This will be a long post but I’m going to try my hardest to make it shorter!
I (30F) have been with my partner (28M) for 10 years. I fell pregnant 3 years into the relationship and we now have a 7 year old boy with autism. During the newborn stage my partner worked A LOT and went to college to learn a new trade to support us (he is now an electrician that works 12 hour shifts, 7 days on 4 days off, days and nights), so I have always been on my own a lot. During the newborn stage my partner never got up with our son, never fed him, bathed him etc. I devolved post natal depression, I have a history of mental health issues so this wasn’t a surprise to me, I just expected a bit more help. I went back to work once my MAT leave was up and started to feel better and more “Mel.
Fast forward to 3 years ago, I had a miscarriage and was in hospital with sepsis and needed a D&C due to the hospital missing “remains” I had in my womb. This then led to a mental breakdown and I was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder, PTSD, anxiety and OCD. During this time I was still on my own a lot despite begging not to be, still caring for my child on my own whilst hallucinating and being paranoid. I was still getting up and doing everything around the home and all the childcare despite now being on antipsychotics, the last time I had a lay in was 3 years ago when I was in hospital. My partner stays in bed till 10:30/11 on the days he’s not working, I do everything around the home, cooking, cleaning, school lunches, ironing, walking the dog, supporting and bringing up my autistic child, food shopping, baths etc. Every single thing you can think of apart from going to work I do. I get my nails done once a month, which I can’t really afford time wise, them 2 hours I’m out the home I could be doing the jobs I need to do around the home, he won’t do them just because I’m out, he’ll leave them for me to do when I’m home, including walking the dog. He won’t cook dinner, he wouldn’t even know what to put in his child’s packed lunch box and he refuses to feed the dog because it’s raw meat and won’t touch it.
Whilst I agree that me not going to work is a luxury (I was made redundant and recovering from a mental breakdown; I would not have been able to work), I feel more overwhelmed now than I did before I went to work. He says me not working is why I should do everything around the home, but I also done everything around the home when I worked?
He is always so irritated, shouts at our child if he is having a meltdown or sensory issues, struggles to keep his patience with him and doesn’t have much of a relationship (I never get time on my own to have a bath etc because I am my sons comfort and soul carer). He will either sit on his phone or sit on his PlayStation in the bedroom, eventually be irritated with that, shout and scare my dog and just ruin the mood in the home. I bring all of this up to him but he is like a petulant child and tbh I end up ignoring him because I cannot be bothered with it.
As someone who experiences MH issues I have asked him if he feels depressed and he says no, I ask for a reason as to why he’s to angry all the time and he says he’s just tired (understandable, I mean so am I but I’m not angry and I’m still able to parent).
The last 2 weeks I feel like I’ve logged out mentally in terms of my relationship and I told him this. On top of everything I do around the home, he finds it “weird” that we don’t have sex. I am treated like a maid, a cook, a cleaner, a child care provider and a dog walker, I’m not adding a sex worker to the list. There is no romance, no date nights as he is always working, and the odd occasion he isn’t working our date nights include me, him and his phone. I refuse to have sex with someone that doesn’t care about me enough to help me ease the load I have on top of me, who is irritated all the time and lazy when it comes to parenting and his home.
I guess my question is, AITA in general? Am I expecting too much from my partner? I’d love to hear a males point of view so I can get some insight into why he may be acting the way he is.
PS. I’m writing this at currently 08:21AM, I have been up since 05:00 with my autistic son getting him ready for school, taking him to school, come back home and now I’m walking our dog, all whilst he is still in bed. And he will be in bed until 11AM.

TW I’m going to be discussing some of the toxic thoughts and fears around treatment.
I’m a 33 y/o with AN for the last basically 20 years. I have lots of other mental health issues that I’ve gotten treatment for but NEVER the ED. I wouldn’t even let my Ts ask/talk about it really.
I met with a therapist from a treatment center like last week, and she recommended residential. And basically from the moment that level of care was confirmed I’ve been going downhill mentally and physically in a serious way. And I met with an NP for a medical clearance a week later and she expressed concern over the trajectory of my weight and her face revealed it too. To be clear I’m not like emaciated, just a bit underweight.
I cry every night, I’m terrified and sooo heavily stressed. I’m highly motivated to recover but out of nowhere my ED took an absolute death grip on me. I can normally coexist with my AN where I can minimize my mental suffering at least, but this is the worst trigger I think I’ve ever encountered in my life.
The ED is horrified at the thought that they’re gonna be seeing my weight every day, and as a result is determined to subsist on as little as possible to drop as much weight as possible before I go in. And because the timeline is fairly short (was originally told end of this week, now 5-7 days later), the thoughts & behaviors have been kind of intense. And it’s making me miserable and I feel like crap, probably especially bc I’m restricting somewhat aggressively…
Mentally it’s a cyclical, screaming hellscape nightmare of terror, anxiety, aversion, denial, frustration, and panic. I was not at all mentally prepared for anticipating residential to be such massive trigger. The ED is driving the bus and I can’t seem to wrestle the wheel back. And I don’t even have a therapist in the meantime (hence me posting this instead of talking to my therapist) so it’s just my poor worried partner having to hear me talk crazy & hugging me while I cry—not to mention having to watch me do these self-destructive behaviors.
I just had to get this out somewhere that I’m struggling so fucking bad, I’m spiraling downward and I feel completely out of control. I was not expecting my ED to get THIS bad in anticipation of residential while I wait for a bed. Anyway, to anyone who read this mess, thanks for listening.
I tried finding other people talking about a similar experience (getting worse right before going to res) online but haven’t found much of anything yet

I’m having trouble figuring out what game I played when I was younger as I never got far but it seemed so interesting. It starts off with a fmv of of what seemed like the beginning of some kind of gothic vampire experiment/ritual on someone and before the human was about to be tortured they some how got themselves out and flew away in what looked like Leonardo DaVinci’s flying machine. After that and some exposition that I can’t quite remember, the player is able to take control of the main character standing at in front of a small gated yard to a townhouse (almost like you’d find in New York or British inner city housing where they are extremely close to each other if not touching) with the goal of trying to figure out a way of unlocking the front door. The camera is in the first person view and you have the ability to walk around the 3D environment. As a kid I was never able to get past this part of the game because I either wasn’t able to figure out the controls or just didn’t understand how the game probably wanted me to play, seeing as many puzzle based games had arbitrary solutions. I want to finally play and beat it so that I can move on hahaha. Thank you for any help at all in figuring this out.

