Still having a hard time seeing who will pay me.
If I make a small platform for gamers to play games, and I just put ads and a donation button, how do I pre-measure the success?
Is this in the field of value-estimation?
(I know my sentence structure is off so if I’m not making sense feel free to ask clarifying questions)

I’m in a terrible mood, the kind where I would normally just go home. But I lost my freaking debit card and relying on the dasher direct card to eat right now. I did Lyft most of the day cuz orders just weren’t coming in but I was like damn I gotta do some dashes to get some money on that card (obviously this is a temporary situation so please don’t come at me-shit happens).
Sooo I’m sitting in a parking lot, waiting. Finally an order comes in …which is right on the borderline of the minimum of what I would normally take. I’m like screw it, something to do. I accept, go to check the drop off address. And see “leave at door: break dance”.
Now, I know a lot of people think these little things are funny and If you do, by all means dance your heart out and go on about your day. And I’m all for living life light heartedly BUT I’ve always hated these!! I just see them as “dance monkey dance”. It feels so disrespectful and just a total lack of awareness for what we dashers are out here to do…make money and survive.
Ohhh and the pick up restaurant which was in the same parking lot happened to have a medical emergency in front of it with several fire trucks, EMS and police right in front sooo there was that. I just said “oh please fuck right off” and cancelled.

Forgive me for how silly this sounds, but I need different perspectives. I went out to drink with a couple friends of mine. I ended up staying late with a friend of mine. She ended up dropping me off (Via Uber.) She sent me a message that she didn’t mind, but that I touched her breasts. Which, she obviously did since she sent me a message. I don’t recall doing this, and of course I apologized to her. She assured me that it was ok, and I did it because we were just having fun. This has NEVER happened with anyone. However, I take her word for it.
It left me uneasy. Not just because of what I did, but also because I sort of feel like I cheated on my wife. Even though it wasn’t my intention at all. I’m paranoid about this. Is this something that my wife should know about, or is it better to move on from this?
TL; Dr i accidentally touched my friends breasts. I’m paranoid that i might have cheated on my wife. Not sure what’s the best way of dealing with this.

This is the report I created and wont edit it because I want everyone to get the full picture,
I asked myself if it was unethical to doxx his handset credentials but honestly im pissed and if he does it again, everyone will know its a scam.

