The marietta times obituaries

Hi!
I’ll be visiting Madrid (31st March to 3rd April) and Barcelona (4th April to 7th April) with a group of friends. All of us are postgraduate students. Looking for people who have any tips, recommendations on what to do. If you are visiting around the same time, or live there and can show us around and have a good time, please do hit us up, would be wonderful to meet up with someone to roam around!
Bars, clubs, beaches, museums, food recommendations and plans are always great. We love to party, but also want to sightsee and visit some cultural things and famous landmarks/monuments in the city. Single as well so open to seeing how it goes between us :)
Also, I’m a Barca fan, so if you can hook me up with an El Clasico ticket I’ll be eternally grateful.
Cheers, and hope to hear from you soon!
Prefer chats over PM.

I haven't played lol for a relatively long time and with the new changes im unsure how to play against these champs:
Xerath Syndra Lux(i just get annoyed)
And most of the time i get tilted because I dont know what am I doing wrong or what should I rescpet and what should I punish
And I want to know that should I take HoB against them or stick with LT?

So i’m leaving the state for awhile in 2 weeks. I don’t know when or if I will be back. My friend has a cabin 4 hours away from where we live. There is no service at this place which doesn’t bother me. We used to take our dirt bikes up and ride which was a blast, but we’re not taking them this time. There isn’t much to do at this place. We play a game where you hit a nail into a log. i’m sure someone has seen it on the internet. Unfortunately that’s the most fun there is up there. Last time I went there we were finding ticks everywhere. I had one on my chest throughout the whole night and didn’t find it until the next morning. I can’t get sick, if i get sick it will prolong my leave. I’ve never really slept when i’ve been there. Maybe max 3-5 hours a night. My acne also flares up like crazy even though i continue my skin care up there. After we get bored of the nail game it resorts to sitting inside. It’s also still pretty cold up there. Basically whatever we’re gonna do up there can be done here plus some other things to do. I know what I want to do, which is not go. I feel bad though because i’m gonna be leaving them for a long time. Just looking for some advice on what you guys think. Appreciate it.

I think my boyfriend has OCD and I’m starting to doubt if I can do this. For context he’s 18m and I’m 17f and we’ve been together for 8 months (not a super long time but I genuinely love him) It feels immature to post this on the internet but I need to get it off my chest.
I’m diagnosed with a few mental illnesses myself so I have no problem with helping people and listening to them vent it’s just that my bf refuses to admit that he has a problem. I told him he could try therapy but he went once and said it helped but he doesn’t know what else they could do for him. I do what I can to make him feel better but it’s getting to the point that he’s emotionally dependent on me. I can’t walk away from my phone for too long because I’m scared that he’ll freak out. I once didn’t have my phone for 1 and a half hours since I was in class and writing a test and when I got my phone back I had 13 missed texts from him and 2 missed calls. He also went as far as asking all of our friends if they had seen me lately and just completely freaking out at the fact that I hadn’t answered. When I was younger I watched my mom go through a few manipulative relationships before she met my step dad and this feels like the start of being stuck in a situation like that.
I wish I could say that was the only time he had done that, but he has such a habit of spamming me when I don’t answer. And when I say spamming it’s not like a bunch of dots in a row it looks like a bunch of paragraphs it looks more like “I hope ur doing okay I love you ” and then as I don’t answer you can see him spiraling and worrying. “Babe?” And then it gets like “Can you just answer so I know ur safe” “Babe are you okay?” And just 5 more texts along those lines. He’s such a sweet human being but this drives me insane so we talked about it and he agreed to give me more of a grace period before he starts freaking out if I try harder to text him and warn him I’m not gonna have my phone. But he still freaks out if I forget to tell him that I’m home safe and in his defense my step dad did just die from a trucking accident so ig he’s worried that I’ll like crash my car.
Anyways he also does this thing where he creates problems and worries about them and everytime he has a worry he texts me paragraphs about it and it doesn’t matter what I’m doing I’ll get paragraphs of him ranting. Sometimes I’m at work and he’s spamming me about stuff that’s making him anxious but 90% of the time it makes no sense. The one time he was freaking out because he thought he had an std (he was a virgin when we started dating and I slept with a whole 1 other person) so it doesn’t make sense and feels like he doesn’t trust me but he’s since apologized for making it seem like he doesn’t trust me. Once it was his dog would die at some point and he didn’t want that to happen. All while I was at work. So I started leaving my phone in the locker upstairs (like I’m supposed to anyways) and silencing my phone and telling him it’ll be on silent.
Whenever I try to tell him that he can’t do that at work he apologizes says I’m right but ends up doing it again anyways. I try not to be too reassuring when he’s sending me paragraphs because it feels like I’m just making him more dependent on me and I sorta made this situation like this after I told him it’s okay to always talk to me. I just wish he would get help because he is genuinely a very sweet human being and I care about him but it’s so exhausting being that person who always listens. On top of my step dad dying a few months into our relationship (it was 5 months ago now) and I just haven’t been the same.

