Welcome to the Hub Post for the NFL Top 100 Players of the 2022 Season!

METHODOLOGY

Several years ago we made a decision to focus on ranking just the previous season based on feedback. This year we continued that plan and only ranked players based on their performance during the 2022 regular season, since that is an equal baseline for all players. Post Season play was not considered in the rankings which is a continuation from last year per sub feedback. Additionally, we have increased the games played requirement from 10 games to 11, to be closer in proportion to the prior standard of 10 games in a 16 game season.

• Step 1: Getting the list of representatives. That’s what we did back in January. We started with over 100 rankers which led to 54 completed ranking submissions
  
• Step 2: We began nominating players who ranker’s believe should be considered that have played/ a minimum of 11 regular season games. Rankers from each of the represented fan bases submitted nominations for their own teams' players. This ended up being 194 players in total. This took about a week or so and was the only player pool for consideration.
  
• Step 3: The Grind. Once the pool was created, we utilized rankings threads about what tiers each player is in within their position group. Users were to break players into the following tiers for their peers to evaluate: Top 25, Top 50, Top 100, Top 101-125. This is done to give everyone an idea of where each ranker feels a player should be ranked based on 2022 regular season play only. This is an important distinction; if we were to rank players using past performance while projecting their standing heading into the 2023 season, the context would be completely different. Do you think a player who had a down year in 2022 will bounce back to the top tier player he’s been? I’d probably agree. However, that’s not what users were tasked with evaluating. Furthermore, we did this by positional grouping in individual threads; standard positional breakdown was QB, RB, WR, TE, OT, OG, OC, Interior Defensive Linemen (IDL), EDGE Rushers (EDGE), Off-Ball Linebackers (LB), Safety, CB. If most users have a player in Tier III (Top 100), for example, while someone has him unranked while another has him in Tier I, we’ll be able to find out why they are such outliers publicly. This took roughly 2 months, because we want everyone to have a thorough discussion of any questions they may have. It also helps individual rankers visualize where players should land on their own personal lists prior to submitting. It also helps prevent any funny business.
  

NOTE 1: There were no individual player threads submitted by users discussing the merits of players for or against their placement on the list. Users were also required to complete roughly 80% of these tiers prior to submitting their own lists for the overall average. There were breaks built into the process to allow everyone time to do the work and catch up (if necessary) but inactive users were removed periodically. Hence the difference in the total number of people from the start of the process and the total number of submitted sheets.
NOTE 2: No ranker was forced or encouraged to rank a certain numbelimited number of positions on their list based on some arbitrary formula or idea. For example, NO ONE was told they need to limit the number of QBs on their Top 100 list. No ranker was directed to ignore any positional value; users were encouraged to factor positional value as they saw it into their rankings since it is a largely subjective measure.

• Step 4: After discussions were completed, the remaining users submitted their own, personal Top 125 list. Ranking 125 players was done to get a more accurate and fair average, especially towards the bottom end of the list where rankings tend to wildly fluctuate. Users were given over a week to complete their list.

NOTE 1: Rankings are submitted via individual Google Sheets and auto-compiled into a master list. We reviewed each list for outliers with the help of former rankers to catch individual ranks that are far off the players calculated mean, whether intentionally or accidentally. We calculated a mean rank then the standard deviation for each player. After that, we automatically flagged all ranks outside 1 standard deviation to ensure I caught user submission errors using built-in Google Sheets conditional formatting functions. We also flagged ranks 2 standard deviations or more from the mean to ensure rankers intent with their own list. This was done to ensure flags were identified with as little bias as possible. Conditional Formatting formulas were used to highlight cells to verify automatically to remove subjectivity. Users then had the opportunity to correct any submission errors found prior to finishing the list. We used 1 standard deviation in addition* to 2 since some players had large standard deviations and I wanted to be certain I caught actual mistakes. Rankers were only required to justify ranks 2 standard deviations from the players mean; the keyword here being justify as they weren’t directed to correct them. The entire spirit of this list is to take several individual rankings and find an average.
NOTE 2: All rankings will be made public. That may obviously bring some unwanted heat. But we don’t believe in skirting transparency for convenience sake. This was made known in the Call for Rankers and during the ranking process. This sub will only see the ranks for each post during the reveal. The final post - The Post Mortem - after all reveals will have a data dump with all ranks, individual sheets, and outlier ranking data made available.

