2024.05.14 03:33 Adventurous-Ear9433 Healing properties of Bells in Cathedrals, Parasitic Entities, significance of Tritone suppression & how it effects us

Serpent-headed when the glamour was lifted but appearing to man as men among men. Crept they into the Councils, taking forms that were like unto men. Slaying by their arts the chiefs of the kingdoms, taking their form and ruling o'er man. Only by magic could they be discovered. Only by sound could their faces be seen. Sought they from the Kingdom of shadows to destroy man and rule in his place. But, know ye, the Masters were mighty in magic, able to lift the Veil from the face of the serpent, able to send him back to his place -Thoth, the Great Wise
Remember Venom, the parasitic alien life form that is attached to spiderman & a massive church bell isused to get rid of em? Venom was basically an Archon that the gnostics & Thoth talk about.

If zero-point energy machines were developed on the biological model of the caduceus coil and central ion channel then our energy generation could actually enhance human evolution rather than harming ourselves and the planet as it does now. Similarly if we construct superconducting solar architecture with a monoatomic lattice in manmade stone, then the energy emanating from this energy generator will also enhance the consciousness of life around it

No, You Beg - 2021 article from The Cut about the difficulty in adopting in the COVID era
Another copied article to keep in reserve. It's an odd article from the pandemic, recounting the boom in rescue adoptions. It is a fairly pointless article in that it uses some really shifty rescuers, including Pixies and Paws, as sources, brightly highlights a bioethicist who uses her own foolish adoption of two pit bull mixes as evidence that most people shouldn't own dogs, and chronicles but fails to understand the loathing rescuers have for adopters. It does, however, wonderfully illustrate how rapidly the good times ended in rescue. Anyone reading the the current "we've never been so overwhelmed with dogs" rescue laments should know that there's a link between today's problems and yesterday's reckless opportunism.
The "bioethicist"
“I think it’s probably true that the majority of people who want to adopt a dog should not,” Jessica Pierce, a bioethicist who studies human-animal relationships, tells me. “They don’t have the wherewithal and don’t have what they need to give the animal a good life.” She herself ended up with two pets that didn’t get along at all — a herding mix and a pointer mix whose constant fighting made the idea of hosting a dinner party both perhaps “bloody” and definitely “scary and miserable.” She says shelters shouldn’t “drive away potentially loving and appropriate adopters because they don’t meet predetermined criteria,” but she also sees the importance of a thorough application process that prepares humans for the pitfalls of pet parenthood. “You need to be ready to have a dog who doesn’t like people very much,” says Pierce. When Bella, the 11-year-old she got from the Humane Society, dies, she’s not sure she will get a replacement, noting that the pandemic puppy boom is “driven by a reflection of human narcissism and neurosis.”
However, this is a fantastic truth long overdue for the telling.
“I started to talk to shelter leaders across the country,” Cushing says. “And one by one, they said any adoptable dog without a medical issue is gone by noon on Saturday. But the public didn’t know that. Only the dog seekers and the experts did.”

Jack, adopted by Tori and Paris through In Our Hands Rescue.
It was a rainy Sunday in June, and Danielle had fallen in love.
The 23-year-old paralegal spent the first part of her afternoon in McCarren Park, envying the happy dog owners with their furry companions. Then she stumbled upon an adoption event in a North Brooklyn beer garden, where a beagle mix being paraded out of the rescue van reminded her of the dog she grew up with, Snickers. It all felt like fate, so she filled out an application on the spot. She was then joined by her best friend and roommate, Alexa, in sitting across from a serious-looking young woman with a ponytail who was searching for a reason to break her heart.
Danielle and Alexa were confident they would be leaving with Millie that day: After all, they had a 1,000-square-foot apartment within blocks of McCarren and full-time employment with the ability to work from home for the foreseeable future. But the volunteer kept posing questions that they hadn’t prepared for. What if they stopped living together? What if Danielle’s girlfriend’s collie mix didn’t get along with her new family member? What would be the solution if the dog needed expensive training for behavioral issues? Which vet were they planning to use?
All of which, upon reflection, were reasonable questions. But when it came to the diet they planned for the dog, they realized they were out of their depth. Danielle recalled that Snickers had lived to 16 and a half on a diet of Blue Buffalo Wilderness, the most expensive stuff that was available at her parents’ Bay Area pet store. “Would you want to live on the best version of Lean Cuisine for the rest of your life?” sniffed the volunteer with a frown. She would instead recommend a small-batch, raw-food brand that cost, when they looked it up later, up to $240 a bag. “If you were approved, you’d need to get the necessary supplies and take time off from work starting now,” the dog gatekeeper said. “And the first 120 days would be considered a trial period, meaning we would reserve the right to take your dog back at any time.” The would-be adopters nodded solemnly.
The friends rose from the bench and thanked the volunteer for her time. Believing they were out of earshot, the volunteer summed up the interview to a colleague: “You just walked by, and you’re fixated on this one dog, and it’s because you had a beagle growing up, but you want to make your roommate the legal adopter?”
When Danielle and Alexa were young, one could still show up at a shelter, pick out an unhoused dog that just wanted to have someone to love, and take it home that same day. Today, much of the process has moved online — to Petfinder, a.k.a. Tinder for dogs, and various animal-shelter Instagram accounts that send cute puppy pics with heartrending stories of need into your feed and compel you to fill out an adoption application as you sit on the toilet. Posts describing the dogs drip with euphemisms: A dog that might freak out and tear your house up if left alone is a “Velcro dog”; one that might knock down your children is “overly exuberant”; a skittish, neglected dog with trust issues is just a “shy party girl.” Certain shelters have become influencers in their own right, like the L.A.-based Labelle Foundation, which has almost 250,000 Instagram followers and counts Dua Lipa and Cara Delevingne among its A-list clients. Rescue agencies abound, many with missions so specific that you could theoretically find one that deals in any niche breed you desire, from affenpinschers to Yorkshire terriers.
This deluge of rescue-puppy content has arrived, not coincidentally, during a time of growing awareness of puppy mills as so morally indefensible that even Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could draw fire for seemingly buying a purebred French bulldog in early 2020. Then came the pandemic puppy boom, a lonely, claustrophobic year in which thousands of white-collar workers, sitting at home scrolling through their phones, seemed simultaneously to decide they were finally ready to adopt a dog. The corresponding demand spike in certain markets has simply overwhelmed the agencies: New York shelters that were used to receiving 20 applications a week were now receiving hundreds, with as many as 50 people vying for a single pup.
The rescue dog is now, indisputably, a luxury good, without a market pricing system at work to manage demand. A better analogy might be an Ivy League admissions office. But even Harvard isn’t forced to be as picky as, say, Korean K9 Rescue, whose average monthly applications tripled in 2020.
And yet someone has to pick the winners — often an unpaid millennial Miss Hannigan doling out a precious number of wet-nosed Orphan Annies to wannabe Daddy Warbuckses and thus empowered to judge the intentions and poop-scooping abilities of otherwise accomplished urban professionals, some of whom actually did go to Harvard.
This has led to some hard feelings. Every once in a while, someone will complain on Twitter about being rejected by a rescue agency, and it will reliably set off a cascade of attacks on “entitled rich white millennials assuming they can have whatever they want,” followed by counter-attacks on those who “appoint themselves the holy sainted guardian of all animals.” Danielle was ultimately deemed unworthy, not even receiving a generic rejection letter over email. After all, there isn’t really that much incentive for the rescue agencies to be polite these days.
The modern animal-rescue movement grew alongside the child-welfare movement in the mid-19th century. It got another boost in the years following World War II, when Americans were moving out to the suburbs in droves, according to Stephen Zawistowski, a professor of animal behavior at Hunter College. Suddenly, there were highways, yards, and space. Walt Disney was making movies about children and dogs that promoted the idea that no new home was complete without a loyal animal companion. (Zawistowski said that one might call this the Old Yeller Effect, but there were various riffs on the same theme over the ensuing decades. Essentially, Flipper was “Let’s put Lassie in the water.”)
In the early ’80s, University of Pennsylvania researchers confirmed the effects that animal companionship has on everything from blood pressure to heart conditions to anxiety. Pets were no longer just how you taught Junior to be responsible; they might be critical to maintaining adults’ physical and mental health. The way people spoke about animals started changing. The idea that “homeless” dogs were sent to the “pound” because they were “bad” went out of fashion. “Suddenly, you had ‘rescue’ dogs brightly lit in the mall,” says Ed Sayres, a former president of the ASPCA who now works as a pet-industry consultant. “Basically, we gave animals a promotion.” Meanwhile, in the late ’80s, spay and neuter procedures had been streamlined and were being recommended by vets as well as by Bob Barker on The Price Is Right.
Then came The Ad. Released in 2007, it featured close-ups of three-legged dogs and one-eyed cats rescued by the ASPCA over a wrenching rendition of Sarah McLachlan’s “Angel.” The commercial warned that “for hundreds of others, help came too late.” In just a year, the ad raised 60 percent of the ASPCA’s annual $50 million budget. The organization was reportedly able to increase the grant money it gave to other animal-welfare organizations by 900 percent in ten years. It is difficult to overstate the emotional hangover The Ad inflicted on millennials and members of Gen Z. Janet M. Davis is a historian at the University of Texas at Austin, where she lectures on animal rights to a demographically diverse body of students — everyone from cattle ranchers to vegan punks — most of whom cry when she shows The Ad in class. “It absolutely brings down the house,” she says. “Every time.”
Theoretically, the point of dog adoption is that there are more dogs born into the world than there are humans lined up to care for them. But as interest grew, the supply problem became less acute. Thanks to widespread spay and neuter policies, there are simply too few unwanted litters for what the adoption market wants.
National chains like PetSmart partnered with local shelters to supply its animals for sale. Savvy rescues in dog deserts like New York hooked up with shelters in the Deep South, where cultural attitudes toward spaying and neutering pets are much more lax. While there is no official registry of how many shelter dogs are available in the U.S., in 2017, researchers at the College of Veterinary Medicine for Mississippi State University published a study reporting that the availability of dogs in animal shelters was at an all-time low. “That is,” says Sayres, “an environment that leads to a kind of irrational, competitive behavior.” The rescue mutt had become not just a virtue signal but a virtue test. Who was a good enough human being to deserve a dog in need of rescuing?
Heather remembers the old easy days. “I went on Craigslist and an hour later, I had a puggle,” she says of her first dog-getting experience with her boyfriend in college. George the puggle humped everything in sight, shed everywhere, and chewed through furniture until the end of his life, but she loved him all the same.
Flash-forward 16 years: She and that boyfriend are married, have two kids, and can’t seem to get a new dog no matter what they try. Yes, she could find a breeder easily online (currently for sale on Craigslist: a Yorkie-poo puppy from a breeder asking $350 and just a few screening questions). But instead, in the middle of the pandemic, “I was sending ten to 12 emails a night and willing to travel anywhere, and no one would give us any sort of animal,” she remembers. Shelters would send snappy emails about how her family wasn’t suited for a puppy, even though they made good money and had clearly cared for their dearly departed George — they once drove three hours to get the dog a specially made knee brace. “I was trying to be really up front with people and would say that my daughter has autism and that I have a 3-year-old, and they would say no. It felt like they were saying, ‘We don’t give dogs to people who have disabilities.’ ”
It didn’t matter what kind of dog she applied for — older, younger, bigger, smaller — there was always an official-sounding excuse as to why her family wasn’t suitable. (“Pups this age bite and jump and scratch and while they are cute to look at, they are worse than a bratty ADHD toddler, without diapers,” one rescue wrote. “Sorry.”) She considered looking at emotional-support animals that work specifically with autistic youth but found out they could cost 18 grand and require a two-year waiting period. She couldn’t stomach the idea of setting up a GoFundMe, as other people in the community had. “It got to the point of me wondering, Okay, so what dogs do children get?” she recalls. “I always thought that dogs and children go together.” By the fall of 2020, Heather had turned back to breeders. “People get a little spicy when you say you paid for a dog. You want to scream that you tried your hardest, but it wasn’t possible,” she says.
Others, like Zainab, figured out ways to work the system. She blanketed agencies with applications in the early months of the pandemic, applying for 60 dogs. (The ease of applying online might also explain the statistics.) She thought the fact that she had a leadership role in public education would demonstrate that she was both successful and nurturing. “I’m a professional, I make good money, and I have a master’s degree,” she tells me. She was rejected all the same. Finally, a co-worker suggested Zainab make a résumé in order to stand out. The multipage document — which features testimonials from high-powered friends, including local elected officials — is what got her an exclusive meeting with Penny the pug in a parking lot. She was handed over with a leash tied around her neck and vomited in the front seat of Zainab’s car about three blocks later. Success!
Or take Lauren, who’d had dogs all her life and found living solo during COVID lonely. “You can’t be without an animal at this particular time,” she told herself. So she started applying for dogs on Petfinder and boutique-rescue websites. “I would look up at my clock, and it would be two in the morning,” she says. Her hopes were high when she got a meeting with a Chihuahua mix in the suburbs named Mary Shelley. Lauren thought the meeting went well, but it ultimately didn’t result in the interviewer granting the adoption. “Then I was in conspiracy-theory mode, thinking she doesn’t like gay people, or single people, or people who live in the city,” she says. “It was a crazy-making experience. It’s a pandemic, so your world is already turned upside down, but I became psychotic.
“The people who run rescue organizations — this was their moment to shine,” she adds. “Even though they were totally bogged down with requests, they got to feel the power. They got to make someone’s dreams come true or smash them to the ground.”
The inquiries can get extremely personal. “I found the questions very offensive,” says Joanna, a Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center nurse who tried to adopt last year with her architect husband. “I was like, ‘What does this have to do with getting a dog?’ ” Her husband didn’t even want to put the thought out into the universe, but he was forced to admit that he’d probably be the one to take a shared pet in the event of a divorce. The two also had to grapple with what would happen if one or both of them died of COVID during the pandemic. And would both of them be able to take three days off at a moment’s notice to help the dog acclimate to its new home? “I was frank with her and said, ‘I take care of cancer patients,’ ” says Joanna. “She was very unsatisfied with our answer.”
“The more popular the rescue is on the internet, the more clout they have,” says Molly, a writer in New York. “If you have a really good social-media presence, you can throw your weight around.” (The clout goes both ways: Posting about your rescue dog on Instagram is an indirect way of broadcasting that someone out there deemed you morally worthy enough to be chosen.) She inquired about eight dogs in six weeks from about five different rescues, only to be continually rejected. She finally got an interview with a rescue agency whose cute dogs she had seen on social media. They asked to tour her apartment over Zoom. Fine. They asked for her references. Great. But then they asked if she would pay for an expensive trainer. She asked if she could wait — not only was it during the height of COVID, but the cost of the sessions with the trainer could be close to $1,000. The person she was dealing with said over email that dogs were investments and suggested she look elsewhere. “I was like, This is so Brooklyn,” she says.
Still, others wished the warning about trainers had been more explicit. At the height of the pandemic, Steven remembers scrolling through social-media post after social-media post saying things like “URGENT: NEED TO FIND THIS GUY A HOME” while “picturing this dog on a conveyor belt going toward this whirring saw. And meanwhile I am screaming at my phone, ‘I applied and you turned me down!’ ”
But after securing a dog, he came to believe the process, while tough on the human applicants, wasn’t tough enough when it came to the dog’s needs. Right off the bat, Cooper was very hyper and mouthy when playing. “We were doing the thing that everyone does, like, posting pics: ‘We’re at the park, isn’t this fun, hahaha,’ ” he says. But the reality was much less Instagram-worthy. Cooper became difficult to handle, especially in a small New York apartment; mouthiness escalated to gnashing his teeth and guarding food. “It’s embarrassing, and I hate having to tell people we had to give the dog back,” he says. (So much so that Steven requested a pseudonym for himself and for Cooper.) “To be frank, the experience we had with the dog was pretty traumatic. If this volunteer had felt so powerful, I wish that they had said we wouldn’t be able to handle this dog.” Although Steven’sInstagram is replete with photos of other friends’ dogs, evidence of Cooper’s existence has disappeared from the account.
The rescue-dog demand has also been stressful for the overwhelmed (and overwhelmingly volunteer) workforce that keeps the supply chain running. On a recent Saturday, Jason was speeding toward JFK airport in a windowless white van covered in graffiti. Though he was on his way to help rescue dogs, he is the first to admit he’s not the biggest fan of the animals. “I just need something to do,” he says. “I was going crazy sitting around the house.” His friend, who was employed at a rescue, recommended him for an unpaid gig. Prior to the pandemic, he managed an Off Broadway play in the city. The 34-year-old, who is athletically built with a shaved head, has a compulsive need to be coordinating a production, and getting dogs to New York City from a different continent is definitely that.
Many of the city’s rescue dogs come from other parts of the world these days, brought over by volunteers who take them through a complicated Customs process. This is part of what Pet Nation author Mark Cushing calls the “canine freedom train.” A former corporate trial attorney, Cushing had thought that American shelters were filled with dogs with a figurative hatchet outside their kennel; that was until his daughter, a shelter volunteer, said that, in fact, scores of people were lined up around the block every weekend in hopes of adopting a handful of dogs. “I started to talk to shelter leaders across the country,” Cushing says. “And one by one, they said any adoptable dog without a medical issue is gone by noon on Saturday. But the public didn’t know that. Only the dog seekers and the experts did.”
Jason waited in arrivals, ready to stop anyone who walked by with dog crates. When he saw some, he swooped in. It turned out that he had ended up with an extra animal — one that was yowling like it needed to get out and pee. He couldn’t figure out to whom it belonged, and after about 40 minutes of drama in the pickup area, two large men jumped out of a truck with out-of-state plates. They handed Jason $20 before he knew what was happening, loaded the dog into their Silverado, and sped off toward North Carolina. It was unclear if they were adopters themselves or worked for a shelter.
With that out of the way, Jason tried to carefully maneuver a luggage cart full of the remaining dog crates to the lot where he was parked. When one fell, the animal inside didn’t make a sound, presumably zonked from its long journey across the ocean. More volunteers were waiting at the shelter with food, water, and an enormous number of puppy pads when he arrived. After the animals decompressed from their long flight, they would be taken to an adoption event, where they would hopefully meet their new humans.
Emily Wells hasn’t taken a vacation in years. She works full time on Wall Street but is also the coordinator for Pixies & Paws Rescue — a job that she does in between calls and meetings and emails. That means responding to DMs on Instagram about available dogs, attending adoption events on weekends, and getting on the phone with a vet at 10 p.m. because one of her fosters got sick. That also means screening applications, which more than doubled during the height of the pandemic. Typically, she denies about one-third. This part of her job might not be the most physically demanding, but it does take a psychic toll.
“What I’ve found is a lot of people are very entitled,” she says. “They send nasty emails. I’ve been called every name in the book. But there are reasons we deny. We are entrusted with placing a living, breathing thing in someone’s home for the rest of its life.” She wishes people would understand that the rescue is just her and one other person trying their best to deal with off-the-charts levels of demand. “I know rescues that don’t even reply,” she says. “So the fact that we do and still get shit for that is annoying.” And explaining why someone was rejected can create its own problems: What if they use that information to fib on their next application?
Rescues like Wells’s are largely dependent on foster parents to house the dogs they import. Foster-to-adopt is one way that people adopt pets, a means of testing out compatibility and increasing one’s chances of adopting in a hypercompetitive city. But demand for dogs was so high last year that even proven volunteers couldn’t get their hands on a foster. Take Suchita, an animal lover who moved from India to New Jersey for her husband’s VP job with a big bank in 2019. Unable to work owing to visa issues, she became a prolific dog fosterer for a rescue in Queens. She also worked with a program that pairs volunteers with elderly animal owners who need help taking their pets out on walks. That program was suspended during COVID, which left Suchita desperate for more dog time.
Figuring that online volunteer work might fill the void, she started helping another organization wade through its massive backlog of applications by calling references. She offered to foster more dogs but didn’t hear back, nor did her attempts to adopt pan out. When she went ahead and adopted Sasha, a Pomeranian, through another rescue agency, the first organization was not happy. “After I posted Sasha on Instagram, they called me saying it was a conflict of interest to have worked with another agency,” Suchita says. “I was not at all prepared for that. Then they unfollowed me. It really hurt, but no hard feelings.” She is humbly aware of the fact that in New York, there is always someone who has a nicer apartment, a better job, and more experience than you. If everything else is equal, why shouldn’t a shelter try to give a dog to someone who can afford to give it the best life possible?
“They don’t treat humans nicely, but at least they treat dogs nicely,” she says.
In some corners of the rescue world, a reckoning is taking place. Rachael Ziering, the executive director of Muddy Paws Rescue, which found homes for around 1,000 dogs last year, got her start volunteering at other nonprofits whose adoption processes she found abhorrent. She saw, for instance, people look at adoption applications and say, “Oh, that’s a terrible Zip Code. I’m not adopting to them.” Or they would judge people based on their appearance. “I know a lot of groups that will ask for your firstborn along with your application,” she says. “I think it’s well intentioned, but I think it just took a turn at some point. It’s morphed into sort of an unhealthy view that no one’s ever gonna be good enough. Nobody’s ever perfect — the dog or the person.” Muddy Paws is instead embracing what is known as “open adoption,” a philosophy that allows for rescue volunteers to be more open-minded about what a good dog home might look like. It has started gaining traction among groups like the ASPCA in recent years, in part because the organization’s current president was denied a dog — twice. Instead of rejecting applicants outright based on their giving the “wrong” answers, Ziering’s team speaks with hopeful dog owners at length, learning about their lifestyles and histories to match them with the pet best for their family. Still, even a more inclusive philosophy toward profiling adoption applicants comes up against the intractable math: There are only so many dogs that need homes. Though Muddy Paws rejects less than one percent of applicants, some decide to adopt elsewhere if it means getting a dog faster.
Is any of this good for the dogs? Depends on whom you ask. If the intense questions involved in securing the dog cause someone to reflect before making a decision they’ll regret — sure. Others note that the average dog’s life span has hovered around 11 years for decades. “I think it’s probably true that the majority of people who want to adopt a dog should not,” Jessica Pierce, a bioethicist who studies human-animal relationships, tells me. “They don’t have the wherewithal and don’t have what they need to give the animal a good life.” She herself ended up with two pets that didn’t get along at all — a herding mix and a pointer mix whose constant fighting made the idea of hosting a dinner party both perhaps “bloody” and definitely “scary and miserable.” She says shelters shouldn’t “drive away potentially loving and appropriate adopters because they don’t meet predetermined criteria,” but she also sees the importance of a thorough application process that prepares humans for the pitfalls of pet parenthood. “You need to be ready to have a dog who doesn’t like people very much,” says Pierce. When Bella, the 11-year-old she got from the Humane Society, dies, she’s not sure she will get a replacement, noting that the pandemic puppy boom is “driven by a reflection of human narcissism and neurosis.”
“A lot of this is driven by Instagram,” she says. “We have this expectation that dogs are not really dogs; they’re toys or fashion accessories.”
I’m not pushing you, but it seems like you want to bring him home,” the Badass Animal Rescue volunteer said with the controlled energy of a used-car salesperson. Bill and Sherrie, a middle-aged couple who had lost their English bulldog three years ago, were looking for a replacement. The dog with a bright-red boner jumped on Bill, and everyone pretended not to notice. “He definitely has energy,” Bill said brightly. The couple were on the fence, and the volunteer could sense the close slipping away.
Although this organization saw applications rise 200 percent during the pandemic, things are now recalibrating back to normalcy. We are, it seems, witnessing the cooling of the puppy boom. The unbearable loneliness of the pandemic has abated, replaced with anxiety about how to possibly do all the things all of us used to do every day. New Yorkers are being summoned back to the office or planning vacations. Many young professionals are finding that, when given the option between scrolling through rescue websites until 2 a.m. or doing drunken karaoke in a room full of friends, Dog Tinder is losing its appeal. Local shelters are seeing application numbers slip — many say they have returned to pre-COVID levels — which, in turn, has made it slightly more of an adopter’s market.
Bill and Sherrie went to the hallway to talk it over. He was definitely a puller like their old dog, Xena. And he was also a hell of a shedder. The volunteer kept talking about something called a “love match,” but was this really one? “We’re just gonna need a little more time,” Sherrie confessed when they came back inside. No one was making eye contact. As they prepared to leave, the dog jumped up on Bill again, his tongue flopping sideways and his wagging tail spraying white fur. He was clearly not aware that the tenor of the room had shifted. “We might be back,” Bill said with an obvious twinge of guilt. “Don’t worry!”
We will probably look back on the class of pandemic dogs adopted in 2020 as the most desirable unwanted dogs of all time — the ultimate market-scarcity score for a slice of virtuous, privileged New York City. People like Danielle will see them paraded around places like McCarren Park, the living, breathing trophies for self-satisfied owners who made it through the gauntlet. At least for the next 11 years or so.

