2024.05.15 09:19 thisvideoiswrong Quick Looks 3: Vo'Quv Carrier

By my count, there are 15 T5 ships available for just dilithium or a level 40 token, which someone might want a starter build for to help them finish off the episode missions and start the reputation grind. My Strict Budget Build covers the three science vessels, the Baby Step series covers the three cruisers with tactical ensigns, Quick Looks 1 and 2 cover the Hegh'ta Bird of Prey and the Jem'hadar Escort, and there's definitely an argument to be made that some are just bad choices. But there was one more I wanted to take a look at here. This series will not be as thoroughly researched as those previous series, and it will not feature optimized skill builds (there are many resources for that), but the builds will be proven in the Badlands Battlezone and in solo Defense of Starbase One Advanced, as well as extensively parsed in the Wanted (Argala System) patrol with comparisons to similar builds. That should adequately demonstrate that they can get you whatever reputation marks you need, using only mission, basic (generally Mk XII uncommon) Exchange, and Phoenix Store items. Each build will be allowed one Mk XV item to maintain parity with the Strict Budget Build, usually a forward weapon. It's also easy enough to put these together that I could be persuaded to do more if there's a ship that deserves it.
So, why the Vo'Quv? Well it's in the name, it's a carrier. Hangar bays are expensive to boost in this game, but that means they have to be balanced to have pretty good base damage. In this case the two hangars did more than half the damage of most of the other builds in this series with hardly any support for them. The downside to carriers is that they often sacrifice a lot for those hangars. Not so for Flight Deck Carriers, which are pretty much full cruisers, or any of the single hangar types, but the science carriers like the Vo'Quv don't really have an obvious path to getting ship damage, especially on this budget. Their turn rate is terrible, which is a problem for most things, they have only 6 weapons so getting a lot from energy weapons is out, and they don't have a secondary deflector, which did do more on my science vessel build than the hangars did here.
So where did I end up, then? Well, with 6 science ability slots and not a ton of options I couldn't see not using them for some direct exotic damage. And since that required me to face forward, and the turn rate was terrible and I couldn't do much about it, I concluded that I'd have to use turrets in the rear with either beam arrays or single cannons forward, the two widest arc weapon combinations possible apart from pure turrets, although their damage potential is limited. The Chronometric set also seemed like a must have, providing a large amount of EPG and some Polaron cat1 from the tac console, and a bit of aux power from the 2 piece, but I wasn't sure whether I'd want the Morphogenic set or not, since it would mean sacrificing a cannon. Then, I went to the TRINITY DPS Calculator from STO BETTER and started plugging in some rough options. Single cannons outperformed beam arrays even with the Chronometric 3 piece, so that settled that, and getting the crtd from the Morphogenic 3 piece and Cannon Scatter Volley was well worth losing a forward cannon for the torp. Attack Pattern Beta proved a bigger contributor than expected thanks to boosting the exotic damage as well, which is why that's at 2 and CSV is at 1, and easily outperformed including a Torpedo Spread as well. Finally I switched the power settings away from a balanced configuration toward weapons over aux and aux over weapons, and the high aux version did best. So that was the build.
How did it perform? Well it was sluggish, obviously, I expected that. But the DPS was pretty impressive and was reflected in how quickly it got kills. And the survivability was pretty good, with a lot of hull and pretty good healing I really couldn't complain, except that it was so sluggish it was hard to run out of range and heal if I needed to. On the other hand when I did withdraw the fighters kept fighting, contributing to the highest Wanted Elite DPS of any of the builds in the table with only one attempt needed to survive the whole mission (the science vessel could do better by charging in and dying a couple of times, but needed to play cautiously and sacrifice its CPB to survive). They were even powerful enough to handle the Birds of Prey in Starbase One Advanced without any help from the mothership, potentially even without player input, which could be convenient.

This skill tree is my generalist one from Strict Budget Build part 2, and it pretty much needs to be. This build relies on both energy weapon and exotic damage, so it can't afford to neglect either one. There are other generalist skill trees, of course, but that is what you'll need to be looking for, any single purpose tree isn't going to get the job done.

Ship Loadout: Vo'Quv Carrier

Slot	Item	Notes
Fore Weapon 1	Polaron Cannon	The one Mk XV, single cannons are usually a poor choice, but they will outperform beam arrays forward/turrets aft and provide 180 degrees of firing arc
Fore Weapon 2	Polaron Cannon	The Vo'Quv suffers from terrible turn rate so it doesn't want weapons with narrow arcs, but it needs to face forward for the exotic damage
Fore Weapon 3	Morphogenic Polaron Energy Torpedo Launcher	Here for the 3 piece set bonus providing 30% crtd to the whole ship

Aft Weapon 1	Heavy Chronometric Polaron Turret	Mostly need a turret, 2 piece provides some aux
Aft Weapon 2	Morphogenic Polaron Energy Weapon	Another turret, and contributes to the 3 piece
Aft Weapon 3	Polaron Turret	Just a turret

Deflector	Solanae Deflector Array Mk XII Very Rare	Provides more EPG out of the box than any other mission reward
Impulse Engines	Sol Defense Impulse Engines Mk XII Very Rare	With the bonus from getting hit this does just provide the best total turn rate out of the mission rewards at 14.7 degrees/s, replace with Fortified Competitive rep engines
Warp Core	Obelisk Subspace Rift Warp Core	This build only hits 122 aux so this doesn't actually help, could consider Deuterium-Stabilized but the benefit is minimal
Shields	Sol Defense Covariant Shield Array Mk XII Very Rare	2 piece is nice for survivability, alternative would be Jem'Hadar 2 piece for a bit of Polaron cat1.

Devices	Exotic Particle Flood	Crafted in Science R&D. I do have to admit that the materials are a little hard to come by, and Admiralty (with account unlocked ships) is the best source I've found.
	Deuterium Surplus	Evasive Maneuvers in battery form, and you can collect 4 per day from the Alhena system.
	Delta Alliance Reinforcements Beacon	Handy damage boost

3 Engineering Consoles	Console - Engineering - Trellium-D Plating Mk XII Very Rare	Good survivability console, could use a Neutronium instead
	Console - Engineering - Polaric Modulator Mk XII Very Rare	Boosts Inertia, which is rare, as well as turn rate, and slipstream turn rate at warp
	Console - Engineering - House Martok Defensive Configuration Mk XII Very Rare	Boosts turn rate and provides some survivability, an RCS would work too

4 Science Consoles	Console - Science - Temporal Disentanglement Suite Mk XII Very Rare	Nice crit and durability boost, plus some power.
	Console - Science - Temporally Shielded Datacore Mk XII Very Rare	Slightly less EPG than Particle Generators but it makes up for it with the CtrlX
	Console - Science - Particle Generator Mk XII Uncommon	Just need EPG
	Console - Science - Particle Generator Mk XII Common

2 Tactical Consoles	Console - Tactical - Morphogenic Matrix Controller Mk XII Very Rare	For the 3 piece and some polaron cat1
	Console - Tactical - Chronometric Capacitor Mk XII Very Rare	Good EPG, some aux from the 2 piece, and some Polaron cat1, and this build uses all of it

2 Hangar Bays	Hangar - To'Duj Fighters	These provide more DPS than any other hangar that's available by default, and they come with the ship, they will die in heavy AoE content, otherwise use two
	Hangar - Delta Flyers	These have slightly less DPS than To'duj but never die in any content, but do require a level 65 KDF character for Cross Faction Flying, could substitute B'rels for more DPS loss

Officer Details

Bridge Officers
Lt. Commander Tactical	Tactical Team I	Shield distribution and debuff clear, may cause firing cycle problems but I haven't seen it
	Cannon: Scatter Volley I	Excellent weapon damage buff and also spreads APB to up to 3 targets
	Attack Pattern Beta II	Unusual to slot this above the firing mode, but it boosts every damage source and weapon damage is only ~1/4 of the total

