 | I have found ZERO seed oil free tortillas and so I learned to make my own. So easy!!! I use spelt flour YUM! And then it’s just salt, butter and a little bit of warm water to form the dough. Takes a few minutes to roll out and then “cook.” submitted by nocturnal_sunn to StopEatingSeedOils [link] [comments] Anyhow, just a little encouragement if you like tortillas🤍🤍🤍 |
2024.05.19 03:03 Definition_Novel Antanas Bimba Jr. - An American Lithuanian Revolutionary.
 | In July of 1913, the newly-arrived to America Antanas Bimba Jr., a then 19-year old Catholic ethnic Lithuanian immigrant, would later become one of the most important political figures of the Communist movement in the United States. submitted by Definition_Novel to BalticSSRs [link] [comments] Antanas Bimba Jr. was born in Lithuania in the village of Valeikiškis, in the Rokiškis district of Lithuania near the Latvian border, on January 22nd, 1894. His father, Antanas Bimba Sr., was a blacksmith and peasant farmer. Antanas Jr was one of six surviving children of his father’s second wife. The Bimba family were proud Lithuanians and devout Catholics, something that annoyed much of the Czarist government whom sought to impose Russian Orthodoxy and Russian language on Lithuania. This drove many Lithuanians, including the Bimbas, to immigrate to the United States and other countries in search of a better life. During the summer of 1913, at age 19, Antanas arrived in Burlington, New Jersey on a steamship with an older brother. He and his brother were then employed at a steel mill for only $7 a week and worked 60 hours weekly. Due to unbearable working conditions, Antanas and his family relocated, and he and his brother took up another job in Rumford, Maine at a pulp mill. Although conditions there were marginally better than the steel mill job, Antanas became sick from chest pains due to inhalation of toxic fumes, and was forced to leave the job and seek yet another one. This experience of being an immigrant and being exploited for his labor had a profound effect on Bimba, and it drove his interest in Marxism. After leaving the milling industry, he got his next job as a truck driver, becoming acquainted with Lithuanian American socialists in the process. His first revolutionary achievement was helping in making a co-operative bakery for rye bread, a staple food of the Lithuanian community. In becoming a socialist, he abandoned Catholicism, preferring agnosticism, what he called “religious freethinking”, not wishing to tie himself to organized religion. He later became an atheist as he got older in age. In May of 1916, Antanas attended college at Valparaiso University, a small private college that became popular in attendance with members of the Lithuanian immigrant community in Valparaiso, Indiana. He attended there until 1919, earning a degree in history and sociology, and was able to pay for his classes by tending to a Lithuanian owned library in the town. In the summers he worked in a wire factory and machine shop in Cleveland, Ohio. Bimba than became active in the Lithuanian Socialist Federation (LSF) , which served as a branch organization of the Socialist Party of America, with the LSF catering to Lithuanian immigrant populations (both primarily ethnic Lithuanian Catholics as well as Litvak Jews.) He spent his time in the LSF writing numerous Lithuanian-language publications for them, as well as traveling to Lithuanian immigrant communities in cities in the US delivering Marxist political lectures amongst Lithuanian laborers in steel manufacturing cities like Gary, Indiana and Chicago, Illinois. His first brush against the capitalist legal system came in 1918, it is not fully clear as to whether Bimba was arrested for his trade unionist and socialist beliefs, or his objection to World War One at the time. However, Lithuanian-American historians generally contend his arrest was a result of expressing all of those opinions publicly. Eventually he was released and charges were dropped. In summer 1919, he got a job as editor of “Darbas” (ENG: “Labor”) the Lithuanian newspaper of the ACWA (Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America). On September 1st 1919, the Socialist Party of America fractured into rival organizations, mainly amongst Social Democrat vs Marxist lines. The Marxist faction became the early iteration of the Communist Party of America, which the LSF backed, and Bimba was quick to support the CPUSA as a result. Bimba later became the editor of another Lithuanian American Marxist newspaper, this time “Kova” (ENG: “Struggle”) for the newly formed LCF (Lithuanian Communist Federation). Following the Palmer Raids by the US government which seized communist publications and shut down their press, Bimba then published the LCF underground newspaper “Komunistas” (ENG:”Communist”). In 1922, Bimba became editor of the Brooklyn, New York communist Lithuanian newspaper Laisvė (ENG: “Liberty”) and remained its editor until 1928. In November 1922, along with 6 other Lithuanians, he founded and held a committee meeting for a workers trade union called the United Toilers of America (UTA). The UTA also had numerous branch organizations, mainly serving immigrant communities, which operated notably with the help of Bimba and the rest of the 6 man committee. The organizations of the UTA were as follows: The Workers' Defense Conference of New England Alliance of Polish Workers of America The Ukrainian Association Lettish (Latvian) Publishing Association The Polish Publishing Association The Lithuanian Workers' Association Woman's Progressive Alliance. Since most of these organizations served Eastern European immigrants, it can be argued that Bimba is perhaps the first person of a Soviet nationality who developed a “diaspora Soviet/Eastern Bloc consciousness” driven ideology, aimed at unifying them under socialism for the benefits of their labor. A true visionary Bimba was. The UTA later became an organization absorbed officially into the Communist Party of the United States. The UTA eventually fell apart after raids by the government during the Bridgman Convention meetings of the UTA, in which its high profile leaders of William Z. Foster and C.E. Ruthenberg were arrested. After this, the UTA was disbanded. But it was on January 26th, 1926 that Bimba truly made his biggest mark on Marxist history in the United States. He had traveled to Brockton, Massachusetts to address the Lithuanian community there at the Lithuanian National Hall. At the meeting he championed socialism, encouraged unionizing in the