LONG POST! This is only based on my own experience.
Hello! Napansin ko lang po napaka underrated ng Klubsybear. Enrolled ako sa kanila during the March 2023, intern pako and may MTAP, softcopy pa mga notes and colored. Sobrang naappreciate ko lang mothernotes nila ngayong nagrereview ako for board exam. Hindi masakit sa mata and hindi ako nabobored basahin yung notes, unlike sa notes ko ngayon na black and white. Additionally, konti lang blanks sa mga notes hindi ka mahihirapan magsulat. Makapal din mothernotes pero siksik na sa info no need na magbasa ng libro kasi ieexplain din sayo ni sir Kevin kapag magkaiba sinasabi ng mga books. I know makakatulong yung black and white na notes for board exam pero as a person na gusto colorful ang notes and tamad magbasa ng books perfect sa akin yung klubsy, magaling pa magexplain si sir kevin and other lecturers. Pati yung table type nila na final coaching kahit ayun na nga lang aralin for board tingin ko papasa na. And yung telegram group nila na nagpopost mga lecturer ng mga poll questions kaya pag tinatamad ako magreview sa tg na lang ako pupunta and magsasagot ako dun nakakareview pa rin ako. Sayang lang dinidelete yung tg group after ng review season, walang ganun sa current RC ko hahahaah. Pinaka the best din sa klubsy, of course, si Sir kevin napakagaling magturo swak na swak sa akin teaching style nya. Favorite ko sa kanya is CM and proud to say matataas nakukuha ko na score sa CM assessment sa current RC ko and dahil yun sa magandang foundation na nabuild ko thru the help of klubsy. During my review din hindi fast-paced. Parang 1 week nga ata CM namin nun and ganun din sa other subjects (kahit di ako nakakasunod sa sched dahil sa internship). Kaya bet na bet ko yun as a slow learner hahaha. AND downloadable din mga video nila kaya meron pa rin ako copies.
Wala ako bad experience sa klubsy nung nagrereview ako sa kanila kahit for MTAP lang yon sobrang laking help ngayong nagrereview nako for boards. Tingin ko angn nagpakaba lang skn nun is ang tagal nila magreply sa chats noong nageenroll ako, tumagal ata ng 1 day before maconfirm payment ko.
Ayun lang, napansin ko kasi super underrated ng klubsy di ko sila madalas mabasa na nirerecommend dito and sa X. Pero, anyways, depende naman kasi sa magrereview yung review center. Di ko rin sure if may nagbago ba sa klubsy since last year pako nagreview pero irerecommend ko pa rin. If you're a slow learner like me and ayaw ng fast paced, I recommend klubsy. Kung intern ka or may MTAP, perfect din klubsy malulunod ka sa questions sa kanila.
ps. Gamit na gamit ko pa rin notes nila and meron silang compiled review questions ng mga books kaya di ako nahihirapan ngayon maganswer.

Hi all, I've never posted on this sub let alone reddit before but I'm constantly on here reading others posts and I’d like a diverse perspective about my situation and what others would do in my position. I'm also posting in some other subs to see if opinions change based on the demographic. That being said, let's get into this story.
First I(26) want to say that I'm very close to both my dad(late 60’s) and grandfather(early 90’s). They both have spent their lives farming. When they were my age they would farm in the summer and drive trucks and log in the winter. I have spent my summers farming with them and winters I’ve worked different jobs including construction, plumbing and more recently I got a degree in machining. Though that didn't last long as both my boss and the in-house engineers all said I was too smart to be machining and should go back to school for engineering. I took this to heart and started going to school for civil engineering as I feel it would bring the most satisfaction in terms of work product and the added flexibility of where I want to live and work. I’ve been going to a local community college for the last two years which has allowed me to continue helping on the farm whenever needed. This coming semester I will have to leave for a university about 4 hours away meaning I won't be able to help on the farm. I'm very blessed in that both my dad and grandfather are very supportive of me going into engineering and have even offered money to help with school but luckily though part time work and scholarships I haven’t needed to accept it.
Here's my dilemma, even though they are very supportive I can't stop myself from feeling guilty for leaving the farm and leaving my almost 70 year old dad and 90 year old grandfather to continue farming by themselves. They’ve been able to manage it before, like last summer when I had an internship and only was able to help 3-4 hours in the evenings, but they barely seemed to get all the work done. Seeing my grandfather work in the field from 8am to 9pm during the summer just doesn't seem fair while I sit in an office job. A side note my grandfather is an amazing self taught welder that still does most of our welding unless it's in a more awkward spot he can't get to, in which case he basically coaches me through the process. My grandfather will never retire, he even told me when I asked that if he retired he might as well just die because what else would he do. My father is the same way and would never want to sell the business or land which is something I also would never want to do. I feel bad letting multiple generations or experience and time in a business disappear so I can go do something I would like to do. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy farming. I just see more stability in having a more stable 9-5 job with health insurance and paid time off.
This dilemma is not new to me, it's been in my head eversense since highschool. When the guidance counselors would ask me what I wanted to do after school I always had ideas of things I’d really enjoy but always felt somewhat obligated to stay and work the family farm. Especially because I’m an only child and the only relative that could feasibly take over the farm. The farm is also not a corporation that could afford to hire someone and give benefits like health insurance and a 401k which seems like the minimum to be able to hire someone outside of family. It's not a new dilemma but recently it's really started to get to me with the moving further away from home and my father having to go to the ER twice this month from hurting his wrist falling out of a tractor and another health issue that required surgery. It just really makes me realize that he is getting older and could use more help around the farm. Though he fully supports me, he has asked before if something did happen to him if I would take over the farm and continue the business. I told him yes and do fully believe I would, which makes me question why I wouldn’t be trying to learn as much from him now as possible so when the day comes he does pass away I’m more prepared to take over.
Here's my question for all of you, what would you do in my situation? Or has anyone known someone in a similar situation and how did they go about things? I've considered going back to machining because I think it would be a more useful skill on the farm and then taking some welding classes at the community college. But I’ve also thought about finishing engineering and seeing if it would be possible to work full time in the winter and part time or take summers off to farm. I know the latter part is very unlikely but I wanted to see if anyone has seen a similar set up with their work before.
I also wanted to add that even though the farm doesn't make enough to hire someone full time, if I stayed and farmed I would be able to make a comfortable income as I would have a percent ownership in the business. Especially if I was able to work somewhere else during the winter to supplement it.

