I’m just tired of being like this it’s been 2 months of hell and the doctor doesn’t even know what’s going on with me I was perfectly normal and doing good in life and then I just wake up one day and I have hemroids and since that day I can’t pass gas regular I can’t use the bathroom normally it’s just like my digestive system doesn’t work my stomach and intestines make noises even if I just take a sip of water…
I’m just so angry I take miralax everyday to even make it possible to use the bathroom I stay in bed all the time except for 2 to maybe 3 20 minute walks which are the best part of my day but my hemroid gets irritated all the time and stings ☹️ I’m only 21 and just feel like everything’s over I’ve been to the doc so many times he did blood work and found nothing a pelvic ct scan found nothing and now I have to do a colonoscopy but it’s a whole month away
I’m so terrified everyday thinking about what this could be the symptoms are so pronounced I can’t forget about them or ignore them cause my intestines will just cry for mercy constantly when I have to pas has I have to focus on breathing and most of the time use my hand to help has get out… never in my life did I ever think that would be necessary I lost my job cause it hurt too much the first few weeks to work sit or stand I just miss being normal I want to go hangout with my friend and have some drinks I want to go back to work I miss tinkering on cars I miss working out I miss being me 😭
But it just seems like I’m not getting any better what happens if this colonoscopy doesn’t find the problem and I’m stuck like this I’ve tried finding people with similar symptoms but no one has the same problem it seems I’m tired of eating healthy chicken and vegetables everyday is awful I let myself have a soda a day just cause it’s something I can enjoy even video games and YouTube just are so boring now I’m all alone in this I hate my life I want everything back my car my job my health my friends my sense of humor all of it I’ve tried just pretending nothings wrong like I normally do I tried cracking jokes and making light of it but I’m not the funny guy anymore I’m sad quite depressed and cold i don’t smoke weed anymore or drink and fuck I miss it I quit smoking before all of this even started and didn’t ever look back but now I think about it a lot I miss the relaxation working out replaced it but that’s not an option anymore and I did relapse and smoke again but it just made it worse for a few hours I just wish I was okay I wish I could just talk to someone or get a hug is been actual years since I’ve even had a hug no one gives a fuck about me anymore

Got a shipment update notification that said an item that was refunded on Feb 28th was being shipped and refunded. I thought maybe it was a glitch but then the tracking updated further to show it moving on to its next destination, coming from the East Coast and I'm in the Midwest. This morning the tracking updated again (not in the screenshots) to show it at the main distribution hub that's 30 miles from me. I've been trying to contact the seller for 3 days. Messaged them through the original listing, and then for good measure I sent them a message through a new listing for a different item they had just in case it didn't go through because that listing was from back in February. I sent them screenshots to show everything that's going on and I've had no response from them. When it arrives I am going to just mark it return to sender after verifying the tracking information.
The second part, it also shows as being refunded on May 13th. I haven't gotten any funds in my bank. I know it can take a few days so I contacted my bank and they said if it shows up to give them a call and they can reverse the transaction. I definitely got refunded back on Feb 28th.
My question is, has anyone else ever had this happen to them? I am not sure how the seller would have ended up using my address information because I assume the item was sold to somebody else. But that would mean they had to relist it and I would assume a re-listing would remove my information. Also, it would seem really sloppy if they sold it and then sent it out with an old label or didn't verify that the label matched the information of the sale. Is there anything else I should do to protect myself with this aside from marking it return to sender? Since the seller is not responding is this something I should contact eBay directly about just to be safe before I send it back or just go ahead and send it back?

