Hi, just wanted to share this since I originally wanted to only farm with like 3-6 teams max (since there were even gauntlets that I could only do 2 teams). Somehow this gauntlet was easy enough for 19 auto teams to accumulate streaks and farm cookies. Some of them may need to re-try due to the RNG nature of the fights / AI, especially sleep duration for Cobalion, but they have all been tested successfully.
My findings were that AI is really damn bad, and EX / having the right type Gear can reduce RNG and increase success rates. All of my exclusive pairs are 1/5 unless otherwise stated, and free / general pools can be assumed to be 5/5. It was quite fun to come up with these teams so here they are (tactic 1/2/3, difficulty meaning the chance of needing to retry) :
Cobalion: 1) BP Morty / Elio / Silver EX (easy) 2) SS Morty 2/5 EX / Serena / Lodge Blue (easy) 3) Jasmine EX / SS Cyrus EX / SS May (medium) 4) Sonia EX / Ramos / Hilda (medium) 5) Evelyn / Leon EX / Melony EX (medium) 6) Ball Guy / Kiawe EX / N EX (medium) 7) SS Blue 3/5 EX / SS Leaf 3/5 EX / Ash EX (medium)
Azelf: 1) Spring Burgh 3/5 EX / Rachel / Alder 3/5 EX (easy) 2) Holiday Jasmine EX / SS Hilbert EX / SC Ingo (medium) 3) Galar master trio EX (easy) 4) Skyla 3/5 EX / SSR Cynthia EX / Anni Lilie EX (easy) 5) Leaf EX / SS Hau / SST Red (easy) 6) SS Elesa / SSA Cynthia EX / Lucian 3/5 (medium)
Entei: 1) SS Kris 2/5 EX / Marlon / Archie (Easy) 2) Lana / SS Misty / Kris EX (Easy) 3) SC Lilie EX / Kali / Barry 3/5 (Easy, SC Lilie is MVP) 4) SS Brendan / May EX / SS Mina (Easy) 5) NC Calem EX / Classic Giovanni / NC Serena EX (Easy) 6) SC Caitlyn 2/5 EX / Swimsuit Misty / Dojo Gloria (Easy)
I could have come up with more teams (was trying a grass auto team for Entei with SS Lyra 1/5 to no avail), but I got tired of re-trying. Glad to answer any questions or suggestions!

I went on a trip to Myrtle Beach last week and took 36 balls with me. One of those rounds I managed with a single ball, so I thought I did alright only losing 10 balls in 96 holes. Of course three of them were on consecutive shots (yikes!).
What is your average lost ball rate per round? Last year 2-4 per round was expected, this year if I lose two I am annoyed by it, so I am calling that progress.

We’ll be going to Myrtle Beach in July. Are there lifestyle clubs there? I’ve done some rudimentary google searching but want to hear from people that have been.

Hi everyone, I'm your friendly neighborhood suicidal here. Well, I was, I had quite a lucky weekend and it led me to some insights that changed my life. All I want is for you to read this, maybe it will snowball for you like it did for me, and maybe in a week you’ll understand why I felt compelled to write this. You don't have to be open minded, as you read this post, you can even skip to the end if you’re inpatient with the speech, totally fair, I’m very long winded.
For background I've had CPTSD symptoms as long as I can remember. I have had suicidal thoughts daily, I've had attempts, I've done inpatient/outpatient programs, 5 different antidepressants, ADHD meds, DBT twice. I'm fully NC with my parents. And today I would deny it if you asked if I had a mental illness. Not because I'm in denial, not because I don't think I was living in literal fucking hell or because I think you aren't either. I probably could have and still could lose my job for my symptom related problems... I'm a RN but I'll be the first to tell you that I'm very skeptical of the way we treat mental illness in this world. I am not offering medical advice; I'm simply saying this because I've had experience as the patient and as the person handing you your Abilify in the hospital while you wait for inpatient beds in full blown crisis. Point is I fucking get it.
