Sample of business communication persuasive memo
Just a reminder..
2024.05.16 21:59 LauraSinCityCwgrl Just a reminder..
I will preface this long winded anecdote with this. I reached out to Dee Dee after her live to see if she wanted to have a conversation, she said, FU.
Dee Dee and I mutually flirted with one another. illy was always in our calls when it happened. Illy is a very good person and gets shocked easily, so the flirting always made her turn red. Things were said on both of our parts that might make people blush, but it was always mutual and honestly made us laugh.
Did I ask Dee Dee if she liked me, one time? Yes, because she was flirting with me. Did she say no? Yes, and I let it go. She has often times in our 3 way FaceTimes, asked me to come cuddle with her. We mutually discussed that if we ever met, we might go “there” if you know, you know, but that was it. I never had a thing for Dee Dee. It was fun to flirt but I think in all our times talking face to face, we only talked privately a couple times and there was no flirting going on.
I stopped talking to Dee Dee because she had stopped talking and I heard she had been telling people she stopped talking to “us” because she was tired of being the only one to reach out. I have proof of the contrary. I have many many texts where myself or myself and illy reached out to her daily asking how her Mother was, long after her Mother was out of the hospital. I sent her a cheese cake for her birthday, I participated in the act of love for the homeless.
To hear that she stepped away from lack of communication on my part or illy and my part, is ludicrous. I believe she stepped away because I simply said these words to her in a 3 way call. I like Christine, I think she’s a good person. as Dee Dee was talking about their friendship being over. She got cold and distant from that point on. I then heard she told people that I was being “vile” with flirting. If I remember correctly, it was she who mentioned pulling her hair and taking her from behind and that was said in front of illy and we laughed. That’s for context only BTW.
As far as mocking her spirituality, Dee Dee has always professed her love for God, I just found her character to be questionable, and realized she had been manipulating situations, not her ability to have a relationship with God. As far as her relationship with Christine or any of this money business, I have no knowledge personally. She’s never “purposefully” asked me for anything.

2024.05.16 21:47 Least_Lock_9229 First relationship
Yo, I’m in a long distance relationship with my bf. I’m in college(21f) and he has a job like 7-5(big boy job). In the last couple of months we barely ft anymore we consistently just text. He’s super busy, and I know why. I’ve seen how he is after work, he’s super exhausted and everyday after work he works on his car(he’s completely been rebuilding it.) I’ve been trying to be as understanding as possible but it’s been creating so many problems. At the end of April I wanted to take a break I expressed how I felt and how I’ve been feeling. I’m not happy, we’ve been dating for 7 months and as time went on the worse our communication got. I told him I wanted a break bc it doesn’t feel like we’re in a relationship when we’re apart, only when we’re together. And he agreed that it felt like that. He thought I wanted to break up with him, and was begging me to stay and as we talked I gradually started to think, “maybe we should just break up.” So I tried to and he was upset. Obviously. He wanted to do better, he felt so bad, and truly expressed that all the lack of calls and less time he was giving me was because he wanted to finish his car quicker so we could enjoy the summer together, and that he’d come see me more. So I stayed. (Mind you he hasn’t been to see me since January.) In the beginning of our relationship he was coming to see me nonstop, but I couldn’t afford to come see him bc we weren’t dating yet, and his mom wouldn’t let me stay there so I would’ve had to pay for a hotel.) Eventually I met his parents and family this year and they love me! So I started visiting him back to back like he did. Even though I still couldn’t afford to see him, I was anyway. I love him. But it just doesn’t feel like he loves me??? He continuously tells me he does, and I’ve seen it when we’re together, and the way he’s gotten upset at how I’m unhappy, he’s been really emotional about it. He said he would do better, but we’ve had that conversation at least 3-4 times within the past month and half and he hasn’t done much to change the situation. I’m the one who calls, I’m the one who has to travel consistently. When we’re apart it’s like I’m put in his pile of “get to later.” It’s like if you love me why won’t you come see me more? And I constantly am trying to give him leeway bc, well, he works a pretty meticulous job and he’s 20, this is his first REAL relationship and this is my first relationship in general. I know he doesn’t know what he’s doing but, how much more of this can I take you know? Am I wrong for feeling the way I feel?

2024.05.16 21:40 JimTheMoose AU Idea: The Omnitrix actually hits Ben and merges with him. (Not edgy)
Basically, Ben doesn't get out of the way in time, and the Omnitrix hits him. The rudimentary AI in the Omnitrix panics and merges the Omnitrix with Ben's body in order to save him. This results in several changes, like Ben having Master Control, maybe with a time limit, from the beginning. The power source gives him all the energy he needs, so he doesn't need to sleep. It slowly changes him into a peak human. Somehow, the process of merging the Omnitrix with him causes the DNA samples to develop their own personalities, sort of like the Ultimatrix, and he can mentally communicate with them. He can also enter the "Omnitrix-world" by meditating. They also influence him when he uses the transformations. This means that Zs'Skayr doesn't escape the watch, but it also means that he has more influence on Ben. I might post more about this later when I get more ideas. Anyone is free to use this idea.