I wrote a review for consumer affairs and will attach it below to briefly explain the uncomfortable experience I had with my APC information and interaction below my long description of the shady phishy shit that just happened to me with employees of safelink and straight talk.
After I saw the straight talk "personalized" email I received about acp (which I opted out of), I began applying because at the time; I thought you could get a cell phone service discount from acp, and then have discounted internet from lifeline; I was obviously wrong but was elated to see that considering i had covid turned walking pneumonia so the financial impact has hit me pretty hard. Covid three times too, anyways;
​
although I have always been weary of straight talk but have kept them for so long because they were the lowest cost for service; I enrolled knowing the enrollment process would be quick due to me already being approved through acp.
​
That took no time, then once I was approved I received an update on my straight talk account that said I was enrolled; but in order to begin receiving the acp discount I would need to call an 800 number and give them my card number.......
​
I did it because I trusted that the information being displayed to me FROM the straight talk site was not a scam.
​
I called the number (had an accent), verified my credentials after like 15 minutes of attempting to get through, and the man told me I was already enrolled so I didnt need to give him my payment method as "it was already working". I even read out what the straight talk prompt was displaying to me to him. He said I was fine and good to go. Told me to wait for the next month to reflect the $30 dollar discount. Next month arrives and I see I was charged the full amount. (mind you, when I look back; it does not show this now) I called them again questioning this and reminding them that this could be because the other man didn't listen to the instructions prompt that the straight talk site had previously warned me was requiring me to complete BEFORE it could go into effect.
​
Same thing happened, he told me I was enrolled and everything was fine; that I would receive a refund for the $30 I was billed for the full amount/it would automatically do this. I said ok but I think something is wrong here so I will call again.
​
SAME thing happened again but now I was not able to transparently see my purchase history, and order history from the individual device properly due to them changing the site.
​
And you can only go back three months every time, the search is displaying different receipts from what I had previously seen in the last two months but school was ramping up and mid terms were near so I said ok again I will wait, but if I get charged again I am reporting this and canceling this acp account because I NEVER had this issue with blackfoots' acp benefit, EVER.
​
So it took me a few months (yesterday) to catch this because it was finals and right before that I had covid turned walking pneumonia. I even fell behind on school work to take care of my health and figured if they were charging me full price this entire time, I would just call back for a refund dating back to January because I had proof of the phone calls and times (but not conversations).
​
After FINALLY finding what I thought was an overcharge (reversal of 124 dollars that was labeled phone services) yesterday on an account that was NOT the payment method I had confirmed was my primary payment (first phone call I fact checked and asked him if and when I do get charged the 5 dollars; if you're not going to accept my card payment; will it be deducted from my primary payment method then? He said yes), I called them and took me another 15 minutes to get on the phone with them, they said they are not not showing ANY payments from me.
​
So then I started to freak out because I thought the 124 dollars was back pay from them attempting to overcharge me from a reversal payment of the incorrect payment amount!!!! He told me due to the high call volumes, he instructed me to call back when I was in contact with my bank to figure it out on my end.
​
I called for this issue and they told me those transactions were not from straighttalk or a phone service provider at all, and it was a completely separate thing.
​
She also told me that she did not see any payments reflects to them, and I said good because I never requested them or authorized them to take payments out of an account that didn't work.
​
So I begin to freak out even more,
I call them back thinking that I really didn't pay them since January and had been somehow receiving service for this long.
I called them to get this sorted out asap, and allow me to pay them back an unexpected debt I didn't know I had.
​
I told them this is outrageous, I have always paid my bills with them on time and have had them for years, after him continuously telling me that they are not reflecting on their end that I made a payment at all since January, I asked them to hold on the line while I prove FROM MY BANK ACCOUNT (another one, the one I authorized originally) that they had overcharged me, and I HAD been making payments... and THATS why I was receiving service all this long.
​
All of a sudden the call drops in the middle of me telling him i'm signed in and heading back to January to find the overcharge.
​
HE hangs up on me. NOT ONLY THAT though, I receive a suspicious error I had never seen on my phone at the same time;
due to working in cybersecurity I immediately screenshotted it and attempted to call back.... now furious.... I cannot receive calls or texts and I receive a text that my service has been drained; and I need to refill; at 0.
​
NOW i'm enraged. Before I could prove I paid, he cut off my service; I was receiving very weird prompts and the error I took a screenshot below gave me a gut feeling.
​
I looked it up and of course, it claims that its my phone's nearby cellular tower or ITS MY PHONE,
NEVER had that issue before and I was receiving ONLY straight talk texts claiming I needed to refill my service of 35$ The full amount!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
​
furious that I had been duped like this, I call my mom to use her cell phone and receive another text that I PAID MY SERVICE, and my refill is next month. I was so suspicious that during the time the call dropped, I was signed into my straight talk account and I was watching him attempt to change my address, name, and all account information;
so I immediately deleted my payment method and edited my account info with a pin that signed him out.
WHICH IS WHY HE TURNED OFF MY SERVICE AND DROPPED THE CALL.
​
My zip code still displays a weird headset number as my account number, and displays my zip code as Florida. NEVER been to Florida.
​
I call them back and tell my mother that my identity was just stolen,
I deleted my payment method before he could refill my service with it so either he used the old account that would deny the payment;
or he used a credit card on my account that is NOT ASSOCIATED WITH ME. I call them and demand that they tell me what my purchase history reflects on their end because in straight talk, my account doesn't show any transactions, but my phone now works.
​
The guy was snarky to me and attempted to tell me that everything's fine, my service wasn't deleted, that it was just a dropped call, and that he wanted me to test my phone and give him my credentials to make sure it worked. Mind you, he sends me a verification code FROM straight talk, so I know they BOTH work there. So I allowed him to test it out and he asked me if I wanted to proceed with the refund portion, or contact acp and get my account active for future references.
​
I said refund because i'm not finished updates my latest payment method to reflect a card that will work,
because he is telling me that I was never billed for a second service amount and my phone was never deactivated. He ALSO tells me that he is only tech support and not billing or acp........................
​
at this point i'm very uncomfortable and suspicious so I tell him I have finished updating my primary payment method so transfer me to acp.
​
HE GIVES ME A PHONE NUMBER AND TELLS ME TO CALL IT BECAUSE HE CANT TRANSFER ME OVER LIKE THEY JUST PREVIOUSLY DID, MOMENTS BEFORE. Mind you this is the SAME straight talk phone number I had called previously so this was not another scammer, it was straight talk.
​
Instead of immediately calling a suspicious phone number I fact check the phone number on google and its the phone number for SAFELINK, not acp or straight talk.
​
I call and explain the situation, he immediately tells me he needs to transfer me again to escalate it to Safelink tier 2.....
​
so now its a woman. (also every one of them gave me false names like the man before this woman was named Alexa-us.... he almost caught himself.
