2024.05.16 03:07 skibbity_bop_mm_dada My Boyfriend (20M) and I (23F) Have Been Thinking of Ending Our Long-Distance Relationship, Should I Keep Trying to Make Things Work?

My boyfriend (20M) and I (23F) have been dating long distance for nearly 2 years now, our anniversary is coming up soon and things have been very difficult recently between us.
I think it started about 2 months ago when he had been trying to convince me to move in with him and his family. I considered it for a while but I ultimately ended up choosing to stay with my family because I'm in college and need the stability that staying with my family offers, and staying with his family has significant challenges of its own. Then he tried to get me to come visit him, but I told him since he didn't have a car yet and we wouldn't be able to do anything on our own without his dad driving us that we should just wait a month or two and visit then. At that point, he said that he would not be moving in with me and my family (which was the original plan since the very beginning before he tried to get me to move in with him) because he didn't want to be around my family. I've told him about fights my family and I have had and he can't forgive them or at least move past it enough to move in anymore even though things are better with my family now than they ever were before. Since then, things haven't been the same.
We'll get into arguments all the time which will result in him threatening the relationship and me trying to piece things back together because it seems like all of this has come out of nowhere during the past two months. He will also be consistently rude to me and act like I'm an annoyance. I have always given him all the love and attention he could ever want, and previous issues he had with me in the beginning are no more now. I've given up on getting any love from him for the moment. But when he's rude to me, I do have to say something about it which is where the arguments are coming from. For example, I jokingly asked him if he liked being in a relationship with me as a way to tell him I wanted him to not do something (i.e. he asked if he should do something and I responded with "well, do you wanna be in a relationship with me?" I would give a specific example but I was so not serious about it, that I don't even remember what it was that he was asking about) and instead of asking for a clarification about my intentions with the statement he just said no. I waited for him to clarify, but he didn't. I ended the call and after a min or two asked him to clarify what he meant and to apologize. Apparently he said he was saying no to me "threatening the relationship", which I then clarified that I wasn't being serious and was just being sassy as a joke. But then he started talking about breaking up again which lead to me crying, trying to piece everything back together again. Things had been fine earlier that day.
Then when I start to accept it finally, he acts like he may have an "idea" that will save the relationship. Most recently he said he needs to lower me on his list of priorities. Which I don't understand because to me, it feels like he has already lowered me on his list of priorities. Apparently he values his recent part time retail job over me and for some reason he can't have both me and the job. He also will complain that he's tired and doesn't want to go to work but he'll accept when he's called in short notice to the point where he'll work all day. And then he'll claim that its me who's holding him back from doing other things he likes like doing yardwork or whatever else he wants to do. I want to be appreciated for my efforts and commitment and I've NEVER held him back from any of those things. I had been encouraging him to get his first job for over a YEAR before he got it. He also doesn't respect that I want him to have a car before I visit and still won't get the car that's been available to him for a while now through his grandpa. All he has to do is put himself on the insurance but he won't do it. He even let his learners permit expire so now he can't take a flight or even drive a car and there's even more steps for him to do at this point to get a car, better himself, and grow up. For the record, I am also not a nag. I haven't asked him to do ANYTHING other than just respect me as a human for 2 months.
When I ask him why he wants to break up its always a new reason and when I ask him to elaborate on the reason he says "I don't know". He doesn't know why he thinks we're not compatible anymore. He doesn't know why he wants to be single. He doesn't know what he learned from this relationship even though he claims that "maybe this was just a stepping stone for us to learn". He doesn't know anything but he still acts like he wants to go through with it.
I'm so tired of all of this, but it feels like such a waste to break up because this bad stuff hasn't been happening for very long. I feel like if he was more in touch with his emotions about moving in and visiting, he wouldn't be in this place mentally. Plus when we visit we're sooo happy together. We HAD been so happy together for the vast majority of the relationship up until around this time. But there's nothing I can do for him anymore to make him realize our relationship is worth saving. I've been holding onto the future of this relationship for SO long and have put a LOT into it, both emotionally and financially (long distance is expensive). I just don't want it to end because he can't deal with his emotions and can't treat me with respect just out of the blue. It doesn't make any sense to me and I'm having a really hard time accepting it. I worry he may end up regretting it down the line. I think that I'm a very good partner and have a lot of good qualities. I've improved myself a lot in this relationship too. I don't know why he'd want to be single instead. Literally everyone I've talked to has told me to break up with him. It's just so hard to divest my energy this quickly. I don't feel prepared. I don't think he's going to realize what he had until its gone for good. It's just so hard for me to give up on this. Please let me know what I should do about this terrible situation.
TLDR; My long-distance relationship of nearly 2 years hit a rough patch. Initially, our plan was for him to move in with me, then my boyfriend wanted me to move in, which I considered but backed out on for school and family reasons. Arguments and rudeness escalated. He's indecisive about breakup reasons. Despite advice from others, I'm struggling to accept a potential breakup. I've invested a lot emotionally and feel unprepared to end it.