2024.05.16 21:39 Much-Strength5888 79 Place to Live in Inner Ring St. Louis
MAP: https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=12WtXWsPDZXN8FeCHK58aVnUzGqWMvFM&usp=sharing
I like making maps and started making a “Places to Live Guide” a while back. I picked it back up and updated it as the “is this area safe?” questions have picked up.
I want to promote our region and encourage people moving here. I also understand these questions get old, hence the responses of “search the sub” and “do research.” It also frustrates me that people only ask about safety. Sure, safety is one consideration but asking only about safety seems unhelpful. This map attempts to show more things that might matter to a person picking a place to live.
I defined 79 boundaries inside 270 in St. Louis. First, anywhere outside 270 or metro east is going to be true suburbs. Second, inside 270 should be our city limits if we were like most other North American cities. I stuck to 79 areas for the 79 neighborhoods of St. Louis City.
The boundaries are not true to neighborhoods and municipalities, but rather drawn to where the rating in one of the categories may change significantly (normally cost). Most neighborhoods/munis are split across more than one boundary. I named the boundaries by the any part of the neighborhood/muni covered.
The formula for ratings: Recreation + Walkability + Transit + Safety + Character - Cost
Ratings 1-10 for each category (10 being positive except for cost where 10 is high cost thus being subtracted from the rating).
Color Key- Red: 30+ rating Orange: 25+ rating Yellow: 20+ rating Green: 15+ rating Blue: 10+ rating Purple: Below 10 rating
I collected the following data for a score that corresponds to a rating in the individual categories:
Recreation: number of bars, restaurants, shops, attractions (includes parks) within boundaries + 1 mile
Walkability: groceries within distance from various points in boundary, wide roads, conflict points, miles of bike lanes, walkable jobs within boundaries
Transit: metrolink stops, high frequency bus routes, low frequency bus routes
Safety: property and violent crime mapping since Jan 2022
Character: historic districts, business districts, diversity
Cost: random sampling of average rent cost and purchase price
Top ratings- Overall Rating: Central Downtown (#1 overall) Recreation: Midtown-Covenant Blu Grand Center (tied #4 overall) Walkability: Central West End (Hospital District) (#2 overall) Transit: Central Downtown (#1 overall) Safety: Kirkwood-Des Peres-Glendale-Oakland (tied #76 overall) Character: Benton Park-Benton Park West-Marine Villa (Cherokee St. District) (#3 overall) Cost: Wells Goodfellow-Kingsway West (tied #73 overall)
Obviously for example, I understand a place like Ladue is desirable to live but rates low. The ratings are meant to favor well-rounded/mixed areas for the masses. If someone has money and wants a big house away from things, of course Ladue would be a nice place to live. Most places that rated low had low safety or high cost, though there are a few that punched above (Downtown Clayton for example rated well). Downtown St. Louis rates well because its built environment is objectively well-rounded. But of course not everyone wants a highly mixed use area.
I then split the places into sections to help people with a starting point: -Highest Rated Overall -A Lil’ Bit of Something for Everyone -Expensive Big Homes -Bang for Your Buck -Low Rating but Low Cost
I added three good things about each place because I think every place has great people and potential. Plus, it may allow someone looking for something specific to find a place that otherwise might be overlooked.
Maybe this could be pinned or used for quick response after some tweaking and allow people to overlay properties on the map or begin their search. After all, I want people to move here and stay here because they like it.
Please give feedback on where you disagree and what might make the map more readable or helpful. If anyone knows how to add a key, I would like to add one.
As I post this, I see a “Job offer in St. Louis…everything I see ranks it most dangerous place to live…” Man, it is disheartening. I want to see us grow so badly…

2024.05.16 21:28 SmellsPrettyGood2Me Naomi Goodsir Or du Serail: Your Favorite Honeyed Fruit Pipe Tobacco
My high school job was working at the CVS in small town East Bumblebutt*, and my absolute favorite aisle was the one with all of the pipe tobaccos. Every night as I faced the store, I found reasons to linger amongst the various bags and secretly sniff them. It always disappointed me that they smelled completely differently when smoked by my geography teacher outside during lunch breaks!
Teenage Smells PG is having her moment today with Or du Serail by Naomi Goodsir. A light dab opens with a sweet apple (barely fruit and closer to blossom), moderate amounts of honey that is not cloying, a touch of rum and a hint of tobacco. Within 30 minutes the fragrance blooms to reveal a soft flower and the tiniest hint of coconut, as the tobacco deepens. After 2 hours, it's full on sweet pipe tobacco, and I'm in heaven. After 8 hours, I can still catch a whiff when I raise my arm to run my hands through my hair.
This is the fragrance you
Scent Notes: Top notes are Mango, Red Berries, Apple and Sweet Orange; middle notes are Rum, Coconut, Mate, Ylang-Ylang, Artemisia, Sage and Geranium; base notes are Honey, Tobacco, Beeswax, Vanilla, Amber, Oak Tree, Labdanum, Cedar and Musk
Silage: Moderate (within 4 feet)
Longevity: Good (6-7 hours at 70 degrees and 72% humidity)
Cost: $4 for a sample, $187 for a 50 mL bottle
Worth It? Absolutely. This is a gorgeous, solidly unisex scent that is an all season pleasure, well crafted and highly enjoyable to wear.

This is the fragrance you
- bring on vacation with you for when you go to dinner somewhere with white tablecloths, where as the night goes on and people get closer they wonder what is it that is making you smell so deliciously, quietly refined
- wear on a chilly day while curled up with a good book and a Trader Joe's trail mix, dreaming of an Edwardian romance featuring you as the hero/heroine
- take to your business meeting for just a hint of something elegant that lightly wafts around you as you expertly present your work

2024.05.16 21:26 TheHappySkier [CA] Minor job title discrepancies in background check
My background check from Hireright came back with two discrepancies. One was a mistake on my end, the other it appears the person verifying the information wasn't accurate (or maybe didn't realize the importance of it matching exactly). I have already accepted the written offestarted the onboarding process.
So I'm a graphic designer... On one job I stated that I was a 'Designer' and turns out the actual job title was 'Production Designer'. This was a totally honest mistake. It was a short lived job and I only remember them referring to me as Designer. I had completely forgotten the production part! It wasn't until they brought it to my attention and I dug up my offer letter in an archived email and I realized I had made an error. I told them they were right and I had made a mistake.
On job two I was 'Senior Graphic Designer'. This was absolutely my job title. Evidently the person confirming said I was a 'Graphic Designer'. And his response to verify my dates of employement was "that sounds about right"—which also caused a red flag that I was asked to verify. I saw the name of the person confirming my information in the report, and when I worked with him, he was also a staff member (he's now a partner, which I assume is why he took the call), but I'm guessing he doesn't remember my exact title (also this was another job I wasn't at very long due to a move). The business owner that hired me would probably be the only one that remembers accurately. It's a very small agency so I'm sure their record keeping is different than a large corporation.
I had applied for job two through Ziprecruiter, and even though the job is closed you could see that I applied in my account history, indicating a Senior role, and the date and time my resume was viewed by the business owner. I also had a follow up email from the business owner through Ziprecruiter stating the job title. So I sent screen shots of both of those. I also sent over some email correspondence between the owner and I indicating start date and my acceptance of the 'Senior' Designer role. And I found a check from the last month I was there & my 1095-c form showing insurance coverage for the time I was employed by them as documentation of dates employed.
The whole process thus far with my new company has been so smooth and everyone has been very communicative throughout the process, but I sent these files over two days ago and haven't heard back yet. I've been checking email incessantly and making myself crazy! Wondering if I should follow up or give it a little more time? Is this something I should worry about?

