The New York Trump Case Is Kind of Perfect
2024.05.14 11:50 Bonegirl06 The New York Trump Case Is Kind of Perfect
"Not all that long ago, I thought that the trial currently being held in The People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump would be the last one I’d want to see as the first one tried against the former president. It seemed the least serious of the cases against him. Here’s a man who tried to overthrow American democracy by launching a coup to stay in power. A man who allegedly stole dozens of boxes of classified national-security documents from the White House, some containing secrets about other countries’ nuclear-weapons capabilities, then lied about the documents, concealed them, and obstructed a federal investigation about them.
I thought I would have strongly preferred the cases about those matters to have gone first, particularly the secret-documents case, which substantively would be a lock, were it not for the judge overseeing it. But I feel the need to admit error. The truth is, I’ve come around to the view that People v. Trump is, in at least some ways, the perfect case to put Trump in the dock for the first time, and—I hope, but we’ll see—perhaps prison.
Because this case really captures Donald Trump. The legal commentariat have been engaged in an odd debate about what to call it. “The Stormy Daniels case.” “The hush-money case.” “The porn-star-hush-money case.” (Personally, that’s always been my favorite, and I think it sounds even better in German—Pornostarschweigegeldrechtsfall.) The more legally precise would like it to be known as “the New York business-records-falsification case,” because that’s what the New York penal code says it is. Some high-minded people I know prefer “the New York election-interference prosecution,” because it involves the concealment of a matter that might well have affected the outcome of the 2016 presidential race.
All these locutions work, but what the case is really about is Trump’s modus operandi—lying. He’s a matryoshka doll of mendacity. He lies, usually lies some more, and then often lies about the lies he’s previously told. He told at least 30,573 lies while president, by The Washington Post’s count. He lies almost whenever he opens his mouth, even when truth would better serve him. To be sure, his other criminal cases involve lies—lies about the 2016 election, lies about the military secrets he stole. But the alleged lies in People v. Trump strike at the core of his moral putrescence—and Trump knows it. They are lies allegedly meant to cover up a tawdry man’s tawdry behavior. The case truly embodies Donald Trump. And for that reason, I think, it deeply disturbs him."

2024.05.14 11:41 CovenantRediting Disruption to the connection to higher vibrations? And is it lifting?
I noticed there had been a lot more doom and gloom, woe-is-me posts here lately. I still remembered just a month ago, there were just repeating posts of "Am I a starseed?" Over and over again. I stopped paying attention after that because pointless repetition annoys me, though this definitely caught my attention.
I'm usually very attuned to the Other Places; I can easily get visions of otherworldly environments or a place I and my nonphysical companions visit as my Power Place, or see patterns all whenever I close my eyes and focus. I could astral project easily and visit these places and friends. Though I noticed that ever since the start of May, it's gotten harder for me to get these visions. When I close my eyes, I see only darkness or faint visions, even when I consciously try to see what I wanted. Astral projecting had also become difficult. Though during a recent nap, one of my companions managed to get my attention. Though I couldn't maintain a connection with her for long, I think she told me that there's some kind of disruption going on between us that's gradually lifting. I also heard a name spoken during my half-asleep state. "Abel of (something)". I couldn't remember what that something was while I'm typing this. I wish I could, because the name 'Abel' was heard from a Warhammer game I played a short while before. I know that the real Abel's a big figure in biblical stories.
Had anyone else noticed this disruption? And is it lifting?

2024.05.14 11:31 JadedNostalgic "Husky mix" lol
So my girlfriend had a dog who she adored that passed away a few months before I met her a year and a half ago. When we met I had 3 huskies at the time (because I needed backup vocalists for my Acapella band), all rescues, and she sort of fell in love with them. Since we have been together, I lost my oldest boy to an injury, but hadn't thought about getting another pup, as my other two are bonded to me really hard.
A few months ago she mentioned to me how she has been thinking about getting another dog. I told her I thought it was a good idea. It had been about 2 years since her girl passed and she was ready to start the healing. So I start looking at the shelters, local social media groups, and rescues and keep sending photos of pups to her.
A few weeks ago I learned that my great aunt passed and so I had to go to her funeral. At the same time, my gf had a trip planned to visit her parents a few states away, set for about a week after I get back.
I take my girl Hannah, as she needed some 1 on 1 training with me and leave my other boy Viktor at home with gf. She messages me and says she asked to see one of the pups I sent her a link to. A few days later she has an appointment to see a completely different puppy, a 6 month old husky. She sends me pictures later in the day of this cute little 12 week old pup who won her over instead.
Her litter mates definitely had some husky features like the mask or spitz tail, but then there's this girl who looks nothing like a husky lol. She's 14 weeks old right now and her ears just started standing up and I swear this dog is a malinois.
Girlfriend took off after having the pup for about a week, so I ended up getting stuck with this poor pup who didn't understand what was happening (just like poor Viktor when a new pup showed up in the house while I was away). He was beyond pissed when I got home lol. It took him like 2 days to forgive me for allowing this to happen.
