2024.05.17 13:24 Foreign_Peach_9501 My (33F) long distance date (30M) suddenly ended the relationship again. Should I keep the door open for him?

After my previous toxic relationship with a covert narcicist, I spent a year without dating to heal myself and reassess my close relationships. I realized how precious it was to have a healthy person in my life, who can be loyal and love me genuinely.
I met him on Christmas night last year. It was his last night in my city, and I just thought that we would have some nice chats, but it turned out to be one of the best nights in my life ever. He was a medical doctor at entrance level. I was impressed by his honesty, authenticity, intelligence and dominance. We talked about various topics that night and didn’t even worry about time until the restaurant staff reminded us. We spent the night together and had an earth shattering love making. He was all I ever wished for.
We continued to talk after he returned to city. There was so much affection and chemistry between us. He liked me for who I am, validated my feelings and never used me. He had healed me on so many levels without knowing it. I thought he had secure attachment style. But soon, it became more difficult, the uncertainty of the relationship, the difference in communication style, work stress (his job is super draining), the helplessness when we couldn’t be with each other… One day he left me waiting for his video call while he fell asleep. I felt like I wasn’t care for and respected so I told him I needed some days, and when I texted back, he said that he couldn’t stand this and wanted to stop. I told him that his feelings for me and my feelings for him did matter and wished him a good life.
I tried to cope with the sadness and depression of not having him. I had some trips, met new people, but I couldn’t forget him and the feelings I had for him was very intense and I didn't want to have relationship with anyone else. However, I accepted what it was and I didn’t reach out to him at all. I genuinely wished him find a good life partner.
I was surprised when he reached out to me almost 2 months later, and I turned him down as I wanted to have a committed relationship instead of a casual thing. After one week I realized it was too difficult for me to be without him, and texted him back. I told him that we need to have life compatibility and close the distance in order to maintain a relationship. He said that it was difficult but he thought possible. I just needed that sentence from him. The text next days full of affection and he texted me more regularly than last time, I also learnt to focus on my life and stay calm between texts. We mostly had surface checking in message so I was happy when he shared with me his challenge at work for the first time. We were more open to each other after that, but shortly after that he stopped texting me back and went silent for 3 days, even he agreed with me that he would send me a heads up if he needed time instead of just disappearing. I didn’t reach out to him and waited. Then he came back with a casual “Hi babe how are you” and 2 hours later, a breaking up text and blocked me. He said that he didn’t see a future between us and his career just got in the way of knowing me. He believed that I wanted to find someone to settle down permanently soon and he didn’t want to waste my valuable valuable time, he said he was very sorry.
I am heartbroken. I knew he needed both companionship and sex, he had strong feelings to me too but this is too difficult for him. While I was grounded and committed, he was spontaneous and had fear of commitment.
I can wait for him but I see that this long distance relationship is challenging. And I long for being adored and loved by someone next to me, being able to text anytime I want without having to fear of putting stress on them. But for him, I love him for who he is and he inspired me a lot. I don’t want to lose someone like him. Should I keep the door open for him if he ever comes back?
TLDR: I met a decent man once last year we had an on off long distance relationship. He had ended it twice suddenly. Should I keep the door open if he ever comes back?

2024.05.17 13:23 NimbleThor 5 Quick tl;dr iOS Game Reviews / Recommendations (Episode 218)

Welcome back, fellow mobile gamers :) As per tradition, here are my weekly mobile game recommendations based on the most interesting games I played and that were covered on MiniReview this week! :) I hope you'll enjoy some of them.
Support these posts (and YouTube content + development of MiniReview) on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/NimbleThor <3
This episode includes a great racing game, a fun arcade platformer, a great deck-builder roguelike RPG, an arcade casual game, and a neat deck-building dungeon crawler.
New to these posts? Check out the first one from 216 weeks ago here.

Let's get to the games:

Art of Rally [Game Size: 2.3 GB] ($4.99)

Genre: Racing / Simulation - Offline
Orientation: Landscape
Required Attention: Full
tl;dr review by NimbleThor:
Art of Rally is a rally racing game with an amazing atmosphere, several fun game modes that range from casual to hardcore, and deep gameplay customization settings.
The main career mode has us play through several years of rally history on tracks all around the world, unlocking new cars and skins as we progress.
In addition to the campaign, however, there is a custom rally mode, a time-attack mode where we can try all of the game’s vehicles, a free-roam mode where we drive around a large open world to collect items, and daily and weekly online events with leaderboards.
What I like the best about Art of Rally is that it can be as casual or hardcore as you want. Free roaming is a fun laid-back experience while the time-attack modes are incredibly challenging. And even in the career mode, we can pick the difficulty of our AI opponents.
The touch controls are okay but lack different options. Thankfully, the game plays perfectly with a Bluetooth controller, and there are lots of customization options for everything from the HUD to the interface and gameplay, including changing the steering sensitivity, enabling anti-lock braking, and much more.
The game has a great atmosphere, and the low-poly art style and minimalistic UI fit nicely. Unfortunately, loading between menus and levels is slow, and I ran into a few minor bugs - so the game isn’t perfectly ported from PC.
Art of Rally is a $4.99 premium game with a single $1.99 optional DLC that adds additional map areas.
It’s a game more about precision than driving super-fast, so if that’s what you’re looking for, I think you’ll enjoy Art of Rally – especially if you have a controller to play it with.

Level Devil - NOT A Troll Game [Total Game Size: 87 MB] (Free)

Genre: Platform / Arcade - Offline
Orientation: Landscape
Required Attention: Full
tl;dr review by Ark:
Level Devil is an easy arcade platformer with no surprises or frustrations at all… or is it?
The game has us move left, right, and jump to navigate seemingly simple one-screen stages. But as we progress, the game starts trolling us in lots of unexpected ways.
Floors suddenly disappear beneath our feet, spikes spawn at what looks like safe spots, and the game sometimes even changes the rules of physics by lowering the gravity or reversing it altogether.
So you better be prepared for some rage-inducing deaths. But to me, the game’s main appeal is exactly these unexpected twists. The game quickly becomes all about anticipating the next troll attempt, and nothing beats the satisfaction I got from outsmarting a level in my first attempt.
There are 80 stages in total, with the game autosaving every 5 stages. And while some stages are challenging, they’re all short and concise. The controls are also simple and responsive. Unfortunately, there is no music at all, and the graphics are very minimal, with just a single yellow-reddish color scheme that gets old in no time.
Level Devil monetizes via occasional forced ads between levels and deaths, and a $0.99 iAP to remove these for good. Thankfully, I didn’t personally find the ads to be too intrusive, even with me dying a lot.
Despite being a troll game, it balances overall fun vs. overall difficulty very well. So I was able to complete it relatively easily without getting too frustrated. You could say I had a "devilish good time" beating the game.

