Was about to take my flight and had to stop at new Chennai airport's departure customs to receive my item which was kept in hold, No issues in there, Infact I was treated very nicely by the same officers.
But while waiting to receive my belongings, It was not hard to notice a few people already there. A group of 5 friends travelling for vacation, I had a quick chat with the group and they were stood up because of carrying excess cash and were asked to pay directly to the head officer instead of a fine. They missed their flight but still were asked to pay to proceed.
The other guy was actually caught up for carrying more cash while comming back to India after finishing his job in Middle east. He was treated so bad that he was took inside a room adjacent to the security check and could literally hear him getting beaten up and made to sit on the floor without shoes like an accused in a police station in front of everyother traveller until he submitted and accepted to pay the share.
These officers were not donning any uniforms nor speaking any Tamil. I was literally terrified to see those officers for what was happening there and the number of people getting dragged into the room to secretly doing unfair deals.
Im not supporting the travellers breaking the law, but against the way they are treated openly in an international airport and should have acted more lawfully. Not blaming the entire department as I know there are a couple of honest officers present, but the majority of them are just purely working out of greed.
Has anyone faced similar situation and what's your view on this?

Hello everyone! I've been reading up on endometriosis on here and medical websites, scientific papers etc. for a while now but I feel like the symptoms are so diverse that I don't know if mine are "normal" or might be a sign of endometriosis. This is likely going to be a long post and frankly, I'm just not sure who to talk to concerning these issues. Most likely gonna be TMI and potentially bad English too, please excuse me once more.
When I started getting my period in my early teens, I had horrible pains, would throw up each and every time and basically was bedridden for one to two days until the symptoms eased up. It got better afterwards, so I thought and was told it was normal. A few years later I took the pill and everything was going fine until a couple of years later (I must've been around 19 at the time) when I got my period, I threw up, screamed in pain and passed out on my bf's bathroom floor. He ended up calling an ambulance because I was in so much pain. After being examined in the hospital, I was told that "You have your period" (No shit, Sherlock!). Literally nothing else. I was given pain killers and went home again the next day. Fast forward 10 years of no big troubles, except for heavy PMS and pre-menstrual depression along with medium to heavy pains on the first day of my period. I've been off the pill for two years now and since I got rid of it, my period was incredibly irregular at first, with one cycle lasting up to 128 days. Others were shorter at around 42 to 57 days. Now it's slowly getting better and I'm between 31 to 44 days. Not sure if it's relevant, but my pains have been stronger the longer my cycle takes. I also notice my ovulation a lot and it's linked to diarrhea and pains, similar to my PMS symptoms. In March of this year, after my 44 day cycle, I had one of the worst periods so far. I was screaming, sitting on the toilet with diarrhea (experiencing gut-wrenching pains while pooing) and puking my soul out into the sink next to me. I've been afraid of getting my period since. Weirdly enough, the one I got in April was relatively mild in comparison, but the pains lasted longer and came in flashes. I also get "butt lighning" every now and then. So much for my periods.
I've been having troubles with my stomach and abdomen/colon as well though. I've had a gastroscopy to get checked for reflux disease but they didn't find anything. I still have to cough up or feel mucus sitting in my throat after most meals and I can't stomach spicy foods (among others) anymore. My digestion has been nothing but stop and go - diarrhea for the most part, or complete constipation. My doctor thought it might have been my appendix, but luckily it wasn't. I've been dealing with stomach aches and digestive issues for several years now. Everyone thinks it boils down to stress. I'm a student and about to graduate and I've been through quite a lot in my life, so I get that and almost believe it myself. But that doesn't feel like a solid base. I've been having pains while I was relaxed and on vacations as well, so it's hard for me to fully believe that it's just stress. I do believe that stress does take a toll on me and my health though, partly. I've been to the hospital last year because they found free fluid between the intestinal loops and I've had pain to the touch around the height of my right ovary. Adding to that, I've had quite the luck with cystitis over the years (/s) if that matters, and I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis, depression and PTSD.
Now, my gyn has just told me that I should get back on the pill, but if possible I'd like to avoid that. I'm also afraid of infertility, especially because I'm already aware of the risk that Hashimoto's disease brings for that. I have been told over and over again by professionals and non-professional women that my period pain is normal. I'm not sure if a couple of throw-ups and heavy pains are enough to justify seeing a doctor about this. But I'm at my wit's end and maybe it's just IBS. I'm also afraid of a laparoscopy when it might be nothing. I'd be glad to hear about your experiences. Thank you for your time. I hope you're having a good day. Stay strong!

I have the Nexgrill Daytona 4-Bruner Propane Griddle. I cant figure out why, but when I scrap the griddle, the food/etc does get transferred all the way down to the tray. It ends up getting caught up under the griddle top instead of funneling down to the tray. Anyone else have this issue? I have been trying to figure out a way to fix this but Im almost at the point of buying a different one.
Other than that, I absolutely hate the tray system this griddle has. Anyone found a way to deal with this?

Hiiiii. 🤣 Please read this. 🫠
Important! Do you have MTHFR gene mutation? I’m going to try to share some of my blood results in the comments if I can, I see a connection to this.
(Before you run away, this isn’t based on a natural medicine thing, although I like that stuff. This is real deal science.)
I think it’s interesting. It’s a lot and a lil complex but I think it’s intriguing! I wrote this quickly and I’m still learning so don’t flame me too hard plz.
As I try to reclaim my life in some ways lately, I’m doing lots of reading. I’m totally not saying that this is a cure for SCT/CDS or ADHD. What I am saying is that maybe this could help some of us and alleviate some of our symptoms. I’m just throwing this out there as it might be helpful to some of us. I do think it’s worth the read though. Also, I really want to share my Rootine blood test results. I think you’ll find them interesting and I see some type of correlation with this information I found.
Long story short, I remembered I had taken a test from the company Rootine quite a few years back.
I have a poorly working MTHFR Gene. The Rootine test isn’t that specific but it shows that I have this. I want to get tested further to learn more about this, I’m pretty confident I have a MTHFR Gene Mutation.
I’m literally just learning about it now so forgive my huge amount of ignorance. Apparently, having this gene mutation can cause a lot of issues, some even pointing to ADHD. (Paraphrasing majorly here for simplicity). The concept is a bit technical so I’m still navigating it.
Basically, in layman’s terms, my body is very poor at “detoxing” itself (for lack of a better term). Not like “natural detox” but the body’s natural process of detoxification. Apparently, this can cause a lot of issues as well as issues pertaining to mental health.
From what I gather, it’s said that folic acid is basically my enemy as my body cannot process folic acid (a synthetic substance). Apparently, my body can process folate (a natural substance in vegetables etc.) It’s a little tricky because a lot of websites will say folic acid when they actually mean natural folate in vegetables, etc. However, it appears that folic acid is in a lot of “enriched” and “fortified” foods. Think pasta product/cereal etc. I don’t know all the foods. So I’m gathering that I need to avoid folic acid like the plague. Apparently, organic foods and stuff you don’t really find so much of folic acid. I guess folic acid (this is synthetic) is added to food. FOLATE (naturally found in some foods) is good for me but not folic acid (synthetic form) because my body can’t process it.
Then there’s high homocysteine levels…..(I’m still connecting the dots). “However, mutations of the MTHFR gene can significantly affect your ability to turn vitamin B12 and folate into forms the body can utilize.“ Apparently, my body isn’t good at “detoxifying” itself. Eating folic acid can make this even worse. It’s suggested that I take b12 l-methylcobalamin and l-methylfolate.
Like I said, I’m jussssst learning about this and it’s pretty complex. I just kinda wanted to share this. I’m gonna take what is suggested and I’m also going to avoid eating folic acid as much as I can. I really wanna dive even more into this but I’m just trying to get myself healthy enough to go back to work right now. Lemme know your thoughts if you’d like.
There’s a lot of videos on MTHFR but I found these to be really simple to understand so far so I’m sharing them. Just go to YouTube and search MTHFR.

