#The GPD dont know what to do

The trio goes camping in Gotham
So for a senior project the trio needs to go to a city or place and study the wildlife
Sam managed to convince Danny and tucker to do the project about how the pollution in Gotham is ruining and mutating the forests around it
So Sam Danny and tucker need to camp out in the Gotham woods and take measurements, pictures and graphs of what it looks like to what it looked like 10 years ago
It was going fine, like yeah there are rouge attacks pretty often but they've felt with that
About half way through the trip around midnight they hear rustling and panting
Danny can sleep through the apocalypse as long as the alarm doesn't match the one he uses for his rogues he's now moving
Tucker is in the same boat as Danny and is in a slight state of depression from being away from technology
That leaves same who is a very light sleeper
She gets annoyed at the thing keeping her from sleep
She turns on the fenton-wrist-ray
.
.
.
The Gotham police station though it was a prank when 2 tired looking teens came to the station and said their friend caught something
They were preparing to call animal control thinking it was a racoon or fox
They weren't prepared for a pissed-off goth to come in dragging a knocked-out killer crock

Commissioner Gordon the poor man has already been sleep deprivated, lost faith in humanity, started dealing with a man dressed as a bat who somehow solves more cases than the entire GPD, started dealing with said bat people who started fucking spawning out of nowhere, who then had to deal with the fact that his two darling, precious children had become the two ends of a very, very wide spectrum.
A serial killer and a vigilante.
Commissioner Gordon knows he should feel more bothered by this. But at this point if he saw God he was ready to give him the middle finger and revive himself out of sheer spite.
It doesn’t help that both his children occasionally drop in, whistling and happily continuing business while their clothes are dotted red. It’s even worse when it’s not the kid you expect. So after a while when his neighbour says one of his kids dropped by, he says in a tired voice
“The stabber or the stalker?”
And it sticks.
It’s his way of showing spite and contempt and how done he is with all of this bullshit. So be it them breaking in in the middle of the night or knocking on the front door, you’re goddamn right he’s still gonna say it.
Barbara *slipping into the house quietly through window in the middle of the night*
From inside the house
Gordon: HEY STALKY CAN YOU PASS ME THE COFFEE ON THE TABLE?
James Jr : *standing in the doorframe in the middle of the night with a blade dripping blood* Hello father..
Gordon *not even bothering to get out of bed* : FOR FUCKS SAKE STALKY IF YOU DONT CLEAN THAT BLADE I WILL MAKE YOU CLEAN THE CARPET
James: .. what?
Gordon: THAT GOES FOR YOU TOO STABBY
Nightwing *doing cartwheels on the roof while waiting for Barbara*
Gordon: STALKY GET DOWN FROM THERE THIS INSTANT
Nightwing:
Gordon: OR STABBY I DONT CARE WHICH ONE
Silence
Gordon: OKAY THEN DONT SAY I DIDNT WARN YOU *cocks gun*
Nightwing *scrambling off roof as soon as he can* : WTF WTF WTF

