I am learning to be a programmer so that I can make a monster website. I know they have the company website but i feel like it would help the company a lot if there was a fan made forum where people can post things like what their favourite flavor is or the things they do while they drink monster? Does anyone know the fastest way to learn a programming language for this? I think it would be like this:

1. talk to other "monsters" (monster fans)
   
2. post photos of monster
   
3. look at the stock price of monster
   
4. (eventually) monster partners with the website to sell monster on it
   
5. original monster movies/tv shows (basically shows that revolve around monster as a plot point)
   
6. monster social media where you can comment on other monster posts
   
7. Monster excursions (eventually) where the official monster brand/company would pay for people to travel with monster and take videos of them drinking monster at famous landmarks like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christ_the_Redeemer_(statue))
   
8. monster video game development where people can work together on a monster video game (probably using AI or something)
   

Also, do you think it would be bad to use AI on this since a lot of people don't like AI right now?
Let me know and if you have any more ideas or you think some of those ideas shouldn't be part of the idea and i will then make a final version after i finish learning how to write software (not sure which language to use yet)

I’ve always wanted to watch One Piece but obviously over 1,000 episodes is a little intense. I understand the answer to just watch it all, and also understand there are websites that show the canon and filler episodes, but I’m curious to anyone who is maybe a die hard One Piece fan, what is the absolute quickest way to watch the show while still enjoying the important stuff!!
Thank you for any input!

Right now I’m grinding adventure mode then I’ll play classic and wait for people to just come

I'm honestly confused. I was wanting to see what people think about how long leveling takes and when I searched half the threads were asking if leveling is too fast??
At first it's definitely faster than it was at launch but I feel like leveling becomes an absolute slog once you hit 50. Supposedly helltides are the fastest way and I'm doing them ad nauseum and I'm bored. I got one character to 100, but started a second and now am at 55 and really don't think I have another 45 of this shit in me. This is good gameplay??
I've seen people say the game "starts" at 50. Does it not start at 100 when you can start really pushing gear and dungeons/pit? 50-100 is as much a chore as 1-50 is, just much much slower. Maybe this is me fundamentally playing the game "wrong".
I guess I'm just a casual because I miss D3 when the formality of leveling could be done in an evening and then you could spend the remaining 99.9% of your time actually playing the game. Alt characters? Level a gem of ease and you could be fully leveled and ready to go in I feel like I'm taking crazy pills or I'm doing something wrong. But I'm playing the same helltides with the same potions and incense, with the same anniversary buff. How am I supposed to want to do this every few months indefinitely?
At least I have a dog now??

I was not a fan of Big Brother 25. The first half actually was great. But the second half was awful and some of the worst back to back weeks of big brother ever. Once the same few people were winning the challenges and it became about who could run the fastest rather than any semblance of strategy or a social game. The season died for me. Big Brother is not the Challenge but recently it’s felt that way. Also, the twists got in the way of the season. We already were getting entertaining tv without the twists in the first half. But every time a twist was introduced it either had no real effect or negatively impacted the game. If the comps were equitable on the season (not just heavily favoring fit men) and it was a back to basics seasons. I really think this season had potential to be one the best modern seasons of the show. It had good drama, entertaining moments, and a cast of people that I think would have kept things interesting if the wins were spread out more evenly. The show really got in its own way this season and it’s really sad that a season with a lot of potential was ruined.

I stupidly used my phone after dropping it in water, and after 2 days of glitchy operation it has shut down and only flashes the apple logo. I looked up the problem, and see that other people experiencing the same issue have had their phones work for a short amount of time then crash again. I'd like to know how I can back my phone up as quickly as possible, in case this happens for me.
Theres about 64 gb of data on my phone ( minus however much the updates take up, which is probably a lot). Roughly half of it is in camera roll, I'm not sure why so much, I dont have that many videos, but I guess all my pictures add up. I only have the free 5GB of icloud storage so my phone hasn't backed up through icloud in a long time.
I've tried recently to download my photos to a computer but it just didnt work, the photos app on my PC and laptop would just infinitely say they had sent a request to my phone but nothing would show up. So I'm not sure I'll be able to upload stuff manually like that. I'd really like to save my saved passwords, contacts, and some photos, but am not sure what the fastest way to do that will be - assuming I have a short window of opportunity to use my phone.
Thanks.

