My husband loves me, and he loves Sadie. But mainly, he's tired. And so eventually Sadie got her rat. Honey lived happily in Sadie's room in his 3-tiered Rat Palace, and every day I would take time out from soothing the infant and wrestling with the 3-year-old to play with the rat, something the pet store warned I had to do if I wanted to socialize him. 

Heads up - I wrote a longer than anticipated into to this topic...if you want to skip the background and get to the meet, you can skip to the list toward the bottom!
Background:
My childhood was a pretty typical middle-class, suburban existence.
I went to public schools growing up. I went to an average state university. My dad passed while I was in college and my mom was a public school teacher so I was more or less on my own to figure life out after my dad passe.
I share that because cruising often and being able to afford to stay in suites is relatively new for us.
I'm an entrepreneur and when COVID started we were on the verge of bankruptcy, not just my business, but my personal finances as well.
I had quit my last corporate job in the tech industry 4 years earlier and hadn't taken a paycheck since. We were surviving on my wife's teacher's salary and the savings and retirement I'd built after a decade in the soulless troughs of corporate BS.
After 4 years of not paying myself while trying to raise two kids, a mortgage, and living the American dream we were at the end of our ropes financially.
I'd drained my retirement (I never touched my wife's incase something ever happened to me), drained our savings, and racked up $250k in credit card debt.
Just as COVID was beginning, I came home from the office one day, handed my wife a credit card, and looked her in the eyes holding back tears and told her, "there's $400 in this account before it's maxed out - buy all the groceries you can because I don't know when I'll have anymore money for us."
Faced with $250k in CC debt, if I couldn't turn things around we were going to going to have to claim bankruptcy so with nothing to lose, I cashed out our home equity as one final cash infusion into the business before closing shop and starting over financially.
With the money from that loan, I resolved to do three things:

1. I hired a business coach to figure out why despite growing revenue, we couldn't make consistent profits.
2. We're in a rural community so we expanded into a much larger city 90 minutes from us...my hope here was that I didn't know how long the shutdown was going to last (it definitely hit us hard early in the pandemic), but by marketing to a larger area we'd hopefully be able to make enough money to survive.
3. I was going to finally begin paying myself after 4 years of not taking a paycheck and reinvesting everything into the business.

I've been extremely fortunate that this was a turning point in my business and in the 4 years since then. We've grown by nearly 1,000% and we're now making a very healthy profit and I've built the business to where it runs without me (I work 8-12 hours/week on the business on high-level activities, primarily guiding my leadership team and handling the financials + some tech innovations periodically as I identify them). I've repaid all of our debt and I'm working on rebuilding our retirement while investing a percentage of the profits into building a new business (one that will be less employee intensive).
This is all relevant because this has put me in a place where we can afford to cruise often (6-8 weeks/year) + I have the luxury (privilege honestly) of not having to worry about PTO.
Side Note: For those of you who hate capitalists like me - my lowest paid employee last year made $50k (+ full benefits) in an area where the median income is only $33k...half of my team made $100k+. We're quite possibly the highest paying company in our region (definitely in our industry) and as a result have extremely low turnover and I'm able to hire the best of the best so we have an excellent culture.
So back to the main reason for this post - having the opportunity to cruise often, about 75% of the time in suites, I've noticed the folks we meet and interact with in the suites tend to fall in one of four categories:

1. The Status Cruiser: These are the folks we all see on social media and unfortunately on cruise ships whose entire identity is wrapped up in their loyalty status and their suite class. They are absolutely the main character and its of absolute importance to them that everybody know this. You can typically spot them from across the room before you even talk to them because they're dressed to the 9s and carry themselves in a way completely stereotypical of what you'd expect from somebody who truly believes their farts smell like roses.
2. The Retirees: There's a good amount of overlap between this persona and the Status Cruisers mentioned above, but they're not all like this. The ones who don't overlap with the previous group tend to be extremely friendly and I've had many great conversations with them learning about their life experiences and imparting with wisdom with me on my own journey. They tend to stick to the recommended dress codes and are sometimes put off by people who don't share the same motivations for structure and etiquette.
3. The Bucket List Cruisers: These folks often save money for years, pinching pennies so they can afford what may very well be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them sailing in a suite. They often want to squeeze as much value out of the suites as they can since they may never be in one again (I don't fault them for that...make the most of it!). They're often dressed to the 9s as well but sometimes appear less comfortable in the various social situations you find in the suite areas (i.e. grabbing a drink in a lounge, having a nice dinner in the suite restaurant, etc).
4. The YOLO Cruisers: I don't encounter these cruisers on every sailing, they're definitely more common during holiday sailings (i.e. Spring Break, Christmas, etc). These folks are living their best lives. The fellas are often wearing flip flops and neon tank tops and their wives/girlfriends in cut off jean shorts and a see-through cover-ups over their bikini tops. Fortunately they typically aren't over the top obnoxious, but they couldn't care less about any recommended dress codes or societal queues. They're there to have the time of their lives, everybody else be damned.
5. The DINKs: These couples are often from the LGBTQ+ community (not hating, just the reality), but not exclusively. They have good paying jobs and often are able to work remotely from the ship so they don't even need to use PTO. They typically keep to themselves and associate mostly with other DINKs. You can usually find them enjoying a drink in the suite lounges later in the evenings after a fun night out partying. One evening you may see them dressed to the 9s and the next they may be in beach attire - they march to the beat of their own drum but also don't really interrupt anybody's vacation (aside from maybe the folks in the first two categories who care more than they probably should about dress codes).
6. The Family Cruisers: There aren't many sailing in suites with kids, but the ones who do tend to have well-paying corporate jobs that they're not able to fully disconnect from (even on a cruise ship). They have good to great paying jobs but have limited vacation time so they prefer to pay a premium to make the most of their time off when they're able to get away. Often you'll see these parents responding to emails in-between parenting. You can sometimes catch them in the lounge grabbing a drinks in the evenings after their kids have gone to bed for the evening. We fall into this category with two kids under the age of 10.