good gpd im so frustrated with stuff in terras rn. idont care anymore if they know who i am im jyst. so so frustrayed. its so hard to get stuff u want without spending money and im really lucky i have 3 terras. but oh god its so frustrating seeing people ask for. what even was it. asking for 14 myos. for 1 terra. it makes me so unvelievably angry!!
not tomention the way terra staff picked all the people who werent that active in chats. but just because they knew eachother well and were friends. it makes me lose hope for ever being a syaff and helping make this cs a little better :(
also how terra gas are always peopel with super detailled "pop" styles. like yeah youre picking smaller artists but.. yhey all have very similar styles and. its discouraging to someone with a chibi style who just really likes designing terras. it makes me wanna leave so bad.
and i. i cannot handle some of the members sometimes. some members will talk about how they dony have much money, like someone said they didnt have money for something. then immediately after bought a terra??? i mean i get that it can be addicting n stuff but. its so so frustrating oh god.
especially when people like. are talking about stuff and someone mentions something cpmpletely off topic. i could understanf if!!! maybe !! they asked nicely for a topic change and left it at tht but. ive seen people spam their own topics in the middle of another convo.
also i dont even wanna mention the trading scene. its insane. man i. ive been condidering leaving for sonlong mostly from members and specific staff. but. aughhhgg i love terras so much i just. wish i could make it better. i genuinely cry over it bc . i love terras so so much but its all going to shit . :C
im mostly just frustrated with dtaff constantly taking customs because if the staff customs channel and their new godly role. it sucks. it makes people feel like their artvisnt worth it, seeinh bids surpass thr hundreds while some camnot sell a fullbody for $5 just bc bias.
if staff see this, im sorry. i wish i didnt have yo go on a vent blog to say this. but i know saying it in the server would just get me silenced. please try to help with these issues seen here. and im genuinely so sorry, i really want to help, but this is the only way i can help now: giving criticism. i hope things change and i can enjoy terras again. i also hope staff are okay, i do not eant this to be mean or stressing in any way. :C [sorry for the typos mod i am very shaky rn and in a bus and carsick so im trying to fix them as mucj as i can. and ty for dealing witg all the drama.]
im sorry youre having such a bad time anon, it can be difficult once you realize all the deep cracks within the foundation of something you like
youre right in saying the trading scene is absolutely insane rn, people have decided that myos arent as powerful of a trading chip anymore but theyre still just as difficult to get, what the FUCK would someone even need 14 myos for
the staff has always been cliquey, if youre not in their little friend group you might as well be dirt, and theyre so biased toward pop artists, thats why kiwi rot was allowed to make a feral terra custom even while the hammer was coming down hard on them.
members are so rude and im tired of people pretending theyre not. at some point you gotta wonder how many times someone will breach social contract again and again regardless of every single time theyre politely told to wait their turn, just say you want to butt in and be done with it. ive never seen so many people absolutely unable to actually pay attention to the conversation at hand and it really seems like they just want to hear themselves talk
staff as a role is just a pretty little modifier to say “im elite, now drop $100s on my customs so you can immediately trade it off and say ‘looking for staff swaps ONLY if you offer me anything else u r getting blocked xoxox’”, none of them actually really use the new role to bring new viewpoints to the species or to make systems move faster, if they were then youd think we would actually have implemented more site functionality than one single fucking forage button and people wouldnt have to wait upwards of 2 weeks to get a myo design approved
terras biggest downfall is that every single person in the server is too sensitive for criticism and take it way too personally, that way everything gets silenced and nothing gets better.
personally anon, i suggest distancing yourself a bit. when i started moving away from the species and focusing on irl self improvement, i felt so much better (and started saving a lot of money)

We looked at each other and laughed sort of half heatedly while trying to still make light of our situation only to be cut off. Whatever was screaming had gotten to the end of our street in ten seconds. We both jumped into action, started locking windows and doors and were half way down the hall to her room when the fifth and final wail sounded. Second, battery storage is here and ready for grid service today. This is not some 'technology of the future,' but rather a current grid solution whose costs are declining rapidly and whose performance is increasing steadily. Third, battery storage is something that everyone gets excited by, regardless of political affiliation. Now if I could get something that is like a legit version of the Smach z, that would be fucking amazing (I play 100% with a steam controller). I really want a gpd win 2 but dont have the cash and have ascended past dual stick controllers. Shame Smach z looks like its been a scam since day one. In your case, he the worst of both worlds: both picky and lazy. He wants you to waste your energy endlessly spouting suggestions for him to swat down because he got a very specific set of tastes. That not acceptable. As another user said, the bugs look like they are lit individually,which you said they are. I would point out that, uhm. I do not know how to explain. I wouldn risk it honestly. There a big difference in biomechanics between a cushioned 0 drop shoe and a minimalist 0 drop shoe. The Vivobarefoot will stress your feet and tendons much much differently than the Altra. I fell in love 의정부출장샵 with Corrin look and armor design when my husband and I played Smash on the WiiU. When I first played FEH, I was thrilled to get a Corrin early on. She was my tank in my newbie days " A Team" and got me through content. Before I got back into school I worked at a transmission shop for a couple years but my back is bad from military shit, hence the idea of getting into computers. I got married and divorced, have three beautiful children from that, plus two step children from my current wife. Let me tell ya man, this shit is hard juggling family and school. Alfa Romeo has struggled with rear grip over the test, changing the initialT impressions that it was the head of the midfield. Racing Point are also part of that pack, but they do have upside given that their planned update in Australia and their development strength. Mclaren is looking to still have struggles with rear end stability and understeer, expect them to battle to get into Q2. THe good news is you get to choose how you change.Im not saying you gotta be a hilarious extroverted human being. Hell Im not even saying you will find a girl. Im just saying you will grow as a person and live a fuller life You will understand who you are better and how to make yourself happy.Mindless_Requirement 154 points submitted 1 day agoI know this is in askmen but as a woman I give a perhaps insightful answer: we women are told 의정부출장샵 that if a guy likes you, they will pursue you. Dark skin is still associated with manual labor in poorer countries, and also with a poorer class of people due to imperialism, slavery, and hundreds of years of shitty history. So white beauty standards are what is dominant. Again, nobody is going to explain hundreds of years of colonialism and racism in 1 reddit comment so read some books.

