2024.06.02 10:49 IndependentMindedGal Employment law, MA/IL question
Hi, I was employed by an MA contracting house to work 50% on-site 50% WFH in IL. Verbally told the contract was for 12 weeks; terminated after 4 in accordance with the “any time/any reason” clause. Was doing solid work / getting on with everyone at a job I loved when the contracting house contact called “calling you from my home line” to tell me I was being cut while on a WFH day. > to date I’ve never rec’d any written communication from either the job site or the contracting house telling me I was terminated. About 20 minutes after the call, the Slack wire went down followed by other accesses. > I wrote 3 people saying I’d come to return company equipment and transition off my work, nobody responded. Came into the office (hey, they buzzed me in) and bumped into a manager who tells me Surprise, he’s chief legal counsel for this little cargo cult of a company. He sequestered me and tried to intimidate me while I sought to understand who had cut me, and why. He got the contracting house on the phone for the discussion, some suit I’d never heard of let’s call him “Gil”. Gil is basically xhitting bricks thru the phone the whole meeting. He is absolutely panicking about my being there. Legal counsel is not upset w me and begins being mildly cooperative. We have our discussion and I turn in the assets, get my personal items, leave. Gil has stated he will email me his contact info, says he’ll do it after “lunchtime in Boston!,” but he never does.
I was one of 3 cut like this, we’re all “protected class”.
Question: why would a company go to such extremes to terminate someone so immediately and so harshly? In all 3 cases there’s no indication of theft or other serious malfeasance on the part of the cut worker. I do believe my contract house contact broke instructions to give me the 20 minute lead time. 2nd question, less important, is this failure to notify in writing intentional/part of some scam (if so what/why) or just indicative of their general incompetence? 3rd question, what if anything can I do to compel/encourage the contracting house to stop this cruel and destructive behavior? I say destructive because the on-site lost the value of 90% of the work that I did when they cut me the way they did, with no allowed transition, and for me it’s reputationally distructive. Found out thru discussion with colleagues that they were explicitly told not to talk w/ me, but many of them are, regardless.
What a little xhit show. IL’s finest, they’re not. Good thing all they “make” are chunks of inert plastic, eh? Ah where would the world be if we couldn’t eat plastic.

2024.06.02 10:48 LieutenantPatang Sarkar Reimagined
I am back after a break with another reimagining, and I thought this time I would tackle another movie that fell disappointingly short of expectations... Sarkar. Sarkar released to huge expectations after the success of both Thuppakki and Kaththi, but the film failed to deliver on its promise of a Mudhalvan-like political fantasy; I have to admit though, the movie is a guilty pleasure of mine which I do often revisit. That being said:
WARNING: I am not claiming to be a better writer than any of the people involved in the film and this is not a criticism of their ability.
The movie begins with a boarding meeting at one of the companies in Canada that GL (Sundar's company) is about to acquire. The members of the board nervously waiting for the arrival of their new boss, the media is waiting outside and we get the hype up for Sundar's eventual mass intro. After a build a of tension, a Rolls Royce pulls up and the camera follows as a man wearing pair of Tom Ford shoes exits the vehicle and walks into the elevator in the building as the media tries to snap some pics of him. The members of the board continue to wait impatiently, as the elevator doors open to reveal Sundar Ramaswamy (Vijay). He basically walks in doesn't say a word and sits at the head of the table. Sundar's lawyer drops the paperwork on the table, each member of the board takes their turn signing the document. Finally the document comes back to Sundar who flicks his signature onto it and gets up to leave, but one of the board members stops him to ask, "How do you feel after ruining the livelihood of 3,000 employees?". Sundar turns around and smiles at the board before doing the signature 'Vijay gum flick' and walking away in slow motion, queue the 'CEO in the House' song as Sundar heads out to celebrate acquiring the company. The scene is to establish Sundar as a proper overconfident and cocky 'corporate monster' instead of just telling us that he is a 'corporate monster'.
From there the movie continues pretty similarly with Sundar coming back to India to cast his vote, even though he takes his job very seriously he is still a patriot at heart and has a soft corner for his people. Same as the movie, someone else casts his vote and he begins organising lawyers meetings and press conference to get his vote back. All goes pretty much the same until the point Sundar's driver tells him about the atrocities done by the government and the family that set themselves on fire, Sundar is genuinely quite unaware of all this. Similar to the movie, he directs his convoy to go to the colony where the little girl is. Unlike the movie, we have one long take where the camera follows Sundar from behind as he gets out his car and walks through the local area, through the alleys and slums, observing the common folk; this is to show how out-of-touch he really is with reality. He finally comes to the little girl's house, and the camera finally pans to reveal Sundar's somber face; this scene is crucial as this paints his actions for the rest of the movie, it is important that we spend time showing how this incident impacts him. Unable to look at the girl's burnt face Sundar turns around and walks away, he signals his PA to sort the family out with treatment for the little girl.
From here, we go to the scene with Rendu (Radha Ravi) at the hotel; this will go pretty much exactly how it did in the movie. The only difference here is, going into the hotel Sundar is slightly solemn, but his expression slowly changes with Rendu's speech and we get the scene with the 'Topu Tuckeru' BGM as Sundar smokes. The following events also unravel similar to the film with the action block and the 'Simtaangaran song'; these are commercial filler compromises that must be made, its also a staple of the ARM-Vijay combo movies. The following scene is also similar with Sundar instigating the court case to stop Masilamani's inauguration, the key difference though is that Sundar doesn't speak in the court he silently watches from the stands as his lawyer does the arguing. Once the ceremony is stopped, he gets up, does the 'Vijay gum flick' and walks away in slow motion with the 'CEO in the House' BGM; this mirrors the opening scene where Sundar finesses the board room, but this time he's finessed the government. The election is postponed by 10 days.
Meanwhile, Masilamani is furious by what Sundar started, he encourages his party members to start rioting and to find where Sundar is. The riots go on for 2 days, but there is no sign of Sundar anywhere. Masilamani grows impatient and starts seeking advice from Pappa (Varalaxmi), who says that they shouldn't have tried instigated or started beef with him in the first place, saying that she will be back in Chennai within the next day or so. While this is happening, media crews have gathered outside Masilamani's house which confuses him. Rendu goes outside and asks them why they are here, for which they respond: 'Sundar told us to meet him here'. Both Rendu and Masilamani are shocked. Suddenly a convoy of youngsters on bikes arrive with a Rolls Royce travelling at the centre of the party. Sundar gets out of the Rolls Royce and he is followed by his lawyers. Sundar asks for permission to enter, for which Masilamani obliges. The two sit down and face each other, with Masilamani asking what Sundar wants. Sundar responds with this:
INTERMISSION
Going into the second half, we have a few questions:
With 8 days left till the election Sundar sits in his office, he calls his team and GL and tells them to run the ads of him giving the post press conference speech after getting back his vote (as he does in the movie). This creates waves in the media and makes him the poster boy for the coming election. He tells his PA not to organise any press conferences until he says so. Sundar has booked out a small venue where he will be speaking to the 750 youngsters that he has inaugurated into the party, this is where he finally reveals what happened in the last 2 days. We get a flashback and it is revealed that he ultimately did the same as what happened in the movie; to run an internet scan on all the most suitable candidates of each constituency and run interviews like a corporate company (I really like the idea of this), he positions the people he selected as independant candidates in their respective constituency. Sundar has been planning this since the scene with Rendu at the hotel; this all plays as a montage over the first half of 'Oru Viral Puratchi'. After the song we cut back to this speech with Sundar and the youth, where he basically says we are going to infiltrate this party from the inside and then he says the 'branding' dialogue from the movie (which I like the idea of, the mannerism was kinda cringe though).
Following the speech, Sundar enacts his next plan. He identifies Masilamani's candidates who are most likely to win in their respective area and launches a smear campaign through his influence over GL. This forces Masilamani to identify alternate party members to take their place, but Sundar presents Masilamani with the constituency polling data which shows that the independant candidates (that he selected based on the internet scan) are in the lead. Sundar suggests to Masilamani that they buy them out with a salary (also like corporate company), however Masilamani doesn't know that these individuals were planted by Sundar. Masilamani is beginning to get suspicious about Sundar's plan but he still hasn't fully sniffed it out yet given his lack of understanding about technology.
Pappa finally arrives in Chennai from Canada and confronts her dad about everything that has happened, she is shocked to find out that he has basically sold the party to Sundar. She is quickly able to deduce Sundar's plan based on the information given by her dad and Rendu. Pappa also reveals here that her husband was one of the board members from the start of the movie, which explains why she knows so much about Sundar.
Given that Sundar now controls most of the seats in the party, he begins his campaign from the background with candidates doing most of the work ; this plays over the second half of the 'Oru Viral Puratchi' song. As soon as this montage finishes, we find out that Masilamani has died. A confusion has now arisen as to who controls the party, with only 3 days left until the election. Pappa gives an angry press conference saying that Sundar had cheated her dad and stole the party, revealing the contract to the public. She also announces that she and her father's loyal supporters will be joining the opposition party. Based on the sympathy votes gained from her father's death the opposition offers Pappa a significant number of seats. Sundar is shocked to see what has happened, he won't be able to sue Pappa as Masilamani was the one that signed the contract (not sure about legal terms, but lets just go with it), suing her will also only get him more negative press.
Sundar gets a call from the GL board questioning him about his extensive involvement in politics given the bad press around his contract stunt. Cut to the next scene, Sundar is in a press conference and publicly announces his resignation from GL as he is about to leave the stage, he is heckled by one of the reporters on his way down. Sundar has to give up his company assets such as his PA and bodyguards, if he loses this election he still owes Masilamani's family 140crs as per the contract that he signed. For the first time in Sundar's life, overconfidence has led to his downfall. With two days left till the election and no internet influence and power, how is Sundar going to win?
The next day he posts a Facebook live and addresses his plan transparently with the party, this can be the same as the 'Idhu Namma Sarkar' scene from the movie. Sundar explains how he chose his candidates and compares it to the millions of college graduates who get a corporate job, highlighting the need for the government to be qualified. This gets some positive buzz for Sundar but not enough to win the election. As Sundar sits in his office, hopelessly, one of his candidates tells him about 'Saatai' Muthukumar (this plotline will be the same as the movie); this could be the ideal trump card to win the election. This ticks of an idea, given that all Masilamani's loyalists have moved to the opposition along with Pappa all the party assets now reside with Sundar. He hires a corporate auditing team to unpack all the party records and finds all the holes in there records this allows him to unpack the 'Saatai' Muthukumar conspiracy and he has all the evidence ready to go public... but he waits. Sundar contacts Pappa for a meeting and the two sit down, with lawyers present. Sundar reveals everything that he has found from his audit of the party and threatens to go public with it unless she voids their contract where he owes her family 140cr, he also agrees to sign an NDA. Pappa obliges and asks him to burn the evidence in front of her, which Sundar does. On the car ride home, Pappa orders for Sundar to be murdered as she doesn't trust him.
The next morning is the day of the election, similar to the actual movie Sundar begins tweeting from a fake twitter handle about the evidence pulled from the audit, leading the media on a wild easter egg hunt to put the evidence together themselves, this removes any paper trails that lead back to Sundar. Pappa and the opposition party struggle to manage the storm that has been caused by the tweeting, she knows this was done by Sundar but has no evidence to prove it; the only way for her save face is if Sundar confesses to his manipulation for which he needs to be alive, so she cancels the hit on him. It is soon revealed, similar to the movie that the fake twitter handle is associated with that of a dead man, begging the question of who is tweeting? Sundar and his team re-route the IP address of the tweets to the leader of the opposition party and spin the narrative that he did this to tarnish Masilamani's reputation as a leader, which leads to in-fighting. Pappa is furious, as although she knows the truth about Sundar's access to the evidence, she can't speak about it due to the NDA (which would open her up to being sued). With no other option, she plots to have Sundar killed, as it looks like he is going to win. We can insert an obligatory climax fight here, where Sundar overcomes the odds but realising an opportunity, he fakes his own death which increases the votes to his party, leading to a victory in the election.
The following day is the swearing-in ceremony as all the candidates take up their positions. Pappa is also present and she along with everyone else believes Sundar is dead. Just as the first candidate is swearing-in, Sundar arrives and sits right next to Pappa, there is a media frenzy happening outside. There is a small bit of dialog between the two and he explains why he did all this (i.e. reference back to the girl who was burnt outside the collecter's office, etc). He finally tells her that the contract he signed with her father was only for 8 days, so his time has expired and he is no longer part of the party. Sundar gets up and walks away in slow motion as the credit roll.
This is my reimagining of Sarkar, what are your thoughts and what would you do differently? And what movie should I do next?

