Am I at a lull or does the show return to glory soon?

Started listening to MSSP this year, but decided to start it from the beginning. I go for a ton of walks and bike rides so having the pod helps a lot. The old testament was actually fucking hilarious, and I completely understand when fans talk about them before they had eyes on them were more unhinged and spicy. That kind of bums me out a bit, cause it feels like in the episodes after you're not getting the God's honest truth from both the boys on anything as they begun pulling punches after the SNL thing.

Pod was absolutely fantastic until I got to like the 400th episode or something, I got up to 447 and I just don't know if I can go on anymore. The show at this time turns weirdly into "guy noises" where Matt and Shane have two or three random dudes on and they all yell and laugh loud as shit at dumb innocuous things and Matt barely gets a word in just sits back. Matt was always the best part of the cast, especially in quiet times with Shane, and then in these loud douchebags rooms he just chills while randoms yell and shit. It kind of sucks.

I used to look forward to my walks but the past couple weeks have really sucked because the cast's aren't just Matt and Shane anymore, there's always some jackass to introduce or talk with, and the Oasis of the show was always just Matt and Shane "checking in" with each other. I don't give a fuck about these random assholes, celebrity or not. I just want to hear whatever weird shit Matt was reading or researching, Shane's misadventures with his friends or complaining about his bbg, and Phil come in to call them assholes. What the show was.

Should I just pickup my ball and go home, or pay the paytch and see if there's any old episodes I can still salvage? Is the show in essence just this from here on out, should I stop?

Every Mic Muted, No Ban, Settings Good, Mic and Controller Function

Every Mic is muted on every game I enter. My system settings are set and work with every other game. My call of duty settings are the same, and have never been changed. I played warzone for years with the exact same settings. It is not the settings.

I checked my account and mail for ban warnings or evasion, whatever, I've never been banned but just because it's so infuriating to have this be a mystery I desperately WANTED it to be a ban for something but it wasn't. I actually would prefer a permanent ban to this, because this is just making NO SENSE. No bans, no warnings, just pamphlets and flyers of sales and crap.

I joined ten games back to back and every person I played with was muted. I paused the game and toggled the game chat on and off (I know you were thinking that) and it does nothing. The game chat on and off, the party settings on and off, everything not working. I tried joining discord groups or group lobbies online, but no surprise everyone that uses discord to play COD are fucking edgelord losers who are insufferable who got banned for a total fucking reason.

This glitch is unique to me as I see no one talking about it. Every time I come back to play warzone something new is broken or fucking ruined. Fuck this game. How to fix, because I guess it's on me to fix it?

Self Harm As A Means Of Self Soothing In Cultures Throughout History?

I was just thinking about Universal's humanity got to without outside influence, or media, or messaging. One that I landed on (with no real research just in my noggin') is that self harm has been a practice that people landed on without influence or a manual across the world well before television or internet or messaging that it was a practice. I mean self harm as a means of self-soothing, not as a means to terminate life.

I was curious if anyone had any anecdotes, history, or ideas on how the cultural phenomena developed or had developed in the past in different people and in different cultures? If not a learned behaviour with no discernible benefit immediately, what compelled humans to start doing it without outside influence?

Correct Posture Giving You A Huge Gut?

So in exploring my posture and doing various things to correct it noticed something that disturbs me. I'm exercising everyday and have for years, but I had bad posture that I didn't correct for years. In looking at kinesiology books and some PT, I've started standing sitting and walking more correct... But there's a snare.

Shoulders back and down, standing tall, and breathing correctly pushes out and forward my stomach in a dramatic way. It looks bloated, like ascites, or like a bowling ball is protruding suddenly. This is very weird, as my arms and legs and glutes and chest have no real fat on them whatsoever.

Breathing is easier with my belly extended out though, so I feel like this is what my "natural" position is and I was before really crunched up.

