2024.05.15 07:25 Sin-God A New Chain: Another Day Another Dollar
A/N: This incorporates a new build, with additional drawbacks and perks. I added a few gamer functions, as well as Lightning Quick, Brute Strength, DPS, and Rogue. More details are available over on Spacebattles (I also edited the original chapters there to reflect the changes).
Within minutes of entering the building and clocking in, I'm speedily typing away at my computer. There are stacks of papers on my desk that I am dedicatedly transcribing and digitizing.
This is my job, at least on most days. I have to take sheets of paper, invariably assorted forms related to insurance, and digitize them. In minutes I have already done this to a few different types of forms, from applications to the paperwork regarding claims and investigations into claims. "Speed Typist" mixed with "Lightning Quick" allows me to easily breeze through even dense forms and shift between the programs I need to use for each type of form. My job is hilariously, almost offensively, easy and I have already heard that we have a backlog so I have plenty of stuff to go through.
As I type I begin to think about each of my gamer perks as well as my system. Every few minutes I'll "mistype" thanks to "Buggy" and I'll spend a split second going back and fixing my mistake but between "The Devil's Own Luck" and "Lightning Quick" I'm able to fix my mistakes in a span of milliseconds. While I type I use "Observe" every instance I can, throwing in a tiny burst to the overall amount of experience I gain.
I use my enhanced mind's passive ability to follow two trains of thought while I work. As far as anyone can tell I'm diligently doing my job, but in actuality I'm exploring my system. Through passive, almost imperceptible gestures, mostly due to how fast they are, I am messing around with my rather system.
I whittle away the hours I need to spend at my job doing this. During this time I get a few of my skills to level up a few times, thanks to my decision to faithfully and diligently hone some of my other abilities like "Observe". Eventually lunch rolls around and Amy sneaks up behind me so she can surprise me and draw me away from my work. I feign surprise when she reaches me up and taps on my shoulder, and this is a perfect chance for me to try something out.
I make small talk and I silently activate my ability to pause reality while I'm in the middle of a sentence. The world freezes around me and I get to see Amy freeze as she reacts to what I'm saying. I have a reason for doing this, it's all for the sake of experimenting with some of my more intriguing abilities.
I focus on Amy even as I interact with my system's UI and I activate my "Gacha" mechanic. In my mind's eye I can see a logo representing a capsule machine beginning to stir to life and spin some of the capsules containing various awards, and I think about two enormously powerful perks: "The Face" and "Silver Tongue".
These two charisma enhancing perks are incredibly valuable tools in my repertoire and I have yet to meaningfully use them. One of them, "Silver Tongue" is not as directly powerful as "The Face" but it offers me broad knowledge of psychology, enhances my charismatic intuition, and makes me incredibly attractive. The real powerhouse of a perk is "The Face". By focusing on people and thinking of something I want them to believe or persuade them to do I have a supernatural intuitive sense that allows me to know the best sort of argument I could make to achieve that goal. To test this I study Amy while wondering if there's any way for me to convince her to go on a date with me, and after a split second of thinking I begin to feel vague intuitive senses of what I could say and do that would make her see me as a potential romantic interest, and I know that doing that before I ask her out would guarantee success if I wanted her to go on a date with me.
I immediately shift tactics and try to see if I could persuade her to give me 100,000 dollars, and I am unsurprised when I do not gain any vague sensations about how to make that happen one way or another. "Worth a shot..." I tell myself, and if I could smile more I would. Both of these perks are strong, but I'm clever enough to recognize that they become even stronger when I add "Beautiful Mind" and "Well of Wisdom" to the mix. WoW is especially handy in a combination like this, since it allows me to pick and choose the most efficient route to my desired outcome. This is especially true if I mix it with my ability to pause time, since I can give myself breathing room and contemplate how to most skillfully word my arguments and present my positions.
The gacha machine, or some abstraction of one, in my head slows to a stop. When it does a symbol of a capsule pops out and I am delighted to see that I've won a mundane iPad like device, a handy thing I can use as a computer for the time being! This is quite handy, and I can see this particular mechanic becoming something life-saving in a moment of desperation with the right amount of luck. The decide immediately fills a slot in my inventory, and I make a mental note to pull it out and use it later.
I unpause time and over the course of the next few minutes I use my skills, mixing all of the aforementioned perks and functions of my gamer skills as Amy and I walk over to the cafeteria. It is only when we're sitting through the door into the cafeteria that I sense an opportunity to ask my friend something.
"Hey, do you want to try a soup I made? I like it but having a second opinion is always good." I remark, causing her eyes to brightly light up. I grin at her and we walk over to the same table we ate at yesterday. I hand her the small container I'm holding my soup in, and she looks at it. I see her inhale and watch as her eyes light up. We're the first of the people to arrive at our table so no one else sees this. The container I gave her also has some silverware which she uses to go ahead and take a sip of the soup. I am delighted when time freezes and I get a notification alerting me to the acquisition of a new class: that of a chef. I immediately equip it even as I click through the drawback that appears before me. This also confirms that at least in some cases what is needed for me to get a class is for me to do stuff in front of others or at least involve them in some way.
As time resumes I see Amy's face light up.
"This is delicious!" She states with a delighted and sincere grin. I light up as she tells me this and I lightly cheer. This is excellent news, and my acquisition of this class is very fascinating. When it comes to classes I have a unique ability to get them to "Prestige" once they reach a high enough level, and given my current build's focus on support, buffing, and healing, if I can master a class like that of a chef I can do a lot.
"I'm so happy you like it!" I exclaim, sincerely. It really does taste quite good, but my whole body is enhanced and I'm superhumanly sensitive to things like taste so there's no guarantee that what I taste will be what others taste. That said, cooking is an absolutely incredible skill so if I can master it... Well, I'll always be able to prove my worth in almost any situation involving other people. Cooking... is a cracked skill to have in real life.
Our friends join us and as they do Amy turns to them and hands one of the women the container. Mary looks at us quizzically and Amy pantomimes for her friend to try the soup. Mary's look of confusion only becomes more apparent, but she still dutifully does as she's been asked, using her own silverware to do so. Her eyes light up as well and I feel how much experience I have as a cook slowly increase, which brings a smug smile to my face.
"This is delicious! What is this?!" Mary asks, and I grin and point at me. She smiles, impressed, before handing it back to me.
"I made this soup last night. I liked it but I didn't know if I was going crazy or not." I remark, and that gets a laugh out of Amy.
"Well, if working at an office ever gets boring you could make a living as a chef. This is amazing!" She states, and I can hear the honesty in her voice. It's kind of nice how much she likes the stuff, and a part of me wouldn't mind making more food for her if she's gonna be this enthusiastic about what I give her to eat.
It's hard not for me not to beam at my companions in passive delight the whole time we're eating lunch. The lunchroom conversation is kept simple and we simply inform each other about upcoming plans and light gossip, all of which I've heard before thanks to my enhanced, and growing, senses. Super Sensory is a strong enough perk by default but because of my ability to expand every facet of myself, coupled with the universality of "Master of All" I am just passively growing in my ability to hear stuff. Seeing as I am uncapped I could see myself someday hearing every conversation in this building, almost certainly by the end of the year given how all of my growth is linked together and builds on each other.
