Hey everyone. My partner and I are planning on moving and received a residential rental agreement in Wisconsin from a potential landlord, however, it is quite a bit different than the standard WI residential lease agreements that we have received in the past. A TurboTenant template was used and modified to generate the lease. We are looking for some quick advice on whether or not the following language / clauses should be of concern to us as tenants:
1) “Landlord shall have the right at all reasonable times during the term of this agreement to enter the Property for the purpose of inspecting and exhibiting the Property and all buildings and improvements thereon. In non-emergency situations, Landlord will make a good faith effort to notify Tenants at least 24 hours prior to entry by one of the following methods: telephone message, email message, or door hanger, and having made such good faith effort shall enter as necessary. In emergency situation, or of a repair is requested by the Tenants, Landlord is permitted to enter immediately without prior notice.”
2) “Tenants are required to notify the Landlord in writing of any anticipated absence from the Property in excess of 7 days and shall make arrangements for the Property to be routinely checked on during the absence. Such written notice must be provided no later than the first day of such absence. Landlord may enter the Property at any time for any reasonable purpose during Tenants’ absence.”
3) “Tenants are hereby notified that a negative credit report statement may be submitted to a credit reporting agency if Tenants fail to fulfill the terms if this Lease Agreement”
4) “The Tenants are entrusted with the care and maintenance of the rented Property during the term of the lease. Specifically, the Tenants are responsible for promptly addressing minor maintenance tasks and repairs that arise in the course of occupancy. These tasks may include, but are not limited to:
a. Routine cleaning and upkeep of the interior of the Property, including floors, walls, and fixtures.
b. Please be mindful that the kitchen is fitted with laminate flooring. To prevent any potential expansion, we kindly ask that you ensure the floor remains dry at all times. Promptly attending to any spills or moisture will help preserve the condition of the flooring material.
c. Regular replacement of light bulbs, and air filters, as needed.
d. Minor repairs to plumbing fixtures, such as fixing leaks or clearing clogs caused by normal usage.
e. The rental unit is equipped with a range, over-the-range microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator, washer, and dryer for the convenience of Tenants. It is the responsibility of Tenants to ensure the proper maintenance, care, and cleanliness of these appliances throughout the duration of the tenancy. Tenants are responsible in reporting any malfunctions to the Landlord in a timely manner.
f. Proper disposal of trash and recycling in accordance with local regulations.
g. The Tenants are responsible for upholding cleanliness standards around the Property, including ensuring that no items are left outside and discouraging loitering on the Property. It is expected that the Tenants take proactive measures to maintain the tidiness and appearance of the Property at all times.
h. Tenants are not permitted paint anything including but not limited to walls, ceiling, cabinets or any Property.
i. Tenants shall maintain proper humidity to not facilitate growth of mold or mildew.
j. Tenants are allowed to hang pictures, clocks, and other decorative items on the walls of the rental unit. However, it is important to note that all decorations must be removed and the walls restored to their original condition upon the termination of the Lease Agreement. This includes filling any holes or damages caused by hanging the items. Failure to return the walls to their original state may result in deductions from the security deposit or additional charges for repair and restoration.
k. The Tenants agree to maintain the lawn and landscaping of the Property in a neat and orderly condition throughout the term of the lease, which includes regular mowing, watering, weeding, and trimming of grass, shrubs, and trees. The Tenants are responsible for providing all necessary equipment and materials for lawn maintenance unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by the Landlord. If the Tenants are unable or unwilling to perform lawn maintenance, the Landlord reserves the right to arrange for professional lawn care services at the Tenant's expense. The Tenants shall promptly report any lawn care issues or concerns to the Landlord for resolution. Furthermore, the Tenants agree to ensure that the lawn and landscaping are maintained in accordance with local ordinances and regulations to prevent fines or penalties imposed by the city or relevant authorities.
l. Tenants take responsibility of snow maintenance during winter months and agrees to ensure the safe passage and usability of driveways on the Property. This includes promptly arranging for snow removal and salting or sanding of walkways and driveways following snowfall or icy conditions. The Tenants agree to assist in snow maintenance efforts by promptly reporting any snow or ice accumulation that poses a safety hazard to the Landlord for prompt resolution.
m. Tenants shall not keep on the Property any item of a dangerous, flammable, or explosive character that might unreasonably increase the danger of fire or explosion on the Property, or that might be considered hazardous or extra hazardous by any responsible insurance company.”
Apologies for the length. Thanks in advance!

