Random Bow Spawn in Big Valley?
While hunting in RDR2, my dad noticed a white gun icon on the minimap and called me over. I checked it out and found a bow on the ground. He already had a bow in his inventory. I swapped the bow with a Varmint Rifle, and his inventory now showed only one bow. I checked [rdr2map.com](http://rdr2map.com), and there’s no event in this area. It’s Chapter 6, so no Skinner Brothers, and it’s far from the Nightfolk. Any idea why this happened? MLM Leader Claims That Payment System is set up so EVERYONE wins not just The boss.

MLM Leader Claims That Payment System is set up so EVERYONE wins not just The boss. Also it’s based on real estate and typical life insurance payment systems
Okay so I’m posting this title because I need good feedback. See I want to do a class in the future on various scams but I want To start with MLM scams. So what I am wanting to do is post the following: a conversation with my former upline where he’s explaining the system, his upline’s explanations as stated at a conference, and a summary of a statement from the Primerica website, and then I want to hear your responses. (People in real estate and insurance, PLEASE let me hear from you on the last one). Conversation With Former Upline: When I was in Primerica my former upline, when he was explaining to me that I make money from my client sales and any sales from people I recruit, I didn’t quite know what to think. He told me it was common practice in the insurance business. And after one client appointment when a friend said she was willing to get us in front of a fire department (I was excited because I genuinely believed that Primerica’s life insurance was the best) he told me I could get about $40,000 and he would get $80,000. I thought that was weird but he told me it was standard insurance practice and that his amount was because of his rank (regional vice President). At the time, lacking education, I felt that made sense. Speech Made By Upline of Former Upline: “You’re not really making money OFF your recruits. You’re making money FROM them. It’s no different than an employer making money off their employee’s efforts. The only difference is the boss gets all the money and then pays the employees whatever he/she thinks they are worth. Here, by contrast, when we successfully sell our products, our system is set up do EVERYONE gets paid, the clients get the best products, and EVERYONE wins.” (Uneducated me thought: “That’s wonderful they are trying to have a payment system that’s better than your typical employment job where everyone can win.”) Real Estate/Insurance Argument From Website: Their basic argument is that the payment model they use is what real estate and life insurance industries use. It allows for simplicity and streamlining of commissions payments. Also they bring up that managers usually get a portion of the commissions from employee sales. Okay Now that I’ve listed all that here’s the deal: While I’m seeing that their system is not as idealistic as they claim thanks to this group and to the FTC, I am having trouble figuring out how to put into words why these arguments are problematic. This is where you all come in. I need you to Explain why their arguments are problematic/incorrect/deceitful. This will help me prepare my class content. Also, as a bonus, I am wanting to focus my initial efforts toward people who are on the autistic spectrum like I am. The traumas of having been in a MLM have affected me deeply and I would not wish this on them. So as a bonus could you also explain, in your own words, why based on what we know about these things it would disappoint you if a friend tried to recruit you? (Please remember, this question is so I can explain to my fellow community members why they could lose friends for “trying to help.” I say this because When I first got an explanation from an AI search engine I distinctly asked, “Is this why people get upset when their MLM friends try to recruit them?”) I eagerly await everyone’s responses!