​
The woman answers and immediately asks for my approval number from acp, so I said hold on I have to sign into my acp to get it.
​
She tells me well I need the last four of your social now.
​
I told her exactly why I would not give it to her and said let me get the approval code so you can verify my identity a different way.
​
she scoffs at me and tells me uhmmmm no I cannot help you or give you anything until I have the last four of your social.
​
I said, the other man and EVERYONE at straight talk sends me a verification code to confirm THEY ARE WHO THEY SAY THEY ARE FIRST, I said I would like this to be done first before I give out this type of credentials to a suspicious number.
​
She laughs and tells me again, there is nothing I can do until I get the last four of your social, then to be even more rude she pipes up and says; also now I need your birthdate as well, full birthdate please.
​
I said so you cant send me a verification code first, you don't want my approval acp number then she interrupts me and says she already has everything about me (SOMEHOW BEFORE I GAVE IT TO HER, probably, just simply by my phone number BEING the account username), and she needs my birthdate (to be an ass), social, and full address (then snickers again like i'm psychotic).
​
So I give her my social and tell her that's all she is getting,
she tells me again there is nothing she can do until she receives ALL THREE.
​
So I give it to her (and begin recording her for her to clearly hear the record button turn on). She said, "Good news I already found you! So when you receive that verification code let me know", and snickers again.
​
I attempt to tell her my service may be off so I didn't receive the previous one the tech support guy was waiting for but then it popped up and I gave it to her.
​
The first thing I ask her, and explain to her that I am going to start off simply with three questions, what does MY purchase history display going back to January, I told her mine it not reflecting correctly and I need to know whether I have owned you a bill since then. I explained to her briefly that I just got told I have not been making my payments since January but my service has been on. (didn't want to give her too much information but assumed she already knew).
​
I said I NEED to know what payment methods were associated because I fear I was billed again without my knowledge or consent, on an account that SHOULD have blocked the transaction...
​
I said so my phone will not work and I will get over drafted.
​
I said, AND I NEED TO KNOW WHAT MY ACTUALLY MONTHLY PAYMENT IS, because on my end; I have been getting billed the FULL amount.
​
She told me as confusingly as possible that there is a 30 plan for the acp, that excludes five dollars a monthly but you have to go into your account and accept it.
​
I said, ok so this is the first i'm hearing of this,
I said I have PROOF my original enrollment reflected my bill would only be $5.00 a month. I said and every month I called, I verified that with straight talk and then said everything is fine. Then I explained to her what the guy said about I would be billed the 35$, and then refunded 30.
​
I asked her if this was all connected?
​
She paused and nicely explained to me that this is an upgrade to the original acp account that pays 30$ yes, as a credit monthly for your bill. (still confused as shit)
​
I said so if I do not accept that, which I never have, then I should only be billed 5 dollars a month correct? I said I have not, as far as I can see on my end.
​
She said correct, but she said the lowest amount is 30 without data and that covers the full 30 we credit to you.
​
I told her, I USE data, I chose the 35 dollar plan to pay an extra five for gigs because I use mobile data for my job.... I fucking work in IT. (I didn't say that lol) but I said I use it for my job.
​
she was about to spout off bullshit again (nicely now and sweet.. she's actually really intelligent other than that type of cold hearted attitude like i'm fucking dumb something fishy is not actually going on with her),
I interrupted her and said ok well its good that it sounds like my bill has been covered since January, and I don't owe you anything? Because I was freaking out about an unexpected bill I cant afford, that was over charged, she said yes it covered.
​
So I asked her, ok spell it out for me I NEED to hear it (on recording), I don't owe you anything, and i've been making monthly payments still since January, but through benefits that acp is covering?
​
she said yes.........
​
pause
​
so I asked her ok those two questions are solved.
I KNOW I was being overcharged, I SAW IT, and CALLED ABOUT IT TWICE previously, and I said and the man on the phone whom had confirmed my payment method with me AGREED I was being billed 35 dollars monthly, AFTER my acp was approved.
​
But I didn't want to hear her excuse so I said well I can always attempt to confirm that with all my payment methods unless it was being charged from an UNAUTHORIZED and UNKNOWN payment method. (I wish I had the wit to remember those big words but said something more laymen but similar)
​
I said ok the last question is;
WHAT card or payment method was used for my service now,
I didn't authorize a payment but I received a message that says i'm paid up till July 4th,
and that pretty much my phone works now.
​
She then explained to me that its working because my acp has been approved, and never went out.... or something similar so me wanting to bash my head against the wall to get questions about VERY SUSPICIOUS interactions occurring answered,
​
I said well if I don't owe you anything and I will not be billed in the future because the full amount is paid through this benefit then I think i'm good, that's all I need to know. (I wanted to get off the phone so bad to begin looking at EVERY credit card and bank account number I had, to begin reporting this and locating odd transactions.
​
I NEED TO KNOW HOW MUCH IVE BEEN BILLED, IF I WAS BILLED SUSPICIOUSLY OR THROUGH A SHELL ACCOUNT KIND OF LIKE DATA MINING, I NEED TO KNOW IF MY SERVICE IS CURRENTLY WORKING BECAUSE I, MADE A PAYMENT, OR IF WHAT THEY ARE TELLING ME IS TRUE... SOMETHING IS FISHY HERE AND I WAS SO UNCOMFORTABLE THAT I AM GOING TO REPORT THIS AS IDENTITY THEFT, FOR THE MOST PART MY CREDENTIALS ARE SECURE BUT I GAVE THEM EVERYTHING THEY NEEDED TO KNOW, BECAUSE THEY WORKED FOR THE CORPORATION. I HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS, like was I ever billed? Was I ever billed that 5 dollar amount? Why didn't the fucking first guy tell me what a tier fucking two Safelink 'supposed' employee had to vaguely explain to me? I am done with straight talk,
and honestly I have been suspiciously been getting so many spam calls lately, who knows; maybe since the beginning of January, that I was already going to change my number anyways.
​
The tech support man kept telling me to look at my bars,
and they have been bouncing around ever since.
I honestly want to chuck this phone that IM CONVINCED they ported into, alongside my fucking straight talk account.
​
​
How they collect information is very phishy, They directed me to at least seven people in which I had to give my credentials from my ACP benefits approval form. Having me call at least four separate phone numbers in order to answer THREE questions which should be transparent, AND displayed TO THE CONSUMER about their personal information/transactions. All seven of them had different answers as well as attitudes towards me, none of them gave me their real name. ALL of them asked for the authentication code either first, after social security/address/birthday, in between, or not at all. I didn't feel safe because of it, and after five hours I got my three questions answers.
​
I will also note that the tech guy kept asking me to look in my mobile data settings for config tabs that did not exist,
and yes he got my IMEI and ICCID
​
I also attached below proof of the messages from straight talk claim my account fill or whatever they call it was depleted,
and then reinstated
​
please please investigate if they are stealing phone plans or syphoning one day from one customer, and then one day from another to combine them into a service plan they can sell off as a scam or some evil backhanded thing like this
​
I even got the impression that they were lead listing my credentials
​
not to mention my ip kept popping up weird links (mind you I have all the stops, and pop ups disabled)
when I scanned it with a vpn it claims the link was malicious, this was after this insidious debacle
and I NEVER CLICKED A LINK or pressed a button
​
During this I also told him that my phone had mdm, because I work in cybersecurity; so whatever feature or tab or he was gonna try (to fix).. wouldn't work