(Before anyone flames me too much, these next two links are from Joe Rogan podcast but they are simple to understand. I think that they throw a lil shade at Adderall in the clip. I’m not knocking mainstream healthcare in any way, I took Adderall today. So just be advised.)

Im a 36F with no major health issues. This image is 4 home EKG I took within 10 minutes on my Kardia mobile unit. 10 days ago I was at a kids birthday party at a horse farm and they did not tell anyone the fences were all electric. I went to pet a horse and did not touch the fence, I had my hand through the fence and the horse touch my hand and must have touched its body to the fence, we both were then shocked. I felt it in my heart the most right then. I didn't lose consciousness or anything like that, but for the last 10 days I have had a LOT of sensations of fluttering, galloping, pounding heart, high resting heart rate (130s,, 140s) waking up to HR over 100, etc. I do take Adderall so I sometimes feel this anyway, but the last week I was on a very small dose of instant release pills cuz my regular XR pills were out of stock.
I told my Dr about it when asking about refilling my meds on Friday last week (6 days later) and they wanted me to go to the ER for an EKG, which I couldt/cant/dont want to do. I bought the Kardia unit on amazon and delivered Saturday morning so I've been using it the last few days. My dr office has been really persistent, emailing me several times and insisting I stop my Adderall entirely and come in for EKG tomorrow, which I will do. Im hesitant to make a big deal out of this, its not out of the norm for me to have these heart sensations I guess, and Im sure there are people with worse issues. I feel like I "cried wolf" so to speak in mentioning it to them, and now they want to do an EKG. I dont see much on these graphs but Im not a dr. They were within 10 minutes of me chilling in my office chair. I last took a 20mg XR adderall at 6am and these were at 130 or so, so its usually not working much anymore by that point, and Id be taking a 10 IR (but I saw the email from Dr saying to stop so I havent taken it). If necessary- I take 20 XR and 10IR adderall, 20mg Lexapro, singulair 10mg, spironolactone 150mg, and daily generic allergy pill. I have a nexplanon implant. When pregnant, I had elevated thyroid antibodies and took synthroid to prevent miscarriages, but otherwise no thyroid issues.
The graphs are showing Sinus tachy (normal given adderall but again, resting or sitting in my office chair as a therapist since 10am), unclassified, and Afib, all within 10 minutes. What the fuck is going on? Is this thing not valid?

Hi All, just as title says. We are looking for a private chef to cook in our home for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the next 4 weeks (possibly longer). Chef must be Jewish (that’s the religious law, not my own rule, otherwise I have to watch the person cook the whole time) and extremely knowledgeable with cooking and keeping Kosher. Food could also be prepared off-site at a certified kosher kitchen and delivered to us too. We don’t need full private chef experience (in home every day), coming once or twice a week and cooking for a few days at a time, labeling everything etc is fine. We are dealing with a medical health issue and need to support a health conscious Mediterranean Whole Foods diet. We tried googling and emailed a few people we found but some never responded and others were only available for dinner party service. Any thoughts/leads/suggestions are appreciated. Many thanks!

Husband and I are 29 years old. Together for 15 years married for 4.
We have 3 kids, 8, 5, and 1.This is mostly regarding our oldest, who is 8.
So he’s not the best with teachers and likes to belittle them I think. Like our son brought his iPod to school (my old iPhone without service) and the teacher took it and had us pick it up and he told the teacher “dont take his phone, it’s not yours to take. Ask him to put it away and if it’s really an issue you can call me or his mother and we’ll deal with it but don’t take my things from my son” and then they argued a bit and finally she agreed if it happened again she’ll call his parents.
Then recently he got in trouble in class for disrupting the class (he threw a paper ball at another kid and then got a detention) and we weren’t informed. So when my husband and I went to pick him up the teacher said we had to wait 20 minutes because he’s in detention and he said “uh, yeah no I’m just gonna pick him up now” and she said “you’re more than welcome to after his detention” and he said “who do you think you are telling me when and were I pick up my son?” And i apologized on his behalf and told him to knock it off and he said “no, do I tell you what to teach? No. So how about you be the teacher and I’ll be the parent. You can teach him math and English and I’ll discipline him.” And she said it’s school policy and he was in there with another kid so husband just walked into the classroom and said “hey buddy, let’s go” and son said “I can’t” and he said “you’re going to serve your detention at home” and we left and the teacher just smiled and was clearly pissed.
To be completely fair, he was in trouble at home. Husband told him he needs to show his teacher respect and we took away his iPod and Xbox for the evening, and then we had him apologize to her the next morning.
On top of that, he doesn’t set a great example. He acts like a kid. I thought it was cute and funny when we were like 15 but now it’s worrisome because our kids are watching.
We were back to school shopping at the Nike store and there was a football and he looked at our son and said “hey buddy watch this” and threw it at a manican and the store worker said he had to go and he said “haha…yeah no I’m gonna stay” and I was so angry and embarrassed I just left and apologized to the worker.
Another time we were at lunch and there was a guy across the restaurant wearing a rather interesting outfit and he looked at our son and pointed to the guy and said “look at that dumbass over there. I bet he ordered a blt or some gay ass shit like that” annd they both laughed and I said “seriously??” And he shrugged and said “he probably did” and when we got home I told him how completely inappropriate that was.
And then on Saturday morning our son was playing madden on his Xbox with someone online (a random match) and he was losing so husband took over and started winning and the guy threw an interception so husband said on the mic “nice throw, f_ggot” and then won the game and called the guy a loser.
Normally I wouldn’t care, because that’s kinda what you need to expect when playing a game online, but saying those things in front of our son really upset me and I told him again in private I’m NOT ok with that.
I’m glad our son looks up to dad that much, and aside from being a little immature he’s an amazing dad and husband, but this kind of stuff really upsets me.