Chrisean Rock Numerology Report

This Numerology report will be for Chrisean Rock who was born in Baltimore Maryland and who is a star based on her connection to Blueface and Natalie Nunn's Baddies show on Zeus Network.
Chrisean's Numerology Report will be a decoding all from her name, not her birthday. Her birthday is one thing that can't ever change in her lifetime so that energy is fixed and general.
Chrisean's full name is "Chrisean Eugenia Malone". I will first decode her first name separately as it's the most significant energy and then I will do a full name decode as well.
Let's start breaking down her name.
C - This is the third letter of the alphabet which gives it the energy of 3 and 3 energy could be very social or creative. This can also give someone a child like impression or there could be something about them that is very jolly or it reminds you of a child sometimes. This can make them come off approachable at times as well. Names that start with this letter, it makes three and the letter C the most significant energy. This shows how Chrisean and anyone else who has a name that starts with this letter approaches the world and people around them in a very curious manner. These people wake up every day waiting to explore and seeing what they can learn or find out for that day.
H - H is connected to energy that has pressure but this is also connected to ambition as well. This could be why Chrisean has a lot of ambition and the capability of mastering something in her lifetime which also fits well with the number 9 which is connected to her R and I letters.
R - This letter vibrates at the number 9 even though it is the 18th letter and this gives someone the capability of mastering themselves or mastering something physical or amazing. This also gives them strong, ambitious energy as well and we can see that she has a very fit body and into sports, plus she has an Aries Mars.
I - This is the 9th letter of the alphabet which makes someone very adventurous by nature and they have the capability of being quick to take action. This is very spontaneous energy so when people have this letter in their name, they can definitely shock people a lot. This also contributes to someone being a traveler of some sort so people with this letter in their name, especially more than once can indicate someone that is likely going to be taking trips or flying planes. They basically will get out of their hometown even if they return to it, but they will know what another country and city looks like for sure.
S - Being the 19th letter of the alphabet gives this letter the energy of one, but it is the energy of empowerment right from within and this could be someone that wants to do their own thing as well. These people could be impulsive or they know how to take initiative, especially when something has really motivated them or sparked their interests.
E - This is the 5th letter of the alphabet which gives someone the energy of creativity and this can also make someone visually appealing or they could have some type of creative skill. This also contributes to the energy of complexity, but she only has this once so it's not too complex, at least not from this letter. This letter gives her a fighting power or a fighting spirit so she is capable of utilizing her natural strength to overcome difficulty.
A - This is the first letter of the alphabet which contributes to independence and action.
N - This is the 14th letter of the alphabet which vibrates at the energy 5 just like E, but a matured version. This adds onto her capability of overcoming difficulty and also being creative or making something tangible from her creativity.
Looking into her full name, she has a Destiny Number 1, soul urge 5, and personality #5.
5 is the number connected to romance, children, war, and unpredictability which is definitely fitting as she always shocked people with her actions and how combative she is, but she is pretty aware as well.
Based on her #1 Destiny number, She is meant to come into her personal power and experience some ease, but this 1 energy may also contribute to her child-like actions as well. She is wise, although the 1 energy is connected to new spirit type of energy. The fact that she has this matches with her strong Aries Mars influence. The 1 destiny number also is why she takes things personal to a fault.
Her having a 5 soul urge gives her natural fighting powespirit. This also connects to her romantic nature and how she always wanted Blueface to please her or she put their romantic life on blast, but not for attention, just from a natural place.

CHAPTER I
THE CITY IN THE SKY
Why I went to the Balkans— The road to Montenegro — Cettinje and its petroleum tins — About the blood-feud — England and Montenegro — Warned not to attempt to go to Albania — My guide a marked man — The story of Tef — A woman's fickleness, and its sequel.
I ENTERED the Balkans by the back door. The luxuries of the Orient Express had no attraction for me. I wanted to see the Balkans as they really are, those great, wild, mountainous countries, so full of race hatreds, of political bickerings, of fierce blood-feuds, of feverish propa- gandas those nations with their interesting monarchs and their many mysteries.
The "Orient" runs direct from Paris to the Balkan capitals, it is true, but if one goes to study a people the capital is not the only place in which to discover the truth. One must go into the country, move among the peasantry, hear their grievances and investigate their wrongs. Therefore I decided to enter the East by Montenegro, and also visit the wild and little-known regions of Northern Albania.
The comfortable voyage by the Austrian-Lloyd mail steamer Graf Wurmbrand from Trieste down the Adriatic, touching at Pola, the Austrian naval station, Lussinpiccolo, Zara- famed for its maraschino-Sebenico, Spalato, and Gravosa to Cattaro, has been already described by many writers. Suffice it to say that it is perhaps one of the most picturesque of pleasure-trips in the world, for every moment one has a fresh panorama of mountain and blue sea, of green, fertile islands with subtropical vegetation, and tiny white villages nestling at the sea's edge, as the steamer threads her way through the narrow and often difficult channels.
At times the wild scenery, especially in the Bocche di Cattaro, reminds the traveller of the Norwegian fiords, and at others the coast is an almost exact reproduction of the French Riviera.
The object of my journey was, however, not in order to write a mere description of men and places. There have been other travellers in the Balkans who have related their story, therefore my mission was to make careful inquiry into the present unsettled state of affairs, try and discover the grievances of both sides, and endeavour to obtain from the rulers and statesmen of the various nations their aspirations for the future. This I succeeded in doing, for the various monarchs of the Balkans graciously gave me audience; and from their Ministers, from the middle classes, and from the peasants, I was enabled at last to form some conclusion as to the real situation-political, economical, social, and financial.
The writer who attempts to place the various Balkan questions impartially and clearly before the public will at once find himself utterly confused, and wallowing wildly in a morass of misstatement and misrepresentation. The Balkans are torn by race hatreds, party strife, and the intrigues of the Powers. The Turk hates the Bulgar, the Serb hates the Austrian, the Roumanian hates the Greek, the Albanian hates the Montenegrin, the Bosnian hates the Turk, while the Macedonian hates everybody all round. What is told to one authoritatively one hour, is flatly contradicted the next; therefore it is not in the least surprising that in the European Press there have been so many misstatements about the various Balkan questions, the real truth being so very difficult to obtain.
I have, however, endeavoured to obtain it, and at risk of being injudicious, to place before the reader the facts as they are, without any political bias, or any seeking to gloss over the many glaring defects of administration of which I have myself been witness.
To describe the beauties of the Bocche di Cattaro, that series of winding channels where the high grey mountains rise sheer from the water, would be only to traverse old ground. Suffice it to say that I landed at Cattaro on a bright, sunny noon, and found upon the quay a tall, lean mountaineer who had been sent to meet me.
To the traveller fresh from the West the Montenegrin costume of both women and men is very attractive, but a few days in the Balkans soon accustoms the eye to a perfect phantasmagoria of colour and of costume. Pero was my driver's name, and I noticed that around his waist was a revolver belt, but minus the weapon. I inquired where it was, and with a grin he informed me that Cattaro, being in Dalmatia, the Austrians would not allow Montenegrins to bring arms into their country; so they were compelled to leave them on the other side of the frontier, ten kilometres distant.
My bags packed upon the three-horse travelling carriage and secured with many strings, and Pero equipped with a plentiful stock of cigarettes, he mounted upon the box, whipped up his long-tailed ponies, and we started on our eight-hour ascent of that great wall of mountain that hides Montenegro from the sea.
As we ascended through the little village of Skaljari we entered upon a magnificent road, said to be one of the greatest engineering feats of modern times, and steadily ascended, until at the striped black-and-yellow Austrian boundary post we crossed the frontier, and were in the "Land of the Black Mountain"-Montenegro. Across the road, at an acute angle, a row of paving-stones marks the frontier, and soon after- wards we found ourselves in the wildest and most desolate mountain region. At a lonely roadside hut Pero obtained his big, serviceable-looking revolver, and I, of course, wore mine in my belt; for in Montenegro or Albania arms make the man. A man unarmed is looked upon as an effeminate coward. Indeed, by order of Prince Nicholas every Monte- negrin must wear the national dress, both men and women, and every man must carry his revolver when out of doors.
Four hours from Cattaro we were in a lonely mountain fastness, a wild, desolate, treeless region of huge limestone rocks of peculiar volcanic formation, which gave them the appearance of a boiling sea. The views over the Adriatic as we turned back were so superb that, despite photographing being strictly forbidden on account of the fortresses in the vicinity, I could not resist the temptation to take one or two surreptitiously. On, through a bleak, uninhabited country, we at last reached the guard-house of Kerstac, and then half an hour later found ourselves upon a plateau where, in the centre, stood the small clean village of Nyegush, the ancestral home of the reigning family, and the scene of most of the Montenegrin wars of independence. Here we halted for half an hour at the post-house, and before we left, the big, lumbering post-diligence, with its armed guard, came up behind us.
Before we moved off again it had grown dark, the moon shone, and for four hours longer we alternately climbed and descended through that wild region of silence and desolation, until at last we saw, deep below, the lights of Cettinje, the little capital, and an hour later brought us to the unpre- tending "Grand" Hotel.
Hardly had I entered my room when there came a loud knock at my door, and a tall, scarlet-coated Montenegrin warrior, armed to the teeth, entered and saluted. For a moment I looked up at him aghast, but the mystery was solved when, next second, he handed me with great ceremony a telegram from a dear friend in England wishing me God- speed. I had taken him to be, at least, one of the Prince's bodyguard, and he was only a plain telegraph messenger!
This was but one of many surprises in store for me in Montenegro. Next morning I went out to look round the clean little capital, when, on passing the Prince's palace, I saw a number of soldiers drawn up, and as I went by, the band suddenly struck up the British National Anthem! I raised my hat, halted, and stood puzzled. Surely they were not honouring me! Another moment, however, and I recognised the reason. In a carriage, accompanied by the Grand Marechal of the Court, there drove up my friend Mr. Charles des Graz, the newly-appointed British Chargé d'Affaires to Montenegro, who was about to present his creden- tials to His Royal Highness the Prince.
Montenegro is perhaps the most interesting country in all the Balkans. Cettinje, a small, clean town of broad streets and one-storeyed, whitewashed houses, is a little city in the sky, lying as it does in a cup-shaped depression at the summit of a high, bare mountain. Its long, straight, main street reminds one very much of a small country town in England, if it were not that everyone is, by law, compelled to wear the national dress, and every man has in his belt his big, long- barrelled revolver, without which he must never go out of doors.
The men, sturdy mountaineers, are of fine physique- handsome fellows, all of them. Their dress consists of dark blue baggy trousers, white woollen gaiters, raw-hide shoes, a scarlet jacket heavily braided with gold, and a small round cap, with black silk around the edge and the crown of the same colour as the jacket, bearing the Prince's initials in Servian letters, "H.I." The women, who are particularly good-looking, wear dark skirts, beautifully hand-embroidered blouses, and a kind of long coat, with open sleeves of soft, dove-grey cloth. Forbidden to wear European hats, they are compelled to adopt an exactly similar cap to the men, except that the crown is embroidered instead of bearing the royal initials.
Nowhere have I seen such glorification of the male as in Montenegro. To the men, born fighters as they are, work is undignified; therefore the women toil while the opposite sex look on. I saw women employed in building operations and performing work which, in other countries, is left to day- labourers.
Cettinje is quaint in the extreme. The only houses of foreigners are the various Legations, and the only foreigners are diplomats with their wives and families. The first thing that strikes the stranger is the number of petroleum tins. Opposite the hotel I saw a great ring of empty tins, numbering some hundreds, ranged around a fountain. A few women were squatting gossiping, and an armed policeman lounged against the water-source. On inquiry, I found that there was a water famine, and the tins had been placed there at dawn to await the moment when the authorities thought fit to allow the people to get their daily supply. The women had gone away to work, and would return later. The Monte- negrins a short time ago constructed a reservoir, but there was a crack in it, so the water ran away. Hence the famine.
The petroleum tin is never out of sight for a single moment in Cettinje. At any hour, and in any street, you see women and children carrying them. They are used for everything, from milk-pails to flower-pots.
In Cettinje one comes for the first time up against the dark-faced, scowling Albanian in his tightly fitting trousers of white wool striped with black, his dirty white fez, and the swagger of superiority in his gait. He is well armed, and for a good reason. The Montenegrin hates the Albanian, because of the constant border feuds over at Podgoritza, where blood is constantly spilt, and where I have seen a Montenegrin in the market squatting over a basket of apples with a loaded rifle.
That morning I was chatting to a man in Montenegrin dress, of whom I had bought some excellent cigarettes, manufactured by the Montenegro Tobacco Monopoly-an Italian syndicate, by the way and happened to mention that I was on my way to Albania. "Ah, gospodin!" he exclaimed, holding up both his hands, and glancing at the revolver in my belt. "Take my advice.
Don't go into Albania or Macedonia. You are not safe there from one moment to the other. For half a word they'll shoot you dead as easily as they drink a glass of wine. No man's life is worth a moment's purchase there. I'm Albanian myself from Kroja-and I know."
This was scarcely reassuring. I looked about me on every hand as I strolled through Cettinje. All was so quiet, so orderly, so very peaceful there, even though the big, burly mountaineers in the gold-laced jackets eyed me with askance as I passed. Not without some trepidation I took a number of photographs, for I had heard that, like the Turk, the Monte- negrin was averse to having his counterfeit presentment put upon paper. Nevertheless, the first feeling of insecurity having passed, I very soon found myself quite at home in Cettinje, and in the midst of very good and kind friends.
A good many foreigners come up from Cattaro to pry about Cettinje for a day or two, buy picture-postcards and antique arms, sneer at the honest Montenegrin, and return into Dalmatia. Towards such, the Montenegrin is not par- ticularly polite. But those who go to Cettinje to seriously and thoroughly study the people and their future will find a great deal of genuine and charming hospitality.
My first day in Cettinje was lonely. Afterwards, until I left, I was always with friends and officials, who took the greatest trouble to answer my questions and explain matters.
Montenegro is entirely unlike any other country in the world. Its air of antiquity is particularly pleasing, while on every hand the beneficent rule of Prince Nicholas is apparent. Every man in Montenegro swears by his Prince, whom he almost worships. They call him their "father," and if His Royal Highness raised the standard of war to- morrow, every man would rise and fight to the death. The Prince is accessible to all his people-more so to them, indeed, than to the diplomats. Sometimes, early in the morning, he will sit in an arm-chair on the steps leading to the entrance of his palace, and there hear the complaints or petitions of his people. In this patriarchal way he often ministers justice. Last year he granted Montenegro a Constitution, and there is now a Skupshtina similar to that of Servia; but the people have not yet quite understood that in future they must go to the Ministers, and not to their Prince. They will see him, and nobody else.
In no country is loyalty and patriotism so strong as in Montenegro. The army is well trained, and the whole country being one huge natural fortress, a foreign enemy would experience enormous difficulty in gaining entrance. In Cettinje, even a constant traveller like myself meets with continual surprises. One day, while walking at the rear of the Bigliardo, or old palace-so called because when built the first billiard table was introduced-I heard the sound of clanking chains behind me. At first I took no notice, but as it continued with regular rhythm I glanced behind, when, to my amaze- ment, I saw a convict in leg-fetters with difficulty taking his afternoon stroll beneath the trees! There were several others on the grass plot before the prison, idling in the shadow or gossiping with their friends, who had come to keep them company!
Inquiriesshowed that most of these prisoners were murderers, not for robbery but for vendetta. In Montenegro the blood- feud is constant, and life is held very cheap. It invariably commences by jealousy, and is of everyday occurrence. Two lovers quarrel, and one is shot. Then the blood-feud commences, and unlike in Italy or other Southern countries, the vendetta is not only upon the murderer, but upon his next-of-kin. Therefore, if the assassin escapes into Servia, Bosnia, or Turkey, as he so often does, the brother of the dead man takes up the feud and kills the assassin's brother without parley when next he meets him. I myself saw a man shot dead one night in Ryeka, at the head of the Lake of Scutari, and the murderer walked coolly away undeterred. It was the blood-feud, and no one took much notice.