I'll cut to the chase; the short answer is that CPTSD symptoms mean you're closer to feeling better than the people who made you this way will ever feel. Your body and mind know how to make you better, but we've been conditioned to ignore them and listen to the "experts." All of us here will agree that we have unprocessed trauma that needs to come out. We tried everything to process it but all we do is get further and further from processing it. We cope and feel ashamed that we are doing everything right and it doesn’t help. Doesn’t fill the void. I'm going to list how I got here and what I realized to do this. The is a beta test as it were. My goal is to create a "protector" proof way to begin healing, the beginning of a healing avalanche. It's not meant as medical advice, a cure, anything other than a summary of my weekend and the insights I've had. I just want you to read. I've included optional links, there is no right way to read this. I just want you to read what speaks to you and do what speaks to you. If that's going into the comments and saying that this is the dumbest shit you've ever read, I more than welcome that because you’re already a step ahead. You’re giving yourself permission to feel/say what you want to do. If I can just push one person in the right direction then I'm happy and if you hate this entire guide and think I'm the dumbest person ever, that's still a step in the right direction. As you read, I'm hoping it'll make sense.
The boring and short answer that helped me:
IFS, a book, music, and missing my meds. But that’s not helpful to anyone, and to isolate each of those items and say it was any one thing or that this is the cure would be a total lie. First of all, don’t just drop your meds. Second of all, IFS is expensive and hard to find a therapist and many sites warn against independent use in severe trauma. I think these items happened to be a catalyst for me, but they won’t necessarily be for you.
The Longer Story:
About 2 weeks ago I missed a dose of medication and heard a beautiful song on H3 Podcast. A small part of me was just so excited to feel. And it occurred to me that this woman couldn't have made such good music if she didn't feel. What was wrong with feeling? I began to ponder that. Still fully numbed to the world. You see, I spent the last 3 years in an avoidant Effexor haze/THC haze. I had been pondering my CPTSD for so long and I realized I could ponder it forever and ever, but I can't think myself whole. I have to feel it. But then I buried that part. How silly? I knew that part was there, and I knew I was burying it. Why was I doing that? But I started missing my meds more and more. I was opening up to the idea of feeling. I was flooded with suicidal thoughts, and I broke down and called Kaiser despite knowing how much kaiser has triggered me in the past. I needed something bigger and better than CBT/Coping/DBT/Pills. I would not allow them to stop me from feeling. I went off my meds (don't do that without consulting or reflecting first. I just knew it was a personal need and I was ready). And a snowball effect happened. Not because I am magic or stopped my meds. But because the cognitive part of me that knew I needed to feel to get better was trustworthy. A mess of signs in the world were occurring, and as a devoutly non-spiritual person it was clear. It had to be because I actually DO KNOW what's best, and I was choosing to see these things in the world because that part of me has always been there. Screaming for my attention but I wasn't listening. It turns out that I just needed to give myself permission to feel the bad things and that snowballed. But easier said than done. I can’t exactly pinpoint what did it for me, so below I’m going to list the items I used in tandem to warm myself up to healing. There are no right or wrong answers, but I think it would have been very very easy for anyone of these items to fail individually. It came down to a perfect storm for me, but one set off the other and they all worked as a collective. Importantly, there are many things I didn’t do.
What I didn’t do:
Stop “bad” habits: There is a reason I overeat, smoke ‘too much’ weed, oversleep, etc. An IFS model would say there are no bad parts. These things all are done with benevolent intentions. A part of you is putting out a fire. The second you set an intention to stop these habits, a part of you gets very uncomfortable. Honor these parts. You can die a carton-a-day smoker, but if you quit before that part is ready, I think it’s going to become much harder to feel whole. IFS is definitely a great model if you struggle with these things. I’ve now realized that traditional healthcare partially didn’t work because the parts of me are creative and stubborn. Alarm bells go off at the thought of being told they can’t do what they want.
Meditate/”self-care”/Mindfulness: Fuck those amiright? But seriously, after spending decades failing to feel anything positive from these things, I’ve learned it’s because people who don’t actually understand it do a terrible job of teaching this. It’s so isolating to hear that when it’s done nothing positive for you. I felt like such a failure. For me it turns out a part of me is terrified of emotions, sitting in “meditations” felt like torture, I would become so distracted and miserable. The idea of “watching thoughts go by and doing nothing” is less than ideal. It supports the misconception that there are bad or good thoughts or feelings. I’m a firm believer in looking at thoughts. Why am I thinking about hulk right now? What am I afraid will happen if I don’t think about hulk? Same goes for self-care. I think these things are methods we use to avoid feeling what being human feels like. Many of us will find we never felt what it’s like to be human. That’s okay, that part of you is in there.