2024.05.16 21:26 No_Grapefruit7950 Burnout Recovery Advice
Hi,
TLDR: looking for advice for 'deep recovery' from autistic burnout, venting/rambling a bit about my situation
Sorry for the long post, my life hasn't been great the last few years and I'm hoping that if I describe it in detail then someone might have some advice for where to go next, or be able to tell me if I'm missing something obvious. I've bolded the bits where I'm asking for advice.
I (24F) am not officially diagnosed with aspergers or anything autism related, but am recovering from what I suspect is autistic burnout. I had symptoms of moderate to severe CFS last summeautumn but am slowly recovering from it without any major crashes. When I read the description of autistic burnout I identified with it completely. The loss of skills and extremely reduced tolerance to stimulus on top of the fatigue is something I have really struggled to describe or explain to people (not helped by the loss of skills i.e. barely being able to put a sentence together to speak to someone). I've read Strong Female Character and Aspergirls, and am currently reading Unmasking Autism. I haven't completely self-diagnosed yet, but I am researching it and think it's a strong possibility. The first half of Aspergirls describes my childhood pretty well. I was often called a 'Highly Sensitive Person' and Unmasking Autism states that the creator of this term has said that the people she was talking about have since been diagnosed with ASD. Even if I am not Autistic, I often find Autistic people more relatable and easier to understand that non-Autistic people and find their advice for rest, sensory issues etc helpful to me. I am not looking for a diagnosis or diagnostic advice.
I currently feel like I'm starting my life over again, and I'd really appreciate advice on how to build a sustainable life when I have a lower tolerance for stimulus and find communicating more tiring than many people.
Context/life story: I'm from the UK. I have a degree in maths, was feeling burnt out and was going to take a gap year before doing a masters, but the pandemic happened and I moved back into my childhood bedroom. I couldn't face being stuck there again with no 'escape plan' so one afternoon I (impusively) signed up for a masters at a not so great uni and didn't do well academically. At the time I was considering a PhD and going into pure maths research. I don't have the grades to get funding for this. By the end of the masters my boyfriend had broken up with me and I'd lost touch with all my friends. The only person I 'spoke' to was my mother and even she'd say this was pretty one sided. In my dissertation presentation on zoom, I read a pre-written script and answered 'I don't know' to all the questions because I hadn't spoken to anyone in months and couldn't hold a conversation with the cashier in the supermarket about the weather let alone one with an academic about advanced maths. I scraped a pass.
After this was over (October 2021), I really felt like I needed a break. I decided I was going to have 2022 'off'. I was going to rest, get a job that didn't use my brain, move to a city so I wasn't so isolated (I live in Wales) and recover and rebuild before figuring out what I wanted to do next. I couldn't figure out how to move to a city without getting a professional job. I asked some family for advice but they didn't know either. I didn't know how to get any job near the town where I live. It's very cliquey, I don't know anyone who's got a job through a formal application process, it's always through a family or friend connection, and I'd lost touch with everyone by this point, my mother doesn't have any contacts and the rest of my family lives in another country. I get filtered out of formal applications because I'm overqualified and bad at lying. Spring 2022 I got sick of it and applied for about 5 software dev jobs. I got one basically without being interviewed. In hindsight that was the first red flag.
I moved to a city 5 hours away. I won't go into the details of the job but it wasn't great. I discovered they had a vrey high turnover for a small company. The new hires previous to me had lasted weeks, one only lasted days, before going on stress leave. I did 10 months. I signed a rental agreement for a year and was too exhausted to search for another job to pay for it. It was full time in the office because I was a junior. I had one friend who lived 3 hours away and every time we met up it was me driving to them, and my sibling needed a lot of help with uni and job stuff so I drove the 5 hours back home most other weekends. I did too much, but I didn't know how to not do too much. Within a few months of each other, my dog died, my grandad died and it was the 10 year anniversary of my dads death. I never had a bad performance review and I quit due to 'personal reasons'. The final straw for me was when I noticed in the office I was physically shaking from exhaustion when I reached for my mouse or keyboard. I think I must have been running on adrenaline or something because it was 2 months before I properly crashed. In this time I moved my stuff back to my childhood bedroom, and that is where I am now. July last year was when I crashed and thought I had CFS etc.
I would say I'm mostly recovered from the physical fatigue. I walk 10k+ steps a day and this helps me mentally. I know I should do more restorative yoga, I see this more like stretchy meditation than exercise and it also helps mentally. I used to enjoy powerlifting and I've tried a few times recently but I think I need to take that super slowly because I get carried away and it wipes me out for a few days after. Skills-wise, I am able to read books again, albeit books I've read before or childrens books. I sometimes have 'high energy' days when I'll read more non-fiction and try to plan my recovery. I am not up for doing technical computer stuff. Things I used to know still go completely over my head. Sensory-wise, I struggle having the big light on for more than 10-15 minutes at a time. I try to reduce screen time. I barely watch tv. I've deleted most social media so I only check instagram once or twice a week on my laptop, and I go on reddit or youtube if I'm looking for something in particular. I try not to listen to too much music otherwise the brain fog gets worse, but that's hard becuase it's one of the few things I feel connects me with the outside world at the moment. When family come round and there are group conversations, I cannot follow anything that's going on and it may as well be white noise. I haven't been in a public space for a while, so I don't know how I am with the background noise. I've reconnected with school friends and am going out for dinner soon, so I'll find out then. I will also find out how I hold up in conversation.
In the next few weeks I plan on looking for part time work. Any advice on suitable jobs would be welcome. I also start a compassion focused therapy group next week, after going to the doctors about this in october of last year *sigh*. I plan on working part time and living at home while figuring out what I want from a career and how to build a life. I wish I could just move to London but it's so expensive.
I see pure maths as closer to the arts than the sciences, and also enjoy fiction books (esp fantasy) and music. I played classical piano and violin/viola as a child to a reasonably high standard. I have no interest in computers really, it was just a job thats related to my degree and that I was good at. As a child I wanted to be a writer or a musician, but as a teen I prioritised moving out of my hometown and told myself that was something I didn't need to study and could work on in my free time. I had a 'maths brain' so it was easy enough to coast this path while I was grieving. I have learnt that the first things I let slide when I am stressed or busy, are the things I am interested in. Then it's chores, then my physical health. I have no idea when to stop or when to say no people. Not because I want them to like me, simply because saying no doesn't occur to me until after I've done it. I also don't notice when I am stressed or doing too much. I have gotten better at that the last few months.
In future, I think I need to prioritise my interests more than I have. I think I tried to 'fix' the stress from the things I 'had' to do with exercise and being very physically healthy. I think the solution is to prioritise working on my interests and passions. The thing I've found most helpful is keeping a diary. I started this last July. I'm now writing music and learning how to produce using Ableton. It's going very slowly but it's going. I've found creating things is better for me mentally than consuming them, even if I'm doing that using a screen. I am interested in the links between maths and music (group theory, geometry, topology etc), and plan to read more about this when I'm able. It would be a dream come true if I could somehow work self-employed doing this one day. I can't imagine working full time in an office again. It exhausts me too much to be able to do anything in my free time. I don't know how demanding it would be to work remotely full-time. I'm lucky I can live with family and work part-time for the forseeable future. There is no rush. I am 24.
Any advice on building a career your interested in, moving to a new city, managing stress and having healthy relationships would be very welcome. Or anything else you think it would be useful to hear.