Borderlands 2 - Profile Editor V1.0.1.0
Borderlands 2 Profile Editor Xbox 360
From my previous knowledge from when i save edited on my 360. You had to extract 2 files from the profile and edit them with 'Borderlands 2 gpd editor'. Im not sure if its compatible with switch, also i dont know how to get those files from the with profile IF they are in there. Because Borderlands 3 has two different save files stored locally, they both can be accessed using the Save Editors. Here’s what the Save Editors can do to both of the save files: For the Profile save file: Profile.sav. Modify the Bank. Change the Guardian Rank. Xbox Edition file - Borderlands 2 Save Editor mod for Borderlands 2. Game Borderlands 2. Creator badsniper365. Contact Send Message.
Overview
In this tutorial you will learn how to play custom content and enable the level editor with step by step instructions. This is for the latest version of Borderlands (1.5.0)
I will also be creating written tutorials covering basics of the unreal editor sometime down the road in hopes of getting more people interested and involved with making new content.
Resources
Tumblr media
These are the resources you will require to begin your modding.
ZBL patch Oasis Map Hub WillowTree
Getting Started
Download all of the resources listed above.
Extract the ZBL_Patch.zip to your Borderlands directory.
It should promt you to merge and overwrite files, select yes to all.
If you didn’t merge folders you extracted it to the wrong spot. Go back and try again.
Tumblr media
Located in the folder you just extracted to: If you are running Windows 7 run the file win7_fix.bat If you are using Windows XP or Vista (really…?) run the fix.bat
STEAM USERS ONLY If you are not using a steam version skip to step 5. If you are using steam go to the following directory and delete the file “nvcpl.dll”
C:Program Files (x86)SteamSteamAppscommonBorderlandsBinaries
Extract the folders “MapSlots” and “Oasis” from Oasis.zip into the following directory.
…BorderlandsWillowGameCookedPCMaps
Extract WillowTree#.zip anywhere you prefer, I suggest your Borderlands root directory just to keep everything in one place.
Run WillowTree#.exe and click the orb in the top left corner, select open.
From here you will have to find your character save location if it is not automatically set there. They can be found here:
Tumblr media
C:Users*******Documentsmy gamesborderlandssavedata
Once you have selected a save file the name and level of your character should appear in the bar at the top of WillowTree#, if this is not the character you wanted go back to step 6 and select a different save file.
Once you have the character you want to access modded content click the general info tab.
From here under the list on the right hand side “Visited Locations” click New.
There will be a location called “Oasis” click it, it should add it to the list.
Click the orb in the top left and select save.
You should now be able to find the Oasis in your fast travel locations.
To install custom content you will usually overwrite a “Mapslot” in the “MapSlots” folder.
Once you have overwritten a Mapslot file you will head into the game and to Oasis where you will find a bunch of signs with numbers on them, the one to use will be the same number of the mapslot you overwrote.
Sometimes there will be additional packages that come with custom content, these can be placed anywhere within the “CookedPC” folder.
Packages contain all of your textures, sounds, definitions, etc.
If you only want to play custom content you can stop here, if you want to access the editor and create your own content read on.
Go to your binaries folder, right click the Borderlands.exe and create a shourtcut.
Rename this shortcut to something along the lines of “Editor”
Right click newly made shortcut and select properties.
Borderlands 2 - Profile Editor V1.0.1.0
Where it says “Target:” you will see a line of text
Wrap the entire target in quotations and add -editor to the end, it should look something like this, but not exactly so do not copy and paste my line below.
“C:Program Files (x86)SteamSteamAppscommonBorderlandsBinariesBorderlands.exe” -editor
You should now be able to run the editor.
Credits

Do you ever get sassy with annoying people and IF SO what do you do to them? I laughed my ass off at the suggestion of offering a treat to people who bark at your SD 😂 I haven't had the chance to try it yet but I'm so ready honestly 😂😂😂😂 I hope you and Oakley are having a good night!!
oh my gpd i love that… im okay with those people who ask to pet him, i calmly tell them no (as of right now he doesnt have any patches saying not to, so thats not their fault. i don’t expect every single person to automatically know not to pet sds…) but if they persist i get annoyed and snappy, there isn’t really a specific thing i do like what you said. im definitely going to try that, though. oakley doesn’t go out with me very much, usually to pet friendly places (home depot, petsmart) or to mostly-outdoor places like an outdoor mall or around town since he is just verging Officially in training and i dont feel comfortable going Real places yet lol.. anyway this got much longer than i meant it oops!! but thank you, you too!!