Therapy: Every therapy session I’ve been to felt like I was just justifying my existence to someone else. If a therapist isn’t open to feeling, you will never get better. They probably don’t know even know they are afraid to feel also. The moment I said to myself “I am suicidal, I want to die. That’s okay. It means I need to fix something” instead of “Oh no I’m sick and I’ll never be happy and this feeling is wrong it means I’m bad.” Again, this all seems silly, its not something I can cognitively get into your head, it’s something you need to feel.
What I did do:
Feel: The simplest, biggest thing. Feeling is being human, for better or worse. I was lucky, I missed meds and found profoundly beautiful music that spoke to me. That may not be your life circumstance and it may not feel or be safe to feel yet. That’s okay. I had no agenda, I put on music I loved and got into my car and just listened to the music. As emotions came up, I just felt them. I KNOW THIS SOUNDS SMOOTHBRAINED! I’m very aware of that. But this is where the snowball happened for me the most. I think it’s important to find music that speaks to you, but my personal example was a little insane. I used to listen to a band called Beware of Darkness. In 2014 they had millions of fans and I hadn’t heard them probably since 2016 or so. When I decided it felt good to feel, even the most hurtful emotions, I knew this band meant a lot to me and the frontman had very profound lyrics and emotionally touching music. I put the band on and just drove, around the block, to the beach, to the carwash. I was feeling, the lyrics were saying everything I’ve been saying my whole life. I felt like if feeling all these things created this art, then feeling these things is fucking beautiful. And the lyrics are very dark, the writer admits to having been extremely depressed for most of his career. Anyway, this is when shit got weird. I had been listening to the music and feeling and reading on IFS, that all felt great. Things were falling into place. But guess what? I found out that this fucker released a book a couple months ago called “Thank God for Depression.” The odds? I don’t know, but the point is: many people will go their whole lives without feeling whole, but we have symptoms guiding us there, many people don’t. A part of you just wants to feel but you’ve been so conditioned not to that you don’t even know how. Deeper parts don’t know it’s okay.
Reading about IFS: I always read IFS was helpful, and I always knew of its existence. However, I never would have been able to really give IFS an authentic chance until I saw a glimmer of hope. I think IFS and music really fed each other into helping me. I also want to give credit to a redditor who posted his helpful website. Much of the information above came from that. The only reason I didn’t just post “why you should do IFS” is because if it were that simple I’d have been cured a long time ago. I strongly believe in IFS for many reasons, but the biggest was that it provided many of the “What I didn’t do” items. Giving up on the idea that I’m sick and need to do XYZ and then I’ll be all better was huge, learning simply that I’m not broken because being sober or skinny didn’t fix anything was also huge. Also, everyone swears their methodology is best and I don’t want to debate that. I think it’s more about the restrictions we subconsciously put on ourselves than anything else, and for me, the idea of jumping into a new therapy or reaching out was not helpful. I also have a tiny thing I don’t love about IFS. It’s easy to get caught up into doing it “right.” I found myself asking “am I blended,” “am I making stuff up,” or “am I even doing this right” too many times. I think if you’re open to hearing what your parts have to say and honoring that then you can get a lot accomplished.
New perspective: Essentially that’s this whole post. I stopped seeing my CPTSD as a bad thing that I have but a blessing telling me how to honor myself and my feelings. And it’s so stupid sounding, but once you get through to enough “parts” or open up enough, quell the doubts, etc, a switch will flip and you will be amazed. It also gave me a spiritual side I didn’t know could exist. I’ve had about the closest thing a person can have to an ayahuasca experience in my bedroom with my computer, spotify, and weed. Because it turned out that a part of me was just scared I would be “cringe” or “lame,” if I felt better. Part of me thought I would be sellout if I healed. Like I’d be less cool, it seems crazy now but it’s a very valid fear. But you know, the lead singer of the band from earlier? He’s happy now and his music has never been better.
