3 weeks after release we finally got the first patch,.... and it is what I have expected to be honest.
No game changing improvements so far and even though MFG claim more than 200 fixes we only got around 50 in the patch notes. I understand that devs will not write down each little thing they have fixed/changed but we are missing at least 150 notes here. This raises the question, was there anything else done in this patch or only those 50ish things were fixed/changed?
And even more or less easy things were not implemented in this patch so far. Toggle ADS? Sprint/Hold breath on the same key? Visible faction member on compass?
Nobody was expecting that GZW would run 144 frames on ultra on medium GPUs and the majority of players understand, performance will take a lot of time. There have been some realistic requests from the community from launch day and MFG successfully ignored it.
On top of that, now we have a broken quest (crashed plane) and no feedback from MFG that they are working on a hotfix. No matter how hard and difficult it might be but this kind of issues (broken things after patch) have to be fixed the next day at latest. If a patch breaks anything which was workig before, this has the highest priority to be fixed.
We now have the ability to remap some controls BUT nobody came up with an idea what to do if you want to delete that key. It is not possible,... if you set a 2nd key for the big map, there is no way to delete this key (ESC, DEL, press again the same key did not work). The only thing you can do is restore do default. There is on problem, "restore to default" restores EVERYTHING to default (graphics, sensitivity and so on). Yes my friend,.... you have spent time to find the perfect graphic settings and the right sensitivity and some other settings,... then you want to remap a key and pressed something wrong,.... boom,.... restore everything to default and do it all over again.
On more weird thing is,.... they changed the texture resolution setting,.... now you can choose low, medium or auto (whatever the hell auto is) but no mention in the patch notes. Why is this the case? Is this supposed to be some kind of sneaky change that not much players should know about? Why no explanation what "auto" does in relation to VRAM size. If I have to play GZW on low textures because I was to cheap to buy a GPU with more than 8 GB VRAM I can accept this but I want to know! MFG did not update the min. system requirements on steam shop-page so far but recommended is still RTX 3070 TI. So,.... will be 8 GB VRAM enough or not?
After patch 1 character wipe cooldown was changed to 1 week. Why? What is the reason behind this? I did not see that anybody asked for it. If the game was in a stable state, 1 week cooldown is ok. But at the current state where people lose gear and can not loot their bodies? Nobody asked for it and it is not a rational change regarding the state of the game at the moment. Then there is only one explanation: This is the way MFG tells us to buy/upgrade the bigger pack.
There are countless posts regarding the helicopter issue and that this has to be improved in any way. Surprise, surprise,.... what did they changed about it? Nothing! Just adding more helicopters will solve this problem but will hurt server perfomance. If there was only some other way to imporve this,.... how about showing us the final destination of the helicopter? How about having a helicopter not being exclusive and being able to fly to more than only 1 LZ? How about having a queue and you would see how long it will take until you get your heli? Where there is a will there is a way!
Sever lag Right now it seems, server lag can only be improved by having less people on a server. For PVP server this is not a solution at all but what about PVE server? Why there need to be ALL 3 factions at the same time on a PVE server? Why not reducing it to 2 factions or in extreme cases only 1 faction? This would improve server perfomance and also make some quests better doable.
Do not get me wrong here, I am not ranting agaist the devs at MFG but I am criticising people at MFG who have decision making positions in this company. Just the fact that GZW was at least released 6 months too early even for Early Access was the fist bad decision. But once this decision was made - for whatever reason - you know as a game studio there will be pressure on you. If you can not handle that pressure and deliver fixes and patches very quick then DO NOT release that early!
Having said that, I do enjoy the game and the great visuals but my main concern is, GZW will die due to low player count. Player count = potential for furhter sales. If player count further decreases it might be kind of hard to see potential in furhter sales and revenue for the studio/publisher. All-time-peak 70k and yesterday 15k players. Game development is a serious business and studios want to earn money from it. This is logical and fully legit. There is one problem, studios have to invest money before and to check indicators (sold copies, player count and so on) to find out whether it is going to be a profit at the end of the line or not. When it comes to money, people and companies are not willing to take big risks and if the trend is going downside there is not much reason to put more money into a project.