Loop Hero [Game Size: 250 MB] (Free Trial)

Genre: RPG / Deck-Builder / Roguelike - Offline
Orientation: Landscape
Required Attention: Some
tl;dr review by JBMessin:
Loop Hero is a mobile port of an incredibly unique tactical roguelike that mixes lots of gameplay elements, including deck-building, auto-battling, resource management, and city-building.
We begin the game in a place outside space and time on a dangerous path that forms a loop. Our character traverses the loop on his own, automatically fighting the enemies that spawn every day. These encounters provide us with loot that we equip to grow stronger and cards that are used to alter the loop.
Playing a card somewhere on the path changes what happens every time our hero walks through that part of the loop. For example, we may place a grove that spawns a rat every 2 days, which we then fight to grow stronger. This ability to customize the loop is one of the most unique aspects of the game, and I really enjoyed it.
After our first campfire is built, we begin to meet heroes who are just as lost as we are. Through short dialogues with them, we start to learn about the game’s light city-building mechanics. There are plenty of buildings to construct that offer all kinds of new and interesting gameplay mechanics - and even new classes to go on expeditions with.
What I immediately appreciated about Loop Hero was its top-notch soundtrack reminiscent of early 8-bit games like Castlevania, and the sprites that are stylized to match the gloomy setting but still vibrant in their design.
The biggest downside is that my large fingers sometimes made it hard to see where I was placing things. The game is definitely best enjoyed on larger phones.
Loop Hero is free to try, with a single $6.99 iAP unlocking the full game.
If you enjoy excellent roguelikes with unique gameplay mechanics, I think you’ll enjoy Loop Hero.

Tumble Rush [Game Size: 159 MB] (Free)

Genre: Arcade / Casual - Offline
Orientation: Landscape
Required Attention: Full
tl;dr review by NimbleThor:
Tumble Rush is a fun, fast-paced marble maze arcade game where we guide a ball through small top-down levels while avoiding obstacles, traps, and holes.
Apart from rolling around with our sphere character, the only other thing we can do is tap an interaction button that activates/deactivates doors, turn on fans that let us get over obstacles, and much more.
Despite the additional puzzle elements introduced along the way, the game is very easy in the beginning – maybe even to a fault. I quickly grew bored with the early levels. But thankfully, if you stick with the game, it eventually becomes much harder.
The coins we collect in each level are used to unlock new cosmetics for our character. But what’s really cool is that they also completely change the design and theme of every level. So unlocking cosmetics quickly became my primary objective.
While the standard mode is relatively easy and lacks a bit of variety, the game also features a much more challenging time attack mode, where we attempt to finish levels fast enough to earn three stars. And if we get bored with that, there’s an endless mode where we earn more and more gold the further we get.
The standard gyroscopic controls work alright, but I personally preferred one of the touch control options.
Tumble Rush monetizes by showing ads between levels. They appear relatively frequently but can thankfully be removed via a single $1.99 iAP.
It’s an arcade game that gets better the further you get. So if you’re looking for a fun game that can be played as casually or competitively as you want, I think you might like Tumble Rush.

SOULVARS (Game Size: 346 MB] ($4.99)

Genre: Deck-Building / Dungeon Crawler - Offline
Orientation: Portrait
Required Attention: Some
tl;dr review by AlexSem:
SOULVARS is a futuristic mix of a jRPG and a deck builder, where we fight demonic creatures using a deck of cards produced by the gear we equip.
Working for a secret government organization, our job is to maintain peace by engaging in bloody confrontations with hungry spirits that invade the human world via spontaneous portal-like breaches.
The combat system is quite elaborate. First of all, our deck is defined by the gear we equip, and each card lets us execute an action, such as using a shield, performing various elemental attacks, or dealing different types of physical damage.
Picking two different types of cards allows us to perform devastating combo actions. But we must also pay attention to our enemies’ resistances, constantly charge our “burst” meter to eventually turn into a powerful monster, and link together attacks of multiple characters. And this is just a small portion of the game’s many combat mechanics.
Mindlessly executing random moves works for a while, but we eventually face enemies so strong that this tactic isn’t enough. This is where the game's complex combat systems comes into play, and we need to learn all its intricacies and meticulously manage our equipment to win. This will be too challenging for some players, but a joy for others.
The exploration part of the game consists of navigating maze-like rooms, interacting with the environment, collecting loot, talking to people, and engaging in random battles - an old jRPG structure that is apparently still popular among certain audiences.
SOULVARS is a premium game that costs $4.99.
While the game’s repetitiveness and unengaging plot eventually make the gameplay a bit boring, there’s more than enough entertainment for fans of complex combat systems.

2024.05.17 13:22 edugoabroadsocial 9 Major Things to Take Care While Applying for France Study Visa - September 2024 Intake

 9 Major Things to Take Care While Applying for France Study Visa - September 2024 Intake
France is the most famous tourist destination in the world for multiple reasons. Besides its natural and cultural beauty, France has an extensive background of intellectual strength. The country’s universities are well known for offering excellent education in various fields, attracting students from around the globe seeking a France Study Visa.
In French universities, there is a wide range of programs that are both standard and unique, ranging from arts and humanities to science and engineering.
Now you can ask why you should study in France. There are many reasons why one should study abroad in France, such as an opportunity to join a top university and be fully immersed in a language and society that is known worldwide. Living in a globally-minded community would enhance your education and broaden your perspectives.
But before relocating to France for higher study, students must complete the application process for a France student visa. In this piece of guide, we will discuss about the significant things to take care while applying for student Visa for France.
https://preview.redd.it/nztfyfv41z0d1.jpg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a6692f3a56b56725451aa2270f05b58bc0ad0bff
Here are nine important things you should keep in mind when applying for a visa to Study in France:

1) Right Business School or University

Getting into the right school sets the stage for your future academic and career goals. France has many well-known business schools and universities known for their creative programmes and high academic standards.
International students benefit from Studying abroad in France even without taking the IELTS or any English test. This makes visiting France easier for non-English speakers, making it a popular college destination.

2) Best Suitable Program to Study

For a fulfilling educational experience, it is important to look into programmes that match your academic interests and job goals. Many programmes in France are designed to meet the needs of international students. Business programmes are very common. Master of Management (MIM) degrees in Finance, HR, and Marketing prepare students for worldwide success.
Also, choosing an 18-month programme gives you plenty of time to focus on your studies and look for student jobs. In France, many schools offer internships or part-time jobs that give students important real-world experience and the chance to meet new people.

3) Your Documents Checklist

Visa applicants must pay great attention to every detail and have all the necessary papers. Documents that are often needed are:
  • Proof of being enrolled: A letter from the school you want to attend stating that you have been accepted into a programme.
  • Statements of money: Proof that you have enough money to pay for education, living costs, and other costs related to the programme.
  • Coverage for health insurance: Proof that you have full health insurance that covers your whole stay in France.
  • Passport that works: Check that your passport has two blank pages for visa stamps and is valid in France.
You must carefully examine the list of materials the French study abroad consultant or office provides to ensure the application procedure runs smoothly. For further details explore France VFS Checklist by Edugo Abroad, we are a top Europe education consultant located in India.

4) Post Study Work Option

Knowing what jobs, you can get after finishing school in France is important for planning your future career. France has policies are good for international students who want to find work after graduation. For example, you can stay longer to look for work or go to school for longer.
With the temporary residence card, students can stay in France and look for work for up to 24 months after graduation. During this time frame, graduates can work full-time in any area without needing any other work authorization. Additionally, graduates from French schools may be able to get a "Passport Talent" visa, which makes the transition from student to job easier.

5) Employment & Job Opportunities in France

France's strong economy and wide job opportunities are good news for skilled workers in many fields. Foreign graduates can employ their talents and knowledge in technology, healthcare, finance, and hospitality.
Make local connections and check your school's internship or job placement programmes to boost your chances of finding meaningful work in France. Speaking and writing French well can increase your work prospects and help you integrate into French culture.