I’ve been friends with the bride since we were in 5th grade and I consider her a close friend. Today she kicked me out of her wedding party. She has two other bridesmaids, her younger sister and her fiance’s brother’s girlfriend (both [F18]) who has been studying in a different province and hasn’t been here for one single event. I haven’t even met her. Does she even exist?
Just for some reference I’ve been a bridesmaid once before. I was fourteen and it was for my cousin’s wedding. I wasn’t a junior bridesmaid from what my mom told me today, I just had less responsibility, but I was always there whenever my cousin asked me for something, no matter what it was.
I know I could have done things differently looking back on it but if if I was doing something wrong or not up to standard I think the reasonable thing to do would be to let me know so I can fix it.
She asked me to be a bridesmaid last may. She did not mention a Hindu wedding at the time so I just assumed it would be one ceremony (her fiance is white). She eventually said it to my boyfriend and I three-four months ago in passing and said we were both invited. But nothing was ever blatantly said to me about it.
We went for our dress fitting in January and ordered them. But then, about a month ago she decided she wanted us in traditional saree’s for the Hindu wedding. I was pretty taken aback by this as she made no mention of it up until a month ago. I told her it wasn’t in my budget and she said she was okay with that and that I could wear the one bridesmaid dress I bought. If she wasn’t okay with this we could have figured something out - rental? Maybe borrow one from someone? I just didn’t wanna pay for one, I’m fresh out of uni and I’m just starting my career and I have bills to pay. I didn’t know about a 2nd outfit for MONTHS. If it was told to me ahead of time I could and would have planned accordingly!
I think this part is specific to Canada: we have these big social events to raise money for the wedding. They’re a tradition here, it’s basically just dancing, drinks, food, and a raffle. You usually rent out a hall and everything. I was having trouble selling tickets to this thing because all my close friends all had a falling out with the bride (she’s pretty difficult to get along with and always has been). So I wasn’t able to find anyone to go until eventually I got my parents and some of my parents friends to come. Weeks before this she kept asking me for the ticket money and I had to keep telling her over and over that I didn’t have it just yet but i’d get it to her.
THEN the night of the party happened and I told her a few days earlier I would probably be late because I was working a full shift that day and wouldn’t get home till 7. Guests would start arriving at 8. 8pm hits and I’m on my way and she calls me and I’m letting her know again that I worked and that I’d be a little late. But I came, I did my jobs that I was supposed to do while there, then I helped clean up at the end. And then she gave my boyfriend and I the okay to leave. SHE SAID WE COULD GO AND SAID “yup you guys did great tonight, thanks for all your help!”
Then today, she dropped the bomb on me that she didn’t want me in her wedding party anymore and that she’d rather me come as a guest. I didn’t understand what I did wrong. I kept telling her if she needed help I would help. She never asked me for anything and all of the bridesmaid and wedding party group chats are dead. No one is talking in them. She didn’t give me any explanation when she told me. We were out for brunch and she said it to me after the food came out so we sat there in silence until she asked for the bill.
Prior to this she gave me absolutely no indication that she was upset with me. Nothing in person, nothing over text.
Also before she expressed to me that she was upset that her wedding party was so small, so I must have messed up royally if she kicked me out when she was already upset about that.
Should I still go to the wedding? I’m pretty gutted and offended by all of this. She didn’t even sit me down to discuss if I was doing something wrong, she just cut me out with no warning. Which is in her right I guess, it is her wedding, it just caught me off guard is all. But if she expressed that she was unhappy I could have done something.