Sorry in advance for the lengthy post, but need some input and want to provide adequate info.
32F, 130 lbs, a few managed health issues (familial hypercholesterolemia, iron & ferritin deficient - no matter the supplementation, ehlers danlos, pots, pcos). Do practice intermittent fasting and generally low-carb.
Been dealing with a rollercoaster of cortisol issues. About 3 years ago it was virtually non existent (big crash/burnout). We did supplements for about a month to stimulate it and I made life choices to remove cause of burnout/eat better....etc. Now I'm on the other side of the spectrum with REALLY high cortisol. Been treating with various supplements (see below) and they helped in the beginning but it's now increasing again. For me, I can tell/feel when it's high before they even run labs - I feel like I can't focus and suddenly have ADHD. Makes me wonder how many others really have high cortisol causing other issues....anyway.
Side note, been checking other hormones/ endocrin stuff and is okay or being managed.
Okay now that's out of the way, here's current stack managed with quarterly labs tests through two different MD's (internal medicine & functional health):
AM -DHEA - 10mg -Biotin -Methyl Folate -Acetyl L-Carnitine -Glutithione -L-Arginine -Rhodalia -Collagen w/aminos in coffee, & MCT
MID AM -L-Tryptophan -Gaba w/Tyrosine -Bacopa
EARLY PM -L-Theanine -Phosphatidylserine
PM -Fiber -Magnesium Citrate -Irom chelate/ferritin (high dose) -Vit. C (high dose) -Multivit -Fish oil -citrus bergamot -MSM -Passionflower -L-Tryptophan -Ashwaganda -CBD -Prescription Progesterone
So, the specific items to address cortisol do help and I do notice a difference cognitively. However, with the increasing numbers, one MD is wanting to just add another dose of Ashwaganda in the AM.
This list seems to keep growing, so I wanted to connect with any others who've had luck bringing their cortisol in check, or recommendations from people with experience.
Side note, already incorporate yoga/meditation, low-impact exercise...etc. I haven't found any one particular stressor, but do work in finance and it can eb/flow.
Would it be worth exploring like anxiety treatment/medications to see if something like that would lower cortisol? SSRI's don't seem to agree with me.
Again, sorry for the length here but I'm a bit desperate and really appreciate any insight you're willing to share. TYIA!

My Brother (36M) and I (33M) have always been very close. I’ve always been really happy with our connection - however, with this closeness, we’ve always been insanely competitive about nearly everything.
I actually think this competitiveness between us comes from our parents, who have always kinda pinned us against each other, using it as momentum to get us to do/accomplish big things.
Now, we’ve always seen eye-to-eye on basically everything except for a few things.
Basically, my brother loves gambling, partying, and drinking - and while those things are cool sometimes - I’ve never liked them to the extreme level my brother does.
Anyway, about 4 months ago, my brother ended up going to rehab. I was totally supportive of this decision, and we spent a whole weekend researching where he should go/what he should do.
After so much research we ended up deciding on a place called the diamond which is located in Asia (Thailand). If you do some research, rehab in the states is ungodly expensive, and he/we (I pitched in a bit) saved a ton of money, even counting in the flight to go to Asia.
Now, normally, this would be no big deal. However, my brother made me promise not to tell our parents about the rehab trip.
I wasn’t super supportive of this, since our parents would be ecstatic to hear that he’s working on himself, and I bet they would have thrown in some money for the cause.
But my brother was pretty adamant about it, so I told him I wasn’t super comfortable lying to our parents, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to mention it.
My brother gets back, all is well, he’s doing WAY better - but there’s an issue.
He told my parents that WE had started a business and that he was in Asia for business travel or to close some deal or something.
I guess this lie covered why he quit his job and why he was going to be in Asia for awhile, but still have 0 idea why I was included in any of it.
Fast forward to mother’s day weekend, we’re celebrating with our parents. The ONLY thing my mom cares about is talking about this “business.” Like, she won’t leave the topic alone. Asking questions, about what we’re selling, who he was meeting with, etc.
Obviously, we can’t answer any of the questions (since there is no business), so we’re just dodging it.
Eventually, as the night continues on, I’m beyond tired of this and my mom just won’t give up.
Finally, in the backyard, my mom continued to ask and ask and ask, and I just say “There’s no business, he was in Asia for Rehab.”
I instantly feel a weight off my chest, but I can my mom processing it (literally on mothers day) and she’s visibly upset and heads back inside.
Let’s just say all hell breaks loose after this.
My mom and dad call us assholes for lying, my brother calls me an asshole for going out of my way to tell mom (i didn’t), and I call him an asshole for bringing me into his lame lie for 0 reason.
AMITAH?

Hi to whoever reads this and thank you for taking the time!
Recently while doing some self reflection I have realized how racism towards my race has affected me deeply. With my race, people have normalized being racist towards my people to where I have learned over time to just laugh it off and that other people are right but the older I get I am realizing how wrong this thinking is and that it is not okay to accept this. I have learned to at least acknowledge it's wrong and now that I should try to stick up for myself especially when my own friends might make passing racist jokes. But with dealing with this issue in the past has caused me to even have internalized racism towards myself and at times towards my race which I am not proud of and even go as far as thinking that if I was another race my life would be easier. I am really glad that God has convicted me and brought this issue to my attention so that I can correct my thoughts and also work through some of the things I have faced.
What I am wanting is for some biblical advice on how to deal with this issue? How can I deal with others being so cruel towards my race sometimes? I know that I should stick up for myself if I can, forgive those who make me feel bad and just pray for them. But sometimes I'm like that's it? That's all I can do. I guess that over time this issue has also caused self-loathing and made me feel extremely bad about myself. I guess I'm not just looking for a bible quote thrown my way (I would still appreciate this though so that I can refer to it when I'm feeling down) but I am also looking for some support on how I can work through this. Anything would help. Thank you!