Sundar asks for permission to enter, for which Masilamani obliges. The two sit down and face each other, with Masilamani asking what Sundar wants. Sundar responds with this:
- "I've got 750 youngsters who are ready to work for this party."
- "I've got 40 crores in hard cash."
- "I've got the tag of GL CEO."
- "Will you let me join your party?"
"Your party's image is in shambles, even if you pay people to vote for you, they won't do it. You're guaranteed to lose this election and there's nothing you can do about it. I'm here to offer you the winning card, I will do everything to ensure your party retains. All I ask for is 70cr in campaigning funds and that you give me 2 MLA seats and take in the 750 youngsters that I have brought as party members. If your party loses, I will pay you twice what you paid me as a penalty but regardless of the outcome you can't raise this to the media or I will sue your ass. If you agree, sign the contract. You can let your lawyers read over it, but you have nothing to lose."Masilamani is shocked by this offer and looks over the contract, he doesn't know how to read so he passes it to his lawyer who verifies it and says that it's legit. Rendu proposes that they wait for Pappa before signing, but Sundar says "if you don't accept this within the next 1 hour, I will take it to the opposition party". Masilamani is properly checkmated now, but what could he possible have to lose? He smiles and signs it, Sundar smiles and shakes his hand. Sundar walks out with a cigarette in-hand, the 'Oru Viral Puratchi' guitar rift rolls in the background.
INTERMISSION
Going into the second half, we have a few questions:
- Why did Sundar join Masilamani's party if they are the losing side?
- Where was Sundar in the two days during the riots?
- How did Sundar get the backing of all these youngsters?
- How does Sundar plan on making the party win and how does this benefit him?
With 8 days left till the election Sundar sits in his office, he calls his team and GL and tells them to run the ads of him giving the post press conference speech after getting back his vote (as he does in the movie).

2024.06.02 10:45 just429t I want a future WITHOUT kids and have made it known since day 1, how can I make sure I'm not wasting my time? 27/F with 25/M
A little background information on me, you can skip this paragraph: I (27/F) have never wanted kids. Ever since I was young, I admired my mother and said I wanted to be like her, a stay at home mom. My mother laughed and said something about me having kids. I paused and replied back to her: "I want to be a stay at home wife" and my feelings have never changed (except about the stay-at-home part, I enjoy having a job too much lawl). I've been around babies and children my whole life as well as have taken care of my parents for over a decade (though it has been messy). Whenever I date someone, I always make sure to be upfront about not wanting kids. Mainly because I know it's an important issue and I don't wish to waste anyone's time nor my own.
My partner on the other hand, is more on the fence. He said at the start of dating he didn't care if he had kids or not. Slowly but surely I learned as we dated he is more on the fence. He would enjoy being a dad but could see himself enjoying being childfree. We did almost break up around 6 months because he admitted he has thought about having children. We continued dating and he seems pretty happy at just the idea of us for our future with pets (which I'm alright with). However part of us continuing dating is because he is unfamiliar with babies and children outside of seeing them 'in the wild.' He did admit he'll get a better idea as to whether he wants one when his siblings/friends have kids. (That's part of why I strongly believe men should work in daycare or babysit at some point of their lives before trying to have a child. I have too much of a rant about that, I won't get into it.)
He does not sound comfortable with being around any babies or children under the age of six, even though I've offered to have him over or bring him along when I see my family's/friend's kids but I really would prefer it so I could get an answehint instead of waiting. Any idea how I can actually get him near a baby or hold it or something?? Or do I really have to wait it out? My guess on his friends/family having kids would be 3-5 years from now at the EARLIEST. I don't want to waste that much time on a guy that's unsure, I do love him though.