I was thinking swift slot 5 with acc innate, spd, atk, def, hp. Feels like a good universal rune that anyone can use. I farm a lot of giants though and I’m tempted to get vio runes. I just feel like lots of vio runes are usable at lower speeds but swift needs to be fastest and this is a good shot at 30 spd runes. Or does it make more sense to try and get vio runes with good subs and 18 spd at +6? That way, even if it doesn’t roll into any more speed, it’s still usable? So confused 😵‍💫. Any advice on what to try and get?

SOCIAL NATURE (& other apps & programs like Ibotta)
I had a few receipts get "rejected" but I just took a better photo with better lighting & then resubmitted .. always got accepted
Also many times I get " pending"... I usually go to MY PRODUCTS, scroll & find it and usually it's been accepted & paid... It just takes a minute
I have noticed stores that have UPC numbers (like Walmart) are the fastest to get accepted. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the software they use to detect the item.
I find that for rebates it's easier to have them on separate receipts... I know that can be a pain but I don't have to worry about (social nature or SHOPKICK or whatever app/program), so I will use self checkout when possible. That way I can quickly buy the item on 1 receipt, pay, etc, then scan all the rest of my shopping on receipt no. 2... I have never had an employee hassle me.
Occasionally I have to do this in line at a regular checkout but I always explain I have 2 forms of payment (which I do, so that helps- like cash for the rebate item & credit card for the other grocery stuff) - so I need to make 2 transactions... I always ask first, and I offer to get back in line...
9/10 times they just go the 2 transactions quickly...
Other times, especially like CVS or Walgreens - I do one transaction, put my receipt in the bag with purchased item, then go to back of line to do my 2nd
Hopefully that helps 🙂

Hey guys, I don’t have much motivation or really any time around my schedule to go gym or anything at home. I have a good job as far as exercise goes as I am on my feet all day. I don’t eat too bad or too much and drink plenty of water and even when having pop/soda I will always have diets as they seem to be nicer for me. I am just really struggling with how I look and I go on a few holidays in a month onwards and really need to lose some as I just feel a bit chubby. I’ve got a BMI of 28.9 which I realise puts me in the overweight category for my size age and everything like that. Please please please what are your tips? I don’t care whether it’s not the healthiest way to lose but I’m truly desperate, I feel disgusting. I have people close to me tell me that it’s fine because it’s all in the ‘right places’ but I don’t feel as pretty as I used to. Please help me
I just want to add that I am about 72kg/158lbs and I’m 5ft2ish

I guess most of you have heard the term "You have to see it to believe it", right?
Let me tell you something interesting. A couple of weeks ago, my wife and I were going through a rough patch. We were constantly bickering about trivial things and couldn't seem to find our way back to the harmony we once had. It was quite apparent that our communication was failing and it was creating misunderstandings as high as Mount Everest.
One day, while I was mindlessly scrolling on my phone, I stumbled upon this concept of 'visualization'. After some reading, I started understanding the power it holds. Visualisation, to put it simply, is a mental technique that uses the imagination to make dreams and goals come true. How wild is that, huh? So, I thought to myself, "Why not give this a shot?"
I started using visualization with an aim to improve our relationship. Every morning, before getting out of bed, I would close my eyes, take a few deep breaths, and imagine us in happier times - laughing, holding hands, exchanging loving glances. I pictured us having open and calm discussions instead of heated arguments and misunderstandings. I focused on the feelings these visuals evoked - love, understanding, compassion, peace.
Guess what? It actually worked! Incredibly well, I might add. Not only did it help me approach situations with a much calmer mindset, it also improved our communication. I began to listen and understand more instead of just waiting for my turn to speak. I found the patience to let her explain her point of view without getting defensive. My wife noticed this change, and it made her more receptive to my thoughts as well.
Visualization was like a lighthouse guiding us back to safety amidst a rushing storm. Now, I won't claim that it solved all our problems overnight, but it certainly put us on the path to recovery. We're definitely doing better now, learning and growing together every day.
So, folks, here is a testament to the power of the mind and the wonders it can do when channeled correctly. Remember that our minds are more potent than the fastest computer! And a little visualization can help us tap into that power. So the next time you're stuck in a communication rut, consider taking a mental journey to your happy place. You might be surprised at where it takes you.
P.S. This story, of course, was a hypothetical one, but I figured it's better than claiming I wrestled a grizzly bear or something! 😂 But jokes apart, it's meant to illustrate how you might be able to apply the mental model of visualization in your daily life. Trust me, it's worth giving a shot!