Long ranty post
I (17F) have sort of learned that if I want to be taken seriously by my father (54) at all I need some sort of drastic action or mental breakdown to happen so I've decided to go on hunger strike until I get taken seriously.
My mother (50) isn't particularly mean towards me anymore anymore however she picks fights with me very regularly and I'm supposed to act calm whenever she does it. I feel like she doesn't like me and I often cry about it. During my early teens she was very homophobic towards me. I came out as not straight when I was 14 (my dad literally outed me because he believes that we "should have no secrets") and my mother's response to that was "why? You used to be so feminine." For around a year after this she was very openly homophobic towards me and my dad just brushed it off as my mother is from a different culture and therefore we should accept her opinions. She's fine now and has tried hard to show it by saying things like "any boyfriends you get-- or girlfriends I suppose." And awkward shit like that. The problem is that due to the way she used to be and the fact that we fight quite regularly she's become the voice of shame in my head, whenever im hurting and thinking lowly of myself, its her. I experience a lot of deep internalised homophobia and kind of hate myself. This is my throwaway account where I whine and sob about my life and half of the posts are about shame and wanting to kms so I'm not really in a good state tbh. I think due to my mother being that voice in my head, i feel like she's become the gaze over my life and my opinions on her are likely harsher than warrantied. I've even on occasion fabricated ideas that "bet she'd have" even though I know she probably wouldn't. (E.g "I can't believe I travelled all the way across the world only for my daughter whom I struggled so much to have to be a fucking queer. I'm so glad I have a son so I can forget about her ASAP.")
I've basically taken the negative feelings I have towards her due to our fighting and let my brain write fanfiction about it.
Anyway. Back to taking drastic measures in order to get taken seriously. Me and my mother have been fighting a lot lately and the fact that my father attributes a lot of our issues to us "being too similar" really irritates me because he clearly doesn't understand. I've tried to explain the shame I feel due to some of her past actions and the way it's been impacting me to him but he always ignores whatever I've just said and talks about something else (e.g "how could you feel all this just because she topic of latest argument?)
I've learned that I don't get change or taken seriously at all unless I do something drastic like skipping school until my dad finds out and then letting my emotions out. Running away and then coming home and letting my emotions out. Getting into a fight and then going home to get my emotions out. Opening the car door and trying to get out and then crying and explaining whatever has been bothering me to him. I cant just ask for things, I have to scare him first, or else I won't get listened to. Me and my dad aren't equals until I do something crazy.
My latest thing has been starving myself. He isn't taking me seriously yet but I hope he will if I get myself really sick or refuse dinner enough times.
Onto the main questions of the post. Does anyone here think this is narcicistic? I'm worried it is. Afterall, this is me being manipulative and harming myself to get my way.
OK bye 👍

I am in a job/career that pays well but I am so bored all of the time. I don't feel like I am learning anything new other than soft skills and how to manage sometimes annoying personalities. I have about 10 years of experience.
I have an opportunity to take a similar job in the same industry, for slightly more pay (probably 10% bump to go). I would be sacrificing a lot of 'trust' and reputational capital I've acquired over the years, possibly for little change in circumstances. On the other hand, much like investing in a diversified portfolio, maybe trying something 'slightly' different is the key to unlocking new potential.
What do you think? Would you take a semi-lateral change in jobs just to try a different company? Or is this too big a risk given high salary and reputation?
Some additional facts if helpful:
Salary well over 100k with generous bonus and RRSP match. Statistician in consulting, within an overall company that doesn't really value statisticians outside of my business unit.

I thought it would be a fun idea to write out my headcanons for the other, unmentioned settlements/cities in the New California Republic. As a SoCal native, I thought it would also be fun seeing how some notable cities in the region would look in the fallout universe. I’ve only included places in Southern California because I honestly don’t have too much detailed knowledge about central/northern CA cities.
I tried fitting it in with the lore at the time of New Vegas in 2281, but there might be a few mistakes here and there.

San Diego Area

-Camp Pendleton: Controlled by one of the largest Raider groups of SoCal, cutting off entry to the San Diego area from the 5 Freeway. Uses restored Vertiberds, Power Armor, and APCs left over by the Marines after the war. Because of this, they are an extremely valuable target for the Brotherhood of Steel, though they have not launched a full-scale attack due to fears of high casualties. This, along with manpower shortages in the region due to the the situation in the Mojave, has prevented the NCR from conducting operations as well. Many in the San Diego area have discussed creating a temporary alliance between Settlers/NCR, the BOS, and the Temecula Super Mutants, though the feasibility of that seems a bit low.
-Escondido: Settlement located along the former 15 freeway and acts as a trade settlement on the way to San Diego. Population: 400. Facing raider attacks from nearby Camp Pendleton and feeling like they’ve been failed by the NCR, some local leaders have considered asking the Temecula Super Mutants to assist in a joint assault on the camp. Population: 500.
-San Diego: Though one of the founding states of the New California Republic, San Diego, now known as Dayglow, is severely underfunded and underdefended compared to other States. Some say this is because of its distance from the capital, others says its because of continued discriminiation towards Ghouls and Super Mutants who helped found the settlement. Despite this, it still operates as a thriving scrap hub and exports many of the materials used by NCR soldiers, vehicles, and machinery. Many smaller settlements still exist in areas farther from downtown, the most major of which include El Cajon, Chula Vista, and Miramar. The latter is the main NCR facility in the area, and has been requesting additional support from Shady Sands to help defeat the Camp Pendleton Raiders. Though having the threat of Raiders in the northwest as well as threats of increased radiation exposure from the Glow in the northeast, many of these settlements are some of the most advanced in the NCR due to the pre-war governance and technology maintained by the descendants of Vault 72. Located near Balboa Park, Vault 72 is the only known vault in the area. Though initially an experiment vault, like Vault 81 in the Commonwealth, its operations were cut short, in this case after a mutiny against the scientists and Overseer by the inhabitants, many of whom were Ex-military due to the Vault’s close distance to the San Diego Navy Yards. For the next century and a half, Vault 72 acted as a control vault. Eventually, its systems started to fail, and many of its inhabitants exited the vault in search of new settlements, bringing the technology and infrastructure found in the vaults with them. As the New California Republic expands, there have been rumors among NCR soldiers about restoring some of the abandoned Navy ships in the former San Diego harbor, though nothing has been completely confirmed. The Brotherhood of Steel also seeks to acquire former military technology in the area, but has been unable to do so.