6) Settlement Options with Family After Study

Everyone needs to know the visa rules of Student Visa for France from India and how to reconnect with family if they want to live in France permanently or bring family members. Family reunions and long-stay visas for dependent children and spouses are available in France.
To reconcile with your family, you must have a stable salary, a suitable home, and enough health insurance for everyone. Planning and talking to immigration officials or lawyers can speed up family reunification and help your loved ones adjust.

7) Diplomatic Relationship of France with India

France and India have diplomatic links, including working together, sharing culture, and making strategic partnerships in many areas. High-level visits and projects led by leaders like Prime Minister Narendra Modi have strengthened relations between the two countries and encouraged them to work together in areas like defence, science, education, and more.
These diplomatic ties help Indian students learn in France through academic exchange programmes, scholarships, and cultural projects. The fact that there are Indian societies and cultural groups in France also helps Indian students get used to living in a new country.

8) Affordability of Cost in France

Even though France has a high standard of life and a world-class school system, you need to know how much it costs to live there to prepare your money. The cost of living varies by city; Paris costs more than other cities.
Lodging, transportation, food, medical bills, and personal expenses are crucial. Live in student accommodation or shared apartments, travel the bus or train, and cook to cut costs. Another way for international students to get money is to look into scholarship programmes, part-time jobs, and financial aid programmes.

9) Choosing the right Application & Visa Advisor

Applying for a French student Visa can be difficult, especially for international students who don't know how French immigration works. Selecting a reputable application and visa consultant or guide can be very helpful and supportive during the application process.
When hiring an advisor, consider experience, name, success record, and cost and service transparency. A skilled advisor from France visa consultants in Ahmedabad will help you gather papers, fill out visa application forms, schedule visa interviews, and address any concerns.

Moving Forward

A journey to France in September 2024 is a unique opportunity to enhance your educational grades, learn about another culture, and boost your career openings. With us at Edugo Abroad, a study in France consultant in India, you can apply to the top universities in France.
Putting the above factors first and applying for a visa carefully can help you navigate the rigorous immigration process and have a fulfilling educational experience in France.

2024.05.17 13:20 29falcon29 Bryan and their cognitive bias

People always tend to see something in other people that isn't there. This is called cognitive bias. In their minds, they associate the horrible situation that happened with the suspect, and with everything the media is saying. A picture of guilt follows. He must be guilty. I mean.. it's already gotten to the point where statements like: "Look at his eyes, pure evil!", "he doesn't even look innocent!" Don't you think that people would also see something in you where they point the finger at you and think you're guilty?
Example courtroom. Bryan is sitting in the courtroom. He is being represented. He is present and listening. What else is he supposed to do? I mean, this isn't a cinema event where he's going through all kinds of emotional rollercoasters. Even if he were in tears, people would point the finger at him and he would be considered guilty. Because he's just acting it.
Everyone has their own body language. You can't always project your expectations/ideas of what you think is right and/or more appropriate onto other people, you can't do that. He's a suspect in a murder case.
I would also like to say something about Bryan's alibi. Do you have an alibi every day, every time? A watertight alibi? If Bryan is innocent, there is a possibility that the alibi is the truth. I mean, he can't be clairvoyant and think to himself: "Oh, a horrible murder is going to happen tonight and if I don't get myself a watertight alibi right now, I'll be suspected and find myself in prison." Even if he had a better alibi, people would still point the finger at him, he would be considered guilty and they say: He was SO clever!
Imagine you like driving through the night/early in the morning. And sometimes you take beautiful pictures. On the day/time when a horrible murder takes place, you are on the road again. And a short time later.. you find yourself in prison and they want to execute you for something you didn't do.
I don't know about you, but I personally can't think of a suitable adjective to describe how sad, frightening and terrible I find it at the same time.

2024.05.17 13:20 Telnarie Advice regarding a short-term job offer

I recently got a job offer for a project job that lasts out December this year. The thing is that this job is a short-term project and I would have to move to a different city for these months. But it's quite difficult to find a living space to rent for a period of just months and I don't want to have to pay for a whole year when I won't have any income after the job ends. I also just got an interview scheduled for a very interesting and relevant job that would last a whole year. I really want that job, but I have to give an answer to the job offer before I even have that interview. I guess it wouldn't be smart to not accept this job for the other job opportunity when I don't have any guarantee of getting it. I'm quite torn and need some advice on what would be the best thing to do. I don't live in the US.

2024.05.17 13:18 aLittlePheonix1 25 [M4F] Europe/Anywhere - Together forever?

Hello!
I am looking for a person with whom we can connect with and build a relationship together. Befriend each other from the start, spend time together, have new experiences, be it new to both or teach each other different things. Nerd out about stuff we like, support each other and slowly build our own world. The end goal that I envision and would love to achieve is just some basic, yet, intimate moments, that I believe both would enjoy, like:
There's more of course, but generally moments like these are the end goal. In short. the end goal is a romantic lifelong relationship.
About hobbies, I have a lot of hobbies and interests. My main hobbies would be working out, I'm a gym rat, I love working out. Gaming, I enjoy playing video games, board games, just games in general during my free time. Watching videos, streams, shows, movies, anime. I watch Youtube daily. a lot of different stuff. I enjoy watching true crime, like JCS, cam footage, documentaries and etc., games, reviews, news, memes and honestly, pretty much everything, mostly just go off of recommended or something I was waiting for. Besides videos, I mainly watch anime. I love all kinds. TV shows and movies not that much, due to either watching alone is not that interesting, or already watched everything I liked and no new parts, seasons, episodes came out yet. I enjoy listening to music, my taste is all over the place, genre doesn't really matter, I just have to like the song, I also like writing, started writing a story some time back and still in the process of combining all the elements, though it's a very slow process due to time and how much actually gets invested into that. And generally I am artsy, I enjoy imagining and creating. There are more interests, like learning languages for example, or drawing maybe, but they are something I do from time to time maybe, or during different moods, but these are mostly my main hobbies that I do day to day.
My main values are communication and effort. I believe anything can be achieved if both parties put the same amount of effort towards each other. That's how a true relationship will be built. In my eyes, communication is key to everything. I am a non-judgemental person, and always want and willing to talk everything through, so every opinion is heard, every view is understood and both parties are satisfied. Without clear and well communication, everything will just fall apart piece by piece, especially if the communication and effort is one sided.
Your location or distance doesn't matter. My age range is 18 - 35.
If any of this caught your interest, feel free to reach out!

2024.05.17 13:18 OrisRevenge Companions

Companions
This is Balin and I‘m new to be a snakes companion (got him on March 9th). And I read books and threads about snakes but some thing always excites and confuses me at the same time. I see BP beeing part of the daily life. Chilling on the couch, hanging around while watching TV or playing video games. Sometimes it seems like they are close to a dog or cat when you compare this type of behaviour who also like to be around or close to you.
Since I‘m new and Balin is young (hatched at the beginning of February) we are currently working on being used to me or us and being picked up. And I try to figure some things out - for the future of course, when he is ready.
What first came to my mind, when I saw a Phyton on the couch, was, that this isn‘t the right environment for a snake, or could it be for a short period of time? Are they okay with a texture like that? I saw a video of a BP who actively was making him/herself comfortable on a blanket - on top of it, she/ he didn‘t try to hide themself. Or another snake was exploring a bed and seemed relaxed.
The next thing was a BP who liked chin rubs. No heavy rubs, obviously. Should I pet Balin? In my opinion it is obviously depending on his progress of getting used to the touch and if he wants to petted. But all the things I read were related to take care of them, not how to socialize. And now I see a totally new aspect. Maybe he would like to be petted at some point and I absolutely would do it.
The next question is related to the pet-question and might be for some people over the top because not everyone thinks this way about their pets but I am always concernd about their boundaries. For example when my cat is lying around somewhere and not actively wants to be petted, I always extend my hand into her direction so she can give me a sing if she wants to be petted. But how do I know he wants to be touched or be picked up? And do they actually want this? Or are they just used to it and are like „Fine… whatever…“? Is there any sign or behaviour to identify what they want in this regards?
I would be very glad and thankful if you would share your experiences and knowledge to this topic. 😊

