2024.05.15 08:11 Zanijin_ 2.3 Spoilers - Just another copium theory about 2.3
In light of all the doomposting and wariness about the future of Firefly in the story after the events of 2.0-2.2, I wanted to compile some known information to piece together a theory on why she is likely joining the express in 2.3, and hopefully sparking a positive conversation about it. Some things I will be referencing will be spoilers for 2.3 so if you'd like to remain completely spoiler free, I suggest avoiding this post. You have been warned.
So, before I begin with the 2.3 leaks, I'd first like to take a step back and look at the character as a whole. Firefly, in the short time she has been in the story has become immensely popular within the community, but beyond that she has also had quite an effect on the MC. Regardless of whatever ships you do and don't subscribe to and even the choices you make in game, it's undeniable that the MC has feelings/an attachment for our girl and that these are reciprocated by Firefly (Again, you are free to believe if these are romantic feelings or not, though I believe it leans toward the former). The MC choosing to trust in Firefly despite her initial secrecy in 2.0, Firefly willing to risk exposing herself as Sam (A known Stellaron Hunter and wanted criminal) to protect herself and the MC (This might be an over analysis on my part, but her clenching her fists while being held by "S-U-D" and showing hesitation rather than fear leads me to believe this is the case) during their initial encounter with "Something Unto Death", her identity as Sam being a well kept secret and one she is not eager to reveal to just anyone, her "death" by "Something Unto Death" bringing the MC to tears and causing them to become noticeably crestfallen, even to the point of getting snippy with Acheron. In the finale of 2.1 and beginning of 2.2, past the initial shock of Sam, they are understanding of Firefly's secrecy and even trust her when she mentions her "death" leading to her discovery of Dreamflux Reef and the secrets of the dream. In this same scene they even describe the MCs inner thoughts with the scene stating "Innumerable voices resonated through the symphony of the memoria, roaring like thunder, and among them, one echo stood out with exceptional clarity, you knew it came from the girl beside you, your hearts beating to the same rhythm, peaceful, and even more peaceful.". Of course there were also the two “dates” between the MC and Firefly. To a character with ELS, every moment spent out of her medical cabin is precious, and she chooses to spend those moments with the MC as Firefly, rather than Sam, a choice that can be seen as unnecessary past her initial purpose on Penacony with Elio's script, and during the second "date", despite the urgency of the situation and Firefly herself reminding the MC of their timer, she still goofs off with them during the different trials. Capping this off is her "unwavering dedication", which is what allowed Acheron and the others to find the MC after Ena's dream.
Now, I didn't write this massive text wall just to promote the MC x Firefly ship, instead I want to draw your attention specifically to the bond they've developed. Despite the short amount of time spent together, it's quite obvious that Mihoyo went out of their way to emphasize this connection. I know many people were disappointed with the scenes between the two in 2.2, specifically in regards to them MC not showing the desired reaction at the reveal of Firefly not only being alive, but also her identity as Sam. Though I too expected something more, I believe this was intentional on Hoyo's part as they are most likely saving the heart to heart for the one on one scene in 2.3. Having said all of this, I want you to ask yourself, what was the point of all of this? The other Stellaron Hunters have gotten nowhere near this amount of screentime or specifically developed such a strong bond with the MC, in fact, not even other characters like March, Dan Heng, Himeko or Welt are this close to the MC. Why write in a fake out death at all if this character wasn't important? Purely for shock factor? Why bother making her consistently close to the MC? (Most characters get a single patch to really interact with the MC, upon the release of 2.3, that would mark her third patch being relevant to the plot and interacting with the MC. This is a recurring thing across multiple Hoyoverse titles, think of Ayaka from Genshin as a prime example, a character which has largely fallen to the wayside and being relegated as a side character after her single patch).
The people at Mihoyo aren't amateur storytellers like some think they are, and I believe everything they've done is to make this connection seem all the more important for one reason. Firefly is going to join the express, her bond with the Trailblazer serving as the catalyst. She's said herself that she respects the Trailblaze and has even found herself resonating with their ideals. The events of 2.2 serve as evidence of this, with her being able to see Clockie (Though not much is known about him, it seems that as a Trailblaze entity, he is only able to be seen by those with a connection to the Trailblaze), and standing side by side with the Astral Express in their battle of beliefs against Sunday. Though I believe the trailblaze aspect plays a large choice, I'd also like to take a look at her script from Elio, which I believe to be a major piece of the puzzle. The script states she will experience three deaths on Penacony. Some people may argue that she has already experienced those three with the second being when she traveled with the MC to Dreamflux Reef and the third being related to what Acheron mentions at the end of 2.2. I don't believe traveling to Dreamflux Reef counts towards that death tally as it would actually make it four deaths, seeing as when she was first killed she awoke in her medical cabin, then later traveled to Dreamflux Reef. Following this, it's reasonable to say she's only experienced two so far, the initial death from being stabbed and from Acheron. I believe this third death is not a literal one. Death has a multitude of meanings beyond just dying/passing away. Using the Tarot as an example, death can also be used to describe a great change. I propose that this great change is the "death" of Stellaron Hunter Sam. Looking at the playable version of Firefly, an obvious change has taken place, that being the green energy that leaks out from within and the manifestation of Firefly's blades which could be seen as Firefly establishing more of herself within the identity of SAM. Beyond the changes to the SAM suit itself, I find it a little odd that they deliberately have Firefly walk around as herself in the overworld, rather than the suit, but I concede that this choice could just be so people can see the waifu that they pulled and might have no real significance. All of this is information that has already been revealed to us, whether directly through the events of the story, or the leaked gameplay of Firefly. Next I would like to discuss leaks that support this idea of Firefly joining the AE crew.
Many people believe that after the events of 2.3, the MC and Firefly will part ways, with Firefly going back to the Stellaron Hunters for a few planets. I don't believe this to be the case for two main reasons, the first being the new event in 2.3 and the second being the new BP icons. The event is said to be one in which we play games with Firefly, March, and Silverwolf, with Silverwolf mentioning that she could never get Firefly to play games with her, but Firefly accepts this time around because she is asked by the MC. Now, don't you find this lineup kind of strange? Specifically the presence of March 7th. If Firefly was departing Penacony after the story of 2.3, why would she show up in an event with the MC and March? It's not as if events in Star Rail aren't canon either, so it doesn't make sense for Firefly to be there if we are assuming that she is leaving during the epilogue of 2.3. I believe this is supported by her new BP icon in which she can be seen wearing a red, black, and gold outfit. These are exactly the colors of the express and other express members have icons which share this same color scheme. Even Sam's icon has red that is normally not present on his design. The description for the icon also states Firefly: Visionary, Firefly stepping forwards into the future "There is only one destiny, but I still have the right to make my choice". Sam's icon follows a similar format being titled Visionary and mentioning stepping forward into the future, with his quote stating "I will fulfill SAM's mission and see a new future". Of course BP icons don't have to mean anything and in most cases are just the characters in a different outfit, but doesn't this seem like a really strange choice? Firefly doesn't have red as part of her color scheme, so putting her in an outfit that is explicitly AE colors seems like a deliberate choice, not to mention the fact that the icon references her stepping forward into the future, or if you want to look at another way, blazing a trail to her new future. In addition to this, the word "Choice" has significance, especially if we have this Astral Express outfit to set the context. A stellaron hunter knows exactly how meaningless their choices are, yet Firefly is the only one who is defiant in regards to the script and her predetermined end. Not just her own end, but even in the missions she is given, she chooses to do things that can be seen as futile like actively choosing to not read certain parts of the script as to remain ignorant and potentially influence said script, even if the predetermined outcome inevitably comes to pass despite her "obstruction". With all of this it seems like a no brainer that she would join the group that is all about making your own choices, helping the people you want to help, and doing the things you want to do, not to mention the resources she would have access to in terms of potentially curing her illness as a member of the Astral Express, a respected group with many powerful allies and connections willing to assist, versus being in a criminal organization where she follows a script that may not have the ending she wants.
I know I just did a whole lot of yapping so I appreciate anyone taking the time to read the theories and speculations of a delusional fan huffing way too much copium. I truly believe there is merit to what I’m saying, but only time will tell if I hit the mark or if I should never come up with a theory again. Having said all that, I’d love to hear from the community what you all think about this, even if it’s in opposition to what I’m saying.