Lt. Commander Engineering	Emergency Power to Engines I	More than doubles speed and provides +2 turn rate, essential mobility for any build
	Auxiliary to Structural I	Excellent heal and damage resist, and on a very short cooldown
	Emergency Power to Weapons III	Major energy weapon damage boost

Commander Science	Hazard Emitters I	Good hull heal and debuff clear
	Destabilizing Resonance Beam I	Good exotic damage, used with GW
	Photonic Officer II	Cooldown reduction
	Gravity Well III	Good exotic damage and control

Lieutenant Science	Science Team I	Shield heal and debuff clear
	Tyken's Rift I	Exotic damage, alternate with GW

Traits & Duty Officers

Trait	Name	Notes
Personal Traits	Astrophysicist	A little bit of EPG
	Cannon Training	A little more cannon damage
	Conservation of Energy	Significant exotic damage while solo, but stacks don't last long
	Deft Cannoneer	Boosts turn rate by 1, on this build we need it, from Cannons R&D
	Fleet Coordinator	One of the best traits in the game when on a team
	Give Your All	Excellent hull damage resistance
	Operative	Some extra crit
	Particle Manipulator	The most powerful trait for exotic damage, +50%/+29.6% crth/crtd on this build, from Science R&D
	Photonic Capacitor	Extra Photonic Fleet is nice to have

Starship Traits	None	Unconventional Tactics from completing Strategist is definitely worth slotting here, but I kept it cheap.

Space Reputation Traits	None	You'll start picking these up very quickly, Precision and Advanced Targeting Systems are top picks.

Duty Officers	Projectile Weapons Officer	"Law" from A Fistful of Gorn, a bit of a pain to get there, but worth having
	Projectile Weapons Officer	A common included in my first duty officer pack
	Astrometrics Scientist	Uncommon, also in my first pack, handy to have set
	Conn Officer	From Phoenix, a must have for mobility in any build

This table shows all damage sources in one Wanted Advanced run, with multiple lines from the same source summed together.

Source	DPS
To'Duj Fighters	6594
Delta Flyers	4504
Gravity Well	3571
Photonic Fleet	3170

Now, let's talk keybinds. In STO on PC you're going to want to learn keybinding eventually, and most of it's not too hard and can be done through the chat window (although it is arguably better to create a separate text file with your binds, that's more complicated). The first thing I always do is to set up a secondary fire weapons button through settings, usually V, just in case I screw up and my intended fire keybind doesn't work. While I'm there I usually set Distribute Shields to Left Shift, it's a pretty good survivability boost, although a lot of people do say it can mess up firing cycles, but personally I've never noticed a problem. Then, the commands you'll want to know are "FirePhasers" or "FireAll", "+power_exec Distribute_Shields", and "+TrayExecByTray # #", where # is a number. Note that the list of commands needs quotation marks around it, and commands should be separated by "$$". So if you typed the following into the chat: /bind y "+TrayExecByTray 0 0 $$ +TrayExecByTray 0 1 $$ +TrayExecByTray 1 2 $$ +TrayExecByTray 1 3" That would create a keybind so that y would activate the first and second abilities in the row labeled 1, and the third and fourth abilities in the row labeled 2 (0 in a keybind means 1 in the UI, 1 means 2, 2 means 3, etc., that's just how it works), starting with the fourth ability in 2 and then proceeding backwards. From there on in it's personal preference, put things where they feel natural to you, where you're used to them being. What I use has evolved naturally over time, I make no claims that it's efficient, just that I'm used to it, and I use it on everything. For fire weapons, distribute shields, Emergency Power abilities, cooldown reduction, often Aux to Structural, and anything else I just want to keep active I use spacebar, like this: /bind space "FireAll $$ +power_exec Distribute_Shields $$ +TrayExecByTray 6 0 $$ +TrayExecByTray 6 1 $$ +TrayExecByTray 6 2 $$ +TrayExecByTray 6 3 $$ +TrayExecByTray 6 4" That's the first 5 slots in row 7, which is usually enough. Then for my firing modes, Attack Pattern Beta, and so on, things with short cooldowns I activate as I attack, I use the 7 key, no good reason for that it just happened, and the first 4 slots in row 3: /bind 7 "+TrayExecByTray 2 0 $$ +TrayExecByTray 2 1 $$ +TrayExecByTray 2 2 $$ +TrayExecByTray 2 3" And finally for my exotic builds I always put Gravity Well and Destabilizing Resonance beam on 2, using the next two slots in row 3, although it is true that the usual logic behind that doesn't apply here, I just did it out of habit: /bind 2 "+TrayExecByTray 2 4 $$ +TrayExecByTray 2 5" That's all the keybinds I use, everything else I activate manually, one at a time, but it does compress 13 keys I might want to be pressing down to 3, which helps a lot.
Now, the difficult thing about this build is that I really don't know how to suggest upgrading it, apart from the obvious necessity of some Competitive Reputation engines to get their Overcharge to improve turn rate, I made sure to use Aux to Structural to pair with the Fortified version of those. The damage is very divided between different types, with about 40% from hangars, 25% from exotics, and 21% from energy weapons, and it's not getting a lot out of any of them, but I'll provide my own ideas and the STO BETTER Basics links for all three. Currently the biggest damage source is the hangars, but trying to improve those would be expensive. Ideally you'd like to pick up Superior Area Denial from the Mirror Strike Wing Escort lockbox ship, or at least the Independent Wingmate space trait, but those are very expensive compared to this build. Even the more minor and less powerful Advanced Engineering – Hangar Craft Power Transmission consoles are starting at 1 million energy credits each on PC for either a Mk XII with a useless mod or a Mk II with an [EPG] mod, or 5 million for a Mk II with [Polaron], while Swarmer Matrix is going for 7 million. If you wanted to work on exotic damage you could of course pick up the Temporal reputation two piece, and then you might want Subspace Vortex or Very Cold in Space to replace the heals with some more damage, but those will cost you 9 million, and really you'd want to pair them with Spore Infused Anomalies from the Somerville or Batlh C-store ships for a truly potent source of exotic damage. You might be able to get good exotic damage out of the Gravimetric Photon and Particle Emission Plasma torpedoes after picking up the Competitive engines, and those aren't as expensive, but they do give you a much narrower arc. And if you wanted to improve the energy weapons, of course there are reputation items you can pick up starting with the Discovery reputation shield, but you're pretty limited by the combination of poor turn rate and forward firing exotics. You could try to switch to dual (heavy) cannons, probably moving the torpedo to the rear and dropping the plain turret, but I don't think I'm a good enough pilot to pull that off even with Competitive engines, which would leave you with single cannons which have underwhelming base damage and very few set items to support them. I just don't know what direction to go in to make a really impactful improvement in this build.
Finally, here's the table of DPS testing in the Wanted patrol for all five equivalent budget builds. The Luna used the original, unaltered Strict Budget Build, using the mentioned swap of Emergency Power to Shields instead of Aux to Structural for better survivability against non-Borg. The Vor'cha sat somewhere between parts one and two of the Baby Step series, meaning it had exactly the same consoles as the Hegh'ta BoP and similar ones to the Jem Escort, and the beam equivalents of the phaser weapons, with exactly the abilities and personal traits in the Baby Step posts. It must also be said that the Vor'cha and Vo'quv were the only builds to never die on elite difficulty, and the Vor'cha was definitely the toughest, although all the builds took about 20 minutes to get through the mission so using them at that difficulty is a bad idea. The Hegh'ta of course used the Quick Looks 1 build, and the Jem Escort used the Quick Looks 2 build.

	Elite (DPS thousands)	Advanced 1 (DPS thousands)	Advanced 2	Advanced 3	Advanced 4	Advanced Average
Hegh'ta Heavy BoP	20.0	20.1	21.5	22.5	23.2	21.8
Jem'hadar Escort	19.3	23.4	20.6	21.8	19.7	21.4
Vo'quV Carrier	27.3	26.3	28.2	26.6	25.2	26.6
Luna Science Vessel	24.8	31.4	28.3	27.9	27.0	28.6
Vor'cha Battlecruiser	15.1	15.0	14.1	14.8	14.6	14.6

2024.05.15 09:18 Traditional_Let_8748 Would “giving up” work?