My partner on the other hand, is more on the fence. He said at the start of dating he didn't care if he had kids or not. Slowly but surely I learned as we dated he is more on the fence. He would enjoy being a dad but could see himself enjoying being childfree. We did almost break up around 6 months because he admitted he has thought about having children. We continued dating and he seems pretty happy at just the idea of us for our future with pets (which I'm alright with).

2024.06.02 10:33 TopPomegranate4432 Octopus Energy – free £50 bonus when you switch to Octopus
Octopus Energy is offering a free £50 credit to anyone that switches their energy provider to them via referral. If you’re a business, you would get £100 for switching. You can switch no matter what type of meter you have (smart, standard or economy 7) but you’d need to switch both your gas and electricity. Another plus: no fees if you decide to switch out elsewhere at any time!
How to get your free £50 bonus with Octopus Energy:
1. Sign up using my referral link here
2. Enter your post code and answer questions about your current energy use to receive a price quote. Click "Sign me up" to see the details about the proposed tariff, then confirm the switch once you’re happy.
TIP: When getting the quote, enter your “actual” energy usage using an old bill instead of choosing the “low, medium, high” options – although, you can easily reduce your monthly direct debit payments online once your account is created. I was able to manually lower my monthly direct debit by about 70% - it’s brilliant that Octopus allows this flexibility.
3. Enter your gas and electricity meter ID numbers, so have an old bill ready as they will be on there. Octopus is brilliant at updating you via email on the whole process with what you need to do at each step.
4. Your £50 reward will be credited to your account after your first direct debit has been taken - I received mine 2 weeks after the direct debit.
My experience: I switched from Shell Energy to Octopus as Octopus worked out cheaper across the board for both gas and electricity, so the £50 switch reward was a total bonus. I initially chose the Flexible Octopus tariff, then later changed it to their even cheaper Octopus Tracker – so I would highly recommend one of these two tariffs if you’re looking to undercut other suppliers. Another plus: no fees if you decide to switch out elsewhere at any time!
Timeline: The £50 reward was applied to my account less than 2 weeks after my first direct debit was taken and the switch process was probably the smoothest I’ve ever experienced. Really impressed.

2024.06.02 10:31 Ouidgal420420 I think I ruined my partners work computer
I had off work and was drinking a beer next to my boyfriend while he was working (he works from home). I moved my arm and knocked the beer over onto his laptop and it immediately shut off. He got really stressed and I tried to make the situation better any way I could by trying to think positively. We immediately turned the laptop with the keys facing down and haven’t attempted to power it back on since this happened yesterday. He’s very well liked at his company and in a senior position so I don’t think he’ll get reprimanded and he wasn’t the one drinking. He’s worried if the IT department smells beer he’ll get reprimanded but I told him to just be honest and say that I was the one drinking & also that the IT guys probably don’t care. He’s also nervous he might have lost files if the motherboard is fried which I understand but correct me if I’m wrong the cloud backs things up like every second? Isn’t that its job? What is the worst that would happen if the files didn’t back up? How would he retrieve them again? To be clear: I feel very bad but I offered to pay for it if they make him, apologized profusely and it really was an accident. Can anyone offer any advice to assist in alleviating stress

2024.06.02 10:29 Sorry_Landscape_9675 Implementation of currency system for more realism. Good or bad?
 | Some history reference: submitted by Sorry_Landscape_9675 to ManorLords [link] [comments] Currency in 13th-century French villages in relied on a mix of coins and a barter system. Silver pennies were the most common coin, used for everyday purchases like bread or tools. Larger transactions might involve shillings (worth 12 pence) or even rarer gold coins. Taxes in the 13th century were often levied on land ownership or agricultural output. Peasants might pay a portion of their crops or a fixed amount of money to the lord or king. Villagers earned money through various means:
Just for the purpose of discussion (I hope some may not get offended as I will use example of other game but lets focus on the positive side and improvement). What do you guys think about an implementation of a more realistic economy. Before this, I have never seen any city-building game that incorporate citizen's earning (even to the last penny) as part of the bigger economy. Not until I found Ostriv. (Please correct me, if you know any other game that did). After hundred hours in Ostriv, all I can say is the dev took a brave step to use a pretty in-depth economy in the game. It feels like the closest to the actual world economy. After being the 'mayor' of Ostriv, I understand the actual world economy better than ever. Tax, saving currency, economy and trade.
If for some reason the family get poor (unemployed for so long / didnt provide value), they will leave the village for a better opportunity because they cant buy food from the market. (Yes, it is that realistic) Every citizen have their own amount of savings and you pay their salary and tax them based on that amount of money circulating in your city.
However, in late game, they will get richer and no matter how big your population is, you will have to tax them higher so that there is a tension and struggle for them to keep paying the tax and in return go outside, and work. This is why in a developed country, the tax is high and the economy is high, the income disparity is low. So they will work their ass off to pay your implemented tax. Trivial: After all, numbers on the currency is only arbitrary, it doesnt reflect anything. Which is why there are currencies with 1000 or 10000 that only values as 1 dollar or 2 for examply yen, yuan and rupiah.
Or else, it will only be the same amount of money circling the local economy and that means there is no growth.
For example, there is a big ol land (same house garden in Manor Lords), First, you can charge them house rents like in Tropico. Second, you can tax their land size, and how do you think they gonna pay the rent? Yes, by selling produce that they grow on the land back to you. And you sell the produce like cucumber, pumpkins, and etc back to the other citizens thru the market. Isnt that fun. It is a living economy system and its organic. However there are more opportunities to look at in term of the economy. Perhaps this is a hit or miss for some, but I think it is an interesting subject for the devs to look, for the purpose realism. What do you think? |
2024.06.02 10:27 Oiru Tala - May 2024
 | Last week, I had the pleasure of trying Tala the other night after seeing some recommendations from Logical-Pie-798 in that "Las Vegas foodie tourist" thread a few months ago. submitted by Oiru to aucklandeats [link] [comments] I have kept it in mind for a while and since I made a foodie friend who was visiting Auckland from her hometown in Utah (who I have now learnt has a large Samoan population). I suggested trying Tala because I have no other friends that would want to pay so much for a meal lol. We both had the $215 The Chef’s Journey menu. I have never had Samoan food before, and my foodie friend stated she has had only some Samoan food before. Anyway, similarly to my previous Paris Butter post, I will give a brief rating on the food purely based on the flavours I enjoyed (or not) given my palate, and the comments are purely on taste alone unless stated otherwise, but I might provide some extra commentary which plays into my overall experience. I'm going to be honest based on my experience. If I haven't commented on something, it's because it was forgettable, and I didn't bother writing notes about it. If you went to Pasture when it previously operated, you'll recognise the location. Tala is located in the rear part of the old Pasture that you move to for the second stage of that dinner.
Great experience because we all sort of chimed in and listened to each other and felt connected that way. Throughout the meal, Leitu was saying how most of the food reminded him of his childhood, how his grandma used to make food like that, and how it was the best Samoan food (and the only one to not make him feel stuffed, lol) he ever had. He and his wife also had quite a few different cocktails/mocktails as well and seemed to enjoy them. At the end of the night, as we were about to finish and leave, Leitu wanted a photo of him, his wife, and the staff. He then said a formal thank you in Samoan to Chef Henry. Even though I didn't understand the Samoan language, I could really feel the emotions and impact of how high of praise Leitu was giving Chef Henry. What an end to the night! Although I would personally rate the food maybe overall a 5.5-6/10 and drinks a 7/10 for my heavily Asian-influenced palate, we've established that it could be some of the best Samoan food you could experience right now if that suits you. We did not get any drinks as they were a bit pricey for my budget, but I'll have to hit Mangesh up. Luckily, I got to at least try some of his stuff (including the comped drink) since his creations were solid. Although $215 per person isn't cheap, given good company and the intimate interaction between the guests and staff, it was worth the experience (8.5/10) to me. In fact, I felt so moved by the hospitality that I went to the car and ran back inside Tala to give Mangesh a block of chocolate I made as a token of my appreciation back to them. What a long post. I hope you enjoy the read as much as I remember that night! |
2024.06.02 10:17 sexual_gourds bpd astrology hoes be crazy
Went out last night for my friend's birthday. She hosted an event at a bar and most of the attendees were her friends that she met through raving. I meet one of her acquaintances/casual friends outside and start chatting with her. She was really nice and sweet initially and my regarded ass tried my best to mirror her vibes. Self-preservation instinct. With these rave girls who are super nice when you meet them, it's a coin flip as to whether they are genuinely nice and PLUR and shit (love those girlies) or putting on an act.
After just a bit of talking she tells me how ~sweet~ she thinks I am and that I give off ~good vibes~ so I kinda just did the same to her. You know how it is. Then she asks me what sign I am. First red flag. I answer truthfully, but also remark that I don't know much about astrology but I've seen a lot of slander about my sign online. She says "omg no don't worry, male suck though" to which I agreed because I didn't know or want to talk about it any further. Shifting the conversation, I notice she's there with her boyfriend and ask how long they've been together. She says they've known each other for 11 years, were on and off, but "definitely back on this time". Second red flag.
I get whisked away inside by my friend to help her with something. Maybe she got offended because I did leave without saying anything. Eventually I come back out and find myself in conversation with crazy again. Her boyfriend pops out and we introduce ourselves to each other. I tell them how cute they are together. He offers to bring us some water from inside, and I smiled and thanked him when he handed it to me which I eventually realize is what triggered her.
Then I introduce her to my friend who recently arrived because he was on the sidelines as we were talking, saying we went to college together. She asks where we went, I said "oh we went to together". She asks what we studied, he answers, I say I double majored in English and . She then goes on a spiel about how she went to community college and would love to go back to get her degree but haven't because of the pandemic, and she took "advanced classes" while she was in CC, she'd love to go into STEM because she "wants a real challenge". She goes on to say how she's interested in both computer science and environmental sciences but she just can't pick because it's such a hard decision. She's just soo passionate about both. The fact that she was trying to one-up was not lost on me, but I was so stunned that a woman this dumb would be so bold to spew shit like this. I should've asked her her favorite pieces or authors or even the course titles of classes she took because she was clearly bullshitting and insecure, but I just said "oh cool I went to CC too then I transferred". The conversation winds down and she goes home.
As she walks away my friend and I talk about how crazy she is. Even my normally oblivious guy friend noticed she was being weird and chalked it up to being insecure about her education. He's not wrong but there's more to it than that. These types of weird interactions only seem to ever happen when I put in the effort to look good, you know, makeup and a cute outfit. Definitely hard to be pretty as an autist because people will expect you to act like how a normie should (which I'm incapable of) and other women will try to put you down because they're able to sniff out that you're different and think you're oblivious to their blows. I can identify when women sneak diss me but I've never been able to respond to them in the same sly manner they do.
We exchanged Instagrams earlier in the night, I go look and yep, she has 'empath' and some astrology shit in her bio and 95% of her pics are selfies with the snapchat devil filter. She doesn't even need them because she was actually a pretty cute mousey short white girl. I feel bad for her BF because he actually seemed quite kind, as those prone to fall victim usually are. How do people live like this? I mean I have BPD too but at least I'm hot and smart and try to hide it.

