I picked up a 400w 4ch 2/4ohm amp for my JDM, but the speakers even though are 4ohm, didn't like being hooked up to individual channels. (FL would randomly go out, and there was a faint buzzing all the time) after I upgraded the RCA wiring, relocated the ground, and put the speakers to 2ch, everything has been running perfect, but now I'm left with 2 unused channels.
Is it possible to power a small 8" sub? I'm not looking for anything stupid, just to add a bit more depth to the sound, maybe around 200w. Would I need a 4ohm sub or a 2ohm?

I wasn't feeling very creative today, so to cover up spoilers I just looked up "weird fun facts." Apparently crocodiles can't stick their tongues out, and farm pigs can't look up at the sky because they have too much neck fat.
Trigger Warnings: addiction, parental death, possibly murder but not explicitly stated
Mood Spoiler: Good ending for OOP, but still sad all around
Original : February 27, 2023
I (23F) inherited my grandparents house and land last year. I’d rather have my grandparents back, but at least I’m set up with a good place to live out of college and don’t have to worry about housing like a lot of my friends. I’ve been seeing my boyfriend Adam (24M) for a year and a half and we’ve been planning to move in together this summer. He would be moving to my place. Right now he lives in an apartment with 3 roommates.
Adam has an older brother that is kind of a POS. He and his girlfriend are addicts and have been involved in shady stuff in the past so Adam only talks to them at holidays usually. They have a son (5M) that Adam sends birthday cards and gifts to but hasn’t spent a whole lot of time around because of the family drama. A couple of weeks ago, the worst happened and the girlfriend died and Adam’s brother is going to be in jail probably for a very long time. Adam’s mom is disabled and not in good enough health to keep up with a 5 year old full time. Girlfriend’s family apparently disowned her and want nothing to do with it. That leaves Adam as a guardian for the kid or foster care.
I am not a kid person. I don’t dislike kids, but I had my own messed up childhood and I would not be a good parent or be able to deal with the noise and chaos of a small kid easily. Adam knows this as we’ve had the “what if there’s an oops” and future planning conversations. So, I was surprised when Adam asked about moving plans up for us to live together so that he would have space to take in his nephew. I said I wasn’t ok with him bringing his nephew and that since the situation had changed the plan would have to be put off until something was figured out. He said there’s no room for his nephew at his current place and rent is sky high so he wouldn’t be able to afford a new place on his own. My place has plenty of room and would be perfect, and this is literally the difference between his nephew staying with family and going god knows where. We argued and his mom has been calling me to beg me to let them stay with me for awhile until they can make other arrangements. I have a feeling that a little while would turn into permanently once the kid got comfortable.
Mutual friends have been telling me I’d be an asshole for not helping Adam at least temporarily because I’m lucky to have the space, but I really don’t want my space invaded like that and have to deal with kicking them out eventually if nothing else comes up.
Relevant Comments: (OOP added quite a bit of clarifying information)
People point out this is probably the end of the relationship:
"Yeah, sadly it probably is. I’d be happy to continue dating seriously without living together because it would still be a year or two before I’d feel comfortable getting engaged and married and that’s plenty of time to work on a solution, but if it’s now or bust I’m going to have to pick bust. Feeling pressured into things is a big deal for me."
More about why she would be willing to live separately for a few years when a kid is a longer commitment:
"I’d be ok with being in a permanent relationship with someone I didn’t live with, so maybe a solution is we stay together and live separately until the kid is grown up. That would work for me, I’m pretty self-sufficient and I don’t need a live-in partner to be happy, I think. I also have a feeling this guardian situation isn’t going to last, Adam doesn’t strike me as the kind of person right now to take on a traumatized little kid and all the stuff that goes with it. I’d give it 3 months for the panic to wear off and the reality sets in for him to realize how much it’s going to change his life in ways he can’t deal with. Maybe I’ll be surprised, but Adam is one of those people that kinda needs to start with keeping a houseplant alive first."
Didn't he already take in his nephew?
"I mean technically he hasn’t yet, he needs a stable place to live that meets CPS basic requirements before they turn the kid over to him so the kid is living in a temporary foster home right now."
More about why she thinks he would not be a good fit for his nephew:
"We’ve been friends for awhile before we started dating. He’s never taken care of a kid. Never even had a pet. He’s a good guy, but he’s a dude in his early 20s that hasn’t had a whole lot of responsibility or tie downs until now and part of the reason that I want to ease into living together and thinking about marriage over a few years is that I grew up in an unstable environment with unstable people and was in foster care for awhile and I want to make sure he can settle and stabilize. I don’t think he completely understands what’s going to happen when the backpats stop and he has to deal with actually having a kid."
"I’m not shitting on him but as someone who was a child in a similar need, I know that well intentioned people like Adam often make it worse and not every desire to step up is followed by a capacity to adequately step up without fucking op the kid even worse. If he can’t hack it, it’s the kid that’s going to suffer the majority of the fallout, so I don’t really think Adam is thinking of what’s really best for the kid as much as he doesn’t want to think he’s a bad person for refusing to take on the kid. Foster care isn’t the worst thing that can happen here. He can still be involved in the kids life even if the kid is in foster care right now and can possibly take on custody in the future when he’s actually able to house and care for the kid. The kid IS in foster care right now, so he would have to get himself together just to be eligible."
Why can't bf's mom take the nephew in?
"No space. She lives in a one bedroom condo and I think there’s something with her disability that it would effect her status if someone earning a full paycheck was living with her, but I’m not 100% sure on that part."
Can boyfriend move into his Brother and SIL's house?
"Without getting into the messy details too much, no, nobody is going to be living there ever again."
More about the house:
"This house is the only safe place I had growing up. I really, really don’t want to move out of it, it’s one of the few places I feel completely at ease so it makes managing my PTSD easier. I know I’m safe here and no one can kick me out, get rid of me, or treat me like shit in my own house. I’m sorry for the kid but I’m not willing to give that up. I doubt Adam would be able to afford the rent since I couldn’t charge him less than what it would take to get me a place to live somewhere else, so it’s the same problem."
Let them stay for a bit:
"It’s a lot bigger deal than that. Even with a lease, if Adam can’t find somewhere and refuses to go I would have to give them 30 days notice to move before starting eviction and that would take at minimum like 30 days beyond that. So then I’m stuck for for at least an extra month or two with two people in my house that I don’t want there, one an angry ex, the other an already traumatized kid who will be taken back by CPS anyway if Adam is evicted with no place to go and doesn’t need to be exposed to anymore adults fighting and instability. This is one reason why it’s obvious to me that Adam isn’t ready to parent this kid, he doesn’t have a plan that doesn’t involve other people doing most of it for him."
OOP is voted NTA
First Update (Same Post): Somewhere between February 28-March 5. (Probably Feb 28, next day)
Well, decision made. I broke up with him last night. Reading all the responses made me realize that I don’t actually want him to move in with or without his nephew at this point. He did not take it well at all, but probably another reason this wasn’t going to work in the end. Hopefully he and his mom can figure something out together.
Update Two (Same Post): March 20, 2023 (3 weeks later)
Update - A small update for this. Some of you guys were totally right about his intentions. He dropped the idea of taking his nephew in a few days after I broke up with him and called from a mutual friend’s phone to ask me to take him back. I asked him why he wasn’t going to take in his nephew and he said it would be too hard to do alone. So, looks like he was expecting me to help him with the kid all along instead of just letting them stay for awhile, without a free place to live and a built in helper he’s not interested. I did not take him back. I think the breakup was the best thing that could have happened, I feel a lot better without him in my life. Thanks for the advice.