"S'bogom!" (God be with you!) It is the expression you hear on every hand in the Balkans. In the streets the peasants touch their round caps in salute and exclaim, "S'bogom!" When you leave for a journey and when you return, when you rise and when you go to rest; even if you go for a short walk-it is the same. Life is so uncertain in those wild regions that the protection of the Almighty is invoked upon you always, and your revolver is ever ready in your belt.
In Cettinje I had a faithful guide and servant, a black-eyed, somewhat sinister-looking Albanian, named Palok. He travelled with me through Montenegro and Albania, and was most faithful and devoted. Besides Albanian and Serb he spoke a little Italian, and possessed a keen sense of humour.
One day, while we were travelling through the wild, bare mountain, a perfect wilderness of huge boulders without a single tree or even blade of grass, we halted for our midday meal, and while eating he told me of a great friend of his who had recently been killed at Spuz for vendetta, and he added, fondling the butt of his revolver, "I too, gospodin, shall die before long."
I looked at him in surprise. His usually humorous face had changed. It was dark and thoughtful, and his black eyes were fixed upon me.
"Is there a blood-feud upon you, then?" I asked, in surprise.
"Yes," he replied briefly; and though I endeavoured to persuade him to tell the story, it was not until the following day that with some reluctance he explained.
"A year ago my brother Tef, away in Scutari, fell in love with a beautiful girl. He had a rival-a young Albanian, a coppersmith in the bazaar. They quarrelled, but the girl-ah! she was very beautiful-preferred Tef. Where- upon the rival one night took his rifle and laid in wait for my brother in the main street of Scutari. Early in the evening he left the house of the girl's father, and as he passed the fellow shot poor Tef dead."
And he paused as his brow knit deeply, and his teeth were set tightly.
"Well?" I asked.
"Well, gospodin. What would you have done had your own brother died a dog's death? I took a rifle, and within a week the murderer was in his grave. I shot him through the heart and then I left Scutari."
"And you are safe here, in Montenegro ?"
"Safe! Oh dear, no," he answered. "One day-it may be to-day-the fellow's brother will kill me. He must kill me. It is Fate-why worry about it? It does one no good."
And the marked man, the man doomed to die at a moment when he least expects it, rolled a cigarette and lit it with perfect resignment.
"And are you not afraid to go with me back to Scutari?" I asked, amazed at his fearlessness.
"Afraid, gospodin!" he exclaimed, looking at me in reproach as his hand instinctively wandered to his weapon. "Afraid! No Albanian is afraid of the blood-feud. I have killed the murderer, and his brother must kill me. It is our law." And the doomed man smiled gravely.
"And the girl?" I asked.
"Ah! They are all the same," he answered, with a quick shrug of the shoulders. "A month ago she married a tobacco- seller a man old enough to be her father. Poor Tef! If he could but know!"
"And the blood-feud still continues?"
"Of course-until I am dead."
Then Palok smoked on in silence, entirely resigned to the fate that awaits him. He knows that one day, as he walks along the road, the sharp crack of a hidden rifle will sound, and he will fall to earth, another victim of a woman's fickleness.
S'bogom! God be with you!
CHAPTER II
AN AUDIENCE OF PRINCE NICHOLAS
The Palace at Cettinje-A cigarette with the Prince-The policy of Monte- negro-A confidential chat-His Royal Highness's admiration for England-His views upon Macedonia-He urges me not to attempt to go to Albania, but I persuade him to help me-His Highness's kindness -Souvenirs.
HIS Royal Highness the Prince will be pleased to grant you private audience at four o'clock this after- noon, gospodin."
The tall, burly aide-de-camp in the little round cap, high boots, pale blue overcoat, and pistols in his belt, saluted, and we shook hands.
It was then three o'clock, and I was just about to go out to visit Madame Constantinovitch, the mother of Princess Mirko. So I had to return at once to my room and dress for the audience. The kings and princes of the Balkans have a habit of summoning one at a moment's notice, and paying visits at unearthly hours.
Here, in Cettinje, in the heart of these wild, desolate fast- nesses, one seems so far removed from European influence, yet how great a part has this rocky, impregnable country, with its fierce soldier-inhabitants, played in the politics of Eastern Europe, and how great a part it is still destined to play in the near future!
The fact that everybody is armed gives the stranger an uncanny feeling. The man who brings one's coffee wears a perfect arsenal of weapons in his sash, and one quickly acquires the habit of carrying a revolver one's self. Indeed, if you are wise, you will carry a good serviceable weapon from the moment you enter the Balkans to the moment you quit them. But if you approach the Albanian frontier, you will be at once warned not to fire without just cause. A few shots is sufficient to alarm the whole neighbourhood for many miles, and on hearing the alarm every man seizes his rifle and flies to the rendezvous, fully equipped and eager for the fight with those Albanian border tribes, of whom I afterwards had the good fortune to be the guest.
I had already had a long chat with Prince Danilo, the Crown Prince of Montenegro, whom I found a very smart and highly educated man, fully alive to the political difficulties of the neighbouring states and the necessity of Montenegro preserving her independence. He held very strong views upon the terrible state of affairs in Macedonia, and gave me many interesting details about his own country.
Having met him, and also his younger brother, Prince Mirko, I was particularly anxious to make the acquaintance of their father, Prince Nicholas, the ruler of the sturdy, warlike dwellers of the "Land of the Black Mountain "-the principal and most striking figure in this remarkable country, where peace and war walk ever hand-in-hand.
Since 1860, when his uncle, Prince Danilo, was assassinated, he has ruled justly, if somewhat sternly, and has succeeded in raising his nation from a state of semi-civilisation to the high place it now occupies in the Eastern world. In 1888 he gave the country a Civil and Criminal Code, and last year he granted a Constitution. Indeed, he has done all in his power to induce his warriors to follow the arts of peace without forgetting those of war.
At the hour appointed, the royal aide-de-camp called in a carriage and drove me to the Palace, a long, dark brown building of somewhat plain exterior, as befits the home of a fighting race, where I was received in the great hall by half a dozen bowing servants in scarlet and gold. Here I was met by the chamberlain, who conducted me up the grand staircase and into the great audience-chamber, with its many fine paintings and highly polished floor. Then, after a moment, the Prince-a brilliant figure-entered, shook me by the hand, and welcomed me to Montenegro.
These formalities ended, His Royal Highness said in Italian, "Come, let us go into yonder room. We shall be able to talk there more comfortably." And he led me into a smaller chamber, where he gave me a seat at the table where he sat.
The afternoon was gloomy, and dusk was creeping on, therefore upon the table a great antique silver candelabra had been set, and by its light I was enabled to obtain a good view of the ruler of Crnagora, the "Land of the Black Mountain."
Of magnificent physique, tall, muscular, with hair slightly grey, he bore his sixty-five years lightly. Attired in the splendid national costume of scarlet, blue, and gold, with high boots, he wore a single decoration at his throat, the Cross of Danilo, of which Order he is Master. Upon his hand- some, well-cut features the candles shed a soft light, causing the gold upon his dress to glitter, and I noticed, as I asked him questions, how his dark, keen eyes shot quick, inquiring glances of alertness.
After the first few minutes of regal formality His Highness's manner entirely changed. Putting ceremony aside, he pro- duced his cigarette case of crocodile skin, with the royal crown and cipher in gold in the corner-offered me a Montenegrin cigarette, took one himself, lit mine with his own hand, and then we fell to chatting.
In the delightful hour and a half we smoked together I asked the prince-poet many questions, and learnt many things. He explained several difficult points in Balkan politics, which to me, an Englishman, had always been puzzling. We spoke in Italian of Macedonia and of a certain well-known foreign diplomat in London who was our mutual friend, the Prince giving me a very kind message to deliver to him.
Presently I referred to the splendid result of his rule, and related to him a little incident which had occurred to me in Nyegush a few days before, as showing how deeply he was beloved by his nation. A smile crossed his fine open countenance as he replied simply, "I have done my best for my people-my very best; and I shall do so as long as God gives me life. I am happy to believe that my people appreciate my efforts."
"And now, Monseigneur," I asked, "will you tell me what is the present position of Montenegro?"
"The present position is peace," was his prompt answer. "I have granted a Constitution, and the first meeting of the new Skupshtina has been held successfully. Though the Albanian question is always with us, I am thankful to say we are on the most excellent terms with Turkey, while towards Russia we are pursuing our traditional policy. For the Emperor Francis Josef of Austria I have nothing but the most profound admiration, and I owe very much to him."
"And towards England, Monseigneur ?"
"England has been, as you know, Montenegro's very best friend," replied the Prince. "I, personally, have the greatest respect and admiration for your great country. We Montenegrins always remember that it was Mr. Gladstone who gave us the strip of seaboard on the Adriatic with Dulcigno. He was our greatest friend, and his memory is respected by admirer by every man in Montenegro. Of Tennyson, too, I am a great I am very fond of his poems."
"You are a poet yourself, Monseigneur," I remarked, remembering that more than one poetical drama from his pen had been successfully produced on the stage.
His Royal Highness smiled, and puffed slowly at his cigarette.
"I have written one or two little things, it is true; but nothing of late."
"I wonder if I dare ask your Royal Highness to write a few lines for me as a souvenir of my visit?" I asked, not without some trepidation.
"Ah!-well-I won't promise," he laughed. "All depends whether I'm in the mood for it."
"But you will try, won't you?
And the Prince nodded assent.
Then we spoke of Servia and of recent events there; but he was not inclined to discuss the question, and naturally so, when it is remembered that his daughter was the late wife of King Peter.
Returning to the burning question of Macedonia, I saw that he was well informed of all that was transpiring around lakes Presba and Ochrida and down in Serres.
"It is a monstrous state of affairs," he declared. "Something must be done at once, for as soon as spring comes again the massacres will increase."
"But there are outrages, tortures, and massacres every day," I remarked.
"Ah yes," he sighed, "I know. Most terrible details have reached me lately. But you are going to Macedonia yourself, and you will see with your own eyes."
"And what, in your opinion, would be the best settlement of the question?" I inquired.
"There is but one way, namely, for the Powers to call a conference and place Macedonia under a governor - general, who must be a European prince. The reforms would then be carried out, and the Greek bands expelled from the country. How long will Europe tolerate the present frightful state of affairs?"
"The fact is, Monseigneur, that we, in England, are very ignorant of the true state of things, or even of the facts of the Macedonian question," I said.
"Ah, there you are quite correct. If your English public knew what was really happening-how an innocent Christian population is being slaughtered and exterminated because of international rivalry-they would cry shame upon those responsible for this wholesale murder and outrage. But" -he smiled-" I almost forget myself. My position as a ruler forbids me to talk politics, you know!" And we laughed together.
"So you are going to Servia, Bulgaria, Roumania, and to Constantinople-eh?" he remarked a little later, when we had lit fresh cigarettes. "In Bulgaria, and also in Roumania, you will see many things that will interest you. The Bul- garians are very strongly armed, and so are the Roumanians."
"Her Majesty the Queen of Roumania has also promised me audience," I said.
"When you see her, will you please present to Her Majesty my most cordial respects. She is so very charming."
"I want, Monseigneur, to visit Northern Albania, leaving Montenegro by Ryeka and Scutari. Would that be the best route, do you think?"
"What!" he exclaimed, in surprise. "Do you actually contemplate visiting the tribes up in the Accursed Mountains?"
"Certainly. Why not?"
"Well, my advice is, don't think of going there. If you do, you will never return. You'll be shot at sight, like a dog. You have no idea what those uncivilised tribes are like. The whole country is utterly lawless."
"So I understand. But I've also heard that the Albanian possesses a deep sense of honour. And I thought that I might possibly obtain permission from one or other of the chiefs."
The Prince was silent for a moment. Then, looking at me across the table, said-
"Do not go. It is far too great a risk."
His advice was the same that my, friends in London had given me; the same that I had received there, in the market-place of Cettinje.
But I was determined, and pressed His Royal Highness to assist me, at last receiving his promise of help. By his kind permission, the Albanian named Palok acted as my guide, and what eventually happened to me in that wild region will be seen in the following pages.
"Well," exclaimed the Prince at last, "if you go up there, it must be at your own risk. I've warned you of the danger. No one has been up there for many years. It has been at- tempted, of course, but travellers have either been held to ransom, and the Turks have been compelled to pay for their release, or else they have simply been shot by the first Albanian meeting them. The country beyond Scutari is the most unsafe in the whole Balkan Peninsula."
I replied that I intended to make the attempt.
"Well, then, I wish you buon viaggio," he laughed. "May every good luck attend you, and as we say in Montenegro - S'bogom! (God be with you!) When you return for I suppose you will pass this way down to the sea-come and see me, and tell me all about the Skreli and Kastrati country -for of course I am highly interested. They are always at war with our people on the frontier."
"I will let your Royal Highness know the moment I am back in Cettinje," I promised.
Then rising, he gripped my hand warmly, saying-
"Then I will help you if I can. Be careful of yourself, for I shall be anxious about you. Again, S'bogom!"
And the Prince accompanied me to the head of the grand staircase, where I made my obeisance, turned and descended through the rows of armed and bowing servants ranged in the hall, charmed by His Royal Highness's graciousness towards me and by the pleasant chat I had enjoyed.
When, after my journey through Northern Albania, I one afternoon re-entered that audience-chamber, and he came forward with outstretched hand to greet me, he exclaimed-
"Well, well! I am so glad to see you back safe and sound. You look a little thinner in the face a little travel-worn- eh? Life in the Albanian mountains is not like your life in London or Paris, is it? But never mind as long as you are safe," he laughed, placing his hand kindly upon my shoulder.
"Come along to this room. It is more cosy," and he led me to the smaller apartment, his own private cabinet.
For nearly two hours I sat relating to him what occurred on my journey, and describing the wild country which had, until then, been practically a sealed book. Even though Cettinje is so near, hardly anything was known of the Skreli, the Hoti, the Klementi, or the Kastrati tribes, save that they were brigandish bands who constantly raided the Montenegrin frontier.
The Prince listened to me with great attention, and put many questions to me as we smoked together.
Then rising, he took from a drawer in his great writing- table a small scarlet box, and as he opened it he bestowed upon me a compliment undeserved, for he said -
"There are few men who would have risked what you have done. Therefore I wish to invest you with our Order of Danilo, as a mark of my appreciation and esteem."
And he displayed to me the beautiful dark blue and white enamelled cross of the Order, the same that he was wearing at his throat, surmounted by the royal crown and suspended upon the white ribbon edged with cerise.
After he had invested me with the Order, saying many kind things to me, which I really don't think I deserved, he added-
"The chef du chancellerie will send you the diploma in due course, and I trust, when you petition your own gracious Sovereign King Edward, that His Majesty will allow you to wear this insignia."
I thanked His Royal Highness, gripped his hand, and a few minutes later passed through the line of bowing servants out of the Palace.
And that same evening I received from His Royal Highness the signed photograph which appears in these pages.
Before I left Cettinje I received the following expressive lines, written especially for me by a Montenegrin poet who is a great personage, but whose name he would not permit me to give. They are in Servian as follows, and I have placed their English translation below :-
S' veledušnog Albiona
Pružiše se dvije ruke
Crnoj Gori da pomogu
U junačke njene muke
S' vrućom rječu na ustima
Gladston diže Crnogorce
A Tenison za najprve
U svijet ih broi borce
Na glas svoih Velikana
Britanski se narod trže
Da pomože da zaštiti
Crnu Goru iz najbrže
Posla svoje bojne ladje
Sto na tečnost gospostvuju
Veledušno da zaštite
Domovinu milu Moju
O fala ti po sto puta
Blagorodni lyudi Soju
Dok je svjeta dok je greda
Nad Ulcinjem koje stoju
Hraniće ti blagodarnost
Ova šaka sokolova
Koima si u pomoci
Stiga putem od valova.
The literal translation in English is as follows:-
From the great-souled Albion,
Two arms were stretched
To help Montenegro
In her heroic sufferings.
With fiery word on his lips
Gladstone lifts up Montenegrins,
Whilst Tennyson declared them
The very first fighters in the world.
On the call of their great men,
British people rose up
In quickest manner, to help
And to protect Montenegro.
They despatched their war-ships,
Which rule over the seas,
Generously to protect
My Fatherland so dear to me.
Oh! thanks to thee, hundredfold thanks,
Noble race of men.
As long as the world lasts,
As long as the mountains above Dulcigno stand,
Will remain grateful to thee,
This handful of falcons,
To whose help thou didst come
By the road of the waves.

