This is just where I put them, I honestly don't have a concrete answer so I'm actually WAY MORE interested into what other people have to say about their personal list.

1. Merlin. Idk what to really say about this one.
   
2. Gowther. Is basically a super computer.
   
3. Meliodas. Very knowledgeable, acts clueless and dumb to make people think he's not that smart. While I don't think he is as smart as the previous 2 from an IQ perspective. Meliodas is really tricky and is someone that will pull the carpet under you without you even realizing. (Maybe I'm just that dude that super overrates him)
   

(I think the people from 4-6 can be switched at any time, but they have a gap between them and the top 3)

1. King. What's holding him back (this much) is him letting his emotions take control in the series. (Like he almost got everyone killed when Chandler full countered his track while gowther yelled at him to not do it) I think the mael fight proved that he finally got over it, but even then, I would still personally still put him at number 4. The gap is just going to be smaller.
   
2. Ban. I think he is in a similar case where he "acts dumb", but I think he does it to shield his harsh upbringing and pretend he "is happy" with just booze. When ban is serious, he is a lot more different than his "carefree" mode, I'll say that much.
   
3. Escanor. It feels weird to put him this low because escanor is not stupid. In battles, he had the luxury of just pressing "w" at people because he's that strong. So it's more of a "he doesn't have to think" vs "he can't think so that's why he holds "w"". I just think he's average (or slightly) from an IQ perspective. Probably just in the 100 IQ range. I just don't think he has any impressive 300iq+ moments in the series.
   
4. Diane. (Unfortunately, this is another list where Diane ranks list LMAO) Slander aside, I think Diane is the "7th smartest" rather than just dumb. She is naive from my pov and I don't think naive = stupid. She is aware of things happening, but that just doesn't make him smart. I think she still matters because she has moments like baiting melascula in so she can hit her in that fight. She was the one who broke gowther out of that loop, and she didn't use her IQ to do it. While this is not really a 300iq+ feat, I think giving this to her as an emotional IQ would be fair (imo). But she also have some derpy moments like "helping" Elizabeth get her memories back (not completely her fault, but she is part of it, not knowing the consequences that is).
   

I made a character and this sotry for star wars (i made this story for my English finals, i had a month to make it and got an A on it), the characters name is Saya Eban and is a character I have been thinking of for over a decade now (im not in my 2nd decade so since i was super young). Saya at this time is 13-14 years old and was given inspiration by almost all the other jedi and also star killer. He is human and with reliance on the force he can live up to 1000 years with hi peak being between 35, 40 ish to around 800 years of age. In terms of prime power level and potential, in my canon he is 3rd most powerful character just underneath luke and anikan Skywalkers, but could contend with them at some points. Little background: he was a prodigy in school before he became a padawan, he always had an intrest in a character named Ahsoka Tano but never became more than friends because of the Jedi teachings. He was a fast learning youngling and became a padawan earlier than most other younglings, becaming a padawan at the age of 11 - 12. He was in the first battle of Genesis but his troop transport ship was blasted out of the air, landing behind enemy lines leaving him the sole surviver, and scarring him, making him want to never see uneeded bloodshed ever again. He met Count Dooku before he had met Obi-Wan and Anikan on geonosis, he locked blades with him once... once, before he was thrown aside like a house fly, not worth his time, he was out until the retreat of the battle was initiated. This gave him night terrors and nightmares, after this day he could never sleep more than an hour, if that, before he woke up feeling the dark side creeping in. So he had learned to use sleep meditation. Sleep meditation allowed him to accelerate his trainings and connect greater to the force, he had unlocked 1/3 of his life now, the force helping his cells heal his body while he sat and meditated.
This story is of how he lived through one of the bloodiest battles and worst losses of the Republic, the battle of Sarrish, and of how he had obtained his later main star ship, a Kom'rk Mark 1 class star fightetransport, aka the Puro (i made this story before I have watched the 3rd season of the Mandalorian, as of right now i still haven't so Idk if thats in season 3 or not).
There is about 11,340 words in the story, and I don't 100% know of what I should make him look like so have your imaginations run wild.
Ok here we go:
Tales of Saya Eban's Puro
Chapter 1

 The battle of Sarrish was one of the worst battles of the Clone Wars, it was a great devastating loss to the Republic and the Jedi, and I was in the middle of it all. Before the battle I was doing some touch-ups on my A-wing Fighter. I had managed to get my hands on a hyperdrive that would fit in my small fighter, although being able to enter hyperspace without an external hyperdrive wing is very convenient, fast, and easy, it does slow my fighter and hinder some mobility, but not an uncontrollable amount of loss. Little did I know it'd save my life later that week. After I had finished my work, gotten it restocked for my next battle, I was called to the Jedi command center for a briefing by Master Yoda, saying it was an urgent mission and I was needed now, with his backwards way of speaking annoying me slightly. In a flash, I had gathered my battle ready loadout and headed off to the command center. When I entered the command center with the center planning table showing starships from both Confederate and Republic sides, One chasing another. I look and see Masters Yoda and Windu and a holoprojected Obi-Wan Kenobi surrounding the Table, with deeply serious thoughts in their eyes, fingers on their concentrating chins. When I swiftly strolled in, I was greeted with Master Windu's cheerful, but serious voice: "Ah, Padawan Eban, good you're here, come quick, we must act with persistence if we want to gain an upper hand in this war." "Master Windu, good to see you, you too Master Yoda, Master Kenobi, what's the situation?" Master Obi-Wan states, "We are currently chasing Separatist forces to the planet Sarrish and we will need some back up, could you bring your part of the 104th battalion right away, we have heavy casualties and they're going to have reinforcements when they reach the planet." "Is there not anyone closer than me, it may take a few days for me to get there, yall mabe finished by the time I get there!" I said with hope in my eyes. "I'm afraid that you're the only one that is available with the most minimal time of arrival, you'll have to be quick though, it will be anytime now they will reach the planet and have reinforcements. we need this win, it will be a great victory for the Republic if we are able to capture the planet." Stated Obi-Wan with certainty. "All other generals are on missions right as we speak, you are the only one that can provide back up at this current time." Master Windu added "Closer to Knight after this mission you will be, great padawan you are, your great swift improvements, Master Plo is pleased with, believe in you I do." Master Yoda said with a jolly old-man voice. "Now go, there's not much time to waste, gather your men and go help Obi-Wan!" Rushedly said by Master Windu. "With determination in my voice, I yell "Yes Masters, right away!" And like a flash, I was gone. As I'm running off, I catch a glimpse of a green swoosh and the sound of a bolt deflection. I stumble to a stop and put my legs in reverse to give curiosity the wheel. When I peer in, I see Master Skywalker and Ahsoka, along with roughly 8 clone troopers all in a circle around Ahsoka and her one blade ignited. Master Skywalker had her eyes welded to her as he walked around the trooper. I could see Captain Rex standing and watching as well, although he seems to be the only one who spotted me poking in my head. He motioned his finger to his lips as to tell me to shush and not interfere, so I watched with anticipation. And after a lifetime stillness ending in a second after Master Skywalker yelled "START!" And stun doughnuts fire from the blasters of the troopers, sending a volley of blue twords Ahsoka from all directions. With great flexibility I pair with, she jumps into the air, spinning like skates on a skate rink in mid air deflecting all incoming plasmic projectiles landing with swift grace ready for more, And more came, she stands in the center blade moving almost faster than what my eyes could keep up with, until that one bolt punches her right in the back, knocking her to the ground, diminishing the blade back into the hilt. I spring into the room, speaking with worry in my voice when I squeak out "Ahsoka! Master Skywalker, what was that!?" 

"She was just training deflecting blaster fire, she's going to be outmatched a lot in this war, and clones are better than droids to practice with." Anakin said with pride that she was able to last little over a minute, thats improvement.
"Well I guess you're not completely wrong, but your going to give her a brain injury at this rate! Could you not go a bit easier on her?"
"She'll never learn if I go easy on her." Master Skywalker said with little arrogance in his voice.
"W- well, here, l-let me wake her then." I stuttered as I walked up to Rex holding Ahsoka like he's a pillow.
"Rex, do you mind if I-"
"Not at all General, here." Rex said as I sat next to him holding Ahsoka's top half of her body.

 As he caringly sets Ahsoka's rhythmically beating top half in my lap, head facing the heavens, I softly lay my hand over her forehead, close my eyes, and concentrate. A few suspenseful seconds later, I take my hand off and observe Ahsoka's hand softly glide to her now curling forehead, eyes fluttering open. 