Chapter 1: The Start of a New Conflict
It was midnight in Kingswood, Arrowswift, a far from welcoming neighborhood. The type where its resident’s only idea of “welcoming” would be to greet new visitors (along with their wallets and other belongings) with open arms if they so much as suspect you’re of higher class, and won’t even hesitate to teach you some “manners” if you’re not a very well-behaved guest. On this one particular night, there was an event currently taking place inside the back alley entrance of a closed-down bar.
And through this entrance, just downstairs to the dim-lit hallway, turning a corner of the basement, right passed a muscly, rugged man guarding the door, was a fight club. A considerably large crowd bordered the cage, captivated by the brawl going on inside, bets were already placed and it was the end of the 5th round as a fighter was swiftly brought to the ground, defeated.
“Wow, five straight wins people, FIVE STRAIGHT WINS!” emphasized the announcer of the cage match. “It's like you guys WANT to look bad, c’mon!”
The crowd roared as the loser was dragged out of the cage.
“Alright, final round folks,” said the announcer. “Who wants to have the last dance with this handsome stud?” He gestured to the fighter of five straight wins, Dominic Ledger. The man of the hour nonchalantly stood there with his arms crossed and eyes closed as he waited for the 6th and final participant to enter the cage.
“I’ll take 'em!”
Ding Ding!
The sound of the bell made the fighter’s lips curl into a smirk as his hazel eyes slowly rose to meet the gaze of a big, burly man who looked to be in his 40s at least. He strutted up to Dominic with a smug grin on his face, towering over the shorter man with his shadow swallowing him whole, and sneered with a low, raspy, menacing voice.
“Hope you’re quick on your feet, pretty boy.” He cracked his knuckles and got in a fighting stance. “Cuz I dance dirty!”
Mildly amused, Dominic got in his own fighting stance and beckoned him to make the first move. As his opponent charged at him, Dominic sprung into the air with perfect timing and flipped over his back, causing his bulky contender to stumble and slide to the ground. Regaining his composure, the young fighter whipped his long, wavy poliosis-colored hair out of his face and turned to his “dancing” partner.
“Hmph, your ballet could use a little more practice, don’t ya think?” Dominic taunted.
Growling with anger, the bumbling bodybuilder let out a roar while lunging forward as he tried endlessly to throw every punch and kick under the sun at his younger, yet more experienced contender, all of which were unsurprisingly countered with ease. Dominic soon gained the upper hand, successfully returning every single jab and kick onto the bigger man before throwing him up against the cage face first as the crowd went nuts. So the cocky fighter took a moment to relish in the attention.
Meanwhile, a guy in the crowd, who wasn't cheering along with everyone else just looked around stoically with his arms folded, then mumbled to himself, “Alright, time to cut this short.” before walking off. The guy made his way to the cage gate when the announcer noticed him.
“Hey hey hey! Where ya th-” He was cut off by a hard shove to the face as the man proceeded to go inside. Not noticing, the soon-to-be champion walked up to his defeated combatant.
“Hey muscle man, I thought you’d be more of a challenge,” Dominic continued taunting. “I’m disappointed.”
“Don’t be cute with me boy. I’d give your ass something to sas about if I didn’t have to put ya away first,” he replied slyly.
“Wha- GHAHHH!” The champ suddenly got tased from behind by the same man from the crowd and was brought to the ground.
“Hey, you!” shouted the announcer, confronting the intruder. “First off, no weapons allowed! Second, if you ain't a fighter, you can’t just enter the cage like that!”
The man pulled out a police badge and put it right in the announcer’s face. “APD, I can do whatever the fuck I want. Now shut up.”
The announcer was completely stunned and backed away with his hands up as the cop addressed the entire crowd. “Alright everyone, show’s over! You’re ALL under arrest!”
Meanwhile, Dominic’s "opponent" who’s also revealed to be undercover handcuffed him while he was subdued on the ground, chuckling at his expense.
“Fuck…” was all the passionate fighter could groan out as he rolled over on his back and just laid there, deflated by what just happened.
Four Months Later…
“Dominic Ledger!”
Dominic’s hazel eyes popped wide open, jumping slightly in his bed. Previously asleep in his cell, he is suddenly startled awake by the gruff voice of a correctional officer.
“You’re free to go.”
“Huh?” Dominic was a bit stunned that he was being released so soon after just four months of incarceration. As he’s being escorted out, he passes by an inmate who calls out to him, “Yo Dom, lemme know when you open up ya dojo!” to which Dominic only nodded with a smile.
He changes from his prison garments back into the black tank top, baggy purple, black, and white tribal tracksuit, and white sneakers that he wore at the fight club, and walks up to the front desk for the rest of his belongings.
“Looks like the early jailbird gets the worm, huh?” said the female jail clerk, handing him his stuff.
“I know, thought I’d be here longer,” Dominic admitted to her.
“Yeah well, that’s how it is when your uncle’s a famous boxer,” said another officer walking passed the former inmate. “By the way, thanks for teaching me that knife hand strike,” he whispers to him before walking away as Dominic gives him a wink, leaving with his things.
Outside of the Corrections Department, a red Volvo drives up to the front of the building. The driver of this expensive car is Clarence Dukes with his son Seth in the passenger seat.
“Get outta the car and get in the backseat boy.” Clarence barked at his son.
“Huh?” Seth answered confused.
“You heard me!” Clarence bellowed. “Backseat now! So your cousin can sit up front.”
“He can’t sit in the back?” Seth shot back, unbuckling his seatbelt.
“No,” he said sternly, “that boy’s had a hard life and we gotta be courteous to him. And maybe if you had the same drive and discipline your cousin does, you’d get the same privilege. Til then, earn it first!”
Seth gets out of the car and into the backseat just as Dominic exited the building. Clarence gets out to greet his approaching nephew with his arms extended wide, accompanied by a deep, raspy, “He-ey Dominic!”
“Hey, Uncle Clarence.” Dominic greeted back as they embraced with the older man’s big, beefy body practically engulfing him.
“Ahh It’s been so long, how ya feelin' boy?” Clarence asked.
“Never been better,” Dominic replied.
“Hey, Dominic.” Seth waves at his cousin unenthusiastically.
“Hey, Seth.” Dominic waved back.
“C’mon, get in.” Clarence opens up the passenger seat for his nephew. “We’ll go get the rest of your stuff back at your old place.”
On the way to Dominic’s apartment, he and his uncle continued catching up while Seth remained quiet in the backseat.
“So how was it in the clink?” Clarence asked. “Ya shoulda called and told me you got locked up, I would’ve posted bail sooner.”
“Eh, it’s not too bad in there, nothing I’m used to,” Dominic replied.
“That’s what I always admired about you, Dom; hard like iron. Ya know what that is? That’s that Dukes blood running through your veins.”
“I’ll say this,” Dominic continued, “their gym is much better than any I’ve ever been to.”
“Yeah? Well, just wait til you see mine, you’ll have a field day.” Clarence chuckled, “But I see you’ve been packing on some muscles of your own, I bet you had all those inmates at your mercy huh? Ya let em know you’re the nephew of the great Duke of Steel?”
“Actually, I’ve just had some guys ask me to teach them a few moves,” Dominic corrected him, “Some even said I should consider becoming an MMA instructor.”
“Well, maybe someday you can be,” Clarence assured him, “but ya gotta work your way up to that first. Shouldn’t take too long though cuz I’ve always said you were a rising star, I just never understood why your mom never saw that in ya.”
“Mom already had enough to deal with, but she definitely never approved of my relationship with violence,” Dominic said.
“Hey! Martial arts ain’t violence, it’s an art form,” Clarence argued, “Believe me, if your mom could see you for the champion you’ll become (thanks to me), she’d change her tune.”
“If you say so,” Dominic replied tentatively.
“You got lots of potential kid, and heart; just no direction is all. But don’t worry my nephew, cuz when I'm done with you, you’re gonna be a legend. No more going behind back alleys or small, stuffy, overcrowded bars fighting a bunch of no-names and winning chump change. Picture this instead: A big, flashy stadium, packed from every angle, with ALL eyes on you as you go neck and neck with other big-name fighters and hearing YOUR name echoed throughout the whole damn building when you rise as the victor!” Clarence chuckles, “Now that’s a dream, right?”
Dominic gives a half-hearted laugh. “Yeah, that sure is a lot to take in.”
They finally arrive at Dominic's apartment, once parked, Clarence turns to his nephew and puts a hand on his shoulder.
“Well, you’re with us now, and we’re happy to have ya. And right on time too, cuz Seth here needs ALL the push he can get. Speaking of which, Seth! Go help your cousin get his things!” Clarence ordered his son again, snapping his fingers this time. “Go! Pick up the pace! A good workout for ya.” Seth moaned, rolling his eyes but did what he was told.
After gathering the rest of Dominic’s things, Clarence drives them back to the wealthy neighborhood of Copper Lane where they eventually arrive at his mansion. Inside, Clarence’s daughter Claire was in the middle of an online kickboxing session in her father’s personal gym.
“Remember, keep it straight, don’t lean.” said her instructor over the laptop.
“How’s this?” she asked.
“Good,” he complimented, “You’re a pretty fast learner.”
“Well, you’re a pretty good teacher.” she flirted back winking at him.
“CLAIRE!!!” Claire jumps when she hears her father.
“Oh fuck, dad’s home! I gotta go!” She rushes to close her laptop and quickly hides behind the door just as her father barges in looking for her.
“Claire, I know you’re in here!” With his back turned, she tries to sneak out only to bump into her older cousin.
“Oh, Dom! You’re here!” she exclaimed nervously.
“In a rush?” he playfully asked.
“Yeah well, ya know how it is. So how was it in ja-” Her words are cut off by a sudden yank of her shoulder as her father spins her around to face him.
“Claire!” Clarence holds up a bracelet she left in his gym. “You been in my gym again?”
Avoiding his question, she responds with, “Dad, do you mind? I’m trying to catch up with my cousin.”
Clarence grabs her by the arm. “Scuse us, Dom.” He drags her to her room and shuts the door. “I told you you can’t be a fighter!”
“Dad, this isn’t the 50s, I can be a fighter if I want to,” she argued back.
“Bullshit! You’ll just get pummeled out there and make me look like a fool.”
“How would you know? You never even bothered to train me!”
“I don’t train girls! You know that, and for good reason; I mean look at you, you spend all your time whining and being a brat, I can only imagine you in the ring with another fighter.” he demeaned.
All Claire could do was just stand there and grit her teeth at her close-minded pig of a father with squinted, green eyes full of hatred. Meanwhile, the two male cousins are placing Dominic’s belongings in his new bedroom when the elder cousin broke the silence.
“So Seth, we got a long road ahead of us, hope you’re ready for a ride.”
“Yeah.” Was all the younger cousin could respond with as he places a box down.
“Yeah? You know, you haven't said very much since I got here, something bothering you?” Dominic asked.
"Uh, no. Forgive me, I’m just a bit flustered with everything going on.” Seth looked out the window facing away from his cousin.
“Hey, it’s natural for fighters to get the jitters, but you can’t let it get to you,” he advised leaning against the wall, “Uncle Clarence told me in his emails that you’re in serious need of some motivation, I suppose I could offer some expertise.”
“Thanks, but that’s not exactly what I meant.”
“What’s stressing you out then?”
Not even looking at his cousin once, Seth paused for a minute before letting out a sigh. “It’s just… dad’s so hell-bent on making me into a fighter, he even put me to work at his gym as a janitor, so when I’m not training, I’m cleaning showers. Either way, I’m bound to that gym.”
“Sheesh, and I thought I was passionate, he got me beat,” Dominic remarked.
“Sure… so into HIS passion, I barely have any time for MINE.” Seth’s tone had a bitterness to it.
“What does that mean?” Dominic asked.
“Uh… You know what? Never mind. It’s not that important.” Seth dismissed as he ran a hand through his messy, short black hair before turning back to his cousin. “Oh, by the way, dad bought you some new hand wraps and he told me to give them to you.” He motioned to his cousin to follow him. “C’mon.”
Dominic followed his cousin into his bedroom where his workout bag was, when Seth reaches into it to pull out the wraps, a drawing tablet falls out.
“Shit…” Seth cursed under his breath.
Dominic picks it up off the floor before Seth could grab it first and starts flipping through it. Seth had drawn a bunch of comic book-style illustrations of various fictional characters.
“Uhhhh, th-th-that’s not important!” Seth stuttered trying to take the pad from Dominic.
“Oh, are these the drawings Uncle C mentioned? They’re actually pretty good,” said the older man.
“Please give that back.” Seth finally takes the pad from his cousin and quickly puts it back into his bag. “Dad’s on my ass enough as it is, I’d really rather not get into this right now.”
"Yeah, cuz keeping it secret is a better solution, huh?" Dominic asked sarcastically.
"I’ll see you at dinner okay?” Seth says with a sigh as he walks out, ignoring the rhetorical question.
Dominic suddenly hears the ear-piercing shrill of “You're such a sexist dick!!!” before hearing a loud door slam. He comes out into the hall to see his uncle angrily storming off from his daughter’s bedroom, and takes a breath before stopping short of his nephew.
“Come with me Dom, I wanna show ya something really cool,” he says as he directs his nephew to his den which has a double door.
When he opens it, Dominic sees the den as a big, exaggerated trophy room. Inside, many of Clarence’s trophies are showcased in individual glass cases on one wall with the middle wall having a large fireplace holding a flat-screen TV. And all around the fireplace are framed pictures of Clarence in his youth along with other famous fighters. And right in the middle of the hard, shiny wooden floor was a 2-seater, home theater recliner facing the TV.
“Woah.” Was all Dominic had to say as he looked around.
“Impressed beyond words?” his uncle asked, “One day, you and Seth will have a place here.” He points to the opposite wall that also had glass cases on the shelves but no trophies inside of them... Yet. Dominic takes a closer look at them and notices that the plaques below the cases already have his and Seth’s names on them. He then goes to look at some of his uncle’s framed pictures as Clarence begins to narrate to him.
“Yeah your uncle was something else at your age, I had that same drive as you. I was on a roll and didn’t wanna stop. Did you know your uncle has NEVER lost a single fight? And I went up against the best of the best: Clive 'Brick Wall' Donovan, Max 'Bigfoot' Graves, Jack 'TNT' Morris. Those guys were also legends of their own, they NEVER lost a fight… Until of course, they went up against a new legend… Clarence “Duke of Steel”!”
He laughs fawning over some of his pictures and then lets out a nostalgic sigh. “Sometimes I regret how things turned out, cuz you could bet I’d still be making history right about now.” he turned to his nephew. “Like I said, with you here, Seth could really learn a thing or two about discipline. Boy’s been slacking, more focused on his silly drawings than he should be on his form.”
“Well Claire sure seems into it, can’t you train her?” Dominic asked. However, the question was only met with big, thundering laughter.
“HAHAHA! Ah, kid, women aren’t equipped to be fighters, I mean they’re equipped to be trained just not for fighting if ya know what I mean,” he scorned, elbowing his nephew. “Besides, that girl is barely college material, ya think she could get her head out her ass long enough to dodge a single punch? Good one Dom.”
“I dunno, I’ve seen quite a few female fighters and they're not exactly “trainable” when they’re flipping guys over in a spar,” Dominic said, trying to remain light-hearted but clearly rather put off by his uncle’s ignorance.
“Aw, that’s just chivalry, Dom. no self-respecting man would ever let the woman pull the strings.” Clarence scoffs and puts a hand on Dominic’s shoulder. “Now, get some rest, my nephew. Tomorrow I’ll show you the gym,” he says, walking out of the den.
Around 11:00 PM later that night, the rest of the family has long since retired to their rooms. Dominic, still feeling active, decided to visit his uncle’s den again. While looking over some of his trophies, memories started flooding his mind:
“How many times do I have to keep bailing you out of trouble boy?”
“Mom, it’s not my fault this time-”
“Well, whose fault is it? That boy you put in a coma?”
“He had it coming to em-”
“I just don’t know what to say to you, not even in college yet, and already you've seen the clink!”
“C’mon mom, college is not that big a deal, at least you'll save more money for your medication.”
“I'm not worried about me Dominic Travion Ledger, I'm worried about you. You’ve been at this since childhood, anytime I think you're in good hands, you always find a way to stir up trouble. I might as well just let your uncle raise you 'cause I’m at my wit's end here!”
“What's wrong with Uncle Clarence? He seems nice! He said he could train me to-”
“No! Over my dead body! Listen here, you think I like being so hard on you? You and I are in some rough times, but my main concern is making sure my only son has his head on straight so he won’t get locked up or even dead before I am. I’m gonna straighten you up whether you like it or not, cuz if you don’t start manning up around here, who will? Do you understand me?”
“…Yeah mom.”
Dominic walked over to the empty shelves and stuck his focus on a specific glass case that had his name on the plaque, he saw his reflection in it, though it wasn’t staring back at him very favorably. He turns to leave the den and as he’s walking out, he notices Seth quietly leaving his bedroom fully dressed. Not noticing his cousin, Seth tiptoes over to Claire’s bedroom door, quietly knocks, and sneaks in when she opens it.
Curious, Dominic walks up to the door and puts his ear up to it but hears nothing, he tries to knock quietly but gets no reply. When he peeps in, he finds the room empty with Claire’s window fairly open. Just as he looks out of it, he faintly hears Seth exclaiming in excitement, “Alright, to Hot Buns City it is!” followed by a giddy, “Yeah!” from Claire as the two of them enter Seth’s cheap, orange, and red-striped muscle car before driving off.
The siblings headed downtown to Hot Buns City; a pretty popular, 24-hour burger joint and hang out amongst other people their age. They sat outside to eat, laughing, talking, and enjoying the fairly peaceful night with each other for once.
"So Jason NEVER noticed his pants were split?" Claire laughed.
"Nope, not helping that he didn't even bother to put on underwear that day," Seth replied, chuckling.
“So Michael's looking hotter than ever, does he ask about me?” Claire asked seductively, twiddling the straw of her milkshake.
“Shouldn’t you know? He’s giving you private kickboxing lessons.” Seth pointed out, mouth full of burger.
“Well he WAS.” she corrected with annoyance in her voice, “And it’s getting harder to do that thanks to dad. I was BARELY even able to get 20 minutes of training today.”
“Yeah well, dad’s been keeping me way too busy in the ring lately. Even in my downtime, I can't so much as pick up a pencil without hearing one of his lectures, “The only form of art you should be focused on is MARTIAL arts.” he mocked his father.
“Seth, sooner or later, you have to stand up to dad,” Claire said.
He scoffs, “Like you’re any better?”
“At least I’m not the one he’s pushing super hard.” she snarked back.
Seth sighed, “I just don’t get why dad can’t drop his 1940s-era sexist attitude and just make YOU his successor.”
“Yeah… Well, the thing is… I wanna be a fighter, but I don't think I wanna be a FIGHTER fighter.” Claire said struggling a bit with her wording.
“What do you mean?”
“I feel like I could do more than just fight in cages, I wanna make a difference, like a service, you know?”
“You mean like join the army?”
“Not exactly, I’m thinking of joining the force,” she revealed.
Seth only responds with a skeptical, “Hmm, well good luck with that.”
Causing Claire to get defensive. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
“I'm just curious as to HOW you’ll even get that far with dad breathing down your neck.” Seth clarified.
“It's ok, I got it all planned out,” she reassured with a sly grin. “I figured once I save enough money, I’ll just tell dad I applied for college and they accepted me and just take it from there.”
“Uh-huh,” Seth said, still unconvinced. “Well meanwhile, I’m still waiting to hear from that publisher?”
“Wait, if you can’t find time to draw, how are you able to make full comics?” Claire questioned.
“During my night shifts, when I'm pretending to work,” Seth answered blandly.
“Oh.” Claire grunted, “You know what? I don’t wanna talk about dad anymore, let’s talk about something else.”
“Yeah, let’s talk about not inviting me to one of your secret outings.”
They turn to see Dominic standing over them with a playful smile.
“We thought you were asleep,” Claire gets up to sit with her brother to let their elder cousin sit opposite them.
“Nah, just been looking forward to spending quality time with my two little cousins.”
“How did you get here so fast?” Seth asked.
“I borrowed Uncle Clarence's Volvo,” Dominic replied nonchalantly.
“Are you crazy?” Claire gasps. “Dad's gonna flip! He won't let anyone touch his Volvo!”
“Hmph, look who’s talking, trainee.” This left her at a loss for words and a lot of blushing. “Relax, it'll be back in the garage before he knows it,” he assured.
“Not that he’d care,” Seth thought to himself.
Dominic continued. “But while we’re on the subject Claire, I’d like a follow-up on those training sessions of yours, picked out a style yet?”
“Style?” Claire asked.
“Fighting style.” Dominic specified.
“Oh, Kickboxing.”
“Level?”
“Four.”
“Ahh, impressive. Such a shame Uncle C won’t let you fight, I’m interested to see where this goes.”
“Tell me about it!” Claire exclaimed. “But if you think that’s impressive, just wait till I join the force. It’s always been a big dream of mine; but not to be just any regular cop, but one of those action movie hero-type cops, ya know?”
Dominic just nodded, playing along to his littlest cousin's wide-eyed naivety. Seth just rolled his eyes. “I think she might be taking this a little too seriously.”
“Say what you want Seth, at least she’s going for what she wants. Which reminds me, when are you gonna man up and tell Uncle C you don’t wanna be a fighter?” Dominic asked.
“You think I haven’t?” Dad’s not exactly a good listener.” Seth said.
“Yeah, he’s more of a yell-at-your-face-first, ask-questions never kinda psycho,” Claire added.
“Hey now, isn’t that a little harsh? “I know he can be strict, but I think you two should cut him a little bit of slack,” Dominic told them, “I mean I wouldn't be going anywhere right now if he didn't take me in.”
“Easy for you to say, you’re like the son he’s always wanted,” Seth lamented, “I’m just hoping with you here, he’ll pay less attention to me for once.”
“C’mon Seth, you know that won’t happen. As his real son, he’ll just keep putting this on you unless you finally put your foot down for once.”
Seth just looked down. “I dunno about that Dominic.”
“Just give him time, he’ll learn to respect your choices… eventually. But, you know, ya gotta admit little cous, martial arts could actually do you some good cuz confidence has never been your strong point.”
“Mmm-hmm.” Seth moaned dismissively.
“Right?” Claire teased, “Seth always was namby-pamby.”
“Am not...” Seth mumbled when suddenly-
“Heeeey babe.”
They’re interrupted by a trio of douchey-looking guys who all looked to be in their 20s walking up to their table (more specifically Claire’s side).
“Watcha doin hanging out with these homos?” The leader of the trio got in between the two siblings and shoved Seth out of his seat so he could sit next to Claire.
“You SHOULD be hanging with me in my Ferrari enjoying a good looong ride if ya know what I mean,” he said putting his arm around her. If the leud invitation didn’t spell “slimeball” written all over it, his hungry, grey eyes and sly smirk certainly did. This encouraged a round of cackling by his two equally slimy friends.
“What!? Eww!” Claire desperately tried to break free from his hold until Dominic threw a ketchup bottle at him and sat up from his seat to get in his face.
“Hey, dickhead, leave her alone!”
“What’d you say to me tranny!?” The punk tries to make his way over to the streaky-haired man until Seth gets in between them.
“Look man, we don’t want any trouble okay? Can’t you just go flirt with some other girl?” he suggested trying to keep the peace. The lead douche gave an over-the-shoulder glance at his goons.
“Am I mishearing things boys, or is this little runt giving ME orders?” Seth began to back away as the lead douche slowly approaches with his goons surrounding him like hyenas. “You talking to me, little boy?” he bullied the shorter, younger man with a hard shove.
“Hey, stop it, man. You’re not that cool…” Seth tried in vain to be stern, but non-violent.
The lead douche only responds with an even harder shove followed by a loud, venomous, “What? Speak up, little man!”
“Aww look, I think he’s bout to cry.” one of the goons instigated.
“Gonna cry little pussy?” Lead douche mocked, getting in his face this time. Dominic and Claire decide to offer Seth some encouragement.
“Hey Seth, are you really gonna take that?”
“Yeah, man up dammit!”
In the midst of all the pressure placed on him, Seth impulsively punches lead douche in the face which strikes a reaction from his goons as they gang up on the meek fighter.
“H-hey, get off me punks!”
“Put this little runt in his place boys!” lead douche orders his goons while holding his face in pain.
Dominic and Claire sprung up and rushed to his aid, but lead douche grabs Claire and proceeds to drag her away. “And you are coming with me, bitch.”
Without warning, Claire strikes him in the gut and body slams him. Meanwhile, Dominic starts fighting one of the goons as Seth fought the other; this turns their peaceful night into a full-on, bloody, intense brawl. Seth fought with the teachings forced on him by his father, though due to his lack of confidence and disdain for conflict, he was still clearly struggling as his opponent (who wasn’t even any taller than Seth was) takes control and knocks him to the ground.
The goon was about to pounce when Claire grabs him by his dreadlocks, slings him to the ground, holds him down, and spits right in his face. The largest goon of the group grabs Dominic and throws him onto his uncle’s Volvo, then their leader jumps on the hood up over him, but Dominic kicks him in the groin and throws him off.
The big goon rushes to punch him only for his fist to go through the window a split second after the seasoned fighter dodges in time. As the brawl went on, the severity of it became so big, that the people who were previously eating outside all scattered with some going inside the restaurant to watch the fight from there and others taking out their cellphones to record it.
Dominic noticed a bystander trying to call 911. “Shit… Hey, forget these guys! C’mon, let’s go!” he told his cousins.
They all stopped what they were doing and headed for the cars. As Claire got in the Volvo with Dominic, Seth got in his own car and tried to start it up, only to learn that his car battery died…Again. And to top it all off, lead douche shatters the driver's side window trying to pull Seth out with him. “Oh, you ain’t leaving so soon, little girl!”
Dominic sees this, gets out of the damaged Volvo, grabs him, and bashes his face into the backseat window of Seth’s Muscle car rendering him unconscious.
“C’mon, the Volvo still works!” he says as he helps Seth out of his car.
They all got in the Volvo and drove off before the cops could even arrive, but back at home, things weren't any easier. After learning that the fight was uploaded and now trending on mainstreams.com, it was even any wonder if their hearing was still intact from all the yelling Clarence was doing.
“WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU KIDS THINKING!?”
“DAD WE’RE NOT KIDS! WOULD YOU JUST LISTEN TO US FOR ONCE!?” Claire tried to out-scream her father.
“This boy just got outta jail and you almost got 'em put back in! And not only that, got my precious Volvo damaged in the process, all because you two don’t wanna follow orders!”
“Dad, did you not hear what we said!?” Seth intervenes. “Three guys picked a fight with us and one of them almost kidnapped Claire!”
“Yeah!” Claire chimed in. “And FYI, he would have if I didn’t know how to fight back. Still don’t think girls can be fighters, dad?”
“ENOUGH OF THAT!” Clarence roared, “Now none of this would’ve happened at all if you didn’t sneak out, especially you boy!” He pointed to his son, “You got training AND work, what are you thinkin goin to a burger joint?”
“C’mon, dad! I just wanted ONE night to be normal. You almost never let me go anywhere or eat what I want.”
“You’re a fighter! You’re supposed to be staying focused and watching your calories-”
“But I don’t wanna be a fighter! That’s what YOU want! I…I keep trying to tell you that.” Seth interrupted, his voice cracking at the end.
Clearance stared down at his son in disapproval before saying, “Well then, what the fuck else are you gonna do, Huh? You barely act like a man." He crosses his arms, "So maybe I should just let you make your coloring books all day, is that what ya wanna do, huh?”
"They're not coloring books! Look, comics may not be very manly to you, but it’s what I really like doing okay? I even…” When hesitation sets in, he glances at his sister and cousin with the latter motioning to him to continue. Seth turned back to his father. “I even contacted this publisher.”
“And?” His father pressed him.
“And… Well, I haven’t really heard back from them yet, but… In the meantime, I’ve even thought of applying at this comic book store-”
“No, no… Stop.” Clarence puts a hand up. "Now you listen to me boy, you are a Dukes and you have a responsibility to represent that name. And the fact that you’d much rather make childish drawings all day tells me that I'm just busting my ass trying to toughen you up for nothing. Ya know how bad that makes me look? You don’t have a clue what I go through trying to turn you into a man. You know what? I’m not even gonna get into this in front of your cousin, cuz I don’t wanna hear another word about comic books or fighting from you two entitled brats ever again.”
“But dad-”
“I MEAN IT! And while you’re at it, both of you will pay for every damage done to my Volvo. So Seth, get used to working overtime, Claire, I don’t care how the fuck you do it-”
“Actually, Uncle Clarence,” Dominic spoke up, walking over to him. “Claire and Seth had nothing to do with the Volvo, it’s my fault.”
“What?”
“I know, I know, I shouldn’t have taken it without asking and I'll pay for the damages, I promise.”
“Dominic, don’t. You ain't gotta take the fall for your cousins’ reckless actions.”
“But they really didn’t-”
“Don’t worry about them, just focus on yourself and your training and go get some rest…” Clarence reassured his nephew and turned back to his son. “And I’ll see YOU at the gym tomorrow, bright and early,” he warned while walking out of the living room.
Dom walks over to his sulking cousins. “Look, guys, I’m sorry I got you into trouble. And you don’t have to pay for the Volvo, I’ll take care of that myself.”
“Well, that’s one less thing to worry about, not that it makes it better.” Seth sighed, heading to his room. “See you tomorrow Dom.”
“Good night Dom.” Claire gets up too and hugs her big cousin before heading off to bed herself.
Dominic goes into his own room and lies on his bed contemplating what to do. Finding a job was already out of the question, It’d be difficult to land one even if it’s part-time. Not just because of his felony record, but on such short notice like this, it would also interfere with his uncle’s plans already put in place for him. After all, if he’s this strict on his own son, then Dominic could only anticipate the vigorous training he’ll endure too.
All he knew was that he needed to make some easy money fast so that his two cousins wouldn’t have to catch hell from their father over HIS actions. And after spending a little over an hour failing to find other ways around it, he reluctantly comes to the conclusion that the only way to get quick, easy money he doesn't have is by doing the only thing he knows how to do.
To Be Continued…