I've raised probably a dozen puppies in my life so far and this girl was, putting it mildly, an absolute terror when gf took off. For the first 2 days I didn't have even 2 minutes to myself. That said, in this week I've had her, I've come to love her and we've reached an understanding. I'm not going to say I didn't love her or wasn't going to love her, but we just didn't have that bond at the beginning. After all, she picked my girlfriend, not me, which is what the gf wanted. She wanted a "her" dog, which is to say a dog that either prefers her or is bonded with her, as my dogs clearly prefer me and follow me around/stay near me when I'm away from her.
We've gone from screaming in the car endlessly while solo to riding with the other pups happily and riding solo happily. We've gone from accidents in the house to her telling me she wants out, from maybe 6 accidents a day down to 1. We've gone from zero leash experience to wearing a harness happily and fundamentals of leash walking, though she just stays by my side at all times regardless. We've gone from chewing on bad things to chewing on good things. From not understanding of dog play to playing with both my pups. From no training at all to sit, come, stay, and we're working on shake hands. She even learned the "load up" procedure for the car from the other pups.
I've never seen such a smart puppy who is motivated entirely by wanting to make me happy. She likes food, but it's secondary to praise for her. I'm absolutely stunned how fast she is learning. None of my huskies took to instruction this well, though they were older when I adopted them.
Which leads me to the subject line. Man, there might be some husky in there, but I sure don't see it. We only know the mom was part husky. We're getting a DNA panel done so we know what to prepare for; I'm used to high energy/working dogs but I hear malinois is a whole other ball game. I thought maybe she looked more like a GSD but the vet said the ears looked more like malinois than Shepard or husky ears and I don't disagree.

My mood is swinging. I am feeling frustrated. How can anyone will going to read this garbage. I had not even make a world building. I had not even decide the name of the novel. Stupid so stupid. As i am staring on the screen. My patience paid off. I turned off my laptop I stand up from my chair. And saw the time.
Its 1 am.
If my father found about that i am wasting my time in these things instead of studying. Than raj you just say goodbye to your writing passion.
I am just a average person.
Your average who got always average marks . Average look
Average talking skill.
Average money.
Well i am going to make it. But HOW.
...as i am thinking what to do How to write something great
. Suddenly my electricity gone.
Its rare. Well where i am living i had never seen electricity gone. Because i am living in a hostel. College hostel. And it is very expensive one. So when electricity goes out generator works.
Glad part about its. All of my study expenses is on loan. I am belonging from a middle class family.
But my father agreed for my private college as i convinced him that i will pay. I will pay everything believe in me last time. ...
I opened my room gate and went to the main hall while adjusting my torch light.
I can hear students are shouting. Well it is because human always find fun in everything
so many of students always wait when will the electricity goes and they will shout loudly. Its a fun thing. Really. its first time that electricity gone. So students are shouting too loudly. Make it more fun. Well i also join them. And also start shouting at high pitch.
Suddenly i stopped. Staring at the wall.
No no.
I am staring at the void.
In front of my eyes.
There was a blue screen.
『Welcome to the gods heir』
It was so unrealistic. I thought that this is my dream. I touched the screen with my limb. But the funny part is. My limb goes through it. Like it is a hologram.
My thoughts are spinning.
How can this happen. Its utterly impossible. I had read so many webnovel i had already assumed so many scenarios like this. That there will be screen come from nowhere in front of you and you will say status and-
Wait status How can i forget this. In my rough voice i said - "status" And i am believing that there will be a status screen will come.
And my life will take a 180. Degree turn But to my surprise there is no screen came.
1 sec...
2 sec...
Sudden a somber expression appeared on my face. A kid who always growed up while reading novel. A system is always his dream.
3 sec... 3.4 sec- And than
A voice heared in my mind.
『 STATUS Name- Raj aggarwal Level- 1 Class- homo sapiens Sub class- None Stats/skills/shop/?¿? 』
As i stared at the screen. My lips raised upwardly. This is what i want This is like my dream I always wanted a magical world.
A rpg type world where gods and demons are fighting. I will increase my level while fighting monsters. What..What is there any chance of my being alive in this scenario. This world is going to change. I have to change. I have to protect my family. Family...
**Shit.. shit..
My family lives 100 miles from here.. If this system is real and everyone can see it. Then soon chaos is going to erupting. What should i do now.. Take a bus or metro. No no .. Think think.. Well lets call them first..**
.
I opened my phone screen and saw the battery.
Shit..
8 percent. It can work for few minutes or one hour max I called on my moms number.
**Ring...
Ring...**
My heartbeat is increasing
*
Ring... * A women voice heared in my ear
-"Hlo, raj are you fine. What.. what is this screen. Everyone can see it. Everyone is panicking. You have to hurry.... come home as soon as possible".
I am glad that my mom answered my phone. While I staring at my screen i answered-"
don't worry mom.
There is nothing as panicking. Calm down. Just prepare some weapons like your knife, baseball. And locked the house. Do not open the door.