Inland Empire

-Riverside: Home to “Rubidoux,” a mid-sized NCR town with a population of about 1,000. Located on the base of Mt. Rubidoux. The Mission Inn, located in the former downtown, is now utilized as an NCR armory and base. Possible plans to rebuild more of downtown have been discussed by local leaders, but not implemented. Vault 54 is located near Rubidoux on the base of Box Springs Mountain. It is a rare control vault with around 800 living citizens, and has been frequently trading with the nearby Rubidoux settlement since its opening in around 2245.
-San Bernardino: Took the most nuclear strikes out of all cities in SoCal’s Inland Empire during the Great War. Due to this, Feral Ghoul encounters are common in the area, though their population has been dwindling in recent years due to Rubidoux settlers and NCR forces slowly clearing up the area, mainly to help caravans from the area safely travel the 215 freeway to reach high desert settlements.
-Temecula: Reclaimed by former Master Super Mutants into a small settlement, population of 50. Do not mind caravans using the former 15 freeway that goes through the city to reach the San Diego area.
-Hemet: Thriving farm town. Decently isolated from the SoCal sprawl, Hemet is relatively sleepy and peaceful. Supplies a decent amount of crops to the IE region. Nothing really interesting about it besides that. Population: 300.

Desert Regions

-Idyllwild: Used as a training ground for NCR soldiers due to its isolation in the mountains.
-Palm Springs: Run by the remnants of the Agua-Caliente, Cabazon, and Morongo Native American Tribes. Due to its strategic prominence, being south of the Mojave and west of Arizona, as well as its proximity to the Idyllwild training grounds and routes to Shady Sands, it has become popular with many NCR higher-ups, many of whom own second homes in the town. Population: 1,000. Vault 93: Located in the foothills of the San Jacinto Mountains. Experimental vault studying the effects of celebrity influence. A dozen celebrities were selected among the 900 civilians who entered the vault, where factions aligning with each of them divided up the leadership inside. No holotapes have been found showing what happened next, though it is to assume that whatever played out led to Vault 93 being opened and vacated. Though considered by the NCR to be repurposed, it sits abandoned, now silently overlooking the Sonoran wastes.

Orange County

-Huntington Beach: Inhabited by the descendants of the Children of the Cathedral, who founded a settlement in what was Huntington Beach after the destruction of the Cathedral in Long Beach and the end of the Unity project in 2162. Though they tend to keep to themselves, there are still some devout Unity believers who kidnap caravans travelling along the former 405 freeway in order to adopt them into the cult and keep the population afloat (They don’t have any FEV to make Super Mutants). Population: 100.
-Irvine: Largely an NCR base centered around the former John Wayne Airport, though there are a decent amount of civilians who have set up shop to cater to the large soldier population. The 452nd Battalion is stationed at the airport, though their numbers have dwindled due to transfers to the Mojave. This has made them unable to respond to the Camp Pendleton Raiders. Population (including soldiers): 2,000.
-San Clemente: A “Ghoul only” settlement ran by wealthy pre-war Ghouls who maintain the area. Despite the exclusivity, it has maintained a population of over 1,000 mainly by bringing in other Ghouls from Orange County and the surrounding area. Mainly keeps to themselves though they accept caravans for trade, though less have been showing up due to the threat of the Camp Pendelton Raiders.

We're in the process of renewing our homeowner's insurance policy, and we're faced with a decision between Enhanced Replacement Coverage and Guaranteed Replacement Coverage. Currently, we have guaranteed replacement coverage, ensuring that regardless of the cost to rebuild our house in the event of a total loss, it would be covered.
However, we're contemplating whether Enhanced Replacement Coverage might be a better option. This type of coverage would pay up to a specified percentage above the stated amount, providing additional protection. Our home is relatively simple, and we're aiming to avoid over-insuring, but we also want to ensure there's no gap in coverage should a disaster strike.
One concern we have is regarding the recommended amount per square foot if we opt for enhanced replacement cost. We're also factoring in the need to replace our roof eventually, especially considering wind and hailstorms in our area.
Furthermore, we're apprehensive about potentially needing to make a claim in the future and losing our guaranteed coverage. The cost difference between the two options is approximately $700 per year, which adds another layer to our decision-making process.
Any advice or insights on the recommended amount per square foot for enhanced replacement cost, experiences with similar coverage decisions, or considerations we might be overlooking would be greatly appreciated.

As the title states- I just need to vent a little. I (27F) was seeing him (31M) for 3, almost 4 months. He seemed genuinely interested in me and was consistent with wanting to see me. I spent the night at his place. We had a similar sense of humor which I loved and we shared tik toks with each other a lot.
I did have some doubts about the relationship because we did have different communication and outing preferences, but we talked about it and agreed we liked each other and would try to make it work.
Our last day together was last Wednesday and we agreed to date exclusively. Then I went with him to adopt his dog! He was excited and said he wanted to see me again soon. He asked me Friday night if he could see me on Sunday. Sent me a meme Saturday morning. But he never replied to any of my texts on Saturday, or Sunday. By Monday morning I was blocked.
I know I'll be okay, but I am sad. I feel worthless because I genuinely cared about him as a person and thought we would be good friends if anything. It’s so confusing because in our last conversation in person AND text, he said he wanted to see me. Thank you to whoever reads this! I would love to hear from anyone who has dealt with something similar

I'm not particularly lonely, for the most part, I'm fine being alone. I have finger friends, that is the amount you can count on your fingers (2-3). However, I don't even talk to them daily, let alone do they know me well enough to give you an accurate assessment, especially of my mental state. I've been for the past year or two talking to two people in my head, but mostly in my dreams. These two people are people that I've known in real life quite well and led to a myriad of different watershed moments that changed my life forever. I've only ever told one person about a singular one and they told me it sounded like the plot to a movie. Which is kinda cool, but mostly sad. I don't know how to move on partly and it's led to me isolating myself for better or for worse.
If any of yall want to just talk or hear the story I'm writing about based on these actual events lmk!

