I was wondering if anyone has any personal experience living in any of these states as a trans person. My family is planning on moving soon and are debating between these 3 states. Maybe they’d consider other ones too but as of now it’s looking like one of these.
I’ve done a little research and seen that Washington and Oregon are a pretty good place for the LGBT community but the one I’m worried about is Idaho, which is unfortunately looking like the one they’re leaning towards. I think if we went there it would be Boise, which I’m seeing is more accepting than the rest of the state, but I’m wondering if that’s just in comparison or if it really is an okay place to live. Also I’m pre-T and looking to transition within the next few years and want to make sure I’d be able to wherever we move.
Any opinions are welcome and appreciated. Thank you!

What is the role of in engine training?
In my limited experience I have personally found it to be far more impactful than using kovaaks. ie. For a 3 week period of training I actually experience the benefits and confidence.
There are several old school vids on how to develop good Tac FPS aim in engine. Wilsoncs2 basically sums them up in this video.
https://youtu.be/rwQDzmd1rUo?si=i_IqSseMfvvmq-Ec
The basics for me are: - Varying DIY tracking drills in an empty server - range activities (apex/cs2) - combined movement and aim drills - basic drills shooting bullet holes in the wall for microcorrections and varying flicks - reflexive flicks in deathmatch or range
VDIM seems very unrealistic to me in terms of time commitment unless you have a lot of time or wish to not play your game for a while. I do see the value in coaching/self coaching to determine weaknesses in aim and focusing on those with specific drills in kovaaks. But I am starting to believe that, in terms of time spent, going for voltaic ranks loses out vs. in game engine + deathmatch.
Just a thought, wonder what you folks think. Perhaps i am being a bit binary here

The Buzz on the Spin
“That’s the third time the call was dropped.” Hoagie states the obvious.
“From what I can tell they’re being hacked like it’s the latest fad. Even if our call goes through clean it’s going to be seen by an audience of several billion at least.” Demon replies. His tiny little girl is sitting on his shoulder so everyone’s watching their language, even Zsebreza. Sure, Kathy was growing quick and was developing a good sense of humour, but not even Minisi wanted to be responsible for teaching her the naughty words.
It takes several more tries with the bridge crew chuckling at things before suddenly the link is accepted to find a thoroughly unamused Asian Man glaring at them. The man then lets out a breath. “Two hundred and eighty six separate calls with the image of a woman presenting herself. I have never been simultaneously flattered and insulted.”
“Spoiled for choice sir?” Demon asks.
There is a moment of a pause as the man’s eyebrow quirks in frustration. “Yes.”
“I’m afraid it’s a common issue the galaxy over sir, we humans are hot commodity. Even a hideous slob of a man would find himself inundated with attention. A competent man with goals, ideals and motivation? A feast before the starving sir.” Hoagie says.
“Clearly Officer Eastman.” He says before relaxing a little. “I am Observer Wu. I have been charged by the nations of Earth with baring impartial witness to what has occurred the galaxy over. I have already spoken to several pockets of humanity, including but not limited to three other space stations, the newly risen nobility of Vucsa and of course, The Dauntless and the Embassy on Centris.”
“So what are you looking for? We’ve sent back numerous eyewitness testimonies and as much in the way of resources and proof of our claims that can survive the damaging effects of Cruel Space. A fair portion of exotic material and cadavers were actually supplied from this very station. What more do you need?”
“I just wish to speak with people. I will be communicating with and travelling to every major locations where humans have touched in the galaxy. To see the truth of things with unclouded eyes.” Observer Wu says and there are some nods. “Now then, if you could describe your location and posting please?”
“Certainly, we’ll do that in reverse though if you don’t mind.”
“I do not.”
“We are posted here to both ensure that we have friendly contacts in an area of interest and to learn more about the galaxy at large. Between ourselves and our fellows posted at other stations we are writing the operations manual for how to maintain, police, administrate, protect and supply a fully functional space station with a substantial permanent population. We’re also recruiting and keeping our eyes out for unusual technologies, tactics and techniques. This station alone contains a permanent population that rivals several first world nations on Earth with an industrial capacity well beyond what those nations can provide.”
“Can it now? This station is self sustaining? Food, air and other such supplies?”
“It turns out that a great deal of air is released by harvesting asteroids. Most of them contain a large amount of ice, even when they’re primarily minerals of some kind. Food is grown in hydroponics on such a scale we outright export it. The mining provides the metals and other materials for further products and again, hydroponics of a different source give us oils which leads to plastics, cloth comes in too. The station is completely self sustaining at this point. If the rest of the galaxy was to vanish then all we need are some rocks and we can keep this place going forever.” Demon explains and Observer Wu nods.
“And have you learned about these techniques and technologies?”
“Yes, however many of them are reliant upon Axiom.”
“And the control of the station?” He asks and Minisi pokes at a few of them with her tentacles to get people to shift away. “And you are... the woman in charge I believe?”
“Indeed. Although not for too much longer. I’ve had my fun but the station has become a tedium. I will admit that your species showing up has broken up the monotony a touch, but only enough to give me enough time to really make sure my heiress has this place on lock and with an unmatched command crew.”
“And you’re fine with them having that level of power?” Observer Wu asks and Minisi has a tentacle point right down at Hoagie.
“This one has been in charge of over ten percent of my station. The most productive Agriculture Decks we have are in his power, both officially and unofficially. The businesswomen there fear the flamingo shirts!”
“Hey, I got flowers on at least half of them.” Hoagie protests and she turns to him.
“Hey hey hey! Station boss or not, no horning on my hubby!” Zsebreza says buzzing into view and pressing back on the woman who leans back in amusement.
“You Charbis are so easy to rile up...” She says fondly as Zsebreza sheathes her weapon while still giving her a massive stinkeye.
“So that video was not an elaborate prank in horrific taste.” Observer Wu notes.
“Reality is stranger than fiction sir.” Hoagie notes.
“Indeed it is, and now that you’ve confused me, I am going to return the favour.” Observer Wu states and Hoagie looks from side to side and everyone else is equally baffled.
“Sir?” Hoagie asks as Observer Wu presses a button on his armrest and requests for a certain passenger to be sent up. “What is this...”
He freezes entirely as the camera shifts and he can see... “Mom?”
“Daniel!” Janet Eastman says with a smile. “And... one of those... things that got you.”
“I told you we needed to edit that video.” Zsebreza says.
“But it would clearly have been faked in some way and...” Hoagie trails off. “I... are you alright? The way out of Cruel Space is no fun.”
“It.. it was not pleasant, but I worked in the kitchens for most of it and it kept me busy.” She says.
“Familiar territory then.”
“A starship mess hall is NOTHING like a Corner Bistro in New York.” Janet says and he chuckles.
“Are you sure you’re alright? I mean... the rail shot into orbit, the initial training...”
“I’m part of the civilian experiment. To see how easy or hard it is to get people out of our little corner of the galaxy.”
“And the verdict Miss Hoagie’s mother?” Minisi asks in an amused tone.
“Something needs to be done about the zero-gravity trip. It’s too much. I’ve needed some chemical help to stay calm during parts of the trip.”
“Yeah, it’s not much better when you’re trained for it.” Hoagie says. “Are you coming here?”
“Of course! Those videos were horrifying! If those girls are walking all over you like that then I don’t care if I’m numbered two hundred to one or two thousand to one! I didn’t work my butt off as a waitress when you were a little boy just to see a bunch of bees walk all over you! So I’m putting you on notice!” She growls out.
“Okay lady, I’m giving you the private number, because I love that attitude. And because we need to get ahead of this before there’s a war kicked off.” Zsebreza promises.
“There is no war that’s going to kick off. Mother, Charbis are a very defensive species and refuse to let people see their relaxed state unless they have absolute trust. No exceptions. That’s why you’ve never seen them in anything less than one of their most agitated states. When not safely in the hive a Charbis is only a few moments away from violence.”
“Is the hive like a beehive?”
“It’s not made of waxy hexagons. It’s a bunker with innumerable defences and very comfortable on the inside. They’re so reinforced and secure that it’s the most defensive part on the station barring the other Hives.”
“Hey, you’re really pushing it...”
“I haven’t said anything secret. I haven’t shown anything secret. Anyone with working eyes can see a Hive is nearly impossible to attack if they want to live, and with how wealthy and good with crops Charbis are in general, any idiot can figure out that they have plenty within the hive.”
“Well... yes, but the idea that anyone has any idea what the hives are like...” Zsebreza says and then Janet’s eyes widen as she realizes exactly what she’s seeing.
“Oh! It’s like THAT! No wonder you haven’t bothered running. It’s not too different from home was it?”
“Tough on the outside, everything you want inside? Pretty much.” Hoagie says and a very relieved Janet lets out a sigh of relief.
“Good. I’m still coming over though.”
“But, what about back home? Aren’t you?”
“Daniel. It’s okay. The old building was... well it was soon to be decommissioned anyway.”
“Oh... and I suppose the little place out back...”
“Gone too.” Janet says.
“I see.” Hoagie says.
“Are you alright?” Zsebreza asks and he nods.
“Yeah it just... the place I grew up is gone. Even if there was a way back to Earth, a true way, then I still couldn’t got home again.”
“Everyone leaves home eventually. Not everyone can go back.” Janet says. “Still. Don’t think you’re keeping me away, just because I’ve gotten an idea about you young lady. I’m coming to make sure you’re treating my little boy right. If this is a woman’s galaxy, then this woman is making sure her boy is with the best in the galaxy. Understand me?!”
“Mom!”
“Daniel.” She says even as he gives one of his fellows a dirty look when they snort. They put their hands up and back away. “So fierce young man. Now...”

