2024.05.16 20:13 MarcusPlatoTagore Notice to Nanny - timeline?
Our daughter, 19 months, will be starting Montessori in September after spending the past year and a half with two separate nannies. Our first nanny was absolutely amazing, but she had a family emergency that made her move away.
Our second nanny, who was a friend of our first nanny, have been working together since last Sept and has been mediocre at best. We have to repeat several important but basic items to her every few weeks -- lock the front door, put away the stroller at the end of the day, wash our daughter's hands before each meal, clean her bath toys, etc... Nothing extraordinary that a nanny wouldn't do. My wife even prepares meals for our daughter, and our nanny has to warm up the food to serve it to our daughter. She's a part-time student and only a nanny to pay her way through school, so it seems her heart isn't fully in it.
We're fed up with it. While she's nice enough and doesn't put our daughter at risk, we felt introducing our daughter to other kids her age in a setting we'd prefer would be better for her growth and more economical for us.
Anyway, contractually we owe her a 4-week notice to break ties and move on. We're hesitant about giving her four weeks with our daughter once she knows we're moving on, so we are considering telling her the last day (or week) and just paying her the remaining balance of the time we owe to give her proper notice. If she's already 'ok' at best, we're anxious that she may perform even worse those last four weeks and might be busy trying to find another family or not care for our child. We both work in offices, so we couldn't stay at home all month to ensure our daughter's care hasn't degraded. I've also heard that we should give some transition time for our daughter to part ways -- but she'll be 23 months at that time, and I don't know if she'll really remember at that age?
What are your thoughts? Are we paranoid? I think the nanny would be happy to get a month off and also get paid for it, or find another family and still get paid by us —and it will ease our mind knowing our daughter's care won't be degraded. But I can also understand the need for a proper transition and 'closure'. However, our daughter's care obviously takes priority. I'd love to hear the communities experience on this. Thank you!

2024.05.16 20:13 matrixunplugged1 CS bachelors through Coursera worth it?
Hello,
I have been working as a data analyst for the past 3 years (using mainly SQL, Excel and Tableau), have done other non tech roles before that mainly in startups. Over time I have realised that my initial bachelors in economics, although from a top UK uni is good enough to get me interviews for analyst roles, my lack of a solid grounding in CS fundamentals will limit me if I want to get into a data engineering/data science/ML Ops/ML etc. I have also looked into Georgia Tech OMSCS but apparently it's very hard and even experienced engineers struggle to finish it, let alone a non tech person like myself.
I have done the research and I think I will do a second bachelors in CS alongside my job. I found one on Coursera. The only issue is it's from an Indian Uni although it's very well respected for engineering and very hard to get into for offline students (there's another one from the uni of London but their admin support is apparently really bad and it's 6 times the cost so not pursuing that). Now initially I thought nothing of it, but the general perception of Indian software engineers online seems to be terrible (due to outsourcing, the best ones leave the country and the outsourced work goes to the ones who couldn't go make it so to say), and this also gives Indian degrees a bad rep apparently from what I have heard online.
Now I am doing this for the CS knowledge but if I will be putting in so much effort for the next 3 years doing it full time alongside my job, then I want the degree to mean something too to potential employers, at the very least it should not subtract from my CV, so I wanted to ask whether this is a genuine concern, will having a second Indian bachelors in a Western job market be a bad thing for my profile or am I just being stupid? Thanks!

2024.05.16 20:12 Awesome_One1 Giving Empire A Shot
So as many of you might know, a couple of years, I started a playthrough of Pokemon Empire. I really did love the game but I'm not the best when it comes to set style. Which is what led me to discontinuing it. After really thinking about it, I have decided I'm going to attempt to do another playthrough of it. I think last time I touched the game, it was in the very early stages. With Episode 11 out now (Not finished btw), I think it's time to give it a fair chance. It might be a rocky challenge but damnit. I know the story is gonna be great, I wanna see all that happens & I want you all to experience it with me. I'm not sure when I'm gonna start uploading episodes of it but I'm confident it'll be this year. Heck. I might put up 1 episode a week alongside my Pokemon Rejuvenation Bug Mono which is almost done... kind of... sort of? And to give a little update about my other projects I plan on starting, there will be a Pokemon Rejuvenation Renegade playthrough (from start to finish) & a new start with Ashen Frost. This is gonna be awesome!

2024.05.16 20:12 FanRose [Clan Boss] Are there any third party extensions to view CB damage/stats without the Game's UI?
The question is confusing but basically, I wish there was a way to view the CB damage chart without just the victory screen. I often move too fast and click away, common mistake, but it would be helpful to know if there was a way to check stats some time after without using another key and/or to check a really really good run.