What are your favorite trails to run in WI? I'm preparing for a 10k trail run at Pike Lake in August and currently running some of the trails in Kettle Moraine. I'm looking to hit some different trails around the state and would definitely be open to traveling as well!

So I'd avoided creating an NYT account for forever because (like others) I'd had issues with it occasionally doing weird things with stats, and this way I could fix it by tweaking the local storage on my device. Sadly they now force you to use an account to see your stats (not, it turns out, to store them) - and doubly sadly my phone had a freak out when I finished a puzzle with no connection, and reset my streak. So I decided to play around to see if I could restore it.
TLDR: When you load Wordle it stores your stats in a key in your browser's local storage (and the game state in another). If you edit these and edit the timestamp in the key to be the current time (or maybe just any time that is newer than the server version, not sure), when you refresh it will update the server copy to match these rather than the other way around. If you don't edit the timestamp, it will overwrite the local copy with the server version instead.
Caveat: this is based on some pretty patchy testing so it's possible not all of the statements will hold up, but hopefully it's helpful anyway if others are tearing their hair out about losing their streak or stats because of an NYT glitch!

Wordle's local storage keys

If you view the local storage when you've got Wordle open on a desktop, you'll see a bunch of keys (press F12 in Chrome/Chromium-based browser (eg Edge) or Firefox, then click Application (Chrome) or Storage (Firefox) and choose local storage). Relevantly we are looking for these two keys:

• wordle-legacy-stats-xxxxxxx
• games-state-wordleV2/xxxxxxx

xxxxxxx is a string of numbers that I guess corresponds to a user ID. If you've played without an account, that'll be ANON instead. If you've signed in with multiple accounts, you'll probably have a few of these with different ID numbers, so you'll need to work out which one corresponds to the account you want to fix.
wordle-legacy-stats, as its name suggests, stores your stats. games-state-wordleV2 saves the current game state (eg what guess you're up to and what words you've guessed so far). The set of stats are also embedded within the games-state-wordleV2 key, but as far as I can tell you can ignore that and it'll update itself to reflect whatever's in the wordle-legacy-stats one.

Updating stats

wordle-legacy-stats will look something like this:

{{"gamesPlayed":100,"gamesWon":100,"guesses":{"1":10,"2":20,"3":20,"4":20,"5":20,"6":10,"fail":0},"currentStreak":100,"maxStreak":100,"lastWonDayOffset":1061,"hasPlayed":true,"autoOptInTimestamp":1234567890123,"hasMadeStatsChoice":true,"timestamp":1234567890} 

Mostly this is self-explanatory. Note, however, lastWonDayOffset, being the Wordle # that you last beat, and timestamp, which is (I think) the time the stats were last updated. This is in Unix time - you can convert to a human-readable time using various sites like Epoch Converter - Unix Timestamp Converter.
I first tried just updating the stats, and refreshing. This didn't work as Wordle kept overwriting it with the values from the server. However, once I updated the timestamp value to the current time (ie so it was newer than the stats stored on the server), this seemed to work - on refreshing the page, it updated the stats in my account.
I haven't worked out what autoOptInTimestamp is (save that it seems to be in milliseconds rather than seconds), but I left it as it was and everything still seemed to work.

Updating game state

games-state-wordleV2 will look something like this:

{"states":[{"puzzleId":"2223","data":{"boardState":["word1","word2","word3","word4","word5",""],"currentRowIndex":5,"status":"WIN","hardMode":false,"isPlayingArchive":false,"setLegacyStats":{"gamesPlayed":100,"gamesWon":100,"guesses":{"1":10,"2":20,"3":20,"4":20,"5":20,"6":10,"fail":0},"currentStreak":100,"maxStreak":100,"lastWonDayOffset":1061,"hasPlayed":true,"autoOptInTimestamp":1234567890123,"hasMadeStatsChoice":true,"timestamp":1234567890}},"schemaVersion":"0.16.0","timestamp":1234567890}]} 

Again hopefully it's mostly self-explanatory :

• boardstate lets you set the words you've guessed so far, and row you're up to. This can be useful if you want to (let's be honest, cheat) and undo a guess.
• status can be WIN or IN_PROGRESS.
• You don't need to worry about puzzleID, but it seems to be the way NYT has randomised the order. For example it was 2223 for Wordle #1061, and before NYT moved to a human-edited version of Wordle, the answer to Wordle #2222 would have been PINCH- which was the answer to this puzzle - so that kind of makes sense.
• setlegacystats is followed by a complete replication of the data in the wordle-legacy-stats key. From my (really not very) extensive testing, we can ignore this as it updates to match whatever's in wordle-legacy-stats.
• As above, timestamp (the second one) needs to be updated if you want to change this and have it update whatever's saved to your account, rather than theother way around.

