Techdecklive won t work

So, has anyone heard of a revision rhinoplasty doctor in Beverly Hills, named Nima Shemirani? I called about a revision rhinoplasty and they quoted me $57,000?!? Has anyone else been quoted that? Can anyone give me some other highly recommended revision surgeons??? Normal working people can’t spend $57,000 on a surgery!!!! Screw this, I’m flying to Turkey, lol……

Like everyone in this sub, I've rewatched Justified so many times I can pretty much watch it in my head.
Every season is so compelling but I feel like Season one isn't discussed enough lol, we usually tend to talk about the incredible S6 ending that's easily one of the best closers in drama history. But I wanted to take a sec to talk about why we even got that ending that's still so goated to this day.
Justified tricks you in S1. It pulls a bait n switch. I'll explain.
The first episode does a phenomenal job at introducing us to Raylan Givens as a character. He's very charismatic and interesting to follow and doesn't take shit from criminals period lol. And then, the true hook that took Raylan from a fun character to someone to invest in.
"Honestly, you're the angriest man I've ever known."
That one line, that one exchange, added so much depth to Raylan and it couldn't have been done better.
So now, we have a character we're willing to go the mile with. This is crucial for why the bait n switch works. However, there's another reason it works.
Boyd Crowder. The show pulls a well done sneaky tactic that also makes the bait n switch work. Boyd is first presented as a one off villain (not adversary lol). He played his part and executed it flawlessly. But the sneaky tactic was keeping him in without hinting at the larger story yet. For the most part, he's first utilized as someone Raylan can somewhat bounce ideas off of and get information from.
The first handful of episodes are fairly episodic. It gives the feel of the usual go-to crime dramas in a way. In that it's safe to miss a few episodes. It's familiar feeling and comfortable. That's the bait. It's a fun show.
But, slowly, it begins to fold in more nuance and more characters that aren't one-offs. The first incident being Arlo's introduction episode. Now, on top of Raylan being the angriest man in the world, we actually get a glimpse into why. Just a little bit.
Along the way we start getting more Boyd interactions in prison. And then, the hint of the switch happens. The mention of Bow Crowder's release.
That one statement takes Ava's plotline that seemed more like a interesting plot device for the first episode and turns it into something more palpable.
Maybe this isn't the average crime drama with exceptional characters. Maybe it's not just episodic.
Then the switch happens. Bow Crowder is released. And now the characters we got to know throughout the episodic episodes are elevated through their relationships and histories with each other because Bow has now introduced something deeper at play. He brings Harlan's history to life. It's no longer a setting with a few back stories for characters, it's now it's own character with its own roots that have long lasting effects.
Shortly afterwards, Raylan is put in the hot seat because of his relationship to Ava. Consequences not typically seen in other crime-dramas. And thus, Boyd Crowder is released. And born again from the man who held Ava hostage in her own home.
The switch is pulled off with expert execution. A show that started as easy to watch fun has now become a gripping drama that sucks u in and keeps u there for the entire rest of the series.
And of course, there's the ending of S1. And I'd really like to discuss why it hits as well as it does.
Usually, a first season doesn't have a greenlight for a second season off rip. (Idk if that's the case for Justified but I'm assuming it wasn't due to it being a brand new series at the time, correct me if I'm wrong lol). And so most first seasons end in such a way that if another season didn't receive a greenlight, it could still stand on it's own as a complete or mostly complete story and arc.
But as we all know, Justified didn't do that. It ended on a very well done cliff hanger. It could've easily had Boyd just off the gun thug lady and end it there. But it didn't.
Instead, it gave a wonderful pay off to both Boyd and Raylan's individual and shared story arcs throughout the season.
"No Raylan, I'm gonna bet my life on you being the only friend I have left in this world."
That line closed out the season with such a satisfying payoff that anyone watching wouldn't stop watching going forward.
This fun little show wound up delivering on every single set up, and slowly increased the intrigue via the best bait and switch in crime-drama history.
Season one is incredible.