Unlocking Email Automation in Excel VBA

Excel's versatility extends beyond data analysis and reporting, delving into the realm of automation that simplifies tedious tasks, such as email communications directly from your worksheets. The integration of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) within Excel allows users to create custom functions, enabling the automation of creating and sending emails without leaving the comfort of their spreadsheet environment. This capability is particularly beneficial for professionals who rely on timely communication and data distribution, ensuring that reports, notifications, and updates are dispatched directly from their workbooks with minimal manual intervention.
However, navigating the VBA landscape to automate email operations can present challenges, particularly in ensuring the new mail item is prominently displayed in front of the worksheet and is sent after the contact is selected. Addressing this issue not only enhances the user experience by making email management more efficient within Excel but also leverages the full potential of Excel's automation capabilities. By streamlining these processes, users can focus more on their core tasks, knowing that their communication needs are handled efficiently and effectively.

Command	Description
CreateObject("Outlook.Application")	Creates an instance of Outlook Application, allowing VBA to control Outlook.
.CreateItem(0)	Creates a new email item.
.Display	Displays the email item to the user in Outlook.
.To, .CC, .BCC	Specifies the recipient(s) of the email in the To, CC, and BCC fields.
.Subject	Defines the subject of the email.

Expanding Email Automation with Excel VBA

Delving deeper into the integration of Excel VBA for email automation unveils a powerful toolset at the disposal of users aiming to streamline their communication workflows directly from their spreadsheets. This capability is not just about sending basic emails; it's about creating a highly personalized and dynamic communication channel. Through VBA, Excel can interact with Outlook to manipulate various aspects of email creation, from adding attachments to customizing the email body with data directly sourced from the spreadsheet. This level of automation can significantly enhance productivity, especially for those dealing with customer inquiries, periodic reports, or regular updates that require personalization based on spreadsheet data.
Moreover, the automation process extends to handling responses. By automating email operations, users can set up rules within Outlook to sort incoming emails based on specific criteria, such as sender, subject, or keywords. This can be particularly useful for managing feedback or responses to the emails sent through Excel VBA. Such automation ensures that the workflow is not just one-way but creates a loop of communication that is both efficient and manageable. Implementing these advanced features requires a good understanding of both Excel VBA and Outlook's capabilities, highlighting the importance of integrating these powerful tools to maximize efficiency and effectiveness in professional communication.

Automating Outlook Emails from Excel VBA

VBA in Excel

 Dim outlookApp As Object Dim mailItem As Object Set outlookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application") Set mailItem = outlookApp.CreateItem(0) With mailItem .Display .To = "recipient@example.com" .CC = "ccrecipient@example.com" .BCC = "bccrecipient@example.com" .Subject = "Subject of the Email" .Body = "Body of the email" ' Add attachments and other email item properties here End With End Sub 

Enhancing Communication through Excel VBA

Integrating email automation within Excel using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) significantly boosts the efficiency of communication processes, particularly in professional settings where time is of the essence. This integration allows for seamless creation, customization, and sending of emails directly from Excel, leveraging data within spreadsheets to personalize messages. The automation goes beyond mere convenience, enabling users to send bulk emails tailored to each recipient, schedule emails for future delivery, and even trigger emails based on specific events or conditions met within the spreadsheet. Such capabilities are invaluable for marketing campaigns, customer service follow-ups, and internal communication within organizations, ensuring that the right messages reach the right people at the right time.
Furthermore, Excel VBA's email automation can be enhanced with advanced features such as dynamic attachment inclusion, where files relevant to the spreadsheet's data or analysis are automatically attached to the outgoing emails. Users can also implement error handling to manage issues that may arise during the email sending process, such as invalid email addresses or network problems, ensuring that all communications are delivered successfully. With these advanced functionalities, Excel VBA becomes not just a tool for data management but a comprehensive solution for managing professional communications, reducing manual effort, and increasing the reliability and effectiveness of email interactions.

I am looking for the love of my life. someone who will truly love me for who I am. someone who wants to work through our differences and issues together. someone values commitment, communication, adaptability, loyalty, and honesty as much as I do. someone who wants to put in as much effort as I do. someone I can love back just as much because when I love someone, I really love them.
I don't expect us to have all of the same interests and we should have some different ones so that we can learn from each other. what matters most to me is that we have similar core values and relationship goals. I do still have my preferences and those are:

• I don't do drugs or smoke.
• I don't drink alcohol. I would prefer if you didn't but it is not a deal breaker.
• I would like to have kids one day. I don't have any kids of my own yet and expect the same from you.
• I am not a pet person. I am also allergic to cats.
• I am not political at all.
• I am a christian and am looking for someone who shares the same faith.
• I am only looking inside of the USA but I would be willing to relocate anywhere in the country for the right person.
• I am looking for someone between the ages of 25-30.
• I am looking for a woman who is single and wants to get married one day.
• I would like to swap pictures sooner than later. my basic info is: 5'8", brown hair, white, about 150 lbs.
• I want to voice chat / video chat using discord at some point but we can start with text first.

for a brief overview of myself, I am a typical computer nerd that likes tech a lot. I like to learn about tech-related things such as programming and linux. I also like watching anime / movies / tv shows / youtube / playing video games / 3d printing / playing board games / making art such as vector art / 3d art / pixel art / drawings / paintings / hiking / bike riding / fishing / and snowboarding. I am mostly a homebody but I do a few things outside with other people from time to time.

So my group of friends and i decided to go on a trip together. Everyone booked their flights and some are coming or leaving early. This friend is leaving early. We have a connecting flight to another place so I told him that make sure he booked the earlier connecting flight cause he’s leaving earlier than us. Unfortunately he found out that he did book a wrong flight and ended up spending more $$ because of the change of dates. He was venting out and all and was very supportive and told him some people do mistakes like that. Its not a big deal. Come this week (our trip is this weekend) he realized(again) that the customer service who changed his flight mistakenly booked a latter flight. So instead of rebooking, he just purchased a one way tix with the correct flight which is way cheaper rather than modifying the booking. He was really frustrated and he was telling me about what happened and i totally get it. I would be stressed out too. But at the end of his ranting was like “fuck this i dont wanna even go to this stupid trip” and so i told him first of all i understand your frustration blah blah blah but im offended you calling it stupid trip because im so excited for this trip. You know what he told me? He said he was having a shitty day and wanted to vent out and i made it about myself. I didn’t reply cause it will make the issue worse. And today he texted that he’s so hurt about my comments and he needed support but instead I attacked him. wtf? my messaged was not even attacking him? i just told him im offended for him calling this trip STUPID?! Am i wrong to be offended?