I was laid off of my job after 20 years of service. It wasn’t due to my self-dx of high functioning asd. They had no idea as did I. I was working from home since the pandemic began and it was during this time that I made my dx. They were unsurprisingly just changing management and my position was no longer needed.
Now I’m foisted back into the job market at 58. It’ll be difficult as it is with ageism, lack of keeping up my education and dealing with my anxiety / depression, meltdowns and burnout. I’ve been slowly dropping my mask and had much less social exposure for the past three years so I’m getting rusty passing as NT and making it more difficult in interviews. I may have to accept a job out of state and move closer to it or go back to an hour-long commute, which I hate. I could always try for another remote wfh job.
I dread having to go back to masking, but it’s a necessary evil. I can’t present myself as autistic because I don’t have an official dx to back me up and it could be surreptitiously used against me by prospective employers.
I may have to take a pay cut. I don’t have a college degree. I can take a few free software courses to get some required certificates. The silver lining is that I was given 6 months severance (bi-monthly) pay, giving me time to get my shit together.
Thanks for reading this far, I just needed to vent.

I'm an older guy interested in doing it bareback with someone at least 10 years younger. It feels better to follow your instincts and do things the natural way and let me cum inside. I'm a clean guy so there's no risk there since I usually have safe sex. But I'm also a dad so there's the pregnancy risk. Are you okay with that? I'm a sensual guy who loves to touch and caress you and I would rather make you feel good than just get myself off. So if you're turned on by the idea of not using condoms and wants to feel each other skin on skin, let's go for it. If we like it we can meet up more often. If you're not on the pill then we might end up breeding, and that turns me on too.