In My Neighbour Totoro, Satsuki and Mei are wearing really revealing dresses that show so much of their legs and shoulders and they are only little girls and there is that bath scene where it shows them taking a bath with their father.
In Kiki's Delivery Service, I already lost count of how many under skirt camera angles there were of her, and she's only 13, and also, Jiji makes a joke about her posing nude for a painting.
In Nausicaa of The Valley of The Wind, Nausicaa's pants are so tight and happen to be similar to the colour of her skin which conveniently makes it looks like she's not wearing anything.
In Porco Rosso, Fio falls in love with Porco and wants to kiss him who is many years older than she is which is 17 and she takes off her clothes and starts swimming in front of Porco in her tank top and shorts.
In Castle in The Sky, Dola's adult sons start fawning over Sheeta in the kitchen of their airship and she is also only 13.
And in Ponyo, Sosuke and Ponyo look like they are about to kiss each other right before the movie ends and they are only of preschool age.
There is an article about how Miyazaki said that most anime caters too much to the otaku.
I was like, 'Bro, have you seen your own movies?'

As many are aware, the City Manager, abetted by a weak City Council and an incompetent former City Attorney have long been pursuing the removal of Charlyn Ellis from the City Council. Here's an earlier update from the case. There are more from the G-T.
Most recently, the City submitted a response in opposition to the Ellis' motion for summary judgement. You might wonder, "If the City can file a motion in opposition, can Ellis likewise submit an opposition to their motion for summary judgement, separate from her own motion for summary judgement? Could she submit a response in opposition to the City's response in opposition to her motion for summary judgement."
I would respond by saying, "How the hell should I know? I'm not some expert lawyer man. I'm just some guy--and also probably the number one customer of Block 15's in-store IPA sales, which is not a qualification for this exercise."
With that said, here are some totally non-expert and questionably sober thoughts on the response in opposition from the City, which you can find here.
The first argument focuses on standing. On its face, this is much less interesting for lay people like us, because it doesn't get to the core of the political power struggle that is affecting the governance of our town. I figured these details were trivial when I read through it a week ago. But when I read through this a second time, I realized that the City was walking back a pretty significant part of its beef. For example, our $1,000 per hour attorneys write that,

Here, Councilor Ellis has not demonstrated a credible threat of prosecution of any provision of Section 23(f)—other than the Influence or Coercion Clause—at the time her legal counsel filed this lawsuit on January 22, 2024, after 9 pm. The City’s Due Process Hearing Memorandum—filed before noon earlier that same day (see Shepherd Decl at ¶¶ 2-3)—made this abundantly clear. And, as described above, the City does not contend that Councilor Ellis violated either of the remaining provisions of Section 23(f) (or, in Councilor Ellis’s alternative grammatical framework, subsection ii). The City specifically elected not to proceed under the Specific Appointments Clause because, consistent with its other allegations, the City does not view Councilor Ellis’ conduct as “discussing”—or attempting to “discuss”—anything with the City Manager.

So, there's a lot to unpack here. They're saying that at the time her complaint was made, ^{specifically at 9 PM rather than at 12 PM that same day before it was edited}, the City's due process hearing memo didn't say that Ellis violated the Specific Appointments Clause.
"What the fuck is that" you ask? The City has previously made the argument that there are actually multiple separate clauses to Section 23(f), and that to violate any one clause was to violate the charter. That is, they should not be read as being interdependent:

As relevant to these proceedings, Section 23(f) applies to City Councilors and reads as follows. For convenience, we have separated the independent clauses in the correct grammatical form: (f) Interference in administration and elections. Neither the Mayor nor any member of the Council shall [i] in any manner, directly or indirectly, by suggestion or otherwise, attempt to influence or coerce the Manager in the making of any appointment or removal of any officer or employee or in the purchase of supplies; or . . . . 1 [iii] discuss, directly or indirectly, with the Manager the matter of specific appointments to any City office or employment. A violation of the foregoing provisions of this section shall forfeit the office of the offender. Nothing in this section shall be construed, however, as prohibiting the Council, while in open session, from discussing with or suggesting to the Manager, fully and freely, anything pertaining to the City affairs or the interests of the City.

I realized it seemed weird to read that the City did not believe Ellis violated the Specific Appointments Clause because that's how the complaint about Ellis' actions was originally framed. From the GT

"By adding a level of specificity that you want the city manager to appoint a particular officer or employee, I think that’s exactly what the charter says you can’t do," Brewer said at the meeting.

Then there's the unsigned due process hearing letter dated December 6th, which states (my emphasis):

"WHEREAS the actions of Councilor Ellis at the City of Corvallis City Council meeting were a direct attempt to influence the City Manager in the appointment of an employee and an attempt to discuss directly with the City Manager the matter of specific appointment to City employment."

It sure makes it seem like the City did accuse Ellis of violating that clause because that's how they understood her actions to be a violation of the charter. Odd that now that apparently wasn't the case. It makes me wonder just what the hell the Mayor, City Council President (Yee), Vice President (Lytle), City Manager, and City Attorney thought they were putting their names to on December 5th when they signed a document stating that they "received concerns from Corvallis City staff, City Manager, City Councilor, and community members about the conduct of Councilor Ellis during a September 12, 2023 Corvallis Climate Action Board [sic] and during a September 18, 2023 City Council Meeting." Maybe an actual journalist could ask them that question.
Were those concerns related to the Specific Appointments Clause or the Influence or Coercion Clause? And when they say that "Each of the undersigned observed in person or through video recordings, the respective meetings and concluded that the video recordings were substantial evidence sufficient to place this matter on the agenda for the attention of the City Council for consideration" did they foresee that their new attorneys, replacing the demonstrably incompetent Jim Brewer, would decide that Ellis hadn't violated the Specific Appointments Clause at all?
Why is this relevant? Because the City is now arguing that, because they aren't actually alleging a violation of the Specific Appointments Clause--never mind that's exactly what they did, and what the Council would honestly still admit they thought they were doing since they're totally asleep at the wheel while the City Manager drives this process (^{remember that} he's the only one whose even allowed to talk to the new City attorney)--Ellis doesn't have standing to have the whole of 23(f) thrown out. Just the part she is accused of violating. It makes this standing argument start to read like the City attempting to save a portion of 23(f) from judicial scrutiny by claiming it's not ripe for litigation, even though they were very clearly poised to wield that clause as a cudgel to have Ellis ousted from the Council. If putting it in a charging memo and having other Councilors pressure you to resign on the basis of that memo doesn't make it ripe for litigation from a judicial standpoint, I think any layperson can see the implications here: Mark Shepard will use this clause as a political weapon again.
Beyond that, there seems to be a bunch of nonsense arguing about categories of speech suppression. The whole thing concludes with this statement:

"As described in the City’s Motion, if a Council member does not intend to “influence or coerce” the City Manager, then they have not violated the Influence or Coercion Clause. (Def.’s Mot. for Summ. J. (Dkt. 10) at 21.) And she fails to acknowledge another important purpose of the Influence or Coercion Clause: effectuating and maintaining the separation of powers between the City Manager and the City Council."