Rant/ help
Okay idk if I’m being a bitch but I need to rant. I’m feeling overwhelmed. At first I was fine but now it’s just bothering me for some reason. My MIL often gifted me clothes for events such as weddings and they were always the prettiest so she would hand me it for like a fancy event we had. Now recently if I choose something on my own or tell her don’t worry about it she’ll start having massive worry about it and asking so what suit are you going to wear can you send me pictures, and it almost started feeling she felt she had to choose my outfit for me. You see she doesn’t do this with her other son’s wife which makes me feel different. Idk if I’m the problem. I grew up doing my own independent stuff so it just makes me feel stuffy if I’m being honest. I was working non stop, had a lot of crap to deal with like insurance studying seeing my own parents that I hadn’t for months and she kept asking and asking what I’m wearing for an event and to send her pics for an even thts at the end of the year… idk help
She also felt I don’t have much for fashion so maybe she felt I would dress bad? Idk. But I don’t have an issue with tht I literally get non stop compliments wherever event I dress for plus I obvs dress appropriately to whatever event it is

So like everyone in here, we have all had our issues with Mimecast. Whether that be their support, product offerings, partnership agreements, downtime, decrease in service offerings, admin console degradation, etc...
I think I have come to the point of looking around for other options. I am honestly sick of dealing with the same thing for years and having no foreseeable roadmap or long-term solutions from either our reps or senior engineers.
Does anyone have recommended alternates? I support and use a multitude of email environments (Gmail, O365 and On-Prem) and would be looking at a solution that could cover all of those.
Plus's include API integrations, ease of deployment, scalability, support, upsell ops. etc.
Any help is much appreciated

Introduction

Pertaining to Taylor Swift, "Female Rage" has deviated from its intended meaning after Swift debuted a new performance of The Tortured Poets Department during the Eras Tour. Now, according to Swift's use of the phrase, female rage is interpreted as public backlash against Swift's dating choices rather than as a response to the broader injustices against women and women's rights. This post examines Taylor Swift's flawed feminism, philanthropy, branding, and the controversial trademark petition for the phrase "Female Rage: The Musical". Swift's background as an entertainer, indeterminate politics, and alignment with capitalism over feminism pervades her legacy, again threatening her public tolerance as not just an individual but as a brand.

Once Upon a Female Rage...

If you were cognizant in the early 2010's, you've heard countless jabs at Taylor Swift in the media. Magazines, radio, or online. Music critics did not take her seriously as a songwriter; parents put a woman on an unrealistic pedestal as the ideal role model for their children; she dated too much and used men as lyrical fodder. No matter the story, it inevitably spread, conjoined with everyone's respective opinions, and you'd be left to wonder, "Why does everyone hate this girl so much?"
Taylor's target demographic has always been young or adolescent girls, more so when Swift herself was one. She made music that spoke to the awkward misfit, cultivating a para-social relationship with fans on MySpace, then later twitter, Instagram, and YouTube, where Taylor posted relatable vlogs showcasing the life of a homegrown American girl. Taylor had a delayed public "growing up" and, compared to her female pop contemporaries, Swift never "gratuitously sexualized her image and seems pathologically averse to controversy" (and, apparently, never even had a sip of alcohol until she turned 21). She was more than happy to spin this narrative to allude to an inherent moral superiority above other women in the industry (Better Than Revenge, heard of it?), engaging in the very slut-shaming that she herself endured (the Madonna and Whore archetypes). The victim complex arose with the need to prove Taylor as a different type of pop girl. Based upon her holy and clean image, Swift had been dubbed "a feminist's nightmare", and that "[To Swift] other girls are obstacles; undeserving enemies who steal Taylor’s soulmates with their bewitching good looks and sexual availability." Feminism and Tennessee-Christian country values don't exactly mix, it seems.
Years later, Swift befriended Lena Dunham and thus experienced white feminism osmosis, where Dunham taught Swift that real feminists defend rapists, makes insensitive jokes about rape and abortion, and prioritize all-white casts. Swift then declared herself a feminist in 2014, saying,

"Becoming friends with Lena – without her preaching to me, but just seeing why she believes what she believes, why she says what she says, why she stands for what she stands for – has made me realize that I’ve been taking a feminist stance without actually saying so."

I suppose the male-centric songwriting subject that permeates Swift's discography contained covert feminism and that we just didn't see that. Perhaps, the "Bad Blood" song and music video were written only in jest and not about poor Katy Perry, for Swift, as a feminist, would "never make it a girl fight" or tear other women down (though all Katy did was date your terrible ex-boyfriend and allegedly steal three backup dancers from your tour). In 2013, Swift said, in response to Tina Fey and Amy Poehler's joke towards her serial dating, "There is a special place in hell for women who don't help other women."
There was that time in 2015 Taylor said that Nicki Minaj was "invited to any stage [she is] on" (as if Taylor expects to have access to every stage, award, and platform that Nicki might not otherwise have as a black female artist...yikes!) in response to Nicki's criticism of the white + thin VMA nominations. Later, Nicki responded with confusion, as Swift continued, "It’s unlike you to pit women against each other. Maybe one of the men took your slot..". Of course, this 'beef' was 'squashed' when Nicki performed with Taylor at the VMAs, with Nicki quite literally only having 38 seconds of stage time without Taylor. Maybe all that parading around with a legion of famous white women - similar to the way Taylor might've done with her numerous 1989-era handbags - was in fact a stance against gender inequality, and that this display of "girl power" should be enough to constitute Swift as a feminist icon.
Even while Swift says that Dunham informed her feminist outlook, she dances around the exact contents of those beliefs: "what she believes, what she says, what she stands for" is not exactly insightful towards what beliefs Swift might have inherited. Taylor never broaches women's rights topics such femicide, FGM, forced pregnancy & marriage, sex trafficking, women in slavery, women's financial and political oppression, women's educational rights, women's health, or women's autonomy, so we can assume she only gives a fuck about "girls supporting girls" (whatever that fucking means).
Despite some questionable (and sometimes vindictive) behavior, Taylor as a young woman did not deserve every media lashing that she received. We cannot deny that most headlines and criticisms perpetuated a misogynistic rhetoric which has plagued Swift for a majority of her career. Acknowledging events such as the development of her ED, her sexual assault trial, "Famous" lyric and MV depiction of Taylor, and the explicit Twitter deepfakes, for example, as both disgusting and unfortunate things that happened to a young woman in Hollywood does not negate the fact that Taylor is mostly a performative feminist.