28/m - fat but physically active and working on it
I left my “stats” up above. Long story short is that I’m struggling with dating. I am on 4 dating apps: Hinge, Bumble, Eharmony, and tinder. I also will use Facebook dating here and there. I don’t get anything from those. I have had one date off hinge in the 6 years since my breakup with my long term college gf. If you subtract the “covid years” it is more like 4.
I have a lot of friends. We go clubbing, to breweries and wineries, we are even doing a lake trip this month. My therapist helped a lot by helping me realize that successful friendships mean that people do want my company, and like me. That same mentality can apply to dating too. However, it hasn’t really happened for me.
I have a “meh” job which I just started but it is government and has great benefits and lots of promotion potential. I also just graduated grad school with a 4.0 from a top 5 American University. That did dump my with debt though so I have been living at home to pay that off while I work. I do have a plan in place to get my own place soon but financially it made sense to not burden myself with rent or housing payment at this time.
I am also overweight. I don’t think I am morbidly obese but I am not skinny or fit by any means. That being said I have a job that requires me to be physically active (not manual labor though) and I play soccer once a week on top of that.
Dating has made me discouraged of late. Especially when comparing myself to those around me. I have asked if big guys have a chance (my college ex preferred bigger guys and she was a fitness girl who lived in the gym) and I know I am overthinking it but I do feel like until I fix it I won’t.
I also think about giving up the apps and purposefully seeking dating and trying to let it happen naturally. However, I am not sure that woukdw amount to much. Can anyone give me some insight or just general advice/encouragement, etc… just feeling kinda lost.

2024.05.15 09:18 HappyRamenMan Why I’m not selling.

I was at 75% loss or so when we were around $10 and I was comfortable with that. GameStop is doing great as a company and shorts never closed.
If hedgies fuck us and we go back down I’ll wait another 3 year or a lifetime. I do not give a fuck. This money is spoken for and not part of my plans for my life.
This is kore than the money, this is for change. This is because we were held down for three years and told we were crazy.
But we were not. It’s them who are crazy. We have seen value in a great company and bought and held with diamonds hands.
I want a short squeeze. Not a mid squeeze or a sneeze. I want hedgies to be forcibly liquidated so they can no longer play these games.
Here’s the thing. We are stronger together than they can imagine. They don’t understand ape help ape and ape together strong. They are greedy and selfish. We will show them what we can do together. We will HODL!!!

2024.05.15 09:18 RandomBanana007 Please help, I'm really struggling

A lot has happened very quickly in my life, a lot of which has seriously affectedy eating habits, and I think I've made 2 meals (outside of major holidays) in the past couple years.
I had gastric sleeve surgery 2 years ago, and that's when cooking essentially stopped. My husband would help when he could but It was so hard to make something that would be gold for for the both of us. Before we could fix the issue my mom has gotten very sick and everything has devolved rapidly. We don't cook unless someone else might eat it. Seriously, its so overwhelming to plan,and think,and prep, and cook
So we've essentially devolved We have devolved into people Into people who now eat multiples of frozen meals a week, few box dinners, cereal for dinner, all the protein bars. It was alright for a while. But as my mom gets worse, finding even any motivation to do anything ESPECIALLY cooking just... Is not there.
What I am looking for are podcasts that can get me INTERESTED and EXCITED enough to want to get off my ass and cook a sing damn thing. I would prefer food related pods but I would also be open to solid/non lame motivational pod that may be particularly helpful.
I know this is a huge info dump but I was having a hard time searching myself. I just left my job and I really need to do this for everyone's benefit right now. Thank you friends! ❤️
I would also be interested in any books with these themes! Thankkszssss

2024.05.15 09:18 BrokenHawkeye Going to my new doctor who is a Black woman has made me feel so validated

I had an appointment yesterday and never in my life have a felt more respected by a doctor. She took all of my concerns seriously, didn’t dismiss me due to my youth or history of mental health issues, got things done promptly, and was just very nice to talk to in general. In the past, my doctors were all white and Asian, and though a lot of them were perfectly nice and good at their jobs, never have I felt more listened to by any of them like my new doctor.
She was already highly recommended by the receptionist when I was booking the appointment, so I thought that was a good sign.
I feel like as Black women our concerns are dismissed more than anyone else’s, but it’s nice to know that (for now at least) I’m in good hands.

2024.05.15 09:17 Clean-Ad-2141 Tips and Helpful Info - VERA, HLR, DTA, waitwhile, Informal Conference, TDIU, Employer forms, DBQs

Tips and things that helped me on my journey - timeline in comments

VERA is quicker than the C-File. Yes, get your c-file, but in the meantime, VERA can give you what you need. Everytime I had a c&p or medical opinion submitted, I scheduled a call with VERA to request a copy be sent to me by mail. I usually had copies of my DBQs 4-5 days after the examiner submitted it.

Schedule call (virtual appt) with VERA - https://va.my.site.com/VAVERA/s/ you can choose ANY office - I had luck with Albuquerque and St. Paul , I used St Pete during my HLR.

Once I got my copy in the mail, I wrote a personal statement in response to what they wrote. For instance, when the examiner stated I could work in a solitary position, I wrote and submitted a statement explaining how my symptoms prevented me from working in a solitary position. These were not super long statements, just my statement in response, a paragraph or two. My sole purpose of this was to add this all to the record in case it took me years to fight my claim. At least it was in writing that I said xyz to the VA. Whether it actually helps, who knows, but I spoke my piece on the record.
When I talked with VERA reps, I always ask when my suspense date is. I know they are very loose timelines, but I realized if I called before the suspense date, I was scripted off the phone but if I called after, they usually would “flag” or “make a note” or “check to see whats going on with it”
USE THE SEARCH BAR on this subreddit. Sometimes, I didn’t even really know how to word what I was looking for or what I needed to know, so I just used keywords and scrolled to see if anyone else asked. 9/10 someone else asked.
For previous employer forms - Look up your former employer online, find the email for the human resource dept. - Send form and request via email. Follow-up with a phone call if you don’t hear back. In my case, they contacted me by phone to verify who I was then sent the completed form back to me. I submitted them with my claim because it can take way longer for VA to reach out to them and maybe hear something back. I liked this route because I didn’t have to interact with any old supervisors or people I actually worked with. Just an HR person doing their job.

I understand some people don’t like the idea of people skipping the line or harassing the VA, but I think people should be as proactive as they can when it comes to fighting for what they need for better quality of life. The VA is backed up and busy, so if you can break through the noise then go for it, nobody is going to fight for you like you will. And everyone is going to play the waiting game at some point. These claims are stressful and extremely triggering so do what you have to do. Good Luck to everyone still in the fight.

2024.05.15 09:17 Effective-League6810 I don’t understand why im so obsessive or was i just hardcore manipulated?

