2023.05.30 18:36 sskills002 Anyone here using McDSP plugins?
Obviously you hear a lot about UAD, Waves, Fabfilter, Softube, Plugin Alliance, IK, iZotope, Acustica etc. but McDSP seems to be quite a bit behind in terms of being discussed these days.
I tried out the Analog Channel and it seems pretty good, I will need to try it some more though. The tape compression was instantly noticeably compared to most or all other tape machine emulations I've used that don't really have it or as much. Quite noticeable low bump as well. It has a nice sound, but as I said I'll have to keep testing it to check if it's something that will actually be used in mixes. Looks like they go on sale fairly often.
I do hear some good things about the ML4000 here and there but I'm not really one to use multi band compressors or limiters very much.
Also interested to hear about PSP too or any older developers that used to be more popular who seem to have fallen to the way side a bit. Funny we are now getting to this state with plugins.

2023.05.30 18:35 squeezy102 Is it just me, or have there been a bunch of runs this year where the runner is using some kind of mod to help their run?
The current run is CrossCode, and they're talking about the runner developing a mod that lets them manipulate frame rate to do a certain trick.
Earlier someone was playing a game and it seemed like they were fast forwarding using some kind of emulation software.
There was another run where someone was using a manipulated save file for some reason
Idk... am I the only one who feels like this is kinda lame? I just have this idea in my head that a speedrun should be about skill and technique, and if you need to execute some kind of skip or trick, you should be able to perform the inputs naturally. That's like... 90% of the draw IMO is the crazy skill of the runners.
To me, and maybe I'm just crazy, using some kind of assistance or some kind of pre-setup, or some kind of mod to assist the run kinda cheapens the whole thing and makes it feel disingenuous.
Like "Oh I'm gonna beat Super metroid 100% in 25 minutes because I have this mod that doubles Samus's speed and gives me all the powerups and makes all the doors blue."
Obviously that's a huge exaggeration, but that's the vibe I get from it.
Like ok cool I guess but can you do it without the hacks? It feels like back in the day when people would brag about beating a game using game genie.
Not that impressive.
Maybe its just me.

2023.05.30 18:35 cellularapocalypse I made a song / wrote a letter to my BPD self.
Here's the
song- A letter Lyrics- I said shhh Don't look at me like that I've spent 22 years Scaring your demons away It always starts with a father Ending on a lover Everytime you cut your veins out I've been keeping you safer Tryna help you do better Screaming can you be calmer It's your body be kinder Left you naked, like can you put some clothes on? It's a bitter life, so i ask what the fuck you on? Is it pills, is it liquid, wanna smoke some? And that's how you repay me? Wasn't it a favour, look where it got me? You say you meditate, but all you ever had to do was say sorry Do you ever feel lonely? Isn't narcissism ingrained in your brain like a sickness? I been telling everybody how you be checking off your wish list Like she been healthy, she been happy, so you went ahead and fucked it Gave you the world and you dropped it
All you had to do was stay All you had to do was pray All you ever wanted was pain It's obvious you lost the game
So you want them to forgive you Call you by your name, and then don't ever leave you How realistic is calling yourself the monster It's almost like you like it But can't even clean your act up I asked you what is your problem? Is it the people or the bottle Are of scared of being forgotten? Are you afraid of dying? Does it take too much to be fine? Have you ever been happy? Do you think you impress me?
Cry on about the people who have left you Never think about the fact that you have issues