I know what you're probably thinking "that's the last place where the body stores fat" or "everyone has a slight paunch" or I'm exaggerating the protrusion because of some kind of dysmorphia or something, but I'm really not, and I'm almost concerned about it. Doctor told me it's "nothing" and I should stand how I feel most comfortable vs trying to "correct it", which seems like bad advice honestly. This is the same guy who told me my shoulder tear was a pinched nerve, so I grain of salt it with him every time now.

To the touch it's very hard and dense "fat" if it is "fat" and when I press in I can feel my abdominal and core muscles flexing inside or bracing just beneath a thick layer of fat. I seem to have large abdominals beneath the fat that maybe aren't sitting correctly.

Have any of you experienced a big gut when correcting posture suddenly? Was it fat, or something else? How did you fix it? It isn't evenly distributed either even across my stomach, just a bowling ball by my belly button. Freaks me out.

"it doesn't activate without lots of water in you before..."

So I'm in the gym not really doing anything just on my phone ogling other passers by and taking up benches when I overheard some guy with his trainer. He was new to the gym and was talking about his new pre workout powder, and the trainer asked him if he chugged a gallon of water before taking the preworkout. The guy said that he didn't have anything but a morning glass then the preworkout, to which his trainer scolded him for "wasting the product".

He almost verbatim said out loud "the creatine and caffeine doesn't activate unless it has a water source... You wouldn't plant a plant in dry dead soil, you'd plant it on like fertile ground... Your body because it's dehydrated essentially just takes all those drying supplements and pisses them out because you're already dry and it doesn't want to get dryer"

So I'm kind of thinking about what he said, and like, even if he's wrong it's probably good to just tell people to drink more water when working out, but I wonder if his crap has any scientific basis.

You heard any science bozos say something like this?

Password WORKS to Login, Password WRONG to deactivate

Pretty much the entire thing is in the title. I've changed the password too, and even twice. I switched to mobile instead of the app, and it still says wrong password ONLY when I'm Deactivating. I find this fucking infuriating honestly.

I've played the witcher like a half dozen times deep and to completion then just didn't play it for like three or four years. I've gone back to replay the whole thing with the new update and series X upgrades. I'm on a completionist run on deathsmarch, but for the life of me, I can't figure out why I'm constantly at zero dollars.

I bought the necessary items for alchemy and potions, some crafting for witcher gear, and basic maintenance of my armor and weapons - things I feel like I did every previous run - but now I'm constantly dead broke. I also collected any cards for my northern realms deck, and have been following through with every contract and miscellaneous objective.

I'm deep into novigrad and still am walking around with like 8 dollars in my pocket and bad weapons and armour. This I don't remember being an issue. Gwent is being played, contracts are being done, and loot has been sold or disassembled for crafting. I'm at a complete loss for why I'm so broke, because in my younger days on deathsmarch Gwenting and loot goblining while doing contracts was enough.

Why am I so broke if I'm doing everything: fists of fury, Gwent, witcher contracts, races, selling loot, etc?

For months I was dealing with a controller that would drift up on the right toggle stick. I hated it. I bought a brand new controller and had been enjoying it for a few days. Suddenly, when the controller was not being touched (I was in a cutscene) when the cutscene ended my controller right toggle stick looked straight up (just like the old controller). I about snapped.

This controller has had no damage, no water damage, I was even delicate in handling it. I don't play aggressive or jerk the controller around, and my games aren't fast paced shooters but turn based strategy like wasteland.

I inspected and there's no dirt or damage whatsoever and the controller has remained in perfect condition... But it's doing the exact same thing the other controller did.

I have to think it's a software or hardware issue on the CONSOLE'S SIDE because there is absolutely no way that it's doing the exact same thing in the same direction at the same speed/tension after maybe a few days of playing it.

Has anyone diagnosed an issue where it was the CONSOLE and not the controller causing the drift? Because this controller is BRAND NEW and it's doing THE EXACT SAME DRIFT.