He simply watches the video feed as mother and son speak. Trying to get a grip on the body language of the alien creatures. There’s a great deal of play and movement around the Charbis Bee woman, the ears are a massive tell on the Ikiya-Mas girl and the Mnenmi seemed utterly passive, in control. The men seemed either comfortable or excited and things seemed to be matching up.
Of course Mother Eastman was an open book to his practised eye, worried, putting on a brave front but the kind of woman who had given up her life to raise a child properly and was now chasing him out of not only maternal duty, but a sense of emptiness now that her great struggle was finished.
He knew her story. A sad tale of how to people, neither with families, had found each other and then shortly as life seemed to be picking up for the happy ending, an accident had taken the father, leaving a single mother to mourn and raise a child alone. A woman with no really marketable skills beyond being a woman and having a sympathetic story. She had been hired and remained hired at a moderately successful Bistro for over a decade, even being held on because she had a teenage son at home working a part time to help out.
Sad story, but one that had given her and the boy spines of steel. Still, open book regardless and...
His communicator goes off and he checks it. It is a text from an unknown number.
-Enjoying the show? ~Minisi
His eyebrows climb up a little and he reconsiders his thoughts on the octopus alien. She’s clearly very aware of things, and likely has the implants required to communicate without being obvious. Or he’s looking at a body double. Either way, she’s tipped her hand for... some reason. Which is bothering him. Why did she reveal this?
There is no way to determine without further interaction. So he replies with a simple yes.
-Good, a voyeur who doesn’t even enjoy the show is just a bore.
Is she just mocking him? This seems to be more mockery than anything. So he asks a simple question.
-Why does it matter?
-It doesn’t. You’re a prickly one aren’t you?
-Yes, I am. Is there an issue?
-Not at all.
Well that’s not useful. Is she just poking him for entertainment? She still hasn’t moved at all beyond basic shows of amusement as mother and son make plans to get her to the station and the Charbis daughter in law is putting on a clearly fake show of protesting having the woman be brought into the hive.
A hand falls onto his shoulder and he jumps in his seat a little before turning to see a smiling, but old and withered face. “Can I help you?”
“I was just wondering if I could make use of the communication relays next. As entertaining as the last few months were, I do think I should give a proper warning to my approach. If only to see how the boy responds.”
“Do you think he will respond poorly?”
“Only if he’s changed far more than I’d expect. But who knows? The mystery is half the fun of life now, isn’t it?” The elderly man says. Observer Wu considers for a few moments. This man had broken into his personal office without setting off an alarm, without alerting the guards and all the while needing a cane and with his joints audibly creaking.
“If you tell me how you broke in Mister Koga, then I think I can accommodate you.”
“Oh that? Easy enough, follow me lad, I’ll show you where you need a few more eyes. Or lasers! Lasers are always fun. Not as much as a guard dog, but having a poor inu in the vents is just cruel no matter how much you dislike chihuahuas.”
“That was rather specific.”
“I was suppose it was wasn’t it? Anyways, this way young man.”