Games being released buggy and unfinished, everything having dlc that cost as much as the base game, extra download able content, pay to win items, games being 100% online cosmetic items that do fuck all but cost a fortune.
Some of these things are fine in moderation or if it goes with the style of game but it's EVERY SINGLE FUCKING GAME!
Train simulator for example has over $2000 worth of dlc! That's fucked up.
GTA 5 is a relatively short game with no extras whatsoever, most of the game is online which is unplayable because of idiots that ruin it for you by blowing you up the second you log on or just fucking you about in lobbies.
Pokemon go, yes it's free to play but it's hard for new players to get into as you need so much money for some events and coins which is very difficult for rural players.
Fifa, being the exact same game every year just with different skins and slightly better graphics but somehow people still pay for it.
And for a game to have most of these features is insane. Like what's the point in ingame currency IF YOU CANT MAKE THE MONEY IN GAME! You always have to pay for it so why even have in game money?
Open world games are barely games, it's just a whole host of side quests and mini games that are never ending. Like the witcher 3 for example. I've had that game since lock down and I tried my best to do everything on the map but it just ended up being mind numbing grinding which I'm sure some people like but I don't and it's a big part of what's on the map. Assasians creed and fall out are other good examples of this.
Mobile games are pretty bad. Constant ads, pay for everything or be constantly behind everyone else with no hope for any decent progression and being bombarded with notifications to log in every day or you loose your streak even though there's no worth while price for it.
It's all just a big money grab which I get, they need money, but why pay over $100 to pre order a game that you get later than promised and is so full of bugs it's unplayable.
Yes some bugs are always going to happen, yes schedules change, but it's honestly every single game.
I miss the days of completed games being released, you get the entirety of the game, for one price and everyone had to put in the same effort to get the fancy end game items rather than just buying them online.
I know, this is the way the world is now. Completing the story and having some post game stuff was always fun in pokemon but now completing the main story isn't enough, you've gotta complete hours of post game "content" which is usually online stuff or boring grinding or dlc that you need to pay a fortune for.
Absolutely keep these features, in some game, not all of them in every game. Make more offline content for those that don't like playing online and for the love of all that is holy, complete a game before its released, fuck your corporate deadlines, I'd rather wait for a game I can actually play and enjoy.
And finally some games need to know when to die like world of warcraft or Minecraft. The spaghetti code on these games is insane making it very hard for them to add something new in the game without fucking up something old. I would happily pay monthly for wow and Minecraft actually cared about their customers to make their games better.
And finally LISTEN TO YOUR CUSTOMERS. Do they not do any research anymore? Like the entire community asked for this one very specific thing and you added a very shitty knock off version that kinda resembles it.
The whole industry just infuriates me right now.

Hey everyone,
Loving Merge Cakes! It's sort of an addictive idle game where you merge sweets to unlock new recipes and grow your bakery. Just unlocked the Vanilla Cupcake, and it's super fun! 🧁
Quick Tips:

• Controls: Drag and release to move sweets.
• Gameplay: Merge sweets, unlock recipes, earn coins. New sweets appear every 10 seconds or click to speed up.
• Pro Tip: Use the shop to buy sweets and unlock recipes faster, but prices increase with each purchase. 🥲

I recommend trying it out on OnlineGames.io. Also wonder who else is playing? What's your favorite recipe so far? Tell me please.
Happy merging! 🍬🍰

I spent ages grinding the atoms to give me enough and just as I got enough, they pulled it from the shop.
I decided to buy the enclave turret set which was on offer last week, so my balance dipped again.
I've got about 1200 atoms now and the original price was 1500.
I know I can request through bethesda support, but i dont know what the price would be, as im unsure if the polished turret set would be taken off the total price (with it being the same set as in the bundle but looks different).
I'd also hope for it to hit the shop with a discount, so i dont grind another few hundred atoms just to pay through support to have it reduced a short time later.
Is there any way to determine when it might come back to the shop?

Like many of you, my main website was hit by last September Google HCU. Because of this, I did not meet the conditions to be accepted by most popular Ad networks, even Monumetric.
While waiting to see if my site would recover from this, I tried to find an alternative to Ad Networks, and end up building my own custom solution, using Amazon.
I first created my own ad trying to promote some Amazon products using my Amazon affiliate ID, so when user click on the ad and buy the product, I earn a commission.
Using best seller categories
Trying to optimize and automate the process, I built a separate tool from the website to scrape Amazon and create the ads.
Amazon provide the best sellers of each category, so the tool would:

1. Scrape each Amazon best sellers category and select 5 of them.
2. Create different ads for each Amazon product, still using my Amazon affiliate ID.
3. Display the ads on my website, using a js script.
4. Analyze the performance of each ads, to display the best of them.

Thanks to this, I was already able to earn almost the same amount of what I was used to earn using Google AdSense.
If this was already working correctly, I decided to push further more the development and tried to boost my earnings.
Using Amazon deals
In a different place on Amazon, there are the best "today's deals". So I modified the tool again to use these best deals, as we all know that people are more likely to buy a product with a promotion:

1. Instead of scraping Amazon once in a while, I found an API to be able to get the best deals every day, to keep the deals fresh.
2. Every hour, the tool delete expired deals if there is any.
3. I changed the design of ads, to make users notice there is an ongoing limited deal on this product.