I’m taking the 6 week zoom session of DiffEq with Biniyam Tibebu - looking for some advice from previous students.
There’s almost nothing on the canvas page, and I haven’t gotten a response on any of my emails. We have a test on June 3rd, and all I’m going off of is WebAssign.
For anyone that has taken him before, how closely do the exams follow the WebAssign questions?
Apparently it’s a proctored zoom exam but I haven’t heard anything about it.
Also, does the math department usually create standardized exams? Does Tibebu have his own exams or does he maybe use another software like myOpenMath?
My friend has a different professor, but they shared some notes and it’s been super helpful. Just wondering if maybe those study materials are similar to what will be tested.
Any advice would be super appreciated! Also feel free to reach out if you’re in the same class, we can maybe make a study group!

I just want confirmation my parents are narcissist.
So... my mom has never really been loving. My dad had/had PTSD. It is his way or the highway. My mom will straight up tell people "I learned to ignore him", "I never wanted another kid, I should've got my tubes tied after the first one, his dad is the only reason I didn't get an abortion". She will buy me things, and then when i'm telling her she is acting horribly yelling at me for something minimal (not writing a note in the cashapp for example) and then say "I wasn't treating you horribly when I bought you this thing earlier!!"
I don't remember the last time I got a hug from either one of my parents.
My parents never actually helped me get my license, they claim they "Tried to teach me!!" but got about 20 driving hours for me, refused to fill out the time sheets, and would yell and freak out at every mistake I made on the road. They bought me a barely driveable $900 grandam @ 18 after I was told i'd get a new car when I graduated (I am 22 and graduated in 2020) I was expecting like a decent condition 2007-2008 car that would reliably get me from point a to point b but was bought a 2002 wrecked grandam with hood latches due to deer wreck damage and struts so bad that the back end would slide out from under it on minimal potholes and tires that I had the fill back up daily to keep it off the ground. $900 car that required $2000 worth of repairs. I had to eventually buy my own car (they never helped me fix it depaite my dad being a literal jet mechanic) and drive it back and forth from work illegally until I got good enough at driving to get my license, because it was apparently easier for my mom to continue driving me to work on her lunch break and picking me up from work at 7 then to spend a few weekends and hours after work some days with me preparing for a drivers test. They then sold the car randomly and were planning on pocketing the money until I told them hell no that was my 18th birthday gift and that was my money.
Both my mother and my dad would get physically aggressive and spank pretty excessively but not to the point where I was like "this is abuse". As I grew older and grew to be a bigger teenager it turned into them moreso actually trying to physically fight me, me running as to avoid a fight as they yelled things like "I'M GOING TO RIP YOUR F***ING HEAD OFF" and locking myself in my room or running around outside until they were no longer violently angry.
One time I got a full blown blender thrown at my shoulder as a kid because I didn't help my dad find his shoes when he was late to meet some of his work friends, he also in that instance chased me a quarter way down our street (thankfully I was like 16 5'10 and fast) before going home and cooling down.
One time he also threw a tape measure at my shin and I still have a mark in my shin bone from that.
Lots of promises that were never kept and were forgot about. "If you help me with this massive months long hard process I will buy you shing expensive thing" helps and never gets said thing but gets yelled at the whole time for not doing things "the right way"
My mom also called me ugly as a kid, told people in front of me (and I quote) "Yeah I was pissed when he came out with red hair, i don't like red heads!"
She would tell people I was a little bastard and would tell them the amount of adhd medication I was on and how it was enough for like 2 adults (i already started questioning why the hell I was on that amount of adhd medication in the first place, i was basically m37hed out on adderall and vyvanse and concerts as a 7-14 year okd kid)
One time she bought me a pokeball as a kid at walmart, and our way home I did something she didn't like and she grabbed the pokeball and chucked it out the window and bragged to people about it
One year my brother got a laptop and an ipod and some other stuff and ya boy got some action figures
My mom thrrows a fit that I don't "contribute in the house" or clean when I stick to my area of the house, don't use the kitchen or dishes (i have my own dishes I use and I eat out mainly so i don't have to deal with them) and don't created that messes that need to be cleaned up and I keep my areas of the house clean. I could probably go count 7 wrappers and 6 pop cans and 3 plates down on our kitchen bar right now and I do not spend any time in the kitchen but I am apparently supposed to clean that stuff up as well as do the dishes that I don't use.
My dad will say "Here i'll tell you what you need to do" and if I do anything other than agree with him he will say "well then you're f***int stupid"
My dad would get violently angry at you if there was a tiny piece of lettuce in his taco or anything but meat and cheese on his burger and if you laugh at him for how ridiculous he is reacting he redirects that anger and amplifies it towards you
My parents and brother would kinda gang up and do things that would "trigger" me and laugh and yell at me when I reacted badly.
I just want confirmation that this is narccisism. I've been looking for what to call my experience with my parents for a while and I think this is it.