(this is a long post but the details matter bc im not sure if im being manipulated or not. So I was talking to this guy for like 3 weeks. we’ve hooked up a few months before that, we talked in between the few months and the beginning of that 3 weeks but didn’t hook up again until the beginning of the 3 weeks. anyways, beginning of this 3 weeks, i hit him up just bc i was bored and wanted someone to talk to and then we ended up talking all day and we hooked up again. we were being like super cute, all cuddlely (im not normally like this with people. like im super closed off) and like we hit it off right and we talk all day for the next few days and he says he kinda likes me and was like “is that ok?” and so im like dang this seems genuine then we hook up again and it went great. we hugged and kissed before he left and everything. then suddenly he ghosts me. i literally blew up his phone. just asking like why did he ghost me, like acting pathetic. im aware of this, this whole time. like the night before we held hands, sung lil peep and like it was a vibe and like….. me? i don’t vibe with everyone or open up so i was like super excited ab this little connection. but i couldn’t stop texting him and like i literally just sound insane atp ok well he ghosts me for a day and then messages me and is like sorry. it was just a lot and basically saying it scared him how much he liked me. and i’m like ok cool we can keep it casual and yk still hook up and he’s like ok cool. so we’re seeing each other pretty often for like a week and a half or so and like we’re still kinda acting all cute and stuff and we talk about how we’re not going to have sex with other people and im a one man kind of gal and im like yeah totally fine w me. anyways, a little over a week ago he cancels our plans and and i kind of get triggered and im like well if you don’t like me just say that and was like yk you don’t have to beat around the bush. he was also just acting weird all day that day just slow replies and stuff. and so then im kind of going off on him because he’s not giving me a yes or no. and then he cuts me off and said i was acting crazy. so then he unfriended me on snap and i tell him that i hope the next girl gives him teethy head and he’s basically like yo girl i don’t wanna block you and like said he’s been super depressed and i sympathized and stuff and then we hooked up again and agreed there would be no strings attached. and then a few days later i ask if we could go back to being cute and he said yeah i said cool and that’s the last i heard from him. and like i kept blowing up his phone. i’ve sent him so many texts in the past 3 days. no matter how hard i try to not text him i end up doing it and i just don’t understand what’s wrong with me. why do i obsess

2024.05.15 09:16 Exact-Anybody1734 My brother has turned into a pretentious jerk

Hi Reddit, so I’ll try to keep this as concise as possible while still giving you all the facts. Let us start from the beginning, my at the time 21 y.o. step-brother, was going through his first big break up. Instead of confiding in others or taking time to understand his emotions he instead picked up a book about the stages of love. Let me also explain that my brother has never been the smartest guy and mainly gets by on his good looks and charm in his life. Anyway this book gave the usual “love requires fighting to work it shows that you care about the other” you know stuff everyone already knows. I’m guessing because it came from a book ,or because it was plainly saying what he was too naive to understand about what he was feeling, he became infatuated with every line. Anytime I would have relationship problems he would quote the self help books he had read since and recommend me ones to read. This went on for while but eventually I finished nursing school and moved out of my family’s house (which is my mother’s house, this is important for later) to start working.
Now fast forward to four years later. I’m living on my own with my the love of my life, working the night shift in the hospital like I’ve always wanted. On my way home on night I called my mom to catch up on my drive home. We started talking and eventually I asked about my step-brother. She explained that he was still living at home and had no plans on getting a job or moving out (for context my brother graduated with a master’s degree a year ago). I found that odd and asked what he is doing now. My mom explained that he just makes music and does podcasts with his friends. He apparently says he wants to be an entrepreneur. Which is fine everyone wants to make it big doing what they love doing however. My mother also explained that he constantly invites people she doesn’t know to her house to hangout and when she gets off of work she comes home to strangers that expect her to cook for them. My mother then started tearing up saying “I don’t feel like it’s my house anymore”. That’s when I got upset. I asked her why doesn’t she kick him out or at least start asking for rent so he has to get a job. She explained that she wanted to do that but my step father wouldn’t allow it. My mother and step father have a wonderful marriage and never fight, but because my stepbrother is his son he has attachment to him. My mom recently had to kick her daughter (my blood related sister) into the camper as well since my step sister (19 y.o.) lets her boyfriend stay on weekends in what used to be the girls room. My mother keeps explaining that all of these situations are putting stress on their marriage and by kicking out her daughter she feels like she betrayed her just so my stepfather’s kids can get their way in her house.
After this phone call I was livid so I called my step brother to confront him. After asking the normal “hi how are you” I asked if he has started looking for a job and he said “why would I?”. I responded “so you can work and move out”. Then he said “im in my 20s this is the time you are supposed to chase your dreams” he then pointed out that I always wanted to be a YouTuber or streamer and I should go for it. I then said you know I have a job now and I have to give that job a lot of my time in order to afford the life I live. He basically laughed and explained that there is always enough time. Not much important was said after that.
Now fast forward a few weeks later I see posts from his Instagram talking about how “social media is poison, take back your life, put down your phone, etc.” (Crazy to post that on social media btw). I have also come across his podcast which are just him and his friend who both have the combined IQ of a beheaded chicken explain that the universe is big and has like billions of stars and stuff. 0.0 his entire personality now is saying basic facts at the surface level and then acting like it’s deep as fuck. Furthermore the constant insistence on following your passion mixed with the complete ineptitude of being able to comprehend how smug and pretentious he is during any interaction has breed some real distain from anyone who can see through his act.
All of these posts about self help combined with the complete ignorance of how his actions putting a negative effect on our family has really put a barrier between us. I really don’t think I can take it anymore and I want to either try to explain that he has become a pretentious douche who only keeps around yes men who all think a fact for 5th graders they learn at the zoo makes them better than everyone else, but I honestly think he will just say I don’t understand or maybe I should read this book about stress. I’ve went over the situation with friends of mine and they all laugh when they see his posts and hear him talk now. For God sake he held his 25th birthday party recently and said for everyone to bring a book to exchange knowledge to one another and wear business casual.
I just want my mom to feel like the home she worked tirelessly as a single mother all those years to afford for our family is hers. I have always been so close to my brother and I want him back as a friend. I want my sister to be able to live in the house she was raised in instead of in a camper.
Well that’s everything as of now left out a lot of stories about him being directly wrong about facts he tells us or times he got called out and embarrassed about shit but I think I’ll just leave it here. I plan on confronting him soon I just don’t know what to say. Thank you for your time.

2024.05.15 09:16 jayantbhawal ✨ Hey all! We launched Middleware on PH today. It's an open source dev productivity tool that isn't hated by engineers! :) ✨

Hey everyone! We're a small team of engineers who quit our cushy jobs at companies like Uber and Maersk to build a developer productivity tool that isn't hated by engineers.
✨ PH Link: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/middleware-open-source
Way too often engineering leadership chooses metrics that are distant from what actually matters for identifying engineering productivity, as such devs get measured on things like lines of code, or commits which are super gameable metrics. This just leads to devs hating their managers and senior engineers leaving their jobs for better orgs.
We did something about that, and we'd love it if you could check it out and give us an upvote! ❤️

2024.05.15 09:15 OrneryEntertainer942 Am I being paranoid or does my boss dislikes me

Will start from the first me [25F] joined the current manufacturing industrial company from a IT company. The current job hop happened when I was 1.5 years into my IT career. So it was overwhelming for me how a day ago I was doing security patching and now am surrounded by all these machineries and welding stuff, they make air distillation columns.
Now 9 months in to this new career as a Quality Assurance Trainee, i still feel like I'm going no where. A new company intern has joined and i see massive potential in him and he could be a better asset than me. Now again i heard another intern is joining from America and the reality of "oh well am replaceable" is hitting me.
My boss initially when I joined, in front of another department asked me about isometrics and I had no idea so I told "no I don't know" and he laughed and all then proceeded to explain it to me. And after that meeting he said, you graduated from mechanical 2 years back and you don't remember it, seems like IT ruin people.
He is helpful and guides me through times. But some back hand comments have affected me. Like once i didn't know how to use a punching machine because last time i used was 8 years ago and this one was quite different rather the normal one you see. So he went "You need to be taught everything".
Now in this new job I was hellah depressed at the first 2 months fully suicidal. 3 weeks into joining he had a meeting with me and he told me you don't know any of the company procedures. I felt like a looser and still do. from there the nightmares started. I couldn't sleep because all I could think about was NCR (non conformity report)
But the nightmare's stopped eventually, until recently it got worse so My boss has 2 sub ordinates in which one i have no idea what work they are doing? Their responsibility was this Gemba file. Now it has come to me and I'm the one dealing with it along with the new intern. NCR log full control on me. with 85% completion done by me. and i have close NCR verify root cause and corrective action taken. corrective action verification and CoPQ. Have to follow up for internal audits, Quality capitalization. I feel like am doing a lot and still not satisfied with my work.
Recently my boss went for vacation and during that time there were 2 NCR which needed RCA and since he told me to do check that and i said okay. He was not here and we needed Internal meeting with concerned stakeholders so i asked my boss's boss who is HOD of our department, what to do and he said, no do just fact verification. And once my boss came back. He asked for this and i replied I didn't do RCA cause this is what happened. And he went so it feels like you're boss is not me but our HOD. And after that nightmare's started which lead to, where i couldn't talk to my HOD also. Like my boss getting angry at me telling he is the boss of me so do what I say. Declining a promotion because I was doing a bad job and my boss won't like me if I get promotion cause I'm underserving.
Yesterday I had another meeting and i was not able to attend a meeting which happens daily, and in that daily meeting we update the status of current number of NCR and CoPQ etc. through a dashboard graph which to be updated regularly at 1:00pm. For updating easily info is given through a group chat in WhatsApp and it is to be updated in a google sheet file, before going I told him I'll update it but i got busy and forgot to update it. My boss called me during the meeting and i didn't answer the call cause meeting got prolonged and once i came back, he went " Where is the update, you told me you will update it." And i didn't replied anything. Just said sorry and I updated that file. My only question is it's a copy paste data, why did he wait for me? and it should be updated at 1:00pm I left for meeting at 12:15pm so if i update then the data would be in accurate. He has explicitly told me it should contain data till 1:00 pm
TLDR My boss doesn't value me and it's affecting my personal life. I wonder if it is workplace abuse

