California rescuers clamoring for adoption of AB 2265, Animal Shelter Transparency Act cheerfully agree to remove the bit about mandatory spay/neuter before a dog or cat is released to foster. Also, the law is another gateway for release of dangerous dogs.

To be honest, I didn't read the dangerous dog part as thoroughly as I should. I think I may be somewhat burnt out on the recklessness and coldness shown by rescuers to others in their willingness to prioritize dangerous or marginal ownerless dogs over beloved pets and over people.
The spay/neuter part, that just galls me. It should gall anyone. This crisis, this hellscape of pit bull overpopulation that exists clearly calls for sterilization of any shelter dog in California. Shrugging off that as a lesser priority than rehoming existing dogs blows the whole deal. Any animal rescue plan that removes, downgrades or fails to prioritize spay/neuter for pit bulls is worthless. It's just a smokescreen, a way to play with puppies and posture as saviors without doing anything to improve the situation. Status quo, nothing to see here, #adoptdontshop.

SUMMARY: Under existing law, it is the policy of the state that no adoptable animal should be euthanized if it can be adopted into a suitable home, as provided.
This bill declares it the policy of the state that no animal be euthanized by a public animal control agency, shelter, or a private entity that contracts with a public animal control agency or shelter for animal care and control services (collectively, “eligible agency”). This bill requires an eligible agency to post, 24 to 72 hours before a scheduled euthanasia of a dog or cat, a daily list of any cat or dog scheduled for euthanasia on its public website or social media page and to post a physical notice on the kennel of a dog or cat scheduled to be euthanized.
This bill requires a public animal control agency or shelter that seeks to adopt a policy, practice, or protocol that may conflict with Hayden’s Law to give notice regarding the policy, practice, or protocol, as specified, and requires the city or county to schedule a public hearing regarding the policy, practice, or protocol.

And the sheer chutzpah of this

Rescuers - we will advocate for violent dogs and fund their owners' fights to keep them from being designated dangerous and harass communities into being extremely afraid of even starting a dangerous dog investigation.
Also rescuers - our new legislation to require more marketing of unadoptable dogs won't include dangerous dogs! Silly! There's no risk to the public!
Although I will say I had no idea that rescuers knew of the existence of the word 'transparency' so good for them. Perhaps this knowledge could be turned inward sometimes?
The CityWatch article
ANIMAL WATCH - An increasing number of reported vicious and fatal dog attacks across California, as reported by the L.A. Times—and worldwide—are ignored by AB 2265 (2024) authored by Assembly Member Kevin McCarthy and introduced in the CA Assembly—and, instead, it prohibits euthanasia of any dangerous animals, including dogs impounded in shelters for violent behavior.
AB 2265, (which has so far been amended twice, the latest change being when it was introduced in the Assembly on 3/18/2024) wants California legislators to assure that NO dog (or other aggressive animal) in a shelter can be euthanized, other than if it is irremediably suffering, regardless of its violent or even deadly behavioral history. However, it is the goal and purpose of shelters to place as many animals as possible directly into homes with families.
This bill went far beyond the purpose of the 1998 Hayden bill which had the intent to restrict euthanasia of healthy and adoptable animals.
No one with knowledge of the devastating outcome of attacks by currently popular Pit Bulls, XL and XXL Bullys, now banned in the UK, Wales, Scotland and India, along with other aggressive breeds, nor anyone who has been the victim of any vicious dog attack, could plausibly agree that this risk should be encouraged or can be afforded by the State of California or any governmental jurisdiction.
So far, it appears other legislators are skeptical of this bill. The only positive change with which some CA animal control agencies and legislators have expressed mutual agreement is the increase in spay/neuter deposits for dogs and cats being raised to $200 to match the much higher rates for surgical sterilization in today’s economy.
A CLOSER LOOK AT AB 2265
In the past few weeks we have seen countries such as England, Wales, Scotland and India joining those which ban Pit Bull, XL and XXL Bullys and other dangerous dogs in order to stop the trafficking of dangerous breeds, provide safety for communities and stop the horrific attacks and deaths of innocent children and adults whose lives are ended by other people’s “protection dogs” or “rescued” pets with a known history of violent behavior.
AB 2265 – A RISK CALIFORNIA CANNOT TAKE
There is value in telling the truth about dog behavior and the greatest is in public and personal safety. What weird whim—other than personal aggrandizement or a strong campaign supporter—would cause Senator McCarthy to encourage ignoring violent past history and risk human and animal lives on a gamble that a dog with a known history of unprovoked aggression will suddenly act differently?
If we want canines to continue to be known as man’s (or woman’s) best friends, we need—just as we do with humans—to assure they have earned that trust by not misusing their innate strength and survival skills to harm those who trust and love them.
CHANGING THE STATE’S EUTHANASIA GOAL
This bill, AB 2265, introduced on February 8, 2024, drastically changes the State’s animal shelter euthanasia goal—from ending euthanasia of adoptable animals to ending euthanasia of any animal. That includes vicious dogs, wild and/or dangerous animals, prohibited animals and regulated animals.
This would create chaotic danger for adopters and pet owners and innocent residents/neighbors throughout California, while ALSO negatively and disastrously affecting the insurance and veterinary industries, according to experts.
The only exceptions in the bill that allow a dangerous animal to be euthanized are very narrow categories for medical and behavior issues:
1) those that are irremediably suffering, which is defined as those for which “severe, unremitting physical pain” cannot be relieved by any medical means without regard to cost or local availability of that level of care; and
2) Those that have been declared “vicious” under the State’s regulatory scheme, which few agencies use, and which assumes that a hearing was held after an owner contested that declaration.
According to Fast Track Democracy, “Existing law prohibits animals that are irremediably suffering from a serious illness or severe injury from being held for owner redemption or adoption. This bill would instead declare it the policy of the state that no animal be euthanized by a public animal control agency or shelter or a private entity that contracts with a public animal control agency or shelter for animal care and control services, except as provided.”
“Existing law prohibits a stray dog or cat impounded by a public or private shelter from being euthanized before 6 business days after the stray dog or cat is impounded, not including the day of impoundment, and requires that the stray dog or cat, except those irremediably suffering, be released to a nonprofit animal rescue or adoption organization before the scheduled euthanasia of the stray dog or cat if requested by the organization, as specified.” The analysis summarizes the Bill (see Fast Track Democracy).
Existing law prohibits a stray dog or cat impounded by a public or private shelter from being euthanized before 6 business days after the stray dog or cat is impounded, not including the day of impoundment, and requires that the stray dog or cat, except those irremediably suffering, be released to a nonprofit animal rescue or adoption organization before the scheduled euthanasia of the stray dog or cat if requested by the organization, as specified.
WARNINGS ABOUT THIS ‘NO KILL’ PLAN FOR DANGEROUS DOGS
A California animal-control specialist offered the following thoughts based on his personal and professional experience.
(The following is not to be taken as legal advice, but merely as guidance in further considering some issues that appear to not have been considered in pursuing these severe changes to animal sheltering under existing California laws and practices.)
“This Bill would absolutely eviscerate Food and Agricultural Code Section 31683, which allows counties and cities to have their own regulatory process for dangerous dogs, and it would force everyone to use the very-flawed State process.”
AND he summarized that:
  • This bill eliminates the limitation by the 1998 Hayden-Bill mandate and requires shelters to advertise for release even those dogs that have mauled or killed a person, and forces animal control agencies (government and humane societies with animal control contracts) to announce the pending euthanasia of any of these dogs to “rescues,” so they can take them, often placing them in unsuspecting homes.
  • Even if the bill does not require that owner-relinquished dogs that are too vicious for placement even with a rescue be released to anyone who asks for it, the mere requirement that they be advertised creates unnecessary conflict and invites protest and even litigation over the decision not to release them.
  • What is a “qualified” nonprofit animal rescue or adoption organization? The term “qualified” is not defined in the bill. In light of an appellate court interpretation of the Hayden mandate to release stray dogs facing euthanasia to a “qualified” rescue, it is vital to have that defined. If “qualified” means any corporation that has obtained its 501(c)(3) tax exempt status—which is what many will assume—then animal control will have no way to ensure that the most vicious dogs are not placed in “foster” in unsuspecting neighborhoods by people who have no idea how dangerous they are.
  • Why must it be a nonprofit organization? This bill defines an animal rescue organization to include for-profit corporations. So why are they excluded from this Bill? A nonprofit organization can pay a high number of “employees” very exorbitant salaries. A nonprofit business model is no guarantee that more of the organization’s budget will go to help animals than other business models.
  • This Bill targets only municipal shelters and humane societies that have government contracts to provide animal control services. Those are the only organizations that cannot fully control their intake, and on which there are mandates to admit animals. They are the very organizations that most need the ability to engage in euthanasia for legitimate health and safety reasons, and for which the greatest levels of leniency and understanding are justified. Yet, any other organization can euthanize healthy, adoptable animals with impunity.
Although there are many other factors considered in the analysis, this article is intended merely to present some of the dangers of creating laws and policies at any legislative level without having a thorough analysis and discussion with leaders in the field of animal control and sheltering. There is information at the end of this article if anyone wishes to read more of this analysis.
FUNDRAISING – THE POWER OF THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR
There is no better way to reach the wallets of animal lovers than through their heart strings, and sadly millions of dollars are going into pockets of executives in organizations that do not directly care for or protect animals and, of course, nothing speaks louder than donations at the lobbying and legislative level.
But, the needs of homeless animals should not be creating slush funds for campaigns nor playing on the emotions of those who are continually confronted by TV commercials and mailers, saying that just a few more dollars will save them all.
There are also human lives and safety to be considered and this is a primary responsibility of animal shelters and humane societies. It is important that they are asked what will help them do this thankless and seemingly hopeless job.
Pets are too often obtained as a short-term experience with little commitment and then abandoned within or outside these facilities that do not benefit from the money that is raised by large organizations or politicians ostensibly to help them.
Instead, these promises set unreachable goals and promote “feel-good” programs that overburden their staffing and emotions, without asking what they need to do this very difficult job from a realistic perspective.
THE BEST INDICATOR OF AN ANIMAL’S FUTURE BEHAVIOR IS ITS PAST
Not all animals are adoptable, nor should they be placed in homes where they are likely to harm, or be harmed because certain behavior is endemic to the breed. The AKC thrives on the fact that bloodlines of dogs determine or influence their predictable behavior.
Why is it this is so clear that it causes millions of people to buy purebreds for certain reasons; yet, animal shelters are expected to take in dogs with documented histories of anti-social behavior and attacks and rehome them with promises they will be “good family members” just to keep them alive?
LISTEN BEFORE VOTING, SACRAMENTO
Legislators need to listen to experts in animal control—not self-appointed voices for animals—many of whom have never worked in a shelter, before even considering new legislation.
They also need to ask their own community, “Do you feel safe from dog attacks? And/or “have you been a victim of an attack or live in fear of neighborhood animals?” They may be surprised at the number of injuries that have been suffered but didn’t make the press and how many victims may have permanent, life-limiting, disabilities for which they were never compensated.
Assembly Member McCarthy needs to walk through animal shelters in his district and ask those who work there or have been long-term volunteers, and those who take the responsibility for determining policies and the endless, sad challenges of management, “what will help you help them?”
DON’T WAIT FOR AN IRREVERSIBLE TRAGEDY
California has been very liberal (or very foolish) in allowing dogs known to have a history of aggression to be removed from shelters for adoption, but lawsuits and tragic, injuries or deaths of innocent victims have imposed limitations as to what can be tolerated philosophically and financially.
The safety of the dog itself must also be a consideration. People understandably react violently to dog attacks, using any weapon to inflict sufficient injury to stop the dog and save their own or another’s life.
Euthanasia can be the most humane option when it is indicated or determined that the animal poses a consistent threat to humans or animals in general, or poses a recurrent uncontrollable risk to the public’s and its own safety.