And boy, do I feel great!
The game may be imperfect, but it's a masterpiece.
I wound up being level 136 at the end, and it was getting a little easy, so I stopped using summons. It was honestly way more fun holding boss aggro for whole fights. (and I had picked up a good handful of those levels just for Malenia, who I beat at 127...). My one-trick strength build got pretty old, while so many boss weapons and spells looked amazing and I didn't re-spec to take them.
I want to do another play-through of the game. I'm going to run StDex/Fai, sit a little low on levels, and go no-summons.
The game is so huge and so open that I'll have no problem looking up fun items/spells in each area. I just don't have the time as a working adult to discover everything in this game on its own. It's my very unoriginal, we've-all-heard-it-a-hundred-times criticism - the "Souls-like" nature of discovering the world through items and NPC interactions doesn't really work for how big the game is. I didn't think that would be true until I was like... eighty or a hundred hours in, lol.
And you know what? It was still freaking awesome. I'm so glad I saw my friends playing it. I never would have tried a From Software game if I hadn't. I want to get a miniature of the Tree Sentinel and maybe also Morgott for my bookshelf. And I'm not even the type of guy to get miniatures.
...I do wish the ending cinema I picked was longer and explained itself in more detail...
I loved helping people kill bosses, even though I didn't accept help for bosses themselves (though a friend did escort me through an optional dungeon once). In fact, helping people kill bosses was so much fun for me that I might just wait til the DLC drops to do my next run-through of the game when everyone is on the hype train. I'll be fresh, have taken a break, and I'll have no trouble farming rune arcs after every battle before moving on.
I'm not as big on goth and horror, so I'm probably skipping on most of their titles. But you know what I just picked up? Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. I know what I'll be playing between now and the DLC :D
But Elden Ring. Just, wow. What an amazing game. What an amazing experience.
A big Thank You to everyone who worked hard at From Software, and to everyone in the community who made this so much fun for me to play. ❤️