Memory Transcription Subject: Taisa, Venlil Starship Engineer, Crystal Star Shipping Co-Owner
Date [Standardized Human Time]: October 16th, 2136
Stars… doom or not, that moon is beautiful.
Earth’s own spotlight still hung in the sky, creeping ever higher backlight more and more of the fleet waiting in anticipation. The moon’s pure white light scattered aimlessly across the mountains, shimmering like liquid silver on the surface of the river flowing through the valley far below us. Slinking dark forms of ships that slipped beyond her light made their presence known through the trailing wisps their ion thrusters jetted out behind them; painting the soil-black sky with twisting, swirling hues of blue amongst the shimmering stars.
A warm and weighty hand pulled me close as the cool night air of the mountains flowed through my wool, coaxing a contended purr to build and blossom in my chest as I pressed into Chris’ side, stretching up to nuzzle into his neck before leaning forward and snatching another ‘hummus’ covered carrot from the tray to pop it into my mouth. The delicious, savory smoothness of the hummus accompanied the sweet harshness of the carrot perfectly, sending a trill of pleasure through my chest before I continued my story.
Anyhow, Quilleth and I, despite her continuous protests, get assigned to the same design herd for one of our final projects. We had an old Triconn Drive Systems TC-547 Jump drive and one of their ‘standard’ fusion cores to go with it, one of the worst pairs of speh-stacks ever built if you ask me, that we needed to rebuild and get working again, and she wanted no part of having to ‘deal’ with me for any extended period of time. Tavareth, my jump-drive maintenance and design professor, was adamant that,” I stopped, pulling in a breath and puffing out my chest, doing my best to mimic the old, gray trunked Mazic. “Ahem, ‘In a work environment you’ll have to work past your differences to make the herd stronger.’ and all kinds of other speh that amounted to ‘I need to fill out this herd the rest of the way and you two are who’s left.’”
“They both sound so pleasant.” Chris rumbled, a chuckle in his voice as he grinned, handing me another of his ‘cracker sandwiches’ before turning his eyes back to the stars high above.
“That’s a word for it.” I agreed, giving a jovial whistle past the crumbling cracker and deliciously smooth nut-spread. “But she dropped that tune real fast the second we came up to a real problem in the project trying to source a new, or at least rebuildable, primary magnetic accelerator. I called Parnel and had a brand new one, that was well past any spec we were expected to meet, in our workshop and installed within the paw. After that I checked the drive’s Tritium levels, rerouted every coolant line, field flow point and magnetic induction coil so they actually worked right, stars forbid those wool brains at Triconn ever design something right the first time, to get everything I could out of the new accelerator assembly.”
“Now why does that sound familiar?” Chris mused, a sly smile on his face as scooped a fistful of crunchy chips into his mouth.
“You can shush Captain ‘try his damnedest to burn out every subsystem he can find’, half the re-routing I have to do now is your fault!” I replied with an amused whistle, paffing the back of his head with my tail-tuft before continuing. “Now, after I’d… dove into the ove-”
“As you often do.” Chris cut in, a smile on his face as he prodded my side with a burbling laugh in his voice.
Shush!” I bleated in return, the warmth of a spreading bloom driving the sneaking cold of the mountain air from my wool. “As I was saying, after I dove into the drive, Quilleth and our other partners, mostly Quilleth, had taken it on themselves to handle the core’s overhaul and refueling. Leave it to most herds to take the easy route and not learn something if they can get away with it, you can damn well bet they made sure to document that I was the one who worked on the drive and that the, far easier, core was all them. The work on the drive took a while by myself but I still managed to get everything done and put together before we had to spin it up for the test-paw.”
“How do you test a drive and a core if it's not on a ship? Feels like a fast way to make a problem for yourself.” Chris asked, his eyes focused on me, interest plain on his face as his hand wrapped around my side to pull me close.
“Well the drives physically can’t engage if they’re in a sufficient gravity well, and VP is well beyond that threshold, so we just spin them up, take readings to ‘prove’ that they’d work in a real application. I argued we should have had a few shuttles with remote diagnostics and control systems, like we used during your flight training, to do the tests to show they actually did work since correct readings in a gravity well and correct readings in applied use can be different and you wouldn’t know until you were in orbit and getting ready to jump. Tavareth said he’d have ‘loved to give us the chance but the university didn’t have the funds to allocate’ or some other excuse the faculty always used to avoid doing things the right way.” I replied, waving my paws in frustration at the amount of projects that were only given a curled tail of thought before being dumped on us to complete, real world applications or not.
“Sounds a lot like Trepassy’s parent company, unless it was a ‘mission critical component’ as they put it, then they didn’t much care to fix it if it didn’t keep her stuck in port. Always made the excuse that the repairs weren’t in the budget while posting ten plus percent margins. Didn’t matter how much me and the cap’ called and bitched them out for busted Air-con or the rec-room being entirely bare they always said the same damned thing. Bunch of assholes.”
My tail set to wagging at the idea of Chris and his captain shouting into a phone at some other Human half the world away about something that felt all too familiar. “Anyways, we get everything set up on the testing field outside of Dayside, get the systems mounted into their cooling and fuel channels before we start spooling the core up and putting power to the drive. Before too long Tavareth announces that everything looks stable and we can begin putting load onto the system, everything climbs their scales well. The warp field levels off with the expected fluctuations of a drive being operated way too far into a gravity well to maintain any real stability and the core temperature looks good. Everything’s holding steady, Tavareth looks pleased, the rest of my project-herd is congratulating each other on a project completed.”
“Then the core temp starts climbing, blooming well beyond any ‘acceptable’ overheating limiter Quilleth, Uderek or Ofent could have seen fit to set. I looked over and found all three of them watching the core start to melt down in disbelief as Tavereth slams down every single E-stop he can find on the command console. Suddenly everything stops, the room goes quiet as the distant, now glowing white core is dumped straight into an abort tank to expend its… energy somewhere a bit safer. ”
“Tavereth whipped around faster than I’d ever seen that big old Mazic move and oh stars was he furious!” I bleated, tossing my paws in the air at the memory of him studying each of us in turn before launching into an angry tirade. “That core was as bright as the stars themselves but it had nothing on the bloom positively glowing beneath Quilleth’s coat! He laid into all of us for a solid five minutes, calling out everything that could have gone wrong under Sollaglick’s light and I didn’t say a thing until she tried to blame me for forgetting to install the limiters!”
I saw the corner of Chris’ mouth curl in a tight smile, he knew what was coming but it still felt so good to be able to revel in it with my own herd, pack or whatever we should have been called. “Then I threw her own write up right back at her! Pointed out every note that explicitly called out that I only worked on the drive and that the core was all them, more specifically that SHE was supposed to have installed the limiters almost a herd before according to their schedule!”
“Uderek, Ofent and I all got a stern warning about why you should always check your herd-mates’ work and I got a gruff ‘good work’ for the drive before Tavereth positively berated Quilleth for the next quarter claw! Those two were good to me for the tail end of the semester, I’d hoped they’d try to keep in touch after we went our separate ways but… well they really didn’t.” I sighed with a shrug, the sun falling from my field at the memory of the last time I’d seen the chipper Gojid and our Tilfish friend.