2024.05.16 03:06 sandroaugos Curious about fan-made merch

Hello there. For a while I’ve been thinking about making t-shirts with football (soccer) players on them. I live in Denmark and am not sure about the laws here. But for example cultkits.com from the UK are a pretty big shop. They have super cool “bootleg” t-shirts with players on them, I’ve ordered from them several times, cool stuff. And of course they are far from the only site with items like this.
Do these sites really get permission from all these players?
I have a Martinez (Man United) “cult hero” shirt from cultkits. There is a picture of him on the shirt, where I noticed they removed one of the 3 Adidas stripes. Is this some sort of loophole? On their other shirts they remove club logos and kit manufacturers too, but still have the player name on.
Also if I wanted to start a shop, could I get away with making drawings/art styles of players and not directly use pictures?
Sorry for the long text and being all over the place. I am just curious about this, and if anyone can enlighten me a bit, I’d appreciate it.
TL;DR: thinking about selling fan-merch, and not sure where the lines are crossed.

2024.05.16 03:01 idlemachinations [Firefox] Comment links wrap to new line after first space

When I read comments containing links with spaces in the text, they wrap to the next line. For example, this comment looks like this.
I am using Firefox 125.0.3 and www.reddit.com. If I switch to Chrome, old.reddit.com, or new.reddit.com, then the link displays normally. I did not see any recent posts about links in Firefox.
If I Inspect the element and toggle the margin CSS value off, it corrects the issue. Unfortunately, that's as far as my CSS troubleshooting skill goes.
edit: Changed example link from new.reddit.com to www.reddit.com since that's the site I was seeing the issue on. Accidentally grabbed the last link I was testing with.

2024.05.16 02:45 hermit-throwaway My (M29) parents' divorce ruined me and everyone is worse off for it