PSA: Icon of The Seas Guaranteed Balcony Rooms
Just a heads up anyone on an Icon class ship future or present, reserved over a year ago in a D4 class Guaranteed ocean view balcony stateroom. Got our room assignment today and we have been “upgraded” to a category I1 class stateroom which is an infinite ocean view “balcony” room. I understand we took the risk of booking a guaranteed room and left our assignments up to Royal and this is technically a D4 and above assignment, but it’s really not what I was expecting or imagine what we would get assigned. I’ll miss having an actual balcony on my upcoming cruise. Now trying to decide if I put in and try for a Royal Up on an ocean view extra large balcony for $300 total.First Sub!!
I don’t want to use this as a brag, but more as a way to say that there are real subs out there! I have one that is truly genuine to talk to and our dynamic is great. Use this as a ✨sign✨ that there’s someone out there for you! Your time will come. I hope to continue to find these dynamics in others because it truly is so fun talking with people."> I’m sure growing up wealthy, white and male had nothing to do with this perspective 😑
Looking for slow burn fic where they actually behave like enemies (think captive prince trilogy)
Hi everyone! I read quite a bit of fanfiction within the Harry Potter fandom, and have found some 10/10 (in my personal opinion:)) works in the marauders and dramione fandoms, but never a 10/10 drarry work. Drarry is my personal favorite ship by far, but I often feel like they fall for each other waaayyy too quickly to be realistic, they’re aware of their own sexual tension unrealistically early on/the sexual tension is way too obvious, and/or they’re too kind to/tolerant of each other too soon. I’m a big fan of the captive prince trilogy- the slow burn and enemies to lovers plot was absolutely immaculate (I firmly believe all drarry shippers will absolutely love the CaPri trilogy), and I’m searching for a drarry fic where they feel as negatively toward each other as the CaPri protagonists for a while, treat each other as meanly, and take as long to fall for each other. (Bonus would be if it explores their trauma like in CaPri.) For reference, the closest I’ve felt to finding a drarry work as described was Men Who Love Dragons Too Much. I loved that work, the writing and felt their characterizations were incredibly true to canon, but again I didn’t feel that there was enough enmity between them, and !!!!!MWLDTM spoiler until end of sentence but this is my first reddit post and idk how to blur it!!!!! that the mate trope made them move too quickly for my taste. I’m hoping for recommendations that don’t rely on a trope like being mates or soul mates to drive their falling in love; but one where they fall in love of their own accord and one that explores their trauma with plenty of angst (but a happy ending). Not a must, but additionally I’d like if the romance isn’t the only plot. With CaPri, I really enjoyed that there was an entire plot going on outside of the romance. (Come to think of it, if anyone has any recommendations for any works/books matching this description, whether in a different fandom or even published, I’m very interested!) TLDR: looking for drarry fic recs with a very slow burn where they actually are and act like enemies before falling in love, works similar to captive prince trilogy, ideally with angst and their romance not being the only plotlineFinding any motivation post-limerence
Okay its like. I know I am experiencing textbook depression symptoms and pessimism. The delusional limerance I was in for just under a year caused me to break up with my boyfriend. I thought my coworker and I were secretly in love and that once we were together, we would make music that would heal the world, or all those who listened to it. I promise I’m not crazy, and the divine universal love that descended upon me for that man was the most truthful, pure thing i’ve ever felt, by a mile. He and I share more personality traits, hobbies, and vernacular than what seems feasibly possible. I was born with blue eyes, never in my life had i understood why blue eyes were seen as such an emphasis of beauty, but I did after looking into his. I genuinely thought these things and felt them visceral, to such a pervasive magnitude that I seriously question to this day how I hid it so well. It was May 2023, and I had thought he and his girlfriends were doomed at months at this point. My desire to make music and be a singer had resurfaced, probably fueled by his pursuit of the same thing. \*Childhood savior/healing fantasy unlocked\* By the Fall equinox, I was fully enmeshed with learning about spirituality, esotericism, the occult, and ancient mystique teachings on my laptop. I spent hours each day. I believed heart and soul, that we were twin flames. I began to see my fundamental belief system clashed with my current partner, and used it as the justification for why we wouldn’t work out in the long run. By November 1, 2023, my coworker actually did break up with his girlfriend. I erroneously accepted this news as the validation for my prophetic visions and felt compelled by the universe that it was “my turn” and so turn I did on the man I called mine for the past two years of my life. I didn’t feel an ounce of remorse until six months later. In the mean time, the day following the breakup, my roommates told me they both were moving back home into their parents’ houses by the end of the year, meaning I would most likely be moving back in with my mother. Now, moving back in with my mom was my worst-case-scenario, but I still did not feel a thing, the limerence for my coworker and our fantasy future was releasing amount of serotonin, oxytocin, and dopamine that one suffering from depression could only dream of and was, again by miles, the best drug i’ve ever had. December 10th I confessed my attraction and December 11th he told me he couldn’t do anything serious. December 18 I graduated college with a Bachelor of Science in Marketing. December 30th I was not wearing a thing in his bed. These secret hookup sessions happened approximately 16 times (with my notes app log I was keeping) before I eventually had to end things. It became much too painful to be his secret. I couldn’t subject myself to it anymore. *Then came the repressed and suppressed grief for ending things with my ex.* “How could I have been so stupid?” I thought, “..for dreaming so vividly and accepting the visceral sensation of universal love in to my being?” Silly me, this is why we don’t take risks. I could go on endlessly about the ways I mentally and sub-vocally degraded and shamed myself for being so foolishly inaccurate about this romantic ideation, but it’s unnecessary. I lost total self-trust, self-esteem, and confidence. Subconsciously believing I should be punished for making such a grave mistake, I began to see having to live with my mom again as such. I had just graduated college and began what as been an arduous struggle to find a legitimate entry-level marketing job that is not direct sales. This journey still persists. In a total walking back of my limerent fantasies, I somewhat repaired my relationship with my ex, pleading mental insanity, explaining that I experienced what must have been spiritual psychosis. Part of me suspects that could be the case, but my inner child big heart and imaginative mind still feel hope that I could have been right, that I could be saved by our mutual realization of purpose. My fear, or what is perhaps justified rationality took control. No one has cared for me as much as my ex, and to give that away would be downright bad judgement. I couldn't take any more blows to the ability of my judgement, and so I did what I knew would be safe. It is January of 2025 and I feel almost paralyzed trying to decide what to do next. I am haunted by my coworker and my mother. I need to get it together and get a job that pays me enough to move out, but I cannot seem to feel any point to it. I need to regain my light and my strength, but for the life of me, I feel extinguished. What would you recommend?Getting more done and spending less time on repetitive tasks is no longer a fantasy!

Productivity as a senior in college
I (F22) am a senior in college and will be graduating in May. The senioritis is hitting me HARD. I’m not sure how to handle this/combat it since I’m normally a dedicated student. Does anyone have any tips? My biggest issue I’ve noticed is pushing through to get assignments done as opposed to procrastination.Where was the Hatch set located at in Hawaii?
On a soundstage somewhere? Always curious where the actual location of the indoor set was located.Game changer
Had been wanting a shift knob for a while but couldn’t settle on which one. Finally pulled the trigger on the tall tear drop weighted Cobb knob. It’s not as heavy as some of the metal ones I’ve seen, but I didn’t want to have to worry about temperature. Honestly, I don’t notice the weight too much, but this thing just feels SO MUCH better in my hand.