2024.05.10 19:55 nightmarewoman I'm 28, make $67,000, live in Central Mass, and I struggled this week

ABOUT ME
I wrote a money diary in October 2022. Since then, my boyfriend P. has been upgraded to fiance (we are getting married in July!) and my beloved Trash Cat has had enucleation surgery (we now call the vet “The Eye Snatcher”). I still work as a technology specialist in higher education. In December 2023, I discovered HR input my salary wrong when I first started my current job—the contract I signed stated my salary as $65,000, but they input it as $60,000. I got a hefty portion of back pay. I am currently making about $67,000/year.
P. and I still split expenses 50/50 (somewhat imperfectly) and do not have any combined accounts. We input shared expenses into this spreadsheet and then settle the difference once a month. His salary is about $75,000. He recently cashed out about $15,000 from a 529 plan he never used (he didn’t go to college) and will be creating a CD ladder with this money to save for a down payment.
ASSETS & DEBT
Retirement balance: $6,542.66 in my 403(b) and $2,688.03 in my Roth IRA. In my last money diary, I felt guilty about my retirement balance because I didn’t really start until the age of 25 and for a year my contributions went uninvested. I feel much better about it now. This summer, I’ll qualify for employer-matched contributions to my 403(b), which will improve my progress even more.
Equity: maybe one day????
Savings account balance: $1,291.23 in an emergency fund, $160.32 in a recently-started down payment fund.
Checking account balance: $3,052.37
Credit card debt: $4,651 on credit card 1, $0 on credit card 2. Unfortunately, I’ve had 3 major setbacks in recent months: Trash Cat’s surgery ($2,200), new tires/maintenance on my car ($2,300), and an unexpected hotel stay when P.’s nephew passed away just before Christmas ($1,000). P. and I split Trash Cat’s surgery and the hotel stay, so the total I’ve put on my card in recent months is $3,900. I was down to about $800 in debt prior to all this fun stuff.
Student loan debt: $75,000 in public loans for a bachelor’s degree in Education and a master’s degree in English. This was technically a “bad choice” because I did use my loans for living expenses during grad school, but I honestly do not regret it. I LOVED grad school, even though most of it happened online due to the pandemic, and I sincerely believe it made me a better, more thoughtful, and empathetic person. Since the university I work for now is a certified non-profit organization, I will eventually qualify for PSLF if I stay here or within the field of accredited higher education.
Car debt: I owe $2,754 on my Toyota.
INCOME
Income progression: I have worked steadily at part-time jobs since age 16. I’ve been in educational tech for 3 years; my starting salary was $18/hour as a customer service associate, which was around $42,000 annually with overtime. When I started my current job almost 2 years ago, my salary jumped to $65,000 (which ended up being funky, see ABOUT ME above). My current salary, after it was adjusted and I received a 3% raise, is now $67,000.
Monthly take-home pay: $3,355.90 after deductions
Side gig income: None. I quit tutoring because I started taking night classes back in the fall.
Parental Support: As I mentioned in my money diary last year, my parents contributed about $22,000 to rent/car expenses during my “adult” (college) life. My dad is also paying for our wedding “reception,” which is a private dinner at a restaurant for 15 people (estimated cost $5,000). I hinted heavily at Financial Trauma in my last diary, an issue I’ve mostly overcome thanks to my incredible therapist. I might write a more detailed post on healing Financial Trauma and my experience with it…let me know if you’d be interested in reading something like that :)
EXPENSES
Rent: $787.50 (P. and I split rent 50/50; our total rent is $1,575)
Renter’s & car insurance: $1,321/year, which averages out to $110.83/month (not split).
Health insurance: $394.46/month before tax for health and dental. Once P. and I get married, I am hopping on his insurance.
Retirement contribution: $257.50/month pre-tax into my 403(b). I also transfer $50/month into a Roth IRA.
Savings contribution: $200/month to emergency fund, $50/month to down payment fund
Debt payments: $260/month for my car payment, $60/month for my student loan payment (this is wildly low because I am on an income-driven repayment plan. Due to the ongoing Federal Battles, I have not had to recertify my income, so this payment is based on my 2019 income. I also pay at least $500/month towards my credit card debt. Since this is a three paycheck month (and my third paycheck will be a “deduction holiday”), I am paying $1,000 towards it this month. P. does not contribute towards my debt.
Utilities: P. and I split internet, water, electricity, and trash evenly: usually about $175/month for my half, $350 total.
Cellphone: $65/month (we each pay for our own phones).
Subscriptions: Spotify for $10.99/month, Hulu for $7.99/month, Monarch (web budgeting app) for $50/year (this is a discounted price; it will jump to $80/year next year). None of these expenses are split.
Gym membership: $36/monthly for gym membership; $500/quarter for personal training (not split).
Pet expenses: P. and I split this expense; generally $100/month for my half, $200/month total.
Therapy: $25/week (not split).
MONEY DIARY
DAY 1: FRIDAY
😴 7 AM: P. shakes me awake. I reluctantly get up, go to the bathroom, and change into leggings and a sweater dress. After I give Trash Cat his morning medicine, I kiss P. goodbye and I’m out the door. I listen to the Sinisterhood podcast on my drive to work and try to stop for coffee, but the drive-thru line is backed up into the street and causing traffic, so I skip it.
💄8 AM: I put on my makeup in the bathroom at work; this has become my new routine since I was diagnosed with sleep apnea because the extra few minutes of sleep are now a medical necessity. I use Covergirl skinmilk foundation, elf lash and roll mascara, and elf instant brow pencil. Sometimes I use elf lip stain (big elf fan over here) but don’t bother today.
😈 9 AM: I meet with the university’s academic technology team to help them set up a feedback survey for a new grading tool they piloted this semester. We also bitch a little about some difficulties we’ve had this week with faculty. An important thing to know about me is that I am a hater to my innermost core.
🥪12 PM: After spending most of the morning replying to emails, updating tickets, and watching budgeting videos on YouTube, I realize I forgot my lunch at home. Since digging myself back into credit card debt, I’ve made a conscious effort to bring my lunch to work and spend less on convenience food, so I’m pretty annoyed with myself. A quick trip to the library cafe yields a turkey sub, a green smoothie, and a giant cookie ($14.47). I eat at my desk while making some money moves (it’s payday!). $200 goes to my credit card to cover my therapy copay and the pair of Hokas I bought my mom for her birthday earlier this week. I also transfer $500 to my savings account. $214.47
👣5 PM: I pack up and make the short drive over to my friend’s apartment. It was a spectacularly unproductive day; if I’m being honest, I’ve been feeling burnt out and need a break, but I’m trying to save my vacation days for our wedding. My friend and I walk around one of my favorite neighborhoods in the city and catch up. We also go to Whole Foods before she heads to the gym. I grab some specialty canned beans, tofu, tortilla chips, Chomps, and some Poppi sodas ($35.23).
🐱8 PM: I eat one of my favorite lazy meals for dinner—refried beans mixed with quinoa, salsa verde, and shredded cheese with tortilla chips—and watch a few episodes of Home Economics on Hulu. I get sucked into TikTok for a little while before brushing my teeth and taking my meds. I go to bed around 10:30 PM while snuggling Trash Cat.
Daily Total: $249.70
DAY 2: SATURDAY
🚿 8:30 AM: Quick shower before changing into a blue sundress and a white button up. I do my makeup and feed Trash Cat. I’m out the door a little past 9 AM to head to book club.
📚10 AM: This month, we’re having book club at an adorable little tea room. We read Romancing Mr. Bridgerton and obviously love a ✨theme✨ so the four of us spend an hour talking about the book, eating tiny finger sandwiches, and drinking approximately 5 gallons of tea. One of my good friends from grad school, R., started this book club a few months ago and it has been such a joy to get together with awesome women on a regular basis. We also commiserate over family problems—R does a dramatic reading of an outrageous text from my dad before we go our separate ways ($38.10).
💍12 PM: I received an email yesterday from our jeweler that my wedding ring is done and realize I’m much closer to the jewelry shop than I am to home. I call P. to ask if he’d be okay with me picking it up. He is. I swing by the shop and try on my ring; it is so beautiful and fits perfectly! I wear it on my drive home and can’t stop admiring it. P. put down $400 when we met with the jeweler a few months ago, so I pay $821.88 to take it home. P. sends me that exact amount on Venmo. (technically, I pay nothing).
😵2 PM: I eat more of my refried bean lazy meal and watch some episodes of The Rookie on Hulu. The rest of the day is spent fielding calls and texts from my sister, brother, and sister-in-law about my mother’s birthday dinner tomorrow. It is bringing up ✨trauma✨ for all of us.
😴9 PM: A very lazy night routine of brushing my teeth, taking off my makeup with a wipe, take my meds, and drinking water while listening to a podcast as I fall asleep.
Daily Total: $38.10
DAY 3: SUNDAY
🎁10:30 AM: Roll out of bed, make some Kodiak protein waffles, and call my youngest brother, who is 22. He and I are very close, but I still carry a lot of guilt about how much I couldn’t—and can’t—protect him from. I offer to pick out a gift for Mom “from him” since he has to head to the airport to retrieve our parents and he agrees.
🧀12 PM: I go to a gift shop in the next town over and pick out a pair of gold vermeil earrings. They’re $225. I buy them and tell my brother to Venmo me $175 (so technically I spend $50). After, I pop over to Wegmans, which is in the same shopping plaza, and pick up quesadillas, seltzers, fried rice, and spicy chicken for lunch ($41.55 total, $20.77 for my half). $70.77.
🧼1 PM: P. and I eat lunch on the couch while watching YouTube. Afterwards, I channel my irritation into cleaning the apartment. I vacuum, swiffer, put away dishes, and wipe down the bathroom. P. takes out the trash and recycling and starts some laundry.
🍾4 PM: We meet my other brother (I have two—this one is also younger but closer in age to me, 27) and my sister-in-law at a bar to pregame for Mom's birthday dinner. Is this healthy? Probably not. Does it work? Yes. I pay for all our drinks ($112.02)
🙄5 PM: Dinner time. A bunch of my aunts and uncles are there, too, so we sit at the “kid’s table” with my siblings and one of my cousins. I order Jameson and ginger and a fancy cheeseburger. Maybe it’s the liquid courage, or the fact I went into this with extraordinarily low expectations, but I have a surprisingly good time…until my dad starts to fight with the waitress about separate checks for the separate tables. He didn’t mention it at the beginning of the meal, and considering we have 17 people at three different tables, the waitress understandably says no. It gets to the point where my brother just hands her his credit card to put an end to it. He doesn’t tell me how much the total bill is; P. and I venmo him $100 each ($100).
🍋7 PM: The fun isn’t over! We head back to my parents’ house for cake and presents. I eat lemon cake with ice cream and give my mom the Hokas I bought her earlier in the week. She loves the earrings from my brother, and he thanks me for helping him.
💤11 PM: We finally leave. I fall asleep on the way home. I thank P. for being such a supportive partner, take my meds, and promptly fall asleep again.
Daily total: $282.79
DAY 4: MONDAY
🤕8 AM: I make it out of bed and over to the computer. I respond to emails, update a few tickets, and purchase a knee brace from Amazon ($24.01). I LOVE going to the gym and I’m trying to lose weight for health reasons, but the past few days my left knee has been stiff and achy to the point that it hurts to go up and down the stairs. I have a doctor’s appointment this week so I can tell my primary care physician then, but I want to go for a walk to clear my head. I drink a Liquid IV.
🍜11 AM: P. picks up brunch from one of our favorite local restaurants. Their biscuits and gravy bowl is incredible. ($27.58 total, $*13.79 *for my half).
🥟4 PM: I jump in the car and run to Petsmart to pick up pill pockets and food for Trash Cat. Even though he came from a dumpster, he has decided he’ll only eat the fancy cat food. ($64.78 total, $32.39 **for my half). Then I go to Wegmans for some more groceries: tomatoes, cucumbers, frozen dumplings, lettuce, seltzer, onions, brussel sprouts, and turkey burgers. ($68.22 total, $34.11 **for my half).
🍅6 PM: P. and I eat dinner while watching the John Oliver episode on libraries (stop banning books, losers!!!!). It’s one of our other favorite lazy meals: quinoa with fancy canned beans with chopped up peppers, onions, and tomatoes. I drink a seltzer with dinner and then do some chores and take a shower.
🦷10 PM: Stayed up later than I meant to scrolling TikTok and Reddit. Whoops! I brush my teeth and turn off the lights.
Daily total: $104.30
DAY 5: TUESDAY
🧇8 AM: Roll out of bed and walk 5 steps to my computer. After checking email and signing in, I make protein waffles for breakfast and put on my new knee brace that was delivered last night.
💩10 AM: I take a quick break from writing technical documentation to fold some laundry and tidy up the kitchen. I give Trash Cat some treats and clean out the litterbox. He is a stinky boy.
👨‍💻1:30 PM: I run a meeting with my boss and grandboss about the documentation project I’m currently spearheading. We are migrating into a new (and easier) documentation system, which means I need to export, update, and organize all our current documentation. They’re both pleased with my progress and the next goals I’ve outlined. Maybe I am good at my job? Afterwards, I eat some refried beans with tortilla chips and a seltzer.
🤬4:30 PM: I get a very rude email from a faculty member saying he cannot access a file a student shared with him (and grades are due tonight). He sends me a screenshot and it turns out…he’s clicking the wrong button. I explain the correct steps and attach the student’s file, but I’m so agitated that I sign out early and go for a walk. The weather is beautiful, and I try not to think about the email, but I keep stewing over it. The worst part of working in higher ed is the entitlement - I am often treated like “the help” by the Impossibly Busy Big Brained Professors Who Don’t Have Time For Glitches (FYI, glitches do not care whether you have time for them or not).
📱6 PM: P. and I eat leftovers of our fancy canned bean bowls for dinner and feed Trash Cat. I numb out by scrolling for about 3 hours.
🙄9 PM: I go to bed, but keep thinking about that damn email and then beat myself up for being so sensitive and giving that professor so much of my mental energy off the clock.
Daily total: $0
DAY 6: WEDNESDAY
🥯7 AM: Get out of bed, throw some clothes into my gym bag, get dressed, and run out the door. I stop at Dunkin on the way to work to get an iced coffee and some stuffed bagel minis ($5.45).
🧘‍♀️10 AM: I log into my virtual therapy appointment from my office and talk for 40 minutes straight about everything I am struggling with: my routine is out of whack thanks to my mom’s dinner; I’m mad at my parents, my sister, and my job; my knee is killing me so I can’t work out; I have been a shitty partner and cat mom this week; I am scrolling to numb out instead of reading or relaxing in a meaningful way. My therapist helps me come up with an action plan. I put my phone on bedtime mode to turn it to black and white, make plans with P. for a cozy date night at home this weekend, and bookmark a few jobs to apply for. She reminds me I am a supportive sister and partner and relationships are not 50/50 every single day. We end with a meditation about releasing anger.
☁️11 AM: I meet with a staff member in admissions over Zoom to discuss file back-up in preparation for his new computer. He is actually already synced to our cloud system, meaning that all files are backed up, so the meeting is easy. He asks a few questions about the cloud system and how it works and also provides feedback on some of the tools he feels need guidelines or best practices for usage.
📽️12 PM: Lunch is the last of the fancy bean bowl leftovers and a seltzer (I am a creature of habit). While I eat, I watch budgeting videos on YouTube. I get an email that my credit card has been charged for my therapy copay ($25).
🙃3 PM: I meet virtually with a professor who is, technologically speaking, extremely high-need. I watch her rename and organize files for about an hour. Inevitably, she moves them to the wrong place, accidentally deletes the entire file name, etc. On the bright side, she is very sweet and appreciative of my guidance.
💪4:45 PM: I duck out early to drive to the gym. I let my trainer know what is going on with my knee, so we decide to hit upper today. I only started weightlifting in November and I’ve found I love it so much I am willing to shell out for personal training. After doing my best not to side-eye the men with terrible form (if you need to use your knees to complete a bicep curl, the weight is too heavy), I stretch out and grab dinner from Qdoba: a chicken bowl for me and a steak burrito for P ($24.66 total, $*12.33 *for my half).
🤙7 PM: I call my youngest brother while eating dinner. He is the only one living at home with my parents and needs to vent about what’s going on. I do my best to validate his feelings and remind him he can stop by our apartment whenever he needs to. I wish I could do more.
🚿8 PM: I pack my Qdoba leftovers for lunch, take a shower, and crawl into bed with some sleepy tea and a book.
Daily total: $42.78
DAY 7: THURSDAY
🦶5:30 AM: P. wakes me up by tickling my feet. It is not enjoyable, but it is highly effective. I grab my leftovers and head to the gym.
🚲7 AM: I finish up my cardio workout on the bike, take a quick shower, and change into my work clothes. It’s a little unfair that exercise actually does make you feel better. On the way to work, I stop at Dunkin for iced coffee again but resist getting a snack ($3.31).
🥤9 AM: My morning work consists of emails, tickets, and updating some website pages. I also find a job listing on LinkedIn at another university which is a step up from my current position. A quick look at Glassdoor shows it has a higher employee satisfaction rating than the institution where I work now, and the salary range for this position is at least $10k higher than my current salary. I spend a bit of time fine-tuning my resume and drafting a cover letter while researching the university. It has a much nicer fitness center and a smoothie bar? I know, I know, the grass is always greener…
📚10 AM: Quick walk over to the library for an appointment with the archival specialist. We discuss how to back up her files in preparation for her new computer. She gives me a tour of the rare book collection - first editions of Jane Eyre and David Copperfield, plus a copy of the Nuremberg Chronicle from the fifteenth century. Very cool. For about five minutes, I consider going back to school to get a master’s degree in library science.
🌶️11 AM: Early lunch of my Qdoba leftovers, tortilla chips, and seltzer since I didn’t have breakfast.
🖥️2 PM: I meet with my manager to discuss the documentation project and a new hire initiative in collaboration with HR. The spring semester is officially over, so we have more time on our hands to do some maintenance, clean-up, and proactive support.
🧀5 PM: Work is over! I stop at the grocery store to buy brie, crackers, oat milk, toilet paper, paper towels, and a cup of macaroni. My period is coming and I always crave cheese ($49.55 total, $*24.77 *for my half).
🍴6 PM: P. and I eat a dinner of brie, crackers, and brussel sprouts while watching a few cooking videos on YouTube. We talk about how “emotionally charged” I’ve been for the past few days (P. uses the phrase—he never, ever calls me crazy, irritable, moody, etc.). Eating cheese makes me feel better. Trash Cat and I watch a few episodes of Brooklyn 99.
💊8 PM: Quick shower, meds, and podcasts. I start to doze off.
📞9:30 PM: My brother calls me. I’m confused and groggy, so I miss the call but text him immediately asking if everything is okay. He lets me know he will be fine and I promise to call him tomorrow. It takes me a little while longer to fall asleep; P. comes to bed around 10 PM for cuddles.

REFLECTION
This was an above-average spending week for me with my mom’s birthday. Emotionally, it was also not a great week for me, and I often tend to spend more money when I’m upset, although I’ve apparently channeled that compulsion into grocery shopping. I am also trying to test out if smaller, more frequent grocery trips are better for us, since weekly shopping often means we throw out produce or meat.
I’m working on a) digging myself out of credit card debt and b) regulating my emotions, especially when it comes to my family. This particular stressor, and its effects on my finances, waxes and wanes throughout the year - birthdays and holidays tend to bring out the worst in both. However, even with the debt, I still feel like I am pretty financially stable (definitely more so in comparison to where I was as a kid, teen, and younger adult).
Thanks for reading 😼 Let me know if you have any questions!

2024.05.09 19:23 Zagaroth [No Need For A Core?] - CH 186: The Fox and the Wolf

Cover Art <<Previous Start Next >>
GLOSSARY This links to a post on the free section of my Patreon. Note: "Book 1" is chapters 1-59, "Book 2" is chapters 60-133, "Book 3", is 134-193, "Book 4" is CH 194-(ongoing)
When Fuyuko, Shizoku, and Derek woke up at their campsite by the ending lake of the river level, they found a letter with notes on their performance. Kazue praised their ingenuity, skills, and perseverance highly, but she did note that if they had taken the time they could have started fishing and searching for treasures both above and below water up at the river's source and along the river's course, not just in the lake at the end.
Normally Kazue would include some extra performance-based prizes to be claimed, but she and Mordecai were still saving up to give the kids some bigger prizes, and it all had to balance.
The trio debated spending more time here treasure hunting, but in the end, they decided it was best to move on and see what the next floor held for them. They packed their boat back up and launched out into the lake to follow the next section of the river.
This proved to not be a terribly long ride, but they hadn't been able to make out the other side very well and had been too tired to deal with the unknown if they didn't have to. When they found a pier to tie up to, Shizoku looked out across the swampland with disgust. "Well, I guess robes are going to not be an option for the rest of this zone. Anyway, I say we take the day to deal with our haul so far. I want to be careful with descaling the fish, and we need the rest anyway."
Derek nodded and then walked along the water line to where the river blended into the wetlands. There he found a rock to sit on, and stared out at the swamp.
Fuyuko frowned at his back before turning to Shizoku. "Is he okay?"
"Yeah, he's just in deep thinking mode." Shizoku waved her hand dismissively at the concern. "Don't worry about it. He's got some idea he's chewing on, and he wants to make sure he's got it right." She grinned up at Fuyuko suddenly. "He doesn't seem like the brainy type at first, does he? I made that mistake too. He just likes to work his way through things meticulously."
The kitsune shook her head and looked over at the boy fondly. "Mordecai did a good job pointing me at him."
Fuyuko blinked in surprise before asking, "Wait, he set ya two up?"
Shizoku shrugged, "It's a little more complicated than that, but pretty much, yes. I already knew the type I liked in men, I just hadn't been able to see the potential in someone a little more my age. Derek's going to be strong, and is already kind and thoughtful. And I need someone nicer than me to moderate my temper, and someone who is patient and thorough to slow me down."
Now she giggled at Fuyuko's open mouth expression. "Don't mistake that for great wisdom and insight on my part. My family and my patron have been quite thorough in making sure I am aware of both my strengths and my flaws. I'm a three-tail at thirteen years old, I know I'm kind of awesome, but I know I'm not perfect. Well, except for when I forget." She shrugged, "And that's one of the things Derek is good at. He'll never be mean about it, but he's not at all afraid to call me out if I'm in the wrong."
It took a little bit for the luponi girl to gather her thoughts back together after that. She was thoughtfully silent as she helped gather the last of their stuff and headed into the swamp-side village to find a room. Fuyuko found her voice again when they were unpacking. "I guess, that means yer are dating?"
"I wish it was that simple," Shizoku huffed as she tossed a bag onto her bed. "Look, I figured out that he's probably perfect for me, he balances me out and smooths over my rough spots. And with a little help from his friends, Derek figured out that I liked him and asked me directly about it. And he's open to seeing how things go, but, well, he's younger than me and isn't very interested in the dating thing. So I'm kind of in between, a friend who gets to get away with flirting and messing with him a little." The thought made her growl with frustration, and then her tails suddenly drooped and she turned to face Fuyuko.
"I get scared sometimes," she said sadly, "I worry that I'll drive him off. But I can't not be me. I don't know how to stop being me, but even if I did, I don't think I could pretend around him. It would be too much like lying to Derek, and I really can't do that. And I'm the idiot who kept getting crushes on older men. So it's not like I really know what I'm doing either. I'm just kind of hoping that Mordecai and Kazue were right in pushing us toward each other."
Fuyuko didn't know what to say, but she did remember something that had been done for her recently, so she simply hugged the smaller girl and let the kitsune cry out her stress. When she recovered, Shizoku stepped back and wiped at her eyes before frowning up at Fuyuko. "You don't tell him or anyone that I cried, understand?"
Shizoku's tone sounded like a threat, but Fuyuko was beginning to understand her new friend better, and she just smiled. "Dontcha worry. I gotcha."
"Hmmp," Shizoku replied, and then asked, "What about you? Got your eye on anyone?"
"Nah," Fuyuko scratched at her neck with a touch of shyness, "honestly, the whole thing don't make much sense ta me. If it makes ya happy, then great, but it feels kinda weird ta me."
The kitsune tilted her head inquisitively. "Really? But you're fourteen. Not being even curious would be a really late bloomer." Now she looked Fuyuko over with an analytical gaze. "You're lean, but you don't seem malnourished. Hmm. What is the lifespan of oni like? Wait, that might not be accurate for you anyway. Can I call on Mordecai? I've got something I'm curious about."
"Um? Sure, I guess." She replied in confusion.
Shizoku nodded, and then called out with a sharp emphasis, "Mordecai!" Fuyuko felt a faint hint of the dungeon's presence turning their way.
A few moments later, there was a knock at the door, but it was not who they were expecting. Instead, it was a bunkin who told them, "Master Mordecai and Mistress Kazue are a bit preoccupied, but I can pass along messages if you need."
"Huh," Shizoku said, "Well, I guess that will do. So, Fuyuko doesn't know anyone of her clan, does Mordecai know her equivalent age to humans and kitsune?"
The bunkin's gaze went distant for a moment before he replied, "Master Mordecai says a normal fourteen-year-old oni would be close to a ten-year-old human or kitsune, as they are longer lived. Either of those mixed with an oni would be more like twelve years old. Mixing most shape-changer bloodlines would slightly accelerate the adolescent phase, but Fuyuko is not a simple mix as her clan is neither a stabilized ancestry nor a first-generation mix of two stable ancestries. This makes it much harder to tell, but now that he's doing his best to analyze her biology his best guess is that aspects of her maturation will be desynchronized relative to most adolescent experiences, and some of it will come in fast bursts. If Fuyuko wants to go over details of what to expect, that is best relegated to a discussion between her and Kazue." The bunkin blinked as he processed what he'd just passed on and then looked like he was trying to blush. "Um, is that all?"
"Yes, thank you," Shizoku said and closed the door when he left. "Well, that's interesting." She turned back to Fuyuko. "I guess we shouldn't hang any specific expectations on your age, it's not a reliable tell. Well, things will happen when they happen."
"Er, kin ya break that down a touch more for me? I know how babies are made, but I think I'm missing somethin' here."
Shizoku sighed, "I'm not sure if I should be glad this is part of my education or not. Well, let's start with a question. I've seen your supplies, I know you've had your first blood. Have you grown since then?"
Fuyuko blushed hard but nodded. She was the one who had asked to be taught after all.
"Most of the time girls don't grow much if at all once they bleed." Shizoku made a face at that, "Which means I am stuck at this height unless I actively change my appearance. So if you are still growing anyway, that means you aren't following normal patterns. If that's been thrown off, then everything else is up in the air too. Maybe you'll wake up suddenly boy crazy tomorrow, maybe you won't be interested until you're twenty. Maybe this will be your build when you are older, maybe you become an hourglass. Who knows? Well, Mordecai and Kazue seem to have a more precise idea than that, but you need to talk with Kazue about that."
She didn't like the idea of becoming that curvy. It sounded like it would be awkward and she already felt clumsy often enough as it was. "Alright, I'll ask her later then."
The two of them turned back to unpacking all their prizes but the fish and began sorting them. Shizoku was able to identify some of the stones, such as some nice pieces of white nephrite, but there was a lot she didn't know here.
By the time they were done, Derek had rejoined them and helped finish the sorting job, with all the items they still needed to identify now in one bag.
"So," Shizoku asked when they were done, "what were you thinking about?"
"The note from Kazue."
"And?" She prompted.
Derek shrugged, "I want to ask Fuyuko a little more about what she knows of this zone, but I don't know if it will make a difference. I think we might want to slow down and explore instead of focusing on clearing the level."
"Um," Fuyuko said slowly, "I don't think I know a lot. I know we have ta satisfy Carmilla, she's the fairy playin' the part of a swamp witch, and when we do she lets us escape or somethin'. But I don't think anything said we had to hunt her out first thing."
Shizoku tapped her lips thoughtfully, "Derek, I would have thought you'd want to finish up."
"I do, but I am not sure it's what is best here. They want to challenge us hard to give us good things, right? Well, the more we do, like, really work at doing, then the more they can do too, right? And there's something that feels different here. I think this will be good training for me."
"Well, I guess if everyone outside is okay with it, I don't see why we can't take our time," Shizoku replied. "Let's clear up our chores today. We need to get the stones identified and figure out what we are keeping and splitting and what we are selling, we need to get the scales off the fish cleanly and see what else we can harvest from them. I bet they are tasty as well, so let's not waste it."
Derek frowned at that last part. "Are you sure we should eat them? Aren't they dungeon monsters? They could be smart like the rabbits."
The fox girl and the wolf girl turned to him with expressions that clearly conveyed their opinions of the idea of not eating available meat. Shizoku answered him first, "That's sweet of you, but there are two points you should know. First, that only applies to some creatures, namely the ones that the dungeon has elevated in some way, and the fish aren't that sort of creature. Second, for the most part, the dungeon still doesn't care. It's part of the cycle since the inhabitants don't really die. My patron taught me a lot about this sort of thing since the last time I visited. Now, Kazue's got a soft heart, so she might have some issue if we were eating the dire rabbits, but I don't think Mordecai or the other inhabitants would be bothered."
"Besides," Fuyuko added, "you can still eat things that talk at you. Gil and I ate the peryton that I killed and nearly killed me. No one's had a problem with that."
And this is how the wolf girl found herself having to tell that part of her history in much more detail than these two had known before.