2024.05.15 08:10 SundayJan2017 Fluvoxamine Dosage
 | Fluvoxamine DosageFluvoxamine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) commonly prescribed to treat various mental health conditions, particularly obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and major depressive disorder (MDD). It is also sometimes used to manage anxiety disorders, including social anxiety disorder and panic disorder. The appropriate dosage of fluvoxamine can vary significantly based on the condition being treated, the patient's age, and their individual response to the medication.Key Considerations for Fluvoxamine Dosage Initial Dosage: Adults: For treating OCD, the typical starting dose for adults is 50 mg once daily at bedtime. For depression, the starting dose may range from 50 to 100 mg per day, taken either in a single dose or divided into two doses. Children and Adolescents: For younger patients with OCD, the initial dose usually starts lower, at around 25 mg daily, and is gradually increased to minimize side effects. Maintenance Dosage
Swiss Chems Fluvoxamine, 3000 mg (50 mg / 60 capsules) Maximum Dosage
While fluvoxamine is generally well-tolerated, it can cause side effects, especially when starting the medication or adjusting the dose. Common side effects include nausea, headache, dizziness, insomnia, and dry mouth. More severe side effects, such as serotonin syndrome, can occur, particularly when fluvoxamine is combined with other serotonergic drugs. Therefore, close monitoring by a healthcare provider is essential. Conclusion Determining the correct dosage of fluvoxamine is a nuanced process that should be tailored to each individual's needs and medical condition. Regular consultations with a healthcare provider are crucial to ensure the medication is effective and to adjust the dosage as necessary. Adhering to prescribed guidelines and promptly reporting any side effects can help optimize treatment outcomes and enhance overall well-being. Disclaimer: Not For Human Consumption.

 | https://preview.redd.it/6reu503r7j0d1.png?width=720&format=png&auto=webp&s=76d76be12cdd66f50c408f93a2fa0602f82d6691 submitted by AcquisCompliance to PFAS_Forever_Chemical [link] [comments] Introduction: In the realm of regulatory compliance, staying ahead of the curve is imperative for businesses to avoid penalties and maintain integrity. One substance group that has garnered significant attention from compliance professionals is per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). With regulations tightening globally, companies must adapt swiftly to comply with evolving requirements. In this blog, we'll explore the current obligations, implications, and strategies for navigating PFAS regulations effectively. Understanding PFAS Regulations: PFAS are synthetic chemicals found in various consumer products and industrial applications. Due to their persistence and potential health hazards, regulatory bodies worldwide are considering stringent restrictions on PFAS usage. In the United States, the EPA has proposed new rules under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Section 8(a)(7) to mandate digital reporting on PFAS usage. Similarly, the EU's REACH Regulation has proposed restrictions on the manufacture and market placement of PFAS, signaling a global shift towards tighter regulations. Current Obligations and Implications: Industries utilizing PFAS face mounting compliance obligations, including reporting requirements and potential restrictions on usage. Companies must assess their supply chains, identify PFAS usage, and prepare for alternative substances to mitigate supply chain disruptions. Failure to comply with PFAS regulations can lead to severe penalties, reputational damage, and operational setbacks. As regulations evolve, companies must stay informed and proactively adapt their compliance programs to meet emerging requirements. PFAS in the EU: The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has proposed restrictions on PFAS under the REACH Regulation, further complicating compliance efforts for businesses operating in the EU. With stringent enforcement and penalties under the EU Market Surveillance Regulation, companies must prioritize building robust compliance programs to navigate the regulatory landscape effectively. How Acquis Can Help: Acquis offers comprehensive solutions to streamline compliance efforts and mitigate risks associated with PFAS regulations. By leveraging automated platform technology and expert guidance, Acquis helps businesses navigate the complexities of PFAS regulations, ensuring timely compliance and minimizing the risk of non-compliance penalties. With a dedicated Customer Success team and scalable solutions, Acquis empowers companies to stay ahead of regulatory changes and maintain compliance in a rapidly evolving landscape. Conclusion: Navigating PFAS regulations requires proactive measures, strategic planning, and robust compliance programs. With regulations tightening globally, companies must prioritize compliance efforts to avoid penalties and maintain market access. By partnering with Acquis and leveraging its innovative solutions, businesses can navigate the complexities of PFAS regulations with confidence, ensuring compliance and safeguarding their operations in a changing regulatory landscape. |
2024.05.15 08:08 Yirowi If I'm already doing some grappling, do you think I should crosstrain striking or do more grappling?
tldr: I'm already doing judo 2x a week and want to practice another martial so I can train 5x a week total. In that situation, would you rather train more grappling (In my case it would be adding BJJ), or crosstrain a striking style (kyokushin in my case, but any striking style in general). Please explain your reasoning.
Hello,
I used to do boxing and muay thai as a hobby a few years ago, and had a lot of fun, but I had to stop due to a motorcycle injury. Since then I have recovered, but have not gone back because I started getting concerned about building up brain damage from getting punched in the head.
Lately I have decided to get back into martial arts, for fun and fitness, and I received the opportunity to train judo 2x a week in a very nice gym, competely free, due to the onwer being a personal friend of mine.
Since I have been getting excited I decided that I would like to train 5x a week around the same time in the morning, to keep my schedule regular.
So I have narrowed down my options to doing more Judo, adding BJJ or Kyokushin.
Both bjj and kyokushin are close to my home and cost about the same. I really enjoyed striking when I did boxing/muay thai, and the fact that kyokushin doesn't have head punches means that I can practice safely without worrying as much about brain damage.
However, I kind of like the culture of BJJ. I live in Brazil, born and raised, and so I have met many BJJ players, and found that there is a thriving community. It's fun to be chatting with an aquaintance and find out they also do BJJ and start talking about it. Also, I have found that the practioners tend to be less strict with traditions and such, unlike the kyokushin place which has a more traditional sensei and general vibe.
In general, I found Kyokushin sparing more fun than BJJ, and about as fun as Judo, because of it being faster paced, but I think that maybe once I get better at BJJ and get to know more about the strategies I'll appreciate it more.
While Judo has the advantage of being free for me, one of my goals with this is taking up a martial art that I could do for a very long time, even into my old age, which I think rules out Judo. At the BJJ gym I don't see many older people, but it seems to me that since it is less explosive than Judo and Kyokushin it would be more conductive to training as an older man.
Regarding risk of injuries, I couldn't find a lot of information comparing the both, but Kyokushin seems safer, based on my uneducated perception. I also do resistance training as well, so I think I can keep my body relatively in shape in order to mitigate injuries too.
I am aware that Judo can result in many injuries, but I am still fairly young, and in relatively good shape so I think I can manage it for a while, but I do think I will eventually drop it when my body can't keep up with throws and falls anymore.
I am not a competitive person, and as such I don't currently have a desire to compete in anything. I also have been mugged a few times, so my belief is that self defense is way more about awareness and staying calm than about fighting skill, so that isn't really a concern for me.
On the other hand, I do like the idea of being a more well rounded martial artist, even though I don't plan on getting into MMA, nor do I believe that brings any significant advantage in the self defense department. So that is a point in favor of adding Kyokushin.
So, all that said, I would like to hear your thoughts on the pros and cons of each option. While I would like my particular goals to be taken in consideration for the purposes of this question, I do think it would be interesting to have an open discussion on the merits of focusing on one area or cross training different areas.
Thank you very much,
Best regards

2024.05.15 08:07 Money_Rope4493 First Year GrC Student Thinking of Switching into ITP for Packaging or Business Administration for Consumer Packaging
When I first got into Cal Poly as a Graphic Communication major I was so sure that I wanted to do UX/UI, but as many have pointed out the curriculum probably won't improve until after I graduate. I also considered the current job prospects for UX/UI and web development in general and it seems very oversaturated.
I'm a simple guy, I just want a decent job after I graduate which is why I thought about the Packaging Concentration Graphic Communication or taking up a minor in Packaging. However, I haven't been able to enjoy my Graphic Communication classes because of my lack of design experience. Furthermore, it's hard to see myself in Graphic Communication classes going forward (although I do love the faculty and the overall support I've gotten).
Design doesn't really bring me joy and so I wanted to delve deeper into the technical aspects of Packaging and the career support OCOB offers. My first plan is to switch to Business Administration with a concentration in Consumer Packaging, but in case that doesn't work out for me, I'll try applying to ITP with a concentration in Packaging, but if that doesn't work work out I'll stick with Graphic Communication with a concentration in Management and Minor in Packaging.
I'm hoping it's still not too late to switch majors! If anyone has gone through a similar experience I have please let me know.