• Step 5: With all rankings submitted and corrections made, if any, users lists were locked and their submissions finalized as their own. We then calculated an average rank as noted above. Unranked players were designated with a rank of 140 to tabulate the average for all nominated players. Additionally, one high rank and one low rank were removed from each player's tally to calculate the average rank. Players ranked 101-125 in the average will make the Honorable Mentions list while the remaining 1-100 will be the ranked players. Any ties were broken by their average before the one high rank and one low rank were removed.
  
• Step 6: The Reveal… where we are now!
  

For the second straight season, myself and u/mattkud have been honored to run the ranking process. We cannot thank our predecessors, u/MikeTysonChicken , Mister_Jay_Peg , u/Staple_Overlord , and u/skepticismissurvival , enough for building a platform that allows us to run this list as thoroughly and efficiently as we did. I’d also like to thank all the rankers, both the ones that finished the list and even those that didn’t. Overall they did a great job (except for the ones that mixed up Quincy Williams and Quinnen Williams on their ranking sheet)
After three years of ranking myself, I can tell you this is a fun way of spending the offseason regardless of the praise or scorn you get for the list. You get to interact with people and fanbases that you might not otherwise pay attention to, and analyze and watch players who you might know only in passing. Sometimes I say the final ranking isn’t the most important part, it’s about the journey of rewatching all these great players and having a newfound appreciation for them. I know I’ve become a more knowledgeable football fan since I first signed up to join the list, and I’m sure most rankers would say the same.
The rankers had a number of strategies for how they ranked the players and each was allowed to follow their own personal guidelines within the given parameters and as long as they were not simply using derivatives of other outside rankings. Basically, have your own positions and beliefs. As the reveal progresses, the rankers will have the ability to volunteer their player lists for the revealed numbers and/or where they ranked the listed players as they wish and you are free to engage with them.
Lastly, players will be revealed on the teams they played/finished the 2022 season with.

See ya Tuesday for the honorable mentions!

To quickly set expectations, I am a white Canadian male who comes from a family of 8 people total. My little brother just married an amazing young Canadian born Hmong woman, who comes from a fairly large traditional Hmong family. Let me start off by saying, I flew across the country to attended the Hmong wedding and it was my first time ever meeting my now sister in-laws family and her extended family ( maybe 80-90 people), and also my first experience with the Hmong culture. The impression left will absolutely last a lifetime. we were welcomed, fed amazing food , given plenty to drink and then officially toasted as family members and not once did I feel out of place. I am going to try my hardest to honour my now extended family’s culture and my question is this: how do I address my new brother, sister mother and father-in-law, etc.
From what I remember since my name is Dave they will now address me as YeDave and I would be putting a “Da” infront of the brother in-laws name when addressing them?! I wish I was able to remember but I was taking in a lot of new culture with a lot of people around me in a very short period of time. Lol
Im confused, but want to know and at least be able to address people correctly when I see them again.
Thank you for your time 🙏

With the advent of cross-faction guilds, we should be able to transmog faction-specific gear. ESPECIALLY items that are non-horde or alliance themed.
One of the most egregious of mogs is the Monk Tier 21 shoulders. For anyone not in the loop, here is the class color for monks (aka Jade Green) & here are the Horde-exclusive skin on arguably the most popular shoulders for the monk class. There is no reason half of the races in WOW should not have access to a class-colorization of highly popular items.
I know this is irrelevant to many people, especially those who don't care about transmog, but at least look at this through the lens of "the future of the game" and you should agree this change would fit in line with the New and improved World of Warcraft seen in Dragonflight.