I know that nesting is apart of the planned features of Path of titans, but I spent an hour thinking in bed about how the mechanics will work, so I decided to write this for others to look at. :) Let me know what you think of it, if you think its balanced or not.
The Mating Process
The mating process will require a male and female of the same species. Two different species cannot mate. Get close to a partner, and send a mating request. It will pop up like a group invite - "Player is requesting to mate!"
Accepting the mating invite while within close range to the player will begin the family friendly mating animation, and will last 5-10 seconds. If attacked by an enemy during the mating animation, it will be interrupted and another mating invite will have to be sent. It's recommended to mate in a safe area because of this. Players cannot move during the mating animation, so if not done safely, it will be easy for an enemy to get an easy first bite. Look at your surroundings before you begin to ensure you don't get jumped.
Once the mating succeeds, the female receives the "Egg-bound" buff. This buff will stay until the eggs are laid, or until the female dies. A female with the "Egg-bound" buff will receive a quest on the side of the screen, in purple text: "Gather materials for the nest." These include sticks, succulent, lakeweed, lake sponge, etc. Depending on the Dinosaur, a certain amount of nesting materials is needed. For smaller Dinos like Deinonychus, will only need 20 pieces of nesting material, while larger dinosaurs like T-Rex, will need 80 pieces of nesting material. Everybody in the females group receives this quest, and it acts like a group quest, where anybody can help gather nesting materials. If the male wishes to no longer associate with the female after the mating process, he doesn't have to. Leaving the females group (if he was in one) will remove the nesting quest, as well as anyone else who was in the group as well. Only the egg-bound female is required to complete the quest, and cannot get rid of it unless she gets rid of the egg-bound buff.
The Nesting Process
Once all nesting materials have been gathered, the female can now lay her eggs. You will get a quest - "Lay your eggs!" Choose a good place to lay them, because once they are laid, they cannot be moved! Choose a safe spot like a cave, or if you're a flying creature, up very high in order to keep your eggs as safe as possible. Make sure you lay them on a flat surface so your baby's don't fall out of the nest immediately after hatching. Pressing and holding the K key (configurable) will build a nest and lay the eggs underneath the female. (Must be held for at least 3 seconds!) Keeping the eggs warm is not necessary, just staying near them and protecting them is good enough. The eggs will then be marked on your map, so if you happen to die, you can go back and find your nest so long it hasn't been ransacked. The eggs will then gain a timer of 30 minutes (configurable) until they will hatch. You can also manually hatch them if you want. The size of the nest and the eggs differ depending on which dinosaur laid them, and the amount of eggs also varies between dinosaurs. Smaller dinosaurs such as Deinonychus can produce up to 6 Eggs in one nest, while a T-Rex can only produce up to 2. This is for balancing purposes. Once the female lays the eggs, she is able to log off, walk away, and do whatever she pleases. She no longer has obligation to care for the eggs. If she doesn't wish to have anything to do with the nest after its laid, then she is allowed to decide that. Any dinosaur can take care of the eggs if the mother doesn't want to, but the mother is the only one who can manually hatch the nest. Otherwise, the timer needs to expire for the eggs to hatch. It will be very likely the eggs will not make it if the mother lays them and then leaves them, but on the off chance they do hatch, the hatchlings will be on their own. It would be an amazing brag to have hatched from an abandoned nest and survived to sub-adulthood. Maybe that can be a challenge for some!
Mammals
Any mammal dinosaurs (ones that cannot lay eggs) will go through the same process, however the buff they get will be called "Pregnant" and they will not lay eggs, but they will give birth to a small creature bundled in leaves. It will still take 30 minutes for the baby to emerge. Depending on the dinosaur, multiple bundles can be birthed.
Sea creatures
Any sea creatures that can only lay eggs underneath the water, will lay their eggs in the form of Roe instead of eggs. This means that the minimum fish eggs a sea creature can lay will have to be higher then 1. Gathering Nesting materials is not needed! Semi aquatics such as Sarcosuchus will go through the same process as land walkers who lay eggs, and lay their eggs on the surface.
Hatchling Creation
During the 30 minute egg timer, players can join the nest through the Nest tab in the Socials menu. Mothers can invite players, lock nests to friends only, and open nests can be joined by players. It'll basically function like the grouping system but in the form of nests instead. Players can choose how they look upon emerging, or they can allow the game to decide how they look. They will not be able to choose the dinosaur they emerge as however, since that depends on the mother species.
If players choose manual character creation, players will notice that there are 3 new skins are available. These are Hatchling Skins! These skins are acquired by hatching from a players nest, and surviving until Sub-adulthood. Once this is accomplished, the skins are available for purchase with Marks just as normal on that dinosaur species. Once the hatchling has been created, the player then must wait until the nest hatches, or until the mother hatches them manually.
The hatching process
Once at least one player has joined the nest, the player will view the egg from a third person view as if they are playing as the egg, but cannot move. They are able to turn the camera and view the world around them however. The mother has the option to manually hatch the nest, which can be done through the Nesting tab in the socials menu. This means the mother can be as far or as close as she wants, and still allow the eggs to hatch. Another way to hatch is to let the 30 minute timer expire, and any eggs in the nest will hatch automatically. Any eggs that have not been player claimed will simply disappear upon hatching, but the player claimed ones will turn into hatchlings. If none of the eggs in the nest are player claimed, manually hatching the nest or letting the timer expire will simply despawn the eggs. Any players who hatched out of the eggs will have the location of their hatch spot marked on their map until sub-adulthood. This is to help hatchlings who have wandered far away find home again, unless the family decides to move.
Hatchlings cannot be trampled or attacked by family members until sub-adulthood. This is to ensure players don't make nests just to kill the babies.
Living as a hatchling
Living as a players hatchling is much more difficult and can be challenging, mostly because, if you die before sub-adulthood, the hatchling is erased from your played dinosaurs. Starvation, being attacked, thirst, falling from a height, etc. This is because in order to unlock the hatchling skins, you must live from hatchling to sub-adult in one go. Death will erase the character, and you will have to start again anew. However once you hit sub-adulthood, you are free from the games clutches and you forever have that dinosaur as playable no matter if you die or not. Safe logging off the server before sub-adulthood will still allow the dinosaur to be played. Parents, protect your kids! They rely on you to help unlock those skins and survive. If the hatchlings mother logs off, it will be up to the other parents or group members or even siblings to help protect the hatchling. Hatchlings can walk around, do quests, attack and all that stuff just as normal dinosaurs can, but it is heavily recommended for the hatchling to have a body guard until at least the Juvenile or Adolescent stage. If the guardian was the only group member and they log off, it is recommended for the hatchling to stay hidden until they come back, log on as a different dinosaur in the meantime, or find a trustworthy Dinosaur to help protect and raise them, as dying before sub-adulthood will render the hatchling no longer playable. Any Dinosaur, Carnivore or Herbivore can raise a hatchling of any kind. Herbivores must take caution when raising a carnivore however, for obvious reasons. Most realism servers would most likely have a rule against Herbivores raising Carnivores as they do now with roleplaying babies.
Eggs are food too
Any carnivore, including the parents, can eat eggs, player claimed or not. Larger dinosaurs such as Sarcosuchus and Allosaurus can pick them up with their mouth and swallow them much like meat chunks and fish, but smaller dinosaurs and scavengers such as Deinonychus and Thalassodromeus must SWIPE the eggs first! If they can carry them and get away, then they are free to put them on the ground and eat them. They cannot start eating unless they put the egg down on the ground first. Once an egg begins to be eaten, it can no longer hatch. If a carnivore or scavenger picks up the egg and then drops it somewhere outside the nest, the egg can be put back into the nest to continue incubating, so long as the scavenger hasn't taken a bite already. Any Dinosaur can remove and replace eggs from any nest, even if it doesn't belong to them. Eggs can be taken from one nest, and put into a different nest. This means an Allosaurus egg is able to hatch within a Stegosaurus nest, but it must come from an Allosaurus nest. The Allosaurus in question is still tied to their mothers egg timer, so it will not hatch alongside the Stego eggs, and will hatch at the same time as the Allosaurus eggs instead. The only difference is the location they're in, and so long an egg is in a nest of some kind, it is able to hatch. However, the mother or guardian has the ability to cull the egg that does not belong to her nest, or if she doesn't realize the egg doesn't belong to her, cull the baby upon hatching. Mix nesting is not recommended due to this, but can be fun if everyone agrees to be nice!
With Roe, those eggs can hatch where ever they want underwater as they don't need a nest to incubate. Once a creature that lays Roe finishes mating, the eggs can be laid immediately, skipping the gather nest materials quest. But once a carnivore begins to eat the egg, the egg becomes unhatchable. If the Roe is taken out of the water, incubation pauses until it enters water again. Land nests cannot be laid underwater, and mammals cannot birth underwater (Unless it is an fully aquatic mammal, which in that case will need to have a separate birthing system)
If a player claimed egg is waiting to be born, but is eaten by a carnivore, the death screen will display and take them back to character selection much like if they were to die normally, but they won't lose anything.
Herbivores cannot eat eggs.
Eggs count as MEAT so Omnivores who have Meat as an option in their diet tab can eat eggs. If an egg is larger then half of a Scavengers body size, they cannot eat the eggs at all, because they cant pick them up. This is to prevent smaller faster dinosaurs from one-biting eggs to make them unhatchable, because that's mean and annoying and people will definitely do it. Eggs can ONLY be eaten if they are picked up first.
It is absolutely possible for a Thalassodromeus to swipe a Deinonychus egg and put them in their own nest. Don't let your kids get dino-napped! Who knows what will happen to them...they could just be food for the rest of the Thaloss nest! Or, the Thaloss plans to raise the Deino as one of her own...who knows? Roe cannot be put inside land nests, and land eggs cannot be put underwater with Roe. The incubation simply stops. Birth bundles will drown if underwater for too long. Mammals should avoid giving birth in areas with shallow water, so that the baby doesn't drown. The only reason to steal roe out of the water is for a snack, but if an aquatic is smart, she'll lay her eggs deep in the ocean where even some semi-aquatics can't get to.
That about does it for the Nesting update and what I would like to see out of it once it comes around!