And tell my little brother that i am coming. Theres nothing to worry. Everything is fine."
I convinced my mom that there is nothing. But a gloomy senstation was felting in my body. I has to hurry.
As i glanced to the main hostel reception. A men with black beared.
Brown skin. Black eyes and in red shirt and black pant is standing there My warden was also in the state of shock. I went to him. Seeing me his eyes became focus. He called my name.
" RAJ CAN YOU SEE THE SCREEN ALSO"
He remembered my name indeed worthy of warden position I nodded. "Well its strange-he said to me while looking at the main gate. The gate was big and transparent Made of glass. I also see outside. Utter Darkness
Worrying if any type of dragon come here and just make this college campus in ashes. I glanced to other direction.
More and more students came from there room. Many were studying in their room. Many were gaming in their room. But i don't care because i don't have any friends. ..
But what i am doing here... When a sytem comes to the world You will granted with many powers. But what i have to do. As i thinking.
I stepped out on a ant.
Well its there problem being a short and came under my limb.
...The words on my screen crazily gone and swapped by a another words
『 You are 137th one to killed a living being. 』 『 you got 5 true points』
A crazy expression came on my face.

2024.05.14 11:04 grnidiot 1994 960 ticking 😒 Exhaust manifold gasket? Messed up oil pan o-ring?
| Curious to hear what you guys think it is, it's been ticking like this for over a month now and I've been neglecting feeling around for exhaust leaks in the engine bay and such...been caught up doing other necessary things to keep it chugging along. I recently came across a video on here with very similar ticking and people were saying it was a snapped/pinched/generally no good oil pan o-ring. Others were also saying to just put some Seafoam in the tank, which is certainly appealing in terms of cost and time. For some background, did an oil change 10 mins prior to when the first video was taken last month, full synthetic 10w-30 like the manual (kinda) states. Ticking didn't change. My wagon definitely has a loss of power when stepping on the gas to get on the freeway and such, and you can certainly hear An exhaust leak, I just obviously haven't looked into where it's coming from. I finally will tomorrow before I leave for work. Cause of all the general symptoms beyond just the ticking, I'm assuming it's the damn gasket 🤦🏻♂️ feel free to ask questions and please if you've experienced this ruthless tick let me know what ended up being the cause! I'll update this post once it's fixed as well to help others out when their time comes.... submitted by grnidiot to Volvo [link] [comments] |
2024.05.14 11:02 Moonberry_Cake Learned over time that I have a spiritual veil/buffer over my psychic abilities during the years, it affects my chakras; Help, please?
I have asked this before in the past over the last four years and only now I have learned enough about this to where it is no longer a complete mystery to me, and now that I partially know what it is, I am hoping to figure out a plan and a path to help me with my healing journey and learn how to uplift the veil/buffer that prevents me from feeling anything with my gifts, and to an extent, feeling normal in my heart chakra center.
Long story short, this is what happened that led to this veil be upon me. I had long awaited for my psychic abilities, and in turn my chakras, to fully awaken and begin to experience what life is like as a psychic and feel the world around me. I was unsure of when it would happen until I was told by a guide that they would awaken after I had turned 22 in 2020. After a lot of patience, that came true, and was unexpected to attract an unwarranted amount of spirits around me. They made me confused and anxious while I was just beginning to detect sounds and auras with my abilities coming out. And somehow, after all of this, I had only known a brief glimpse of a white, wispy silhouette of a male spirit walking away from my direction past what looked like a drawer, and then suddenly saw nothing. In short, that time in 2020 was the only time I could decently experience my abilities like I had hoped and could not find an explanation to why I couldn't have my gifts awaken without and interruptions or strange paranormal occurrences. In that year, I had felt rips and tears in my aura that felt a little draining, and as I can surmise, that contributed to my journey to recovery.
What had first started my healing and recovery journey was not only the strange attacks on my aura and the austere confusion that sullied my foretold, patient awakening, yet also a shut-off in my mind that I had later discovered from a reiki healer was in fact an energy blockage in my Third Eye, which he healed and helped me walk the first steps to growth and transformation. I have no certainty of when the veil was first put on me, but throughout the entire time afterwards, I was saddened and disappointed that I could no longer feel the healing energy of my crystals, the auras of spirit being or physical people, hear the voices and thoughts of the spirit beings, and the fact that I could no longer feel like I could daydream, know my dreams, know when I'm in a Zen state when meditating or even get a sense on how to astral project correctly. Every day since the closing of my Third Eye and the end of 2020, I felt soft, faint, numb, unfeeling and unaware of anything that used to make me feel the highs and lows of life and went about my days thinking that I had lost my sense of wonder and excitement in my heart. Scary videos and movies no longer shake or startle me, love feels/felt distant and unstirring, I could not experience bliss and excitement shared with a lover or on my own, and my artistic hobbies lost their spark. All of this simply made me feel more alien to my family and people around me while I was having reiki sessions and looking for ways to feel centered, balanced, grounded, and normal again. Although, this was considering after the fact that I had a spiritual awakening once my DNA activated my dormant psychic abilities.