2024.05.19 08:00 OkBig54 I fear that I may have fatal insomnia, but…

This is kinda long so
TL;DR: I developed derealization in November, and since it has made me hallucinate, delusional at times, disassociate from reality, paranoid, made me sometimes forget how to do simple tasks, draw blanks when having a conversation, and overall making me feel like there’s something not right neurologically. Last night I did not feel tired, even thought it was late at night, and a thought came to mind that I was developing fatal insomnia. Fatal insomnia doesn’t start with sleeplessness, it starts with symptoms like the ones I had prior. I’m terrified, and I can’t get medical attention rn. Help.
Alright, here we go. (Keep in mind that I have posted here before, just on another account)
Last night I was not tired at all. I already have the conventional insomnia, but most of the time I still felt tired, with an unquenchable desire to sleep, just not being able to. However, last night, I was completely tireless, but I still wanted to sleep, no longer because I was tired, but because I should have been asleep at the time. Eventually I just closed my eyes for a few minutes and I was asleep. Months before that, on the night of November 18, 2023, I closed my eyes to sleep, when I saw a green orb on the side of my vision. It moved almost like it was alive, and then left my field of view. I opened my eyes to a world that felt a lot more fabricated than before, physically. I felt realization before in those small doses that everyone has once in a while. But this time, it was here to stay. The next day, everything felt unreal, and the it was terrifying. Thankfully, if I stopped thinking about it and distracted myself, I would feel better. Two months later, it got worse. Things started feeling really blurry, and any artificial light (especially at night) looked saturated and was almost painful to look at. I began to not recognize everyday things, like my own face, and it would almost scare me. I would be in a constant state of paranoia. My (regular) insomnia, that I had prior, got to me, and I would wake up in the middle of the night, completely delusional, believing I’m a different person. I thought I was a soldier in war, and a character in an FPS game, and some more that I forgot. After a few minutes though at most, I would slap some sense into myself. I started hallucinating too, seeing dark figures, glowing dots, and faces. It only got worse, so awful that the only place I felt I were in, were my thoughts, which were often negative at this point. I don’t know what would warrant such a state of mind; My life has been going relatively well, so there would be no reason for me to go into derealization. I started feeling dizzy often, My head sometimes hurt, and starting last month, I noticed what I can only assume to be a cognitive decline. I’ve always been a little half witted, Having a bad memory and learning things very slowly, but my communication skills were getting worse as I was struggling to find words in conversations. I also started messing up on routine things, often because I was overthinking them. My delusions were slipping into daytime too, where my derealization would disassociate me from the world so much that I would believe I was somewhere else doing something else, but the duration of this would be a fraction of a second. Oddly enough, I don’t seem to develop ataxia. This ties into fatal insomnia considering that the condition often doesn’t start with the lack of sleep, but a mental decline, not necessarily a severe one (I’m not an expert obviously) And up until last night, I may have been in that stage. This is the start of the insomnia, I’m scared. The youngest person to die from sporadic fatal insomnia was the same age I am (16) I would drive to a doctor, but my parents aren’t allowing me to get a drivers license until i’m 18. I also cannot convince my parents to take me to the doctors because it’s a “waste of their time.” At this point the only thing I can do is exaggerate the symptoms now. As of typing this I don’t even feel like I truly am. I just feel like a jumble of thoughts watching something moving.

2024.05.19 07:57 Street-Reindeer5234 Duelist Changes are Coming in Patch 8.11. Here are the Comprehensive Changes in the Duelist Roster that I Cooked for Months.