Hello! 10th grade student in ontario. This essay is worth 30% percent of my grade and i want to do my best! Please tell me what you think and what you would rate it. I am writing this argumentatively using supportive opinion paragraphs made of subtopic-point-proof-analysis-conclusion method.
** I am worried abt grammar, use of semicolons, and the line "Nature versus nurture is an enduring debate dating back centuries, argued by many famous scientists and philosophers in history - notably Plato and Descartes, who believed that behavior was inbred and organic to human structure. Correspondingly, it can be argued that personalities cannot be inculcated in a person but are innate. " in particular.
​
Nature Versus Nurture
Nature versus nurture is a long-standing debate over the true determinant of how personality is formed and how the human mind works, with nature being the winning force, shaping the fabric of human disposition. In relation to this, the book And The Mountains Echoed, and the television shows Hannibal and Better Call Saul illustrate the following ideas: primal and intrinsic characteristics are unaffected by external influences; personalities cannot be inculcated in a person but are instead innate; people revert to their base instincts when pressed. These ideas prove that in the discussion of nature versus nurture, nature reigns supreme, wielding its power over the fundamental genetic traits that mold humanity and define the very essence of human existence.
To begin, primal intrinsic instincts are unaffected by external influences. Regardless of the strength of the influence or environment, a person’s true nature and hereditary traits will be impervious to change. A compelling example of this can be found in the television show Hannibal, whose title character is a brilliant psychiatrist and a cannibalistic psychopath (Hannibal). Hannibal began experiencing homicidal inclinations at a young age, indicating his nascent psychopathy, which fully manifested when he willfully ate his sister’s remains after her death ("Digestivo"). Despite later being adopted by his loving uncle, studying fine arts and medicine, and living the rest of his adolescence in the lap of luxury, Hannibal’s urges were ineffaceable, and he used his anatomical knowledge as a tool to kill and consume more people ("Oeuf"). Despite genuinely loving his sister and mourning her after her death, Hannibal could not deny himself his inherent psychopathic urges and consumed her. Though he eventually left his home to pursue his studies and escape growing suspicion from local authorities, changing careers from surgery to psychiatry and experiencing different environments, he remained unchanged and guiltlessly continued murdering and cannibalizing peers and strangers alike. Although Hannibal’s love for his sister was genuine and he was well cared for by his uncle, his surroundings and influences could not suppress his innate psychopathy and character, exemplifying the power that nature exerts over fundamental human traits.
Nature versus nurture is an enduring debate, argued by many famous scientists and philosophers in history - notably Plato and Descartes, who believed that behavior was inbred and organic to human structure. Correspondingly, it can be argued that personalities cannot be inculcated in a person but are innate. Human personalities are passed down through generations through genetics and are unshaken by outside pressures. This can be observed in the case of Pari in the novel And the Mountains Echoed. Pari was an Afghan-born girl who was adopted away from her village by a wealthy family and taken to France, all at a very young age (Hosseini 90). Pari’s adoptive mother was a rebellious, troubled, and romantic woman, as well as a talented poet; traits she tried to instill in Pari, who rejected the influence and grew into a humble and family-oriented individual, aligning with the characteristics also exhibited by her biological brother (Hosseini). Though Pari had no memory of her childhood in Afghanistan or of her birth family, she still developed personality traits similar to them due to their passing down through her genetic lineage, leading her to develop her identity and resist her adoptive mother’s attempts to alter it. Pari’s experience supports the claim that personalities resist external influences because they are formed from inherent and natural traits, which hold the most power over the formation of human temperament.
Finally, people revert to their base instincts when pressed. An individual’s base characteristics and natural traits will present themselves in moments of stress or when making snap decisions, often overriding learned behaviors and other external factors and influences. Jimmy "Slippin’ Jimmy" McGill, from Better Call Saul, is a perfect example of this: a clever scam artist turned corrupt criminal lawyer. Jimmy strived to be a law-abiding citizen and uphold a moral code (Better Call Saul) but often manipulated courts, clients, and evidence if he felt it necessary, resorting to immoral schemes and deception when pressed, as he learned to do during his time as a con artist ("Fall"). Jimmy’s instinctual responses to challenging situations voided his attempts to improve himself, instead proving his unchangeability to his loved ones, who correctly believed he could not overcome his nature. Jimmy’s inability to truly alter his innate instincts demonstrates the sheer strength of nature.
As evidenced in Hannibal’s, Pari’s, and Jimmy’s experiences, base characteristics are unaffected and unsuppressed by external influences, as are personalities, and these fundamental character traits always rise to the surface in a person when pressed, thereby proving that nature, thanks to its power over the underlying genetic features that shape people, overpowers external factors and reigns triumphant in the age-old debate between nature and nurture. Humanity is formed by the hands of nature, with biological factors predominantly molding human disposition and the way the human mind functions.

