2024.06.02 09:03 cryptodoiiii Does early payoff of used model3 tesla financing require paying off all interests in the loan lifetime too?

Hello, I am about to pull the trigger on a used model 3 from Tesla's inventory. I want to finance it from Tesla. Does paying off the financing early also require me to pay all interests that would have been paid over the lifetime of the loan? For example, if I finance 35k at 8% for 72 months but pay it off on the 11th month, do I owe the interest payments that would have been paid on months 12-72? Note that I have not gotten an offer from Tesla financing yet.

2024.06.02 08:00 WildBlackbird [Hobby/RevShare] Programmers Wanted for Multiplayer Arena Action Game

Greetings! I'm a general modeleanimator, with experience in the industry and with developing an indie game or two myself; what I'm seeking are game programmers who are looking to sharpen their skills and/or provide to a fun multiplayer-focused experience. I currently have an IP that I wish to potentially make into a game.
This is intended to be an objective-focused game involving both melee and shooting combat, with a core focus on melee, as opposed to the common inverse. If you've ever heard of:
GunZ: The Duel
S4 League
Anarchy Reigns
Splatoon
or other such games, you've got a general idea of what we're going for here. The idea is smooth and fast combat with heavy impact. The issue is thus; while we have a programmer, they will have limited availability for some time. We need a lead programmer capable of forwards facing gameplay elements, examples of which are here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfeY6H-hSOQ and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbLhOBLbwGs, and more besides. Ideally, we'll be using this prior work as a base in Unity, but we will need further work done, so experience in inventories, item/altered states, and several other aspects along with movement are necessary. Networking experience is a plus.
character models and animation, as well as environmental modeling is currently underway and are available to see on request. As this is intended to be simply a POC, the idea is to get the core combat gameplay locked down and basic multiplayer set and ready.
After the POC is done, we can discuss whether we worked well together, if the POC came out well, and if we want to continue on this path. Should we, then from there we can discuss payment plans and whatnot.
If you are interested or otherwise have any questions about the project or resources available, please, reach me either via PM here, or DM on Discord at PFlare#8230. I'd love to see your portfolio. Thank you for your time!

2024.06.02 05:36 MrAppletree1742 Leading Economic Indicators

I decided to put together all economic indicators and plan to analyze them on a weekly basis. Does anyone in this group analyze data or just view what others just simply post to guide the market. Sources I am considering on using: St. Louis fed bank housing inventory state by state (Cause every market is different example Massachusetts vs Texas
Listed below are indicators that can signal a incoming recession:
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Contraction: A consistent decline in GDP over two consecutive quarters is a traditional indicator of a recession.
Rising Unemployment Rates: An increase in unemployment rates suggests that businesses are laying off workers, which is often a response to declining demand.
Decline in Consumer Spending: Reduced consumer spending can indicate that households are saving more and spending less due to economic uncertainty.
Decreased Industrial Production: A fall in industrial production signals that businesses are cutting back on manufacturing due to lower demand.
Inverted Yield Curve: When short-term interest rates are higher than long-term rates, it often predicts a recession. This inversion reflects investors' expectations of declining economic growth.
Falling Stock Market: A significant decline in stock market indices can indicate investor pessimism about the economic outlook.
Reduced Business Investment: A drop in business investments suggests that companies are expecting lower future profits.
Decline in Retail Sales: Lower retail sales figures can be an early sign of reduced consumer confidence and spending.
Decrease in Housing Market Activity: A decline in housing starts, home sales, and construction activity can indicate economic slowdown as the housing market is sensitive to interest rates and consumer confidence.
Increase in Corporate Bankruptcies: A rise in corporate bankruptcies can indicate that companies are struggling to maintain profitability in a slowing economy.
Consumer Confidence Index: A significant drop in consumer confidence can signal that households are worried about their financial situation and the overall economy.
Manufacturing and Services PMIs (Purchasing Managers' Index): A PMI below 50 indicates contraction in the manufacturing or services sector, signaling economic slowdown.

2024.06.02 04:41 SuperSwitch064 Rebalancing Paper Mario Badge System for Hypothetical Future Games (Slight Spoilers for Badges Appearing in First Two Games)