2023.05.30 18:35 FaqirMahm Needing help/advice, for my spouse who suffers from severe depression.
Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read this, and I apologize if it's rather lengthy. My spouse has been battling depression all her life, and did not grow up with very supportive parents. For a little backstory, her mother is extremely religious, as well as has very obvious mental disorders of her own. She's always been hard on my wife growing up, and never really provided any type of love or emotional support, but rather constantly shoving Jesus down her throat all the time.
Her father, was always working, and never really there, so she never really had any love or support from anyone growing up at all. In short, she's an atheist, who absolutely abhors religion, and I cant say I blame her. She and I have been together for well over a decade, and sad to say, I have not been the best emotional support for her either, due to the fact I myself am autistic, and struggle with my own issues as such.
She's been on all kinds of medication, from antidepressants to benzos, and nothing has ever really helped her more than it did harm. She's constantly battling ups and downs of depression, suicidal ideation, is not currently on any medication, and we don't have adequate health insurance to cover any kind of treatment.
At the moment she is overwhelmed, as such, has described to me that shes felt completely disassociated from reality, and doesn't have the ability to feel anything, just completely numb for the last 2 months. I've been searching for ways to help her and get her the proper help, we were thinking about going the holistic route, since traditional therapy and pharmaceutical medicine, has never been much of any help in our experience., but perhaps on a sliding scale.
One of the things I'm concerned with, is that she told me that she feels like she wouldn't be able to be completely honest with a therapist, without being admitted into a hospital. This has already happened to her once in the past, where she had a mental break down, and her parents admitted her into a hospital for some length of time for suicidal ideation.
I expressed to her the need to be completely honest, to receive the right help, and she says that if she told the therapist everything, her suicidal ideation, her plans and methods for killing herself, she would be admitted, and we wouldn't be able to work or pay bills because of it. Which, obviously in my eyes, that all comes 2nd to her being able to recieve help, yet she refuses.
Right now, she says she's fine, as long as she doesn't feel like she's alone in having to deal with everything ie bills, responsibilities, that her suicidal ideation is kept at bay, despite the fact shes constantly disassociated and numb all the time.
Unfortunately, due to my job and responsibilities, I can't always be there with her at home, and there are days when she's home alone off from work. One of my greatest fears, is coming home one day, and finding that shes killed herself, and I would not be able to live with myself were that to God forbid ever happen. Thats a fear I've been battling myself, all the years I've been with her.
I don't honestly know what to do in this situation, I'm trying to find her affordable help, and asking people for advice, and just simply be there for her as much as I can, but I don't know what else to do, I feel powerless. I'm Buddhist, and have tried to invite her to the temple to be in a peaceful setting and around good people, but as I said, she hates religion, and she also has severe social anxiety, and is therefore not open to it.
Any help, or advice you're able to give is much appreciated, and needed. If you guys know any kind of good sliding scale doctor or treatment, or certain methods that I can use to help her etc. Any kind of information you guys can provide will be much appreciated. Thank you.

2023.05.30 18:35 jack112016 Job offer
Hey everyone,
I accepted staff position for Walmart couple weeks ago. I have not received formal offer letter yet. How long it takes to receive formal offer after verbal offer acceptance? Just curious if how long staff pharmacist who recently got hired in Wal-Mart had to wait for formal letter? I was thinking to apply in Walgreens as back-up so I do not have to make decision in rush if I do not get offer letter from Walmart.
TIA