Lunch comes and goes in a blur and in minutes I'm back in front of the computer. In front of the computer I'm a blur, my fingers strengthened by Lightning Quick and Speed Typist. I whittle away the hours diligently doing my job, distracting myself and minorly doing other things by making use of my dual trains of thought, and even when I overcome instances of "Buggy" every few minutes I still find myself grateful that I took the drawbacks I did. This work would be... less than fun otherwise. By the time my workday comes to an end and I find myself outside of the office I've filled out hundreds of forms and diligently pushed various skills of mine to new levels. Colleagues of mine are walking around me and also leaving the office. I casually pause time. making use of my pause ability again, and I begin to think of what to do and where to go next.
"I suppose now's as good a time as any to go and see about volunteering..." I eventually realize as I think about the various things I can do from here. I momentarily wonder where I should go to try and do that before I remember what I told Amy and the others yesterday about how I volunteered at a clinic. WIth Healer volunteering at a hospital would be good for me, even if I couldn't do as much good as I'd like too since I am not a doctor. I unpause time and smile as I reach into my pocket, use "Inventory" and retrieve my cellphone.
"Where is the nearest hospital?" I ask aloud, into the phone. Some of the people walking past me glance at me curiously and I smile sheepishly as my phone begins to tell me where to go. I begin to walk in the direction the phone indicates, happy to have a chance to begin to do some good.
The walk isn't terribly long. It turns out that the hospital is in a part of downtown that I didn't explore last night, and I reach it less than five minutes after I start walking, just in the opposite direction of where I was going before. The hospital isn't huge, which surprises me since I don't seem to be living in some small town but in a decently sized city. I walk into the main entrance and step into a large lobby where a decent amount of foot traffic seems to happen, judging from the footprints I can faintly see on the floor beneath me. I walk up to a receptionist desk and the man behind it doesn't bother looking up and instead taps the clipboard in front of him. I glance at it and laugh when I see that it's a standard questionnaire for people who are visiting a hospital for normal, health-related reasons. My reaction surprises the man, and to be fair it's definitely odd for someone in a hospital to laugh at the sight of a hospital questionnaire.
I am laughing at the questionnaire because it's amusing to think about the possibility of getting sick, I'm a gamer, and while normally that'd conjure images of nerds and geeks in my case it means that my health is protected. I have two very powerful perks/features that wildly mitigate the dangers of sicknesses: "Tough As Nails" which guarantees that it'd take something supernatural or almost supernatural to stand a chance of even slowing me down, and "Gamer Body". Gamer Body is interesting in this context since it gamifies negative conditions and allows me to, quite literally, sleep them off. Even something like losing a limb can be cured with a night of sleep thanks to my abilities which feels radically overpowered given how little it cost. I have other perks which further lower my odds of being negatively affected by sicknesses, such as "The Devil's Own Luck". I also have my magic, which includes spells that completely heal and purify the body, and would work on me just as readily as they'd work on other people.
"I'm actually here to learn how to volunteer? I'm new in town and I used to volunteer at a clinic in my home town so I wanted to see if I could volunteer here." I explain, which causes the guy to look up at me. When he does his eyes widen, and I smile awkwardly. I consider feigning ignorance, or perhaps innocence, but I know what's going on. He wasn't expecting me to look the way I look.
My new looks are something it is taking me a beat to get used to. I was only okay looking before, but now my looks are hyper idealized, and I am a conceptually handsome version of the very best I could have ever looked, and it is a bit jarring. It's more jarring for me, knowing that before I was an at best average-looking guy before coming to this world and gaining this new form. I allow the man a beat, before I clear my throat and the sound snaps him out of the daze he was in.
"Oh! Sorry, man, I just assumed you were sick. Umm... Yeah, let me give you a packet." The man says, before reaching under the desk in front of him. I smile lightly as he rummages around the interior of the space that separates us.
My powerful senses allow me to easily notice all sorts of stuff occurring around me. I can hear the vital processes in the bodies of the people closest to me, such as heartbeats and the smells of sweat, as well as other bodily fluids. Many of the people in this area of the hospital are sick, and truthfully if I could I'd heal them all.
One of my reasons for coming here today is to give myself a means by which I can help and heal people. This is, mildly, altruistic but more than anything else I want to master the power to heal people before I leave this setting. In the right setting, being a healer is absolutely a pivotal method of interacting with my environment and also getting allies, as well as staying alive.
The man eventually hands me a packet, along with a pen to use to fill out parts of it, and I smile at him as I take it. It is filled with information, including an application to fill out, and I thank him as I walk over to the waiting area and begin to fill it out. The questions are simple and ask for basic information about me. I fill it out, though a part of me is curious how this'll mesh with my drawbacks...
When I finish filling out the form I hand it to the man and he gratefully takes it. He explains that I'll be contacted by someone named "Ms. Jimenez" soon, and that she oversees the volunteer program. I delightedly thank him for that information and begin to head out of the hospital.
In minutes I'm part of the way home. I am a decently fast walker, though that's something I'd like to work on more in the days to come. The sun is quickly descending, and the moon is already visible in the night sky. I'm approaching the row of apartment buildings that include the building I live in. As I draw nearer and nearer to it I spot a lone homeless man sleeping next to one of the apartments. He is clearly asleep and my observation ability only confirms this. It also reveals that the man is sick, and when I glance at his hit points I see further confirmation of that, as he's down a few of them. I am walking towards him, and as I move I see a nice opportunity for me to try something.
I silently activate "Rogue", one of my more odd perks, and I feel my presence become much more subdued and difficult to notice. I approach the man, and I shut my eyes. As I walk towards him I allow myself to be guided by Super Sensory and only stop when I'm right in front of the man. I kneel and I focus on my spellbook icon, allowing me to see my list of spells. My senses allow me to be confident that the figure is still asleep when I gently move my hands so that they are in front of him. Time freezes as I gain a "Stealth" skill, and while time is frozen I swap my class and become a mage so I can gain valuable experience before I deactivate "Tutorial Sprite". I allow time to resume and smile as I trigger a spell for the first time, one of healing.
For me to activate the spell requires nothing more than for me to have enough magic points and an applicable target. This particular spell is my more advanced spell and it can work on all sorts of living targets. It is named "Intermediate heal" and the fact that I have it is a sign of one of my purchases; Healer. I feel my points of arcane energy be converted into sacred, restorative energy and I open my eyes in time to watch my hands begin to glow as energy leaves me and enters him. I look at his hit points and watch them begin to slowly increase even as I hit him with another instance of "Observe". I do so just in time to feel time freeze as new notifications appear in my mind's eye. One of the first notifications is that I have just earned experience for the "Mage" class, which becomes experience for everything thanks to Master of All, while another indicates that I've just unlocked a quest to become a healer! I study these notifications with a proud grin as this marks an important milestone in my journey. The fact that the class I want is locked behind a quest is interesting and I make a mental note to study the quest as I head home.
I unfreeze time, notice that the man is already visibly healthier, and turn to make my way back to my new home. It takes only about six minutes before I find myself stepping into my apartment. Now I can play with my new toy from earlier!