2024.05.16 20:12 Icy-Limit7439 AITAH for wanting to cut out my best friend due to his new ‘best friend’
Sorry for the length but there’s a lot of background to this one. We have been friends since high school. Always maintained the same type of friendship even though he moved away for school and has not moved back ‘home’ since. Everything has always been great between us and our long distance friendship. Until one yr I went to visit him and his girlfriend of 10 yrs. I showed up and was told his other best friend was coming as well when he arrived home from work the next day. I didn’t think much of this because I had met multiple friends of his and never had an issue. The next morning his gf went to work. I hung out at their apartment waiting on his arrival. When he showed up, his work ‘friend’ was with him, wearing part of his uniform flirting with him while walking into his apartment that he shared with his long term girlfriend. He’s always had an overly friendly and welcoming personality so I tried to not think much of it. As the weekend went on I saw how she demanded his attention and if she wasn’t getting it, all of a sudden had ‘health issues’ and he would stay be her asking what he could do trying to comfort her halting any further activities. If he was with his gf, and I was the only one to to talk to (for example they went inside a grocery store or bed together) she would sit there and complain about how they were always fighting and how annoying and tiring it was. I was utterly confused and I would ask what fight? You mean them conversating about plans?! I thought she was insane and I couldn’t fathom how he didn’t see it and allowed her to behave this way. The weekend ended, we all went our separate ways. Just for me to come back 9 months later to find out, she moved from the top of the US, to the bottom, to be in the same city as him. On this trip, the same behaviors continued. My friend allowed it. Even with it being a weekend to celebrate HIS GIRLFRIENDS BIRTHDAY, he managed to prioritize his ‘friend’. I was appalled and shocked. I didn’t recognize him as my best friend anymore. He’s always been goofy and welcoming and was always able to manage friendships and people being around without prioritizing one person. His gf and him always made sure to be inclusive and never make anyone feel like the third wheel, yet when this ‘friend’ was around, it was uncomfortable for anyone who knew him before her. On this trip she confronted me, stating that she gets the feeling that I don’t like her. I laughed and said well yeah, that’s because I don’t. I continued to explain that everyone compares her to me as ‘his best friend’ which I felt insulted by because I was his best friend. If he’s happy, I’m happy. I love and adore his gf. I had always supported his relationship. Because he chose it and continues to choose it and they had been building a life together. I was happy with his success in his career and him living a life that he genuinely enjoyed. But she seemed to not support his relationship and from my perspective, seemed to be planting issues and negative thoughts of his relationship. I never heard her speak positive about it. She knew she was driving a wedge and instead of backing off and letting them sort it out, she dug in deeper. She loved the control she had and refused to stop. I told her I couldn’t remotely respect anyone like that. She said that he started the flirting, he admitted to liking the attention and it was his fault. She said she would stop it and be better. Fast forward a few months, I came back to visit. Same type of behavior. At this point I’m overly annoyed. I’m taking time off of work, and money to travel just to go and get put on a back burner for a ‘friend’ who lives in the same city, works with (and changes her work schedule to spend more time with him). I would think that since I’m a 9 hr drive away, maybe I’d be just equal to the friends that live there and you see all of the time? No. She was treated and accommodated for more again. At this point, I’ve decided I’m done wasting my time and money to travel to see him. Luckily on all of the trips, I got to hang out with his girlfriend who I love and adore. Since it’s not my relationship and I wasn’t in the situations I will not say anything other than, this ‘friend’ caused them serious issues. While all relationships have issues, they always seemed to work them out. This issue persisted and the ‘friend’, from the what I can tell dug in deeper and latched on more the worse it got. I found out the ‘friend’ had done this to another couple but they cut her out and worked on their relationship. Which is what I thought my best friend would do. Instead, he allowed their issues with and without the ‘friend’ destroy their 10+yr relationship. He called me to ask me if I thought his ‘friend’ had anything to do with it. I laid it ALL out there. How I thought she had a huge part in it, their so called friendship was very toxic and how it was even driving a wedge into it our friendship. I told him about every trip how uncomfortable I was I told him about her confronting me and what I told her. I told him best friends aren’t madly in love and want to fuck each other. He said he wasn’t madly in love with her and that he didn’t want to fuck her and that they would never be together. He took what I said and acknowledged that I do not ever want to be around he. Him and his ex girlfriend came to visit me a few times after their break up. Oddly enough when they did, his ‘friend’ felt inclined to call me to complain about it. ‘Why would you let them come together?!’she asked. So I calmly said, well his ex was just going to come but then HE asked to come with. They were both fine with it in fact they still live together and are fine around each other so I’m not sure what the issue is? We got into a deep conversation and she admitted that she viewed what she was doing with him, while in a relationship, was at the very least emotionally cheating. I told her there’s no way she can remotely view herself as a ‘best friend’ if she’s assisting, knowingly helping him emotionally cheat. I told her she should consider getting a lot of space between them and counseling. (Also in some time frame from my last visit to now, less than a yr, she moved into his apartment complex because living in the same city wasn’t close enough) A few months later he was having a ‘milestone’ birthday so there were plans to rent a cabin in his state with his friends. I was told I was invited but had to ‘be nice’ to the ‘friend’ who was also going. I know that everyone except him was dreading the fact she was going. So I decided why should I waste time off, and money, to go to the middle of the woods to be pissed off? I had always been civil with her. Never mean, but him telling me to be nice and her knowing that she caused issues and not stopping, I don’t think I could hold my tongue around her anymore. I didn’t go which I would have killed to go and celebrate my best friend but I couldn’t because I can’t be around her. My best friend and I got in a very big fight about this. My other best friend who went, told me he was glad I didn’t go because nothing had changed and I would have gone off on her and called the bad guy for calling her out on her shitty actions. Still my best friend doesn’t feel comfortable letting me come to visit because he would feel like he had to put one person above the other while I was there (for one weekend a yr) instead he feels it is best that I let him find the time to come visit me… even though coming back home, he has family and other old friends to make time for and visit so typically we get maybe 2-3 hrs together. I think that this is absolutely ridiculous and that he’s prioritizing his ‘friend’ who lives a short walk away from him. So am I the asshole for wanting to end our friendship?