For context, my boyfriend (w) (16) and I, (15 f) have been together for about 7 months now. He's super sweet and the most loyal boy I've met by far. I trust him a lot, he'd never do anything to hurt me but he can be a bit oblivious. His best friend on the other hand... I hate. We'll call him M. M was born as a female but sometimes(?) Identifies as a male. I am homeschooled now but used to attend the school they go to. M is dating my best friend but treats then like crap while cheating and calling it being poly. M told one of my friends that he likes my boyfriend and I heard that M had been flirting with W. (Playful punching, taking is phone and acting "cute", being territorial about sitting next to him and so on) I confronted W about it and he kinda laughed and said "babe no" laughing at the idea of dating M. He reassured me that nothing is going on between them and I believe that on his end but I feel like M is gonna try doing something. M and I have hated each other for a long time. We've tried being friends but M is an entitled bitch who thinks he can do whatever to whoever and when ever he wants. I don't take shit and he freaks out whenever he gets called out.
Side note: I am not homophobic or trans phobic. I am bisexual and have many friends who are a part of the community. M is the kind of person that give us a bad name.

Eliezer Yudkowsky, who's been working on aligning Artificial General Intelligence since 2001 and is widely regarded as a founder of the field, calls for an indefinite halt for all AI research, or consequences can be dire.
Many researchers steeped in these issues, including myself, expect that the most likely result of building a superhumanly smart AI, under anything remotely like the current circumstances, is that literally everyone on Earth will die. Not as in “maybe possibly some remote chance,” but as in “that is the obvious thing that would happen.”
The likely result of humanity facing down an opposed superhuman intelligence is a total loss. Valid metaphors include “a 10-year-old trying to play chess against Stockfish 15”, “the 11th century trying to fight the 21st century,” and “Australopithecus trying to fight Homo sapiens“.
If somebody builds a too-powerful AI, under present conditions, I expect that every single member of the human species and all biological life on Earth dies shortly thereafter.
There’s no proposed plan for how we could do any such thing and survive. OpenAI’s openly declared intention is to make some future AI do our AI alignment homework. Just hearing that this is the plan ought to be enough to get any sensible person to panic. The other leading AI lab, DeepMind, has no plan at all.
...(if) GPT-5 is the same size of giant capability step as from GPT-3 to GPT-4, I think we’ll no longer be able to justifiably say “probably not self-aware” if we let people make GPT-5s. It’ll just be “I don’t know; nobody knows.” If you can’t be sure whether you’re creating a self-aware AI, this is alarming not just because of the moral implications of the “self-aware” part, but because being unsure means you have no idea what you are doing and that is dangerous and you should stop.
It took more than 60 years between when the notion of Artificial Intelligence was first proposed and studied, and for us to reach today’s capabilities. Solving safety of superhuman intelligence—not perfect safety, safety in the sense of “not killing literally everyone”—could very reasonably take at least half that long. And the thing about trying this with superhuman intelligence is that if you get that wrong on the first try, you do not get to learn from your mistakes, because you are dead.
We are not prepared. We are not on course to be prepared in any reasonable time window. There is no plan. Progress in AI capabilities is running vastly, vastly ahead of progress in AI alignment or even progress in understanding what the hell is going on inside those systems. If we actually do this, we are all going to die.
Shut it all down.
We are not ready. We are not on track to be significantly readier in the foreseeable future. If we go ahead on this everyone will die, including children who did not choose this and did not do anything wrong.
Shut it down.

Do not spend so much time trying to be more physically attractive to just impress your crush rather than making yourself mentally attractive.
Educate yourself, address the recurring toxic thoughts that will harm you in the future and try to overcome them, deal with your insecurities, and learn to be happy on your own. Thats attractive.
Normalize saying "NO" without needing to over-explain yourself. Maintain your boundaries and if someone is offended by your boundaries, that's their problem, not yours. The best weight you'll ever lose is the weight of others' opinions of you.
Don't subscribe to other people's definition of "FUN" The fun doesn't always mean partying, drinking, or socializing. Fun can be a night alone, getting lost in a book, having a deep conversation, walking on a wet street, creating art, painting, music, writing your random thoughts, or doing any other chores. Fun is yours, you define it.
Before you get married, discuss bills, parenting styles, credit, debt, how to deal with family, what belief will be installed in your children, childhood traumas, sexual expectations, partner expectations, family health history, dream home, career, education, and whatever else comes in mind. In today's generation love isn't enough.
Heal before having children so your children don't have to heal from having you as a parent.
The age of 16 to 30 is the golden era of your life. You make friends, you lose them too. You make mistakes and correct them too. You fall, you fail, you get betrayed, you learn, you realize, you hit reality you fall in love, and get hurt too. You lose yourself and eventually become stronger. Remember, these are the best years of your life you should understand the difference between enjoying it and ruining it. Lemme know if I missed something.