With a smile I voiced"Wakey Wakey warrior princess, have a good nap?" Smirking the whole time.
"Well aren't you a sight for sore eyes Nicksters." She groaned with fading pain.
"What are you doing here?" She leisurely grumbled as she started to lie propped up by her desirable, fluorescent orange arms made of flexible muscle.
"I was walking by, and saw a 'damsel in distress', I HAD to come and 'save the day'." I joked, smirking the whole time, annoying her little bit more.
"You know I have been dying to use my force heal on you since I had learned it. I bet you don't even feel bad at all right now hm?" I said leaning in
Ahsoka starts to stand as to get a feel for her own body.
"You're right, I feel better than I did before, not bad for someone named Nicks." Ahsoka said smirking right back at me.
"Oh come on, that was one time, that was even before we became patiwans!" I said with little dramatics in my vocal verberations.
"Ok Master, I'm ready to try again." Ahsoka said to Master Skywalker
"Not now Ahsoka, we have a mission from the Jedi council we have to attend to while Obi-Wan is on his own mission." Anikan said to Ahsoka, elongating his 'not' like he usually does
"I'm actually about to go give help to Obi-Wan right now… WHICH I NEED TO GET PREPARED FOR NOW!! Karabast, got to go! See yah Ahsoka, Master, Rex." And like a ship entering hyperspace, I was gone.
Chapter 2

 After 2 boring days traveling in hyperspace, me and my 5 Veneter class Cruisers are nearing our destination, this would make 12 Cruisers for the Republic side. A new commander CT'-4112 or Zerek, debriefs on the battle situation. As I had sensed, Obi-Wan was outmatched seeing as backup was on planet Sarrish for the fleeing Separatist ships, now it's 11 Munificent class Cruisers and 2 command stations blockading the planet. Kenobi was starting to be pushed back, relying on our Cruisers longer ranged cannons to hope the Sepies didn't get too close. Our Cruisers have longer ranged main canons and toms of fighter room, while the Sepies Cruisers have more fire power at closer ranges with more fighters than our Vendor class Cruisers, at closer ranges, the Sepies would completely destroy a Venetor class Cruiser, but we have strategies and will power. 

"Glad to see a friendly face Saya." Kenobi said exhaustingly.
"Well, it looked like you needed help. You know I need to be the one to save everyone. I'll move into position to fortify our defenses to push the Sepies back and for us to make a plan. What is your fleet's condition?"
"We have 2 Venetors heavily damaged and the rest either have mild to no damage. And we have lost half our fighters as of now." Urgently said by Kenobi.
"Ok, I'm sending men and supplies to you right now, let me take the front so I can take the damage if they send another attack." I calmly said to Kenobi.
"Men battle positions and set all power to front cannons and shields. Venators get into pincer position and get ready for an attack. Fighters get ready to launch." I commanded to all my Cruisers
"Master, if you could, could you add in your undamaged Venetors? " I wandered and directed with much mastery, I even made Obi-Wan himself visually impressed considering my inexperienced mind in life, and especially war. I even managed to make him smile.
"Getting in position now." Obi-Wan stated, still smiling.
"Understood, While you get everything fixed, I'll see if I can weaken their defenses, it seems as if they're in attack positions so we gotta be ready for anything." I said in deep thought.
"Ok, 10 to 13, I like those odds, makes it even, more so for the Sepies." I grinned.
"Now Saya, remember this is still a battle, don't be too cocky, you're starting to remind me of Anakin." Obi-Wan said with conviction.
"Yes Master, sorry about that." I answered to Obi-Wan, pulling back a little.

 Just then, many starfighters come from the enemy Cruisers, hundreds of them lightning fast, closing distance fast. 

"All right men, time for some fun. Obi-Wan, if you want to take command of my control center, I'll lead this fight." I said before Obi-Wan could respond.
"Ok- but Saya! Blast, maybe he's too much like Anikan." Obi-Wan said defeatedly.
As I get into the hangar I yell "Alright Wolfpack, let's get goin!" Then I hop into my modified Jedi A-wing.
We rush out from the center roof door along the Cruiser with my squadron aka The Wolfpack, with me leading my 23 fighters into battle and many more friendly's following from the hangars.
"Ok Wolfpack, let's make a break for them Cruisers, get as many of them gone as possible. 411 you ready?" I asked R2-411. R2-411 bleeps with readiness.
"Ok, time to blow them out of the sky, remember, stay in formation" I commanded.
"Yes sir!" The Clones bellowed.

 Then we hit the swarm with a mighty thundering sound of lasers flying through the emptiness of space seeing one after one of enemy fighter droids dropping all over the place. Me and my Wolfpack fly through all the 2 winged Vulture droids that look like each wing was sideways and has 2 prongs each side for wings. They were way more quick and maneuverable than us, but we had a duty to win, and we won't lose today. It's like a firework show, but you're dodging all the fireworks, and they're aiming right at you. While we are defending the Venator Cruisers, they're mostly firing at the Sepies Cruisers, slowly dwindling their energy shields down. 

"Boys, I have a plan, but I'll need yall to get back to the Cruisers." I urged
"Obi-Wan, how's the 2 heavily damaged Cruisers? We've been out for a long while. They should be good by now right?" I questioned Master Kenobi.
"They're about to come back into the fight, but one of our Cruisers is at a quarter shield, few good hits or bombing runs and it's gone, what's your plan Saya?" Obi-Wan said, perplexed.
"Just give me an opening to the left Separatist control center, that's all I need to get on that ship." I stated with confidence.
"I'll try my best, but don't be stupid Saya, we can't afford to lose you."
"Yeah yeah I know, just get me an opening please Master!" I begged.

 After the words fleeted from my mouth, all the Cruisers fired a hole through the droid fleet with friendly fighters also making way for me to get through. I blast the afterburners straight through the enemy swarm that's been lesson by the commotion, just barely being hidden by smoke from a just destroyed fighter straight into the leftmost control ship hanger landing with an explosive entry. And immediately I jump out, igniting both, my straight emerald green saber in my left, and my yellow saber with a curved hilt similar to the Count's hilt himself in my right. I'll face him again one day, it's inevitable, like me. I land and immediately cut a group of B1 battle droids heads off with my yellow saber facing out, giving me more reach, but as I start to take fire from the army that quickly form from my landing, I swiftly doge left to right almost able to doge the sight of a human eye. Left, pop goes the heads of 3, right, pop goes 5, jump through the air on an almost straight path through the thick of the army, spinning with a light show if one were to be an onlooker at this chaotic organization of flying red plasmic bolts going to a mix of yellow and green, then proceeding to fly straight back at the shooter with twice the velocity. I land on my feet with a thunderous "BOOM" with what seems like an explosion that incinerates half of the whole hanger with an electric yellow glow seeming like yellow lighting exploded from the epicenter of the explosion. When the smoke cleared, it seemed that everything within a 5 meter radius was completely incinerated, and everything within 40 meter radius was heavily damaged, and any technology within eye shot was either scrape or short-circuiting, but all B1 battle droids and super battle droids were out. 

I sighed with relief with little heavy breathing when I looked around me, but with no time to rest, 6 Vulture droid fighters came through the hanger's magnetic shield door, transforming to walk on its pronged wings like they were legs. They scanned me and started raining a flurry of red down onto me, but with my lightning fast reflexes, I raised my sabers to block the incoming hellfire from all six fighter's. Then came the flurry being deflected in any direction possible, and I could just barely see the 6 droids started to surround me by going behind my back, but I ain't done yet. As I'm blocking, jumping, spinning, twisting on a micrometer, I stomp with a mighty force, launching through the air, slowly spinning straight for a Vulture that has became the prey. Bolts whizzing by me, inches, centimeters near my skin, singeing my arm hairs to their roots. I land on top of the droid with a thunderous boom crunching where my foot had landed, driving my sabers straight through the brain of the story high droid, with a counterclockwise rotation around my back, dragging my sabers across the metal of the droid, I leap off the droid landing with the feathers and fly forward with a flashing dash slicing through 2 other droids legs, leaving gravity do its magical job. 3 down, 3 to go, but with little time left. I launch forward running on hairs dipping and dodging blots, I leap up slicing through one leg of a droid and pushing off of its gravity taken hull, coming down on another droid's leg, cutting with ease. I land like a leaf in the autumn skies, and launch with a swift leap, flying my yellow saber straight down the middle of the 6th and final droid with no time to spare.