!!THIS IS SIMPLY A SUGGESTION AND HOW I WISH THINGS WILL TURN OUT, THIS DOES NOT EXIST IN THE GAME, AND I DO NOT WORK FOR THE COMPANY WHO MAKES PATH OF TITANS!!

just broke the record for amount of times i've had pee on my floor for the weekend GAH. she's not quite yet 2 and she was a rescue from kill shelter so i'm trying to be patient but 😬 unless we have been outside at the dog park or on a hike i've basically kept her crated because even when i'm watching her she just pees everywhere, i just took her on a walk where she peed a bunch so i thought she'd be safe outside of crate for a bit, but i took my eyes off of her for 3 mins tops and she had peed another large puddle already 😭 and i specifically asked the owner if she was potty trained and he said yes. I'm almost worried medically for her, but she can keep her crate clean and i don't think uti because it's not quite that frequent (and every time she goes she does actually pee quite a bit, unlike dogs with uti who eventually are just getting out drops), it's just more like she hasn't learned she's not allowed to just squat whenever she feels like and pee :/. But she likes a clean crate to nap in so she won't pee there at least. She's a house hippo who loves her naps I just feel bad I can't let her on couch for them (my husband would be so upset if she peed there lol). Anyone else go through something similar I just want to commiserate for stress relief right now 😪.

