This is a place for people who are or want to become Financially Independent (FI), which means not having to work for money. Financial Independence is closely related to the concept of Early Retirement/Retiring Early (RE) - quitting your job/career and pursuing other activities with your time. At its core, FI/RE is about maximizing your savings rate (through less spending and/or higher income) to achieve FI and have the freedom to RE as fast as possible.

2024.05.20 08:48 confused-content Anxiety about taking up new job I'm not passionate about

I was laid off last year from my job as a content designer. I was previously a content marketer for 10 years. I've been the happiest I've been in the last few months, taking up freelance and consulting work (but not enough as of now to pay the bills, I need some steady income). Ideally, I want to work a 4 day week and have one day a week for my side gigs and build on that... and long term goal is to be a consultant.
I have currently been offered a role in content marketing with a tech startup, pay is OK. I tried negotiating for a 4 day week but that didn't work. They do good work, and have a good reputation. I also am interviewing for a content designer role at a nonprofit which looks really interesting but the pay is much lower and career progression is non existent. I would love to do pivot to content design but job security is a lot less and the industry is seeing a lot less value in it right now.
Logically the startup job looks pretty good and nothing should stop me from taking it. But I'm terrified of not liking the job as it's not something I'm particularly passionate about. I've gone through anxiety, panic attacks and burnout when I worked for a startup previously. The marketing team is tiny and I'm likely to do a lot of the heavy lifting -- that's already making me anxious and defensive about setting my boundaries. How can I make peace with my decision of accepting the job offer? I'm safe without a salary for the next 6 months but I don't want to push it.

2024.05.20 08:48 itsquacknotquack 6w7, 7w6, 1w9? Is it common to be stuck between these types?

So, I'm thinking a 6w7, but would love some more knowledgeable Enneagram opinions. What are your thoughts?
1. How do you typically react to stress or conflict? Do you become confrontational, avoidant, or try to keep the peace? - 1: avoidant, but also a bit of the other two.
2. What motivates you in life? Is it the desire for success, the need for security, the pursuit of knowledge, or something else? - 2: I desire freedom, space to be myself, and acceptance; with these things I can be my best self, and in turn fix any security or success issues if need be.
3. How do you see yourself in relation to others? Are you more independent and self-reliant, or do you tend to seek approval and validation from others? - 3: I contrast hard with this one: I'm both quite independent, have few friends and do a lot by myself (and enjoy all of these things), but also find myself reliant on external validation, reassurance and 'forgiveness' from others as I often feel they actually may dislike me or not want me/want me around anymore.
4. What is your biggest fear or insecurity? Is it being abandoned, feeling incompetent, losing control, or something else? - 4: being trapped somewhere I don't want to be, lacking the freedom or opportunity to fix the issues at hand or find a way out. In my brain, as long as my plans aren't full, and I have time and some resources, I'm free. This freedom means I'm safe to fix and improve whatever needs that in my life.
5. How do you handle emotions? Are you comfortable expressing your feelings openly, or do you tend to suppress them? - 5: I often express emotions privately, and due to my lack of energy overall, I don't 'feel' a lot of emotions often. Except for nervousness and anxiety, anger and sometimes satisfaction/happiness. I do suppress them overall if they 'get in the way', and often I don't express them to others unless I know it will help me. But when people show an interest in my emotions, I'll let them out.
6. How do you make decisions? Do you rely more on logic and reason, or do you trust your gut instincts and intuition? - 6: both, but it feels more gut instinct and intuition. My brain will battle me on the 'why's and 'how's, but I often go with the 'vibe' or feeling of something to guide me.
7. What are your core values and principles? What do you consider most important in life? - 7: my core values would be respecting others, living freely, prioritising present moment and enjoyment, and not actively taking away from the world without giving back in some way. I feel often there's a sentiment of 'everyone pays their way, no one takes without giving back' and that if you 'believe, you can achieve' in what I do and hope for.
8. How do you approach relationships? Are you more guarded and cautious, or do you tend to be open and trusting? - 8: I'm cautious to avoid upsetting, annoying or angering people. I often will do whatever they ask of me, and try to do everything right. But I also pick and choose who's worth the immense effort to do that for. If I'm not doing that, I'm almost completely disinterested in relationships with people, and may go a bit 'the big lebowski' and become very laidback, low energy and jaded.
9. What are your typical strengths and weaknesses? What patterns or tendencies do you notice in your behavior? - 9: I have weaknesses of being very paranoid, anxious and overthinking. I can also be overly self-critical and insecure. I bail from things early if I don't like them, try to avoid making promises I don't want to keep. I self-isolate a lot, to my own detriment.

2024.05.20 08:45 mrsvanjie Pramipexole making me depressed? Augmentation severe and doctors won’t take me seriously