2024.05.16 20:12 Overall_Gur_3061 Want to be a pilot but scared I might fail.
So like the title says, I'm scared to even begin because of how many negative comments I've seen on the internet showing the dropout rate and cost of it all. I definitely have a passion for aviation as long as I can remember, flying on simulators for years and what not. what I'm trying to say is I wouldn't be doing it for the money although id love to make a living out of it.
I'm 23 currently living at home and plan to do so for a while if I go through with this so I don't have any rent to pay but i am just about 35k in debt with my car and a personal loan both at low rates thankfully and I'm making just over 60k a year. My family is definitely of the lower class, we aren't rich but if I'm sure my dad would help me financially if I asked him for help but that is last resort .What id like to know if its something that is doable for me to do. Id give it my all but a bit uncertain about the outcome. Id have to leave my current job and find a part time while I study. What would be your best advice for someone in my situation? how realistic is it for me to actually make it to be an airline pilot? thank you in advanced

2024.05.16 20:12 Venustheninja What PR publications/newsletters/journals should I subscribe to?
I'm a PR professor at a fairly large University and I have a professional development fund that's set to expire next month (2k?!), and I want to invest it to stay current with the latest trends and best practices in the PR industry so my professional knowledge doesn't atrophy... (6 years in grad school and 4 years teaching will do that...).
It's important to me that my students don't just regurgitate theories- they should be prepared to jump into the field when they graduate so I prefer access to insights and modern examples I can show my students.
So, what are your recommendations for the best publications? A blog, newsletter, a journal, YouTube channel, crisis management, digital PR strategies, influencer marketing, branding, and media relations. Whatever. The sky is the limit, I teach it all. What do you subscribe to?
And while we're on the subject- what do you WISH PR students knew before they got assigned to you? Maybe something you wish you knew before you started?

2024.05.16 20:12 tasata A is for Alcoholic
I'm not sure about this word, alcoholic, in terms of how it relates to me. I think it fits, but it seems so foreign. I honestly didn't see I had a problem with alcohol (could quit any time, I just didn't want to). I drank to excess, but it's because I didn't have willpower...so I thought.
I had a bad night on May 10 and did the 20 questions on May 11. I got a solid 10 with an additional 2 maybes. Ok...12. I got 12. So what does that mean? It means I have a problem with alcohol. I didn't know. I truly didn't know. I knew I had a problem drinking too much, but I live a good life, have friendships and family relations that are healthy. I have a job, a house, I take care of myself and my pets. I just drank too much, but I also ate too much...I saw them as one and the same (although a lot of my eating too much came after drinking, so there's that).
Here's the thing, I didn't drink for 45 years. I started on December 22, 2015 and I didn't ramp up...I drank morning to night for about two months. What happened on December 21, 2015 is that my husband died. The next day, the bottle was my best friend. For the last 8.5 years I drank probably 3/4 of those days...of those days, mostly to excess. I did a dry January in there, but it didn't last and I was so happy to be able to drink again.
So am I an alcoholic? Sincerely asking this question...I don't want to be in denial and yet I've never applied this term to myself before. Why do I have so much trouble with this word?

2024.05.16 20:11 BigRedFury Observations from umpiring 10 Little League playoff games (so far)
Have been behind the plate and in the field for 10 playoff games so far... Minors, Majors, and Juniors and these are the major details I've noticed..
1. PROPER BASE RUNNING IS VITAL: Every game I've had so far (except a lone blowout) has featured base running miscues ranging from not stretching a single to a double to full blown TOOTBLANS. So many teams are giving away outs like it's Halloween.
Coaches need to start with drilling home the idea of running hard to first base and through the bag every single time. In a last night's game, consecutive batters were out on sure infield singles because (for reasons that defy all logic) they coasted the last few steps to the bag and ended up being out easily.
Then there's commitment to reaching the next base. Have watched so many kids run into outs because they can't commit to sliding or hesitate/panic when they realize there's going to be a play made on them. Again, in the same game last night, a kid tried taking 3B on a passed ball but inexplicably came to a full stop when he saw the ball was on the way. Kid could have walked to the bag but instead, he froze. When he finally snapped out of it, he tried retreating to 2B but his trailing teammate was already there and it turned into the world's lamest rundown.
Finally, there's situational awareness and it all comes down to knowing what to do when the ball is in the air. There've been so many double plays from kids getting doubled off and so many wasted opportunities of kids not running on contact with two outs.
2. THE BOTTOM OF YOUR LINEUP WILL MAKE OR BREAK YOUR TEAM: At least half the game have ended in walk-offs and in each of those, a kid at the bottom of the order has come up big- either with a fluke hit, working a walk to turn the lineup over, or sticking his arm up and making a clutch catch. In games where bottom of the lineup kids lived up to their reputations, it's all been a matter of them being able to be in the game and not just stand there and watch a fly ball sail over their head. These kids need to be kept engaged and know what to do when the ball was hit to them. One walk-off game ended on a single to right field. The RF made a nice play but threw the ball to second base (as if it were a routine play to the cut-off man) instead of chucking the ball home and the runner on 2B was able to coast in to end the game.
3. MITIGATE DAMAGE, DON'T LET THE WHEELS FALL OFF, AND NEVER LET THE KIDS SEE YOU'RE SCARED: Anything can happen in baseball and so many of these playoff games have been flipped upside down when one fluke play snowballs into another. Watching a string of coaches meltdown and send their teams into full-blown panic mode after a ground ball slips through a fielder's legs has gotten painful at times.
4. PITCHING: Sure, kids with wipeout stuff are great to have but the ability to get the ball over the plate is the most important thing. Here's how last night's walk-off ended: Walk, Hit Batter, Walk, Walk (tying run), Walk (winning run). I was on the bases last night and that final at-bat lasted probably 10 pitches. Batter kept fouling off anything close and when the fateful pitch came in, I could see it was a ball from out behind the short stop. Still, the kid's manager tried to argue it was a strike. Not a single out was recorded in that inning.
5. POSITIONING: I've noticed the best coaches are aggressive with moving players around to ensure compliance with participation but they always make sure to have a good catcher, shortstop, 1B and left and/or centerfielder.