However, I haven't been able to enjoy my Graphic Communication classes because of my lack of design experience. Furthermore, it's hard to see myself in Graphic Communication classes going forward (although I do love the faculty and the overall support I've gotten).
Design doesn't really bring me joy and so I wanted to delve deeper into the technical aspects of Packaging and the career support OCOB offers. My first plan is to switch to Business Administration with a concentration in Consumer Packaging, but in case that doesn't work out for me, I'll try applying to ITP with a concentration in Packaging, but if that doesn't work work out I'll stick with Graphic Communication with a concentration in Management and Minor in Packaging.
I'm hoping it's still not too late to switch majors! If anyone has gone through a similar experience I have please let me know.
2024.05.15 08:07 Real_Special_6922 Maybe someone at AH didn't think the major order though, the numbers just don't make sense
2,000,000,000 bots divided by the current peak player count 88,909 helldivers, with require each and every helldiver to kill 22,495 each, and that's only if every player was fight bots, and with about 40% of player with the bugs, you can bump that to 37,491 kills each, and that may have been a little much after the drop in player base. And could probably be used as an example of why considering the player count for the expected time of weeks the major orders are released durring maybe an important thing (not saying we shouldn't fail orders, but we had 2-4 times the players and 24 extra hours to kill 2 billion bugs and only managed to kill half a billion so a little forethought for the next unlockable stratagem *i know it was a issues that cause that but none the less we only killed ½ a billon bugs )

2024.05.15 08:05 Quirky-swaggurl-420 I have no idea where to work and my appearance doesn’t help, any advice??
Kind of long, but any advice or input would be greatly appreciated :)
I (22F) have been working in fast food/ retail since I was 17 and I’m finally ready to take that leap to leave my current job and find one that will help advance my career and give me at least some financial stability. I also live in NorCal for context (not sure if I’d be willing to move quite yet.) I’ve been at my current retail job since 2021 and was honestly just going to stay there until I was completely finished with college but I just received my AA and the current management im under is so difficult to work with and extremely offensive I can barely take it not to mention I’ve been in management for about 2 years now and have gone from at least 20hr a week (part time) to less than 10hr a week, less than some associates and they’re all 3 hour shifts so I’m not even allowed to take a 10min break though im not even sure if that’s legal??
I am very fortunate to not have to pay rent as I live with my parents and I only have to worry about paying for my car, gas, phone, school, necessity’s etc. So no rent is a life saver in this economy. With that being said I don’t necessarily need the highest paying job quite yet (willing to work my way up or gain helpful experience) though that would be ideal for anyone. I just want to be able to find something that fits with my personality/ needs and also doesn’t care the way I look. I know sometimes you have to do what u gotta do but I cannot take working somewhere I’m miserable at and I understand that is a privilege within itself so I’m just trying to use the time I do have to really find what I’m passionate about and not be scared to try new things.
I still want to go back to school to get my bachelors degree since it’s always been a dream of mine, but since I pretty much pay for everything out of pocket besides some degree of financial aide, I don’t want to just aimlessly transfer somewhere with no clue on what to study which has been my issues for some time. I feel like my interest haven’t changed much and neither have my dreams to further my education so I’ve pretty much been saying the same things since probably before high school and I still have no clue what exactly the direction is I should go. I would love to gain some first hang experience to know if getting my B.A. is even worth it for the field I want to go into or what major would benefit me the best.
I have many interests and ideas as to what I could possibly do but I feel like as much as I say them out loud no one really relates so I always feel alone or like there’s no possible job for me that I’ll feel happy in. I mean I think majority of people would rather not work and focus their lives on their hobbies and passions but unfortunately that’s not in the cards for most people and though I sometimes live in that dreamland that doesn’t change the fact that I’m extremely dedicated, hard-working and really want to make a difference in whatever field I end up in. So I guess I’ll leave a list of the things I’m interested in, in case anybody has some advice or input on any occupations I’ve listed or have experience in anything I’ve listed.
I guess another thing to mention is that I was recently applying to a lot of jobs in childcare and pretty much every interview I went to turn me down on the spot because of my appearance. Of course I hear the stories of looking less professional due to your tattoos, piercings, etc., which I never understand. I don’t even have a single tattoo or piercing, not even my ears, but I have bright pink hair and that has been such a downside for the interviewing processes, even some retail jobs like Box Lunch for example doesn’t accept colored hair when they’re literally a pop culture store and share the same company as Hot Topic. I don’t want to have to change my appearance for a job. I know it’s just hair but I was never able to express myself the way I wanted to and the amount of money and maintenance that goes with having colored hair would not be worth it to me to color black just to get a job. It would feel like I’m altering myself and changing something that makes me feel good about myself is unfair and already puts a bad taste in my mouth about the company because they are willing to look over my qualifications and work ethic due to one minor detail in my appearance. One of these jobs I even had two on the phone interviews that went amazing and was going to my final in person interview and was literally meeting with a family for a behavioral technician job and the first thing they (the company) told me was I would need to change my hair to even be considered and I had to eventually politely end the interview because they still wanted to me to meet a kid despite straight up telling me they will not hire me if I didn’t immediately change my hair… and I’d be working with a family, not even in a ‘ public setting.’ I would just love to be able to work in a community that embraces people for their differences for the way they express themselves, and encourages self expression.
Anyways, here are some of my interests and I’d be eternally grateful to hear any feedback! Maybe you’ve worked in some of these environments and have advice or horror stories, if you have similar interests to me let me know what kind of job you have because I’m sure I don’t even know the formal titles to half of these jobs, or even have other ideas that match my interests. Thank you thank you thank you!
My schooling/ experience so far: * 5 years of theatre under my belt (onstage/backstage/management) * Just graduated with my AA in Social & Behavioral Sciences (Random but was recommended to do so based on all of the same interest I told my counselor some odd years ago) * Most of my college classes were focused in sociology, psychology, and child development, which has been super interesting so I am willing to branch out from my interest because I did find a lot of interest in the classes I’ve taken previously. * Have worked in retail for four years; Pretty well received by people * A nanny to 4 kids (ages 4-16) for about 3.5 years as well
My personality: (not sure if this will help with knowing if I would be a good fit for any of the jobs listed )
i’m extremely bubbly and can have my extroverted moments, but I can also be introverted at times and when work needs to get done, I will figure out the best way to do it and get to work. I work pretty well with a team and always have ideas flowing and bouncing around, but I can also excel working on my own/have no issues being independent with my work. I don’t have a huge preference on a fast versus slow paced work environment. I would like something flexible, but I have no issue with getting into a routine. I feel like I am truly pretty flexible when it comes to my work environment, I just really want a place that I can express myself and be surrounded by a community of people similar to me. I love to be innovative and creative.
My interests/ ideas: (sorry kinda random and jumps around)
Thank you so much to anyone who responds with advice and kind words :)

2024.05.15 08:05 spunchy M&B 2024 Warsaw 2: History of Money and Finance
 | For our schedule and links to other discussions, see the Money and Banking 2024 master post. submitted by spunchy to moneyview [link] [comments] This is the discussion thread for Economics of Money and Banking Warsaw Lecture 2: History of Money and Finance? This lecture provides historical context for how people have thought about money and banking over time, and, in particular, how the Money View approach emerged. This material is largely absent from the original 2012 lectures, but the historical context can give us an intellectual starting point to build on. NOTE 1: As with Warsaw Lecture 1, the audio in this lecture only plays over the left channel. I recommend downmixing to mono in your computer's audio settings, so it doesn't distract you. NOTE 2: The recording doesn't start until a few minutes in, toward the end of Slide 2. The slides are not always visible in the recording. I've included their content below. Slide 2: Two traditions (0:00 – 0:18)“There were, at the least, two strands in classical economics. There was one (represented, roughly speaking, by Ricardo and his followers) which maintained that all would be well if by some device credit money could be made to behave like metallic money; there was another (represented, so far as I have taken the story, by Thornton and Mill) which held that credit money must be managed, even though (as was admitted) it is difficult to manage it. This is a major difference, and it has outlasted Keynes.” Hicks 1967, “Monetary Theory and History” Slide 3: Drivers (0:18 – 5:18)
Slide 4: The Money View (5:18 – 6:41)
Slide 5: The Economics/Finance View (6:41 – 8:12)

Slide 8: Monetary Thought, 1913 (13:06 – 18:15)https://preview.redd.it/7vznevo56j0d1.png?width=800&format=png&auto=webp&s=219585488495b9f82c93add7418e07dc7cd7f253Slide 9: Political Thought, 1913 (18:15 – 21:53)

(37:16 – 38:28)
Slide 16: Evolution of Macro? (38:28 – 40:11)
Slide 17: The Lucas Link: Macro vs. Finance (40:11 – 42:52)“On the one hand, it is easy to postulate agents and market institutions which ignore or foolishly waste information: the result is a theory which seriously understates agents’ abilities to vary their decision rules with changes in the environment (such as, for example, the theory underlying the major econometric forecasting models). It is equally easy to postulate ‘efficient’ securities markets which rapidly transmit all information to all traders: the result is a static general equilibrium model. To observe that one must avoid both extremes to understand the business cycle does not take one very far in discovering the correct ‘centrist’ model, but it seems nonetheless an essential point of departure.” (Lucas 1975, 1138).