Get Your Fucking Ass Up and Be a Philanthropist, It Seems Like Nobody Wants to Be a Philanthropist These Days

In 2013, Taylor Swift cut the ribbon at the grand opening of the Taylor Swift Education Center at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, Tennessee. The donation amount - $4 million - was the largest individual artist gift ever donated to the Country Music Hall of Fame, which is, of course, mentioned on Swift's website. The two-story facility features three classrooms, an instrument room, and an interactive children's exhibit gallery. Swift also performed at "All for the Hall" charity shows and has donated numerous artifacts from her career (such as notable guitars, tour costumes, etc) to the museum.
This was over 11 years ago, and it is still the only notable philanthropic contribution Taylor Swift has made.
For a woman of her net worth and stature, and a woman who recognizes the difficulties for women in film and music, you would think that Taylor Swift might establish a scholarship program for women to study the arts or something. Perhaps Swift might even consider becoming a member of organizations that support female artists, or one that supports LGBTQ+ causes (since she is now proudly an ally), yet she remains superficial with her graces. Broader philanthropy, such as donating relief aid to Palestinian women or women impacted by violence and discrimination will probably never receive any financial support from Miss Swift because then she'd be using her money towards philanthropies involving anyone but white entertainers.
She even says herself in Miss Americana, "My entire moral code as a kid and now is a need to be thought of as 'good'." Well, she's certainly thought of as good, though her actions say otherwise. She's more than happy to do a vaguely altruistic song and dance for a clip-worthy interview quote and mass appeasement, then fuck off to one of her mansions on a 20 minute private jet flight, rather than actually contribute to anything pertaining to the causes she has endorsed. Yet, far too many people continue to give a woman such as her their money, time, and energy, and she hoards these resources to herself.

I Like Some of the Taylor's Songs, But What the Fuck Does She Know About Feminism?

Swift continued with her self-proclaimed feminist campaign, positioning herself as a political activist and LGBTQ+ ally in the Miss Americana documentary. The primary focus of the documentary consists of the sexual assault trial, Andrea Swift's cancer diagnosis, Taylor's ED and body dysmorphia, media scrutiny, and, largely, finally speaking up about her politics publicly, mostly her opposition to the 2018 Tennessee Republican senate candidate, Marsha Blackburn, and Blackburn's beliefs. Swift says, following a scene discussing her experience during the trial,

"I just couldn't really stop thinking about it. And I just thought to myself, next time there is any opportunity to change anything, you had better know what you stand for and what you want to say."

We must ask ourselves, though: when has Swift ever spoken up to change anything? Okay, pulling her entire catalogue from Spotify because they didn't pay their artists enough and similarly pulling her catalogue from Apple Music are changes that she leveraged due to her revenue potential and power, but they are not pertinent to the average woman's rights. Moreover, these are issues that directly impacted Taylor's income, which was enough reason for her to protest in the first place. Swift has sold the most units for a female artist in first week sales, is the first female artist with 100k monthly Spotify listeners, is the first female artist to win the Album of the Year Grammy 4 times, and is the first female artist to do X, Y, and Z, all while being inoffensive and family-friendly to boot. The actual Taylor Swift seems unwilling to compromise the brand of Taylor Swift by contributing in meaningful ways to feminist causes, especially if it is for women outside of America and Hollywood.
The reason political anthems such as "The Man" and "Only the Young" of the Lover era feel disingenuous and corporate is because, well, it is. Taylor has taken every opportunity to advance her career or public image at the expense of other women. What is truly genuine to Taylor's outlook on other women is vying for male attention, taking down female competition, and vocalizing feminist injustices only if they directly impact her and her money. Some will argue that it's satisfactory for a woman with such a huge platform to even TALK about feminism, but that just isn't enough. It's even less impressive when you candidly look at the scope of her feminist lens: "If I was the man, then I'd be THE MAN", or "I really resent the ‘Be careful, buddy, she’s going to write a song about you’ angle, because it trivialises what I do", and, of course, "We all got crowns". Feminism, but only when it happens to me. It gets worse when you look at Taylor's track record of copying other famous women and removing other female artists as potential threats to her pop prowess.
It's good for PR to align yourself with certain blanket feminist and political beliefs, therefore good for branding, therefore good for ticketing and merchandise sales, therefore good for business. And Taylor Swift is a business.
She's not a feminist. Taylor Swift is a capitalist.

I Can't Pay Those Sweatshop Workers a Livable Wage or Benefits! How Else Would I Make My Billions?

Recently, Taylor's team filed to trademark the phrase "Female Rage: The Musical" after Taylor said during Paris N1 of the Eras Tour,

"So you were the first ones to see The Tortured Poets at the Eras Tour...or as I like to call it, 'Female Rage: The Musical'."

This trademark petition was filed last week on Saturday, and news comes about just as numerous unofficial fan-made merch designs have cropped up with this phrase plastered on Fruit of the Loom basics. I'm of the opinion Swift's team motioned for a trademark so that they can send out cease & desists to all those that make knockoff merch, which disrupts potential sales for Bravado, UMG's choice merchandising company; however, since it was filed earlier, perhaps Swift has bigger plans with the bizarre use of the gendered phrase. One Swiftie referred to the phrase "female rage" as "a funny Eras Tour joke". Could it be a possible fourth version of the Eras Tour Movie? Whatever the reason, the motion to capitalize off of such a concept is disgusting, but not unsurprising, for a woman that profits on her vain feminism.
Swift, through her company, TAS Rights Managements, has also trademarked over 200 phrases, including "1989", where she owns the property rights to this calendar year on keychains, phone cases, sunglasses, stationary, bags, beverage ware, clothing, entertainment services, your subconscious, and, of course, Christmas ornaments.
The vapid consumerism in Swiftie culture is, frankly, disgusting. Bravado's sustainability statement is non-existent, the quality control is abysmal, and the materials they use are horrible. The materials, such as acrylic and polyester, are made from petrochemicals. This means they are non-renewable, shed microplastics, and are quite toxic in production. The manufacturing process to make all of those lazy-rushed Eras Tour logo graphic tees is a huge blow to environmental well-being. Apparently, though, Swifties don't give a fuck. They sell out products in seconds and either have to face the manufactured scarcity or buy from a scalper that resells for 200% of the already ridiculous retail price. This doesn't include the environmental impact of vinyl records, CD, and cassette production, of which Taylor produces many variants that sell unsustainable amounts.
If we're talking about women's rights violations, why is no one acknowledging the women that work in the inhumane sweatshop conditions that have to pump out fugly t-shirts and hats? The millions of plastic microfiber dander they are inhaling, or the toxic dyes that touch their bare skin? Are they being compensated fairly for their skilled labour and are they in safe working environments? Do these women have minimal bargaining power, and do they have authority over their worker's rights? Is Taylor Swift female raging at their injustices? Does Taylor Swift ever feels bad that her wealth was built on the backs of women of color, disadvantaged by the demands of the global economy and garment industry? Do you think she ever says a little white feminist prayer for them before she goes to sleep at night?
What's even crazier is not that Taylor herself doesn't care, it's that Swifties don't care. There CANNOT BE ethical billionaires. You only make a billion dollars if you are exploiting other human beings for capital gain. Based on public perception of the possible "Female Rage: The Musical" trademark, it seems like Swifties are already asking for merch with this phrase. "If Taylor made it, I'd buy it." Oh, cool. So not only do you champion Miss Swift's avarice and billionaire status, but you also are unashamed to admit to your blind consumption of her music and merchandise, no matter where they might originate in production or sincerity. Just as Swift takes and takes and takes, Swifties' consumerism of Taylor Swift cannot be quelled.
The tortured artist's most vulnerable and sincere poetry...available now in 21 different versions!