MAIN ISSUE IS GIVEN WITH "‼️‼️" BELOW AND THE FIRST CHEATING EVENT IS GIVEN BELOW IN 🚩🚩🚩
THIS IS JUST BACKGROUND Hi guys, I am going through a dilemma. I (25 F) and my husband (30 M) are both Pakistani and live in the Gulf. We had our paper marriage, aka Nikkah, in 2017 and got married, i.e., moved into his house, in 2019. We've known each other since 2016, and this was a love marriage. My husband went against his parents' wishes to get married to me, whereas my family is very supportive of whatever choices I make.
During COVID, I moved into my parents' house because of my two younger brothers, 15 and 12 at that time, as my parents got stuck in our home country for six months. My husband would spend four days with me and four days with his parents, i.e., peak COVID lockdown in 2020. Since I've known my husband, this is the first time I accidentally found out his phone password, whereas he always insisted on having all of my social media passcodes in the past.
🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩 Anyways, I opened up his Snapchat without any malicious intent to check out his phone to get a few couple photos that we took on his phone, and Snapchat showed memories of last year of the same date. It was with some Filipinos (nothing against them, but where I live, they are usually considered as sex workers). I went and checked the old photos, and I saw that he had pictures with a lot of random women and specifically with his ex-girlfriend in the year 2018. They both had taken a lot of selfies from his sitting very close to each other in bars and even alone in the car, again very close to each other in his arms. I also found out he was asking Filipino their rates for sex work,and he also met one of them in his car and went to meet one in a mall during peak COVID lockdown.
Anyways, I didn't plan to talk to him about it because I was newly wed and didn't want to face consequences, and I thought he might stop on his own. Fast forward a few months later, my parents came back safely, and I moved back into my husband's house with his parents, and this is the time when I first actually started living with them, and within a few weeks, my FIL came to hit me with a shoe when I refused to give him my phone as a punishment for using it so often.
Anyways, things started escalating a lot, and my husband and I were having regular fights because of his parents always crossing boundaries. Then one day, we had a fight, and in the heat of the moment, I accidentally said out about his affairs. So we talked about it, and he said that he met his ex-girlfriend just like a friend as she came back from her home country after a long time, and he was asking for rates of Filipinos for his single friend. When I asked about what did you do with the Filipino you picked up in the car, he said that they just ate shawarmas by the seaside. I was naive and I bought into his narrative, even though I agreed to believe in his story,the uneasy feeling never left to the point where I refuse to have a child with him as I don't think I have a secure future with him.
Due to his parents bickering all the time, I finally snapped back at them, and they made a huge deal out of it and threw me out of the house, and my husband and I both went no contact for one whole year as I demanded a separate house even if I have to face hunger. When we did finally talk again, he convinced me that this won't happen again from his parents' side, and he will start fulfilling my basic rights as a wife, i.e., fulfilling my basic needs, maintaining peace, and protecting.
During this whole time, my father was the one who fulfilled all my basic needs. Anyways, I moved back in with him at the end of 2021, and he did not stay true to his word. He still picks out fights, his parents still shout, scream at me occasionally, and he only gives me a bare minimum monthly allowance, which is not enough for me, and I still have to end up asking my father for money. Please keep in mind I am a university student, and my father pays for all car maintenance, university fees, and essential needs, and the amount that my husband gives me usually goes out in just fuel and a few meals in university.
Anyways, the point is that coming back to his house in 2021 till the end of 2023, we used to constant fights mostly because of his anger issues and just generally being rude and in a bad mood all the time. I had to beg him crying to change his behavior towards me and to be nicer to me when talks, or else I will have no other option than to leave him. He did become nicer for three months until he started being rude again for over daily routine issues until his family was hit by a huge crisis due to his younger brother's fault. That's when he became polite to me again.
‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ THE MAIN ISSUE My main dilemma, after all of these ups downs, I really thought I was seeing some improvement in him, and I was finally feeling optimistic about my future with him, but I guess God has some other plans. He accidentally forgot to lock his phone last month, and I found out he had been texting sex workers again and asking their prices. He was also in contact with a girl, let's call her J, via Snapchat since 2021 till now, and only a few chats were saved in one which he was begging to convince her that I am not his wife rather his sister. Apparently, J saw me and husband out somewhere. I let all of this go again since I thought it's pointless bringing this up as things are now improving. Two weeks after me finding out, I randomly get a dick pic from my husband at 4 am when I was sleeping next to him, and he was awake and came back from a night out with his friends. When I woke up, my husband was asleep; I found it very suspicious since we don't get these kinds of pictures anymore. He forgot to lock his phone again and LO AND BEHOLD he sent the same dick pic to her with me literally sleeping next to him. What fathoms me the most is that how could he not feel any shame with me laying next to him.
Anyways, I talked about it a few days later, and he basically told me that he was trying to check J's loyalty for his friend. Please keep in mind his friend is also married and has 3-4 kids. I asked my husband why did you do it for your friend when you should have understood it the first time I caught you and made an issue out of it, and he said I thought that I would understand him doing all this for a friend, and I should've specifically asked him to stop doing it for his friends if I have such issues. Anyways, a part of me wants to believe his bullshit story, but a part of me knows that he is trying to manipulate me again as I can't even why a person who went against his parents' wishes would literally go out of his way to ruin his marriage. Does he want me to initiate the divorce so that he doesn't get the blame? WTF is it I am so confused, and I would most definitely will never have a child with a person who cheats.