I feel like when it comes to discussions about divorces involving children, 99% of the time people say it was better the divorce happened than if two people that didn't love each other stayed together for the sake of the kids. I want to share my story, because that was not my experience as the kid of divorced parents.
Almost two decades ago when I was 10 years old, my parents told my sister and I they were getting a divorce. They said they didn't get along anymore and we wouldn't all be living together anymore, but they would still be our mom and dad and we would live with each of them. I bawled my eyes out uncontrollably that night, completely shattered. In reality, my dad had spiraled down a 9-year-long addiction to opioid pills that meant he was high 24/7, lost his job, and was doing reckless things like drinking and driving, even with me in the car. Not to mention the impact it had on everyday life, vacations, finances etc. It drove my mom to her breaking point where she wanted a divorce, but first helped him get sober with staging an intervention and then getting him into rehab and NA.
Gradually my dad moved out to an apartment nearby, our house was sold and my mom bought a smaller one a town over, my sister and I would go back and forth between staying with each parent each week, and they both started dating. About a year after the divorce, my dad started seeing a woman of a far trashier, immature nature compared to my mom. He moved her in after a month, and long story short, my dad was heavily dedicated to her and changing from her influence, becoming a juvenile 40-something man unrecognizable to me. All while he had two young adolescent kids to raise who just had their world's shattered. My sister and I felt like afterthoughts, and I blame my dad for that as well as my now-stepmom for fully seeing the situation she was walking into, the impact it had on my sister and I, and still diving head-first into it. She quit her job as a nurse pretty early on to be a stay-at-home wife, even though my dad was making just OK money.
As for my mom, she lost her job shortly after the divorce due to insubordination, and then never held a job of the same seniority/salary/importance ever again. She spent the remainder of my childhood staying at home raising my sister and I, who eventually moved in with her full time to get away from being around my stepmom until we went to college. She had a few smaller jobs she'd last a few months at, but that's essentially been her career ever since but with a steady decline. She was a vice president of a Fortune 500 company, and now she's on the phone in a call center making a little more than minimum wage.
She dated a little too, but never got as serious with anyone as my dad did. Part of it may have been that she just couldn't catch the kind of guy she was looking for, but part of it may have been seeing the impact one stepparent was having on my sister and I. I'm sorry she's still alone and may be alone the rest of her life. But I'm also glad we had her full attention and care when we were growing up, because I was thinking about ending my life every day of those years, and the addition of another new strange adult living with me and having nowhere for me to escape to probably would have put me over the edge. I did attempt in college several times, but had a moment of reckoning and decided to see life through.
Part of the reason for her overall decline too has been her descent into alcoholism, starting a couple of years before the divorce but the scope of it not fully visible at the time. From when I was 12 onwards, she's gone through cycles of sobering up, working AA, gradually checking out of AA, functionally relapsing, descending into disfunction/rock bottom and repeat every 18 months or so. Her latest period as a full-blown alcoholic was her worst, and she was more of a mess than my dad ever was. He's relapsed twice over the years, but to his credit, they were relatively brief periods of relapse and he's seriously worked the 12-step program to maintain sobriety otherwise. He now owns a home near where I grew up.
In summary: I absolutely recognize what my mom went through for 9 years with my dad's drug addiction and I can imagine the stress it put her through, the impact it had in shaping those years of her life, and how out of love she must have felt after so many incidents with my dad being high. That said, I've always felt a massive hole in my chest every day of these last 19 years, and hindsight has only further made me feel like the divorce was a mistake. I can't put myself in my mom's shoes, but I wish she had given my dad a last chance once he was sober. He's a better man sober. I can't help dreaming of "What if's" even when it only hurts to imagine. If my parents stayed together, maybe we would have still had our big, beautiful house; maybe my mom's alcoholism wouldn't have been so out of hand with my dad to support her own sobriety; maybe my mom wouldn't be living in a sober house 200 miles away right now with barely a dollar to her name; maybe my dad would have a repaired relationship with his kids instead of barely seeing one and never hearing from the other; maybe I would actually want to have a family of my own instead of worrying there's a chance I really ruin my kids in some way too; maybe I would be able to hold down a relationship of my own without getting anxiety about the future if I had an example of a united family to look up to or even parents that could give me useful relationship advice; maybe my chronic depression wouldn't have started so early or at all so that I'd never eat myself to morbid obesity. Or maybe not.
Look, yeah, we can never know one way or the other for sure. But if they knew then where their lives, my life, and my sister's life would end up, I think they would have found a way to make it work.
I don't think I'll ever fully be ok with everything that happened or how it's shaped me. I wish I could be, and I wish I could move past all of it, but this was all some destructive shit.
TL;DR - I'm sharing this as a counter to the popular idea that divorce is always better, especially for the kids when there's kids involved. My unbeknownst-alcoholic mom divorced my long term opioid pill-addicted dad when I was 10, my mom helped my dad sober up during the divorce. My dad quickly started seeing a trashy woman that he moved in with him and invested most of his time, love, and attention into, and he eventually bought a house for them. My mom lost her job, essentially never held another serious full-time job again, descended deep into alcoholism with a dozen relapses and sobering-ups over the years, is flat broke and never found another partner. It's almost two decades later and I'm a 29-year-old man, and the effects of the divorce left a lasting trauma on me that a life of therapy hasn't and won't fix. It's also influenced my aversion to ever having a family of my own, my struggles to have a serious long-term relationship with someone, and overall plays a roll in my chronic depression.

2024.05.16 02:43 Traditional_Desk_725 Did raid report break this past weekend?

Hey, this is a random one but I wanted to come here and ask out of curiosity..
Did anyone else have full raid clears just go completely untracked on raid report this weekend just passed? A friend and I finally did our Duo RoN clear, only to have the vibes spoiled by raid report never updating. We then did 2 deepstones and a last wish, all having not appeared on raid report.
This was on Saturday/Sunday, it is now Thursday as of the time writing this. Obviously in the grand scheme this is meaningless and I’m sure the majority of players don’t care for or check raid report, but I’m just wondering if this blip was just for my friend group or for the wider community, as with the release of Rhulk’s pantheon raids have began tracking again or so it seems.
Duo RoN is doable again and luckily it wasn’t something hard like a duo or trio flaw of a raid, but still sucks after trying for a while to get a good run in.
Just wondering if this happened to anyone else or if anyone has info on what happened if it is an issue :D
(I should also add, the clears were tracked on in game emblems too. Just not on the site, for example.. on RR I have 14 RoN clears and in game it’s 15)

2024.05.16 02:40 amboyurbex New to dating after 17 years... I feel like I'm pulling teeth. Am I doing this right?