2024.05.16 20:11 BackOutrageous553 Closing in less than a week - vent about lender
This really is just a vent, just so tired from this process but had to let it out somewhere. So we are hopefully going to close on Tuesday, and it’s been a long time coming since our offer was accepted in March. Our lender is such a prick.
I had an old post on this, but we originally went with him because we felt pressure to (he was recommended by our realtor) in order to have a timely close and to protect our initial deposit. He didn’t find us the best rate (he eventually did match it) - a different lender did and we wish we had gone with that guy.
This guy has been in the industry for a long time, which means he’s shit at explaining the process because it’s all automatic to him. It seems like every question we have has been met with this condescending attitude: “come on, id expect a CPA to know this” (im an accountant but that is unrelated to the home buying process so that is just a stupid comment). He’s always saying how he’s never had this question before, when we are asking what we think are pretty basic things like “how does a float down work” or “what should we expect after we lock our rate up until closing (like when are we getting final closing costs, when are we getting a refreshed loan estimate with our locked rate to sign, etc)
Anyways, we got our clear to close yesterday, and initial closing documents and signed them because our closing is Tuesday. Yesterday, we also saw that rates dropped below 7%, so I sent a note to him asking if we would be able to float down our rate. We weren’t sure if the rate moved enough to qualify so was just asking the question in case we could save some $. This morning he emails us and says we can float it down and we would need to also pay for points (I.e. more closing costs). I call him immediately and say we never agreed to paying for points, we aren’t interested in doing that because break even period is too long. Also, we could have paid for points originally, but didn’t - still don’t understand why he would think we would be cool all of a sudden paying for points. Anyways he comes back and says he’s already involved all the senior people in his company to make this float down happen because they are so rare, it’s all in motion already, and basically we should be grateful he did this for us. I had read in this sub that sometimes the lender will give you a credit to fund the discount points you’re paying for, so I ask if this is an option because we don’t have anymore cash to spend on closing. He says that him even asking this question is going to delay our closing, in fact, the longer it takes us to decide on this on the phone is going to delay closing, and just keeps pushing us to pay for points if we want a timely closing. It was just unnecessary pressure and insane - it almost felt like he was threatening us to either pay for points, otherwise our closing would be delayed.
Anyways, hopefully it will all work out and we will close on time. I just stayed firm and said forget the float down, just to stick to what we originally had in the ICD. But man I’m so tired of this guy - he’s an ass.
I guess if you made it all the way to the bottom of this vent:

I guess if you made it all the way to the bottom of this vent:
- did I fuck up by asking if we could float our rate down? I just would have thought any reasonable person would see the rate change yesterday and ask if it was an option, just in case. Lender is acting like we messed up by asking this question and “no one else has ever asked to float the rate down at the eleventh hour” but we thought it was an obvious “worth the question” situation. He could have just said no?
- we are hoping to refinance with a different lender later this year and never talk to this guy again. how soon do you have to wait before you can refinance with a different lender?
2024.05.16 20:11 Prendertrick666 I 30f am in love with 55m - anyone with experience in age gap relation?
I am asking for advice not hate. I have no family left- all died recently. I met this man one day at work who walked into the store and even tho I was in another relation at the time, he caused this energy in my body the moment he walked in those doors and he felt the same ( told me without me telling him).
I didnt know his age- thought maybe 40 and he thought maybe I was 35. We found out after 3 dates our age gap was much bigger… but yet I still was attracted.
I heard stories folks being happy and prefering short love than never experiencing it etc. He could be healthier and live longer than me etc.
Now the only problem I have here is that I am used to men providing for me and on dates making effort make me feel like worthwhile….. I am not “ entitled” in the sense of being materialistic…. But a nice home cooked meal dinner would be nice….
We spoke of the future. He has his own landscaping company that he told me I can take over 50%…. But at the moment I am working for him for 20$/h …. He charges 75$/h. I struggle financially as I lost over 400k to a scam so all savings gone. I am trying rebuild my life also after financial loss in my recent relation.
I feel vulnerable but this man had similar hardship life as me and i felt understood for once and respected. He doesnt sleep with me. Wants to be old school and take slow ( 4 months knowing him so far we kissed only). He is a 2 time widower to his long term gf who both died suddenly. He has not been with anyone in 6 years. He has been a rape victim as a child. He has two hybrid wolf dogs that are his babies and need his attention always.
So these are my concerns and need advice how to bring it up or to help me reflect: 1) I always go to him since my living situation is meh. He never offers gas $ . I live 20 min uphill drive to him. He cooked for me meals when i slept over but otherwise no meal. He told me we werre having lunch after golf he would make us burgers and when i got to golf he asked me if i brought my lunch and saw he had one burger packed for himself? I felt too shy to mention that i thought he was cooking for us both?so i just brushed it off and said i feel nauseous and just didnt eat for the whole date.
2) when i work for him i feel cheap getting my pay from him. He tells me to move with him etc but I worry he wants 50/50 and I am not a gold digger but I still like to be cared for by a man… especially who is somewhat better off financially than me. I always would put all my money if i had it to help my ex make it work and not expect paycback as I want to commit and be a team.
I am hard working, ready build life but i know finances are cause of divorce etc. I worry if i move in i am going to be working to save for a home again and paying rent and food while he has savings in the bank for a home and can travel etc…. I feel it would grow resent?
I want to grow and be a team. Am i wrong to wish financial help from him more if we talk of building a life together? Am i clueless & naive or greedy for wanting that? Is he clueless maybe because didnt daye for a long time?