Hi everyone,
I’ve got some money saved up in my CIBC USD savings account, and I am about to spend it to buy a car.
Now the fastest way to convert it into CAD is the CIBC application itself. However, their rates are BS. What are some other ways to get CAD quickly? Do foreign exchanges release the money after some time or do they deposit instantly?
Is there any way to negotiate the rate with CIBC? Because it remains the most convenient way.
Alternatively, I should probably ask this somewhere else, but do car dealers generally accept USD as payment?
Thank you!

I used to love playing Twisted Metal. Its vehicular combat style gameplay made it a huge contrast from other videogames on the market and the characters had a lot of charm to them. My favorite character out of all of them was definitely Sweet Tooth. His unrepentant brutality and wise-cracking mouth made him an instant icon of the series. He's more or less the mascot of the franchise and it's hard to imagine a twisted metal game without him. Playing the game as a kid, he scared the hell out of me, but now, I can't help admiring him as a villain.
One day I found myself growing nostalgic for the killer clown so I decided to boot up my old PS2 to play my favorite game in the series, TM Black. I inserted the disc into the console but nothing happened. I repeated this process several times only to reach the same result. The unfortunate reality that my game disc was damaged then dawned on me. This naturally pissed me off since I invested countless hours into this near masterpiece.
All was not lost however. I knew of a comic book shop that specialized in selling old and obscure media. Their videogame selection was paltry, but I figured it was the fastest way to get the game at a reasonable price. It took a long but well worth it train ride to downtown Toronto to reach my destination. I clenched firmly to the hood of my coat as the harsh winter winds collided with my face. Snowfall was sure to come soon so hunkering down in my apartment with my favorite game was looking ideal.
Greg, the owner of the shop, stared daggers into me as soon as I arrived. He's kinda weird like that. He had this shaggy black hair and heavy sunken eyes that made him look like the type of guy you'd bump into a dark alleyway. Greg's never really bothered me before so I tried not to pay him any mind. Still, it's hard not to wonder what goes on in his creepy little mind. The way he looks at female customers always gives the chills. I'd be surprised if he didn't have some kind of rap sheet.
I walked past aisles of comics and headed straight to their modest videogame section. My eyes scanned on each title in my hunt for Black. To my dismay, it wasn't there. Did I come all this way for nothing?
Not wanting to admit defeat just yet, I asked Greg if he had the game in stock. He just stared at me for a few seconds before giving a creepy smile and led me to the back of the shop. There was a whole row of games and dvds with pitch black covers. He handed me a case with " Twisted metal black" which was crudely drawn featuring a picture of Sweet Tooth.
" What the heck is this?" I asked.
" It's the game you wanted. It's a used copy so it didn't come with its original cover. Decided to give it a makeover," Greg replied in his gravely voice.
I remained skeptical of the game's quality but bought it regardless. I joked to myself that this would be like owning a rare collector's item. My excitement lasted the entire train ride back home.
I quickly inserted the disc inside my PlayStation and watched the screen come to life. Maybe it's because its been a while since I've played the game, but the intro was different from what I remembered. There was a much heavier focus on Sweet Tooth who was often seen slashing at unseen victims with his large knife. A blood splatter briefly appeared on the screen before the scene shifted to a blurry image of him sitting in an apartment room. This was incredibly strange because none of the games ever featured the characters in a home environment.
Once the game finished booting up, I had the time of my life playing through sweet tooth's route. His story of being a serial killer clown who killed Calpyso in his own ending remained as iconic as ever. It felt so satisfying to finally turn the tables on that sadistic mastermind. My entertainment soon turned into confusion upon seeing the credits finish rolling and display the title " Twisted Metal Lost" on screen.
What the hell was going on?
TM Lost is a bonus feature that was only featured in special editions of TM Head-on so it should've been impossible for my copy of Black to have it. Greg definitely modded the disc but I wasn't complaining. Little surprises like this will always get a warm welcome from me. At least that's what I thought before finding out what the game truly had in store for me.