 I land with caution, ready to fend off another foe, but none came at that second, so I took the opportunity and ran with it straight to where the main reactors should lie. I swiftly sprint with force leaps through the air to get to the reactor, the ship is 270th of a circle with a ball where the command center is, the middle is the only connected between the back of the ball and the inner back of the circle, that's where the reactor is, im at the left most side, may take me a minute to reach it, but I can get there without being seen. My plan was to quickly fix and rewrite a Vulture droid's code to go with my command, not going to be the best work but it will work, hopefully. I had to act fast because I knew there were going to be hundreds more droids to come to see the commotion, I'd say within the minute. The codes used on the droids are not the best, because of mass production, so It was an easy fix, I just needed it to fly a small bit. It comes back to life with a putt to its movement, I directed it to start flying while I'm on its back, putting the whole time with smoke, just what I needed. I start to move forward as fast as possible. As we get around the hundreds of battle droids below, I'm starting to speed up, and as I see the reactor room, I could hear B1's yell " HEY! STOP! YOUR GOING TO FAST" in their robotic voice. Before I hit the Shield covering the reactor room, I jump off to the left where the blast door is for the room. With the distraction of the droid smashing into the shield, I use this time to slowly cut through the blast doors with both sabers starting at the bottom of the door, going up and around to form a circle I can fit through. I was through within a Minute, unnoticed, or so I was led to believe. When I get into the reactor room, I throw explosives all over the reactors, with a detonation in T minus 1 minute. I fly out of the room, calling for 411 to bring my ship as fast as possible, 55. Running across the hanger, I'm spotted by the hundreds of battle droids, which immediately start firing right as they see me 50. The explosion of the fighter droid caused a chain to nearby explosive barrels, exploding more Vulture droids causing tons of smoke and fires to spread around the hangar area, 45. As I'm running, my yellow saber is blocking multiple bolts flying at me while I'm jumping, spinning, performing acrobatic movements while being shot by hundreds of droids, from B1's, to super's, to droideka's, all firing at me, adding to the smoke, 35. Running with young blood in my veins, I perform 1, 2, 3 long jumps and leap onto the side of a slanted destroyed Vulture droid, 30. I jump up, reaching for the cloudy sky just as 411 swoops in predictively shoving my hand into the side of the sharp A-wing hull, 25. I grab the side of the hull and pull myself up into the cockpit, grabbing the controls, 20. I spin to the exit with roughly 67° of the hanger I need to shoot out of, I fire the afterburners using the circumference of the circle and my fighters movment to my advantage, 15. Pushing forward, I am drifting an A-wing around the hangar of a Separatist capital ship skimming the walls centimeters away from an explosive fiery death, 10. I barely screamed out of the hanger, to be able to see a view of the capital ship flying stright for the other Sepie capital ship, 5. Im still firing the afterburners to try and attempt to get a safe distance away from the soon to be collision sight, 4. I let 411 take the control's, 3. I turn my head to look back, 2. I see the collision of the 2 270° hangers, 1. I watch as i get the view of a star being formed right infront of my eyes, and seeing many Sepie Cruisers being absolutely engulfed by the flames, and a blast wave decimating the Vulture droids… blast wave…. BLAST WAVE! Just then I'm thrown far, along with the debri. I manged to gain control of the craft and start performing advanced monuvers to avoid being hit by debrie that will demolishe me and my tiny fighter. 

"Saya, can you hear me? Saya?" Master Obi-Wan Kenobi pleaded.
"Yeah, yeah master, I'm good, I'm fine. Woo…!" I said with a sigh of relief.
Chapter 3

 The explosion had decimated the Separatist forces leaving 4 Cruisers sustaining heavy or mild damages, but with an opening, Obi-Wan and I travel to the ground along with Captain Cody to go for a large ground assault. Master Obi-Wan's plan was to drop in and gather our troops and split them between Obi-Wan and commander Cody. We were west, they were east. The Separatists had the high ground seeing as they had a cliff to their advantage. Flying in on gunships, we were taking heavy fire from their anti aircraft cannons. Commander Cody and I are debriefing the squad on the way to the rally point, seeing gunships after gunship falling to the rocky ground in a fiery explosive ball of red hot metal, and screams, with no plants in sight, just rocks, gunships, and red streaks flying by. Explosions booming right next to us with our doors right open. We have been ordered and ordering troops to stay far away from the mountain top gun fortifying the mountain top of the cliff, leaving that gun for the gunships and the best of the clone troopers, or ARC (Advanced Recon Commandos) troopers to deal with that later, seeing as a ground assault is too dangerous for us. As some of the clones have said, it's not an easy mission, but hops are high. 

"30 seconds until landing." A clone trooper yelled to me and Cody.
Cody starts with "All right, listen up! Maintain squad formations, 'A' squad, You're on me-" ZZZZZEEEROW- BOOOM!
"Where hit!" I yell "Everyone! Hold on!"
Before we hit the ground I leap out of the gunship with a backwards somersault, force pulling all the troops out of the burning fireball heading for the ground, grabbing all of the men, including the 2 pilots at the front, breaking through the windows. I land like rain from the sky, catching the troops I just pulled out with my powers and have them roughly land on the fluffy rocks next to our now downed gunship, no casualties yet. I rush over to take cover under our gunship on its left side behind enemy lines. I sit and meditate as they come up with a plan.
"What's the status lieutenant?" Cody asked
"5 injured thanks to General Saya, but that's not that bad news… Does that Rock look familiar?" The lieutenant asked.
"Yea, the mountain, right where we're not supposed to be." Said Cody
"General Kenobi ordered us not to try taking this section from the ground." The lieutenant regenerated back again with what was already established.
"That's what he said…but what would the general do if he were here?" Cody rhetorically asked.
"Saya sir, what do you think?" A trooper asked me somewhat desperately.
"I think Cody should take this one, I've got your back Cody." I answered with my legs crossed, eyes closed, slightly levitating over the rocks.
"Eight-Eight-Six-Seven through Eight-Eight-Six-Nine and Saya, fix your grapples and come with me. Everybody, prepare for covering fire." Cody ordered.
I get up, eyes still shut, ready to block anything coming our way.
"NOW!" Cody yells, sprinting across what is our no-man's-land
I open my eyes, ignite my Sabers, Green in left, yellow in right, and dash towards the now incoming blaster fire. I sense it, left side, block, right side, deflect, one for Cody, deflected. We get to some stalagmites at the bottom of the mountain, sustaining heavy fire, I pose as a distraction for all the fire, deflecting as many blots as I can back at the metal men. One troop trips and falls, pow, bolt straight through the head. Cody and the men shoot the grappling hooks up towards the top of the mountain and start climbing. I jump from my spot reigniting my sabers, driving them through the mountain side, helping me grab hold with my feet. And when I look up, I see a grapple fall behind me. I tried to grab the rope but I was too late. When I managed to obtain it, he had already hit the ground. Another tragedy, one that never had to happen, life being wasted away. I look up, a droid stairs emotionlessly down into my emotion filled eyes. A blue bolt shoots past me, impacting the droid's head, sending the body backwards.
Cody and the other clone rises from the cliff side as I leap up from the side, landing in front of the clones and immediately start deflecting with my 2 sabers having nothing pass. Cody takes this opportunity to run around my defense and attacks the droids head on, bashing one droid with the butt of his rifle and swinging his rifle at another, destroying both of them. The droid manning the anti aircraft gun turns and aims at Cody. Instinctively I jump in front of the cannon as it fires, I deflect the large bolt away with my right yellow saber, knocking my body to the right, making me stumble. But with the motion throwing me to the right, I use the momentum to throw my green saber with my left hand, impaling the droid in the metal chest. Cody then hops onto the turret, points the gun at the droids firing at our men, and lets loose, destroying all in its reticle.
"Thanks General, I owe you one, ill getcha next time." Cody said slowly getting off the turret.
"You're alright my friend, just pay it forward, let's go see how Obi-Wan did." I slightly worried, staring off to the north.

 We group up at the randevu, where we have set base camp on the planet in a small raven a bit away from where we captured the cliff with some makeshift scouting towers dotted around our position. Obi-Wan had more resistance than what he had anticipated, he was a little banged up, but he was fine in the end. This was a huge victory seeing as we have been able to set base on a planet that allows us to get resources through this hyperspace route and onto parts of the army past this point. Before, General Grievous snipped our route to where we couldn't get resources to our army on the other side from Coruscant. 

Chapter 4

 12 hours later, we have rested and have managed to build up a good base incase of a surprise attack. We are still fighting a few fronts of Separatist holdouts with a fortress a few klicks west, or about 4 miles west. 

I sit in my tent meditating, reflecting back on the weeks events, and what Ahsoka was doing back at the temple, training hard. I recite what I did with an almost overwhelming amount of blaster fire attempting to fly into me, how I was just mostly averting the blots away from me and not in a direction that would benefit me most.
'RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE'

 The ground started to shake out of nowhere, breaking my peace. I rush out of my tent, only to be met with a face full of B2 battle droid. I jump back over my tent flipping onto my feet as I see my tent being lit into flames from heavy bolt fire flying at me. Igniting both my sabers, I deflect the incoming fire away from me up into the sky as much as I physically could. I took a glance around, it was becoming more sunlit as we fought. It was a slaughter, clones dying left and right, Kenobi was on the Command ship getting patched, so it was just me, and the clones down here, being manicured. With a swift right step, I change lightsaber form, combining my form 3, (defensive form blocking anything coming way, and either making, or waiting for an opening to strike) with a combination of form 2 (saber to saber form, putting least amount or saber movement and preferring precise efficient movements) and form 4 (saber from using the force to enhance physical abilities, and heavily utilizing fast acrobatic movements to move around and disorient the opponents, using wide sweeping saber movements to block and hit targets) I use the power if the many bolts to propel my body onto my right leg, crouching down and taking a huge lead in to the air. Looking around like it is moving in stop motion, I see thousands of droids around, completely outnumbering my men. Glancing down where I had jumped from, there seems to be a super battle droid rising from the ground, looking as if it has been there for at least a few days. Time seems to start like normal again, immediately I have to block bolts coming for my body, twisting, turning, deflecting every. single. bolt. right to another droid. I can't have any more unneeded deaths in my hands. I land with an impactful explosion of yellow lighting, rendering half of the electronics on the field obsolete. Shots fire over the wall, exploding near me. 

"Everyone, Retreat!" I yelled into the comms.
I ran towards the lieutenant that I had survived the crash with, he was running for a troop transport.
"Get to the ships, return to the Venators! Get Kenobi and relay what has happened!" Urgency blowing through my voice.