My ex of five years (M 21) and I (F20) broke up 4 months ago because he wanted an open relationship and space to explore sex and sexuality and it could not be fixed. He also never made time for me and had feelings for another girl. I was checked out for a bit before we broke up because of how one sided the relationship was and the ways in which I was treated. I was devastated when we broke up and I thought I was going to die.
Now, I am seeing a great new guy, someone who makes time for me, cares about me, and makes me feel special and beautiful. My ex has been reaching out on different platforms recently, begging for me to take him back after realizing the grass was not greener. Today, I got a text from my ex stating that he found out I was in a new relationship from a friend of his who claims to have seen my boyfriend and I. Mentioning how my new boyfriend looks like him, but also stating that he is happy for me.
For some reason, I feel so horrible. Even though my ex is the one who left me, and I am moving on and healing in life, I feel so horrible. I feel like a bad person for moving on “so fast” and being happy. I cant shake this guilt and anxiety.
TLDR; Ex texted me about my new relationship

I took 4, Stats, US History, Lang, and Computer Science Principles, these are my thoughts on them after finishing CSP
Stats was the one I struggled with the most because time caught up to me in the last FRQs, admittedly I was underprepared, but the rest of the FRQs and the MCQs seemed pretty easy, I expect to get a 4
APUSH was lighter than a feather, which pretty much every one of my classmates I talked to agreed with, the final we took in our class was legitimately harder than the MCQs, and I got a perfect score there; the SAQs and DBQs were also pretty easy, I think the only part I messed up a bit was the LEQ (I am NOT getting the nuance point) but I cooked a 5 star meal for everything else
Same story with the Lang MCQs, easier than the practice and my classmates agree; looking at the sub it seems people didn’t like the prompts a lot, which I agree with halfway, I liked the synthesis topic, and had a pretty good pieces of outside evidence with how Mexico (my home country) handles preservation of historical buildings, and a city close to mine that is reminiscent of the Gold Rush era, analysis was though but honestly I just have a skill issue with analysis so that might be why; Because I took photography I think I made my point that the only new thing about selfies is that they are easier to take and you don’t need to wait days to see the result compared to film cameras pretty well, but I think I could’ve done my argument better by leaning harder into why digital photography is good, but otherwise I think I got a good score in argument, but I agree that it is a dumb prompt because only a fossil (college board members) would think selfies are significantly different than other forms of photography.
For CSP I’d say that the MCQs were on par with the class final in terms of difficulty, and the FRQ wasn’t complicated
From what I’ve heard at school Calc and Psych were also relatively easy, which in my opinion goes to show that we have great teachers at our school, I’m genuinely thankful to all of them, making me understand stats is an achievement.
I’m interested in hearing what everyone else thinks about these exams and the ones I took on previous years (Spanish and World)
Now time to prepare for State Testing, then I may finally rest 🫡

I grew up in a Islamic household however they were to the level of extremism more then a devotion to Islam, I could not tell the difference so I blamed Islam and hated it for years. About 2 years ago I decided to look into religions myself; Christianity, islam, Judaism. I read everything from the beginning from when Yahweh seen as a storm god by the ancient Israelites, Sumerian history and mythology, the Quran, Torah, Bible, I learned absolutely everything I could, I found that I loved and did believe in God, and more specifically Islam. My life prior to Islam was very toxic and volatile, after reverting back to Islam I gained closure, my financial situation stabilized, I gained hobbies, friends, and overall a much more fulfilling and rewarding life, I had a better job, money in my pocket which I donated for zakat and sadiq. Then I thought how can I make the life of my fellow Muslims better, and even non Muslims, I simply wanted to show that Allah loves all, and he is just, so I set on a plan to get a even better paying job which I could leverage into a business within 2 years, and grow it so that I may use the profits to help our Ummah. I will also say during this time I do believe we are living in the end times, with the last of the minor signs remaining, the rise of the Mahdi. As I said I had researched deeply and found this time period coincides with the prophet PBUH Muhammad description of tall buildings, greedy merchants, and corruption spreading the land. I accepted this and my love for Allah grew because of his love for us, now this part my get a bit delusional, but I still wished to help our ummah and help the less fortunate in our ummah so I set on my plan, I set what I needed to do, this being the delusional part, from poor to a billionaire who can then use his money to free our people from the corruption of the royal families like the house of Saud, the family of UAE, Palestine, Iraq, Iran, Syria and others. I had a very intricate plan to leverage the money, influence and the leaders of those countries to do be on my side to take out the other and then turn on them if they did not better themselves after. The first step was the new Job which paired nearly 3-4x as the job I had at the time which I could leverage into a business, and use the prophets to invest in my own hedge fund which would use my own capital since as we know using others money is haram as it poses no diredom to you but using your own money and knowing I can lose it would be halal, I had researched this as well, and through careful investment I could funnel my money from the first business to the second and create even greater profit and from then I had ideas of social welfare from a private individual(me) first in the US whee I reside to gain the trust of the people and then move towards the Islamic countries to start my true mission. I prayed to Allah first for the new job and promised if given it I will give my absolute and utter devotion the the betterment of our people, I had $5 to my name, was about to default on my rent since I had to leave my job and train to get the new job for 7 months and Allah somehow through his infinite will provided me the money to get out of there finish training and get the job and started saving my money, investing it and creating profit but after witnessing the horrors of Palestine I decided some leaders were simply not fit to live ands they would need to be removed entirely, a bit darker then the original plan however that was the ONLY part I had changed. As my plans slowly grew to fruition but my plans slightly darker everything started going downhill, specifically in my job. I started growing thoughts that maybe Allah hates me or disapproves of my tactics, I stayed unwavering to my faith AND my plans but as things get worse I had somewhat of a realization, maybe Allah wants things to get worse and to prevent me from following through with my goals because his prophecy requires things to get worse so his chosen one can make things better. I had hoped that if tmehdi does come in my lifetime I will give him absolute access to my resources and if it’s after my lifetime I will instruct my future descendants to give it to him but now I feel like Allah is preventing me because it is not part of HIS prophecy or that if I follow this path I may not like what happens. I do NOT see myself as some savior or specially anointed I just wanted to do what’s right and helping humanity become better. But now I don’t know. I don’t know if Allah is punishing me or saving me, I don’t want to be saved from some I’ll fainted destiny, I just want to help my people and all people so they can see the glory of Allah when you do what is right.
While delusional maybe about the billionaire and afflunt future I will say I do have some credibility. Mentoring directly under a billionaire. From 16-20 until his passing. I managed his finances as well as help start funds which made significant profits