Hey everyone!
A while ago, I tried connecting with some of you here. We had some chats, but they didn't last very long. So, I thought I'd give it another go with another created account.
If you ask me how I'm doing, I'd say, "Life's pretty good right now. I have a family that cares about me, a job that pays the bills, and I can't even remember the last time things were this stable." And I'd be telling you the truth.
But, deep down, I've been feeling lost. So lost. It's like I'm just living day by day without really enjoying it. It's a scary feeling. And with everything going on in the world time feels weird. Days drag on, but weeks and months fly by. It's like I'm stuck in the same routine, and I miss the old times. Times which I am not sure I have ever lived.
I'm a quiet soul, often lost in my thoughts. Alonness gives me the space to reflect. I strive to be compassionate and understanding, even though I'm far from perfect. Life has been a limited journey for me so far, but I'm eager to embrace new experiences. My aim is to connect deeper with people, to truly understand and empathize. And if you ever feel alone, remember I'm here to lend an ear.
I love beauty in many forms: from playful tunes to classical music, and from great movies to comforting TV shows like "Angels in America." I can't get enough of good books, and TV series. My music playlist is diverse, and I often find peace in meditation.
I'm here, hoping to find a genuine soul connection. Someone whose understanding of life echoes mine. I cherish friendships that are profound and genuine, where we can be pillars of support for one another. Trust, care, and mutual respect are the cornerstones of such a bond for me.
If you're thinking of messaging me, just know that I like to chat every day, and the length of the conversations would vary as we both understand there are so many obligations on this Earth we can't escape.
I'm in Europe, so if our time zones are too different, it might be hard. But if you feel like we could try, feel free to send me a message. Let's see where it goes. I'm all ears and ready to answer any questions you have.

2024.05.16 20:10 Lamentingbro Is there a relatively safe Nietzsche book that I can give to my brother without him going into a psychosis while trying to better himself?
My brother is depressed, and it might be the same problem that I had. A narrative you make to oppress yourself because of weakness. The narrative is self-pitying and narcissistic to protect the person from larger fears. But when I broke trough that, and saw that my worldview was a miserable self-spanking fantasy, I snapped out of it.
Is there a book that helps people trough that process without them becoming 'unpredictable' he has a girlfriend and a job to go to, so he might not have the best enviroment that reorganize his whole psyche.

2024.05.16 20:10 ConstructionOk9895 Looking for legal advice
I work at a warehouse where I do freight. I won’t name the warehouse but let’s say it’s one of the largest warehouse/ retail stores in the world. Anyways like I said I do freight where my team and I unload cargo trucks for the most part. Every single one of my coworkers are absolutely amazing, we’re all friends and even hang out outside of work. I don’t have a single bad thing to say about anyone, except this one coworker. I won’t say his name but let’s call him bob. Bob has been a problem at this job since he got hired 7 months ago. He’s had multiple complaints over the months where he’ll spit in front of ppl when he passes by them and he’s also been knewn to “shoulder checking ppl” Bob has also wished death on these ppl in front of a bunch of other coworkers as well. When he was reported to the manager the manager didn’t do a single thing. Not even sit down to talk with him. I spoke with the manager a couple weeks ago because Bob almost ran me over with a pellet jack IN FRONT of her and she didn’t say a single thing. It’s store policy to say “pallet jack going in/pallet jack going out” that way you don’t accidentally hit someone. Bob didn’t say a single thing and when I told him about it he told me to open my eyes. Again the manager was right there and didn’t say thing. Recently a couple coworkers found there lunch boxes soaking wet with all their food in the trash cans. Every knows it’s him but again HR nor the managers did anything.
2 days ago on Tuesday. We were unloading the cargobox again Bob isn’t doing his job right. His putting the big boxes on the small selves when we have a SPECIFIC spot for them. This is an every day occurrence. But I guess after we told him for 100th to put the big boxes where they go he lost his mind. He went into my locker, took my personal belongings and threw them in the trash. He also left a soaking wet paper napkin in there (I did know if it was soaking from water, piss or who knows what) I went to confront him and told him i knew it was him bc I placed a small camera in my locker and saw the video. As I’m walking out to leave I tell another manger about his and she told me to write a report. As I’m writing my report Bob comes over and demands the manager to give him a report so he can fill out. The manager says that it’s for only serious reports, Bob then proceeds to have mental breakdown where his SCREAMING at the top of lungs saying the team harasses him bc his always tell him to do the job properly, shortly afterwards the ADMITTED to the manager that he went into my locker and threw my personal belongings away. The managers jaw dropped to the floor she couldn’t believe that he just admitted to stealing my stuff and vandalizing my locker.
The next day(yesterday Wednesday) the head manger of the store calls me apologizing about what happened. He told me to ignore him and when I asked if he’s getting the fired the head manger basically told me to mind my business. Later that day I go to work and guess what Bob is still there after he admitted committing a crime in front of the other manger and a bunch coworkers. I proceed to ignore him that whole day. After my shift is over I went to the manger office asking if I could get a lock for my locker. This new manger gave me a brand new lock and as I’m walking into the break room to lock up my locker is see Bob staying in front of my locker with a smile on his face I look at my locker and I see that he drew all over it. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Someone scribbled on his locker (most likely he did it himself) and he proceeded to blame me saying I drew on his locker so he drew on mine. I couldn’t believe my eyes. The ENTIRE break room was packed with all my other coworkers and they just stood there in absolute shock on how he had to audacity to vandalize my locker for the second time I a row. I didn’t touch his locker, nor did I draw on it. Nor did I even say ANYTHING to him that entire day. One of the manger came and told me to write a report I told him I’d rather just go home but then Bob said he wanted to write a report so the manger told me I should too. All the manger are sick of his and so are the other coworkers. No one can believe his audacity nor the fact that he wasn’t fired the first time he stole my property, nor the fact that it happened the very next day again.
I’m kinda shocked that I didn’t receive a call from the head manager today since his commit 2 crimes 2 days in a row.
Last month I did a interview for a new position at the company and I’m currently in the process of being transferred to a new position and my theory is that Bob is mad that I got the new job opportunity and not him since he also applied for it and got denied.
I just don’t know what to due. I transfer began of next month but there’s no way I can continue working with Bob for another 3 weeks considering what happened in the last 2 days.
If I go to work today and see that his still there after ALL OF THIS. I might consider pressing charges bc this is just INSANE