2023.05.30 18:35 whateverok5555555 Should I [24M] breakup with my first ever girlfriend [20F] because she’s my first and I’m her best?
I’ll start this by saying I am…well…was an extremely mentally unwell individual. For 23 years I had panic attacks, that led to confidence issues, that led to an unwavering cloud of depression and loneliness. Because of my panic disorder, I was not able to create relationships with women. This is something I am/was extremely insecure about before this last month of my life. This was all true, until I met my current girlfriend. She was my first everything. First hand hold. First kiss. First cuddle. First everything. And all of those things are amazing and I have extremely vidid memories of those things that I will remember forever.
She is literally perfect. She’s beautiful, smart, with an electric personality. She’s an amazing person who’s been dealt a shit hand in life and it makes me incredibly sad to witness that because she deserved none of the bullshit that happened to her. She has slept with several different people, and had two long-term relationships before me. Unfortunately, those relationships ended poorly because she dated horrible people that hurt her in horrible ways. Expectantly, this changed her perspective on relationships and it gave her trust issues which was something I knew very early on this relationship. She feels extremely lucky to have me because I’m a regular dude that cares for her a lot and doesn’t treat her like garbage. I feel like I’m just doing what a good boyfriend should do and many times my kindness suprises her.
Anyways, I feel like our relationship works because shes my first…and I’m her best. Howver, this is also the reason I feel like I need to breakup with her. And while we are both happy, I cannot shake the feeling that I want a “best”. I wish I could say the same about her, but I wasn’t given this opportunity. 23 is so many years to me, and I feel like I have so much time to catch up on.
I’m learning now, more than ever, that relationships help people grow as people. This is a fundamental truth of life. And my panic disorder robbed me of this opportunity. Even though I really like my girlfriend, I think I need to break up with her so I can grow as a person by experiencing more relationships.
I feel like the longer I’m with her, the more attached we both become which is just going to make the inevitable a more difficult conversation. I just asked her to be my girlfriend 2 weeks ago. I didn’t even know what this meant fully, at the time. I feel like I’m going to break her…and it’s killing me.
I don’t know what to do.
TLDR: At the age of 24, I entered my first relationship with an amazing girl. Our relationship works because she’s my first and I’m her best. This is also why I feel like I need to break up with her. I don’t feel as strongly as she does because it is not possible for me to do so without the experience that she has.

2023.05.30 18:35 FirelordDerpy A speech by Senator Amidala and Senator Faus on Naboo
| A towering structure rises far above the landscape, two large durosteel barrels are pointed toward the stars, around it a series of elegant brick buildings hiding complex machinery and command and control devices. Parked outside, brand new and freshly painted yellow AAT tanks with the chrome accents of the Naboo Security Forces provided a guard for the facility. https://preview.redd.it/3lvxgvnme13b1.png?width=773&format=png&auto=webp&s=29846a700889e3d2928c45dfa8b55669d6286841 Far away on an elevated balcony in the Theed Royal Place, a crowd stares out at the structure in the distance. https://preview.redd.it/s48yca7qe13b1.png?width=776&format=png&auto=webp&s=c5b4e53a3611e4c4ec3209b8a6b6e737990ce14d “Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present Her Royal Majesty Queen Jamilla!” “Thank you Captain Panaka. My friends, one and half years ago my family was thrown out of our homes and marched at gunpoint out of this very city, now thanks to skillful diplomacy it is that very invading force that has given us the tools to ensure nothing like that can ever happen again. And for that, I would like to thank our former Queen and my dear Friend, Senator Padme Amidala!” “Thank you your majesty, part of healing wounds is moving forward, we will bear the scars of the attack for years, but they will only be scars, and we will carry them with pride for having stood together, Naboo and Gungan, we won together. Our cities are rebuilding and we have a military strong enough to ensure that we cannot be threatened again! Thanks to the hard efforts of many in the Galactic Senate, including Senator Faus, we have affected meaningful changes to both better protect all the People of Naboo, and ensure that the Trade Federation will never again bring any world to that point again.” “I am Senator Faus of the Trade Federation, I would like to extend my sincere apologies to Naboo. Viceroy Nute Gunray’s actions were not what the Trade Federation was created to do. His abuse of power and overreach has invited corruption and authoritarianism to enter the Federation. I hope we can work together to get justice and closure for Naboo and rid the galaxy of those who wish to use violence and force as a way to push their political agenda. If there is anything more that I can do for Naboo please reach out to me.” “Would the press like to ask any questions?” “Theed Daily, Senator Amidala how do you feel about Senator Binks becoming Regional Senator?” “Senator Binks and I have had some disagreements, but I wish him well and I know he will do his best.” “Coruscant Times, Senator Faus, how does the Trade Federation intend to ensure that this will never happen again?” “We have purged a lot of the corruption and manipulation that allowed such terrible events to occur! We are striving to be better as what happened was a wake-up to how far we strayed!” “Ladies and Gentlemen, there will be time to ask more questions later, however, the weapon is ready. The Trade Federation has provided a derelict cargo ship, if you will all look at the sky to the left of the Moon.” “Captain Panaka, you may fire when ready.” “Begin countdown.” Across the city a low siren whines slowly and a voice calls out on the intercom. “Defense Cannon Test firing. This is a drill. Defense Cannon Test firing. This is a drill.” Any citizen not already watching rushes outside to watch as the countdown finishes and with two dull thuds the cannon fires, the shots arcing into the sky as a loud cheer erupts across the city. The two shots tear through the atmosphere before a tiny speck of an explosion lights up like a flash of an asteroid, a satellite feed shows both shots hit their mark and in a flash obliterate the outdated cargo vessel. https://preview.redd.it/o4d9q833f13b1.png?width=594&format=png&auto=webp&s=6db6c608a785b4e4ae5c70fc4728625b396e18a5 https://preview.redd.it/u2t4ik24f13b1.png?width=593&format=png&auto=webp&s=6f49a27347d5bfe45791439b236591fe17951781 “Weapon test complete, My Queen, I report that the weapon operated completely as intended.