This is my first time asking a question , don’t mind my bad English writing skills 😅 I am asking this for a friend who isn’t on Reddit , about her relationship.
She’s been with him for almost 5 years now , and she was the first one to approach him. After taking time of 4 whole months he said yes to her ( in a time where they were kissing /making out) . He isn’t a very romantic person but my friend is an absolute sweetheart who showers everyone around with love and kindness.
Things were okay until he said things demeaning her body about her strech marks , etc. He had also compared her with other friends of hers who were pretty/ hot / post thirst traps on insta. My friend, still being head over love with him chose to be with him , no matter what.
Then came a time in his life where he needed her help with his academic life , be it assignments , his thesis, everything and she was there. In fact , helped him score amazing on all his tests and help him complete his thesis. He used to never give her the love she requires and rather used to fights with her that she wasn’t able to complete everything on time. Mind you , she used to put her things and our college assignments and exams aside for his work.
Fast forward to now , she expects him to atleast be giving now , to understand her love language , to call back often , to message first , talk romantically or whatever and it still doesn’t work that way. And he hadn’t told his friends about her whereas she told all her friends about him. He likes to stay a mysterious man where he doesn’t where he is going / what he is doing from the start and my friend , not knowing how a two sided relationship should look like , still pours into him.
So rn she’s seen some couples in her friends where it is a two sided relationship and it’s awestruck and doubtful on him. However , please note that he has been loyal to her and she to him the past 5 years.
I want to hear your opinion on whether she’s right to love him this much without expecting anything in return ?