I don't know if this is interesting to you guys but I was randomly thinking about it earlier and thought some of you may find it of interest.
What do you think? Did I leave any categories out? Do you disagree?
Random food for thought! Whatever category you fall into, and whatever type of cabin you happen to cruise in, happy sails everybody!

I contemplated sharing all of these since the first two happened so long ago, but they’re eerie enough that I think that they should be shared. I have two stories from when I was young, when I was around age 5-6. Though they were over 20 years ago, the first one I remember vividly and the other occurred later yet I can’t recall that one much at all. However, my mom tells that story like it was yesterday so I’m pretty sure my brain blocked it out or something.
So for context, my mom had me when she was 20 and was a single parent for a while. My father was completely out of the picture, so we lived with her childhood best friend in different apartments when I was young. So one night, it was dark but not extremely late (like 7-8) and I was coloring in the kitchen while my mom was in another room. I vividly remember a knock coming from the sliding glass door only a few feet away from where I was. I turned to see a middle aged man with a sinister smile, pointing at the handle to let him in. I immediately screamed, which scared this guy off, and my mom ran in and called the cops. My mom later told me he was peeping at her and her best friend for a while but this was the first time I had seen him and that he attempted to come in. Apparently he had left… evidence that he was there a couple of times but I don’t think the cops ever got him. But the rest of the time we lived there, my mom had security from her job (House of Blues) sleep over a lot for protection.
The next encounter is one I don’t remember happening but the story still terrifies me because of what might be out there and how easily these things can happen. It was a different apartment, like a townhouse, but only a few blocks away from where the other thing happened. There was a couple that lived across the street and my mom always got very strange vibes from them. The man would openly stare at me (around age 6) and my mom’s best friend’s niece (who was 11) when she would stay over, which would prompt my mom to angrily yell at him for being creepy for staring at us the way he was, calling him a perv. My mom’s best friend thought she was being paranoid but then at some point, I was playing outside, and that same man lured me over into his apartment with his dog. It didn’t take long for my mom to notice I was gone… it wasn’t even 10 minutes before she ran over to come get me. The couple acted like nothing was wrong and that I just wanted to see their dog but she freaked out on them. When we were home, I told her that he took pictures of me with their dog and she called the cops. They were kicked out but the pictures were never found… which creeps me the hell out to this very day.
The most recent creepy encounter was also with my mom but it was about 6 months ago. I’m still not sure if this was us being paranoid or if we were being followed but it felt wrong. We went to the mall looking for shoes for my wedding and started at Belk. My mom had to use the restroom so I went off on my own and while I was browsing, I got annoyed with this guy wearing a baseball hat because he seemed to be constantly in my way or hovering. It struck me as odd that he kept ending up around me in the women’s shoes section and I got annoyed with him quickly, shooting him a glare that seemed to back him off a bit.
The aisles for shoes are short so I noticed him walking toward another man with a newsboy cap on the other side of the section with his arms crossed. I wouldn’t have thought much of it except the two spoke briefly before baseball cap guy made another round through the section. I’m not sure how to put it but they seemed out of place, like almost dirty or something, and I felt weirded out so I pulled out my phone to text my husband and pretended to look busy until my mom came back. She eyed the baseball cap guy lingering around but I felt much safer when she arrived, and I loudly complained a bit about the selection and “surroundings” so we headed somewhere else.
We went into a bunch of different stores and when we were on the other side of the mall at an Earthbound (trendy hippie store if you’re unfamiliar), my mom made a loud comment how she kept seeing a guy in the same stores we were in. In the moment, even though I did have a strange feeling, I waved it off to keep browsing since I don’t go to the mall often and wanted to enjoy the day with my mom. She said she must be going crazy when I blew it off but the next store was when my mom’s suspicions grew into a serious full blown anxiety attack.
I honestly was still oblivious to this guy but I saw how she was looking around a lot, had us weaving through people and quickly going down aisles. Like I said, I still wasn’t paying attention to the people around us so I bought a couple of things but as soon as I had my bags, my mom yanked me and rushed us out.
While we were walking, she grew serious, kept glancing behind us and told me how she didn’t feel right about this guy with a newsboy cap and thought we were being followed. I took a look back for myself and sure enough, the man she described, and I finally recognized him as the same guy I briefly saw in Belk an hour or so ago, just left the same store we did and was walking toward us. He was by himself, looking down, carrying no shopping bags. We ducked into the first store we came across and the employees picked up on our frantic and nervous energy. When asked if we were okay, we told them what was going on and they stood in front of us, hiding us from view and assured us that we were safe. We didn’t see him (or the other guy with the baseball cap) after that but it spooked us to the point where we couldn’t even enjoy our day out anymore so we went home.
This same mall is known to be unsafe and honestly, this whole city is rampant with human trafficking so even though it could have been just paranoia, we anticipated the worst. Interestingly enough, this same mall recently posted a policy that visitors under 18 need to be accompanied by an adult after 4pm on Friday and Saturdays along with safety guidelines on how to stay safe. So there’s that.
Stay alert and aware of your surroundings. Trust your gut. I don’t walk alone without my phone in my hand, and I call someone anytime I’m in a parking lot or gas station. It’s sad but it’s always been hard to ever feel safe when I’m alone.