All throughout this time, sometimes various spirit beings popped up and I could hardly even tell who they were or if they were even of divine love and light at all, so while this was happening, those very beings just made things more difficult to comprehend and allow myself to understand the reasoning of my family's help. Fast forward to this year after a long, austere, and oddly eventful four years since my 22nd birthday, I had in total 6 hospital visits, 2 stays at recovery centers for behavioral rehab, an absurd amount of medical debt, and an embarrassing amount of times I had argued with my family over a simple fantasy game that was a part of this four year-long story that I will not mention the name of; all of which for the same reasons that first manifested from my psychic awakening and circumstances that absolutely no nurse or doctor could even help or pinpoint. The only help I had ever received that gave me any progress was the reiki healings, medium sessions with my guardian angels and spirit guides, the crystals I owned to help with my chakras, and the cathartic realization that I was actually a starseed going through a really odd awakening.
I was sad, I was upset, I was overwhelmed, and I was simply itching for a logical, metaphysical answer that could help me further understand my internal circumstances and walk away from the chaos of trying to figure out how to even re-learn how to meditate, daydream, visualize anything, and even have a substantial certainty that I could have a trustworthy conversation with my true spirit team without any false beings intruding and confusing me. Since this journey started, I have grown a lot and had some progress in this, and in summary, I have finally found a happier ending. Yet was has perplexed me and eluded me was that I could not tell was was still keeping me from re-sensitizing myself to my abilities and feel more aware and connected throughout my body, just so that I could feel more normal within my new sense of self. What helped the most was not any doctor giving me a nasty pill for BPD or Schizophrenia, but talking with my guardian angels and them telling me that they put a veil/buffer on me to keep me safe from overstimulation and unnecessary encounters from low-vibrational beings (although from my personal perspective, it would have been helpful to not have this psychic problem with not even telling the difference between my spirit team and anyone else- thus, the great itch to remove it), and that it is very much possible to fully remove it since that it's temporary. I had even learned the real names of my angels and starseed family, and that I had a large team of angels watching over me. This helped me find progress and some peace in my heart.
And so, in the epilogue era of my life, I am still in search of the same, tangible connection with that spark of wonder and feeling comfortable and grounded within my body, as I have learned from attempting to meditate again is that there is something with my heart and mind that makes me feel so unaware, soft, and faint to the energies around me and feeling anything at all with my own body, most likely in my heart and crown chakras that could hold more answers to fulfilling my wishes. I have completely foregone the need to use a pendulum at all for spiritual communication and is not solely used for crystal energy repair and spell-work, so now I have to really use my senses to channel any information from my spirit team and feel confident enough that I can still try to get the same, transformative results that the more emotionally aware people know when they feel their breath and prana while meditating, getting a healing, and having spiritual journeys like other psychics and starseeds do. I have been feeling quite unconfident and doubtful of myself with reattuning to my senses, body, and emotions again, as now I am having encouragement from my spirit medium and my spirit team that I should endeavor into reiki practice, automatic writing, and do spirit channeling myself. Whatever is going on with my heart and how the veil/buffer affects me, its quite discouraging to even try when I couldn't even tell what's happening in my dreams at night. I do not even write down my dreams anymore ever since the end of 2020 when I had first noticed that they all felt blurry, faint, fuzzy, and distant from my usual experiences, and now, I don't even bother to try to see if I can recall any visitations or conversations with my guides and angels at night.
I am in a better position now than I was back then, yet my journey is not over. I do not know anyone that has felt like this or had known their abilities better than I did, and I would like to ask if there is anyone who knows what a veil/buffer like this is for and how I can prepare myself to be ready enough to fully remove it myself, and my angels said that I could indeed do that, although I could guess that it would have to be through some kind of spiritual journey into the self/subconscious self that I could uplift it from the inside. You can try to imagine what that would be like, with meditation, in turn, feeling as soft, faint, dark, and distant like I said.
I have noticed lately, that I can still feel sadness and joy enough to substantially make me cry a little, and I enjoy that actually, it feels more close to home of how it used to feel before I had the odd spiritual attacks and all of the other said factors of my recovery; yet nowadays, I still do not jump at a thing that would usually scare or startle me (like horror game playthroughs) or even feel a natural laugh coming on when I hear or see something that previously makes me giggle and laugh. So, I try to coax myself to smile and nod at the funny things or even fake at laughing to appear more normal in front of my family or friends. Bliss and pleasure definitely feel soft and faint as well, so I know that intimacy or romantic affection does not rouse me enough anymore. I pretty much have to encourage acting out my emotions and pretend a little, which I would rather restore the excitement and tangibility of instead of feeling low and calm all of the time.
I have no spirit beings affecting me anymore, and my life is now more steady and stable now. Yet, I know that I would still have to find a way to establish a safe and effective method to spiritually visit and talk with my spirit team so that they can help me understand my life, sense of self, and what I can do to learn more about my starseed mission and why I reincarnated into this world.