"Good afternoon Ms. Lopez." I say, warmly greeting an elderly Cuban woman in her sixties. She smiles sweetly at me as she asks me if I am the chef behind today's food, in Spanish. I smile and nod at her, and she excitedly begins to chatter in Spanish, telling me the latest chisme regarding the latest romantic escapades occurring in her son's life.
I lightly place some ham on the sandwich I'm preparing for her as she excitedly gossips with me. I cleverly practice my active listening skills, while occasionally chiming in to let her know that I am actively aware of what she's saying. The woman is one of the last people to arrive during today's meal hour. She seems to operate on a sense of punctuality that is uniquely hers, almost like a force of nature. I almost admire it, if I'm being honest. My fellow volunteers look at me and smile as they sense the passive patience I radiate in this minor interaction.
The day has been one of the more chill ones in the soup kitchen, especially since I started actively championing the place. At our most busy we've served hundreds of families in a single day, and today we've served a few dozen. There's something quite nice about this moment of normalcy. I wonder if I sometimes took this level of mundanity for granted during this jump...
To be fair to myself a part of me is almost acting like I'm guaranteed to send myself to some apocalyptic hellscape and that's just not happening. I'm almost guaranteed to go to a place more dangerous than "9-5; a white-collar simulator", but I'm picking my next destination and after the decade of serenity I've had here I've got no reason to act like a dumbass and jeopardize my odds of long-term success in this career by sending myself to a death trap. Ms. Lopez smiles as she walks away, clearly believing she's shared vital chisme with me. To be fair, she did share gossip plenty of people would find juicy, but since I'm not some gossip I was the wrong audience for her words.
My fellow volunteers look at me and glance at my phone with curious looks. I pick up the thing and see that I've been missing an exhilarating conversation in our group chat. I skim the thing, my perfected memory allowing me to instantly catch up with the conversation the small gaggle of brave volunteers who kindly donate our weekend hours have been having before I begin to text the group back.
The rest of the day passes by in a blur. We wait for the people who've come for a meal to finish their food up and then we get to cleaning. After that we do a few sweeps of the parts of the church we've used before going our separate ways. I make my way home, and I do some light meal-prepping as well as practice a few more of my skills. At this point in my stay I've perfected my routine and could do it in my sleep... If I ever slept that is. In the entire time I've been in this setting I don't believe I've slept once. That is a nice feeling, since it means I never wasted an hour of my time, much less six.
The work week is a bit of a slog, since I am eagerly anticipating the news regarding my final promotion. I was never the sort to believe that time felt longer when you were excited about something, or dreading it, but in the time since I came to this setting I've gradually become a believer in such ideas even if they still feel a bit silly. Nonetheless. I diligently work through the week, keep my team on track, and when Friday rolls around I get the news I've waited for.
Thanks to "Gamer's Mind" I am able to keep my face even as the office's general supervisor explains this news to me and not outwardly express my excitement, but internally I am more excited than I've been about anything since I first entered this world. This news means that I'll be getting right around $3,000 dollars every two weeks just for existing! This means that in future jumps working will be optional unless I get really greedy, which frees me up to decide what I want to do in most modern settings. In medieval settings this amount of money could be even more vital, though at the same time such a thing could just... not matter, since in such a setting I could easily just avoid civilization, but this money will certainly liberate me from a lot of the struggles of wasting vast swathes of a jump at a job I don't want.
At the time that I was being told the good news I almost began to cry. Thank goodness for Gamer's Mind, I guess.
Nine years ago I was down on my luck and down to my last dollars when I got the job offer that led me here and this news means that I am free from such things. The freedom and power that comes with making enough to get by, especially passively, is awe-inspiring, and it's quite difficult for me to find the words to express how excited it makes me feel even days after it. I spend... close to a week passively smiling and being just ambiently happy, as I begin to integrate a new set of responsibilities into my work life.
During this time my decision to fix the coffee machine in the office break-room by hand after it almost burns a colleague results in me getting a new class; "Handyman" and the initial ability I receive is a simple one that bolsters my agility a touch, agility being my attribute tied to fine motor skills. I skillfully use this class to actually fix various things by hand, and I begin to steadily accrue various maintenance skills. In days I gain class levels, and with each class level I am able to repair things faster, more cheaply, and eventually my ability to fix matures into an ability to improve things, which I instinctively know will lead to some shenanigans down the line. Before I know it days have turned into weeks, which age and turn into months. My skills with leadership and motivation have continued to improve and I lead my team with my full focus and skillful decision-making. Before I know it I am in the final leg of the final stretch of my first jump.
I've been here for 119 months. Nine years and eleven months. It's actually been... even longer than that. I'm at the beginning of the final week of my stay here, and my hands idly clean a dish as I passively listen to Pastor Charlie, one of the few guest pastors the church has invited in years deliver a sermon. He has the congregants enraptured and eating out of the palm of his hand as he speaks about a miracle that "Our Lord" once performed. His voice is a pleasant distraction and one of my twin trains of thought listens and takes notes on how the man delivers his sermon. Physically I seem to be engrossed in the man's sermon when someone, one of the church's assistants, taps on my shoulder and gestures for me to walk over to the pastor's office. I stealthy get up, activating "Rogue" and make my way out of the serving area adjacent to the kitchen. I relax a touch when I'm in the long hallway leading me to Tyler's, Pastor Rhodes's, office.
As I walk down the humble hallway I feel a strange sense of finality wash over me. There's something uncommonly... real about this trek. I feel more solid, more whole than I have in a while, and I suspect that it's because this is my last time in this soup kitchen, this church. I won't be returning here, at least not for a while, and that's sad. It's not the saddest thing that's ever happened to me, but it is kind of a bummer and I allow myself to feel a touch of real, genuine sadness at the sobering realization that when I leave this place I'll be leaving for a long time.
I eventually put that thought away, shelving it and compartmentalizing my thoughts so I can focus on better, happier things. My enhanced senses allow me to spot things like faint cracks too thin for normal humans to spot, and as I walk past them I cast my handy spell on them. I watch as the walls of the hallway repair themselves and I smile, sensing the powerful potential of the spell at my fingertips. I reach the office of the man I've spent plenty of weekends working alongside, and under, and I smile, even internally, when he looks up and spots me. He greets me with a smile and motions for me to sit down. When I do what he asks, he immediately begins to speak.
"Lucas, I apologize for calling out to you but I wanted to check in. Today you seemed... Out of it." The man exclaims, and judging from the way my heart jumps in my chest I realize that some people are just.... more intuitive than others. My acting skill gets a nice little load of experience when I mask my reaction to his words and let out a small, natural sounding laugh in response to his question.
"Tyler," I begin, causing the man to wince. I'm an atheist, or at least I was pre-chain, now... well, now I'm a lot more curious about religion than I was before. I'm not sure if gods exist, but I sure as shit know the supernatural does and I'm not in the business of denying what I can see. I've made my vague religious position clear to the man long ago so he insists I call him "Tyler" which I've personally always found a bit awkward, but there's something a little funny about how it disarms him so cleanly during this interaction. "I'm doing... Okay. I AM bummed I won't be here next week." I state, calmly. This causes my friend's eyes to widen in surprise.
"You're missing a week? I'm sure some of our regulars will be disappointed. Is everything alright?" The man asks. His question is so sincere, so genuine that it's mildly disarming.
I'm... not a nice person. I'm far from mean, sure, but I've come to accept that there's a core of kindness in some people, even in many people, and I am not someone who has that core, that central, unconscious, guiding light that moves them towards kindness with the ease and naturalness of a heartbeat. At my core rests something else, something I don't know if I can articulate in just a few words.
I wouldn't say I'm mean or anything like that but I'm far more cynical than a lot of the people I've met are. In this world, especially, it seems like a lot of people are just decent at heart and I suspect that that was and is the case in the world I was born on as well. Tyler is one of the people I've met whose central guiding light seems to be centered around decency and kindness and I think in any world the man could find himself in he'd strive to be kind. It's almost like interacting with a real version of Ned Flanders from The Simpsons...
"I'm okay. I'm gonna be doing other stuff, and I normally prioritize the soup kitchen over my work or social life," I state, and this isn't a flex it's simply a very true statement. Tyler hears the remark and smiles faintly. "But I've been asked to help out with other stuff from friends who wouldn't ask if it wasn't something they really felt they could handle alone. I'm just gonna miss one weekend, and then I'll be back." I remark, and Tyler smiles at me.
"Okay Lucas. If you need any help you'd ask, right?" Tyler asks, and I consider the question. This is only somewhat an act, as I don't know if I'd ask for help if I needed it. I ultimately nod at the man and I can sense a touch of sadness as he studies my response, which I don't love but I also don't really feel right lying anymore than is necessary. The man makes some small talk and I quickly breeze through it. In minutes I am back in the kitchen with the others. And minutes after that I am cleaning with my fellow volunteers. Almost before I know it I'm stepping out of the church after we've cleaned out the kitchen. I glance at it one last time before I make my way home.
The next few days pass by in a blur, with only two minor oddities; the first being that I ask Hannah to come out with me on Friday night. I have got to see if I can stomach the idea of any sort of romance in a jump, and this is a consequence free way for me to do something along those lines. The second oddity is that I spend nearly all of my money purchasing... well, everything. Every night after work I go to various stores and spend the money that I really haven't needed all that much until now, purchasing things like weapons, food, and especially books. I buy boatloads of books, both ready and willing to use up something I won't be able to take with me into future jumps anyway in exchange for stuff I CAN take with me, thanks to the fiat-backed power of an infinite inventory.
The work week is, aside from what I do after work every night, pretty normal but Friday itself is weirdly solemn. The day passes by as quickly as any other day has, filled with minor encounters with glitches, and a few more annoyances with my small number of drawbacks but when five rolls around I clock out one last time and give the office a final look. I am weirdly slow when it comes to getting up and leaving my cubicle, in fact I'm actually one of the last office workers to leave the office but as I step out of the building I experience another burst of gratitude to Gamer's Mind, which keeps me from acting odd or even tearing up as I glance back at the place I've spent thousands of hours in.
I allow myself a beat to... honestly, grieve. I tell myself that it's okay to have feelings about leaving, even if those feelings are big and weird and are not the most fun. Nonetheless I don't linger here, at my place of employment, I have other things I both need and want to do. I use my inventory and change into a pretty casual outfit before I begin a brief walk. _________________________________________________________________________
​The park beside the office building is a rare example of a pristine location in the city. It is filled with natural greenery, and at the moment a stunningly pretty redhead glances at her phone waiting for someone to pop into view.
The redhead is wearing a pleasant looking dress and a jacket, as the weather is just beginning to take the seasonal turn towards the unpleasant. It's still warm enough that the clothes are mostly unnecessary but as she waits for her friend, a young man who has finally gotten the courage to ask her out on something vaguely approximating a date, she appreciates the wisdom of her decision to wear the slightly warmer than necessary clothes.
Her "date", mostly in her eyes though he is aware of her feelings and a part of him feels some happiness in the idea that this is a date, enters the park and spots her before she spots him. He reaches into his inventory and he retrieves something, a nice little bouquet he purchased earlier today and safely stored away. The flowers, prettily packed and all, appear as he walks towards the young woman.
Lucas is testing the waters here. He isn't testing the waters with Hannah specifically, but rather what it feels like to go on a date as a jumper. He has long had strange feelings about this, but he knows that he is going to leave tomorrow and so he wants to see if he can enjoy a date as a jumper, so he is doing a scientific experiment even if he feels... less than great about some aspects of all of this.
"Hannah!" Lucas says, calling out to one of his first, in fact one of his only, real friends in this world. The redhead excitedly turns and spots her longtime friend, waving at him and waving him over. She spots the bouquet and lets out a delighted sounding laugh, and when Lucas hears it the smile that alights his features is heartwarming.
In his day to day life some facets of Lucas's charisma-heavy build only rarely surface in ways that matter and his looks tends to be one such thing He is attractive enough that his looks can captivate and reside in one's imagination for a while after they first meet him, but right now, this early on along his chain his looks are only enough to make people have schoolgirl crushes on him and people can and do get used to his looks after a while. Still, in some moments this is enough to color the impression he makes on people. Right now, in a romantic context, his supernatural attractiveness is enough to change the sort of impression he makes on someone.
The handsome actor reaches his friend and sits down next to her. He hands her the flowers and for a moment a strange serenity washes over the two as they enjoy each other's company. Lucas looks inward and he realizes that he genuinely, well and truly, likes this moment. Hannah looks at him and eventually asks an important question.
"Lucas... how am I gonna hold these flowers?" She asks, and this makes him smile. He is quick to offer her a response.
"I'll take them when we get going but I saw them and I thought of you. I felt like I'd regret it if I didn't give you these." He says, and there is an odd, for him, level of sincerity and genuineness in his voice that makes Hannah giggle girlishly. Lucas right now is relying on his perk-enhanced instincts and the charisma he has honed through social encounters for the last decade, and he's enjoying how it feels.
Both of the figures on the "Date", though neither of them officially dubbed it that, enjoy the moment. Their passive delight and infatuation create an envy-inducing atmosphere of closeness and quiet joy that radiates outward. The park is nearly abandoned so there is no one to witness this moment other than Lucas's benefactor, and Lucas is simply at peace.
Eventually he lightly touches Hannah's hand, and asks her if she'd like to go and get dinner before they go to the movie they agreed on going to watch earlier this week. Hannah agrees, handing Lucas the bouquet and he, to her surprise, puts it in the bag he has on his person. When she asks if that will squish or hurt the flowers Lucas tells her, with a bizarre amount of confidence, that it won't. She eventually accepts this, having learned to trust that Lucas knows what he is doing, and the two of them begin a short walk to a mall they both know well.