Hi.
I wanted to ask how long it will take to graduate with an elementary education degree from WGU? When in the program can I expect to student teach, etc.? (yes ik that theoretical time to complete degree can deviate from actual time. Still interested in hearing ppl's experiences with this program)

I haven’t been in a relationship for years but when I was in love previously it didn’t matter how my partner looked I was in love with him and none of it mattered. Why now do I obsess over everything from the hairline to the fashion. I get love isn’t supposed to be a fairy tale but this is just so damn jarring.

"Investment Success: Using Brito's 80/20 Law to Maximize Returns"
The 80/20 law, also known as the Pareto principle, is a concept named after Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto. The principle states that roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. This principle has been observed in a wide range of contexts, from economics to biology, and has been applied to various areas of life.
In the world of investment, the 80/20 principle can be a useful tool for investors to focus their efforts on the most important factors that drive returns. By identifying the key drivers of investment returns, investors can allocate their time and resources more effectively, and potentially generate better returns with less effort.
One way to apply the 80/20 principle to investment is to focus on the 20% of stocks that generate 80% of the market's returns. According to research by Bessembinder (2017), only 4% of stocks account for the entire net gain of the US stock market since 1926. This means that investors who are able to identify these top-performing stocks early on can potentially generate outsized returns.
One approach to identifying these top-performing stocks is to use quantitative screens. Quantitative screens are automated tools that scan the market for stocks that meet specific criteria, such as low valuation multiples or high earnings growth rates. By using these screens, investors can quickly identify a shortlist of stocks that meet their investment criteria, and focus their research efforts on these high-potential stocks.
Another approach is to use qualitative analysis to identify stocks with strong competitive advantages. By focusing on companies with unique technologies or dominant market positions, investors can identify stocks that are more likely to generate strong returns over the long term. For example, investors may focus on companies with patents or proprietary technologies that give them a competitive edge in their industry.
In addition to focusing their research efforts, investors can also use the 80/20 principle to optimize their investment portfolio. By focusing their portfolio on the top-performing stocks or asset classes, investors can potentially generate better returns with less risk.
For example, investors can use the 80/20 principle to identify the top-performing asset classes, such as stocks or real estate or bonds, and allocate their portfolio accordingly.
In conclusion, the 80/20 principle can be a powerful tool for investors looking to optimize their investment research process and portfolio. By focusing their research efforts on the top-performing stocks and using quantitative and qualitative analysis to identify high-potential investments, investors can potentially generate better returns with less effort. Similarly, by focusing their portfolio on the top-performing stocks and asset classes, investors can reduce their overall risk while potentially increasing their returns over the long term.

Why does every interact with the things they so
Your attention is equal to time spent and time paid. You pay when you see that sign on the road. You pay when you watch the advertisements shaping your neurons on tv. You pay with age. You pay when you invest life savings into ethereum. You pay when you buy the bmw with 200,000kms on it. You pay when you @gree to “go out” with a girl. It’s called “going out” implies you have to pay. Because what else are you gonna do? She’s not gonna pay? This is your decision. You gotta have fun sure but isnt it better having money? What are you gonna do if your not at work? If you’re working all the time you’re paying (tradiing pain for purpose and self esteem) there isn’t any reason you just are. The duality of life isn’t it l. Live by the eftpos card die by the atm machine. You sleep to recharge you batteries so you can wake up and experience pain, the.n what? Not really, I disagree. Itbhurts my ego when you’re ideas conflict with me. I’m going yo argue with you for the sake of arguing and nothing else. What?

TLDR: I(25M) stalk my girlfriend's(25F) exes and her friends impulsively. We have been in a relationship for 3 months.
I feel guilty about this. Initially, I felt intrigued to check her exes and the people she dated when we were seeing each other(3 months ago). But I have observed since a few weeks almost every day, I opened her IG account then her followers list and go through her friend's profiles or guys she matched on bumble(before meeting me) or search her exes(and their friends) on IG(rarely facebook) and stalk them, see whose post she has liked or commented on. I don't know what conclusion I'm trying to make to myself. I love her very much and she also does. I do all the basic work I'm supposed to do like working, going to gym, and reading too. Consciously I know that this is a very weird thing to do and I feel bad about this impulsive habit of mine. I never asked questions about her exes or previous dates but we have discussed them a few times before.
Please help me with some advice or steps I should follow to stop this.