What else can I do to help further the progress I have made? What kind of modalities should I try out and help heal my heart, mind and body, to heal myself like my spirit team wanted? What kinds of advice and tips can help with a soul like me who feels somewhat "aphantasic" to formerly strong and tangible senses and feelings? What exercises and practices should I take up to help balance myself and feel and know the peace between thoughts during meditation? Perhaps more reiki is needed? Could learning reiki and other types of energy healing help me with healing and opening up my heart (where I think that most of the problem is)?
What can I do to bring more empathic awareness and start to feel normal again?
Happen to know anyone who knows what it's like to have a special veil on one's spiritual senses or had something similar to having a healing journey like this? Maybe a DNA activation or healing may help with this? Whatever it is, I would love what any of you in the spiritual community have to say, as this whole journey and how it started came as one heck of a shock and surprise to me. I never had this happen to me before. I have tried to find out if Qigong or regression hypnosis therapy would help, but if you can figure this, it was definitely not easy to even tell what kind of energy shifts were going on within me or around me, so that couldn't have helped me at the time. Neurotherapy brain scans did nothing for me, in case anyone wonders that. Any feedback on this would be great, as I don't think that it is just this veil/buffer that is the sole cause of my issue. Who else can explain this besides me? Atheist scientists cannot, priests cannot, so who else would know? Please do message me, I yearn to get closer to feeling the love and light of the universe again.
Who knows? Maybe it has something to do with a subconscious thing with my Inner Child that triggered this feeling? My former Reiki healer, Chris, did say that I had "shut off" my powers and that I had regressed inwards, so, let's see if that still holds true?

2024.05.14 10:59 One5_ Rekindled ex is dating a guy with kids when she doesn’t want any
HEADS UP POST HAS SOME BACKSTORY TO IT!!!!
My best friend of 10 years and girlfriend for 7 of those years recently rekindled our romance after not talking for 8 months she’s 23 and I’m 24. We are not official and keeping our options open so it was cool that we were talking to other people. I know she’s talking to one other guy. We ended things because of a night out drinking she got shit face drunk while I stayed sober because I was driving. Went back to her place to make sure she got home safe. She insisted on having sex with me even though I told her now and tried to leave multiple times because I didn’t want to take advantage of her in her intoxicated state. She told me to just lay with her until she fell asleep so I did. 5 mins later she gets on top of me and holds my hands down while putting her boobs against my lips. She then grabbed my hands to place on her butt while she twerked on me. We did some oral stuff but no penetration.
The day after she blocked me on everything and told me that she doesn’t remember that night and I took advantage of her which pissed me off because I would never do that to someone I deeply loved for the past decade even throughout high school when we started to date.
Now a week later she is in a relationship with the other guy which leads me to believe that I dodged a bullet with her.
NOW FOR THE RESON OF THIS POST Her new boyfriend is the guy she’s been talking to. The guy is 27 with two kids one is 6 and the other is 2. His ex wife (they are separated but still haven’t gotten a divorce and live together) cheated on him during marriage and he cheated back as revenge. She (my ex) has never dated anyone with kids. She has told me that she doesn’t want kids ever and doesn’t expect to be raising his kids ever or being a stepmom ever. She’s told me that her new “boyfriend” and her haven’t even gone on an official date like dinner type stuff just hanging out at night every now and then for an hour or two.
I definitely do not plan on getting back with my ex but I’m just curious how long do you think this little relationship between them will last???

Guo went to jail for cheating, and the lies about the farm were exposed!
On March 15, 2023, Guo Wengui, a fugitive from the Interpol Red Notice who was absconding in the United States, was arrested by the New York police on suspicion of fraud and other crimes.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Guo Wengui was arrested and accused of orchestrating a $1 billion fraud. Prosecutors said Guo used the hundreds of thousands of fans he accumulated online to solicit investment for his cryptocurrency, media and other companies. The indictment stated that Guo Wengui used the money to purchase a 50,000-square-foot home, a yacht, a Ferrari, and two mattresses worth $36,000, among other items. The indictment accuses Guo Wengui of 11 counts of fraud and money laundering. Prosecutors said they seized $634 million in crimes. KWOK allegedly lied to his victims and promised them generous rewards if they invested or provided funds to companies like GTV, his alleged Himalayan Farm Alliance, G/CLUBS and Himalayan Exchange.
After Guo Wengui was arrested, Washington DC farmer and member of the Jagged Group "A Bing" Jiao Bingshang, in order to prove his innocence after Guo Wengui was arrested, directed more than 380 "old chairs" who invested in GTV to join the Gate "Cornerstone Tribe" Make a “I’m not a victim” statement. These are important and irrefutable evidence of the crimes committed by the "Guo Gang" group sanctioned by the RICO Act! Don’t forget to submit it in court!