The sun is quickly descending, and the moon is already visible in the night sky. I'm approaching the row of apartment buildings that include the building I live in. As I draw nearer and nearer to it I spot a lone homeless man sleeping next to one of the apartments. He is clearly asleep and my observation ability only confirms this. It also reveals that the man is sick, and when I glance at his hit points I see further confirmation of that, as he's down a few of them. I am walking towards him, and as I move I see a nice opportunity for me to try something.
I silently activate "Rogue", one of my more odd perks, and I feel my presence become much more subdued and difficult to notice. I approach the man, and I shut my eyes. As I walk towards him I allow myself to be guided by Super Sensory and only stop when I'm right in front of the man. I kneel and I focus on my spellbook icon, allowing me to see my list of spells. My senses allow me to be confident that the figure is still asleep when I gently move my hands so that they are in front of him. Time freezes as I gain a "Stealth" skill, and while time is frozen I swap my class and become a mage so I can gain valuable experience before I deactivate "Tutorial Sprite". I allow time to resume and smile as I trigger a spell for the first time, one of healing.
For me to activate the spell requires nothing more than for me to have enough magic points and an applicable target. This particular spell is my more advanced spell and it can work on all sorts of living targets. It is named "Intermediate heal" and the fact that I have it is a sign of one of my purchases; Healer. I feel my points of arcane energy be converted into sacred, restorative energy and I open my eyes in time to watch my hands begin to glow as energy leaves me and enters him. I look at his hit points and watch them begin to slowly increase even as I hit him with another instance of "Observe". I do so just in time to feel time freeze as new notifications appear in my mind's eye. One of the first notifications is that I have just earned experience for the "Mage" class, which becomes experience for everything thanks to Master of All, while another indicates that I've just unlocked a quest to become a healer! I study these notifications with a proud grin as this marks an important milestone in my journey. The fact that the class I want is locked behind a quest is interesting and I make a mental note to study the quest as I head home.
I unfreeze time, notice that the man is already visibly healthier, and turn to make my way back to my new home. It takes only about six minutes before I find myself stepping into my apartment. Now I can play with my new toy from earlier!
2024.05.15 07:25 RogerZero5OH Told to ignore AskLE advice
I realize a bulk of the people here are not LE, I had asked previously how badly my separation from my job as a CO would reflect on my app to LE, I was told to be honest about it, and that I was in the wrong about how I went about resigning (understandable), and it would be a big deal. However, I just went through a recruiter to my local agency and I mentioned my CO separation and the reasons for it, he said they couldn't care less about it and neither would anyone else during the hiring process and not to bother mentioning it, I admitted that I had asked online about and he said to ignore it. It is on my resume and I'm assuming I'll be asked about it. Should I trust the recruiter on this?