2024.05.07 17:59 shaneka69 THE NUMEROLOGY OF SAGITTARIUS

THE NUMEROLOGY OF SAGITTARIUS

Today, we will be talking about the sign of Sagittarius. We know that Sagittarius is a fire sign represented by the planet Jupiter and that Sagittarius is also a mutable sign as well. People look at Sagittarius and feel like they are very selfless people and they rule the 9th house in astrology which is also connected to selfless actions and compassion so we are going to see why they are connected to compassion and humanitarianism.
We are about to decode the Sagittarius Zodiac sign using numerology to do so.
S - This letter is represented by the number one but the S is 19 before it is simplified into the number one. The number one is connected to independence AND being self motivated, especially when it is first the number 19.
A - This is also the number one, but this is talking about the actual number one by itself which is about being adventurous and taking the initiative. This is connected to people finding it easy to take action. One is very significant for people who have a dominance about them. 1 can also be a contributing factor to something being observant. The more (A)1 energy someone has, the more observant and hesitant they will be in certain situations.
G - This letter is connected to the number 7 and this is about wisdom and also having a significant charm. Most people will be able to tell you that a Sagittarius has a charm about them. Their charm is more natural though because we know that they are all about living in the moment and experiencing things to the fullest.
I - This number is connected to the number 9 which is about adventure, compassion, independence, and just living your life. This gives someone an energy of authority whether things just happen easy for them, or they have the capability of being responsible or handling a lot of responsibilities. This number is also connected to people that live busy lives and the number 9 is strong in people who are into travel. If people have the letter I and R in their name, then you know that these people are travel lovers whether they travel locally or abroad. This just gives them the energy of being very outdoor types of people. We can see that Sagittarius has a lot of outdoor energy because they have I and R in its name.
T - This letter is connected to the number two, but it is 20 because it is the 20th letter in the alphabet. This makes them carry a more mature energy of the number two and not the immature or underdeveloped energy which is going to be the letter B. This is why Sagittarius people have the capability of coming into a lot of amazing opportunities and it can also add on to their charming nature as well because the two energy makes them very cooperative, but since it is 20 before it is the actual 2, this makes them cooperate with people at a skilled level. They have what it takes and they know what to do when it comes to connecting with people and reaching their goals whether those goals are big or small.
T - We just spoke about how this letter is connected to the number two above.
A - Here we have another influence of the number one which is adding on to Sagittarius capability of taking the initiative and being self-motivated individuals.
R - So this R carries the energy of nine at a masterful level because it is 18 and it is the 18th letter in the alphabet. This equals 9 overall and This is why Sagittarius can do whatever they have to do and handle whatever they have to handle if it means that they will get what they want or if it means that they will have the lifestyle or power that they want in a situation. They can truly handle large loads or handle whatever life throws at them. Look at the name. You can tell that with a long name, somebody will have some very intense qualities about them whether that intensity is positive or negative or just amazing.
I - This is that number 9 energy that I mentioned above in the beginning that gives Sagittarius that energy of overall being interested in travel and also being popular. The number 9 is connected to popularity when it is not about travel and it is also connected to experience and knowledge. Since Sagittarius are physical people, this nine-energy translates to experience more than anything. Unless someone happens to have a Sagittarius Mercury and other placements that can connect them to the college, it can translate to education as well. Higher education in individuals most likely have ninth house placements or strong 9 energy in their chart or in their name.
U - This energy carries the number three but U is the twenty-first letter of the alphabet so this means that the energy of three will be in a more masterful and mature energy. The number three, especially with 2 and 1 makes a person compassionate. They have compassion for others and they care for others. Even though people say that Sagittarius people can be wild, that doesn't mean that they are hateful people and it doesn't mean that they don't have general compassion for people. They have the capability of caring and they will enter the energy when the time is right for their own personal life path. This also suggests that they have the capability of doing this but they pick and choose who what when and how they would use this energy.
S - This is another energy of one in 19 equaling one from earlier when we first started. Refer back to that part to read up on it.
As you can see, Sagittarius has strong self-motivated energy which is why they are able and willing and will do things on their own when they have to and when they can. These people are naturally self motivated and embedded with energy to just do what they have to do and they don't think about it or ponder on it. Just make it happen. Sagittarius, they have a lot of dominant energy about them. Even if a Sagittarius woman happens to be feminine, she still has that Sagittarius influence which embeds her with natural experience and skill. This also connects people to being advanced in general on a natural scale. When she has Sagittarius energy, you know that is a period or a part of her life where she is independent and advanced. If you have noticed being into astrology that people with Sagittarius moons happen to be pretty smart, that is why. Or if they have a Sagittarius Mercury, they will be advanced. Mercury can also be advanced as far as the way that they talk in general, but they will most likely be pretty intelligent as well. Now, a Sagittarius being intelligent doesn't necessarily mean that they will make intelligent decisions because again, these are people that appreciate the experience of living life and having a good time so they won't always make the right and smart decisions. Doesn't mean they don't know though.
Sagittarius also equals 9 as well, but they have a 22 personality number which is why they are so proactive and able to come into so many amazing opportunities even if those opportunities end up being short-lived. This 22 energy is also why they are able to connect with Virgos at times because Virgo's have that twenty-two energy as well with that letter V ruling twenty-two as far as the alphabetical order and how the energy goes. They are meant to embrace that 9 energy though because they may find themselves being focused on money and stability and then life will kind of push them to embrace travel and freedom much more. They are free spirited people by nature, but their ideals and the things that they go after is very money-driven or there is just a huge focus on money and maybe having a career or just having a restrictive way of making money and providing for themselves. They usually come into some ways to embrace that 9 energy.
Not only does Sagittarius have 9 energy embedded inside of them already, but the energy itself equals 9 as well so this indicates why they are such a forward thinking sign and why they overlook the small details such as emotions and thinking before they speak or do things. Sagittarius is a future or present moment type of sign so people around them need to be able to live in a moment like they do or it will create a rift in the energy.
Sagittarius will have karmic lessons based on faith with their sign missing the number 5 and also missing the number 4 which talks about sensible actions and practicality. Their lesson could be connected to faith because they are such a physical sign that they are most likely someone who feels like they need to see something to believe it. These are generally not going to automatically be spiritual people unless there are other factors at play that will contribute to this but being a Sagittarius on its own is not promising that someone is going to be into spirituality so the non spiritual Sagittarius people will be the ones dealing with this issue.
We can see that the number 4 is missing from Sagittarius which means that they have to learn how to be cautious and slow down because again, this is a sign that is all about advancement and experience so these are people that may live quite fast and do things really early. May have been into things that is considered inappropriate for their age group because they're such an advanced sign. Life will pretty much push them to slow down though because it's about the balance of livelihood.
We also see that the number 8 is missing from Sagittarius as well and this means that they are going to have to learn how to be responsible, hard working, and patient. They have to learn how to take accountability in major ways, especially regarding money. The energy of eight and 4 is kind of similar, it's just that with the number 8 missing, Sagittarius is going to have to find themselves being responsible., you know what, they do have that twenty-two personality number which equals 4 so in a way they could come into some pretty good financial opportunities but they have to learn how to seize the moment as well and not be so quick to live and spend everything and exhaust themselves of the opportunities and of the money that they do come into. Maybe also, they just might not be that worried about having big amounts of money but maybe just having enough. They have the proactivity to come into money a lot though so it's almost like that personality #22 is their saving grace.
One last number that we don't see when it comes to the Sagittarius is the number 6 which contributes to commitment in relationships and even familial type of compassion so this explains why some people feel like Sagittarius is difficult to deal with romantically. Sagittarius may do well with people who bring that six energy into their life whether the person has six energy in their name or if there is some type of 6 energy in the synastry with someone where their energy makes a 6 in some type of way. When we have missing numbers, we receive that energy from the external world through people places and things.

Election of 1948 - Round 2 A House Divided Alternate Elections
While many expected that the Federalist Reform Party would suffer a dire electoral defeat after the challenging circumstances of former President Alvin York’s resignation from office, the leadership of President Charles Edward Merriam seems to have restored the confidence of the American people in his party. Securing the backing of organizations ranging from the American Legion to the American Federation of Labor and riding on the coattails of a strong post-war economy even despite the turbulence of widespread labor unrest and record low global temperatures, the Federalist Reform Party managed to secure a near majority in the House of Representatives as well as several new Senate neats. However, an absolute majority in the first round of the election proved out of its reach and per the provisions of the 32nd Amendment, a second round of the presidential election must be held.
Skeptical of the Popular Front’s failure to exclude Marxist-Hansenists and other socialist radicals from their movement as well as their staunchly leftist political platform, Solidarity presidential candidate Walter Judd and his running mate Mary McLeod Bethune have both endorsed the Federalist Reform ticket while urging President Merriam to accept the broad-based support of the world federation and federal civil rights legislation as a political consensus. Now faced with an uphill battle to clinch the presidency, Popular Front candidate Vito Marcantonio has thus taken to an aggressive campaign arguing that the Federalist Reform Party has left behind workers and minorities in its platform and that it responsible for a brutal war crime in the atomic bombing of Germany that makes it little different from the Integralism of the countries of the Pact of Steel. For his part, Merriam’s allies have sought to paint him as a master administrator who will usher in a new era of prosperity and unprecedented global influence without surrendering the national sovereignty of the United States.
Federalist Reform Party

Incumbent President Charles Edward Merriam
Returning to the helm of his party 20 years after he was first its nominee, 73-year-old incumbent President Charles Edward Merriam now fights to preserve Federalist Reform after the successive collapses of two of its administrations. Beginning his career as a professor of political science, Merriam first achieved political office as a city alderman in Chicago shortly after the Second American Revolution. Channeling the widespread disgust at the rampant corruption in the state government, Merriam brought the local Solidarity and Federalist Reform Parties into an alliance that propelled him to the Illinois Governor’s Mansion in 1920. His following two terms in the office would turn him into a national superstar with his dramatic prosecution of corrupt teamster’s president Cornelius Shea. Thus well positioned at the Federalist Reform National Convention of 1928, Merriam led a radical transformation of the party in abandoning its past equivocation for the dictatorship in favor of a new vision of a powerful yet responsive federal government under the principles of Herbert Croly’s New Nationalism. However, his hopes for the presidency were dashed both that year and when his nomination was denied in 1932 in the face of the rising Formicist movement. Rather than making another attempt at the presidency, Merriam instead became one of the country’s inaugural Censors to help establish the precedents and principles that would guide the nation’s new auditory branch. Yet with President Alvin York seeking an experienced elder statesman to help guide him after rising to the office, Merriam accepted the offer of the vice presidency from York. But when York ordered the nuclear destruction of Germany without consulting even his own cabinet and subsequently resigned from office, Merriam was thrust into the presidency himself with a charge to repair a country left broken by this national crisis. In the months since then, Merriam has tirelessly worked to stabilize the national economy while soothing persistent labor unrest and has taken a keen interest in overseeing the reconstruction of a world left scarred by war to help repair America’s international reputation. In light of his advanced age, Merriam has suggested that he would retire at the end of his full term to avoid the risk of another premature presidential transition, yet this has not spared him from attacks on his fitness to serve a full term.

Incumbent Vice President Edward J. Meeman
Capturing the minds of many within the Federalist Reform Party as its chief advocate of the Atlanticist concept of a world federation, 58-year-old incumbent Vice President and former Governor of Tennessee Edward J. Meeman joins the ticket as a stark internationalist. Introduced to politics by his father who was a two-term state legislator, Meeman joined the Social Democratic Party after the Second American Revolution and applied himself to a career in journalism. However, as he rose through the ranks of the newspaper trade to become the editor of his own magazine, he switched his affiliation to the Federalist Reform Party due to his increasing disdain for the corruption and bossism of his former party. Becoming the editor and business manager of the Memphis Press-Scimitar at the same time as Louis Brownlow became the Governor of Tennessee, Meeman was an indefatigable crusader against the influence of Social Democratic Boss E.H. Crump and supporter of the transformation of the state into a laboratory of Federalist Reform democracy. Widely regarded as one of the state’s premier journalistic figures throughout the governorship of Gordon Browning, Meeman emerged as his natural successor when Browning ascended to the vice presidency. Taking charge of his state amidst the Second World War, Meeman chiefly preoccupied himself with mobilizing Tennessee for the war effort but also notably brought many of the state’s African Americans into his coalition by liberalizing civil rights laws as well as his efforts to improve environmental conservation in the state. Inspired in part by his own German heritage, Meeman emerged as a harsh critic of the atomic bombing of Germany and later became the standard-bearer for the Atlanticist movement within his party. Commanding a crucial section of the party in its National Convention, Meeman was tapped as Merriam’s running mate to win over his support for the President’s renomination and thereafter appointed by Merriam as his Vice President. Though Meeman has handily survived an intraparty challenge to dump him from the ticket in the first round of the election, many Federalist Reform politicians remain concerned about his Atlanticist position especially given the real possibility of him assuming office in the following term.
Although the party sports many adherents to world federalism and remains deeply influenced by the movement, Merriam and the Federalist Reform Party at large have withheld their endorsement of a world government. Instead, Merriam has proposed the formation of a supranational international association to mediate international conflicts, promote the spread of democracy around the globe, and coordinate international action to rebuild after the war and meet the increasingly pressing challenges of global famines. Envisioning representation of all nations of the world but a special role for major powers such as the United States, United Kingdom, and China, Merriam has called for collective security and the establishment of enforceable international laws to be the basis of this organization. However, he has not shied away from suggesting the creation of international economic planning boards and even more ambitious proposals for a baseline common world citizenship and the creation of an international currency. Moreover, while Merriam has not endorsed the world federalist movement, he has not explicitly ruled it out either and promised to appoint delegates to an international convention to discuss the Atlanticist model of federation between Western-style democracies. With a Hansenist revolution having gripped the island nation of Haiti and threatening to spread communism in Latin America and beyond, Merriam has argued in favor of an intervention to restore the democratic government of Haiti and block it from exporting revolution.
Claiming that the nationwide labor unrest has spiraled to the point of crisis, Merriam has strongly endorsed the National Labor Arbitration Act compelling unions and employers to submit to government arbitration. However, he has called for an even handed approach to such arbitration recognizing the needs of both labor and capital to ensure a harmonious economy. Furthermore, Merriam has called for a law to implement a corporatist scheme of industrial associations formed in partnership between employer and employee syndicates to steer economic policy such as wage and price levels. However, Merriam has refused to tolerate violent or criminal actions by labor unions and called for the strengthening of anti-racketeering laws as well as a federal criminal syndicalism law to outlaw the advocacy of violent revolution. To further support economic activity, Merriam has called for the proliferation of government planning agencies staffed by subject matter experts tasked with analyzing the economy for profitable, environmentally beneficial, or socially desirable investments and working with private industry towards their implementation. In addition, Merriam has supported the continued reduction of wartime taxes and tariffs alongside reductions in government spending to bring the budget into balance and limit inflation. Adhering to the longtime platform of his party, Merriam has also supported the implementation of a peacetime universal military training program. As a longtime opponent of political corruption, Merriam has promised to rid the federal government of graft and wasteful spending and pledged to bolster the powers and funding of the Council of Censors. Believing that the primary purpose of the national education system is to groom the next generation of leaders, he has called for the reformation of the Dewey Education Act towards heightening civic education and national identity. To implement his agenda, Merriam has also strongly supported an overhaul of the executive branch to further empower the presidency with added staff, full discretion to reorganize the federal government, and the line item veto on budgets passed by Congress.
Popular Front

New York Representative Vito Marcantonio
Successful in bringing together the Social Democratic and Socialist Workers Parties under a joint ticket and alliance agreement known as the “Popular Front”, 45-year-old New York Representative Vito Marcantonio has thus become the face of a newly united American left. Born to humble beginnings in an immigrant family residing in a crime-wracked neighborhood of Harlem, Marcantonio excelled at academics despite the challenges of his youth and began a successful career in law soon after his graduation. Building his reputation by taking on cases defending workers wronged by their employers and protestors arrested during demonstrations against the Mitchel presidency, Marcantonio built crucial connections within the Social Democratic Party that propelled him to an appointment as a United States Attorney and later election to the House of Representatives. While quick to make a name for himself first with his opposition to President Howard P. Lovecraft and later for his opposition to the declaration of war upon Japan, Marcantonio always remained sensitive to the needs of his constituents and returned to Harlem every weekend to solve their governmental problems and thereby earned their undying loyalty with every election. With his initial opposition to the war tempered by his loyalty to the Social Democratic Party and flexibility regarding supporting certain war measures, Marcantonio found himself uniquely positioned to earn the joint nomination of the Social Democratic and Socialist Workers Party and thereby take a leading role in uniting them electorally under the Popular Front while maintaining their formal political independence. After an incident where a Federalist Reform election worker was beaten to death in Harlem during the first round of the election, Marcantonio’s opponents have pounced on the opportunity to paint him as an unsavory machine politician with ties to the Italian Mafia that is known to operate in his district.

Washington Governor Harry E. B. Ault
With the Popular Front agreement demanding the nomination of a Socialist Workers politician for the vice presidency, 64-year-old Washington Governor Harry E. B. Ault stands as the candidate of the more radical side of the electoral alliance. Born to a family of committed socialists, when he was a teenager Ault moved into a blossoming cooperative socialist colony in Washington state. Serving as a press secretary for the ill-fated 1908 presidential campaign of Eugene V. Debs, Ault became a wanted man during the Grant dictatorship and witnessed the death of his political mentor Hermon F. Titus at the hands of Grantist Blueshirts. Surviving until after the Second American Revolution, Ault became the editor of Seattle's premier labor-owned newspaper, the Union Record. Thus, he became a central figure in the Seattle General Strike opposing the influence of William Z. Foster and urging a pragmatic balance of direct and political action. Appointed as a United States Marshal by President Frank J. Hayes as an olive branch to pacifists amidst the rapid split of the Social Democratic Party over the issue of the Second World War, Ault was placed into the impossible situation of enforcing laws such as the Alien Registration Act that he found fundamentally unjust and resigned his position soon after. Nonetheless, this service was enough for him to be marked for arrest by his former employee Anna Louise Strong when she took leadership over the Seattle commune during the Syndicalist Revolt against President Howard Hughes. After a brief spell of Federalist Reform control over the state following the suppression of the revolt, Ault led the Socialist Workers Party to sweep elections in the state in 1944. Although he drew some consternation from his allies for his pragmatic choice to avoid excessively obstructing the war effort in order to stave off another federal intervention in state politics, Ault nevertheless became a national voice for the war-weary searching for a quick end to the war. Yet with a newfound wave of nationalism following victory in the war, Ault has been ruthlessly attacked not only as a political radical but also an unpatriotic coward.
Arguing that the formation of a world government is the only possible path to ensure world peace, Marcantonio has strongly endorsed the creation of a worldwide federal union. While supporting the delegation of powers to control nuclear power and international armaments, Marcantonio has also gone a step further than his opponents in suggesting that the federation be granted a relatively broad power to provide for the “general welfare” and regulate “international commerce” in a model similar to that of the United States. Seeing leftist governments abroad as the principal allies of the United States in forming a world federation, Marcantonio has called for closer relations with Aneurin Bevan’s United Kingdom and Alvaro de Albornoz’s Spain while calling for more support of leftist movements in the occupied countries of the Pact of Steel. Curiously, Marcantonio has also reportedly exchanged letters with Italian world federalist Santi Paladino and Sicilian political leaders regarding the annexation of Sicily to the United States as a precursor to the world federation. Strictly opposed to the European colonial empires, Marcantonio has called for their immediate dismantlement and the creation of new nations under the principle of self-determination. Additionally, Marcantonio has harshly criticized his opponent’s proposals for intervention against international communist movements as warmongering efforts that would needlessly spill the blood of workers.
Attacking the National Labor Arbitration Act as being designed to suppress the right of workers to strike, Marcantonio has campaigned upon its repeal while suggesting that his administration would back the efforts of workers to achieve increases in wages and reductions in working hours as recompense for their wartime sacrifices. Additionally, Marcantonio has called for the nationalization of monopolistic industries such as banking, shipping, electric power, gas, and oil, as well as the nationalization of any industries dependent on government purchases with the defense industry chief among them, arguing that they exploit both the consumers they service as well as the workers they employ. In light of the struggles of the American healthcare system during the deadly Japanese biological attack of bubonic plague and the continued issue of homelessness stemming from destruction in the Bakuhatsu, Marcantonio has called for the creation of a socialized system of national healthcare as well as an ambitious public housing program to guarantee homes for the poor and dispossessed. To fund his extensive governmental proposals, Marcantonio has called for a vast reduction in defense spending as well as the maintenance of many wartime taxes as well as stiffer capital gains, excess profits, land value, and estate taxes. Meanwhile, attacking postwar inflation as the result of unbridled corporate greed, Marcantonio has supported the maintenance and extension of broad price and rent controls. Having built a reputation as a champion of immigrant and minority communities in his district, Marcantonio has supported federal civil rights legislation to bar segregation in housing, employment, and public accommodations as well as an opening of the American immigration system.

2024.04.29 17:52 SilverSynister University of Oulu - Should I come?

Hello everyone,
I am a BBA graduate from Bangladesh, and I have recently been offered admission to a master's program at the University of Oulu. My subject is Sustainable Marketing, which is something I am interested in. As happy as I am with the offer letter, I am confused about whether I should take this opportunity considering what I hear about the job crisis in the country these days. Finland seems to be an awesome place, with an excellent education system and the promise of superior work-life balance, something people from third world countries covet.
However, I am wondering how tough it will be for me to land a job in the field of business. Jobs seem to be more available to those with IT backgrounds. If I can go to Finland, I will focus on getting used to the culture and put efforts into really learning the language.
After graduation, will it be easy to seek job opportunities in other European countries if finding a job in Finland proves to be too difficult? Will it be wise to go to Finland considering the current situation? I would love to, but I do not come from money, so the availability of jobs is important to me. I will be able to afford the tuition fees, but being able to do part-time jobs will really help in supporting my living expenses and also gaining some experience. If you think Finland is not right for me, which other European countries should I consider as someone with a business background?

2024.04.27 07:24 SolutionsCBT Happy Birthday from Marcus Aurelius (He Actually Wrote This Remarkable Letter!)

Yesterday, as you may know, was Marcus Aurelius' birthday (26th April). So I thought I'd share one of my favorite excerpts from his private correspondence. It's really quite extraordinary. Marcus sent a "birthday card" (well, actually a letter) to his family friend and Latin rhetoric teacher, Marcus Cornelius Fronto. He's clearly showing off by employing a rhetorical trope that Fronto would recognize. This is believed to have been written around 140–143 AD, when Marcus would have been a young Caesar, somewhere between nineteen and twenty-two years old.
The tone of Marcus’ letters, in general, is strikingly affectionate, warm and good humored - in contrast to the more sombre tone of the Meditations. This letter should remind us of what he says in The Meditations about his rhetoric master: “From Fronto I learned… that generally those among us who are called Patricians [Roman nobles] are rather deficient in natural affection.” (1.11), which suggests that Fronto taught him how to display greater affection toward his friends and family. The word he uses, philostorgia, is an important Stoic ethical concept, usually translated "natural affection" or "familial affection" - it's the warmth or affection that parents typically have toward their children, and,, by extension, similar affection that we may have toward close friends, whom we view as brothers or sisters. The Stoics think this should be extended to mankind in general.