Trying to target the world
One thing was missing using this solution, I always displayed ads corresponding to Amazon US products. If my visitors come mainly from the US, I still have some from UK, Canada, and Europe.
To target these other countries, I needed 2 things:

1. Knowing where my visitors come from in real time
2. Create and display ads of different Amazon countries.

2 was easy to resolve as I only needed to repeat the process using the same API, but with different parameters.
1 was way more complicated. I finally found that using a CDN, like Cloudflare, the visitor country is specified in a HTTP header. Then I only needed to parse the HTTP headers on every new visit, determine the user country and display the appropriate ads.
Results
If it's not easy for me to clearly know what are my RPM using this solution, as my site has been decimated by the last Google updates, I estimate my RPM between $5 and $10. Which is already great.
But I'm sure there are many improvements I can make, and I will definetely continue to work on this.
One improvement is to get more data, as the tool analyze the performance of each ad, the more data the tool have, the better it will select ads.
Therefore I've publish this new project, Affimate .io. I've already got a few users, which seem to enjoy the product (each user specify its own Amazon Affiliate ID to earn commissions). As all of this cost something, server rent, API costs and so on, I can't make it free and decided to use a subscription-based model.

• Is there anything I can improve according to you?
• For now I only use Amazon, any other famous online store with an affiliate program you know about?
• Any feedback on this?

Thanks for reading.

I'm actually so done with this life, I honestly have a terrible daily routine and regardless of what I do to try and make myself successful or invest time into something that'll benefit me in the future, it always fails in some way.
Everyday, I wake up, I masturbate, I get up after 15-20 minutes of trying to sleep and rolling around in bed. Then I just grab my tablet and just go back to my bed, lie down and just watch YouTube and play games all day. I don't have the energy for anything else, I can't do anything productive. I keep also getting constantly dragged down and critized because of toxic family, regardless of what I do I always have a level of uncomfort and suffering in some way.
The escape I found is to use my tablet or computer all day, it's not anything productive I do but it's the only way to even bare with this slightly, and masturbating a ton is just another escape from reality.
I just want this to end in some way, I wanted to make money online to set myself free from toxic family. But I'm not at the legal age and I'm not even sure if I'll make it to age 18 (Age 15 right now)
I'm so tired and burnt out from constantly being hated so much, my dad tried to kill me a few years ago. I have no appetite and I struggle to eat anything, it's constantly suffering I experience.
My passion is to mainly make games, but when I did I had a very small amount of people play them and had no real profit made which I also want and need, since I wanna make money from my games and take long breaks if I want to, I don't want to experience constantly having to work. I just wanna be able to work when I want, do something I want and only when I want. I wanna make a lot of money and have so much I can buy whatever I want whenever, I wanna make it legit and legally too.
Without all these things, my life is pure suffering with no clear future, I can dream of being so happy once I get all these things but I don't know if I can and how long it'll take.