I know Sigewinne has had it rough (and Clorinde maybe even more so, peace to the ClorindeMains), I'll be honest, Sigewinne is a healer first, and she does a damn good job at it.
I'll be copy-pasting from my comment I made there.
With full Hp, Recurve Bow, double Hydro, 50k Hp is her baseline to max all her passives except that E buff one, not a single sub of Hp needed (just view it as Songs of Days past baked into her kit as an extra, it's not her main feature)
Her bubble now heals regardless of whether it hit or not, that's amazing, she heals 5k baseline per tick each 2 seconds across 10 seconds and only needs to cast hold E once, and heals herself by almost exactly 50% factoring in the BoL.
With a decent 50/100 ratio you can achieve 10k average dmg per tick with only Viridiscent, if you use Furina or Kazuha or other buffs, her dmg will go even higher, with just Furina at 100 stacks it's 10k as well, and her burst only takes 2.5 seconds at C0.
Her bubble applies hydro each 2 seconds in a small AoE where it bounces, so that's nice and it has amazing synergy with Clam, each 2 bounces you immediately max out a bubble at 30k heal, guaranteed, at C0 you get 3 maxed bubbles without doing anything, at C1 4 even.
With her signature you can start building Crit Dmg, making her personal Dmg skyrocket, her early constellation are really good, C1 grants full uptime on her heal and makes the imprisonment consistent for at least 3 bounces/ 6 seconds, her C2 makes her a good anchor with Furina in a mono hydro team, and bakes 35% Res shred directly into her burst.
Now you might say "but Kokomi and Baizhu already exist", well, Baizhu deals approximately 0% of a teams dps, his value lies in being dendro and his heal is a lot more finnicky, having only one team wide tick, and otherwise only single target heal. Kokomi on the other hand is extremely competitive with Sigewinne, her issue is… you need to deal with awkward uptime and specific timing to keep her heal and dmg going, both of which are tied to circle-impact^tm outside her burst mode. Now Xianyun is a good healer too, but she has a whole another issue: as the sole anemo on the team you somehow need to feed 80 energy to her.
Sigewinne is completely freed from all of these issues and her damage is still optional in the end, her main purpose is keeping your teams Hp effortlessly topped off, and as a cute extra, Sigewinne's special charged is adorable as heck!
I went through her numbers the moment her kit dropped, and all of her numbers were too clean when put inside a calculator to be a coincidence, I suppose Sigewinne was never supposed to change a lot, only her E changed greatly during her Beta, and it changed a lot for the better, high interruption res, decent hydro app, and most importantly, she can heal without needing to hit an enemy.
Needless to say I'm really excited for her!