Me, ‘M18’, and my girlfriend, ‘F18’ have been dating for about 3-3.5 months. My girlfriend vapes. She’s been vaping since 8th grade. She doesn’t have her own but she uses her friends everyday. Between every period in school and use to before and after school in the car. In the beginning of our relationship this wasn’t an issue for me, I didn’t care about her like I do now. But now it’s a massive deal. Over the past 1-2 months I’ve asked her countless times to cut down, we’ve had countless arguments about this and every time I felt she wasn’t caring about my opinions. She’s slightly cut down but not close to the point I want her too. Basically just in the car before and after school she stopped. My big issue isn’t with vaping, it’s with addiction. I HATE addictions, they run in my family and they ruin everything, maybe even this relationship. Now last week she messed up. She told 4 lies in less than a week... First, I look at her phone and see she asked one of her friends to meet mid period. I confronted her and told her I don’t want her doing it mid period, but she said she just wanted to go and talk, she wasn’t going to hit anything. I believed her. Dumb me. Next day she texts a different friend to meet in the bathroom. I see the texts, but they’re deleted. Again I confront her, she finally tells the truth and says she met to vape, but she seemed genuinely sorry. I wasn’t as forgiving because by deleting chats she was trying to hide it, but I still brushed it off. Next day, she buys her friend a new vape. I knew about this and she didn’t get it for herself, but idk if she hit it before giving it to her friend, probably, idk though. Anyway when my girlfriend gave it to her friend, her friend gave her her old one that this one’s replacing. By this time I’m not trusting my girlfriend. While at her house, I go over to her room and search her bag because I felt she was hiding something. What do I find? A vape. One that works. I confront her. Again, she says she was going to throw it out for her friend because her friend didn’t want to throw it out… bs. Again, I forgave her and believed her. She wasn’t happy I went through her bag though, and asked that we should take a day break. I saw what she was saying but if every time I look for something I find something, I’m just going to keep looking. Now our day break is done. I ask to talk, I ask her to stop doing it in school, period, altogether. She doesn’t want to. The amount I had to push for her to say ok is actually insane. I pretty much had to give her the ultimatum, me or vaping. I had to practically beg her, get on my knees and beg pretty much for her to not to do it in school. Relationships are 50/50, she should take my feelings into consideration, sometimes over her own opinions. This should not have been this hard. Anyway, later that night she calls me, she admits she has an addiction, she admits she’s been lying. She admits she was going to hit her friends that she got to throw out. She admits everything. She also says she doesn’t want to stop vaping and if I hadn’t given her the ultimatum she wouldn’t have. I’m beyond mad now. She’s been lying to me for months, promising she wasn’t addicted, promising she’d been cutting down. Promising all of this yet most of it was lies. This is two days later and we haven’t talked since, I said we need a break. I’ve asked her to quit and she’s agreed. She says she loves me more than vaping but I honestly don’t know. She’s lied to me so much I don’t know if I can forgive her. I know the reason she lied may be because of her addiction but I don’t care. She wasn’t strong enough or have enough respect for me to not do it so instead she lied and covered it up. I don’t know if she’s lied more then this, probably. I don’t know what to do. Should I break up? Should I forgive? But if I forgive how do I know she won’t lie again? And how do I know she’s not lying now and still doing it in school? I don’t know what to do.
TL;DR : I feel she doesn’t take my feelings into consideration and everything she does she does for herself. She’s lied to me multiple times and she knows how much I hate addictions and how it runs in my family. I don’t know what to do and if I should continue the relationship. I don’t know if I can’t forgive her or trust her ever again.

So was racing sports cars in rookie. Finished a decent race and got a bump in SR. Not enough to promote to D’s but sitting around 2.80s. Moved over to Ovals, where I’m at 2.92 in D’s, raced Charlotte and received +.17 SR bump which should’ve promoted me to C’s.
Here’s the glitch. When the race results came out after the race, I got the typical promotion screen. For D license for sports car. SR is the same 2.92 for ovals. Seemed like it somehow used my oval race’s SR bump and put it towards my sports car SR.
So anyways I have a D license in sports and am still .08 away from C’s in oval. Very weird.

I purchased a used ATV in Missouri from a licensed well known dealership. I went to register it the next day and was told by the DMV that there was a lien on it and needed a lien release form. The dealership never declared this to me during the purchasing process. I paid for it off of my debit card so I have that transaction plus bill of sale and title.
I called the dealership and they told me the lien was paid off but they're still waiting for the release form. Again, I was never told they were waiting for this. Im wondering if I should just wait the predicted 3 weeks for this form, report it to the attorney general, or get a lawyer involved. Or none of the above? Purchase price was 3.5k

Life is not all the best for me right now. I had a job that didn’t fall through after going through the whole process. I been unemployed for months now. Massive student loan debt from my masters. Back at home with parents temporarily. But, they’re are kicking me while I’m down which makes me want to pack it up and live in my car. I’m lonely and want a girlfriend, but that hasn’t been working out for me either. Limited funds to date. I’m just so lost man, everyday feels like a re-run of the same nonsense. I use to be very happy and outgoing in college; I don’t know what happened to me. I don’t feel like myself anymore these past few years. Thanks for hearing me VENT!