I am a parent of a troubled teen and this is my first post on Reddit. I registered for an account, just to make this post.
About three months ago, I found a post on Reddit discussing Red Hawk Academy in Littlefield, Arizona and it made me so angry I posted a response.
You can find the original posting at troubledteens Beetlejuicenewton.
Here was my written response to the original post:
"This comment is absolutely inaccurate and incorrect. My daughter has been there for months. I speak to her every week and we exchange letters throughout the week. This is the third program, she has been in and hands down the best program. You should not make accusations when you are not the parent and not actively involved in the program. I highly recommend this program. The staff are incredible and have helped my daughter tremendously. To all parents out there, call the school and ask to speak to Valerie. I have told Valerie that I will gladly speak to any parents who are interested in the school. This program has saved my daughter.) and was utterly shocked about what was being said about Red Hawk Academy."
Not understanding how social media works (in this case Reddit), I did not know that one's opinion can be removed from a site if the comment is contrary to the original post.
After posting this comment, I received an email from Reddit that my post had been removed and I was banned from the conversation. It took me awhile to calm down, but now I am in a place where I create a thoughtful post discussing my life with a troubled daughter and our experience with RHA.
Unlike the troubledteens Beetlejuicenewton post, I will not ban individuals who disagree with me.
This is my story...
In 2020, I started to notice a difference in my daughter who was 13 years old. I started to see a shift in her behavior. She was being inappropriate while on the internet, hanging out with troubled kids, and being very unkind to her family members. She started to lie, which turned into chronic lying. She started to get mad and hit her head into the wall. She never hit her head hard enough to receive a concussion, but it did get our attention. One day, I sat her down to discuss her behavior and took her phone. When I opened the phone, she had a screensaver that was a short clip of 2 toddlers being hit by a car. When I asked her why she had this as her screensaver, she said she thought it was funny.
Fast forward a couple of months....she was in therapy that was completely useless. She managed to make a handful of the therapist cry or get really upset. My daughter seemed to find humor in upsetting others. Her lack of empathy was beyond scary. She continued to hit her head into the wall every time she was upset. She then threatened to hurt herself, but it seemed to be more of a threat than anything else.
Fast forward three years...from the age of 15 to 16....she tried to "kill" herself twice (actually didn't really hurt herself, but it did get her into the hospital), hospital dependent (always wanted to be admitted to the hospital), suspended from school for inappropriate behavior (my daughter and her boyfriend were making out at lunch with hands down each others' pants), shoplifted (she shoplifted back-to-back days and took her little brother with her to provide cover), unprotected sex (I only found out because she thought she was pregnant), lying all of the time (she forgot how to tell the truth), cutting herself and still hitting her head into the wall, treated her little brother like crap (he would come to me crying, and tell me that he just wanted a "normal" sister), experimented with drugs (she only told me because she was feeling off and was scared), allowed strangers on the internet watch her sleep)....the list goes on and on.
This all happened within the timespan of 1 year! She was diagnosed with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and borderline personality disorder. (For parents with daughters who have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, there is a great book I found on Amazon - When you Daughter has BPD: Essential Skills to Help Families Manage Borderline Personality Disorder by Daniel S. Lobel, PhD.)
Our family finally hit the breaking point. My husband and I were fighting all of the time, my son was so upset about his sister's behavior, and I was on the verge of having a breakdown. I cried all of the time and was so very sad about what was happening to my daughter.
We decided that we needed to send her some place. We could not manage her and she needed more help than we could provide. We sent her to a wilderness camp in Utah that came highly recommended by our therapist. I was scared to send her there, but I did not know what else to do. During her time at the wilderness camp, we had a neuropsychological assessment conducted, which resulted in an autism diagnosis. While she was slightly on the spectrum, it was clear that her behavior was driven by her borderline personality disorder. Within 5 weeks at the facility, we were advised that she was not a good fit for the program and we needed to find a therapeutic boarding school for her.
The wilderness program recommended a therapeutic boarding school in Oregon. We enrolled her in this program. She was a hot mess...she would not get out of bed and refused to go to school. She starting hitting her head into the wall (again), which the staff would not stop because the facility was a "no touch" facility, and the staff would just attempt to "redirect" her. She would punch and kick walls. Within 4 weeks of being at the school, the school called us and told us that we needed to immediately come pick her up because she was threatening to harm the staff members.
We felt desperate and full of despair. We did not know where to turn. We found the one and only program that has helped her....RED HAWK ACADEMY.
I initially called and spoke to Valerie. She and her husband, Sonny, own the school. Instantly, I felt heard and understood. During that initial conversation it came up that the school had received a reputation (not at the school's request) as the school that would take the girls that were kicked out of other programs. When I was filling out the paperwork (which is required for all programs), I got nervous because I had to sign a form that provided RHA with temporary guardianship. I prayed that this would not backfire on me. Unlike the other schools, RHA could restrain the girls when absolutely necessary. People instantly make accusations when the word "restraint" is involved in programs. What people do not understand, and unless you are in the unfortunate situation where you have a kid like my daughter, programs that restrain are absolutely essential. My daughter continually hurts herself and I need someone to stop her.
We dropped my daughter off at the school and hoped (with all of the hope we had left), that RHA would help our daughter. Programs, like RHA, are designed to help troubled kids. By no means, is this a vacation for your daughter or a break from the real world. My daughter tried everything she could to get kicked out of the program. She went so far as to orchestrate a fight with another student so they could both be kicked out. Unfortunately for her (and fortunately for us), she had consequences none of which involved removal from the school.
I have been so scared that we could not find help for her and that she would end up on the street when she turns 18 and most likely would end up homeless, uneducated, and in prison.
My daughter has been at RHA for 6 months and she is now at the point where therapy can begin. She has been so combative and defiant that it took 6 months for her to realize that she was not going anywhere and the only way she would leave the school was to complete the program.
While there have been good and many bad days, I am finally seeing a version of my sweet daughter. The daughter who used to hold my hand and tell me she loved me. For parents who are struggling, know that there are parents who understand your pain, understand the feeling of being out control, and understand how you become unsure of yourself (and your parenting skills). Just remember that you can change the trajectory of your daughter's life by getting her the help she needs. Welcome the opportunity to send her to a therapeutic school, like RHA, where she can get the helps she needs.
Thank you for reading this ridiculously long post, and I hope you can find some peace in knowing that are safe, supportive programs that can help your daughter!
I am going to write another post that specifically discusses RHA. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
​