 I push him into the ship as it takes off. As it's doing so, I force push it away from the field as to be in less danger of being shot down. But rockets fly through the air, I reach through the force and grab onto the hurdling death traps, I grab 1, 2, crash them into one another, 3, grab, 4, grab, 5, miss. ERRROW… BOOOM! With a hopeless explosion, the ship bursts into an explosive ball of fire, right in front of my eyes, out of my grasp. Shots fly past my head from behind me, I ignite my sunlit yellow saber to block incoming bolts. No men, only metal remains, and it wants me dead. I dash for my ship on the other side of the airstrip, luckily barely touched from this horrible surprise party that invited everyone I very much dislike. Hopping into my A-wing, I lift-off dogging left, right, up, down, roll left, roll right, barely being passed by on all sides by cannon fire. When I reach the point past the clouds, there's a whole war above. Separatist forces have surprised Kenobi with an overwhelming number of ships, putting our war torn 12 Venators against 16 Munificent class Cruisers. We were greatly out matched. But the time I was in space we had lost 3 Vectors compared to there 1 lost. Droids noticed me coming from the planet and started to verge onto my position. 

"Obi-Wan! You there? Can you hear me?" I yelled, pulling evasive maneuvers.
"Saya, is that you?" Kenobi asked.
"Yes, we got surprised on the ground, seems the same happened here." I rushingly said.
"Yes, they came out of nowh-" Kenobi is cut off by a blaring siren from my cockpit.
"Wait, my ship is damaged, it's starting up my hyperdrive, 411 can you fix it?" I said dipping left and right while trying to stop the hyperdrive activation.
With a few bleeps of fear, I understand what's happening.
"When I was thrown from the capital ship explosive wave, I must have been hit near the hyperdrive, and explosions from my escape, along with the maneuvers I have been pulling, it may have caused damage that is registering a hyperdrive activation. Master Obi-Wan, I don't know, I-I don't know what to do!" I claimed with fear in my eyes.
"Can you deactivate the hyperdrive at all 411?" Kenobi asked
411 bleeps with a sad toon.
"Blast, Saya, does it say where you're going?"
"N- No, my council just says ERROR." I stated, now with much fear in my voice.

 I managed to steer my craft into the position of the hyperspace lane. 

"Tell Ahsoka good bye if I don't-" I get cut off when the the hyperdrive powered up woth a vvvvvvvvvvvVVVVERRRRRRR PEEOW, and just like that, me, my A-wing, and R2-411, are gone.
Chapter 5

 It's been days since the battle, mabe 2 or 3 days. Luckily I always keep many ration bars in my fighter to last me a good few days, along with my extra water and my ability to go into a deep meditative state, conserving food and water. Keeping me company is my meditation and 411. We have almost hit some unknown objects, could have been planets, asteroids, other ships, but we seem to be staying in hyperspace lanes luckily, or I would have been dead a long time ago. My class 2 hyperdrive could have taken me all over the galaxy by now, I could be heading towards Coruscant right now for all I know. 

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
My hyperdrive warning kicked on, showing that there is a massive gravity force in my path. The console flashed with big red dangerous letters "Exiting Hyperdrive" on the screen.
"YES! FINALLY!" I yelled with excitement.

 I watch through the glass to see a barren looking planet, and a similar looking moon, a moon I was heading to. I was moving fast, as I entered the moon's atmosphere, Im grabbing the controls, barely anything. My craft is red hot from the rate at which I'm coming in on. I'm grabbing the stick, pulling back as much as I can, as to try and save myself and 411 from a fiery death. I scraped by a big rocky mountain dealing more damage to my A-wing. 

"HOLD ON 411!"
"Come ooooon. Pull pull pullllll…. Ahhhhhhhhh!!!-" VERRROW BOOOOSH!!! The crash landing sounded like a bomb flying through the air, then landing on its target. I try to get from my seat just to find my strap and window will not open. Using my saber I cut off my seat strap and broke the window from the hinges and leaped out, taking 411 from the craft, swiftly landing on a tall mountainous rock. The craft seemed to have pushed through the land 50 meters from the initial impact spot. The area I was in seemed to be very rocky terrain with many rocky canyons and huge rocks that are almost mountainous. The sun was close to setting down for the night but was still a good hour away from sleeping.

 With the force by my side, I felt a very uneasy sensation telling me to stay out of sight. I duck down on the tall skinny rock taking 411 down with me. 411 confusingly bleeps when I do so. "Hey, I have a feeling right now, just keep quiet real quick, there's somebody coming. Trust me." Me and 411 peer over the edge looming over my crashed ship just as a group of 6 men in full armor covering their whole body fly in with jetpacks strapped to their backs, blasters in hand. As they land, they search around my wreckage, presumably looking for survivors. One seems to be ordering the others around, pointing at one to look in one direction, another a different direction, and scanning around for the unexpected visitor. I look down at my Wrist link, my distress signal wasn't sent, I guess that was damaged from entering the planet at such high speed with no deflector shields surrounding the ship like a protective blanket. 

"Blast, 411, what's your S.O.S signal situation, did it go through?" 411 beeps with a little drama like I should know it didn't go through.
"Well sorry for busting your rusty bolts you rowdy rancor, better to try than to just give up mister sassy pants. Maybe I should wipe your memory for a change, see how you like it."
"Now shush, don't want them to find us spying on them, won't look too good." I demand. "Now here, in case we get caught, I don't want them to know I'm a Jedi, so here, take my sabers, I'm not gonna need them anyways." I said shoving my lightsabers into 411's storage compartment and looking towards the crash again.

 Just then the suit of armor that had been commanding his squad bursts up into my view right on my face out of hyperspace blue. 

"Ah, found ya trespassers, you 2 are coming with me." Demanded the Mandalorian with a snickering sound in his voice as the others rise from the portal of the abyss from down below.

 It was a good thing my ropes where in the tent back on Sarrish, or this may have been an even worse situation, Mangalorians like them hate Jedi with a passion, and it's a good thing I always have a broken blaster in 411 for any cases where I need to blend in with a crowd or pose as a normal civilian; although, the ability to become a civilian at any point is great, I've had little need to do so much. I'm quite popular with the people for being one who tries to connect with the population as a fellow citizen. So I rarely stay in the temple for too long. I love being with the people and learning skills without the force, like being a mechanic, electrician, public speaker, security guard, an all around great person to talk with about anything. I'm quite known on all levels of Coruscant for being one of the most friendly Jedi to be around. Right now though, I need to focus on not being caught, at least That's what my gut is telling me. After they searched my character for any weapons and found the broken blaster that 411 had put in my holster where my lightsaber usually is, they were satisfied and pushed us into one of their big Kom'rk Mark 1 class Mandalorian starfightetransport ship. 

(Look in comments for 6th paragraph)

Hi all, So two of my close uni friends, the guy and the girl, are getting engaged abroad in the Middle East and have sent me an invite to attend. I was super happy about it and excited to attend until I saw the financial hit I will endure if I was to go. Return flights will cost me a minimum of £850 and accommodation is likely to be around £200/£300 for 5 days. As you can tell, the place is not really expensive but flying to it is. Adding to that, they have planned activities over these 5 days from hikes to buggy rides to sea ventures but apparently we will be paying for it ourselves depending on what activities do we choose to reserve and go to. So that alongside food and drinks will be an estimate of £400-£500. So we're talking a total estimate of around £2,000 or close if not more to attend.
I love them both but it does not seem likely that I will be able to attend. I do not want to miss it as I value both of them a lot but I am worried it will end up ruining the friendship. I am probably the only person coming from afar as most people attending including the couple live close to the destination engagement. I've read about a lot of people using credit cards or buying flights/holidays in installments but even with, I have to take 6/7 days of annual leave to attend an event I cannot afford its finance. Whats your take? I know the answer seems obvious but I feel bad about it all. Is it also reasonable to have expected them to pay for the activities they want us all to do or not? I initially thought if the activities are covered then I can ignore the crazy flight prices but now i am discouraged. What would one tell them in such situation?

Dear Community,
Have you ever wondered why first strikes gave you less money than damage dealt on melee champions although 100% of the damage should be turned into gold, +5 Gold extra?
Here's the answers:
First strike is a projectile; thus, it needs to fly to the target. If, however, the 3 seconds pass whilst the projectiles are still flying, the damage is dealt, but you will not receive gold for it.
The below video illustrates how the interaction works.
Video 1: Qiyana's second Q arrives at the target right before first strike is about to expire. Hence, the first strike projectiles are sent out and deal damage. First strike, however, calculates the gold earned precisely after 3 seconds, thus the projectiles that are still in the air do not count towards the calculation.
-> 48 bonus damage was dealt, 31 gold earned.
Video 1:
Disclaimer: I don't know if this is a known bug. However, since this has been in the game for a long time now, I assume that riot a) is not aware of it or b) calls it a "feature".