2023.05.30 18:35 Spiritual_Search6833 19 and pregnant, scared of abortion.
I ended up pregnant after getting a copper IUD. it worked for months, and now here I am. the father of my baby is my best friend who i’ve known for, for about 3 years. we kinda just started fooling around but didn’t want to pursue an actual relationship. i told him, he was freaked out. he doesn’t want a baby but told me he’d never leave the baby, but i don’t expect him to stay. that’s just reality and i know it happens a lot and that men say things in hopes that you’ll change your mind and get rid of it.
but i’m pregnant. and i wasn’t ever sure if i wanted kids due to me thinking i’ll be a bad mom and it’s just scary new territory. but now that i’m pregnant and i’m growing my OWN baby in my belly, i’m thinking differently. i want to know what the kid will be like when they grow up, what gender it’ll be, it’s exciting but scary. i feel a connection to it.
the thought of regretting an abortion and traumatizing myself (i’ve read peoples stories on abortion) seems out of the question. if i have to i will raise this baby by myself and im sure my family will support me regardless but i know i can’t fully rely on them. all my stuff i’ll get second-hand, either from family, friends, or like once upon a child. my job i make kinda decent money so i’ll really for now only be paying for diapers/formula if needed/ and wipes/creams. i have a car too, the only thing i’d really be worrying about is a place to live if my now baby daddy doesn’t want to live together.
i do know how hard it is to take care of a baby to an extent, especially as they get older. you never really know unless you experience it but my sister had an oops baby and she is one of my biggest inspirations. she’s real with it, and i’ve been there when he was NOT in the best mood and i’ve babysat before.
just trying to hear people’s experiences who are around my age or ended up single parents and how they feel about it. looking for some advice too for if i do decide to keep it, im still thinking. i might do adoption too, because i myself was adopted.