I (F24) am newly engaged to my partner (M31) of 2.5 years. We have both been very career driven individuals. He owns multiple successful construction businesses and I’ve managed to climb the corporate ladder in my field. I currently make about $175K before bonuses and he brings home a couple million a year and plans to sell one of his businesses soon for quite a bit. Both of our goals has always been to retire young. I have always wanted to be a stay at home mom and he has always wanted that as well.
I am miserable with work. I work long days (however his are longer) just to come home and cook dinner since I’m home first by a few hours, clean, and take care of the dogs. I hate my job. I picked it purely for money and the money isn’t even worth it for me anymore. I have always wanted to be a teacher. That’s what I’ve always been passionate about and he has always told me if I wanted to make that career change he’d support it. I finally made the choice that thats what I wanted to do. He didn’t seem pleased with it and said he thought I should be bringing home at least $5000 a month after taxes until it’s time for us to start having kids. He says I won’t be able to pull my weight between our mortgage payment, car payment, insurance, etc… That he wants to travel and I won’t be able to do that on such a low income.
Obviously as a first year teacher I won’t be making that much money. He has had women use him for money in the past and I think that’s what he’s afraid of. I have went above and beyond to offer to split things so he doesn’t think that’s what I want. I pay rent to him in the house he owns, I pay for all my expenses. Pay for dates by putting my card in ahead of time since he likes to pay for them and steals the check. I only thought of it seriously because he always told me he’d support me in the decision (emotionally). I am miserable with work and can’t keep doing this and am considering still making the career change. WIBTA if I did it?

So I currently use a mixture of Adobe Fresco, Sketchbook and Procreate with my 2018 IPad Pro 12.9. The iPad has been my main drawing device for the last 6 years but recently I have found the iPad is starting to show its age. I used to draw with minimal layers, my art is more akin to Jimbo Phillips and Sketchy Tank(Santa Cruz Skateboards and Lurking Class artists) so never really needed to worry about tons of layers. But now I have gravitated to more complex and larger sized artwork and the iPad isn’t holding up performance wise.
I originally got the iPad to dip my toes into digital art and if it didn’t work out for me well at least then I would have a device for movies, YouTube and surfing the internet. Prior to getting it I never had any experience with pen displays or digital art and wasn’t totally sure if digital art was going to be something I would like and enjoy. I didn’t want to dump money into something that I wasn’t totally sure would fit me. Well fast forward six years and the IPad is the only thing I draw with. Besides doing small tattoo art projects for friends, gone are the days of me using drawing pads, canvases, pencils and markers.
So now it’s time to finally make the jump to a pen display. I want to get away from 13 inch, It’s too cramped for me these days. I have one of my spare rooms setup for my studio so portability isn’t something I’m concerned with and I have optimal space to accommodate a large display. I was thinking of a 22 inch display but I have been watching videos and reading reviews and wasn’t sure which 22 to go with. Like I said I’m new to pen displays so I’m not really sure exactly what makes one of the pen displays better than others. Is getting something a tad bit older and lower in price like the artist 22 or 22r Pro worth it, or should I go for something newer with more recent features?
I’m not a resolution snob so for me 1080p is good, Plus my current 22 inch monitor is 1080p and I enjoy it and it looks plenty good to me. I also cannot for the life of me find any information on if XP Pen displays work with Adobe Fresco and Sketchbook Pro. All I can find is information that’s from four or more years ago and nothing recent. I would like to stick with Adobe Fresco and Sketchbook Pro because I’m used to those and know how to navigate them, but I’m also not against jumping ship and diving into a new program if it means better compatibility. Raster based is totally fine for my sketches but I need something with Vector brushes to finish my art so I can scale it to how ever I need depending on how I will be printing my art, plus Vector brushes and vector art looks slick AF for my style of artwork.
I draw on average about three or four days a week dumping ridiculous hours into my art, so I need something reliable. I would like to stick around the $500 mark but don’t mind jumping up a little to the $700 mark if it means a better experience. So any advice on what display to go with, and any experience you have with those programs using a XP Pen display or programs that are like those that work better with a XP Pen Display would be greatly Appreciated.

Been looking to transition out of teaching as I keep having extreme classrooms with violent behaviour. I may have another job lined up but I’m currently in an LTO until June 28.
I called the union and they said the choice is really mine. I emphasized my eligibility with the possibility of being re-hired or how the process works. They explained they couldn’t give advice on this. I was a bit confused because I thought the least they’d tell me was that I’d be blacklisted and not be able to be rehired.
Anyone have experience with this?

Last game was pretty close and the pacers nearly won if it wasn’t for the last minute mistakes. Went against the spread last game and I think considering how inconsistent the Celtics can be sometimes the spread is too large. What is everybody else thinking?