Hi, if possible I would like some information or answers about this issue we having. Setup is:
Devices are configured with Intune and enrolled with autopilot and Defender for Endpoint enabled and active
In Intune (Endpoint Security) we enabled Microsoft Defender Application Control under Attack Surface Reduction. Configured like this: - App locker application control: Enfore components and Store apps - Block users from ignoring smartscreen: Yes - Turn on Windows Smartscreen: Yes
The usecase is that we would like to exclude every app from running except our own whitelisted, store or Microsoft’s.
But can’t get for example get to run notepad++ portable. How can I whitelist such application on filehash value?
Custom device configuration in Intune with oma-uri or are other solution?
Thanks in advance

Previous chapter: https://www.reddit.com/TowerofFantasy/comments/129hnmx/main_story_summary_chapter_10_grand_sea_pursuit/
In this chapter, the Wanderer and Nemesis return to Mirroria to rest for tomorrow's meeting with Archon Larsen. Nemesis comments that she still cares about the Angels of Clemency, and the MC replies that she will be fine though comments on her confidence.
Later, after the meeting which didn't have much besides Lan and Archon Larsen telling each other what they knew about the entities, MC and Nemesis goes to the security room and catch up a bit with Ruby as well. Lin talks to Rubilia privately; she has finally obtained a device that would interfere with the Hive Mother's ability to see through her eyes, though Lyra needs to test the effects by being near Ruby, who is a Grayspace entity. Rubilia is still determined to go to the Confounding Abyss and find answers there, meanwhile Ruby has kept her promises made toward Lin, in fact she even exclaims that if she grew up then she would be able to do missions with her as well.
Lin gets a call from Fiona, the abyss current has gotten less stable and they need to figure out a plan. So they go to Innars after saying bye to Ruby. At Innars, from Fiona's words, the Mooke Squad says that the entities has become active recently. Lan is worried that the areas can become abyss current at any time due to distortions in timespace. Rubilia wonders if the timestamp from the Nine Realms is related to the black stone due to the similar materials, which can be found in the Abyss, though 9R people refer to it as the black jade, a byproduct of another civilization.
Rubilia guesses that the Abyssant can exert influence on the spacetime barrier, though suspects that the spacetime in underwater was always unstable, and thus suggests to create a cause or effect by bringing the energy with her Grayspace abilities.
At there, she can feel the surge of energy inside the current, and the Hive Mother calling out to its offspring to rescue it. Therefore, the other Executors go to protect her as she works her energy through the current, after a few minutes of combat, Rubilia manages to turn the abyss current into a kind of portal. They return to Breezy Isle to hear from Ms. Lyra, who says that it is a result of the manipulation of spacetime. Lan proposes to use the timestamp which allows them to unlock the entrance to the ruins, though after entering they seem to lose contact with Lyra, with their devices malfunctioning.
The device seems to react to Lan's timestamp which means they are connected, and she mentions that there is the same device in Nine Realms. Afterward, they see a mirror, but it doesn't seem to imitate their actions... rather,, due to the distortions in the timespace, the mirrors are showing the events of a few minutes later, as well as the events that happened a few seconds ago. After activating a few mechanisms, the statue in the middle opens up along with totems; it looks to be part of an alien civilization, but they don't know what one, regardless Rubilia suggests that they can use what was left behind.
Another totem later, Lin suggests that the totems could actually be recording the development of the Mirroria and Vera people, in which case they will need to prepare for that day. The next totem seems to have the implication of the development and evolutions of the Grayspace entities in line with their knowledge. But Lan comments that she has seen the pattern before, interpreting it as suppression or sealing, Rubilia thinks the totems might either have functions or are just summaries. (The MC complains that they want a simpler explaination...)
However, after opening the last puzzle, the puzzles suddenly come in place, and they are transported back outside. Unexpectedly, Hanlu has news regarding the development of the spacetime fluctations and Lyra comments that it is improving steadily. At the zone, Hanlu says there was a kind of neutralization of the energy, making it possible to close the current with the timestamp or even transform it into a celestial gate to their needs, though Lan thinks it is risky. But she waves farewell for now as he goes to investigate it, while the group return to report their findings to Larsen.
Later, Lin takes Ruby to Innars to let her come along and see the exhibition of the fishes, though Gunonno seems to trouble Fiona, since the physical girl doesn't really get to play with others due to parents not allowing children to play with her. Lin decides to try something different, asking Ruby for a plan. Ruby decides to ask Gunonno to come down, and the latter does, thinking the flame girl wants to come on adventures with her. She explains about the shark, about its characteristics, about being gulped down and exploring its stomach (Uh, slow down, Gunonno...) Lin does seem glad that Ruby is making friends, though she will have to explain the truth to her in a future time.
Seeing how the two children are bonding, Fiona wants Ruby to come over more often, though Lin hopes she doesn't get sick of her too quickly. Shirli likes the tour too, and Li nshows gratitude to MC and Shirli for the help with grayspace entities. After taking a photo shoot, they say bye to Fiona, and Lin takes back Ruby to Mirroria, hoping for good news from Hanlu regarding Nine Realms.
And thus, this concludes the Vera arc. In the next chapter, the group will connect into the Nine Realm arc. If you have any new theories or lore about this one, feel free to share.