I bought my 2020 RAV4 XLE non-hybrid from a rental car company. I've been told that it's completely incompatible with the Toyota app, but I'm not sure if that's because it was originally owned by a rental car company. I've also been told that the XLE should have some sort of connected services.
In the Toyota app, I added the car and I see nothing on the Remote or Status pages. Also, the only subscription option is for Saftey Connect.
Since this is my first and only RAV4, I'm not sure what I'm actually missing. I've read that some updates to the DCM firmware have fixed issues with various problems with connected services. So is that something I should take it to the dealership for? Or am I hopelessly locked out of using the app?

So I started out by going to dinner with a few of my friends. There were like 4 of us. These were all friends I used to go to school with. I was on drugs (some kind of pills I’m not sure) and I ordered 2 drinks which is weird because irl I never drink. Then my ex came in the restaurant, came over to me and said hi and I was like “oh my gosh hi name I was just thinking about you!!!” So she came and sat down with us, but I guess I kind of ignored her to talk to my friends too much and just wasn’t being respectful so she ended up getting offended and left which made me feel bad in the dream but I didn’t do anything about it. During the actual dinner I was basically just talking to my friends but there was a LOT of drama specifically surrounding one friend and her boyfriend, who felt that she was going to cheat on him with her guy best friend. I remember him talking to me a lot about that. When our waiter came back he laughed and told me “you know, you wouldn’t know it from looking at you, but you really have a sweet tooth” and I laughed back and was like “I know!!! It’s crazy!” My friends and I left, and by this time I was really drunk and I was talking to my one friend and my other friends boyfriend who was still talking about this guy he was jealous of. I’m not sure how to explain it but the vibe was VERY MUCH that I was in the process of kinda stealing my friends boyfriend from her. I also accidentally let something slip that made him mad at her and I remember feeling guilty because I felt like I had ruined their relationship (even though we were borderline flirting in the dream, like there was definite interest shown it was weird) then as I was leaving, my friend and I went to walk across the street and all of a sudden this huge bus came out of nowhere and we were like holy shit we gotta RUN so we both ran towards the same direction but it was too close and we had to run another way, she went one way and ended up with creed bratton from the office (literally wtf) and I ran the worst possible way I could’ve chosen and I barely didn’t get hit, I ended up on the other side of the street climbing up a hill of rocks that irl would have collapsed and I probably would’ve been hit anyways. It was TERRIFYING and I was like okay yeah, I’m not going to drink anymore. lol. Then that same friend and I met back up and she drove us back to my house, and in the car I remember thinking I was scared we would drive into a lake, but I had no discernible reason for thinking this. Surprise surprise, we reach my home (which is right next to a river) and before I can fully notice it or process anything, she drives right off a pier into the river. And I was like “MEGAN WTF!!!!” And she just goes “sorry 🤷‍♀️” like it was so normal😭 she opened the door and swam out and I was just hyperventilating in the car which in the dream I thought was weird how I could breathe when realistically the car should have been filled with water. This I guess is where I started to get more conscious because I remember thinking that if this really happened I would NOT handle it well. Eventually somehow i made it to my house, and I went to bed, and in the morning texted my ex and apologized for hurting her feelings and explained everything. I don’t remember anything else, and that’s when i woke up. There were a few minor details like with conversation with my friends and friends boyfriend, but that was like 95% of the dream and i have NO idea what to make of it 😭😭ive never cared too much about dream analyzation, but someone PLEASE tell me wtf any of this means.