I have had RLS (since I can remember) at 16, although I remember having sleep problems as a child so it’s quite possible it started much younger.
I’ve managed the condition using marijuana but tried ropinerole about 7 years ago. I came off of that after a few weeks due to the nausea and constant hot flushes.
During a pregnancy almost two years ago the symptoms became severe. I was of course not using marijuana during pregnancy and therefore was sleeping 2-3 hours per night, spending the night crying… then going insane as this progressed for around 8-10 weeks of sleep deprivation. Doctors wouldn’t take me seriously because they didn’t want to medicate me. Finally a sleep doctor prescribed codeine but the dose I required to get rid of my symptoms was too high for him to be comfortable. Then I was put on pramipexole (sifrol), this helped at 0.125 for a while and then needed to be increased to 0.250. My symptoms started occurring earlier in the night, slowly moving from 8:30 to 7:30 and then earlier. And now my symptoms start from about 3am and continue well into the morning, even happening while I am exercising at the gym.
Sadly the pregnancy ended in a loss, not related to the medication or sleep issues, but I continued to take the medication and using medical marijuana and Valium for nights the symptoms are unbearable.
I have now been on pramiexole for about 1.5 years and it is clearly not working. I refuse to increase my dose because of augmentation and we are currently trying to conceive. I also notice a lack of impulse control at higher doses.
My sleep doctor prescribed me Targin to come off of pramipexole for 10 days (cold turkey I might add) and then go back on it to see if it ‘reset’ the medication, but this didn’t work.
But! When I was taking 5mg targin in the morning and 10mg targin at night, I no longer had RLS. It was amazing!
I went back to the doctor and told him that pramipexole isn’t working, I don’t want to increase, my symptoms have augmented severely to the point I have RLS 24/7 and I asked to be put on Targin. (Opiates are safer in pregnancy than dopamine agonists so this was part of my thought process - why keep taking something that doesn’t work that well and isn’t pregnancy safe). He refused as he is worried about dependence and then told me to increase my pramipexole dose instead… he gave me targin for breakthrough symptoms however targin is not effective for this because it takes 2 hours to kick in, and when I have breakthrough symptoms, I need something to work quickly. I tried to increase my pramipexole dose and stopped after two days because my impulse control was horrendous.
Between the last visit and next visit (next week) it has been almost two months. In the meantime, my husband and I are suspecting that pramipexole may be responsible for other psychological symptoms that I am experiencing. I experience an inability to deal with stress and end up with leaden paralysis quite often. I experience many of the symptoms of dopamine agonist withdrawal, no motivation, no interest in activities or hobbies. So my husband suggested I try to halve my dose back to 0.125 to see how I was, and my ability to deal with stress improved but my RLS is so severe that I am struggling to function. I went back to 0.250 and the same depressive symptoms occurred.
Anyway… sorry for the long post but I will be seeing my sleep doctor next week, I’ll be bringing my husband along to advocate for me because it seems my doctor doesn’t take me seriously. We want me to be off of pramipexole. I can’t take gabapentin due to its unsafe nature in pregnancy (but I also don’t even want to take this medication in the first place). For me, the only logical solution is daily opiate therapy. I would rather be dependent on opiates than to suffer the agony that I am in now. But my doctor won’t support this.
Any advice for my appointment or situation? (Absolutely no alternative medicine suggestions please and thank you)
Anyone else feel that dopamine agonists changed their personalities and caused them to be depressed?

2024.05.20 08:44 TheCactusPunk What is a good career for someone who experiences audio processing disorder and dsylexia?

I'm asking because we'll...I've had unpleasant experiences working. Basically I did retail and every time it ended bad. Meaning I had a diffcult time problem solving with very angry customers and I always had to go to the manager or another staff member to problem solve it. I notice myself would get highly anxious when a customer would get furious. I also had diffculttly handing out money and made a few mistakes at the beginning but then eventually got the hang of it and was okay. However the managers would get frustrated at me unable to learn quickly enough and would threat at me I will lose my job, which would end in tears.
I did try to do 2D animation a course I did. However I always got confused with the number system and always asked friends to help me but they ended up got frustrated at me. Also hearing the sounds of flipping pages when people were animating annoyed the crap out of me.
I did try to do acting! I ended up sadly with a abusive toxic drama teacher, confirm by my therapist that told me they were abusive. Pretty much the drama teacher told me I was "low middle class" the way I spoke. Also told me when I did a short film with the teacher that I was responsible setting tone on set and it was my fault why the crew were distracted. He also question my religious beliefs which was werid because we were suppose to talk about drama. At the end I stopped going, I would end up leaving class in tears.
I thought to work at a libraby because my mum worked there and I thought "yeah I be safe, I won't lose my job here". I did shelving first and then I got involved helping out with kids events say Chinese New Year and made over 60 masks of the year of the Sheep one year. I also go involed with Halloween event and design the games and make the decorations etc. However!!! yet again it went down hill. I was working to becoming a Libraian assistant, at the time their was this manager we will name them Annie and she understood about my learning diffculties and that it would take me time to learn but I would eventually get it. Though when she retired it all went to hell! new manager was unaware about my learning diffculties. I was accused by staff putting books away wrongly. Also when I hand out change to the customers I was just dollar short, and the whole staff freak out like I had covid. And it eventually ended up some gossip session and went to team leader. I ended up doing compute program we all had to do for the libraby and I failed at that. The teacher told the manager I was incapable and my mother wasn't in the know until a friend at work told her. I wasn't told this and found out through my mum. My mum told me how the new manager told my mum I should work at some clothes shop. Which hurt hearing this I was then gonna be "WATCH" by the new manager behind the desk serving customers, I was so afarid and scared I will fail. I went to my mum in her office crying and she just went up to me and told me angrily "your not to suppose to cry here. I fear you to go to the manager and resigned from your position and say don't ask questions". I did that what my mum told me to do. After that I couldn't go to the libraby and shelve I felt so hurt and felt people were watching me. I ended up just not working anymore.
I did try to do art class online through a friend and we'll sadly I ended up doing everything. And my friend didn't do anything and I had to pull out and I wasn't being paid for it, since my friend at the time seem obsessed with doing it for free.
I'm now lost and depressed not sure what to do for my career. I haven't worked for 8 years due to my mental health and having therapy. Now I feel aimless and not sure what is point in life when you don't have direction.
My skills pretty much is Art. I do portraits. Pencil and traditional oil. I like to do illustrations and cartoons and I do that digitally. More than one therapist told me I'm empathic so I guess that is a skill. Usually I get people tell me their problems just randomly, and people who worked for years didn't have a clue what was going on for that person. and I like to make stories. I have a strong visual memory and imagation as well.
So I'm not sure what to do. I'm just so afarid if I do something again that I will fail. It almost feels like some werid curse. Any ideas?.