Hi everyone, I am located in the state of New Jersey, and theLLC is in NJ as well. My business partner and I started a car repair shop together a few years back and opened an LLC with both of us as co owners. We are renting the location and all tools and supplies are bought from the business checking account. All our initial investment was split 50/50 as well as all extra costs with getting things running. Thank goodness we are profitable after a few years so now all expenses come out of the business checking and we take a weekly salary.
My business partner approached me about changing the profit split last year, from 50/50 to 60/40 on his end. I do all the admin/clerical work. Payments, calls, ordering parts, costumers, upkeep, etc. while he is a mechanic. We also have another 2 mechanics hired that we pay a weekly salary to. He insisted it was unfair of him to not get a separate salary as a mechanic including his profit split as an owner. I disagreed, as I do work on the cars in between any downtime like oil change/tires/etc.
After months of bickering and him abandoning the ship for 1.5 months he came back and agreed to keep things 50/50. (I also provided him his half for the month and a half he was gone so no shenanigans there) however since then he is consistently making “side deals” with costumers. Putting parts and fixing things for them and only telling me one or two thing a out of the many he fixes. At the end of the day when we do our accounting, he disappears for a bathroom or smoke break and comes out with a perfect accounting for the amount that he has, but by my estimations is too low.
For example someone will come in for a tire alignment, he will talk to the costumer and let them know their sway bars are damaged as well, change the sway bars, and collect payment for that in cash. The final receipt only has the alignment and he pockets the rest. Or he will run out to grab a costumer before me, agree on a price with them and at the end of the day hand over cash that is 30-40 dollars below our regular rate for a job like that.
It is obvious he is stealing something like 200+ dollars a day in cash from the business which ends up being 100 out of my pocket. In addition we are running out of our stocked items faster than usual because he will recommend these repairs or pre placements to costumers.
About 50% of our work is done in cash sales, where we pay our rent and expenses like buying engines from junkyards with that cash. The landlord and other companies we deal with don’t want to pay tax so we have to pay them in cash.
My legal question is, is there anything I can do about this situation. I have already threatened him with court to get back what he is stealing. I have the past 3 years of security footage and my books so I know a roundabout estimate of what he is pocketing. He then threatened to expose our cash dealings to the IRS in a “if I go down I’m taking you with me” situation.
I’m just tired of breaking my back for 65+ hours a week for this guy to go home with 1200+ dollars in cash that we have to pay back the parts in restocking. I’m easily losing over 1000 a week and have lost 100k+ over the last 2 years.
We have 2 years left on our lease for the shop. Is it better to just ride it out and take the loss? Or do I have recourse through small claims or another court for this. I’m surely not signing another lease with him, what can I do if he refuses to equitably split the tools and parts with me at the end? We have over 150k worth of tools and inventory in the shop. Please help me. I am nearing retirement ag and this was supposed to help me save for my last few years.
Remaining profits that are in our checking account are reinvested into the business and the odd few bucks left over at the end of a quarter are split amongst the two of us and given to the mechanics as a bonus.

Description of Original Problem: When running my two monitors via display cables and I launch a game the screen will turn black for a few seconds, mainly this happens when a display on the screen changed like going from one menu to another. This will resolve itself for a time if I power cycle monitor. This issue doesn't happen when i'm running one monitor on display cable and one on a HDMI.
Anyone faced this issue before or have an idea what it might be? Please let me know if you need more info.
Troubleshooting: I have tried updating drivers, swapping ports, swapping monitors. Have fallen back to running off HDMI cable.

TL;DR - Fuck this test.
For those of you who are interested in getting licensed in Canada, you are required to take the NDEB virtual osce exam. Today was the first time they’ve rolled out this computerized test as in the past it’s been a written exam. This was my overall experience with this exam.
Registration: the virtual osce is only offered 3x a year, in March, June and I believe November. To register, I needed to mail in (NOT electronically submit) notarized photocopies of ID and a signed form. I applied late for the exam (I think end of January) and the only locations left were Boston and Michigan.
Studying: lol
Day of the test: The exam was held in a hotel conference room. The check-in time for the exam was at 8am. I arrived around 7:50. Once we checked in and showed ID, they brought us to a room with tables and laptops set up. The exam didn’t start till 9am so we all sat there for about 45 mins doing nothing. I finished the first part with about an hour left and left the room at 11ish. They told me the 2nd part would start at 2pm. I went back to my hotel and napped an returned at 1:15 (the online schedule said the exam would be at 1:30 so I didn’t want to chance it). When I arrived they stated that the server went down and there were still people completing the first part. Eventually they were let out at 1:40 to get food but i heard many of them never got to finish their exam before it crashed on them. I think policy states that they can ask to void their scores and get a refund but it means they need to take it again. We returned at 2:40 and were told the 2nd part would be moved to paper as servers were still down and we would get a PDF of the questions on the laptops. This meant constantly clicking back and forth between clinic photos/X-rays/charts and the actual question unlike the first part where everything was seen on a single screen. Shortly after starting, a band started practicing above us and security didn’t stop them for about an hour. Earplugs did not help. I finished with about an hour left and my will to continue gone.
Question format: The NDEB is really different to the INBDE in terms of question format. Half the exam has MC questions that allow you to choose multiple options but if you get a single answer wrong then you get the whole question wrong. Basically if the question has 2 correct answers, each is worth 0.5 and any incorrect answer is worth -1 so if you chose multiple wrong answers you'd get a cumulation of negative points. They had many questions which used pictures of typodont models and cast pour-ups and asked to identify potential errors with crown preps or RPD designs. The way the photos were taken though, you could not get an accurate 3D view and it was hard to distinguish what were voids vs. nodes or how the margin looked for the crown preps. I can give more info about the content and question-style if anyone wants.
Overall a really terrible debut of this computerized test and I caution anyone wanting to take it to maybe wait a while for them to fix these issues.

The rapid clacking away on the keyboard filled the back of the van as the backlight shone on the young man’s face, his newest blog post about the ‘100 Year “Conflict”’ between the African Union and the United States of Expanded America filling the screen.
Their fierce arguments in the Neo-League of Allied Nations were the things of legend, as despite the uncompromising regulation of, ‘No Creative Abilities’, which included limiters, as they could be disguised, people swore that the Hall shook.
​
Sparing a few moments to refocus on the background radio, he shook his head at the protests and threats between New Russia and the Renewed French Republic regarding the Alliance of Free Nations.
​

​
His train of thought was rudely interrupted, but he pressed on.
​
Clickclackclickclackclickclack.
​
<Hey.>
​
Clickclackclickclackclickclackclickclackclickclackclickclack.
​

​
“What?”
​

​
“When I’m finished with this post, that’s when. And not a word less.”
​

​
Clickclackclickcla-.
​
He sighed and lifted his finger off the ‘y’ key, the trail of ‘y’s being automatically deleted by his Bio-Pal, or By, for short. Getting off his 3/4th king-sized bed as the screen and keyboard retracted into the ceiling and wall, he grabbed his beige ‘off-duty’ hat hanging next to his cameo reporting hat.
​
“Alright, By, where and for what are we going to today?”
​

​
“… Seriously. Bloomington, Indiana, for lunch or breakfast, depending on the menu; then Washington D.C for work, we have that assignment that’s due tomorrow. You know, May 21, 2020?”
​
Sliding the door open, he slid out from its hollow inside a folded red and black tri-motorcyle. As it turned on and unfolded from his hands touching the metal door handles, it revealed the floating two-seater, allowing him to enter. Grabbing the wheel while pressing two buttons, the roof covering rose and the EM Tesla Riders activated, one in the front and two in the back, gradually elevating them.
Simultaneously, Craig closed, locked, and shielded the 20-foot white van with a Spark of electricity that traveled from inside the ‘cycle and made contact with the van, another sent back as confirmation. As the GPS chose the quickest route out of New York City, he admired the skyscrapers.
​
“I still can’t get over the skyscrapers here… How ma-?”
​

​
“Yawn burgers with a side of snores, By. Just get us outta here. How long and which restaurant?”
​
<24 minutes and might I suggest Uptown Cafe?>
​
“Show me.’
​
The website was projected on the windshield in two tabs, one for the breakfast menu and the other for making reservations.
​
‘… Looks delish and easy on the budget. Reservation for 10:30, if you please, and get me the Malted Belgian Waffle with granola and hazelnut-flavored coffee.”
​
When they reached New York’s outer limits a few seconds later, By took them on a preapproved route to Kirkwood Ave., where they landed in an empty parking spot that quickly held the vehicle. Getting out, he went to the Cafe that was a minute away.
​
“Craig Williams.”
​
“Please follow me.”
​
Taking him to a table to the right of the bar, another waiter quickly came and gave him water, coffee, and milk. As she left, he glanced at the gold-covered bar dividing the room while sipping at the now-prepared coffee, grinning at the strange way his slightly tanned face was warped.
​