Total Badges: There are 100 badges in Paper Mario Next, consisting of the original 85 from TTYD, 5 returning from PM64 (Dizzy Attack, Dizzy Stomp, Dodge Master, Power Quake, and Speedy Spin) and 10 brand new badges.
In this post, 39 badges have been rebalanced, with 13 being buffed to cost less BP and 26 being nerfed to cost more BP. If a badge isn’t specified in either category, their BP cost hasn’t been changed from their TTYD incarnation, or 64 incarnation in the case of Dizzy Attack, Dizzy Stomp, and Power Quake. These changes will mainly focus on changing up the badge system to allow for more diverse playstyles because, as it stands, Power boosting badges are almost always the way to go over defensive or status inflicting badges. In some cases, I might also specify if a badge would be available earlier or later than it typically was in the first two games to make this hypothetical game have a similar feel to Metroid Dread, where some items you typically get near the beginning in other Metroid games are obtained a bit later, which provided for a different experience and feel to the game compared to previous 2D Metroid games, and I would like the next Paper Mario game to give off that similar feel, if they end were to end up going with the classic formula again.
There have also been two significant alterations to the battle mechanics from TTYD. First, the card slots that could fully recover HP, FP, and SP are now locked behind the new badge Lucky Lottery, allowing for players to choose whether or not they want this helpful component of luck in their battles. The other major change is that now, a Game Over will only occur when both Mario and his active partner have been KO’d in battle, however now Life Shrooms must be consumed manually, allowing for an opening for the enemy to attack after one has been used up. Classic Life Shroom revival mechanics can be restored with the new Life Saver and Life Saver P badges, however this ability will only activate once per battle.
That's about it for major mechanical changes, so let's get into the rebalancing part of the post:
Edit: I forgot to mention this in the initial post, but the max level in this hypothetical game would be 50, with HP and FP both maxing out at 50 like in 64, but BP maxing out at 99 like in TTYD.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
~Buffed (Cost Less BP)~
Bump Attack (5 BP-0 BP): Since First Attack was reduced to 0 BP in the TTYD remake, it only makes sense to have Bump Attack reduced as well for quality of life. Just make Bump Attack available later than First Attack and it should work out fine.
Feeling Fine (4 BP-3 BP): Since this badge is universally useful, regardless of the player’s build, it makes sense to slightly reduce its cost to only a single level-up’s worth of BP rather than partway into a second like it currently works.
Feeling Fine P (4 BP-3 BP): Same logic as Feeling Fine.
HP Plus P (6 BP-4 BP): I get that the whole point of having it cost so much BP is to incentivize the player to power up their partners by upgrading them with Merlon, and because it effects multiple party members instead of just Mario, but a better solution would be to only have one or two available in the entire game, and have them show up in Chapter 5 or later, because as it stands this badge’s usability is niche at best and borderline pointless at worst costing 6 BP.
Money Money (5 BP-4 BP): As it currently stands, Money Money is a pretty useless badge, because you get it in the latter half of the game and by then there are better ways of making money like in the Pit of 100 Trials or selling useless badges like this one for a high profit. Swap its place as a minigame area reward with Item Hog’s place as a star piece reward to make it available much earlier in the game and slightly reduce its BP cost to make it viable earlier as well.
P-Down, D-Up (2 BP-1 BP): As it stands in both classic Paper Mario games, offensive strategies are way more viable than defensive strategies, so lowering the cost of a lot of defense oriented badges and boosting the cost of offense oriented badges will be a common pattern in this post. P-Down, D-Up is particularly useless, since Damage Dodge is found around relatively the same time in the game, costs the exact same amount of BP, and doesn’t have the drawback of reducing attack by 1. Making this badge available earlier and reducing its cost by 1 allows for it to thrive as a defensive strategy for beginner players that will allow for slightly longer, but easier fights in the early game, and could be a helpful tool for guard and superguard training.
P-Down, D-Up P (2 BP-1 BP): Same logic as P-Down, D-Up.
Pity Flower (3 BP-1 BP): Beyond filling the niche of having multiple chances of restoring FP by one if you expect the enemy to hit Mario more than once, this badge is generally worse than Happy Flower due to it typically being obtained later and costing one extra BP, so making it cost 1 BP less than Happy Flower and making it available earlier would make it a bit more viable for the early game.
Quake Hammer (2 BP-1 BP): Since Power Quake is returning from PM64 and costs 2 BP, Quake Hammer’s cost will be reduced back to 1 like it was in the first game to introduce a system of progression to hit-all moves for Mario.
Quick Change (7 BP-6 BP): Like with the Feeling Fine badges, this is a universally useful badge that pretty much every build, barring challenge builds, will use, so reducing its cost to requiring two full level-ups’ worth of BP would be a middle ground between its cost of 4 in the first game and 7 in TTYD.
Return Postage (7 BP-4 BP): In TTYD, Return Postage is a badge that has the unfortunate position of being the reward for completing the Pit of 100 Trials, which may or may not be the final challenge that players will face in the game, meaning it likely won’t get much usage from the player, if at all, and even if they manage to get it say, halfway through the game offense oriented strategies just straight up outclass this badge, making its usability incredibly niche. Make it available as a star piece badge reward and couple it with some defense oriented badges and this badge could end up being pretty useful through the mid-game or later.
Speedy Spin (1 BP-0 BP): Since this is purely a quality of life badge like First Attack or Bump Attack, it too will be getting reduced to a cost of 0.
Spike Shield (3 BP-2 BP): The cost of both Spike Shield and Ice Power in TTYD is pretty confusing. All Spike Shield does is allow for Mario to jump on spiked enemies and it costs 3 BP, yet Ice Power allows Mario to jump on fire enemies while ALSO making him deal one extra damage to them AND taking one less damage from fire-based attacks, and it only costs 1 BP. I feel that since Spike Shield is a badge that will be equipped and de-equipped based on where the player is in the game depending on what enemies they will be facing, that its BP cost should be reduced by one for the player’s convenience. Buffing Spike Shield in this way, but nerfing power boosting badges and a few jump move badges should make this change pretty balanced.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
~Nerfed (Cost More BP)~
All Or Nothing (4 BP-6 BP): This is the first of many offense boosting badges that will be nerfed, now costing as much as Power Plus did in the base game. The risk-reward concept behind this badge means it won’t be as useful to players as Power Plus unless they can execute action commands perfectly, meaning it shouldn’t cost quite as much as Power Plus, but 4 BP is a little too cheap for this badge, even though it’s usually obtained in the latter half of the game, so increasing its cost by 2 makes sense from a balancing perspective.
Charge (1 BP-4 BP): Even though this move can be used infinitely unlike All Or Nothing and doesn’t have the drawback of failing if you don’t perform the action command perfectly, you still need to use up a turn to charge your attack, leaving yourself vulnerable to enemy attacks, and there were certain bosses in PM64 that could remove your charge with certain attacks, so if that mechanic were to return a cost of 4 BP feels most fitting here.
Charge P (1 BP-4 BP): Same logic as Charge.
Damage Dodge (2 BP-4 BP): Although certain defense-oriented strategies were buffed here, Damage Dodge is just too overpowered as it stands in its TTYD incarnation. Costing nearly a third of Defend Plus and having practically the same effect if you can master the regular guard attack, which isn’t that hard to do, and would be made even easier with Dodge Master returning, so buffing its BP cost to 4 for balancing makes sense.
Damage Dodge P (2 BP-4 BP): Same logic as Damage Dodge.
Dodge Master (2 BP-6 BP): While an increase of 4 BP might seem pretty steep for this badge considering the Damage Dodge badges have already been nerfed, the existence of the superguard makes the inclusion of this badge a bit of a toss-up. If it doesn’t effect the superguard, it could easily return with a cost of 3 or so BP, but assuming it would make the superguard easier to execute, I’ll play it safe and increase its cost up to 6 BP.
