It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form.

Would you be able to clarify what you're talking about? Your question seems sort of vague right now. – CrSb0001 Oct 19 at 20:52