What I mean is that a lot of these characters look cool in mask, but when they take it off, what we see is... just a guy. He has an ordinary face, nothing special.
Michael and Jason had this problem. But! Courtney looks cool to me. Serious face, intimidating, not thin, I like his scenes without a mask. But not in a last film, he looks too old, listless, even pathetic. I understand perfectly well the state of Michael’s health at this moment, but still.
In all other films he's just a guy. Rob Zombie's version sure looks cool, but that's a different story.

So, like many of us in this Reddit space are here to share stories from a time when we were naïve and probably convinced we were with our soulmate. at the timing of the end of this relationship, I was 23 (m) she was 22 (f). We really were only together for about a year and a half. However, there was some history between us that encouraged us to get together in the first place after our previous relationships. We knew each other for about five years at the time we got together. And we got together very fast after fairly lengthy relationships. The thing is, she had an apartment and her ex moved out. I kind of slowly started staying around a lot after he moved out and about 6-7 months into the relationship we moved in together into a new apartment and everything up to that point was so amazing.
I was very acclimated with her family. She wasn’t very much acclimated with mine actually. There was a dog in the middle that we had but it was technically her dog, but that dog does love me so much and I miss that dog so much now. Very skittish dog and the love was very apparent when I was around because I basically took a lot of responsibilities and taking care of the dog from the second I started being around. Now to the actual point of where this leads to…
So this year January, she broke up with me. It was very apparent, and there were writings on the wall that the spark was kind of gone and it was just hard to be around each other. Very ironic, but probably some type of psychological explanation because I swear I had so many opportunities to talk to new woman, but I valued loyalty more than anything to her and wanted to make things work no matter how hard. The next thing you know, she is noticeably, distant, asking for space and very hostile all the time. I kept telling her hey why do I just feel like your roommate and not your boyfriend anymore? you know I never had thought of anything suspicious from her side because I was convinced that she loves me. She’s basically had a crush on me you know since we were very young, as I said five years before we even got together she had a thing for me.
Now there were some crisis stages of living together where I am actively learning about God in my life and trying to place God as the pedestal for the way that I live my life, and those values differed. But at the end of the day, I accepted our differences and wanted to make it work, but it was very hard and I didn’t really see the sacrifices. She was willing to make for me. Now by no means was I perfect. I had a lot of flaws when it came to dealings with certain things and maybe not being reassuring in the ways that I was supposed to. However, my love for her was through the roof. She’s made me feel like nobody else ever has in my life and before her I was in a four-year relationship. So fast-forward, she breaks up with me on the same day that actually bought a new car (paid cash) which is something I thought she would be very excited for me about because my old car was a piece of junk and we usually took her car around. And I told her and she was absolutely expressionless.
As soon as that was the case, I was in a very dark state immediately. Prior to this there is a few days that I was really trying to get things rolling and some positive way between us and again it was just a matter where the spark was gone and she didn’t really want anything to do with me and it was making me so sad and frustrated. After I came home telling her that I bought a new car and she didn’t respond I start questioning her on a whole Lotta things and eventually she spills out that she no longer has feelings for me and says we’re broken up. Immediately, I’m in shambles. I think it was a Tuesday and the next day was a Wednesday where we normally spent all of our time together. I’m crying all night. I sleep in a separate room and see you was just quiet. The next Wednesday she goes out doesn’t really say anything and this is what was the hardest part. The person that I loved more than anyone in the world basically just stopped telling me anything and sharing anything with me.
She leaves the next morning. I tried to pull information out of her for her to tell me she was going apartment touring. That broke me as well. There was about 10 weeks left on the lease. I couldn’t even begin to think about that. However, I have to plead with her to keep her location on because I’m concerned about her and I still admittedly loved her, and all I wanted to do was reconcile and try to find a place of comfort. And her location she turned it off and turned it on and then it was like kind of weird on my phone, but eventually, I was basically stalking her because I was that insecure. She goes to one place and then another place and she’s gone all day and doesn’t tell me a thing. There is a place that she went to that confused me but I guess I excused it because she said she was apartment touring but it didn’t really make a lot of sense. This one place later on becomes an an answer to me. I talked to my family and friends and they basically accused her of cheating and I wasn’t having it because I couldn’t handle any more pain honestly.
Fast forward, though for the next two months basically we still live together and she was still being very secretive and I’m still hurting more and more. It was a very traumatic experience to just watch this girl I love change and be so different around me and I couldn’t feel any different way. It was really affecting me on a daily basis every single day and night. And that’s because I was admittedly, too emotionally dependent on her. it became very apparent that she was basically seeing someone else and wouldn’t fess up to it so quickly however this person wasn’t a boyfriend according to her because she wanted to be single. But she’s not coming back overnight, so I’m like where are you sleeping? She says don’t worry about it. I’m doing everything around the apartment. I’m taking care of the dog that it’s technically hers that I love a lot yes but you know. Sometimes she would come back and we would still often sleep in the same bed because I couldn’t sleep on the couch because that would just be very physically uncomfortable for me.