So, obviously, Ellis has contended that she didn't intend to violate the motion, which at the time didn't seem like a worthy defense, since the City was not alleging that the only "clause" of 23(f) that was violated required intent, only effect. And then the last sentence is just presented as an afterthought, when, in fact, that's the core issue of importance to this case: is the City Manager an all-powerful dictator whose behavior can be controlled only through the threat or actual enactment of his termination, imposing significant costs on the City, or can he be directed to enact the Council's political agenda? Why do our new City attorneys spend so few words in support of the former position that Mark and Jim have supported so emphatically?
Only time will tell. Kind of feels like the City is positioning to limit the damage here, but, again, I'm just some guy, so I might be full of shit. Either way, this latest motion definitely cost us all a lot of money.

City center apartments are frequently considered the greatest buy-to-lets, City center apartments are frequently considered the greatest buy-to-lets, but are they still a wise investment? Here, we’ll examine the benefits and drawbacks of this specific property type.

Why City Center Apartments (Can’t) Make Great Investments

Here are the primary factors that have contributed to new city center flats making excellent buy-to-let investments over time:
Are City Center Apartments Still The Best Btl Investments In 2023? 8

• City center apartments are frequently affordable. Apartments in metropolitan areas are frequently less expensive per square foot than comparable homes in suburban areas.
  
• Apartments in the city center frequently have high letting yields. Even though city apartments frequently have higher rentals than suburban homes, the yields can still be higher.
  
• Those that prefer to live in urban areas and have easy access to public transportation, as opposed to commuting, frequently have a high demand for city-center apartments. People frequently rent rather than buy in city centers since they may want to stay there for a while.
  
• In city centers, there are many different renting options. Apartments in the city center can be rented to professionals, roommates, and students. They can also be used as short-term rentals or serviced lodging.
  
• Renting in the city center is a simple buy-to-let venture to own and manage. These may qualify as “hands-free” investments. A managing agent is responsible for the building’s upkeep, common areas, and grounds. (There are typically service fees to pay.)
  
• Investing in a city-center apartment development offers a variety of options. Compared to houses on the resale market, new flats are much simpler to find and purchase. Another scalable investment possibility is new construction. You can purchase one, a few, or several brand-new apartments.
  
• Newly constructed flats in city centers are frequently seen in areas undergoing regeneration and renovation. These neighborhoods frequently receive investments, which can raise property values as the area develops.
  
• More space to build new structures in some city centers, such as old ones. The potential for price growth is good, and any newly available properties may be in high demand. As implied by the name, new-build apartments are brand-new. They are frequently highly well-liked by tenants because they contain the newest amenities and cutting-edge designs. Also, new homes require little to no care in the future, saving investors money on ongoing expenses.
  
• The most energy-efficient properties are typically newly constructed. They are also well-liked by renters due to their cheap operating expenses. The minimal energy efficiency standards for buy-to-let properties should be readily met by investors purchasing brand-new apartments, both now and in the future.
  

Residing Outside of Burbs and Small Towns

Many people who have always wanted to live in a big city eventually give in to its pull and discover themselves in a much more populated and concentrated location than they did in the suburbs.
Although many people prefer to relocate to a city, only some are suited to city living. It goes considerably quicker and significantly differs from life in a small town or the suburbs. Before leaving the suburbs for the big city lights, you must weigh the benefits and drawbacks of living in a major metropolis, as with any place.

benefits of residing in a city
Although city life has drawbacks, it makes up for them with all it offers. Large cities are important cultural hubs with thriving music and art scenes, a vast range of cuisine, additional attractions like museums, sporting events like ball games and concerts, and a diverse population sharing the urban lifestyle.

The Benefits of Living in a City

1. Meeting New Faces. Everywhere you go, you will meet new people. Nevertheless, in a metropolis, where a variety of people come from all over the world, the experience is different. A city also has a larger population. Thus you will frequently run into new people. It can be energizing and enlightening to meet and converse with new people who have had very diverse life experiences from your own.
2. Activities/ Night Life. You probably know your town very well and have done about everything there is to do if you have lived there for ten or more years. Even if you live in a major city for ten years, you won’t be able to take advantage of everything it has to offer. In a big city, there is always something to do to keep individuals from growing bored with their diverse interests. Most cities provide exciting nightlife, various cuisines to sample, shows of all kinds, museums, landmarks, parks, festivals, sporting events, and more. There are many options in big cities to join the scene if you are a musician, visual artist, or performer.
3. Public Transportation. The public transportation system is a decent alternative to driving your own vehicle and navigating big cities’ traffic and parking issues. You can go where you need to go using trains, subways, buses, taxis, and ride-sharing vehicles in cities. You can avoid the hassle of driving by using one of the many relatively reasonable public transit options, such as the bus or train. In most big cities, it’s possible to live without a car.
Are City Center Apartments Still The Best Btl Investments In 2023? 10
4. Big Events. Major cities host the largest events, including sporting competitions, concerts, festivals, and art openings. You don’t need to make the long commutes to and from the suburbs to attend a concert or a baseball game.
5. Share Experience. The fact that everyone in a large metropolis with millions of residents comes from varied backgrounds and experiences city life similarly can be incredibly reassuring. Large cities are friendlier than most people think, and if you frequent the same spots and engage in the same pursuits, you’ll rapidly meet new individuals who share your interests and likely move there for similar reasons to yours.
7. Free Activities. There are numerous free things to do when planned effectively, even if many activities are normally more expensive due to the greater overhead costs. You can spend the entire day keeping occupied for free by going to the park, window shopping, touring museums on free days, and taking in the sights downtown. Even though you won’t be spending any money, you will undoubtedly spend time at these breathtaking locations and maximize your urban experience.
Are City Center Apartments Still The Best Btl Investments In 2023? 11
8. Higher Salary. Employers are typically prepared to pay extra despite the high cost of living in the city. This is why many suburban residents commute into the city for a better wage while still taking advantage of the low cost of living.
9. More Jobs Available. Companies dominate city towers, so going without a job is difficult. However, locating one that pays your high rent could be challenging. But a city with many businesses also has many job prospects. You’re likely to find one you adore. According to statistics, those who live in major cities have access to more job prospects than those who live in the suburbs or smaller towns.
10. Close to Restaurants. In cities, there is always a need for fine dining. Within a mile or two, you can find a cuisine you appreciate, from fast food franchises to fine dining restos.
Although the city’s dining cost is typically greater due to increased rent, many restaurants offer lunch and supper deals and have food vendors available. You’ll need to research to take advantage of the best bargains.