So my coworker has gotten a death threat around a month ago by TWO other coworkers, and our store director won’t handle it? He said he will talk to HR even again today, yet nothing is being done. Does anyone have a phone number that she can call? How can we go about escalating this

i think i’m really stupid and boring. like shell of a human kind of boring and uninteresting and brainless. i feel uninspired most of the time. i don’t get excited for things, and when i do, i get too excited and end up disappointing myself.
i don’t know anything. i have surface level knowledge about my very few interests, but nothing deep or anything like that. when i share my interests with someone, we always have the same level of information about it, if that makes sense. like i really like undertale, but i don’t have any interesting points or ideas about it that someone else wouldn’t have already discovered or thought of. i think the only thing i actually know more about than the average person is nutrition, which stems from an eating disorder, and i don’t like talking about it with anyone. sometimes i feel like i need to research my few interests more, just so i have a leg to stand on when people ask me about them, but the idea of having to research it makes me feel tired and hopeless before i even try. when i do end up looking into stuff more, it never seems to be enough, or i can’t keep it all in my brain and i forget, and then feel like i don’t really have a right to speak if i don’t know facts.
i don’t like hanging out with my friends one on one because i know they’re going to ask me about my life and i don’t have anything to tell them. i don’t do anything. i wake up, go to work, come home, play minecraft or stardew valley with my boyfriend, or watch youtube, and then sleep.
yesterday, i felt sad that i don’t spend my time doing anything productive or interesting, so i tried to draw, because i used to be really good at it. it felt so forced, i didn’t want to do it, and my skills have greatly decreased, which was so disheartening, even though it’s my own fault for not practicing.
whenever i decide i want to do an activity that is fun or different, there are no options that come to mind. i can’t even think of something cool to do that doesn’t cost money. on weekends, i spend my days trying not to think about food, forcing myself to get 15k steps and go on a run, wondering what i could be doing instead of waiting for mealtimes, and then going to my second job most evenings. sometimes i have an activity on the weekend or even on a weekday evening, but i never actually want to go. what im really looking forwards to is getting home and making tea and watching tv. but i make myself go because ill feel worse if i don’t.
even when im doing things i “like”, for example hiking, im just waiting for it to be over, even though i want to be hiking. or maybe i don’t like hiking, i just like the idea of liking it.
last weekend, i had a trip out to a city near mine to visit my boyfriend. it was really fun and we did some fun things. but when i tell my friends and family about the trip, its like my brain can’t even figure out how to tell them about it in an interesting way. like all i can say is “it was fun, we did lots of stuff and did an escape room”. like i can’t even make a story out of it or anything.
right now im taking a high school chemistry class so that i can go to university to study biology, but i can’t get in without this class. i don’t even think i want to do biology, but its the only thing that seems mildly interesting to me and useful. but im 20 years old taking a grade 12 class, and i can’t even figure it out. it’s so hard and im doing poorly in the class, and its so embarrassing to talk about or tell people. my brother makes fun of me for “still being in high school”. i did graduate when i was supposed to, and i know he’s just being silly, but it still makes me feel bad.
i also don’t know any geography, i often have to ask people what the words they’re using mean, i have NO knowledge of cars even though i work at a company that deals with trucks and car parts and stuff, i have no memorization skills, i only “know” two languages, though im very quickly losing my ability to speak french, and i don’t feel interested in learning anything. its like i don’t have the capacity or desire to absorb information. i can’t sit through a book without feeling restless, or a long video without needing to be on my phone. i have no attention span anymore.

Hi all,
I am brand new to this sub but have been diagnosed with bipolar for over 10 years. It appears that you have a nice little community on here, and I look forward to becoming part of it.
As for this post, the title sums it up. I’ve been “stable” (not psychotic + taking medication daily) for a good 5 months. However, within that timeframe, I haven’t felt “happy” at all. I have bad hours, sometimes bad days- irritable or anxious or flat out miserable… but my negative emotions spring right back up to an apathetic baseline before any mood issues get out of hand.
The apathy is really starting to grind on me. I don’t feel a connection to life and I can’t help but to feel like nothing has any meaningful purpose. My doctor asked me “does there need to be a purpose?” I was like “to some degree, yeah? I think so?” Like what’s the point in going through meaningless motions for a whole lifetime? I have been working with my psychiatrist, but the apathy is still an ongoing issue.
I kinda miss my mood mountains of psychotic mania and even the dark depressions, at least then I felt like a real soul. I’d feel like a valid spirt, regardless of whatever emotional webs I was caught in.
I’m worried I will never be happy or attached to my identity ever again, and even though I know this logic is faulty, I really don’t know what it will take for me to ever transcend this baseline feeling of nothingness.
So here I am, spilling my thoughts on Reddit, because I desperately want to feel, and I just don’t know how 😞
If anyone is willing to share any thoughts they might have, I would welcome any and all responses with open arms. I am desperate for a fresh perspective of any kind. I feel so hollow :/
Thank you for taking the time to read this, obviously nobody has to respond, I just needed to get that out.
Thanks again 💜