[Ok to monetize, but don't paywall. Yet again, a short script set at the same party. Yknow i'm gonna have to come up with a name for the stories that take place at Teo's party]
(Party ambience)
[Bf]
(Awkwardly, as if the words aren't natural for him)
Hey, beautiful, come here often?
…
What? Can't I flirt with my absolute favorite person this side of the Mississippi?
…
(Scoff)
I am not bad at flirting. You take that back. I flirt just as well as the next gay. Guy. I mean guy. Fuck. Well, also gay. I mean, I'm bi, but I do call myself gay a lot.
…
Sorry, not the point. Look, I'm going to prove that I can flirt with you in a… perfectly respectable way.
…
(Shouting)
I'm gonna flirt with my lovely datemate and it's gonna be so normal! You'll all see!
[Random partier]
Off to a great start, weirdo.
[Bf]
Fuck.
…
Okay, so I'm bad at flirting. I admit it. Happy?
…
Good. Cuz I'm going to flirt as ridiculously as I can now, just to be annoying.
…
(Laughing)
You love it.
…
When we met, it was at a party like this, remember? You walked up to me and told me you wanted to kiss me. I did not hear you correctly because the party was loud, and I thought you said you wanted to kick me. If I remember right, my response was something along the lines of "sounds kinky."
…
Yup. That's why I said that. Wait, did you seriously think I said that in response to a mysterious queer saying they'd kiss me? No, no. You looked hot as hell and your expression was absolutely electrifying, and I thought you wanted to get rough. You were an intimidatingly attractive enby. A "them fatale," if you will.
…
Well, yeah, maybe if I'd said that to someone who actually wanted to kick me, I would have gotten destroyed, but luckily, I'm just a dumbass and you love it.
…
Oh, I actually had a crush on you before that. That's how I knew your pronouns before we introduced ourselves. Jenny knows pretty much everyone, so I asked her about the "devastatingly beautiful person of indeterminate gender," or something like that.
…
Eh, I barely know her. I just know she knows most of the people who come to these parties. She even knows the emo boy that sometimes comes through outta nowhere. I think he and Mateo might be a thing?
…
I-D-K, babe. It's the best explanation I can think of.
…
Okay, I think I'm gonna give flirting another try. Prepare for me to sweep you off your socks.
…
You know you love it when I mess up an expression, babe.
Uh, you, um… Did it hurt when you, um…
…
Sorry, I got kinda lost there.
(Salvaging the pickup line)
Must have been your eyes.
[Hit]
Owwwww! Why the domestic abuse all of a sudden? Mad that I made it work?
…
Oh my god, that's exactly it, isn't it?
…
You look so cute when you're trying to be mad about something dumb. Kinda breaks my immersion.
…
You know, with the whole "them fatale" vibe you've got going on. Although I guess I don't fit the sexy brooding detective vibe, huh? I'm more like a henchman. Which, now that I think about it, would be pretty hot. We should totally roleplay that sometime.
…
Oh, right. I was flirting. Um… You know what? I give up. I am bad at flirting.
…
Yeahhhh.
…
I kind of wanna try again.
…
Okay, here goes: Make out with me? Please? Pretty please? With toppings of your choice?
…
Yippee!
(While making out)
Fuck, you're so hot.
And you're so good at kissing.
…
(Listener pins him to the wall)
Whoa.
(Making out resumes)
If you keep this up…
I'm gonna be even more brainless…
Than usual.
…
No, I'm not complaining, I—
(Making out continues)
I'm the luckiest guy…
In the whole fucking world…
And no one but me knows it.
(Excitedly)
W-whoa, you're moving down to the neck?
…
N-no, I like, I'm just– I don't know if I can, uh, keep it together if you keep going. We should, um, find a spare room.
…
N-nice. Let's, uh, do that.