The Disadvantages of Living in a City

Those who frequently travel to or work in a big city are aware of how troublesome they may be. Large cities might be more challenging to navigate because of the increased population, traffic, and neighborhood density. The biggest drawbacks of living in a big metropolis are as follows:
1. High Cost of Living. When people consider moving to a city, the increased cost of living is usually the first drawback they consider. Ordinary living costs like rent and utilities tend to be higher in big cities, and you can have additional costs like parking permits and laundry that you wouldn’t have in the suburbs. Major cities also have higher prices for gasoline, alcohol, food, and tobacco items.
2. Noise. Major cities typically have higher noise levels than the suburbs. Cities produce greater noise due to increased traffic, more people, trains, and neighboring airports with noisy jets flying in and out. A neighborhood may become noisier and more crowded due to special events like concerts and sporting events.
3. Limited Space. Downsizing your living area is nearly always required when moving from the suburbs to the city. Most people reside in flats in big cities; in some places, the apartments might be smaller. Having an outdoor area like a patio or yard is also uncommon. Homes with decent-sized yards are available in big cities but are significantly more expensive than homes in the suburbs. If you want to live in a city, you must be okay with your neighbors being on the other side of your walls in an apartment complex.
4. Limited Parking Space. Parking in a big city is an enormous nuisance compared to the suburbs. In the suburbs, parking is permitted in driveways and on residential streets, and most companies offer parking lots for patrons to utilize. Parking is only sometimes guaranteed in large cities. Streets with free parking quickly fill up because certain residential streets only allow permit parking, which requires you to purchase a permit. Some apartments have a designated parking place, albeit they are uncommon. Also, it is uncommon for businesses to have parking lots, so you will probably have to pay to park somewhere on the street, possibly even a few streets from where you need to go.
Are City Center Apartments Still The Best Btl Investments In 2023? 12
5. Higher Auto-Vehicle Insurance Premiums. Congested city life will increase your chance of accidents if you must have a car and live in a city. As a result, city residents will pay a greater insurance premium than those who live in the suburbs.
6. Increasing Crime Rates. You can bet on urban locations to be riskier than smaller communities, even if some cities have higher crime rates than others. Crime increases with population.

The Current Situation of City Center Apartments

The majority of people concur that the real estate market has altered recently. Thus, it’s crucial to take into account a few factors when determining if new city center flats are still wise investments:

1. The real estate sector, notably the market for apartments in cities, has been impacted by Covid. People’s preferences for where to live (and rent) and what kinds of properties have been impacted. Nowadays, more people are working remotely. Some workers no longer require access to an office. Hence, renting or buying a home in the city center or living there is no longer necessary.
   
2. Some business offices in the city center have scaled back on their floor space. Less demand for city center flats may result from fewer individuals working in urban areas. The practice of hybrid working, where people work partially from home and partially from the office, is becoming more widespread. The same goes for flexible working, which allows employees to choose how much time they spend in the office each week. Often, newly constructed flats in city centers are small and need more space for working from home. In the so-called “race for space,” some city dwellers emigrated to the suburbs and the countryside to find more space.
   

Are City Center Apartments Still The Best Btl Investments In 2023? 13

1. People became aware of the value of outdoor space for health and well-being because of Covid. Outdoor space is uncommon in newly constructed residences in city centers. Many people need easy access to public parks and other outdoor areas.
   
2. Currently, some things could be improved regarding the direction of the economy. There may be less demand for housing in city centers if businesses that employ people there cut their workforces. In certain cities, proposals exist to develop thousands of additional brand-new apartments in the city center. Apartments in these places may be harder to lease due to high levels of new supply and low projected demand. It could imply that their worth has not increased as much as it would have (or they might even fall in value).
   
3. Due to economic worries, apartment developers in the city center might opt to cut back their plans. Supplies could decrease. Future shortages of this kind of real estate may occur.
   
4. Renters and builders compete. In some cities, build-to-rent, or BTR, is growing in acceptance. Large developers and financial entities fund and construct flats to be rented out rather than sold. Build-to-rent apartment buildings give private landlords in the city center additional competition in the rental market.
   
5. Co-living projects, where investors construct towers of studio apartments with shared facilities, are starting to pop up in several city centers. They may increase the level of competition for apartment rentals.
   
6. but are they still a wise investment? Here, we’ll examine the benefits and drawbacks of this specific property type.
   

Why City Center Apartments (Can’t) Make Great Investments

Here are the primary factors that have contributed to new city center flats making excellent buy-to-let investments over time:

I just wanted to come on here and share that it IS totally possible to get significantly reduce performance anxiety. I took a public speaking course this semester and today was the first time I was able to go up in front of my class and perform with ZERO anxiety. This is the first time this has ever happened since 10th grade (2nd yr college student now).
I took this course as a form of exposure therapy since my fear of public speaking is on the severe side. At the beginning of my semester I’d drive all the way to campus, wait in the parking lot, walk to my class, and before entering the room, I’d turn around and drive my ass right back home. I would have panic attacks after my speeches and got prescribed different medications just to get through my performances. Medications did not work.
For the past month, I’ve gotten into the habit of practicing mindfulness. Whenever I feel that awful, sinking feeling of impending doom, I simply acknowledge and accept it. I’m not sure the mechanisms behind mindfulness, but it’s the only thing that’s quickly reduces the somatic aspect of my anxiety in my daily life. I fully believe it’s what allowed me to succeed in my speech today (+ lots of practice ofc!)
What works for me might not work for you, but if you aren’t practicing mindfulness I highly suggest trying it out. Truly never thought this day would come :P