But first off, I want to clearly state my objectives for these changes:
General:
Specific:
Targets:
Rank in terms of Movement:
  1. Neon
  2. Jett
  3. Raze
  4. Yoru
  5. Iso
  6. Phoenix
Rank in terms of ability functions: (1- having the most self-aiding abilities, and 6- having the most enemy-debuffing abilties; Ultimates not counted)
  1. Jett (3 abilities for self)
  2. Iso (2 for self, 1 for enemy)
  3. Neon (2, 1)
  4. Yoru (1, 2)
  5. Raze (1, 2)
  6. Phoenix (3 for enemies)
Ideal Map Size for Each Duelists:
Jett: flexible Raze: mid-ranged - close-ranged Neon: mid-ranged - long-ranged Phoenix: close-ranged Iso: mid-ranged Yoru: long-ranged (Bind being an exception because of the presence of teleport portals)
So, here are the changes with my reasonings:
1.) JETT [No Changes]
2.) RAZE [Nerf]
Make Paintshells her Q, and Blast Packs her E
Q: Paintshells - Make shootable (100HP) while still in the air; will explode upon shooting.
E: Blast Pack - Rechargeable every two kills (one pack). Only displaces Raze. No equip delay for it to deal damage.
X: Showstopper - Remove the feature/bug that sents Raze flying when fired to the ground in combo with a satchel.
3.) NEON [Buff/Rework]
  1. Neon retains her movement ability as it is, but gets buffs to her other abilities, including ult.
  2. Neon gets buffs to her movement ability but retains her other abilities.
If chosen the latter, the changes would be:
E: High Gear - Introduce a new passive that will replace the slide: SURGE. Right-click while sprinting to quickly drain Neon's energy meter and surge- during this period, she runs twice (2.5x) the speed as her normal sprint. (5m/s increased to 12.5m/s). When activated, the energy meter drains 4x as fast and will not recharge anymore for the remainder of the round. Passive is usable only once per round.
E: (Electric Slide) - Make electric slide usable everytime Neon sprints: but only moves her as far as 3m. To slide and pull out gun after sprinting, press Ctrl key (crouch). Sliding after Surge moves Neon for 7m.
X: Neon cannot shoot electric field during surge while ulted.
4.) PHOENIX [Rework]
Make C ability (Blaze) his Q and His flashes his C.
Q: Blaze - Has 4s Duration (1s casting period included), 15 dps. Can be casted through walls. Already deals damage during the casting period. Casting/curving the wall is now faster. Phoenix will not get healed by the wall anymore. But casting it induces a speed boost of about 15%.
E: Hot Hands - Resembles Raze's grenade more than Brimstone's molly now. Ability model now looks like a campfire, unlike before when it looked like a lava flow. Area of damage effect spreads over time throughout its 3s duration. Ticks 35 damage per second. Does not heal Phoenix anymore.
X: Run it Back - Ult points required: 6 > 8
5.) ISO [Rework]
Make his C ability (bulletproof wall), attached to his E ability for it to work like this: when Iso gets a shield, he can detach it from his body and turn it into a forward-moving impenetrable wall as the ability window ends. Then, replace it with a new C ability.
C: (cant think of a name for it) - Iso's MOVEMENT ability. Equip to instantly send out a flying aimlab orb (like a sova drone but has the same speed of gekko's thrash) for 2s. Has 2 charges: equip the 2nd charge while the previous charge's timer is running out to refresh the ability timer. After the timer expires, Iso will be teleported to the land directly below the orb. Has the same gun pullout speed as Yoru.
Q: Undercut - Aside from the vulnerability, add a new status effect: ISOLATION. Enemies hit by it will have narrowed down vision (similar to spike rush paranoia) and will be unable to make crossfires with their ally/allies. This debuff won't allow for the narrowed vision cone of the affected player to intercept with the vision cone of his/her ally. Charge decreased: 2 > 1
E: Double Tap - Charge decreased from 2 > 1. Duration of focused activity decreased to 10s.
Okay, explanations here we go:
C: From ISO's pov
C: From allies' pov
C: From enemy's pov
Q: How does it work?
6.) YORU [Buff]
E teleport anchor & Q projectile now move depending on Yoru's velocity during casting (similar to Omen's paranoia before it was patched out). Moving forward: faster, backward: slower, still: normal.
7.) REYNA [Rework]
C: Leer - Invisible when still in motion, only becomes visible and nearsights enemy when already at targeted position.
E: Dismiss & Q: Devour - still has shared two charges. But the left part now (under E) is highlighted purple, while the right part is white. The latter charge is purchasable.Reyna has one free purple charge every round. Q is now usable even WITHOUT harvesting a soul orb- this consumes the white charge. When Q activated, enter a 12s activation window (similar to Jett's tailwind) that grants Reyna increased gun pull out speed and quiet footsteps even when running with melee out. When the timer expires, all the damage incurred by Reyna during the 12s window will be healed at a rate of 20HP/s. Press Q while the window is active to abruptly finish the timer and heal up. Throughout the interaction, Reyna does not have ability cast animations.
Press Q while a soul orb is in line of sight to OVERHEAL with it (like how it works now)- this consumes the purple charge. E is only usable through a soul orb- this also consumes the purple charge.
X: Empress - Enter frenzy mode. The purple charge gets unlimited and can be used as long as there is a soul orb available. Ult points requirement: 7 > 6
And those are all the changes. If you made it to the end, thank you for reading my weeks worth of thinking.

2024.05.19 07:46 goldrecovery The Dark Allure of Gold Man's lust for gold

The Dark Allure of Gold Man's lust for gold
The allure of gold has captivated humanity for millennia, manifesting in myths, exploration, conflict, and art. This fascination, often termed "gold fever," is deeply ingrained in various aspects of human history and psychology. Here’s a deeper look into the dark allure of gold and mankind's enduring lust for it:
The Dark Allure of Gold Man's lust for gold
https://preview.redd.it/r35xa0mqmb1d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8dcf915916b43caf367c8d496751bf582ee8d66a

Historical Significance

  1. **Ancient Civilizations:**
- **Egyptians:** Gold was central to ancient Egyptian culture, symbolizing eternity and the divine. The pharaohs were often buried with vast amounts of gold, believing it would aid their journey in the afterlife.
- **Incas and Aztecs:** These civilizations revered gold, considering it the sweat of the sun. The Spanish conquest, driven by the quest for gold, led to the fall of these great empires and significant suffering.
  1. **The Gold Rushes:**
- **California Gold Rush (1848-1855):** This event attracted hundreds of thousands of people to California, seeking fortune. While it led to rapid development, it also caused environmental destruction and displacement of Native Americans.
- **Klondike Gold Rush (1896-1899):** Similarly, this rush in the Yukon brought wealth to some but hardship to many more, highlighting the relentless and often ruthless pursuit of gold.

Psychological and Social Impact

  1. **Symbol of Wealth and Power:**
- Gold has long been a symbol of wealth, status, and power. It is a universal indicator of prosperity, often seen in jewelry, currency, and trophies.
  1. **Greed and Corruption:**
- The desire for gold has led to numerous instances of greed and corruption. From the brutal conquests of the Spanish conquistadors to modern-day illegal mining, the quest for gold often brings out the worst in humanity.
  1. **Economic Stability:**
- Historically, gold has been a standard for currency, with many nations backing their money with gold reserves. While it provided economic stability, it also led to exploitation and conflict over gold-rich territories.

Environmental and Ethical Concerns

  1. **Mining Impact:**
- Gold mining is notoriously harmful to the environment. It involves deforestation, water pollution from toxic chemicals like cyanide and mercury, and significant land degradation.
  1. **Human Rights Issues:**
- In many parts of the world, gold mining is associated with poor working conditions, child labor, and exploitation. Small-scale miners, often working in hazardous conditions, face health risks and economic instability.

Modern-Day Relevance

  1. **Investment:**
- Gold remains a popular investment, considered a safe haven during economic instability. However, this demand continues to drive environmentally and socially damaging mining practices.
  1. **Technological Use:**
- Gold's properties make it valuable in technology, particularly in electronics and medical devices. This industrial demand contributes to its ongoing extraction.

Cultural Reflections

  1. **Art and Literature:**
- Gold is a frequent motif in art and literature, symbolizing both human ambition and moral corruption. From Greek myths like the story of King Midas to modern novels and films, gold often serves as a metaphor for the double-edged nature of wealth.
  1. **Religious and Philosophical Symbolism:**
- Gold's incorruptibility and luster have made it a symbol in many religions and philosophies. It represents purity, enlightenment, and the eternal, but also the danger of materialism and avarice.

Conclusion

The dark allure of gold reflects the complex relationship humans have with this precious metal. It is a story of ambition, beauty, and wealth, but also of greed, destruction, and moral downfall. Understanding this duality is crucial as we navigate the ethical and environmental challenges posed by our ongoing fascination with gold.
When it comes to the distribution and sources of gold on Earth, here are some of the key places where this precious metal can be found
  1. Gold mines - Most of the world's accessible gold comes from underground and surface mines. Major gold mining regions include
- Witwatersrand Basin (South Africa)
- Nevada (United States)
- Siberia (Russia)
- Red Lake (Canada)
- Western Australia
  1. Rivers and streams - Erosion and weathering can cause gold particles and nuggets to be carried away from their original sources into waterways. Placer mining from rivers and streams has yielded significant gold deposits.
  2. Oceanic crusts and sea floors - While difficult to access, there are trace amounts of gold dissolved in seawater and embedded in volcanic crusts on the ocean floor.
  3. Asteroid and meteorite impacts - Some of the gold found on Earth's surface may have extraterrestrial origins from ancient asteroid/meteorite bombardment.
  4. Recycled sources - A significant amount of gold supply comes from recycling jewelry, electronics, and industrial scrap containing gold components.
  5. Ore deposits - Gold is often found combined with other metals like copper or silver in various ore bodies formed underground.
While gold is relatively widespread across the planet, only a few locations have economically viable concentrations to support large-scale mining operations. Most of the world's gold has been extracted from just a handful of exceptionally prolific gold fields and deposits.
"Man's lust for gold" is a phrase that encapsulates humanity's age-old obsession and unquenchable desire for the precious yellow metal. This lust has driven people to incredible lengths throughout history, shaping economies, sparking conflicts, and altering the course of civilizations.
Gold More than just a precious metal, gold has held a special allure for humans since ancient times. Its rarity, beauty, and malleability have made it a symbol of wealth, power, and status across cultures.
From the ancient Egyptian pharaohs' gilded tombs to the frenzied California Gold Rush, from the insatiable hoarding of dragons in folklore to the modern-day trading of gold as a hedging asset

2024.05.19 07:09 Superman811 Next steps for a Respiratory Therapist!