And this is where we get spiritual and woo woo and many of you are welcome to skip. But before you do, just know I have always been such a skeptic I didn’t even believe in Santa as a 4-year-old and I never once believed in God. I always thought spiritualism = religion = the cause of so much suffering.
Ayahuasca: I haven’t done it. It’s come up many times in this post though. From a more clinical perspective, ayahuasca can help people access the parts in IFS. I have another post with great discussion in the comments, but I would guess using both Aya and IFS together would have like a 99.9% efficacy rate in CPTSD, however nobody is going to do that research in the states anytime soon. Aside from the whole War on Drugs part of things, I think it would be disrespectful to use this plant medicine without a Shaman who knows how to respect it. But there is a saying “Ayahuasca starts working the moment you answer her call.” And as you read the post, you can see she has been calling me very loudly. Whether or not you believe in that quote, you can’t deny the serious of fortunate events that led me here. 8 days ago someone discussed their experience with Aya on H3 Podcast and the host Ethan played this music that next day. I was tapering my meds and as I mentioned, it felt so good. And that lead to me listening to Beware of Darkness. Who's lead singer wrote "Thank God for Depression". That author in the book? First page he is talking about Aya, the day I put on his music for the first time in years was after hearing that other music on a podcast, the very same podcast where a woman tells the host that Aya has helped her, the very day I missed my meds and first opened up to the idea that feelings are good. It’s turtles all the way down. Maybe you believe it’s more spiritual, but even on a more skeptical level, I made those connections because I knew what would help me. IFS would say it’s “Self Energy,” a Shaman might say it’s the divine, a Buddhist might say it’s enlightenment. But ultimately that’s the goal, whatever you call it. It’s the thing that fills the hole you don’t know how to fill.
Anyway, every second since I've "flipped this switch," "found self," etc I have another "aha" moment. The world makes more sense, the stars align, and I feel grateful for CPTSD. It's easy to tell myself I'm having a manic episode, it's only been a couple days, its the effexor withdrawal. I see how that would be the obvious answer to everyone. It would make sense. But on the other-side. From the perspective I've gained now, I have the hope and confidence to know that's not true. Because I've literally never felt whole until now. And I'm holding onto that wholeness. There is a lot of parts work I have to do, I'm seeing a shaman in a couple weeks, and there's still the economy/state of the world. But I have something to hold onto and just wanted to share it with anyone who wants that too. I want feedback, DMs, etc. I'm a baby in the world of being happy, so I'm not going to pretend I have anything together. But I have the thing and the thing is what matters.
Resources/things I've referenced:
HOLY GRAIL: LEVI you are a beautiful person and this webite imo is the holy grail. Shoutout to u/IntegralGuideAuthor
Thank God for Depression: $10 on amazon, I haven’t even finished it but it’s been a huge source of insights. But it might just have worked because the author is so special to me.
H3 Podcast Clip discussing Aya
Music Ethan played next Day: Very relatable music. “Someone smiled at me today and I cried because I realized I don’t like myself.”- Elizabeth Homes, very new artist and talented foot soldier.
Beware of Darkness: Kingdom will Come: I forced myself to pick one song. If you need music ideas that’s my bread and butter. But this one song says more than this whole post could for me.
REDDIT! All of you were on my mind. All the posts here remind me how I’m not alone in this.
Ayahuasca: DM if you want to talk about this, I haven’t done ayahuasca yet and it would be a bad idea to act like I have. However, if after all this you feel it’s YOUR personal next step, I tell you the information I've found to point you towards a retreat.

So many choices!! I’m trying to pick out some hooks to use offshore on a headboat out of north Myrtle beach. I guess we are fishing about 120’ on a 24 hour trip. I’m planning on using what live bait I can but if not frozen cigar minnows.
What’s the difference between all the different circle hooks? Do I want the same for a chicken rig as a hi/low rig? What about for free lining?
I’m local to NE Ohio & am mostly fishing fresh water, but I try to get to salt water as often as possible.
Thanks for any direction.

No experience necessary for the laborer custodial or maintenance mechanic positions. It helps on the interview but you can surely think of maintenance related experience to relay for an interview. Based on fixing things around your house, the car etc. Always mention working safely.
​
Pro tip: You can apply for any job that has an exam opening and the test is administered local to yourself. Make sure you're serious and score decently; you can turn down the job offer. Keep a physical copy of your exam score, I believe they are good for two years.