Letter from Marcus Aurelius to Fronto

Hail, my best of masters.
I knew that on everyone’s birthday his friends undertake vows for him whose birthday it is. I, however, since I love you as myself, wish to offer up on this day, which is your birthday, hearty prayers for myself.
I call, therefore, with my vows to hear me each one of all the Gods, who anywhere in the world provide present and prompt help for men; who anywhere give their aid and show their power in dreams or mysteries, or healing, or oracles; and I place myself according to the nature of each vow in that spot where the god who is invested with that power may the more readily hear.
Therefore I now first climb the citadel of the God of Pergamum and beseech Aesculapius [the god of healing] to bless my master’s health and mightily protect it.
Thence I pass on to Athens and, clasping Minerva [Athena, goddess of wisdom] by her knees, I entreat and pray that, if ever I know aught of letters, this knowledge may find its way into my breast from the lips of none other than Fronto.
Now I return to Rome and implore with vows the gods that guard the roads and patrol the seas that in every journey of mine you may be with me, and I be not worn out with so constant, so consuming a desire for you.
Lastly, I ask all the tutelary deities of all the nations, and the very grove, whose rustling fills the Capitoline Hill, to grant us this, that I may keep with you this day, on which you were born for me, with you in good health and spirits.
Farewell, my sweetest and dearest of masters. I beseech you, take care of yourself, that when I come I may see you.
My Lady greets you.
The closing line could be taken to refer to Marcus' future wife, Faustina the Younger, but, based on his other correspondence, I think it's more likely he means his mother, Domitia Lucilla, who seems to have been friends with Fronto, and was especially close to, and perhaps a sort of mentor to Gratia, his wife. We also have a similar sort of birthday letter from Fronto, incidentally, written in Greek, to Marcus' mother ("To the mother of Caesar"), which compares her to the Greek goddess Athena. This may be quite apt as she seems to have been known as a highly-educated woman who surrounded herself with a circle of intellectuals. If you're interested in knowing a bit more about Marcus' relationship with Fronto, I cover this in my new biography Marcus Aurelius: The Stoic Emperor (Yale).
Often this biographical information can add significantly to our appreciation of the Meditations. For instance, the passage above helps to illustrate what Marcus must have had in mind, in the Meditations, when he talks about natural affection. He's the sort of person who would take the time to write his best friends a personalized birthday card, I guess. He's very open in expressing his affections.
What do you think this birthday letter tells us about Marcus' character? And do you see it as connecting with any other passages in the Meditations?

2024.04.26 20:12 yeah-whateverr Here's what I found out at UNITAR'S event on 'Skills for a Successful International Career'.

Disclaimer: The opinions given below are not my own. I am simply sharing what was discussed during the webinar.
Yesterday, UNITAR held an open webinar to provide tips to professionals looking to enter the UN system. The guest speakers included current and former UN staff plus senior staff members from other international organizations such as NATO. I know many of these points have been addressed under numerous posts, but this might be helpful to those who are new to this sub.
So these were the key takeaways:
If you do not qualify, do NOT apply.
Many applicants who have never worked within the UN, especially younger professionals, tend to apply for every advertisement in the hopes of landing an interview. However, this is not a good approach. Many international organisations use systems that can flag a frequent applicant and the hiring manager may take note of this. This can negatively impact your future applications and lead to non-consideration for positions you are actually qualified for. Therefore, refrain from applying if you do not meet the minimum requirements.
Specialized jobs are scarce early in your career; broaden your horizons.
Finding highly specialized jobs as a young professional in the UN is rare because such roles usually require extensive experience. If you meet the qualifications for your specific niche, well and good. However, it's a good idea to first consider more general areas. For example, if you have a degree in machine learning, you can start by applying for IT officer positions. If recruited, you can then progress to your area of interest if opportunities arise.
Use keywords in your applications.
Every job has specific keywords indicating what the organization is looking for in a candidate. To capture the recruiters' attention, incorporate these keywords into your CV and cover letter. However, be strategic. Do not just stuff in these words for the sake of filling up space. Clearly demonstrate how you've applied them in your career experiences, projects, or education.
Take note of the competencies in the job description
The UN and other international organizations typically use a competence-based interview model for recruitment. Many of the questions asked during interviews are directly related to these competencies, which are usually specified in the job description. Unfortunately, many applicants overlook this aspect of the advertisement and are unprepared during the interview phase. To effectively prepare, carefully study the competencies listed in the job description and relate them to situations you have been exposed to. Your responses should be based on your real-life experiences rather than hypothetical scenarios. One useful method for structuring your responses is the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result).
I have a bachelor's degree in international relations. How can I get into the UN?
For those with limited or no experience, especially undergraduates, the recommended routes are UN Volunteer positions and internships. When applying for internships, start by checking if your local UN agencies are looking for interns. Alternatively, if your country is hosting a UNV assignment (for which you meet the qualifications), consider applying for those roles. If you can afford to get a position outside your country, that is also a good option.
It's important to note that UNV and internships do not guarantee entry into the UN system. Many volunteers and interns are not offered contracts upon completion of their assignments. However, some may be invited back as consultants. The process is not predetermined, so just aim to excel in your role and be a valuable team member.
Additionally, there are JPO and YPP programs, but eligibility depends on your country. JPO positions are government-sponsored, while the YPP is often reserved for underrepresented countries. Check if your country sponsors some positions or if your country is eligible for the YPP exam in a given year.
But to be realistic, recent graduates should first focus on furthering their education, such as pursuing a master's , and gaining experience outside the system. This can improve your profile and make you a more competitive candidate for UN opportunities in the future.
Can I get a UN job right after my internship?
Some agencies give consultancy contracts right after internships but at the UN Secretariat there is a "cooling-off period". This means that after your internship concludes, you must wait for six months before applying for positions at the Secretariat. So if you are applying for an internship at the UN Secretariat, it's important to have a clear plan for what you’ll do once your internship comes to a close. Always be sure to find out if the agency you are applying to has such restrictions in place for interns.
Do internships count as experience when applying for UN jobs?
Well, it depends. Some agencies may consider them, while others may not. However, a good rule of thumb is that only internships completed after obtaining the degree required in the job description will be counted.
For example, let's consider a job at UNHCR posted in April 2024, which requires a Master's degree and one year of experience:
Applicant 1:
- Master's degree completed in 2023
- Internship at UNICEF: January 2022 - December 2022
-Status: Internship will NOT count
Applicant 2:
- Master's degree completed in 2022
- Internship at IAEA: January 2023 - December 2023
-Status: Internship will count
Can older applicants who have never worked in the UN apply?
Generally, yes, there is no specific age restriction for applications. However, there are some considerations for older applicants, especially those nearing retirement age. Hiring managers may prefer candidates who have the potential to 'grow' within the system, especially for P-level positions. This preference stems from the significant investment in training and development that occurs within the UN. Therefore, they may be cautious about taking on older applicants who may have a shorter tenure. However, it is important to note that older applicants often possess a vast amount of experience. This makes them highly sought after for positions such as directors and consultants, where they can effectively utilize their expertise
What are the most valuable soft skills for a UN job regardless of the field?
Communication: It's essential to express yourself clearly both verbally and in writing.
Collaboration: Being a team player and having the ability to work well with others
Is knowing multiple languages a standout skill to hiring managers?
Yes, especially if you can speak the main language in the duty station you are applying for. Knowing more than one of the UN official languages is always a bonus, especially English and French. If you want to stand out further, ensure you can draft clearly in these languages. While many UN staff members can speak multiple languages, the ability to draft clearly in more than one language is less common. Possessing this skill can open up additional opportunities for you when you are in the system.
Any advice for young women who want to work within the UN?
Note: This answer is primarily based on a personal experience shared by one of the speakers who spent more than 20 years in the UN, but I'll include it here.
It's important to learn to assert yourself and not allow anyone to undermine your capabilities. If you find yourself in a situation where your boss assigns tasks that are significantly below what was in the job description, such as making coffee for team members or handling mundane tasks like printing, it's important to address this issue privately. Express your discomfort with such treatment in a civil and diplomatic manner.....and away from other colleagues. Keep in mind that staff members at the UN come from diverse backgrounds and cultures, so they may not be consciously aware of how their actions are affecting you. The goal is not to create unnecessary conflict but rather to ensure that you and your boss are on the same page regarding your role and responsibilities.
I have been applying to the UN with no positive feedback
Don't give up! Getting into the UN is challenging. In 2020, the UN received an average of 600 applications per post. It's an extremely competitive environment, so it's possible that you may not be shortlisted on your first, second, or even seventh application. Remember, there's no single formula for success in this process. So keep trying, gain experience outside the UN, and remain persistent.

END

2024.04.25 20:17 Tomato_pincushion It's Over😭

68k forgiven!
This process has been the wildest ride of my life - but I am SO grateful for this sub and the constant info shared here that kept me going. And informed!
In short, my timeline to forgiveness went from 0 to 100 in 40 days. I can't say this is typical but the special waiver made my forgiveness possible. Not a lot of people I feel comfortable sharing with, so here's my story:
-Graduated in 2009 with 45k in loans (50% federal, 50% private). Worked part time for a non-profit from 2006-2010 while looking for a full time job. Economy was a mess.
-Worked for another company for 3.5 years but paid the minimum. Did not realize it was a non-profit (more on this later). Dead-end job so I decided not to go to law school or get a PhD (300k in debt orrrrr being a student forever).
-Got my masters in Education to pivot (in school deferment) and earn a pension. Worked as a grad assistant at the state university. Add 75k in federal loans (I know, I know)
-2015 started working for a Title 1 Public School (still there). Started paying again.
-2020. Took advantage of COVID pause and focused on my private loans with 7.5 - 8.6% interest! Paid off 50kish via avalanche method by 9/22 in hopes of focusing on the Mohela balance when the pause was over.
-I consolidated fed undergrad and grad loans in 2022 due to Biden- Harris administration recommendation.
-Paid off 13.5k of fed loans by the end of 2022
-Did the PSLF tool in August 2023 and my employer certified the form. 5 payments counted because my HR "forgot" to do the right dates on the paper form despite me working there for 7 years. No idea why - I lost hope.
-10/23 pause ended and I resumed payments on the SAVE plan.
-Did PSLF Help Tool again (electronically this time) in January 2024. My HR department signed the ECF and got the dates right.
-Feb 2024 Mohela let me know that I had 83 qualifying payments (undergrad loan counts were factored in) . Sigh - ok, 3 years to go?
-Did the PSLF tool again in late Feb 2024 and THEN I realized that my jobs BEFORE teaching were qualified non-profits. True lightbulb moment. Maybe maybe maybe😱 I started getting hopeful.
-March 2024 called the HR departments of both old companies. Company #2 verified my employment 2010 - 2016 in 3 days. Company #1 called me on my BIRTHDAY and verified my employment 2006 - 2010 the NEXT day.
-All of my employment and payments perfectly overlapped... I had not planned this!
-Payment counts updated on April 1 - 122/120!! I almost fainted.
-Account zeroed out on Mohela (4/15), StudentAid (4/20)
TODAY: "Thank you for your service" - letter from Mohela
I get anxious thinking about how the next 15 years would have been had I not decided to simply search for previous employers in the PSLF Help tool OR read this sub. I know it seems like a simple thing - but I am a tired teacher and a new mom and things like this take diligence and focus. No one else in my family is in public service so I did not have many to turn to during this process. This sub helped me so so so so much.