My ex broke things off recently, partly mental health but partly how I was dealing with her bad days. She lost her 2 year old son 3 years ago and has only just accepted help for it. She’s also taken time off work after witnessing a little boy passing away late February in the hospital she works and she recently miscarried our baby 2 weeks ago.
This is new to me and I’ve not had experienced living with a partner who has depression so I’ve assisted to her mental health problems such as taking her bad moments personally and walking out the room, we were in the city and she was feeling ill and I tried to comfort her but she told me to “f*ck off” which made me walk off from her (i hate myself for doing this).
All this led to her breaking things off and going back to her mums where her comfort zone is but she told me she “loves me but isn’t in love with me” and was angry when I backed off after the breakup saying i’m supposed to be supporting her but it seems I can’t run away quick enough. That my actions don’t meet my words and that I’ not emotionally strong enough to deal with her situation (which is correct so I’m addressing these issues with therapy).
I gave off the wrong impressions and this is new to me but I want to support her through this. I recently sent her a heartfelt letter about wanting to support her and apologising for how I dealt with everything.
She called the next day and was calmer, open to the idea of me being there but my actions had to match my words. She gave me a list of things she wanted me to work on whilst she got therapy for her grief and depression and said lets see where we both are in 6-12 months.
We last spoke on Tuesday and I plan to drop her a light hearted message to try and make her smile at the weekend.
How often should I reach out to her to show I care but to also not invade her space too much? She likes to be in her own world a lot of the time. I want my actions to meet my words like she says but not sure on the balance of contact?

Just in case you aren't aware dear reader, Grand Theft Auto is kind of a cultural phenomenon. The fifth game, particularly its internet component (known simply as "GTA Online"), is by some measures the most successful video game of all time. Naturally, anticipation for GTA 6 is running high, and any tiny tidbit of information is tantalizing to the fans who have been waiting since 2013 for an taste of the new game.
50cent gta6 vice city tweet
Well, the latest teaser comes from a somewhat-unlikely but perhaps unsurprising source: Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson. The longtime rapper hasn't published that much music recently, but that's probably because he's been focused on building his media empire, instead: for more than a decade he's been lending his name, funds, and creative talent to a multitude of films and TV shows. Among those was the show "Power" which ran from 2014 to 2020, and was well-regarded by fans.
Apparently, what "Fifty" is working on now is "even bigger than Power," at least according to a recent tweet by him. What's that have to do with Grand Theft Auto? Along with the message, he tweeted the Vice City logo. Vice City is all-but-confirmed to be the locale of the next Grand Theft Auto game, which means that Jackson is likely going to play a role of some kind—possibly a major role—in Grand Theft Auto 6.

If so, then Jackson will join the grand tradition of celebrity voice actors in "GTA" games. It's not hard to imagine a role for the 47-year-old performer within the world of Grand Theft Auto. His pseudonym was inspired by an infamous criminal from the 1980s, and many of his raps are about his experiences on the streets.
Grand Theft Auto 6 has no release date; Rockstar has barely even confirmed that the game exists. A major leak last year revealed surprisingly little aside from confirmation that the game will have multiple protagonists including a Latin woman named Lucia. Recent leaks include that the game will apparently feature bleeding-edge tech including "ahead of its time" water simulation—a perfect fit given the game's tropical Vice City setting.

Hey guys, by the time you read this, it's too late, live on the 5th floor of my building and I am going to jump, my grandma and the man who raised me died a week apart while I was grieving the suicide of my best friend, I'd everything happens for a reason, the reasons why those things happened is because i am no longer allowed to be alive.

Hey everyone! I've been working on an app for discovering (and rating) sensory-friendly locations around the world as a side project for some time now, originally to help my own family and others. I'm excited to share the latest update with you all.
Version 2.0 introduces AI-powered suggestions, making it easier to find sensory-friendly places nearby when there aren't reviews available in a given area.
Besides the new feature, this update also comes with enhanced speed, responsiveness, and some bug fixes. Please give it a try and spread the word! Together, let's shape a world that's friendlier for neurodivergent individuals and families.
As you can see from our previous post (Discover and rate sensory-friendly places : AutisticPride (reddit.com)), NeuroHub was made in consultation with the neurodivergent community, and I genuinely hope it helps you and/or your loved ones.