2024.05.15 09:15 Smooth-Pen-8668 How do you know when it’s not worth it to continue relationship? 29F w/ 32M for 10 years

I (f29) have been with my partner (32m) for 10 years now. We are not married, but he did give me a ring over 2 years ago when we found out I was pregnant. He didn’t exactly ask the question in the moment, and we have never honestly discussed actually getting married. And at this point I feel this terrible fear about the idea of it now, because I’m so unsure of whether or not to continue our relationship. There have been a number of things I have told him I need from him in our relationship over the years, and they are always the same things. I don’t feel like he’s affectionate towards me, like we have cuddled in bed or on the couch maybe 3 times in the last year or so at least.That carries over to our sex life, which is often initiated by me, and only happens a couple times a month tops. He doesn’t really like to go out and do things (dinner,movies, etc). He rarely attends my family’s get togethers (even though I take our daughter to his family’s parties even if he’s not going, which he doesn’t 90% of the time) I work part time weird hours and he works full time so we don’t have to pay for day care. When I’m not at work, I’m on duty with our child and handle paying bills (with both our money), doctor visits, grocery shopping, socializing our child, doing all laundry, dishes and cooking. He works long hours and hasn’t tried to get a different job like I suggested because he says he often complains of being gone too much. (Please keep in mind, our monthly bills TOTAL are less than $1.2k. Mortgage,water,electric,no car payments. It’s not like we are in desperate need of money) I’ve also expressed to him that when he is home, I wish he’d be more present. He spends a lot of time on his phone texting his buddies, scrolling and sports gambling. And I get wanting to wind down after work, it just feels like he’s missing things because he literally is sometimes. Now I’ve communicated all of this to him. Multiple times, for each thing I’ve listed. Usually things improve for a week or maybe a couple weeks. Then slowly but surely, it’s the same and I feel the same as I have many times before. I guess I’m hoping maybe there’s someone out there who will read this and find similarities. And maybe they have some advice for me. How do you know when to stop? If it wasn’t for our child, I feel like I might already have been gone. I’m tired of feeling like I’m never a priority when I have put him and his mental health above mine. And now with a child I feel even smaller. He is truly a good dad, and I know he loves me, but sometimes I wonder if it’s enough. I don’t want to bash him like I am perfect because I’m not, but I just need to know if my feelings are valid. Thank you to anyone who takes a second to read this or comment, I don’t have anyone to talk about this with, but even just writing it out feels kind of therapeutic.

2024.05.15 09:15 Latter_Living_7788 my parents are creepy and manipulative.. please help me :(

I'm a girl, im 17.. I have bad depression and anxiety from my parents... when I was little, I feel so safe and happy and comfortable around my parents, but it's like as I got older... I realize they are manipulative. Both of them are the cause of my misophonia, they are always making weird noises around me... My dad is always sniffing loudly, and making weird grunting noises around me, they sound innapropiate, I feel violated and raped everyday... Hes the main one I try to avoid.. he always lectures me, saying manipulative things like "you have no reason to be depressed, depression isn't a mental illness, I had it way worse" "you have food, clothes, drawing paper and a roof over your head, you should be happy, why choose to be sad" this is some of the things he said in one of his recent lectures.. and hes so creepy honestly as a person, he also said "if you're so depressed why do you eat happy food in the kitchen, you might as well eat depressing foods like eating your own boogers or drinking boring water and eating boring food like bread" he also gets mad at me like it's my fault that he's creepy and manipulative. He says things like "I'm tired of you ruining my dinner just because you feel depressed, stop making other people miserable just because you feel violated, I don't want to hear about your feelings while I'm eating" he gets upset if I'm holding my hands a certain way. he says "stop holding your hands like that, put your hands down, how is that comfortable" he's always controlling me. My mom took up for him... She never says anything but it's like this time she was agreeing with him... I wanted to prove to him that he was wrong, because I'm tired of this.. I said "but it's comfortable to me" he got angry and said "are you trying to make me angry" this is what my "mom" said... She said "don't talk, don't say anything just listen" she kept talking and talking up for him... my dad said "and it's like she's always trying to fight me" he said to my mom.. my mom kept betraying me and said "because it looks retarded when you put your hands up like that, only people with special needs do things like that, people will look at you and think you're retarded" I couldn't anymore... My dad agreed with her and said "exactly".. he thinks I'm "insane" because I have depression, hes always asking me weird things that make me uncomfortable like "do you want to go to the insane asylum" "if you don't stop acting like this people will see you and call the insane asylum people on you and they will kill me and take you away" he says that I'm selfish because I have "alot of things" and that he "feels the same wa", that he's depressed because I avoid him, like it's my fault he's annoying and creepy. My parents are also on this weird religion and the think the world is gonna end, and they say if I don't stop acting like this I will get destroyed and go to hell. I can't even have depression in this house... I can't even remember everything he says because when I get stressed out and overwhelmed I forget things alot,but let's just say he's just manipulative just narcisstic and I feel so trapped. He also says that he's the "man of the house" and that we should do what he says, and that if he's not happy, no one else is gonna be happy either, he acts like he's the god, like everything is about him.. he always guilt trips me and says he's sick and hes an old man and I act like I don't care.. he's always saying disturbing things like I will regret this one day... He is just very manipulative, he always says manipulative things and he just makes me feel uncomfortable, I feel violated... I also feel like he's a pedo he's always making weird grunting noises around me.. my mom makes me feel uncomfortable and violated alot too, she's always making weird signing noises around me, always touchy feely, whenever she's around me it's like she's moaning I don't know I feel uncomfortable even saying this- and she gets upset if I get angry and tell her to stop.. I also have anger issues and get frustrated easily, and it's mostly because my parents.. today she tried to give medicine in this syringe thing, she told me to put it in my mouth, and when I was trying to it sounded like she was moaning. I got very uncomfortable and pulled away and yelled and told her to leave me alone, she gets angry and says "be quiet your dad is going to hear you" and it's also so creepy how it sounds like she's grunting when she talks or is around me, I get creepy vibes from her, like she's creepily obsessed with me, she is always touching me, she won't get out of my face.. it's mostly my dad because he just scares me and makes me want to run away and hide, I get even more creepy vibes from him.. but my mom is also starting to make me uncomfortable, I feel like she's creepily obsessed with me... :( She walked away and said "you get on my damn nerves" like she's upset I feel violated and abused. I said "you're creepy" she got upset and said "you're the one who's weird you keep telling and screaming" I can't anymore.. it's like she gets mad at me for feeling violated... She is also manipulative, and just creepy.. she is always looking at me weird. everytime she hands something to me it sounds like she's moaning, and I pull away in discomfort. one time she handed me food and I took it out she wouldn't stop touching my hands. She touched my hand before I pulled away, and made a Innapropiate sounding signing noise. I pulled away, feeling very uncomfortable and creeped out. And she gets upset when I tell her to stop. Like she gets upset that she can't harrass me.. she's also creepy :( it's hard to be around them during dinner, they are always signing and grunting around me when they are eating food, and when I get uncomfortable from this I go to the bathroom, he lectures me for "staying in the bathroom too long" and " I know you're staying in the bathroom to avoid me" and "if you don't stop acting like this you are going to bed". Whenever he lectures me,whenever I try to tell him he is wrong, he doesn't listen and says I am "talking back" he always cuts you off. This is why I hate him, and don't like to be around him. He says even more narcisstic things like, "you came from me, you might look more like your mom but you're really me" the other time he said this, I told him "but I'm not you" he gets upset and says "I KNOW YOU ARE NOT ME, BUT YOU STILL CAME FROM ME" he is always saying that if I don't like him, then I don't like myself, he says that "you think I am annoying look in the mirror sometimes" I hate him... both of my parents say narcisstic things, and just make me feel uncomfortable everyday.. I have pgad from feeling so violated from them, and other problems caused by them.. my dad is always asks me why I'm depressed, in his lectures, over and over, and won't stop asking me to give him an "explanation" on why I'm depressed, he makes me so uncomfortable. But I have to force myself to answer his questions, even though it makes me uncomfortable.. I just feel so stressed out and burned out from being around them, like they suck up all my air in the room, like they take away my energy and comfort.. even when I am by myself, like now, I still feel their presence... I feel so uncomfortable even writing this, I am not good at explaining things, but I just had to get this off my chest, I feel so lost and trapped.. do you think my parents are narcissists.. I have felt so violated and depressed once I have attempted running away, my mom scolded me chased me down the road, I can't even run away, I feel so trapped and helpless.. please help me.. :(

