My girlfriend is leaving me for liking Olivia (5 years together)

So basically as the title says. Our relationship has been normal and easy the majority of the time but it all started when I started listening and singing to Olivia in the shower.

Then after this my partner decided that I had to explain why I like Olivia and that it’s really weird for a man to listen to Vampire so many times.

Anyway, I’m breaking up and the majority of it is that she said Olivia Rodrigo is really weird for me to like and listen to.

First time posting, John Wick 4

I think people give this movie a lot of hate due to the issues of combat which arguably are stupid and they make John lose too much against people to make it believable. I always thought in the franchise it would have been cooler to have John despatch lower enemies much faster and his main rivals much slower as would be a logical choice but they all instead take the same amount of time but I have something to say.

John Wick 4 may have horrible storyline and nemesis’ but it makes up for it in increased cinema. The cinema even when John kills the nightclub owner with the rain pouring on him is purely amazing.

I think people judge the film too much due to its change in direction but between JW4 having the nightclub scene and the Sofia and John Dog Fight in JW3 I put them on par.

Exceptional films.

This is only 20hp and this shows it well, Tifosi aren’t as far behind if you drive like Lewis

So the car now looks beautifully balanced. Look how much confidence Lewis now has on the brakes to do his signature late braking and it still beats Verstappen to this day.

We have underrated our car somewhat as with the right driver it is very close. 20HP is probably correct with the deficit. Lewis loves flowing tracks like this as it allows him to adapt his lines and adapt his approaches to apex’s.

The regulations robbed us of a showdown and our strategy lacked but don’t get it twisted. There’s an opportunity here for Ferrari and Leclerc and Lewis can utilise this with their ability.

Best two drivers on the grid. Today we were rescued embarrassment from Lewis’ ability in the rain though on slicks.

This is normal for a cat that we have made a baby, right?

Day 17 SIPP Update

Okay so I said I would continue updating this as a road to £100k (within 2 years) from £24,440 starting.

My previous post got quite a lot of backlash or doubts from the community in here which is understandable but I’ll update for the people who were actually interested.

So as you can see, my initial 3 high beta choices have performed extremely successfully and ahead of schedule.

The only change so far has been my sale of ASTS for £7,490 at market open today and a pivot into POET.

POET is part of a larger AI Bottleneck thesis which I have for when we approach 2028. I anticipate AI Clusters to outgrow their copper-based infrastructure and to require CPO. This plays directly into POET’s already growing position in the market.

I did get a fill price of around $9.80 on POET which isn’t ideal due to when I executed the trade, although, I am debating using my normal pension contributions to DCA this (I’ll be sweeping £6,000 approximately per year from nominal 6% matched pension contributions at my employer)

So that’s the update, I’ll update again in around 30 days probably due to me planning on keeping this setup for a longer haul.

Any questions are welcomed.

Just received UK, people still think this is normal?

It is insane people genuinely believe this weather, the longevity of the weather and the severity we are approaching is normal.

Literally, the world will burn before Billionaires care and even then, they’ll go to their bunker.

TIL about Cargo Cults and how tribes didn’t understand the global supply chain or industry so they built radio antennas out of bamboo and spoke into tin cans to mimic the UK & US’s infrastructure to try to summon “metal birds” to drop food and medicine to them, they even made their own radio headset

Plat is Basically Gold

Okay so when I first started playing I wanted to get to Plat as some form of achievement with my play.

Anyway, fast forward to now and I’m in Plat 2 and sometimes Plat 3.

Frequently you get Unranked and Gold players in the lobby when matchmaking sucks or it’s a quiet day.

The ONLY difference I see with Plat and Gold is that the Gold players are noticeable due to decision making speed, rotation and car speed.

That’s when it dawned on me, Plat isn’t some amazing rank, it is literally just an extension of Gold for people who have learned slightly better rotation and recovery.

What I’m trying to say though is, if you’re Gold and feel hard stuck, literally spend your time on rotation and not being a “passive” player who plays apprehensive.

That’s all you need, now I feel like Diamond is the holy grail with insane players.

What are the differences between Plat & Diamond for the higher ranked players of the group?

Potential New Rat Owner

Okay so I’m sorry if this isn’t what the sub is for and I apologise in advance for violating any rules.

Anyway, I’m a long term cat owner, specifically bengals but want to maybe get a rat or two.

I’m perfectly prepared to buy everything necessary for their care and give them whatever they need as I’m fortunate to have the time and space necessary currently.

My main question is, will this cause household dysfunction? My cats are little babies and have been brought up indoors so haven’t ever seen a rat but obviously their instincts will understand they’re prey.

Basically, should I get rats or would it be very distressing for the little cute ratty’s having cats nearby or their scents? Also, would their cage ideally be kept entirely separate like an entirely different part of the house without cats near?

SIPP road to £100k

Okay so after successfully finishing a SIPP which has hit £1m I’m now starting another SIPP with my remaining capital from a dormant pension.

As you can see, this will be invested rather aggressively and I’m happy to share positions along the way if people take an interest in this journey.

We are starting with a fairly nominal £24,400. Most people would have this in there pensions and I plan to get this to £100k and then to £1m afterwards.

Happy to answer any questions or hear out any suggestions.

My secondary pension at £1.1m is compounding in a CNX1 ETF until I retire in 27 years.

I’m 30 years old and have a salary of around £57,000.

Feel free to also show me your pensions or investments in general, after this journey I’ll likely be posting a road to £100k inside a Stocks & Shares ISA.

Glad to meet you all!

Normal Progression or Lagging Behind?

I’ve played 275 hours and have ended up in Plat 2.

I feel like my progression is slow and like I’m maybe lagging behind other players, especially some I come up against that can do far more mechanics than me.

What are your thoughts with this? I’m currently learning a lot of mechanics which will take serious time but wondered whether I should have started this earlier

Learning DAR & New Button Layout (DAR & Aerial Help)

Okay so for the last hour I’ve been using a re-mapped controller (boost now on R1 and RDAR & LDAR on circle and square respectively)

I have never used DAR before but can definitely see its uses, I play at around Plat 2 level and have never rolled when doing aerials at any stage, only free air roll to correct landings.

As you can see I’m pretty bad but it has only been an hour and before I pick up bad habits I wondered if anybody can tell me what I should be doing and how to maximise my air roll ability?

(unsure why the brightness is so bright, it isn’t that bright on my monitor)

u/ThatFUTGuy — 3 months ago

Plat 2 Question

Okay, so I’m playing in Plat 2 and pushing towards Plat 3.

I don’t have any mechanics realistically, I can aerial with around 80-90% accuracy and hit it where i want it to go, i can’t wave dash or jump off the wall to dribble.

In fact, I can’t really do any of the main mechanics people tell you to learn before even leaving Gold.

I think my game sense must be good as I love adapting to my teams and finding the gaps to fill.

Is this normal for somebody to be pushing Plat 3 yet incapable of doing a wall to flip reset dribble?

Am I lucky to be here or is this deserved?