Lithuanian immigrant community, and criticized the Catholic Church. He said in critique of the church as an institution: "People have built churches for the last 2,000 years, and we have sweated under Christian rule for 2,000 years. And what have we got? The government is in control of the priests and bishops, clerics and capitalists. They tell us there is a God. Where is he?” When he received pushback from religious individuals in the crowd who ridiculed his disbelief in God and Jesus Christ, he said: "There is no such thing. Who can prove it? There are still fools enough who believe in God. The priests tell us there is a soul. Why, I have a soul, but that sole is on my shoe. Referring to Christ, the priests also tell us he is a god. Why, he is no more a god than you or I. He was just a plain man." After an individual complained to police, he was arrested and put on trial under Salem Witch Trial era blasphemy laws. In addition to being charged with blasphemy, he was also charged under anti-communist political sedition laws, based on the following statement he made at the same meeting: "We do not believe in the ballot. We do not believe in any form of government but the Soviet form and we shall establish the Soviet form of government here. The red flag will fly on the Capitol in Washington and there will also be one on the Lithuanian Hall in Brockton." With the legal and financial support of the local Worker’s Communist party, the International Labor Defense organization, and the American Civil Liberties Union, he was able to widen public support for himself. The trial began on February 24th, 1926; six days later, on March 1st, 1926 he was found not guilty of blasphemy but guilty of sedition and ordered to pay a $100 fine. He was then released. Opponents attempted to get him back in jail on more similar charges, but in a rare twist of events, the lead prosecutor dropped his case, simply saying it wasn’t worth pursuing. As a result of the high profile trial of Bimba’s case, courts later ruled the blasphemy laws unconstitutional. As such, Bimba fighting such corrupt laws, causing them to be thrown out, is his crowning achievement. In 1928, Bimba ran for NY State Assembly on the Communist Party ticket in the 13th Assembly District of Brooklyn, NYC. Bimba also produced 2 important leftist American works, both originally in Lithuanian; A survey of labor history called “The History of the American Working Class” (1927), and an account of government repressions of Pennsylvania coal miners in “The Molly Maguires” (1932). Both books were published by International Publishers, a publishing arm of the Communist Party of The United States. Bimba was an editor of a Marxist magazine for the final time in 1936, writing for the Lithuanian language publication “Šviesa” (ENG: “Light”) in 1936. In 1962, Bimba was awarded his honorary doctorate in history from Vilnius University in the capital of Lithuania. Bimba was persecuted by the American capitalist legal system yet again in 1963, when it tried to deport him on grounds of sedition while un-naturalized, on the grounds that, since he was not yet a citizen when brought to trial in 1926 (he didnt become a citizen until 1927) the court argued he should be deported. Historians generally at free the targeting of Bimba to be deported to Soviet Lithuania was politically motivated revenge, in that the DOJ was upset that Bimba refused to testify against other communists in the political witch hunts of the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1957 earlier. Bimba appealed against thr government until 1967, arguing to be allowed to stay in America, as he was politically committed to building socialism in the USA despite that he respected the USSR. Miraculously, in July of 1967, Attorney General Ramsey Clark dropped his case, viewing it as a form of political intimidation. Bimba later died in NYC on September 30th, 1982, at age 88. He left his mark on the movement for socialism in America, and made himself a hero for Lithuanian Americans and all diaspora Lithuanians. In conclusion, don’t be like reactionary Lithuanians. Be like Antanas Bimba. Be revolutionary. May his accomplishments forever be acknowledged. |
2024.05.19 03:02 spicydream95 feeling overwhelmed
I’m worried. I fight myself on what I should do and what I can do. I have been looking for any way to make quick money so I can pay my rent for April and May. I’m backed up bad. I’ve called my local resources but they say they’ll get back to me within time, I don’t have time!
I get these outbursts of anger and feel bad when I take it out on my boyfriend, but he understands. He’s been out of a job too since December and tries to pick up jobs his friends offer but it’s only enough to buy groceries for the week. I left my job recently after two years because it was mentally and physically challenging.
I start a new job soon maybe in two weeks, but I only have $200 in my bank account. It’s not possible to pay my rent and live.
My sister and her baby live with me since November. She was collecting unemployment until recently, but I think she has to reapply to get those benefits again so she says she’s out of money. I only ask her for $200 a month and now that she’s not collecting, she refuses to help. I should mention she has a savings account with her tax money in it, it’s a lot. She does Uber eats for now, and I said even $20 can go a long way for me but she says no. We argued about this situation yesterday and she hasn’t slept here since.
My mom doesn’t talk to me for no reason since November, I tried reaching out but she has me blocked. I haven’t bothered again because she suffers from undiagnosed mental health issues and I have trauma from how she treated me my entire life. My dad lives in South America and doesn’t make much money but helped me with $100. I was so thankful, but I know it won’t be enough.
I don’t want to give up. Everything in my apartment, I bought with my own money. I worked so hard to have my own place after being homeless and living in shelters when I was in high school and college. It sucks to see that I might end up on that path again. I’m trying so hard to prevent that. If I get depressed or my anxiety gets out of control, I could lose everything.
I was in the hospital on Sunday for having an asthma attack and found out I had bronchitis. The hospital gave me the week off and I contemplated going back to my shitty job every night. I looked on indeed for new jobs and found one, but now I’m waiting to start. Thinking of how long until I get paid again is just a pain.