Double Dip (3 BP-6 BP): Like with Dodge Master before, an increase of 3 might seem steep, but considering how overpowered items can be and the fact that it only costs 6 BP to get Triple Dip and use up to 3 items per turn, and 12 BP combined with your partner to use 6 items per turn, increasing its cost by 3 would double all the values, needing 12 to get Triple Dip and a whopping 24 to use 6 items per combined turn. This would now cost about a quarter of the total available BP in the game, making it still technically a viable strategy for players who are willing to go the extra mile and use it, but will turn most players away from this strategy in favour of other ones.
Double Dip P (3 BP-6 BP): Same logic as Double Dip.
FP Plus (3 BP-4 BP): In the classic games, especially in the case of TTYD with the ability to get up to 99 BP and with more badges available, the fact that FP and HP Plus cost 1 level-up’s worth of BP can discourage players from levelling up their HP or FP and encourage them to just equip an HP or FP Plus badge as needed. While they aren’t inherently overpowered, boosting both of their costs up by 1 would encourage players to level up HP and FP from time to time unless they’d be willing to dip into a second level-up’s worth of BP, which would bring a bit more strategy to levelling up and make the decision to equip these badges a bit more strategic.
Hammerman (2 BP-4 BP): Hammerman and Jumpman are both pretty powerful badges in TTYD due to their low cost and being an effective Power Plus for their respective move type. However, Jumpman heavily outclasses Hammerman, since the jump hits twice per turn while the hammer only hits once, meaning that with enough boosts the jump will straight up outclass the hammer late in the game. As such, Hammerman’s cost has been boosted up to 4, making it cheaper than the P-Up, D-Down Badges, Jumpman, and Power Plus badges’ new costs to encourage its use over those badges.
HP Plus (3 BP-4 BP): Same logic as FP Plus.
Ice Power (1 BP-3 BP): Most of the logic was already explained in Spike Shield above. Since this badge has three beneficial effects, but is still pretty situational since there are typically far fewer fire-based enemies than there are spiky enemies, it gets to keep all of its base effects but will have its BP cost raised to 3.
Jumpman (2 BP-6 BP): Most of the logic was already explained in Hammerman’s section. It now costs more than Hammerman and the P-Up, D-Down badges, but less than Power Plus since it locks you into the jump and may require the use of Spike Shield or Ice Power in some cases to take full advantage of its power.
Mega Rush (1 BP-6 BP): Next on the laundry list of power-boosting badges is Mega Rush. Even though it’s incredibly situational, if you’re willing to repeatedly jump into water or damage yourself in other ways to get your HP down to 1 and keep it there for a while, you effectively have the power of 5 Power Plus badges for a sixth of the cost, which is way too powerful since they can also be stacked. Boosting their BP cost to be equal to Jumpman, but less than the Power Plus badges makes sense due to them both being similarly limited, but very effective strategies if used properly.
Mega Rush P (1 BP-6 BP): Same logic as Mega Rush.
Multibounce (1 BP-3 BP): With the introduction of Power Quake and jump attacks generally being more effective than the hammer, now there’s a steady progression for hit-all moves. You start off with Quake Hammer in the early-game, which can hit all ground-based enemies and be boosted with power-boosting badges, but doesn’t get stronger with the Super and Ultra Hammer. Then around the mid-game you get Power Quake, which costs one more BP but does more damage than Quake Hammer tantamount to what it would’ve been if it had been boosted along with the Super Hammer. Finally, in the latter half of the game you’d finally get Multibounce, which costs 1 BP more than Power Quake but does get boosted with the Boot upgrades and can be used on any enemy with the use of Spike Shield and Ice Power. Its FP cost has also been increased to 6 to serve as a progression from the 2 FP cost of Quake Hammer and 4 FP cost of Power Quake due to its enhanced utility as a move.
P-Up, D-Down (2 BP-5 BP): My mindset with this badge is similar to previous badges like Jumpman and Mega Rush. Since there is a significant drawback of taking more damage per turn it makes sense for it to cost less than Jump Man and Mega Rush, but its current cost of 2 BP makes it way too overpowered, even when taking into account you get it later in the game than Power Plus. Putting its cost at 5 feels like a safe bet, making it cost more than Power Rush but less than Mega Rush and Jumpman.
P-Up, D-Down P (2 BP-5 BP): Same logic as P-Up, D-Down.
Power Bounce (3 BP-9 BP): This is a pretty steep increase, but it should require minimal explanation. Considering you can jump on an enemy 100 times doing well over 100 damage if you have the right badge set-up, this badge should be tied for the most expensive in the game, but I’ve also decided to further nerf it in two ways. Now, it will cost 9 FP, making it the most expensive Mario move FP-wise in the game and requiring some FP saving badges to be used in a BP only run. It will also only calculate the total damage done after all jumps have been performed, meaning unless you get 100 perfect jumps every time, it’ll render All or Nothing completely worthless combined with this badge. It should also only typically be available later in the game, but be obtainable early enough in the game so that if players are willing to go out of their way to get it they’ll be rewarded with the most powerful badge in the game, making it the perfect reward for beating the Pit of 100 Trials. With all of these nerfs, there is a slight upside, as a weaker version of this badge called the Froggy Bounce has been introduced, and will be detailed at the end of the post.
Power Plus (6 BP-8 BP): It would be a little redundant to explain everything in full detail here. Considering you get a flat 1 increase to your attack without any drawbacks, it makes sense to increase this badge’s cost from 6 to 8, making it tied for the second most-expensive badge in the game.
Power Plus P (6 BP-8 BP): Same logic as Power Plus.
Power Rush (1 BP-4 BP): Being a less powerful version of Mega Rush, it makes sense for Power Rush to cost less than it. Due to it also being more risky than a P-Up, D-Down badge, it makes sense for its cost to be 4 BP, even though it gives an extra attack point than that badge. This way, it’s still cheap enough for players who are willing to exploit the Danger Mario strategy to go for it, but most players will only be willing to equip one or two of these badges due to its increased BP cost.
Power Rush P (1 BP-4 BP): Same logic as Power Rush.
Shrink Stomp (1 BP-2 BP): In my vision of Paper Mario 7, there would be a special move that decreases the enemy’s attack and defense as a sort of inverse of Power Lift, but their attack and defense wouldn’t be able to be de-buffed below 1 and 0 respectively. That already nerfs Shrink Stomp pretty heavily, but due to it being a jumping attack and still being pretty versatile, I’ve decided to increase its cost to 2 BP anyway to encourage the use of hammer attacks over jumping attacks.
Sleepy Stomp (1 BP-2 BP): Similar logic to Shrink Stomp. Since it inflicts a pretty strong status effect while also being a jumping move, its cost will be increased to 2 to further encourage the use of the hammer.
Soft Stomp (1 BP-2 BP): Same logic as Shrink Stomp.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
~New Badges~
Retro Roots (0 BP): Changes the appearance of Mario and his allies to an 8-bit rendition of themselves both in the overworld and in battle. Prevents Mario and his allies from performing guards and superguards, and removes the action command from all attacks to provide a more traditional turn-based RPG experience. Unlocked after collecting all the other 99 badges in the game.
Plumber Smash (1 BP): Mario drains back the amount of damage he does to a single enemy with this hammer attack for 3 FP.
Polter Bust (2 BP): Allows Mario to attack invisible enemies, rendering them visible afterwards.
Froggy Bounce (3 BP): Allows Mario to jump on an enemy up to 5 consecutive times for 3 FP. Like with Power Bounce, damage is only calculated after all jumps have been performed, rendering All or Nothing useless if you can’t perform the 5 consecutive jumps perfectly.
Wonder Saver (4 BP): Reduces the cost of Mario’s Wonder Power (WP) moves by half, but makes them half as effective.
Life Saver (5 BP): Allows Mario to automatically use a Life Shroom after being knocked out with 10 HP once per battle, provided there is one in the inventory.
Life Saver P (6 BP): Allows a partner to automatically use a Life Shroom after being knocked out with 10 HP once per battle, provided there is one in the inventory.
Lucky Lottery (7 BP): Enables the slot card system from TTYD to return, allowing players to roll a set of 3 mushrooms to fully restore HP, flowers to fully restore FP, wonder seeds to fully restore WP, wonder flowers to fully restore HP, FP, and WP, or coins to get 100 coins.
Flower Power (8 BP): Reduces all of Mario’s attacks FP cost by half, rounding up.
Flower Power P (9 BP): Reduces all Partners’ attacks FP cost by half, rounding up.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
And that concludes my post on the changes I would make to the badge system in a hypothetical classic-style Paper Mario game. I'd be interested in hearing all your thoughts in the comments!