Let me preemptively ask for forgiveness, this will be a bit of a rant. Please skip to the end for a link to the research this rant mostly pertains to.
I'm 34. I spent more nights than I could ever count throughout my childhood sleeping at the park and just staring at the sky. I never once wanted to teach physics, although I love when people are curious and wouldn't be against it. I never once wanted to be on tv as the 'now let's talk to astrophysicist xyz' guy. I did then and still do prefer to go unnoticed; I never wanted people to put me on some pedestal at a party because of the career I dreamed about having.
I just wanted to understand how the Universe works. I wanted to push societies understanding of the Universe forward and bring us all closer to the stars.
Where this rant is coming from
During my undergrad I was offered an incredible job opportunity that was truly once in a lifetime, so I took 5 years off to work abroad. Because of that I decided against a PhD and wound up working in software. I was reasonably happy with my career, but I always felt as if I wasn't contributing as much as I was capable of contributing to society. I enjoyed the problem solving, but I wanted to do something that mattered.
Two years ago an epiphany hit me. Einstein had made a massive assumption, and our observations are better described by a model in which that assumption is inaccurate. I began to focus more on formalizing a theory around this geometry, and not long after left my career in software behind. It has taken me 2 years to formalize this model to the extent that I was comfortable submitting it for publication.
This model both coincides with every single piece of experimental validation for existing interpretations of relativity, and makes multiple predictions that we have already confirmed through observation and/or experiment that SR and GR cannot account for. It yields a peculiar velocity that aligns with direct observation, produces a mechanism for the bullet cluster lensing effects, can explain the lack of gravitational aberration, and remedies multiple relativistic asymmetries and paradoxes... again... without a single conflicting prediction that would lend weight to existing models or the model being proposed. It requires far fewer modifications to pre-relativity theories than either SR or GR, and produces none of the asymmetries that fall directly out of current relativistic interpretations.
Despite all of that, I was just rejected for publication 3 times. The math is absolutely rock solid, it makes multiple verified predictions, and creates not a single conflicting prediction. Admittedly, it's an Annus Mariballus level of a leap, but that's what happens when the entire field sits still while they pose for talk shows for 80 years.
The fact that this paper, despite making incredible and verified predictions has been denied publication 3 times has everything to do with the fact that physicists have become celebrities. If you spend your entire career taking pride in the fact that your claims are mind bending and that you're one of the few that can actually grasp them, would you approve a paper that demonstrates just how wrong you've been? Physicists absolutely love to take experimental confirmation of a very specific part of a theory and extrapolate on that publicly, claiming that the experimental evidence proves far, far more than it actually does, and now the entire physics profession is incapable of moving forward due solely to their inability to admit they were wrong, and that their genius social status is completely unearned.
The human body is far more complex than the cosmos, yet medical doctors don't behave this way. Einstein's celebrity status has ruined physics, and ruined the career I dreamed about since I started sleeping at the park at 8 years old. That is not to say that it is Einstein's fault. He after all chased answers to the mysteries of the Universe; the celebrity just happened. The physics profession since then, however, has become completely full of people that live for this celebrity status. It is full of people that are completely driven by the acceptance of others, the praise of strangers, and the feeling that everyone else is looking at them and thinking about just how smart they are.
Trying to get people like that to approve a paper that demonstrates just how wrong they have been for their entire career is hopeless. Because of that, I'm releasing a note taking app I built over the course of my own research, and am publishing the paper there. I would encourage anyone that's interested to check it out here. Just go to the demo section if you're not actually interested in the app.
I've never been so conflicted about something in my life. On one hand, I'm more confident in this model than I am that I would fall to the floor if I were to walk off of the roof. I know it's just a matter of time until this reaches the right researcher. On the other, I'm aware of the damage this is going to do to the field that I've been drawn to my entire life. How much faith are people going to lose in physics when they realize the celebrities they listened to for the past 80 years took 10% experimental validation and filled in the remaining 90% with a wild guess, and portrayed it all as if it was a fact? They've destroyed academic physics to the extent that potentially ground breaking peer review is now relegated to online forums, so for-profit journals don't question the existing science that has led us straight into a dead end.