I’m trying to stay strong every day and night. I keep my thoughts to myself but I just needed to share this, I don’t care if no one reads it. I can’t give in to the darkness, I won’t but I’m barely holding on

2024.05.19 03:02 caret_app 1st timer looking for suggestions mainly for pest control (Rabbit & smaller / 4 acres)
Greetings,
I have a rural vacation home in Indiana of 4 acres. At times I have expensive dump trailers and boats there. Mice, chipmunks, the works, have gotten in the trailers and chewed up some of the wiring. We have moles that make mowing the lawn a bouncy back breaking experience. Snakes. Spiders almost as big as your hand. The property was overrun with rabbits at one point in time. I'll be sitting on the deck and see things I don't want there scurry around or pop their head up. I already have traps set. I want something to kill them silently from a distance. Although rural, I also don't want to piss of the neighbors or my new puppy with something like a .22. (The current rifle) I'd also like something that wouldn't penetrate decently thick metal siding or like something on a work trailer. An air gun sounds like the tool for the job! But which one?
I'd like to keep it around $200 or less. I am a cheap ass. I usually buy a proven cheap thing. Things that muddle the line. I would expect it to take down an animal as large as a rabbit. I don't want to buy cartridges - so pump it is? I do have air compressors if that makes a difference? I wouldn't mind refilling a canister with just air from a compressor. I'm probably looking for something that comes with a x4+ scope. Probably something lighter. Black, grey, wood, camo. This would be a work rifle. Some dirt might touch it. What caliber should I get?
I think it's time for a air gun for small game. This is mainly for pest control. But I do hunt from time to time. So I'd like it to be applicable there too. Should I haply purchase a Hatsan AirTact* to please my wallet or pony up for a Gamo Swarm Maxxim 10X GEN 2*? Maybe I don't need all the bells? Maybe there is a middle ground?
What would you suggest?

2024.05.19 03:01 Chilli-Monster Still struggling. I hope it gets better.
Hey blessed people, I think this is my 3rd post in this subreddit about pretty much the same thing. Battling depression, addiction and anxiety every single day. I feel incredibly alone, in shock of how people around me are oblivious to how the world is running.
Good news is I started a new job as a breakfast cook at a hotel! I also came on a spiritual retreat with a society from my university. It’s been good, I have actually found a couple of semi collapse aware people. But I just can’t deal with pointless conversations anymore. I ghosted a relative who is super super nice, I just cba to show fake interest in our conversations.
I would say I’m doing a solid 4 or 5/10 these days. Not really looking forward to tomorrow. Don’t really want to sleep. I hope these ill thoughts exit my brain. My willpower has been terrible.
I wish I could just scream out all the repressed pain in my heart. I wish I could remain steadfast. I’m tired. I want to cry until I have no tears left. I miss my family so much. I miss my friends.
What even is this world I was born into?
I’m so exhausted mentally. I live in a foreign country, far away from home. I wish I could go back home. Thank you guys for being here. I appreciate you. If you weren’t here building and engaging in the collapse subreddits, I would probably be in a mental hospital. Peace :)

2024.05.19 03:00 Effective-Bend-5677 Upgrade to Nikon F4
 | My partner and I recently got deep into film photography, I’ve had a DSLR for a number of years that I usually shoot in Av/ Tv mode but had no idea film photography was even still a thing until recently. submitted by Effective-Bend-5677 to AnalogCommunity [link] [comments] Decided to pick up a Pentax K1000 I found on Marketplace for $80 CAD, picked up an SMC 50mm F2 as well. Shot 3 rolls of Ultramax through it and was very impressed at how well the photos turned out (only metered off the camera). Needless to say after that I was hooked, and while I found the strictly basic manual controls of the K1000 fun, I wanted something I could use Shutter and Aperture priority with as well. Upon lots and lots of research, decided to go with the Nikon F4 (No LCD bleed). It’s incredibly hefty and that is what I like about it, not to mention it’s gorgeous. I have a friend that gave me a Nikkor 28mm F2.8 and lent me a 300mm Nikkor Telephoto (both manual, I’m fine with that) Shot my first roll with it today and very much looking forward to seeing how they turned out, just wanted to share my journey so far! |

I have a 2016 Cruze. I’ve had it almost three months bought from a dealer. I’ve noticed lately that when driving especially going up hills it shakes. Check engine light comes on for a day or two, but once I get in the car to drive again it’s off. Or it comes on and flashes and stays on or flashes and shuts off. I haven’t been able to get a code reader on it since it hasn’t been staying on consistent. Tonight it got real bad and the check stabilitrack came on and told me my traction control needs serviced. I’m new to chevys so all this is new to me. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

2024.05.19 02:58 badatmemes_123 Sheoldred & Timetwister
My opponent and I each control one [[sheoldred, the apocalypse]]. I know that, because of APNAP, when I draw on my turn their burn resolves before my lifegain.
Here’s where my question lies. If a single effect makes me draw multiple cards at once, like [[divination]], will the triggers be put on the stack alternating or in pairs? In other words, will the stack resolve as: - theirs, theirs, mine, mine Or - theirs, mine, theirs, mine.
And a followup to that. Let’s say my opponent and I both draw one card at the same time, from something like [[mikokoro, center of the sea]]. Both Sheoldreds trigger on both of us, but in what order are the triggers stacked?
Final question, a combination of the first two. We both control Sheoldreds. I cast [[timetwister]]. How the hell are these triggers organized.
