I'm making this post to start a discussion.
Recently, Peter Thiel warns bitcoin might serve as a Chinese financial weapon against the US. Maybe there is some grounds to this. How could China, Russia, Iran use BTC to weaken USD? Hoard BTC themselves as a backing for an own digital currency?
I've always thought there will be some small central bank that will adopt BTC as reserves.
Some interesting things that could indicate things are slowly happening.

What happens if i weaken the toughness of an object below its toughness? For example what happens if i weaken 1 foot thick stone (toughness 8) by 12?
Does it drop to 1? Does it break?
Any and all answers accepted. Ive probably just missed something in the book :)

no shame on my teammate who was level 3 but I found it highly amusing his hero thought he was carrying
This is a question I've always struggled with in my playthroughs, and I'd really love to get everyone's thoughts on what they think about the question.
The ultimate assassination is the current Emperor, Titus Mede II. There is a really interesting fan theory that this person wanted to be assassinated, and, that successfully doing so leaves the Empire in a stronger position than leaving this individual alive.
Obviously very little of this has a definitive answer and comes down a lot to your headcanon, but - if we consider the theory as plausible, or worth entertaining - it becomes a really fun 'lesser of two evils' question.
A lot of people love the Dark Brotherhood quests because the main ones are fun and you can pull them off in really interesting ways. But the Dark Brotherhood itself asks you to kill a homeless beggar to 'blood' you, and makes you complete a series of other dubious hits on the premise that 'we don't ask questions, a contract is a contract' (which sounds an awful lot like 'I was just following orders' Nuremburg stuff to me, but whatever).
So ethically, the Dark Brotherhood are pretty awful (Lurbuk 😥), which I suppose is what you'd expect from a fallen assassin's guild who are a shadow of the Morag Tong.
But are they worse than the Aldmeri Dominion? An ultra-nationalist, powerful, expansionist fascist regime with huge military resources and the ability to feasibly win a second war against the Empire and make things much, much worse than 'you can't worship Talos anymore'?
So - what do you think? Do you find the theory that Emperor Titus Mede II called the hit on himself plausible, or at least possible? Even if you buy that theory, do you think it's justifiable to kill innocents to achieve this aim?
I'd be really interested in everyone's thoughts 😐
Have your say?
I started therapy around three months ago. I really like my therapist and so far I’ve had two major ‘aha’ moments.
At the same time I realised that I’m getting less reliant on my support networks. For example, I have an aunt and a friend who I always used to reach out about when I feel down.
Now, I just don’t have that need. I speak to my therapist weekly and it actually helps me much better than venting with my aunt or friend. It makes me think about underlying reasons and pushed me towards understanding myself.
What I’m concerned about is that I’m concerned I may be distancing myself from the support network aspect of my relationships and become over-reliant on my therapist.
What do others feel? Therapists, have you encountered this scenario with a patient?
i first came across this sub sometime last year and since then i’ve had nearly hundreds of benz experiences. the stuff is very fun, yes, but goddamn is it rough on the body. here i am, 19 years old, with very high blood pressure/hr that i’m treating with Metroprolol. i’m hoping the spiked blood pressure side effect is only temporary, and will go away when i finally get around to really quitting. after work this afternoon i took 1 cotton extraction, waited about an hour, and then took another extraction. once it kicked in i decided to just run doordash orders to make a few bucks. along the way i ran into an old friend of mine that just happened to have a gram of blow. of course i bought it. now i’m back home on the couch, speeding hard, and wasting time before i have to go back to work in the morning. does anybody have any tips for quitting this shit for good? i don’t dose daily, but every time friday/saturday rolls around i get hit with intense cravings and usually end up caving. also, would my Metropropol be okay to take to slow my heart rate down a bit? or should i just wait to take it tomorrow?

Good Old Days
