2024.05.16 01:25 GorillaGrip68 my homeless, jobless friend (M24) wants to get his 18 year old gf pregnant. i want to scream.

We obviously aren’t friends anymore after today- i can’t support this grown man ruining a teenager’s life. i couldn’t help but go off on how fucking ignorant he was being, i tried posting screenshots of our convo, but mods never approved, so i’ll post the text here:
Him: I’m gonna get her pregnant soon
Me: ???
Him: I need children before my eventual heroic last stand and subsequent death within the next year
Me: are you planning on getting a home and a job with health insurance before that?
Him: Pfffft. The Lord will provide, He has shown favor on me time and time again
Me: and (girls name) is ok with being a teen mom? what’s the rush? she just graduated and won’t have a chance in life if she had a child depending on her. she has no college education, and no work history.
Him: Women don’t need college or to work. you’re just jealous because you don’t have what she’ll have soon.
i stopped replying to him and there’s nothing i can say to his girlfriend because i’m sure she’ll think i’m jealous of her & trying to take her man (i know when i was her age i thought like this).
not only is she just 18 but she’s autistic and incredibly impressionable. i’m also autistic so i feel for her even more. this whole relationship seems incredibly predatory. he took her v card when she wanted to wait longer too.
they’ve been dating two months.
what saddens me is we live in a state where abortion is illegal and a crime so if this girl gets pregnant, which will probably be soon, she’ll be trapped for life. i’m so angry because this guy has no job, no money, NO HOME so how the fuck can he raise a family?
i fucking hate people.
the fact that this happens so often is so depressing. these kids are brought up in the world without a fucking chance.

2024.05.16 01:25 InternationalFix6484 Shop Innovator : work from home scam!

Shop Innovator : work from home scam!
Shop Innovator- work from home scam
I would like to warn everyone who uses this app to be cautious when dealing with any company that claims to be involved in USDT crypto. If a company contacts you through What's App and offers you the opportunity to earn money by checking apps on the ISO App Store or The Play Store, please exercise extreme caution, especially if they promise payment in USDT Coins using the OKX App. While it is not yet completely clear whether the OKX app is involved in this scam, there appears to be a strong connection between a company called Shop Innovator and the app.
Based on the information I have gathered, the scam works by luring individuals like myself who have a UK bank account and UK driving license or passport to set up accounts with OKX. Once you have set up an account, they will ask you to complete a task for which they will pay you in USDT. They will then instruct you to transfer the cleared funds into OKX and subsequently ask you to send those funds back to BADRHYNO. However, you will not receive anything in return. They will inform you that you need to continue doing this task for five days in order to receive your commission in USDT. On the third day, they will introduce an additional fee that will put you in negative USDT within the BADRHYNO account. They will then demand that you use your own money to purchase USDT through the OKX account so that you can continue with the task and eventually receive your commission on the fifth day. Unfortunately, you will never reach the fifth day, and they will continue to insist that you buy more USDT with false promises of substantial earnings. It is important to be aware of this scam and avoid falling victim to it.

2024.05.16 01:25 purgat0rypals Failed another biologic

Hi all. Diagnosed in 2019 and failed now 5 (Remicade, Entyvio, Stelara, Humira, and most recently Rinvoq) different biologics. Started Rinvoq in Jan of this year and was doing fantastic on the 45mg but as soon as we lowered to a 30mg maintenance dose at the beginning of April I had a spike in symptoms and bloodwork just came back that my white blood cells and c-reactive are higher than pre-Rinvoq when I was completely unmedicated. Still waiting to hear the official word from my GI but I’ve done this song and dance enough times to know when a medicine has likely run its course.
Just feeling extremely down and defeated. The longest time I was in remission was a period of just under 2 years when I was on Remicade (first biologic I was put on) and since then I’ve been in a constant cycle of trying a new medicine, adjusting and waiting for it to kick in, it failing, and doing it all over again. At this point I’m going though at least a biologic a year and I know new medicines are always being developed and worked on (for example, Rinvoq wasn’t approved/an option for Crohn’s management when I was first diagnosed) so I know things evolve and the current list of biologics isn’t exhaustive of all options but I just feel so, so shitty (physically and mentally) from going through this. It feels like I’m on a path of failing every medicine I try and I’m terrified for what will happen when/if I exhaust my options. I’m young— I was diagnosed at 20 and I’m 25 now. I know others struggle with this disease at a much younger age than that, but I already feel like I’ve lost so much to Crohn’s and the thought of having to deal with this for the rest of my life is so overwhelmingly daunting sometimes that I just want to give up. Despite how much I want to, I won’t be doing that— it’s just hard, you know?
I know there likely isn’t much anyone can tell me that I haven’t already seen or read about on this subreddit. I guess I’m just looking for some kind words (if you’d be willing to offer them) and for anyone else who may have a similar experience of repeatedly failing medication to share their stories/advice. Logically I know this is just another bump in the road but it’s really bumming me out. Thanks y’all.