Practical strategies for effective Palestinian solidarity in the era of the IHRA, online via Zoom
The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism calls anti-Zionism antisemitic. Its use distracts from the message of protest, and punishes expressions of Palestinian identity. This workshop aims to give activists practical strategies to communicate effectively. Alternative Jewish Voices-Dayenu, and Justice for Palestine, with support from ActionStation, are hosting a workshop for organisers and activists on undertaking Palestinian solidarity in the context of the IHRA definition of anti-semitism and responding to the threat the IHRA campaign poses to our movement. This session will involve a facilitated discussion, they will then workshop with participants anti-racist responses to common IHRA challenges, followed by Q&A. Who: Kate Stone, tangata Tiriti, co-convenor of Justice for Palestine, will facilitate the conversation between: Marilyn Garson is a co-founder of Alternative Jewish Voices (AJV). She has also lived and worked in Gaza. She has co-produced AJV's briefs for government and others on the IHRA definition of antisemitism, and in June she will be attending an international conference on this and related issues. Rand Hazou is a Palestinian theatre practitioner and scholar. His research explores arts engaging with rights and social justice. In Aotearoa, he has led teaching and creative projects engaging with prison, aged-care, and street communities All Palestinian solidarity and anti-racist organisers and activists are welcome.

TLDR: my boyfriend parents are forcing him to pay them all of his wages and more every months to repay them from when they offered to pay off his mortgage for him. They are now using that blackmail him into staying at home since he is now basically financially dependent on them and threaten him to take him to court if he pays them any less then 2 grand (£2000) a month. It's clear they won't budge or even see how wrong this is since he cant even save money as all of it goes to them. We are having to run away when they go on holiday.
(I posted this in abusiverelationships but I've been told to check out here instead)
My boyfriend (23 M) is being forced to be financially dependent on his parents.
His mother pushed and pushed for him to save money to buy a house (shes a landlord and very pushy, he could never spend any money on himself growing up). Then a few months later he left his job and mortgage rates went up. His mother said to let her give him money to pay it off and just pay her back. Nothing is written in writing and its was a casual verbal agreement. The house and all the paperwork is in his name. He is living with his parents now and has someone in the house who pays rent.
So he tried to pay it off as fast as he could, lead to believe it was his decision, he paid her 2 grand a month, with all his wages and some of the other rent money. Repeat he gives to ALL his wages and only has like £600 from the tenants rent for himself.This has been going on for a year. Prior to this his mother used to make him show her his bank accounts to see what he was spending his money on. He has very little money and cannot save, he has no safety net if things go wrong.she is very critical and disapproving of any thing he does, she now doesn't like me as he is moving out with me soon.
Flash forward a year or so later and we are ready to move out, into the house he owns. His mother has been strongly against this saying all sorts of excuses, e.g who will look after the house when i go on holiday. She's found out we are planning to move out and shes blackmailed him, saying that if he moves out she will put a charge on the house since he hasn't paid her back the money yet. this will be very unlikely due to lack of evidence and nothing in writing but the threat is still there. She basically told him that she has no pension and that she needs this 2 grand a week because she wants to go on on 3 month cruises and very expensive parties and gigs most weekends.she is a very rich lady and has lots of money hence why she could afford this.But then give him a hard time for enjoying life, going out with his friends etc and shouting at him when he comes home. The amount of awkward toxic dinners after we have had a lovely day out is awful, trying to shame him for leaving her. She treats his money as if it is her money. If she could have his way he wouldn't leave the house and would be fully dependent on her.
His car failed his MOT this week, really really badly. He cannot afford to get a new one right now as he has no savings despite that fact he technically has two incomes as he gives it all to his parents. they wont accept any less money a month and the threat looms over our heads. they said he could scrap his car and go on their insurance for a year but then he has no lack of freedom and how can we even move out if he cannot have a car? Because then he will have to depend on them for transport so even more control. When he confronted them for how much they take from him and them threatening him if he moves out, they are blaming me for "putting ideas" in his head and saying he doesn't mean all this, failing to see that they are taking too much and making him financially dependent on them. They act as if they are doing him a favour but really he is in more debt now than the mortgage e.g use to pay 600 for mortgage but now pays 2000 every month. He is being strong at the moment and really not budging after being brainwashing into thinking this is normal all these years.
They are going on a months holiday in a few months so as soon as they go he is leaving, going, gone to the house he owns. i just don't know how to cope in these last few months before we are finically free of them. They want him to be financially dependent on them so they can control him and tell him what to do.
I've suggested to him to stay strong, not give them two grand but instead an amount of money that is suitable for him current needs of buying a car and not budging on the boundaries of "no, i will not give you my entire wage". I know people have said "are you sure you want to be with him" etc but yes, I love him and with not not his parents, they don't define him.