2024.05.15 07:24 Own_Employ_5971 Tips for moving on from ex you don’t want to be with
Hi everyone I (F25) was broken up with my (M24) ex last year after being long distance dating for 2.5 years and then moving in together for only 6 months before ending things. (Roughly 3 years together total)
(Side note, this was my first relationship ever)
We met online and were living in different states. I made lots of efforts to go visit him and sometimes he’d come visit me but I still lived with my parents so we enjoyed being together in his state/place but I would get homesick really quickly.
When we got to the point of deciding to move in with each other, he said he wanted to try a state that was new to both of us. He was ready to leave his state but he stated he never wanted to ever live where I originally lived. Mind you, I had my whole family, friends and work back in my state.. he worked remotely..
We went on a trip to visit the new state and found a really perfect little apartment for us but when we were flying back, I got this horrible gut feeling of not wanting to move. I told him this and he got upset and completely shut down and didn’t speak to me the whole flight back. I got nauseous and anxious and told him my concerns. He said “we can just try. It’s not permanent”. I gave in and we move there.
Among other things that were just not working in our relationship, I feel like I compromised so much of my life and completely lost myself in the relationship. I made enough money with my job to fly back and forth for work/life but I was so depressed. We had no friends or social circle in our new city/state. I would wake up sobbing often just not having any motivation to do anything I was homesick but also exhausted from constantly flying. He had the audacity to tell me that me crying all the time was hard on him as a boyfriend. Never once did he make an effort to try and live where I originally lived.
Eventually, we broke up and I know now that it was the best decision. We ended on good terms. I even remember he walked me to the train station that was heading to the airport. We hugged, I kissed him on the cheek and we both said “I love you” before leaving for the last time.
We tried to be friends at first and we’d send memes or little things here and there but eventually it was a lot and I was having a hard time healing. We both amicably decided to go “no contact”. I remember I sent 3 messages over the course of two months after breaking up. None of them were about getting back together but more about hoping he was doing okay. He responded and it was kept pretty simple.
I sent one last message saying that I really missed out friendship and hoped that one day in the future when we’re both healed and in good places in our lives, we could catch up and try being friends. He never responded. That was 7 months ago.
I’ve cried, journaled, healed, cried some more, ect. I have great things going on in my life. I’m developing better relationships with my friends and family and have amazing work opportunities on my horizons.
The breakup was 10 months ago and I can definitely say that I’m in a much better position than I was when it first happened. Time heals all wounds and even though it hasn’t been a year yet, it’s been long enough that I feel like I should be more over it than I am.
I’m not wanting to get back with my ex at all because I was genuinely hurt with the lack of consideration of my crumbling mental health due to moving somewhere I didn’t want to move to.
I guess where I’m getting at is even though I’m healing and getting to a good happy place in my life, a part of me wants some form of closure. I don’t know what. An apology? A response from that text I sent 7 months ago. It makes it hard to move on knowing he “might” reach out one day. How do you deal with that feeling? Again, first relationship so I don’t have any other forms of reference on how to get over someone. Just would love to know if you’ve dealt with something similar, how you got over it even while feeling like some closure would help tremendously.
TLDR : We’re broken up, I don’t want to get back together but feel like an apology or closure would help me move on. How do you/did you get over it??
This is my first post ever so thanks in advance:)