I (34/f) have been having very disturbing dreams about my sisters ex-husband. For context, he (Jackson) is in his late 30s not much older than me and my sister (kiera) is 2 years younger than me. They’ve been divorced since 2016. Before the divorce, I used to sleep at their house for a night or two whenever I would visit. He would usually be out of the country for work so Kiera and I had the house to ourselves most of the time. When I first met him, I disliked him right away and he didn’t like me either. That was the first time that’s ever happened to me so intensely. He would barely say a word to me when he was around and made little to no eye contact. He was very judgmental. I could tell he looked down on me bc I was still attending college and was living a life that would be typical of a college student instead of having a career. I was 24 at the time and I was insecure about that. I really disliked him mostly for how he treated my mother. He would ignore her calls and texts when she would wish him happy birthday or congratulate him for a promotion or just saying hello..whatever. Whenever we would visit he would go in the bedroom and not come out. Whenever we would leave I would get a text from my sister apologizing but then saying that me or my mother did something he didn’t like for example I didn’t ask him or my sister if I could have a glass from the cabinet before getting a drink. “I just helped myself.” Our family doesn’t ask for permission for things like that so I didn’t know that’s how it was in my sisters home. Anyway, they were together for a year and then she was pregnant, they moved into a bigger house and 9 months later, my nephew was born. One day I’m hanging out with my friends and I get a text. It’s from Jackson. He asks if he could call me. I was worried about Keira so I say yes. He calls me and says he’s been drinking. He says he on the front porch and Keira is asleep. He tells me he thinks she’s drinking and hiding wine bottles from him and he has to leave the country so now he’s worried. He said would feel better if I were to stay at their house for a week while he’s away and watch her. I said of course and I went to the house. He left before I arrived and my sister was happy to see me and of course I was happy to see her and my baby nephew but at the same time I was scared that she wasn’t doing well. Turns out she was suffering from postpartum and she had been drinking and taking anxiety medication. I was very worried and I texted Jackson saying she’s not doing well and she needs him there and yes she is drinking. He comes home. When he gets back, he says I’m welcome to stay as long as I want and is acting completely different towards me. He is nice, generous, and protective even. The 3 of us ended up drinking wine after she put the baby down bc it was Valentine’s Day and I had just got into a fight with my ex boyfriend. I’m not proud of drinking with her when she had a problem but I was also very immature and I was going through a lot of trauma at the time. I figured if Jackson were to talk to her about the drinking and lay down the law, I would be there to be a support to her and help with the baby while she sought help. So this night Keira became very intoxicated very quickly and went to bed. Jaxson helped her up the stairs and I figured they were going to bed so I started to clean up and turned the lights off. I’m in the kitchen on my phone about to head to the couch a few feet away to lay down. That’s where I slept when I was there bc the guest room wasn’t done yet. Anyway, I hear Jackson walking down the stairs and I figured he’s just getting water or something and heading back up. He ends up getting a drink and standing in the kitchen and starts talking to me in the dark with just the lights of the television and my phone. He asked me if Keira cheated on him. I said of course not. He asked again. Then he asks me if my sister is a lesbian. I laughed and said no.. and I said I’m going to bed. He’s getting closer to me and he’s smirking now. He’s very close to me and he asks me if she ever told me about his penis and he leaned in almost touching my face with his. I said no we don’t talk about things like that with each other. He proceeded to ask me something. Else inappropriate and that’s when I heard Keira who was at the bottom of stairs say “my own sister!” She was very upset and still very drunk. Jackson took het back upstairs and I figured we’ll talk in the morning when she’s sober and I’ll let her know nothing happened but he was asking me weird questions. I get ready for bed and go to the couch. Some time goes by and I’m still awake. Jackson comes back down again and sits on the couch next to me. He tried to continue with the weird questioning about what I know about him and their sex life and his penis. I was admittedly laughing it off in the beginning in the kitchen but now I’m just annoyed and I tell him I’m tired and I need to sleep. He retreats back upstairs. I go to sleep and I wake up to him staring at me from the chair in the living room. I’m in and out of sleep but I could hear him shushing the dog and baby telling them to let me sleep. Nobody spoke about that night. Jackson continued to be nice to me and my sister was acting like nothing happened. Cut to the divorce. My sister had been in a dark place. She found out he was cheating on her and he divorced her and left her and my nephew to go be with this new girl in California. One day Keira was having a particularly bad day and she accused me of sleeping with Jackson. She claimed she saw it. I told her that he was very close to me and the lights were off but nothing like that happened. She was just getting angrier and angrier at me each time I would tell her a detail. I felt like I did something wrong. She ended up chasing me trying to punch me. I hid in a room and she was banging on the door for me to come out. The next month, on thanksgiving she got drunk while I baking the Turkey and she attacked me. I had a black eye and bloody nose. For years she would tell people that I slept with her husband and that I’m disgusting. Now, I have dreams that he’s inside me fucking me really hard like an animal and exploding inside me. The dreams always start off with me laying on that couch asleep and him touching himself. Then the atmosphere changes. The last dream I had I walked into the forest and he was hunting. He killed a deer and then started slicing it open and spilling its guts all over. He’s covered in blood and he spots me. I walk to a little shed and I am completely naked. He comes in bends me over getting blood on my back and ass. He pulls down his pants and fucks me from behind I feel him twitching inside me so I start to tighten my grip and he cums. Why is this happening? Is it possible that I did sleep with him and have absolutely no recollection of it? I really don’t think so but these dreams happen every so often and it’s honestly gross and I end up feeling sick with myself.