For those curious, the reason I’m asking is because I use [[day’s undoing]] as sideboard tech against Mono-Black discard in pioneer, and I had just cloned a Sheoldred with [[vizier of many faces]]. I ended up not drawing the undoing so thankfully we didn’t encounter this problem, but since I realized that this problem can happen I wanted to make sure I had an answer

Thank you in advance for reading if you read all of this. My name is Travis. I’m a single, 41-year-old male living in Houston, TX who is looking for a childfree, long-term relationship. Possible life partner. Possible soulmate. That dream DINK life. That being said, I think relationships can only happen organically. I posted on this sub last year and am trying again. As only someone who is also childfree can understand, finding someone who is 100% childfree in this life is like searching for a needle in a haystack. And the apps, well… not sure I ever want to go back to them again. Regardless, I’m a romantic and will not stop searching for a partner. submitted by Childfreetxguy to cf4cf [link] [comments] About me: · Happy, chill, kind, understanding, empathetic, sweet, and easy-going person who loves life. Never been married. I’m drama free, have no baggage, and am one of the most easy-going people you’ll ever meet. · I live alone and have no pets, but I do love animals and am pet friendly. · Monogamous. Hookups and non-monogamy are not for me. No judgments for others that do. To each their own. I’m a one-woman man and only have eyes for the woman I’m with. I don’t flirt with, check out, or desire other women. For me there is only my partner. That’s how I naturally am and how I like it. I also only date one woman at a time. · I’ve had a vasectomy and am sterile. I would like to meet someone that is also sterile or would never go through with an unwanted child. Also, I want to be with someone who has no desire to ever adopt or foster children. I’ve found now that I just can’t be attracted to someone that is not on the same wavelengths with these things with being 100% childfree for life. I rather be single and celibate than ever bring a child into this world. And yes, I understand that everyone has a different idea for how they want to live childfree. · Ideally my preference would be someone local to Houston or in Texas, but I am open to anywhere for the right childfree person. Just as long as it’s agreed to not stay long distance once things have gotten serious. I’m willing to relocate for the right person. · I don’t smoke, drink, or do any drugs. I won’t date a smoker, heavy drinkepartier, or hard drug user, but I am 420 friendly and don’t mind if you drink at all. · I have eclectic tastes. I’m fascinated by the world, and there’s not much I don’t enjoy. One of my passions is that I love to do acrylic paintings. I picked it up a year and a half ago after being inspired for years by Bob Ross (he’s one of my spirit animals.) I love to paint seascapes and landscapes and want to learn to paint all kinds of things. I also love to write, read, go for runs and walks, be out in nature, take road trips, travel, be out in nature, watch movies/shows, cook, exercise, go to museums, try new food spots, hike, learn new things, play board games and video games, visit with family and friends, play golf, explore new local places, and much more. · With a partner, I love nights in and adventures out together equally. Cooking a delicious meal for my partner and then cuddling up for a movie or show together is one of my favorite things. · I love all the love languages, but my biggest is physical touch (giving and receiving.) I’m one of the most physically affectionate partners that you could ever meet. Would love to meet someone that is also physically affectionate. I love it all – holding hands, cuddles, hugs, all the kisses. I’m also very sexual and kink friendly. My next biggest love language is time spent. I love being around my partner, but I also think it’s very important for both partners to have their own time to do things like pursue their passions and spend time with friends and others. I value words of affirmation and am very verbal about my love and affection. I also love doing all kinds of acts of service for my partner and coming up with special, thoughtful, surprise gifts. If you read all of this, I sincerely appreciate it. If this resonates with you and you think we’d be a good match, I hope you reach out. What matters truly in a match to me is just being an honorable and kind person and being childfree. Not having the exact same favorite things or interests isn’t important to me. In general, I enjoy all kinds of activities, have all types of interests, and am eager to explore this world. Would be even better to have someone to share it with. Anyway, if you have any questions please ask. Also, please share pictures if you reach out and chat. Best of luck to you! |

I’m worried. I fight myself on what I should do and what I can do. I have been looking for any way to make quick money so I can pay my rent for April and May. I’m backed up bad. I’ve called my local resources but they say they’ll get back to me within time, I don’t have time!
I get these outbursts of anger and feel bad when I take it out on my boyfriend, but he understands. He’s been out of a job too since December and tries to pick up jobs his friends offer but it’s only enough to buy groceries for the week. I left my job recently after two years because it was mentally and physically challenging.
I start a new job soon maybe in two weeks, but I only have $200 in my bank account. It’s not possible to pay my rent and live.
My sister and her baby live with me since November. She was collecting unemployment until recently, but I think she has to reapply to get those benefits again so she says she’s out of money. I only ask her for $200 a month and now that she’s not collecting, she refuses to help. I should mention she has a savings account with her tax money in it, it’s a lot. She does Uber eats for now, and I said even $20 can go a long way for me but she says no. We argued about this situation yesterday and she hasn’t slept here since.
My mom doesn’t talk to me for no reason since November, I tried reaching out but she has me blocked. I haven’t bothered again because she suffers from undiagnosed mental health issues and I have trauma from how she treated me my entire life. My dad lives in South America and doesn’t make much money but helped me with $100. I was so thankful, but I know it won’t be enough.
I don’t want to give up. Everything in my apartment, I bought with my own money. I worked so hard to have my own place after being homeless and living in shelters when I was in high school and college. It sucks to see that I might end up on that path again. I’m trying so hard to prevent that. If I get depressed or my anxiety gets out of control, I could lose everything.
I was in the hospital on Sunday for having an asthma attack and found out I had bronchitis. The hospital gave me the week off and I contemplated going back to my shitty job every night. I looked on indeed for new jobs and found one, but now I’m waiting to start. Thinking of how long until I get paid again is just a pain.
I’m trying to stay strong every day and night. I keep my thoughts to myself but I just needed to share this, I don’t care if no one reads it. I can’t give in to the darkness, I won’t but I’m barely holding on
Edit: I’m sorry if this isn’t the right place to post this

2024.05.19 02:55 Dry_Section_7741 I can’t forgive anyone!
Two years ago (2022) in mid August, I got sexually assaulted by my mom‘s boyfriend. Now what happened may not be as bad as what many others have experienced, but I guess the worst part of it was how my mom and my family “handled” it.