Hey yall! I've been creeping on this subreddit for a minute. I have a bachelors in psychology and a degree as a registered respiratory therapist and work in a hospital. I now am considering moving up in life maybe into administration? Not sure yet but i've just been brainstorming. I've done a lot of research and all I've been told is to go pursue my MBA. Others have told me to get an MPH instead and others have told me to def do a dual degree MBA/MPH. Totally lost on what to do.
Any advice from ya'll would be appreciated! Anyone here in the medical field and went back and did your MBA? Thank you everyone in advace!

2024.05.19 07:08 OkBig54 I’m scared that I may have fatal insomnia, but…

This is kinda long so
TL;DR: I developed derealization in November, and since it has made me hallucinate, delusional at times, disassociate from reality, paranoid, made me sometimes forget how to do simple tasks, draw blanks when having a conversation, and overall making me feel like there’s something not right neurologically. Last night I did not feel tired, even thought it was late at night, and a thought came to mind that I was developing fatal insomnia. Fatal insomnia doesn’t start with sleeplessness, it starts with symptoms like the ones I had prior. I’m terrified, and I can’t get medical attention rn. Help.
Alright, here we go. (Keep in mind that I have posted here before, just on another account)
Last night I was not tired at all. I already have the conventional insomnia, but most of the time I still felt tired, with an unquenchable desire to sleep, just not being able to. However, last night, I was completely tireless, but I still wanted to sleep, no longer because I was tired, but because I should have been asleep at the time. Eventually I just closed my eyes for a few minutes and I was asleep. Months before that, on the night of November 18, 2023, I closed my eyes to sleep, when I saw a green orb on the side of my vision. It moved almost like it was alive, and then left my field of view. I opened my eyes to a world that felt a lot more fabricated than before, physically. I felt realization before in those small doses that everyone has once in a while. But this time, it was here to stay. The next day, everything felt unreal, and the it was terrifying. Thankfully, if I stopped thinking about it and distracted myself, I would feel better. Two months later, it got worse. Things started feeling really blurry, and any artificial light (especially at night) looked saturated and was almost painful to look at. I began to not recognize everyday things, like my own face, and it would almost scare me. I would be in a constant state of paranoia. My (regular) insomnia, that I had prior, got to me, and I would wake up in the middle of the night, completely delusional, believing I’m a different person. I thought I was a soldier in war, and a character in an FPS game, and some more that I forgot. After a few minutes though at most, I would slap some sense into myself. I started hallucinating too, seeing dark figures, glowing dots, and faces. It only got worse, so awful that the only place I felt I were in, were my thoughts, which were often negative at this point. I don’t know what would warrant such a state of mind; My life has been going relatively well, so there would be no reason for me to go into derealization. I started feeling dizzy often, My head sometimes hurt, and starting last month, I noticed what I can only assume to be a cognitive decline. I’ve always been a little half witted, Having a bad memory and learning things very slowly, but my communication skills were getting worse as I was struggling to find words in conversations. I also started messing up on routine things, often because I was overthinking them. My delusions were slipping into daytime too, where my derealization would disassociate me from the world so much that I would believe I was somewhere else doing something else, but the duration of this would be a fraction of a second. Oddly enough, I don’t seem to develop ataxia. This ties into fatal insomnia considering that the condition often doesn’t start with the lack of sleep, but a mental decline, not necessarily a severe one (I’m not an expert obviously) And up until last night, I may have been in that stage. This is the start of the insomnia, I’m scared. The youngest person to die from sporadic fatal insomnia was the same age I am (16) I would drive to a doctor, but my parents aren’t allowing me to get a drivers license until i’m 18. I also cannot convince my parents to take me to the doctors because it’s a “waste of their time.” At this point the only thing I can do is exaggerate the symptoms now. As of typing this I don’t even feel like I truly am. I just feel like a jumble of thoughts watching something moving.

2024.05.19 06:53 Forsaken-Paramedic-4 Help! Weird Experience

So for context, I have a sensitivity to weather events and air pressure changes that can give me headaches in a day or hours before oncoming storms, tornadoes or hurricanes warnings watches give me intense ear pressure pains. During normal storms, I’ll have a headache beforehand sometimes hours or a whole day beforehand, next, a couple minutes or even mere seconds before it rains, I’ll get shiver cold chill tingling and shake like I’m shaking off excess energy, and then in 15 to 20 min or so when it releases and rains, the headache goes away and I will get the sleepy, drowsy, content, peaceful feeling and have this cold chill tingle pitter patter feeling that feels like misty rain drizzle sprinkling but fainter. When lightning is very intense or particularly colse, my skin will tingle and my hairs will stand up but it’s not as close as others have reported when this happened to them. During last week, I had a bunch of different little things happening to me all at once that all started about the same time, last Wednesday, maybe Tuesday, and peaked last Friday and have thus far prolonged but have been slowly dropping off. I have had super vivid lucid dreams. Out of body experiences are ridiculously easy at the moment when normally they are more difficult to attain. Prolonged hypnogogic states between awake and sleep are happening every time I fall asleep and wake up and my sleep schedule is abruptly all out of wack all last week. The super relaxed mindless drifting morning meditative like relaxation and peacefulness you get when first waking up is lasting most of the morning instead of just 15 to 20 mins. Empty mind and mindful meditation peacefulness and serenity are coming to me absurdly easy when normally I have to gradually quiet and focus my mind. I am very sleepy relaxed content-at times almost very scattered, confused, or spaced out, difficulty focusing or mustering up willpower to do stuff-it almost makes me think of how I am when tipsy drunk but no physical effects of alcohol and I haven’t started any new medication or diet changes that could cause side effects-, and wanting to just do no work, just sit, lay, and immerse myself in my surrounding environment or the empty mind. With no rain, I have had tingling cold chills like excessive energy or mild electrical potential feel in the air like when near big Tesla coils I saw once on a school field trip and goosebumps on and off over that last week, and it’s more often and intense when I’m outside, same for the headaches. In extreme weather, I will have an instinctive feeling urge to take all my pillows and blankets and snacks and water and will “nest” hunker down in my closet and I’ve felt that urge last week-more so out of an almost winter hibernation feeling sleepy drowsiness and comfort rather than the usual instinctive urge to hunker down-yet no extreme weather. I have an old hip bruising from a playground incident in middle school that acts up when it’s cold and we’ve been getting 70s F weather and yet it’s acting up. I am wanting to sleep or try more lucid dreams or out of body experiences to the point it’s more an urge than a meager want, and my interest in spiritual stuff has increased abruptly to an almost laser focus obsessive compulsive I-want-to-know-everything-I-possibly-can level to where I’m doing one completely different thing and I derail back to spiritual stuff. So all these physical and mental things I’ve experienced last week were very similar to what I experience during storms or extreme weather, but we didn’t have any extreme weather in my area last week, and the before and during storm symptoms happened at the same time while being amped up ridiculously intense, and all this extra spiritual stuff, all starting, peaking, and decreasing all happening at the exact same time, leads me to suspect that something out in the world triggered all this, but the absence of any usual triggering bad weather in the area plus the spiritual stuff is confusing. If anyone actually read this and has any ideas or has or is going through something similar, any theories or ideas would be helpful. Body sensitivity, chemicals, hormones, brain wave stuff, ESP, bioelectric field, chakras, any spiritual or scientific theories are welcome at this point if it means I might get some answers.