(55:12 – 56:52)“If the interest rate on money, as well as the rates on all other financial assets, were flexible and endogenous, then ….there would be no room for monetary policy to affect aggregate demand.” Tobin (1969, 26) Slide 25: Monetarism Mark I (56:52 – 57:14)

He was institutionalist too in his insistence that our economy is essentially, not incidentally, monetary in character. His way of fleshing out that idea was to look at every economic unit—firms, households, governments, even countries—as though it were a bank daily balancing cash inflow against cash outflow. From that point of view, the categories that most economists, and most people, take to be solid simply melt into air. Production, consumption, and trade, are nothing more than flows of money in and out and between different economic units. The most real thing is money, but money is nothing more than a form of debt, which is to say a commitment to pay money at some time in the future. The whole system is therefore fundamentally circular and self-referential. There is nothing underneath, as it were, holding it up. In Minsky’s hyper-modern institutionalism, institutions do not merely organize the stuff of some pre-existing real world; there are the only real world there is. Financial relationships are not about mediating something else on the ‘real’ side of the economy; they are the constitutive relationships of the whole system. The veil of money is the very fabric of the modern economy.”Please post any questions and comments below. We will have a one-hour live discussion of Warsaw Lecture 2 on Wednesday, May 13th, at 2:00pm EDT. |

These injuries often occur due to overuse of a part of the body, direct impact, or the application of a force that is greater than the body part can structurally withstand. Effective Sports Injury Treatment Sports injuries are physical damages that occur during any sporting activity, practice, or exercise session, and can range from minor bruises and sprains to severe fractures and torn ligaments. These injuries often occur due to overuse of a part of the body, direct impact, or the application of a force that is greater than the body part can structurally withstand. Effective Sports Injury Treatment varies depending on the severity and type of injury, but generally includes a combination of rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE method) to reduce swelling and pain in the initial stages. More serious injuries may require physical therapy, medication for pain and inflammation, or even surgery to repair damaged tissues. Rehabilitation plays a crucial role in helping athletes recover fully and return to their sports activities safely, often incorporating strength and flexibility exercises to rebuild strength and prevent future injuries. Sports Injury Treatment: Types, Diagnosis, Treatments, Prevention, and MoreSports injuries, while common among athletes, can vary widely in severity and type. Understanding these injuries, how they are diagnosed, treated, and most importantly, prevented, can help athletes stay healthy and perform at their best.Understanding Sports InjuriesSports injuries can be broadly classified into two categories: acute and chronic. Acute injuries occur suddenly during activity and include sprains, strains, fractures, and contusions. Chronic injuries develop over time due to repetitive activity and include conditions like tendinitis and stress fractures.Common Types of Sports Injuries

2024.05.15 08:03 aliGG667 What chance do I have to get into top university for masters?
Hi all,
I am planning to apply to MiM for September 2025 start.
Here is some information about me: 25 year old Graduated with a 2:1 in Finance and Banking from a mid-tier university (Essex) with an overall score of 61%. Live and work in a non English speaking country Have 5 years of work experience (will have 7 by the time I enter my masters), including: 1 year as an auditor at Deloitte 3 years as financial manager at a local company 1 year as Deputy Chief at the local representative office of a large national company.
Universities I am considering are AMBS, Warwick, Lancaster, QM, Newcastle, Sheffield. I am not sure if I stand a chance of gaining an admission to top tier universities such as LBS, LSE, Oxford, UCL etc considering I am not going to take GMAT or any other tests as I do not have much free time.
Also, I read somewhere that having more than 2 years of work experience is a red flag for unis when admitting for masters programmes. Is this true?
One reason why I want to do masters is because I started forgetting English language, but I also really want to add Masters in top school to my CV to offset my mid bachelor diploma.
I would appreciate any advice on how to maximise my chances to get into top school.

I am planning to apply to MiM for September 2025 start.
Here is some information about me: 25 year old Graduated with a 2:1 in Finance and Banking from a mid-tier university (Essex) with an overall score of 61%. Live and work in a non English speaking country Have 5 years of work experience (will have 7 by the time I enter my masters), including: 1 year as an auditor at Deloitte 3 years as financial manager at a local company 1 year as Deputy Chief at the local representative office of a large national company.
Universities I am considering are AMBS, Warwick, Lancaster, QM, Newcastle, Sheffield. I am not sure if I stand a chance of gaining an admission to top tier universities such as LBS, LSE, Oxford, UCL etc considering I am not going to take GMAT or any other tests as I do not have much free time.
Also, I read somewhere that having more than 2 years of work experience is a red flag for unis when admitting for masters programmes. Is this true?

2024.05.15 08:03 No_Violinist_8047 Looking for tips on things to consider after uploading on youtube
Hello! Im relatively new in the youtube space, I've been posting on youtube constantly for about 2 weeks and am planning to focus on the Gaming niche specifically towards "RPG Guides" I have a few questions to ask and was hoping to get some point of views from those are who more experienced
I notice that in youtube studio there is an editor tool, I was wondering if anyone has used that to edit a video after it has been uploaded, I was thinking of using it to trim down certain areas where the video tends to dip. Will it be recommended?
and do you guys use chapters in your videos? I'm using it as I feel that some viewers would prefer to be able to skip and go straight to what they are looking for, but sometimes people would want to see the whole process. does it negatively affect the video? like example, lesser watch time.
Thank you!