Forget what's happening in the economy, just latch onto a scary label
So, that must mean were in a GPD per capita recession. Eureka! Much scarier. (And saying it in Latin rather than English makes it even more so.) Making it more entertaining obscures the truth, of course, but you cant have everything. Speaking of truth, let me give you a tip: any recession that has to be qualified by an adjective aint the real deal. The more excitable end of the economy-watchers the financial markets and the media is always looking for an excuse to shock mum by using the ultimate in economic bad language, the r-word. Over the years theyve given us technical recessions, manufacturing recessions, growth recessions and now per capita recessions. The real world is too messy for such simple rules of thumb to be reliable. There is no science behind the notion that two successive quarters of negative growth contraction equal a God-given licence to use the r-word. Its no more than a rule of thumb, whose one virtue is that it allows the over-excitable to shout Recession! within seconds of seeing a new set of figures, when they really should look and wait for more convincing information. Its no more than circumstantial evidence, when you cant find the body or the murder weapon. No economist I know is comfortable with it as a way of judging whether we really are in recession. What they know is that, as a test, it delivers too many false readings. Because its so arbitrary, it can tell you youve got a recession when you dont, or tell you you dont when you do. The national accounts first stab at measuring the growth during a quarter is so rough and ready, and will be changed so many times before it stabilises, that two successive negative quarters can easily be revised out of existence. The real world is too messy for such simple rules of thumb to be reliable. Loading Treasurer Josh Frydenberg tweeted that in 2000 and 2006 the Howard government had consecutive quarters of negative GDP per capita growth, and Rudd and Gillard had five negative quarters. And all this while our record period of continuous economic growth now up to 27 years remained unbroken. See what I mean about false positives? But even if you do use the successive-quarters test, youre supposed to apply it to the whole economy, not just to the bit that happens to qualify. Thats why Scott Morrison was justified in dismissing the per capita recession as made-up statistics. The figures may have been calculated by the bureau, but it didnt say anything about recession. That notion was spread by the media. The bureau calculates about eight different versions of GDP (page 21 of the release). The excitables ignored the six that didnt show two successive minuses, and zeroed in on one of the two that did. It was a contrivance in search of a headline. The various versions of GDP are calculated to answer different questions. GDP per person is not designed to tell us whether were in recession. Its designed to show how much of the growth in the economy is coming just from population increase rather than rising prosperity. Making it a useful indicator. For instance, Frydenberg boasted that Australia continues to grow faster than all of the G7 nations except the United States. True, but GDP per person tells us why. Its because our populations growing so much faster than theirs. (Of course, if youre looking for a job, the growth caused by a higher population should make it easier.) Admittedly, GDP per person is often used as a measure of whats happening to the standard of living. But its a terribly crude measure. Which is why economists agree that one of the other measures, real net national disposable income per person, is the best youll get just by modifying GDP itself. Trouble is, it shows the income of households growing by 0.8 per cent in December and by 2.1 per cent over the year. Wouldnt get a headline out of that. Time for a reality check: why is it that the r-word strikes fear into the minds of ordinary people? Because they know that genuine recessions involve falling employment and rapidly rising unemployment. Businesses fail, people lose their jobs, and the rest of us fear well be next. Any sign of that happening? No. The reverse, in fact. Using the bureaus trend (smoothed) figures, over the six months to December, employment increased by 175,000, with 87 per cent of the extra jobs being full-time, and the ratio of people aged 15 and over with jobs at a record 62.4 per cent. The unemployment rate fell by 0.3 percentage points to 5.1 per cent and the under-employment rate fell 0.2 points 8.7 per cent. Thats how terrible a per capita recession is.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – The stock market pushed higher Tuesday, breaking a two day free fall from grace, but what are the fundamentals driving the market?
GPD growth is strong, one of the best indicators of a healthy economy. Job growth is steady and unemployment is low.
Experts say talk about inflation and rising interest rates is fueling the selloff.
“I’m feeling a little nervous. Especially the last 24 hours I know haven’t been the best but I’m hoping the market will turn around,” said Lynn Hu of Boston.
“I actually haven’t been paying attention to it. I realize it’s going down and I expect it is affecting my 401k but I haven’t looked at it. I am just one of those who kind of lets it ride,” explained Reine Lafleur-Roch of Chicopee.
Matthew Farkas of St. Germain Investment told 22News we’re seeing a correction, not a recession.
“2017 the stock market continued to climb every day uninterrupted. That is the abnormal period. This period of getting some tough days in the stock market, that is more normal,” said Farkas.
Here’s the DO and DON’T. Do review your goals and asses your risk tolerance. Don’t make an emotional investment decision. If you think you are too aggressively invested, high-quality bonds or well-diversified mutual funds can balance your portfolio. And remember, when the market dips, your money can buy more shares. Invest for the future, not for today. The DOW closed up 567 points Tuesday.