I Am Tortured Poet, Hear Me Whinge

Look - even if Taylor's intention is to characterize TTPD as more "tortured" and "angry", the main thread of the album is "I was ghosted by my decade-long situationship with a controversial indie boy and my fucking stupid fans wrote a 'Speak Up Now' open letter prompting me to drop him" anger, which is adequately expressed in the lyrics and performances. The extent of Taylor's "female rage" on TTPD is on tracks such as "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?", which contends with relentless media scrutiny; "But Daddy I Love Him", where Swift firmly states she'll date whoever she likes no matter how "Sarahs and Hannahs" may react; and "The Albatross", a track mythologizing her reputation and the consequences of dating her. Of course, these coincide with deep psychological wounds that formed during Swift's early years in the media, and so, from her feminist perspective, these subjects tackle the misogyny and double standards that she faced.
Yet Taylor Swift still has no grounds to be claiming that TTPD best exemplifies female rage and therefore she, in the context of this album, is female rage incarnate. As the daughter of a stock broker and mutual fund marketing executive, Taylor was born into wealth and allowed privileges like trips and subsequent relocation to Nashville all so that she might get a record deal. Her father even invested at least $120,000 into the then-fledgling label, Big Machine Records, which ensured Taylor's place with Borchetta after leaving her dead-end development deal with Sony. The fact that her parents were able to buy her a fucking brand new guitar for Christmas and pay for music lessons says so much about the financial security and safety of her childhood.
Money is privilege and protection, and despite Swift's experiences with misogyny and loser boyfriends, she does not know what female rage is.
Her rage is derived from her frustrations with her obsessive fans pulling the moral superiority card on Taylor in response to her rebound with Matty Healy. That's literally it. She's just pissed that the monster she created is no longer obediant, it's become a feral, sovereign entity that depletes the world of its natural resources and thinks it is more intelligent than it actually is because it's mommy has started to talk to it with big words. Apparently, 'illicit', 'elegy', 'nonchalant', and 'precocious' are considerably big words for the oafish monster, and I find it strange that this level of literacy is present in a group of fans that allegedly have GPAs of 3.5 or higher, but I digress.
Taylor Swift has never been one paycheck away from destitution. Taylor Swift has never experienced racial discrimination. She may have instances of gender discrimination, but she possesses the ideal white, blonde American beauty standard and therefore reaps the benefits of being a conventionally attractive woman. Taylor Swift has sufficient social capital. Taylor Swift is a billionaire woman prolonging her victimhood though she, as a woman, has mostly had control over her image and music (unlike her contemporaries). Taylor Swift is NOT entitled to be championed for her "female rage", nor should she be. Taylor Swift has never even been the struggling artist, for fuck's sake. I don't give a fuck if she's trying to fill the empty lunch tables of her past. Taylor Swift purporting herself, her unpolished album, and her lukewarm feminism as a musical bleeding with female rage is asinine.

Sigh Try and Come For My Job, Poors

Out there in the world right now is a 23-year-old woman, a recent college grad, who works as a barista. She has to wake up and get ready to go into a minimum wage job because she cannot get a job in her field. She doesn't have healthcare benefits or sick time, so she has to go into work no matter how she's feeling. All day long she is berated by vicious customers and creepy men, and, exhausted from being on her feet, she knows she has to go home to her shitty roommate that never does the dishes and her roommate's shitty dog. To comfort herself, she considers getting a treat, but thinks against it when she remembers that matcha lattes cost $15 and they taste like milky dirt. She knows that she needs to buy groceries this week, and so the woman resolves to go home, but notices that her gas tank is low. She goes to put gas in the car, but the pump stops at $27.86 because that's all that she has in her checking account. The woman, bereft and reeling, sinks into the driver's seat. "Well," she thinks, her head in her hands, "at least I don't have Taylor Swift's job. I just couldn't imagine."
Fame is somewhat of a choice. If at any moment Taylor feels that she is misunderstood, misconstrued, or overwhelmed by public opinion, she can LEAVE the public eye - Lord knows she has the retirement fund and residuals to do so. In "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart", the TTPD song about meeting the demands of your career-zenith mega-tour while in the relationship trenches, Taylor ends the song by rambling,

"You know you're good when you can even do it with a broken heart...you know you're good...and I'm good, cause I'm miserable, and no one even knows!...try and come for my job."