I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone. I just want to have a relationship. I'm newly divorced after 17 years with my ex. The last time I dated, almost none of these dating sites existed and certainly not the smart phone.
This girl, and nearly every girl I match with makes me feel like I'm playing 20 questions. It's gotta be me. I know I'm socially awkward but maybe I'm better in person or maybe it's something else.
I've made 31 matches on Tinder and nearly half never replied. Half of those did reply then stopped responding. A couple conversations are going alright but they are more into friendship, which is fine.
Considering how awful my ex wife turned out to be, I really regret every girl that ever made a pass at me and I stayed faithful to her. I feel like an asshole for saying that but I'm just distraught.

2024.05.16 02:40 KennethPereira 34 [M4F] Massachusetts / Rhode Island / US - I Made My Own Dating Site

Hi, I'm a 34 year-old nerdy guy living in New England. And yes, I made a dating site for myself.
I enjoy conventions, video games, cosplaying, etc. Outside of my cosplay I have a great taste in fashion. I also like to work out to keep in shape and stay healthy. In my spare time I fill out sweepstakes and enter raffles (that I often win!).
I am looking for a woman who I can travel, cosplay, geek out with and eventually share a life with. But for now a coffee, if local, would be great.
Learn more about me at my website! Since I can’t post it on this R4R, it’s on my profile.

2024.05.16 02:39 Bearishly_Bullish The Case to Short Gamestop

Question any GME investor needs to ask themselves:
Do you want to guarantee making money or are you ok maybe making or losing money but being a part of the community and the joint action?
Everyone knows the fundamentals do not support the current stock price ($36). Just like the last GME rally, the price will return to "normal". The buying will not continue forever. Even if everyone HODLs, new buyers are still needed to drive the price higher.
Back to how to guarantee profit from this GME rally. I don't know exactly how long the buying, holding, and trusting the people of Reddit not to sell will last...but I do know it will end. To capitalize on this I purchased put options with strike dates of 5/24, 5/31, 6/7, and 6/14. I also shorted at around $52-$53.
Although it appears altruistic to HODL, in the end the company and hedge funds ultimately benefit. For example, AMC is using the increase in price to exercise a Stock Offering which dilutes existing shareholder ownership and drives the stock price down. But go ahead and HODL just like they want: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.barrons.com/amp/articles/gamestop-amc-meme-stock-today-e4a91124

2024.05.16 02:30 Independent-Road8418 I beat an IM and then he blocked me 😂

I beat an IM and then he blocked me 😂
Admittedly, this was not the best game either of us has played but it's still nice to beat an IM.
That being said, I didn't send a single message to this guy. After the game he DMed me saying "lol" then blocked me.
Believe me, there have been significantly worse dm's that I've had (unsolicited) after a game. People have called me names, cursed at me, talked about my mother, and called me a cheater.
Personally, I don't actually take offense to these people and most of the time I don't give them a second's thought.
That said, occasionally I try to give them the best advice about sportsmanship that was ever given to me because these kinds of attitudes are part of what kept chess from growing for so long before the chess boom and the last thing I want is for the chess community to be slowly ground into what it was before.
So without any further ado, here's the golden rule of edicate I try to follow in any competitive setting that I learned from my experience in chess.
"Whether you win or lose, act like it's happened before and it will happen again; because it will."
Also here's the game 😊

2024.05.16 02:30 ThrowRA546565 AITAH for telling my GF that I would choose my siblings over her?