America is in a race with itself to see which party can deglobalise faster. On Tuesday, Joe Biden slapped tariffs on a range of Chinese goods, including 100 per cent on electric vehicles. That’s nothing, said Donald Trump, who promised 200 per cent tariffs on Chinese cars, plus 10 per cent on all imports from everywhere. Biden has more to come. At this rate of bidding, US-China decoupling will be set in bipartisan stone by November. The choice will be between Biden sealing an orderly divorce, or Trump doing it in chaotic leaps and bounds.
Of course, there is far more at stake in the US election than what remains of global trade rules. If Biden’s trade war helps to defeat Trump in November, hindsight will judge him kindly. The cost of imposing new taxes on the US middle class and delaying America’s transition to green energy would have been outweighed by the benefit of saving US democracy. But it is an open question whether Biden’s move will register at the polls. Since Trump will outbid him every time, some voters might prefer to go for the real thing. In 2019, Biden criticised Trump’s China trade war for harming US farmers and manufacturers. “It’s really easy to be tough when someone else absorbs the pain,” Biden said. After a four-year review, Biden this week said he would keep all of Trump’s China tariffs and raise him on others.
Either way, America’s direction of travel is ominous. At one speed or another, Republicans and Democrats alike are now in favour of pulling up the global drawbridge. Biden’s economic and climate change arguments both fail on their own merits. Biden’s protectionist wall will eventually create and support “thousands of union jobs”, as he said. But this will impose a cost on millions of existing jobs that rely on cheap steel and aluminium inputs for what they produce. That is without counting the cost of China’s likely retaliatory measures, which will target US exports.
As Biden knew in 2019 but appears to have forgotten, the costs of tariffs are borne by consumers not by importers. Biden’s main targets are Chinese solar panels, batteries and EVs. These are capital intensive goods. Manufacturing employment is declining across the world, including China itself. For the symbolic gain of a handful of muscular jobs, Biden is imposing a broad tax on the middle class and undermining US competitiveness. Then there is the hit to his climate change policy. The cost of all forms of renewable energy has nosedived in the last decade, chiefly because of China. Some of China’s competitive advantage has been bought with subsidies.
The rest has come about because of fierce domestic competition and the scale of its domestic market. America is taking the wrong leaf from China’s book. The Biden effect will be to raise the US domestic price of EVs, solar panels and other green inputs and delay America’s energy transition. This will also price America out of export markets. China will continue to sell its cheap EVs and renewable energy supplies to the rest of the world.
Biden offered no list of steps that China should take to comply with US rules. This is because there are no rules. Successive US administrations have disabled the operations of the World Trade Organization, which would have adjudicated unfair Chinese subsidies. Biden himself is subsidising US green energy with the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. Indeed, humanity as a whole is benefiting from the green subsidy race. Unfortunately, America is not executing its industrial policy as well as China. Almost two years after the IRA was passed, the US has only installed seven new EV charging stations covering a total of 38 spots for drivers. This would be insufficient to cover a suburb in Luxembourg.
The other motive for US protectionism is national security. This explains Biden’s so-called “small yard, high fence”, which bans the export to China of high-end semiconductors and equipment that can be used for military as well as civilian purposes. It is an open question whether this will slow China’s military expansion or accelerate its homegrown shift up the value-added curve. But Biden’s theory is sound. It makes no sense to sell military technology to a potential enemy.
Against this, however, are the uncounted national security costs of deglobalisation. The last time the world was confronted with rising populism was in the 1930s. America’s initial response was to make it worse. The 1930 Smoot-Hawley Act raised US tariff barriers and triggered beggar-thy-neighbour protectionism elsewhere. This time, again, America’s instinct is to disengage: Trump across all fronts, including military alliances; Biden only on the economic front.
The US has grown tired of upholding the rules that it made in the wake of the most devastating war in history. Nuclear weapons will probably ensure there is no repeat of the second world war because it would amount to collective suicide. Today’s most potent threat is global warming. On Tuesday, Biden slowed America’s transition to green energy and moved the US a step closer to a zero-sum contest with China. The only persuasive justification is that it could help him at the ballot box.

Yesterday was my college graduation. As one might expect, it was a pretty big occasion. My friends couldn't attend because it was ticketed, but they did stick around to watch the livestream, which I appreciate.
Once the ceremony was over, I checked our group chat to see what they were up to and was welcomed by a series of messages, some good and some bad. For starters, one of my friends took a few screenshots where I appeared and congratulated me. It was very nice.
However, the others in the group just made fun of me. I can take a joke, I promise. We're guys, so we're practically always bullying each other, but lately it's been out of hand. They screenshotted moments of me walking on stage, proceeding into theater, and jabbed at how I looked. "Why does bro always look uncanny," one said. Another reacted with a GIF of a guy with comically large glasses staring into the camera. I was literally just smiling in the photo.
Very little of the conversation actually involved any sorts of congratulations. While I don't demand praise, I would expect my closest friends from high school to support me, and instead, they could only joke at my expense.
It happens all the time. My college put me on one of their new billboards to honor my achievements and advertise my majoprogram. While the picture wasn't perfect (bad hair day), the people in the group chat once again joked about it. No, "good job," or "that's awesome!" It was brought up last night too, with someone typed verbatim, "Bro what the heck. That's gonna be on their next billboard. Better than the other weird one."
I love the guys, truly. They've kept me alive and well these two years, but all of a sudden - maybe because I suddenly have thin skin - their jokes have devolved into literal bullying. How do I approach this? Do I leave them in the dust? Am I simply being a wuss?

My step father is a narc abuser. I’ve tried to be respectful my entire life but he literally doesn’t deserve it anymore. I’m 18(f) now and it’s almost like he’s angry I’m grown. Idk. Anyways our washer is broken and me and my mother are left to hand wash the clothes bc we are broke rn according to him. We have no source of income bc he made my mom quit her job. He pays for food and literally everything we need. Because we literally cannot. We asked him to help us carry water for the clothes. To help us out with them a little. And I was kind of frozen in fear when I realized I should’ve never asked a male to help with woman-like chores. Because I now have to face his shit of course. But this time it really made me feel like I need to stiffen up. To try to have as little speaking time with him as humanly possible.