TL:DR:
Ex wife got in a fight with my now girlfriend, and blames her for running our marriage. My ex wife during the divorce made a big deal about "she doesn't care if I date in the future as long as it's not her" and "she doesn't want her kids around people like her". Me and my girlfriend have been dating for 8 months now and is around my kids often enough I feel like I am obligated to tell my ex-wife, since I would want the same if she was dating someone seriously as well.
Full post:
My ex and wife and I got divorced last year separated 1.5 years. We have two kids together under the age of five. 10 months ago I started dating my girlfriend (27F) a friend I've known for 3 years we worked at the same company and were apart of the friend group from work. I never any romantic feelings or thoughts towards her until our first "date". Our first date happened because one night we were supposed to go out with a group of friends to shoot pool and everyone but us ended up bailing. While shooting pool we were talking and things started to click between us and we realized we had alot in common. Over the next few months we went on a few dates and have now Ben dating for 8 months.
My ex wife blames her for ruining our marriage saying that something was going on between us when we used to work together. My ex can't come to terns with the fact our marriage had been over before I even got that job or met my now girlfriend. My ex is the type that can't admit or see any flaws in herself.
How do I tell her I am dating my girlfriend?
I am worried that she will try to use my kids as weapons to hurt me. We have a good co-parenting relationship right now with 50/50 custody.
Background: My ex wife and I have been divorced for a year and separated for two. We were married for 5 years. We have two kids together under 5. Before we got married she was active, interested in my hobbies, we would spend time together going to social events (game nights at friends or craft fairs) and I enjoyed being with someone who was interested in me and my hobbies as well as being able to reciprocate with hers.The relationship felt truly 50/50 when it came to giving each other what we needed.
However, the month after we got married a switch flipped in her and she completely changed. It was like I was married to a completely different person. She became very self centered and cared more about keeping up the appearance of a happy marriage then actually having one with me. Over the next two years I tried to tell myself it will get better and was exhausting my self emotionally and physically trying to keep her happy, hoping that it would eventually turn back into what we had before we got married.
I'll admit I ignored red flags when we were dating the biggest being about having kids. I told her I wanted to be financially stable and be emotionally ready before we had kids. She would jokingly make a comment about "my mom's glad we are getting married because she was going to buy me sperm for my 30th birthday if I wasn't married"
During the first two years, she didn't work and I paid for her to get her masters degree online. I was working full time and going to school part time. During this time she would expect me to go to work, come home cook her dinner, do the chores and do my school work as well. She would just sit on the couch and watch tv.
After she got her masters she came to me and told me she stopped taking her birth control and wanted a baby now. I told her I wasn't ready and she gave me the ultimatum of we get pregnant or she is leaving. In hind sight I should have walked away then, but my insecurities got the better of me and we got pregnant. Fast foward a year and she tells me she wants another kid. I tell her I don't want another one right now and I'm still trying to get adjusted to having our daughter. A month later we find out she is pregnant.....(I would later find out that she had told our neighbor she stopped taking her birth control so she can get pregnant).
After being "forced" (used loosely because I did give in) into having our daughter and being tricked into having our son, I'd had enough. I asked for a divorce. She wanted to go to couples therapy so she could "say we tried", during couples therapy she refused to work on herself stating "I like who I am, and I'm not changing". At that point I'd completely given up and filed for divorce.
How my girlfriend got involved in this....one night I was hosting game night (this was during the time of the couples therapy) and my now girlfriend got into an argument with my ex about how I'm expected to do everything around the house and take care if the kids. Which ended up with her calling my ex a bad mother because the baby woke up and was crying and my ex ignored the kid to keep arguing. (I was not in the house during this argument so not sure what was said or how it started, me and a few of the guys had went on a snack run).
During the divorce she would make comments about my now girlfriend saying things like "I know she likes you and she is the reason your leaving" and "I don't care if you date again as long as it's not her"
I fought and got 50/50 custody because I believe that our kids deserve both parents in their lives and I love my kids dearly.
Currently I have a good income and just bought a house. My ex is jealous of this fact and has already started saying passive aggressive comments. I'm not sure how she will take me dating again and possibly marring the girl she blames for running out marriage.

I feel shit about my routine and wanted to get it off my chest. Nobody knows my routine really and I kinda keep it to myself cause I’m ashamed.
I wake up, the first thing I want is something buttery and crunchy so I go to the shop and buy 3 croissants, followed by 2-3 energy drinks. Throughout the morning I’ll watch YouTube and try and kick my brain into gear.
By lunchtime I’ve given up on that and decide I need a dose of THC and some video games. This usually means I’ll dump a shot glass of oil onto something vaguely healthy and then follow it up with plenty of carbs (whatever is reduced in the shop). Then watch YouTube until it kicks in.
By the time I’ve come around it’s about dinner time so yes… time for more THC. Usually pasta and pesto (way too much of it) with more oil.
Then before I know it, it’s 9pm and I want to sleep.
Sometimes I go to the pub or buy beers (usually every 2 days) and I sit there by myself. It’s sad but it’s the only time I really socialise, with the bartenders. I like them but I wish it didn’t have to involve alcohol.
I’m wasting my life whilst I see the world go by without me. I have dreams but I don’t think I’m ever going to achieve them.
I’m hugely introverted or I think this is what weed is doing to me. I’ve been consuming it for 13 years now, I’m not a kid anymore and it being in my adult life makes me sad. I have quit periodically but life just doesn’t feel that good without it.
I hate how people don’t see marijuana addiction as a terrible thing, it is debilitating. Every time I go to get help I just hear a chorus of “it’s not addictive” or “weed is ok, at least it’s not alcohol” 🤔