Yeah, obviously we wouldn't know, you recently passed the billionaire threshold and are the most famous and in-demand performer in the world right now. Taylor Swift makes an estimated $10 to $13 million dollars A NIGHT on the Eras Tour. Furthermore, the Eras Tour movie grossed $261.6 million globally, (which, as the producer, Taylor takes home 57% of the ticket sales) not counting the streaming revenue from Amazon Prime Video and the estimated $75 million deal that Disney paid to have it on Disney+. We're not even considering the income from cheap plastic popcorn buckets and drink cups plastered with colored squares in her Era-specific likeness.
It's funny. Taylor Swift often said that being famous wasn't hard, that she "isn't complaining". I'm sure it is difficult to always have to present in a good mood, else you'll end up misrepresented in the media, and I'm sure it's invasive to virtually have no privacy or semblance of anonymity. Still, Taylor Swift shows up each night of tour and performs. For a majority of her career, she has penned her sad songs while on the road. Most of "Red", her breakup album, was written in the thick of the Speak Now World tour. Now, some Swifties say they almost "feel bad" for attending the Eras Tour with Swift's revelations in this song, that they have had a 'dimmed experience' upon hearing Taylor's misery whilst performing. Despite the fact that Taylor said that "this was the happiest she's ever been" at Gilette Stadium in May, the lyrics "boohoo, woe is me, smile for the cameras and make the fans happy!!!" are jarring for Eras attendees.
While Taylor Swift was making double-digit millions a night in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and feeling miserable, Ana Clara Benevides Machado passed away due to heat exposure. The concert promoters, Time For Fun, are now the subject of a criminal investigation due to their lack of adequate hydration and safety. Taylor Swift cancelled the Sunday show that was to follow and offered VIP tent tickets to Benevides Marchado's family, which was a kind gesture, but perhaps incongruous to the incident of which they were offered as consolation. Everyone grieves differently, of course, but I'm not sure attending the very show at the very same venue that my daughter or sister passed away in two days prior, where the singer CONTINUED the show despite her death, would be healthy for closure.
There was no female rage at the show as Swift never saw Benevides Machado pass out. There was no female rage towards the disregard for fans as humans while Swift elected to proceed with her Brazil tour dates despite the country being in historic heatwaves (at risk of overheatting herself). If Taylor Swift was so shaken by touring with a broken heart or a fan's passing, she wouldn't have added an additional North American leg of Eras just two months after the Matty breakup. She's brokenhearted but willing to mend the cracks with your money and move onward with her worldwide female rage induced pillaging.
No matter what happens, even if you die at a Taylor Swift concert, Taylor collects a big fat check and flies away. She doesn't know you as anything other than a conversion rate or earning potential despite what her nearly 20-year long parasocial relationship with fans might otherwise indicate. She knows that, while some Swifties are without disposable income, they feel obligated to spend on a "48 Hours Only!" exclusive vinyl variant instead of necessities because they are so entrenched in Taylor Swift's intoxicating celebrity, they'll prioritize materialistic fandom before their needs. This is good enough for her because this means she can expand her real estate portfolio and finance her cat's lavish lifestyles. They're worth an estimated $100 million dollars. Her three cats could pool their net worth and solve world hunger.
While you and I might be denied bereavement leave and barely surviving the current political and economic climate, Taylor Swift has to, instead of gets to, perform for stadiums at full attendance for three nights in a row across the globe. You and I might be replaced by AI at our longtime jobs, but Taylor Swift is threatened with losing more and more money each time you listen to a "Stolen Version" of her songs. If we don't buy every variant of all of her albums, then who is going to pay for the fucking cats?
It is tone deaf to spend as she spends and lives as she lives in this economy, but this is her reality. She was able to donate $100,000 to all of her tour truck drivers, and that's wonderful, but it leads me to wonder about the ethos of the 2020s where one woman can hoard such life-changing amounts of money. Remember in 2014 when she gave a fan $90 ($120 in today's money) to get Chipotle because she had no fucking clue how much it cost? This is a 34-year-old woman who is increasingly out of touch with the reality for working class people and women in general. Normal everyday adults must wake up and go to their thankless jobs, and yet Taylor Swift, despite all her riches, incessantly references the lows of her life and career as a public figure and entertainer to farm sympathy and drive sales. And still, the corporate women have latched onto "I cry a lot, but I am so productive! It's an art!" as their cubicle battle cry.
Do you think that, from up in her private jet, Taylor Swift gazes at the world through her poetic, tortured eyes, and thinks, "All the little people, in their cars, walking, going about their lives...all those girls that don't support girls...do they know that I've made an album about female rage?"

Conclusion/TLDR

Thank you for reading. I would love to hear your critical insights towards this entire ordeal: TTPD, the trademark, the implications of it all.
TLDR: Taylor Swift is a bad feminist and is delusional to think that the TTPD eras set exemplifies female rage at women's injustice.

Hello all. First time poster here. I have a question regarding if it is possible to satisfy a generic constraint using an extension method. Trying to make it short, if a generic type T has a IFoo constraint, where IFoo provides a given method Bar(), how can I use the class Abel, which does not implement IFoo, but does provide the ableInstance.Bar() method through an extension, as the T generic type?
Let me explain a bit more, with some simplistic examples (to simply expose the pattern).
Note: Sometime I tend to overcomplexify for nothing, so feel free to propose alternative ways (even if what I am looking for works).
I have some interfaces that define properties and methods that a model should have (I'll call them behavior interfaces).
```csharp
public interface IIdentifiable { public int Id { get; } }
public interface ITransformable { public TTransformed Transform(); }
```
In some classes that deal with the common business rules, I make use of these behavior interfaces to constraint the generic types. These classes are meant to be inherited to specialize the business rules for the specific models.
```csharp
public class MyGenericBusinessRule where T : IIdentifiable, ITransformable { public TTransformed ActOnBusinessRule(T model) { // [...] // Doing some stuff with the model, including accessing model.Id // [...] return model.Transform() } }
```
I implement my models using typical POCO and Extension methods. Note that the extension methods are not necessarily in the same project, more often they are close to the business rules classes above, while the model POCO classes are in their own project.
```csharp
// POCO classes public class MyModel : IIdentifiable { public int Id { get; init; } public string Name { get; init; } }
// POCO classes public class MyModelTransformed { public string OtherName { get; init; } }
// Extension methods public static class MyModelExtensions { public static MyModelTransformed Transform(this MyModel model) { return new MyModelTransformed { OtherName = model.Name }; } }
```
So, when I come to the classes that implement the specific business rules of the model is where I have my issue. Basically, when using MyModel as T in MyGenericBussinessRule, I get a Compiler Error CS0311 because (obviously!), MyModel does not implicitly satisfy the ITransformable generic constraint.
However, since my extension method does provide the implementation that (should) satisfy the ITransformable constraint, is there a way to tell explicitly to the compiler that the extension method does provide a reference conversion from 'MyModel' to 'ITransformable'?
```csharp
public class MySpecificBusinessRule : MyGenericBusinessRule // ^ Compiler Error CS0311 // The type 'MyModel' cannot be used as type parameter 'T' in the generic type or method 'MyGenericBusinessRule'. // There is no implicit reference conversion from 'MyModel' to 'ITransformable'. { // [...] }
```