2024.05.20 08:44 harmoniousgreg What do I do if I think I am being gangstalked

I think there is people or a group after me, maybe government related maybe not. Probably government. I have heard the term gang stalking online but not sure much about it, I browsed this subreddit and I'm seeing a bunch of acronyms and it's only making this more confusing. I don't fuck with the police, I don't have anyone in my life who would take me seriously because I can't tell anyone why I think I'm being stalked. But what do I do? How do I escape this shit, how do I stay safe? What should I expect? Been going on around 6 months or so

2024.05.20 08:43 Then_Building_7622 Key Components of Successful Process Safety Management Systems

Introduction:
Process Safety Management (PSM) is essential for industries dealing with hazardous chemicals and complex operations. This paper outlines the key components of successful PSM systems, highlighting the importance of process safety, operational safety, and the utilization of Hazard Identification (HAZID) studies.
Key Components of Successful Process Safety Management Systems:
Strong Leadership and Safety Culture:
Leadership commitment is the cornerstone of an effective PSM system. Senior management must prioritize safety and demonstrate a genuine commitment to PSM principles. This commitment should be reflected in policies, resource allocation, and daily operations. A strong safety culture encourages employees at all levels to take ownership of safety, actively participate in safety programs, and communicate potential hazards without fear of retribution. Continuous reinforcement of safety values and open communication are vital for sustaining a robust safety culture.
Comprehensive Process Hazard Analysis (PHA):
Process Hazard Analysis is a systematic approach to identifying and evaluating potential hazards in industrial processes. A comprehensive PHA includes techniques such as HAZID studies, which help identify risks associated with processes, equipment, and operational procedures. Regularly updating PHAs to account for changes in processes, technology, or regulations is essential for maintaining effectiveness.
Detailed Operating Procedures:
Clear, detailed operating procedures are crucial for ensuring safe operations. These procedures should cover all phases of process operations, including start-up, normal operations, shutdown, and emergencies. Well-documented procedures help ensure consistency, reduce the likelihood of human error, and provide a reference for training new employees. Regular reviews and updates of these procedures ensure they remain relevant and compliant with current standards and regulations.
Management of Change (MOC):
An effective MOC program involves evaluating the potential safety impacts of proposed changes, implementing necessary controls, and ensuring that all affected personnel are informed and trained on the changes. Thorough documentation and tracking of changes help maintain process integrity and prevent unintended consequences.
Emergency Response Planning:
Developing and practicing emergency response plans is critical for minimizing the impact of incidents. These plans should outline the actions in various emergency scenarios, including evacuations, spill containment, firefighting, and medical response. Regular drills and evaluations help ensure that response teams are prepared and effective. Coordination with local emergency services and regulatory authorities enhances the robustness of emergency response strategies.
Incident Investigation and Analysis:
Investigating incidents and near-misses provides valuable insights into potential weaknesses in the PSM system. A thorough investigation involves identifying root causes, contributing factors, and underlying issues. Lessons learned from incidents should be used to improve safety practices, update procedures, and prevent recurrence. Transparency and a non-punitive approach encourage the reporting of incidents and near-misses, facilitating continuous improvement.
Continuous Improvement and Auditing:
Continuous improvement is a fundamental principle of successful PSM systems. Regular audits and inspections help identify areas for improvement and ensure compliance with safety standards and regulations. Performance metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) can be used to track safety performance and identify trends. Organizations should foster a culture of continuous learning, where feedback and new information are used to enhance safety practices and processes.
Conclusion:
A successful Process Safety Management system is built on strong leadership, a safety-oriented culture, comprehensive hazard analysis, detailed operating procedures, and continuous training. Effective Management of Change procedures, robust emergency response planning, thorough incident investigations, and a commitment to continuous improvement are also crucial. By integrating these key components, organizations can enhance process safety, operational safety, and overall risk management. Utilizing tools like HAZID studies ensures a proactive approach to identifying and mitigating hazards, ultimately protecting personnel, assets, and the environment. Embracing these components fosters a resilient and safety-conscious organization, capable of sustaining safe and efficient operations.

2024.05.20 08:37 Queasy_Possession_67 Journey to Unphimosis

My journey began mid to late last year (m 20 then) and at the point I had never seen the head of my penis and having been desensitised to porn growing up you do grow with this reality that something isn’t normal. Irrespective of this I never really took any action and just assumed like for everyone else that one day it will naturally loosen up.
However this wasn’t the case and having a girlfriend and partaking in sensual activities you do realise that whilst my condition was not at the severe end it was still making any action in the bedroom highly uncomfortable. This would lead to slight cuts, not being able to finish and really affecting my mental state and making me feel ashamed that Id struggle to finish. It would also make me feel bad for my girlfriend to by not being able to finish and I think it really affected the both of us.
So for me it was about taking a stand, doing the research and like all good things in life nothing comes easy. Hours of reading to figure out what is happening, the seriousness and ways to address. I initially went to a GP who was completely useless and not interested so I began to do my own work. Slow stretching in a warm shower and within two weeks I managed to whilst flacid retract my foreskin. Whilst this was exciting you realise the years of hygiene problems you face with phimosis having had Smegma and the sensitivity issues as well.
But seeing results is probably the greatest reward that one can have and I do urge everyone who has it to keep persevering small steps everyday and the results will come and that will drive you to keep going. For me the hardest part has been retracting whilst erect and whilst I have been able to for a couple months it is still a work in progress and stretching is a daily task I still undertake in the shower each day to loosen the foreskin.
I can safely say having done so it has rapidly improved my own confidence as well as my intimate life and therefore whilst the first step is the hardest and it will take time to see results, if you put your mind to it it is more than possible.
Good luck on your journeys comrades and I will see you on the other side 🫡🫡

2024.05.20 08:35 Etherealmama3 Striking the match, and just cannot stop pouring the gas