My (24F) mother passed away six years ago when I was 18. She left my father (53M) a widower and my two younger siblings, my brother Jason (11M) and sister Rachel (14F), motherless. Since they were both still young kids when she passed, I had to step up. I stayed at home and went to college at a commuter school so I could be there for them, and also admittedly to save money. This was one hundred percent my choice. Since then, I've pretty much taken on a mother role in their lives. I go to their school plays, and in the case of my sister, her soccer and basketball games. I take them to appointments, movies, etc. My father works like 60-80 hour weeks as a manager at a construction company, and he does what I do when he can. But since he is constantly working, it mostly falls on me. I'm fine with this; I love my siblings to death, and since I've helped raise them, I kind of consider them to be my kids.
My devotion to my siblings has caused relationship problems before. I've been told dating me is like dating a single mom. I've made it clear to any people I'm considering dating long term that my siblings will always be important to me. For example, I've said that I would be willing to move no more than a thirty-minute drive from my hometown. My refusal to move was the reason my last long-term relationship ended with a guy I was dating. Soon after that, I began dating my current girlfriend, Teresa (22F). We get along great. She is child-free, which is fine with me. She doesn't mind my siblings, though she has mentioned a couple of times that she thinks my devotion to them is a little odd.
Recently, my father had a health scare; he thought he was having a heart attack when really it was just heartburn. This led to a discussion between me and my girlfriend on what I would do if my father did pass away. He is 54 years old, and also heart disease runs in our family. My paternal grandfather died at 48 from a heart attack. So the chances of him dying aren't zero, especially with how stressful his job is. She asked me what I would do if he died. I said I would take my siblings in. She asked me even if she didn't want me to. And I said yes. She then said, “So you would choose them over me?” I tried to say that I wouldn't expect her to help me raise them, and she was free to leave me, no hard feelings if that happened, but I could tell she was mad. She then started saying she didn't like how I was constantly going to do stuff with my siblings like going to their games or taking them to the movies. I said that she was welcome to join me, and besides, I still manage to find time for us to go on at least one date every week. And we usually spend every Sunday together too. I pointed out that she also goes partying and clubbing with her friends pretty frequently , and I never tried to stop her. She was pretty mad and left our apartment to spend the night at her mom's. I don't think I did anything wrong. I was upfront with my GF and all the other people I dated that my siblings would always be important. So AITAH?

2024.05.16 02:26 SweatyYeti2020 I (27M) might end my relationship with my gf (27F) because I feel under appreciated, but wonder if I’m being unreasonable?

I want to establish that we both care about each other a great deal. We dated for a while about two years back, broke up, and then got together again about 6 months ago despite being a two hour flight apart. We visit each other pretty frequently (at least once a month) and both thoroughly enjoy spending that time together. She is very caring and sweet, and she reminds me that she loves me (and has done so more frequently over time).
However, the lingering issue in our relationship is that I sometimes feel disappointed by the perceived lack of care or effort on her part, while she feels like she’ll never be good enough to ever make me fully happy.
While I admit to losing patience and sometimes criticizing her, both of which I have made efforts to be better about, I would say that neither is unwarranted (albeit the wrong response). Here are some issues that stick to me where I’ve felt undervalued or underappreciated. She didn’t get me anything for Valentine’s Day even though I flew out specifically to be together on that day, and we had already talked about how I’d love to receive gifts or be shown she cares, especially on special occasions (for the record, I got her a gift and flew with a bouquet of flowers). Even though she knows I am very allergic to cats (of which she has two), she didn’t exhaust all allergy reducing options (for example, she cleaned her rooms and changed the bedsheets, but didn’t replace the AC filter with an allergy scale one or brush her cats to reduce their shedding) until I was reacting severely to the allergens and got upset over feeling like she wasn’t making her space as welcome to me as possible (meanwhile, I’d make my house spotless and bought her favorites drinks and snacks before her visits, and even bought a dog bed for her dog without her ever having to ask about it). Recently, I flew out after not seeing her for over a month, and while I expected a warm welcome, she had me pay for our dinner and then when we went to a bar for trivia, told me if I wanted to drink that I should get them myself (she was on antibiotics and couldn’t drink). For her, one part is that she was on the tail end of being sick, and also was planning to take me to a sushi restaurant that weekend which is why she felt fine having me cover dinner. But to me, it felt like I showed up just to fend for myself and she had made no effort to give me the warm welcome that I’ve made the effort to give her whenever she visits.
I could go on, but in short, I feel like I am very proactive about meeting her needs and taking care of her and doing things that bring her joy, whereas I feel like she (to her credit) makes efforts but they sometimes fall short. It’s not that she doesn’t care, I feel like… she thinks she’s doing enough and doesn’t feel the need do more? Or maybe the disappointment is because my standards are too high and I’m not being understanding? I almost feel like if I want something, anything, I have to explicitly ask her, or it won’t occur to her. And I understand one perspective of this is “well if you don’t say it, how can they know?”, but on the other hand she (for example) doesn’t have to ask me to buy her Ginger Ale, I know she loves it so I have it stocked before she arrives because I know she’ll appreciate it and she doesn’t need to ask me.
Am I being unreasonable to feel this way? Am I putting too much importance on individual events when I should look more big picture at all the ways she is consistently there for me? I also feel like anytime I complain about feeling this way, it further drives a wedge between us because she feels like she’ll never be enough and I’ll leave her at any moment. Should we just let things go?