So basically, I'm 21 he's 20, and he proposed on our 2-year anniversary when i was just 2 weeks shy from my due date. I felt like he didn't want the responsibility of being a father when I was pregnant so for the 1st 8 months I told him I wont hold it against him and he can leave and I'll raise her by myself with the help of my mom, and he wont have to pay child support, and on the brith certificate it would say unknown father, but he stayed and for the most part he's proved that I was right he didn't want and/or can't hadled the responsibility of being a father. Anyways I got curious why he's been ignoring so much lately I kept telling myself he's just to invloed in his game but my curiosity got the better of me and now I feel so hurt and betrayed he's been talking with some random girl on discord about me.. saying I can't cook and I need to get a job rather then just taking care of are 4 month old daughter, after he was suspended from his job non the less and I didn't even get mad at him Infact I told him I would get a job while he waits for the job to let him back in stepember so long as he can watch our daughter more, but he cant so we are liveing off welfare, ei, and family support atm. He was also telling her that he ignored me a lot on purpose because he's too young to have a baby and a fiance, and he doesn't want to get married. no one forced him to give me a ring infact his mom told him infornt of me to never give me a ring, like he was making it sound like someone put a gun to his hand and said give her a ring. he was also telling her about our sex life and that the only reason he gets off his game is because he "needs to proform his duty" theirs more but I don't want to put it all on the internet, anyways anyone have ideas why he did this of what to do beside leave him because I've tried and my abandonment issues got in the way so we will only break up if he does something to our baby our dog or he leaves me.

Sometimes I have days where it's really hard for me to get dressed. I sit on my bed instead and just browse my phone, or even just stare at my walls and daydream. This morning it took me about an hour to finally get up and get dressed. I wanted to go for a walk because it was a nice day outside.
I don't know why sometimes I can't get myself to do this. I don't know if it's because of the thought of the mild/short discomfort from being a bit cold between changing clothes? But I put my heater on to make that not an issue but it still happens so maybe it's not that.
I'm not sure what executive dysfunction is supposed to feel like. There are times when I know I should do something but don't want to do it. I feel like I should but I keep procrastinating or delaying it because it isn't fun. And then I regret not doing what I was supposed to do (e.g. not writing cover letters for jobs and then missing the deadline entirely). I also am really struggling to write a single cover letter that's tailored to a specific job. When I try to start I just don't know where to begin, I've just been applying to jobs with the same cover letter that's slightly altered for each role. I'm not sure if this is just a self discipline issue though.
I also struggle with planning things, mostly if it's something I haven't done before. Earlier in the year I had to organise a party for my friend's wedding and I couldn't do it without help, I didn't know where to start and I found the whole thing incredibly stressful and overwhelming. There are things you need to consider with planning things to prepare for when/if things go wrong which I struggle to consider. But I'm not sure if that's just because of inexperience with planning events.
So is this what executive dysfunction is like or is this just something else like inexperience and lack of self discipline?