TW mention of childhood trauma, fertility; ab*rtion and miscarriage
I (26, F) live with my partner (28 M) of two and a half years and our Irish twins (19 months and 5 months old) we have a long and complicated history to say the least. (10+ years) A timeline for some context would be that we met young, freshman and juniors in high school; we went to different schools, made up, broke up a few times and always kept a very tight friendship in between young spouts of infidelity and overall teen bs. In my youth I experienced many pregnancy complications, which led to some emotional trauma for me. (More context here; one miscarriage was my partner’s when we were young and I didn’t tell him— it wasn’t right, but a confusing time for me) Through everything we always came back to each other. I lived a rougher life with minimal support, while his parents fawned over him constantly, and always had a higher quality of life. (Not yucky rich people, people who worked hard and wanted their child to enjoy the benefits). His parents loved me and I kept him far away from my family’s mess. That is, until I got pregnant.
My partner and I, let’s call him Drew, were not together at the time I conceived our first child. I told him the truth- he wasn’t my only current partner and that I respected him enough to tell him outright immediately; I told him that I love him, and I would chose him, and would consider and ab*rtion even though it would destroy me. I would do it, to earn trust back, and solidify us together again, as I’ve always wanted. He said he could never let me do that, but the fact that I put that out on the table showed how much I valued him in this time. We slowly worked on us, and welcomed our first healthy baby together! It was so beautiful! He meant my family, I slowly realized again why I kept them away, but I put my best foot fwd to build a strong “family” foundation.
I felt myself treading on eggshells emotionally because I knew he was taking on a lot- id moved in with him and his parents for us to save money and get secure, he worked full time, and prepared fully for a baby he wasn’t sure would be his. (Context: we only found out our first child was his recently through paternity, we did not test @ the hospital as the child arrived premature and emotionally we clung together tho feelings may have been unresolved— Drew secretly got a test recently) I’m sure there was plenty he has not said to me as he worked through his emotions and fell so madly in love with our child so quickly, that everything went to the side. ALTHOUGH we were going out once a week, and were the happiest at this point in my opinion. I had no postpartum issues and things were moving in a positive direction!
We begin to find normal life again when BOOM! Baby #2– this time— Drew was thrilled! Bouncing around ecstatic! This pregnancy was ALSO very healthy! Very good! Both made me very sick, but I managed better than many women who get it far far worse than I did. This is where some conflict arrises. At this point with baby number 2, I want to move out. Asap. Obviously he’s breadwinner but long story short, we move out. We’ve now been here 6 months and things have gotten bad as of recent. My family lives very close by, which has caused some conflict. I start to see “expectations” being let down. With ourfirst child I was SO SAD that he didn’t get me flowers, so I’d assumed (stupid I know) that he would get some for me, and it wouldn’t happen, for example.
I feel like I’ve gotten no postpartum care after our second child. He was “exhausted” in the hospital when I was recovering and not paying much attention to me. When we got home, no real physical affection that didn’t feel sexually driven. I can’t explain it? Like he just didn’t care about me anymore? I tried explaining and felt low key bullied out of everything I was feeling, “that’s not what I meant, I’m sorry” I’d believe it, we move on. At a point it began feeling too disrespectful. Mind you, now I’m only a few weeks PP, still bl*eding from birth and really needing to feel loved, but in a different way? More emotional. I’ve only had my last child 14 months prior before his one was born, my body and brain are traumatized to say the least- at this point. Things escalate.
We get into heated arguments that I begin SCREAMING. He gets disrespectful and dismissive which sends me spiraling, and we go back and forth for a few weeks. I will explain, in detail, what I need, and still won’t get it. Or may receive a snarky remark on why I didn’t get treated the way I asked- after a while of this repeating- I finally snap. I put my hands on him. I disgusted myself. I shook in anger and he laughed in a way I’ve never seen. It terrifies me. It’s happened one other time now, which was worse than the first. This ends up happening as a result of him trying to retreat to sleep, where I feel dismissed, and frankly just gross that he leaves me in tears to sleep, that u stomp into the room and continue the argument. He will say things like “I just can’t do this I am too tired” and “I don’t care I’m too tired to care” and I continue to spiral. I emotionally abuse him when I go in and just cannot let it go, but I cannot sleep from the anxiety of an unresolved issue (especially ones where he is very mean and stomps off to sleep, something in my brain is so abandoned in that moment I almost demand him to love me like he claims he does) it is like my fight or flight like I need him to help me calm down because I love him and want to feel safe with him.
More context; this man has NEVER been mean to me. I believe this is a result of him not being watered/appreciated out loud by me, but always needing to “provide something” for me. The issue is the things he does (a lot) don’t need to be done. But the few small things I NEED done are never ever done (example, a clean bottle for the 6am feed before bed to help me a little) instead I wake up to a sink full of bottles and starving baby. Etc. so because I am SO LOW I feel unable to provide that nurture for him. When I beg for that nurture he claims to not have it for me. He doesn’t listen to me, constantly does things I ask him not to, etc. I love him so much. I just feel so hated. I feel like he has never been sorry for things in our past, nor is he sorry about how I feel now, he just wants me to shut up (he doesn’t say that, he doesn’t even yell). More context I do work FT as well as care for our children alongside him. I over extend myself to many friends and am very extroverted so he doesn’t mind me going out a few days a week for an hour or two to relax. In many ways I am SO lucky to have him!!! In others, his words and actions feel so spiteful and resentful. I feel so overwhelmed and like I am giving my all, but have no safe place to fal. I also believe I provide him that same feeling.
Tonight, I drug him out of bed again, I needed him so badly. He was too tired. He ended it with “maybe this is just who you are. Maybe I just don’t love you” then fell asleep. A few minutes later, I woke him quietly after I cried, moved him to th bed where he said “I love you”. And it just hurts.
I feel like I single handedly destroyed my best friend and the love of my life from postpartum anxiety. Please help me get better (I know I need therapy badly I am looking into it immediately) I am so lost. Please help me.

2024.05.20 08:28 International-End660 AITA for beating up my stepfather after he bad mouthed me infront of everyone?