TLDR: looking for advice for 'deep recovery' from autistic burnout, venting/rambling a bit about my situation
Sorry for the long post, my life hasn't been great the last few years and I'm hoping that if I describe it in detail then someone might have some advice for where to go next, or be able to tell me if I'm missing something obvious. I've bolded the bits where I'm asking for advice.
I (24F) am not officially diagnosed with aspergers or anything autism related, but am recovering from what I suspect is autistic burnout. I had symptoms of moderate to severe CFS last summeautumn but am slowly recovering from it without any major crashes. When I read the description of autistic burnout I identified with it completely. The loss of skills and extremely reduced tolerance to stimulus on top of the fatigue is something I have really struggled to describe or explain to people (not helped by the loss of skills i.e. barely being able to put a sentence together to speak to someone). I've read Strong Female Character and Aspergirls, and am currently reading Unmasking Autism. I haven't completely self-diagnosed yet, but I am researching it and think it's a strong possibility. The first half of Aspergirls describes my childhood pretty well. I was often called a 'Highly Sensitive Person' and Unmasking Autism states that the creator of this term has said that the people she was talking about have since been diagnosed with ASD. Even if I am not Autistic, I often find Autistic people more relatable and easier to understand that non-Autistic people and find their advice for rest, sensory issues etc helpful to me. I am not looking for a diagnosis or diagnostic advice.
I currently feel like I'm starting my life over again, and I'd really appreciate advice on how to build a sustainable life when I have a lower tolerance for stimulus and find communicating more tiring than many people.
Context/life story: I'm from the UK. I have a degree in maths, was feeling burnt out and was going to take a gap year before doing a masters, but the pandemic happened and I moved back into my childhood bedroom. I couldn't face being stuck there again with no 'escape plan' so one afternoon I (impusively) signed up for a masters at a not so great uni and didn't do well academically. At the time I was considering a PhD and going into pure maths research. I don't have the grades to get funding for this. By the end of the masters my boyfriend had broken up with me and I'd lost touch with all my friends. The only person I 'spoke' to was my mother and even she'd say this was pretty one sided. In my dissertation presentation on zoom, I read a pre-written script and answered 'I don't know' to all the questions because I hadn't spoken to anyone in months and couldn't hold a conversation with the cashier in the supermarket about the weather let alone one with an academic about advanced maths. I scraped a pass.
After this was over (October 2021), I really felt like I needed a break. I decided I was going to have 2022 'off'. I was going to rest, get a job that didn't use my brain, move to a city so I wasn't so isolated (I live in Wales) and recover and rebuild before figuring out what I wanted to do next. I couldn't figure out how to move to a city without getting a professional job. I asked some family for advice but they didn't know either. I didn't know how to get any job near the town where I live. It's very cliquey, I don't know anyone who's got a job through a formal application process, it's always through a family or friend connection, and I'd lost touch with everyone by this point, my mother doesn't have any contacts and the rest of my family lives in another country. I get filtered out of formal applications because I'm overqualified and bad at lying. Spring 2022 I got sick of it and applied for about 5 software dev jobs. I got one basically without being interviewed. In hindsight that was the first red flag.
I moved to a city 5 hours away. I won't go into the details of the job but it wasn't great. I discovered they had a vrey high turnover for a small company. The new hires previous to me had lasted weeks, one only lasted days, before going on stress leave. I did 10 months. I signed a rental agreement for a year and was too exhausted to search for another job to pay for it. It was full time in the office because I was a junior. I had one friend who lived 3 hours away and every time we met up it was me driving to them, and my sibling needed a lot of help with uni and job stuff so I drove the 5 hours back home most other weekends. I did too much, but I didn't know how to not do too much. Within a few months of each other, my dog died, my grandad died and it was the 10 year anniversary of my dads death. I never had a bad performance review and I quit due to 'personal reasons'. The final straw for me was when I noticed in the office I was physically shaking from exhaustion when I reached for my mouse or keyboard. I think I must have been running on adrenaline or something because it was 2 months before I properly crashed. In this time I moved my stuff back to my childhood bedroom, and that is where I am now. July last year was when I crashed and thought I had CFS etc.
I would say I'm mostly recovered from the physical fatigue. I walk 10k+ steps a day and this helps me mentally. I know I should do more restorative yoga, I see this more like stretchy meditation than exercise and it also helps mentally. I used to enjoy powerlifting and I've tried a few times recently but I think I need to take that super slowly because I get carried away and it wipes me out for a few days after. Skills-wise, I am able to read books again, albeit books I've read before or childrens books. I sometimes have 'high energy' days when I'll read more non-fiction and try to plan my recovery. I am not up for doing technical computer stuff. Things I used to know still go completely over my head. Sensory-wise, I struggle having the big light on for more than 10-15 minutes at a time. I try to reduce screen time. I barely watch tv. I've deleted most social media so I only check instagram once or twice a week on my laptop, and I go on reddit or youtube if I'm looking for something in particular. I try not to listen to too much music otherwise the brain fog gets worse, but that's hard becuase it's one of the few things I feel connects me with the outside world at the moment. When family come round and there are group conversations, I cannot follow anything that's going on and it may as well be white noise. I haven't been in a public space for a while, so I don't know how I am with the background noise. I've reconnected with school friends and am going out for dinner soon, so I'll find out then. I will also find out how I hold up in conversation.
In the next few weeks I plan on looking for part time work. Any advice on suitable jobs would be welcome. I also start a compassion focused therapy group next week, after going to the doctors about this in october of last year *sigh*. I plan on working part time and living at home while figuring out what I want from a career and how to build a life. I wish I could just move to London but it's so expensive.
I see pure maths as closer to the arts than the sciences, and also enjoy fiction books (esp fantasy) and music. I played classical piano and violin/viola as a child to a reasonably high standard. I have no interest in computers really, it was just a job thats related to my degree and that I was good at. As a child I wanted to be a writer or a musician, but as a teen I prioritised moving out of my hometown and told myself that was something I didn't need to study and could work on in my free time. I had a 'maths brain' so it was easy enough to coast this path while I was grieving. I have learnt that the first things I let slide when I am stressed or busy, are the things I am interested in. Then it's chores, then my physical health. I have no idea when to stop or when to say no people.

2024.05.16 21:25 thebradman70 Lost In Translation
Probably somebody who is fluent in Japanese and English would be better to analyze this movie but I will try anyway.
The movie is about poor communication and disconnection. Originally I thought it was just describing culture shock and the overload of being in a foreign country. But there are numerous examples of “lost in translation” as a metaphor. Watching Bill Murray view an old SNL skit in Japanese is a bit surreal. When his character is trying to finish a commercial shoot the translator gives him short instructions to a lengthy response from the director. When some fans recognize him drinking at a bar Bill Murray just smiles and walks away.
Both main characters are in unhappy and disconnected relationships. Giovanni Ribosi plays a busy photographer who gives little attention to Scarlett Johansen. Later Scarlett goes to a Buddhist temple and watches a ceremony. When trying to describe her lack of feeling about it to her mother back in the states she becomes tearful and this ends the call abruptly.
There is not a lot of dialogue overall in the movie. But one person who does talk incessantly is Giovanni Ribisi’s ex played by Ana Faris. Her character is quite vapid and annoying. This is to contrast the main characters who are insular and contemplative.
What does Bill Murray say at the end of the movie? Well I can’t read lips. But we are supposed to fill in the blanks since the movie is at its core about difficulty communicating, especially in relationships.