The reason is: These job postings can be posted externally at capacity for testing, meaning they will not allow you to take the exam if they have enough qualified applicants. However, if you have a test score on the books, you are a qualified applicant.
​
Explanation of MVO/TTO to save time:
MVO= CDL B Can only drive box trucks on public roads, can drive anything for moves on postal property.
TTO= CDL A Can drive anything.
​
USPS provides the training. (Maintenance jobs at least. TTO and management...GOOD LUCK)

You don't have to be crazy to work here. We'll train you. Everything but proper email usage.

She’s not showing any signs of pain or irritation, but she’s also the most resilient little energy ball. I’m just concerned because who knows how long it’s been there??
I’ve been in hibernation lately so we don’t go many places, or greet/play with other pups much. So maybe it’s a worm thing? We did go to the vet last week because I was worried about her hips (radiograph came back fine), and this wasn’t seen. Her hair is typically quite long, but now we’ll definitely keep it short…
Any clue on what it could be? I emailed the photos to our vet this morning and they were rather “chill”, recommending keeping an eye on it over the next two weeks. I was hoping to board her for one night this weekend to visit relatives, but I’m thinking that’s not a good idea? Thank you in advance 🙏

I showed up in 1987, and he was already the most spaced-out human I’d ever been exposed to.
Gilligan lived in an apartment in the low-rent, Northwest end of town, above 204 and Mariposa Beaches. You’d see him walking along, carrying an old, neon pink, early ’80’s TnC, back and forth to the beaches between Pier and 204’s.
He was really fit, rarely wore a shirt (and never a wetsuit) even in winter. He was perma-tan, always stuck to himself and if you made idle chatter with him, it took only a moment to realize he was pretty far gone.
My first friend in San Clemente was Bill “WD” Woodcock. Bill was raised in the Northwest streets and knew more details than most of the various inhabitants. Bill says “Gilligan’s mom was injured while working, and got taken care of by the State. Doctors had her pumped up on high level barbiturates, sleeping pills, and assorted other over prescribed painkillers. David would mix and match. and crush them up, making his own drug cocktails.”
The result was some sort of hallucinogenic permanent brain damage. Evidentially, according to Woodcock, “He was “into Bathtub Meth, before most people even knew what that was”.
I’ve also heard stores from older locals that David went to San Clemente High, and was a typical surfer. Brian Clark (older SC shaper and shop owner) showed us David’s SC High school photograph. He told us David went crazy eating “wildflowers” along the Trestles trail.
Rumors abound.
In the mid ’90’s, when we started filming the videos, he had gained a lot of weight and became this sort of Cro-Magnum man. He’d have these random, hopelessly too-small old boards, and walk all the way to Lowers, holding them with one hand, by the rail, shoeless, shirtless and hunched over like a caveman. He’d paddle out, catch a wave, paddle out…riding mainly white water waves to the beach.
Then he’d get out, bronze on the beach a bit and walk all the way home. At home, he’d cut them down, “re-shape” them (not so unlike Tom Curren) and do it all again the next day…day after day, until the board was a small as a hand plane.
It takes a good two hours to walk barefoot, along the train tracks, from 204 to Lowers. If you were on the beaches of SC during this era, there was a four-hour window to see him stomp by. Completely in his own world, but if you approached him you could get a few words out of him.
That’s exactly what Brian Meehan did one day. Brian was a good surfer from the area and a primary player in the surf video scene during the 90’s and early 2000’s. One fateful day, during the filming for What’s Really Goin’ Wrong, Brian approached Gilligan, while bronzing after his one-wave Lowers session. The following interview (embedded above) is a thing of legend.
A few years later I rented an apartment right across the street from David and his mother. I’d see him daily at this time. He was grossly overweight, and no longer carrying fragments of a surfboard. He’d walk up to the grocery store and buy supplies for his mother with food stamps. I’d always wave and say Hi, but he wasn’t really talking much any more. “Ok, I gotta go” he must have said every time I’d approach him.
During this time, a friend of mine, Tony Burton, told me and old story: “We were out fishing some kelp beds on our boat. At least 2 miles offshore, straight out from the Pier. It was getting late in the day and we see this big object moving towards us slowly.