I have a friend the same age as me (born 2007) who I’ve known for a few years. When we first met they were energetic, nice, comforting, respectful and seemed passionate about things they cared about. They weren’t the best student but they were an average student who went to class regularly. At the end of 7th grade they got a partner who was a drug dealer and started smoking a lot of weed, which is not at all legal where i live. I personally didn’t have a problem with it because i am actually pro-weed i guess you could say. Though i support the legalisation of weed i myself do not want to take any form of drugs. At first it started with weed but it kept going and in the end they ended up taking many other drugs like LSD, Cocain and other things i don’t remember the names of. During that time their personality started slowly changing and at one point i too tried smoking weed because i felt like i had to if i wanted to continue being their friend and for them to wanna hangout with me. It got a little better when they broke up with their partner and they were sober for multiple months and they seemed happier. But then 6-8 months ago they started taking drugs, smoking and drinking again. Their parents found out and they have to take drug tests but they drink some vitamin C thing which makes the test say negative. They aren’t doing many hard drugs but they smoke a lotttt of weed and like before, that’s become the only thing they can see and care about. They even stopped going to school and are failing most if their classes. Their personality has done a whole 180.
Anytime we meet they don’t care about anything. When i talk about any topic that isn’t drugs,alcohol, parties or cigarettes they seem annoyed and like they truly don’t give a fuck about me. Sometimes they have bursts of anger about something i say and it’s so unlike the person i befriended in 7th grade. The more i met them the worse i started to feel about myself and i started doing things to please them. I didn’t feel like their friend, i felt like a problem. I come from a bad household and due to me trying to commit suicide, i had to see a therapist and was diagnosed with depression at just 12 years old. I also got diagnosed with autism and adhd so i got adhd meds. When my friend found out they begged me to give them some of my medication but on that i stood my ground and refused, which they were mad about. It kept going on like that and at one point i was crying myself to sleep often because i felt so bad about who i was, my personality, the way i talked, my looks, my interests, my opinions, my dream work and just so much more. And it was all due to my friend who would put me down and almost judge me instead of supporting me. Once again i felt like i needed to change myself in order to please them. So i started smoking weed with them because those were the only moments they seemed happy to have me around. Eventually i realised it wasn’t who i am and 2-3 months ago i started distancing myself from that friend. (It wasn’t even difficult because for the last 2 years i was the only one starting conversations, supporting them and the only one asking to meet. So all i had to do was to not be the one initiating contact. And voila, silence.) And the first month i felt absolutely horrible and lonely but these 2 months after that, oh my god. My self esteem has gone thru the roof and i am so much happier and just, i feel lighter(?). Like something thats been weighing me down for so long has been lifted off my shoulders. I can finally say “I like myself.” and actually mean it.
The problem is i feel guilty like, leaving my “friend” behind. I don’t know if their change in personality is because of the substances they take or due to just growing up and changing. They still live a relatively okay life with a home, money, many other friends who all also take different substances, but it’s just not the same person with the same values that i knew for those first few years. The one i used to know treated people nicely, with respect and with decency. I want to help them realise they might be going down the wrong road. But at the same time i want to put me and my physical and mental health first, which I haven’t done in a long time. I haven’t felt this happy about myself or, anything, since i was a young kid and I don’t want to go back. Am i in the wrong for not continuing the friendship and for not continuing trying to help them?
(There are MANYYYY other things they’ve said and done that i didn’t include cus it would take 9h to read but trust me, there is a lot more to it.)