2024.05.15 08:02 Daemonback Why am I like this
For the record I do not have any trauma related disorders, personality disorders, or mental disorders other than MDD and severe anxiety. That being said I truly share symptoms across a lot of different disorders which confuses the hell out of me.
I had a normal childhood until about middle school. There I experienced a moderate amount of social isolations but still managed to make friends. A few of these friends tended to mess with me and try to make me feel as if I was lesser. I know I am not overreacting because other people have told me this and they act differently toward others. I think this was due to my appearance at a younger age and my anxiety. I cut them off because I realized they didn’t keep me around for other then making themselves feel good. I kept a few friends that I never Really considered close but largely I feel didn’t want to hangout with me lying about reasons not being able to hangout. I caught them in lies multiple times posting stories being somewhere when they said they were too tired to do anything or had a family event. I wantd to do something maybe once every two weeks and when they were busy maybe once a month but they managed to hangout with other people every weekend. High school I isolated myself and experimented with different personalities to try to make friends but nothing really worked that well. In my Highschool friend group I eventually had enough and argued with them over something relatively unimportant and they stopped associating with me after that with no more than a text asking if I was ok after being hospitalized a few days after. I had a bad reaction to prescribed medication that wasn't my fault. Never talked to a few of them after that in person and till this day and they think I am crazy. One said I don’t have it that bad when I tried explaining why I was so upset and how I struggled with a lot of things because a family member had an autistic son and I could never have it that bad. I was forced to go into group therapy in h s as well because of a screw up with the school and long story short my parents agreed it would be best to pull me out for a bit. I was by far the most emotionally stable person in each group I was put in no matter which person it was. I was also the only male except for a couple younger guys that were there for ASPD or OCD. I hate that I actually enjoyed being around all of the people in there. I still hate how I wish I never met any of these people because I think about them way to often and it hurts me. I felt too much in common with girls that had PTSD, BPD, and severe childhood trauma. I know that sounds awful but I truly wish I could switch lives with them because of the true horrors many of these kids experienced. the main reason I am even religious is because I do not know how a human being could torture another human soul so badly without remorse or reason without being influenced by true evil/demon/possession. I will not go into any detail because I do not feel it is my story to tell. All I will say is the light seemed dull in many children's eyes in that place. The only reason I have cried in the past like 8 months is because I remember the stories these people have told me. I hate how the closest I have every felt to a human being was with a girl that had BPD who I barely know and I felt was kind to me with no reason. I hate how I see these people around my city without it actually being them. I hate how I stay up at night thinking about our conversations. I hate how I feel they did not like me because I was even in there. I felt annoying and disrespectful without trying and I felt everything I said was stupid and came off weird or wrong. I hate how no one understands me as well as some of these girls did. Like why am I actively having good conversations with someone who seems to feel the same emotions I am feeling do not wish to have children because of the way I feel and the risk associated with them experiencing something horrible. I have also never seen myself living super long due to me being high stress and the fact I just have too much weird situations happen to me. I feel every major goal of mine has been ruined by things outside of my control I only have happiness in fleeting moments but I have experienced pure joy in a handful of moments in my life. My baseline is depressed and anxious but manageable. I feel I am lucky enough to not experience true trauma but unlucky enough to keep having bullshit mess with my life plans and happiness. There is more stuff I intentional left out because its too specific and I don't like talking bout them.
Symptoms list:
Mind racing, hypervigilance, feeling everyone is against me without proof, paranoid or more so anxious bad things will happen to me, always on guard in public; feels like people are making fun of me, intense anger toward others the world and myself, sensitive to specific words and topics, intense sensation of hollowness, backseat driveidentity issues [really only preset during extreme bouts of physical and mental stress such as not sleeping, eating or illness], I don't ever get headaches unless I am insanely stressed or depressed, sharp disconnect between myself and my feelings or feeling is should feel, I imagine crazy unrealistic but statistically probable dangerous situations happening to me when I am in public, have an intense almost idiotic need to prove my toughness and would rather die than back down to someone
My doctors have never thought I have autism and the only reason I have ever looked into that is social difficulties and when I am sleep deprived or under extreme stress/ anxiety I am not good in social situations. This has gotten better as I have gotten older though.
I do not have OCD even though I have a borderline extreme obsession with my chosen sport to the point I have to stop myself from talking about it all the time.
I don't hallucinate or have overly grandiose ideas/delusions
Don't fit criteria for PTSD as my symptoms are manageable enough to function at a high level and I have not really hit any of the trauma criteria under the DSM-5
Bipolar out of the question as I only ever experience manic symptoms when I am sick and cant get enough sleep and my mood is relatively stable. My psych told me to stop telling my therapist I have experienced mania because he believes its only due to sleep related insomnia. Even though they did say it is possible its not likely.
bipolar same with schizophrenia don't even come close to this one
Personality disorder I have no immediate family that has any of these and I did not have an exceptionally hard childhood. No severe trauma to cause this plus my mood is to stable and antidepressants help me regulate for the most part also antipsychotic actually make me worse even atypical ones suck.
My docs and therapist just say I am really unlucky and have MDD severe anxiety and to get over my past but I feel as if it is apart of me and if I let go of it that all my pain was meant for nothing. I don't know why but I would rather go a lifetime of suffering because I feel that is a better alternative for me personally and is more honorable to society than the alternative. I Truly for some reason don't have a quitting bone in my body and sometimes wish this wasn't the case. I think this is party due to spite and hate and the fact I cant believe all this was meant for nothing.

2024.05.15 08:01 SharkEva WIBTA if I turned down a promotion due to my original transfer being blocked?

WIBTA if I turned down a promotion due to my original transfer being blocked?
WIBTA? Little back story, I started working for a company in early 2022 as what they labeled as Admin, but don't let that fool you we were no admins, we worked 3 different departments that they combined into one with 3 people to cover everything, plus we were constantly fixing Customer Service mistakes.
Nov 2022 I met with the director of the Benefits Dept at work because I was interested in transferring and we went over the department, what the job entails and what I could start working on to better my chances at transferring. I checked in with the director many times as I finished different tasks such as completing the training courses, shadowing members of the team, and taking part in live trainings.
Early 2023 the director got a promotion to be the director of another department. In March a spot opened up in Benefits and it was a little outside what I knew, it was more a specialized position, but I still applied. I met with a few managers and the new director for interviews. We discussed many things and it was a positive experience, they were even happy with the steps that I had taken with the previous director. However, because it was such a specialized position they didn't want to throw me into the deep end, so they told me to apply for a different position when it opened up.
In May the other position opened up and I applied and basically skipped the interviews. The director and I meet and we discussed getting me transferred and doing it in a hybrid type manner. That worked for me and it worked for my current manager at the time too. Sadly, it feel through and I could never seem to get an answer as to why. It started out as budget reasons, totally understandable, but then it switched to not having troubleshooting knowledge that I would have if I had worked in Customer Service.
I had meeting with my (admin) manager and director, she covers both admin and customer service, I asked more clarifying questions as to why the transfer fell through but no one could give me a straight answer. We developed a plan to get me transferred to Benefits that caused me to route through Customer Service. I was transferred into Customer Service in November 2023.
Our CS team is split into basically 2 levels, 1 being online requests which is where everyone starts. You work a variety of requests and can gain a lot of knowledge. This is currently where I am. The second level is working the phones and helping the people that call in. This is more limited subject matter and can also carry a lot of "downtime" as they cannot work the online requests like the first level can because they will be on and off the phone all day.
Here is where I am wondering if I WIBTA. I have figured out, though not confirmed, that my directors boss is the one that blocked my transfer back in May and she is just a bitch/micromanager in general. Now someone from out phone team is leaving and it has been hinted that I might be the next one to move up. While it would come with a pay increase, not a lot or enough for the crap that we go through, I don't want it because I see it as more detrimental to me possibly transferring to my preferred department.
WIBTA if I said no because it would do more harm than good. Then turning around and asking how much longer I needed to be in the Customer Service department before I could apply to another position in the Benefits Dept?
Maybe helpful to also know that my customer service manager is not the best, she seems to bow down the the micromanager and she can't seem to manage a team of 10ish people, nor was she able to do half her job for moths and my admin manager was the one doing her work.

They're screwing you around. If you're good at your current role they don't want to move you. You could tell them that they transfer you or you leave, but they probably don't care about you much. Alternatively, just coast along, do what you must to keep management off your back and find a new job.

NTA you do not have to stay at a job where you feel like you’re not growing/moving up. do not let any employer trick you into thinking that you owe it to them to stay there if it no longer works out for you. time to update your resume and start job hunting to see what’s out there.
Update - 6 weeks later
So I was an idiot and decided to take the promotion. Not my finest moment.
However, things have taken a turn for the interesting.
A week after I took the promotion another team that I have been interested in but never thought I could work in tapped me to transfer to their team. I ended up reaching out to our HR team to gather some guidance and spoke with our recruiter that works internally and externally.
He gave me some good pointers and helped me navigate how to best approach the conversation. The conversation then turned to my manager and I let him know all the issues I've been having with her, including not approving PTO till timecards are being turned in amongst other issues. Turns out I am not the first person to bring these concerns forward and HR is actively looking into the situation.
I ended up having a conversation with my manager the following week and from the start of the conversation I knew it wouldn't have the outcome I was hoping for based off of her body language. And I was right, even with laying everything out I was denied my managers blessing because I just moved tiers.
But the fun part of all of this is that she tried to pull the 6-month rule as to why I couldn't apply. The 6-month rule is part of our handbook. "You have to be in your position for 6-months before you can transfer internally for non-exempt employees." I asked my manager to get us clarification since we both had different understanding of the rule.
I know position could be tier, however I asked our HR team and the said position is department based. A better wording would be in my department for 6-months.
The following week she director was out so can't do anything that week so the following week I asked for a follow up. Guess who forgot to follow up with me. Not the first time she has done this. She is now saying it is tier based and I have to be in my position for a YEAR.
I reached back out to HR and we are now looping in the head of HR to talk about this.