2024.04.25 11:38 Outside-Sea-6733 Nonsense

Finally gotta to write my thoughts during like late February to early March. But maybe as time goes by, I forget some cuz I remember they were at least 12 chapters (Still be editing)
1
On the Fear of Death
Rabindranath Tagore
Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers
but to be fearless in facing them.
Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain
but for the heart to conquer it.
Let me not look for allies in life's battlefield
but to my own strength.
Let me not crave in anxious fear to be saved
but hope for the patience to win my freedom.
Grant me that I may not be a coward,
feeling your mercy in my success alone;
but let me find the grasp of your hand in my failure.
2 My parents are just very toxic, I'll make a complain of it and along with my hate to my homeland which I call it as land of Sodom. And actually my hatred towards Sodom ofc not just these words could describe, it would be books, endless
i) A small part of the conversation with a German dude who I mistook as a woman
And it was on Nov 18
Me Haha, when I was little I saw a high school chemistry textbook and was fascinated by the beautiful crystals (or more literally, whether they were ores or gems) and wanted to study chemistry, which wasn't guided by my father, as chemistry is not a lucrative profession in China. I then saw a romance novel in my middle and high school years where the hero and heroine were aiming at learning for being perfumers in the future, so I was still mesmerized by that and wanted to study chemistry again haha. To be honest, chemistry is not a good choice for girls in China, and I couldn't say I haven't regretted it, but I know that changing majors is not allowed in Germany either. So I had to stick with it.
Him You're such a hopeless romantic and his reminds me of the German novel das parfume which is like the most popular contemporary German novel
I have studied pharmacy which contains a lot of chemistry too in germany
And only studying what is lucrative is what ruins peoples lifes
Me I actually graduated in 2021, but on the one hand I can only earn 3000€ a year working here and can't save up to go to Europe (my parents wouldn't agree with that), and on the other hand I think too highly of myself and I don't like to talk about boring topics with shallow people, so I can't actually continue my job. Also, lack of a master's degree is getting harder and harder to get a job in China nowadays. Furthermore I have another thing I'm very afraid of, which is that I'm afraid my controlling parents will look back and see that I can't get into grad school nor can I find a job or even if I do find a job, force me to get married haha and I don't want to be with someone I look down on, I'm actually originally a radical feminist since December in 2021, and I've said before in my own family, "Whether it's black, white or yellow, males are all masters and I don't want any of them". (My mind and thoughts have been poisoned by romance novels and fanficton so I've restarted having good expectations to men again since May this year... I'm really losing sense and poisonous hahaha) If I don't have a degree and with I'm not beautiful enough, I'm just worthless in society and I won't be able to find any good ones. In short, I need to go to graduate school in China to save myself from a miserable life that I can see at a glance already.
And some words could be seen as footnotes I have mentioned to you before
Of course I want to leave, I wanted to leave in 2021. But after trying to work, I can only earn about 3,000 euros a year here, that's all I have right now, and I've calculated that my family doesn't even have more than 150,000 euros combined (because I'm a girl, my parents never tell me how much properties my family has, and are very disdainful of me for wanting to know that). Our wages here are even as low as 2 euros per hour with two days off a month, and I used to have a job with six days off a month. My parents wouldn't give me money to leave China either, they don't agree that I have feminist ideas in my brain. Also, I'm their only child and they say they're afraid I'll die abroad, yes, they think the West is full of dangers and believe every day that the view is unique, safe and beautiful here when one look at the world. All I can hope for is that I might be able to get into grad school, save up in the meantime, go to Europe to continue my education or just work, and then of course I want to live there forever.
Lazy to check, maybe there exist problem of grammar and usage 🤣
Hahaha told a lot of people I am radical feminist 🤣In my home country, feminists already be seen as crazy and rebellious, not to mention I am radical
[And there I attached a screenshot of my talk with my first Estonian friend and of course when share screenshots with others I often cut the avatar and username off:
Me I used to be a radical feminist, which means we radical feminist in Korea and China should do 6B4T
Then let me search the English definition https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/6B4T_movement#:~:text=In%20Korean%2Dlanguage%20abbreviation%2C%20%22,refers%20to%20rejecting%20strict%20beauty
Here's it
I used to cut off my hair like man, that's what we radical feminists there suggests, remove feminine symbol from us
Him
Youre brave
I really dont know what to say
Because im a man]
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/6B4T_movement#:~:text=In%20Korean%2Dlanguage%20abbreviation%2C%20%22,refers%20to%20rejecting%20strict%20beauty
Him No it reads perfectly and if had to imagine myself in your situation I would have a similar outlook. Thank god women don't have this expectation here to get married asap and actually 23 is still considered early to start studying . I notice that in China people have to decide on their career path very early and there's not much room if you have a change of heart later on
Me You can't imagine my mother wants me to get married since I was around 18, and as girls here, as they grow up parents always taught them, must do something, or you would be scolded in in-laws' family
Him
I sense there's a lot of pressure on someone like you in your surroundings
Me My mother said, why don't you get married before study and work, start a family before building a career
Him That's just terrible. I can appreciate that you'd just want the freedom of "being your own man at your own pace" but I always had that freedom That sounds like the career of raising kids 🤔
Me She would also give me examples of people she knew around her who got married in high school and I said don't they know shame?My mom said there's no shame in getting married and having kids.Even though, my mother (she was born in '65) also got married at 32, which is considered quite late in China, especially in her era.
Him Well they can't really force you. You're not the person to let yourself be dragged Infront of the altar
Sounds like Europe 120 years ago
Me My cousin's twin babies are in bad health, then my father said, why she couldn't just quit her job, like all the people do in the past
Him Well the father could also quit his job of course
Me Also, my cousin's husband can't have children naturally, but in China, always check if it's wrong with women's bodies and blame women first, if women are all healthy, then could check the glorious men
Him Terrible , I heard about this on tv
Me So breathtaking, but average Chinese woman's life [And there I attached a screenshot of my talk with my first Estonian friend as well Him: Your life sounds like movie
Me Average Chinese woman's life
Him Now i feel guilty
Life here is luxury compared to China
Don't mean to make you jealous
Me Forget all the feminist ideas in my head and agree wholeheartedly with patriarchal and traditional culture of this land and then I would feel like many women find this life normal
No, your country and many European countries didn't do anything wrong
China always says that the countries of Europe got rich by plundering, but what have Finland, Iceland, Lithuania and many others done? Nothing.
Him: Vikings hahaha
China kind of reminds me of my parents said about days when we were with Soviet Union]
Shake my head
We all have strong heart here, or just get used to it or never felt wrong by the society's influence
Him Yeah takes a lot of courage to do your own thing but someone like you can't be happy without pursuing your own path Hey you could lead a feminist movement and piss them all off properly 👌
Me Then I will die Already exist many women here dead for this
Him: Considering the declining birthrate, istn there some change occuring already ?
Me: They promote three-children policy or actually no limits for number of children anymore, which results to women more difficult to get a job or study
Sister, I'm finally back from walking and bathing, I was worried about you worried about me got caught by authorities for saying treasonous words haha🤣
Haha, I have a wonder. Before locking the screen my screen stays on the page we are talking on, so do your messages have to be shown as read even if I don't read them?
https://insidechina.rti.org.tw/news/view/id/2072201
Here is a thing I heard of, you can read it with the help of chrome's Google translate
Him: I see, so women don't want to be birthing machines, so that policy is actually backfiring
Me: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feminism_in_China
Him: Are you joking or serious ? So dreadful that you can't criticise openly, but you are using VPN right ? That ought to be encrypted
I dunno I don't pay any attention to the read thing and you don't need to worry about replying fast just take your time
Me: I know about the movement of Feminist Five, in here I and some people know it as Feminist Sisters Five
No, without VPN we could still surf on this app, but even with VPN, it still without help
Him Interesting , so I guess such articles aren't usually published in China ? But on tw addresses ?
Me: Keep in mind, actually everything is under surveillance
Ah, I found it on Chrome
Him: Spooky. Do you cross the street when the lights are red ? Or is that bad for the social score ?
Me: We have radical feminists online groups, got hidden from Douban (Chinese's version of Tumblr)or actually by the authorit** Use the Internet, all is the same And I know actually the government and me use the same VPN So more dangerous But somehow actually all the same in some extent One use the Internet, you see, wifi, 4G or under who's eyes? Maybe VPS is a little more safe, but I don't know how to build it, and maybe still under watch I surf on western Internet since like 2019, Reddit since May,2022 But don't I dare say a word since this August
Him: But what's the point of China's great firewall when anyone can just circumvent like that ? Is it like a trap to catch ppl?
Me My first word is on Reddit/polandball, saying someone's work about Germany, so adorable
Not everyone
We like 1.4 billion here
No more than 0.1 billion know how to access to outside Internet
Him: Oh I see Or most people might just don't know any better ?
Me: And if stay quiet, safe or not safe, depends on the glorious' minds
Him: I see so you still gotta be careful what you write
Me: The govern-++!ment sometimes arrests people who say things that are treasonous, but it won't say the real reason, it'll say it's because someone viewed a pornographic website
Him: That's so ironic, some people here would go bonkers if pornograpghy would be restricted in any way haha
Me: So that's the reason I stay quiet until months ago I dare say some words
And I am even a little worried
For a translated some poems
One poem named The Taiwanese Bamboo Branch Song, though it was written by famous person in mainland dead in 1929
Him: But usually websites have build in Https end to end encryption and other apps as well
Me: Another poems by Taiwanese poet Luo Fu
And I called Luo Fu as Taiwanese poet
Him: I usually avoid the topic of Taiwan, I had a bad experience with someone talking about it
Me: So maybe you can see why I am very frightened
Him: Yes
Me: I am a person totally okay with Taiwan, I don't care about this awful home land at all, I think it's should be at Taiwan's wishes
self-determination and who's the group first came to the territory in history
Him: Yeah let the people decide. But it's not that easy, because nowadays elections often get influenced by outside propaganda campaigns. Trying to shift public opinion by spreading false information
Me: Haha you don't know how smart our internet security systems are
As I said, no secret if one use Internet, I think maybe it's the same all over the world
Very scared
But this "glorious" land do it the best
Him: I have some inclination, but some apps like the old telegram have strong encryptions. Or the dark net as a whole. But but apps like these
Me: I don't use telegrams, I don't trust them and Twitter
Him: I don't either, but it's possible depending on what you use
Me: Twitter has a reputation of cooperate with my home land
Him: Just purely on a technical standpoint
Me: And I don't want to use telegrams, if I stay quiet, I may be at peace
Him: For sure, musk doing business in china
Me: But what telegrams could bring me, I don't want to get involved with politics, movements I could just take care of myself Telegrams may put me in danger
Him: I mean he actual app telegram , th instant messenger Or the all signal
Me: Maybe there exist traitors or something with the au;+_+_thoriti**++es
Him: Those are used for encryption or in some countries as WhatsApp ornwechat replacement
Me: Then what's the name I wanna hear, but afraid to use G++u-&__-i Min"&-hai Maybe you knew this person already
Him The name of the app is just telegram. And with such a type of end to end encryption, it's impossible for outsiders to read. Unless your using a device, which has spyware on it.
Me: Then my phone must have spy software Even if I get an American iPhone
Him In your country ever phone has it
Me Cause we must use some apps here
Him That's the reason Huawei got banned in usa
Me WeChat Alipay lots of stuff
Him It's not just apps, but I deeply integrated on a hardware level
Me Yeah, I even prefer my privaty stolen by westerns I feel no worries about use Google or whatever
Him Yep Google and everyone else keep track of things too
Me But in China,Internet access is completely real-name, it's just that your online friends don't always know who you are, the government does And actually neitzens could find out who you are too I mentioned Human Flesh Search Engine before
Him It's the same here, but if I wanna be completely anonymous I just take a tablet to the public WiFi. Devices themselves aren't attached to names here, only isp accounts
Me Wow, sounds beyond my comprehension, indeed, I am such an uneducated person don't know what's this I will read it carefully 🤣
Him If you go into a cafe there is internet access over WiFi. So you don't have to use your own internet at home ISP means internet service provider Like VDSL or cable or something
Me 🧐😵‍💫
Him For example if you just go to the store and buy a tablet, you don't have to leave your name Or a laptop So you take his to a cafe or something and log in to the wifi No way of tracing back your name Of course if you post online, you shouldn't tell anyone your name haha
Me Hahaha thanks for your words though I am still confused but I will tell you
Him No problemo You can ask me anything
Me Before we use the app, we already hand in our identity information
We already give out our phone number, ID Card pictures even face pictures
Him What ? You mean for using hello talk ?
Me Or we couldn't use them and we couldn't choose not to use them because every app is same and we must use some apps
Hellotalk also hand in my phone number
Him That's unbelievable
Me And actually I felt use ti it
Him 🥺
Me Because it doesn't require more! But it has linked with my WeChat So still the same
Him Yeah but it's still coupled to your phone number
Me Like ID card, face verification
WeChat or Alipay, almost every one has to use for everything, and it already have our ID information
WeChat has the strongest surveillance
Him Because it's also used for payment ?
Me One can even unable send some pictures on it
Him Yeah like Winnie the Pooh pictures
Me So you don't need to provide your any information?
Him No I never did that and noone here would do it If you use paying apps you just enter credit card information
Me Going out, administration, everything in life
Him But people still prefere cash in stores And I don't wanna be forced to take my mobile phone with me when I go out
Me China always laugh at countries like Germany still use cashes. But I found so ridiculous
Him It's not backwards in my opinion. There should be ways for anonymous payments, that's so dystopic to leave your name with any transaction you do
Me Our people here say we trade privacy for convenience, but given the choice, I'd rather not have that convenience. I have deep worries about private security all the time So I seldom put my pictures, yes, not even my selfies online
Him For example if you wanna buy gold, I would do it cash. If the government is at war it could cease private investments . But only if they have the buyers name
Me I almost only put pictures on the western Internet I have searched for this a lot on Reddit or YouTube or chrome I even wrote down once haha
Him Very smart
Me But I have something weird actually, I don't want touch the money for bacteria 🤣
Him But not much use when your government uses cameras and face recognition to track your every step You're excused, my quirky sister 😉
Me Yes I know it, they knew how many phones cards you have Sorry cannot understand, need Google at once
Him That means I appreciate your apprehension . In my job many people have that feat Fear
Me Ohh How time flies, though today we only talk about heavy things haha
Him I like this, it's a lot of fun to talk with you But I'm a little scared to get you into trouble
Me Yes, so maybe I won't talk about it anymore
Him Still, so interesting to hear from a different perspective At least I have confirmation some stuff in TV is real
Me Do you heard of him?
Him Uh well I can't decipher that one , Google didn't help haha The Rona related guy ?
Me He is a "traitor", he turns into a Swedish, and have to be one of the person in Sodom again
The au*** force him to admit his crime on TV
So he became one of glorious land again
Him I didn't hear about this peticular person, but I heard about these secret foreign offices of Sodom to "get their lost children back"
Me But Sweden still admit him as one of the Swedish people I need to keep in mind I'm a traitor too
Him Hey don't say the quiet part out loud 😉
Me So I couldn't be as brave as him, I could only take care of myself at the most and at best
Hahaha
Him Yeah that person seems to have acted like a martyr indeed
Me Just only keep the letters, remove the punctuations
Him Oh I got it That confessions vid is like the first result on google
Me Hahaha, in China, we often chat with wrong words, short form or add a lot of punctuations
As you said this, my heart broke for him
Him Doesn't help at all with the ai technology of today
Me Though I never dare to watch, I know it in my mind
But if without these, we even couldn't send out some even normal (not rebellion) messages, posts, comments 🤣
Him I feel like I'm part of a spy novel , it's kind of exciting
Me Hahaha
Him Whisperwhispermumblemumble It even the average dim witted person can see that it's completely staged. Who believes that ?
Me Sigh They don't need anyone to believe maybe, they just threaten
Him Oh yes. Like Putin killing off any dissidents like prigoshin. As a warning While publically playing innocent But everyone knows what's up
Me So frightening for me, as a child, I always dream of Anarchy society or actually described by Zhuangzi https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhuang_Zhou
Him I have this too sometimes. Like a natural disaster happing , like a comet hitting earth and everyone has to fend for them selves. Public order be damned
Me But when I grow up I found Anarchy may lead disorders Just enjoy the peaceful life described by him
Him Yeah there got to be some healthy middle ground , if that's possible
Me Here's the English translations I found https://www.harinam.com/tao-te-ching-verse-80-if-a-country-is-governed-wisely-its-inhabitants-will-be-content/ I truly enjoy it a lot since I was a kid https://www.taoistic.com/taoteching-laotzu/taoteching-80.htm
Different versions of translation haha
ii)
What I wrote on Dec 28-29
They mock me for wanting to go outside
Around December in 2021. my father said "why you want to go aboard to study. What are you going abroad for?Are you going to study until you're old (which means I should get married soon, yeah in China, weirdly before going to university, young people are not encouraged to being relationship if the parents or the locals want the young people to live more and more decent life and get higher degrees. But after going to university, they will maybe push children to being relationship soon, get married even have children soon even before the career started or the university years finnished)? Study through all your life?"
Meanwhile I said, "I want to go to Europe to study or work and then live forever"
But they always mock me for want to go to Europe, and sometimes they even don't remember, mistake Germany which I used to want to go as America 🤨😵‍💫
My parents are so toxic, my mother curse me to death just because I haven't taken the clothes home at 17:47 now. She threatened to slap me.
My mother haven't slapped me in my life, my father did. He hit me several times, especially these times. He slapped me in front of everyone in class (You may not believe that a girl who was my classmate in middle school and my schoolmate in high school, who strangely, provocatively said, "I remember your dad beating you up in middle school" when we were near the examination center for the Gaokao, to which I could only reply sarcastically, " You weren't even born when he beat me up.") when I did slower than other people on exams (but I wasn't bad at Chemistry, 55/60 on the Zhongkao https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhongkao (The Junior High School Scholastic Aptitude Examination), about 70/100 on the Gaokao https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaokao#:\~:text=The%20Nationwide%20Unified%20Examination%20for,in%20early%20June%20every%20year. (The Nationwide Unified Examination for Admissions to General Universities and Colleges), and Chemistry was my strongest subject after English (124/150 in Gaokao), and I only relied on they two to just barely make it to college, because I really didn't study much in high school, I just read romance novels every day by then). And then there was the time in middle school at home when he caught me copying answers instead of doing my homework relying on myself seriously, he domesticated me so hard he slapped me that made me lose my mind at the time. There were also one time I don't remember if it was in primary school or middle school, they two my parents whipped me with belts and forced me to kneel, and so that I told them at the time as a result I hated that I am not an orphan, I should better be. As I type these words, there are tears in my eyes. I probably have mental issues because of them. [I'm a woman maybe need therapy, but I'll honestly tell you, if I see therapy, it would be a big thing in China, hard to get a job like civil servant https://zh.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%85%AC%E5%8B%99%E5%93%A1 or other decent jobs, important exams
Believe me, what I say is 100% true, cuz if see some Psychologist or psychotherapy that will be in record documents, and will be regarded as abnormal or person with mental disorder
There must be many people in China with mental health problems, but we can't even see the doctor, cuz if we do, we may even can't enter some good schools
since we born, our life is full of competition and fighting
And parents, spoil us or treat us whatever very toxicly, traditional Asian especially Chinese parents
Control us)
I'll honestly say one thing, many Chinese women or girls want parents better dead. Because not only were our parents toxic, but even if we were the only daughter, because of the deep-rooted patriarchy here, they despised us.
Yes if one day, I want to be a good person. But I am still actually afraid of men, even I somehow close to men, but I don't want a relationship, not only because I don't want to get laid with man (I mean I am afraid of being forced) but also like something I can't tell, just afraid, many men are awful, like my father, many Chinese men though I don't want relationship with them but we Chinese men and women here are like enemies, and some men (in this term, I'm not saying the men from the homeland) manipulated me or played with my feelings
I mean I don't want to get laid with man anyway. just afraid of being forced during relationship like rape. Maybe you can't imagine, I used to think and said these to some internet Chinese friends, "I think coitus is a disgusting thing, like bestiality, the subjugation or conquer of a man to a woman, and I feel a deep anger about it", (It's a hatred as if I was born with an anger towards coitus. This could be due to the astrology chart of the moment I was born holds Mars square Pluto. For this I had seen a quite astonishingly good but long text in 2017, and I translated it myself https://www.reddit.com/Mathilde_Soliloquy/comments/191mc51/mars_square_pluto/ with the help of DeepL translator.)
and then a man said then the man you have a relationship will find others outside, cuz man can't tolerate it
I argued with my parents just now
My father said "if you're keeping bubbling nonsense, I'll kick you out of house by my legs, and get off to outside better tomorrow". haha reminds me of this Chinese sister's words
My mother said if I keep the phone with me, she won't care about my business anymore, handle all my own living myself, cooking and all. That is, threaten me.
Noo just humiliate me, my father and mother said I am crazy or stimulated by something. Just like when I said I don't want a man, my parents, my relatives, people I met in China especially my neighbors in my childhood would teach me a lesson, saying are you hurt by men, then at that time I may say, why I must feel this way because hurt by man, I just hate the patriarchal society
But also exist the possibility if I don't act like obedient to them
They know full well I'm a giant baby, fragile, depent, and I'm weak now, have no ability except learning, can't live on my own at least by far, thus may think threat me like this will lead me to be obedient
Yeah as I said to that Chinese sister, if what happened to her (A Chinese girl said to me, "I've been through three love disasters. My heart is much stronger than yours. I've also been through being kicked out of my parents' house, at 9pm, crying all over the place by myself looking for a hotel, people on the street are busy with their own, my mom wants to drop me off at my hometown to my grandma, my dad mocked my mom back in case his mom would be dying from angers, there's no place for me in the home. I've been depressed, abandoned, and hurt by men. I'm sober and I don't have a relationship/romanticismic-brain, I've been hurt three times by men. Have you ever been strangled? I have, by an ex-ex-boyfriend, and I've been threatened with nude photos, and if I difmdn't take them, I'd be crazily scolded, and received cold violence."
I replied to her, "If it were me, I'd be so fragile that I'd just die." ) happens to me, I'll fragile to go to death
Crazily, my father broke into my room, lifted the covers, and said, "Hand over your phone," and then he actually went and grabbed it and smashed it on the floor, may even stomped on it with his foot. Then I argued, saying, "My primary school classmate have been playing with his phones all night since primary school, and anyone would keep their phones with them. I must have my phone with me even if I would get hit, is this some kind of electronic doorstop?" He said "These people you're talking about, what are they doing?They're all working" and I said "You can't do this even if I don't work, you two are too psycho (my mom says the one who is psycho and abnormal is me). I'm going to get a job because I can't take your control anymore." After then, I get from my bed and turn on the light to find my phone, then my father said "it's between the dishes (on the dinning table)"
I was wondering my phone can't work when he grabbed it away from me
I'm trembling now, shake my head for it
The coldness of weather, can't be able to compare the sorrow of mine, uuhhh
Uuhh let me mention a stuff, there are places like豫章书院https://zh.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%B1%AB%E7%AB%A0%E4%B9%A6%E9%99%A2%E4%BF%AE%E8%BA%AB%E6%95%99%E8%82%B2%E4%B8%93%E4%BF%AE%E5%AD%A6%E6%A0%A1, Yuzhang Academy Self-cultivation Education School, that some places parents send disobedient children for "treatment", such as seclusion or electric shocks, extremely cruel physical punishment, in which the children sometimes have to report each other in order to survive there..., and some of them commit suicide
Though they may don't send me, I believe they must think of these things, Sometimes when they feel I am disobedient they said they'd send me to mental hospitals, though it may not be not out of their hearts but threats
Yeah it's no matter about the age, parents control children till to death. And I believe in places like that, must be many adults, no need to ensure
In this situation, I no longer have the heart to like men, I have to become independent and rely on myself for survival as soon as possible, and I realize how horrible my life is and that if I don't struggle to leave them, I wi surely be forced to go on blind dates and marry man I don't like and I despise
They've, at least my mother wanted me to get married as soon as possible since I was18, wait, even earlier or after entering the university, 17
Parents control children like this is a common thing in China, sigh*
It's not a civilized place anyway
On Dec 30, "Yeah today my father hit the door, by then I was afraid of being slapped or beat up He rapped on the door with his hand while crazily yelling at me So since childhood, when someone gets loud, my mind goes blank Yeah thanks God haven't beat me up recently Already so frightened by them, whenever simply their voices are loud, my frigh even turns to this degree"
When I was about 8, one day my mother picked me up from school by bicycle, and I wiggled my feet, and the ankle of my left foot touched the bicycle chain and was stirred in, at that time I saw blood and white bones but I didn't dare to say anything because I was so afraid of my mother, thanks to a stanger - a grandpa behind us who said that the child's foot was stirred into the bicycle, but my mother always said that there was no such old grandpa and that it was she who couldn't pedal the bicycle and found out that on her own. Then my foot had to be stitched up with a needle a dozen times. But I haven't cried over that, and I didn't shed a single tear when I was 4 when I ran while playing but fell on a large pile of glass, resulting in a scar on my left temple. Having said that I have quite a lot of trauma on my body, I was in a vehicle accident in 2010's or 2011's (damn I can't even remember though I have a good memory I think more likely 2010) January, that resulted in an intracranial fracture and bleeding in my right ear for a week (my parents used to tell me not to talk to people about this lest they think you have a problem with your brain). I'm really terrified of traffic because of this, even standing at a five-way or intersection I get vertigo and feel like I'm going to drown from all the vehicles speeding past me. So not to mention driving a car, I can't even drive and don't want to learn how to drive a battery-operated bike, and I even seem to have gotten a little scar on my leg from a fall I took on a battery-operated bike between summer and fall this year. I can ride a bike at the most, but I haven't ridden one in at least nine years I guess. And when I was around 11 I tripped over a brick because the power went out in the street and I couldn't see the road, and I broke three of my incisors in some degree, how can I put it, I don't have any good teeth, I think it may be due to food safety issues of my country.
iii)
When I was in high school, I guess when I was aroud 15, my father jokingly used a swear word he learned from one of neighbors on me, "当婊子还要牌坊 https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%89%8C%E5%9D%8A Be a prostitute yet still wants to build up a paifang [It is a building erected in feudal society to honour meritorious achievements, success in Imperial examination https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_examination, benevolent gover, as well as loyalty and filial piety, and here it refers to the Paifang of Chastity.]". I am a person still haven't touched any man's hands by far and I didn't do anythinf wrong, then he used this kind of sentence to me. And he then asked me to accept his apology with two hundred RMB, which I had to accept because if I did not he might even get annoyed of shame and lose his temper even beat me up.
So sometimes when people like neighbors from my childhood, persuade me go to marriage (cuz at that time I didn't want), saying your father treat you so nice and you must can find someone like your father, ewwwwww, it's so disgusting, my father is so disgusting, beat me up, inslut me, I don't want man from my homeland at all
And my parents like my mother won't admit it, she said "I've been with your father so many years, he hasn't said any words like to me, how could it happen? That must be your imagination“
Tho I still have conscience in thinking they raised me up
iv) [Labor Law of the People's Republic of China
Chapter 4 Working Hours, Rests, and Leaves
Article 36 The State shall practise a working hour system wherein labourers shall work for no more than eight hours a day and no more than 44 hours a week on the average.
(Actually we work way more than this)
Article 38 The employer shall guarantee that its labourers have at least one day off a week.]
In my home province the minimum hourly wage is divided into four levels,21,20,19,18RMB (at this moment, 1 Euro = 7.77 Chinese Yuan, aka RMB),and in the current province I live it's 24,22,20. I used to have a temporary job in my town that was two days off a month,and my parents said why you can't do it as someone else is doing it,and I remember the hours of that job started at about 7:30am, besides, there was a man in that job who purposely tried to put a hot stamp drop on my legs.
So getting a job in China with two days off on the weekend is kind of considered a luxury, and one of my previous jobs had six days off a month.
And now I don't lay my eyes on jobs without two days off on the weekend.
v) https://weibo.com/1648736703/4955740219901047 Classic manly "let me test you". If it were me, even if I did have to speak German, I'd be practicing to be fluent before I'd have the nerve to say it in public, let alone record a video of it, and this man even sells English lessons. As some people said in the comments section, " There are so many women in China whose talent does not match their position, and even if they are very talented, they can only make a living at the grassroots level, and this phenomenon is rare in men, on the contrary, most of them do not have the talent to match their position. Women in this country have too few opportunities for advancement."