2024.05.16 01:24 AR15_He_Is_Him Lakers can get Donavan Mitchell if he says he will sign there in free agency

Very easy for D Mitch to pull an AD and steer his future toward the purple and gold.
Rui, Reaves, JHS and 3 1sts for Mitchell.
Not a lot of other teams will be willing to match that offer if they think there is a small likelihood that he could leave in free agency the following offseason.

2024.05.16 01:24 Usual_Writer_825 I hate my mom and her bf sm.

Time after time my mom (38) has chosen men over her 4 children, she literally chose to lose our 4 bed 2 bath apartment just so she can live with her pos bf (52) whose she hasn't even known for 6 months. She left me alone at the apartment to stay with him 5 day out of the week after just 2 weeks of knowing him, after maybe two months she moved in full time and he has been since February. He is a homophobic pos that says shit to my mom when I (Trans 16) wears a skirt. We used to be so close until they met, now she blames me because we don't talk or see each other. Her bfs house is a 2 bed 1 bath house. My sibling go over there on the weekends because my grandmother is closest to their school, so that would be 5 people including 3 kids (6, 10, and 16) on the weekends. My dad died 8 years ago and since then I've been getting $1000 every month, which she is supposed to be used on me, which she hasnt givin me shit, maybe $300 in the last e months, which i have a dog and a rabbit, including my food and hygiene. When I ask for anything all she tells me is to get a job, which i would but I have mental health issues in 2022 and the fucked up my learning (I do online) so I've been trying to get caught up, and she bitches at me when I don't have schoolwork caught up, then tell me to get a job for fucking necessities. We wen out for mothers day dinner last night and she dead ass looks at my sister and expected her to pay for my meal. And by the end of the month they will be their full time, and by the beginning of next month I and my sister, my sisters bf and their baby will be evicted from the apartment. (My sister, her so and baby have been living in the apartment until they can get a house, which they will have by the end of next month, so she has been taking care of me. Like she always has(they have a place to stay until they)). So I'm forced to move in with my mom until further notice, I will fucking be so depressed and angry their. I fucking hate being 16, I fucking hate my mom, she is an irresponsible selfish parent who only cares about her happiness. Fuck you mom.

2024.05.16 01:23 rad_tech11 AITA for telling my bf he should help pay my car?

So we haven’t been together that long I’m 29f and he’s 29m. We’ve been together for about 1 years and a half. We live together and we have a son. He works and I just got back into work after having our baby. So I have a car I’m financing and he just finished his car payment I think last year. He drives a truck and I drive a small car *camry. Last year he crashed a Honda I had which was also being financed and I didn’t have GAP insurance so I had to pay the remainder balance. He offered to pay it since he was the one who crashed. It was about 5 grand maybe. He’s about two payments away from being done. I work maybe 2 miles from home and he works maybe 25 miles from work. He drives my car to work and I take his truck because it’s closer so less gas. I’m in Cali by the way. Anyways today I mentioned he should help me pay my car since he uses it and I don’t. I didn’t say pay it all I just simply said to help me I was thinking half? He got so bothered and said if he had a truck payment would I be paying his car since I use it. I said no because I’d be using my car. And he said then take your car and I’ll be taking my truck I simply said ok I will be taking it and now he’s being petty and saying he pumped gas so I’m going to refund the money he used to pump gas.. smh Am I the ass whole? How do I go about this. I’ve been dealing with depression I think because of just having a baby but everything seems to bother me and I feel little things are adding up that I can’t tolerate anymore. He also is always telling me he wishes he can make enough so I didn’t have to work but if he doesn’t even want to help with my car payment then why would I ever let him be my only source of income and depend on him financially?the math isn’t mathing. Advice? Thanks!