Hello! I am looking for feedback on my itinerary. My friend and I are visiting in a few weeks; it will be the first time in Iceland for both of us. We are staying in Reykjavik and will be renting a car. We found a very affordable package for airfare and accommodation that would only work in a specific set of 4 days this Summer, so that's all we have to work with. Please be kind, I know Day 2 and 3 are probably too ambitious but I chose to include the top sights in my list as a starting point, and will edit down from there.
I couldn't figure out how to copy/paste it here, but I do have this schedule as a timetable/spreadsheet and I am factoring in the driving times, hiking/walking/exploring times, etc. I don't intend to plan things down to the minute; I just want to have a rough estimate of how many hours of driving/exploring and what we can physically manage. We intentionally kept Day 4 a little light so as to allow ourselves some or a lot of rest if needed.
Thank you for your help.

I swear I have no clue what to do with it regarding my hair.
It grows out and down from the crown with thin hair but I have tons of it
I have straight growing hair so if I do volume it looks like a bird nest.
It’s like my head has a almost straight drop off comparable to almost the Mariana Trench from the top of my back as there’s not a lot of slope to it
I wish I had a defined jaw line to make up for it but it doesn’t look like even if I get lower body fat it won’t be impressive.

Hello all,
We recently bought the 3 pack from Costco and it seems to keep dropping randomly. We had an asus mesh router before and it would also drop. Spectrum says everything is fine on their end. Do you guys maybe know what the issue could be? I’m losing my mind over here. The entire internet drops and I have to reboot the modem then the router. I’ve switched out Ethernet cables , but no luck. I have a hard time imaging I have a bunch of bad cables, but some are a few years old.
I turned off the fast roaming and beamforming options. No crazy characters in the Wifi name. We do have ring devices. I will say when we had the asus mesh router , everything seem to go to crap when we set up an indoor ring cam. We had already had a doorbell and floodlight and went months without issues.
Thanks all.

I know I shouldn't be worrying about this as I have about 3 weeks or more until he leaves again back to Sweden, hell he isn't even here yet... He will be in 8 days though.
But it sucks knowing that I'm going to have to drop him off at the airport yet again, it was so difficult to watch him go! I remember sobbing, feeling dead inside knowing I had to come back to my shitty apartment and my shitty living environment. Before he came over to see me for the first time, a few days before I cried in the shower and repeatedly said to myself, "I don't want to have to come back here"
It broke my heart and a part of me died when he had to go, it took some weeks for things to go back to "normal." Now hopefully this is the last time this separation needs to happen, I hope the migration agency contacts me this year or early next year because I hate being apart from him. I've been looking forward to seeing him all year, and it'll be a year exactly since we've seen each other.
I don't want it to end, I long for the day when it's time for me to go with him, when I can leave this town and this country behind me.
I hope it won't be much longer until then~

Now correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't troop transport mean your dropping troops off.
Why are there a select few that expect you to just go into every base so they can use the mini guns. Please explain what you think a troop transport pilot is suppose to do.

Hello. I'm a first time mom and working from home. Also, I am due with my second in December. I currently have issues that are preventing me at the moment from being comfortable with my 2 year old going into daycare or cared for outside the confines of my home. (Complex trauma but working on it with a therapist.) Just wanted to ask what the average pay rate should be in San Jose, CA. It seems like they're charging $40 to $50 per hour for credentials that are somewhat similar to the following: CPR-trained, in college or taken some college units, three years of experience as a nanny, good personality. Is $40 - $50 really the average? Thank you.

Lag spikes are so unbelievably common that Im starting to feel like some playstyles are unplayable on switch.
In fact close range fights on switch go from 50-50 to insta-lose if you lag.
Spray offs arent an option. If you lag and youre both spraying smgs your damage just wont go thru.
The only consistent playstyle left is to snipe/dmr, and run if they get close w/ mobility...
Even going in to finish off a low hp target can result in them pump>smging you while you lag spike before you can even get one shot off.
It would be fine if it was just fps drops, but the game straight freezes for a second every other fight.
Im still pretty addicted, but realising this has killed a lot of the enjoyment of the game, and Im closer than ever to switching platform.

I’ve heard that ideally you should keep your balance below 30%, but if i spend over that amount or hypothetically my entire limit but still pay it off completely before the billing date would this make my credit drop?