He was a chain-smoking alcoholic and that day my mom and him were telling me about all the bad guys in college and how I have to be careful they might sexually assault me or bully me or whatever. At the end of the conversation, my mom told me to fix my hair in her closet/makeup room and that’s what I did. My mom went downstairs to cook, and I don’t know what her boyfriend was doing, but he kept popping in saying he was just trying to help me, call him up, he’s just trying to show me. He and I had already been on bad terms since we met during Covid. He was her client and he just got out for a DUI. We’d argue a lot, and my mom really didn’t do anything about it.
FYI, he kept trying to kiss me on the lips, but my mom would argue till the day she dies that all he did was kiss me on the cheek. He groped my left boob, I told her this while cupping it. She’d say that he held my side. She wasn’t in the room. She was downstairs cooking and I was screaming. Every time he would come in trying kissing me and, every time she would scream at him too even though she was downstairs because she heard me. At one point she came up so I told her that he’d been trying to kiss me but she thought it was on the cheek so she went back downstairs. Same shit—he comes in saying crazy ass shit, tries kissing me on the lips while my mom and I scream at him… except this time he gropes me, says sorry when he leaves the room and I rush downstairs telling my mom what happened. I was using the flat iron and I had every opportunity to burn him. Honestly a part of me wishes I did but it wasn’t the answer to this situation; it would’ve made things worse for me so I’m glad I didn’t do anything like that. When I went to college I used the resources available to me but I made no tangible improvements or positive effects for my life. I even went straight to the Police Department (not just UPD) I could’ve gotten a restraining order but I didn’t. The officer even asked me point-blank, “So are we arresting this guy?”
I remember on my last day to work that summer (2022), I was talking to my mom and she was asking me if I really wanted to tell anyone about it like it was a bad thing. The same thing happens a few days later when I get my outpatient surgery, she reminds me of her “handling” the situation. Nobody in my family really gives a fuck btw, when I told my relatives what happened they kind of danced around it, were in disbelief and honestly, were kind of telling me that they didn’t believe me. When I told my brother he said straight up that he didn’t believe me he didn’t think anyone else would.
My moms boyfriend doesn’t drink or smoke to that extent anymore. I still don’t wanna be around him, but I don’t have money. I don’t have friends. I can’t just get an apartment and my mom gets very angry at me when I had a summer job (2023) that despite paying for my stay at college and you guessed it, was over the summer, she was mad that I didn’t just stay at her house. Get a seasonal job here and make money here for free! Because he just won’t bother me, she says. I get free transportation both here and there. I don’t wanna go on family trips because he’s always there. I don’t even want to be in the same room as him. She says I’m segregating and making people walk on eggshells. My mom is so pissed about it that she won’t bother keeping us in separate areas. She says I’m segregating and making people walk on eggshells.
Isn’t that the worst part? I still live here. This is my permanent address. Like, I came back here for the summer break, for the winter intercession, and the gap of time before my last summer internship. I have epilepsy. I can’t get a job rn and I can’t make friends bc my people skills are disgustingly bad. I depend on my mom to drive me to my pharmacy. I don’t speak to any of my family because of how they responded to this situation + he’s at every event. Of course everyone loves him. I don’t love my mom, but I tell her I do so I can be on some “positive” level with her, even though we argue almost daily. She has no sympathy, despite saying her childhood was much worse—she loved her mom so much that she’d speak to her every day... like it’s some competition. She doesn’t understand why her kids at various times in their lives have become estranged from not only her, but her side of my family (one is 100% estranged). I can’t forgive anyone.

2024.05.19 02:55 Thump4 💲 G M E 💵 The Green, Cash-and-Criminal-Siphoning, Tornado-Spawning, Category 6 Hurricane of Our Evolving Stock Market
 | 1. Intro, 2. Developments, 3. Business Tailwinds, 4. Technicals, 5. TLDR submitted by Thump4 to Superstonk [link] [comments] 1. IntroductionJust as meteorologists propose that a new 'Category 6' is needed for Hurricanes, a new category 6 financial event is clearly needed to describe what is happening, and what will continue to happen, with the Monstrous Hurricane that is GameStop Corp. This cash-siphoning hurricane continues to properly-serve GameStop Corp's long term shareholders.https://preview.redd.it/6qwncfnl3a1d1.jpg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=81c535c7bf5d19290992da697333183e6eeadb09 Just as no man can control the weather, no firm (Citadel, Virtu, Amazon) can control the stock market. Detailed below, and as an effect of Citadel/Virtu's/Amazon's failures, GameStop is actively swallowing up equity in the stock market in a manner that can only be described as a green, cash-siphoning Hurricane 2. Developments"DFV" Week"DFV Week" may be behind us. There could be more weeks of tweets. We will never know. Yet, it can be summarized what the man, myth, and legend was telling us: From a psychological perspective, Roaring Kitty expressed himself through his tweets considerably well. He 'memed' to us that GameStop has influenced his life at this point, that people in his social circles still don't really understand him and routinely make fun of him as being 'the GameStop guy'. He missed us. He misses streaming and investing. He misses the market. He chastised his friends who now all-of-a-sudden care about him, now that he's on the news again. GameStop has come to define him, and he doesn't really know who he is anymore: but what he does know, is that he wants to do the right thing. He truly feels as if his ''return'' is an aspect of him doing the right thing. Advocating for his company that he is still clearly a part of, likely by ownership of droves of shares. The government and regulators, however, are watching him. He feels trapped. He feels alone. As someone who regulators do not want communicating on the market, he is a main character against a criminal syndicate that has impacted all sectors and most countries. He understands the importance of GameStop as it relates to fixing the broken system that has led to Generation Z and Millennials having the lowest societal-fraction of wealth in history. "Hang in There" SuperStonkers are wise enough, and zen enough, to realize that it is not likely that DFV tweets ten times a day for the remainder of the year. That takes a lot of work, whether he led a team to create those memes, or made them himself, it was clearly a gargantuan effort. He has been dying to 'return' for a long time now: 3 years. And he made his return, whether brief or not, legendary. He ended the week with a clear message:
GameStop's Friday Filings: Dividend Discussion CEO Ryan Cohen owns a considerable amount of shares of the company. Yesterday, GameStop Corp announced implications of how its shareholder dividend(s) could look over time via the implementation of its Preferred Stock 'Depositary' Shares . These shares, for each series, will be used for voting and will count as preferred shares. They apparently cannot be sold short. They may be in the form of cash distributions or non-fungible-tokens since GameStop has already created its non-fungible-token website and infrastructure. These depositary shares, for voting purposes, can be voted upon by mail and will have the powers of preferred shareholders. Holders of GameStop Common stock can receive the depositary shares via Dividend Today's filings with the SEC reveal substantial information about how GameBank ($GME) can issue its dividend using either cash assets, any legally approved assets, etc. On Friday, and as many here have pointed out, Barnes and Noble stock went up over 200% due to issuing a subscription to shareholders. This subscription allows all stock holders on issue date to buy 17 more shares at the listed price in the paperwork. Guess what: the share owners have to be located to issue said subscription, and there are only as many issued as there are shares. The mechanism for this? All shorts must close with this option. This is additional to the previous option I stated today. Which MOASS option will Ryan Cohen choose? He could choose any, depending on how he feels while drinking his morning tea. He could initiate MOASS now at the sleight of hand, impending now at any time. This is when GameStop would likely sell their 45 million shares, so they profit as much as shareholders will, perhaps for a quick $5 billion dollars more in cash on hand. The S-3SR filing for the right for GameStop to issue subscriptions to stock holders. Example of How Quickly this can occur 9th of May - Barnes and noble releases registration statement declaring their right to issue subscriptions (we are here, since GME released their declaration of right today) 14th of May - Barnes and noble issue prospectus to shareholders that they grant the subscription right 17th of May - date of subscription rate issue and 200% price increase (note that it is estimated that GameStop Corp with current 1.5 Billion shares visible as 'on loan' has been sold short roughly 100x more than Barnes & Noble was, so GME's rise would be much higher than 200%) According to the Options Clearing Corporation, there are now 1.5 Billion GameStop shares on loan Impact on short sellers during a subscription issuance As one redditor yesterday put it: "When a company offers subscription rights to its shareholders, it can significantly impact short sellers in several ways: Obligation to Cover Rights: Short sellers may need to cover the cost of the subscription rights if they are borrowed and sold shares. This means they might have to buy the rights in the market to pass them on to the holders of the shares they borrowed, potentially increasing their costs. Price Adjustment: The stock price usually adjusts to reflect the value of the subscription rights. This can affect short sellers because the value of the shares they are shorting changes. If the rights are valuable, the stock price might drop by an equivalent amount when the rights are issued, impacting the short seller's position. Complexity in Managing Positions: The introduction of subscription rights adds complexity to managing a short position. Short sellers need to keep track of the rights, understand their value, and manage the timing of their actions to cover any resulting obligations. This could involve additional transactions, which increase costs and risks. Potential for Short Squeeze: If the subscription rights are perceived as highly valuable or if many short sellers need to cover their positions simultaneously, it could lead to a short squeeze. This happens when short sellers rush to buy back shares to close their positions, driving the stock price up. In summary, the issuance of subscription rights can increase the costs and risks for short sellers, potentially leading to a more challenging environment for maintaining a short position." GameStop (GameBank) could also rebrand $GME through a new offering. The company could then do some kind of restart that force closes all shorts and then they start off as a new company (a company restart where we get a share for share type of thing, get paid, then have cash to buy the new company i.e. GMERICA). It may be true that the news shares would only be purchased through computershare and booked. This is very legal: GME has added new companies (i.e. the $217 Million that is now unaccounted for) and is therefore already a “new” company. On this, it can be expected that a new price runup occurs next week. GameStop Corp, if it sells 45 Million shares immediately into this high-volume, would then have about $2.5 Billion dollars in cash on hand. It had been prophesized for years that Keith Gill would return, GameStop would set up the lethal bear trap, and that the "Legally-Approved Mother of All Short Squeezes" would be the only rational conclusion, followed by a company with such high reserves, that it would survive forever. This is the cash absorbing, rapidly-rising share price, company of GameStop today. https://preview.redd.it/a2ktdg1x3a1d1.jpg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=20e0e7dcdb01e30d92e1c080560f9bca82ea0336 3. GameStop's Business TailwindsKen Griffin and Jeff Bezos have financially-collaborated on several projects togetherWhile it's clear that Jeff Bezos is enjoying the wealth that was mostly created by the naked-short-selling complex that unfairly allowed his company to benefit at the expense of his competitors (i.e. collused targets and subsequent corporate victims), Ken Griffin is the one who is depicted in recent photos as being under more stress than his business collaborator Ryan Cohen is taking on Amazon (in business), and Citadel, and Virtu (market makers) directly. Although Ryan Cohen already bested Jeff Bezos in the pet arena with Chewy, he is clearly showing an intent to dominate Amazon across gaming and all other business sectors https://preview.redd.it/8ojd2qpnk91d1.jpg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=be6a59700358fd85a02f6987d94f23b27170e8bc 4. TechnicalsMOASS is still actively playing out12 days ago, I disclosed in another sub [from a technical perspective] that 'MOASS' was starting. There was a clear chart breakout of a 