2024.05.15 07:23 IllustriousSlice9649 Questions and comments after initial purchase
So I just got a new Fancy sync box hdmi 2.0 after doing extensive research on different HDMI tv backlights and really liking what I saw, both from the feature standpoint and the customer service I had see in responses to Reddit questions and such, honestly great job for that.
I actually and buying this after testing and absolutely hating the Nanoleaf 4d because of its phasing colors and inaccurate colors, plus’s worries about glare and interactions with other lights I have in the tv area. I must honestly say I’m very impressed with how responsive and easy to set up these were as compared to the 4D’s.
My first question would be, is there a way to, or a plan to add the ability to color tune the colors of the lights? I am noticing that the colors seem slightly cooler and less vibrant as opposed to what I see on screen, most likely because TV is doing some color processing which the box wouldn’t receive. Maybe something as simple as a color temp/white balance slider and a saturation slider?
My second would be a bit of a mistake I made upon ordering. I found you all through your website and when I went to order. I decided to order through Amazon. I selected the HDMI 2.1 box and redirected to Amazon, but it took me to the HDMI 2.0 box listing, which I purchased thinking it was the 2.1 unit. Hoping maybe this can be fixed.
I’m very pleased with this product.
Thank you.

2024.05.15 07:21 jamariiiiiiii why does he want to get married so quickly?
hey.
i've been involved with this guy since Feb of this year and the relationship has mainly been through texting as we live quite a bit away. we have only met up in person once and that date went alright besides some red flags i'll get into. also, he also proposes us seeing each other, but then something always comes up.
we're honestly kind of looking for the same thing, a committed and exclusive relationship, but it seems like this guy is rushing things way too fast. he's already talking about us getting married; but i have noticed some red flags.
some of the red flags i've noticed:
-when we first met, i was just getting off of work at 3am. he called me drunk a few hours prior asking if he should come up and see me. i felt pressured so i said yes. i get off at 3am, get home around 5am, and had to buy a laptop later that day, so i felt like he completely took over my day and chances to get some rest.
-he lies. here are some things he's lied about:
-weird stares: when we first saw each other, he did this really weird stare. i know it's perfectly normal to take glimpses of your partner in adoration, but he was giving me this cold dead stare when i was facing away from him. i have mild anxiety and noticed the stare and nervously asked him about it. he said something to the effect of, "oh i'm not allowed to look at you?" left me speechless
-he offered to buy us some tea. we get to the counter to pay and for some reason he does not have any working payment cards and only $100 bills on him, so i had to cover. he offered to get me back, but i'm still waiting. this one was pretty egregious.
-i texted his ex asking what i should look out for. the ex basically said that he prays and hopes that he changed, but if not, to get the fuck away ASAP. i asked him to tell me more info, but he flat out refuses to saying that he does not want any part in this.
-last but not least, we have only been talking since February and have only met in person (completely on his terms) once and he wants to get married:
the thing is, what would the point of getting married be? once i ship out, i will be in basic training in Texas (we live in the Northeast) for 7.5 weeks. then after that, i'll have to go to technical school for my career field that will probably be a few more months in a place that's thousands of miles away.
the soonest i could be back where we live would probably be 5/6 months and it would only be for 12 days for the recruiters assistance program (if i do get that approved), after that i'm on to my first duty station and i have no idea where that will be.
so i'm curious. this person is looking to be a walking red flag, has no problems lying to me, creepy, controlling, etc. and he still wants to marry me when i've made it abundantly clear that i'm going to be away for quite a while. i asked him why he still wants to do this and he said something like, "I'm loyal, you'll have someone waiting for you when you get back".
does anyone have any idea why he still wants to get married? i really, really, REALLY, need help making sense of it all.
thank you so much.