2024.05.15 09:14 kaleviko [All] When you read these stars

In Missing Pieces, Agent Phillip Jeffries checked in to a Buenos Aires Hotel named Palm De Luxe.
Another kind of "de luxe" is a Rolex wristwatch that according to the company itself is une montre de luxe. Another kind of palm is a date, as in a date palm. These seemingly unrelated kinds would then come back together because a Rolex watch has a date on its clock face, like seen when Andy glanced his in P5.
Stars turn, and the time presents itself.
Andy's Rolex was also linked to another luxury item, Mr C's 2015 Mercedes-Benz S 550 Coupé the three-pointed star of which matched the position of the hands of Andy's watch, giving us the likely answer to the Log Lady's P2 riddle about "stars turning" and the time presenting itself. There may have been all sorts of transformations here so that also another Mercedes, the 2001 Mercedes-Benz C-Klasse driven by the Polish Accountant, was this same item. As the story moved forward, it seems to have been in constant flux so that select characters and their surroundings kept wildly changing from one scene to another.
We got another riddle about stars in P13 when Hawk revealed his ancient map to Sheriff Truman. Earlier in P9, the deputies had found some information with two dates on a piece of paper inside a metal tube left behind by Major Briggs.

Hawk: "The Major also gave us a date, day after tomorrow. If you read these stars --"

Hawk waved his hand over the rudimentary starry sky of his map.

Hawk: "-- you find that same date --"

The date that Major gave them was a shooting star.
He pointed multiple times at a specific location on the map. We didn't see what it was exactly but since he had already pointed at the Major's old station on the Blue Pine Mountain, "that same date" was somewhere up and right from the mountain.
Among the stars on the map's sky, there was one different, a shooting star on the area that Hawk appeared to point at. But how could a date and a shooting star link to each other?
This takes us to Agent Tammy Preston whose real name was given in the credits as Tamara,. Coincidentally, the name "Tamara" means a date palm. She was also a star of different kind, like Albert recalled in P12.

Albert: "Agent Preston, you've been on our radar since you made the honors list at George Washington High, not to mention the dean's list at MIT and top of your class at Quantico."

Pay attention to the shooting star.
Later in P16, after telling her story, the manufactured Diane got agitated and draw her pistol. Whatever she planned to do, Albert and Tammy were faster and shot her. At 41:24, there was a strange glitch. Briefly, only Albert was behind the desk, drawing his weapon, whereas Tammy had disappeared. But after a quick cut to Diane getting hit, Tammy was back, shooting Diane as well.
As usual, the glitch right that moment probably urged us to pay attention to Tammy. On computer screens behind her, there were two FBI emblems. The emblem is decorated with 13 stars, making her surrounded by stars. She was shooting, and there was fire coming from her pistol.
Perhaps Tammy was the "date" that was also the "shooting star" in the starry sky on Hawk's map.
So, on one hand, we got a star linked to Rolex and Mercedes-Benz and on the other, a star linked to Tammy. Would these two star riddles perhaps meet each other so that ultimately they were about the same thing?
In P2, Mr C's Mercedes went to a storage and he got a Lincoln Town Car. Jack appeared to have got himself into some trouble with him. A bit later, Mr C told what happened.

Mr C: "I killed Jack two hours ago after he wired the car."

It wasn't clear if he meant the Mercedes-Benz or the Lincoln. Another strange exchange around wiring was later in P4 when the FBI team was wrapping up at Yankton airport.

Cole: "You're wearing a wire, Tammy." Tammy: "You asked me to!" Cole: "Right. Go wait in the restaurant."

The star turned, and an hourglass presented itself.
Frustrated, Tammy turned around and went in. The two men kept staring at her curvy walking. Perhaps the idea here was that as this star turned, an hourglass figure presented itself, the time of different kind.
That this was the association we needed to make was hinted by framing Tammy in the middle of a wider shot that had the fence reflected on the windows. Later in P12, when we got to Audrey and Charlie for the first time and camera panned slowly across the room, it stopped so that on the right, there was another kind of fence visible through a window while on the left, there was an actual hourglass on Charlie's desk.
Judy has a turning figure 8.
Another name for the hourglass body shape is "figure 8". In P17, the teapot version of Jeffries kept thinking about Judy when Cooper and Gerard paid him a visit, even if nobody was asking him about it.

Jeffries: "This ... is where you'll find Judy. There may be someone -- Did you ask me this?"

In the steam, the "two birds with one stone" symbol of the green ring appeared and quickly transformed into number 8. A dot appeared on it. The number turned around, just like Tammy turned her figure 8.
To Tammy and the blue rows.
The last we saw of Mr C's Mercedes-Benz was in P2 when it disappeared behind a coiling door that looked like a set of blue rows. Later in P12, Tammy agreed to join the FBI's Blue Rose task force, and they all cheered for her.

Cole: "To Tammy and the Blue Rose!"

You got a date with a Bell who might show up as a luxury timepiece.
In Missing Pieces, when Jeffries arrived to Hotel Palm De Luxe, he got a note from "Miss Judy". The receptionist held it for a while so that it was framed between a heavily decorated clock face and a bell. Perhaps this was the shot that gave Lynch the idea to cast Chrysta Bell in the role of a the character who would also appear as a luxury watch.
The male characters driving or having a Mercedes-Benz - the Mr C in the opening episode, garageman Jack in P2 and the Polish Accountant in P16 - or wearing a Rolex - Red in P6 and the Andy on the logging road in P7 - seem to all have been various incarnations of Phillip Jeffries, changing from one appearance to another. He was, after all, a former FBI Agent. At the same time, these cars and watches seem to have been abstractions for the same character who appeared as Tammy. Assuming she indeed was Judy, the two of them seem to have hit it off and gone together to their own worlds.
The Major also gave us a date. This would now take us to Cole's story he told to Albert and Tammy in P17.