2024.06.02 04:05 DontBendYourVita Kids mtb. Keep me on the rails please

My kids finally learned to ride a bike (6.5yo 5yo). They had absolutely zero interest then they saw a neighborhood friend riding and boom. That day they learned. Anyway…
We have a local scholastic mtb club that starts at Kindergarten and I want to get my kids into that, so I’m trying to thread the needle between being cheap because I know they’ll grow out of it in a couple years and having something that can actually go on trails and isn’t 30 lbs. I was looking at the specialized Riprock and trek wahoo and still pretty heavy. $600-700 seems like a lot for a 20 inch kids bike. And she literally just learned how to ride so it’s not like she can go on the trails tomorrow. She needs more time to master cement riding.
The fb marketplace has some bikes but have grip shifters which seem like they’d be harder to use than thumb shifting for a kid.
Idk…just looking for reasonable advice on what to buy my 6.5 year old in the 20inch mtb space

2024.06.02 01:58 abdehakim2222 Are successful entrepreneurs born or made?

This is a debate that's been around forever. Some folks say entrepreneurs are born with special traits that make them successful, like being open-minded, driven, competitive, and seeing the big picture. But what about the skills we learn over time, like creativity, bravery, confidence, handling pressure, and becoming an expert in a field?
Those are pretty important too! If we want to raise a generation of young hustlers, we shouldn't just focus on what they're born with. We should teach them how to be entrepreneurs, and the best way to learn is by doing.
Here's what one parent did with their kid:
A few years ago, at age five, my daughter started receiving a small allowance to keep her room clean. The money meant nothing to her at first—until she realized she could use the money to buy Barbie dolls. Now I had her interest.
I explained to her that she could make even more money by starting her own business, whether it be a lemonade stand, making crafts, or some other idea.
Hannah’s Summer Treats was born.
Hannah decided she wanted to sell treats from our driveway. To keep her excited about the idea, we went online and had a logo designed on Fiverr for less than $25. Next, we ordered a t-shirt, banner, and a yard sign for another $65 from Vistaprint.
Hannah was in business.
All she needed now was her supplies. She wanted to offer more than just lemonade, so we picked up cans of lemonade concentrate, a box of ice cream bars, and several packs of Mr. Freeze ice pops. We chose a Saturday for her grand opening, created an event on Facebook, and invited friends and family.
When the day came to launch her business, we set up a table at the end of our driveway complete with an umbrella from our back deck. She had a cooler stocked with supplies and ice, a cash box, and a large drink dispenser for the lemonade.
That day, I learned that my daughter was a natural promoter. She ran up and down the sidewalk waving her sign and yelling to every car, jogger, and bicycle that passed. Some even stopped. When a customer approached, Hannah got shy and hid behind us. But each time, she got a little braver.
She also learned a few things real fast. First, ice cream sandwiches don’t stay frozen in the cooler, so we had to move them back to the kitchen freezer for storage. It became a bit of a hassle. Lemonade and Mr. Freeze quickly became her best sellers, which simplified inventory going forward. She dropped the chocolate ice cream sandwiches, and kept a limited supply of vanilla available.
She operated Hannah’s Summer Treats several times that summer, and each time she seemed more confident. My wife showed her how to take the customer’s money and make change. She learned about revenues and expenses. At the end of each day, we counted the money together, and took out the cost of her supplies. Whatever was left over was her profit to keep. She was proud of herself and excited about growing her new business.

Start small: This kid started with an allowance they didn't really care about until they realized it could buy cool stuff. That's when the parent swooped in and explained how they could make even more money with their own business!
Make it real: Instead of just talking about it, they went online and designed a logo for the kid's business. They even got a t-shirt, banner, and yard sign to make it legit.
Learning by doing: The kid decided to sell treats from their driveway. They learned what sold well (lemonade!), what didn't (ice cream sandwiches melt!), and how to deal with customers (being shy is tough!).
Adapt and overcome: When COVID hit, lemonade stands were out. So the kid pivoted and started their own YouTube channel! This taught them a whole new set of skills,Start small: This kid started with an allowance they didn't really care about until they realized it could buy cool stuff.

Tips for raising mini-entrepreneurs

Money lessons 101: Help your kid understand how money works. Explain that you work to earn it, pay bills, and buy fun things. Then show them how they can earn their own by starting a little business.
Responsibility counts: Teach your kid responsibility with chores or babysitting. This shows them that hard work is rewarded and keeping promises is important.
Find their passion: Does your kid love writing stories? Making things? Encourage them to explore their interests! Their hobbies can be the perfect springboard for business ideas.
Business basics for tiny bosses: Running a business can be tough, so break it down for them. Help them brainstorm ideas, pick a name and logo, and figure out how much stuff they need to get started. Show them the difference between making money (revenue) and spending money (expenses).
Planning makes perfect: Entrepreneurs gotta solve problems and make decisions. Get your kid involved in planning their business venture. Maybe they can write a one-page business plan to figure out their target audience, competition, and how they'll promote their business.
Spot the opportunities: Entrepreneurs see opportunities everywhere! Help your child look for ways to make money, whether it's reselling stuff online, tutoring other kids, or shoveling driveways.
Giving back is cool: Being an entrepreneur isn't just about making money. It's about helping people! Encourage your kid to donate some of their profits to charity or a cause they care about.

The most important thing: Keep it fun!

Remember, they're still kids. Don't pressure them too much. If they get discouraged, listen to them. But also encourage them to keep learning and exploring their interests.
There are tons of resources out there to help you raise a mini-entrepreneur. The key is to get them excited about creating something and going out there to make it happen!

2024.06.02 01:43 Laz_Zack Laz's Job Overview Masterpost + Extra info on FFXII mechanics

A few months ago I did a little project where I wrote an in-depth Overview of each Job (and all their combos), it’s been a while and to make it easier for those that enjoyed my posts here is a link to each and every class guide I did:
Archer (Sagittarius)
Black Mage (Capricorn)
Bushi (Aquarius)
Foebreaker (Scorpio)
Knight (Leo)
Machinist (Gemini)
Monk (Virgo)
Red Battlemage (Cancer)
Shikari (Pisces)
Time Battlemage (Libra)
Uhlan (Taurus)
White Mage (Aries)
NOTE: Tomorrow I'll update this tomorrow to add some other things, going to post this now in case someone wants to suggest something. Stuff I'll update tomorrow includes: Esper recommendations, Notable elemental/status weapons, gear and accessories, and useful gambits.
As a little send-off (for now at least, as I want to revise those posts on a later date) to this project, I decided to add some extra general info that players may find useful in a way they can quickly see, it is a bit more concise and to the point compared to the main posts. I’ll also avoid stating some obvious things like how the Cure spell heals.
Some FFXII Original info will be included for the sake of comparison, and as a little bonus. Feel free to give recommendations in case I missed something! If it is your first time playing I don’t recommend seeing all sections as they can spoil some of the fun of finding some things out for yourself, you’ll be judge of what is fine spoiling or not though.