2024.05.14 10:33 bvkrEk9rzQy6 [21M] sitting on a bus for the next few hours
I'm sitting on a bus for a few hours. Would love to chat with anyone who's open to it. Below, you'll find a bit about me
Hi, I'm Dylan and I'm a computer science major from the states. As my major implies, I'm into all this computers and technology. Despite being a software engineer, I'm also into a fair amount of engineering topics. I've done some light robotics in the past, and sometimes fiddle with cars (although mainly out of necessity).
Besides that, I love good food and the outdoors. I used to run and bike a fair bit, but that's been on pause recently because of university. I definitely do hope to get back into the swing of it this sunmer. We'll see if I actually do 😂.
I'll be chilling for the next few hours, so feel free to message me.

2024.05.14 10:27 Kooky_Layer Leaseholder’s solicitor charging £350 to draft paperwork to request permission for a pet
I currently own and live in a leasehold apartment and am in the process of adopting a dog.
My lease states “Not to keep any bird reptile dog or other animal in the Demised Premises without the previous consent in writing of the Lessors which may be given by the Lessors or their Managing Agents for the time being such consent to be revocable by notice in writing at any time on complaint of any nuisance or annoyance being caused to any owner tenant or occupier of the Building or of any part of the Development”
I got in touch with the property manager who put me in contact with the leaseholder’s solicitor.
His response was that to consider the request and draft the necessary paperwork to pass to the leaseholder, the fee is £350.
To me, £350 for them just to consider this seems absolutely extortionate and when speaking to a neighbour who has a dog, they didn’t mention anything about fees (I haven’t since asked them).
Forgive me if this sounds naive but could I not just directly contact the leaseholder and ask for permission rather than their solicitor writing up all this paper work?
I let the solicitor know the dog is a 5-year-old terrier mix and he did mention that this type of dog ‘may well be suitable to give consent to’. As this isn’t a definite yes, I am apprehensive about spending all that money just to get rejected.
Any advice is appreciated, thank you.

2024.05.14 10:26 ChikyChikyBoom Next (Little) Thing: Insect-Like Mini-Robots
Engineers at Washington State University have developed two miniature bug-like robots that could be used in the future for work in areas such as artificial pollination, search and rescue, insect control, environmental monitoring, micro-fabrication and robotic-assisted surgery.
(Also great for creepy-crawler pranks?) The two mini-bugs weigh in at just 8 milligrams and 55 milligrams, and can move at about six millimeters a second—way slower than ants, who can run at a metesec.

2024.05.14 10:23 Nusaiba_123 how strict is attendance marking for elective classes?
I took ANHS1600 and have unfortunately missed some tutorials for sickness or because my core classes had huge essays due the same day so I prioritised that over this class.
I know it’s not a valid reason and I’m definitely going to fix my time management skills and not repeat this next semester. However, since I’ve missed more than 2 I’m worried about how it’ll reflect on my final grade especially as an intl student. I’ve already emailed her about this and have emailed her before when I’ve missed too. I’ve still been on track for everything, no late assignments, pretty good grades, and my other classes are also fine.
She already stated it wasn’t like a 1 absence = -10% situation but more ur overall participation and they seem more easygoing but I’m still worried and not sure how easygoing exactly they are and if i’m just fucked.
Did anyone else take this class and can tell me how they were?? or just in general how many tuts being missed would equate to the overall 90% attendance between all your classes?

2024.05.14 10:22 SemiHD777 We need to talk about Backrooms based Video Games.
[ To Start ]
I know there are A LOT of backrooms based games out there varying in scope, quality, & just general gameplay style/direction. But I have an idea for a massive long term ambitious project, & would like to know if anyone knows of an already existing project that I can contribute to or if anyone would like to take this journey with me as a contributoco-developer.
[ The Idea ]
I want a game to play as something like the Wikidot or Fandom tries to convey. A wanderer amongest these levels with there own quirks, Atmosphere, Objects, & Entities. Factions or settlements to come across with possible trading & missions to partake, all with a looting system for things you find around the levels. The world to change over game updates like how things constantly change in the backrooms all the time. Something like a PDA system for the player to have to read up on & keep track of levels, Objects, or Entities like how the Wikidot tries to seem to be while reading it. A graphics style reminiscent of early PS2 Silent Hill 2, but this is up for debate.
[ To End it Off ]
I know this would be a ambitious project as stated before & I would definitely be setting short term goals over time to make things more realistic. I'm open to any ideas, & have even been playing around with the idea of making the project an open source effort so anyone with time & want can contribute.