(I posted this in abusiverelationships but I've been told to check out here instead)
My boyfriend (23 M) is being forced to be financially dependent on his parents.
His mother pushed and pushed for him to save money to buy a house (shes a landlord and very pushy, he could never spend any money on himself growing up). Then a few months later he left his job and mortgage rates went up. His mother said to let her give him money to pay it off and just pay her back. Nothing is written in writing and its was a casual verbal agreement. The house and all the paperwork is in his name. He is living with his parents now and has someone in the house who pays rent.
So he tried to pay it off as fast as he could, lead to believe it was his decision, he paid her 2 grand a month, with all his wages and some of the other rent money. Repeat he gives to ALL his wages and only has like £600 from the tenants rent for himself.This has been going on for a year. Prior to this his mother used to make him show her his bank accounts to see what he was spending his money on. He has very little money and cannot save, he has no safety net if things go wrong.she is very critical and disapproving of any thing he does, she now doesn't like me as he is moving out with me soon.
Flash forward a year or so later and we are ready to move out, into the house he owns. His mother has been strongly against this saying all sorts of excuses, e.g who will look after the house when i go on holiday. She's found out we are planning to move out and shes blackmailed him, saying that if he moves out she will put a charge on the house since he hasn't paid her back the money yet. this will be very unlikely due to lack of evidence and nothing in writing but the threat is still there.

2024.06.02 09:54 magraoel7 Trying to understad the body language of my sister's friend
A few weeks ago my middle sister came to visit me with her friend, I live with my mother and my younger sister
Her friend is really pretty and extroverted, according to my sister, she only dated one guy and got quite traumatized with the relationship, with made her not want to date anyone else anymore.
Later at that night, while we were having dinner, my mother started saying she was beautiful and asking her some personal questions, like if she planned to have kids in the near future, she said she never wants kids, but could change her mind after 35 (she is 25 now btw).
But let's talk about her body language, which made me a bit confused...
They stayed for 7 days, and one thing I noticed is that she constantly avoided eye contact with me when we were talking with each other, she would either look somewhere else or look at my sister, but for a few moments when I was paying attention to my sister or my mother talking, I could noticed that she quickly looked at me. She also never said my name, always asking my sister like "does he want a gum?", instead of offering me directly, but that's ok I guess since we don't have any intimacy.
In one moment though, I was right at her side and instead of asking directly to me, she looked at my sister asking her to ask to me, even my sister said: "Why don't you ask to him? He is just at your side"
I was wondering if I made something to make her feel uncomfortable or she just didn't like me, anyway, my younger sister heard mother talking with the girl saying how me and her would be a great couple and that I never had a girlfriend (yes, my mother actually thought this was a great thing to say...), and the girl said she wasn't looking for a relationship right now, but could change her mind later.
According to my sister, she only had this one boyfriend (who traumatized her, treating her badly), and that a lot of guys give her gifts but she doesn't want anyone
Another thing is that every time my sister came to talk to me in my room, she would come together, sometimes just to stay there, then she started showing me her own pictures in her cellphone, comparing and asking in which one she looked better, showing her with different hair and showing her family
In another moment, while she was talking with my younger sister about relationships, she started talking about age gaps, she said she would date someone up to 29 years old, but said 32 would be too old for her (I am 30 btw, and I was right at her side, don't know if it meant anything)
Anyway, she gave me 2 hugs before they left and a few days later I followed her in Instagram, she followed me back but didn't show much interest when I messaged her, I asked what she thought about the city and other stuff, she didn't respond for 2 days and I deleted the message thinking I was bothering her, but she noticed it and apologized saying she was busy, I then just said some more stuff, gave a goodbye and stopped talking with her.
Based on all that, what can be said about her body language? Did she show any interest on me, or was just avoiding me to not give the wrong impression?
Despite her being very attractive, can't say I am really interested in her, we have a few things in common but I am introverted and she is very extroverted, my younger sister says we matched each other, but I don't think so.
Anyway, I am just asking because her behavior was quite weird sometimes, also think it's an opportunity to understand women's body language better, I admit I am terrible at it, in the past I had girls who were interested in me, but I couldn't notice until it was too late, and girls I thought were interested, but were not.

2024.06.02 09:44 SteamDaBroccoli WIBTA if I asked my GF to start pitching in for rent and doing more around the house (despite her not technically living there)?
For about 2 years already I (M20) and my GF (F20) of 3 years have followed about the following routine:
I wake up, go to work. She wakes up and leaves for classes (could be as early as 8 am and as late as 2 pm, depending on her schedule). Then after her classes she goes home (her home, to her parent's house), has dinner there and comes back around 6-7 pm. On the weekends she is at my place 24/7.
For these entire 2 years I have paid all of the rent, done all the cleaning, bought all the groceries and everything else that is needed to be done around the house (now remembering, I even paid for her parking pass that's needed for the apartment). I never really asked her to do any of that, though she hasn't offered either.
I am right now out of the state for a trip (during which she usually stays at my place, she has a spare and comes and goes into the apt as she wants) and got hit with a rent increase notice via email. I had some time to reconsider everything and thought that after coming back I'd like to ask her to do the following:
Please don't take anything I said here as a jab against my GF, she is a wonderful person, I just never talked this out with her before.
EDIT: Realized it could be important. She has no job and no expenses. She receives a decent allowance from her parents and all of her expenses (gas/school tuition/food/medical/etc) are all covered

- Pitch in $150 a month of rent (the rent is $1900)

- Buy small amount of groceries (less than $20 a month)

2024.06.02 09:39 throw-away-262627363 AITAH for genuinely hating my sister for the way she treats our mother?
this is a long one so strap in
For years now, my older sister has always put herself as a victim for everything. My sister comes from a different dad than I do and we both now have the same step dad. Growing up was hard for both of us, my sisters biological dad being an addict and mine being a deadbeat.
My mom had a ridiculously hard life as well, but turned her life around as soon as she found out she was pregnant with my sister. She got clean, got a job, etc. During this time of my mother getting clean, my sister stayed with our aunt, my mom's sister, for around three months. I was staying with my biological father. I'd like to mention as well that my biological father did not treat my mother right at all. He would often try to seem like the better parent by buying me expensive gifts and taking me out to places, trying to win the title of the favorite parent while talking about how bad my mom was for coloring her hair and having tattoos.
When I was still little, I had something disgusting happen to me by someone in my family, so the attention was on me for a little while. My mom still went out of her way to make sure my sister was still being given attention too, fearing that she would feel alone and confused.
After the mess of this stuff finally settled down and my mom won custody over me, my mom met my stepdad and we all moved out of the city and into a nice house. My parents tried to give us everything we never got to experience, nice family vacations to places we'd never been, renaissance fairs, bigger birthday parties, all that stuff. I've always been incredibly grateful, mostly for my mother. This woman had been abused and mistreated a majority of her life and she still somehow finds a way to be the most supportive and kindest parent out there. I respect her for everything that she did for me and my sister. My sister, on the other hand, treats her like garbage. My mom has tried everything to get through to her, tried to communicate with her, relate with her, take her out to places, and my sister literally does not care. Once, my mom tried talking to her about her past and she literally said "no one cares about what happened to you, mom."
She makes up these scenarios where my mom and step dad apparently abused her, when really they were standard punishments like taking her phone away when she did something she wasn't supposed to when she was a teenager. I need to clarify here that she is 29 years old now and still acting like this. Even when she dropped out of college and asked to go to beauty school, my parents understood and paid for her to go. She then told everyone thay they "forced her to go" when she decided that she didn't like it.
My sister never cared about anyone truly. She posts online about how caring and compassionate she is, how much she loves her husband and our mom and dad, but when it came to reality, she basically turned the other way. No matter how upset or angry I got about this, she would either laugh at me or completely shut me down and walk away.
She even posted a status on Facebook on mother's day wishing our aunt a happy mother's day instead of our mother. My aunt, just to mention, despises me because I was a frustrating child, I think around 11 or 12, and holds it against me, a now 25 year old. My mother no longer has a relationship with her due to that.
My step dad ended up getting a really good job and had to move across the country with my mom, so they had decided to let my sister and I continue living in this house while paying them a small amount of rent. We weren't prepared enough to move out on our own at the time yet, so this was a very kind offer that the both of us and her husband took up. The house is big and we wouldn't be paying for utilities, so it was an incredibly generous thing for them to do. All my sister would do is talk about how my parents "forced" her to stay in this house with me and how gross and disgusting the house was. There was nothing wrong with the house and no one forced her to stay in the house at all. It was completely her choice, I was there when she accepted the option.
Our parents gave us a whole house. An entire house to live in with rent lower than anywhere else. And she was ungrateful. Angry, even.
My mother had surgery two weeks ago and everyone messaged her, wishing her a speedy recovery, even my friends, and my sister didn't message her about it at all. Instead, she messaged my mom about finances. On the day of her surgery. My stepdad, who usually stays out of drama stuff, was so angry that he messaged my sister calling her out on how hurtful this was. Her excuse was that she "had a lot on her mind and forgot." My mom was so hurt that she hasn't been responding to my sister's messages as of late.
Now my sister is posting on Facebook about how no one understands her and how she's tired of having to explain herself? My mom has felt heartbroken and dejected about this and doesn't understand why my sister is acting like this. She's scared that if she were to ask about this and make her own reddit story, everyone would call her the asshole because she likely failed as a parent. I genuinely don't think that my mother failed, I can't understand why my sister is like this and I actually hate her for it. Am I the asshole?