Ensure that the poker site you play on has agreed that the way you intend to prove your identity and address meets their policy. And be aware that policy may differ to norms used in your jurisdiction.
So I've been playing on GGPoker for a few weeks now, deposited a few bucks to take advantage of their deposit bonus and honeymoon promo (which is some real shady bait and switch shit, but I digress) only to find myself in the situation of having to prove my ID and address now, as another member of my household created an account, which whilst within the rules of site if you don't sit at the same table, did trigger a multi-account ban.
Now did GG ask for proof of address or ID when they took my money? No of course not. Well they're asking for it now.
No problem I thought, as per UK government guidance a UK driving licence in combination of with a passport is considered solid undeniable proof of identity AND address. This is pretty much my only option, as I don't directly pay the utilities, and I am currently on a career break studying for a Masters degree online, so I don't receive any communications with my name and address on.
Well not according it GG it aint. Why you may ask, when it absolves GGPoker of all liability should you commit fraud or money laundering on their site, as they followed the UK government guidance? Because Fuck You, that why. Even the fucking gambling commission in the UK accepts drivers licence as proof of address when making a request for any personal information they may hold on you, so why don't you GG? Source: https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/about-us/guide/page/accessing-your-personal-data
What about bank statements you may ask? Well apparently you can't redact ANY information from the document you provide. So I have to trust some guy earning minimum wage with my full bank account details, as opposed to when I securely deposited my money with the full protection of encryption that even a supercomputer working until the heat death of the universe couldn't crack? Fuck that.
What about other documents then? Well I did spend ages verifying my ID with HMRC in order for them to produce a letter with the only piece of identifying information on it being my National Insurance number. Not ideal you may say, but I say better then my bank details.
So off it goes to the GG support, but no apparently a dated letter with my name and address on it from a government department is not proof of ID. And now that I've typed all this rant out I do realise there is one readily accessible utility bill that I personally pay: my mobile phone, and the piece of information on that (apart from name and address ofc) is the amount of money I pay to my operator. Check mate motherfuckers, now I can withdraw all my money and fuck off back to Stars.
Thank you for reading my rant, and moral of the story: Its legal for GG to take your money and launder it, but its not legal for you to get your money back having laundered it (which I'm not, scout's honour).
And always always make sure the site your playing on won't make you jump through a shit ton of hoops in hope you'll just give up on withdrawing those 20 bucks, as for the site as a whole they all add up.

I was wondering if anyone has any personal experience living in any of these states as a trans person. My family is planning on moving soon and are debating between these 3 states. Maybe they’d consider other ones too but as of now it’s looking like one of these.
I’ve done a little research and seen that Washington and Oregon are a pretty good place for the LGBT community but the one I’m worried about is Idaho, which is unfortunately looking like the one they’re leaning towards. I think if we went there it would be Boise, which I’m seeing is more accepting than the rest of the state, but I’m wondering if that’s just in comparison or if it really is an okay place to live. Also I’m pre-T and looking to transition within the next few years and want to make sure I’d be able to wherever we move.
Any opinions are welcome and appreciated. Thank you!

Hello everyone,
I wanted to share something with you today. I wanted to explain my thought process guided by Stoicism to handling, as virtuously as I can, the phone calls that I make with my mother.
But first I want to start with some details.
My relationship with my mother was always a complicated one. I am going to offer key words, and I will let your imagination do the rest: depression, anxiety, narcicistic traits, array of physical problems, no healthy habits whatsoever, several abusive relationships, some things that a son "should" never hear from her mother, disfunctional family, violated boundaries, son turned fathecaretaker.
So, now to today. I am currently living in Germany for three main reasons: my line of work was getting really stale in my homeland, and the pay and conditions are better in Germany. I wanted the experience of working and living abroad. And I found out that if I wanted to keep loving my mother, it was better if there was physical space between us. So it was reasonable for me, when this opportunity appeared, to take it. Was I going to be a madman, living a life that I did consider a disprefered, only to deny something that could change what I precisely wanted to change?
And when doubt did strike me I remembered that my mind was made, my reasoning was sound, and that I was no child: I understood that with this change I would leave my country, friends, pets, family behind. But I could still love and care for them: I thought of Seneca and "his friend" Lucilius, his exchange of correspondence, the fondness they had for each other. All that what really mattered was how I would handle it.
So, even in the distance, and despite everything, I could still be a son to my mother, I had a role to fulfill. I don't know if she failed as a mother. She did what she could, she did what she thought was good enough, and she is a sick, troubled woman. Can I really blame her? Is it even a question that is worth answering? I don't think so, no.
So I called her more or less regularly. And it was not easy for me. She did several things that I found hard to deal with: she missed me so hard, she was devastated. She kept talking mainly about her problems. She did not respect my times and calls were long, too long, even when I said to her that I needed to go.
Why was I surprised? Of course she would do the same things. I was upset after every call. I found that I didn't want to call her anymore, but at the same time wanted to keep my relationship with her, and in response to this two conflicting judgements I felt sad. But the situation was unreasonable for me. I wanted to make the calls work, to do what a son would do, but forcing my way in was not the real answer, it would only lead us to more sadness.
So I started... Playing with my tools. I found there was a way to help her with the sadness: calling her more regularly, close to every day. But that was still too much for me, no?
I am a kindergarten teacher. She loves to know what the babies do. Poops? Farts? Baby-words? Cute fat babies? Bring them in. I started calling her AFTER my work was done, and it was natural to speak about them. She started asking about them, knowing them by their names and all. She would even laugh. And when she talked about her stuff... It came... Lighter. Not as dark. Manageable.
And calling after work was perfect, because I have 18' walking to the train station, and 5' before I arrive I can tell her that I am approaching the station, and that in 5' I am going to go because speaking from the train is a slog. Because I call her regularly it's enough for her. The 1 hour calls were gone.
I am still working on it. I try to focus on the call, make the best of it for the two of us. It's not perfect, of course, sometimes I end up feeling a bit overwhelmed because I can't dispel the darkness in her (never will), but I don't give it any credit. It's not like before anyway.
When I go to the gym and train, I end up physically tired. When I don't drink water for long, my body asks for it. When I call my sick, troubled mother, as her loving son that I try to be, I am going to feel, sometimes, overwhelmed. But because I love her despite everything, and because I hold this judgement and proceed with the pertinent actions, I accept what comes from it as something that I can, and will, handle, even if it's a dispreferred situation. I try it to reframe it with good, virtuous reasoning, and keep going with my day.
And this is how I call my mother.