Why did you take the promotion when you knew this person was playing games with your career?
Magdovus
Ask HR if you can apply for jobs in the other department as an external candidate instead of an internal one. When they ask why tell them that quitting and reapplying seems to be the only way to avoid your current department managers trying to ruin your career.
Update - 1 month later
So it has been a month of back and forth, and we still don’t technically have a resolution but I thought I might give a quick update.
After our director was back I reached out to my manager to ask if they had received clarification and they said: “if you move tiers your clock restarts and I have to be in my department for a year”. That still didn’t sit right with me, I had previously contacted HR as a minor inquiry if the clock was tier or department and they had said department.
I reached back out to the head of our HR team and set up a meeting so that we could discuss this. In that meeting, HR agreed with me and said that they would speak with the director to get clarification on what was going on and she would get back to me by the end of the week. She did and told me straight up that I met the tenure requirements to be able to apply for a transfer. Now I was supposed to get an update but it was postponed due to people being out of the office and things like that. But I finally got the update last week. They are saying no for two reasons now, I don’t meet the requirements of the job, such as a degree, and performance. But my performance has never been addressed. When I have made mistakes, I informed and the mistakes never happened again.
As for the degree thing, that can be worked around, and that is something that the manager or that team is working on for me.
But now they are saying that it is a big concern of theirs. My question at this point is if it was such a big concern why was that not brought up from the beginning? Why were we only discussing my tenure as the reason that I couldn’t apply?
Honestly, I almost quit in that meeting right there. The only reason that I am even thinking of staying is that the team that I would be transferring to is amazing and I already know how they operate and I already work closely with them.
I should be having another meeting next week with the manager and director and I am going to likely loop in HR as well.
I have decided that if I am blocked from applying I will be leaving and I will be citing that as well as many other reasons as to why I am leaving. The least of which is the fact that I now know that the director has gone and bad-mouthed an employee to another manager that someone was hoping to transfer over to.
Edit to add: I just spoke with a coworker who left a few weeks ago. They pulled the same things with him. He wanted to go to another department but they had a meeting with him saying that they saw him on a different path, one that kept him in the department. He said they did that to our other coworker who left just before him too.

OOP: I've been thinking about coasting and just working my job description. Our phone team is technically down one person, and we have to help cover the missing persons time on phones. It's split, between most of us that work the first level. I might come out of that meeting with no phone time because it's not part of my job and you are probably right they don't want to move me because of that.

So I was an idiot and decided to take the promotion. Not my finest moment.
However, things have taken a turn for the interesting.
A week after I took the promotion another team that I have been interested in but never thought I could work in tapped me to transfer to their team. I ended up reaching out to our HR team to gather some guidance and spoke with our recruiter that works internally and externally.
He gave me some good pointers and helped me navigate how to best approach the conversation. The conversation then turned to my manager and I let him know all the issues I've been having with her, including not approving PTO till timecards are being turned in amongst other issues. Turns out I am not the first person to bring these concerns forward and HR is actively looking into the situation.
I ended up having a conversation with my manager the following week and from the start of the conversation I knew it wouldn't have the outcome I was hoping for based off of her body language. And I was right, even with laying everything out I was denied my managers blessing because I just moved tiers.
But the fun part of all of this is that she tried to pull the 6-month rule as to why I couldn't apply. The 6-month rule is part of our handbook. "You have to be in your position for 6-months before you can transfer internally for non-exempt employees." I asked my manager to get us clarification since we both had different understanding of the rule.
I know position could be tier, however I asked our HR team and the said position is department based. A better wording would be in my department for 6-months.
The following week she director was out so can't do anything that week so the following week I asked for a follow up. Guess who forgot to follow up with me. Not the first time she has done this. She is now saying it is tier based and I have to be in my position for a YEAR.
I reached back out to HR and we are now looping in the head of HR to talk about this.

Why did you take the promotion when you knew this person was playing games with your career?
OOP: Believe me I am pissed at myself for taking it. I have been a people pleaser for so long and it's something I've been improving on and I was caught in a weak moment. I did have some hope that the agreement that was in place before this person became my manager would be honored but I was naive to think so.
I can always back out of the new position if need be, which I have been think about.

Ask HR if you can apply for jobs in the other department as an external candidate instead of an internal one. When they ask why tell them that quitting and reapplying seems to be the only way to avoid your current department managers trying to ruin your career.
OOP: This is a thought that I have. Going to wait and see what happens with my next meeting with HR. They seem supportive of my transfer so they may be able to pull some strings to make it happen, but this is on my radar.
Update - 1 month later
So it has been a month of back and forth, and we still don’t technically have a resolution but I thought I might give a quick update.
After our director was back I reached out to my manager to ask if they had received clarification and they said: “if you move tiers your clock restarts and I have to be in my department for a year”. That still didn’t sit right with me, I had previously contacted HR as a minor inquiry if the clock was tier or department and they had said department.
I reached back out to the head of our HR team and set up a meeting so that we could discuss this. In that meeting, HR agreed with me and said that they would speak with the director to get clarification on what was going on and she would get back to me by the end of the week. She did and told me straight up that I met the tenure requirements to be able to apply for a transfer. Now I was supposed to get an update but it was postponed due to people being out of the office and things like that. But I finally got the update last week. They are saying no for two reasons now, I don’t meet the requirements of the job, such as a degree, and performance. But my performance has never been addressed. When I have made mistakes, I informed and the mistakes never happened again.
As for the degree thing, that can be worked around, and that is something that the manager or that team is working on for me.
But now they are saying that it is a big concern of theirs. My question at this point is if it was such a big concern why was that not brought up from the beginning? Why were we only discussing my tenure as the reason that I couldn’t apply?
Honestly, I almost quit in that meeting right there. The only reason that I am even thinking of staying is that the team that I would be transferring to is amazing and I already know how they operate and I already work closely with them.
I should be having another meeting next week with the manager and director and I am going to likely loop in HR as well.
I have decided that if I am blocked from applying I will be leaving and I will be citing that as well as many other reasons as to why I am leaving. The least of which is the fact that I now know that the director has gone and bad-mouthed an employee to another manager that someone was hoping to transfer over to.
Edit to add: I just spoke with a coworker who left a few weeks ago. They pulled the same things with him. He wanted to go to another department but they had a meeting with him saying that they saw him on a different path, one that kept him in the department. He said they did that to our other coworker who left just before him too.

Sure thing!
This is a petty revenge that I had a part in, with a touch of malicious compliance.
So, this occurred in late 2019 and at the time I (29f at the time) was living with my best friend and her roommate/landlord S who owned the house that they were living in.
I was asked if I wanted to move in, by my best friend with S’ permission in mid-2017, as S had poor judgement when it came to letting people live with them (whole other stories from my bestie about the other people that were living there before me), and everything seemed fine as we were paying our rent on time, keeping things in the main areas tidy, and had no major fights between us.
Until it suddenly went to hell, I had no inkling that anything was wrong.
One day in October while we were all at work S suddenly without any warning sent me and my best friend a text saying that we needed to move out by the end of the year without any discussion beforehand about feeling dissatisfied or wanting us to leave. This completely blindsided me and sent me into a panic attack at work and pissed my best friend off with how S handled it.
A verbal fight ensued between my best friend and S that night, but the situation didn't change so we hit the ground running in looking for a new place to live (as I and my friend had a holiday overseas booked less than a month from when we got the text message) and less than 2 weeks later we have a lease signed and a move in date set for a new place.
The petty revenge part was that the day we would be moving out happened to coincide with S needing to leave the state for a business trip for over a week so she wouldn’t be there when we left.
What this did to wreak S’ plans:
A. She had to go and find a pet sitter for her pets as there was no way that we would be doing it once we left (we went NC with S after this), since my best friend and I were normally the ones who looked after her pets when she wasn’t there as we were living with them.
We were NOT going to be doing S any favours after the stunt she pulled and the fights that she picked with us after that message was sent.
B. She couldn’t ‘supervise’ our moving and thus ensure that we wouldn’t "steal her stuff."
I had finally had enough of S’ bullshit at that point and shouted at her that "we didn’t want her stuff AND that she wasn’t worth getting arrested for" when she fought with us about that.
C. She lost out on rent for at least a fortnight as we paid to the day that we left, and she had to find other roommates to fill out the rooms which could only happen after she got back from her business trip.
D. As we knew that S wasn’t going to give our security deposit back (that was her petty revenge against us for moving out so fast) we didn’t clean up after ourselves when we vacated the bedrooms as we figured that she could take the time to clean them when she got back.
S was fuming at the fact that we took control of the situation so quickly and ruined her enjoyment of watching us squirm to find a new place close to Christmas.
She couldn’t do anything about it and had to leave knowing that we would be long gone by the time she got back (we didn’t tell her anything about where we were moving to so that she couldn’t track us down and harass us).
But at least we weren’t living with her during COVID lockdowns which occurred less than 6 months later; as S is an extrovert and would have been bouncing off the walls during the lockdowns.
The reason why I remembered this petty revenge; was the fact that last month my best friend told me that she had passed S’ place on her way to work, and it seems like S has bought another place since she used to complain about how far away she was from her job, so she has a real estate managing the property with new tenants.
(My best friend did some snooping to confirm that the house hadn't been sold between 2019 when we left and 2024)
The tenants: a family with kids are letting the front lawn get overgrown and cluttered with junk. (who knows what the inside looks like) S is house proud, and she used to ensure that everything in the front yard was mowed, neat and tidy while we lived together. Plus, she did not like kids so salt in the wound there.
If she knew how her house looked now, she would throw the biggest hissy fit ever. (I tried to convince my best friend to take pics to send to S on Facebook, but haven’t succeeded yet, but if I do it will be another entry on this)
But this is what I would say to S if I felt like looking her up and telling her about her house's condition:
"So, we weren’t the worst tenants after all S, if you had kept us there, we would have ensured that the house was looked after how you wanted it to be when you moved out of that house."