Immediately after selecting the Lost mode, Sweet Tooth's guttural laugh blared from my speakers. The scene then showed Sweet Tooth running around in an asylum with his iconic cleaver in hand. Asylum workers would spawn sporadically throughout the stage and I controlled sweet tooth to cut them all up. I was loving this mod more and more with every second. It was like I was experiencing the true Sweet Tooth; a seasoned serial killer unrestricted by the confines of a car. He was free to slaughter indiscriminately and I was in full control of his mayhem. By the time I was done, the asylum was left painted in blood.
Once the level was complete, the screen faded to black before an image of Sweet Tooth sitting in a wooden chair appeared.
" Hello John. Having fun yet?" I felt my body jolt in surprise. Sweet Tooth had just said my name. Even if Greg modded this game, how could he know that I would be the one to buy it? Just how many more surprises did he have up his sleeve?
" Looks to me like you've been having a helluva time cutting those pigs up. Can't say I blame ya. Just don't forget that this is still MY game and you have to play by my rules. This next level should be something very familiar. Let's play a game of hide and seek. You be the scared little lamb and I'll be the butcher that serves you on a platter. See you soon." A wicked cackle roared from my speakers before a loading screen of a smiling Sweet Tooth popped up.
My blood ran cold when I saw what stage was next. It was my city. More specifically, it was a supermarket near my neighborhood. I find it hard to believe that Greg had only coincidently modded my neighborhood into one of my favorite games. Had he been stalking me? The attention to detail was immaculate. Greg had perfectly replicated the streets and stores surrounding the market down to the chips of paint on their signs. It was all so uncanny. I watched Sweet Tooth walk through the crowded streets while brandishing his cleaver without anyone noticing him. He was completely invisible to everyone but me. Sweet Tooth dashed down several blocks, gradually getting closer to my neighborhood. Fear swelled in my heart as Sweet Tooth approached my home with his bloody cleaver shining radiantly.
I immediately unplugged my PS2 and locked my bedroom door. Bullets of sweat raced down my head as I ruminated about what just happened. Greg was one sick fuck for making something like this. Was this his idea of a joke? He must've been some sort of messed up stalker. Just as I was about to curse him out over the phone, a loud bang at more door froze me solid. It was a kind of unhinged, violent bang that made it clear whoever was on the other side had vile intentions. I weakly walked over to the peephole to see who it could be and I felt my blood turn to ice.
Those baggy white pants and macabre mask were unmistakable. Sweet Tooth was at my door with his face mere inches away from the hole. What the hell was going on? I had no explanation for what I saw but there Sweet Tooth was looking like he wanted to make my head roll. I at first thought it was Greg continuing his prank on me but Sweet Tooth's physique is far too different. Greg was more on the lean side while Sweet Tooth is incredibly stocky. To make matters worse, this man's head was aflame and yet he didn't seem to be in the slightest bit of pain.
I immediately barricaded my door with whatever furniture I had and locked myself in my upstairs bedroom. I grabbed my phone to call the cops but for some reason, it wasn't working. All I got was static on the speaker. I barely had time it wonder what was going on when I heard a loud crash come from downstairs. Loud stomps echoed throughout the apartment and quickly drew closer to me. My heart felt just about ready to burst from my chest. I couldn't believe that Sweet Tooth was about to kill me. The pounding at my door grew louder by the second and it felt like the walls were closing in on me. In my panic, I almost forgot about my fire escape.
I dashed out of the window and to the metallic balcony just in time to hear my door burst open. Not taking a second to look back, I bolted down each ladder with frantic energy. My mind was focused solely on getting the hell out of there. Once my feet touched the concrete, I was prepared to run to the nearest police station, but to my horror, Sweet Tooth had just landed right in front of me. He cackled a hideous laugh before the tip of his cleaver was embedded in my stomach. Mind numbing pain consumed every part of my mind and the only thing I could do was cry and puke up blood. The last thing I saw before blacking out was Sweet Tooth standing over me, laughing menacingly.
When I woke up, I could hardly believe I was still alive. I sat in a hospital room with a whole bunch of tubes connected to me. After the nurses let the police know I was awake, they came over to interrogate me. All I could tell them was that someone dressed as a clown broke into my apartment and tried to kill me. No way were they going to believe that some videogame character had come to life to annihilate me. It was obvious that the police search would lead nowhere. I never went back to the comic shop after that day. Whoever Greg is, he's a creepy bastard that everyone should stay the hell away from. I can't even enjoy playing Twisted Metal anymore without thinking of that horrific incident. To anyone reading this, keep yourself safe and never go to the Magnifique Noir Comic shop.
