘go all or nothing’. Just before going to Oliva, Spain, for the KJT Finals with Ballerine, Mia entered the DWBCYH - Dressage World Breeding Championship for Young Horses! The competition was held over a few days with a qualification round, and the Final where the new World Champion for 4, 5, 6 and 7 years old horses would be found. And what a show it turned out to be! Placing 1st in their qualification round with a score of 89.024% gave them a ticket straight into the Final round. Somehow Mia felt at peace before their round, and when their score was announced, the tears started to roll down her face: 93.902% - and winner of the title as World Champion for the 4 years old dressage horses! This score also turned out to be the only score during the whole show to be over 90%!

We are so pleased with how 2023 went - and with some small changes to the team-structure, and a new face, who will be introduced soon, we are more than ready to bring our A-game into 2024!

A big thank you to all the show hosts of the shows in 2023 - we have enjoyed participating in the shows, and we are hoping to see your shows again this year! Also a big thank you to the breeders of our horses - without your trust in us to take care of these amazing animals, we wouldn’t be where we are today! ❤️✨