2023.05.30 18:35 JohnFromLeland HBS 2+2 Interview Experience and Tips from 100+ 2+2 Admits
Congrats to all 2+2 interviewees! I interviewed with HBS 2+2 a few years back and have since helped 100+ HBS 2+2 Admits with interview prep. Here are my best tips:
Interview Structure
- Interviewer: Admissions staff member
- Length: 30 minutes
- Not blind (interviewer will have seen your application)
HBS interviews are known to be more formal than those at other schools like Stanford. Historically, they’ve taken place on campus, in big cities across the US, or over video call. No matter how you interview, your interviewer will be a member of the admissions staff. Because they are all trained professionals trying to assess you as quickly as possible, you need to be ready for what may be an intense interview experience. Another thing that lends to the more intense nature is that they often test interviewees to see if they will succeed with their case study model, which requires you to pick a stance and defend it.
Tips
- Know yourself well and stand by your choices.
- Prove initiative.
- Show confidence.
- Be ready to explain and analyze key, pivotal points in your resume.
- Understand your industry, its trends, and its current market.
HBS Post-Interview Reflection Essay
- Express gratitude.
- Reiterate interest.
- Highlight specific parts of the interview that you enjoyed.
- Don’t worry about trying to explain an answer that you didn’t feel great about (unless you absolutely bombed a question). Chances are, your interviewer doesn’t even remember that one question that you wished you had answered better, so to bring it back up again is probably not worth it.
Example Questions
- What has been your most meaningful experience throughout college? Why is that meaningful to you?
- Why did you decide to do X in college?
- What would you go back and do differently about your undergrad experience?
- What are you doing during your time between graduation and your full-time job?
- What have you liked about starting a company?
- What would your co-workers at X company say about working with you?
- How have your experiences working at X company been different from working at a startup?
- Walk me through an example of something you worked on in your internship.
- Were you good at your job?
- What drives you?
- What was the interview process like at the company you are planning on joining?
- How did you make the decision to go with that offer?
- What else do you want me to know?
My Personal Experience
When I was invited to interview at HBS, they offered me several interview options. I could interview on campus, in several major cities across the US, or via Skype. All HBS interviews are conducted by a paid member of their admissions team, which is different from Stanford’s alumni interview-style.
When the time came for me to step out and interview, I was very nervous. I was wearing a nice suit and tie, and the whole formality of things was very intimidating. I was taken to a waiting room with ~10 other applicants, and we all waited nervously for the next steps. Then, our interviewers came in and called out the name of the applicant who would be interviewing with them. I was greeted with a smile, a firm handshake, and ushered into a room nearby. The interview started off with “John, it’s great to have you here on campus. We only have 30 minutes, and I’ve already read through your entire application, so we are just going to move right into questions.” No time was given to build rapport or get to know her at all. This was time for her to pepper me with questions and get inside my head as quickly as possible.
If I were to pick a theme for the interview, it would be the question, “Why?” Almost everything she asked was related to the why behind the decisions I had made. “Why did you choose to intern at X?” “What were the projects you worked on?” “Why those projects” “What specifically did you do to contribute to those projects?” “Why did you start X club on campus?” “Why did you choose to work at X full-time?” She even did some fact-checking for some things on my resume (so don’t lie on your resume!). Overall, it was really hard to gauge how things were going because I was the one being questioned. It felt intense, but I was happy with the way I had answered most questions.
My interviewer also asked for my thoughts and perspectives on leadership and some technology trends happening at the time. She pushed me on my answers and challenged me to think deeply. She also wanted me to open up and share my strengths, weaknesses, etc. And she also asked me about the interview processes for landing the internship and job opportunities that I had, possibly to vet how challenging those opportunities were to land. Overall, it was a really interesting conversation but also somewhat stressful.
Hope that helps! Shoot me a note or check out Leland if you'd like additional help prepping. You got this!