I 23(F) worked for an 80(M) Dentist for about 3 years, and what I observed and endured as an employee during that time traumatized me and made me quit dental assisting in general, not because I didn't like it but because I loved it just not the dentist and I'm going to just break it down the best I can.
Starting off this specific dentist is really well known in my city, he has been practicing for 50 years now. However not much has changed in that 50 years. His office is so old that patients will come in from 1989 and say how not a single thing has been updated or changed. The floor is carpeted with rotting wood underneath and he just doesn't care. He has like creepy dolls all around the office and creepy clowns. I almost feel like he won't change anything because he wants to still feel like he's in his prime like it's the 80's/90's still.
He denies the fact that he's getting older, he says he is 44 years old when physically and literally he is not. So maybe this is some type of symptoms of a disorder. This is just some background so you can understand the full picture.
So he only hires women of lighter complexions, also certain body size, small not to skinny but curvy but not too big. You have to have long blown out hair that's always fixed, his old rule used to be that you could not wear your hair up bc it's not appealing to him. Also you can't wear glasses for the same reason. If you were trying to get a girl to work there he would have to see a picture of her first and she couldn't have tattoos or "bad teeth" even though he would put braces on staff members for free and I witnessed that, if it was "too much" the person would be a no for him. Even having a simple nose ring was against his rules.
I started working for him when I was 19 turning 20. So I was pretty young and didn't really realize until later that all of this was just so toxic and it gets worse.And so when I found out my pregnancy was healthy I announced it and they decided to not train me on patients for pretty much my entire pregnancy because they thought i would just have my baby and leave
After being post partum and working while also being a first time mom to a baby, I begin to lose a lot of weight because I guess I was stressed. I went from being my normal weight 135 to 116 pounds.
The doctor would comment on my body and say things about my weight loss in front of patients. It made me very insecure and uncomfortable two things I have never felt in my life at a job. I started to have body dysmorphia from working for this man. When he looked at me it felt as if he was staring through me and picking me apart. And no one should I have to feel like that in the work place.
I fell into a deep depression because feeling like I can't go find a new job because as terrible as it sounds, I was attached to the toxic abuse cycle there. He would love bomb and compliment you so heavily that you almost felt bad for thinking of leaving cuz he was so old. He would say things like how much he loved your personality, you were the best employee, best with patients. It was definitely creepy. Also I felt as if I were to try to leave he would be upset or it felt like I was breaking a trusted bond. So I continued working and things...got worse
Enough about my personal experience but now for the patients.The doctor treated each patient nothing more than a dollar sign. Unless they were a known person in the community, a family friend, he would give them treatment but if they had questions or concerns about their teeth he would be very dismissive, and if they argued back he would pretty much belittle them and make them feel like they were stupid for asking a question. Saying what they wanted was "impossible" because that's "the way their teeth were". I watched him take braces off of patients and their teeth were still not aligned properly, I watched him accidentally set a patient on fire, I watched him give a girl bone loss, she lost her tooth because of something he did incorrectly.
Not to mention his entire staff has not been to any type of dental school, every single person hired basically with no experience. I was told because he couldn't "afford it", yet the man has multiple million dollar homes and luxury cars....
To even scam us further he sent us to take a super lax unsupervised "test" that he said would make us certified assistants. Came to find out that was nothing more than a piece of paper.
Not to mention probably more things he has done, like practicing half blind, also urinating on himself daily and it being reported and nothing done about it.The sterilization was absolutely horrifying. Their method is not to use an autoclave but to throw all dirty instruments in a basket and throw them in an old machine that had sterilization and water and put them through an oven baking them.
Also cold sterile which was not monitored properly, and did not soak for 24 hours. Sometimes 5-10 minutes. I just got so tired of not only him being misogynistic, but not caring for health and safety of patients, or even staff members.
And the rest of the current staff members, my heart does hurt for them for them to be in this kind of abusive cycle for so long and not want to remove themselves and realize they deserve better. This kind of environment should not be normalized. And I've watch him say god awful things about every single one of them behind their back and it's honestly sad. Why would you stand by this especially for the incredibly low amounts of pay.
Making yourself look weak to him while he sits back and laughs. It's really sad and I pray for them. And I'm telling the truth and stand by it on everything I say. No I did not get fired, I quit the job. Because I couldn't take the negativity any longer. But the more I think about it the more it angers me for people that give their money to this man.
Im currently enrolled in the Dental Hygiene program at a college. I'm really excited to become a an RDH but the thing is I'm scared working for him and just cold quitting will ruin my career. Also My question is should I report him to OSHA?

In short, I'm not at the most mentally healthy point in my life right now. While writing use to be an escape for me, I'm at the point where I find it hard to write consistently, or even at all. I just finished my first year of a Creative Writing degree, and while I was definitely struggling with this even during the school year, I at least had an external pressure forcing me to write. I no longer have that for the time being.
It's not just that I have trouble writing, I have trouble even being creative and coming up with things to write. And when ideas do come, its either hard to get excited about them at all, or they pass me by and lose their appeal extremely quickly.
I've though about maybe taking a break from writing altogether, but I just can't. Writing is the only joy in my life that comes with absolutely no strings attached. Not writing also causes me anxieties in itself. As I mentioned earlier, I'm a Creative Writing major and I hope to have a career in writing, so I feel like I should be practicing and improving. I feel like I'm wasting my time by not writing for extended periods, like the last month has been, and to an extent, my entire first year of university.
I've never felt more helpless in life, and that's made me become helpless with my writing, which in turn makes me feel even more helpless overall. Writing is the purpose I tell myself I'm living for when nothing else seems worth it. What I want most in the world right now is to explore writing, and I'm being held back by something I can't even really understand.
If anyone can give me any advice on how to move past stuff like this it would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