How to Find the Perfect Mobile Home Land for Sale
How to Find the Perfect Mobile Home Land for Sale
Mobile dwellings have gained increasing favor as a cost-effective living alternative in recent years. They provide an economical solution for individuals seeking to possess their own dwelling while circumventing the high expenses related to conventional stick-built homes. If you're in the market for a mobile home, locating the ideal territory to position it on is a pivotal step in the process. In this article, we will examine how to locate the perfect mobile home territory for sale.Location is KeyWhen it comes to real estate, the location holds paramount importance. This holds true for mobile home territory as well. The initial step in finding the ideal mobile home territory for purchase is determining the location that best fits your requirements. Assessing factors such as proximity to work, educational institutions, and conveniences, as well as the general environment and community, is essential.If you're intending to purchase land in a rural area, ensure to research local zoning laws and regulations. Certain areas may impose limitations on where mobile homes can be sited, making it vital to conduct thorough research before making any decisions. Also, consider the accessibility of the territory, in addition to the availability of utilities such as water, electricity, and sewage.Budget and Economic FeasibilityAnother pivotal aspect to consider when searching for mobile home territory for sale is your budget and economic feasibility. Prior to commencing your search, establish a realistic amount that you can afford to invest in the territory. This will aid in narrowing down your options and prevent you from becoming enamored with a parcel that ultimately exceeds your financial reach.In addition to the purchase price of the territory, it's equally crucial to factor in other expenses such as property taxes, insurance, and any supplementary fees associated with the land. It is important to bear in mind that the expenditure of preparing the land for a mobile home, such as leveling, installing utilities, and constructing a foundation, should also be considered when budgeting for your acquisition.Territory Size and TerrainThe size and terrain of the land are also critical considerations when seeking the perfect mobile home territory for purchase. Evaluate how much space you will require for your mobile home, as well as any additional amenities such as a garden, garage, or auxiliary structures.Consider the natural characteristics of the land, including its incline, drainage, and any potential risks such as flooding or soil unsteadiness. It's crucial to ensure that the land is suitable for siting a mobile home and that any needed preparations can be undertaken to accommodate your residential needs.Local Rules and LimitationsPrior to investing in mobile home territory for sale, it's imperative to comprehend the local regulations and limitations that may impact your ability to position a mobile home on the property. Certain regions may enforce specific zoning laws that dictate where mobile homes can be sited, alongside any limitations on the age or size of the residence.Furthermore, it's vital to research any homeowner's associations or community regulations that may impose restrictions regarding mobile homes. Familiarizing yourself with these limitations in advance can prevent potential issues or surprises in the future.Utilities and InfrastructureWhen scouting for the perfect mobile home territory for sale, it's indispensable to contemplate the availability of utilities and infrastructure. Before finalizing a purchase, investigate the accessibility of water, electricity, and sewage connections, as well as the expenses associated with connecting these services to the property.If the land doesn't already have utilities in place, factor in the cost and arrangements required for installing these services before making a decision. It's also crucial to assess the condition of the existing infrastructure, such as roads and driveways, to ensure that the land is accessible and practical for your needs.Environmental ConsiderationsEvaluating the environmental aspects of the land is another crucial stage in the search for mobile home territory for sale. Deliberate on potential hazards such as flooding, erosion, and soil pollution, in addition to the overall environmental well-being of the area.Likewise, it's important to be mindful of any environmental conservation or preservation laws that may affect your ability to develop the land. This could encompass restrictions on constructing near wetlands, protected wildlife habitats, or other environmentally sensitive zones.Collaborating with a Real Estate AgentAn esteemed real estate agent specializing in mobile home territory can be an invaluable asset in your quest for the ideal property. A knowledgeable agent can assist you in navigating the local market, identifying potential land prospects, and providing valuable guidance throughout the purchasing process.When selecting a realtor, prioritize someone with expertise in mobile home land sales and a thorough understanding of local regulations and zoning laws. Look for an individual who is proactive in identifying potential properties, possesses a solid reputation, and is responsive to your requirements and apprehensions.Finding a LenderIf you necessitate financing for the acquisition of mobile home territory, it's crucial to identify a lender who specializes in this category of real estate transaction. Mobile home land loans can differ from traditional mortgages, thus engaging a lender experienced in this type of financing can streamline the process significantly.Prior to finalizing a loan agreement, ensure that you comprehend the conditions, interest rates, and any additional charges associated with the loan. Assess multiple lenders to ascertain the most fitting financing options for your specific prerequisites.Inspecting the TerritoryPrior to concluding the purchase of mobile home territory for sale, conducting a comprehensive inspection of the property is crucial. This encompasses surveys to determine property boundaries, soil evaluations to ensure stability, and environmental appraisals to identify any potential hazards or risks.A professional inspection will facilitate the identification of any potential issues with the land and provide you with a lucid understanding of your purchase. If any issues are detected, you may have the opportunity to negotiate with the seller or reconsider your decision before finalizing the acquisition.Making an OfferOnce you have located the perfect mobile home territory for sale, it's time to formulate an offer. This marks the juncture in the process where you will collaborate with your real estate agent to negotiate the terms of the offer, including the purchase price, closing date, and any supplementary conditions.If the seller accepts your offer, you will proceed with the purchasing process, which encompasses finalizing the financing, conducting any additional inspections or assessments, and completing the essential paperwork to transfer ownership of the land.Closing the DealClosing on the purchase of mobile home territory for sale entails finalizing the purchase agreement, transferring funds, and completing any requisite legal and administrative tasks to officially transfer ownership of the land. This process usually involves collaborating with a real estate attorney to ensure that all legal obligations are fulfilled and that the transaction is executed in accordance with local laws and regulations.Upon the completion of the closing process, you will officially become the proprietor of the perfect mobile home territory for sale. Subsequently, you can initiate the process of developing the land to accommodate your mobile home and relish the advantages of homeownership in your personal piece of property.In conclusion, locating the perfect mobile home territory for sale involves conscientious contemplation of location, budget, territory size and terrain, local regulations and limitations, utilities and infrastructure, environmental considerations, and collaborating with reputable real estate professionals. By following these steps and undertaking comprehensive research and due diligence, you can identify the ideal parcel of land to position your mobile home and savor the benefits of cost-effective homeownership.