“Well, hopefully things are going good for them, sometimes folks get busy… maybe they figure they don’t wanna bother you! ‘Specially now that you got your own ship and whatnot!” Chris comforted, his hands tracing wonderfully comforting circles through my wool.
Could always try to get in contact again if we make it through this.
>Agreed.< “Maybe I should, would be nice to have even more paws onto look at any of the problems Darno and I can’t… Stars above what is that?!
My breath hitched in my throat as I looked to the stars, watching as the fleets high above began to exchange zipping tails of blue and green. A horrid, deadly light show filled the void high above earth, ships on both sides taking and serving hits with the fervor only people fighting for their lives, and the lives of everyone they’d ever known, could truly muster. The blazing trails of plasma slammed into the distant motes, scattering their vibrant colors in globs across the tapestry of the stars before some of them were joined by the flash of critical reactors and munition blowouts.
But amongst it all that wasn’t even the most of it.
For a brief moment I had thought the U.N. had decided to throw their entire moon at the fleet, another break-tail juke to smash as much of the fleet as they could; but the vectors were all wrong. They weren’t propelling here, they were taking off from her. The light of the moon was ablaze, obscured with towering pillars of smoke and fire, cacophonous trails of burnt oxygen and hydrogen traced a stampede directly to the extermination fleet. No, what they had actually chosen to do was far worse.
They’d stowed what looked like a never ending salvo of gargantuan missiles waiting for the exact moment to drop everything they had on the extermination fleet. A thought crossed my mind, a display from some stars-forsaken exhibit in the capital’s museum called ‘true evil’, its content was positively laughable now, about how many atomics humanity had made before they’d ’annihilated’ themselves. I think the curator had harvested the numbers a shear or two short. The sky lit up like a battery of strobes, the constant cracking light of splitting atoms nearly turning night to day as they spread like a blight through the assaulting fleet.
I couldn’t help but pull my lips back in a smile as my tail thumped rapidly against the stone beneath me. That mote of hope in my chest grew, watching the burning hulks full of people who wanted nothing more than to destroy everything about this world I’d come to love break apart, venting atmosphere as they sat, hanging in the void. Some tried to turn tail and limp away, some slipped into Earth’s gravity, their battered hull sections turning to voracious fireballs as they plummeted toward the hard, unforgiving dirt below.
Should’ve stayed home.
The thunk and twang of Chris’ instrument slipping from its case harvested my attention, my eyes sliding from the battle high above to the glowing white instrument resting in his hands. His own eyes turned to the sky, hovering for a moment as he plucked a few discordant notes from the instrument before looking back down and over to me, meeting my gaze.
“‘Suppose now’s as good a time as any.” He shrugged, giving me a small smile as I nodded, wrapping my tail around his wrist before gently nuzzling into his neck and turning my eyes back to the battle.
The sharp, plucky, barking twang of the banjo called out across the mountain tops, echoing back to us like a distant friend as Chris’ voice filled the air, joining the banjo in its reprise. The slow, wavering song danced between us just as the violence for the stars above, weaving amongs the whispering chorus of the trees and the chattering, throaty backing of evening insects.
“But I want to be where all the stupid shit I say Sounds so romantic and true.
Cause I'd rot in hell with you,
If you'd just ask me to.
I love the shitty things we do together,
Live with me in this sin forever.”
Memories flooded my mind with the words and hanging notes that echoed across the valley before us. The panic of our first solo flight as Chris pushed Shamrock for everything she’d had to give us, trying desperately to keep her in one piece as he blew past every limiter to get Maeve to the hospital as fast as we could. Concern roiling in my chest as I helped him to the truck after he’d dove into the river after, soaked to the bone, shivering and frozen but still so proud. The frustration of the two of us hard at work on Polani the paw after we’d gotten her, tail, and elbow, deep in carbon, grease and oil as we cursed everything under the stars. The fear of the cradle as the thunder of shells slamming into Polani’s hull filled her halls, the horror as one stalked me within my home…
“Cause home is the last place that I'd stand to be with anyone but you.
I'd rot in hell with you, If you'd just ask me to.
I love the shitty things we do together, Live with me in this sin forever.
Hell and you, I know you want it too.
I hope you take the shot, see this chance.
Feel the fire, and let me have this dance with you.”
I pressed into his side with a contented sigh, listening to the last echoing twangs of the Banjo and his voice as they called back across the great expanse before us. A long, cool breath filled my lungs before I leaned up to give his cheek a small, loving lick as a purr rolled through my chest. “I love everything we do together too, Love. Almost as much as I love just having you in my life at all.”
His mouth split into that broad, goofy grin as his hand pulled me just a little closer, his heavy voice rolling through me, just as comforting as always. “I love you too, Darlin’.”
“So…” I whistled, my tail twitching back and forth with amusement as I spoke into his neck. “About that dan-”
The words faltered in my mouth as a building light caught my eye, harvesting my attention skyward.
There, seemingly hanging in the sky, a pair of ships were tangled, no speared together. Both of them were burning fuel as munitions explosions wracked their hulls and trailing plumes of wispy atmosphere vented from their hulls as they plummeted to earth together, locked in their own deadly dance. The fires of re-entry blazed across both of their hulls as parts, pods and melted trails of slag broke away from both of them. The rammer’s guns opened up, sending round after round out after the escape pods that had bailed from the other ship, turning scores of them into little more than puffs of smoke that never had a chance.
As the pair grew closer I could finally make out what they were, or at least who the aggressor was. A Federation light cruiser was speared dead in her midship by the unmistakable, sleek curves of a Venlil Destroyer ending in a hextet of thrusters that still belched plumes of burning hydrogen fuel into the sky as she drove her opponent towards the certain death of the mountains below them with everything they had. The screaming roar of the ship reached my ears, their cacophonous echos casting across the mountain range like the angered, belligerent wails of someone defending everything they held dear.
That ship doesn’t have U.N. markings… Stars above that ship… those are Venlil.
“Damn…”
“Stars above…”
Chris and I watched what amounted to a grand, defiant headbutt as it traced its path down from the stars above. The pair of dancing ships continued their descent, pirouetting to the mountains below them like experienced partners just as their arms and thrusters screamed at each other like enemies with a centuries old grudge to settle.
“Shit… they’re comin’ down on Salt Pond.” Chris whispered, his eyes tracking the pair as they plummeted.
Mountains rose into sight beneath them, the distant mountain’s peak rose into the sky like it was anticipation, just hoping for the chance to dash the interloper across its face.
“H-How far is that?”
“‘Bout twenty miles as the crow flies. ‘Least no one lives on that one I think, ‘sides maybe the rangers.”
The fleets far above them were still locked in a furious fight, the monstrous flanks of the federation ships pushed on, crashing through the defenders like a harvester through wool-grass. Ships of both sides fell from their formations, ablaze like the stars around them, only growing brighter before flaring into catastrophic explosions that cast them into incalculable pieces that fell to the ground below like a meteor shower.
“Think they’ll manage?” I whispered, a sprout of fear and doubt managing to push past the stone of hope I’d done my best to embed in my heart.
“I hope so, Darlin’. I ho-“
The cacophonous screech and cavernous boom of metal crashing into stone, trees and dirt filled the air, drowning his voice out and sending birds scattering from the trees around us as the ground beneath us shuddered from the impact.
Then everything went whi-