2024.05.16 21:20 Nervousaly My "best" friend tried to convince my girlfriend that she shouldn't be with me
So to give a little context everyone involved is female including myself. Last summer I was an addict, and I went to rehab and got clean. It was a little messy but I pulled through. After rehab I started talking to one of my friends (I'll call her kelsey) on a more personal level. We had always been friends and I would see her at gatherings and stuff and we'd always ALWAYS talk when we see eachother.
I had met her a year prior but but we didn't really communicate on a personal level because I was too into drugs and drinking I knew holding meaning connections wasn't going to happen at the time. Well when I finally got sober me and her were talking, she asked me out on a date and from there it just blossomed. 8 months later I'm still effortlessly in love with her and I worship the ground she walks on.
My "best" friend at the time, I'll call her Sara. There was a point and time when Kelsey tried to take Sara out on a date (multiple times mind you) but Sara showed no genuine interest and kept making excuses so kelsey moved on understandably so.
However, when me and kelsey started talking, that's when Sara started showing interest in kelsey for some reason, and I still to this day don't understand why.. when her best friend being me, was already talking to kelsey that's when tried to step in and tell her I'm not good for her and told her good luck getting me sober (I wasn't perfect but I'm 100 percent sober now and don't even think about it) but regardless as Sara's close friend I just felt like that was a huge blow. Sara had a business trip and invited kelsey and she agreed to go, me and kelsey weren't dating yet at the time, but already hooked on eachother. Through the whole trip sara tried convincing kelsey I'm no good and that I'm just drug addict after being there for me, genuinely I thought Sara cared about me and showed it up until I started getting involved with kelsey and 8 months later kelsey doesn't talk to sara or even like her st the moment because of all that. I still talk to Sara because I was just trying to move on but honestly the fact she has not taken any responsibility for her actions or owning up to anything weighs on me heavy. We have the same group of friends, and I still see her but there's a lot of tension, and the fact that she avoided responsibility till everyone let it go...
I want to try to confront her about it again otherwise I'm going to have to cut her off but the thing is she has BPD and I don't know if that has a role in it but I want to confront her tonight I just am trying to figure out how to. Any comments or advice is welcome.

2024.05.16 21:17 Friedchickenpotaters Need Advice plus rant!
🙃thanks in advance. I know I’m dramatic. I just over think a lot.
So I (23f) hit it off with his guy (27m) on hinge and he was super sweet a few weeks ago and we ended up going on two dates the same weekend and planning another for the next Friday. We talked every day and it slowly dwindled but when I asked if we were still good to go out he said yes and kept up the conversation again. So I didn’t think anything of it. He even called a few nights just to see how my day had been. So we went out for the third time and made a date for the next weekend/ this weekend. All of a sudden he’s just texting once a day. So I asked him if he’s good on Sunday still and he said it works. But he’s just texting me once a day and one word answers, not taking interest in what I’ve been up to or how I am. I would wake up every morning to good morning texts and then he just quit today and he’s been responding every 6-8 hours for the past 3 days now. It PISSES ME OFF when men can’t be men and say they are uninterested or lost interest. Instead of the slow pull away, grow a pair and communicate! So now i don’t know wether to just not even going to attempt to talk to him anymore or just straight up ask what happened. But I don’t wanna look desperate or needy. I feel like I got the hint but what if it’s a misunderstanding or he is actually busy? But I would really at least like to know. Especially since we confirmed plans right before he started this. Should I wait and see if he reaches out before Sunday or just let it go and push through being hurt lol. Literally all our dates were like 6 hours and I had a great time. All of a sudden he’s just not giving me any reason that he’s distant, just is. I prefer communication so even if he’s busy I need a man that can communicate that! I’m just so confused. It’s also my first time using a dating app so not sure how these usually go.

2024.05.16 21:13 steviejohanna Looking for software recommendations for transactional and operational emails?
We currently have 2 instances of Marketo. One for service communications to our existing clients, and one for marketing communications, which is linked to salesforce. The service instance is standalone and is not linked to anything through api connection. We do all manual list loads for each send. We do not need all the bells and whistles that Marketo has for our service communications, as they are all batch sends and very basic. We do send a lot of urgent communications, and a lot that we are legally obligated to send. We would need basic reporting metrics, and we would need to be able to produce a sample email for proofing, and not delivered reports. Other than that, we are just trying to free up some money in our teams budget for other things. We are currently evaluating Drupal as an option, but it is falling short on some features we need to have.

2024.05.16 21:12 abtasty Optimizing Revenue Beyond Conversion Rate
 | When it comes to CRO, or Conversion Rate Optimization, it would be natural to assume that conversion is all that matters. At least, we can argue that conversion rate is at the heart of most experiments. However, the ultimate goal is to raise revenue, so why does the CRO world put so much emphasis on conversion rates? submitted by abtasty to u/abtasty [link] [comments] In this article, we’ll shed some light on the reason why conversion rate is important and why it’s not just conversions that should be considered. Why is conversion rate so important?Let’s start off with the three technical reasons why CRO places such importance on conversion rates:
Beyond conversion rateBefore we delve into a more complex analysis, we’ll take a look at some simpler metrics. This includes ones that are not directly linked to transactions such as “add to cart” or “viewed at least one product page”.If it’s statistically assured to win, then it’s a good choice to put the variation into production, with one exception. If the variation is very costly, then you will need to dig deeper to ensure that the gains will cover the costs. This can occur, for example, if the variation holds a product recommender system that comes with its cost. The bounce rate is also simple and straightforward in that the aim is to keep the figure down unlike the conversion rate. In this case, the only thing to be aware of is that you want to lower the bounce rate unlike the conversion rate. But the main idea is the same: if you change your homepage image and you see the bounce rate statistically drop, then it’s a good idea to put it in production. We will now move onto a more complex metric, the transaction rate, which is directly linked to the revenue. Let’s start with a scenario where the transaction rate goes up. You assume that you will get more transactions with the same traffic, so the only way it could be a bad thing is that you earn less in the end. This means your average cart value (AOV) has plummeted. The basic revenue formula shows it explicitly: Total revenue = traffic \ transaction rate * AOV* Since we consider traffic as an external factor, then the only way to have a higher total revenue is to have an increase in both transaction rate and AOV or have at least one of them increase while the other remains stable. This means we also need to check the AOV evolution, which is much more complicated. On the surface, it looks simple: take the sum of all transactions and divide that by the number of transactions and you have the AOV. While the formula seems basic, the data isn’t. In this case, it’s not just either success or failure; it’s different values that can widely vary. Below is a histogram of transaction values from a retail ecommerce website. The horizontal axis represents values (in €), the vertical axis is the proportion of transactions with this value. Here we can see that most values are spread between 0 and €200, with a peak at ~€50.