​
“Will ya lay off it, please? As I’ll remind you, it’s only because my mom’s ancestors escaped to America from those A.U jerks just 'cause they weren’t from the same tribe, while my dad was almost electrocuted, burned out, and genocided by the Nazis! Anyway, who are we meeting in Washington?”
​

​
“Right, right… Can’t believe I was one of the few that discovered who they really are… Remind me how I found and was able to remember them, again?”
​

​
“Only after an incessant mind- and body-draining interrogation that lasted for almost half an hour after I finished. I’m still surprised that they keep me in the loop about what they-, alright, alright, she keeps me in the loop. Anyway…”
​
His breakfast came with some coffee and after a few words of thanks, he began eating as By went through the facts of one J. Trakler.
​
Got into science in an R.F.R Elementary school after Io’s Rylu University said they were closer than ever to discovering the secret to F.T.L travel. In a specialized Middle School, he helped the Ney Collective on Neptune forcefully increase their crops growth and hardiness, while also kick-starting the research into the Saturnians’ recently implemented standard insertion process through the Saturnian Watch Program.
Coincidentally, he also started a life-long friendship with their CEO, who’s now the current Head of National Security in New Russia and the first Altered in a high position of power there. Craig, slow down.
In an elite High School in New Russia, he went to Neo France on Uranus on a student-swap with the now-Prime Minister of France, where they also struck up a life-long friendship during the ‘Port lay-over and the back-and-forth vi-com.
He’s now the Elite Omni-Scientist of the Middle East Scientific Alliance, or MESA for short. Williams? Please.
Their goal is-. LISTEN UP, YOU GLUTTONOUS HUMAN!!>
​
“GRR! By, this is one of the most delicious pancakes I’ve ever eaten, let me enjoy it! Anyway, this guy is the E.O.S of the MESA, and you were about to tell me their goal.”
​
<… So you were listening. You’ve gotten better at that. Anyway, their stated goal has been to help Rylu University with their goal of F.T.L travel, using Einstein’s, Tesla’s, and -ugh- Edison ‘The Amature’s, notes and prototypes.>
​
“What’s the trio’s history, again? Never mind, don’t tell me. So, how did this MESA come to pass, again? It was because of World War 2 and the Neo-Battlefield, right?”
​

​
“Isn’t that because everyone else is more focused on space and the so-called ‘bigger picture’?”
​
What MESA is also doing is giving the A.F.N resources to prevent an invasion from either France or New Russia, which certain parties from both sides are attempting to drum up.>
​
“Hmm… So, we have the Alliance of Free Nations and MESA on the one hand, the USEA and the AU on the other, and the Reformed French Republic and New Russia in the middle of all this, with one guy linking almost all of them together… Does this sound familiar to you?”
​

​
“It’s just a thought, By. Just a thought. Brunch is over; find me the fastest way to Capital Hill.”
​

​
Leaving a 45 Bolt tip then Sparking his payment at the front desk, he went back to his Tri while trying to not facepalm at the snarking Bio-Pal. Getting in while turning it on, he was quickly on his way.
As they landed in front of the Capital building, the man of the hour was briskly stepping down the steps, his Altered bodyguards bio-electrically holding everyone back and keeping a close, slitted eye on Craig as he dismounted the ‘cycle and made his way up the stairs.
​
“Mr. Trackler? Mr. Wi-.”
​
“Williams, ‘The Revealer’. Too many people here, so let me treat you to a drink.”
​
He stepped to the train track that ran in the middle of the street as a six-person pod was Sparked to his location, his bodyguards escorting Graig inside of it after quickly and almost unnoticeably searching him.
​
Before they knew it, they were seated in, The Electric Watering Hole, a bar just outside the city. Taking a sip of their drinks, they got comfortable.
​
“So, what does your current client, “The Scourge of Washington”, want with me now? The conspiracy theory about how I’m, ‘the Antichrist’, of Christian fame? Because, just to be clear, I’m not Jewish, European, or even Middle Eastern in any way, shape, or form.”
​
“No, no, sir. Although you are part French on your father’s side.”
​
“Which isn’t European.”
​
“… Right. Sir, I’m here to ask you about, ‘The Phoen-’.”
​
“Ah, yes, ‘T.P.P’. Don’t ask me about the acronym, wasn’t my idea. What do you want to know about it? Why we haven’t cracked Faster Than Light travel yet, or how I got things closer than ever with-?”
​
“Forgive me for interrupting, Sir, but what I was wondering was why focus on F.T.L, to begin with? With the upgraded GPS targeting program by Tesla Corp, everything, including organs, can be delivered practically into people’s and doctor’s hands.
Which reminds me that this is the hundred-and-twentieth year since the second anniversary of, ‘The Upheaval Years’, when the energy, vehicle, and medicinal industries disappeared, grocery stores vanished, and dozens of other fields went extinct with the inventions and discovery of Bio-Pal, E.T.F, and the Earth’s A.E.F, respectively. Thoughts?”
​
“To the idiots who are still trying to get, “Emotional Damage Money”: Why don’t you go back in time to stop mining and oil companies, teleportation operators, and maybe even timekeeping and metallic wire companies from-?!”
​
“Sir?”
​
“Forgive me, I get… passionate.
Anyway, I’m sure you’ve heard of the accidents on the gas planets where people had to be euthanized after the teleportation negatively reacted with their atmospheres and how I solved the situation. Don’t worry, I won’t go into the science.”
​
“Thank you. So, you’re trying to solve F.T.L because of health and technological considerations, right?”
​
“Right. There’s also the possibility of someone discovering another element that might have negative reactions to our electricity, and thus it would be safer and easier to use faster than light travel.”
​
“True, true. Where did-?”
​
Trackler’s By alerted him to an upcoming meeting, after which he shook William’s hand, paid for the barely drunk drinks and untouched appetizers with a Spark, and left. Taking the food and his drink, Craig went outside as the pod was turning to it’s left, further away from the city. Hailing another pod, he goes back to his cycle, gets in, and flies home.
​
Putting away the food and drink, he lays on his bed and starts typing the report for the, ‘Magnetic Broom’, getting to the point where he seamlessly transitioned into a review for the restaurant when they entered, then seamlessly transitioned back out when they were seated. He first sent the review to local and nation-wide Edisons, waited till he got paid, deleted the review, then sent the article to the ‘M.B’.
​
Going to the half-sized fridge in the middle of the van, he retrieved his drink and sipped it while leaning on the van door.
​
“How does 384 Bolts for a restaurant review a week sound?”
​

​
While he puts away his drink, “Isn’t that where-? Trackler’s being attacked. Safely ‘Port me there, By.”
​
<One time. You accidentally do it one time…>
​
He shows up behind cover, rather dizzy, as three guys and a lady are attempting to overload Trackler’s Bio-Energy, his bodyguards and the rest of the people in the conference room serving as unwilling Amplifiers.
​

​
“I’ll-ugh- f-f-figure it o-hurk, gulp!- out as I go! Isn’t t-that-urk!- how t-the bra-uuhhh- b-b-brain works best under-?!”
​
At that instant, a sense of clarity came over him, allowing him to roll away from the copper planters and deliver a powerful shock to the nigh-attacking person through their ankle, leaving behind a black hand print and one very dead woman.
​

​
Dodging more electric blows from the mysterious group’s lookout, he diverted the worse of the current and absorbed the rest while blocking and dodging, building up a brutal counterattack. When they unwittingly attracted a floating lightbulb to their right hand, Graig quickly unleashed the counterattack directly at it, exploding and melting it while leaving a lightning pattern on their scorched arm.
This also lead to a boost in the group’s attack, temporarily overloading and blinding them, both of which their Bys’ tried to circumvent and suppress. At that exact moment, the police arrived and took them down simultaneously.
​

​
A single nod, and he was gone, leaving no trace of his existence except a puzzled Trackler.
​
Back in the front of the van, he was kneeling over the toilet, vomiting while his Bio-Electricity was out of control, sending bolts all over the place. After he finished, he weakly crawled to his bed and partially got in.
​
“Ugh, that’s… No… Even worse.”
​

​
“T-thanks…”
​
He was out like a light.

I was extremely stressed for years in college until I graduated and sadly after graduation I became burned out because of the constant stress and anxiety and became depressed and started avoiding all my friends and literally was rarely getting outside home and that's when I went to a psychiatrist and started treatment and u have been put on different SSRIS/SNRIS and u was so happy cause in short term I started to feel so good and energetic but as time passed by I started to feel apathetic , tired and had extreme fatigue and ofcourse my psychiatrist changed doses and changed medications and that actually was very exhausting . Eventually I stated to getmore depressed and my self esteem became so low until I lost my passion completely and I have anhedonja and I literally don't feel like doing anything in my day

On bad days I just pray I don’t wake up. Only to wake up the next day to face the same problem…I hate myself. I hate the way I look. I hate how I don’t have a single true friend. I hate how I have no family to miss me if I was gone. I hate my personality. I hate the way my eyes look. I hate my teeth. The only thing that I actually like about myself is that i’m a fighter, but I wont get into that. I love music but can’t sing. I love cars but can’t legally drive. I love food but it’s expensive and makes me fat. I love people but can’t get close to anyone. I love a lot of things but hate myself because I can’t enjoy them. I wish I could go back in time and save my mom. She is the only person that ever loved me unconditionally. I took her life for granted. I wish people liked me. I wish I didn’t find a reason to hate every single person I meet. I wish I knew if my dad was alive or not and if he Is proud of me for being a marine, but then again, I’m getting kicked out so it doesn’t matter. The only thing that keeps me from suicide is the fact that nobody knows what happens after death, People have beliefs but nobody truly knows. I’m not good at anything. I’m a loser. I can’t do anything special. I’m homeless, a drifter that nobody cares about. I don’t see myself becoming successful. I can barely afford a car, even if i get one…I have over $1000 of fines to pay before it’s legal for me to drive it. I can’t afford to buy gas or food or even hygiene products or anything to make me happy. Just a car. A cheap one at that. Suicide is not selfish. I didn’t ask to be here. Every single time I love something, I find a way to lose it. I’ve lost myself. I try to help people who think like me but no one ever helps me. I don’t ask for help though, I just make jokes about it to cope with the fact that I want to die. I would do it in a clean way, I wouldn’t want anyone to have to clean up my blood or anything. I would do it is by sitting in an enclosed area with my car running, I’ll fall asleep, die of carbon monoxide poisoning and finally have my wish come true, to die because on bad days… I just pray I don’t wake up.

So, I'm an extremely new player to this game. I picked it up today on a whim after not having seen it for a long time and after about 4-5 in hours ended up in a very strange area. I had no way of going back, so I started looking things up because I thought I soft locked the game. Apparently I brute forced my way to the final area and have no way to beat the game now, because I haven't unlocked higher symbols yet To top it off, I have no clue how to get back through the preceding zone because I was blinding running through in the dark. Does anyone have any advice beyond starting over?

