Trying to get my head around mathematical Platonism, when I had a thought RE what transcendental 3 has as qualities. I ended up with a few mutually exclusive properties (or models?) that I'm assuming is due to me misunderstanding mathematical Platonism.

A) 3 is a distinct mathematical entity just like 1, 2, etc. B) 3 is the term for 3 instances of 1 (meaning multiple transcendental "1's") C) Some combo of A and B where 3 exists as a distinct transcendental AND as multiple 1s.

If any of the above, are they just multiple models under contention by mathematical Platonists? Apologies if this is all incoherent, as said in the opening paragraph I'm having a hard time getting my head around the

So for context, I have been on medication to treat depression (sertraline, max dosage) for years, and it's worked well. I have more good days than bad now, have good relationships with my husband and kids etc. I find a lot of things hard to function, but I'm in a state where I have some regular socialising that I look forward to on a most-weekly basis. I used to be suicidal, but haven't felt so in years.

But today, for the first time in years, I had a day to myself. I set myself up with games, had some junk food, had an easy time of it. And I didn't get much out of it. I feel like before I was on sertraline, whilst the depression was unbearable I could feel more than I do now. I feel like,

Apologies if this is the wrong forum, im not sure what else to do.

My old phone died rather suddenly. Can't even turn it on whilst plugged in kind of died. So I got a new phone and got to the point of setting up my google account on that phone.

The set up said to use another device, so I used my laptop, which then required me to have my phone number to set up. The issue is that said number isn't mine. I have no idea who's phone number that is, but I have had the phone number I am currently using longer than I have had my google account.

So I tried to change the number, but it seems to require you to either have access to a previously linked device (said very dead phone) or access to

Decided to try mods for the first time and got a blood hunter mod. Shadowheart was messed up by it. From now on I will refer to her as Shadowderp.

Shadowderp is a conflicted werewolf. Often she can't remember how to walk or jump, so she T poses. She particularly likes to T pose in dramatic moments, supporting Laezel in intimidation tactics.

Her story took a turn when we first entered the Githyanki Crèche. The first time I killed a gith, it said that Shadowderp disapproved. Then again when I next killed a gith. In fact it happened literally every time a gith died. Unlike her cousin l, Shadowderp really loves Gith. As I left the crèche, she already let me know I was on my last chance.

My current playthrough has been pretty bugged in some funny ways. I don't have any mods so I am assuming it's the latest update, but here are some highlights...

Laezel died a traitor: You know the bit where Laezel runs towards Voss in Act 1? Well she did this for me, but straight up aggroed them calling them traitors to Vlaakith. Not in a custscene, she just ran ahead and started hacking at the dragon. As she isn't part of your party at this point, she died and can't be resurrected.

The Druid Grove siege didn't happen: Doing an evil playthrough and of course set up the horn. Minthara and her army arrived, then just walked away. I had to fast travel to Minthara to talk to her as if she was

So I got out of Fort Joy, then went with my husband to start a multiplayer play through. Made a new save etc and went back only to find my solo save gone.

Here's the weird part. I looked up this problem and it seems in other posts people are having the exact opposite problem. All of my manual saves are gone, but I have multiple autosaves that are quite a bit behind from that original playthrough.

Any help figuring out what's going on would be appreciated. Am I doomed to be back in fort joy or is there a way to get my save back?

I don't know how much control HR has for its Spotify ads, but on Aerois episodes 183 (I think a bit further back) to at least 185 there are some ads for Dubai.

It's not talked about much in the modern media, but Dubai is a major hub for modern day slavery. This article goes into it (https://www.google.com/amp/s/hir.harvard.edu/taken-hostage-in-the-uae/amp/) but a TLDR includes...

Trapping foreign labour by taking their passports and putting them in packed accomodation. Not having actual channels for said foreign labour to defend their rights (they technically do have them as the UAE banned slavery in the 70s but the government doesn't actually investigate or have the structure to investiga

Ok so for some reason a while ago my twitch just stopped notifying me that high rollers was a thing (I think it's my phone but that's a whole other tangent) and thus I fell massively behind. I want to catch up, but twitch doesn't seem to hold vods that far back and (iirc) the podcast breaks the episodes up?

The last thing I remember was that they had just gotten to Vortinssar.

Any help would be appreciated:)

Was talking with my enby spouse about the joke stereotype of the alpha male/female, when the question in the title came up. My spouse just said "Squidward" and we laughed about it, but figured it might be fun to see what other people think a hypothetical "alpha enby" would be.

So I was washing dishes whilst listening to this episode and had gotten to the point where Chetney had been working on the ship prior to its taking off. They joked that he exposed his chest hair, and then my twitch skipped ahead.

I'm guessing a water droplet landed on the screen or something, but it seamlessly skipped ahead to Orym's first attack against Chetney.

So I'm just standing there, at first thinking it's a joke, that Liam is like "AH NAKED CHETNEY, KILL IT!" but then they actually make the attack. Cue my dumbass taking waaay to long to realise it skipped ahead, getting increasingly confused at this random assault in the middle of the skydock and thinking "wow this is Sam Riegel le

So this is a fairly benign issue and I apologize if this is the wrong subreddit, but here goes.

It's been going on for years, but for some reason if I am not actively looking at a car, I just can't seem to remember what it looks like. I can't remember its size, its shape, its colour. It just is an amorphous hole in my memory the second I am not observing it.

It's not the biggest issue in the world (I don't drive), but it can be a bit weird. My wife's new car for instance took me a few weeks before she asked me what I thought about said car and I hadn't even noticed.

So I recently just decided to look it up and can't find any resources or anyone else who seems to have this problem. I kept

It seems both in canon and legends, the empire is viewed by its advocates as this bastion of order and stability... Which seems really weird given how short it was, before falling apart due to revolution and the most basic of state failures (no unified succession).

Im not exactly expecting space fascism to make sense, but it feels like anyone obsessed with order (which is the main justification I can find for people being pro-empire in universe) would look more to the incredibly long lived and far more stable Republic over the war town and short lived empire.

Playing on the switch and I've run into the Reluctant Steward glitch where the steward's body is outside of the map's boundaries.

Solutions I've found to it are largely not solutions to the actual problem as much as they are avoiding it. I'm not looking to just get the black book in the staff enchanting room (I know you can glitch into said room), but actually complete the quest. In short, I'm trying to RP this playthrough and want to do the quests.

So unless someone is aware of any other solution, it seems like the most straightforward way to get to the body would be to literally leave the map boundaries of Solstheim. That way I could just swim to the body.

Any help is appreciated, even