Me (21) and my mother (54) haven't had the best relationship. Ever since my dad left my mom tried her hardest to find a significant other but seeing as if her only child at the moment didn't really enjoy the company of other guys. So every chance I got I spent running off her suitors, that is until one of them (let's call him leaf) stuck for the long run. Me and leaf never had an understanding, he would always try to get my mom to abandon me and it slightly started working overtime. Then leaf brought his son (we'll call him Yoko) and it all went downhill from there. My mom put all of her attention into the new kid and I felt deserted. Now granit I wasn't a good child, I took everything that benefitted me even if it was from my own mother, but I can say over the years I tried to be better for my mom so she could be happy. Fast forward a couple years or so and my mom and leaf had a kid heaven and I wasn't too opposed with since I've always wanted a little sister and like how I told myself I would be my little sister became my light in the family, til my mom and leaf had another child prince. And like all siblings of 4 hevean stuck close to me and prince stuck close to Yoko. Then I started heading down a dark path, smoking, stealing, fighting, the works. And as any mother would my mom was disappointed in me, so I tried therapy. It helped alot and my mom seen that and let me know how proud she was that I was finally growing up by taking me on a mother son trip. Leaf didn't really much approve of it since he thought I was just a bad kid that always lead to trouble. Fast forward to the present on mothers day, the morning started off like every Sunday morning for my family, kids running and playing, good soul food in the air, and 90s hip hop rnb playing on the speaker. My grandma told everybody that she was going to get a couple family members to join in the feast she had prepared so it could all be gone and then it went on from there. My cousin and her husband came into the house cheerful as ever and I was the first person she hugged because she sees me as her baby, after that she and her husband sat down on the couch and started to make conversation with my mom and leaf. My cousin then ask "So how has Trey been doing?" And my mom looks at me and then starts telling her about my grades and how I might flunk. Then leaf chimes in with no one asking "That's what happens when people treat him like a baby, maybe if he wasn't so spoiled he wouldn't act like the way he did." I didn't say anything and just walked off back to my safe haven which was my room, since the kids all thought it was fair that the oldest had his own room dealing with the adults crap. After a couple minutes my cousin ask me to come to the living room again to talk about what's been going on with my life, and I told her about how I've been a bit depressed and really wasn't feeling like the best. My mom tried her best to lift my spirits up but her way was always tough love, I told her that I'm slowly getting there because of my girlfriend who has saved me from wanting to end it early. She told me how that was amazing and that she hoped to meet her one day, and yet again leaf decided to butt in on the conversation. "That's probably why he's failing because of that lil b-word he's talking to." I told him to respectfully stay out of the conversation and he stood up saying "or what". My mom tried to get between us and break up the potential fight telling us to calm down. My stepfather sits back down and continues to talk bad about me and my life infront of my cousin, and I could already tell my cousin was on the verge of hitting him so I told him to shut up for his safety. He gets up again and pushes me on the wall and tells me to say shut up again, so I punched him in the face. Everybody then gets up and tries to break up the fight but my stepfather is already on the floor. Then my mother decides to try beating me up because of me beating on her boyfriend, me being the mommas boy I am of course I didn't hit back so I just kinda let it happen. She tells me I'm a horrible son and that she wishes she never had me and how I should've been aborted. Me being shocked I couldn't do anything but pack my things and I left to go live with my grandpa, my mom then sends me a text message about how I was dead to her and how she wants nothing to do with me. I was heart broken and devastated. I didn't know what to do. But then sum encouraging words from my uncles lifted my spirits up a bit. I still wish I could tell my mom how much she means to me even after she called me a mistake and tell the kids that their big brother hasn't forgotten about them. But most of all I wish I could've punched on my stepfather a little more. AITA?

2024.05.20 08:28 TheSararara Question about headphones for one side deafness

Hey guys! First post here 🙃
I'm really into getting to learn how to be a DJ (Techno specifically) I tried to look online for posts but most of what I found was pretty old discussions..
I will put my questions in numbers I hope that's not rude 🙏🏼
I'm 28 years old and I completely lost my hearing in the right ear 6 months ago. (probably because of a party I was in as the doctors hints)
1) I read that I need headphones with “mono” output or something like that.. I couldn't find any specific models that are recommended, and also what do you guys think, will it really help me get over the lack of stereo hearing that I have now?
2) Also, is it even a good idea to try and be good at DJing with one ear? (not to mention the concerns I have of harming my hearing in the left ear too..) but I'm for sure more awake for hearing loss and trying to keep it safe.
3) And what do you think about monitors? Can't headphones just be enough for me as with speakers I might not get all the sounds anyways.. 👂🔇
4) I'm looking for big speakers (can also rent of course) so I can host some friends and potentially play for them, but do I need both speakers and headphones? (I do have kind of a dream to perform live in clubs also 🙈)
And last question 🙌🏻🙌🏻
5) I also read that a DJ deck with lots of lighting cues can help me with a lot of things if I hear only from one side.. but that's very expensive for me and I'm not even sure if I need that..?
Thanks a lot for taking the time and read Best regards!

🔗Authentic Toy Metal Water Gun


https://preview.redd.it/c61k71pxyi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=05d07654ea4e380ca0957f15d172b65e968402dc
I recently stumbled upon the Toy Uzi Machine Gun, and let me tell you, it certainly caught my attention. At first glance, it looked like a cool, high-powered toy gun but as I took it out of the box, I found it to be quite different from what was advertised. Instead of a high-powered machine gun, it was just a noise-making toy.
Despite this initial disappointment, once I got it into my son's hands, it became an instant hit. The toy made a ton of noise and was incredibly fun for him to play with. We were surprised by how entertaining it was, considering its simplicity. The Uzi Bb Guns really managed to capture the essence of a noisy water gun.
The highlights of this toy are its ease of use and the fun that comes with its unique design. However, not everyone seems to be happy with what it actually delivers. Some customers have reported receiving products that weren't what was advertised. We hope the company addresses these concerns moving forward, as it's definitely an amusing toy in the hands of a child. Overall, it's a good choice if you want something a bit different that still provides some fun.

🔗Adventurous Military Mission Machine Gun Toy for Kids


https://preview.redd.it/wbtura5yyi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9b8ee1cb2cc35140d3f7d1188d98ab98e2cda27d
I recently had a chance to try out this Gun Toys for Boys Combat Military Mission Machine Gun Toy, and it was quite an experience! The first thing I noticed was the awesome LED flashing lights and sound effects it comes equipped with. It's not your ordinary toy gun – it's a fully immersive military mission toy that can keep your kid entertained for hours!
In my hands, the toy felt sturdy and well-made, which is always a good sign. The scope for aiming and the gun's stand to keep it steady were thoughtful additions to the toy. But let's be honest, the highlight of this toy gun is the rotating bullet feature – it just adds that extra oomph to the playtime!
Now, as much as I enjoyed playing with this Gun Toys for Boys Combat Military Mission Machine Gun Toy, I could see that it might not be for everyone. For parents who are concerned about safety or prefer toys that are more low-key, this toy gun might be a bit too intense. And while it's easy to assemble, some kids might find it a bit challenging to put together on their own.
All in all, this Gun Toys for Boys Combat Military Mission Machine Gun Toy is a fascinating addition to any kid's toy collection. It's perfect for those who love an adventure and are looking for something a bit more daring.