I began talking to her back in November 2022. A common friend paired as up as we were both lonely people. She had just broken up 3 months ago. Things started to hit off, but initially it was slow for me. I used to reply her late, and not be very attentive in the beginning. Fast forward to 4th January 2023, we met for the first time. What we had on January was purely physical, but then as we spent more time together, we got to know each other. What we had was long distance, we live 480 kms apart. We met again on February and this time, things started to hit off really nice. The time when we were apart from each other, we used to call, text and communicate with each other a lot. During May, we stayed together for 11 days and that is when I saw the raw, unfiltered version of her. I saw what she was, in her day to day life, and I started to fall for her! This entire time from beginning, she used to pour a lot of efforts for me, shower me with gifts, food, compliments.
In August she faced something that hit her career hard, and she also had that pressure to get married from her family. She tried to break up with me as she was mentally exhausted with everything. However, I suggested if her family is pressurising her that much, then she should talk about us to her family. She agreed and asked if I was okay with marrying her. When I let her know that I will be happy to marry her, we didn't breakup. However, he family had backed from pressurising her and we did not have to go down that path. Fast forward to November, I was a few kilometres away from her home attending my brother's wedding. We met one day when it was a big festival in her city. She took the risk of meeting me and spending an entire day with me that day, even though she was at the risk of a number of her relatives seeing us. She didn't care, she wanted to spend that day with me. We again met few days after that and spent two days together. During the first day, I took her to a rooftop pub and she later said me that she had one of the best time of her life.
Let me give you some context before I say what happened the next day. She asked me in June to show my ex's DP (Display Picture), but I didn't like doing that. So I said I had deleted her number, which I had. Later I had collected my ex's number from a mutual friend just because I had found something that belonged to her, in my cupboard. I collected her number so that I can figure out a way to return that. So, me and my ex just had a transactional conversation about how I'd send it to her. That's it. After that I forgot to delete her number. P.S. I had saved my ex's number with the contact name "Red Flag"
Coming back to the main story, I was being very protective of my phone during those two days together because I was planning a surprise for her. She noticed that protectiveness towards my phone and asked me if I had actually deleted my ex's number. She took my phone to see if I had actually deleted my ex's number. She found the number and she was mad at me. She told me that I knew everything about her ex as she shared every detail with me, even when her ex used to message her and she used to ignore. She said "You lied to me about one of my most sensitive things, exes. I know you did not cheat but none the less you lied to me and hid from me that you talked to her". She also said me that she lost trust in me. That is the day I started to feel her drift away from me. After that she never again said me that she missed me. Before this incident she used to say a lot that she misses me, or she wished I was there with her.
She got a job on 15th March at a newly opened school and from 18th April students were supposed to join. From around 22nd of April, our communication went down from 2-3 hours a day to 20 to 30 mins a day. I figured it must be because of the new schedule of her life. This was her first job, I thought maybe she needs time to adjust. Even though she bought some of the best gifts on my birthday next week, she did not wish me at nigh. She wished me the next morning. I was a bit upset. Then I called her on 1st May as it is a holiday. I told her that I at least deserved a little update from her everyday. Even 5 mins of time per day would suffice. She said she'll try, but after that, from 3rd May she went No Contact with me. I tried to reach her out but she did not respond. 11th May I had a nightmare about her and I called her up. She disconnected and texted me "I am sorry, I cannot do this anymore. I thought about it a lot of times this week but I cannot do it anymore". My world turned upside down, I called her, she picked up and said that the new workplace, the toxic work culture, the immense pressure they are putting on freshers to the extent that they had no energy left when they returned home, the family pressure, everything stacked up high on her plate and this relationship is now becoming a baggage on her. She needs a break from everything. She said me that she is also hurting from this breakup but she is being calm about it because she does not want to make it messy. She has gone no contact with every exes in the past but she doesn't want to do that to me as she wants me in her life as a friend, as I am a good hearted human. She obviously has given me the choice to go no contact with her if I need it to move on.
Later, I found out from my friend that since February, my girlfriend had started losing interest on me. She cannot fight for a love marriage with her family based on the strength pf emotions she had. She had emotions, but not strong enough to fight for it and convince her family. Throughout the relationship I have been a bit clingy and needy due to the baggages of abandonment issues from my past relationships. I also had certain insecurities due to which she could never open up much in front of me. She is a kind of person who likes to share everything with her partner. But whenever there used to be a conversation about some other man, who she found intellectually very interesting and enjoyed a conversation with, or maybe some man who was very well in making drinks and made her some of the best drinks, I used to get insecure and make silly fights. She also did not like to sleep while on call, and she hinted me sometimes indirectly, but I couldn't catch upon it. So an accumulation of all these little things made her lose interest in me.
Now me, who was not that interested in the beginning, had fallen head over heels for this girl. This breakup shattered me. Every bit of my existence just wants to vanish away right now. It is unexplainable how broken I feel. It hurts, thinking about her is killing me from inside. I loved listening to music but I can't anymore. Everything reminds me of her. I am clinging on to the hope that if I fix my abandonment issues and learn to give space and be the kind of man she wants, maybe someday she will regain her emotions for me. I am praying to any god that listens. I want to marry her, be by her for the rest of my life, grow old with her and take my last breath while I am holding her hand.

Hello everyone. Need help deciding if it's worth keeping my current job or moving to a new one. Currently make 18.50 hr at my current job. I work at a computesoftware company that has recently grown quite a bit in the past couple years. I recieved a promotion last year that put me to a somewhat more senior position. My boss has mentioned creating a new position for me or even have me take over his position as manager for the department in a year or two when he moves on. The cons of this place are obviously the pay. We are very underpaid for what we do. However the company won't budge bumping our pay up due to the "stellar" work place environment. I do agree, it's a very nice place to work with nice benefits.
On the other hand, a friend's company had a position open up starting at 22 hr. Related to tech but completely different than what I do. Appears to be a nice company, it's growing, could be a good new adventure with alot more pay.
Do I give up the bridges and reputation I have building at my current job? Would the extra pay be worth it?

Sometimes I have days where it's really hard for me to get dressed. I sit on my bed instead and just browse my phone, or even just stare at my walls and daydream. This morning it took me about an hour to finally get up and get dressed. I wanted to go for a walk because it was a nice day outside.
I don't know why sometimes I can't get myself to do this. I don't know if it's because of the thought of the mild/short discomfort from being a bit cold between changing clothes? But I put my heater on to make that not an issue but it still happens so maybe it's not that.
I'm not sure what executive dysfunction is supposed to feel like. There are times when I know I should do something but don't want to do it. I feel like I should but I keep procrastinating or delaying it because it isn't fun. And then I regret not doing what I was supposed to do (e.g. not writing cover letters for jobs and then missing the deadline entirely). I also am really struggling to write a single cover letter that's tailored to a specific job. When I try to start I just don't know where to begin, I've just been applying to jobs with the same cover letter that's slightly altered for each role. I'm not sure if this is just a self discipline issue though.
I also struggle with planning things, mostly if it's something I haven't done before. Earlier in the year I had to organise a party for my friend's wedding and I couldn't do it without help, I didn't know where to start and I found the whole thing incredibly stressful and overwhelming. There are things you need to consider with planning things to prepare for when/if things go wrong which I struggle to consider. But I'm not sure if that's just because of inexperience with planning events.
Any perspectives are appreciated, thanks.