Character info

A reference to the raw base stats and starting licenses of each character, keep in mind that while some of theses stat gaps may seem big, you are looking at their attributes without any Magic/Battle Lores (stat increasing augments) and gear, and that they also only get bigger on later levels, even on Weak Mode/New Game Minus, Original (where Battle Lores/Magic Lores cap at +5) and IZJS (Single Job) classes, gear and augments defines your character and not their raw stats. Point is see these as suggestions/lore/reference/min-maxing things rather than something enforced, not even gonna mention animation speed.
Base Stats
HP and MP are random when a character joins the party, and when they level up, each party member has a different modifier and base value that dictates how much of each stat they get, to keep things simple I’ll simply note the range, it can vary for you due to RNG, however it isn’t worth stressing over it as HP nodes, gear and extra MP from Quickenings (in Original only) give you a ton of HP and MP (MP is pretty bad for everyone in Weak Mode/New Game Minus). Values were rebalanced between Original and Zodiac to account for the different progression systems and other balance changes.
NOTE: Reiterating character stats don’t matter, this is for comparison and for the sake of having a quick reference for those that care, do whatever you want.
I’ve used Balthier as mage and Penelo as a physical fighter plenty of times with no issue, same with using Fran on those roles. Even something like a single-job Knight and Time Battlemage can heal well with Basch and Balthier.
Vaan
Original:
LV 1: 82-84 HP, 25-27 MP, 23 STR, 20 MAG, 24 VIT, 24 SPD.
LV 99: 4,818-6,203 HP, 204-330 MP, 77 STR, 64 MAG, 61 VIT, 37 SPD.
Zodiac:
LV 1: 82-83 HP, 30-33 MP, 23 STR, 22 MAG, 24 VIT, 24 SPD.
LV 99: 4,786-5,643 HP, 473-786 MP, 78 STR, 73 MAG, 61 VIT, 37 SPD.
Summary: High stats all-around with a highest STR and great HP, also high MAG, tied with best STR with Basch. Great for any single-job/job combo, especially ones that focus on either physical, magic damage or use dual stats for their weapons (like Bushi), or hybrids that need the extra magic and MP for their spells (Knight, Uhlan, Monk, Time Battlemage or even Archer and Machinist). Steal and STR is also helpful for White Mage.
Penelo
Original:
LV 1: 65-66 HP, 36-37 MP, 20 STR, 18 MAG, 23 VIT, 24 SPD.
LV 99: 4,321-5,096 HP, 217-346 MP, 70 STR, 69 MAG, 60 VIT, 36 SPD.
Zodiac:
LV 1: 64-66 HP, 38-41 MP, 20 STR, 21 MAG, 23 VIT, 24 SPD.
LV 99: 4,288-5,058 HP, 539-895 MP, 70 STR, 76 MAG, 60 VIT, 36 SPD.
Summary: high MAG and MP, decent VIT, low STR and HP, tied with best MAG with Ashe on Original, and second best on Zodiac. Any mage class, especially ones that need extra MP (White Mage and Time Battlemage), Foebreaker (uses VIT weapons, also Black Mage and Machinist if you get Hand-Bombs) or high STR single-jobs/combos with Heavy Armor and magic (will max out STR anyway, and have more MP and magic for spells, Knight, Uhlan, Time Battlemage and Archer with Shemhazai fit that bill).
Balthier
Original:
LV 2: 99-103 HP, 20-22 MP, 25 STR, 17 MAG, 24 VIT, 24 SPD.
LV 99: 4,691-6,044 HP, 177-289 MP, 75 STR, 56 MAG, 58 VIT, 38 SPD.
Zodiac:
LV 2: 101-105 HP, 34-39 MP, 25 STR, 18 MAG, 24 VIT, 24 SPD.
LV 99: 4,661-5,495 HP, 453-752 MP, 75 STR, 63 MAG, 58 VIT, 38 SPD.
Summary: Second best STR and HP, best SPD, low MAG and MP. Any physical single-job/combo with an edge for SPD weapons (Shikari and Archer, especially with their lower innate STR), tanking (Foebreaker and again Shikari, Knight and Monk, though he lacks MAG to help them as much), also good for lower STR single-jobs/combos that need to do physical damage (White Mage, since it will max MAG anyway, and Steal is helpful for the job, Red Battlemage if you plan on nabbing Greatswords and Heavy Armor, Machinist and Black Mage if you get Hand-Bombs as STR is still priority even with his slightly lower VIT).
Fran
Original:
LV 2: 85-89 HP, 25-27 MP, 23 STR, 18 MAG, 20 VIT, 23 SPD.
LV 99: 4,486-5,879 HP, 205-333 MP, 71 STR, 59 MAG, 53 VIT, 36 SPD.
Zodiac:
LV 2: 84-89 HP, 44-50 MP, 23 STR, 20 MAG, 26 VIT, 24 SPD.
LV 99: 4,453-5,252 HP, 489-807 MP, 71 STR, 68 MAG, 62 VIT, 36 SPD.
Summary: Stats aren’t as high as Vaan’s or Ashes (the other Jack-of-all statsparty members), however, they are decent all around, some greatly exaggerate how bad her base stats are, even in Original before they got buffed they were perfectly fine, highlights are her decent HP and MP, and in Zodiac her VIT, her balanced stats also make her decent for any class. Good Tank with her HP (Foebreaker which also has VIT weapons, Knight, Shikari and Monk), MP is helpful for any mage, but, especially for those that can benefit from extra MP (White Mage and Time Battlemage, for the former Steal is also helpful), lastly similar to Vaan, Penelo and Ashe she works well for hybrids due to her MP and ok MAG (Knight, Uhlan, Time Battlemage, Monk, Red Battlemage, Machinist and even Archer).
Basch
Original:
LV 3: 138-145 HP, 19-22 MP, 26 STR, 21 MAG, 20 VIT, 23 SPD.
LV 99: 4,903-6,347 HP, 161-264 MP, 77 STR, 58 MAG, 47 VIT, 35 SPD.
Zodiac:
LV 3: 139-146 HP, 31-38 MP, 26 STR, 21 MAG, 26 VIT, 24 SPD.
LV 99: 4,841-5,703 HP, 410-684 MP, 78 STR, 63 MAG, 47 VIT, 35 SPD.
Summary: Highest HP, tied with Vaan for best STR, lowest VIT and slightly lower SPD (Speed has the least difference between characters though, outside of Balthier having a bit more), low MAG (slightly better than Balthier’s in Original, and in starting level) and MP. Any physical class outside of Foebreaker (needs VIT), also not as helpful for something like Knight that also benefits from MAG, like Balthier he is also good for high MAG, low STR mages that need to do physical damage as he will max out his MAG anyway and have more STR to do physical attacks (White Mage, and Red Battlemage with Greatswords+Heavy Armor)
Ashe
Original:
LV 3: 100-106 HP, 25-27 MP, 22 STR, 22 MAG, 24 VIT, 23 SPD.
LV 99: 4,452-5,827 HP, 216-349 MP, 73 STR, 69 MAG, 57 VIT, 36 SPD.
Zodiac:
LV 3: 99-106 HP, 56-65 MP, 22 STR, 25 MAG, 24 VIT, 23 SPD.
LV 99: 4,420-5,512 HP, 529-871 MP, 73 STR, 78 MAG, 57 VIT, 36 SPD.
Summary: Her stats are very similar to Vaan’s, however, she trades his STHP for MAG/MP, highest MAG (tied with Penelo on Original), slightly lower HP on Original, but great in Zodiac, third best STR. Everything I said about Vaan applies to her pretty much, with her having an edge magic while Vaan has on physical.
Initial Licenses
Pre-unlocked abilities that are going to be available independent of job assignment, not game-defining, but can lead to some fun synergies (Original included as bonus/comparison, not relevant to jobs and combos, a lot of balance and equipment changes between Original and Zodiac).
Worth noting that character levels and initial LP when they join the party are based on Vaan’s, so don’t be afraid of other party members lagging behind if you don’t proceed with the main story quickly, also characters that join later naturally have more initial licenses, that doesn’t give them a significant advantage over other characters outside of very particular challenge runs (like Original no Licence Board):

Notable Synergies:

Characters with Steal can unlock Poach without Zalera as Black Mages due to having Steal.
Characters with Steal are also appealing as tanks or healers, the former as a party leader (for consistency and also staying in front of the rest of the party) since with Steal they tend to be the first ones to engage enemies, pulling their aggro, the latter as it gives them something to do during downtime while traversing safe areas.
Fran can use her innate Black Magicks 1 well as a Bushi, White Mage and Red Battlemage, especially in IZJS where they are AoE spells, that is due to those Jobs innate magical abilities (high Magic Lores, all magic augments and Mystic Armor), this doesn’t apply to Time Battlemage as their Magic Lores and augments are spread far apart, and they lack Mystic Armor, by the time they get decent magic those spells will very likely have fallen off in damage and utility.
For the above, same logic applies for White Magicks 1 from the Women (it is also AoE in IZJS), even later in the game a high-powered Cure can be useful for early game curing, off-battle healing and topping off characters, for this reason Time Battlemage can also use the spell well despite lacking Mystic Armor due to it’s high magic stat and access to Serenity/Spellbreaker.