2024.04.23 20:54 2headsbetterthanone Corporate Work Gets A Bad Rap

I moved to the city after 2020. Before then, I never experienced the morning rush hour, the lunch break, or the after-work drinks nor did I have much experience at all with working. I came to a point in life where I realized that my degree meant nothing and I would be even more broke and even more unhappy after I graduated as I saw countless of my coursemates sign up for Master’s degrees as they also decided to hit the snooze button. I, like many others after 2020, started a business. The details of that can be discussed another day. However, like many others, I also started working a service job.
The Post-2020 food industry was not such a huge change from regular going-ons. Understandably, it was fuelled by panic and fear. Many restaurants were closing up shop or taking on huge debts. Two reasons. First is very obvious. Second, the chefs all decided to leave. Or just enough, to the point it got scary. The chefs had seen what seven-ten months of no work could do for you. No screaming. No cocaine. No ticket beeps. Just more than enough time to sleep and travel and eat and walk around and actually cook. Many didn’t return when it was time to. So they started hiring anybody they could. And who was lucky enough but me to see it all happen at a top restaurant in the big city.
In 2021, I had three jobs. My first job was my pitiful university degree I was still pursuing to not upset my parents, the second was managing the fashion business that had started to pick up and the third was as a full-time commis chef in Hicce in Kings Cross.
The biggest shock to me was how terribly I ate while I was there. Between fries, a mess plate of pasta and a pint with a cigarette, eating became a chore. And it only got worse when I had to cook for myself once I was home. By the time I got home at 1 am, I’d be so exhausted so I’d have a smoke, fall asleep then wake up to Apple’s Radar.
Brrring- brring, time to put on your apron.
Unbeknownst to me, dissimilar things were going on elsewhere in the world and with the help of free money, thanks JPow, business boomed and workers for a very short but important time in the world held an immeasurable amount of power. People jobhopped to double their salaries, demanded to stay at home and work culture became an overanalyzed discussion piece that is by and large, still very much ongoing till today and will definitely change our world in ways we cannot fully understand at the moment.
But back to the point. I had a girlfriend at the time who was one of these people. Until this point, I had grown familiar with the overly masculine grindset mindset way of making money - shake my hand, move fast break stuff, 6 pack, dropship, Sorkin. But now I met a girl who represented a growing section of the population - the educated post-millennial Vote-Clinton girlboss persona. My ex was a STEM major with a great CV, retarded about budgets and expenses, researching companies on Glassdoor, constantly updating her LinkedIn profile and it was all lost on me, a starving artist, bumming my way through life.
She is the silent majority of the 1%.
I quit my job on New Year’s Eve to cycle across London with my best friend. For some months, I was happily unhappily unemployed and my ex helped me write my CV. I got a job in a finance company, I quit to travel around Lebanon, spent some more months unemployed, did well in my business, then lost my business to a creative dispute (We can discuss that later) then I got a new job.
“I’ve been a rich man and I've been a poor man, and I choose rich every fucking time”
Look, this isn’t going to be for everyone, that’s the caveat. Some people can and others can’t and immediately you’d know yourself whether it’s worth it. Everybody is different but I am here to present this as an option, not a definite prescription.
First things first, in corporate, people don’t work that much.
Service demands your body and soul. From day one, you’re thrown very deep into the work and are given not much time at all before you’re waiting at a table, washing up a pile or talking to customers. It’s paid hourly because an hour without you means less efficiency and less productivity.
Corporate life is a lot of filibustering, gerrymandering, and shooting the shit. Most corporate businesses are dealing with significant portions of money held by significant people. It’s hard to get a lot done fast unless it’s a startup. Even still, a lot of time is ambient. Waiting for someone to grant permission to access a file, a smoke break, a coffee break, lunch, a meeting, or catching up with another co-worker. You may have heard of Bullshit Jobs. It’s true, I know my work is bullshit, but I’m happy it is because I don’t care for it, in the same way, I never cared for any restaurant I worked at or pub I washed dishes in or table I waited at.
Two, hybrid work is a game-changer.
I have no nostalgia. There is truly nothing more incredible than the fact you can now in the current time have the option to work outside of an office. During my finance job, I spent multiple working days in Amsterdam, Lisbon, Paris without a second thought. Most hybrid workers won’t tell you they wake up at 1 pm and go to bed at 3 pm. It’s kind of the same as the last point, you don’t do that much work in the office, you just have to spend a lot of time pretending you do.
It's easier to pretend on Teams.
Three, maybe work-life balance is real.
Working in service impacted my health. I got scalded hands, and I was either underfed, underslept, or under stress, but mostly all at the same time. It’s amazing what a 35 hour work-week does for you. Access to the gym, access to night-time activities, access to a whole new mode of life.
Not to mention, you now have the money to afford this stuff. To not have to count pennies and dimes every second, it’s a bit incredible that due to my artistic pomposity, I left myself for some years out of the greatest scam ever - full-time work.
Now, on how to actually get the job.
Step One: A good resume is a great start.
Recruiters will go through more than 100 CVs in a day. Of course, standing out is important but that’s mostly in them being able to read and understand the damn thing.
So don’t go crazy, and don’t put your photo, unless you’re incredibly hot. Don’t put any of those funky gizmos or graphics. Just easy-to-read bullet points. Think of it as a fact sheet, they have requirements (facts) and they need to check it versus your document.
Every bullet point needs to be quantified, look, these guys have targets and their job is bullshit like yours, they want to be able to easily compare people to their managers, so making their job easier makes it easier for you to get the job.
Here are two examples:
A
“Creation of pastries, coffee drinks, and a large menu of breakfast and lunch items at high volume, table service restaurant.”
B
“Serving over 100 customers daily with a selection of 200+ items, all in under 30 minutes on average.”
Put yourself in their shoes. Who can send a better email? A is wordy, with unimportant details, what does high-volume mean? B is efficient, maximizing production and understands what a deadline is.
Therefore, use percentages and numbers, and convert things into things that make sense from a numerical, progressive POV. Each bullet point should be one line maximum and you’d need at least 3-8 points per job.
Unless you’ve done nothing, you can extract and embellish as much value as you can get out of work you’ve done that can make you have a decent standing versus other people. For legal considerations, I don’t know how much I can tell you to embellish but don’t get caught.
On job titles, please just make yourself a manager.
You managed yourself, didn’t you? Who gives a shit?
Get familiar with some of the tools and tech your chosen industry uses or do the thing I’m legally not allowed to mention. Use any other space to shed more light on who you are. A summary is great to give people an understanding of your experience at a glance, an interests section gives them more knowledge on your personality but make sure to get it all down in less than 2 pages. Anything more means you're being silly.
Also, last tip, don’t include your graduation year in your CV. Why would I hire a X-year old? They can figure out your age once you’ve signed your contract.
Step Two: LinkedIn
LinkedIn is where most jobs are. You should already have 500+ connections. If you don’t, you’re already one step behind. On a level, it sucks that you have to debase yourself to become a Dhakan bot farm but you are competing with the Dhakan job farm. Get a good photo, don’t use the ugly #Opentowork banner (desperate), update your info and then start hitting the button.
Focus on a sector of what you’re good at that aligns with your experience.
Remember, factsheet but also, pay and spray. You might be wasting your time, applying for Director positions when you have 1 year of internship experience, maybe. But make the filters for your search and everything extremely customised and specific for what you want and can realistically achieve.
There’s an internalistic ratio - how prepared am I to work here vs how competitive is it? Don’t waste your time and energy on anapplication you’re not passionate about. If you can’t write a good non-ChatGPT cover letter for a place you love, be prepared to not get the job.
Moreover, also prepare yourself for rejections, there will be a lot. Over my six months of unemployment, I had 478 rejections, 49 interviews, and then one job. Just remember the end goal - the one job.
Step Three: The Interview
It’s easy - suck their dick. Do as much research as you can before the interview and just act like it’s your dream to work as a project manager lol. Nobody cares, the managers just want to see passion. Lie. If you can’t get to the second stage interview, you’re not lying hard enough or you don’t seem ecstatic enough.
Don’t be a pain. Say everything they want to hear until you get the job. Once you’re in, underpromise and overdeliver; chances are there are dumber people than you on the job, they just have an MBA like that means anything.
Remember, fact-sheet, look at the job requirements and then say everything they want to hear you say. Your CV, unless you’re editing for each job application, probably doesn’t hit their 100% mark, so when you get on the interview, remember to hit on each note. If they’re looking for a team player, discuss when you led your team of regard waiters to success at that corporate lunch event. Whatever.
Besides, also dress nice and look nice. Like everything else in the world, people will make their judgements about you before you can even speak. They want young, hot, fun people to put on their business page.
Step Four: The Final Interview
Be one of the first to be interviewed, choose the earliest possible date and time.
Speak confidently and if asked about how much money you want, be clear but communicative.
In most cases, if you don’t get the job after this, they already had someone else who was more experienced and you were the option if things went nuclear with them. It’s okay. Get the feedback though, get that yummy feedback to get better.
Step Five: The Job
Congrats. You did it.
I’ve been at my job for some time now and it’s helped me in ways I didn’t think about before.
They love the working man, oh yes, they do.
This advice is pretty basic but works across project management, customer service, recruitment, marketing, sales etc but not super qualified jobs (who wants to be a lawyer anyway?).
Be aware though, that in 10 years, your job will be done by a dude in Rajasthan or by AI.
So you better use all this new time to work on your creative self, as you promised, and which was the reason for getting the job in the first place - to support your actual ambitions.
In conclusion, it takes time - it took me months to learn this and then to get the job to get to write this but it’s way more worth it than being a fucking line cook.

2024.04.23 19:49 Competitive_Tie_9576 Johns Hopkins SAIS MAIR Review (2nd Year Graduating in May 2024)

TL;DR

I am a second-year MAIR student at SAIS who applied and enrolled with 3+ years of experience. SAIS has given me some great opportunities, and I've met some incredible people, but the MAIR program, in particular, does not serve the needs of older students. The current average age of the incoming class is 23, much younger than competitor programs (Georgetown, Fletcher, SIPA), and the SAIS experience is suffering as a result.

My background and goals

I studied IR and econ as an undergrad, spent 1+ years living overseas through a fellowship program, and worked in the US in the private sector for a few years before enrolling at SAIS. I attended SAIS for a few reasons: I could continue working at my job (part-time), explore opportunities in the federal government, and take many econ and finance classes to explore opportunities in organizations like the Development Finance Corporation. I briefly entertained the idea of applying to MBA programs in my first semester at SAIS (moving to a joint-degree status) but decided against it as I didn't think business school would be worth the cost given my career goals.

Why did I apply to SAIS?

In addition to the goals outlined above, I applied to SAIS due to the rave reviews of specific alums I knew personally or professionally. In particular, these alumni noted a few key factors about SAIS:
I considered a few other MA programs (such as the JHU master's in applied economics, which is taught in DC) but ultimately decided that networking is one of the primary value drivers of a master's degree. I felt SAIS was the better option.

Thoughts on different attributes of SAIS relevant for prospective students

I've broken down my thoughts into more organized categories below. I initially considered using a pro/cons list, but my feelings about SAIS are more nuanced than just good and bad. I want to re-emphasize that my perspective comes from a student in their mid/late 20s, and my age colors my feelings. I also have had many friends attend other graduate programs, including law school, business school, and other MA programs, so my expectations are shaped by what they've conveyed to me. In no particular order, here are some takeaways.
Student Age: SAIS MAIR students are younger than I had hoped or expected. The SAIS MAIR website notes that the average age of the incoming class of 2023 was 23. Fletcher MALD lists an average age of 27; Georgetown MSFS is 26. I couldn't find a specific age for SIPA MIA, but their website states that most successful applicants have at least three years of work experience and that only 5 to 10 percent of accepted students are straight from undergrad. When I applied in 2020, the SAIS MAIR class profile listed an average incoming age of 25; in 2015, it was 26. I'm not sure why SAIS is trending younger, but it impacted my experience. I hoped to be surrounded by students with multiple years of work experience, which hasn't been the case. Professionally, many of my classmates are applying for entry-level roles, whereas I'm looking for associate-level roles. Academically, many students are still trying to figure out what interests them, whereas I have my academic goals locked down. On the social side, it is more difficult for someone 25+ to become good friends with a 22-year-old. There is less potential for overlapping interests and experiences. I'd advise older applicants to pay close attention to SAIS' younger average age in their grad school application and enrollment decisions.
New Building: In fall 2023, SAIS moved entirely from its old location in Dupont Circle to the new Bloomberg Center on Pennsylvania Avenue, right next to the US Capitol. I think the new building has pros and cons. It has harmed the feeling of a "SAIS community" -- the two buildings that made up the old campus were super old, but everyone in those buildings was affiliated with SAIS, and they had a certain charm. The new building hosts SAIS classes, JHU MBA classes, JHU fundraising events, and all sorts of other stuff. As a result, it doesn't feel like SAIS is a separate entity, and it is hard for clubs and student organizations to reserve space. However, I think the location of the new building is probably much more accessible by the metro, and the classrooms and event spaces are super cool.
Academics: Ultimately, SAIS is a terminal MA program. This means that SAIS should give you the knowledge, skills, and connections to get a cool job in the broader international relations arena. Many SAIS professors fail to consider this, meaning I've spent 2.5 hours a week for semesters just listening to a professor read off of a PowerPoint with no room for student interaction. SAIS requires all MAIR students to take "core" classes - I found some good and some bad. These core classes were usually pretty large (40+ students). Two core classes I took, Evolution of the International System and American Foreign Policy Since 1945, had a midterm and final essay as the primary grades. It was clear that the professors did not read any of our papers, and the feedback we got on our papers was usually a letter grade along with a sentence or two review from the TA. I found this to be the case across several SAIS classes - a professor would assign a research paper of 2,500 and 5,000 words only to provide little feedback. In hindsight, this was super lazy and frustrating.
Practitioners have taught my favorite classes. Usually, these are working professionals with day jobs at places like DoD, the IMF, think tanks, or elsewhere. Most practitioner-taught courses I've enrolled in are geared toward job market preparation. These people know what it takes to land (and succeed in) an excellent job, whether in public, private, or multilateral organizations.
Course load: The MAIR program's academic course load (four classes per semester, plus a language class if pursuing proficiency in a language) can sometimes be too much, especially for students with internships or part-time jobs. I understand that at Georgetown MSFS, the course load is reduced in year 2, which allows students more time to intern and network, which seems like a good approach to me.
Administration: The SAIS administration drags the program down. Tuition is for classes, classroom space, and the numerous other services a graduate school provides (career services, student events, etc.). I believe students do not get their money's worth in these aspects. Harvard Business School's tuition is $76k annually; SAIS' is $62k. SAIS students are not getting 82% (62k/76k) of the career support or networking opportunities that HBS students receive. Many younger students, who might be straight from undergrad, don't demand these services because they don't see their importance. This problem is exacerbated by the aloof nature of the SAIS higher-ups (particularly Dean Steinberg). I feel like a Dean should be actively engaging with students, trying to develop a cohesive organizational narrative, and working to get everyone on board. I don't see that happening at SAIS - students and student clubs lead most outreach efforts to alumni and employers but seem to run into an administration that isn't concerned with the student experience or outcomes. From what I can tell, the Dean hosts cool speakers a few times a semester but isn't digging into how to improve the SAIS experience for students. For example, SAIS' career services office has had a ton of turnover in the last few years, with a few long-time employees retiring. Currently, to my understanding, only 3 or 4 full-time career services employees for all of SAIS (not just MAIR -- everyone). Everyone in the career office does a great job, but there aren't enough people to serve the needs of the whole student body.
Cohorts/Student Unity: SAIS' campus unity is pretty disappointing compared to what I heard from many alumni. I think a lot of this comes down to the fact that there are six or seven different degree programs at SAIS, all taking the same classes. This means that it feels like a commuter school - most people come on campus just for classes and maybe are in one or two clubs, but there isn't a coordinated student body. The aloof nature of the administration exacerbates this issue, which, if anything, usually makes it harder for clubs or students to organize events (especially in the new building, where registering for space is a huge pain).
Alumni: One bright point has been the alumni. I've reached out to quite a few over LinkedIn, and almost always, people are happy to chat or even provide referrals. This is way better than my experience networking with people from my undergraduate institution.
Final thoughts: I would not recommend the SAIS MAIR program to anyone who is 25+. SAIS has some other degree options (MIPP, MIEF) that are only one year and have less annoying degree requirements, like core classes. I'd also recommend considering the opinions of more recent SAIS MAIR alumni - most people I've spoken to who graduated before, say, 2018, have rave reviews of SAIS. Still, I feel that many in more recent cohorts have more mixed feelings. I also want to note that this is just one student's experience - I've tried to be impartial. Still, others in my cohort probably feel happy with the education and expertise SAIS provided. Hopefully, this will be helpful to anyone thinking of pursuing graduate education in IR.

Do they inspect dog tags? I am not in the military but my partner is and I want to get him a third dog tag with some specialized stuff. It would have the same folded edges, etc, as the originals. Would that be fine?

I’m considering looking into joining but I’m worried about how I’ll be perceived physically. But I’m not very strong, I’m small and I suffer from a foot pain condition(metatarsalgia) I don’t know if it’s a disability but it’s been holding me back from even trying. Any thoughts?

I'm in the medical waiver process for Army Louisiana National Guard, but think I'd rather be active.
I feel like I'd rather be active 3 years, then drop down to the reserves. National guard will pay for my masters of social work the same as active, but I feel like doing part of my service active will be better than just trying to only be reserves. I have a bachelors of general studies, so I could potentially be an officer, but I've never really thought of myself as a leader. I think of myself more like a therapist, with untreated ADHD (which is what the waiver is for).
I'm interested in University of Kentucky's Army MSW.

Hi all,
How do army teach push-ups? I am trying to get my normal push-up and get to twenty five in a row, only to learn that my form was wrong (I tried to compensate my weak biceps with pulling my hips and ass up) I've been trying variety of push-up lessons online and been doing pushup thrice a week, but I am pretty discouraged by a lack of any real improvement.
So, I want to ask: how does army teach soldiers push-ups? Surely they must be doing something right, considering how they manage to turn obese or underweighted folks into soldiers. I want to be in the best form I can be before dedicating to the army.
Best regards,

I am asking for guidance with my career path. I am a 31y who recently got my degree. Job hiring in CS/IT is garbo currently and Army had openings. Dont have the experience to direct commission. heard if you do OCS off the bat, they put you where they need you with no guaranteed MOS. If I do get into a technical minded MOS, I hear officers do more admin tasks which would take away from me wanting to get CS/IT experience. I know the age limit for OCS is 31y so if I don't try now, I wont be able to (recruiter says there are age waivers but I will not bank on it). I also hear it is hard getting picked to go enlisted to commissioned. Can people verify if I heard right and that I am thinking in the correct mindset?
Background info:
I have qualified for 17c
I got my degree from my second attempt at college after flunking out. as such, my final gpa is ~2.70ish, so academically I am not competitive.

To make a long story short...I am trying to enlist in the army and passed my physical already, and scored high on the ASVAB. But I have a charge that was turned over on appeal for harassment. Then another police report (no charges, no arrest) for a temporary restraining order against me.
Two commanders at Battalion level signed off for suitability, but once it went higher up, they now want a full blown moral conduct waiver. I have obtained two character reference letters from friends who have both served honorably in the military, plus one from a police officer. Aside from these two blemishes, I have never been in trouble with the law- not even with a single speeding ticket. What are my chances of getting this waiver approved?

Hey all, just went to MEPS today but didn’t sign. They offered me 35W, which is what I want, but the bonus was only $27k for a 5 year contract. I’ve seen much higher. I also needed an etp for body fat and the counselor said that adversely affected the bonus, as did my delayed ship date. Can I reasonably expect a bigger bonus if I go back in 6 or 8 weeks having lost enough weight to not require a waiver and with a closer ship date? Thanks!

I enlisted the air force back in 2018 as a linguist but during BMT was dq’d because of my parent’s citizenship. I was asked to sign new contract but refused and was told i would need to speak to 1st sgt to get ELS’d but he was on leave and i was graduating next week. They said if he wasnt back id have to go maintenance regardless. Week goes by hes not there i sign 5 min later someone comes fir me saying 1st sgt wants to speak to me… too late. Graduated bmt as an honor grad. During tech school i said I would unalive myaelf if i was sent to flight line. I got sent to inpatient and a few weeks later i was honorably discharged in 2019. This was 5 years ago, i regret doing that to get out. Would i be able to enlist in national guard? I’ve talked to a recruiter and we’re waiting on my medical paperwork to apply for a waiver is it worth trying?

Hi Everyone. I’ve been doing some research on my own I ship out to basic training on Monday. I have two main questions. If anyone can guide me with an answer or somewhere that does I would really appreciate it. 1. I’m divorced I have child support payments and my recruiter has no idea if I’ll be able to revive bah while in basic. How do I go about this I had a friend of mine reach out to someone in finance they said I would be elegible for “BAQ-Diff as since I will be housed though BCT. Am I just supposed to bring this up during processing? 2. I have some student loans I put them in deferment. I have seen a good amount of people on this thread or other threads on here say they apply for the pslf how does that work?

Evening fellas, so I'm separated from the Navy and in college now and I have a younger classmate who is looking to join the army. I have successfully convinced him of the benefits of completing college then joining. In the Navy there does exist an option that once college is completed you can apply for OCS and the Navy will eat your college loans in exchange for an equivalent amount of years in service once commissioned, 4:5 I think it was. Does such a program exist for the Army or would having him apply to ROTC be the most prudent option for him? Good student, Hungarian immigrant to the US, I believe he possesses citizenship. I just want to make sure I give the guy the right information to get him on a good track.

My recruiter called me saying they were asking for any document pertaining to Migraine but in reality, I have never been diagnosed for Migraine! I probably made some visits in the past (7/8 years ago) where I might have discussed with doctor or filled up those questionnaires you get at doctor's office about having headaches and all but that was it. Usually they were mostly from lack of sleep or food, so I have no clue what to do in this situation! My recruiter is saying they will ask them to specify what kind of document they're exactly looking for, otherwise I will have to write an Applicant Statement for it! Has anyone ever been in this kind of situation? If yes, what happened?

How do I retake the ASVAB retake
I did my ASVAB and scored a 59 AFQT. However, I focused only on mechanical maintenance for a 15 series job (which I got, shipping in 18 days). I scored a 117 MM line score (the requirement was 104MM).
I scored a 102 GT, and I'm not happy with my GT score, and I want to change that. The reason for that is that I want to drop a flight Warrant packet, which requires a minimum 110GT score. Is there anything I can do to pump it up as high as I want while being enlisted?

Army TA. I’m in the Louisiana Army National Guard and using TA. I have used the allotted 16 credit hours for the year. It is supposed to renew yearly. Does anyone know if it is the FISCAL year, or the CALENDAR year? Fiscal year for the Army is Oct. 1 - and I’m hoping to be able to continue classes then.
I have asked my states TA coordinator. I sent him the exact same question and he came back with “Yes, that is correct.” 🙄
Which is correct? Fiscal, or calendar? lol.

Deciding duty station
So I’m 17, doing Airborne Infantry with choice of duty station. My main choice is Italy for 173rd, but my recruiter says it’s rare for that to be available and he will have to see if a few weeks, if that is not available, do you guys think I should try for Bragg and go 82nd? Or 11th ABN, I know it’s a new unit and haven’t seen a whole lot about it but I think it would be a cool experience being in Alaska, just wanted to ask around.

I also posted this on the main subreddit but i figured Id put it here too
I have been thinking for a bit about joining the army, but I know so little about it. Somebody told me that the minimum time commitment you can have in the army active duty is 2 years, which sounds like a lot to me. since I have no idea what it is like, what if I got a few months or a year into it and ended up hating it? is there any way for me to get a taste of what it is like before signing away years of my life?
From the research I have done, Ive heard that Army National Guard might fit the bill in that you have 6 months of training and they you only have to show up once every few weeks or when a disaster happens, but it still has a minimum time requirement of 3 years or something so I still wouldnt be able to quit if I wanted to. is there any way at all to find out if it is for me? or is the only way just to hop into the deep end and hope you didnt just sign up for the worst two years of your life?
(the reason I dont ask a recruiter these questions is because I have been told several times that they will just tell you whatever you need to hear to get you to sign up.)

What are the chances of me not being able to re-take my physical? I tried to enlist about 2 years ago if my memory is correct and went through a bunch of BS and recently decided I wanted to give it another shot. Talked to a recruiter, and he said that my physical was expired. From my understanding, this usually wouldn't be an issue. However, in my case, he had said there is a chance I might be ineligible to go back down to MEPS and re-do the whole physical process. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry for the lengthy comment.
I am currently trying to enlist into the army.
I was on medication for a misdiagnosed condition from July until October of last year, the diagnosis has since been rejected by numerous medical professionals but it is still on my record.
I was able to take the ASVAB and scored a 98, which I think might help my case in all this. I was told by my recruiter that I could get a waiver but that it may take more time, but I'm not sure if I'm able to based on personal research.

I have a few questions about the m.o.s I chose for the national guard
I am in Idaho and am 17 for reference. My first choice was 19k because of the sign on bonus, and I just thought the job was interesting. My second choice was 13b because it also came with a sign on bonus, as well as being able to work with artillery seemed cool to me. My final choice was 19d because I wasn’t sure what to choose for a third option as well as it still allowed me to be near tanks and stuff like that. I guess my questions would be what is the daily life like for each job? My second question would be did I make a mistake choosing any of these jobs? I appreciate any feedback that I can get as I am trying to go to basic this summer.