I know this has been asked many times over in the past; I'd like to know what you've dived into.
In my case, I developed an interest in anything aerospace since I was 5. Which eventually became a headlong dive into it once I was in middle school. I'd see certain things and it's captivate my interest. Such as a phenomenon like wing condensation or other aerodynamic phenomenon's. Like transonic shockwaves forming over the wing of an airliner at cruising altitude. The more awe I'd see, the more I'd seek more of it. I was obsessed with the complex to the degree I'd cultivate a mind to imagine circumstances. The longer I thought, researched and witnessed, the more what I could picture in my mind was realistic. Getting better with time essentially. Problem was mechanically I wasn't naïve; socially speaking I was a complete fool.
This mental fixation was a kind of deviated attention. Because I was socially insecure as should be obvious. If I was socially assimilated, I'd probably have never have developed this type of mind. I'd loosely refer to it as a photographic memory. It was more so like a CGI within my head. Emotionally this served as a stimulating behavior, something I could do when I was feeling low. Because work life in America is rather harsh, I'd always search for jobs around it. They'd sort of balance out the social drama with something I appreciated. Problem was, this mental fixation and obsession only served to make me more peculiar. Which translates to being socially unacceptable. It was a detrimental feed back loop in a sense. One thing is for certain, aerospace is a very ego oriented environment and I'd had no ties or connections to it.
It's like my interest, which started young, became a blind aim in hopes of becoming something overtime. Mainly to break free of the rather problematic environment I was born into. Because of my social insecurity, which also translates to a lack of assertiveness and poor communication, I was always walked on. I survived it. 3 years after I gave up hope in aerospace which had me in a very deep pit of despair. It was then and only then I became social. I mean going from work to home with nothing between to suddenly being around many people. Getting a motorcycle and meshing in as well as I could. Eventually it led to a personal breakthrough, I had my first kiss at 27. Slowly as I became social and bridged gaps between reality and my insecurities. Those insecurity and conclusive self-beliefs I'd had in the past caused my emotions to be rather unstable. Which didn't work well with the competitive environment of aerospace. But once I disproved my thoughts that I couldn't be social, I realized why my past was so destructive.
It was like finally taking control of my soul in a sense, my emotions and self were no longer projected onto things, nor were my aims in life. Problem was people got use to my mask/façade, and once I realized it was all nonsense, I became unapologetically prideful and happy. Till that eventually led to the loss of my freshly found social life; people liked my shy naïve self more than the person I became when I didn't care what they thought. There's a lot more detail to that story, which my mind replays daily. The curse of it was, my emotional interests were in aerospace's complexity, once social I was able to numb it and immerse myself into a social group which essentially hypnotized me. Once that broke my emotional desire was in understanding psychology. Which, in the digital age is both complex but frighteningly simple. Because I realized I escaped with what I use to see as a curse but eventually became a blessing. My incessant desire to learn complex things then turned towards human social behavior and dynamics. Because it was quite interesting to think my prior pain and suffering was one of the many keys that allowed me to be social. Not to forget I became social in a town rather than a city; very different perceptually speaking.
If I had learned anything, be careful how you use the word Asperger's or ASD to describe yourself. Looking back I see it as nothing more than a parasite to my unconscious. I say unconscious because it started before I could develop a proper state of self-awareness; which could only happen the moment I became social. I was placed in special education classes from kindergarten to 11th grade which was a kind of involuntary social estrangement/arrested development. Which is why being social for the first time was like finally finding my missing piece. I suppose I knew this consciously to a degree but it placed me on the lower strata of school hierarchies, to which my mind grew the obsession with aerospace even further. Essentially exacerbating the issues I'd had, not treating it. Then to only have a word to ascribe all my mental confusions which very few had any insight into; least of all therapists. Aerospace acted like a personal shield given it pretty much became an externalization of myself. Once social it was like I was finally a character in a show, till I eventually became their villain.
The only thing that really united me to them that year was my hidden pain but also, my confusion. I adapted to hiding it while expressing honest happiness while social. They did the same but; they didn't have the 27 years of isolation to hide or pretend didn't exist. They had other things to hide which I discovered the moment social judgment and ridicule was seen through the lens of self-projection. Also why it was easier to call me the villain given I don't forgive so easily. Luckily over the years I'd cultivated a habit of writing and critical thinking. It dawned on me; emotions are a sign of corrupted psychological, well, logic. Like the emotion I felt when people prodded my interest in aviation of which I was doing everything to run from. An unintentional linguistic bullet became felt; revealing to me now my emotional fixation of aerospace was narcissistic in nature.

Last night I was attacked by a neighbors dog. I've never had this happen to me and I've always trusted dogs. Unfortuantly this incident left a bad taste in my mouth.
I'm a 30yr old male. The attacker was a Belgian Shepperd
I live in a gated condo community where the front doors are on the outside of the perimiter and the garage is on the inside. I had gotten dropped off outside so I walked in the complex and towards my garage. While passing all the other garages I noticed one was half way open. I kept walking as I always do and as I walked in front I heard a dog barking at me. Keep in mind it's very dark outside so vision is limited. Next thing I hear are sound of nails on concrete sprinting at me. I slowed down to try and be friendly to the dog but it was running full speed and lunged at me. It took a nice bite out of my right butt cheek and sweater. I manged to jump over a hedge and then on top of a car to escape further injuries. I saw the dog run back in to the garage so I sprinted over to mine and got away. From the moment I heard the nails on concreate to myself getting bit was maybe 1-2 seconds. It all happend so fast.
I was worried about the safety for others so I went back into my garage to see if their garage was still open. It was and as I was standing there I saw the dog do the same exact thing to either someone else or possibly another animal. Wasn't quite sure because there was cars blocking my view. The dog went to return to it's garage but instead started pacing in front of it. The dog spotted me leaning out of my garage and sprinted towards me I'm assuming to attack again. I went back into my house to avoid another injury.
I had enough and went out the front door to the homeowners front door. I knocked on the door rang the doorbells and no one answered. I called the police to come take care of the situation because my complex was not safe with this dog running around. After the call with the police I went back and knocked on the doorr some more. Finally someone answered and it was a 14 year old boy. I told him what had happened and expressed how I felt. He was sorry and went into the grage to close the door. He came back and explained to me that everything is okay and the door is closed. I told him I need to speak to an adult because this is not okay. He told me his father was not able to come downstairs so he called him ( which I thought was weird .) The father was not speaking english so it was a dead end at that point. I went back to my house and waited for the police. When they arrived they went to the house and they would not answer the door. They called the individual and they hung up on the police as well.
In the end I spoke with the police about the situation because they were already there. Since a bite happend during the attack the humane society was called and they took over from there. I have to send photos of the bit to them and a few other things.
I've never been one to reach for a lawsuite but as I mentioned earlier this incident left a bad taste in my mouth. I am actually scared to walk around outside now because I fear another dog is going to blindside me. It sickens me that that dog is still in the community and this can happen to anyone else. I have video footage with audio of the incident as well that I obtained from another neighbor. If I go forward with this do I contact a dog bite lawyer or personal injury lawyer?
Any help on how to approach this would be helpful since this is my first time being in this situation.
​
Also would like to add the family has came over to my house with gifts and excuses for the situation. Claiming someone must've opened their garage and what not. I din't talk much I just let them talk

John Wick, AKA Baba Yaga or The Boogeyman, is a man who is not to be trifled with under any circumstances, yet criminals can never seem to learn their lesson. This incredibly popular series began with John (Keanu Reeves) seeking revenge on the men that invaded his home, stole his car, and worst of all, killed his puppy, Daisy. From here, endless complications have prevented John from returning to retirement as he has traveled around the world and gone on the run. Now, in John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023), we’ll get to witness the titular hitman’s greatest challenge yet as he seeks revenge on the High Table. A council of highly respected (and feared) crime lords, they run the criminal underworld’s most powerful and notorious organizations; so needless to say, John has a punishing task ahead of him.
Chad Stahelski’s sequels impressively outdoes the critical success of its predecessors, with John Wick: Chapter 4’s positive reviews being the best of the franchise.

Where Can You Watch John Wick: Chapter 4 Online Streaming? John Wick 4 has been no official announcement regarding John Wick: Chapter 4’s streaming release. However, given it’s a Lionsgate film, John Wick: Chapter 4 will eventually be released on Starz, the Roku Channel, and Peacock rather than Netflix, HBO Max, or Disney+.
Lions Gate Entertainment has signed multiple streaming deals over the past couple of years that see the company’s movies stream first on Starz, then the Roku Channel, then Peacock. Given this multi-tiered approach, we can’t provide a solid estimate on when you can expect John Wick: Chapter 4 to hit streaming services. We’ll update this article with the latest information as it becomes available.
Will John Wick: Chapter 4 Be on Hbo Max? No, John Wick: Chapter 4 will not be on HBO Max since it’s not a Warner Bro’s movie. Last year, the company released its films in theaters and on the streamer on the same days. However, they now allow a 45-days window between the theatrical release and the online release.
Will John Wick: Chapter 4 Be on Netflix? While John Wick: Chapter 4 could potentially come on Netflix in the future, there has been no announcement about any plans for it to join the streaming giant following its theatrical run. In the meantime, you’ll just have to head out to a movies theater or wait for it to become available on OTT platforms.
Is John Wick 4 Available on Hulu? Viewer’s are saying that they want to view Lionsgate film new movie John Wick 4 on Hulu. Unfortunately, this is not possible since Hulu currently does not offer any of the free episodes of this series streaming at this time. It will be exclusive to the MTV channel, which you get by subscribing to cable or satellite TV services. You will not be able to watch it on Hulu or any other free streaming service.
Is John Wick 4 on Crunchyroll? Crunchyroll, along with Funimation, has acquired the rights to the film and will be responsible for its distribution in North America.Therefore, we recommend our readers to look for the movie on the streamer in the coming months. subscribers can also watch dark fantasy shows like ‘Jujutsu Kaisen.’
Is John Wick 4 streaming on Prime Video? Prime video subscribers might be disappointed because ‘John Wick 4’ is not a part of the streaming giant’s library. Alternatively, you have the option to turn to similar films using your subscription, including ‘Smile,’ ‘Bram Stoker’s Dracula,’ ‘Let the Right One In.’
The bad news is that the movie is not likely to come to Prime Video. Paramount Pictures movies used to head to Amazon Prime Video about a year after the theatrical release, but that’s changed with a lot of movies recently. Instead of heading to Prime Video, they’ve gone to Paramount+.
Is John Wick: Chapter 4 on Funimation? Crunchyroll, its official website may include the movie in its catalog in the near future. Meanwhile, people who wish to watch something similar can stream ‘Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train.’
Is John Wick 4 Available Streaming on Peacock? Not Now, Lions Gate Entertainment struck a massive distribution deal with Peacock that gives the streaming service exclusive rights to its films’ “Pay 2” streaming window (via THR). The agreement means that after Lionsgate’s films have their initial streaming releases on Starz, the movies, like John Wick: Chapter 4, will later be available to stream on Peacock. Since Lionsgate hasn’t even confirmed the official streaming release date for the John Wick sequel on Starz, don’t expect to see the movie land on Peacock tv until at least winter 2024 after the deal officially kicks in.
Pay 1 windows typically last between a year to 18 months, meaning that if John Wick: Chapter 4 begins streaming on Starz in Sep 2023, it isn’t likely to join Peacock’s movie library until September 2024 at the earliest. Peacock and Lionsgate’s deal confirmed that releases like John Wick: Chapter 4 would start streaming on the service in 2024, so the latest movie will most likely be on Peacock in fall 2024. By this time, John Wick: Chapter 4 will be available alongside the entire John Wick franchise for streaming on OTT platform.
When Will John Wick 4 Be on Streaming Anywhere? While a digital release date for John Wick: Chapter 4 has not yet been announced, we can make an educated guess based on a previously released Lionsgate movie.
Top gun 2, which premiered on Jan. 13, came to digital platforms on Feb. 3 — about three weeks after it was released in theaters. If John Wick: Chapter’s 4 follows the same trajectory, we could be watching it from the comfort of our living rooms by late April or early May.