2024.05.16 01:23 gwc2019 Getting baby back to breast

My baby is 5 months old and is refusing to nurse. He nursed exclusively up until 3 months, when I returned to work and had to start pumping bottles for him. He now has a huge bottle preference and will only breastfeed during the night or occasionally during a nap.
I’m a teacher and will be home with him this summer I want to get back to exclusively breastfeeding him. Any advice on how to transition back to breast? He arches away and cries whenever I offer breast (except at night) I’ve read that skin to skin and baths can help but I’m just not sure how to go about that…do I just hold him all day topless lol Any and all advice/ success stories are appreciated!

2024.05.16 01:23 Safe-Vegetable-2206 Need urgent help

Hello my name is Brian, i was recently in a bike accident that put me out of work for a few months I am writing to you with a heartfelt request for financial assistance as I am currently facing a significant challenge that has put my housing stability at risk for me my wife and my daughter. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I find myself in a precarious position where securing a safe and stable home has become an urgent necessity. The past months have been a period of unexpected hardship for me. Currently, I am in need of $8,000 to cover the costs associated with finding a new home. This amount would help me with the critical expenses such as the security deposit, first and last month's rent, moving costs, and basic furnishings to make the space livable. Securing this funding is vital for me to move forward and establish a place where I can rebuild my life with dignity and security. I understand that asking for financial support is not a small request, and I want to assure you that I have explored all other options before reaching out. I have looked into various local assistance programs, but the resources available are either insufficient or the waiting lists are too long to meet my immediate needs. Your support would mean more than just monetary assistance; it would be a beacon of hope during this difficult time. It would enable me to focus on getting back on my feet without the added stress of housing insecurity. I am determined to work hard and regain my self-sufficiency, and your help would be a crucial stepping stone towards that goal. I am more than willing to discuss in further detail my situation and the steps I am taking to improve it. I am also open to the possibility of arranging a repayment plan if that would make you more comfortable in providing assistance.Thank you for taking the time to consider my request. Any help or guidance you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

2024.05.16 01:23 cottongrassmound I'm finally fully letting go.

I was always different from my family. I was physically abused by my mother when she would drink. My father died of an overdose. My sister was always violent and temperamental toward me. My dog was killed by my mother when I took the first step to independence by moving some distance away from her, by euthanizing her before her time. I moved from the US to Canada and began living differently.
With distance, things seemed to change. I forgave my family and my mom started therapy and seemed over phone calls to change. My sister had kids. Years passed and I have cultivated an entirely different lifeway, culture, and worldview. My life with my husband is peaceful. Then we received news my grandfather, who I mostly always liked, was dying of pancreatic cancer. I was living in remote northern wilderness in isolation for my job, and had to move mountains so to speak to attend and be present for this. I am now here.
Two days in, I tried to communicate how disturbed I felt by that individual preferences of my other family seemed to take precedence over my grandfather's. Small stuff like constant noise and busybess in the house as he is within days of passing, or everyone being glued to screens and having constant tv on. But also big stuff like my college-aged cousin having over his girlfriend, who is a stranger to me and many other family members, and who showed up speaking loudly of leaving for a trip to a beach destination, laughing loudly, and dressed/presented totally inappropriately (ordinarily I do not care how others dress). My grandfather expressly wanted only close family present, and that he most of all wants peace and quiet and for the house to not have so many people in it.
Anyway, a fight occurred. I was told aloud that I'm actually the one who doesn't belong here, I have no business being present in the house. I perceive everyone here as selfish, insane. My grandfather is the only one who has validated me. He told me moving far north was the beat thing that could happen for me probably, that the others do not understand and never will, etc. But he also apparently told my mother that he wishes I did not come here, doesn't think I could handle seeing him like this, etc.
I feel so alone. I want to go back to my wilderness place. I have so much shame and confusion. The only positive thing other than getting to say my goodbyes, is the time I have spent playing with my nephew, who is the only family member that seems to like me at all. I told my sister and mother both that I simply don't belong here, we cannot see similarly on matters of literal life and death, I don't feel it makes sense to only have a distant relationship over text/phone, and we clearly just never have had common ground in my entire life. I want to part ways once and for all.
The icing on the cake is that I have been asking for years to stop being called my given first name. I hated it since I was a child and asked to be called either my middle name or my childhood nickname (Goose). I asked at least 20 times this visit alone. No effort is made.
I'm just done. I feel empty. I don't know or care if I'm the problem because I just want it all to end and be put behind me. My flight to return is tomorrow. I don't think they will ever see me again, and told them that. My sister freaked out and tried to manipulate me into feeling obligation toward her kids, who I only ever have had a relationship with these two days. I think they will be okay and are on their own life paths. My mother simply said "okay". No one else cared to begin with since I'm already nothing to them.