2024.05.17 13:11 The-Celebrimbor Having issue at work planing on writing this to my boss. I believe there will be some mistakes as English is not first language

Mark as you can tell the situation at work has been growing increasingly more tense day by day. You have expressed concern with my performance, I have been making attempts to improve. Yet I see a lack of concern with the issues I have expressed to you. At the moment of writing this latter I have been operating for 2 months with Frank and Devin as members of my WR team. I have expressed concern about having Mike taken away from WR before this has become “the norm”. As you know he is a valuable team member due to the knowledge he accumulated from working with the company for a long period of time. I found it acceptable for Jack to barrow him on an occasion for help when needed (now I understand that perhaps I have been way to linnet when it comes to this). You have expressed that there were days when you had only 3 team members (perhaps you were including yourself in the count). I can see how complaining about a lack of team members for 2-4 days can seem childish, 1 week can be written off as an unfortunate set of circumstances (maybe there is an audit coming up, maybe a higher up visitor from the company). At 2 weeks this begins to raise some concern (perhaps the buys season is upon us and we are training up new team members that we just hired). 3 weeks a MONTH is getting very frustrating (at this point all kinds of explanations are rapidly deteriorating). One would begin to ask himself “why has this been happening for so long?” or “Am I being taken advantage off”. I see the XDock team expand, I see yours and Bella’s team expand, but there isn’t even a whisper of my team expanding or even returning to the usual size. I have been working as a Supervisor and a Bagger with no compensation for the fact that I am preforming a job 2 people. It is only now that my base pay has risen 10 cents above what is offered to new team members who join with no experience. There are people on 1st shift making 22.50$/hr. Working 3rd shift should have a significantly larger compensation (working 3rd is unnatural, not only dose it derail a person’s day to day life, but it is also more stressful). You wouldn’t want nor be able to work 3rd shift. (As a man with a family) At the same time whilst I’m down a team member you have made strides to expand my responsibility as a supervisor (I understand where you are coming from, the buys season is here, the workload for everyone has expanded, you are not able to complete tasks leftover by me or anyone else) But I believe that the timing of this is wrong, you should not have thrown more responsibly on me as a supervisor while I’m already doing the workload of 2 people for a prolonged period of time. I would like to remind you that unlike Bella or Tim I didn’t spend 1-2 weeks shadowing a person in this position. I was thrusted into working as Supervisor with no prior training. You have taken time to show me how to bill out SunSets, kick out an empty flatbed, call in a compactor exchange etc… But learning a task is better done in person (what I mean is this should be done when I can see it happen, not a hypothetical scenario of billing out a flatbed which I never see picked up, I see what I’m supposed to do on my end but I can’t tell if it is done correctly because I have no interaction with a person on the other end) All the tasks like billing out a partial pallet or Dock 69/72, which involve using AniTa(which is outdated and not intuitive program) should be in a binder as a step by step guide for a new or existing supervisors as a reference point .(Like we have done with Sunset, and PRA allocations). I feel that there is a lack of understanding when it comes to expectations. I am held to the same standards as 1st and 2nd shift whilst having a considerably worse team and less resources. What I mean by less resources? I am not completely sure how accurate my information is, but during 3rd shift the number of departments that are operational is cut in half, I believe that there is us the WR, Xdock, Block and Bagging. For a long period of time, we didn’t have a maintenance team (now that we have CJ it is better, but there are still nights when we have issues and he is nowhere to be found, you can ask Scott from bagging about this). We didn’t have a Yard horse driver until recently (although we do have one now, the WR is always last on his priority list, there have been nights where move on a Sunset has been put in before I even got here and wasn’t touched all night) In general, there is a feeling that WR is not important in comparison to other areas on the plant. We are the ones who have to give up the things that we have to others, be it team members, lifts, access to assistance from maintenance team, we always seem to come last. What I mean by a considerably worse team? Me and you had a conversation about this outside couple of months ago. I believe I used an expression “I am given everyone’s bad Appels but expected to make orange juice” I believe you laughed when I said that maybe you didn’t understand what I meant. First Mike while he is useful and knowledgeable when it comes to Bagging, he is very difficult to work with. He has gone from one site to another because of that reason. He drags his feet when asked to do something, or avoids doing it all together, or assigns other team members to do the tasks for him. He leaves the plant without letting me know to complete other tasks instead of cleaning. Recently with him coming to stay 10:30pm-12:00am to join his brother outside he has gotten even worse. He will come and spent 30 minutes talking to Devin then to Rob then to other team members, he might complete 1 bagging load. When asked to do anything else he takes a 10-minute break by that time it is already 11:40pm and he leaves. (At this point I would rather not have him here; he would be way more useful if he was outside taking mulch pallets left by 2nd shift or Clamp Hand Staking on Xdock). Second Frank. We had many conversations about him and his performance. To give you credit you have been very tolerant of him and when asked you did help(example being the new cameras, potential improvement coming to the Pallet Sorter). I have spoken to you about him falling asleep for 2-5 seconds at a time. I believe that I have told you that he expressed to me that he is suffering from Narcolepsy (A chronic sleep disorder that causes overwhelming drowsiness). We have already seen consciences of that. Most of his accidents involving the Forklift were caused by it. There were multiple times when he has been kicked of the lift for weeks on Xdock. I see this as a very dangerous situation not only for him but the safety of other team members, yet I have not seen any attempts to get this addressed. (He could fall asleep, fall down and hit his head on something) He has been sleeping before heading home as a safety measure to prevent himself from getting into an accident (I believe that’s why he had issues with his previous vehicle and doesn’t wish the same thing to happen to his new one). Devin. I am satisfied with him. He has good communication skills; he completes the tasks assigned to him in a reasonable amount of time. He has expressed to me that he is looking for other jobs (more in the tech sector to match his education). We have been fortunate that he hasn’t left us yet. I have been doing my very best to teach him how to preform different tasks, but I strongly believe that we are starting to push him too far. Now that we don’t have Mike and I have to run the bagging plant. Devin had to step up to pallet sorting during Franks lunch everyday (previously we had a rotation between me, Mike and, Devin). He has been a very good team member but I believe that he had picked up some bad habits primarily from Mike . Recently when I asked him to give me a hand with a clan up in bagging he has avoided coming, and began taking breaks to postpone it until I had no choice to do it all alone (whilst I might have been upset with him at the moment I understood that he has already been doing a lot) Backhallers. They are not backhallers they are Xdock team members which Jack uses to do backhalls. They might complete 4-6 backhalls in a given amount of time, but if Jack needs them for something else they have to do the work he assigns them (because there is an understating that Xdock work is more important). When I ask them to do something they don’t take me seriously unlike you and Bella I have almost no authority over them. If I ask them complete a task and Jack askes them to do something else they have to listen to him as his authority supersedes my (same if you asked me to do something nut if Neel asked me to do something else I would have to listen to him). Between running the bagger and keeping an eye on Frank and Devin and doing the clean up I have no time to watch over them, I have no way of reprimanding them if they do something wrong, but yet I am held accountable for the actions of people I have no power to influence. I can see how I can come off aggressive in this letter, but I am trying to communicate my frustrations with the current state of affairs. This is not an attack on you mark. The only reason I haven’t walked away from this, is out of my respect for you and understanding how difficult of a situation I would be putting the WR plant in. I often find myself asking one question. Why did you make me a supervisor and not someone else? (As I recall Mike was offered this position too). Maybe you chose me because of my good work at the Pallet Sorter, maybe because of my communication skills. But now I find myself pulled by the thought that in me you saw an individual who would do more for less, a sucker who is fine getting pushed around and will do more than what he is getting paid for. Perhaps I am wrong to think in this manner, but as time goes on and I see no attempts to improve this situation I grow increasing more frustrated.