As it gets closer, we realize: it’s Gilligan! He’s completely naked, swimming, while pushing a surfboard along, in front of him. His board shorts were up on top of the board.
We called him over to the boat, offered him food, water….a beer, and most importantly a ride in. He turned down everything. “No. Thank you. I gotta go now” and he swam off on his own.”
In 1999, I left the apartments and bought my home where my family lives today. I can’t really remember seeing him again. We all heard about 10 years ago that he had a heart attack and died. No one that I know really knows much more about him, or even his mother.

i found NG this year and was really intrigued! it inspired me and made me want to take control of my life and the 3D so i started practicing.
when i first found NG, i was already trying to work on my SC (i was recently dumped and realized that i had a lot of issues at my core) so i continued focusing on building and improving my SC. i was the type that felt like i had to give everything i could in a rs and in return i’d get the bare minimum and be thankful i even received love. so that was literally what was happening in my previous rs. it was pretty bad looking back.
anyway, once i got myself to a better place in terms of how i viewed myself, i wanted to build my trust in the law. i was nervous but i really believed in it. i started very small. had the urge to manifest seeing certain things before i slept. the next day, i wouldn’t rlly think abt it then i’d see the very thing! this happened a couple of times. at that point, i’d been job searching for 4 months so i did try some techniques one or two times and kinda left it at the back of my mind (because i was so focused on manifesting my ex back) and literally the next week i very unexpectedly landed a job with a salary much higher than i’d imagined. then i remembered that i had manifested that.
i was actually getting frustrated with not having progress with my sp but getting the job offer was like an epiphany for me. me obsessing over my sp and having a lack mindset (i need him i need him) was holding me back. i stopped manifesting 24/7 and continued with my life, not paying much mind to him. it took a few days to fully adopt this new mindset but it was quite apparent when i was able to grasp it. i still remember i was brushing my teeth in the morning, and suddenly feeling this overwhelming peace and calm and a reminder that it is done. i didn’t even relate it to my sp then, i just thought wow i guess i’m about to have a really good day haha. the timeline is kind of foggy for me now but he reached out (we were on serious NC and he told me he didn’t love me or want me or ever want to get back tgt. circumstances truly don’t matter) and we have started seeing each other again since.
though i’ve manifested him back, it has been rocky. i guess it’s because i never gave much thought about what happens after we get back together. i’m suddenly slipping up with uncertainties and doubts which then causes issues in the 3D. i believe this is happening because when i was manifesting a job or my sp, there wasn’t constant feedback and development from the 3D that swayed me. everything i’ve done came quite naturally and happened pretty quickly. i realize i have been living in the “it’s done, changes are coming” and struggling to be in a “it’s done, changes are already made”. when he does smth that i’m manifesting to change, it hits me that my manifestations are not a reality yet and it shifts me to the first mindset. i believe because i’m expecting change to come instead of living like change is already made, it’s causing the resistance for it to manifest. am i right in this conclusion? and if you have any advice on how to not let the 3D affect me, please let me know!

tl;dR How do you go from NC to LC to…whatever is next?
Post history shows details but MIL and SIL overstepped in big ways when DH and I were planning our wedding, effectively making our joyful occasion all about them. There were several follow-on conflicts and I’ve ended up NC other than going to SIL’s wedding last year. I know and accept that MIL is the type to try to control everything and throw tantrums when she can’t and that DH’s family has an odd relationship with the truth. For example, ILs will share some detail about what’s going on in their lives currently w DH and if I ask questions (just being curious and interested) it won’t stand up, the timelines will be off, etc. it’s very bizarre. That said, I think part of the NC on my part is based on anger about what happened and know there will never be remorse, accountability, etc. It feels like saying what they did is ok if I visit, etc. and they are constantly inviting DH and I to visit them at their nearer beach house, etc. I’ve put rules around visits like staying in hotels, not sure how else to proceed since we’d maybe see them 1-2X/year. Also considering what things might look like if we have kids and we let my family stay with us and not them and that shit storm (thank god SIL got pregnant first).
Would I start by saying here are boundaries for relationship w me over email? Would I just go for a visit and establish boundaries as we go? DH is getting better about this but still v uncomfortable.