🔗WWII Era Walther P.38 Replica Pistol by Denix


https://preview.redd.it/fwvgbmjyyi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0ea0c178e6716707dac2de5ca19c733841734f41
I recently got my hands on the Denix Replicas 1081 Walther P. 38 Automatic Pistol and I have to say, it's a real treat for history enthusiasts! The detailed recreation of this iconic WWII weapon is impressive, and it's not just for show. It's heavier than one might expect, which gives it a solid feel in the hand. The pistol-like click of the slide and the smoothness of the mechanism make it a joy to handle, even if it's not fireable.
However, there are some minor drawbacks, like the fact that the slide doesn't lock back and the magazine can't be removed. But considering this is a replica for display purposes rather than practical use, it's not much of a hindrance. It's a conversation starter and a great way to add a piece of history to your collection.

🔗Nickel Finish Smith and Wesson 1869 Army Revolver Replica


https://preview.redd.it/bodiz0wyyi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f0208f12a4164896e7e2d9d1eca362d676accfc1
As someone who's always been fascinated by the era of the Old West, I couldn't resist trying out this non-firing replica of the 1869 Army Revolver. Featuring a sleek nickel silver finish, this replica brought me back to the iconic "Cowboy" days.
Handling the replica felt like holding a piece of history, with the original's "single action" and "top break" mechanisms. It even had the added bonus of being a non-firing model, which meant I didn't have to worry about accidentally accidentally discharging it.
However, the size and weight of the replica were a bit more challenging to deal with, given that it's a faithful replica of the original. Despite this, I appreciated the fact that it gave me a better understanding of the real gun without the need to purchase one.
All in all, the Denix 1869 Army Revolver replica is a solid choice for anyone looking to step into the boots of a "Cowboy" in the Old West. Just be prepared to handle its size and weight!

🔗Realistic Orange-Green AK47 Plastic Gun for Kids and Adults


https://preview.redd.it/rg8gtjazyi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=140252e37d437c318131ca5d46379e3066696be2
My experience with this pretend AK47 Machine Gun was nothing short of entertaining. The vibrant orange and green colors definitely added a fun touch to any activity, whether it was for a party or just plain old giggles. It was easy to grip and felt lightweight, making it perfect for kids to play with.
One of the standout features of this gun was the shooting sound it made while the trigger was engaged. It was a fun addition to the overall experience and added that extra element of excitement. However, I did notice that the length of the gun was shorter than the real thing, which might be a slight inconvenience for some users.
When it comes to taking care of it, I found the hand-washing instructions to be straightforward and easy to follow. The cold water and mild soap combo seemed effective in maintaining its appearance.
Overall, this pretend AK47 Machine Gun provided a lot of fun and entertainment for both kids and adults. With its vivid colors, exciting sound effects, and easy-to-handle design, it definitely stands out as a popular choice for dress-up activities and playtime.

🔗Safe Outdoor Toy BB Gun for Kids


https://preview.redd.it/5oz7finzyi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f41ab0c91974a2042bcec5f74d1b9d75362d94c4
I recently got my hands on the latest Electronic Rifle Bolt Action from LatestBuy, and let me tell you, it's a whole lot of fun for kids aged 5 and above. This outdoor toy rifle comes with a real gun sound and a bolt action feature that makes it a perfect choice for young hunters.
One of the standout features is the realistic sound it produces, making it an exciting addition to outdoor games. However, the bolt action seemed a bit flimsy, so I would recommend it for smaller kids who can be a bit gentler when using it.
Overall, it's a cool toy that can provide hours of enjoyment for little ones. But, be prepared for some inevitable wear-and-tear because that's just part of the adventure.

🔗Affordable Large-Scale US-Made Military Accessories


https://preview.redd.it/xczbq670zi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2b517281b09cb9d6bb3c3292d28e24f01b3a265c
As someone who's always enjoyed collecting army men, I was excited to try out these BMC Classic MPC Machine Guns in black and silver gray. The size of the weapons, approximately 3 inches long, allows for a perfect balance between detail and playability, which has been an important aspect for me in any army men set I've had.
The set includes 8 black and 8 silver gray M2 Browning. 50 Caliber Air-cooled Machine Guns with removable ammo and mounted on sturdy tripods. It's a nice touch that the ammo is removable, as it adds an extra level of customization to the toys. The black and silver grey colors give the set a distinctive look that stands out from other army men sets I've seen.
However, there could be some room for improvement. The set could benefit from a more sturdy packaging, like a plastic case instead of a polybag with an insert card. This would help protect the guns during transportation and storage, making them a better long-term investment. Additionally, while the size is great for play, it might hinder their display capabilities, as they may not fit perfectly on shelves or display cases.
Overall, these MPC Machine Guns have been a fun addition to my collection and serve as a great example of how well-designed, detailed, and customizable army men can be.

Buyer's Guide

When looking for a cheap automatic gun, there are several factors to consider to ensure that you get the best value for your money. Remember, the price of a gun should not be the only determining factor in your decision.

1. Purpose

Firstly, you need to identify the primary purpose of acquiring an automatic gun. Is it for self-defense, target practice, or maybe even hunting? Your purpose will dictate your choice of firearm, and help determine if you'll need specific features and calibers.

https://preview.redd.it/yclkkin0zi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=47926e98f552ebe63ad5f6a87511f047d5851842

2. Caliber

Considerations for the caliber of the automatic gun are crucial. Lighter calibers such as. 22 LR or. 380 ACP are commonly preferred for their low recoil and cost-effectiveness. However, higher-caliber guns like. 38 Special or 9mm may provide better stopping power.

3. Capacity

The capacity of the gun's magazine plays a significant role in its performance. Higher-capacity magazines mean fewer trips to the range or fewer reloads in the field. While larger capacity may be your preference, it is essential to consider the ease of loading and unloading.