Wallahi we are so oblivious to death, living life as if we will be here for eternity.
And when we're reminded about Jahannam, Jannah, the standing, the Sirat and the terrors of the day of Judgement - we see it as something FAR away!
But the MOMENT you die, that's it. Because you're situation in the grave is an indication of what will happen to you on the day of Judgement.
Either you'll enjoy a peaceful and blissful resting until the day of Judgement and subsequently enter Jannah.
Or you will be punished continuously until the day of Judgement and subsequently enter Jahannam IF Allah (swt) doesn't show you mercy.
And the scariest of all? Death does not discriminate nor is it delayed. It could happen this very second, in a few hours or tomorrow.
That's why ‘Uthman Ibn ‘Affan (RA), the great companion, the third caliphate and among the 10 people who were promised Jannah while still ALIVE.
He used to weep until his beard became wet out of fear of the grave.
Allah (swt) said:
"Every soul will taste death, and you will only be given your [full] compensation on the Day of Resurrection. So he who is drawn away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise has attained [his desire]. And what is the life of this world except the enjoyment of delusion."
Surah Ali 'Imran, verse 185
And
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Verily, the grave is the first stage of the Hereafter. If one is saved from it, whatever comes after will be easier for him. If one is not saved from it, whatever comes after will be harder for him. I have never seen anything more frightening than the grave.”
Sunan al-Tirmidhī 2308
So strive towards rectifying yourself. Make a habit of asking yourself every day, wether the state you're in is suitable for death.
If the answer is yes, continue upon that path and ask Allah for steadfastness.
If the answer is no, then hasten towards repentance and strive in the path of Allah (swt)!

I turned 30 recently and like a lot of people it's been a weird one for me. I've felt some angst, anxiety over such a big milestone and been very reflective on my life so far. I decided to load up Runescape and as soon as the login music hit, it felt like I was having an out of body experience, I entered into a trance where it felt like 20+ years of RuneScape associated memories and feelings came flooding back to me.
For a brief second I felt that feeling of wonder and curiosity just like when I first started playing the game as a 9/10 year old in 2004. Me and my friends all became hooked to this larger than life games. I remember the memories of wandering around Lumbridge or Varrock taking in every interaction or NPC. We would all discuss the game on the school playground and we would recall stories of dragons and demons lurking around in the wildy. Ways to make the oh so elusive gold coin. Going to a friend's house and see their older siblings who had full rune traversing unknown lands like Karijma and looking up to them as role models as were only pesky level 20s. Flooded with memories of playing the game organically, killing 3000 cows for 3k cowhides and selling them in Al-Kharid bank for 100 gp to any of the dozens of people stuffed into each bank on each world. All so I could finally afford a rune scimitar. I would occasionally stop off at the Al-Kharis scimitar or plateleg shop to window shop. Checking sal's realms calculators in-between cow's to determine how many I needed to kill for x attack lvl.
As many of my friends stopped playing into high school, my passion for the game became stronger. I became absorbed in the RuneScape world and often used it as an escape or a crutch. The feelings of warmth and comfort the game provided me when I had a crappy day at school or at home or just being a hormonal teenager. I had friends on the game who I would talk to about life and growing up for 6+ hours a day, they knew more about my life than my IRL companions. The feeling of joy on a Saturday morning when you saw your best friend log on for a day of fishing lobsters in Karijma or cutting yews in Seers together as you both chased a 99. I'll never forget the conversations and friendships I made. I have specific memories etched in my head from 15+ years ago that make me smile like farming hellhounds for clues with my friends or meeting new friends while skill training.
I feel like a lot of people who still play this game are probably at a similar age to me and have a similar story. It's amazing how Runescape has touched so many people across the world of all different backgrounds. I lost constant with my final RuneScape friend who I knew since 2008 last year and I find myself scrolling down my friends list wondering what happened to the others. I don't get the same joy or rush of excitement when I log onto RuneScape nowadays, nor have I for the past 10 years but I still find myself coming back for stints of years or months or even weeks. I feel sad when I look back on how populated the game felt, you would always encounter a fellow player on your travels or at the local bank. Now, it feels soulless a lot of the time. I have little interaction and often play alone or feel isolated. .
I haven't played this game as consistently as I used to but I think I will now. Something about being flooded with all of those emotions and memories has made me realise what an importance Runescape has in my life. Besides my parents, it might have been the most stable constant in my life.. I've spent 20 years walking down the same paths in Varrock, killing the same monsters and grinding the same skills. It might be bizarre to someone else but to me it's completely normal

Good morning everyone. Premarket yesterday, man, AMC was 13 and GME was 80! I was even hoping that I could get 12 puts and 75 dollar puts with July Expiration. A few minutes in, both stocks were already at their highs, I did not even put in a bid for AMC… I put in a bid for GME but it quickly fell below the 60 strike.
I do not blame anyone for trading hot money..
All I say is know the facts, so that you can plan an exit strategy and be prepared for anything.
I warned that AMC as a company is worth about 800 million. [In 2019 when there were 100 million shares, the stock was 7-10!!! By the way!]
GME is worth closer to 700 million. [For many years it was worth 1 billion or less and they were a growing company!]
I don’t hate on the company… I hate that they are crap companies! Those are the facts!
I want everyone to make money, always! I just don’t want anyone lied to… I don’t want someone brainwashing anyone with junk!
AMC has authorization for 550 million shares
GME has authorization for 1 billion shares
AMC 2 days ago on Meme Monday sold 72.5 million shares at an avg of 3.45 for about 250 million dollars [Utilizing the at the market]
AMC yesterday agreed with a bond holder to convert 23.3 million shares for about 7 dollars to extinguish 164 million in debt.
You may think Adam is a bum, or doing AMC wrong…
What people do not understand is that he is doing what is best for the company to survive.. He is taking advantage of retail who is over pumping a stock!
8/6/2022 before APE and when AMC was near 30 I did this video!