I wanted to make this post for a long time now.
There is so much wisdom in this subreddit, I feel like I've learned so much, even if I barely post. It helps me contrast my ideas and what I extract from the readings. So this comes as a thank you.
I wanted to post my little experience to see the feedback that I can receive, and if someone can learn from me, so be it. I personally enjoy most the posts that show a real situation, with the mental process of the user, and how they reach conclusions. There is still a lot of room for improvement and there may be things that I am missing, so every answer is welcome.

This is going to be a long one but the background is necessary.
I (24f) started a new job in 2022 December, I left my previous job because I was sexually harassed and management told me to get over it and told everyone in a department wide safety meeting that we are a family and should learn to take jokes.
Upon arrival at my new job, I noticed one of my new coworkers, B (26f)was dating married( not to each other) ex-cowoker from my last job. It wasn't my business so I never said anything ofc. A few months later I heard B was telling everyone that I left my previous job because a guy hugged me and I got him fired. (That is not what he did and he wasnt fired). I didn't confront her but chose to stay away as that was very disgusting behaviour on her part. Over the months that I have been at this job I attempted to be friendly with her and her friends ( it is very clique-y) but it always results in me eventually pully away because they are very unreasonable and I do not agree with the way they treat people/ their views on many things. They often make big shows of planning outings and excluding me, which whilst kind of hurtful, is okay because at the end of the day I'll stand by my morals and I'm there to work not get involved with people.
So to the situation, over the past few months I have put all that aside as my new assignment was to work very closely with their team. During which there was a department wide meeting where she said some very derogatory and disrespectful things about men. And she was chastised by management during her yearly review. Because I'm my position, whilst I'm still a junior I work very closely with management so I was aware of their dissatisfaction with her words. But I didn't let her know this as 1. She would confront them and say "OP said" which would put me in a bad position. 2. She was indeed wrong but she is very ignorant and would refuse to accept this and her yes men friends would never tell her this. Because, I didn't tell her about management being upset, she has since went on to tell the majority of the department that. And somehow I am painted as the person in the wrong.
Today one of my "friends" approached me and asked about the situation, insinuating I was in the wrong and I am causing drama. Which was very disappointing coming from him as 1. I firmly believed we were friends (we have the same role and trained for months together ) 2. I feel like anyone with critical thinking skills would know I wasn't wrong.
I don't know what to do. 3/4 a 2 dozen people team is against me. I am obviously not going to quit because I love the role. But it's really hard to work on a team like that.
Any advice is welcome.

Is anybody else dealing with this? This has happened to me three times already. The first time we had the initial interview but I was asked to come back to do paperwork. I show up the person isn't there, I call them and they say they got hold up at another location. Told me to come back the next day, I come back and the same thing and they used the same excuse. So I just left that job alone. The second time the person showed up 30 minutes late to the interview. Today I had an interview. I show up to the location and someone is in the meeting room training employees. I call and message the person I'm supposed to meet up, no answer. I waited ten minutes before I just left. I'm tired of this, and all these places weren't just around the corner, I had to drive awhile. All these places I put my application through indeed so I don't know if that is playing a factor or not. But it shouldn't we agreed to a time and place so what's going on?