Now let’s try to see how the difference within this kind of data is hard to spot. See the same graph below but with higher values, from €400 to €1000. You will also notice another histogram (in orange) of the same values but offset by €10. https://preview.redd.it/cqgmh1628u0d1.png?width=387&format=png&auto=webp&s=0ca2cfc150dd989a868adcbc04ed435c6b330828 We see that the €10 offset which corresponds to a 10-unit shift to the right is hard to distinguish. And since it corresponds to the highest values this part has a huge influence when averaging samples. Due to the shape of this transaction value distribution, any measure of the average value is somewhat blurred, which makes it very difficult to have clear statistical indices. For this reason, changes in AOV need to be very drastic or measured over a huge dataset to be statistically asserted, making it difficult to use in CRO. Another important feature is hidden even further on the right of the horizontal axis. Here’s another zoom on the same graph, with the horizontal axis ranging from €1000 to €4500. This time only one curve is shown. https://preview.redd.it/egu5mtr38u0d1.png?width=404&format=png&auto=webp&s=f539ff85b05d5f93e07ac74b8577907747618b97 From the previous graph, we could have easily assumed that €1000 was the end, but it’s not. Even with a most common transaction value at €50, there are still some transactions above €1000, and even some over €3000. We call these extreme values. As a result, whether these high values exist or not makes a big difference. Since these values exist but with some scarcity, they will not be evenly spread across a variation, which can artificially create difference when computing AOV. By artificially, we mean the difference comes from a small number of visitors and so doesn’t really count as “statistically significant”. Also, keep in mind that customer behavior will not be the same when buying for €50 as when making a purchase of more than €3000. There’s not much to do about this except know it exists. One good thing though is to separate B2B and B2C visitors if you can, since B2C transaction values are statistically bigger and less frequent. Setting them apart will limit these problems. What does this mean for AOV?There are three important things to keep in mind when it comes to AOV:
This is yet another reason to have a clear experimentation protocol including an explicit hypothesis. For example, if the test is about showing an alternate product page layout based on the hypothesis that visitors have trouble reading the product page, then the AOV should not be impacted. Afterwards, if the conversion rate rises, we can validate the winner if the AOV has no strong statistical downward trend. However, if the changes are in the product recommender system, which might have an impact on the AOV, then one should be more strict on measuring a statistical innocuity on the AOV before calling a winner. For example, the recommender might bias visitors toward cheaper products, boosting sales numbers but not the overall revenue. The real driving force behind CROWe’ve seen that the conversion rate is at the base of CRO practice because of its simplicity and versatility compared to all other KPIs. Nonetheless, this simplicity must not be taken for granted. It sometimes hides more complexity that needs to be understood in order to make profitable business decisions, which is why it’s a good idea to have expert resources during your CRO journey.That’s why at AB Tasty, our philosophy is not only about providing top-notch software but also Customer Success accompaniment. |
2024.05.16 21:11 ThrowRApandahelp My GF (F23) and I (M23) are on the verge of breaking up after nearly 2 years. Thoughts on our relationship and advice for our next date please?
Hello, this is my first time posting on here so forgive me if anything seems off.
Like the title says, my GF (F23) and I (M23) are on the verge of breaking up. We have plans to go an art museum in a couple of days but she has told me she has "low expectations" for the date because she is still mad at me.
We are both college students, she is a very smart mechanical engineer who has been super stressed out regarding school and is still stressed out with her work for the summer. Also, she has an eating disorder that affects her physical health. I am a D1 student athlete who is trying to go to dental school, so I have been stressed out about collegiate athletics and applying for dental school.
We have both had a difficult school yeasemester and as a result, we have not been spending as much time together.
When she gets stressed out, she will self isolate and not want to share her feelings with anyone. When I get confronted with conflict, I will back away and give space. She has told me a few times within the past month that she wants me to ask about heshow her attention when she self isolates and is stressed out. I have told her that I want her to communicate more about her feelings so that I can understand her more.
Last night, we had a phone call and she told me that she "can't do this anymore" and that she has been heavily thinking of breaking up with me due to me "not being there" for her when she has been struggling this semester. Also, she feels that our relationship is not fun anymore. In my defense, it is hard to be there for her when she self isolates, does not share her feelings, and when I ask to go on dates she mostly declines due to me "not respecting" her time as she is a very busy engineer. Also, when we have been on dates, she isn't as fun as she used to be and it is hard to be joyous when she has not reciprocated that energy back,
This phone call wrecked me and I got 2 hours of sleep last night and I was in an unstable headspace due to the possibility of breaking up. And she got drunk and took down our posts together on her instagram.
The next day, we talked and I reemphasized to her that I want her to be my wife one day and that with the school year being over, I want to give us a fresh start and begin to close this rough chapter of our relationship together.
We decided to go to an art museum together in a couple of days and I am nervous/feeling the pressure to make the date a success and have fun because it will probably be the last time we see each other before she goes across the country for an engineering internship for the summer. I am feeling like this date will make or break the relationship.
I truly do understand her concerns about the relationship and I will admit that I could have been better looking back. But I also feel that she could improve in the relationship as well. And yes, I have really tried to emphasize that we communicate more. Obviously, I am committed to trying to improve my communication, but only time will tell with her.
Thoughts on our relationship? Tips for this "make or break" date in a couple of days?
TLDR: GF and I are on verge of breaking up and we are having a date that is critical for the survival of the relationship.

2024.05.16 20:56 Glum-Fish9615 how do i chill?
for context i (25F) am a queer woman. i also have both ADHD/anxiety so i overthink a lot.
i haven't dated anyone since high school and after a lot of work on myself have finally felt comfortable enough to start putting myself out there.
i had a "thing" with someone earlier this year that didn't work out bc of seemingly "love bombing". to be honest, i didn't know what that meant but due to my ADHD my genuine interest can sometimes portray itself like that.
i am always a cautious person going into things bc i do like to take my time learning and getting to know someone but overthinking often gets the best of me. and since that was said to me, ive become even more cautious.
ive now been getting to know another girl, who is a self proclaimed bad texter which is fine. i dont want nor expect constant communication from anyone. and i have expressed possible romantic interest, if she would like to pursue it as well.
where my question is, with my ADHD i want to take things slow while flirting and trying to show more of myself without doing too much. but also, she is busy this week and next due to a trip- and has been leaving me on read quite a bit lately. is this normal? i truly have no idea and again i dont expect anything if she doesn't want it but how do i tell if she's interested or if this is a way of saying no thanks?
PS: i only want advice from fellow queer and/or ADHD folks.