3-year long wedge. Then it became clear: that about 500 Million FTDs would be on the books. "FTD Train Stacking" Failures to Deliver need to be bought back There were $7 Million worth of FTDs from March 28th, 2024 to April 2nd, 2024 (a two day trading period). C+35 from those dates is May 2nd, 2024 to May 3rd, 2024 (the first dates that GME's price started accelerating). Thus, there is lock-step evidence of the first 'FTD train' being stacked, and broker dealers being too overwhelmed (i.e. no shares available) to settle them. Thus, since the goal of bad actors who FTD is to hopefully buy the shares back at cheaper prices this week... if price is not cheaper (it's not)... then they become even more overwhelmed. This exact same FTD "train stacking" phenomenon is what led to the GME Sneeze of January 2021, in perfect 35 day volume-infused runups that were indicative of FTD buybacks in accordance with Reg SHO Rule 204. I presented this image 9 days ago depicting the current trend Bears are begging for a downtrend, yet even with a downtrend, a Fibonacci Retracement right back to $60 is anticipated Bulls are expecting an uptrend back to retest $125 Options Max pain for May 17th for the majority of the week was $18, but the week ended at $22. Options are handsomely-undergoing 'gamma ramps', as they have since May 2nd's initial MOASS-evidencing price rise. The price has began this process around $10 per share. Max pain for each week is inching its way higher, which reflexively increases share price I presented this chart in 2022 to help describe the bear-trap and gamma snake, which shows gamma ramps after a low point in the chart. Technicals reveal the current low was in late April 2024, and that GameStop is now experiencing the right-hand gamma ramps in May. Options gamma ramp-ups are yet another accelerant to this process, and an early-January-2021 similarity is present in current ramp up. GameStop is a green hurricane with spawning tornadoes, each of which actively absorb cash. GameStop, in effect, is actively swallowing up the global equities market All of this is, to me, is a watershed moment and is thanks to all of the teamwork by GameStop's board, officers, employees, and shareholders- all of whom led to the company's current profitability, debt-free stature, and its strong and rapidly-growing cash position. 5. TLDRGameStop Corp's mixed shelf filing, and its discussion of dividend and subscription information, is now leading to a position where short-sellers have no idea where the exit is. Ryan Cohen has shut multiple doors on them at once.For the sake of their financial survival, short-sellers of GameStop need to get out. Ryan Cohen and the board showed on Friday that they are aware of this. Subscription and/or dividends are able to force short sellers to be obligated to pay. Short-sellers only alternative now is to go through GameStop's shareholders (via share price rise for the demand to meet the limited supply) and/or GameStop itself now (cash infusion). Further, FTDs for the last 2 weeks have to be bought back, and options gamma only makes this messier for those still short (1.5 Billion shares, 5x the float, is shown as loaned out). Technicals clearly reveal that 'MOASS' is still actively playing out. Further, like in 2021, GameStop is rapidly accumulating cash [even though the price is still 100% higher than what it was two weeks ago] through a minor offering while the price is in the middle of a price runup. This further evidences that the board was confident that there would be a 2021-like 'sneeze' starting here [at the minimum], but that they know the company's market cap will continue to grow in sync with its price rise. 🌪 💵The only name for this can be described as a "green, Category 6, stock-market Hurricane with tornadoes" that quickly siphons up cash, as GameStop Corp actively takes over and dominates the global equities market 💵🌪 |
2024.05.19 02:53 Nightski90 AITAH for expecting the same out of two kids with different personalities?
I took in my now 17 and 13 year old nieces about a year and a half ago. They got here and they were lazy AF. They didn’t help with house chores or yard work. I struggled to get them to keep up on hygiene, especially the 17 yr old. I’m sure a lot of this is because they never had to do any of it, but my house, my rules, and they have been here long enough to start nowing better. Also. they agreed to live here over foster care.
Now the weather is breaking and I’m trying to encourage them to go outside. The 13 year old has been good and getting out and being active but the 17 not so much. She will sit and watch Netflix on the patio…. She sat outside for 3 hours today (1-4) and came back in after I came in (I was out in the garden from 7-4) so she comes in with me and my husband and takes over the couch. I cook dinner she offers no help, sits on her phone. Then after dinner. Again, no help. Then it’s finally time in the day where I can sit down and my husband turns on the tv for her (we have it controlled by an app). Like ok…. Maybe I wanted the fucking couch and tv for the evening????
Anyways my husband says I’m harder on her than the 13 year old so he often gives her the tv and more phone time and such. And he says “she will never do right by you”… The 13 year old offers to help me all the time with tasks around the house. The 13 year old never gets the tv because between playing with her friends and homework and dance and other events her and her friends find to do in the week she doesn’t have time to even ask to play on the tv. The 13 year old also has been very good with personal hygiene. I try to encourage the 17 year old to help, be active, find a hobby find a sport and it’s always an excuse or she’ll say she was planning on doing it and a day or two and when that day come it doesn’t happen.
The 17 year old is lazy, she doesn’t do anything but sit around on tik tok and then ask us if she can play on the tv the min we get home from work or walk in from being outside. So now I’m getting pissy about it and my husband says I’m too hard on her. I’ve bought her cooking classes (she wants to be a chef) she has not gone to them…
This teen is obsessed with technology all she talks about is “news” from tik tok and red dead redemption- it’s stupid. I don’t agree when people are like “well that’s kids these days” no, that’s lazy parenting imo, kids still need to get outside and have in person relationships with peers and have hobbies and sports. I’m and introvert myself but I find things to do outside of technology. AITHA for my expectations I have of the 17 year old? I’m not saying she needs to be social butterfly like the 13 year old but she need to use her mind and maybe be a bit more active….

Now the weather is breaking and I’m trying to encourage them to go outside. The 13 year old has been good and getting out and being active but the 17 not so much. She will sit and watch Netflix on the patio….