You need a company to stay in business if you want to keep trading the stock…
The stock price has 0 to do with the company. The stock price is shows the exit price of someone that has the stock and wants to move it…
A stock is a currency for a company when they do not have cash…
The stock market exists as a way for a company to get cash and for insiders to exit!!!
A stock was not created so traders can make money!
You need to come to this understanding.

Also, 90% of times a company does not need a vote to dilute shareholders thru a convertible bond… You must do DD and check each bond to see if they have a convertible option to swap for shares.. This is your job, not mines! Chances are when a company is in trouble they will do this, especially if they are out of ATM [At the market] AMC has about 355 million shares as of now, trust me, if the stock is hot they will do their best to unload the rest of the 200 million on retail… This is not up to AMC!
This is up to the bond holder!
You see, the bond holder agreed to 23.3 million shares at about 7 dollars. Now they are holding the bag! They will need the Apes to bid it up and hope to be able to unload the 23.3 on everyone…They will need a lot of volume…. When volume dries up, they will be stuck! No bond holder or person would want to agree to take tons of shares of something if they can not unload it. [Liquidity]
This should show you how dumb Ryan Cohen is… He is falling asleep at the wheel.
He has had authorization for 1 billion shares since March of 2022 and these pumps are when you unload to get cash… It is a crippling business… One where they only made a profit by firing people and cutting costs, this is not sustainable…
This is obvious as sales are at a 16 year low…. For the year sales were down 12% and for the quarter 20%! A Christmas quarter! WHAT A DISASTER!
FACTS! Once you have the facts, you do you….
Yeah, I understand people hate me, I am banned everywhere, this is what I get for trying to educate people that just want to get rich quick without knowing the facts!
So you trade and do what is comfortable for you. If you are making money ignore everyone! Just keep stacking! I want people to make money..
I just hate when people are scammed/lied to.

I forgot yesterday morning. I had an order to buy DNUT at 12… It hit by end of day… I am also in 13.55.. These buys were because of a MCD roll out… Without an expected slow roll out by 2026 no way I would buy it! I checked weeks ago and the earnings are shakey. I checked the financials yesterday… They are ok, but 2-3 bad quarters and they are in trouble.. The sales are slowly growing 5-10% but they are just getting by, so a few bad quarters… But I want anyone that reads to follow my thesis and see why…
I don’t buy and pray… No hopium… Some people like to roll the dice… they should just say they are taking the risk..

I was a super bull on ZIM as it was 9 dollars because I could clearly see containers over 2,000. I posted DD on it… That was not risky to me! Especially under 10. GME and AMC is a pure gamble, you can make money but be prepared to lose it too.
I wish that retail could buy better quality stocks and that we could all make money safely… but I do not have that power…. They think Ryan Cohen, Adam Aron and Keith Gill are heros… people like who they like, trade what they will trade.. but when you shoot up a stock of a company in ruis

EXPECT!

Insiders to dump their own stakes. [Ryan is really dumb this way]

The company itself to dilute shareholders for money

Youd do it too!

PSEC Chairman and CEO who owns 65 million shares of the company. Who has had 0 salary for years goes in and buys 800,000 shares for 5.48 on May 10^th. This is right after earnings. That shows skin in the game.. yes, it is just 4.5 million dollars, but these were not vested options/warrants [Adam Aron never uses his own cash, its free shares!!] Insiders at PSEC own 30% of the company! SKIN IN THE GAME!
Yes, I wish retail would take PSEC to 6.25-6.50 fair value, and I do get frustrated when they buy junk like CVNA but I do not have the power.. CVNA insiders dumping left and right. I believe the CEO has sold over 300 million worth of CVNA over the last 90 days! 17% growth at CVNA, decent! But the company is worth at most, 20! AT MOST! There is a ton of risk!