2024.05.16 01:22 heyhello21 New director of my team has stated I now have to come in from 8-5 instead of 9-5 after a year of having this schedule?

So our company goes through a lot of staff, and right now we’ve had a new president for a few months and new department director for about 2 months . During our 1on1 she stated that I should technically be coming in 8-5 and should start doing so which took me by surprise because my entire department and entire work from my understanding is on a 9-5 schedule . I told her that when I was hired I was told it was 9-5 so that doesn’t make sense . I’ve been at this job for 11 months now. Her argument was basically that I am hired to work 40 hours and if I take a lunch technically I should be 8-5 . I told her no, I am salary, so technically I don’t even take a lunch sometimes , sometimes I eat at my desk, and I don’t always take the full hour . It varies . I also sometimes stay longer than 5 to finish projects (I work in marketing). I told her if there is a change I need it in writing . She pulled up my offer letter and basically said there is no specified start and end time , it only states 40 hours, so technically they can tell me to change my times . I am honestly dumbfounded . Are they allowed to do this? How should I move forward ?

2024.05.16 01:21 Rare_Bullfrog_8660 What does it mean when a girl wants to travel with you?

I (20M) need advice on female psychology. Next year I will be studying in London. For a third time a girl I am interested in says wants to travel with me but does not really behave as I want.
When I got accepted to uni me and my ex broke up. She said she did not like me anymore but that she would make all the efforts to travel with me to London.
After her my girl bf was always talking about going to London and other plans. I took that was a sign she wanted to hook up. I was wrong.
Now I went on a date with a girl leaving in three days. We hit off and she planned to go to London too. Next day I offered to pay a night in a hotel for the second date but she got angry because of that and said she is not coming to London.
Why would a girl genuinely want to travel but not be romantically interested?
Needless to say I had good chemistry with them but due to us falling out it is not happening.

2024.05.16 01:21 learnandlive99 Weaning my almost 2 year old cold turkey….

Just as the title says…I’ve been fortunate to exclusively breastfeed my babe for almost 2 years and have been trying to gentle wean for MONTHS but it just has not been working. We nurse on demand but he still was choosing milk over solids and in addition to comfort nursing and night nursing I’m embarrassed to say how many nursing sessions we were at daily. Mama is tired of been tugged on and I have reached the point that many have said “you’ll know when you’re done”. So this evening I tapped my breast up and started drinking pink storks no flow tea (idk if it will help to try me up but I sure hope so. I’ve been an over producer the entire time and have finally got down to only pumping if I’m away from my toddler for like 6 hours to relieve. So I’m not pumping at all most days except for the occasional outing. He had done well with out of sight out of mind and I noticed on those days he ate more real food (which makes sense because he wasn’t full of milk. So here we are. Part of me just hope it’s works quick, the toddler melt downs don’t last long and eventually I won’t be tapped up and leaking milk. Idk just needed to get it out. Hopefully I haven’t offended anyone. I am offering my babe all the cuddles and kisses he wants and hoping to find other methods of comfort to replace the breast since he does not take a pacifier as I am the literal pacifier. Welcoming words of encouragement, education and kindness and will ignore any negativity.