2024.05.19 02:53 jlodvo Zero disconnects and crash now on hd2 , hope this helps others
things that made me fix all crashes (crash to desktop with event id 1000) and disconnect to ship
most of the tips and fix are in the pin message in hd2 official discord you just need to be patient and try till you find a solution the game is very unstable thats why you need to get your pc super stable like 200% stable
you need more extra headroom for stablity in this game
specs intel (13900ks) and nvidia (4090) mobo (z790-i)
--bios--
make sure all your drivers are up to date and do a clean install of your graphics driver using Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU)
--game luncher on steam---
you can try to use lunch option: --use-d3d11
but still you need to tweak your bios to be super stable you can get back to dx12 just by deleting the lunch option
--ingame settings to try--
turn off = BLOOM
turn off = Screen-space global illumination
turn off = Anti-aliasing
Motion Bur = 0
Use Async Compute- off you can try on or off
Render Scale = Native
Camera Shake = Off
Display Mode = Borderless Window
Framerate Limit = On
Framerate Limit = 120 my oled 4k monitor can only do 120
Vsync = Off
---misc---
if you have asus sonic uninstall it
disable ipv6
use other DNS
--Registry tweak--
TdrDelay = 10
Simply go to your registry: Start Run Type in "Regedit"
Go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers" and create a key of type "DWORD (32-bit)" and name "TdrDelay" with a value of 10 as Decimal value.
Reboot and play :)
In a nutshell it gives the GPU 10 seconds to recoverespond vs. 2 seconds (default).

specs intel (13900ks) and nvidia (4090) mobo (z790-i)
--bios--
- limit max core of your cpu lower it first to test min ive set it to X50 sync all cores (downclock to be super stable)
- Enforce all power limts
- Set Power Limit 1 (PL 1) to your cpu specs mine is 320 intel 13900ks some is 253 depends on your cpu
- Set Power Limit 2 (PL 2) same as above
- Set the Core Current Limit(Amps) to your cpu mine is 400 some i think is 307
- lock your pci graphics gen dont leave on auto mine is Gen 4
- make sure your ram settings is stable, or for test disable XMP first so it downclocks if all good turn it on

2024.05.19 02:53 ThrowRAessue My hasband (45m) is calling me (38f) an alcoholic for wanting to enjoy a drink with my brother on his birthday. How would you handle this?
My husband and I quit drinking. Here’s the thing, we’ve been together 15 years and I drank socially when I met him and always handled my alcohol well. He on the other hand does not. We’ve had some pretty huge issues in our relationship surrounding alcohol consumption: one time he nearly lost his mind yelling at me all night, he has almost jumped into a car with children after a day of drinking (someone took his keys and hid them not allowing him to drive and making him stay the night). when he’s drunk he cannot control his emotions, he goes through all of them. I have pictures of him sitting in a pool of his own vomit… I have videos of him yelling his head off, calling me names etc. the list goes on. The last incident when he almost jumped into a car with the kids was rock bottom (I though getting arrested and beaten up on vacation would be the rock bottom but it wasn’t).
The incident when he almost drove was the last time he really drank (he tried to bring home beer on 2-3 separate occasions after that but I got pretty upset and gave him a hard time, he made the decision to completely keep away from it).
So in the 15 years we’ve been together there have been times when he’s quit temporarily (because he’s gotten really out of hand) but then slowly after some time he’ll bring home a beer for me, one for him (of course asking first and then I agree because I do enjoy a cold beer on a hot day), don’t get me wrong I know I should have said a hard ‘NO’ and I should have never drank again either because obviously it’s hard to have it in the house, or have someone else enjoy a beer around you when you can’t. But I always thought, one is not that big of a deal (next thing you know, he’s bringing home a few beers a few times a week).
So I was pregnant with my third baby when this driving incident almost took place, so I had already not been drinking for 9 months. Fast forward to Xmas when my baby was about 2 months old. I had a glass of wine at Christmas, he declined when my parents offered him one. It didn’t seem to bother him that I had a glass of wine, like I said I’ve never been out of hand like him.
So again, it’s been 1.5 years since I brought alcohol into the home and I don’t plan to. However, having a glass of wine on my brothers birthday doesn’t seem like it’s something that’s not allowed for me. I’m envited to my brothers birthday party and I’ll be driving so I would literally have one beer or one glass of wine in the span of hours… along with food consumption. I’m shocked that when I brought up the fact that I might enjoy a beer with my brother on his 40th birthday he began to call me an alcoholic? (Again, a glass of wine on Christmas and other then that no drinking for 1.5 years) we never talked about me not drinking, I never fucked up, alcohol doesn’t poison me and my brain like it does him. I was boiling inside when he started saying I have a problem, I told him I don’t and that I’ve been pregnant and my one glass of wine on Christmas ‘didn’t start anything’ because I didn’t start bringing alcohol into the house. I didn’t drink more after that one glass of wine. I feel like I would love to have a glass of wine a couple of times a year when a girlfriend comes to visit, or when it’s my brothers 40th bday! Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want him to start drinking again so I’ll stay away from it but I just don’t understand why he’s making a big deal about me having a beer on a big occasion when I’ve never been out of hand when drinking, or made stupid decisions like he has. I guess I was looking for him to say, ya you go ahead but I’m not having any… as opposed to starting a fight about how I have a problem? It just makes no sense to me unless he’s just projecting and maybe craving having a drink.
In the end I didn’t end up having a beer on my brothers birthday, but next year on my 40th I’d like to… I don’t want it to be an issue, and believe me if it means I can never drink again to keep him from ever drinking again I will, but I also feel like I can handle a drink 5 times out of the year without getting out of hand or starting bad habits. Thoughts?