Phone hacked for over a year. 4 phones 2 carriers. Now I’m seeing my ex’s browser history along with my ex best friend’s and other weird websites I’ve never visited. He just came to our son’s baseball game affer being confronted about this by me and my dad. Totally unscathed. I flipped out in front of everyone and told him to leave. This is a guy who almost cracked my head open 3 years ago and I had him arrested. I threatened to call the police. He’s on probation and again, isn’t scared. Is denying it. Threatened me with “see you in court”.
Some baseball dad I never saw before just walked by and said “oh no, let’s call the police!!” I said, yeah I said that earlier. Everyone laughed. I’m distraught. I’m literally being trolled by every single person around me all the time. I can’t take it anymore.
HOW is he doing this to my phone, how are others involved. HOW CAN I PROVE IT. It’s his work log ins among other things. Websites I would never visit. Gaming websites our son pointed out and said yep that’s daddy.
Or is it some government spyware that we’re tethered together to that’s malfunctioning.
Been in court for 9 years. My custody case was thrown to the wolves by both of my lawyers. The only thing that has saved it this far is my close attention to detail and his arrest record but I feel like I’m losing and my days are numbered. I dodge entrapments every single day. Including one on here recently. Aaron LeBlanc. Super nice dude, lots of info. “fellow TI”. He turned out to be a private investigator and homeland security.
Please help.

I’m convinced somethings wrong with my thyroid for various reasons. Another indicator is that my grandmother has thyroid issues but hers are actually diagnosed. My mom suspects she does as well, but is running into the same problem as me. I went in for blood work and was told my thyroid was completely fine, but then found out they only test one part of it or something. My mom tried to request testing on the other parts of the thyroid on herself a few years back, and it was never followed through with. I’ve heard so many people struggling to get these tests done because they don’t do any further testing if they don’t see anything wrong in the first thing. I have a phone call with my doctor on Monday, how can I convince him to get my entire thyroid checked?! Also, i’m 17F if that matters!

Hi! It’s already so nice to meet you if you’re here reading this, so why not say hi back in my DM’s!
A bit about me; I’m 6’1, athletic build with short and wavy brown hair, brown eyes and white/ olive skin from Australia!
I enjoy a lot of different things so I’m most likely not limited to this list below but a few of the things that come to mind are; the beach, gym, anime, board and video games, cooking, reading, movie nights in and adventure days out!
Chat to me about anything I’m into or even let me know what you’re into! I love learning new things and enjoy chatting about passions other people have (I just like seeing their eyes light up) but make it fun!
I enjoy meeting people who are witty, flirty and enjoy having banter go back and forth! Be sassy and bold, I like the challenge and will 100% reciprocate! Just make sure you match the energy.
Ultimately I’m looking for great conversations about lots of different things, learning about you and how your days are going! Telling you that you’re cute for over sharing your hobbies with me and playful banter mixed through!
I won’t go into much more detail as that’s the whole point of reaching out! Message me and we can potentially move to discord if we hit it off! Xx

I’ll try to be concise.
I got “saved” when I was a sophomore in HS, got Uber involved in the church, I graduated and immediately got enrolled into a student internship format Theology school. Meaning I was full-time on staff, while both taking classes and working for the church.
I still believe in the encounters that I have had, I believe in the teachings of Jesus, and that’s not necessarily what I’m here to talk about. I would say I have deconstructed and reconstructed to figure out what I need to know, think through, except to be at peace in my own life
I went to a Christian college with a ton of people from that chapter of life are now with churches. the majority of them have accepted a life of a phony where they are one person on front and a totally different person on the inside
I liken it to people who say they’ve been to therapy and they know all the lingo, but there is no evidence in their life of healing or growth
While I know everybody has their vices and their outlets, and the things that they do that are considered sins, but one of the lowest things I think you can do is abuse people spiritually.
Ironically, a TV show like righteous gemstones is way more accurate than you actually think it is, having been on staff at a church for four years, and then going to a Christian college. The institution rules, and nowadays going to a traditional church means you are paying for a membership to a service where you consume and they want your money, vs. Jesus saying things like leave your family, sell everything and follow me.. it doesn’t add up.
I hope to be respectful of everyone’s beliefs here, and I’d ask the same, but regardless of faith; how the hell do you not just give up on people and go live in the woods?