2024.05.19 06:45 pacmanboss256 Body Press variant

Ok we all know body press is an 80 base power fighting type physical attack that uses the users defense stat in damage calculation with no side effects. However, I have another idea! What if the move used the user's attack stat to deal damage? It would have to be a normal type attack since the damage is calculated normally, and theres no reason to add secondary effects. We can call it something generic like "Strength" since "Body Slam" is taken. If you're feeling extra spicy, why not even use it as a field move to push heavy objects around? I'm sure it can create some fun puzzles!
Example moveset:
Bewear @ Choice Band Ability: Klutz Tera Type: Normal EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD Lonely Nature - Strength - Body Press - Mega Punch - Leer
Choice band means you hit extra hard with 125 base attack stat
Klutz means you aren't choice locked!! EVs for attack to hit harder with stab strength and HP evs for bulk
Lonely nature because we need more attack and who needs defense when this mon has fluffy as an ability! the mindgames are strong
Strength!!! 80 bp physical stab with no drawbacks and plenty of pp to click the button!!
Body press is also stab i guess but kind of lame tbh....
Mega punch for comparison, less accuracy but more pp
Leer is just filler but if a bear leered at me i would be scared

2024.05.19 06:39 Tree1923 [M4F] The Outlaw & the Bounty Hunter.

The Old West. An era of chaos and violence. Gunslingers, bounty hunters, outlaws. a time of opportunity.
One name rises above the rest, a name that some claim is nothing but an urban legend. A legendary outlaw, the scourge of every lawman and bounty hunter in the state.
This outlaw was known for their finesse, carrying out large scale bank and train robberies without Injuring a single civilian. Contrarily, they were also known for their brutality against those who wronged them. Mostly lawman hunting them down.
Another name rises, on the other side of the law. A bounty hunter. The best of the best. Famous for taking down some of the biggest criminals in the west. The scourge of any two-bit thug or gunslinger, if they came after you, you might as well turn yourself in right away.
What happens when these two, experts in their opposing fields meet? What happens when our hunter picks up a bounty on our outlaw. Immovable object meets unstoppable force.
Hey y’all! Thanks for reading the prompt. I left the pronouns neutral purposefully, as I don’t mind who I would I play. I’d happily write as the outlaw or the hunter. If you’re interested, shoot me a chat or a message and we can discuss further. If you’d like, this could be a classic enemies-to-lovers romance, or purely a cat and mouse chase.
If you’re interested, please include in your first message who’d you like to be, and your favourite piece of western media. (Mines RDR2!)

2024.05.19 06:18 user4679072 Abyg dahil late akong nag sorry?

I'm a graduating SHS student from UST. Nung 1st term ng grade 12, nag ka line of 7 ako sa isang subject which is chemistry. Isang quarter lang naman yung line of 7 and ayos naman lahat ng grades ko sa ibang subject, sa chem lang talaga pumalya.
Wala akong excuses sa kapalyahan ko. Hindi talaga ako nag pursigi noong time na yon, burn out ako physically and mentally pero bumawi naman ako ngayong 2nd term.
Fast forward, sinabi ko sa mom ko na nag ka line of 7 ako. Hindi ako proud, I just told her the truth. She was very disappointed. Because back in elem and JHS I'm an honor student achiever ba ayun hahaha. Ramdam na randam ko pag ka disappoint niya. Well, I understand kasi naman naghihirap siya para ipag-aral ako dito sa UST eh. Talagang madidisappoint talaga sa line of 7 ko. Kaya it's understandable na magalit at mainis siya sakin kasi halos binigay na niya lahat for me and I couldn't even make her proud.
I have a dorm plus may allowance ako and hindi naman strict parents ko. So I have the freedom that I want. Don't get me wrong I'm not the type of student to party all night. Sadyang hindi ko lang ma-grasps yung subject na chemistry and hindi ko talaga forte ang Health Sciences. That's my biggest mistake I guess. Trying to pursue something that I'm not passionate about just to please my mother. Gusto niya kasi ng anak na doktor. Mahirap mama, masyado akong bobo para dyan haha baka in my next life.
Anyway, I took USTET. I passed my priority program, so it seems di naman ako bobo hahaha. When I passed, kahit one word of "Congrats" wala akong narinig from them. Hayst. Alam ko namang hindi na nila ako pag aaralin sa UST. One because the program that I'm qualified for ay hindi align with Medical field and two since nga nagkaline of 7 ako wala ng bilib sakin mga magulang ko. Tanggap ko naman na hindi na nila ako pag aaralin sa UST, pero syempre dahil medyo makulit ako parang biniro biro ko sila "Mama UST nalang ako ulit please". Yung tono ko biro biro lang pero I'm not sure how my mom took it.
After a few days, bigla akong minessage ng ate ko. Pinagalitan niya ako sa family GC. Sinabi niya na deserve ko talaga na di na mag aral ulit sa dream school ko dahil sa kapalyahan ko. At napaka selfish ko daw, hindi ko raw iniisip pag hihirap ng magulang namin. She told me na kahit anong gawin ko madidisappoint sakin si mama.
Masakit lang para sa akin, ikaw ba namang pagsabihan ng ganon. Pero I know na sinabi niya yon sakin para magising ako sa katotohanan which is gising na gising pa ako pero that added salt to the wound talaga. Parang napakalaki ng kasalanan ko for getting a line of 7 in one quarter in one subject.
Syempre hindi ko na nireplyan, nag seen lang ako. Ano bang sasabihin ko? Hindi ko alam nung mga time na yon what's the right word to say... Baka magalit lang siya pag nag reply ako. My sister is older and she's pregnant with her first child, ayoko namang dumagdag ako sa stress niya. Kaya hinayaan ko lang, baka naglalabas lang ng stress toh. For now I'll just be the punching bag. I can take it naman. Lagi naman silang ganito sa akin.
A few days after nag chat siya sa GC, "Bati na tayo" tas mention ng name ko. Akala ko nag jojoke lang yung message kasi ang sarcastic and finals namin nung chinat niya yon. Ayoko munang madistract at baka mag break down pa ako so hindi ko muna pinansin yung message sa GC. Pero I accidentally left it on seen. This is not on purpose and hindi ko rin alam irereply ko kaya hindi talaga ako nag reply. I was still processing everything and I felt kinda depressed that week. And a small part of me resent her dahil sa mga sinabi niya sa akin, fresh pa yung wound ganon.
So fast forward, this week gender reveal nila ate. And naturang mag ooverlap siya sa schedule ng graduation practice namin (Gragraduate pa rin naman haha). So tinanong ko sa isa ko pang kapatid paano ko pag sisiksikan yung schedule and nag chat si kapatid sa GC asking what time end ng gender reveal.
After nun nag reply si ate na kahit wag na daw akong umattend, di naman daw nila ako kailangan. Hindi ako nag seen sa GC pero nabasa ko sa notification bar yung reply niya. Then minutes after nun nag chat siya sa akin sa personal message naman. Sabi niya dadalhin ko daw lahat netong mga ginagawa ko hanggang sa pagtanda. She basically cursed me out. Asking bakit ko daw siya tinatarantado eh buntis nga siya. Nagkikipagbati siya tas ako I had the audacity to left her message on read.
After a day ng message niyang yon nag sorry ako sakanya sa personal message. Very sincere and genuine yung sorry ko. Tinanggap ko kahit it felt very unjustified nung pinapagalitan niya ako sa GC. Nagpakumbaba ako, I told her na syempre ayoko dalhin toh hanggang sa pagtanda ko and as expected hindi niya binuksan yung message ko. I deserve that for responding so late.
Ngayon sa tingin ko habangbuhay na siyang may sama ng loob sa akin. I don't even know what I did wrong (Maybe this is me being ignorant pero I'm genuinely confused) Bakit parang hindi ako pamilya sa sarili kong pamilya? Why do I have to walk on eggshells all the time? Bakit lahat nalang ng nakikita nila sa akin ay yung negative traits ko? Ansakit sakit lang. Naiingit tuloy ako sa mga kaibigan kong may healthy relationship sa family nila, bat pag ako parang stranger na trato sa akin.
Ako ba yung gago sa sitwasyon na toh dahil hindi ko nireplyan yung pakikipagbati niya sa GC?