She was doing this and again I just had to live with it mind you she’s also told me some things like hey I believe in the right person wrong time idea and I still love you . It only gave me hope but it also put me through so much more pain as well. So just from a matter of how fast she was moving on to seeing another guy I feel like that should’ve been a key indicator, but I kept asking her if she cheated on me. She never said she did. I tried my absolute best to believe her every time. She also got approved for an apartment and had a roommate with some person who I didn’t really trust in the past, but I see now that that person is not significant in why the relationship broke. However, something that I have yet to mention is that she never really told a single person about our break up not family or friends. I wouldn’t have survived if I can tell no one because I was just going through it. You know I think this traumatic phase in my life and it’s making me realize that I think I have ADHD too.
Anyways, she was basically slowly moving out while I had my attempts to move out to a new place that kind of failed. I moved back in with my parents because of the roommate dependency of other people wasn’t working too well. Mind, you still pretty much through our time continuing to live together while I am deeply scarred and depressed. I am still actively trying to reconcile the relationship in someway. I was basically reflecting on everything that I did wrong and trying to better it while I was still living with her. That and I was just doing so many nice things like making all her meals and doing so many nice things for the dog buying things here and there. I was acting as a complete Simp believe me I hated it, but I missed her. At the same time I did not hate it though because I genuinely like doing things for other people and she was my outlet for that often.
Nonetheless, towards the end of the time before she moved out officially this is a part where I found out she cheated on me. There was about two weeks left on the lease or so. Quick note because I forgot to mention that we stopped having sex probably for a good amount of time and a red flag that I couldn’t overlook is the fact that she said she needed sex where I didn’t feel as I always desired it because it should be sacred. This could’ve very well been the nail in the coffin for her. Even though so many other things were good in my opinion she and I did not share the same values..
So we both wake up, she has an appointment to be at in the morning. I make food in the morning and I offered some. She takes a shower and gets changed in the bedroom. She left her phone in the bathroom unlocked and I looked through with major hesitation. Text showed nothing but then I showed that flo app (where women track their period and when they have sex)… my heart caught on fire. To see the amount of times she was having sex and also before we broke up, hurt me so bad but not as bad as I thought it would at the same time. I couldn’t look much further honestly, but I got my answer and I had to research to make sure I was looking at that correctly. I then questioned her, she would not admit and basically decided to move out that night, officially which put me in a pretty tough spot because she took the Internet.
I’m a big person on faith I’ve kept in touch with her somewhat and I’m doing my absolute best to forgive her. But I definitely cannot forget. What’s weird is that after we officially moved out the apartment and everything together she started sharing her location with me on Snapchat. Mind you I have a suspicion of who she was cheating on me with because I was investigating you know. I’m definitely more handsome and charismatic. I now notice her go to the same place she went to the day after we broke up pretty often. It’s not where she lives. It’s pretty close to her work. Do the math. I have tried to talk to her a few times about this topic and she certainly gets uncomfortable every time it is brought up. I just wanted it told from her for my closure, but I guess I don’t need it.
But yeah, that experience, especially living together after the break up was not fun and I don’t recommend it for anyone. I wouldn’t put my worst enemy through that. The lesson that i learned is that it can take two to build something great but only one to destroy it. Therefore, build something great on your own. Someone will be waiting there when you’re done.

Hi all!
This is probably the saddest thing to happen to a best friendship that's endured for so long, but I realize me we are growing apart. We have been long distance (they moved to Europe back in 2009) and we have grown apart for a multitude of reasons. They are still very naive about how the world works, this may or may have to due with the fact that their parents are wealthy, and they never had to pay for any of their schooling or housing. They have been working at a part time job for 7yrs with no ambitions to do anything career-wise. We recently met up in my home state last fall, and a lot of things about her irked me (lack of societal awareness, blind trust, being too idealistic and makes rash decisions without a rough plan, entitlement like complaining how her car doesn't have a touchscreen)
I grew up poor, like paycheck to paycheck poor and still am. I really had to take care of myself and be smart, and she's just a dead weight to living with her parents with no ambition--she went to college but is just sitting around instead of trying pursue her original career ambitions. Now she's mad at me for not supporting her eloping with a random thrice divorced guy she met in a chatroom she's been talking to during the pandemic, saying "this is the start of her life, this is what she wants for her future" and that "I should trust her to make decisions for herself".
I feel like we cannot be friends anymore because of how different we take the world in terms of seriousness, but it just hurts me because I want her to do better, focus on herself and making a living, but people have different ideas of what they want to do with their lives. Having to think about choices recently, the eloping being the final straw, makes me stressed and tired tbh, but it also hurts me because I thought we'd be able to grow into the future together--but after thinking back into our time together in school, she's always been impulsive, rash, and idealistic to a bad fault...she's just never grown out of it...but I (who have seen and been through financial and social roller-coaster with my parents) have.
Any advice on how to approach this would be great. Thank you.