La Fitness Pompano Beach They have a lot of serious issues going on there .
Try and follow this one as it involves, racism, discrimination, anti Semitism,homophobia, slander, defamation, falsifying employment documents
Ok , so LA Fitness Pompano Beach , Florida 1000 north federal highway 33062
The sales manager there for the sake of legalities will only be referred to by her first name which is witch
LA fitness has already fired her once before then they bought her back in September of2021
Reason for termination is unclear but was said to be discrimination against African Americans, Gays/ LGBTQ community and making anti semetic remarks but nobody knows for sure what the reason was for here termination, but it had ti be bad enough for them to hire her , Luis Maio one of her former sales his said “ I heard it was for embezzlement “ if that’s even true , since when did embezzlement become a re- hirable offense???????? ( again no one knows its that’s true except for the higher ups at LA Fitness
On one night in November of 2021 , a disabled employee who just happened to be a part of the LGBTQ community, came into work his regular closing shift 6 pm to 11 pm,
He was immediately summoned to a woman he did not even technically report to
The Witch/ dark haired sales manager who proceeded to tell him
“ oh you know Dante has been missing from the front desk for 10 minutes now, the disabled employee responded “ I’m sure he’s in the gym , maybe just using the restroom, “
Sales Manager the Witch response was:
“ oh come on now James , you know how THEY are ( referring to African American people in general) he’s missing in action by now he’s probably already home counting his welfare and food stamps balance” she continues “ you and I weren’t raised that way , we were bought up differently “ the disabled employee, proceeded to tell her “ I’m sure he’s in the gym and I’ll find him”, however you and I are nothing alike you are a racist and as soon as I find Dante, I’m reporting you ( sales manager ) to Human Resources “
The Witch didn’t care as she was just about to have this young kid fired for in her words “ time fraud”
In reality he was simply in the gym translating another employees COVID results tests from English to Creole!!!!
So the Witch comes running up to the front desk attempting to ask Dante “ where did you go”?
Mind you he was not even gone from the front desk but 6 minutes I checked the video footage!!!
Once I told her he was assisting another employee translating her COVID results test from English to Creole, she went back to her cubicle we warned Dante she had her finger on the phone and about to have you fired!!
And we proceeded to tell him that the witch said; you “ were probably missing in action already home counting his food stamps and welfare checks”!! Imagine how he must have felt extremely awful we proceeded to contact Human Resources and reported her to them snot her racist remarks.
They said “ oh we will look into it”
Did they ??? No, never !!!!
They allow her to behave like this and it’s been going on for years now !!
Mind you a good percentage of the members that pay her paychecks are African American or of Caribbean descent , in addition many of the members are of the LGBTQ community!!!
Obviously they are not aware of the racism there because if I we’re African American/ Cary, I’d cancel my membership and bring my business to any other gym besides LA Fitness but since they don’t know any of this nor do any members of the LGBTQ community which also many of the members there also identify as LGBTQ !!
So the front desk person who also happens to be of LGBTQ community, and identifies as such ,
Sales Manager The Witch decided she was going to send slanderous/ defamatory emails in retaliation for the front desk guy ,James , to Human Resources, all of which his front desk boss Frank went to Sales Manager The Witch on THREE separate times begging her and telling her to “ stop sending slanderous/ defamatory emails about my employee James who happens to be disabled, he additionally told her that Human Resources, copied Operations Manager Frank on her emails he to sales manager The Witch
Look , I reviewed the cameras each time and everything you’re saying in you’re emails are not in synch with my front desk video footage , stop this, it’s illegal”
Her response was:
“ no I’m not stopping until he’s gone “!!!!
Then she refused to speak to James in excess of 60 days!! James notified HR again that this was a very dangerous situation since on July 12, 2022 James was threatened to be “ SHOT “ by s kid Who was banned from the gym for brandishing a gun and threatening some minors to shoot them too!! Including kids in the kids club!!! (?yes if you have children , that gym is not safe , nor is the kids club!!’
James immediately recognized the guy ( Damien) and said can I see you’re I’d or scan in for me. Obviously he knew he was banned so James said you have to leave , that’s when he said “ I k ow what you drive you know how I roll and that I’m packing!!!
Earlier in that same Day ,Area Manager Robert attempted to “ Terminate “ James because he felt Joni and him could not get along!!
James said ok , I have no disciplinary action, and you want to fire me for HER behavior, go ahead. So we are going from a disabled very reliable employee being completely employed to terminated, james apparently told Robert fire me now or I’m going back to the front desk as it looks busy up there . Area Manager Robert said ok so you think you can work with her, his response was yes, but you need to at least attempt to correct her issues or at least make this a non hostile work environment..
He did nothing, James went back to work and that was the end of that , for now .
Later that same week a janitor went to Sakes Manager The Witch who also has a heart condition he asked her “ I need to go home for 10 minutes to get my nitroglycerin pills for my heart, I live close I’ll be right back less than 10 minutes “!!!
Sales Manager the witch told the janitor
“ you’re heart problem is not my problem, no you stay here and mop the floors!!”
Imagine if he had a heart attack after She denied him to go retrieve his medication he so desperately needed!!????
Then on another occasion another Janitor came to James fir some advice, Donna , apparently told James or asked James what should I do , they are asking all of us to lie in our depositions a pot a guy who seriously injured his leg in the gym due to LA Fitness being negligent for not fixing the leak in the basketball court !!!
Donna asked James “ what should I do because they want me to lie for them ( La ft)
James told her just tell the real truth because lying in a deposition could come with some legal problems for you and the others “ like contempt of court !!
On August 11,2022, James had a slip and fall seriously damaging his right shoulder as the members were getting tired of corporate turning off all the lights in the gym including the locker rooms 15 minutes before they even closed the gym!!
Members were very upset , sometimes they had started leaving the showers running, and had the shower curtains closed , leading anyone that closed the gym that there were people still taking showers in there in the dark , but out of retaliation, they just thought they could cause a flood.
I do know, on that night as James was closing the gym he himself had a serious fall on the wet locker room floor , was laying in a pool of water in the dark for over 30 minutes luckily he had his phone , called 911 they eventually got there,
There are no slip proof mats anywhere in that gym!!