Note: Monetization is allowed, just credit me, ask before making any changes, and send a link to the audio. Also, there are 831 words of dialogue
Context: You are a knight that was once in love with a magic user. Unfortunately, you had to slay them because they betrayed you. One night, as you try to spend some time with your new lover, someone familiar seeks you out. They are seeking revenge!
Note: 831 words of dialogue
[Feet walking on ground] Well, well, well. What do we have here? Two little love birds kissing behind a tree? How scandalous! You two should really get a room.
…
What’s with the staring? Did you really think I’d look the same as the day you killed and buried me in that grave? That's not how resurrection works darling. As you can clearly see, I’m all bones but I managed to keep my luscious locks. Apparently even as an undead lich, I still look gorgeous.
…
Your new love interest is quite… underwhelming. To be completely honest darling, I never expected you to move on so quickly. Especially after all we shared together. Now I see you cuddling up with this pathetic little thing. You clearly have downgraded. If you wanted to find a new lover, perhaps you should have found someone more worth your time.
…
Do not talk to her like that? Please darling, you lost all rights to boss me around once you betrayed and killed me. I can talk to her however I please. [Talking to Listener's new lover] Listen sweetie, your knight in shining armor is a slug that only cares about themselves. The moment they are tired of you, they will cast you aside like garbage. Just like they did to me. If you’re lucky, they’ll make your ending painless.
…
From your expression you clearly have forgotten about what you did to me. You, the person I loved the most, pierced my heart with a sword and tossed me into a pauper's grave! I gave you everything! My heart, my soul, everything!
…
Do not give me that! I did not betray you. You betrayed me. Stabbed me in the back when I least expected it. And to think that the king knighted you.
…
Yes, I do expect an explanation. Why did you do it?
…
Because of Raven Brook? What about that stupid, little, backwater town?
…
I destroyed it? [Barking Laugh] But of course, they deserved it. Plotting to kill me and my family. The bunch of traitors. You would think they would be grateful for everything I did for them. Turns out they repay safety and mercy with death and destruction. Ungrateful peasants, the lot of them.
…
(Hurt and accusatory) Innocent people?! Don't make me laugh! You should have seen what they said about my family. Actually, you did see what they did when we walked through the town on official business for the king. They threw garbage at me! Called me horrible names. Witch, harlot, demon, and every other name in the book. And not once did you defend me. Not once did you shield me from the hurtful words or projectiles. It makes me wonder… did you also see me as a monster? Is that why it was so easy for you to kill me? I didn't see any tears on your face when you made the fatal blow. Only a cold mask.
…
Don’t even bother trying to defend yourself. You have no leg to stand on, nothing to say that can fix all of this. However, there is something you can do…sacrifice yourself.
…
I mean, tis only fair. You killed me for defending my family, I kill you for stabbing me in the back. If you’d like, your new little girlfriend can watch.
…
Let her go free? I don’t think so. Can’t have any witnesses darling. Afterall, that’s the first step of a revenge plan.
…
(Mocking) Aww! How sweet is this? Your little lady friend is using her own body to shield you. Isn’t that just precious. If I had a heart, it would be bursting at the sight. Too bad though, I need to dispose of her.
…
Now what to do with her? There are so many possibilities. I can feed her to my pets or toss her into the void. I could make her watch your demise, but I’d rather see your fear as you wonder about her fate. I’ll just stick her in one of my shadow pockets to be disposed of later.
…
[Talking to Listener’s new Lover] Now my dear, please hold still while I make sure you don’t escape.
…
[Clanking of chains] Hey! Hey! Don’t struggle or else these chains will tighten. Wouldn’t want your pretty skin to be ruined, now would we?
…
Now that’s better. Little Miss heroine is all chained up and ready to be tossed into my shadow pocket.
…
How do I still have my magic? My dear sweet hero, you forgot the most important rule before burying a magic user: Cut off their head before burying them. It would seem that the moment I left the world of the living, you forgot all about me. That includes everything I taught you.
…
What am I going to do to you? (Smirk) That answer is very simple: I am going to break you like you broke my heart. I’ll tear you apart bit by bit. You’ll feel all the pain I felt when you betrayed me and buried me in that pauper’s grave. And don’t worry about your new girlfriend. I’ll take care of her later. Prepare for your worst nightmare, my dear knight.