Another long one, prepare.
StitchlineGames is a theory I want to believe, especially with Tales being so directly linked to Security Breach that it feels like FF should be that directly linked to the rest of the games. But there's always things pulling me back.
The only confirmed stories in the Stitchline are:
The Epilogues
Into the Pit
To Be Beautiful
Count the Ways
Fetch
Out of Stock
1:35 AM
Step Closer
Dance With Me
The Man in Room 1280
Blackbird
The Real Jake
Hide-and-Seek
There's also other stories people have tried to link Stitchine to either through familiar named locations, unnamed characters looking similar to Stitchline characters, references to the MCI, etc but those have never been directly confirmed. (That's right, despite popular belief, Andrew is never actually confirmed in the Stitchline to actually be Golden Freddy in The New Kid, the story's canonicity is unknown).
The first one everyone jumps to critiquing is Into the Pit as it has a 6th child instead of just the typical 5 in the MCI. However, this is assuming it's actually time travel, which it may not be, it might just be memory hopping which we see happen in the Epilogues as Larson goes through Eleanor's memories of events that she took part in. We know Eleanor has trapped 30 people in the ballpit, if the ballpit can hop through people's memories maybe it hopped through the memory of someone present in the 1985 MCI. We also know these events can't be literal because Spring Bonnie goes after Oswald and ends up in the real world as an agony being that is seemingly controlled by Eleanor but it's confirmed in the Stitchline that William committed the crimes, not some agony monster. With that, we must believe these events aren't 100% truthful and the 6 victims might not be all from the MCI but could just be everyone that died at this specific location.
The next story, To Be Beautiful, is more disconnected from the games but because of that can't really be proven to not exist in the games timeline. I think at this point we are long past the days of thinking of robot kids as complete impossibilities and the past the days of saying Illusion Disks don't exist in the games.
Count the Ways is when things get...interesting. Firstly, the villain is Funtime Freddy who, in the games, seemed to only exist at CBPW and CBEAR, both being the same version of Funtime Freddy. We're led to believe these stories take place in present day, so late 2010s, but if that's the case, Funtime Freddy should be destroyed by now and merged with Ennard/Molten Freddy. There's nothing in the games to imply the existence of multiple CBEARs with multiple Funtime Freddys unlike Freddy Fazbear's Pizza where we know that at least more than 1 exists thanks to FNAF 3's tapes. Fazbear Entertainment was gone after 1993 and by the time of 2023 all of its stuff was considered "pre-historic" implying the company was gone for a while by the time of FNAF 3. There's also the fact that the way Funtime Freddy kills Millie isn't described in the games, he has a storage tank, sure, but nothing suggests he has all these ways to kill children.
Next is Fetch, while we were unaware at the time, this is our first meeting with Andrew, whose agony has infected Fetch. It may also be infected by William's agony as he is tethered to Andrew. We also meet Jake McNally which some think could be Jake from The Real Jake but 5 years younger. For reasons, we'll talk about later, if this is in the game's timeline it has be in after 2023, 2024 at the absolue earliest (although unlikely) meaning Jake would die in 2029, but that is just assuming this is the same Jake. This story doesn't contradict anything from the actual games, so this is fine. It's also important to point out that Freddy's is currently abandoned and no new Freddy's have popped up at this time since the search provides only information of the company closing down after an undescribed incident.
Out of Stock is the first time we actually see Fazbear Entertainment operational post-2023. This story must take place after FFPS as the Stitchwraith exists at this point as soon after this story he collects the Plishtrap Chaser. This means that Fazbear Entertainment is starting back up and doesn't seem to care for its problematic past by selling toys of their once banned Springlock Character.
1:35 AM doesn't contradict or give us really any new information.
Step Closer is the first time in the Stitchline we see a Freddy's location exists in modern day. Nothing in the games outright confirms the existence of Freddy's locations prior to the Pizzaplez but it certainly isn't impossible.
Dance With Me is weird as it implies Circus Baby's Pizza World must've reopened at some point. The original Circus Baby's Pizza World never officially opened and doesn't make sense for Circus Baby's to reopen anytime prior to FFPS as all of FNAF history was "pre-historic" by FNAF 3. This must've opened after the company started back up after FFPS, after Into the Pit and Fetch. This isn't impossible but nothing directly proves this point. Some might say that this is why Funtime Freddy is in Count the Ways but Funtime Freddy is described as being in a scrapyard for ages. Sure, something taking ages is subjective, but something just doesn't feel right there.
The Man in Room 1280 is the big one and honestly the only story that actually directly connects to the games. Andrew has attached himself with William and has been keeping him alive to torment him in his nightmares, no matter what the nurses or doctors do, he won't die. Sound familiar? TOYSNHK attached himself to William and is keeping him alive to torment him, no matter how many times they burn him. It's literally UCN. Some have said that Andrew is the kid with curly black hair inside Golden Freddy in The New Kid and while, yes, it's a possibility, it is an unconfirmed connection but would further strengthen the UCN connection. But the stingers also reveal that the second entity attached to William was Eleanor, who was actually responsible for keeping him alive. It's also important to point out that Andrew is wearing an alligator mask and some have suggested he could be the green masked kid in Happiest Day.
(This is just a side theory and likely incorrect but bear with me here. Is the reason that Vengeful Spirit sounds like Baby a lot is because she's actually Eleanor. Whether you like it or not, Eleanotand Baby are extremely similar. That is assuming the Stitchline is even canon which I'll get to. Just food for thought that someone probably already said)
Blackbird features the use of Illusion Disks again, using them to project fears and problems and turning them into horrible monsters. The stalking and nightmares only stops when Nole redeems himself. We also know Eleanor was behind this in some way and could even be Blackbird considering they both use illusion disks.
The Real Jake features a boy with cancer in a hospital named Jake who has a doll named Simon that his father talks to him through. Jake seemingly possesses Simon after he dies and Simon's mask becomes part of Stitchwraith. In actuality, Jake only possessed the mask while Andrew possessed the battery pack, explaining why Jake can see and Andrew can use the power of the animatronic. Again, Jake could be the same Jake from Fetch, placing this story in 2029 at the absolute earliest.
Finally is Hide and Seek which features Shadow Bonnie who here was either Eleanor, controlled by Eleanor, or created by Eleanor from Toby's rage. This also is in present day as Shadow Bonnie is accepted as a character by Fazbear Entertainment, something we see happening starting in Help Wanted. This also puts into question if OG Shadow Bonnie was controlled by Eleanor implying she existed all the way back in 1987 or if this is a new version of Shadow Bonnie.
As for the actual Epilogues, the question I pose is where did Eleanor even come from? When was she created? Is she possessed? To my knowledge, these are never answered, but her earliest appearance is attached to William in the Man in Room 1280. The actual story of the epilogues fits between FFPS and Help Wanted and can definitely fit there fine.
So, with all of this, what is dragging me back from StitchlineGames. Well, it's the fact that there are really only 2 direct links to the games, The MCI in Into the Pit (which is a warped memoey) and Man in Room 1280 (UCN from the outside). Here's the problem, that isn't enough, 2 of the 12 confirmed Stitchwraith stories actually being directly linked to the games is a small amount. Tales from the Pizzaplex is considered canon by most of the community because it has so many more directly connecting it to the games from the Epilogues to Storteller to Mimic to GGY to Help Wanted to Pressure. These all tell us events or details we all know to exist in the games. FF has 2 game connections, one of which is still debated in accuracy.
The thing is, Stitchline games works fine, I've seen posts and videos about how Stitchline doesn't work but I wouldn't call them definitive, it's mainly people saying "we don't know this to happen, so it doesn't happen" or "its parallels". But just like how StitchlineGames has barely any evidence against, it also has barely any evidence for it. The games do not backup the events of these stories, neither does Tales, the characters have never made game appearances, if Andrew is TOYSNHK it feels pointless when there's other characters it could've been instead of creating an entirely new character, and the fact that some of these characters feel like game characters but with different names. The main evidence I see for Stitchline is either people talking about the Man in Room 1280, people saying that characters from the games exist in books as if you couldn't say the same about the put of continuity trilogy novels, or Scott saying some stories were directly connected but not specifying which or what he means by connected.
This is why I have a hard time accepting StitchlineGames as in continuity because the actual evidence is very little compared to Tales which basically slaps you in the face with in-game events and details. It makes sense that it would be in continuity if Tales is in continuity as they share similar formats but it feels so disconnected from the games themselves. For stories that are supposedly directly linked to the games, they don't have a lot of direct links.

Emotionally the two of us are in a bad place and are unhappy with how things are going. Her, I don't know why. I asked. Me, because I feel emotionally drained from the relationship. We're looking into couples counselling if we get there.
However, last week my girlfriend started therapy. She had her first session and asked if I would be comfortable leaving for the duration of the session (1hr) which personally I think was unnecessary and I protested but I have in. In my mind when we live in a 2 bedroom apartment with concrete walls and doors, it's so easy to seperate ourselves.
What bothers me too is that she wouldn't share why she wants this so bad. I asked and she said I don't know. I won't lie, I got incredibly frustrated because I feel like I'm the one always being asked concessions from.
I personally feel hurt that she doesn't feel secure enough even in an environment where she wouldn't see or interact with me. Like I have shit to do, no? I can't have my life revolving around her personal schedule. I also have done talk therapy for 2 years and still occasionally visit my therapist so it's not like I don't know what kind of topics are discussed.
I just don't know what I could've done to effectively be kicked out every week for an hour. I must have been really shitty but I wish I knew how or when or why or any fucking answer.
Is she justified in asking this of me?

Safety Score is logging the trips wrongly for vehicles in Arizona due to daylight saving off. this is what Tesla Insurance customer support agent gives me answer.
I have noticed recently while checking a late night flag under my trips. Where I haven't done any, and returned to my garage before 9.10 PM.
I have started my trip at 8.40PM and returned by 9.10PM.
But I see in the log start time as 9.40PM and end as 10.10PM.
Then I looked into all my other trips, surprisingly I have noticed all other trips are Actual+1hr. Looks there is something with Mountain time (Denver) and Mountain time (Phoenix) issue.
Customer support person says Tesla IT team is aware of the issue and when I said I'm loosing 1hr of late night driving because of this. He says, there are many other insurance companies and I can lookout for others if I'm not interested with Tesla Insurance. :(
Does any one encountered the same problem?
Thanks

My boyfriend of a year and a half dumped me almost 2 months ago. There were problems in the relationship, but I felt completely blindsided by it. He had tried to break up with me a couple times before, but each time was really impulsive (he hadn't planned on breaking up with me) and he ended up changing his mind when I asked him what his reasons were. He's a recovering addict ( 5 years sober), this was his first serious relationship since his sobriety, and I knew he had problems with intimacy. I wanted to be patient with him even though it hurt which I now feel really stupid for. I told him that of course he could break up with me, but I asked him to consider it before hand and make sure it was a planned conversation, not just an impulse. I was committed and really wanted to work through things. He dumped me over text after a fight while I was leaving for a long trip. I was stuck in a car bawling my eyes out. It was devastating. It brought me to a 12 step program for codependency, which was a life saver. He did not explain what had been going on for him when he broke up with me. I was left deeply confused. Two weeks before he told me he was committed to the relationship. He had been away on a trip of his own, and when he returned he gave me a huge pile of presents. He told me he had been thinking really fondly of me on his trips. It has been so hard to accept.
I took the three weeks of the trip NC, and then worked for a few days on a letter which I reviewed with my friends and my therapist. It was basically a reflection on the relationship, on the problems I could see with my behavior, and an invitation to try again with a couples therapist. In retrospect, I was pretty hard on myself. I felt like I must have done something wrong to warrant being broken up with in that way. I also thought he was just overwhelmed and didn't know how to talk about his own issues within the relationship. I really thought he loved me, that he just didn't know how to have conflict or work through things. He responded quickly with an email where he told me his therapist and the people around him thought he shouldn't talk to me. He told me that he was sorry it was messy but "this is just how breakups go sometimes." He didn't provide any information on why he broke up with me. I responded impulsively asking him why he broke up with me, laying out some guesses I had. He never replied.
I took another three weeks. I wrote another email saying that I was accepting that the relationship ended but I was still really confused, that I really wanted to talk through what happened to get some closure. He replied quickly again saying that his therapist told him he shouldn't talk to me in person or on the phone, that he wasn't ready nor did he know if he would ever be ready to talk about what happened. His reply was really robotic. He told me the guesses I mentioned in my previous email were not the reasons, but didn't clarify with his actual reasons. I was completely gutted, but I took my time to respond. I have been trying really hard to handle this breakup in a sane, mature way.
In my previous letters I had been pretty diplomatic. I hoped that we would be able to actually have a discussion about what happened so I didn't go into much detail about how the breakup had hurt me. I think I didn't want to scare him off by confronting him with how his behavior effected me. I decided that since he was unwilling to talk, I would say my piece and establish that I would not reach out again. The last one I sent, I laid out what happened from my perspective. I told him how confused I was, how I really didn't suspect that relationship was going to end. I told him how I felt blindsided, how I felt that he was withdrawing and shutting me out. I told him all of the guesses I had about what might have been going on for him, but reiterated that they were only guesses because he hadn't told me what happened. I told him that I was angry, that I felt betrayed. I told him that the way he broke up with me left me feeling like a monster. I told him it is how I would draw a boundary with someone who had crossed a serious line with me. It felt like I had done something really wrong to warrant such a harsh cut off with no explanation. That his constantly referencing his therapist was inappropriate and also left me worrying, in darker moments, that they felt like I was dangerous. I also told him that I didn't think he was acting maliciously. I told him that I guessed he was acting this way because he was overwhelmed or didn't know how to handle the situation. I told him that I cared for him, that the relationship was incredibly important to me. I told him how much it hurt not to know why the relationship ended.
He replied that he felt like the breakup had been months in the making and implied that it was obvious to him. He said felt stressed out by the relationship. I was aware of that, but he never told me what was specifically was stressful about it. Not during our relationship, and not in any of his responses. He said that he didn't think I did anything wrong. That he didn't understand where my guesses were coming from. He said that I was an "amazing person". He also turned a bunch of things I said in my email around on me. He said I was bringing up "side issues", that I was "litigating" the relationship. He said he felt that what *I* had brought up was "none of his business" which is the phrase I used when I mentioned him bringing up his therapist in our conversations. He said he hadn't withdrawn or shut down because he replied to me emails even though a) I was the one who reached out post break up and b) his emails contained no actual information about what happened. He finished off by saying he would not read any more emails from me, despite the fact that I told him in my email I wouldn't contact him again. He had to leave it at "you can't fire me! I quit!"
When I first got the email, I felt completely insane. It felt like he and I were on completely different planets. I felt like, oh my god, did I just miss all of this stuff completely? Was it obvious we were going to break up? It was devastating. I am coming back to myself. I know that there is something really off. I know that his behavior and the way he handled the breakup is extremely immature. It's like how you would break up with someone in high school or college (we are in our 30s) with a little therapy jargon thrown on top. I know that healthy adults don't treat people they care about like this. That even in a breakup, people deserve answers and a sober discussion of what happened. I also know that he can't give that to me. That people leave relationships the only way they know how. It has been so hard to accept. I really really believed in him. I believed he was working on himself. I know that addicts in recovery often come up against codependency and find relationships to be really triggering. I know that his unwillingness to work on the relationship in a collaborative way (not just bottling things up til he reaches a breaking point) and his subsequent cutting and running have to do with the unresolved issues that under-girded his addiction. I know he will probably have to repeat this pattern to recognize it and want to change it. But I miss the person I love. I don't want him to be hurting and I don't want to lose him. I wish I could help him fix it. In my recovery work I have been praying for a willingness to accept what is actually happening. I know I'm moving closer to it, but I feel like I have been cut open. I'm tired of crying every day. This is the first time in my life I have really tried to be open to my grief. I know I am healing but it hurts so much.