When the paramedics got there they had to stabilize james with the neck brace and try to move him so they could treat him somewhere in the gym where there was lights, james said I believe the lobby stays lit until like midnight, but no that was not true either because in the lobby , as they were checking his vitals , the entire lobby goes pitch black, that’s when they realized the lights were being turned off remotely!!
So the paramedics said let’s get him into the ambulance where we can at least treat him . Do paramedics got him in the ambulance, transferred him to Imperial Point Hospital where they did a lot of scans and XRay on his head neck , shoulder and spine.
James was sent home the next day from the emergency hospital with only 3 days of bedrest, and workers comp immediately started physical therapy 4 times a week and had him seeing an orthopedic surgeon, who decided it was ok for James to go back to work on light duty . Provided LA Fitness follow his suggestion of light duty only and get a proper chair . So james was going to all of these physical therapy sessions, and de visits and still going into work! On November , 15, james went into work , and there was the witches boss , Useless was behind the front desk they were instructed by someone to find a way to terminate James because “ we just want him gone” so they enlisted the help of this young African American Girl Briana , and told her “ we need you to say you saw James do something wrong because we have no legal grounds to fire him we just want him gone, so being a young girl that was told she had to do this or lose her job , she had no choice but to go along with them . Mind you this was November 15th 2022 Yet they had already drawn up these falsified documents on November 11, 2022 They never even told the poor girl that what she was doing was illegal, they just used Jett as a scapegoat, then Fired Her the vey next day and Fired James via the telephone while he was still undergoing physical therapy and going to the orthopedic surgeon for his injuries!!!
James contacted the EEOC , which is overseen by the Department Of Justice, they did their own investigation and obviously after months of investigation they found grounds enough to issue James a “ Right to sue” .as Karma always intervenes, he was assigned the Witches favorite color Attorney, a senior Trial attorney who just happened to be a Harvard Educated Black woman!!!
James is now currently being represented by a major law firm for the defamation slander , wrongful Ty. And La Fitness failure to act responsibly when James was emailing HR begging them to at least attempt to fix the situation with Sales Manager aka the witch, as she was refusing to speak to him at all , even leaving out the back door just so she didn’t have to say anything like a simple “ good night” !!’ James was the only one who had access to the keys to the safest room in the building , in the event off an active shooting , yet the witch was not speaking to him, so that made the situation even more dangerous as there are also children in the kids club..
So then since James Workers comp case had nothing to do with all of the slander , defamation and wrongful termination, LA Fitness again attempted to mess up this disabled person’s life even more by offering him some extremely low amount of money and one of the stipulations was “ if James accepts this settlement ( and not for what he went through injury wise it was very low ) he would agree to withdraw his Labor Claim and not sue them for them making racist remaryagainsr blacks ( mind you James is white) and he said
“ no way I’m not accepting any amount and just forget about everything they did to me and the way they treat their employees, their racist remarks against Jews , Blacks, and Gays. ! He refused to accept hush money , told the workers comp lawyer “ well I guess you worked on this case for a year , for nothing , if you can’t have the verbiage removed , then you wasted you’re time hence you won’t get paid”
The very next day the Workers comp Attorney sent an email to his Labor Attorney which james by law had to be copied on , saying “ Dear Attorney ( fill in the blank) please tell me word for word which verbiage you would like carved out of his settlement offer “
The other Attorney responded “ everything pertaining to James’s Labor claim with the EEOC and DOJ)
The very next day .,, the settlement letter was amended and the verbiage that Jane’s and his attorney wanted removed was, funny how it was done so quickly, mind you they told James “ they will not carve out any verbiage for you “ hmmmm well they did.
So. If you’re giving LA Fitness you’re business , and you’re ok with giving them your money if you’re a person of color, gay, Jewish or anyone else they hate , then basically you’re allowing this to continue, because Joni is still there doing the same things
Lastly , like one week before they fired James he was like a hero to them for two reasons, 1 because he stayed at that gym with BSO when a woman was abducted in the Pompano La Fitness parking lot, she was thrown into her trunk and driven to somewhere on Palm Aire like a storage unit. James stayed with BSO until 2:30 am in the gym assisting 12 BSO officers!!Then that same week , on James shift, they did a corporate visit and got extremely high scores for greetings, overall an excellent visit , that his boss brought to his attention, then the very next week they fired him for “ Poor Job performance “ !!!!!!!! Kinda unbelievable, apparently they also didn’t realize that falsification of termination or any employment records was illegal and whoever’s names are on those papers , is facing criminal charges.
James happened to run into the girl they used as their scapegoat and had her lie fir them so they could at least have something on him to terminate him, what they didn’t think about the highly unlikely chances The girl they had lie for them and James would ever cross paths , well they did in a store in Pompano City Place while shopping !
Bottom line , James wants this to go to court in front of a judge trial , jury and MEDIA, he’d rather NOT settle , he wants Everyone to know what happened to him Plus how they treat their employees.
After plenty of discussions with numerous legal entities and Attorneys, they all agree that IF LA Firness consulted with their in house attorneys, , they would have NEVER advised them to convict a story and have another employee or employees to lie and falsify documents . La Fitness has options like for example take the time have a sit down meeting and figure out why the witch hated James, then simply say , ok if you hate him and now he definitely hates you , , Witch you live in Boca, James you live in Oaklsnd Park, would either of you consider the option of transferring??
But they Never employed any type of conflict resolution, which is commonplace in most ethical workplaces , but remember, this is LA Fitness, they have no logic or do not know how to resolve easily resolvable situations.
As consumers you HAVE a right to know what is going on behind the scenes at any business you give you’re hard earned money to, imagine if it was you’re child the Witch accused the young kid wiring the front desk of being on food stamps and welfare, even worse imaging if they had asked you’re son or daughter to lie for them and not even tell you’re child or loved one what the legal consequences were for making falsified statements or signing falsified employment documents which were turned over to the Department of Labor!! That’s an entire different legal situation they put themselves into . They ( La fitness ) thought “ oh what are the chances of them running into each other?” Well they did
Copy of that he text from the girl to James tye one they had lie for them then fired her the next day!!!