2024.05.16 02:24 Beautiful_Extreme763 Parents (59 M&F) make comments about my (20F) relationship?

I (20F) have been dating my bf (24M) for about 7 months now. I’ve been home from college for the summer for 4 days. Since I’ve been back both of my parents keep making comments that are extremely annoying. I was on a walk with my dad and he was saying that I’m wasting the younger years I have dating him and he’s distracting me. That I’m young and shouldn’t worry about dating right now. My mom makes rude comments that imply i’m mean to my bf when i’m not at all. She’ll say “i bet you start most of the fights between you two” for example.
They also have it in their heads that my bf is the only person I ever spend time with. My mom will say that I turned into one of the girls who only spend time with their boyfriends. My college roommate recently got a studio apartment and my parents said “I bet the reason she got her own place was because you’re never around”. The things they’re saying are ridiculous and I’ve stopped bringing up my bf to them to avoid things like this.
I have never been a very social person and I socialize with my friends a very normal amount. I do spend a lot of time with my bf but it doesn’t take anyway from any other aspect of my life. I still get good grades, I managed to get a good job that’ll look great on my resume. I’m not sure why or where my parents got the idea that I’m with my boyfriend all the time.
My boyfriend and I get along really well and I do enjoy spending time with him often. I don’t think that’s a bad thing, I get all my responsibilities done and make time for my friends. My parents have met him before and they both think he’s really nice. I am the youngest of 4 daughters so maybe being the baby of my family makes it harder?
I’m not sure how to deal with this. Any advice on how to deal with this or why they’re being like this?