Thanks, Andrew

Let me give some backstory because there were 3 main “events” that led me to eventually ghosting this person. (Please forgive me, this may end up a little lengthy. Also, this wasn’t written as well as the first draft but that one got deleted)
Event #1: In high school, there were 4 of us that were really close. We will call them each, Diana, Julia, and Jack. Julia worshiped Diana. Diana could do no wrong in Julia’s eyes. Diana and Jack were a couple. They dated the majority of high school. All the way up to the summer before our senior year. Obviously, it was hard on the couple, but it was also difficult for ALL of their friends because we were expected to pick a side. Julia took Diana’s side, no questions and no doubts. It felt like I was the only one that wanted to remain neutral because I considered both Diana and Jack really good friends. Not just the typical, Jack was a friend because he was Diana’s boyfriend. Anyways, trying to remain neutral I gave support to both of them, the best I could. Jack confided in me that the reason he broke off the relationship was he had become overwhelmed by the drama Diana created. This made sense to me because Diana CRAVED drama. She created drama All. The. Time. (Looking back, I have no idea how I was friends with either of them. These friendships were just those friendships that some how… became and existed) The break up launched a series of dramatic situations created by Diana that escalated. These situations ended with Diana sleeping with a random guy from our school, 2 maybe 3 weeks after breaking up, and she ended up pregnant. The school year started up and as more kids found out about her pregnancy, the more rumors started going around. The biggest one – Jack was the father. Pregnant teens were absolutely not common in my high school. And Jack was being blamed for the situation Diana was in. Feeling empathy for my friend, I continued to be Jacks friend because most of his other friends were isolating him and giving him the cold shoulder. (To make it completely clear – Jack and I only felt friendship for each other, nothing more.) Julia hated that I was continuing to be Jacks friend. Julia accused me of betraying Diana and yelling at me for even talking to him - Jack: the one that got Diana pregnant. Julia said that she knew I couldn’t be trusted and was a horrible friend. The kicker? Julia and I knew who got Diana pregnant. Diana told us. Julia fed the rumors about Jack being the father, even though she knew the truth! For the sake of keeping the peace and adhering to the “Girl Code” I had to let the friendship with Jack dwindle to an occasional friendly wave in the hallway. A rift between Diana & Julia and myself grew regardless. The way they treated me began to change – talking down to me and keeping me out of conversations. I can guarantee they had conversations behind my back (as teenage girls do.) I can also guarantee Julia was the mastermind because Diana was too busy with the drama/attention of her pregnancy to notice anything or anyone else. I was already dealing with things at home and on top of it, had to maneuver the drama with my so called best friends. Julia doing this hurt so much because friends don’t do that. On top of it, I had a similar situation happen in middle school with a previous group of friends.
Event #2: (my main reason I don’t consider them a friend) Through Jr and Sr High school I had a crush mostly on one guy. There were other little crushes, but he was always the main one. We will call him Mark. Mark and I were actually really good friends. He was in a different friend group than Diana, Jack, and Julia. He and his friend welcomed me into their group when the drama was happening our senior year. Mark actually knew I had a crush on him. He was as kind as possible when he turned me down. Mark said he was committed to his own crush (who turned him down, saying she didn’t want to date in high school) Mark believed she was “the one” and was trying to not date anyone else as a sign of loyalty to her. Realizing Mark wasn’t going to change his mind, I had a hard time pretending and convincing myself I shouldn’t and didn’t have a crush on him. Doing so actually opened a door for Mark and I to become even closer friends. I hung out with him and his two guy friends a lot. Especially after we graduated high school. In fact, the majority of that calendar year, I basically didn’t spend any time with Diana and Julia. At the end of that year, the holiday season, all of the sudden Mark wasn’t hanging out with us as much. Our two friends told me he had a girlfriend. I assumed it was the girl he had a crush on. Especially because our friends said things like “he is picking up his girlfriend from the high school.” (his crush was the year behind us) a few weeks went by and it was almost Christmas. One of my friends was throwing a Christmas party, a bunch of us were invited. While I was hanging out in the front room with others, Mark came in through the front door, his girlfriend behind him. I couldn’t help but look in disbelief. His girlfriend wasn’t his crush, but was none other than Julia. Julia was also in the year behind us and was still going to school. Julia noticed me looking and as Mark turned away from her, she grabbed him, turned him back toward her and kissed him. I was already trying to tell myself it wasn’t a big deal. But then Julia, mid-kiss, looked straight at me. The kiss wasn’t very long but still. Some of you may argue that she was “concerned” about my reaction. But it was her grin and wave afterwards that told me Julia was gloating. Gloating that she was now dating the guy I had a crush on for years. And despite trying to deny it, I still had a crush on him. I left that friend group as well because I knew Julia was going to be there more often, which would inevitably ruin that group for me as well. I didn’t want to deal with the drama and hurt so I cut my losses.
Event #3: (the reminder event) A couple years later, Diana and Julia were married with kids. They had moved out of town, Julia even moved out of state. I got a message from Julia, sent to both Diana and I, asking if we would like to meet for lunch the next week because she (Julia) was coming into town to see family. As best as I could tell, Diana and Julia went their separate ways after we all graduated high school. For the sake of the friendship we once had, I agreed to meet. The day came, we get our food and sit down. They immediately start talking about their husbands and kids. Which is totally understandable, we were there to catch up. Thing is, I was still single – no kids, no husband. So I couldn’t add much to the conversation to relate and there wasn’t much of an opportunity to even ask questions. I finished my lunch while listening to them talk. At this point, 30-45 minutes went by and no one asked me how my life was going beyond the initial “How are you?!” when we first met up and got in line to order our food. Feeling very much like a third wheel, I wanted a chance to talk with my old friends. Finding an opportunity to organically get involved, I did so. I don’t remember what the conversation was about but I do remember I added to the conversation by saying something as simple as “Have you seen that movie yet?” Julia looked me dead in the eyes, said something specifically in response to my question and added “You aren’t even married or have a kid yet, you wouldn’t understand.” Diana laughed a little and added, “Not yet” They then continued to talk about their kids till it was decided we had been there long enough (a total of nearly 2 hrs) Today, I am married and have a kid of my own. I could talk about my kid all day long. But I don’t, because I considered it a basic social skill to be able to talk about other things. Especially to keep others involved in conversation. After this last situation, I was reminded of the way she treated me. So, I committed to keeping both, specifically Julia at a distance. At first Julia would try to convince me to visit her where she lived. Even after getting married. It eventually dwindled down to maybe 1 or 2 messages from her a year. Through all this time I give very minimal responses if Julia Facebook messages me.
I never confronted either of them about everything because I knew it would cause more drama that wasn’t worth dealing with.
So AITA?
Some of you may be looking for the petty. Well, to keep it short, Mark and I started dating 5 years after graduating high school. We have been together for 9 ½ years, married 7 ½ years, and have a beautiful 3yr old girl.
If you guys want an update on his experience dating Julia (he says it was the worse relationship he had) and how Mark and I ended up together, lmk!