2024.05.16 20:49 Then_Marionberry_259 MAY 16, 2024 MUX.TO MCEWEN COPPER ANNOUNCES COMPLETION OF THE FEASIBILITY DRILLING PROGRAM
 | https://preview.redd.it/vnle0sv14u0d1.png?width=3500&format=png&auto=webp&s=967465ba8c20bf8f99bb6510c4916430d0f043bb submitted by Then_Marionberry_259 to Treaty_Creek [link] [comments] 70,000 meters completed, highlights include: 349.0 m of 0.77% Cu , including 232.0 m of 0.86% Cu (AZ23292) 382.5 m of 0.54% Cu , including 74.0 m of 0.86% Cu (AZ23277) TORONTO, May 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- McEwen Copper Inc McEwen Mining Inc. (NYSE: MUX) (TSX: MUX), is pleased to provide the assay results from the currently completed drill season at the Los Azules project in Argentina. The prime objectives of this season’s infill drilling campaign were: 1. to confirm the size and grade of the deposit as compared to the 2023 PEA estimate and upgrade the resource categories for the upcoming feasibility study; 2. test for extensions of mineralization beyond the current pit shell; and 3. explore our large property package for other mineralized areas. Based on the assay results received to date, our first objective appears to have been met. Initial interpretation suggests that our infill drilling will result in an increase in Measured and Indicated resources and an overall mineral inventory within 5% of the PEA estimate. Testing for extensions beyond the planned pit has successfully encountered mineralization both to the north and to the south. Primary mineralization was intercepted (202.0 m of 0.20% Cu) over 400 meters north of last year’s deep exploration hole, confirming its extension at depth a significant distance to the north. Exploration south of the planned pit has intercepted the principal mineralized intrusive more than 700 meters south of previous drill intercepts and indicates that prospective intrusives continue well to the south of the pit. Exploration over our property has produced an intriguing target, late in the season. Initial results of a concession-wide regional mapping and sampling campaign have identified strong evidence of a large porphyry system 3 kilometers east of the Los Azules deposit. Porphyry-style veining and quartz vein stockworks with copper oxide mineralization have been recognized within this new target, with assay results pending. Additionally, this news release covers all results from the first half of the 2023-24 drill program (see Table 1 ). Final results will be published when all the geochemistry is completed. The objective of the 2023-2024 drilling campaign is to collect all the necessary information to support the completion of the Los Azules Feasibility Study by early 2025. This information continues to arrive and will be processed in the following months. Resource drilling is focused on converting all the mineralization to be mined in the first 5 years to Measured and Indicated resource, to increase confidence during the payback period. Geotechnical, metallurgical, hydrogeological, exploration, and condemnation drilling are also being performed. Highlights
Results are summarized in two schematic cross sections ( Figures 2 and 3 ), which include simplified interpretations of the Overburden, Leached, Enriched and Primary zones. The Enriched mineral zone refers to the enrichment of a copper deposit by precipitation-derived water circulation that carries copper minerals downward through the rocks to accumulate in a thick, often horizontal “blanket”. Immediately above the Enriched zone is the Leached zone, from which copper was removed and transported. Weathering and oxidation often aid in this process. Below the Enriched zone, the Primary (or Hypogene) zone is formed by ascending copper-rich fluids having a much deeper magmatic origin. The green line on the sections indicates the pit floor of the 30-year pit shell from the 2023 NI 43-101 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA). Figure 1 presents a plan view of the location of two sections and the holes reported. Adjacent cross sections are located 50 m apart from each other, starting with the lowest numbered section at the south end of the deposit and progressing to the north. Figure 1 – Plan View Location of Cross-sections and Drill Holes Reported in this News Release https://preview.redd.it/glnua8024u0d1.png?width=1074&format=png&auto=webp&s=ecf02e88cbf88d96851e83aa000b1f1aaa1837bc Figure 2 displays an intercept of 349 m grading 0.77% Cu (AZ23292) and includes 232 m grading 0.86% Cu within the Enriched zone. This hole extends higher-grade Enriched zone mineralization in the center of the section to the east and at depth.

This hole extends higher-grade mineralization in the eastern portion of the Enriched zone to the east and at depth.

This hole is located completely outside of the 2023 PEA base case mineable pit shell. This hole is over 400 meters to the north of exploration hole AZ22174, also located outside of the 2023 PEA base case mineable pit shell, which encountered 1,052.0 m of 0.29% Cu including 480 m of 0.42% Cu ( Figure 4 ). These intercepts suggest that primary mineralization continues at depth a significant distance to the north. Exploration drilling south of the deposit has extended the presence of the early mineral porphyry more than 700 meters south of previous drilling and well outside of the southern pit boundary. This porphyry is host for the majority of the mineralization at Los Azules and encountering it a significant distance farther south indicates that the deposit may also continue in this direction. Assays for these holes are pending. A comprehensive structural model for the deposit has been completed that will provide a better understanding of structural controls on the deposit and aid in future exploration work. Field verification of a previous property-wide structural study using satellite information was carried out in January and has refined the identification of nearby exploration targets.

To address this limitation, a mapping and sampling campaign was begun in December, to obtain 100% coverage of our concession. Early results of this work have identified a large new porphyry system 3 kilometers east of Los Azules. Preliminary work has identified porphyry-style veining and alteration, indicating the presence of a porphyry copper system. Areas with strong quartz vein stockworking and the recognition of copper oxides at surface add to the prospectiveness of this newly identified area ( Figure 5 ). Figure 5 – Quartz Stockwork Veining and Copper Oxides Identified at Surface in Porphyry Copper System 3 Kilometers East of Los Azules https://preview.redd.it/mfxcifr24u0d1.png?width=1348&format=png&auto=webp&s=2eba55bb8c1356d0af8ad8560d1842fd71491e02 Table 1 summarizes copper (Cu), gold (Au) and silver (Ag) assay results received from October 2023 to December 31, 2023. Table 1 – Recent Los Azules Drilling Results https://preview.redd.it/cca42sx24u0d1.png?width=720&format=png&auto=webp&s=fe869e7884ef7d71accad9512be3039449221e4a Technical information The technical content of this press release has been reviewed and approved by Darren King, Director of Exploration of McEwen Copper, who serves as the qualified person (QP) under the definitions of National Instrument 43-101. All samples were collected in accordance with generally accepted industry standards. Drill core samples, usually taken at 2 m intervals, were split and submitted to the Alex Stewart International laboratory located in the Province of Mendoza, Argentina, for the following assays: gold determination using fire fusion assay and an atomic absorption spectroscopy finish (Au4-30); a 39 multi-element suite using ICP-OES analysis (ICP-AR 39); copper content determination using a sequential copper analysis (Cu-Sequential LMC-140). An additional 19-element analysis (ICP-ORE) was performed for samples with high sulphide content and that exceeded the limits of the ICP-OES analysis. The company conducts a Quality Assurance/Quality Control program in accordance with NI 43-101 and industry best practices using a combination of standards and blanks on approximately one out of every 25 samples. Results are monitored as final certificates are received, and any re-assay requests are sent back immediately. Pulp and preparation sample analyses are also performed as part of the QAQC process. Approximately 5% of the sample pulps are sent to a secondary laboratory for control purposes. In addition, the laboratory performs its own internal QAQC checks, with results made available on certificates for Company review.