2024.05.16 02:22 Solidus35 Was it worth it to go on PEP

Long story short, I'm a male, a little more than 3 weeks ago I had sex for the first time in a while and it was a casual hookup with a woman I didn't know before matching on the dating app. She gave me the vibes that she likes having casual sex with strangers, as I was an example of. The condom slipped out during vaginal sex at one point and I think it was maybe 30 seconds or so before I had realized it.
Now, she wasn't a sex worker (as far as I know) and this all happened in her nice condo, and I didn't get the vibes she's into hard drugs but she was smoking marijuana during our time together. Being an anxious person, the following day I hurriedly went to get PEP (Biktarvy) and started the first dose within the first 20 hours after sex, this to prevent HIV. I've already tested negative for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea and have more STD testing scheduled for in a couple of weeks.
I have 6 doses left to take of the Biktarvy and other than very mild stomach ache here and there (particularly in the first few days) and some harder stools (but not too bad compared to my usual soft ones) I think I haven't felt much other side effects, up until yesterday that is where I noticed back pain and started worrying about my Kidneys, which is something one could rightfully worry about apparently since these types of meds can apparently be bad on organs.
I believe I haven't noticed any STD symptoms in the 3 weeks since the sex. Now, since I'm so anxious and maybe even a hypochondriac, I don't think I can mentally handle having casual sex like this again. Can't handle the worry. I went on the PEP because after a Google search and seeing some Reddit results I found lots of posts of people asking if they should take PEP after a one night stand and consistently responses were ridiculing the various different OPs about even asking the question, the argument consistently being that the question is stupid as it would do little to no harm to take the PEP for 28 days, especially when the worst alternative could be to get HIV and have to take the meds for years. I got similar responses in the clinic I went to. I didn't get the bad attitude but I did get the feeling transmitted to me that it wasn't such a big deal to take PEP for 28 days. Agreeing to take this was a big decision for me as I've had nearly deadly reactions to other prescription drugs before and am very wary about what I put inside my body.
But yesterday, after feeling the back pain I googled again and started finding a lot of posts talking about the potential of Kidney and Liver damage when taking PEP and now I'm feeling like I rushed into something unnecessary.
Only 6 more doses yet, Ill finish the regiment at this point (it's a 28 day regiment).
Is it justified that I went for the option of taking it? Ugh... I hope I don't suffer long term organ damage because of something I very likely didn't need.

And I need to calculate the iterative IRR for each fund at each date. The problem is the following: the XIRR formula accept the two arguments: Dates and Values.

I went on the PEP because after a Google search and seeing some Reddit results I found lots of posts of people asking if they should take PEP after a one night stand and consistently responses were ridiculing the various different OPs about even asking the question, the argument consistently being that the question is stupid as it would do little to no harm to take the PEP for 28 days, especially when the worst alternative could be to get HIV and have to take the meds for years. I got similar responses in the clinic I went to. I didn't get the bad attitude but I did get the feeling transmitted to me that it wasn't such a big deal to take PEP for 28 days. Agreeing to take this was a big decision for me as I've had nearly deadly reactions to other prescription drugs before and am very wary about what I put inside my body.
But yesterday, after feeling the back pain I googled again and started finding a lot of posts talking about the potential of Kidney and Liver damage when taking PEP and now I'm feeling like I rushed into something unnecessary.
Only 6 more doses yet, Ill finish the regiment at this point (it's a 28 day regiment).
Is it justified that I went for the option of taking it? Ugh... I hope I don't suffer long term organ damage because of something I very likely didn't need.

Long story short, I'm a male, a little more than 3 weeks ago I had sex for the first time in a while and it was a casual hookup with a woman I didn't know before matching on the dating app. She gave me the vibes that she likes having casual sex with strangers, as I was an example of. The condom slipped out during vaginal sex at one point and I think it was maybe 30 seconds or so before I had realized it.
Now, she wasn't a sex worker (as far as I know) and this all happened in her nice condo, and I didn't get the vibes she's into hard drugs but she was smoking marijuana during our time together. Being an anxious person, the following day I hurriedly went to get PEP (Biktarvy) and started the first dose within the first 20 hours after sex, this to prevent HIV. I've already tested negative for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea and have more STD testing scheduled for in a couple of weeks.
I have 6 doses left to take of the Biktarvy and other than very mild stomach ache here and there (particularly in the first few days) and some harder stools (but not too bad compared to my usual soft ones) I think I haven't felt much other side effects, up until yesterday that is where I noticed back pain and started worrying about my Kidneys, which is something one could rightfully worry about apparently since these types of meds can apparently be bad on organs.