- where he works. when i first asked he said the same company in one town, but when i asked again, he said the same company in a completely different town when i can SWEAR it was the first town.
- stuff coming up when we're supposed to meet. when i do want to see him, he always tells me that he's coming to visit me, etc. but then he goes ghost and says something came up like taking his mom to the doctor -- i check his Instagram and he's at the beach.
- i think he blocked me. i text him something and green bubbles show up... okay? so i text him on Instagram asking what happened and things magically go back to normal and he comes up with some bullshit like his phone got hacked. keep in mind, this is the only time this has happened.

the thing is, what would the point of getting married be? once i ship out, i will be in basic training in Texas (we live in the Northeast) for 7.5 weeks. then after that, i'll have to go to technical school for my career field that will probably be a few more months in a place that's thousands of miles away.

2024.05.15 07:21 joysingersids Enforcement and Surveillance Division (ESD)
Hello everyone
I've been attempting to find information on the Enforcement and Surveillance Division (ESD) for some time now; without any luck unfortunately, so I figured out I could ask here.
I have no other information on this agency other than it was under the National Maritime Fisheries Service, NOAA, Department of Commerce and its personnel had law enforcement powers. Years ago I did find a .pdf referencing a 1970s (1973, if I remember correctly) study from the ESD and that was the only source I have ever found acknowledging the existence of this agency. Unfortunately I didn't save it anywhere and now I cannot find the document anymore.
Does anyone know anything at all about the ESD? Any link to documents is certainly appreciated. Thank you

-i texted his ex asking what i should look out for. the ex basically said that he prays and hopes that he changed, but if not, to get the fuck away ASAP. i asked him to tell me more info, but he flat out refuses to saying that he does not want any part in this.
-last but not least, we have only been talking since February and have only met in person (completely on his terms) once and he wants to get married:
the thing is, what would the point of getting married be? once i ship out, i will be in basic training in Texas (we live in the Northeast) for 7.5 weeks. then after that, i'll have to go to technical school for my career field that will probably be a few more months in a place that's thousands of miles away.
the soonest i could be back where we live would probably be 5/6 months and it would only be for 12 days for the recruiters assistance program (if i do get that approved), after that i'm on to my first duty station and i have no idea where that will be.
so i'm curious. this person is looking to be a walking red flag, has no problems lying to me, creepy, controlling, etc. and he still wants to marry me when i've made it abundantly clear that i'm going to be away for quite a while. i asked him why he still wants to do this and he said something like, "I'm loyal, you'll have someone waiting for you when you get back".
does anyone have any idea why he still wants to get married? i really, really, REALLY, need help making sense of it all.
thank you so much.

i've been involved with this guy since Feb of this year and the relationship has mainly been through texting as we live quite a bit away. we have only met up in person once and that date went alright besides some red flags i'll get into. also, he also proposes us seeing each other, but then something always comes up.
we're honestly kind of looking for the same thing, a committed and exclusive relationship, but it seems like this guy is rushing things way too fast. he's already talking about us getting married; but i have noticed some red flags.
some of the red flags i've noticed:
-when we first met, i was just getting off of work at 3am. he called me drunk a few hours prior asking if he should come up and see me. i felt pressured so i said yes. i get off at 3am, get home around 5am, and had to buy a laptop later that day, so i felt like he completely took over my day and chances to get some rest.
-he lies. here are some things he's lied about:
- his racial/cultural background. he first told me he's Chilean and Italian, then when i meet him, he says he's "part Jewish". not a big deal, but okay
- where he works. when i first asked he said the same company in one town, but when i asked again, he said the same company in a completely different town when i can SWEAR it was the first town.
- stuff coming up when we're supposed to meet. when i do want to see him, he always tells me that he's coming to visit me, etc. but then he goes ghost and says something came up like taking his mom to the doctor -- i check his Instagram and he's at the beach.
- i think he blocked me. i text him something and green bubbles show up... okay? so i text him on Instagram asking what happened and things magically go back to normal and he comes up with some bullshit like his phone got hacked. keep in mind, this is the only time this has happened.
-weird stares: when we first saw each other, he did this really weird stare. i know it's perfectly normal to take glimpses of your partner in adoration, but he was giving me this cold dead stare when i was facing away from him. i have mild anxiety and noticed the stare and nervously asked him about it. he said something to the effect of, "oh i'm not allowed to look at you?" left me speechless

-i texted his ex asking what i should look out for. the ex basically said that he prays and hopes that he changed, but if not, to get the fuck away ASAP. i asked him to tell me more info, but he flat out refuses to saying that he does not want any part in this.
-last but not least, we have only been talking since February and have only met in person (completely on his terms) once and he wants to get married:
- he told me when people ask what i am to him, i am his, "future husband"
- i made some comment on his last name because i honestly like saying it, he asked me if i'd take it when we got married. (again, talking about marriage so soon)
the thing is, what would the point of getting married be? once i ship out, i will be in basic training in Texas (we live in the Northeast) for 7.5 weeks. then after that, i'll have to go to technical school for my career field that will probably be a few more months in a place that's thousands of miles away.