I’ve already posted this on another forum but wanted to post here because this is a larger community and I’m curious if anyone has some Islamic ruling/advice on the situation. Options welcome, support encouraged.
So basically this story is a warning for girls seeking out potentials. I had a friend recently end an engagement with a Muslim man (pakistani 30m) from the Midwest. He lives in a big city in Kentucky and works for a big phone company in a high paying position and his mom and sister live in another state but only a couple of hours away around Indiana. Basically this guy and his family led her and her family on to book a venue and vendors for nikkah/baraat, and they put in thousands for the event. All the while the guys side were completely unreliable and didn’t book one thing for the Walima event. And every time my friend would ask about this or call him out, he would get defensive but tell her they’d figure it out and to just continue on her end. His mom would barely contact her parents and sometimes ignored them completely. They were very disrespectful to her family and would lie about small unimportant things. When she met the family in person, she said there was something off because the girls in the family weren’t even invited to eat with everyone and instead basically just acted as servers. And the mom was very inappropriate and lacked a lot of self awareness by asking personal probing questions. My friend actually went to see this guy a little while ago while traveling through the area and he met her family and was really touchy with her, so she assumed even though they were having issues he was going to move forward with the wedding. She hasn’t even held another guys hand before this. Well not even a week later he started to ghost her completely. And his mom who already didn’t communicate with her family stopped answering her phone too. She lives far away so she can’t just go over and ask what’s up. She actually thought he got into an accident because he just ghosted her so abruptly (they talked daily before this for hours). Then four days later he texts her using from copy pasted breakup line from the internet about how they had different goals and should end the relationship. He was so pathetic he couldn’t even own up to his mistake and call her to end things amicably. But by that point she was so relieved she didn’t try calling him or reaching out again. He ended things less than six week before they were supposed to get married. Basically her family is out over 10k but even they didn’t like the guy so they’re happy this happened before the nikkah. But the guys side lost nothing because they didn’t even plan anything at this point. Luckily my friend stopped booking vendors and didn’t tell anyone in our community or work she was getting married when the guy started to act strange, so she does not have to deal with any embarrassment from the fallout. She is a practicing Muslim and he wasn’t, but he wanted a traditional Muslim girl. She later told us he was very inappropriate and would ask for nudes (Alhumdulillah she never sent them) and he would make jokes about taking on multiple wives just to make her upset and would joke about how Islam allows men to hit women who get out of line. It makes me so angry that he misused Islam to defend his arrogance and selfishness. And she is such a patient and kind person, she didn’t even want to say anything to hurt him, so even though she was uncomfortable with everything she thought she didn’t have any choice in ending the marriage once she got engaged.
This is just a warning to other girls. Please stay away from men like this. People do not alway have your best intentions, and they will lie to you in the beginning to get engaged and then change their ways when they think they have secured you. He was a good candidate on paper. Good job, well educated. interesting hobbies, close to family, but within two months his real character was revealed. She initially said yes because he was so kind and sweet to her. He has vitiligo and was vulnerable about that which caused her to really like him and protect him when people would be critical of his appearance. But he changed so abruptly after they got engaged. And she thought she had to protect him as her future husband, so she never told me or anyone else something was wrong, even when he started to ask for nudes or try to have inappropriate sexual conversations with her. A Muslim man should not be doing this. Please get your families to vet these people out. And ask the men in your family to meet potential candidates multiple times before you agree to an engagement. And please girls, do not rush into anything. My friend wanted a long engagement period but was pressured by the guys family to keep it only four months. Please don’t underestimate the value of isthikara and trust Allah. He will protect you from misguidance and in sha Allah put good people in your path. My friend MashAllah got accepted to medical school. And instead of getting married in a month, she’s going to start her journey to become a doctor this fall. She is also getting much better proposals since a lot of people are looking out for her now since this incident. She is a very sweet girl and she has always gone above and beyond for me and my whole family even when it’s inconvenient for her. She truly deserves someone worthy of her who will treat her like a princess. And I hope any girls who this guy may potentially talk to in the future see this post and run the opposite direction. I would love to call this jerk out by name but I will hold my tongue.
I am curious to see other people’s opinions on this. Any advice or opinions are welcome. I’m also curious to know if anyone has any defense for this guys behavior. Does anyone know any Hadith or dua that she was recite during this time. Even though she’s very relieved, she is upset about how disrespectful he was at the end and especially towards her family.

Here are six strategies for cybersecurity risk mitigation:
1) Implement Strong Access Controls 2) Regularly Update and Patch Systems 3) Conduct Regular Security Assessments 4) Educate and Train Employees 5) Implement Network Segmentation 6) Establish Incident Response Plan
Remember, cybersecurity is an ongoing process that requires a combination of technical controls, employee awareness, and proactive measures to effectively mitigate risks. By implementing these strategies, organizations can enhance their cybersecurity posture and reduce the likelihood and impact of cyber threats.

When I got absolutely fed up with my Canon Pixma inkjet printer seemingly never working and always needing new ink cartridges on every rare occasion I ever found myself needing to print something, I went all in trying to figure out how to end the bullshit cycle.
People usually point to Brother printers, but I was extremely disturbed to encounter this thread about a Brother firmware update preventing the printer from using third-party ink. People often also turn to laserjet printers, but none of the laserjet printers I was interested in would fit in the cabinet I was keeping my printer in. I was about to order a Lexmark laserjet printer anyway, when I was immensely disturbed by this packaging on the toner cartridges somebody on Amazon shared. I suspected Xerox's clone of the Lexmark printer, the C235, would be similar. I eventually gave up and just ordered some relatively inexpensive remanufactured Pixma ink cartridges by Staples, and accepted that $37 was the annual operating cost of an inkjet (not really a big deal, and perhaps even appropriate in the grand scheme of things). I also took a moment to enjoy watching this video that an printers user had linked in one of the many angsty threads here.
But then I went and actually looked up the SCOTUS decision of Impression Products vs Lexmark. Impression Products had been remanufacturing Lexmark ink cartridges, topping them off with ink and making sure the heads were in good working order, etc, and selling these cartridges to the public at a discount to what Lexmark was charging for the same functional product. Impression Products won their case with Lexmark, and I realized that this court decision was likely why I was able to order Staples-remanufactured ink cartridges for my Pixma at a discount below the Canon-branded cartridges. It further occurred to me that this could be really broadly significant as a consumer to sidestep being exploited by the current state of the printer industry.
Everyone is struggling to answer the question of what printer company fucks over its consumers the least, a framing that likely reflects the consumer's immediate dilemma of 'which printer can initially I buy to most avoid getting screwed over'. The answer to the general sentiment may not actually be any particular printer brand or model, but rather the practice of purchasing remanufactured ink cartridges afterwards, as well as the recycling of used ink cartridges to third parties. Purchasing and third-party recycling ink cartridges wholly averts the entire business model printer manufacturers seem to be predicated on that we get so frustrated by as consumers. Doing this forces to them to compete on the merit of the printers themselves, and pressures ink cartridge prices downwards closer to their actual manufacturing cost. It also develops the third party industry surrounding printers, who can go on to file class-action right-to-repair lawsuits against printer companies engaging in practices such as blocking third-party remanufactured cartridges through the use of firmware (litigation that may not happen from dispersed consumers).
tl;dr: it may not be a matter of figuring out which printer company is the least awful as you're initially trying to shop for a printer that doesn't screw you over, but rather it's the practice of buying remanufactured ink after you purchase your printer and recycling used printer cartridges with third-parties

Sup its Anthony back at it again with another post. I was kinda rambling by myself writing tips and I figured I should share them with you guys. Here are 10 common mistakes most Evelynn players do that are holding them back in their games.