Hiiii, so another newbie going crazy trying to start my journey of wealth haha. I’ve been going down these thread-rabbit holes learning things a woman is intimidated by - asking a man or simply just being vulnerable for wanting to know more. (pls don’t label me sexist, it’s just a man’s world 🤷🏾‍♀️)
I’ll eventually dive into my later learned insecurities but my biggest question as of now is related to my old 401k that’s been sitting for approx 7 years, I think. I started it when I was 18/19 but only worked for the company for a year. It’s pretty measly, but collecting a little something over the years. I can’t really complain.
I keep wondering what are my options for it and I’m hoping this one can work. I’m aware of the penalties for certain withdrawals, but would transferring an inactive 401k into a newly opened IRA be considered, a penalty? I’m hoping I can use it as a first deposit into an IRA instead of conjoining it with my current 401k I recently started with my new company.
Side note: I tried transferring it when I first got my job but it required some extra steps to get an approval and… sadly, I never got to it. :/

Hello, I’m 24 years old and recently I finally understood what had been happening to me all my life, what kind of sensations I experienced and why I didn’t understand much of what people do.
I recently found out that I have Asperger’s syndrome in its pronounced form, and honestly, at first I didn’t understand how my loved ones and those who surrounded me all my life simply didn’t notice this, but then I also learned about this, about masking.
I took a separate masking test, which I think showed a fairly high score, where I had to choose between true or false and there were statements such as:
-I watch my body language and facial expressions to appear relaxed.
-I will repeat phrases that I have heard from others, just as I heard them for the first time.
-In social situations, I feel like I am “performing” rather than being myself.
-In my social interactions, I use behaviors that I have learned from watching other people interact.
-I train my facial expressions and body language to make them look natural.
I noted exactly these questions because this is exactly what I did when I was among people, that is, almost always, I realized that NTs do not do this consciously and it happens naturally to them, I also do not understand human emotions and do not understand when they are shown others, they don't use the resources to do it the way I do it, after which I'm exhausted and need rest.
But now that it’s clear to me what’s wrong with me, I can’t appear in public and can’t leave the room for weeks, it seems to me that people look at me as if I’m naked in the middle of the street. It seems to me that I have lost the mask that I always wore and I don’t understand how to put this mask back on and at the same time I don’t understand whether I want to put it on again, because all the time I wore it I suffered and felt pain. But even without her, it seems to me that I will not be able to live normally.
I think that the word PAIN is more suitable to describe what I am experiencing than the word DISCOMFORT which means that something is wrong but it can be tolerated, in the case of the first word it means that you cannot tolerate it for a long time, which means that you need to stop do what you do. It seems to me that human language is not able to convey what autistic people experience; it seems to be completely unsuited to make another person different from you understand what you are experiencing.
Therefore, it seems to me that isolation is the best way out.