Dearest Love,
It has now been 264 days since I last heard your voice. That I could see the disappointment on your face. I wish I had realized at that moment that it was my last chance to reach you. But a fool is foolish. And I am a fool, always have been.
Where should I start?
That I've been in love with you since we were in elementary school together? Or the fact that you broke my heart for the first time at the age of 14 when you met your first boyfriend?
Of course you weren't aware of any of this. When you disappeared from my life overnight at the age of 15, you didn't realize that it had shattered my world. I really thought back then that I would never see you again.
All my friends were in love with you. One even wrote you love letters. You never found out who'd send you these.
For us you were mysterious. So serious. So sad. So brave. So cheeky. So loud. So quiet. We were too young and too stupid at that time to understand what you were going through at home. To us you were just a beautiful mystery.
I had my own tragedies at home and I dreamed myself away. With you. And just then you disappeared. Nobody knew where you were and nobody had a clue what happened to you. There were the wildest rumors, but nothing tangible.
Five years later I was drunk in the club and you smiled at me from across the bar. I swear I was immediately sober. It was like I had seen a ghost, but you were real. Damn you were real!
You asked me how I was doing and whether life had been good to me. This was the happiest night of my life and I didn't want it to end.
When we said goodbye at dawn, I asked you if we would see each other again and you said, "Meet me at the party at Fusion on New Year's Eve."
Damn, that was still 3 months away and how was I supposed to find you there? Among hundreds of people?
I found you. Exactly at midnight and we kissed. From that day on we belonged together.
But two children from broken families. This is destined for chaos and pain.
I moved to the other side of the country with you to put the past behind us. But you can't run away from your problems. They will always find you.
We dealt with the pain within us differently. You wanted to talk about it. About you, about me, about what happened in our families. I wanted to be silent.
You solved your problems in therapy. I drowned my problems in alcohol.
At the beginning of our relationship we went dancing together a lot. We celebrated, we drank, we looked for intoxication. But then you changed. And I stayed the same.
You hid in books. I hid in clubs. You looked for new friends. I kept the old ones.
You've started studying and pretty soon you got a scholarship. Now you were no longer just beautiful with a loving soul, but also eloquent and smart.
And I? I became mean. I disappeared for nights at a time. I didn't keep my promises. I drank, I gambled, I did drugs. I woke up in strange apartments and had trouble with even stranger people.
And so the past had caught up with me and the future was calling for you. But you didn't want to give up on me and I didn't want to lose you.
So I pulled myself together, looked for a good job and I earned good money. But one can't keep a woman like you with dollar bills. You never looked for expensive gifts or status. All you ever looked for was love, respect and sincerity.
And I was not sincere.
You wanted respect. I laughed at you. You wanted love. I left you alone. You wanted to be my friend. I was your enemy.
And so you slowly said goodbye.
You didn't want to have to fight all the time anymore. You didn't want to have to cry because of me anymore. And I get that.
First you moved out. Then you had less and less time for me. When I called you, you often didn't answer the phone. When you did I heard you laughing on the phone with your friends in the back. You seemed to have a lot of fun. But you hardly laughed with me anymore.
264 days ago we had set up a date. We hadn't seen each other for two weeks. I canceled half an hour before I was supposed to pick you up. You were angry. "Why can't you just keep a simple promise?" I told you I was sick. A lie. Two hours later you showed up at my door. You brought me muffins, tea and some meds.
And I? I was hungover, playing poker.
The disappointment. The disappointment on your face. You asked me if I really ditched you for a poker game.
And I? I replied with, “At least I won $1,000.”
You gave me a sad little smile and asked me if I had anything left to say to you.
I laughed at you and said you were childish. That you're being overdramatic as always. That you're always causing stress.
And you said, "okay, if that's all you have to say, I'm leaving now."
I said we can see each other tomorrow.
And you said, "No, I'm leaving. For good."
You've said it a thousand times before, but this time I knew it was different.
I held you back and looked into your eyes saying: "I want to change. I really do. But I need time and your patience."
And you said: "You've had 10 years to appreciate what we had. Now you have the rest of your life to accept that I won't be a part of your life anymore."
You left.
264 days have passed since then.
Not a word from you.
Every day I try to reach you.
You're gone.
For good.
All our old friends know you're gone. But no one talks to me about it because they know I messed up.
Since you left, I can't go on anymore.
I dream of you constantly. Sometimes I look for you and ask about you and everyone acts like you never existed. And I feel the despair until I wake up crying.
Sometimes you're standing far, far away from me and I try to get to you, but I can't move a step. So I call you, but you don't hear me. Then I shout louder until I wake up from it.
Then I lie in bed with my heart racing and slowly remember that you are no longer here. And that it is my fault.
My best friend forced me to go on a date. The woman I was on the date with came closer. She kissed me. And I started crying.
I've never felt as bad as I did in that moment. I wasn't ashamed. It was the sadness that burst out of me.
I know people will say it will pass. That I will fall in love again someday. But I do not care. I lost you. I lost the person who believed in me the most. I lost the love of my life.
And it's my fault. I will never be able to forgive myself for this.
That's what was left to say.

If your usual reply to a roleplaying prompt is a comment reading, "hey, let's RP," this post isn't for you.
If your wheelhouse of responses is a one-line remark that expresses interest, but not why, or, better yet, some plot threads of your own that you'd like to chase, this post isn't for you.
If you're all about stories told from a first-person perspective, written in single-sentence bursts, this post isn't for you.
If you prioritize "getting to the next good part" instead of trying to make every part the next good part, this post isn't for you.
I hope each of you do find the exact-right storytelling partner to build the narratives you most enjoy! And I'm sorry for coming across (most likely, against my better phrasings) as an elitist roleplaying snob worthy of a post on the Bad RPer Stories subreddit. I'm sure you're all fantastic folks! It's just that, y'know, this one isn't for you.
If you're still left reading this and haven't rolled your eyes too much at my incidental airs of pretension, welcome! I'm a mid-twenties writer looking for partners in storytelling who revel in and relish the joys of advanced-literate-to-novella back-and-forths. The crackle and shimmer of lead characters with chemistry and charm. The well-rounded shine of a collaborative setting populated by enchanting side characters. The poetry of clever dialogue, the deft touch for detail and description, the breeziness of a lighthearted story, well-told, burnished by emotional stakes.
The always-exhilarating sense of anticipation for the next installment of the story, and the enthusiasm for responding in kind.
I'm not coming into this post with any pre-conceived prompt ideas or plots, which is where you come in! I'd love if you'd just send me a starter. The best, most entertaining one you can dream up.
And I promise, guaranteed, I'll knock your socks off with a response.
(If you're reading this, include the phrase "I see London, I see France" somewhere in your opener!)
All I ask is for a generally lighthearted vibe (with plenty of space for conflict and drama), a willingness to write in a universe not too dissimilar from our own (sorry, too, to the high fantasy and hard sci-fi fans still reading!), and be up for a story with a playful romance between our protagonists.
Oh! And also be at least 20 years old, please.
If this catches your eye, please feel free to send a message my way! I've had the thrill of writing with pitch-perfect partners back in the day, and I'd love to rekindle that passion for collaborative writing with some of you.

1. Schedule an audio-video call with the client. If the client is known to you or is a witness who knows both you and the signer in person, make a statement. Witness the signing and the declaration signing. The declaration template is

"I declare under penalty of perjury that the document of which this declaration is a part or to which it is attached is the same document on which (name of online notary public), an online notary public, performed an online notarization and before whom I appeared by means of two-way video and audio conference technology on (date).
________________________
(Signature of principal)
________________________
(Printed name of principal)";

1. Receive the document and declaration by mail. Complete your part and the declaration using the template "I, (name of online notary public), witnessed, by means of video and audio conference technology, (name of principal) sign the attached document and declaration on (date).".

Then, mail back the notarized document.