My dog has had this toy for a few years now its called a (Squeakybeasties cocoa the chameleon dog toy) but I can't find anywhere to buy a new one online. hers is kinda ripped in half. If anyone could find it that would be nice.

So basically we started in the second week of march. We matched on a dating app, which is also a very long coz we matched in Oct 2023 but didn't have a convo till Feb last week. So things were way too good in the 1st month. We use to meet like twice or thrice a week. He use to text me a lot. He use to be nice to be and really seemed in love while talking to me. Everything was great, until the 3rd week of April. That's when shit started going downhill. He's currently a Engineering (Computer Science), and all of his practical exams started from the 3rd week of April, also his college is way too far from his place to travelling always makes him tired. So he started seeming very uninterested. It use to feel like he's forcefully talking to me, and he even started being a bit rude. He stopped doing the little things he use to like sending me a selfie after he takes a shower (lmao not a nude but he looks way too adorable in wet hairs so he use to always send me a selfie of his face after shower), complementing me when I send my pictures, sending memes or reels. And the thing that pisses me is ki Ig he still talks to his friends the same way he use to but not to me, because yesterday he posted a screenshot of him texting (idk how) but he was telling about "how the delivery guy said that long hairs would suit him more", I mean why does he not tell me about these small details of his day anymore? And whenever he says bye I'm gonna study now, he still stays online coz I can see him liking memes and shit lol but I did not tell him about this and let it pass away, I even told him if you ever feel like you need space and don't wanna talk rn jus lemme know and idk man. I kinda felt bad. And whenever we talk about this situation going on, where he seems uninterested, he says his exams are stressing him a lot, he misses me etc etc. Even I have my exams, even I have a job (yes I am a college student but I even work as a content writer in a digital marketing firm), but nothing from my side has changed towards him. I still take efforts. I still do the little things that'll make him happy like writing letters for him, doddles, handmade gifts (I do so coz he loves them and I love seeing him happy) but now a days he has stopped appreciating these things too. His exams are getting over on 27th March, and we are gonna meet on 5th June coz his mom won't be there at his place so we would spend some time together. My question is, does he still love me? Do I still hold on to this phase? Idk man what should I do, coz this overthinking is killing me.