2024.05.17 13:09 RideshareMilBrat Case Study

Case Study
Okay so all you drivers thinking short trips are the way, well what about this? .. I only accept 30$/hr trips. I do not care about miles. I only calculate the time / $ rounding to 1/3rds of 20 min.. and this was the result. Thoughts? Also funny story, was on a quest tonight and for 5 hours I only got 25+ min rides(I didn't want) and let me tell you, I made it by 10 min... even with a free stop and a train.. the second I picked up the last ride I got 4 short requests before I could shut it off, and it of course sends a 5th after just to insult me 😆. Don't care got my 55 bucks 🙃 even if they didn't want me to lol anyone else? Throttling is real.

2024.05.17 13:05 Still_Effect7818 To start a community on business trends news (startups, new interesting deals, AI-tolls ect.)

I am starting new (my own) community Moonly about new business trends. I will post 8–10 new, interesting business trends per week and example you can see in my channel. Im from Kazakhstan and thinking about to focus on my own country (Kazakh language cannel) or make content in English and can get subscribers worldwide. Examples are below:

5Mins — micro-education for corporations

At first, YouTube took the work away from blogs, people stopped reading long texts. Now TikTok sets the trends of media consumption — people no longer want to watch long videos.
Then why do companies still hope that employees will take long and boring refresher courses? Now the average return on online courses is 3%, and this figure is falling every year.
Startup 5Mins decided to fix this problem using its own LMS platform based on short videos. The training takes place every day and does not require much stress — all lessons are gamified and last up to 5 minutes. They consolidate knowledge by interval repetition of past lessons and various interactive activities. At the end of 2022, the startup attracted $5.7M investments.
More examples. In 2021, DeepHow raised $9M of investment in an AI-based worker training service. The expert records once on video how to do the job correctly. A smart algorithm cuts the video into a step-by-step plan and translates it into any language.
Arist — interactive courses in messengers. Also, in 2022, $12M of investments were raised.
The French startup Revyze tried to become a "TikTok for education" and raised €2M of investment a couple of years ago. The service focuses on preparing high school students for their final exams.
Zigazoo — educational short videos for children. Recently, the startup raised $100M of investments.
How to apply it? To launch similar projects with us.

2024.05.17 13:04 HollyPaints Why are savants hated so much?

I’m diagnosed with level 2 autism and have savant syndrome. The things I’m good at are art and music. I’m tired of people misunderstanding me and accusing me of “bragging” or “showing off” when I explain to people who ask questions and I explain maybe those people are gifted and share my personal experience. It’s almost as if they completely ignore the autism side that I struggle with on a daily basis and only see the perks or want to approach it as if autistic savants don’t exist or that when we do, we aren’t allowed to share our experiences or else we are just bragging or showing off when we are genuinely trying to explain something.
For example someone in the artist lounge subreddit asked why some young kids on social media are so good at art. I told them perhaps some may be gifted children like I was, and also explained others might just have a passion for art and practice a lot more, and in general that kids can learn things easier when picked up at a young age… be it language, art or musical instrument learning. It just comes across super jealous, bitter and insecure when people can’t accept that savants exist and that we have a life story or anecdote to share too. Someone accused me of bragging to which I replied it seems toxic to interpret it that way, and that it’s unfair to pretend savants don’t exist. I’ve seen people on that subreddit before try to claim talent doesn’t exist, and that art is solely a learned skill, which isn’t true but I don’t waste my time arguing about that. It’s been scientifically proven that the left temporal lobe is related to savant abilities and that art is one of the areas that savants are gifted or can excel in.
I feel like for those of us on the autism spectrum who also have savant syndrome, we are seen as being “better than” other people or false accused of being so, or bragging, or arrogant, when we just are trying to explain or answer people’s questions the best we can with our personal experiences. Are we now excluded from that or else we are braggers? That’s not fair…

2024.05.17 13:02 fredtheuser Day Thirty Two

Prayer or Pride?
Did you pray today, this morning?
A life without prayer is a life of pride.
A life without prayer is a life that relies on our flesh.
In my flesh dwells NO good thing.
I’m not much of a prayer warrior. Oh, I can talk a good game, but if you lived with me for a while, aside from wondering how a guy can eat that much cake and go through that many pairs of socks in a day (and leave them scattered like some weird bread trail for Mrs Fred to follow) you’d soon find that I’m a guy who does things on his own steam. I’m a self made kind of guy. Proud independent American. Protestant work ethic and all that.
The best thing about that attitude is that it doesn’t work. It’s a life of disappointment and procrastination and frustration. I’m a slow learner when it comes to things spiritual.
As such, I often have a God of last resort. And God, in His wisdom, lets me flail around and fail until I give up. God knows that if He intervened any sooner, I would take all the credit. Sure, I’ll mention God in my acceptance speech (I’d like to thank my mom and dad, my no good brother, and especially God! Thank you and good night!).
One of the reasons you’re here is that you’ve reached the end of your rope as concerns porn and masturbation. Maybe your penis is sore from the 8 times you abused yourself yesterday. Maybe your mom caught you. Or your no good kid brother saw your history, perhaps your wife wants to know what those charges are on the credit card. Or you can’t believe you crossed THAT line, the one you said you would never cross.
You’ve done pretty much every thing you could think of to quit on your own power. And here you are, with the rest of us misfits, losers, hypocrites, sinners, and failures. Guess what, you’re right where God wants you.
Step one of AA is realizing you’re powerless over porn and masturbation, over your fleshly sex sin, and that your life has become unmanageable. If you’re not there yet, rest assured, you’ll get there, we all do. You can see it from here.
Step two is “came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.” AA has to be vague so that they don’t chase off the atheists but we know better.
Do you believe that God can restore you to sanity?
If not, if you’re still doing this on your own, then you’re not there yet. It’s ok. We will wait. Pride has to run its full course.
However, if you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired, if you’re ready to give it up, then come along for the ride. Your Prodigal days are over. Give up. Come home.
A best of Fred from four years ago

2024.05.17 12:57 Spicy_bottoms_242 Difficulty with clients/arguing with clients

So I’m a Project Leader at my current job which means I essentially manage the project team and handle the clients.
This week, I’m not sure if it’s me but I’m having a really tough week with handling them.
I have several projects that are starting to be fabricated “construction for info” after a very long design process. I also managed the design as this is my background.
Earlier this week a client tried to blame me for something that is out of my scope, my company is not making, and the only part that I was supposed to do I sent over 6 months ago. I also made a schedule that I told them they would need to confirm with the responsible parties. The person who is making this thing hasn’t even been contracted yet, due to their incredibly lengthy contracting process, which has slowed down the whole production timeline. Additionally, their timeline is not aligning with the short production schedule the client is pushing due to their own internal processes regarding contracting.
I was really taken aback by this and I clapped back and told her that I wouldn’t accept responsibility for this as it was never a part of my scope. That I have done everything I can regarding this, and that the client hasn’t appointed anyone until now, and we’ve been talking about it for months. She got upset and left the meeting and later I apologized, but I was really not ok with being blamed for something publicly which was clearly not my fault.
Fast forward to the end of the week and another client is asking us to make a change that will slow down our production timeline.
While this part is a little bit my fault because they verbally mentioned this some time ago, their drawings have been fed to me slowly so it’s only recently become clear that there is an issue. I was so annoyed that the client is making this a sticking point , because in reality, it’s a very small thing and the amount of time it would take to fix it doesn’t seem worth it. So we went back and forth on it in a very intense exchange, where we both got annoyed at each other, but eventually we calmed down and talked about a way to solve it. I felt better about it at the end, and it was generally a productive discussion.
However, I am wondering if there is something wrong with how I am approaching this. Like, I fundamentally work very hard and everyone seems very happy with the work I’m doing, but this week just seems to be this week of one thing after the other. Is this just part of the job? Should I just take this as part of learning how to deal with situations? These are some of the most complicated projects I have ever worked on and the learning curve has been steep, so maybe it’s just that I am physically tired and want them to be finished?