A vulgar pleasure of the “John Wick” series is that it aestheticizes violence without the usual blah-blah rationales and appeals to conscience. At once basic and off-the-charts nuts, each movie — the fourth opens this week — centers on a laconic assassin with a hazy back story and extraordinary skills. A virtuoso of death, Wick (Keanu Reeves) has his reasons, or so the series insists, but he kills because it is what he does. It’s his thing. “Deserves got nothing to do with it,” as Clint Eastwood says in “Unforgiven.”
Eastwood is in the DNA of the “Wick” series — and in the way Reeves deliberately draws out the word yeah — and so too are Jean-Pierre Melville, Jackie Chan, Buster Keaton, John Woo, Fred Astaire, “Point Blank,” the Three Stooges and “Get Carter.” That said, the overall story is stripped down to the point of minimalism, especially when compared to the average superhero bloat-a-thon. In the first Wick movie, the assassin resumes his bloody ways after gangsters kill his puppy — a gift from his dead wife — and steal his car. Before long, he has antagonized his former employers, a villainous syndicate called the High Table.
Despite its seemingly Hobbesian aspect, Wick World does have rules, and by the second movie, the character is declared “excommunicado,” a word that underscores the High Table’s profile as a shadowy, quasi-religious elite manifestation of absolute power. The conceit of an all-knowing, all-seeing group of underworld puppet-masters is primo movieland conspiracy-theory and very of the moment; it’s silly, nebulously political, and it gives viewers wide latitude to interpret the movie however they prefer — or they can just groove on the plush trappings, exotic locations, exploding heads and bodies in glorious motion.
Continue reading the main story The series’s director, Chad Stahelski, is a stunt veteran (he’s doubled for Reeves), so he understandably likes to show off bodies as they move — pivot, soar and fall — in space. He uses plenty of close-ups and medium shots, but he also likes to pull back for full-figure framing à la Astaire. This allows you to see and luxuriate in the performers’ physicality, in their grace and steely power, as well as to appreciate the geometry and precision of the fight choreography. This focus underscores the frailty and impermanence of these bodies, their humanness, especially Wick’s as this seemingly invincible man is repeatedly brutalized.
Written by Shay Hatten and Michael Finch, “John Wick: Chapter 4” pretty much plays out like the previous movies, though at a generally fast-moving 169 minutes it’s longer. Even so, it rarely drags because there’s relatively little dialogue and down time. For the most part, Wick chases or is chased by other assassins, shooting and stabbing, grappling and grunting in a series of visually distinct, meticulously staged and filmed set pieces. Every so often, he confers with old comrades, notably the sonorous, bassy trio of Ian McShane, Laurence Fishburne and Lance Reddick (who recently died), performers who add luster and history to the series with their singular faces, hard-boiled résumés and perfectly tuned arch deliveries.
There are new faces, among them cautious friendlies (Hiroyuki Sanada, Rina Sawayama), sympathetic combatants (Donnie Yen, Shamier Anderson) and another filthy-rich villain (Bill Skarsgard), a Euro-trashy baddie with bespoke glittery suits and a taste for torture and classical music. The series has expanded its New York-centric geographical coordinates, and while it jumps to the Middle East, Japan and Europe, it continues to stick close to its circumscribed template. So, the High Table’s tattooed minions in pencil skirts are back. There’s yet another dog and another elaborate sequence at a crowded dance club (the streets are empty by comparison) but, crucially, still no sign of the modern surveillance state.
The constraints of Wick World put it safely on the side of full-blown fantasy, giving the series the feel of a grim fairy tale. It might seem like a distorted mirror of our world, but what’s notable are all the ways it’s different from ours — not just in its depiction of power but also of violence, which, for all the arterial spray, is as untethered from reality as it is in zombie flicks. When Wick faces off against challengers at the Arc de Triomphe in “Chapter 4,” there are no gendarmes, no blaring sirens or screaming bystanders to interrupt the kinetic flow. There is simply and once again Reeves, the axis who centers this franchise with his grave sincerity, beatific glow and mesmerizing, rooted fighting style, with its heavy-footed solidity and surprising suppleness. No matter what happens, nothing ever feels as poignantly at stake here as Reeves’s own ravaged, beautiful, aging body.
Continue reading the main story There are offscreen stakes, of course, starting at the box office, but central to this series’ appeal is how it reminds you of the real world — through the years between sequels and Reeves’s gray hairs — even as it remains insistently apart from reality’s messiness, its confusions, existential terrors, corporate overlords and unspeakable ordinary brutality. Life for many in Wick World is, to borrow Hobbes’s formulation, “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short,” but it’s also sentimental and filled with friendships or at least alliances. It’s also reassuringly ordered, never more so than in its violence, which in Wick World is pure, eye-popping, body-shaking, transporting entertainment, something that (to borrow from another philosopher) has a good beat and you can dance to.
John Wick is back — for the fourth time — and heading toward a franchise record opening with “John Wick: Chapter 4,” the latest installment in the gun-slinging, knife-throwing action franchise. Lionsgate’s fourth entry opened with $8.9 million in previews at the domestic box office.
“John Wick: Chapter 4” is on track to surpass the third movie’s record-setting opening weekend with an expected bow between $65 million and $70 million. Impressively, each of the films has substantially increased its opening weekend release after release. The original “John Wick” opened with $14 million in 2014, followed by 2017’s “John Wick: Chapter 2” ($30.4 million) and 2019’s “John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum” ($56.8 million). The Thursday preview hauls have similarly grown over the years; “John Wick” had $950,000 in domestic previews; “John Wick 2” had $2.2 million add “John Wick 3” had $5.9 million.
The fourth installment boasts the largest price tag, costing more than $100 million to produce, but it should finish with the highest total of the series. “John Wick 3” ended its run with $328.3 million globally, followed by “John Wick 2” with $174.3 million and the original with $86.1 million. As the only new major release this weekend, “John Wick 4” should have no trouble beating last week’s box office champ, “Shazam: Fury of the Gods.”
In the latest movie, Keanu Reeves’ master assassin returns to take down the evil High Table crime syndicate for good, and he must face the Marquis Vincent de Gramont, played by Bill Skarsgard, to win his freedom. Along the way, Wick also fights the blind swordsman Caine (Donnie Yen) and the mysterious tracker Mr. Nobody (Shamier Anderson), who shares Wick’s love for dogs. Rina Sawayama and Hiroyuki Sanada also join the “John Wick” universe alongside returning stars Ian McShane, Laurence Fishburne and Lance Reddick, who tragically died last week at the age of 60.
Director Chad Stahelski and Reeves paid tribute to Reddick ahead of the movie’s premiere.
“Lance is a people person, a special artist, a gentleman of grace and dignity,” Reeves said at the Los Angeles premiere. “It’s just really something special, every time he stepped on set, to watch the passion he had for his work. It’s really easy to work with him.”
“I had Lance in my life almost 10 years,” Stahelski said. “Although that was done over the course of four films, we’ve worked together on other things. I just got to be happy and be proud of the fact that I got to spend so much time with him. We’re going to miss him.”
John Wick 4 has done a lot of killing. Consider this: Everything we’ve seen across the now four films has been post-retirement John Wick 4! It’s scary to think about what went down during his “active” days. I’m remembering his violent past today because—spoiler! seriously, we keep warning you!!—one of our favorite killers has left us. The latest entry, John Wick 4: Chapter 4, has finally done the impossible. John Wick 4 is dead.
Killed in his fight with Caine (Donnie Yen) and Marquis Vincent de Gramont (Bill Skarsgård) at the end of John Wick 4: Chapter 4, Wick leaves knowing that all his vengeance has finally been achieved. Sure, they can always bring Johnny Wick back for another seven movies should Keanu Reeves and director Chad Stalheski decide to continue. (They’ll figure it out.) But, for now at least, Wick is gone. “We’re going to give John Wick 4 a rest,” Stahelski told The Hollywood Reporter. “Keanu and I will take the long trip to Tokyo, we’ll sit in the Imperial Hotel Scotch Bar and go, ‘What do you think?’ We’ll have a couple 20-year-old whiskies and write some ideas on napkins. If those ideas stick, maybe we’ll make a movie.”
Meanwhile, we’re now on the precipice of the John Wick 4 extended universe. Ballerina, a spinoff film featuring Ana de Armas, is already in production. (Reaves will also have a cameo in the film, likely placing the plot further in the past.) There’s also the rumored The Continental television series for Amazon Prime Video. And now, Chapter 4’s post-credits scene hints at another avenue. The clip ends with Rina Sawayama’s new character, Akira, seeking revenge against Donnie Yen’s Caine for murdering her father (Hiroyuki Sanada). “Her story is John Wick 4’s story, in a lot of ways,” co-writer Michael Finch said in an interview with Polygon. Sounds like we may as well get our hopes up.
No spoilers here, but you may want to hang around after the credits run for “John Wick: Chapter 4.”
That’s because there’s a post credit scene that will have plenty of people talking.
Keanu Reeves reprises his role in the famous franchise about a hitman who is forced out of retirement when all he really wants is peace, and at almost 2 hours and 49 minutes, this latest film is the longest yet.
Yet, after the credits roll, there is a scene which flows nicely with the themes the films have come to be known and loved for over the years.
Again, no spoilers, but it ties some things together.
Shay Hatten, one of the films co-writers, talked to Polygon about the new movie and said it’s not hard to see “why we empathize with John so much.”
“No matter how many people he kills, you recognize, well, he didn’t really have a choice,” Hatten said. “He fell into this life, and now he’s just trying to get out and honor the memory of his wife. But it’s a really challenging thing to do.”

Watch Now: John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023) Online Free

Over the course of 3 moviess so far, we’ve seen the consequences of what can happen when one of the world’s greatest hitmen comes out of retirement. John Wick, AKA Baba Yaga or The Boogeyman, is a man who is not to be trifled with under any circumstances, yet criminals can never seem to learn their lesson. This incredibly popular series began with John (Keanu Reeves) seeking revenge on the men that invaded his home, stole his car, and worst of all, killed his puppy, Daisy. From here, endless complications have prevented John from returning to retirement as he has traveled around the world and gone on the run. Now, in John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023), we’ll get to witness the titular hitman’s greatest challenge yet as he seeks revenge on the High Table. A council of highly respected (and feared) crime lords, they run the criminal underworld’s most powerful and notorious organizations; so needless to say, John has a punishing task ahead of him.
Chad Stahelski’s sequels impressively outdoes the critical success of its predecessors, with John Wick: Chapter 4’s positive reviews being the best of the franchise. The movie already holds a Certified Fresh 93% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, which is higher than the two sequels’ 89% scores and the original’s 89% rating. John Wick: Chapter 4 is also expected to be the franchise’s biggest box office success yet, meaning it’s apt to enjoy a long exclusive theatrical window before releasing on streaming.

Where Can You Watch John Wick: Chapter 4 Online Streaming? John Wick 4 has been no official announcement regarding John Wick: Chapter 4’s streaming release. However, given it’s a Lionsgate film, John Wick: Chapter 4 will eventually be released on Starz, the Roku Channel, and Peacock rather than Netflix, HBO Max, or Disney+.
Lions Gate Entertainment has signed multiple streaming deals over the past couple of years that see the company’s movies stream first on Starz, then the Roku Channel, then Peacock. Given this multi-tiered approach, we can’t provide a solid estimate on when you can expect John Wick: Chapter 4 to hit streaming services. We’ll update this article with the latest information as it becomes available.
Will John Wick: Chapter 4 Be on Hbo Max? No, John Wick: Chapter 4 will not be on HBO Max since it’s not a Warner Bro’s movie. Last year, the company released its films in theaters and on the streamer on the same days. However, they now allow a 45-days window between the theatrical release and the online release.
Will John Wick: Chapter 4 Be on Netflix? While John Wick: Chapter 4 could potentially come on Netflix in the future, there has been no announcement about any plans for it to join the streaming giant following its theatrical run. In the meantime, you’ll just have to head out to a movies theater or wait for it to become available on OTT platforms.
Is John Wick 4 Available on Hulu? Viewer’s are saying that they want to view Lionsgate film new movie John Wick 4 on Hulu. Unfortunately, this is not possible since Hulu currently does not offer any of the free episodes of this series streaming at this time. It will be exclusive to the MTV channel, which you get by subscribing to cable or satellite TV services. You will not be able to watch it on Hulu or any other free streaming service.
Is John Wick 4 on Crunchyroll? Crunchyroll, along with Funimation, has acquired the rights to the film and will be responsible for its distribution in North America.Therefore, we recommend our readers to look for the movie on the streamer in the coming months. subscribers can also watch dark fantasy shows like ‘Jujutsu Kaisen.’
Is John Wick 4 streaming on Prime Video? Prime video subscribers might be disappointed because ‘John Wick 4’ is not a part of the streaming giant’s library. Alternatively, you have the option to turn to similar films using your subscription, including ‘Smile,’ ‘Bram Stoker’s Dracula,’ ‘Let the Right One In.’
The bad news is that the movie is not likely to come to Prime Video. Paramount Pictures movies used to head to Amazon Prime Video about a year after the theatrical release, but that’s changed with a lot of movies recently. Instead of heading to Prime Video, they’ve gone to Paramount+.
Is John Wick: Chapter 4 on Funimation? Crunchyroll, its official website may include the movie in its catalog in the near future. Meanwhile, people who wish to watch something similar can stream ‘Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train.’
Is John Wick 4 Available Streaming on Peacock? Not Now, Lions Gate Entertainment struck a massive distribution deal with Peacock that gives the streaming service exclusive rights to its films’ “Pay 2” streaming window (via THR). The agreement means that after Lionsgate’s films have their initial streaming releases on Starz, the movies, like John Wick: Chapter 4, will later be available to stream on Peacock. Since Lionsgate hasn’t even confirmed the official streaming release date for the John Wick sequel on Starz, don’t expect to see the movie land on Peacock tv until at least winter 2024 after the deal officially kicks in.
Pay 1 windows typically last between a year to 18 months, meaning that if John Wick: Chapter 4 begins streaming on Starz in Sep 2023, it isn’t likely to join Peacock’s movie library until September 2024 at the earliest. Peacock and Lionsgate’s deal confirmed that releases like John Wick: Chapter 4 would start streaming on the service in 2024, so the latest movie will most likely be on Peacock in fall 2024. By this time, John Wick: Chapter 4 will be available alongside the entire John Wick franchise for streaming on OTT platform.
When Will John Wick 4 Be on Streaming Anywhere? While a digital release date for John Wick: Chapter 4 has not yet been announced, we can make an educated guess based on a previously released Lionsgate movie.
Top gun 2, which premiered on Jan. 13, came to digital platforms on Feb. 3 — about three weeks after it was released in theaters. If John Wick: Chapter’s 4 follows the same trajectory, we could be watching it from the comfort of our living rooms by late April or early May.