Let’s face it: teenagers are idiots. They haven’t had enough life experience yet. I’m sure most of them don’t even give a shit about politics. Their brains are still developing. I know when I was 18 nobody I knew gave a shit about politics or voting or anything, the most they do is blindly lean towards whatever is trending without learning information for themselves. I’m 21 and sometimes even I think that’s too young, but it’s a lot more reasonable than 18. Especially since they can’t even drink but you let them decide the future of the country? That’s completely absurd. And there’s people out there who seriously believe it should be 16 instead.
Everything should just be 21. 18 year olds can’t even do anything besides vote and enlist. I know they’ll never raise it because they want the troops young and dumb so they’re easier to brainwash.

I'm originally from Africa but moved here when I was very young. I've noticed one thing many immigrants here dislike about Irish culture is the drinking.
I drink like my native Irish friends but growing up, my parents rarely drank. The same thing with my extended family.
One might think it was because of religion but my family is pretty much non-religious. I find that alcohol is less socially acceptable in African society and they would scoff at the idea of letting teens have some wine while underage.
I was wondering if this attitude is the same for other immigrants in Ireland.

GHOULS GAME (English version)
https://youtu.be/CroAu_L18fw (Sotnik-TV Live)
The games of the ghouls always end with the expansion of the cemeteries. Belarusian dictator Lukashenko cynically stated that Ukraine should have been attacked earlier. This wailing of the ghoul sounded against the backdrop of another night rocket attack by rashists on Kiev, as a result of which three people were killed, including a child born in 2012, and 14 people were injured ...

Jesus and Muhammad could be the most famous historical examples of Targeted Individuals. I have a very detailed opinion about these two people of my own after 3.5 years of this 24/7 torturous TI experience, but I would like to hear what other TI’s on OTIR have to say.
I will say that as I was drafting this, the V2K/voices came back and said “we do not love humans, we love ourselves” and then they hit my head with something like a DEW. Like the flick of a switch, I got this vibrating hum, plus a high pitch tinnitus signal, with the feeling of my head being pressurized like on an airplane but much more profound. Felt like a force field around my head and then the voices said “how’s your head” mocking me. Now my heart is racing. I can provide a unique perspective on the events in the New Testament, but before I do I would like to hear from the others on OTIR first.
Thanks