4. Action Type

Automatic guns primarily come in two types of actions: blowback and recoil-operated. Blowback guns are cheaper and easier to maintain, while recoil-operated guns offer better reliability and are generally more accurate. Factors such as durability, ease of use, and personal preference should guide your decision.

https://preview.redd.it/grc6n451zi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2ecafbcd516c8576928ab6a4c3d1b70d972b90b3

5. Brand Reputation

While the price of a gun is a factor, it should not be the only consideration. It is crucial to choose a brand with a strong reputation, as it signifies quality and reliability. Researching brands with a proven track record in manufacturing firearms can be a helpful starting point.

6. After-Sales Support

Ask about after-sales support. It is imperative to know that you can easily obtain replacement parts, repair services, or even additional magazines, should the need arise.

7. Legal and Safety Regulations

Lastly, ensure that the automatic gun you choose complies with all local, state, and federal laws. Additionally, adhere to proper safety guidelines and always store firearms securely, especially in the presence of children.

https://preview.redd.it/pcz07si1zi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c507d3aaa5248a4829eddeceac6ed3c0e0f00c86

Choosing a cheap automatic gun may seem like a daunting task. But by considering these crucial factors, you can make an informed decision that will ensure you get the best value for your money while keeping safety and legal requirements in mind.

2024.05.20 08:24 cruzeiroodosul I want to move abroad but I don't want to leave my cats behind

I come from South America, my husband and I have two adorable cats. They are about 1 and 1 and a half years old, both female and spayed.
Recently, I've been looking into scholarships abroad (Canada and the UK) and I would love to apply to a two year program there. But that would mean taking my husband and two cats with me.
Is it safe to do so? Would the cats adapt to a wildly different climate, routine, and even more the long airplane trip?
I really want to go but I don't want to risk my babies. Any help?

In my quest for a reliable holster to carry my trusty Colt Detective Special, I stumbled upon the Galco Hornet Holster. Made from the finest horsehide and backed by Galco's reputation for quality products, I was eager to test it out.
I was not disappointed. Right from the get-go, the fit and finish of the Hornet were impressive, with even the tiniest details accounted for. The initial fit was snug, but following Galco's break-in procedure resulted in a perfect match. The minimal profile of the belt holster made it ideal for concealed carry.
As a holster for everyday carry, the Hornet truly excelled. It fit my Colt Detective Spl perfectly, as if it were made just for it. The comfort and security it provided were unmatched. I could confidently wear it throughout my daily tasks, knowing my firearm was safe and secure.
The Galco Hornet Holster made a significant difference in my concealed carry routine. Its high-quality materials and exceptional craftsmanship made it a reliable and trustworthy companion. If you're looking for a well-made holster to carry your revolver, look no further than the Galco Hornet.

As a recent convert to Versacarry's Guardian Black Vault (OWB) Holster, I must say I'm impressed. The holster offers a universal fit, which is perfect for those who own multiple handguns and don't want to invest in a separate holster for each one. One of the standout features I noticed is the gun retention - it's secure and reliable without causing any discomfort.
The belt loop slots are another highlight, as they're wide enough to make the holster easy to put on. Plus, the variety of designs available means there's something for everyone - I found one that truly complements my style. Lastly, the affordable price point is a great advantage for those on a budget, like myself.
Of course, no product is perfect, and I did encounter a minor issue with the holster being a bit uncomfortable during the break-in period. However, it's nothing a little patience and persistence can't fix. Overall, I'm thoroughly satisfied with the Guardian Black Vault (OWB) Holster from Versacarry, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a versatile and affordable option for their handguns.

🔗Vedder Holsters - Premium Sig Sauer P365 X-MACRO Holster for Optimal Concealment and Comfort


https://preview.redd.it/gas11s8txi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e05be6a193aed69cf902639f04f4e8fde82b40e7
As a responsible gun owner, I was always on the lookout for the perfect holster that would provide me with the ultimate security and convenience. Recently, I had the pleasure of trying out the Sig Sauer P365 X-Macro w/out Thumb Safety OWB Holster Prodraw by Vedder Holsters.
One of the first things I noticed about this holster was its customization. Each holster is crafted with precision to fit your gun perfectly, allowing for a snug fit that provides security without limiting your movement. The audible click when securing my gun in the holster was a nice touch, providing reassurance that my firearm was safely in its place.
The convenience factor of this holster is excellent, with an adjustable retention feature that allows you to decide how secure you want your holster to be. The paddle design makes it easy to put on and take off, without the need to undo your belt. The minimal bulk and weight make it ideal for everyday carry.
The quality of the holster is evident, with reinforced shells that ensure a convenient one-handed re-holstering experience, perfect for range days. This holster offers the perfect blend of lightweight, sturdy, and secure, perfect for both concealed and open carry situations.

🔗Vedder Holsters Charter Arms Holster Claw Add-On Kit


https://preview.redd.it/l6k1a2ntxi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=efddac673fa38cd3ea31a205aa12d0de4c02160f
Recently, I got my hands on the Vedder Holsters Holster Claw Add-On Kit. Now, I've always appreciated the minimalist yet functional design of Vedder holsters, but with this new addition, I have to say, it's been a game-changer for my daily carry.
One of the standout features of this kit is the ease of installation. It's simple, and once it's in place, you can truly feel the difference it makes in concealing your firearm. The claw really does its job, pushing the grip closer to your body, a huge plus for those of us who like to stay concealed.
However, it's not all sunshine and roses. The one-screw attachment for the claw can be a bit frustrating. It's tough to find that perfect balance of retention and ease of draw. I had to loosen it just a bit to make it work smoothly, but it still leaves a bit of play that I'd prefer weren't there.
Overall, the Holster Claw Add-On Kit is a solid addition to the Vedder Holsters roster. It adds a level of function and style that has quickly become a staple for my daily carry. Despite the odd hiccup or two, the pros of this product far outweigh the cons.