Most people are unaware of the fact that the BigFourThieves (Deloitte, PwC, KPMG and EY) are preying on Australian taxpayers by infiltrating and bribing the Australian federal and state government. Not all but some government officials are corrupt and getting huge bribes from the BigFourThieves. This costs Aussie taxpayers tens of billions every year. Example: A small yet complex looking task within Defence Force is created and tendered off to KPMG. The task could be completed for 20 million dollars but costs a staggering $250m. Where does the difference go? $30m: KPMG's employees + $150m: KPMG's various stakeholders + $50: Defence officials (some) bribes. But how come so much bribe is paid? It would be noticed by the ATO, right? Not quite. Bribing these days is different from what it used to be (Swiss Banks). Government officials set up companies and/or use affiliate personas overseas and bribes are paid to them in all kinds of currencies, and asset types (not in cash) such as crypto, land, company stocks and even houses. If the official wants to cash in, then they simply sell the house/stock/etc. and convert it to cash and transfer from overseas to homeland. Tax office can't say a word. This is one of the reasons why the middle class of the developed countries such as US, Canada and Australia are getting poorer because they pay more tax compared to their earnings, which in and of itself contributes to diminishing their purchasing power.
So long as government officials (can and are allowed) get bribes from these thieves, people will financially suffer more and more. Unless we people act, these thieves and these greedy traitors will keep getting richer and richer at our expense.

I have an iPhone SE (second generation) and the storage on the phone says I'm only using 1.12 GB for Photos, whereas iCloud states Photos are using 3.6 GB and the 5 GB iCloud storage is about to run out because of this. Why is there such a drastic difference, and is there anything I can do to make the iCloud more inline with the iPhone storage amount?

This is specifically about k pop fans, although I've been noticing this phenomenon in all kinds of online spaces. People seem to be obsessed with hate and seeing hate everywhere. If you make valid criticism about someone - in this case, an idol - you're a hater. If you make a joke, you're a hater. If you say anything that isn't overwhelmingly positive about an idol, you're a hater. People were criticising LSF for their underwhelming Coachella performance, they got labelled as haters, even the ones who were just stating their opinions respectfully. There's a huge difference between saying "their vocals aren't it" and "they're fucking shit and should toaster bath themselves." I personally joke about Bang Chan being annoying whenever he's being all flirty to his fans and people call me a hater. Over a harmless joke. Whenever someone has any sort of criticism, even valid and polite, about an idol/group regarding literally ANYTHING, they're labelled a bitter hater. Can someone explain why that is? And why are people online so fierce about defending random celebrities from "hate"? Are these idols paying yall to be their defence lawyers? Idk it's honestly irritating.

In my state, PO Boxes, Virtual Addresses, and Virtual offices are not allowed as a substitute for personal place of business. However, they do allow for the sake of privacy, you to use a registered agent service as your primary place of business.
On the other hand, articles like this recommend against it: https://www.l4sb.com/knowledge-base/bad-practice-use-registered-agent-address-company-address/ -- arguing that because you don't physically possess the space it can be a problem.
Moreover, my state has specific tax rates on a PER COUNTY basis and I would be wary to get a primary place of business address that was outside of my county for fear of either being charged extra tax for the wrong county, and/or, not paying proper tax in my actual county.
Does anyone have guidance on this? I'm moving soon, and would like to keep my personal address private going forward at the new address, since I work from home most of the time with my LLC.
Is it generally ok to use a Registered Agent service for primary place of business, even if its a different county, and does it cause any issues with the legitimacy of the LLC/Liability shielding... or anything else?

So anyone googling the lawsuits? Not only the new ageism ones update April 2024, 16 HR workers claim they were replaced with AI (cant recall what country), of course the ongoing assistants cut in the US over overtime exempt status, and one ageism lawsuit states over 20,000… You guys gotta take advantahe of these if nothing else to settle. Or just bring material to.
I tried finally coming forward over my medical disability- because of the RTO in January. It was humiliating. Nurse and 4 specialists and my mgr all approved it. BTW all linked to chronic issness I never had until mandatory covid vaccines despite dr documentation major allergic hospitalized reaction but IBM made me get it AGAIN - different brand - and now drs think im vaccine injured course they cant prove it yet - another reason i hate ibm- but I want everyone globally to think about their Ra situation and jumpi lng on these cases to support! I have been excluded, discriminated, - all again from toxic culture trying to deny the disability which after medical and IBMs own nurse and staff approved, H Legal fought them on to get costs down and get rid of me.
and we talk about the neurodiversity program and hiring? This company is the biggest waste of space yet Arvind no joke- will likely cancel his office hours tomorrow being too scared and balless to show after firing John Granger SVP consulting and putting Mohammad Ali in. Like Mohammad - but lets face it- Ibm is getting rid of consulting and Mohammad is 10000% on board.