2024.05.15 07:18 Ok_Valuable_5109 Help needed!
 | Hey airsofters, I’ve been having this jamming problem in a bunch of different hops, buckings, mags, ect. I think I’ve correctly diagnosed the issue(as seen in attached pic in comments). I am almost 100% sure that the bbs are jamming Into the actual metal on the hop. This happens will all my different hopups. I think the issue is that my nozzle may be to low? I tryed bringing it up on one of my builds and that seems to have fixed it. Have you guys ever seen this? Do you have any tips. The video does a good job of showing what’s happening. Thanks for any input! submitted by Ok_Valuable_5109 to airsoft [link] [comments] |
2024.05.15 07:17 JustConfusedAlways Extremely confused about what to do next.
As the title says, I'm in the middle of making a big career decision, and the two options are somewhat really different from each other. I graduated recently and now working in a company as a software developer. I like coding, and so was planning to pursue masters, but looking at the job market, I don't know if it's a good option at the moment. At the same time, I have other hobbies that I'm passionate about and I really enjoy it.Whereas sometimes I feel I'm too dumb for the tech industry.I can code, but I don't know if it's something I would like to continue doing on a daily basis in the long term. Should I just leave everything and pursue my hobbies? Or stick to this and continue, and pursue masters? Could you suggest some ideas or viable options that I can have ? Or has anyone left their tech jobs to pursue their hobbies? Thanks in advance!

2024.05.15 07:15 live_christ13 Thank you Lord Jesus Christ
Peace be with you brothers and sisters. As Catholics we are discreet in our faith, often less charismatic than other denominations; however, as I hear my beautiful 5 year old son laughing this morning I want to shout from the roof tops that Christ is king. He died. Was ressurected and will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead. His kingdom will have no end.
When we first found out my wife was pregnant we were scared and joyous in equal measures. After our first trimester scans we were told that nuchal fold on his neck was 4.7mm. I had no idea what this was. The nurse was unempathic, likely a way of protecting herself from a tough job, but she shared that there was a high risk he may not be born or if he was he was at high risk of defects or abnormalities. When we returned home I comforted my wife as she grieved the news and when I was able to be alone I went in the bathroom alone to cry. I prayed to Jesus Christ for him to save my son, to give him life and I promised to do his work and to be a servant to those around me. I made other promises too that I will not share.
My son was born, healthy, beautiful and incredible in every way. This morning I am grateful. There is no logical reason that my son should be here or be here healthy. Our God is not logical. He is beyond what we can comprehend. Nothing in life now gets me down. Not work. Not challenges of relationships. Not struggle. Not because I am strong but because I am weak and I put my faith in him and him alone.
I love our God. I am so grateful. I want to shout hosanna from the rooftops. Thank you Lord.

2024.05.15 07:14 big-fat-kitty-cats BSPH Job Update - I’m employed!
BSPH Job Update - I’m employed! Thank yall!
I commented on the career advice thread almost a year ago. Since then I have graduated in December with my Bachelors in Public Health, moved cities again, revamped my resume, have done what feels like a million first round interviews and second round interviews, talked to a few of yall, scoured through LinkedIn, my state health department, etc… and I’d like to announce that I finally accepted a position as a Community Health Worker at a nonprofit clinic! I believe in pay transparency, so I’ll share that I’m making $22 hourly, which is enough for me to live splitting costs with my bf (and still relying on my dad for some things as well 😅).
I did not realize until coming to this subreddit my senior year that a BPSH is so looked down upon and a MPH is considered standard. I’m not going to lie i felt very discouraged, that I couldn’t use my degree but some of you gave me hope. Getting a MPH is still on my mind, If I can perhaps get significant financial aid as I already have ~$70k in federal and private loans just for my bachelors and I can’t justify putting on even more. I do have an interest along the epidemiology/biostats/data analysis route but I’ll see how I feel in a couple years! For now I’ll just dabble with YouTube and coursera