Cole: "For 25 years, I've kept something from you, Albert. Before he disappeared, Major Briggs shared with me and Cooper his discovery of an entity, an extreme negative force called in olden times 'Jowday.' Over time, it's become 'Judy.' Major Briggs, Cooper, and I put together a plan that could lead us to Judy."

The little story was prefaced with inconsistent acting and repeated footage, as seems usual to help us connect the dots. At 2:21, there was a shot of Tammy and Albert. Then back to Cole who quietly stared at Albert and then looked at something in front of Tammy. Cut back to the other two, Tammy's wine glass had jumped to another location, and now she held her right arm with her left. There was a cut back to Cole, repeating the exact same footage we just saw, with him again looking at something in front of Tammy.
The glitching may have suggested that the topic of Cole's story was right there, listening how the boys had a plan to get to her. Apparently, the Major had had a role to play why and how she was there - it was him who had discovered Judy and given the "date", apparently then Tamara Preston. Coincidentally, later in the episode, she was in the Twin Peaks Sheriff's station 10/2 at 2:53pm.
But there were two dates on the Major's slip of paper, implying that things weren't quite as straightforward.

2024.05.15 09:14 Nineteencats AITA for not going to my step brothers wedding?

I (19f) have been asked by my father (45m) to go to my step brothers wedding, technically I’m “invited” but my step brother hasn’t said a word to me the only person who’s mentioned it is my dad.
For some backstory my parents are divorced and my mom got custody of me when I was 6, my dad is in the military so he never really lived close to me and I would be inconsolable whenever I had to go visit him because I hated being away from home, this only got worse when he married my step mom and moved states away.
Since he was so far away I would see my dad once a year maybe twice but the one time I would see him each year was in the summer for 2-3 months which is also when my step brother would visit my step mom, but for the 3 summers I spent there I talked to my step brother a handful of times, there’s no particular reason for this we just didn’t really get along I guess.
So basically I never talk to my step brother and I barely know him and I definitely don’t know his fiancé. I’ve “met” her twice but we didn’t talk to each other and no one even introduced us.
So today my dad texts my mom and asks her if I’m going to the wedding which is super weird considering that I’m an adult and he could just ask me but whatever, I tell my mom I’ll call my dad so that she doesn’t have to deal with this. When he answers the phone I get an annoyed “hey” which is out of character for him because he usually answers with something fun like “whaddup kiddo” so I instantly knew he was mad. He asks if I’m going, I say that I’m busy that week (which isn’t fully true but it kinda is) and then he says it would be nice if I went because I could see my grandparents who I haven’t seen in a while.
Now my grandparents are a whole different story but basically they never really made an effort to see me and the only communication I have with them is a “happy birthday” text from my grandma every year and i didn’t even get one for my last birthday and the birthday before that she forgot my birthday and sent it the day after (lol)
Back to the phone call with my dad I tell him that I’m going to be in the state that my grandparents live in soon and maybe we can arrange something then, he doesn’t really say much about that and then he says “alright I’ll talk to you later” and we hang up. I start crying because I could just tell he was mad at me but I go on with my day until around 15 minutes later he calls me back and tells me that he’s very disappointed that I can’t take 3 days to go to a family event, I’m feeling emotional at that point so I just tell him that I feel like a stranger around his family and all he has to say about that is “you wouldn’t feel like a stranger if you went to family events”
I really truly do not understand this because it’s not like my entire family is going to be at this wedding it’s going to mostly be my step brothers family and I’m just not comfortable being around people I don’t really know, especially at a wedding.
But in any case my dad is super pissed so…AITA?

2024.05.15 09:13 sexyredpanderp I belong here

I woke up in my usual setting. A mostly dark room with a single bulb at the top. The walls were cushioned with what looked to be firm pillows. The only way out was a rusted, steel door with no knob. There was an opening in the middle of the door that would sometimes open to give me food with a male voice that would ask me occasionally, “How are you feeling Emma?”
I generally answer with a sarcastic retort like “Fine and dandy!”
I don’t remember why I was put here. Seems like something terrible if I’m in some padded mental hospital room. I remember watching shows like Mindhunters where the serial killer always came out of this scary, dark room like this one. Rooms like these are reserved for the worst of the worst. Usually for those not fit for regular societal norms.
I can never really remember what I did that was so horrible. I would briefly see flashes of me, my husband, and my two daughters doing fun family things. I remember going to Disneyland and doing long road trips to Yosemite. I loved them with all my heart.
Is all this because I hurt them?....What could I possibly have done to them?
I hear the usual screams from the other rooms at the ward. Screams of agony. Then there’s me, just quietly, slowly sinking my teeth into my fingernails just so I can feel something. The blood dripping down to my forearms.
It was the next day. I think?
The same voice alerted me as a hand came through with a tray of food. The usual chicken strips, beans, and apple juice.
“You alright Emma?”
“Yes sir” I said.
Time passes as I bang my head against the cushiony wall.
I suddenly remembered a courtroom. An argument between me and my husband.
He told me “How could you do this?”
Jesus….What did I do? I remember my kids crying as he pulled them away from me.
“4 years for domestic violence.” the judge ruled in court.
I lean on a dark corner of the room, dozing off. I remember being in the kitchen with a knife on my right hand and having blood on my left. I hear screams. Glass crashing to the floor.
And then a flash. That must have been when I got arrested…
I woke up from a nightmarish slumber, a tear going down my face. I just wanted to die.
I hear the attendant coming back.
“You okay Emma?”
“I deserve to be here don’t I?” as I burst out crying.
“It’s okay Emma. It’s better this way. I can’t let you tell on me again Emma. This way we’ll be together forever. Selena and Lana are just next door. See? We’ve never been so close. I’ll take good care of you all.”

2024.05.15 09:13 spinning-colors From the Perspective of a Rapist

I am a rapist. I am a man who rapes women. It's sort of my thing; it's what I like to do.
I wake up and stretch my womangroping hands in a yawn. I put on my clothes and think about all the beautiful women I'm hopefully going to rape today. I greet the mailman outside and he gives me the morning paper. As he walks off down the road I imagine what his wife's breasts would feel like in my hands. Not bad, I think.
I sit down at my breakfast table and unfold the paper. I read the headline:

TRANSPEOPLE BANNED FROM BATHROOMS

WHAT?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!
What am i going to do!? Oh my GOD! NO! That was my entire plan! I was going to go buy a nice dress, do my makeup real nice, get a real expensive wig, get my nails done, maybe take some hormones for extra measure, then sneak into bathrooms and rape women! Oh god! I never thought to plan for this! The bathroom door bouncer will surely stop and check under my dress and catch me. I can't do this. They really done me in with this one. I can't believe it.
Well I suppose... if there really is no alternative... I guess I will just have to give up raping. I know it's my life's only purpose and all, but I just don't see how I can keep doing it like this. Damn. I guess I could take up knitting while I'm at it. I think I might knit sweaters for homeless children from now on. Yeah. Now that I think about it, maybe I never wanted to be a rapist at all?