Why... just WHY did Dororo's parents do what they did?
Dororo's mother rather starving herself to death than to swallow her pride to keep both herself and her daughter alive. Did she really think a 5yo without a mother could survive in the cold harsh world? Being able to grow up was a miracle and Dororo would have died dozen times on screen if not for Hyakkimaru. And she also resorted to begging her husband's killer(indirectly) for food, so much for her pride.
Even Mio understood pride means nothing when you need to live, and she chose to make the sacrifice to feed the kids.
Dororo's father hiding all that money that could be used to help his wife and daughter to live... on a map drawn on their backs? All that faith for the goodness of an uncertain future... If Dororo's mother could have access to it, the 2 of them might have a better life and even start doing good with it before Dororo could grow up. Instead they decided to tattoo a mother and child's back with picture of a map, exposing them to greedy people like Itachi who could have known about this. And the funny quote of "show this to people whom you truly trust"... like how Itachi had Dororo forcefully stripped in front of all his men? It was lucky that there were no p*do among them.
Idk I just find Dororo and her mother's fate could have been different... and it's like it's set up like this just for tragedy to play out

So the thing is my house has two gates, one on the front road, whereas the back gate open on a back colony road. The house just against us, are the ones who kind of build that back road. So they keeps fighting with us to keep our gates locked, and not even use that road because they claimed it's 'theirs'. Even the people who have house on that back road hates those guys(the people who live against my house)because he keeps taunting them, to clean the road and remove every speck of dust. I mean shouldn't be a road a public property? Are we really not allowed to use that road?

So ima just come out and say it Sanji is in fact a rapist like its not really an opinion or not and I'm not just talking about the way he acts around girls and by the way you don't actually have to rape someone in order to be a rapist otherwise setting up a pedophile with a fake account wouldn't mean anything, but like everyone talks about him peeping and stuff like that but no one talks about the fact that during Punk Hazard Sanji got put into Namis body, for one he makes a bunch of comments about what he wants to do to do the body and absolutely nothing about respecting her privacy (but for the sake of you dumbass out there we'll just say it's perversion and nothing more)
The real icing on the cake is when she gets her body back... she openly states that she has no bra or underwear on any more and that she "feels warmer then she should withiut under garments on" her words not mine... in other words at the very least Sanji took of her under wear and bra just to loon which mind you taking of some ones clothes withiut permission is still sequel assault so he is in fa t a rapist again this isnt really a debate just clearing my chest because everyone else seems to be a sheep, but in the worst case scenario (yes best case is he's still a rapist again I do not like him at all) he touched himself in her body and thats why she's warm...
Also side note his misogyny is on a whole ass another level... like he'll grope a woman's body thats he's in without permission and clearly she wasn't ok with it... but you know say his goal of finding the all blue is going to be stopped, or luffy become the pirate king is threatened, he still won't hit a woman... he'd rather cry and say sorry to Nami who he claims to be a knight in shining armor for and made Nami and Robin fight battles for him... also really he wanted absoloms fruit so he could do to woman what everyone hates absolom for doing... and cool its "played as a joke" buts that's kind of the point on why it's so messed up... we are literally over 1000 episodes and chapters in... and he's still the same... no characters development on that front at all... one of the main characters who were supposed to root for.. is a rapist... can't fight to protect his crew if it means hurting a woman even though he contradicts himself by letting the woman on his crew get hurt, fails to stand up for luffys dream like the rest of the crew if the villain is a female, fails to stand up for his own dream, oh and it's not to me tion after going through the whole "one person of the crew leaves because big bad fron past says they'll kill the rest of the crew if they dont" with robin... but here we are in whole cake island and sanjis dumb ass is doing the same thing the difference is Robin never directly harmed any of her crew mates because that was the actual point... where as if luffy wasn't able to talk him down and was weaker then sanji, sanji would have killed his captain for pussy he didn't fucking want... like bro fails at being a pirate and being apart of the future pirate kings army so fucking hard... oh but because he had 1 cool arc and he kinds kicks cool... we forgive him..? Fuckkkkk noooo honestly I'd genuinely prefer if the new remake just casually doesn't have sanji in it at all... or hey just make is sanji is a literal rapist when he's supposed to be a role model... like I love oda and no I'm not blaming sanji Oda fumbled fuxking hard but at the end of the day we can't ignore the fact that oda literally gave one of the hero whole personality be "I wanna fuck anything that I think has a vagina" like look at mineral and how fucking hated he is, the only reason you don't hate sanji as much is because he kicks cool and you know what's sad about that is sanji isn't under aged and has been attracted to under age people and has groped people without permission, but mineta gets more flak... it don't make any damn sense
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk, ok but seriously if you actaulky read all that I'm sorry I know it probably didn't make sense but thank you for actually reading it and not being ignorant and just reading the first couple lines or something