2024.05.15 07:11 Standard_Material335 Should I proceed with my interview with the EEOC? I have already submitted a complaint and the next step is an interview, which I plan to do in-person because there are no virtual interviews available in the next 4 months
I think I may have a case of disability discrimination and retaliation because my employer fired me shortly after I showed my supervisor a note stating that I re-aggravated my herniated back injury and the doctor "feels that I should limit my walking and bending for the next two weeks". The problem was I was still on probation and apparently was only on month 5 of 12. I was employed by a large government agency of more than 500 employees.
I have sent details of my case to numerous employment attorneys in my area and have gotten some responses, with one offering to represent me and sending me a retainer where they would earn 40% of the award amount, no retainer fee, and a section stating that if the agreement is terminated before a decision is made by either party for reasons listed such as not disclosing material facts, not agreeing to a settlement, I fail to pay fees and expenses, I make it unethical and difficult to continue representation, or other "Just Cause". I am also able to terminate it at any time for any reason, and if the agreement is terminated before a decision is reached, then I would be responsible for the work that the firm has put in and pay them for their hourly rates as well as all the fees associated.
I have done some research online and found out that sometimes these cases will take a long time, sometimes as long as 14 months, after viewing other lawyers' and firms' case results on their websites. I am afraid that they will drag this out and then I would be responsible for all the fees and hours they have put in and having a false sense of hope that my case can be successful. Are these types of cases usually decided in one court hearing? If so, maybe I can try it out and see if they can win for me after one court hearing, and if they don't they I can terminate the agreement and just pay them for trying one time.
Or am I looking at this the wrong way and the fact that I was offered such a great deal from a firm (no retainer fee, they will only get paid a percentage if they win or the agreement is terminated early) mean that my case is really strong?
I also asked them if I should go and do my interview with the EEOC because I have submitted a complaint and they explicitly told me not to do this. Is this because they don't want it to go to the EEOC where I can have a chance of mediation with my employer thereby resolving this case before they can take it on and potentially drag it out like I described above?
How many of you were able to resolve a simple case discrimination case like this without the help of a lawyer? When is a lawyer really even needed? Should I not follow their advice and go to my interview with the EEOC anyways? I also live in New York and have already submitted a complaint with the NYSDHR where I have received a letter back in the mail stating that I a case number and filed a charge already. They asked to send me a picture of the front page which has the case number to them, which I did.

I'm looking for an adventure job, like those found on coolworks.com, but I want to work Canada. since coolworks.com is based in the States, I'm wondering if there is a resource like that but for Canada where I can search for such jobs. Any info or help would be appreciated, thank you so much! :)

So I guess I’ll just throw this out there while my Laptop updates.
What are we doing? Like genuinely where are we headed as a society right now?
First of all I have no idea what this sub is or why I was invited. Maybe it’s an AI just gathering info from dumb humans like myself. I have no clue and I guess eventually it’s not going to matter.
We’re all just kind of scrolling our way to an early death. Especially where I live in the US. We just kind of push all the awful things happening in the world out of the way and ignore it so we can jerk off and eat chipotle. Which also is declining in quality like most things. All of this while AI is slowly taking over.
AI slowly takking jobs away from people. It’s giving us advice on how to lose weight. It’s making art and music. And something that really is getting to me is that recruiters are currently using it to filter through job applications.
Did you read that? Human beings are using Artificial Intelligence to sort through hard working American’s job applications to find candidates for interviews. Which of course now, interviews come in 4’s or 5’s.
It just blows my mind that not only do I have to have work experience but I also have to know how to fine tune a resume to get passed the vague filter of an AI who’s only getting smarter and smarter each day and will probably replace the recruiters themselves.
Idk, whatever just go play helldivers 2, a satire on the military industrial complex, and order some doordashed McDonalds so you don’t have to think about it. I just don’t feel good about the future at all. And I worry where this all ends up in the next 5-10 years.

2024.05.15 07:06 MelodicSignature6354 Feeling Stuck
I'm at a point in my life where I feel completely stuck and hopeless. I'm hoping that sharing my story here might give me some clarity or at least help me feel a little less alone.
I've been through two divorces, and both were marriages my parents arranged with my cousins at the age of 19 and then at 27. From the beginning, I wasn't happy in either marriage. It felt like I had no choice, and I went along with it to please my parents. But I ended up feeling miserable and trapped. Eventually, both marriages ended in divorce, which brought its own set of challenges and emotional turmoil. Did I do this to myself and let someone stomp on me smh.
Now, on top of dealing with the emotional fallout of two failed marriages, I'm struggling with my career in TECH. I don't even have one. I've been applying for jobs left and right, but in this job market, it feels nearly impossible to get my foot in the door. Every rejection letter chips away at my confidence a little more. ( I DID GRADUATE AND HAVE A BACHELORS IN PSYCH BUT NEVER REALLU USED IT)
I've been praying and doing dikher trying to find some hope or guidance, but I still feel lost. I see people around me moving forward with their lives—building careers, finding happiness, creating families and I can't help but feel like I'm falling further behind every day.
Has anyone else been through something similar? How did you get out of that dark place and find a way to move forward? Any advice or words of encouragement would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks for listening.