2024.05.14 10:14 uncouthslayer child of parents who both cheated, messing me up
this happened when i was a child till my teens. I'm in my 20s now. prefacing this by mentioning my parents are often in other states due to their work, so I grew up with my mother majorly but even then I was alone for a bit in my high school years due to her getting a gig in another state and we couldn't accommodate a shared living space.
i knew my dad had cheated on my mom twice (?) with his coworker once when I was 13, and neighbor when I was 15. shit apparently went down and my mother blew up and it was a huge thing but they stayed together bc at that point they entered two decades of marriage (so idk figure that logic out beats me personally.) my mother acts like my father is the only one who had cheated but both my brother and I know she had been seeing her coworker for years when I was 8-14 years old. she would call him home and make my brother and I study in our room while she would "talk" to him about office work in their room. my brother and I are not dumb and during that time I remember my brother digging her stuff up and we saw all the exchanges and everything and tbh we laughed and made a pact to extort her at every single point possible without ever mentioning the affair (We were kids so that meant ps4s etc lmao) yet I do drop hints but bc I haven't secured my job yet and I'm living under their roofs I don't say shit. but I remember it single handedly altering my brain chemistry and since that age I have not been able to look both of them the same way again. even though the affairs they had are dead and buried. my brother also chooses to ignore it but he tells me from time to time just how sad he used to get thinking about it. i don't talk to him much now because he's older than me and has moved out and we have some issues i can't look past but we both agree on this traumatizing us both.
last week my mother told me that her coworker's kid cleared this rlly tough job entrance and I was surprised to see the way she talked about it, she thinks I don't know. i asked her who is this guy and daughter and she played it off by saying he's a lowlife and she wants me to be better than his kid career wise and I was like ok. i checked her phone on the side (don't crucify me I was placing an order for food) and she had him blocked. which was curious. i also made the connection of how she despises a certain section of society members after I found out he belonged to that section. i guess the entire thing just makes me icky, and I involuntarily cry at times. i dislike seeing my parents....in this light but I cant seem to make peace with it. i just get so angry, I want to yell at them for doing this but I cant. they both love me to bits and pieces but I am afraid I do not extend the same affection for them, ever since I was a kid. and I never will. and it sucks. the only way I can feel anything is when I charge them money for my purchases, it's my way of "getting back" for the trauma I feel. I'm more upset with the hypocrisy of my mother. i don't like my father very much as it is, so it's easier of me to dismiss him, but he loves me....and i just can't remove the "cheating" lens when I see them. i don't see them as parents beyond a point...just horrible humans. I'm cordial and friendly to both of them on the surface level bc I'm a built like that, but my resentment runs deep. my mortal fear is becoming like them.
they're both god fearing. I'm not tbh, god hasn't done anything for me for 20+ years so i gave up lol. but every time either of them mentions god and karma, my favorite thing to mention is that karma will get everyone, including the ones who pray everyday and wear talismans. (what they wear) while staring them dead in their eyes.
i just want to know how to navigate this situation without it eating me up until i become the manifestation of a hurt, angry kid so much so i cant do my daily tasks without feeling boiling rage. therapy is not an option.
tldr: something in me dies when I think of how both of my parents cheated on each other. I'm so. ugh.

2024.05.14 10:11 BipolarBanter Globus Pharyngeus with Complex Comorbidities
I need the otolaryngology medical community’s help, as many physicians have been stumped by my situation. Admins, please read before deciding to delete. I am not a medical professional, but I possess a unique situation that cannot seem to be resolved by the medical professionals available to me. I am not sure how to phrase this without breaking the subreddit’s only rule, so I will try to express it in a manner oriented to my obsessive curiosity to understand my (undiagnosed) condition.
For starters, I have no credentials to confidently say anything I am about to; some of it may even be jargon or irrelevant, but I will try my best.
Eight years ago, I weighed around 285 lbs. I began an exercise routine that caused me to lose about 20 lbs within a short amount of time. During this period, I developed persistent discomfort in my left ear. I noticed the discomfort after visiting my aunt, where there was a 500’ elevation difference. When I came back home, my ear would not pop. Over the course of a week or so, the ear pressure eventually equalized, but everything sounded muffled.
This led me to my first ENT visit. The ENT didn’t really give me much time, and paired me with an audiologist who determined my hearing was perfect. After hearing the unfortunate news of no diagnosis, I asked why I have to pop my ears to hear consistently. I was brushed off and told to see a TMJ specialist. The TMJ specialist told me I’m fine.
This is where my independent research began. I determined that my “popping” was actually me forcibly equalizing the pressure in my Eustachian tube by repeatedly moving my jaw. I went to an in-network ENT. This ENT took offense to my self-diagnosis of Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (ETD) and told me my issues were allergy-related. I was referred to their allergy department and put on immunotherapy shots. After completing my treatment and reaching maintenance, my issue persisted.
Frustrated, I looked online for the highest-rated ENT in my state. This doctor did not accept my insurance, so I decided to pay out of pocket to get the issue resolved. This doctor’s niche was rhinoplasty, and he was the first (and so far last) to give me the time of day. He performed a nasal endoscopy and a CT scan of my sinuses. Both tests revealed nothing of use. He noted I have a slightly deviated septum, but not nearly enough to cause any of my symptoms. However, he did note the sinuses on the side where I’m experiencing discomfort were inflamed. His diagnosis was chronic sinusitis. I was prescribed Azelastine 0.1% (137 mcg) nasal spray (an antihistamine). I used this medication for about a year in conjunction with Flonase, but nothing changed.