2024.05.16 01:21 febriiize Re-applying for a new announcement question

Questions bolded incase you don't want to read everything.
Background: I applied under the 24-5 announcement. I have done my Medical, PT, Drug Test, Finger Prints and eQip. I am waiting for 'results' for my medical and PT test. Per the application portal only my eQip is completed. When applying I selected El Paso, TX as my preferred location because I was under the assumption I could get hired in Harlingen/Brownsville/McAllen TX locations later. This is because I thought if positions became available there down the line that I could get hired there.
I am still confused if I could get offered those locations considering they were not available for my announcement. In the 24-8 announcement Hidalgo, TX is on there which is closer to where I want to be. To be offered this position do I have to re-apply? If I re-apply will my Medical and PT test be carried over considering they haven't been completed in the application portal? If I re-apply will my application process take longer to receive a final offer?

2024.05.16 01:20 No-Storm-8920 I am in a fierce custody battle that affects my son. I can win it now, but I would use something cruel. I am conflicted about what I should do

Hi! This story will require quite a bit of context (that can be found here https://www.reddit.com/AmItheAsshole/s/2Vo9S0QKF1). Long story short, my (F26) ex Fitz (M 32) keeps finding reasons to sue me to get full custody of our son Tim (M5). He sued several times in the past, but now everything went too far.
After a previous fierce custody battle we had an iron tight co parenting agreement. It took ages to reach one as he kept trying to include clauses just to make my life miserable. Right after graduating, when Tim was around 1 yo, in the middle of our custody battle, I would take Tim to work with me a lot. I would have long hours at the beginning, trying to make a name for myself, while Fitz was trying to paint me as a negligent mother for leaving Tim with a nanny while studying, back during finals. Hence, every other day after 4:30, when most people would go home, my mom would drop Tim at my lab and he would stay and play next to me in my office until 8 when we would go home. I would offer him plenty of attention as I would mostly run time consuming simulations that would require little involvement from my side.
Knowing this, Fitz fought tooth and nail to stop me from doing this, knowing how much easier this made our life. I work in a lab that focuses on various incurable diseases research. I almost never get in touch with the biological side as I am in the modelling team, doing mostly maths and coding. My office is in a different building than the lab and Tim has only ever been in my own office, far from the biological material. However, in the end, after arguing that my workplace is dangerous, Fitz managed to get a clause that would prevent me from having Tim with me at work. In order not to have it sound personal, the clause stated that Tim was not to be taken in any place with a BR factor greater than 1, unless his safety would be at play.
Where we are from, the BR factor of an establishment measures the risk of getting an infectious disease. Any biological lab has it greater than 1, by default, even if they do not work with any viruses . During the pandemic, all hospitals got their BR increased over 1.
Now, after an emergency, Fitz sued me for breaching our agreement. He has had a private detective in me for the better part of the past two years and kept trying building a case against me for “repeatedly violating our contract “. He kept using petty situations, like Tim being alone with my dad for 2 minutes into the men’s room at the mall while my mom and I are right in front of the door, waiting for them, even though my dad is not on the pre approved list as he has epilepsy. Or me not having an epi pen at my home because I gave it to Fitz as his was about to expire and it was his turn to pick up Tim who has severe allergies, even though our agreement said to have one at all times. (Just to make it clear, I bought a new one before getting Tim back). He also tried to paint me as a danger for having had seen a psychiatrist in highschool and early college. The reason was an eating disorder, nothing that could be any danger, which Fitz was aware of.
Even though all his so said proofs and breaches of contract were silly, with the most serious one described in the linked post, the trial got very intense, with him attacking me on a personal level. While we live in a big city, it quickly became the biggest gossip in our community, being on the lips of all the moms from pre school, most of them siding with me. Unfortunately, as much as I tried and couldn’t keep it all from Tim, since he was asked lots of questions by the kids at pre-school who heard about the situation. He became very stressed and started having night terrors.
I tried to reason with Fitz for Tim’s sake with no luck. 2 days ago, Fitz’s sister, Mia, came to see me. She wanted to give me something that could end all the stress Tim was under.
Almost 3 years ago, Fitz’s dad had a heart attack and almost died, but made a miraculous recovery. While he was in a coma, Fitz and Mia took Tim to the hospital to see his grandfather for what was thought to be the last time. Fitz’s entire family agreed there was no point in telling me, since I was very empathetic about the entire situation and even suggested that Tim and I could go visit him in the hospital once I picked him up from Fitz. They refused, however, since Tim already visited him, but did not mention this to me. She gave me texts to prove everything she was saying, and showing that Fitz knowingly breached our agreement and hid this from me for years on purpose.
My lawyer says that since this event occurred before all the ones he tries to use against me, it could get the entire case dismissed immediately, since it would have voided the parenting agreement we had. He guarantees me a win nonetheless, it would just take longer if we don’t use this. My parents think I should be the bigger person and not use it, as it is cruel and I should be an example for Tim for when he will be older. They insist that I would be in the wrong, especially since I would win nonetheless. I, however, just want to end this nightmare for good, and take care of the emotional health of my son. So what should I do?