I am the eldest daughter (17) of 5 kids, 2 are my brothers and 2 are my step siblings. I wasn't called a maldita naman dati but when I started to live with my Father and Step mom, I am shocked na many people complains about my attitude raw.
We had a lot of Babysitters that takes care of us and does the house chores. They started complaining daw na I'm the reason they left because maldita raw ako. So far I asked what I did and they really couldn't say pano. I tried reaching out and wants to know para to be aware and change it pero they really don't answer. Guys I'm not the type of person naman na yells at them (or maybe akala nila sinisigawan ko sila sometimes dahil naturally malakas boses ko since medyo mahina pandinig ko sa one ear ko, pero i inform them beforehand naman), sinasaktan sila and pinagdadamutan. Maybe may times na pinapasuyo ko ulitin job nila because sometimes may fishy smell yung gawa or anything. Sometimes i follow the orders of my father and step mom lang naman. Then because of that my father had enough and actually slapped me due to having a bad attitude raw. I am tamad daw when in fact i take care of my other simblings when i can, and cook when needed. I also wash their clothes and clean the house. May times na palpak gawa ko and I understand since minsan puno kamay ko kasi aalis akong bahay (papasok sa school) pagod at uuwi akong pagod :,)). In fact many people told me na I'm getting thin na raw, which made me think na totoo nga ba? Then my friends told me halata raw since kita rin sa schedule at eyebags ko yung pagod ko. Now I'm currently chilling kahit papaano kasi nag rerest ako dahil katatapos lang ng Defense namin and Quarterly Exam.
Then earlier I came home late, pero nagpaalam ako na I'll go somewhere. Then nung medyo na late ako my father called and sabi nya na I'm such a tamad and hindi marunong dumiskarte na bata. He actually told me na pag napuno na raw sya he'll send me off sa mga lola ko (titas of my biological mom that died) and that I would go and take care of myself. Sustentuhan ko nalang daw sarili ko and shi.
I always tried my best to fit in to his new family, I always put on my biggest smiles sa mga helpers namin and never told them anything bad. I just feel really lost and idk what to do. How can i find money and start saving up kaya? Since cinut off din nila ng konti allowance ko, kaya minsan wala rin akong budget pang kain hahahaha. So yeah ang sakit lang :,)). I tried finding some part time jobs pero dahil daw I'm so thin and small (4'11 height ko) they believe na mahihirapan daw ako and wala pakong experience.

I would appreciate if I could get some guidance from someone with experience
I will keep it as brief as possible. Last year I got a second remote IT job, and I'm pulling in about 11k per month after teaxes, benefits, etc. I have one rental property that is bringing in a few hundred after mortgage is paid. I have an LLC started in a northern state.
I've saved around 100k liquid. I look into buying more properties, but I want to try my hand at an online business.
What is the attitude towards sites like Flippa? When it gives "estimated revenue" of net-profit per month, is that more or less correct and can be expected? In other words, can those figures be trusted?
I've never run an actual online business - I'm willing to put in work and invest in the business. But I am having a bit of a "inertia of the blank page" thing going on. Just looking for advice or a point in the right direction.
​
Or - is it better to just wait for a better time in the RE market and put a couple down payments on rental properties and collect the few hundred in profit per month? Forgive me if I'm not expressing this clearly

Hi, looking for advice about how to approach my boss about going remote. Will try to give as much context as I can while still staying anonymous.
I have been at this F500 company for >5 years and have been performing well and been promoted twice. We are currently working in a hybrid dynamic, but there’s always talks of corporate mandating us to be fully back in office. I have been in my latest role for almost 1 year, and have received very good feedback since starting it. I’ve gotten a couple of small bonus awards, and a nice % raise when it came time for merit increases; more than the standard amount. My boss has given me very positive feedback, my teammates like me, and I think I am a valuable contributor. I like my team, I like my boss, and I like my job.
So if all this is so dandy, then why am I thinking of asking to be remote? If you guessed love, you would be right. My partner of 2+ years lives >3 hours away from me. They are doing a residency program in the medical field, so neither remote work nor relocating is a possibility for them. We have been making long distance work, but with multiple years still left in their program, I don’t want to tough it out anymore.
My plan has been (and still is) to be a kick- ass employee in this new role and wait until the 1 year mark to have the remote conversation with my boss. I have been trying to learn as much as I can and have been pursuing external professional certifications to level myself up and really be an asset. My question is what kind of approach should I take for this conversation? Are there certain things I should consider that I may be missing?
Here is some additional context:

1. Changing roles/changing companies is technically a possibility, but it would be tough. The fully remote roles at my company have really dwindled, and I’m not sure if they are even posting fully remote positions anymore. In addition to this, I’m in an expensive grad school program that my company has been paying for. The agreement is to stay with the company 1 year post graduation, otherwise the money (>$100K) needs to be paid back. So changing companies is not really an option either. I can pretend to play hard ball, but I don’t really have any leverage.
   
2. When my manager started, he hired me along with 2 other individuals,both of whom are fully remote. Their jobs are different than mine, but my point here is that it doesn’t seem my boss has an aversion to remote work. But I’m not sure how much his hands are tied from the powers that be.
   
3. I have not been saying “fully remote” because my job does require me to be in person for customer meetings that happen every so often, maybe 1 week every 2 months or so. I plan to make it clear to my boss that I will still be in person for those meetings. It’s really the consistent Tuesday/Thursday in office regardless of what’s going on that I’m wanting to get rid of.
   