5 Trade Ideas:
ACMR YOU – Both of these companies scored a 99 on my grading score for earnings. I have 1 block of ACMR at 25.45 and do not mind trading another block… No position in YOU , last trade was 17.50 to 18

PSEC – I have 2,000 shares at 5.50 and 2,000 at 5.90. I would like to trade these in blocks for 10-15 cents each, earnings were good, not great, but you wont get great from a BDC company, I have also been getting my 6 cent monthly dividend

CVS – I will keep trading this, fair value is near 70… I have a block at 84 from 2/2023 unfortunately…. Last trade 54.75 to 56

PERI – They will be coming to the auction, before the end of the month and will use the 75 million by June 30^th. I also have a block at 21.. But I will keep trading blocks

DNUT – I am in at 12 and 13.55, 1,000 shares each. I would like to make 25-50 cents on each trade, so I hope 12.25… My buys were strictly on the MCD roll out. I am in belief that with MCD sales will be up at least 25% when it is completed

Wallahi we are so oblivious to death, living life as if we will be here for eternity.
And when we're reminded about Jahannam, Jannah, the standing, the Sirat and the terrors of the day of Judgement - we see it as something FAR away!
But the MOMENT you die, that's it. Because you're situation in the grave is an indication of what will happen to you on the day of Judgement.
Either you'll enjoy a peaceful and blissful resting until the day of Judgement and subsequently enter Jannah.
Or you will be punished continuously until the day of Judgement and subsequently enter Jahannam IF Allah (swt) doesn't show you mercy.
And the scariest of all? Death does not discriminate nor is it delayed. It could happen this very second, in a few hours or tomorrow.
That's why ‘Uthman Ibn ‘Affan (RA), the great companion, the third caliphate and among the 10 people who were promised Jannah while still ALIVE.
He used to weep until his beard became wet out of fear of the grave.
Allah (swt) said:
"Every soul will taste death, and you will only be given your [full] compensation on the Day of Resurrection. So he who is drawn away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise has attained [his desire]. And what is the life of this world except the enjoyment of delusion."
Surah Ali 'Imran, verse 185
And
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Verily, the grave is the first stage of the Hereafter. If one is saved from it, whatever comes after will be easier for him. If one is not saved from it, whatever comes after will be harder for him. I have never seen anything more frightening than the grave.”
Sunan al-Tirmidhī 2308
So strive towards rectifying yourself. Make a habit of asking yourself every day, wether the state you're in is suitable for death.
If the answer is yes, continue upon that path and ask Allah for steadfastness.
If the answer is no, then hasten towards repentance and strive in the path of Allah (swt)!

I am losing my mind. We have lived in our home for over 28 years and have NEVER had this problem. All of a sudden this school year two mothers are driving their MIDDLE SCHOOL aged sons to the bus stop and sitting on our lawn directly in front of our windows (unfortunately we are only about 8-10 feet from the street). One of them parks right over our walkway so lucky we don't get the newspaper anymore since they wouldn't deliver it with her there. They both sit there idling while both of their delicate middle school sons sit in the car. The bus stop is across the street on the opposite corner. My front yard is NOT the bus stop. These two boys (I use that term loosely) don't even get out of the cars until the bus has come down the hill, stops and opens the doors and then the driver has to wait for them to both get out of the car and walk to the actual stop. Are you serious??? Why are you parking in front of my house? I can't even look out the window in the morning because all I see are these two mommies feet away? Where is our right to privacy? Why in the world are middle school boys being driven to the bus stop? They don't get picked up in the afternoon so it's not that these mommies are worried about kidnapping. Very safe neighborhood by the way. Why not just drive them to school? They idle there for at least 10 minutes so they could very easily drop them off at school instead of sitting in front of my house. One of them actually turns around and drives back to her house so it has nothing to do with having to go to work. No wonder many of the men these days are a bunch of pansy boys walking around with their pajamas on and living in mommie's basement. I finally snapped this morning and went out and told her to get off of my lawn and my walkway and she just rolled her window up. I'll tell you I could have killed that big nosed bitch. Don't people have any rights anymore or are we supposed to pander to all these snowflake mothers who won't cut the umbilical cord. Does anyone else have this problem?