What each Stat does and what weapons it affects

Level = Pretty obvious what it does, but it also affects damage of most weapons and spells, so even if you cap a stat leveling up still increases your damage.
MP = Also obvious, but, getting Quickenings in Original increases your max MP, double for Lv2 Quickenings, triple for Lv3 ones.
EXP and LP = KO, Stone and X-Zone prevent gaining those stats, Guest also don’t level up in Original (though they also don’t waste items from your inventory there, you also can’t change their gambits).
Strength = Unarmed, Swords, Daggers, Axes & Hammers, Greatswords, Katanas, Ninja Swords, Spears, Poles (this one hits for Magick Defense instead of Physical, it still does physical damage though), Rods, Staves, Bows, Crossbows and Hand-Bombs, some of these arms also use a secondary stat, but, STR always have the bigger impact on their damage output (that doesn’t mean you can ignore the secondary stat though).
Magic = Magic Attacks, rate of hitting status effects, healing spells, as well as Maces, Katanas and Staves. The arms that use MAG deal physical damage, and simply use the stat for scaling.
Vitality = Duration of status effects (increases for positive ones, decreases for negative ones), used for Axes & Hammers, and Hand-Bombs.
Speed = Affects ATB/CT speed (not significantly though), used for Daggers, Ninja Swords and Bows.

Clearing up some things about Augments

Some augment descriptions don’t give all details about how certain augments work, so here are some clarifications. Note that the board Augments don’t stack with their accessory counterparts, so for example Focus doesn’t stack with Blazer Gloves.

Focus: 1.2x multiplier in Original, and 1.5x in Zodiac. Important thing is that since it isn’t a flat stat increase so it affects all normal attacks, this includes Guns.
Adrenaline: Same as the above, however it is a 2.0x multiplier that activates below or equal to 15% HP of your character, since it is percentage based, this means that it also counts for the extra HP from Bubble, which can lead to safer use of the Augment.
Serenity: In Original the increase is 20% for damage Spells and 50% for healing, in Zodiac both are 50%. It also doubles your chance of hitting status effects.
Spellbreaker: Offensive spell damage is doubled, but healing stays at 50% and status effect hit rate stays at double. The threshold is the same as Adrenaline.
Last Stand: It specifically halves physical damage, it doesn’t do anything to magic damage, the threshold is the same as Adrenaline and Serenity.
Martyr, Inquisitor and Warmage: MP received from dealing/receiving damage are based on certain thresholds. To keep it concise, if you deal/receive 1-499 damage in Zodiac you recover 1 MP, 9000 - 9998 gives you 15, above that 30, MP recovery values change between Original and Zodiac but there isn’t a huge difference. High damage classes like Black Mage can recover MP very quickly due to their high damage, while low damage classes like White Mage don’t recover a whole lot (this is one of the reasons why great physical damage is great for White Mage to recover MP).
Item Lores: Phoenix Lores are the simplest, a 10% increase for all versions. Potion Lores are 10%, 15% and 25% on Original, and 20%, 30% and 40% for Zodiac. Ether Lores are the same as Potions for Original, but are 10%, 20% and 30% on Zodiac. Remedy Lore 3 is the only way to cure Doom, however it doesn’t cure Reverse (Esuna), Stone (Stona) and X-Zone.
Battle and Magic Lores: They are flat stat increases to your characters base stat and not multipliers.

Overview on Weapon classes

NOTE: Melee weapons combo (chance to do more than one attack, increases at lower HP and with Genji Gloves), Ranged weapons do Critical hits (double-damage for single-target attack). CT speed difference between arms don’t have that noticeable of a difference outside of extremely fast or extremely slow weapons.
One-handed:

Unnarmed = Only does good damage on really high levels even with good STR, and Brawler or Amber Armlet (an Augment/Accessory that improves it), mostly for flavor or roleplay, also fun on a Strong Mode/New Game Plus run. It can be used with a Shield.
Swords = Consistent damage, can be paired with a Shield. The three best Swords have ok-ish combo rates (much lower than dedicated combo weapons though). Ok elemental and status effect variety. Slightly low CT speed in Original, improved a bit in Zodiac so it is a bit faster.
Daggers = Extremely fast CT speed, hits fast not hard, can be paired with a Shield. Good status variety, and wind coverage. Slightly better combo rate on average compared to other one-handed weapons outside of ultimate weapons. Main Gauche has ridiculous Evade, which can be paired with a Shield and a Shield Collar to be nearly untouchable to physical attacks (outside of those that ignore Evasion).
Hammers & Axes = Extremely high ATK at the expense of consistency, can hit for extremely high or low damage, can be paired with a shield. Axes have good CT speed, Hammers have average ones. Ultimate weapon have a good combo rate. No status effect or elemental coverage, they are purely designed to hit hard, and relatively fast.
Maces = Average CT speed on Original, and good in Zodiac, can be paired with a Shield. Tends to lag behind a little in attack power compared to other one-handed weapons, but since it only uses MAG for scaling it is a good damage option for Mages as they focus on using Mystic Armor (except Time Battlemage). Ok status effect variety, but, lackluster elemental coverage.
Measures = They have a pierce property like Guns, so they ignore defense, they also don’t take character stats into account, and can be paired with a Shield. They have extremely low Attack power, but have buffs tied to them, and also really good Evade, they are a tool for support or evasion tanking, and not for damage, also as an option to remove the Confuse status from a party member due to its low damage. For some ungodly reason they can crit in Original, but not anymore in Zodiac.