2024.06.02 09:24 Ill-Improvement-8248 [NY] How do I deal with a tough co-worker without getting our boss involved?
I work at a small publication with 3 other writers, including another senior staff member (SSM), who does the editing. I do the writing. There's no HR.
For context, I was hired by the editorial director (ED) about six months ago, with the intention of broadening the appeal of the magazine (which is very niche). ED hired me, because I have 10+ years of experience as an editowriter at big name pubs (think Vogue, the Atlantic, the New Yorker, etc.). I only mention this, because SSM has been the most difficult, nitpicky editor I've had by MILES. It's honestly baffling that I'm currently working on a seventh edit for SSM when I've never gotten more than three rounds of edits for literal cover stories.
The strange thing is that we're genuinely friendly! However, other people have noticed that he's overly critical with me, and they've told me they're confused by his behavior, because he's usually a pretty lax editor. I had to loop in the ED once, because SSM keeps trying to nuke my pieces. He gets hung up on the smallest details, but, in his mind, they're big enough to undermine the entire piece and have it shelved altogether. Every round of edits, he'll invent a new micro-problem. At this point, it feels like he just doesn't want any of my work to ever see the light of day.
I've published very little in the past several months, and it's really taken a toll on my mental health. I'm stressed, self-conscious about my work, and feel like I'm just not good at my job. The only reason I haven't quit is because this job is a stable source of monthly income, and there are pretty much zero other places with a similar position. I'm at my wits end though and even recently mentioned this to ED.
ED offered to speak with SSM, though I doubt it would be effective. ED actually relies on SSM a lot and 99% of the time trusts his judgment, since SSM has been here the longest. I guess he's probably a little territorial, but I know from our coworkers that SSM also takes critique very poorly and has a vindictive streak, especially if he thinks you've gone over his head. So it seems like getting ED to talk to him would definitely make our working relationship even worse. I'm also concerned, because I'm unsure of how this situation can be fixed, given that he's the only one senior enough to edit me. Given his tenure, logically, I'd be the more likely one to get fired, right? Is there any other way to go about this? Especially knowing that he'd just deny everything if I talked to him about it?

2024.06.02 09:22 FL4W3D369 AITA for not telling my mother why I was going No Contact?
I (39f) sent my mother (Rita) a FB message telling her I needed to go No Contact for a month with very little detail.
The dynamic with Rita went awry several years ago after dealing with her opioid addiction, the roles kind of reversed and I felt more like the parent.
Rita got clean shortly after dating an old co-worker (while still married); after separating from her husband, she told me that she couldn't afford an apartment; I offered to move with her, to split the rent and even bought her a bed, living room furniture and a kitchenette. I had high hopes we'd start getting along more.
Rita insisted I meet her new guy (Clint) again, but this time as an adult. Let me preface this by saying, 10 year old me was in the right to "accidentally" spit chocolate milk at this guys face while he told me a joke.
He was creepy and tried too hard then and still does now.
I visited her new at Clint's place and while there he would (jokingly) make comments about wanting to see me in a bikini or me seeing him in a speedo. He would tell me he loves me 10-20 times within 5 minutes and joke about leaving Rita for me when she was within ear shot; she never said anything to him about these.
During quick polite goodbye hugs he would hold it for too long and try to kiss my neck, I continuously pulled my shoulders up to cover my neck and try to get away but he'd kiss my neck or ear. I told both of them numerous times I was not comfortable with it and after 4 visits and numerous complaints to my mom, it finally stopped but he labelled me as an ice queen.
Rita was making my nephew a birthday dinner and Clint came over to our house. He slapped my ass and cupped his hand before removing it; my nephew was outraged (so was I) and Rita laughed when she heard about it.
Before I moved back to my home town, I went to visit my mom and Clint with my dog, Buddy. Clint's son (Wes) was over and I felt safe coming back over for dinner because his son is a good guy; big mistake.
While I was sitting there listening to music with Rita and Wes, Clint comes back into the living room and sits on my lap and starts 'wiggling' around inappropriately- I told him to stop but he keeps doing it, I demand he stops and try to shove him off of me and he laughed; but he wasn't the only one laughing, Rita was too. I stared at her for 3 seconds and she dragged him off of me. I stood up, he sat down and I rudely said "you're lucky I didn't kick you in the balls, I should have", his response was "oh really?!" then I replied that I should have and his response is that he was only joking around and how I need to take a joke. I had told him numerous times to stop and he flat out refused to and only wiggled more. Rita reached for his hand, still laughing and said how "silly' he was and how that's one thing she likes about him. I sat closer to Wes and was going to stay until I hear him address Buddy (my dog) and say "Hey Buddy, tell your mommy she needs to grow a sense of humor"; with that, I grabbed Buddy's leash, my purse and started to leave when he shouts out "Did I OFFEND you?!", I screamed back at him and slammed the door behind us.
I've told Rita that I don't feel comfortable with him around, especially while he's drinking; she tried to assure me that he'd never do anything to me but said she'd talk to him. I moved to another town and made it abundantly clear that I do not want anything to do with him. I will be civil for her benefit but he gives me the creeps and is incredibly inappropriate with everyone - his daughter has lost friends because of his actions before.
Rita came down a couple weeks ago and took Clint to her friends place then we went out for mother's day; she asked if I would mind if she picked him up to cut time off her trip home - I understood and said sure. TLDR, he forced his way into my new home after I said I was not inviting them both inside and she was informed that he is NOT welcome here.
Rita recently went to a friends, had a few drinks and drove home, I was incredibly worried and told her so, to which she responded aggressively saying that she isn't stupid.
She sent numerous aggressive voice messages on Facebook, I decided to stop responding then Clint texted me, strongly suggested that I reach out to her because she's upset. I responded by saying 'Friends don't let friends drink and drive' and ignored him too. His unread response was that "she only had 2, if she drank more, trust me, I would have cabbed it." The math wasn't mathing, she said that they stayed there for 3 hours; I had called 2 hours after they got home and she was smashed, she definitely had more than what they let on and I do not trust him or his judgement because he lost his license because of a DUI. The morning I went No Contact she sent me messages assuring me that she was fine and that she wouldn't drink and drive; I refrained from responding.
Three days of no contact , I call her and we are civilized but both on edge, our conversation was very brief but I wanted to reach out - she is my mother after all and I would ideally like to have a relationship with her.
I messaged Rita and told her I need to go No Contact for 30 days to work things out professionally and mentally. She facetimed me 3 times, called twice, messaged me on FB and left voice messages on both my answering machine and Facebook. Comments ranging from "No contact from me or everyone?", "I'm really worried about you" and "please call me back". I responded and said "This is not about you, this is about me, please respect my wishes".
Am I the asshole for not telling her exactly why, being upset that she's going to my inner circle to try and find out what's going on and not being able to let go of her past and current short comings?
I'm on a waitlist for a therapist because I would like to build a better relationship with her and let the resentment go. I don't expect her to change but I need resources and need to learn how to set effective boundaries to act as stepping stones for future healthier conversations and interactions and hope that this break will help release the tension.