Context: You are a knight that was once in love with a magic user. Unfortunately, you had to slay them because they betrayed you. One night, as you try to spend some time with your new lover, someone familiar seeks you out. They are seeking revenge!
Note: 831 words of dialogue
[Feet walking on ground] Well, well, well. What do we have here? Two little love birds kissing behind a tree? How scandalous! You two should really get a room.
…
What’s with the staring? Did you really think I’d look the same as the day you killed and buried me in that grave? That's not how resurrection works darling. As you can clearly see, I’m all bones but I managed to keep my luscious locks. Apparently even as an undead lich, I still look gorgeous.
…
Your new love interest is quite… underwhelming. To be completely honest darling, I never expected you to move on so quickly. Especially after all we shared together. Now I see you cuddling up with this pathetic little thing. You clearly have downgraded. If you wanted to find a new lover, perhaps you should have found someone more worth your time.
…
Do not talk to her like that? Please darling, you lost all rights to boss me around once you betrayed and killed me. I can talk to her however I please. [Talking to Listener's new lover] Listen sweetie, your knight in shining armor is a slug that only cares about themselves. The moment they are tired of you, they will cast you aside like garbage. Just like they did to me. If you’re lucky, they’ll make your ending painless.
…
From your expression you clearly have forgotten about what you did to me. You, the person I loved the most, pierced my heart with a sword and tossed me into a pauper's grave! I gave you everything! My heart, my soul, everything!
…
Do not give me that! I did not betray you. You betrayed me. Stabbed me in the back when I least expected it. And to think that the king knighted you.
…
Yes, I do expect an explanation. Why did you do it?
…
Because of Raven Brook? What about that stupid, little, backwater town?
…
I destroyed it? [Barking Laugh] But of course, they deserved it. Plotting to kill me and my family. The bunch of traitors. You would think they would be grateful for everything I did for them. Turns out they repay safety and mercy with death and destruction. Ungrateful peasants, the lot of them.
…
(Hurt and accusatory) Innocent people?! Don't make me laugh! You should have seen what they said about my family. Actually, you did see what they did when we walked through the town on official business for the king. They threw garbage at me! Called me horrible names. Witch, harlot, demon, and every other name in the book. And not once did you defend me. Not once did you shield me from the hurtful words or projectiles. It makes me wonder… did you also see me as a monster? Is that why it was so easy for you to kill me? I didn't see any tears on your face when you made the fatal blow. Only a cold mask.
…
Don’t even bother trying to defend yourself. You have no leg to stand on, nothing to say that can fix all of this. However, there is something you can do…sacrifice yourself.
…
I mean, tis only fair. You killed me for defending my family, I kill you for stabbing me in the back. If you’d like, your new little girlfriend can watch.
…
Let her go free? I don’t think so. Can’t have any witnesses darling. Afterall, that’s the first step of a revenge plan.
…
(Mocking) Aww! How sweet is this? Your little lady friend is using her own body to shield you. Isn’t that just precious. If I had a heart, it would be bursting at the sight. Too bad though, I need to dispose of her.
…
Now what to do with her? There are so many possibilities. I can feed her to my pets or toss her into the void. I could make her watch your demise, but I’d rather see your fear as you wonder about her fate. I’ll just stick her in one of my shadow pockets to be disposed of later.
…
[Talking to Listener’s new Lover] Now my dear, please hold still while I make sure you don’t escape.
…
[Clanking of chains] Hey! Hey! Don’t struggle or else these chains will tighten. Wouldn’t want your pretty skin to be ruined, now would we?
…
Now that’s better. Little Miss heroine is all chained up and ready to be tossed into my shadow pocket.
…
How do I still have my magic? My dear sweet hero, you forgot the most important rule before burying a magic user: Cut off their head before burying them. It would seem that the moment I left the world of the living, you forgot all about me. That includes everything I taught you.
…
What am I going to do to you? (Smirk) That answer is very simple: I am going to break you like you broke my heart. I’ll tear you apart bit by bit. You’ll feel all the pain I felt when you betrayed me and buried me in that pauper’s grave. And don’t worry about your new girlfriend. I’ll take care of her later. Prepare for your worst nightmare, my dear knight.
2024.05.15 07:58 tab_rick Navigating Bathtub Sizes: Making the Best Choice for Comfort and Space
 | Finding the ideal bathtub size can be a difficult challenge when there are so many different sizes available. The typical bathroom is already so cramped that trying to comfortably fit everything in might feel like fitting pieces into a jigsaw puzzle. The bathtub has changed from being only a practical object to a focal point of bathroom design as a result of the rise in home decor trends and the focus on luxurious bathing experiences. This article will go deeply into the world of bathtubs, assisting you in choosing the right one for your needs and available space while also understanding the many different bathtub sizes and styles. submitted by tab_rick to KKRsolidsurface [link] [comments] Different components of the bathtubA typical drop-in style bathtub takes up more than 13 square feet of floor space and is a common fixture in many homes. Despite the fact that every bathtub is distinct, normal tubs have exterior dimensions that are roughly 60 inches long, 30 inches broad, and 14 to 16 inches high. These measurements are essential for the layout of your bathroom and the overall design. The material of a bathtub is also a component; alternatives range from fiberglass to cast iron, each of which offers a different bathing experience. https://preview.redd.it/metr7luv3j0d1.png?width=612&format=png&auto=webp&s=5a65a381989af3c3630d85ed5ddf6acfaa1a58c9 The Importance of Bathroom LayoutSpace ManagementThe space in bathroom facilities is usually insufficient, especially in metropolitan settings. It follows that thorough planning of your region is necessary. Every inch counts，The location of the bathtub, its closeness to other fixtures, and ensuring mobility all depend on careful space design. Even in very small bathrooms, it’s imperative to leave at least 12 inches between the edge of the tub and any fixtures. As a consequence, the user feels more comfortable while still maintaining functionality.Tips for Smart PositioningWhen positioning the standalone tub, elegance and function must be combined. In smaller bathrooms with constrained space, it’s critical to ensure that the freestanding tub doesn’t impede mobility. The standalone tub’s edge should be kept at least 12 inches away from other fixtures. By having an open floor area that is at least 24 inches wide around the freestanding tub, the bathroom might appear bigger and less crowded. Never forget that striking a balance between design and utility is crucial.Different Types of Bathtubs and Their SizesAlcove BathtubsMany homeowners select alcove bathtubs, which are identified by their location within a space limited by three walls. They are frequently the best choice for tiny or typical-sized bathrooms. These baths are normally between 30 and 36 inches broad and 5 to 6 feet long. The front panel of the design—often referred to as an apron—is typically finished, and the surrounding walls are intended to cover the remaining three sides. When thinking about an alcove bathtub, it’s critical to precisely measure the available space to make sure the tub will fit properly while yet allowing enough room for mobility. An alcove bathtub is set against the far side, so the two long walls form the ends and back of the bathroom.Drop-in BathtubsDrop-in bathtubs have a luxurious appearance and are made to fit into a built-in deck with tile or similar material covering the top and exposed sides. In larger bathrooms, the tub deck can fit into a room corner and be left exposed on two sides. Drop-in bathtubs don’t have factory-finished sides like alcove bathtubs do. Instead, they are made to slide into a deck cutout, much like a drop-in sink slides into a vanity countertop. Depending on the size of your bathroom and your preferred design, these large bathrooms can be placed in a variety of locations. However, because the built-in deck can occupy a sizable amount of area, they work best in larger settings.Oval BathtubsOval baths are considered to be elegant and luxurious. They are available in freestanding or drop-in variants. Despite appearing to be large, they are often only wider than normal bathtubs, not longer. If you’re thinking about getting an oval bathtub, it’s important to consider the extra width, especially if you choose a drop-in model. This entails building a bigger apron for the tub to rest on, which may change how your bathroom is organized in general.Whirlpool BathtubsWhirlpool baths are the epitome of spa-like indulgence. Many of these are available in typical alcove-ready sizes, but they may look bigger than standard tubs. Jetted whirlpool mechanisms can be installed without increasing the footprint. The jets in these corner tubs provide a massage-like effect, making them perfect for anyone looking for a peaceful bathing experience. When considering installing a whirlpool bathtub, it’s critical to consider the additional plumbing requirements and check that the bathroom has adequate space for the tub.Corner BathtubsCorner bathtubs are all about luxury and relaxation. They are great for folks who prefer reading in the tub or watching television on the wall. Because they are often square in shape with one corner chopped off, these bathtubs are a good choice for large bathrooms with plenty of space. They can be configured in many ways, such as a triangle shell or a drop-in tub attached to a triangular deck.Freestanding BathtubsBathtubs that stand alone and are not confined by walls or installed in alcoves are known as freestanding fixtures. They can be purchased in many different designs, such as modern pedestal tubs and traditional classic models. They offer positional flexibility and could act as the centerpiece of a bathroom’s decor. Freestanding bathtubs may be a fantastic alternative for people with mobility concerns or areas with plenty of senior citizens. However, they do require more space all around—typically an extra 3 inches on each end and 4 inches on each side. Even though they provide for creative flexibility, they are therefore best suited for larger bathrooms or those with a layout that can handle a tub of this size.Do you feel dazzled by too many styles? That’s okay, I’ve prepared a form for you to choose the bathtub that’s best for you based on your situation.
Regulatory Guidelines on Bathtub SpacingCode for International BuildingsIt’s not just about aesthetics or personal preferences when planning the arrangement of your bathroom; it’s also about following the International Building Code (IBC). This code is more than simply a list of rules; it’s a well-thought-out framework meant to assure safety and functionality. The IBC frequently specifies the basic minimum distance between bathtubs, emphasizing the significance of user safety and comfort.For example, the IBC may specify the exact inches of space necessary between the tub’s edge and other fixtures or walls. While these standards may appear to be strict, they are there for a purpose. By collaborating with them, you ensure not just a complaint but also a user-friendly and comfortable bathroom. Following these recommendations, in my experience, can save a lot of money. Local RegulationsWhile international standards such as the IBC give a wide foundation, local building rules add an additional degree of complication. These regulations can be fairly varied, reflecting the distinct demands and considerations of many locations. They may go into topics ranging from plumbing complexities to the kind of bathtub materials considered suitable. These municipal rules might feel restricting at times, especially if you have a certain goal in mind.However, keep in mind that they frequently result from the collective expertise of local specialists who understand the region’s particular issues and demands. Before starting a bathroom remodeling or installation project, especially if you want anything extravagant like a whirlpool or a custom-made bathtub, it’s a good idea (and often illuminating) to speak with local authorities or experienced builders. They can offer insights that blend regulatory knowledge with practical experience, ensuring your bathroom is both compliant and captivating. The Future of Bathtub SizesBathtub forms and types vary according to home. We should expect greater innovation in bathtub features and sizes as spa-like experiences and the tiny house movement grow more popular. Individuals looking to improve their bathing experience may find exciting alternatives in the future, ranging from eco-friendly materials to bathtubs with built-in digital capabilities. Whether you have a large or small bathroom, the market is likely to offer a bathtub that meets your needs.ConclusionChoosing the ideal bathtub is a highly emotional adventure, not merely a practical one. It’s about integrating a work of art into one’s life rather than just fitting a tub into a room. The key factor in your choosing is what resonates with you, even though your bathroom’s size, the design of your bathtub, and even the confusing local construction rules all play a part. There are a variety of options, each telling a unique tale, ranging from the snug alcove baths to the grandiose freestanding ones. I would advise someone who believes in the power of personal spaces to thoroughly research the many bathing possibilities while also listening to their emotions. Because your bathtub won’t simply be another feature in your house; it’ll become a beloved haven once you achieve that ideal balance between practicality and heartfelt design. |

2024.05.15 07:54 Grand-Reputation-956 Money worries
Hey all, I’m pregnant woo! And as happy as I am about it I can’t stop worrying about money. It’s non stop. My brain keeps playing out these scenes where we can’t afford to buy the baby things or manage childcare. For reference I’m married and my partner and I both have great jobs. We have a decent savings but we don’t own our home and that was the plan before we had kids and now I’m worried the baby will make buying impossible and we’ll just fall into poverty!
I know a lot of my fears are unreasonable but I literally can’t stop thinking about it.
Any advice? :(