I (24F) married my husband (28M) about two years ago. Our marriage itself is pretty good. We don't fight, go out for dinner occasionally, etc. But, his proposal and our wedding weren't exactly what I wanted. I'm not one for expensive, flashy things. But these once in a lifetime events just felt... unmemorable?
For our proposal, he tried. He really tried. But I should have given him ideas of what I would be happy with. He took me out kayaking on an ordinary day to a famous landmark in our region. It was a windy 2 hour paddle just to get to the dang thing. Halfway through, I asked if we could just go back because my shoulder was in pain trying to keep the kayak straight. He insisted, so we kept going.
When we got there, it was littered with loud, drunk people on boats. Some were making comments at us, as drunk people sometimes do. He paddled us off to the side, just out or range of the pontoons full of drunk middle aged men blasting 70's rock music, and handed me a ring box and just said "Hey you, marry me?" I was happy in the moment, but looking back it just makes me sad. I couldn't even look directly at him because we were in a 2 person kayak, and obviously no on-one-knee gesture. I looked terrible because I didn't expect anything, and the only pictures we have are bad selfies with sunscreen on the lens.
Our wedding was a compromise between what I actually wanted and what our parents wanted. I would have preferred to do a courthouse wedding, just us, and go somewhere nice and have professional pictures taken. My husband doesn't really care, he left everything up to me.
But, courthouse isn't "fun for the family," so instead we had a small wedding with parents, siblings, and grandparents. My mom insisted I wear more makeup than I wanted (normally, I wear none), and that I don't cut my hair short beforehand. In half of the pictures, my face looks almost orange because it was too much for the lighting, and I don't feel like I was "me" with the long hair (I've since cut it chin-length, and considering even shorter).
I know these things aren't really my husband's fault, but I still can't get over it 2 years later. I think about it occasionally and just feel disappointed the rest of the day. I just don't know how to get over these feelings, since I can't get a do-over.
Tl;dr Proposal and wedding weren't really what I wanted, but there's not much that could've been done otherwise. I don't know how to get over being disappointed about it since I can't re-do it how I would've liked it.

I started playing elden ring a while back without any dark souls experience. I love sekiro and blood borne but never made it around to any dark souls titles. So I did a lot of Googling about stuff on elden ring that may have been obvious to DS people. The general consensus at that time was to stop leveling your character somewhere around 125-150 so that you maintain a lvl close to the average end game elden ring player. The best rune farm at the time was luring a chicken off a cliff over and over again for around 10k runes per chicken. Using this method would get you to 150 eventually but it was a grind. Now that the game has been out a while there are glitches and exploits and stacks of 99 lords runes that have effectively retired the chicken and there are a lot of people running the game at max level and minumum effort. To me, balancing your damage, equipment load, poise, hp, defense, and whatever else Im forgetting are core mechanics of the game that everyone approaches differently thus making your character unique to you. At 700 we're all playing the same character. The new exploitive meta is to get your character to 713 as soon as possible and try to see how high up the NG tiers you can make it before your training wheels break. Max lvl on your 1st or second playthrough isn't any different than the game having an unintended easy mode. Thats my thinking anyway. If you made it to the end of this you either like pvp or you have a lvl 700 character who doesn't appreciate my videogame ethics.

Hello Algofam,
We're in the depths of the bear market. Take a deep breath. Take multiple. Get some sunshine. Eat a nutritious meal. Watch a good movie.
At times like these it's important to try to maintain perspective. Step away from charts for awhile, setup a buy order and walk away, or hold what you have and keeping experimenting with DeFi and governance.
This is a time for building. Not just in the Algorand community, but ourselves as well.
In the last 48 hours I have started to see many people struggle with the psychology of such a prolonged market and this double bottom, the first being in December.
Understand the market is hugely based on psychology, and the pain is meant to break you. Don't let it.
Algorand is currently ranked #42, below ApeCoin, and above The SandBox.
Doesn't this make you chuckle a little bit? It's all rather absurd. The purely speculative scam coins above ALGO. All the garbage in the top 50.
Remember REAL important use cases are being built on Algorand. These things take time. Tokenized real estate, The Central Bank of Italy Digital Gaurantees/Bonds, India T-hub/Health records, Kare Wallet for the RedCross, Hesab Pay for Afghanistan. Nigeria digital identity solutions. These things are real but take time.
I'm so excited for node incentives and one click node participation. Algorand just needs time to ripen and it's taking its time but once all the pieces are in place it is a top 5 blockchain. I love Algorand and I love this community. No amount of price action is going to shake me out. The fundamentals are still there and stronger than ever.
I will leave you with a quote from Epictetus, the great Stoic slave:
"Nothing important comes into being overnight; even grapes or figs need time to ripen. If you say that you want a fig now, I will tell you to be patient. First, you must allow the tree to flower, then put forth fruit; then you have to wait until the fruit is ripe. So if the fruit of a fig tree is not brought to maturity instantly or in an hour, how do you expect the human mind to come to fruition, so quickly and easily? Don't expect it, even if I were personally to tell you it was possible."