My boyfriend emotionally cheated on me with a girl from a dating app, he took her out on a date and took her back to his apartment. They didn’t sleep together that’s why I called it emotional cheating. I took the girls Snapchat and asked her questions and she said she thought he had a girlfriend with all the stuff in his apartment, but she never reached out to me we have pictures up and he’s tagged. She said she blocked him and he has now permanently deleted all of his social media besides Facebook. Everyone says I need to break up with him, but I’m almost positive he is having a manic episode with how he is acting. He is not medicated or officially diagnosed, but ive been around people that has bi-polar and it’s not far off from what he is acting. It’s always an emotional roller coaster with him when he gets episodes he’s just never have done any of this. I figured he was cheating because he spends all of his days off with me and he was being weird about a certain day off he had and I told him I was gonna go through his phone and I still found the texts on Snapchat. It’s just the carelessness and the lack of any kind of emotions and the impulsiveness he randomly out of know where got a 2 month old kitten when he works 12 hour shifts he does 4 days on and 2 days off I had to take the last cat he got almost 9 months ago because we both decided that his schedule wasn’t working and having to care for a kitten just wasn’t working. He told me he feels like he’s in a fog and is depressed and has no emotions, he’s usually a pretty emotional person. He has autism, mostly with reading people he struggles with that. I’ve been with him since my freshman year in college and he’s had a couple episodes, but he’s never cheated. I’m just upset because i literally do not know if I should stay or leave. I don’t have trust for him and I literally only cry and stay in bed, I took off work because I’m so emotional, but I don’t have bi-polar so I have a hard time. he said he’s scheduling an appointment some time this week, but I can’t tell if he is in control of his actions when he is manic like this. Everyone keeps telling me he knows what he’s doing, but i or them don’t have bi-polar. He says we need to take a break because he needs to focus on getting help and building a relationship back up right now is not something he can do right now. which is hard, but it’s true. He at first said he is sick of hurting me and we need to break up, which I didn’t want to do because this isn’t him, or I don’t think it is. After talking I told him you don’t get to decide anything when you’re like this after getting an appointment set up with a therapist and a doctor we can talk after that and he agreed, but he wants to do it alone. It’s just so frustrating, because I literally don’t know anything anymore is this him or is this not him because I literally can’t tell.
Sorry for the long rant. This is a throw away account btw.

My mom got an extremely abnormal text message from a close family friend (I’ll call her Jennifer) at 5AM saying she was leaving to Mexico to see her father and asking her to watch 2 of her 3 children at her home overnight/indefinitely. What’s weird is that:

• The message was all in English which my mom checked and she’d never written to my mom in English. Jennifer posts on Facebook in English sometimes because she’s a runner with many English speaking friends, but I know she speaks Spanish whenever she has the option.
• She never mentioned this to my mom or anyone.
• She’s only ever gone to Mexico once before to be a bridesmaid in a wedding near her father, but never went again after that.
• She doesn’t have the money for this and is typically very frugal. She’s a divorced single mother of 3. 2 of the 3 children have had mental issues, some severe that have cost her a lot to treat.
• She’s estranged from much of her family and her relationship with her ex husband is very poor. She coparents neutrally but he’s shown consistent animosity towards her.
• She hasn’t asked my mom to watch her kids in over 10 years. The two in her home are adults or near adulthood.

I’ve been digging as much as I could and this is what I’ve found from messages to my mom and social media without tipping off her kids that we’re concerned.

• The messages went from long and in English to short and in Spanish. They give surface level context-appropriate info about her family. Just enough to seem like her or someone who she was acquainted with.
• A note was written on her calendar at home saying she’d be back from Mexico in 10 days.
• She dates somewhat actively, but has never brought a man around her kids. However, she has had one man over to the house at some point in the past when her kids were not around.
• She made a Facebook post a day ago. It had a slight grammatical error in English, but seemed to portray her sharing that she’d gone to the zoo with her son for his birthday. However, her daughter told my mother that they’d actually gone on Sunday and he went with his father. Jennifer wasn’t there.

This is the big one for me that I need someone to either confirm my line of thinking on or tell me I’m being dumb…

• She posted a story on her Facebook at the Dallas Fort Worth, Texas airport showing a number of delayed flights, claiming that her flight was delayed as well. The delay times shown in the picture makes sense in our time zone, however that airport is two hours ahead. If the photo was posted right, when it was taken, the times shown for other delayed flights would have already passed in the airport’s time zone.

There’s more but basically everything about this occurrence is abnormal. Nothing is typical of her.
If there’s any chance this is real, what do we do??? I fully intend to call the cops if substantial confirmatory contact isn’t made in the next day or two, but I don’t know how to handle interactions with her children or further text messages that are still being sporadically responded to.
Any and all advice is extremely appreciated. I’m hoping so bad that this isn’t what it feels like but I don’t want to make a wrong move if there’s any chance something bad is happening.

I burned a lot of money just to get it but whatever, I finally got it. Now, the question is what goes well with it? My current burly beast set has Macho Mann and Das guttenkuttenharen, but I think there are other options out there too, so I'm curious what your guy's thoughts are.
On a side note, now my old medic loadouts are completely sidelined. I burned like 70 bucks for this cosmetic so I will no longer be using my other sets. Rip.

Was forced to buy a new car and the excise tax bill came in, selling some tech to pay that bill but mostly cuz it's tech I'm not using.