2024.05.17 12:56 Potential-Bar4925 AITA For pretending to be something I'm not with my girlfriend?

I 22M have been with my girlfriend 22F for almost 2 years now, it's been the happiest two years of my life and I genuinely want to marry her someday
for context: we live in a middle-eastern muslim country where there isn't much freedom of speech or even beliefs, she wears hijab, I respect her religious belief and it doesn't change how I feel about her whatsoever, she's a great person. But I don't share the same beliefs, and I keep it to myself because if I let it be known, it could literally endanger my life, and I will be ousted from everything at best.
I know for a fact she will not accept me for who I am and she has the right to be with someone like herself and the religion enforces that muslim women can only marry muslim men
AITA for being with her while I don't share the same beliefs? and considering I can't tell her the truth, how should I breakup with her (if that's the right thing to do)? and when will this end? I'm not gonna find someone who fits me better
TL;DR My girlfriend is muslim and she doesn't know I'm not, because I can't be honest about my beliefs in this country, AITA?

2024.05.17 12:55 Review01999 I know he loves me. But his betrayal when drunk leaves me in with doubt. I need help.

We’ve been together for 10 months and he’s been perfect, more than what I expected. He’s logical, he knows a lot and taught me about a lot of things. He opens doors for me, He gives me first bites of everything, he prioritises what I want to eat, where I want to go, how we spend our time, he holds me close whenever wherever, in front of his family, his friends, anyone. He craves quality time with me. He’s ALWAYS available whenever I need him. He stays with me until our problem is solved, in fact he’s the one that always wants to resolve conflict before the day ends. He’s got friends, but he always prioritise me over them. He’s willing to convert to my religion for me. His routine consist of work, home, me.
I’m aware he’s a gem, he’s a rare old soul and I love him with all my heart and soul. Like he does, I also give my all for him. He’s becoming my lifestyle and I prioritise him over everything. I find myself changing for the better with him. I make sure he knows my love through words and actions. I don’t care what people see, I make statement that he’s mine whenever we go out, proudly.
I thought my life has been too good to be true. I thought I hit the jackpot in life. I’ve imagined our future together when we get married. We talk about our future often, we talk about marriage and we both agree we want it soon. I thought I’d be in a new chapter next year, so did he. He’s my first, and I am his. At our age it’s not easy to be someone’s first.
But he betrayed me when he was drunk. I’ve told him I wanted to wait for marriage, but he betrayed me.
Before getting into this, I need to point out that during our early stage, we were physical but not too much. I was only comfortable with touch outside of clothes. I made that clear to him although when we get physical he does play around to reach inside, which I’d playfully stop him. But whenever we fall asleep together, I find him reaching inside my clothes and pants. I pretended to be asleep and multiple times this happens. Until one day I hear a camera sound. Then I woke up and I called him out. I left him to cool myself down. When we face each other again, he cried. He said he’s truly sorry and would never do it again. At the same time I felt bad because it’s such a normal thing that people his age would have access to and I’m limiting him of it. So I accepted his apology and at the time I was ready to move to next stage, so I let him do what he wants except one, penetration before marriage. I feel like I’ve never gotten closure on whether or not its something that he’d repeat again, because I lift the restriction for him forever.
Back to current event, we recently got drunk and I was unconscious. He was also drunk but pulled himself together to direct us to our hotel. When I woke up, my clothes were off, but panties. And I felt him pulling it off, and I was petrified. Long story short, he tried penetrating me with what I believe was his finger, though he failed multiple times. He tried to stroke in twice with his penis, but it failed to go in and slid up instead. I do know he was trying to lubricate me using his ways, and finally when I feel like he’s about to succeed, I pushed him away. He stops and fell straight to sleep, till the morning.
I broke up with him on the day. He’s been apologising, and he was drunk and doesn’t know why he couldn’t keep himself together, he told me tried so hard but he kept coming back. He said he really wants me. He said it might’ve been the whole vibe that we were in. He owns up to all his faults, even through text message. He’s willing to quit alcohol once and for all, he’s been begging me ever since.
I love him so much. But I’m afraid of his conscience that seems to be low. I know he’s sorry and remorseful, but this is something that should have never happened in the first place. I’m thinking if he could do this to me, during our best relationship phase. What could he do, during our stagnant phase if it were to ever come?
I want to break up with him for good out of fear. But at the same time, I’m starting to think that he has some sexual control issue. I know our sexual chemistry match really well. Our drive is very much similar. We both love it. It’s just that I seem to have more ability to wait until marriage than him. What if this issue is not because he doesn’t respect me, but he’s actually struggling to control it and needs my help?
He’s someone who’s happy to compromise, he loves vaping, but I told him of my worry with the dangers it comes with. He’s willing to tone it down slowly and working on stopping. The point that he completely stopped was due to the price increase, which he can afford, but he thinks it’s ridiculous. So in my eyes, if it’s something like that, he’s able to compromise. He’s also fasted for a whole month for me, he didn’t have to but to get along with my religion, he did. I know it’s not something easy. No water, no food, especially when he works in carpentry which is physical work. So I know he’s got the ability to compromise. He’s been trying to compromise with my wants regarding sex. What if he’s really got some mental issue about control with sex? What do I do? One of the thing that he said to me, was I don’t know how he felt at the time, which to me means it was crazily uncontrollable. That’s why I’m having benefit of the doubt for him.
If anyone had similar experience, please do tell me. I really need help.

they see YOU AND ME as slaves who work for them and should accept their poor life ! BUT you are NOT THEIR SLAVE, YOU SET THE PRICE !!!
i will buy today 1000 more , just to appreciate their friendly offer !! im so sick of this fake freedom! this slavery hidden under the cloak of freedom and rights and democracy bla bla
WHATS 80 usd per share ??? such a LOWBALL OFFER FOR SAVING YOUR SYSTEM ! still no respect for GME shareholders. if they would RESPECT you , they would and they CAN offer a way higher offer !
by the way, the price is controlled too , so much about freedom of the market. they cannot drop it very low, they are afraid all shares get DRS causing MOASS. too high is margin call for them and MOASS ! the moment they cannot controll it they lost. that means , basically , not free market .
offer at least 10.000 usd for 1 share , then it would STILL BE LESS than the most valuable company on earth, to save your slavery and keep fooling people
THEY NEED YOUR SHARES , MAYBE SHOULD START RESPECT SOMEONE IF YOU NEED SOMETHING FROM HIM !!!
this stock is the cure of the illness