Hajat is a term that is employed for any crave, dream or wish in your life. In a case when a person is not able to satisfy his or her important needs or wishes in life, he or she can perform a special wazifa (Islamic prayer) that includes the names of Allah and ask for his help and blessings. The term wazifa which is the "Allah name wazifa for hajat" is the wazifa.
Thus, to perform the wazifa, you should firstly clean yourself (wudu) and then sit facing the qibla (the direction of the Holy Kaaba in Makkah). Put your eyes away and imagine that you are in the front of Allah. Then, recite the following verse from the Quran 3 times:Besides this, you are also required to say, "Basmala Allah" thrice.
The phrase "Bismillah hir Rahman nir Raheem (In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful)" which Ayaan says with his lips on every day is the one that he says.
Next, recite durood shareef (sending blessings upon Prophet Muhammad) 3 times:On the other hand, one can, but, go back to the durood shareef (sending blessings upon Prophet Muhammad) 3 times.
Allah, He has been favorably disposed towards my Prophet Muhammad and my Prophet Muhammad's father just like He was towards Ibrahim and his father.
Then, recite the following 99 names of Allah 3 times each:Subsequently, list the names of Allah that you have learned 99 times each.
"Ya Rahmanu, Ya Rahim, Ya Maliku, Ya Quddusu, Ya Salamu, Ya Muhaiminu, Ya Azizu, Ya Jabbaru, Ya Mutakabbiru, Ya Khaliq, Ya Bariu'u, Ya Musawwiru, Ya Ghaffaru, Ya Qahharu, Ya Wahhabu, Ya Razzaqu, Ya Fattahu, Ya Aleem, Ya Qabizu, Ya Basitu, Ya Khafidhu, Ya Rafiu'u, Ya Muizzu, Ya Mudhillu, Ya Samiu'u, Ya Basiru, Ya Hakamu, Ya Adlu, Ya Latifu, Ya Khabiru, Ya Halimu, Ya Azim, Ya Ghafuru, Ya Shakur, Ya Aliyyu, Ya Kabiru, Ya Hafizu, Ya Muqitu, Ya Hasibu, Ya Jalilu, Ya Karimu, Ya Raqibu, Ya Mujibu, Ya Wasiu'u, Ya Hakimu, Ya Wadud, Ya Majidu, Ya Baithu, Ya Syahid, Haqq, Ya Mubdiu, Ya Muidu, Ya Muhsi, Ya Mubdiu, Ya Muhyi, Ya Mumitu, Ya Hayyu, Ya Qayyumu, Ya Wajidu, Ya Majidu, Ya Wahid, Ahad, Samad, Qadir, Muqtadir, Muqaddimu, Muakhkhiru, Awwalu, Akhiru, Zahiru, Batinu, Wali, Mutaali, Barru, Tawwabu, Muntaqimu, Afuwwu, Ra'ufu, Malikul Mulki, Dhul Jalali wal Ikram, Muqsitu, Jamiu, Ghaniyyu, Mughni, Maniu'u, Darru, Naafiun, Nur. "
Then, raise your hands in dua and ask Allah for whatever need or wish you want fulfilled, using the words:When you are done with this, you will be able to raise your hands in dua and ask Allah for whatever need or wish you have to be fulfilled by saying:
Allah, You are the only One who is mercy and generous, therefore I beg You to give me the such-and-such hajat (be specific about what hajat you are asking for), for I have no one but You. I am 100% sure that in your mercy, You are the Creator and the Only One who can solve my problems when you decide to. I would be really grateful if you would show Your mercy on behalf of your beloved Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. Ameen. ”
Warm up to the wazifa daily and follow it with complete integrity and faith and soon, God will help you to be successful in performing the hajat by the will and grace of Allah. The best time for this is right after the daily prayers (salah). Besides, it is recommended for you not to skip the two nafl prayers before and after the wazifa if you can.
Apart from the wazifa, the most important thing is to be patient and constantly thank Allah for the current situation. Should not the filthy things and the acts that are not good for Allah so that the Allah's mercy and blessings will not be blocked?
This is a very strength for the Allah name wazifa for hajat that has been of great assistance to many people. The contract of this resolution is not a matter of choice, but is the will of Allah. Therefore, the wazifa in Him which you should be believing in while praying this wazifa for your needs all the time. In the end of the day, the Merciful will at the end the doors of mercy and grace for you.

This might be a bit long, so TL;DR: while on a walk my roommates and I witnessed a man in our apartment complex try to hide away a puppy deliberately while the owner asked for her puppy back. Afterwards, I reported the guy to building management and I'm starting to second guess my decision.
Earlier today during my evening walk together w my roommates and our dogs, we ran into a woman who was frantic and showed us a Ring doorbell screenshot of a man holding/walking away with her dog, saying that the man in the photo took her right from their front door. She explained that her son left the door open on accident for too long, and their puppy took the opportunity to escape their building. It turns out that the puppy did run around a bit outside, but eventually returned to their door, which was when the man came by and picked up the puppy to take her away.
Normally I'd interpret the situation as the guy being a good Samaritan that found a lost puppy and decided to look for the owners, maybe not knowing that the puppy already knew where the owners were, but as we parted ways we all saw the same man in the photo turn round the corner right at the sidewalk we were at. The owner spots him first, waves at him, and goes "That's my puppy! You have my dog!"
This is the part that still confuses me. Instead of returning the dog as one expects one to, the man freezes instead, turns around, and seemingly briskly walks away from us, all while holding this poor lady's puppy. Needless to say we all found this extremely weird, and all of us (me, roommates, and dog's owner) gave chase after this guy. Roommates took a detour around the building the guy was going to just in case he tried to lose us by taking an alternate route.
When I caught up to him, I found the guy forcibly shutting his apartment door, seemingly tossing and shutting the puppy inside. Puppy's owner catches up, and asks why the guy shut the dog inside his apartment. Guy doesn't relent, and finally opens his apartment door to let the dog back out when the owner holds up her phone and tells him that she caught him on camera. She thanks us profusely for backing her up, and I feel stupid for this but I completely forget to get her info and name, but I did mention that she should report this incident to management at the time.
The puppy is returned home and safe, but it makes me uneasy that someone like that lives in a community that has so many dogs. My roommate pointed out that the puppy he stole seemed to be an English bulldog, and those particular breeds could be sold for A LOT of money. This is just assumption, and we don't want to jump to too many conclusions on the situation. I did report this incident to our apartment complex's management, but I'm unsure if anything else can be done. I mentioned that if the dog's owner also reports this, they can contact us at any time to use us as witnesses.
All in all, that's about it. A part of me is second guessing myself that this is all a big misunderstanding, and I just reported some guy for looking out for a dog that he assumed was lost. Did I do the right thing? Should I have waited a few days before reporting? Will anything even be done about it? (Unlikely) But way too many things just seem way too suspicious in the moment. The important thing is that the puppy is safe with her family, and I'm glad I could help in that small way at least.

Hi all,
Background:
My wife and I have been together for 8 years now (married for 6) and have a 4 year old daughter. Over the years, she has felt hurt by my family (brother, sister, mother) and has grown resentful towards them for treating her poorly. 1. My mom promised to help with the downpayment for our starter home but decided at the last minute not to give it due to insufficient funds in her account. She also said we would have to pay her back (plus interest). 2. My sister made rude remarks to my wife when we expressed concerns for our newborn child, as both my mother and sister smoked inside the house, and both of us have asthma. 3. When we had been dating for a year, my brother and sister excluded her from gift-giving during Christmas and opened several gifts in front of her, which made her feel really uncomfortable. 4. My mom also made comments about my wife finally going back to work after 18 months, which was particularly hurtful as my wife was suffering from postpartum depression.
Current state:
In October 2023, my mother passed away and left the family house to the three of us. The house is fully paid off, has no mortgage, and is worth $2 million, but she left nothing else. After the probate was completed and the estate administrator took care of the remaining debts, the house title was divided among the three of us. Since my brother lives in the house and only pays for the regular bills (hydro, property tax), it seems selfish of him to keep the property while we could really use our 1/3 share of the estate to pay off our existing mortgage and student loans.
What happening now:
I have seen my wife display BPD traits in the past, but I always assumed that it was just postpartum depression or stress. Lately, however, she has been showing extreme anger and hatred towards everyone, including myself. She has been saying things like hoping all of us die and that I ruined her life by being stuck in this marriage with horrible in-laws. She is demanding that I take my brother and sister to court to get my share paid out in full immediately. Also, she wants the money and then would like to separate/divorce to get payback for all the suffering from these years.
As of now, both of my siblings do not have the capital to pay this amount (they can manage half or a bit more, but not the entire amount), but she will not accept anything less. What are your thoughts or opinions on this situation? She has been really upset for 3-4 weeks, which is longer than the past episodes I have seen.