2024.05.19 06:04 Ok_Seat_2790 Overcoming Trauma

I'd really appreciate any kind words!
In applying to a job I cared a lot about, where I'd indirectly help others, I was placed in a vulnerable position, I was treated passive aggressively, and at times laughed at, but not directly.
It's left me experiencing trauma, which was identified through therapy. I've done a lot to try to help myself. I tried firstly to just focus on getting the job. I was discounted from it, and tried to get that resolved, but I was politely told that doing so would involve what for me would be a complicated process and take time to gather evidences, most of which I wasn't privy to.
I've also tried moving on with my life, interviewing for other jobs. I've been volunteering in my community and supporting others. This has been incredibly rewarding. I have also been gradually taken off preventative psychiatric medication for an old wound, of sorts, because I wanted to feel more present, etc.
I'm clinging on to contesting what I experienced. It disgusts me how I was treated, I want to see that things are improved for others.
I'll have to wait a while before I have access to a piece of paperwork I feel I need. Materially, I don't have much to gain by complaining, but it's really about the principle. However, it feels like I need to prioritise my reality. I'm burning out, and have other things coming up in my life. Sometimes in life bad things happen, and we have to pick our battles.
I've changed a fair amount, and I'm more compassionate towards myself. Letting things go isn't giving up, it's just recognising priorities. I guess I can't truly be objective because I am too close to something that's deeply affected me. It's tough.
Thank you!! Xx

2024.05.19 06:02 LucyAriaRose AITAH For telling my stepdaughter she is welcome to go live with her mother full time because I won't get rid of my Harry Potter themed bookcase?

I am NOT the Original Poster. That is u/JazzlikeOriginal358. They posted in AmItheAsshole
Trigger Warning: discussions of transphobia
Mood Spoiler: moving in a positive direction
Original Post: March 22, 2024
I'm having a bit of family drama and need a reality check about if I am being unreasonable here. I really need the perspective of LGBT+ sensitive individuals because the drama surrounds transphobia perpetrated by JK Rowling.
My step daughter is going through a pretty tough time. The last couple years have been really rough on her. She has been dealing with bullying at school, being held back a year, not getting along with her mom's new husband, self harm and identity issues. Lots of questioning of her sexuality and gender. (We have been working on getting her a good mental health team of doctors and therapists to help her navigate all of this, please know we aren't throwing her to the wolves or internet to deal with it all herself).
I've been in her life since she was 7. We've always had a pretty good, though not terribly close, relationship. I have not taken on a parental role, but have always tried to make myself available for her.
Until last year, her mom had primary custody and her dad had weekends with alternating holidays. Last year due to the issues with her school and mom's house, my stepdaughter requested that custody arrangements be changed.
Since she came to live with my husband and I full time, there has been quite a bit of friction between the two of us. One of the biggest points of contention is my Harry Potter fandom, particularly "The Bookcase", and my supposed transphobia (due to my apparently "wrong" stance when it comes to the politics regarding trans issues in our country)
I grew up in the hayday. So many of my childhood and teen memories are tied to the franchise. My friends and I were all really into it. We attend midnight book releases, dressed up in costume for movie releases, threw HP themed parties when we wanted to hang out, etc. In many ways it shaped the course of my entire life, those same friends and I joined our high school's botany club because herbology. That unlocked a lifelong passion of mine and my career is working with plants.
Over the years I've collected quite a bit of memorabilia, many of which are gifts, and they have always been displayed on my most prized possession. A monstrously large custom bookcase my grandfather, a former woodworker, built for me when I was a teenager. I love this thing. The shelves are live edge black walnut slabs. All around the casing my grandpa carved beautiful HP themed imagery. Owls, cauldrons, shooting stars, lightning bolts, an adorable little rat at the bottom and nibble marks from said rat, etc. It's both sentimental and valuable (the slabs of walnut for the shelves alone would be pushing a grand, let alone attempting to value the hand carved craftmanship). The bookcase has always been proudly displayed in my home. It currently lives in our living room.
During one of our family therapy sessions, my stepdaughter expressed that seeing my HP shelf made her feel really uncomfortable because of the author and that she was really disappointed in me and her father for being so supportive of a biggot. I apologized for making her feel uncomfortable in her own home, and said that I would take down the HP stuff.
So I packed up all the HP themed merch off the shelves. Made sure I didn't have the books or anything on display that said "Harry Potter" anywhere. I bought some LED grow lights and converted the bookcase into a plant shelf to display succulents. I bought some witchy, but not overtly harry potter, themed pots for the little guys so they'd go with the shelf.
This was not an acceptable compromise for my stepdaughter and has remained a point of contention. With my stepdaughter hurling that I/we (referring to my husband) broke a promise by saying we would get rid of the Harry Potter stuff. I tried to explain to my stepdaughter that, while I do not agree with JK Rowling's political stance at all, the media has a special place in my heart because of my childhood association with it and that the shelf was very important to me because it was a gift from my grandpa, but she maintains that none of that should matter because in 2024 it is nothing but a symbol of transphobia and hate.
At first my husband was supportive of me and my desire to keep my bookcase, but lately the arguments are wearing on him and he asked me if I would reconsider keeping it in the living room. Suggesting we rent a storage unit to house it in.
After the most recent blow up about it, I kinda lost my temper. I didn't yell or anything, but I did very firmly tell my stepdaughter that this is my home and my bookshelf stays. If it is such a big problem for her, she can always go back to live with her mother.
I knew it was a low blow pretty much as soon as I said it. I quickly apologized but it was out there. My stepdaughter has been on an emotional downward spiral.
My husband and I have been arguing almost nonstop. I think it is mostly stress because he is at his wits end with how to help his daughter but he is becoming pretty mean and nasty towards me. Telling me to "grow up and just get rid of the fucking bookcase"
I know I was a dick for saying my stepdaughter could always go back to live with her mom (and I suspect that will be the main topic at hand in our next family therapy session).
But am I really being unreasonable in wanting to keep my beloved bookcase?
EDIT: Thank you everyone. Honestly. Thank you for those who shared their insight and advice and thank you to the people who have asked me hard questions that made me think. Especially those who asked what matters more, a bookcase or a/my child?
I've been reflecting really hard on what my bookcase means to me an why it is so important. I'm hitting some deep truths I don't think I was ready to recognize about how I really feel about my relationship with my step daughter.
All in all I think we just need to shelf things until our next therapy session. (I'll see myself out...)
Relevant Comments:
Commenter: Can you temporarily put it in storage until she’s off to college, then take it back out? That way it will be safe, and everyone can take a deep breath and calm down a little.
OOP: I looked into storage units when my husband suggested it, for the size and climate/humidity control we would need it would cost us approximately $7,500 to store my shelf until she goes to college.
It's cost prohibitive.
Commenter: Why can't you just move the bookcase into the primary bedroom?
OOP: It's 7' x 4' x 1', made of solid wood, and we have a L shaped stair case.
The only way it is going upstairs is if it is completely dismantled and rebuilt. I don't have the skills, knowledge or tools to do that and hiring out a task like that is cost prohibitive especially because it would have to be done again when moving the bookcase back out.
Commenter: NTA. You need to put that bookcase in a room with locks, because your husband is going sell it or damage it.
OOP: My husband isn't an emotionally unstable monster. I don't believe he would ever do anything like that to me. I wouldn't have married him if he was that kind of person.
(to another commenter): I have absolutely zero concern about my husband doing anything to it. He isn't that kind of person. He is incredibly stressed out about all of this and has said shitty things in anger but this isn't some tv show where he and my stepdaughter are going to have daddy and daughter bonding time with a sledge hammer.
Commenter: I think he was just frustrated and worried about his daughter. Hopefully you can talk it out with him and he will apologize for the "grow up" comment.
OOP: That is my impression in regards to him too.
I can't imagine how hard it must be to see your child suffering and not being able to fix that pain.
I've been doing my best to give him grace due to the circumstances.
It is something we will address when he has the spoons to do so.
Commenter: One question: who owns or rents the house you are living in? If it is yours you can suggest that your husband move out and get a place of his own to his daughter liking
OOP: My husband and I purchased it together. We are both on the mortgage.
Commenter: Then time to figure out who stays, who goes, and how the equity...if any...is split.
OOP: I don't intend to divorce my husband and throw away a decade plus long relationship because he said one shitty thing to me during a period of great stress for him.
Commenter: If he destroys the bookcase to show solidarity with his daughter, what will you do?
OOP: Have him pink slipped.
That is not the action of a reasonable adult. I would be very concerned for his mental state.
Commenter: I wonder if she made similar unreasonable demands in her mother’s home or at school that lead you to the conflict there?
OOP: Part of the issues with her homelife with her mother involved my step daughter demanding that her mother choose between her now husband and her because mom's husband's political views.
So, this isn't exactly left field behavior.
Commenter: Your stepdaughter needs a massive reality check and probably different therapists.
OOP: oof. We are on our 5th
More on therapy:
Yes. She meets with a psychiatrist as well as her therapists.
(to a different commenter) We are in family counseling already. Couple's counseling is likely to happen if there isn't a resolution to this current bookcase issue in the very near future.
Commenter: Info needed: what is your ‘wrong stance’ when it comes to trans issues?
OOP: I'm kinda middle of the road when it comes to the trans political issues, and mostly take the stance of "I don't know, I have my own feelings about the issues but as it is not my area of expertise I am not beholden to them and I will leave these big problems up to the people who have made learning about them their focus of study"
Like, I get my feathers ruffled when medically uneducated politicians try to interfere with any kind of health care. Like seriously ruffled.
I believe that people facing gender identity issues should have free and easy access to health care and therapy to navigate those issues.
I believe that society in general should strive to use preferred pronouns if only as a matter of politeness.
But when it comes to things like trans people in sports or having afab only "safe spaces" - I see both sides of the argument and refer back to my "I think this should be left up to the people who focus on this and not form a super strong opinion either way based on my lay opinion"
OOP is voted NTA
Update Post: May 12, 2024 (1.5 months later)
Some one asked if I could update this situation, and I'll try my best to summarize the past several weeks.
My husband and I spoke about the situation. He apologized for being snappish with me, and agreed that SD was being unreasonable about the bookcase. He ultimately agreed to back me about it. He and I are just as tight as we ever have been.
I once again apologized to my SD for the remark I said out of frustration about her moving back with her mom. I reiterated that our home is her home too and she is always welcome here. That even though families sometimes fight and disagree we ARE family.
But the general argument about HP, JK Rowling, and my bookcase continued to escalate for a couple weeks. And then the discontent about that started to bleed over into complaints about me. She started to be more disrespectful and sarcastic.
During all of this we were still attending our family therapy sessions. Our therapist was pretty certain that the misbehavior was anxiety related and didn't suggest that we give in to the demands to have the bookcase removed and wanted to just keep working on the things we all have been.
Well, SD's disrespectful attitude hit a climax. She called me the c word and some other choice things within my husband's ear shot. My husband honestly kinda lost it on her. I don't think I have EVER seen him that angry before. He was bright red and vein popping angry as he marched her to her room and declared "YOU WILL NOT SPEAK TO MY WIFE IN SUCH A WAY".
This was probably the first time my SD had ever seen her dad angry, let alone anger directed at her. It left her pretty shook. Like that was her rock bottom. We ended up needing to do a couple emergency session with her counselor because there was concern about her relapsing with some self-destructive issues she has been working on.
But that incident lead to us having a break through. Her counselor invited my husband and I into one of her sessions, and she had a bit of a break down. Basically she was dealing with a lot of existential dread and a lot of fear due to politics and it being an election year.
That ended up being an excellent opening for us to bond. This is gonna sound silly but I was able to pull up my social media timelines back from 2016 and I showed her some of the things I had written or had shared with me back then.
She was able to see that I shared a lot of the same fears that she has.
So we have all had some really big talks about things like feeling helpless when things are out of your control, about disengaging from the media machine for your own mental health, etc.
Things have been on the upswing since then. Before she left for her mom's this past weekend she even gave me a mother's day gift. An adorable little planter that says Caution: Mandrakes.
I love it. I put one of my favorite props in it and it is front and center on the bookcase now.
Relevant Comments:
To a downvoted commenter:
your continued support of JK Rowling through fandom will likely be an issue for other LGBT people in your life
The only other LGBT person in my life sent me bertie botts every flavor beans in my christmas package this past year...
Commenter: This poor girl is terrified of being kicked out from another set of abusive parents and is forcing herself to buy merchandise to support someone who wants her dead to make her stepparent happy. This update is horrifying, for real.
OOP: Hope you stretched before this reach.
SD was not kicked out of her mom's home. That was a choice she made. She is in no danger of being kicked out of our home either.