TLDR: Boomer grandma cancels existing plans on a whim and manipulates her way into a family day, making it about her behavior, instead of recognizing my wife on Mother's Day.
I (M47) live about an hour from my parents. With Mother's Day in the US last weekend, I try to plan things out so that we get to see my parents and also recognize my wife for being a wonderful mom. So the plan for weeks was that we would visit my mom on Saturday so she could see the grandkids at a local festival with rides games and music. Sunday was going to be family stuff here in town for my wife.
A little background: My parents don't care much for my wife. My dad has called her a gold-digger and lazy, asked why she does not have dinner ready for me when I get off work, etc. We've already discussed that, "If I'm happy, and I'm telling you I'm happy, then you have no business poking into how we run our home." My wife is not lazy or a gold digger, but she is neuro-spicy in several ways, and some days the ADHD does not let her get much done despite her wanting to. My sister had kids much earlier than I did with her kids being in their 30's, and mine are in elementary schhool. My parents don't understand why we won't leave the kids with them for a week during the summer, but my parents are elderly and unable to do basic things like pick the kids up if there was an accident or emergency. Mom had a stroke and has difficulty speaking clearly, and dad is a heart transplant pattient. They also don't parent the same we we do. My dad wants things done the way he wants and when he wants, or he yells, and we are trying to break generational traumas, lol. Not to mention that riding in a car with my dad driving is taking a gamble with your life.
On Friday night I call to finalize plans because we need to drive an hour there and an hour back. I tell Mom that my wife has a job in the afternoon so we will be there from about 8 AM to noon. Everyone agrees to the final plan. Then I get a text an hour later. "We have decided we are not going tomorrow". I ask if everything is okay, and I'm told everything is fine.
The next morning, my nephew texts that he is in town and wants to know if we are free. I'm nervous because he is staying with my parents, but he's a cool kid. so I tell him our plans to have a family day for Mother's Day but he's welcome to join us for lunch. He replies, "Great! Grandma and I will be there." Shit.
So, my mom canceled the plans we had because she wanted more time with the grandkids (which makes no sense). Then she used my nephew as her flying monkey to find out when and where we were doing our family things so she could stomp in and make it about her. I called and explained that there were some hurt feelings from Saturday but that I expected good behavior and Mother's Day lunch was not the time to bring it up and discuss it.
This was a local place that makes like 20 different types of amazing tacos. Mom hated it. We were polite and put on a happy face, talked, and left. The grandkids were not in a mood for hugs and we have never been the type of parents who force kids to give hugs. We don't like taking their autonomy away like that. I hugged Mom because she's my mom. Then she went to hug my wife, who accepted, but stood stiff and did not reciprocate, and turned around to load the kids in the car.
I simply don't understand the manipulative behavior, and the need to make it all about them. I know I should have Stood my ground and told her she was not welcome to come, but it's difficult when your mom is crying on the phone. She is a more manipulative person than I gave her credit for.

Hi, ever since my CarPlay seemed to have gotten a new update, text message notifications no longer are pushed.
On my Driving Focus, I have my allowed contacts assigned, but their messages are being muted. I haven’t changed any settings recently, I only noticed that an update occurred last night. Since then, I haven’t gotten a push notification for text messages from my allowed contacts under any of my Focus Status’s. I even tried to turn on “Announce Notifications” for text messages.
In the past, no matter which screen I was on while in the car, if I were to get a text message it would notify me and I would have the option to press the notification. Now the only way to know if I received a message is if I leave the Messages screen open which is hard because I need to look at Maps often.
I wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this recently or if anyone knows a fix? I’ve tried troubleshooting using methods previously mentioned on here, but I haven’t had any luck.

When does it make sense to go for a WRX over an STi? Like what made you choose the WRX over the STi?
I’m 26, currently saving for a new car. I’m kinda debating between the STi, WRX, or the Focus RS. I know each of those are pretty unique in their own right. The RS is in the mix because I owned a focus ST and I love that eco boost platform a lot, but still not 100% sure if that’s the car I love.
I’ve driven the RS as my buddy owns one, still have yet to test drive the WRX and STi. I’m just not quite there with the money yet so I don’t wanna get myself emotional about the cars quite yet.
As far as what I’m looking for - I’m just looking for a car that I’m going to own for a long time. I have a work van as well as another vehicle, so it would definitely not be a daily driver and more of a here and there/weekend/road trip up in the mountains kind of car. I would still like it to be reliable and I know subies can be if they’re not modded to hell and beat on…as with any car. I don’t plan on heavily modifying…if at all honestly. I had FBO on my ST besides an upgraded turbo and honestly modded and tuned was fun, but it’s also so much more added headache. So probably wouldn’t do much past a catback for a good while before even considering mods.
Things that matter most - well handling, fun, connected driving experience, raw feeling, looks, sound, and I don’t want to choose a car and then months later be wishing I got the other one lol. No plans for track use or anything similar.
I know I need to test drive all of them and it’ll really come down to that. I just wanted to get owners opinions who maybe chose the WRX over the STi, STi over the RS, etc. and why?
And then maybe if anyone chose a 5spd WRX over an STi as well?
Thanks guys, sorry for the long post!