Two-handed:

Greatswords = Great ATK power, but two-handed. Good CT speed in Original, but average in Zodiac. Great endgame holy damage, but lackluster status effect coverage. Some late game Greatswords also have an ok-ish combo rate.
Katanas = Lower ATK power than other two-handed weapons, but, great combo rates to compensate for that. Lackluster status and elemental coverage (strong wind options though), good CT speed (slightly lower on Zodiac). They also use MAG for scaling so they are a decent option for magic geared characters for physical damage. Their ultimate weapon in Zodiac is a one-handed Katana that can be paired with a Shield.
Ninja Swords = Second fastest CT after Daggers, good combo rates overall, they are two-handed for balancing purposes despite the characters holding them with one hand. Decent status effect and elemental coverage, includes some rare elements too (In Zodiac at least, they are all dark elemental in Original, which is more of a curse than a blessing).
Spears = Good ATK power, good CT speed in Original (slightly lower in Zodiac). They aren’t as strong as Greatswords, but they don’t need accessories like Germinas Boots, or Genji Gloves to optimize their damage compared to other arms, so they are consistent and reliable, and great for using accessories to counter fight mechanics without losing out on damage. Good elemental coverage (including great Holy coverage), lackluster status coverage, but, later Spears have a high hit chance to inflict deadly negative status effects on enemies. Pitiful combo rates outside of one particular Spear. It can hit flyers (in Zodiac only).
Poles = Decent ATK power, great Evade, high combo rates like Katanas, average CT speed in Original, but, fast in Zodiac. They hit for Magick Resist instead of Physical, so they are good for low Magick Resist enemies. Lackluster elemental and status coverage (it has a strong wind option though), it has a weapon that increases water damage, which is a bit niche. It can hit flyers (in Zodiac only).
Rods = They aren’t that great in normal game, outside of one particular endgame Rod. Low ATK power, can’t combo, they increase a bit of magic and give a decent increase to MP, however that is mostly relevant on the very early game, on Original before you got Quickenings for MP, on Weak Mode/New Game Minus where everyone has really bad MP, even then the best Rod doesn’t give that significant of an increase in that area, especially by the time you get it. They can hit flyers though (Zodiac Only), and some have beneficial status effects that can be useful before you get certain spells, or if you miss them (one of them has earth coverage, but it is pretty weak overall). Average CT speed, but, outside of one particular Rod they aren’t made for beating enemies (even single-job White Mage can eventually unlock much better options for damage).
Staves = Most of the things I said about Rods apply, but, Staves are actually great, again not intended for fighting physically (one of them can inflict Stop on-hit though, a low chance, they can also hit flyers in Zodiac), but most Staves have a pretty decent increase to Magic, and more importantly increases the elemental damage of certain spells, for example the Flame Staff increases fire damage, some later Staves can even increase damage of multiple elements. Overall a great tool to increase spell damage. They are slightly slower than Rods.

Ranged:
NOTE: All ranged weapons can hit flyers in all versions.

Bows = Ranged physical damage, great elemental variety with Arrows which includes a rare element, but, lackluster status coverage (it has a KO arrow though). Ammo from Ranged arms scale well due to not being tied to weapon attack power, so they will always be useful even if you got an elemental arrow right at the start of the game. Later Bows have good Critical rate, all Bows receive a 20% accuracy penalty during bad weather (like raining). Reliable and quite powerful with good equipment. One of the Bows increases fire damage.
Crossbows = They are pretty bad compared to other arms sadly, they tend to have better ATK power early on, and win on the CT speed front, but all the other ranged options surpass them one way or another in other areas. In Zodiac even their bolts provide little status effects utility as they mostly overlap with Time Battlemage’s kit, and they have no elements tied to them. Their accuracy is generally worse than Bows, and is halved in bad weather. They aren’t completely unviable or awful if you want to use them for flavor, roleplaying or are playing single-job Time Battlemage, but, mechanically, pretty much every other option is better.
Guns = Ignore targets defense and evasion, also character stats (like Measures, they are affected by buffs and augments though as they aren’t flat stat increases, early game Guns are generally weak, but mid-late game ones fare much better in terms of reliable damage), however they have incredibly slow CT speed, it is one of the few weapon types where CT difference is noticeable in any significant way (there are way to mitigate that though). Their uniqueness does lend them to have a lot of interesting niches though, for one they are great for undergeared characters, and are royalty in Weak Mode/New Game Minus (consistent damage in a run where you can’t level up speaks for itself), even better elemental coverage than Archer, also including some rare elements, decent status coverage. Low Critical rate chance outside of the best Gun which has ok-ish Critical chance. Certain enemies are also highly resistant to Guns and Measures, it is pretty noticeable when your Gun suddenly starts doing no damage.
Hand-Bombs = A bit of an odd one, they are to their sister arms (Hammers & Axes), they have high ATK power at the expense of consistency, can hit for really high damage or really low damage, decent status variety with their bombs (though their hit rate is a tad low), they have a specific niche in doing water elemental damage due to one of them increasing water damage and also having access to Water Bombs. They can’t crit.

Other

Always read equipment descriptions, certain weapons can be equipped needing a license, others have on-hit effects, etc. The same logic applies to armor and accessories.
Invisible weapons are extremely overpowered gear (they are significantly better than even the ultimate weapons, practically debug tools) that are meant more as secrets and easter eggs, they are pretty much impossible to bump into if you don’t know their deal, unless you enjoy a power trip just ignore their existence for your first playthrough or if you even remotely want some kind of challenge.

2024.06.02 00:50 eternalheadache_ 38 and useless, decades wasted (long post, sorry)