2024.05.15 09:13 Timely-Worldliness-3 I just needed a little compromise

I know it was your first relationship. At 28, you had already been through so much, having been on your own for 13 years. You were forced to grow up too fast, and had to prioritize yourself, building a life from nothing. I get it. It was your fierce independence that made me fall for you in the first place.
I always knew that trying to build a life with you was going to be a struggle. I thought it would be worth it, for both of us. You deserve to have someone in your corner, that always has your back. You shouldn’t have to be alone. I don’t know if you believed the same.
I think I gave up too much of myself for you. Was that my mistake or yours? Did you really ask for too much, or did I give too freely without expectation for anything in return? Maybe both. Probably more on me. I’m not perfect by a long shot.
Compromise. It really does all come down to that. I tried to show you its importance, but in the process I ended up being the only one willing to do it. Me getting to pick what movie we watched or getting to plan a date became something I only got to do on special occasions. You said you felt like you didn’t know me, but so many times in so many ways I offered up little pieces of me to you. I share myself by sharing the things I love with the people I love. But more and more towards the end, all you’d say was “no”. Ignoring any context. Ignoring those pieces of me.
I know you don’t like movies about kids. I know asking to watch Home Alone during Christmas was a big ask. But it was a tradition that I shared with my dad, who I lost just over a year before. I know you think that traditions are pointless, but it was important to me. My earliest memories are of that. I needed to continue on, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it alone. I needed you there, your support. It was such a small gesture I was asking of you, but all I got was “no”. Instead we watched a movie you picked: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. A movie made by the exact same people that made Home Alone, and with even more kids.
We wanted to go to Ireland. Personally I’ve been wanting to go for years, but couldn’t because of my dad’s illness along with everything else going on. You knew that in the last 3 years I lost all of my grandparents, two uncles, my dad. I couldn’t risk going so far away for so long while everyone was sick. My mom saw me giving up the latter half of my 20s for my family, when she was hoping I would be enjoying life and seeing the world. That’s why she was happy to give us the money to have the trip of our dreams. I explained all of this to you while you were struggling to find a way to save for the trip. All my mom wanted in return was a single nice photo of us. That wasn’t even a requirement for the money. She just wanted to see me with the person that I love making our dreams come true. I know you hate having your picture taken. The only attention your dad ever gave you was when he wanted to test a new camera. It’s a trauma trigger. But I was only asking for one picture. You’d compromise for your friends, you’d compromise for your sister. You’d take pictures with them. Why wouldn’t you compromise for your partner, and the other most important person in your partners life? After a year, we have 3 pictures together, none of which are very good. I know that I was asking for a lot, but I felt so less important than everyone else in your life. Maybe you felt that as your partner, I was to be held to a higher standard? I honestly don’t know. All you said was “no”.
You admitted yourself I was so supportive. I always prioritized you. From always making your tea before mine, to giving you the better looking plate at dinner, to planting all of your favorite flowers in my garden. I always complemented you, how smart you are, how beautiful you are, how driven and independent you are. Your friend needed a ride to a 5k and someone to cheer them on? I was there. You needed someone to drive you around while your car was in the shop for 2 months? No problem. Accidentally overdrew your account again, and you couldn’t afford the late fees? Here’s $50. Need to move on short notice? I’m the guy tearing apart and moving your furniture. You have a migraine so bad you can’t eat? I’m bringing you pedialyte and sleeping on your couch, even though I didn’t actually get any sleep. I learned all your rituals so not to trigger your OCD. There are countless other examples. I never said no. I never complained. You rarely said so much as “thank you”.
The big one. The thing that ended us. You’re right, we did sit down like adults time and time again and talked things out. You said you needed me to anticipate your needs. You’d get overwhelmed, and couldn’t articulate what you needed from me. You couldn’t stand being asked what you needed. You just needed me to start helping. “Mental loads” and all that. I took that to heart. But I’m not perfect. Sometimes I’d miss the mark. Tried to support you, but in the wrong way. Even in my failures I showed effort, but you never seemed to see that. You only focused on how I failed.
We recognized that this was a problem caused by both of us. The communication wasn’t getting through. But I had already adapted to your communication style as much as I could. My exited, rambling, almost impulsive way of generating ideas became slow, methodical, thoughtful. I put intention behind everything so not to overwhelm you. I learned not to jump at the obvious solution.
Yes, we sat down like adults and talked things over time and time again. You told me what you needed from me, but I also told you what I needed from you. If I was missing the mark, please just guide me to what you needed. I’m not a mind reader. I did it for you all the time. You were honestly awful at anticipating my needs too. If I was venting, had a bad day, all you’d say was “I’m sorry”, and pat me on the back like a puppy. No effort to dig deeper. No words of support or encouragement. So I had to show you how I needed support. I just needed you to do the same for me. “No”. Again.
One final time, I sent you words of support when you were having a bad day. It wasn’t enough, you wanted more. A phone call? For me to come over so you could vent in person? Did you actually want me to directly help for once? I don’t know. You never told me. Instead of guiding me to what you needed, you immediately shut down. Full silent treatment. I’ve been in abusive relationships where the silent treatment was welded as a weapon. I know you didn’t mean it in an abusive way, you were just overwhelmed again. But I never expected it from you. I didn’t see it for what it was. I only ever asked one thing from you to save us. I put in the work, got us 80% of the way there. I knew I couldn’t bridge the gap on my own. I wasn’t even asking you to put in effort on my behalf, it was for your benefit. I begged you time and time again for help. To communicate. Not to put it all on me, because I couldn’t do it on my own. But instead, you did the opposite.
You said that you felt like you were putting more effort into the relationship than I was. I’m sorry, but I can’t see that effort. I’m trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, but I can’t. Maybe you mean you put effort into forgiving me every time I messed up? Maybe you mean that you were always planning dates, always picking what we watched, where we went, what we ate, what we drank? Again, mental loads and such. But I had things that I wanted to do and share with you that you always turned down. You only had to plan everything after my plans were rejected. It would have been more efficient for you to show love, patience, and compromise. Maybe we would have worked out then.
But then you left.

2024.05.15 09:12 GreedyPersonality390 7 days Most Powerful Wazifa For Hajat

Hajat could either be a legal requirement or a person's wish that, for instance, he may have a great grade, a good job, a suitable marriage partner, having children, curing from an illness, solving the financial problems, and so on. The 7 days praying routine (Islamic prayer routine) is a tradition in some Muslim communities that they believe a person can have his hajat fulfilled by the grace and mercy of Allah (God) through this routine.
7 days wazifa for hajat
The wazifa is not a lengthy process, it just requires a few minutes to do it every day but you need to be disciplined and focused so that you can do it with all your heart for 7 days. The daily prayers and chants are intended to show the person's extreme belief, faith and dedication to have their requirements fulfilled. Here is how the 7 days wazifa for hajat is performed:Thus, the completion of the 7 days wazifa for hajat is carried out in the following way:
On Day 1: It is good to get up in the morning, preferably before the sun rises, and do ablution or wudu. Gather at the Holy Kaaba in Makkah Shareef and recite Darood Ibrahim 7 times, then recite Surah Al-Fatiha 7 times again, and raise both hands in supplication (dua) asking Allah for the fulfillment of your specific hajat. Repeat the same procedure 7 times a day you want to at any convenient moment for you.
On Day 2: Rise and do wudu. Darood Ibrahim, say him 11 times while looking at the Holy Kaaba, Surah Al-Fatiha, say it 11 times, and make the supplication of the hajat need 11 times throughout the day.
On Day 3: Do the same procedure as Days 1 and 2, but this time you will recite all the steps 13 times instead of 7 or 11 times.
On Day 4: Again, as already stated, this means that you have to repeat the given phrase at least 15 times a day and at night.
On Day 5: Redo it, but now you must do it 17 times a day.
On Day 6: In other words, do it once again, but now don't do it 19 times.
Finally, on Day 7: The last day of the haj, or the day of pilgrimage, is the day you wake up early, perform wudu, and recite Darood Ibrahim and Surah Al-Fatiha 21 times and make supplication for your hajat 21 times throughout the day.
If it is done with sincerity, focus, and pure conviction, the 7 days wazifa is believed to be the process which helps in realisation of the wish and solving the problems or the issues of concern by the grace of Allah. The power of intensive prayer and the verses of the holy books is regarded as the most potent in the Islamic spiritual traditions. Thus, be persistent and follow the 7 days wazifa regulation and stick to it with all your might.
Thus, the 7 days wazifa is a time for the believers to demonstrate their faith in Allah's mercy and to find the solution to their problems or to obtain their major needs in life. It is a strong prayer routine which demands the following: Henceforth the schooling week is full of the most participation, concentration, and truth that would be so normal for the cell.
If it is executed in the correct way of the above Answer , many Muslims claim that the very positive outcomes they have had after successfully completing the 7 days wazifa for hajat are a proof for the fact that it is a right way of execution.