(Awkwardly, as if the words aren't natural for him)
Hey, beautiful, come here often?
…
What? Can't I flirt with my absolute favorite person this side of the Mississippi?
…
(Scoff)
I am not bad at flirting. You take that back. I flirt just as well as the next gay. Guy. I mean guy. Fuck. Well, also gay. I mean, I'm bi, but I do call myself gay a lot.
…
Sorry, not the point. Look, I'm going to prove that I can flirt with you in a… perfectly respectable way.
…
(Shouting)
I'm gonna flirt with my lovely datemate and it's gonna be so normal! You'll all see!
[Random partier]
Off to a great start, weirdo.
[Bf]
Fuck.
…
Okay, so I'm bad at flirting. I admit it. Happy?
…
Good. Cuz I'm going to flirt as ridiculously as I can now, just to be annoying.
…
(Laughing)
You love it.
…
When we met, it was at a party like this, remember? You walked up to me and told me you wanted to kiss me. I did not hear you correctly because the party was loud, and I thought you said you wanted to kick me. If I remember right, my response was something along the lines of "sounds kinky."
…
Yup. That's why I said that. Wait, did you seriously think I said that in response to a mysterious queer saying they'd kiss me? No, no. You looked hot as hell and your expression was absolutely electrifying, and I thought you wanted to get rough. You were an intimidatingly attractive enby. A "them fatale," if you will.
…
Well, yeah, maybe if I'd said that to someone who actually wanted to kick me, I would have gotten destroyed, but luckily, I'm just a dumbass and you love it.
…
Oh, I actually had a crush on you before that. That's how I knew your pronouns before we introduced ourselves. Jenny knows pretty much everyone, so I asked her about the "devastatingly beautiful person of indeterminate gender," or something like that.
…
Eh, I barely know her. I just know she knows most of the people who come to these parties. She even knows the emo boy that sometimes comes through outta nowhere. I think he and Mateo might be a thing?
…
I-D-K, babe. It's the best explanation I can think of.
…
Okay, I think I'm gonna give flirting another try. Prepare for me to sweep you off your socks.
…
You know you love it when I mess up an expression, babe.
Uh, you, um… Did it hurt when you, um…
…
Sorry, I got kinda lost there.
(Salvaging the pickup line)
Must have been your eyes.
[Hit]
Owwwww! Why the domestic abuse all of a sudden? Mad that I made it work?

Oh my god, that's exactly it, isn't it?

2024.05.16 20:10 matrixunplugged1 CS bachelors through Coursera worth it?
Hello,
I have been working as a data analyst for the past 3 years (using mainly SQL, Excel and Tableau), have done other non tech roles before that mainly in startups. Over time I have realised that my initial bachelors in economics, although from a top UK uni is good enough to get me interviews for analyst roles, my lack of a solid grounding in CS fundamentals will limit me if I want to get into a data engineering/data science/ML Ops/ML etc. I have also looked into Georgia Tech OMSCS but apparently it's very hard and even experienced engineers struggle to finish it, let alone a non tech person like myself.
I have done the research and I think I will do a second bachelors in CS alongside my job. I found one on Coursera. The only issue is it's from an Indian Uni although it's very well respected for engineering and very hard to get into for offline students (there's another one from the uni of London but their admin support is apparently really bad and it's 6 times the cost so not pursuing that). Now initially I thought nothing of it, but the general perception of Indian software engineers online seems to be terrible (due to outsourcing, the best ones leave the country and the outsourced work goes to the ones who couldn't make it so to say), and this also gives Indian degrees a bad rep apparently from what I have heard online.
Now I am doing this for the CS knowledge but if I will be putting in so much effort for the next 3 years doing it full time alongside my job, then I want the degree to mean something too to potential employers, at the very least it should not subtract from my CV, so I wanted to ask whether this is a genuine concern, will having a second Indian bachelors in a Western job market be a bad thing for my profile or am I just being stupid? Thanks!