When I needed to jumpstart my car the other day, it took me just a few minutes to get everything connected and running smoothly. The 525 cranking amps and 350 cold cranking amps really make a difference in those crucial moments. One thing that really stood out to me was the easy-to-read digital display and ON/OFF switch.

Firstly, the AGM Super Cycle technology is truly remarkable. Unlike traditional batteries, these super cycle batteries can handle occasional or frequent partial discharges without any issues. Their smaller size and reduced weight make them an attractive choice for those who are particular about the battery size. However, there are a few drawbacks that I noticed too. While the battery is designed to prevent sulfation during deep discharge, one has to be careful with frequent deep discharges, as it could reduce the battery's life span. Also, the slightly higher voltage during recharge can strain some battery connections. Overall, I am quite impressed with this battery's performance. It has proven to be reliable, easy to use, and quite efficient, even with the occasional drawbacks. 🔗Interstate 12V 26Ah AGM Battery with Nut and Bolt Terminal for Universal Fithttps://preview.redd.it/m5nmxcdtz34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=98895dd673a8fc68f856376907ac3bc687b4d679 I've been using this Interstate Batteries 12V 26Ah SLA/AGM battery in my daily life for quite some time now, and I must say, it's been a game-changer! .

As someone who relies on jump starters frequently, I was excited to see if this one would live up to the hype. The battery itself is a maintenance-free AGM technology, which means I no longer have to worry about adding acid or water. I found this to be a huge time-saver, especially when I was in a rush. Additionally, it was important to note that this is a replacement battery and not a complete starter pack, so I had to use my existing cables and hardware. One standout feature of this battery is the charging speed. It quickly charges and then switches to maintain mode, protecting the battery from overcharging. This was particularly helpful when I was using it on a daily basis. The sturdiness of the battery was also impressive. It had a nice heavy case that gave me confidence in the battery's durability.

(M5) for quite some time now, and I must say, it's been a game-changer. One of the main highlights I've experienced is the ability to handle repeated 100% discharge without any worries. The Super Cycle battery's new paste in the positive plates allows for slightly less sensitivity to softening. Another aspect I appreciate is the significant reduction in sulfation during deep discharge, thanks to new additives in the electrolyte. However, I have noticed that the weight of this battery seems to be fractionally more compared to its standard Victron counterparts. In terms of downsides, the battery's dimensions and weight are slightly larger and heavier than the standard Deep Cycle AGM batteries, which might be a concern for those with limited storage space or weight restrictions. Overall, the Victron Energy BAT412025081 has proven to be a reliable and efficient solution for my needs, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. 🔗Affordable, Portable Sealed Lead-Acid Batteryhttps://preview.redd.it/8pdhs0fuz34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=19434efd9714ef53720edf50e2f97eaca51577e7 The Mighty Max battery has been a game changer in my experience.

One of them is the weight; it is a bit on the heavier side, which may pose inconvenience when transporting it. Additionally, while the battery offers a decent amount of capacity, the performance under heavy load conditions can be somewhat inconsistent at times. In summary, the Mighty Max battery, despite its minor flaws, has been a reliable and long-lasting addition to my device setup. Its portability could be improved slightly, but overall, I am quite pleased with my purchase. 🔗Mighty Max ML15-12 12V 15AH SLA Battery for Rechargeable Deviceshttps://preview.redd.it/0qj57usuz34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ec119cc6c90ecb78e548f7cee05f785d28dcdef5 I've been enjoying using the Mighty Max Battery Ml15-12 in my daily life.

2024.06.02 09:15 curlyfries1229 30 and clueless. How do I begin? Have I already begun?
Hey yall. 30F here who has been feeling listless and directionless for a long period of my life.
I work a job that I like enough as a finance person at a non-profit, but it may as well be data entry. I am rarely very busy, but my position is crucial enough when the work does pick up and the environment is really great. I’m in office two days a week which I usually save most of my work for, to use as my “busy” days.
Otherwise, I went to college later in life (started when I was 22 i think) and I always wanted to go to school for media and editing. For my whole life, I wanted to work with audio and video in some way. But because I was an “adult learner” and was working a fulltime job to put myself through college, I only had the options to take night courses that were “adult learner” focused (this was all before online classes). I got my degree in economics and have worked various client relations/account executive/data and finance jobs. I have no idea how I got here or how to pivot out of it at this point.
Since I now kind of have the time with my current workload not being overwhelming, I am realizing how little I do with my free time and how little motivation I have to strive for a more fulfilling life. I do have major depressive disorder and will likely soon find out what relief medication may offer to this mindset.
But I am always stuck wondering: how can I fill my time with something meaningful? I have always desired a more creative outlet. My partner and I explore food and wine and enjoy the culinary scene, that is just about the only “creative” hobby I can think of. I want so badly to figure out how to develop skills in audio editing/engineering and video editing but because I didn’t go to school for it, I get so nervous to be 100 steps behind everyone else in an already saturated field. I am also scared I just don’t actually care for any of it as much as I tell myself I do. I don’t think I actually know what I want to do or how to take any steps forward at all. I have ruminated on this for so long and always come up empty.
Looking for any advice on how to fill my days with more meaningful moments and begin to work towards a more fulfilling and satisfying career. Thank you for reading!

2024.06.02 09:13 treeh9m5 How can I go about sending an immediate resignation letter? I feel really bad about it.
Hi all. I have been working at a library for 6 months under my city. Unfortunately I need to quit immediately because I don’t feel safe there anymore after a male library patron has taken it upon himself to make me his target. Long story short, he has a criminal record for being violent, found my social medias and phone number and harassed me via text despite me politely rejecting him but for some reason he didn’t believe me when I said I have a boyfriend. This has been going on since January, but I tried to let it go since I couldn’t afford to quit my job. My breaking point with him was this Friday when he was using a computer (the section of the library where I work) and was getting upset when something wasn’t working and he decided to point directly at me and tell me repeatedly that “its my fault” his computer wasn’t working and that I was doing this to him. I didn’t include every single detail (which I can if anyone cares) but ultimately I was like yeah… this man isn’t okay and I don’t feel safe. I called out on Saturday and planned to send in a letter Monday morning as soon as the library director comes in. Luckily, I had an interview for a different city department that week and they actually called me back the same day all this occurred and offered me the position. Obviously I’m going to take it, but now I need advice on how to go about leaving my current job. My issue is that both jobs are under the city system and I would basically just be transferring, but I can’t stick out the two weeks here before transferring there. I plan on mentioning the new role in the letter, but I’m worried that if I quit immediately they’ll remove my name from the employee list even though I would just be starting somewhere else soon after. I’m not sure how to go about asking to keep me in the system when I’m not staying for two weeks. Also, I’ve never sent an immediate notice before and I feel bad because in my section of the library, it’s only me, my supervisor and another coworker but she just went on a month long vacation last week so I would be basically abandoning my supervisor to work alone. My coworkers here have been fairly good people and I have no issues with them so it sucks to do this. And please I would like no judgement on the reason why I am deciding to quit. I mentioned that I didn’t include every single detail but I’m glad to elaborate if anyone wants to know. Anyways, thanks for any advice you may have!