2024.05.16 20:48 geo2298 How do I ask the question?
First time posting on Reddit ever, bear with me. To preface, I (25M) have never been in a relationship but have been getting with guys since I was 19. Came out of the closet at 22, and started actually going on dates with guys at 23.
After many failed situationships, I've come across a man (27M) who I've been seeing consistently for a month and a half now. We've gone over to each other's places, I've met and hung out with some of his friends (on accident, we ran into them at a bar), and I've even stayed the night with him at his place. When we first started talking, I noticed that he would put in effort and text first and all that good stuff.
When we first started getting to know each other, he said he enjoyed my "communication style" and wanted to go on more dates. He's a very busy guy with a lot of weekend trips to weddings and such, and hates doing things during the weekdays. We've seen each other minimum once a week on weekdays, and he even put his job at risk once to not bail on plans we had already made. He's expressed that he feels very comfortable around me, and we've had a great time whenever we're together, cracking jokes, learning about one another, etc... When asked, he told me that he's looking for a monogamous relationship, which I am as well.
Lately, I've noticed that his energy has shifted. I find myself sending him memes on Instagram that just get left on read, and just reactions to my texts, barely any responses. He's expressed that he's very lazy and that social media/texting is a lot for him, so I try not to take it personally. I've see him online on Grindr very often, but he seems to be on for like 2-3 minutes at a time, which makes me believe he's just checking notifications, but my insecurities with dating are taking my head to a dark place and making me believe that he's sleeping with other guys while we talk.
I've also noticed that he takes antidepressants and stimulants (like myself), and have taken note of his shifting energy. His place is a hazard zone of a mess, and I've even offered to help clean it up (without telling him his place is messy), and to even build some of his furniture (which I actually enjoy doing, it's like adult LEGOs.) I'm under the impression that he's going through a depressive episode and is struggling to get by, which I can really empathize with, and I've told him that I've been there before and am there to even just listen.
I've tried having conversations about where we see this "situation" going, and often left more confused with his answers. He usually brushes off the question and says something along the lines of "I mean, we've seen each other a lot, you tell me..." He has a very avoidant conflict style and has even expressed that to me, so I try not to take his avoidance of the question personally, but the uncertainty is taking a huge toll on me mentally.
Now, when we hang out, all he wants to do is cuddle and do nothing, which I don't mind. I'd like to think he likes me because his love language is physical touch, and we don't spend a moment where we're not at least holding hands. I really like him, I haven't felt this way about a man in a long time. He gets me in a way that many people don't, and has brought out a good side of me I didn't know existed. Whenever I see him on Grindr, my heart sinks to my stomach, and am just confused on how to have a conversation with him in regards to where he actually sees this relationship going, what we're doing, and if he wants to be exclusive so we can both get off the apps. I'm usually not this insecure, but since this is the farthest I've been able to get with a guy romantically, I don't want to mess up what myself and a lot of my friends think is a great guy.

Ciao🍋 I'm Elle - 25+, F, 10+ years experience, staunch purple prose hater.
WHAT I WANT TO WRITE:
If you don’t know what this is PLEASE GIVE ME A MINUTE OF YOUR TIME
Character A is a valet for a wealthy man. The wealthy man basically saved him from certain poverty by employing him (You have potential, he had said) so Character A feels a twisted sense of loyalty towards him.
Character B is someone who is being blackmailed by the wealthy man. Character B met the wealthy man when they were put in adjacent cells in jail: he promised to bail her out if she did him a small favour. Character B never expected him to follow through, but Character A shows up to bail her out and with instructions from the wealthy man.
The wealthy man wants her to break off the engagement of his wealthy actress aunt/mother. He doesn’t explain why but it’s because her future husband will probably cut him off significantly.
Character B agrees, under the condition that her younger sister can travel with her.
The wealthy man happily agrees - “I’ll pay for everything”, he says.
It doesn’t take long for Character B to realise she made a deal with the devil, and worse: that having her sister with her gave the wealthy man even more leverage to manipulate her.
Character A and Character B and end up spending a lot of time for logistical reasons… and things get intense and complex very fast.
In the original plot, this all happened in the Titanic lol, and I do like the idea of that for many many many reasons. HOWEVER, it’s our story and we can do whatever we want, so we could say it was a whole cruise and they made several stops? Maybe the aunt was on a tour or something and was supposed to get married at the end of the tour?
—------------------
If you know the game, I’d also be curious to explore a CHARLIE x ADELE dynamic, but post-Titanic. Charlie is a steward who befriends Adele, helps her navigate her situation and the two become very close. Adele saved Charlie from certain death against his wishes. Post-Titanic, I’m interested in exploring how he's trying not to hold things against her but is struggling tremendously with guilt, ptsd, and his idealism. I'm more inclined to play Charlie in this one, but I can easily play Adele too.

WHAT I EXPECT FROM YOU
- You're 18+. absolutely no minors, please.
- You're willing to jump straight into things - it's the best way to know if we'll be compatible and want the same plots.
- You'll always share your ideas (even if you're hesitant or self-conscious - I'm too, and I always make sure to put in the effort so I fully expect the same from my writing partners).
- You don't hate writing male characters - I greatly enjoy writing both men and women and I can very clearly tell when someone wants to double up. I WILL soft-block immediately.
- You know when to rapid-fire and when to write long descriptive threads and don't care about word counts.
- You'll let me know if you want to drop things. I don't require constant communication, but I value my time - please don't waste it.
- If you reach out to me, please just dive right in and introduce yourself and let me know which ships you're interested in.
- I'm a long-term writer. I've been writing some ships for 10 years. So yea, I'm not going anywhere.
- I care. I truly do care about your characters and our ships. I’m not a nonchalant person.
- Replies at best every two days, at worst once a week. If I'm busy, might take longer.
- I don't have triggers so I'm willing to write a lot of things. Respect and communication are key though - also, absolutely no bigotry.
- Idc about following canon too closely.
- I love exploring characters in a very realistic way but I WILL conjugate that realism with more gringy elements.