2023.05.30 18:34 No-Illustrator-5946 AITA? Is this emotional abuse?
I (21f) and my bf (33m) have been dating for almost two years it started in person and is now a LDR, it hasn’t been an easy ride, as he struggles with substance abuse and depression/PTSD. The relationship started great, I didn’t know about the substance abuse issues until about 5 months in, when I found his stash hidden in the house. After that it was a constant battle of feeling like something was going on, him denying it and getting mad, then me actually finding the evidence and confronting him(queue crying and saying he shouldn’t be alive). This has been going on a majority of the relationship.
Another rough topic is politics, as he is a veteran and leans more towards the republican side, I however don’t necessarily follow one party, I believe in life you should live and let live, so long as no one is getting hurt. However, when politics come up, he tends to get very heated, so I typically ask to stop the conversation, not because I can’t handle it but because I wouldn’t like to argue. However, everytime I get treated like a monster for not wanting to speak about his political views as I view them as a little bit hateful. For context, I grew up with parents who had very different political perspectives from myself, which tends to cause issues, however I love my family and I do not believe just because someone has a different view that you can’t coexist. However, whenever I try to stop the conversation or speak for what I believe in, I’m told that his views are the FACTS, and I don’t do any research, and know nothing about what I’m speaking. It always ends up with him saying I’m hurting him because I don’t listen to his FACTS, and I always end up getting screamed at.
This happened again just last night, he asked me where I wanted to live (I believe this was a trap), the state I said was a democrat state, I’ve lived there, it’s beautiful! However, the fact that it was a democratic state came up and he started to get amped up, I kindly asked if we could stop the conversation and that I didn’t intend to talk politics, but I just got yelled at about how I’m hurting him by not listening to the topic (which I’ve heard a million times), he proceeded to delete the app we use to share location, removed my access to his google (which I look at to make sure he’s not trying to get his hands on substances), and deleted the app we use to communicate. I just kept apologizing because I didn’t know what to do, I care about him and love him so much, but I didn’t know what to say so I kept apologizing. He said we were done, then said he’d take me back if I admit my wrongs, even though I had been apologizing. He continued to text me all throughout my sleep telling me how fucked up I am, and how I hurt him so much and don’t care (mind you I’ve accepted him every time he lied about stuff, and even found him talking to other people, supposedly trying to get substances), I just don’t understand how I’m the bad guy in this situation, I love him and I try to listen to his views, I only ask to stop the conversation when it gets heated, and now I’m getting treated like a monster.
So please, if anyone has any words of wisdom let me know. There is so much that has happened in this relationship, I’ve only scratched the surface. I’m willing to admit my wrongs, so AITA? Is this emotional abuse?

the thought of regretting an abortion and traumatizing myself (i’ve read peoples stories on abortion) seems out of the question. if i have to i will raise this baby by myself and im sure my family will support me regardless but i know i can’t fully rely on them. all my stuff i’ll get second-hand, either from family, friends, or like once upon a child. my job i make kinda decent money so i’ll really for now only be paying for diapers/formula if needed/ and wipes/creams. i have a car too, the only thing i’d really be worrying about is a place to live if my now baby daddy doesn’t want to live together.
i do know how hard it is to take care of a baby to an extent, especially as they get older. you never really know unless you experience it but my sister had an oops baby and she is one of my biggest inspirations. she’s real with it, and i’ve been there when he was NOT in the best mood and i’ve babysat before.
just trying to hear people’s experiences who are around my age or ended up single parents and how they feel about it. looking for some advice too for if i do decide to keep it, im still thinking. i might do adoption too, because i myself was adopted.