1. Not looking at lanes enough. I suggest starting slowly. Every time you kill a jungle camp stop moving and watch every lane for 2 seconds. Then add watching every lane while walking between jungle camps while also not stopping to move and finally add looking at lanes while you kill the jungle camp. Jungle monsters are NPC and they will always move the same way (except krugs. fk krugs) so first get used to what they do and how to clear every camp.
   
2. Not looking at map enough. You don't have to be looking at your champion when you are doing camps the same way you don't look at your steering wheel while driving. I watch the minimap more often than my screen. You can easily tell if someone flashed and if a fight is happening and much more. The way I learned how to do that is to go on youtube and search "Map Awareness Exercise". Every time you hear the sound, look at your minimap. It will make you 100x the player you are.
   
3. Caring about what your laners think. Like it or not, Evelynn is a solo champion. My friends hate me when I play evelynn with them even if we win all the time. If your team enjoys playing with you, good chances are that you're playing her incorrectly. You need as much gold as possible and often times it means letting your team die, not joining a bad fight, going in the side lane when a big wave is crashing while your team is mid, waiting for the right opportunity and more. (I will also be making a video on my youtube channel that I will post on the subreddit to show you what I mean in even more details). You need gold and AS MUCH GOLD DIFFERENCE AS POSSIBLE***. Even Faker will lose vs a silver player if the silver player is full build and faker has no items.
   
4. Using W too early. You only want to W when you are 100% sure can take advantage of it, otherwise just don't use it (sounds simple I know, but Evelynn doesn't even need W most of the time so people don't actually get to learn to use it correctly because there is little to no punishment for bad use of W). I've found that the perfect time to use W is when you're almost in passive range, even pre 6. Walk at them as close as possible first and NEVER use W at max range. Ofc you can always use W to scare enemies away, use it as a slow or to make them walk into death (you) when they have no vision of you.
   
5. Being impatient. You are invisible. Most evelynn players will go in as soon as they see an opportunity, but there is a lot of value in going at the last second. You can for example blow a flash for free because the enemy adc needs 2 more auto attacks so they flash in to kill your support and BAM you're there, if you had went in from the start he might have flashed away from you! Waiting for DANGER abilities is also very important, wait for ahri to use charm, wait for thresh to use hook, etc. DANGER abilities are the ones that if you get hit by, you will either 100% die or you will have to blow ult/flash to survive which is hella not worth. Being invisible during a fight puts SOOO much pressure and gives you new and often better opportunities.
   
6. Missing Q. Its better to wait and make sure you have the right angle and the right position to hit Q as missing it will result in you doing absolutetly 0 damage and wondering why "evelynn is so weak right now". Btw evelynn Q comes out from a little behind her so if you E first you can't miss it since you're on top of them. Be patient and get close and move in a comfortable position. An easy way to hit more skillshots is to throw them in the same direction as the lane/river you're fighting in. Throwing abilities perpendicularly is #1 way of missing them.
   
7. Trying to innovate. Just copy what top evelynn players are doing with their runes and builds. You might think you are the prodigy that just discovered this new secret technology cosmic drive shadowflame dark harvest build but I promise you it is SOO bad. Lich bane for example is a placebo. One of the main reasons low elo players think its sooo good on evelynn is because they cannot land their Q while E is point and click, the extra lich bane damage on E feels like you're accomplishing something but in reality you're gimping yourself of a lot more damage if you just learned how to hit Q. If you have a lot of ap, you can kill someone with just a single Q, you don't even need to get in range to use E. Evelynn Q and R have RIDICULOUS ap scaling (195% on Q and 180% on R). Lich is good on evelynn but its not broken like rabadons is and its also 3000 gold so if they build magic resist you are screwed and need to save up for void staff now and until then you won't be doing much damage. I prefer to go for void staff most of the time after rabadons because you are now prepared in case they build magic resist and you should already be 1 shotting carries regardless if you have lich or not.
   
8. Not going for pre 6 plays. farming until 6 is NOT VIABLE as a game plan. It is the backup plan. Level 3 and level 4 ganks on evelynn are very easy and laners love to trade so go snag some free kills. To add onto that, ganking for a flash is NOT WORTH. You gank for kills only. Look 2 seconds. Do you have the damage to kill them with your combo? yes? ok gank. no? ok dont gank. end of the deal. Dont overthink it. I suggest just trying it out and spam ganking at random times by just walking up and praying to god the gank works for some games until you learn what a good gank looks like and when the enemy is killable from what amount of hp depending on your level/items.
   
9. Not farming enough, the most common mistakes evelynn players I coach do is that they will wait 1+ minutes doing nothing at all with all their jungle up. While kills>everything on Evelynn, DO NOT FORCE A GANK. I promise you, there are a LOT of opportunities to gank. Clear at least one side of the jungle (ideally all of it) before ganking, even if your ultimate is up. The only time you want to force a gank is when your team is struggling very hard and an enemy has a bounty and you NEED to kill them to come back, exceptions exist ofc. Its 10x better to be farming all your jungle in 1 minute for 400 gold than be waiting 2 minutes for a 300 gold kill or worse, only getting assist in a gank you waited so long for. Its simply not worth it. You can always kill them later. You scale, don't stress out.
   
10. Dying. Dying is the worst thing you can do on evelynn. Evelynn ap ratios are INSANE. Like I don't think people realize you have as much AP scaling on evelynn Q ALONE as ahri Q out + ahri Q return + ahri W all 3 on the single focus on the same target and more ap scaling that veigar Q+W. You NEED dark seal 100% of the games even if you're not going mejais. Dying with dark seal makes you lose ap. Never die. Dying also puts you behind in gold because not only can't you farm or gank and you lose a lot of pressure, but the enemy can farm your camps, farm their own camps, farm minions and take objectives. Dying is literally the same thing as disconnecting from the game for 1 minute and giving the enemy 300 gold at the same time. Dying when you have a bounty is like going afk for 5 minutes. Might as well afk if you are going to die at least you won't be giving them gold (this is a joke by the way, do not go afk and tell your team that Anthony told you to do so). If you think you are going to die, run and go do something else on the map.
    

And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Let me know if you like this type of post here and ask any questions you may have, I read and answer every single one!

This one may be both very stupid AND pedenatically pointless lol But if you'll humour my foolishness:
The obvious answer, I know, is shows that predominantly and fundamentally feature (always or only sometimes recurring?) characters in 'situational comedy' situations. In other words, technically sit com obviously means situational comedy.
But like colloquially, where do we (or you) draw the line? Like when I think of sitcom my mind immediately goes to shows like Seinfeld, Two and Half Men, The Big Bang Theory, Modern Family and many other of similar ilk (both ones I've seen and enjoyed at various times like the aforementioned, and a myriad of others that I am aware of through pop culture and advertising etc, such as Happy Days and Mike & Molly or something? My point is, there are shows that I just instinctually consider sitcoms (and I would suggest correctly so) without giving it much thought, as I'm sure most people do.
But then I think about shows like Family Guy (just as an example, there are definitely plenty), which pretty much by all definitions is a sitcom, just in cartoon form. And I guess I would technically define it this way if I were pressed, but I think I instinctually consider it to be more of an...'adult comedy cartoon'? I guess? Haha for lack of a better term. And obviously things can be more than just one thing; and it may very well be both an adult comedy cartoon AND a sitcom - why not? 🤷 I'm not saying they're mutually exclusive, in fact I would say that the simplest answer is that that's exactly what it is, and more. I.e. things belong to many different categories depending on its own unique...blah blah blah hahaha
But I just was curious as to whether most people define 'sitcom' in such a broad, umbrella context, or if people's individual understanding of the word's colloquial meaning differed much. Got a problem? Sue me 😁😂
Nah haha feel free to ignore, just bored and in need of even such an inane level stimulation lol
TL;DR (or didn't care): how do you define what a sitcom show is, on a day to day level?
Cheers all, much love ❤️