 | submitted by GhoulGriin to u/GhoulGriin [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/1i4a7xr6z34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a0baaab47fe254f1db816bcda1cdef66f505ed15 Welcome to our product review roundup for Agm Airsoft. Get ready to delve into the world of airsoft! We've carefully curated this collection of reviews to provide you with an engaging and informative read that covers everything from the features and benefits of each product to how it compared to other options in the market. By the end of this article, you'll be well-equipped to make an informed decision on which Agm Airsoft product is the perfect fit for you. The Top 5 Best Agm Airsoft
Reviews🔗Safe and Stylish Airsoft Full Face Maskhttps://preview.redd.it/q9i3w347z34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0ff878e3507f2fd8aa0aeab4e02e70d345aebb30 I recently got the NINAT Airsoft Mask and it's been a game-changer for my Airsoft and survival games. One of the biggest pros of this mask is that it's made of high-quality, safe materials like polycarbonate and TPU plastic, which makes it incredibly durable and breathable. I appreciate how the elastic head strap can be easily adjusted to fit my head perfectly, and the foam around the eyes and ears adds a comforting touch. I also love the security and stability this mask provides - the visor shading is excellent, and the gray single lens works just fine. Plus, the louvered vents help draw warm air out of the mask interior. I've heard some people complain that it's not the most aesthetically pleasing mask out there, but for me, it's all about performance, and this mask truly delivers. It looks cool on the field, protects my face during intense games, and it's ideal for a variety of activities like Airsoft/competition, survival games, outdoor parties, or cosplay. However, there's one thing to note - I wasn't able to use this mask for shooting high-speed bb's at close range (310FPS within 5 meters) since it doesn't have the ANSI Z87.1 impact rating. So, if you're planning on engaging in activities with bbs shooting, make sure to protect your eyes with another, more suitable mask. All in all, the NINAT Airsoft Mask is a great product that's ideal for many different scenarios - just be sure to use it responsibly! 🔗Airsoft Tactical Paintball Helmet with Dual-Mode Maskhttps://preview.redd.it/enrb5lp7z34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4cc8c1190575e5447eda0c96987c39954f6d61b1 Trying out the Airsoft Tactical Helmet was like stepping into a game of camouflage. With its full face tactical mask and goggles, it felt like a superhero cape wrapped around my head. The soft TPU vent mask design made everything a breeze, as it protected my face while also comfortably fitting. My favorite feature? The mini fan system! It effortlessly helped to reduce fog and maintain crystal-clear vision while I was darting around playing Airsoft. Even better, the unique dual-mode mask wearing design made it versatile, allowing me to switch between the elastic headband and connecting it to my tactical helmet for full-on protection. Now, let's talk about the challenges. While the helmet covers a lot of ground, it can be on the heavier side. And sometimes, depending on the game's intensity, you might feel a bit limited in hearing people around you – so, keep an ear out! Overall, the Airsoft Tactical Helmet proved to be an excellent companion for those living life on an action-packed battlefield. It's a true game-changer, hiding in plain sight, waiting to gear up for the next mission. 🔗Upgraded 8.4V NiMH 1600mAh Airsoft Battery for CQB SMG Gunshttps://preview.redd.it/zc5kee48z34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=507f9cf4064bd21b15afdb68825b2c7b741bad49 In my quest to find the perfect battery for my HK Licensed Airsoft Ump45 Gearbox CQB SMG, I stumbled upon the Mighty Max Battery. This convenient little stick pack was an instant game-changer for my airsoft gun, providing power and longevity beyond my expectations. The ease of use and no need to fully discharge before charging simply added more minutes of action to my playtime. One notable feature of the Mighty Max Battery is its versatility, easily fitting into most 8.4 volt 1600 mAh NiMH Flat battery packs. The high-performing Specialty cell type ensures that I can enjoy consistent power without burning out. However, the 12-volt size does require a bit of consideration, as not all devices may be compatible. Nevertheless, the benefits of this battery far outweigh any minor inconveniences. While there were no pre-existing reviews on this product, the Mighty Max Battery remains a hidden gem among airsoft enthusiasts, offering a powerful and reliable solution at an affordable price, providing long-lasting intensity for all your Airsoft Gearbox CQB SMG needs. 🔗High-Performance AGM Airsoft Battery for Enhanced Gameplayhttps://preview.redd.it/1zgkb7q8z34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4e68fbc948f25bcb87da8d470f4956762a9d28d2 I recently had the chance to try out the Mighty Max 9.6V 1600mAh NiMH Battery for my airsoft gun, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations! The compatibility with various guns on the market was impressive, and it even fits my budget without breaking the bank. I loved how easy it was to operate with no fuss, and no need to fully discharge before charging. One thing that stood out to me is the advanced NiMH battery technology, which eliminates battery memory effects. I noticed that the battery could be charged anytime, without any hassle. The special design for airsoft guns enabled me to gain power intensity and a longer running time, which was a massive plus. However, there were a couple of downsides. Despite its easy operation, I found that charging the battery at random times wasn't always the best idea. Another minor issue was the lack of instructions on how to care for the battery properly. Overall, I highly recommend this battery for airsoft enthusiasts looking for a reliable and long-lasting option. Its superior technology and ease of use make it a top choice compared to NiCd battery packs. 🔗High-Performance Gens Ace 1200mAh 2S1P 7.4V 25C Airsoft Battery with Tamiya Plughttps://preview.redd.it/u3ead149z34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=37ada7fba621d58f7ff0e70e9009c08ca2272709 When I first received the Gens Ace 1200mAh 2S1P 7.4V 25C Airsoft Battery with Tamiya Plug, I was excited to see the high quality and attention to detail in the product. This battery boasts excellent performance and durability, making it the perfect addition to any airsoft enthusiast's arsenal. One of my favorite features of this battery is its efficient and long-lasting performance, thanks to its low internal resistance and high cycle life. The Gens Ace battery pack is designed for various scales of RC models, ensuring it can handle even the most intense airsoft situations. However, there were a few drawbacks I encountered. Although the battery pack is advertised as suitable for FedEx Ground ONLY with no P. O. Boxes, I found that notifying customers of this limitation upfront would have been helpful to avoid any confusion. Additionally, the Gens Ace C ratings being 20-90% lower than other brands may lead some users to doubt its effectiveness. In the end, I would recommend the Gens Ace 1200mAh 2S1P 7.4V 25C Airsoft Battery with Tamiya Plug to anyone looking for a high-quality, reliable airsoft battery with a distinct edge in performance and value.

2024.06.02 09:05 Temporary_House4852 Meeting a Congregation
Hail you all, and hail myself.
I recently made the jump to join TST, and all signs pointed to meeting my local congregation. I finally got the chance today and it was certainly a good time. I was impressed with the genuineness of the people, bordering crass and offensive! Truly cool group. It was nice to feel welcomed, but also "checked at the door". I respect it because I'm pretty forward myself.
But the chance to meet them came from their efforts in hosting a booth at the local Pride event, and I didnt feel it was proper to take up too much of their time with questions during a fun celebration. Our congregation's website doesn't have further info on group activities or meet ups, and only leads to an email to contact our leadership. It seems like it really just consists of merch promotion and sparse events spread out by months at a time.
I'm eager to learn more, and connect with like-minded individuals who can challenge my personal philosophies for mutual growth.
I've seen a lot of online meetings for groups, but I've gotta say, it's a messy start with no clear path on how to become more involved.
Would the group mind sharing their stories of how they undertook the pursuit of knowledge in history and traditions? I could use some hype and direction because I really am eager to grow alongside this group.
If it helps, I actively pursue my own philanthropy through music and Recovery. These people tend to be my tribe, and I am 3 years into a project that I really hope becomes it's own, unaffiliated creative way of giving back to communities that could use the love and support that connecting through music brings to our lives.
I don't want to push my stuff onto others, and would only offer facilitating fun meet ups based on interest from others. How would you guys go about getting to know the members on an individual basis? And where can I begin in truly educating myself on practices and beliefs that go beyond reading the tenets and easily available website information?
Feels like I could have saved myself some headaches if I found this group sooner. You all inspire me to be better every day just by seeing the rational discussions and noble pursuits you undertake in your individual lives. Especially seeing the current strife with the many departures, as a new member. That would have put me off to the church if it weren't for the sheer level of empathy this group practices under stress.

Reviews🔗Under Armour Stellar G2 Tactical Boots: Breathable, Waterproof, and Comfortable for Long Shiftshttps://preview.redd.it/kwodysjnx34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=65d7d7fc3e1ac79c31166f9ee1df237ac5be4787 Imagine slogging through a muddy construction site or trekking through a wet forest without feeling a single drop of water on your feet. That's the promise of the Under Armour Stellar G2 Waterproof Tactical Boots. I've tried these babies myself and let me tell you, they've been a game-changer. First things first, the outer material is 100% leather, giving these boots a rugged, durable feel that can withstand any challenge I throw at them. But the real standout feature? The waterproofing. I'll admit, I was skeptical at first, but these boots kept my feet dry in the dampest conditions, making them a reliable companion on any outdoor excursion. Now, I did notice a little issue with the traction on these bad boys. They tend to slip on some surfaces, which can be a bit of a hazard in certain situations.