2023.05.30 18:34 Efficient_Ad1992 Halloween Ends Novelization - Extended Kill Count
So I'm basically going by the kill count from the novelization and extending some of it. If I was filming Halloween Ends by going by the novel, I would add the deleted scenes for an extended cut. I would also remove Sondra from the movie and have her actually die in Halloween Kills. For example, since Halloween Ends has been nothing but a terrible movie of missed opportunities, here's the kill count which would've been better than what we got if it went by the novel. Let me know your thoughts on this kill count. If you like it, awesome! If you don't like it, then let me know so I can understand and fix the problem.
Ozzy: killed by Michael Myers 🎃🔪
Hugo: killed by Michael Myers 🎃🔪
Jeremy Allen: accidentally killed by Corey Cunningham
Little girl: infected by Michael's evil to kill her abusive father, killed by Michael Myers 🎃🔪
Ryan Couper: killed by Michael Myers 🎃🔪
Kimberly Hart: killed by Michael Myers 🎃🔪
Meredith: killed by Michael Myers 🎃🔪
2 teenage graffiti artists: killed by Michael Myers 🎃🔪
After being dragged in the sewers by Nelson Christopher, Corey encounters Michael and gets infected by his evil.
Corey Cunningham: infected by Michael's evil 🎃🔪
Nelson Christopher: killed by Corey Cunningham
Doug Muleny: killed by Michael Myers 🎃🔪
Reminder: After killing Doug, Michael is no longer staying in the sewers.
Dr. Tanner Mathis: killed by Corey Cunningham
Deb Jennings: pinned to the wall, killed by Michael Myers 🎃🔪
Reminder: Instead of Corey stealing Michael's mask, he uses his scarecrow mask to become his own evil version of The Shape and continues to help Michael regain more of his strength.
Reminder: During the gas station scene, Michael stalks the bullies before he follows them while Corey lures them to the junkyard.
Billy: killed by Corey Cunningham
Stacy: killed by Corey Cunningham
Reminder: Just like in the movie, Corey showed no emotion of Ronald's death.
Ronald Prevo: killed by Michael Myers 🎃🔪
Terry Tramer: killed by Michael Myers 🎃🔪
Margo: killed by Corey Cunningham
Susan (Radio Receptionist): pinned to the wall, killed by Corey Cunningham
Willy the Kid: killed by Michael Myers 🎃🔪
After the radio station kills, Michael and Corey go separate on their own killing sprees.
Joan Cunningham: killed by Michael Myers 🎃🔪
Reminder: Instead of Danny McBride taking a crap outside of Velkovsy's, Michael goes there and stalks Lindsey Wallace and Frank Hawkins. Lindsey heard something outside as she investigates. Out of nowhere, Michael attacks Lindsey as they fight once again like in Halloween Kills. Michael gets the upper hand and kills Lindsey. Frank goes outside and sees Lindsey on the floor. He looks back up to see Michael standing above her. Michael does recognize him from 1978 and 2018. Frank pleads to Michael about his partner McCabe being killed by accident, realizing long ago that he should've killed him in 1978. Just like Dr. Loomis in Halloween 4, Frank shoots at Michael, but he mysteriously vanishes.
Lindsey Wallace: killed by Michael Myers 🎃🔪
Theresa Allen: killed by Corey Cunningham
At his demolished home, Michael stalks 7th graders who are dressed up as him. They try to summon Michael to get rid of the people that were mean to them. Michael does appear as he stands where his sister's bedroom once stood. As the cops arrive, they tell him Michael Myers was here. But he's already gone.
7th Graders: Stalked by Michael Myers 🎃🔪
Reminder: Corey doesn't stab himself in the neck to frame Laurie and his neck doesn't get snapped by Michael. Also, there's a showdown between Corey and Allyson while Michael and Laurie are having their final showdown.
Corey Cunningham: shot twice by Laurie Strode, shot 5 times and fell out of the window of Laurie's office, killed by Allyson Nelson
Laurie Strode: killed by Michael Myers 🎃🔪
Allyson Nelson: injured by Michael Myers, but not killed 🎃🔪
Michael tilts his head as he raises his knife to finish Allyson. He pauses as he hears sirens and walks away, leaving Allyson injured. After Michael leaves the house, Frank and the cops arrive as they find Laurie dead in the kitchen. They found Allyson still alive as they took her away to treat her wounds. As they take her outside the house, she notices Corey gone as his scarecrow mask lies on the ground.
On November 11th, Allyson visits Laurie's grave. Alongside her grandmother's grave are her parents' (Karen and Ray) graves. Behind her, she turns around as Michael suddenly appears behind Allyson, stabbing her in the chest. He looks down at Allyson as he raises his knife. He brutally stabs Allyson to death. The screen cuts to black as it ends with Allyson screaming and Michael's heavy breathing. The screen cuts to black as the Halloween theme plays and the credits roll.
Allyson Nelson: killed by Michael Myers 🎃🔪
Michael Myers: (WinneSurvivor) 🎃🔪
Based on this, which kill count from Michael or Corey should be incorporated the most?