First post. Please correct me if I made any mistakes. I (F, 23) was called for an interview, asked on my first online meeting with them to fly down to their city, to which I hastily agreed (frustrated from the job hunt). Went to their office and met the boss' (40~ish, M).
My salary package included housing assistance and he casually made a comment on how I should be prepared for him to drop by at my house any time of the day since he would be paying for it. He also said he texts his employees at 4:30 AM sometimes for work so that his text is the first thing they see when they wake up. Later, there was a conversation about a podcast and I said something about how I'd introduce myself. He said something around the lines of "I could say I'm looking for a someone who could call me daddy". I was weirded out. In any case, I finished the interview and he was ready to send me formal offer letter, which he said I should be expecting by the next day. He also asked me to start working remotely for him the same week while I served my two week's notice in my current company. He called me later and said he wants to have dinner and drinks with me as a part of the interview on Sunday night to have a "lengthy discussion". I am from a conventional family and was not comfortable going out alone with a stranger that late at night. I asked him if we could instead schedule it within reasonable hours, to which he said "Frankly I am offended and I mistook you for a candidate who's actually easygoing and spontaneous." I apologized and told him via text it was not my intention to offend him. He didn't reply. Later I got a call from his secretary saying he is not sure about hiring me because of restrictions I put and he requires a candidate who's "more available". I was concerned for my safety, wasn't rude at all when I requested him to keep the meeting within reasonable hours. The country where I live is not safe for women in general, and more than that - it did not feel right in my gut to go out with him alone for late night drinks and dinner on a non-working day. How did saying no to that "offend" him? I've been left hanging for over a week now after he literally told me I should expect an offer letter by the next day. I don't know what to do or expect. Saying no to that drinks and dinner offer what got me rejected, I just can't shake off the feeling of regret.
Have I made a mistake? Am I just over reacting? What should I do?
I know I am qualified for this job. I have an MBA and 3 years of relevant experience, I completed my Bachelor's degree abroad and consciously built my soft skills over those years. They were prepared to offer me job the very next day, and now I feel like I ruined it all? Please help me get some perspective. I don't know what to do.
TLDR- Wrongfully rejected for saying no to late night drinks and dinner with the boss on a Sunday (non-working day).

I just want to share if my feelings are valid. My husband bought a new sx toy because of just being curious. This is our first time to see a sx toy in actual. I thought he was joking about buying that though online and I'm shocked, he actually did! That's why he's always saying sorry out of nowhere recently.
I'm currently 8 months pregnant with our 1st child and I'm getting emotional after we received the s*x toy that he bought. I can't sleep at night and overthink the situation. I think that I'm not enough for him and I failed being his wife. We already talked about this but I can still feel the pain inside/ I'm still being emotional and crying a lot. I think I'm just overthinking and I'm on prenatal anxiety right now.
Would like to know your suggestions or comments on how could I accept this situation and prevent negative thoughts. Thank you!

Task:You bought a new HD television last week. At first it seemed to work perfectly but after a few hours a line appeared across the TV and the sound seemed a little strange. You cannot take the TV back to the shop so you decide to write to them. Write a letter of complaint to the shop.
Dear SiMadam,
Firstly,I would like to say that your TVs are the best in the market with amazing prices and quality.
However, the TV I bought from the store yesterday has started to show a line;as well as, a few disturbing sounds. It is been like this for several hours now. Clearly the packaging was not good enough to protect the TV. I tried everything you might think of to fix the TV. Despite, I have not opened the back of the TV yet.
Please send someone who can help me with my issue. If that’s not possible, send me a new TV that has the same model as the one I bought from the store yesterday. It is a 5p inch smart TV model 2021. I live in 3828 Piermont Dr, Albuquerque, NM. Order number is 2751903.
Your sincerely HAM Word count 131

Hi there :)
My gf and I are looking to discover North America (Canada and US) for a longer time (3-6 Months) and we are currently looking for options to buy or rent a CamperVan. Our starting point would be Vancouver. The usual way to rent a Van or Motorhome online is too expensive for us (costs easily above 10'000 US$) and now we are looking at other options. We thought about buying a Van and then after we're finished with our trip to resell it (We would be open to return to Vancouver and resell it to the same person that has sold it to us). So I wanted to ask if someone has some advice or maybe an offer for us?
Thanks in advance

Hi, I'm looking for some advice on how to make some extra cash in Manchester.
I currently work and earn just about enough to pay for my bills, mortgage but unfortunately can't afford anything else outside of that give how expensive it is to live in the UK now.
I live in an unfurnished place and currently have a bathroom and kitchen that are in dire need of repair (the bathroom needs a full repair) and I need a way to make extra cash for these essential repairs. The kitchen unfortunately has a leak from the bathroom as they are interconnected and both rooms need replacing including brickwork, tiling and new walls and units etc.
I don't eat out and I live a very frugal lifestyle with no subscriptions or extra expenses. By the time my bills and mortgage leave my bank account I only have enough for food. I buy very basic food and never splurge and cannot afford much by way of food.
Can someone offer some advice as I'm not eligible for any financial grants for home repairs. I have also been to a few charity shops for furniture but unfortunately I cannot even afford there's or Facebook marketplace prices...
I currently work 5 days a week but literally can't afford to live anymore. I really don't know what to do.
Any advice is appreciated I'm really struggling to afford anything...