2024.05.16 01:20 SmellyRedditFingers I Really Wish Something Cost

So I’m partly through GTA IV and my character Nico has 400,000 dollars, but he keeps going on and taking jobs from the McReary’s and Ray Barciano (basically all just hitman jobs if we’re honest) and I’m befuddled by Nico throughout the game. He keeps saying he has no money and he’s willing to work if things pay, it’s like red dead redemption 2 all over again. The plot makes no sense because there’s nothing to use money for.
I can’t tell if this is like an antiquated take or not because i haven’t played GTA before but from my understanding the only things there are to spend money on are hospital stays and ammunition for weapons - weapons I have ultimately forever.
As someone that’s played Saints Row before where the character develops and gains properties and expands their character and empire off of money it’s kind of shocking how little there is to do with money in GTA IV.
I hope I’m not speaking into the endless nothing, this is such a narrative-and-player problem that I hope in future instalments they give reason for your character or for you the player to make money.
I did all of Brucie’s car thefts and Little Jacob’s “deliveries” because I actually felt there would be momentous occasions where I’d need to spend money. I could have never done them and the game would be no different.
I’m on to GTA V after I complete this game and it’s DLC’s so I’m hoping they corrected this. What’s the point of collecting money if money is not really valuable gameplay wise, narrative wise, or anything else?
Niko could literally kill Bulgarin, Florian, and Draco and sit back on his half a million for some time before ever needing to get a job again. Nothing costs, and there’s nothing to spend on.
P.S. It may not suit rockstars style but a leveling system of some sort would do all of their games well. It just seemed odd to me that in red dead and gta (so far) the gameplay is the complete same no matter what you do, your character doesn’t really improve. Some sort of progression would really flesh out this game a lot more, just like how a money progression system would work.

2024.05.16 01:20 itiswhatitis456 Found out I didn't get the job within my company because I overheard a conversation

About a week and a half ago I applied to a position internally that I was super excited about. I have been waiting for this position to open up for quite some time. I am super qualified for it since I already work at the company so I know how to use all of our programs and I work closely with the team that the position opened up for. I thought I'd be a shoo-in. Part of the job requires creating show offers, so I learned how to do that before the interview and printed it out so they know there wouldn't be much training involved with me. A head of a department at my company that I am close with felt so strongly about me getting this position that he emailed the manager on my behalf to vouch for me.
Then today, one of the managers I interviewed with was talking to a coworker behind me saying that the new hires are going to be starting next week. No one even had the decency to email me or tell me to my face that I didn't get this position. It seems they think so little of me considering we have been working together for over 2 years now and they don't have the respect to tell me. I was right there when the manager said that.. how does she not realize I can hear her.
This job opportunity was my chance to grow at the company and now that I can't do that I feel like I'm being forced out. I never wanted to leave the company but it doesn't seem there is room for me to grow anymore. it's such an awful feeling when no one believes in you at the place you work.

2024.05.16 01:20 learnandlive99 Weaning almost 2 year old cold turkey…not ideal but here we are!