Managed to get a really good run going with the gay lasers and the curse that gives you an anima if you use one immediately after getting hit. Managed to beat Time for the first time after getting to him but dying once before!
Afterwards, there was an elevator half stuck in the ground right next to the arena but it still let me enter. A saw a more reasonable looking elevator further along up the hill but decided to try this semi-buried one.
It took me to the break room and I noticed that one of the quantum aberration lockers was there. I tried putting in some golden anima for funsies but I think it took my blue anima. Anyway, I soon gave up on that cause I didn't want to ruin my chances if there actually was something else and I just wanted my first win to record properly.
The elevator gave me an image of a white square for the next department and some place holder text... well turns out it took me straight to Life.
Managed to beat them and got the credits and everything recorded properly!!
Has this happened to anyone else? Not sure how much was a bug or how much was intended, but I know you're normally meant to open the 3 lockers which only appear after you've beaten time once so seems pretty unintended.
Looking forward to practising more and getting there the intended way but was probably the most positive glitch I've had in a game for a while!

Here’s the thing.
Initially, I was pushing for a Rhea/Charlotte main event on night one. Admittedly, there were politics that went into me wanting to see that be the main event. I never denied that Sami/KO v Usos is the better story, nor did I praise the women’s storyline, but I didn’t want to see the women get robbed of their main event spot for two years straight.
But after seeing the overwhelming ratio in favor of the tag match, my opinion has swayed. Putting the women on before the tag match would probably put them in the best position to get cheered, whereas having them in the main event runs the risk of the crowd either 1. Turning on them, or 2. Leaving early. Neither woman deserves to be booed at WrestleMania of all places, so sending them out there earlier is likely the best course of action. Putting the tag match in the main event also lends itself to history. I suppose they could advertise things as a co main event to try and appease the women in some way, but the tag match should still go on last.
But this is the problem…
Saying things like “The best story should main event WrestleMania…” implies that booking is always equal. That every storyline is just as compelling and that it’s ultimately the talents’ jobs to get the fans to buy into their storyline, thus earning the main event spot. But when you look at WWE, it’s been “The Bloodline Show” for years now. This only increased with the Bloodline winning all the top gold last year. It’s casted such a shadow over the rest of the product that they literally had to cut time from the women on Raw XXX to give their segment more time. This is a problem.
When you look at the two women’s title programs, neither of the builds have been very good. All four women are exceptional talent and any combination of these women would/should be a blast to watch. They all should be main event material, but their stories just aren’t reflecting their potential. This is a problem with the booking, NOT the talent.
Most of WWE’s creativity is clearly going towards the Bloodline. And sure, it’s a great story, but the product feels very disproportionate. So I do think the tag match should be the main event, but the neglect of other divisions needs to stop after WrestleMania. Coming out of this, WWE needs to focus on making all top titles relatively even, so that any of the four titles could realistically be in the main event of any given PLE.
I feel bad for the women, but hopefully better days are to come.

Looking for a dog daycare for a short period where there are individual runs. The last time I tried a dog daycare my dog was traumatized and exhuasted From being around 40 dogs all day outside

I experienced DV through most of my childhood. My parents were always fighting loudly and now I am very sensitive to yelling as an adult. My neighbors are so loud, they argue very late into the night and it is usually the man yelling. I think I can hear kids running around. I don't know exactly what apartment they are in, so I haven't filed a noise complaint.
This happens several times a week, sometimes until about 10 pm other times it wakes me up around 2 or 3 am. If I can't block the noise completely then it gives me massive anxiety which sometimes leads to attacks. It's hard to breathe, I just lay in bed sobbing with flashbacks to my childhood and so much pain and empathy for the family going through it now.
Whenever the police were called to my childhood home for noise/domestic dispute, it never helped. They just took notes and left. Sometimes it made things worse. So that makes me afraid to involve police in a situation I don't know much about.
I didn't know where else to go to vent until I found this sub. I don't know if i'm solely looking for support for myself or advice on how to deal with the situation so either are welcomed. TIA

Have any of y’all regularly gotten positive pregnancy tests from having cysts??? A few months back I started getting them, they were infrequent but still happening. My OB/GYN at the time blew me off and just told me it was cysts without running any tests besides an HCG test. I’m currently not showing signs of kidney disease but you never know, going to the doctor tomorrow. Hopefully they’ll have answers, but I definitely feel alone right now

It’s time for a reality check. Here’s a bunch of random footnotes of things that have happened lately, in no particular order.
I’ve been dealing with some family stuff and my own head making some backwards progress. I’ve had decent job improvements, bought a car, and mostly accepted that I’m likely bi. I cuddled with my cat for an entire night. I got a new cup that has a lid. I had a weird allergic reaction to something that made part of my nose swell up. I bought some little books. I distanced myself from some friends which has made me much more lonely but also relieved a massive amount of stress from me. I did surgery on a grape but have been posting here less frequently than I’d like to. I’ve been streaming nightly on twitch and made some viewers uncomfortable by flirting with a femboy who claims to be 20 and living in Australia but likely is a 30 year old man in the States, a prospect that should be disgusting but I find it funny instead. I started making chainmail out of 14 gauge galvanized steel wire for fun.
I’m not doing great mentally, but I’ve got things going well otherwise.
Lemme know how you guys are doing.

TLDR: I am running for POTUS in 2024 by launching an app as both my campaign platform and my solution to winning an election outside the two parties system. And I mean entirely. I would like your help coordinating the massive social media initiative my plan is going to require, and in return I will let your team turn the entire process into creative content. My App is a massive social relief initiative completely funded by the revenue generated from building community solar field projects. Essentially a savings account in the American people's name funded primarily through green energy revenue. Kickstarter campaign goes live 27-MAR-2023.
Greetings Mr. Donaldson,
I'll begin by stating that everything I am about to reveal here is very real. I am a tradesman not a politician so please try to keep that in mind.
Let me tell you a bit about myself for context.
My name is Benjamin J. Lee. I am a retired Air Force Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician. OIF/OEF Veteran. I am a carpenter and recently began training as an Electrician's Apprentice. I had the time to view you and Lex Fridman's conversation and I must say. I do not understand how people get you so wrong. Normal people see a cash pinata, but I see your genius for what it is. You are just doing what you love and trying to do your part to save the world at the same time. That's exactly why I believe you and I should work together. You inspired me to do the same thing after your podcast appearance. I sat down and I figured out a 10 year plan on how to put America back on the right track. And after hearing what I am trying to do, I do believe that it will peak your team's interest enough to at least see if I am full of shit or not.
And the best part of my campaign initiatives are, I can prove they work. And I can do it long before I ever step foot into office.
The first integral piece to my software is called the Social Media Safety Net. This is essentially a trust I am setting up into the American people's name that will be funded by a few of the following initiatives.
First the "Solar Safety Net". I am going to be coordinating the creation of new tradesman cooperatives in local communities to build commercial scale solar fields. This will achieve the following things.
-It will provide my social programs with guaranteed, scalable, and renewable green revenue.
-Give communities access to publicly owned land so they can build and negotiate energy contracts with the advantage of commercial scale building costs. (Typically Residential solar is over $4 per watt to build an array. Commercial on the other hand is around .89 cents.)
-That means I can also bring the commercial advantages of solar to the residential market, and do it almost essentially free to the citizens. And they won't have to damage their homes with rooftop solar.
-Investing into small businesses that are established to maintain these fields, and then negotiate contracts to maintain other solar arrays as well. They will also help the communities negotiate their energy agreements with local power distributors. This will vary state to state depending on their green energy packages.
(I can give a better breakdown of the numbers later, however it is a solid investment strategy.)
Another example of one of my fundraising initiative's is called "Merch to Miracles." I am going to conduct nationwide merch campaigns partnered with as many current streamers and content creators that I can get on board. I will coordinate everything on the Merch creation side and partnered creators will just create their own sub campaigns. The partners retain 50% of the revenue generated, and then 50% rolls back into the app.
Now how does this app give back to the American people?
Actually in so many ways it's almost hard to explain but I will attempt to do so in a single letter.
The first part of the app is the virtual oval office. The software is going to have video and stream hosting integration because I believe it's bullshit that the President feels so disconnected from our society when he could literally be on a stream every week interacting with his constituents. But then again I am 35 and our current president is like 300 something so who knows if I am wrong about that. It's going to use a new form of voting prototype that will allow me to hold and advertise votes between myself and my voter base. They will get to weigh in on the spending of project funds, current events, and community activities that I will be planning. And everything will be completely free for the end user. If they are registered as an Undecided voter on the app I will also be able to see their demographics and a little about them.
How am I supposed to properly represent my constituents if I never take the time to get to know them?
There will be a Rate my Representative function and profiles for every seat of our government. I am coining it my "Digital Checks and Balance System".
But the greatest parts of the entire project are my social relief packages. User's App profiles will have links and integration with many current social media platforms. But they also will contain the ability to rack up Hero Points. These Hero points can be earned through a wide array of activities.
-Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Hero missions that focus on getting people involved in their communities, creating art, hosting parties ect. (User's will have profile unique QR codes that are used to reward points in person through event coordinators.)
-Contest submissions for Long form writing, poetry, art, and inventions coordinated on dedicated Reddit and Discord communities and threads. (Upvote system is already perfect for my eventual vision here)
-Participating in and finishing education
-Community service
-Civil Service
-And much much more to be announced
There will then be functionality for users to mark a particular hardship on their profile and then use their earned hero points to roll on social relief crates. These crates will come in various sizes and for various hardships but here are just a few examples.
-UbeLift Vouchers for people needing to attend work or school
-Student Loan Forgiveness
-My Career Retraining Support Initiative
-Funds to host community events
-Scholarships and more
And the best part is that because solar revenue is stable, the funding for supported programs will be too. The points never go bad and are tradeable so communities can pool their points for projects, much like I am trying to pool everyone's voices into one powerful roar to wake our politicians up.
I am going to get this mission accomplished with or without your assistance. I do believe however it would be much more effective and much more enjoyable for myself if you did me the honor of helping me save our country, and then maybe, the world.
If you'd like to learn a little more about me, or see the Kickstarter promo videos visit www.ThePresidentialApprentice.com, or have one of your team members contact me here.
Also I apologize if any of my media content looks like a 5th grader produced it. I am doing this entire thing by myself and I was in trade school until about 3 weeks ago, so I had to take the crash course on video production, political campaigning, solar technology, economics, marketing, streaming, app development, and a bunch of other shit.
I am so excited about the things you and I are going to do together in the next few years.
Hope to hear from you soon Jim.
*Edit* Sorry, could you also ask Lex if he'd be able to give me his input on creating a learning AI that I could use with Youtube and its search algorithms to assist our job placement strategy. We need to start harvesting passion as a resource. People are simply more productive pursuing a passion instead of a paycheck. That's unrelated but thank you anyways.