2024.05.19 05:51 whatthefruits Need help on assessing essay - test is tomorrow and I wanted to see how I would fare

Hi all,
My GRE Test is tomorrow, and while I believe I'm pretty ready with regards to verbal and quant, I don't know how I currently fare with my essays, and wanted to see what someone more experienced with the GRE would rate my essay. Attached below is the prompt, and the essay.
Greatly appreciate the help!
Conditions: Timed. Completed in 29m27s.
Time distribution:
Planning - 5min
Intro - 6min
Body - 4min each
Conclusion - 3.5min
Check - 3min
Prompt:
To understand the most important characteristics of a society, one must study its major cities. Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position.
Essay:
While we may often state that society is filled with varying cultures and idiosyncrasies, as the number of people we account for increases, these idiosyncrasies get lost in the hubbub of major cities as statistical noise, in favor for a set of united defining traits. It is hence apt to state that the most important characteristics of a society – the fundamental pith of what makes a society unique from other such groups - would be concentrated in major cities. To that end, I believe it is important to study major cities of a society to understand its most important characteristics, especially with their impacts in the fields of cultural shifts, technological development, and economics and manufacturing.
It can be said that major cities are in essence a hodge podge of the cultures of not only those native to such major cities, but also of outlying towns – migratory flows, for a pithier term. As such, it is important to take note of such migratory flows and how these affect the characteristics of a society – especially in the socio-psychological aspect of human interaction. The city of Madison, Wisconsin, for example, often accentuates the rather special mix of modern liberal values with conservative hospitality, and this is conferred to the metropolitan, major city of Chicago. In this respect, the effects of the city of Madison has had a pronounced effect on the characteristics of its surrounding cities, which in turn leads to ripple effects to society as more people migrate from such outlying cities onto more metropolitan areas.
However, we can certainly say that these effects can also be seen in the major cities as well. In fact, the concentration of cultural flows and the incidence of cultural Zeitgeists in major cities are often much more frequent, rapid, and integral to understanding society as a whole. Significant changes in lifestyle in major cities such as Seoul and Tokyo have strong ripple effects to the cultural mindset of young people even in cities outside of Tokyo and Seoul, and are hence significantly more reflective of society as a whole. For a more specific example, dating culture in Tokyo has recently worsened, with increasing ubiquity of egregious cases of compensated dating, and this has had ripple effects on young people dating less in say, Kanagawa Prefecture. In Seoul, an increased focus for feminism has resulted in a greater career thrust in young women throughout Korea. Changes we see in major cities often permeate into outlying cities, and are hence reflective of a society.
Additionally, advancements in science and technology are often developed in major cities, especially with the availability of infrastructure, the pool of talented people migrating to such major cities, and the general culture for science and technology. A local example of this would be California – the posthumous Silicon Valley – and Hsinchu, Taiwan – a semiconductor fabrication hub. These major cities pool talent and infrastructure, allowing for major developments in science and technology ranging from Lithium-ion battery and its applications in advanced consumer goods such as electric cars, to developments in Artificial Intelligence technology, to even the coveted membrane technology used for environmentally friendly separations and hyper-selective energy-conservative manufacturing. As major cities are often major science and technology hubs which significantly drive progress in society, it would be remiss to ignore the forest for the trees, and it would hence be important to redouble our efforts into better study major cities.
Finally, it is also important to recognize that major cities are often economic and manufacturing hubs. Cities like New York and New Jersey – with its long history of a robust financial district and historic manufacturing hubs alike – are often the backbone by which most of America runs. The stock market is an inextricable part of daily life in America – with the rapid corporatization of America, the stock market presents an opportunity for not only social mobility, but also business ventures one would normally not expect. New Jersey – as a major manufacturing hub – has many integral industries that it supports, ranging from the medical devices industry, to semiconductor metrology, and to even large volume manufacturing of general goods such as toilet paper, bamboo chopsticks, and metal and wood polishing. Noting the importance of such hubs and the societal implications of the fluctuations that affect such hubs, it would, once again, be putting the cart before the horse to focus on outlying cities with less of an impact on society as a whole.
In conclusion, while I understand that it is important to also study flows from outlying cities to understand the characteristics of a society as a whole, it is much more prudent to extract this information in its concentrated form, by examining major cities instead with a fine-toothed comb. With that in mind, I believe it is extremely integral that we study a society’s major cities to better understand what a society stands for.