Today was supposed to be a day off for me, mandated by a medical recommendation due to an ongoing health issue. However, despite this, I was asked to make the journey of over an hour to report to work, only to be summarily terminated upon arrival. Adding insult to injury, I had a company vehicle, so I was then placed in an Uber and sent home in disbelief and heartbreak. Because I needed this job more than you guys can even imagine. My employer knows why that is.
The rationale behind my relief of duty, I was told, was my alleged failure to perform my duties adequately. Admittedly, personal challenges had hindered my performance, and i was the first to take accountability for that and make it known I was aware of my shortcomings. My personal shortcomings that is. Knowing I can do better. but I had diligently fulfilled my responsibilities to the best of my ability. The only place I lacked was filling out my audits on some tracker that i was never shown how to use. But yet he washed it a certain way that was never disclosed to me. For the physical, boots on the ground part of my job always got done. My tenure with the company spanned only about 10 months. My other employment’s before lasted 12 years and 7 years. When I came on board I was hired under the explicit directive of my boss: he confided in me that he sought someone who would challenge the status quo and question any discrepancies they observed.
Primarily tasked with overseeing health and safety protocols within the construction industry, I initially accepted the position with reservations about certain practices but opted to remain silent. However, as time progressed, I grew increasingly vocal about my reservations, particularly regarding safety measures that appeared more concerned with liability coverage than genuine worker protection.
Curiously, despite my concerns, and before my termination I never received any formal warnings or assistance to address these issues, or the issues I was having due to my lack of training. My induction into the role was characterized by a distinct lack of training—barely two days to acquaint myself with the intricacies of the company's procedures. Consequently, I often found myself navigating unfamiliar territory, with my remote boss micromanaging operations from a considerable distance, frequently leaving me in the dark about critical aspects of my responsibilities. My boss is well aware of these issues. Always stated about the lack of training and how he wished he could make it down more to help out.
In the end, my employment was terminated abruptly today, and I refused to sign any paperwork presented to me. While a severance package was proffered, I declined to sign it. As I awaited my Uber ride home, I watched my boss surreptitiously slip the termination documents into my bag.
Now, I find myself contemplating my next steps. Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated as I navigate this challenging situation. Thank you.

Hi, is there a way to know if a Eurail seat reservation is sold out for pass holders, or just has to be bought at a main station in Europe? The message reads “No price results were found. Pass holder reservations may be sold out for this connection, but there are other ways to check for available seats - more info below our timetable”. The “other ways to book” section says “book in person at a main station in Europe”. Just stressing that we’re not going to be able to get on this train for our trip coming up

I made a post on relationship advice last week. I got the advice I needed. Was apparently too long so i'll try to keep this brief.
Long story short, I met this girl I really liked and our first 4 weeks together were incredible. There was clear mutual interest / a connection I hadn't felt with the 20+ people i'd dated the year prior (I live in a major city where dating apps are the norm). We established early on that we both wanted to take it slow, and that we wanted to be friends first. After 4 weeks, she went cold after a bad, awkward date. After several days, she called me and told me that she wanted to see other people, and that she realized things were moving too quickly. There were apparently incompatibilities that made her lose interest / unwilling to proceed. Which blindsided me considering how close we'd been days prior.
I was obviously devastated. At that point we had made plans to debrief in person and grab drinks later that week. But I couldn't wait and proceeded to do what could've possibly been the absolute worst thing at the time - i drafted and sent an extremely long text detailing all my feelings, reasons why we could be compatible, calling her out on a few things, even offering to be friends. Basically all the thoughts i'd been inundated with those last few days. She proceeded to respond harshly, stating that i'd overstepped her boundaries, that she owed me no explanation for her change of heart, that I'd disregarded both her feelings and decision, and that she wasn't comfortable being friends. She proceeded to block me from everything. This honestly hurt me more than the initial rejection and I've spent the past week processing, understanding this situation.
I've reached a point now where I understand where I fucked up and that her reaction was completely warranted. I'd way overstepped her boundaries, acted completely irrationally, and should've just played things cool and given her space. I've tried really hard to get over it all - the sadness from the rejection but moreso the frustration from sending that letter. I've cried to sad music. I've journaled everyday. I've meditated, run, biked, and worked out every single day since. I've rediscovered hobbies including music and yoga. I've spoken with my therapist, siblings, friends, made reddit posts about this. I even paid $100 for a fucking rage room where I spent an hour breaking things with a bat. I've learned that i'm loved and that I have people who support and care about me. And I've learned from the conversations with those people on how to see the situation and the future - that the best thing to do is to move forward, learn my lesson, improve myself, and most importantly to just go easy on myself and realize that it simply wasn't meant to be.
But still, the feelings remain. I hate myself so much. For how stupid I was in sending that letter. How I could've done things differently. I hate myself for how strongly I feel about this to begin with. It was only 4 weeks! It's just heartbreak. I've gone on so many dates in the past, been rejected so many times. Why do I feel so differently this time? I hate myself for not getting over something so insignificant. People are getting divorced with kids, having their hearts broken after 10+ years of marriage. What the fuck is wrong with me? I'm just so angry at myself and still, I don't know why. I know the best thing to do is to love myself, to give myself the same leeway that I would to those closest to me. But it's just so hard. I've tried a CBT exercise I read here recently where I try to picture a stop sign every time I get these intrusive thoughts, and I feel like they've done nothing but build these feelings up. And after a long run just now, I feel like i'm about to burst. I try to meditate to process these thoughts and emotions. But now, I just want to cut myself. I don't want to take xanax. I don't want to drink. I don't want to take to anyone else for advice. I just want to feel pain because nothing else i've tried works. And i know time will help. But it's just so hard, and i'm so tired. I'm not even suicidal. I don't want to die. What the fuck is wrong with me?

Saluto!
I would like to share my observations related to the Ido language from the point of view of two main Wikimedia projects.
Esperanto, despite its initially different concept, is intended to be a second (auxiliary) language for people from all over the world. One would like to say that this is nothing groundbreaking, because in it Ido is identical with its linguistic ancestor. But in my opinion this is not the case. Of course, Ido, as its followers refer to it, is an auxiliary language. The only question is for what/who? I'm not talking about the utopian idea of both languages.
Through Wikimedia projects, I believe that Ido is an auxiliary language of... English. Administrators of these projects (in the Ido language version) are by default dependent on the English Wikipedia, as well as the English vocabulary in en-wiktionary. This is easily noticeable. For example, creating a biography of a person who does not have an article in English ends with adding a page with an error because the template is linked to the English version from above. It is also easy to notice that Ido's wiktionary is not based on six main languages (actually on five, because Ido by definition ignores Slavic languages - Russian is only used as an alibi), but only on English, which is the basis for creating word formation for subsequent languages. This is due to the decisions of the administrators of these projects.
Well, what's wrong with that? The assumption that the world speaks English, even if it were true to a large percentage, would still indicate this language mainly as a second language. So Ido would be a third language and its existence would only make sense with English. But how is this language auxiliary? After all, English does well without intermediaries.
I believe that forcibly cutting yourself off from Esperanto in favor of getting too close to English is a serious mistake that questions the existence of Ido in a broader form. By the way, it is symptomatic that this forum is in English.