2023.05.30 18:34 padiadi Aussie Auto - Streetsville closing down end of May '23
Hi, I got to know that Aussie Auto in Streetsville (Thomas St & Joymar Dr intersection) is closing down. To anyone who is a regular customer there, do you know if they are simply shutting down, or relocating? I know of some construction coming up in that area, but I have heard of great reviews of that auto repair shop and its disappointing that its shutting just as I was about to try it out.

2023.05.30 18:34 tableau-in-stasis So Matchmaking has a problem if you're unranked?
So I am usually a support and haven't rank up too far on that mostly just to Silver because I'm fairly new to the whole game in general, but I decided that since I've been practicing junker Queen post the healing buff I would try her out in competitive. I was placed for my first six games no lower than Platinum 4 all the way up into diamond three with teammates who kept absolutely losing it over the fact that I don't know diamond or plat positioning because I've never been in those ranks in any role. After explaining the confusion everyone was shocked and there appeared to be at least one other unranked player either in my team or the others which I suppose is overwatches "got to match it" work play. Notably no one step forward and said they were bronze, just unranked. After a few gold games that followed gave up on actually winning for a while and while I was desperately trying I just don't have the game sense yet developed to win so I figured if I just lost enough times I would be placed somewhere and that would fix the problem. Two wins one draw and 15 losses later that is exactly what happened it was placed in silver 2 and the problem ceased to occur. But I was wondering is anyone else experienced this problem when you are first being placed in a role? Because the lowest player is in any of those games were high gold and as an unranked player who continually lost these gold plat diamond games I'm confused as to why me and at most one other person we're the only people at my quote unquote skill division that were being placed in these games. To the point where I started recognizing some high flat low diamond players in multiple games in a row. I picked playing tank over the weekend because it was a low queue time and I figured it was high time I started rounding out my roles.

2023.05.30 18:34 nearlysenior Should this have been a triple play?
This was a slo pitch game but I feel the rules would apply to any baseball/ softball game.
Bases are loaded. No outs. Batter hits a grounder to SS. He throws to 3B for the force out (one out). Then, 3B throws home and tags the runner coming in (two outs). But the runner who was forced out at 3B (runner on 2B at the beginning of the play) continues to run to third and forces a throw from the catcher to 3B, who then tags the runner coming in. He even slid. This is interference and the runner should be out, but he was already out. Is there an out (third out on this play) called for the interference?

2023.05.30 18:33 Designer-Maximum6056 Fnaf 6 should have ended the series or at least the afton saga in my opinion
Idk what the wider community thinks of this given the fact that I don’t usually use Reddit but I think that fnaf 6 gave a satisfying end to the funtimes Michael and Williams stories while elaborating on the more conveluded parts of the lord such as the puppet (who was also given a satisfying conclusion in this game) But then Help wanted happened and undid Aftons punishment ending but still showed a bit of promise in the reveal of Vanny. And then security breach ruined that too. Honestly I’m getting fed up with the series at this point and wanna know if others feel the same way about the ending of 6

2023.05.30 18:33 butwhyismynameunavai Fellow 9's
So after being interested in the enneagram and learning about it for a while ive finally settled on being a 9, but its not really something im happy about because going into this when i was first introduced to it i thought i would be a really cool type like a 6 who is an enigma or a sophisticated 4 but im not really any of that. Im just a 9.
Theres not really much to say about my type or because its mostly known for forgetting itself and choosing to put others needs over my own, and i do understand that your not supposed to like your type but i cant really help but feel slightly repulsed by mine because its just not really that good. There arent many role models who have revolunized the world that are 9's and its kind of just depressing to hear in general how a lot of nines have chosen to live terrible lives all for the sake of keeping the peace.
I dont really want to live like that or be like that because its kind of just sad tbh so i wanted to ask some fellow nines on how theyve decided to go about self improvement to motivate myself.