I’m 22F and went on my first Hinge date ever a few months ago and can’t really stop thinking about how my date reacted when I told him I’m a SPED teacher. We are the same age and he was an international student, interning at a fintech startup in the city. I know our careers are pretty different but I didn’t think it mattered that much until he asked what I did for work (I work full-time btw) and he kinda looked… disappointed? I make 44k but I love what I do, and I don’t plan to be in the same job forever anyway. I’m a fresh grad too.
I thought maybe he’d think I would leech off of him, but we didn’t even disclose our salaries AND I offered to pay for the meal. I also bought us dessert (without telling him) since he paid for dinner.
I might just be overthinking but I’ve been feeling insecure about it 🙃

Got to my seat (C+ window) and an older woman (aisle) and her granddaughter (middle seat) were already seated. The granddaughter climbed over her grandma, and the grandma stayed seated and buckled. So clearly—I’m expected to climb over her too, which I was not thrilled about, but thankfully, it was C+!! My backpack strap caught on the middle armrest and I took the edge of the armrest into the back of my thigh where I’m sure I’ll have a sizable bruise now! I guess it’s a good thing I’m not bigger than I am or I’m not sure how any of this would have happened! Also glad this is a 2 hour flight, cause I don’t think my bladder could handle any longer than that, and I would love to avoid having to do that over again!
Is it just me, or wouldn’t it make more sense to board people with mobility issues last? If they have a window seat, it would be a hell of a lot easier for the rest of us to get up and let them in, wouldn’t it? And of course I have a layover in ATL. So waiting to get off last isn’t going to work well for my time frame!

I know I know I get what I deserve. I’ve always suffered with anxiety, but I had a very bad episode about 5-6 years ago that lasted months. Was the worst experience of my life. But it did subside for the most part. I’ve always struggled with using drugs and alcohol through your my life too but this time has gone too far. I recently went on quite the bender for a friends birthday and stayed up two nights in a row drinking heavily and using coke. It was the most horrible comedown and I swore I’m going to change my ways. However a few days have passed and I’m not feeling better at all. Can barely sleep and eat. I’m very worried that this won’t pass and I’ll be stuck feeling like this for a long time. Has anyone had this experience before? Did it eventually pass? And what can I do to make it pass? I’m not currently on any meds and would prefer not to be but this is horrible :(

AM I WRONG? my GF went nuts with my card so I temporarily shut off my card (M26)(F21)
My gf and I have been together for 3 years. She moved in with me. She doesn’t work so yeah she obviously doesn’t pay for anything. She goes to college full time. Which is fine I do provide her with basic essentials but I told her not to spend my money carelessly on stupid things. Just things she needs for school or food or household things. Her parents also send her an additional $200 a month
Whenever we get in an argument, she goes nuts with my credit card. I got a bunch of charges from Victoria Secret, Bath and body works, Lululemon, Target, and a bunch of other shopping centers. She gets really mad whenever we have an argument and she acts like a child and she feels better by spending my money on a bunch of stupid things. She returned half of the useless things she got that afternoon
This is literally how she blows off steam. Spends other peoples money. She told me when she was in high school she ordered $200 worth of Sephora items when she was mad at her parents. I told her to never do that to me and she said she wouldn’t but she did it anyways
I also got sick of this pattern so I temporarily closed the credit card that she had access to and that started a fight when she tried to buy Einstein’s on her campus. She told me that I’m being unreasonable and unfair for cutting her off and I’m being abusive because I closed my credit card which is under my own name. I warned her so many times to stop using my card on senseless purchases especially when she is upset with me and she didn’t stop so I felt like I had no other choice, but to temporarily close my card
I don’t think i’m overreacting. I don’t think I’m being unreasonable especially when I warned her about misusing my money. I don’t think I’m wrong. I’m also posting this on a throwaway and on other relevant subs so I can get a second opinion. I’m deleting my account later today I kind of just want to get this issue sorted out and at this point IDK how to talk to my girlfriend without her getting upset all the time