Just as the title says…I’ve been fortunate to exclusively breastfeed my babe for almost 2 years and have been trying to gentle wean for MONTHS but it just has not been working. We nurse on demand but he still was choosing milk over solids and in addition to comfort nursing and night nursing I’m embarrassed to say how many nursing sessions we were at daily. Mama is tired of been tugged on and I have reached the point that many have said “you’ll know when you’re done”. So this evening I tapped my breast up and started drinking pink storks no flow tea (idk if it will help to try me up but I sure hope so. I’ve been an over producer the entire time and have finally got down to only pumping if I’m away from my toddler for like 6 hours to relieve. So I’m not pumping at all most days except for the occasional outing. He had done well with out of sight out of mind and I noticed on those days he ate more real food (which makes sense because he wasn’t full of milk. So here we are. Part of me just hope it’s works quick, the toddler melt downs don’t last long and eventually I won’t be tapped up and leaking milk. Idk just needed to get it out. Hopefully I haven’t offended anyone. I am offering my babe all the cuddles and kisses he wants and hoping to find other methods of comfort to replace the breast since he does not take a pacifier as I am the literal pacifier. Welcoming words of encouragement, education and kindness and will ignore any negativity.

2024.05.16 01:20 Resident_Newspaper_1 NPs have only made my life worse, never stop fighting

I come to this subreddit for support, im at a point in my life where I really don't think I would be if I had a proper doctor to help me.
Im a victim to Psych NPs. Ive read a couple other say this and I whole heartedly agree, Psych NPs are the worst NPs by far. Im sure many of you know the numbers in hours compareing the experiences of doctors fresh out of residency compared to those fresh out of a masters program. I wish when i first started having issues I would have been given a psychiatrist, my first NP was strictly by the book (DSM) and now I probably have a fucked up record because of all the bullshit they've written in there about me. I want a job that requires trust and not someone questioning my decision making skills. They were very slow in treating me and I got worse very quick.
My second NP mis-diagnosed me and gave me a stimulant medication, somthing that the government really doesnt like. These two Psych NPs Im almost certain have ruined my chances of getting my dream job. I wish Psych NPs wouldnt exist. And no one talks about the damage they do. Thats what I hate the most. Ive only met cocky over confident NPs, I know this sounds like an attack but Its been my overwhelming personal experience with internal medicine, family medicine, and psych NPs. Something needs to happen about them, they've already ruined my life and who knows how many others. I will never in my life trust another Nurse practitioner.
Something needs to change they shouldnt be allowed to have the same scope as psychiatrists. There has to be a way where we can inform the Public and they can distrust them too.
This is extremely personal and I apologize but I hope to find some comfort in this subreddit. I have been suffering in silence for way too long. I yearn for the public to know about how bad these "practitioners" are. Dont stop fighting for this cause, all of you on this subreddit keep fighting for whats right, I know I will tell everyone I meet to not trust them.
I hope whoever else feels alone out there can read this I know they weren't the only one.

2024.05.16 01:20 Noxthesergal Idea for a magic item

This is an item I came up with this item as an idea for a campaign centerpiece. If I ever run one of my own But I was wondering what your opinions would be about it.
Gem of exchange
It takes the appearance of a small crystal that seems to have its surface rippling like a liquid but still very clearly solid.
When a player character touches the crystal their consciousness will be transported to a white void where a voice in their head will explain the crystals purpose and inact it. That purpose being to allow the player character to give aspects of themselves to the crystal. For example one of their hit dice or permanent access to a spell slot. Beforehand all things a character has are assigned a value for balance reasons. Once they give something up they’ll wake up with the things offered taken. And an ability granted to them (this is also determined beforehand) the ability growing in power the more they give it. They can also touch the crystal again to give more to it in exchange for stregthening their abilities. Additionally a player can carry the item on their person and the party can make an exchange with it as long as they are within touch range of the player carrying it. This takes an action mid combat.
So what do y’all think???

2024.05.16 01:20 Adazaiya_U Job interview coming up in a week

I have received an interview for a job which just seems too good to be true and I can’t stop panicking about what-if situations. It’s this may 21st and I am already sweating bullets but desperately praying a miracle happens and I am offered the position . I completely bombed the last interview i had. I legit struggled to speak and you would think i don’t know english. I desperately need an internship and it would be my first ever placement if i am blessed this time and i truly dont wanna mess up. But i cant give myself the confidence to overcome this. I keep thinking how i messed up badly before and how i would paint myself as a clown this time again. I would really appreciate some tips to calm myself down. My anxiety doesnt even allow me to speak coherent sentences and i am scared.