2024.05.19 05:45 astralpariah Video: Mad In America Town Hall - Supporting Extreme States, Dissociation & Experiences Labeled as Psychosis

MIA Town Hall - Supporting Extreme States, Dissociation & Experiences Labeled as Psychosis
Mad in America presents Part II of a special panel discussion on understanding and supporting those experiencing extreme states, dissociation, and experiences labeled as psychosis. We’ll take a deeper dive into how engaging and validating these states can serve as a supportive tool for healing. We’ll provide concrete examples of possible approaches and demonstrate that recovery, even in people labeled as “incurable,” is possible in various forms. Our expert panel includes survivors, family members, and therapists. Extensive resources will be shared, and the discussion will conclude with an open audience Q&A.
About the Guest Speakers
Cindy Marty Hadge is a person who experienced physical, emotional, sexual, and medical trauma as a child. She experienced voices, vision, and thoughts of ending her life growing up as well. As a young adult she turned to alcohol and street drugs in an effort to make life livable. Over time she entered the mental health system, where the street drugs were replaced with prescribed drugs and the result was frequently the same – walking or stumbling through life in a mind-numbing state while continuing to experience voices, visions, and thoughts of ending her life.
Knowing that peer support in the form of 12 Step programs had been helpful while struggling with substance use, she sought out peer support for her emotional distress and experience of extreme states. Cindy discovered that she lived within walking distance of one of the Wildflower Alliance spaces, where one of the very few Hearing Voices Network groups in the US was held. Within this community she found healing and hope. By attending HVN groups she discovered that there were things she could do beyond taking medication to navigate her experience.
Cindy has found the meaning, purpose, and connection that she longed for and has made a way of making sense of the senseless. She is transforming her tragedies into treasures by being healed when creating space for others to heal. Cindy has been recognized by Inter-Voice, the international organization of HVN, for her work as an educator. Cindy is gender non-conforming and has presented both as Cindy and Marty. Cindy is a keynote speaker and a national trainer.
Olga Runciman is the only psychologist in private practice in Denmark to specialize in extreme states (psychosis). She is an international trainer and speaker, writer, campaigner, and artist. She is a co-founder of the Danish Hearing Voices Network and the International Institute for Psychiatric Drug Withdrawal. She is a board member for a variety of organizations including Intervoice, Mad in America, The Danish Psychosocial Rehabilitation organization, and others. She has taken the three-year Finnish Open Dialogue education in London and works today as a dialogical family therapist and trainer.
For many years prior to her current career, Olga worked as a nurse in neurology and psychiatry. She also knows psychiatry from the inside, having been a patient herself. She was told she was an incurable case. Today she is in the unique position of creating a bridge between patient and professional.
Sam Ruck earned his B.A. in a Christian ministry-related field but set that dream aside when his wife began to display symptoms related to her childhood trauma early in their 35-year marriage. Together, for the past 16 years, they have learned to navigate extreme states and extreme dissociative issues, while embracing her seven “alter” identities in their relationship and family. Sam learned to become the companion his wife needed on their mutual healing journey, using strategies drawn from attachment theories and other pragmatic approaches.
Today, Sam and his wife struggle together, like many others, amidst the upheaval of culture wars and post his cancer diagnosis in 2023. They are still dealing with the remnants of her trauma and dissociation. Though his wife chooses to remain anonymous, she supports Sam sharing their learnings with significant others, family members, and anyone who is interested in a better way to engage someone experiencing mental distress. Please note that for privacy, Sam Ruck is using a pen name.
Sam blogged about their journey for a number of years later, summarizing the experience in a short book offered for free here. Excerpts have been published on MIA.

2024.05.19 05:28 Icy_Conversation9925 How do I find roommates in Downtown Dallas

Hi all,
I'm moving to Dallas for graduate school in the medical district and am having trouble finding roommates/affordable apartments on a graduate stipend. Ideal areas would be oak lawn, love field or cedar springs. Tried to find roommates but facebook groups are filled with spams/inactivity. 1 bedrooms or Studio apartments are way too expensive on my current stipend. Asking as a Boston Transplant (tough to find affordable apartments in boston but not difficult as a college town as compared to Dallas) :D
TLDR: How do I find roommates in Dallas?

2024.05.19 05:21 KoburaCape Concern about diet because of many overlapping GI issues

I got help from a vet as well as someone else in the medical field writing this, so that's why it sounds intelligent. I've been a chronic patient for 20 years so I'm knowledgeable but not as concise as they are:
The patient is a 35yo Male Caucasian with UC status post colectomy in his 20s with J-pouch renastomosis complicated by a minor, chronic stricture where his J-pouch joins the rectum. High fiber intake has previously caused obstructions requiring medical mgmt (self resolved with irrigation on following occasions).
FHx of Familial Ulcerative Colitis (patient note - technically incorrect though likely, my grandfather was very secretive about his colostomy and all surrounding circumstances before and after, so it's presumable but not confirmed)
He had a lumbar to sacral fusion surgery at the end of February. He's been cleared for regular activity. There was a surgical site infection; so there was a second surgery three weeks after the first status post cefazolin x4 weeks.
He's been having pain off and on since December. Slowly getting more frequent to now 3-4 occasions per week (patient note, usually at night but has not always followed eating more recently. Used to be reliably 3ish hours after eating but now can be as long after as 6hours). Gallstones diagnosed with ultrasound right before back surgery so he declined gallbladder removal at that time. He has an appointment to see someone about treatment on 5/30 but in the meantime has had pervasive postprandial pain usually rated 5-8/10.
As for diet, milk was initially tolerated but then intolerable with high volume intake. Noodles are tolerable but cause constipation. Ground beef and smoked salmon have both caused pain. Lean sirloins are tolerable at very low volume. Clearly, anything fibrous is not tolerated including many vegetables.
How should we alter his diet to reduce pain and risk of obstrxn?

2024.05.19 05:09 Gullible_Prune_2117 Am I being unreasonable? Career change or stick it out? Suggestions?

Hi Reddit,
I'm 31 and currently working as a medical lab scientist in a MCOL area. I have BS degrees in Medical Lab Science & Biology. I have 10 years of experience and worked my way through college up from the lowest position in the lab (lab assistant) all the way to management. I worked in management for a couple years before realizing I hated it and went back to a more junior position. I'm currently working minimal hours (anywhere between 24-36, usually 24) and averaging about 50k-55k per year. I have no direct reports anymore, never have to take work home, and am permitted to make my own schedule. I am also able to go back full-time at any point. These are the biggest pros.
For the cons, I do not do well with monotonous, repetitive work, and that is basically all my job consists of. I feel as if I have been doing the same exact thing for 10 years. I burned out at some point during covid working 50-60 hour weeks which is why I went part-time and left management. It's been a year of me doing part-time, and I have yet to recover the tolerance level I once had for this field. I fear it will not come back, as I have never liked what I do in the first place, but could at least deal with it. I don't have to love my job, but I also don't want to dread going to work for the next 30 years. I only chose this field because I didn't know what I wanted to do and I was good at science classes.
I am planning to go back full-time, but I don't want to go back to what I was doing before. I make about 85-90k when full-time (non-management), and am fine with making anything from 60k and up. Money isn't a factor when choosing a career path. I'm good at public speaking, very extroverted, do not mind long hours, and would strongly prefer more human interaction than I'm currently getting at work. I would also like a job where I can do something different everyday. I don't mind going back to school or doing additional training. I have the GI Bill so cost of training or schooling is another thing that doesn't matter to me. I also have a diagnosed mental illness that I take medication for, and can't do any careers where that would be a problem.
My questions are, am I crazy to leave my current situation? Am I just being a negative Nancy? Should I suck it up and stay in my field? Any suggestions for what I can do next? I'm strongly interested in both law and dental hygiene, but absolutely open to all suggestions.

2024.05.19 05:08 Junior_Grocery_8099 Chances of getting accepted

So here is some information about me.
I went to a semester of medical school and hated it but still pushed through my first semester. I had to remediate an exam because I didnt pass above the threshold for that module. Came back home and had to take a MLOA. But Ive always wanted to pursue dentistry. So i decided that now is the my opportunity. So I took the DAT got a AA19 TS19 (21 bio, 19 chem &orgo, 20 RC, 16 PAT, 15 QR)
Now to explain my low scores, QR section my computer lagged and they are telling me that there nothing they can do to fix that so I lost out on a ton of time and couldn't properly get through the subsection. PAT im going to be honest I suck at it, so I knew I was going to do bad either a 16 or a 17.
I have >200 hours of shadowing and volunteering hours. Thousands of hours in the medical field. Ive also started a small business...etc. I have a lot of EC I can basically show off, but my main concern is my DAT score coming in my way of acceptance. I also have a 3.55 GPA and a 3.6 Science GPA. Also have research experience as well.
Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