4. I’m a bit concerned that if I have this conversation with my boss and remote is not a possibility, they will forever after be worried about me leaving, think I’m not committed, not want to invest in me, etc. Their personality has not indicated that they would ever act with any malice, and I don’t believer they ever would, but they might from then on think that I always have 1 foot out of the door. Things might feel awkward.
   

Last time I remember was Chen's gf and now, his wife. From what I remember as a casual fan of Exo, when they started dating she made it obvious that she's with him (Exols can correct me on this but this is what I remember) but eventually she stopped
The rumored gf I'm talking about is the actress Son Daeun who is allegedly Jimin's gilrfriend.
She has posted videos and photos similar to Jimin's apartment. And just today, she posted an actual video of him that was from a behind the scene content where his head was cute, but his hands were not (background music was Spot by Zico and Jennie, it's definitely deliberate at this point). Another one was a video of him walking. There literally were a photo and video of him walking in that exact same spot, wearing the same clothes, shoes and coat. She just put a flower sticker to hide his face. But it's clear that it was him.
If they're really dating (I believe they are), out of all of BTS' rumored significant other, she is the only one so far that made it this obvious.
I wonder what Jimin thinks of this, especially now that he is in military. Fans think he's a person who enjoys his privacy, seems out of character if he encourages this. But then again, we don't know these people.
Fans of him, Sana, Suga, Loona girls and other idols who kpop fans think only like the same gender will have a breakdown. He's the first person who comes to a lot of people's mind when ask who they think is the gay one in the group. Lol

(long paragraph) So, She was my colleague and we worked together for like 6 months. At that time we were good together. Our bonding was good. I did every funny things like pulling her cheeks, her hair, hold her hands for no reason just like a boy wanted to do with her favorite girl and she had no problem with it. We laugh together, sometimes we cry together while sharing our personal life problems. She often tells me everything about her life, good things, bad things, about her problems and everything that at one point she told me that there's no person in my world who understands me better than you. I was in love with her and maybe she knows about everything. (just like the every other girl.) But, deep down i know i've to suffer alot when that day comes when actually one has to go because i know myself, an introvert. I know that i just can't talk with her even on social media after that day & that day happened after 6 months & i left my job. From that day i never messaged her, i even unfollowed her from insta so that maybe one day i can forget her and that's it...
But but, after 1 year passed, she suddenly messaged me on whatsapp like why you haven't messaged me in the last one year and unfollowed me on insta and i was like what just happened... and we randomly messaged each other just a little bit, nothing more. After some days i sent her an request on insta again & she accepted again... and now, now i'm again in that phase, again thinking about her everyday & every second just can't help myself... but my heart broke again when i messaged her on insta after some days but she didn't reply...
So what's your say, should i try again or just leave it now?? Thinking about why she messaged me again after all that time passed, that stupid things running on my mind all the time now... (ps: In that one year time, i missed her like almost everyday but couldn't tell her or messaged her but i really don't want to lose her "again"...)

Having interviews is a critical part of the relationship between us and a job. It is not only about answering questions, but to a great extent it is about selling our skills, experiences, and personality.
The interviewing of today has gone through a revolution in the digital age. They are no longer just stuck in a single physical location but can be carried out virtually, thus having no boundaries of place distances.
Interview preparation is the first step in being prepared. It is all about knowing your position, doing the homework of researching the company and rehearsing the usual interview questions. On the other hand, maintaining a certain level of predictability and character consistency is crucial.
Besides, interviews is a road that is a two way-street. It could be the chance for a candidate to either validate their alignment with the company values and their future career or the opposite.

Hey everyone,
I've been on the lookout for an entry-level job in tech , particularly in the data analyst/IT field, for some time now. Based in Ireland. I am an Irish Citizen, so I can work in any European country, including UK without visa sponsorship. I've recently completed a Data Analytics bootcamp course in London to enhance my skills. However, the job market is tough and competition is high and keep getting rejected. I have BSc cand MSc degress both related in Computing areas as well.
Now, here's the situation: My aunt owns a cybersecurity/IT company, headquartered in the Pakistan (Lahore) but with clients both in the US and Europe. The company have offices in the USA. She's offered me a two-month program to become a cloud security engineer. The catch? I'd have to head over to Pakistan for the training, followed by remote work.(Move back to Ireland).
I'm facing a bit of a dilemma. On one hand, landing a data analyst role is my top priority. But on the other hand, the cloud security engineer opportunity sounds enticing, especially with the remote work aspect and the chance to gain specialized skills (Working with AWS and other cloud system). However, I'm concerned about potential language and cultural barriers in Pakistan, and I'm not entirely sure how well I'd adapt to the new role.
Adding to my concerns, despite being born in Ireland (Born to Pakistani Parents), I can't speak Urdu fluently, which has led to some less-than-ideal experiences with most Pakistani individuals in the past due to language barriers, making meaningful conversation difficult.
If you were in my position, what decision would you make? I'd really appreciate any advice or insights you can offer.