I’m 29 (F), my husband is 45 (m) and he has a 7 year old son. We got married a few weeks ago and chose to have a symbolic wedding for now and decided on having a civil wedding in the future.
I met him when I was 21 years old. After 3 years he realized he was all in - this meant introducing me to his son. For context, the mother of his son and him broke up before he was born and had a toxic relationship prior to that. They didn’t plan on getting pregnant together, but it seems like she hinted at wanting to get pregnant until it happened. Due to the volatile and negative nature of their relationship, he called it off and they have never been together again except for one or two hookups they both regretted, allegedly. They never set up any kind of custodial agreement but he always makes a great effort to see him, pays for his very expensive private school, sends her like 3x the recommended child support and whatever additional costs she may ask for. She had been telling him for years that she would be very accepting whenever he started dating again, even inviting his girlfriend to family gathering etc. When he told me this information I believed it.
When our relationship began to get very serious, he decided he would give her a call (i thought this was weird as fuck) and let her know he would be in a serious relationship and their son would potentially meet me soon and she started bawling. A couple of months later, he introduced me to his son and that’s when shit hit the fan. His son apparently had a wonderful time with me and went home to tell his mom about it. She would not let him see his son for weeks and when she finally allowed him to see him it was only close to her house or under the premise that my husband SLEEP OVER her house, nasty drunk text messages, emails and called with disgusting insults constantly, told her entire family that I’m a stripper or sex worker (nothing wrong with that but I’m not either), and convinced her son that I might be a pervert. After six months, she began to let him come over but he was scared of me, wouldn’t sit on the same couch as me, would act out constantly, it took him years to give me a hug (something he would give strangers constantly), he would think I was randomly going to barge into his room or bathroom, or repeat the nonsense his mom would tell him to scare him or make him hate me. All the while she was still drunk texting/emailing/calling calling my husband a piece of shit, midlife crisis, pedo, pervert, psychopath, coward etc. and still sometimes does this. (It’s been 2.5 years since this began)
I was patient and understanding the first year, respecting her boundaries as extreme as they seemed, and giving my husband the space to figure out what he wanted to do. But sometime around the 2 year mark when I saw the same cycle of abuse where she treating my husband like shit, talked horrors about my husband and I without regard of how it would affect their child, and then ask for money or leave him for 6-10 days at a time when she feels like taking a break from motherhood - I lost my patience, with both of them. I decided that I needed to ask him to set certain boundaries for me to feel safe in this relationship and I believe that having a custody arrangement would be the best for all involved. *not to mention we live in Florida where she can just up and leave at any point with her child .
After months of arguing about it, he told me he would do it - he showed me emails between him and his lawyer and between him and the mother of his child. I trusted his word, I had no reason to believe this was a lie. However, weeks after our symbolic wedding I am realizing that this was a big sham.. he never planned on actually filing for custody, he was just pretending to shut me up and even admitted to it. He blatantly tells me he doesn’t believe this is a lie at all and it’s not my problem. I’m livid and I told him until he figured out his custodial agreement I will not feel comfortable having a civil wedding. AITA?

Hey Daddit, so I have a question for y’all. I have two incredible young boys, ages 3 and 1. I love these two dudes more than life itself, working from home since they’ve been born due to covid has been the GREATEST thing to ever happen to me, I love being their dad and watching them grow and learn and become their own little people. My 3 year old, our first, is legitimately a spitting image of me down to his personality, quirks, looks, etc. even so much that he inherited my difficult tendencies I apparently had at his age lol. This has caused a lot struggle and triumph between he and I, where it’s hard to help him through his emotions but so rewarding when things click for him because of the effort. Because of this, I have an incredibly strong bond with him. Our second on the flip side is a spitting image of my wife, even down to looks and behavior. He is as easy as they come, always happy and always goes with the flow. We got lucky that we get to see this dynamic. However, because of my bond with our first and, and the fact that he’s so interactive now and can have convos, learn, is able to experience so much more with his level of maturity, I feel like I’m not giving my second child the attention he deserves. I think the bond isn’t as strong either because my second is so easy to deal with that the “squeaky wheel gets the grease” situation happens frequently too.
If you’ve felt this way, how do you deal and make sure both kids get equal and adequate attention? I love both kids so much, but want to ensure our second is getting all the attention we’ve given our first.