2024.05.16 20:10 kayakero What are market cycles in the financial markets?
 | When you want to invest in the stock market or trade, it is important to be trained, especially if you are a beginner or Dummy. And one of the concepts that you need to know, and that we teach in our trading courses, are the market cycles in trading and the stock market. It is important to take them into account, so in this article we are going to delve into it. submitted by kayakero to CapitalistExploits [link] [comments] As a premise, we can affirm that market cycles are the trends that can occur in a given market and environment; These patterns allow some financial assets to perform better than others. Although these cycles rarely have a specific beginning and end point and are best identified when they have already occurred, by following appropriate trading strategies investors can benefit economically from the oscillations of market cycles, identifying the turns or cycle changes. The phases of the market cycleKnowing the phases of the market cycle helps us anticipate possible turns in it. It is not easy, it is very difficult to know exactly what month, day or time it can occur, so you have to be attentive, be aware of the information coming from analysts, media and investors to find those changes in the cycle and anticipateYou've probably heard of bubbles and maybe know someone who has been trapped in them. And you can learn a lot from them, but despite this, many investors forget about them when they intervene in the financial markets. We must prevent these turns from catching us off guard and to do so it is essential to train: know the different phases, understand how the markets work and learn technical analysis. Cycles are frequent in all aspects of life and markets were not going to be any less; So from the outset we can affirm that there are short-term movements or, on the contrary, long-term movements. Whatever market we are interested in, keep in mind that all markets have similar characteristics and go through the same phases: they are cyclical. They go up, down and down, going up again. When one cycle ends, the next begins. The problem arises when investors, and there is a large majority, do not remember that financial markets move in cycles, which can lead them to face big problems. This article is related to the current that links this period with a possible end of the cycle and if so, you may have to make a decision or exit your buying positions and start thinking about sales, or stay but very well protected. https://preview.redd.it/jl2tkwt3xt0d1.png?width=744&format=png&auto=webp&s=53db3fd10c92e561c7d4a40809fac2ae0b725e69 Let's get right into knowing what the phases of the market cycle are: Accumulation phase This phase occurs after the market has bottomed. Here managers who have experience and investors with many tables begin to buy despite the trend. They think the worst is over. If you are in stocks, it is likely that your purchases are highly attractive, bought very close to minimums, or even below your historical records. The overall market sentiment remains bearish. Media articles preach gloom and gloom, and those who went long through the worst of the bear market have recently capitulated, that is, they have given up and sold the rest of their holdings in disgust. But in the accumulation phase, prices have flattened and for every seller who throws in the towel, there is a brave and experienced investor who picks up. Overall market sentiment begins to shift from negative to neutral . Bull market phase At this stage, the market has been stable for a while and is starting to move higher. They start to get on the bus. This group includes technicians who, seeing that the market is making lower highs and higher highs, recognize that the direction and sentiment of the market has changed. Media stories are beginning to discuss the possibility that the worst is over, but unemployment continues to rise, as do reports of layoffs in many sectors. As this phase matures, more investors get on the bus, the feeling of greed prevails , replacing that of fear. It's funny because right now the strong hands are unloading their positions and starting to leave paper until prices start to level out, or when the rally slows down, the stragglers who have been sitting on the sidelines see it as an opportunity to buy and jump. mass. Prices make a final parabolic movement, known in technical analysis as a selling climax, which is recognized as the greatest gains in the shortest periods are when they occur. Come on, we scalpers put on our boots! But the cycle is approaching the top of the bubble. Sentiment goes from neutral to bullish to straight up euphoric during this phase. Distribution Phase In the third phase of the market cycle, sellers begin to dominate. This part of the cycle is identified by a period in which the bullish sentiment of the previous phase turns into mixed sentiment. Prices can often stay locked in a trading range that can last a few weeks or even months. For example, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) peaked in January 2000, it traded close to its previous peak and stayed there for a period of more than 18 months. But the distribution phase can come and go quickly. For the Nasdaq, the distribution phase was less than a month, as it peaked in March 2000 and then retreated shortly after. When this phase is over, the market reverses direction. Classic patterns such as double and triple cups, as well as upper head and shoulders patterns , are examples of movements that occur during the distribution phase. The distribution phase is a very emotional time for the markets as investors are gripped by periods of complete fear interspersed with hope and greed as the market can sometimes appear to be taking off again. Valuations are extreme on many issues and strong hands have been sitting for a long time. Sentiment is slowly and surely beginning to change, although it is a transition that can happen quickly if accelerated by a strongly negative geopolitical event or bad economic news. Bearish phase The fourth and final phase of the cycle is the most painful for those who still have positions. Many cling because their investment has fallen below what they paid for it, behaving like a pirate who falls overboard clutching a bar of gold, refusing to let go in the vain hope of being rescued. Only when the market is down 50% or more do the laggards, many of whom bought during the distribution or early markdown phase, give up or capitulate . This is where strong hands start to buy and a sign that bottoming is imminent . Here the pessimism is maximum, again this phase will go to accumulation and the latter will start an upward trend and the cycle will begin. How long can an economic cycle last?There is no set deadline for each cycle. A cycle can last anywhere from a few weeks to a number of years, depending on the market in question and the time horizon you are looking at.A day trader with five-minute bars may see four or more complete cycles per day, while, for a real estate investor, one cycle may last 18-20 years. Although, as we have indicated, there is no specific duration for each cycle, we can distinguish them in this classification in relative terms of time:
It is not necessary to confirm that it is necessary to know what cycle we are in if we move in the world of stock market investments and do trading. But more than knowing where we are at all times, which is not difficult to find out, what we should try to know is when a phase will end and the next one will begin. To analyze these phases or cycles, we can use some well-known indicators:

2024.05.16 20:09 1234fake1234yesyes Should I quit my apprenticeship if I’m bad at it?
I wasn’t sure really where to ask but Im pretty bad at my job and every day feels like a struggle. For the last few days/ week for example every other person had to essentially redo work that I’d done at a subpar standard and I know work that I’ve done months ago is going to have to do the same thing when that is going to our customers.
I think I’m basically a liability at this point and don’t see the point continuing especially considering the other people that started with me are doing much much better or at least performing well enough none of their work is genuinely required to be completely redone.
Not to mention some of it is being redone after some pretty harsh comments by our customers to my manager who just had to suck it up and take it cos of me.
My issue is the mistakes I keep making aren’t work related - they’re very very basic mistakes and I don’t think the incompetence can be trained out even with time.
It’s upsetting because it’s in a field that I wanna do so if I quit I don’t think I’ll ever get back into that field and I don’t think I’d be able to find another apprenticeship cos I’d be quitting for incompetence essentially.
My question is should I leave the apprenticeship scheme and pursue a job somewhere more aligned with my strengths?
Edit: I was considering asking my manager if I should leave but I also don’t think he’s too happy on Wednesday when he found even MORE work that was subpar