As a citizen of another EU country I would like to register for participating in the upcoming elections (Europawahl). The form says "Der Antrag muss der Gemeindebehörde im Original zugehen!" - but it does not give a specific address. In the case of Munich, I assume it is "Ruppertstraße 19", but I'd like to double-check that.
Considering that the deadline for registration is May 19th, for the letter to arrive on time I need to make sure the destination address is correct. To which address and department should it be sent?
In addition to that, can one also deliver it in person, to ensure it really gets there before the deadline?

I’m pretty nervous about quitting ngl. I’m 17F and have worked at my current company for over a year now. This company sorta planned on me staying, even though I never confirmed that, so I’m worried they aren’t gonna be happy. I went through the job list the past year and I have done over 50% of them, so I’m worried they aren’t going to be able to handle me leaving? But at the same time, I feel like a company shouldn’t really be relying on the high school intern for engineering?
Anyways, my school got an email last week from this massive multi billion refinery company near me, in which they offered me an engineering internship because they saw I placed at a drafting competition at states. This job pays less than my current, especially considering my current job said they would give me another raise if I stay for the summer, but I decided it was worth doing so I could diversify a bit. It’s also just a massive company that will look good and I will learn a lot, no matter how it goes.
My plan to quit is to talk to my boss and hand him a written letter. I want to make sure to give them two weeks, but I’m still nervous they might be upset I didn’t give more of a notice? But I also didn’t know I would get this job until a few days ago. Does anybody know how to break the news lightly? My boss is pretty nice, I honestly just feel a bit bad because I currently have the most open jobs and everybody in engineering is buried, and they will be especially buried when they have to split my jobs up.
Also does anybody know how to make a good first impression for my new job? My new internship usually only offers to college graduates who are related to a person already employed, so it’s a big deal for me. My main concern is just that I don’t have as much education as the other interns. I’m pretty good at AutoCAD, but my highschool and work doesn’t use anything else so I don’t know solidworks or inventor well. Also just general knowledge I might be lacking, like higher math skills and engineering principles. I had these same stresses with my first job, and that went okay, but this job and company is 1000x bigger than that.

I’m a store manager at a retail outlet mall and recently , my assistant store manager came to me that she and who I will call employee A were talking about gay rights. Within that conversation, employee A stated that employee B made her uncomfortable a year prior because employee B made a comment that the idea of same-sex relationships are weird. Also, in that conversation was another person, who I will call employee C. I was shocked and horrified by this revelation and asked my assistant why neither employee A and C came to me right away about this highly inappropriate discussion. My assistant store manager told me that employee B made both employee A and C horribly scared of working with B, even though A and B closed multiple times together, that they're scared for their life and that must've been why they didn't say anything until a year later, employee A had been ruminating about the event since a year ago, and that employee B must've gotten up in their faces and intimidated A and C to not speak up.
Because of my training as a store manager, I’m supposed to take every harassment complaint seriously and investigate the claims because I'm legally required to. If not, me and my assistant manager can be fired from the company for knowing about this incident and not doing anything about it. I talk to my DM because I've never dealt with this before. He yelled at me that me and my assistant manager that we aren't doing our jobs properly because we should've known this conversation took place, and that this shouldn't be happening. I talk to employee A, who confirms the allegations, but she kept telling us that it happened a year ago, that she's over it, and that it's nothing and the assistant manager didn't have her consent to report it.
I then call employee C who gave me more information that employee B asked employee C's views on the political landscape and asked if C believed in God. Unfortunately, neither employee A and C made it known to employee B that the behavior was making them uncomfortable, there was no repeated discussions after this incident, employee B doesn’t have a record of anything and has been a stellar employee, I spoke to all my other employees and no one has said that employee B say anything harassing since then or before, employee B has treated everyone kindly and friendly, this incident occurred a year prior, and with that, it wouldn't fall under legal harassment according to harassment laws federally and in the employee handbook.
Even though the behavior and incident are a one-off, I still find it totally inappropriate to discuss politics at work and ask if someone believes in God (!), and employee B should know better than to ask and start this type of discussion. I'm also so angry that employee B made both A and C scared for their lives that they couldn't bring this up until a year later. I must protect them from employee B since B must've intimidated them in some way. I then write employee B up for harassment, even though it doesn’t fit in the legal definition of harassment. My DM said not to fire B, but just tell her the conversation was inappropriate and not write her up. However, my assistant manager said that we should document it because even if your boss tells you to do something, you have to cover yourself, especially with harassment claims.
I then go to employee B, tell her what happened, and she admits to the allegations. B says that she doesn't hate gay people and wants them to have their rights. I Tell her that people are only allowed to talk about politcs is when they're in agreement. I'm so disgusted that I have to work with employee B that I tell all the customers on the sales floor about this employee and that I should've fired her. Then fast forward three weeks later, on Monday, one my sales leads comes up to me and tells me that the day before that employee B told employee A that she can't discuss speculating other people's sexuality and talking about sex acts because that is sexual harassment. Then employee A comes up to me and tells me her concerns that employee B is massively overstepping. Employee B goes to two other sales associates and says on the sales floor that they shouldn't be discussing inappropriate topics on the sale floor, and she says this in front of customers. Everyone came up to me with concerns that they'll be written up for harassment, and I have to say to them that they won't and they have nothing to be afraid about because they haven't done or said anything wrong.
Employee B is seriously overstepping her boundaries by ordering people because she isn't a sales lead and isn't a manager. I'm thinking to myself, do I have to write her up again to stop her from harassing her coworkers? I'm at the end of my rope with this associate. Should I fire her?