🔗Vedder Holsters Charter Arms Holster Claw Add-On Kit


https://preview.redd.it/cvjosu5uxi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=986a098a004c818d195f2b7b88395259b75521ac
I've been using the Vedder Holster Claw Add-On Kit for a while now, and let me tell you, it's been a game-changer for my everyday carry. With three claws in hand, I was excited to see how they would enhance my experience with my Vedder Lighttuck holsters. The claw system, once properly installed, does an amazing job of pushing the handle of my firearms closer to my body, minimizing the printing, especially for my smaller firearms like a Kahr CW380.
One aspect that could have used some improvement is the lack of a second screw for a more secure attachment, making it difficult to maintain a tight enough grip on my pistol without hindering the draw. Additionally, compatibility with smaller revolvers or light-bearing holsters may not always be consistent, as evident by some of the other reviews I've come across.
Despite these minor cons, I'm pleased with my purchase, and the Vedder Holster Claw Add-On Kit has made my concealed-carry experience even smoother and more comfortable.

🔗Ultimate ComfortTac Belly Band Holster for Quickdraw Access and Concealment


https://preview.redd.it/7kaf2e6uxi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=244b94d9ab559d87673f484ede77705edda877e7
As a reviewer, I've had the chance to try out the ComfortTac Belly Band Holster in my daily life, and I must say, it's been a game-changer. The holster is designed for deep concealment, and its quickdraw access system allows me to draw my weapon in one smooth motion. The retention strap with the deep concealment buckle is a standout feature that ensures my gun stays secure in its place.
One of the things I appreciate most about this holster is its versatility. It fits a variety of gun sizes, making it perfect for those who own multiple firearms. The holster is also versatile enough to be worn in most positions, which means I can use it both under and over clothing. The perforated holes promote less sweating, and the stretchy elastic adjusts to any body type, making it comfortable to wear for extended periods.
However, there are a couple of cons I've encountered while using this holster. The built-in pocket is a great feature, but it could be more secure and prevent accidental exposure. Additionally, the removable magazine pouch is handy for quick access to spare rounds, but it can be a bit difficult to use with larger caliber magazines.
Overall, the ComfortTac Belly Band Holster is an excellent option for those seeking a comfortable, versatile, and secure way to carry their firearms. With its deep concealment, quickdraw access, and custom fit options, it's no wonder why it's a top-selling holster on the market.

🔗Small of Back Holster for Concealed Carry


https://preview.redd.it/ncdf49luxi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=54c45e5ac7ecaaea62ddce760a8ffc935527341d
As a fellow gun enthusiast, I've been in search of the perfect concealed carry holster for quite some time. That is until I stumbled upon the Palm Out Draw Small of Back Holster by Dara Holsters. This holster is nothing short of a game-changer for all those struggling to find the right one.
What stood out to me was the holster's versatility. Despite my body's particular needs, this holster managed to secure my gun in a comfortable position without any hassle. The angle and design of the holster also ensured that the grip was always in reach and the trigger safely covered. It's clear that Dara Holsters put a lot of thought into the positioning of the pistol, making it easier to draw and maintain a balanced stance.
However, no product is perfect, and I did find one minor drawback. The clip that holds the holster to my belt was quite stiff, making removing it at the end of the day slightly more difficult. But that doesn't take away from the holster's overall functionality and the fantastic job it does at concealing my weapon.
In conclusion, the Palm Out Draw Small of Back Holster by Dara Holsters proved to be an excellent investment. It's not only comfortable and efficient in its job, but its construction also highlights the company's commitment to quality and attention to detail. It may have a bit of a learning curve to get the perfect fit, but once you do, it's smooth sailing. I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a dependable concealed carry holster.

One of the best features of this holster was its ability to be worn cross-draw style, which I found to be a great option when spending time in the car.
However, there was a bit of a downside. The snug fit that made me feel secure also made it a bit challenging to remove my handgun from the holster. I occasionally had to use extra force to get it out, which might not be ideal for some.

I recently purchased the Charter Arms Custom Kydex Holster for my Charter Arms Undercover 38 Special and was quite impressed with how well it fits my gun.

Quick long story cut short… picked it up this morning from the local pharmacy and the lady mentions how the packaging just gets fancier and fancier, I mentioned that it’s in a glass jar and she wanted to look so she lifted the cover off the box and instantly says woahhh that’s strong and immediately closes it 😂😂😂 I was instantly excited and couldn’t wait to get home ! About this amazing strain…. Opening this packaging knowing how safe it’s been stored in the uv protected amber glass jar surrounded by the foam makes me appreciate the growers taking pride in their products showcasing really cool packaging ! Lifting that lid I was greeted with an amazing smell that reminds me of strawberry clouds mixed with straight gas 🔥🔥🔥 peaking inside and the budz look extra frosty and greeeen, they feel squishy but spring back, in my opinion they are perfect. When you crack the budz they are glittering on the inside and grinds exceptional ! Effects wise I feel very euphoric and relaxed with the back of my eyes feeling really heavy 👌👌 With the flavour it is very sweet and definitely has that strawberry dough coming through I’ve never had anything like this taste it’s beautiful !

2024.05.20 08:09 ObviousPenalty1048 Dog was acting strange

Hey! So, a few weeks ago my wife and me had to take care of a dog because the owners went to holiday for 2 days. It is now the 2nd time the dog was with us. When my wife was here, everything was good. The dog was very calm and was sleeping a lot. When she left me alone with the dog and I left sometimes our living room into the kitchen, he went crazy and howling and barking. So I got back, calmed him but he didn’t stop and was always looking behind me. Sometimes even getting up and checking the kitchen, looking outside the window or checking the bathroom, which is right next to the kitchen. Then, after 10 minutes, he is silent again. This happened many times. I thought it was because of the weather because from the living room you can see some dark clouds outsides and he was looking behind me to the window. But our bathroom doesn’t have any windows and he checked the bathroom several times. Sometimes after that situation he began with this behaviour even when I was sitting next to him.
Our Appartement is now 496 years old, it belonged to a church before and it is made of stone and wood. I personally don’t think that here any negative energy resides. You could hear every move someone is doing, even if you only change the position when you sleep. No sounds on the attic, no scary feeling in the (architectural very nice gothic) basement, which is much older than 500 years. Actually we sleep better than in any house before and feel super safe.
I know animals reacts to all kind of stuff, but would you be worried about that? We already had some other dogs and cats here and they were all very very curious but never so nervous. Actually they were too curious and even the owners were surprised that they are like this.