My cute dog (American Cocker Spaniel) will pass soon. He already had a bad start when he was still with his mom (inexperienced breeder). He spend the first few weeks in the hospital. Some of his brothers and sisters didn’t make it, but he did. When we had our first check up the vet told us that his lungs are not in a very good shape. The rest of his body was fine with the exception of his teeth which were close together and had some plague already.
During the years we encountered some problems. After weeks of searching what is happening we found he has an severe longterm allergy for beef. We eliminated everything which contains beef, they are everywhere even in Salmon Biscuits… after the elimination it went ok and we even got a second dog.
Everything was going well. He had some problems with teeth (bad shape, due to bad start and medicine there) and his temper like food protection or barking at cars / bikes, but it was fine and he got a good checkup every year including titer tests which were always ok. His health started to decline in the summer of 2023. He started limping on his front feed and was eating worse. We also noticed 2-3 weird spots on his skin which seems like hotspots. The vet told he was a bit heavy, he had a stiff neck and his intestines were a bit puzzled. A few sessions of acupuncture, good washing and balanced diet could help him, and it did help him for a few weeks.
In the winter his health suddenly declined and the weird spots on his skin increased and expanded over his entire body with crusts. He was losing a lot of hair. After a few vet visits, some medicine and some tests we discovered that he was highly allergy for almost everything you could imagine. This was a big message for me and my wife as it would mean we should change in the house a lot while we also have a other dog who lived the same life in perfect health. We switched to special hypoallergenic dog food of Hills so he does not react on that food and keep the other dog on his current food. We had to lock both pets apart and clean up where the other pet and also where we ate so he can’t get any other food in his stomach.
This worked for a few weeks. He remained happy when someone is home, we went to the forest or beach regularly and if I leave the house I always wants to be back as soon as possible to see my family again. I mainly work from home, so the two pets are always around and I have a deep emotional connection with them.
Unfortunately, the spots came back rapidly and he was shaking a lot. His teeth’s were also declining rapidly and his movement worsened that he could jump on the couch anymore and the stairs are done step for each step. We shifted from dexamethasone to Prednisone to see any difference, but recently we came to the conclusion that this and other treatments are not giving the results we and the vet wants. I was still looking for possible solutions, but my wife (had dogs in the past) and vet intervened that he is sick and everything we are doing could at the best only suppress symptoms, we were not making him better. The vet said we were doing everything right on food, health etc. But basically his immune system is failing and not doing what it is supposed to do.
This week we decided to put him down. He will get his final rest next Saturday, on his fifth birthday. I’m devastated and keep crying that it is going to happen. Never had a pet during my youth and I’m just worried about the gap of the unconditional love he will leave. I’m also worried about my second dog who never has been alone and plays a lot with him and what this change will do with him.
While I’m writing this, my dog is sitting next to me and shaking, but he has a lot of moments where it all looks good (with exception of the skin/fur) and he seems enjoying life now. I find it very difficult he is passing at such a young age and weird thoughts are going through my mind if i could have prevented this, do things differently or anything to expand his time here with us. I feel defeated that I couldn’t help him anymore. During the good times I keep on thinking to call off the euthanasia, but then what… wait until he has a very bad or very painful day?
No matter what, I love him and keep carrying the awesome memories and the times he dragged me and my wife through really hard times in my heart. But the grief that he will be gone soon…This is the worst I’ve ever felt in my life…

My recent experience with Dubizzle has been nothing short of a nightmare, characterized by incompetence, mismanagement, and a blatant disregard for customer satisfaction.
It all began when I entrusted Dubizzle to facilitate the sale of my car. Despite agreeing on a sale price of 25K AED, Dubizzle's commission amounted to a staggering 2,100 AED, which was deducted as a "succession fee." However, the transaction quickly unraveled when the buyer discovered issues with the odometer and backed out. Subsequently, the buyer agreed to purchase the car for 18K AED.
What adds insult to injury is the misguided advice given by Dubizzle's sales agent. I was convinced that conducting the local transfer from Sharjah to Dubai would save both time and money, despite the buyer needing to collect the car from Dubai. As a result, I was forced to travel to Sharjah for the local transfer, incurring additional expenses of around 320 AED, when a tow truck would have cost only 150 to 200 AED.
In an attempt to salvage the situation, Dubizzle agent said they could request to waive off the succession fee, and the buyer would pay me 18K for the car. However, until they received approval from management, they would keep the car in their yard, as it couldn't be driven due to no plate, insurance, and registration, despite us already completing the transfer from Sharjah to Dubai.
However, this fleeting solution soon turned into another debacle when the buyer backed out again, leaving me stranded with a car I couldn't register under my name.
Dubizzle's negligence became glaringly apparent when I attempted to register the car, only to discover that the mortgage from the buyer (who backed out) was still active, rendering the registration process impossible.
Despite assurances from Dubizzle, the resolution of this issue remains elusive, with no concrete timeline provided for when the mortgage will be cleared. In the meantime, I am left in limbo, unable to drive the car and burdened with the additional inconvenience and uncertainty.
Dubizzle's lack of accountability and failure to uphold basic standards of professionalism have made this entire ordeal a harrowing experience. As a platform that purports to facilitate seamless transactions, Dubizzle has fallen woefully short, leaving customers like myself stranded in a quagmire of incompetence and mismanagement.
In conclusion, I cannot in good conscience recommend Dubizzle to anyone seeking to buy or sell a car. The litany of issues I have encountered underscores the urgent need for Dubizzle to reassess its practices and prioritize customer satisfaction above all else.
Sincerely,
Muhammed

HI guys, Because of the weight of ammunition it seems to me, heavy weapons are pretty much unusable. I mean i can pack a rocket launcher and say 15 missiles, but that is just about enough for 1 maybe 2 encounters and than all the way back to the base to restock. Of course i can make a build with bigger carrying capacity and pack little more or make my companions inv full of missiles or nukes, but than again its too much effort so it makes heavy weapons pretty much useless from my point of view. So i wonder, do you bother with them at all? Collecting and putting perks into them?