Once again, I sought out a different ENT. This ENT also took offense to my description of symptoms because I used medical phrasing (ETD). After a brief consultation, I was told once again that my symptoms were allergy-related. I went back on allergy shots, reached maintenance, and once again the issue persisted.
At this point, I gave up and didn’t bother refilling my prescriptions or finishing my shot treatment. Over the course of a year or two, I developed a severe sinus infection that went several months untreated. It came to the point where I was unable to breathe out of my nose at all, affecting me to the point my family members became concerned, as now there were comorbidities (such as sleep apnea). I eventually saw a pulmonologist who made it clear I needed to see an ENT and get my sinus issues fixed.
Thinking that maybe if I stuck with the same ENT and followed the trial and error process, I went back to the last ENT I saw. I was diagnosed with a sinus infection and prescribed medication. For the first time in months, I was able to breathe again after excreting from my nose what looked like petrified mucus. With this small victory, I returned to the same ENT and expressed my frustrations. I passionately described the location of my discomfort and explained that I believe the Eustachian tube problems I’m having are not the issue but a symptom of something else. I explained that I feel a mass or some sort of inflammation in my throat and mentioned the inflammation found by the previous ENT who performed a nasal endoscopy.
That was a mistake. After expressing my frustrations, I was diagnosed with "globus hystericus." Initially excited to finally have an explanation and a treatment plan, I was disheartened when I was told he could no longer assist me and suggested involving different medical professionals. When I got home and googled my new diagnosis, I realized he was referring me to a psychologist. Needless to say, I didn’t return.
Unable to accept my new reality, I resorted to more independent research. Before I even say this, I want to strongly express how much this improved my symptoms. Mewing, changing my tongue posture, and stopping mouth breathing drastically improved my Eustachian tube pressure over the course of a year. Using a jaw exercisegum daily also significantly reduced my ear pressure issues. Although the discomfort was reduced, it was not fully resolved. Sometimes I’d use a massage gun on my jaw, chin, bridge of my nose, head, and neck, which helped with mucus and provided temporary relief, especially lower in my neck near my chests, this seems to what felt like drain mucus/fluid. I am 120% able to the breath better after, but the “mass” still felt present.
After a while, my circumstances relocated me to a different state, giving me a new opportunity to finally resolve this. I saw a new ENT, and I gave the full rundown of my symptoms and history. I mentioned every medical ailment, bad habit, and quirk I have ever experienced. I mentioned my frequent regurgitation from overeating, how sometimes ground beef or rice seems to get stuck somewhere in the back of my throat, how I sleep on the side where I’m having discomfort, and how I pick my nose in the morning. I also mentioned that I can feel when my ears are producing wax and can remove hot wax with a Q-tip in real-time. I mentioned having tubes as a kid (as I mentioned to every ENT). This ENT diagnosed my issue as being caused by the acid in my regurgitation irritating my sinuses. I was prescribed Omeprazole 40 mg. I took this for a while but realized it was a bandaid on a bigger issue. I needed to prioritize my weight and eating habits.
I eventually started measuring my portions and eating slowechewing my food better, which fully resolved the regurgitation issue. However, I still occasionally get food stuck somewhere in my throat and definitely stuck in my soft palate. I have had my tonsils and adenoids removed when I was a toddler, but I can’t help but wonder if something grew back and is trapping food (I assume this would show in a CT scan).
As of recently, my latest symptom is hairs coming from the back of my mouth. Initially, I thought they were beard hairs, but after the fifth or sixth time, I became fully certain that single strands of hair are coming from the side of my mouth where I’m experiencing discomfort. I can replicate this over a long period of repeatedly opening my jaw (like I have Tourette’s) in an effort to equalize the pressure in my ear. I did some research, and it sounds like it could be a million different things. So once again, I have an ENT appointment coming up.
Now we’re caught up. I started to about a year ago still use the nasal spray and Flonase daily, and I even have a tablespoon of raw local honey. I have ZERO allergies. My ear pressure has progressively gotten worse over the past month, with the frequency of hairs increasing due to my constant need to open and close my mouth for pressure relief. I am not sure what to even tell this new ENT. I need experts to help me navigate the landscape of this condition.

2024.05.14 10:03 Thoughts-n-shit More or less listeners after the OVO Mal embarassment?
Whole Pod really has a "before and after OVO Mal" feeling.
I personally don't really even care for it anymore. Basically just get to it when I do and let it Rock in the background. Not so much the embarassing ass shit Mal is doing, but moreso the others besides Demaris being scared to really give any genuine push back and constantly walking on eggshells around Mal. Shit, even Demaris shut up now and noticebly bites her tongue.
Mal blatanly stating Kendrick hit his wife as a fact definitely should have been adressed again but they didn't want to offend the vegan owl.
The lightheartedness is gone and Mal is constantly overly defensive and reactionary.
Would be interesting to know if they gained or lost listeners after that shit.
My guess: momentarily gained a few, but will lose more in the long run since the chemistry is way off now.