Hello everyone, I’m a 38 year old man and struggling with bipolar disorder, dysthymia, general anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, body dysmorphia, possible schizophrenia, and severe stomach pain. Every day feels like a brutal, unwinnable war, and I’m finding it very hard to see a way out. This post turned out to be very long, I have no idea what I’m expecting to happen from posting it, and I most likely wouldn’t read it either, but seeing as I’m already seeing a therapist, a case manager, and a doctor exclusively designated to prescribe mental health meds (all through medicaid, I take 3 different meds right now for mental health reasons), I don’t know what else to do besides the basic momentary things meant to hold over the more extreme thoughts of self-harm.
While I am an only child, I’ve never lived on my own away from my parents for very long. They are much older than most people’s parents my age and have a very conservative, antiquated, entitled outlook on parenting. They did not see my success and prosperity as a priority, but rather something that I was solely responsible for even as a child left completely unattended in my room for hours. I have grown into an embarrassingly incompetent adult, bullied and mocked despite my age. While I am not blaming them entirely for this and am aware that there were better choices I could have made to prevent this outcome, I often wonder what they were doing and what was going through their head at points in my life where I desperately needed help while they believed it was their inalienable right not to care, such as when I attempted suicide at 13 by overdosing on medication, ending up in the ER, and then being made to go back to school the next day. One memory that especially stings is when I tried to bring my mother into a therapy session, only for her to vehemently stress that it wasn’t her responsibility to pay to help me beyond what medicaid could do before accusing my then-therapist of being in love with me and walking out.
I have no education beyond high school, as my attention span and mental illness have rendered me completely useless academically. I have read an embarrassingly low amount of books as well for the same reason. I was a horrible student from kindergarten all the way through senior year of high school, I never did my homework because of my hyperactivity and attention span, but still got shamed and scolded for it. To this day, aside from trivial things like music and cats, I have no interests that I have any desire to pursue an education/career in. Things like technology and the way things work hold no mystery to me at this point, and all I really want to do for the rest of my life is be free of pain and relax.
I have tried and failed to hold steady employment for most of my life. Since I was 16, no matter how hard I work, I never get promoted or given a chance to earn much more money than minimum wage. I have never made more than $17/hr in my life. When I need money, I have no option other than working customer service jobs, where I often am made to work alongside teenagers who are 20-30 years younger than me. I worked at a movie theater in 2015 where a bunch of them got me fired because they thought it’d be funny. I worked at Planet Fitness in 2019 where I was told that if I worked 3rd shift for 3 months that I would be promoted, only to find out that this was a lie the 21 year old general manager told me to get out of working those shifts himself, and when I brought this up to the district manager, I was told to “stop causing so much drama.” When I finally got a job at a non-profit that worked with homeless people as an executive assistant, I thought I had found my calling, only to again do the jobs of several different people, run the entire intake program by myself, get abused/harassed by clients despite trying to help them, and never be scheduled for more than 35 hours a week while the CEO’s family worked hardly ever and made 6 figures a year while being annoyed at my presence (at this job in particular, I was fired 4 days after my friend passed away. They also told the state that I quit in order to try getting out of paying me UI. I eventually got it, but it took 7 weeks of deliberate hold-ups and calls to the governor's office.)
I don’t have any close friends I can turn to, and often fall out with them due to my temperament and inability to control my emotions despite people always telling me that they’ll stick by me no matter what. My parents choose to move a lot, flushing money down the toilet and chasing an idea of flipping a home that never works out like gambling addicts, and as soon as I feel like I’m putting my feet in the ground somewhere, the rug is pulled out from under me and I’m made to start my life over again, especially as I can never afford to stay by myself anywhere.
I have never had a serious relationship with someone who genuinely liked me, and the relationships I have had have been very so hurtful that it’s nearly impossible for me to trust anyone anymore. Some of the things my exes have said and done still stick with me, despite having been single for 9 years now. I have a knot in my stomach and am still always a little scared to leave the house after my then-girlfriend in 2015 dated me seemingly to just bully me for fun, using me for insult-comedy material for her friends, getting me mad on purpose or straight up telling me to kill myself (as a “joke”) before sending screenshots of my reaction to her (mostly male) friends (she saw herself as being above accountability for things like this simply because her mom had passed away a few years prior). She once asked for a video of me masturbating, and I only discovered recently that she sent this video to multiple people, and this video has since become an inside joke within their friend group. (I have had free consultations with lawyers over this but I can’t really do anything without proof that is all long gone)
One of my major insecurities is my height/size. Being 5’6” as an adult man has always made me feel less than, and I often feel judged and overlooked because of it. I never physically grew to the potential I could have, and it seems my parents really didn’t care that I spent hours upon hours alone in my room playing video games and never sleeping. This insecurity adds to my feelings of worthlessness and makes social interactions even more challenging. The fact I can’t change this feels like a knife to the gut. The jokes and memes about how I’m ugly/worthless are never just jokes, and I worry that I will most likely die without anyone having truly known me simply because they don’t want to be seen with a short guy. No matter how much I work out, no matter how much I eat, I can barely keep on weight due to my anxiety, my arms, hands, and wrists are smaller than most young girls’, and 99% of the time I enter a room, I am the smallest person in it, male or female, and regardless of age. Many times other guys have said to me something to the effect of (with decent intentions) “man I feel bad for you, if I was that small I’d kill myself.”
The intrusive thoughts and memories never stop, to the point where I often find myself saying ‘god fucking dammit’, ‘jesus christ I hate myself’, ‘god what is wrong with me’, ‘i wanna die’, ‘i wish [person] would fucking die’ multiple times a day. It is hard to find even a moment of peace. When I go for walks or when I’m at the store or something, I’ll sometimes have this urge to just lay on the floor face down, and I really couldn’t tell you why, it almost feels like my place. I will relive traumatic moments in my head and then become enraged when I imagine what I would have done in those instances knowing what I know now. My heart will race and sometimes I’ll even cry, simply because my mind just remembered a random occurrence from my past (or sometimes something that didn’t even happen.)
I’m not gonna lie to you and tell you that suicidal thoughts are not a big part of my daily life. If anything, my fear of heights has saved my life in a way, as it’s prevented me from jumping off various bridges, despite trying a few times and getting too overwhelmed. I’ve never had access to guns or certain drugs that would be a sure thing in ending my life, but I’ve definitely looked into it. I guess it’s a good thing I’m too stupid and incompetent to learn how to tie a noose either, but I still wish I had the guts sometimes to just call it quits. I do however think about what it would be like for my mother to have to get that call that I’m dead, and she doesn’t deserve that, regardless of her abuse/neglect.
Throughout my life, I have often had the thought of “in the future, when everything is ok and I have everything I need to be at peace…” but nothing changes, no matter what I do, and now I’m almost 40 in the same place I was when I was 15 and people are still telling me to hold on. It just feels insulting. When I was forced to attend christian programs as a teen (despite my parents not attending church), I thought a lot about the concept of heaven and would say to myself “well at least after I die, I ‘ll be happy in heaven.”
Again, I don’t know what I was looking to accomplish in writing this. It did feel satisfying to get everything down in an organized fashion. There are other factors I obviously wish I could touch on (my past hard drug use, my current struggle with quitting marijuana, my stomach issues, my unhealthy relationship with porn), but I guess I’d just like to know if there’s anyone else out there who is even close to being in the same boat, because I don’t know how to deal with the panic that sets in when thinking about the literal decades I’ve spent rotting away in my room. Any tips or personal stories would be really appreciated. Thank you for reading.

2024.06.02 00:39 King-Koz3 June incentives: CX-90

Looks like June incentives for the CX-90 are 0.9% interest for 60 months or 1.9% interest for 72 months. Both seem great and not sure if we will see better financing deals from Mazda.
Anyone thinking of taking advantage of these deals this month?
I wonder if this is just to get rid of 2024 inventory before announcing the 2025 model year, which probably just reduces the number of trims.

2024.06.01 23:59 FloridaOrange How do I convince my sister she needs to make it official?

I need help. My (35f) sister (34) married her college sweetheart. He cheated on her 3 months into their relationship and turns out he never stopped. He cheated on her with 8 different women during the course of their marriage. He's the worst and it's not just because of the cheating, he's a narcissist who has been emotionaly abusing her for years. Telling her she'd be better off dead, sometime in front of their 5 year old son. Anyway after he trashed their home in December she finally left. It took him hurting their son (not physically but emotionally by destroying their home) to finally get her to have the strength to leave. I'm proud of her and I know that I can't truly comprehend how hard it was for her to do that.
It's been 6 months and she is finally admitting that there is no fixing their relationship but she still won't file for divorce. He's making her life hell. He won't agree to anything even if it's in the best interest of their child. Currently he would rather their son, who starts kindergarten in the fall, go to his old elementary school instead of the better ranked school next to her place just because he went there. If she says the sky is blue, he says it is green. His texts are mean and manipulative. It's hard to watch.
Every time I bring up that it's time to take the next step and make it official, she gets upset with me. She says she wants to wait until they are in a better place so they can discuss things calmly. She doesn't want a "messy divorce" with lots of fighting.
Waiting feels like a bad idea to me but I don't know much about divorce and I don't have actual reasons why she should do it now. Can you help me give her reasons why she should file?
Other details that might be important is that he hasn't worked for the last couple years. He was a stay-at-home dad while they traveled and she did travel nursing assignments. He now has a job at a restaurant and she has found a nursing job back home. She probably makes more money than him but I don't know. He lives in a trailer in his parents yard. She is moving to a new apartment next month. They live 20 minutes away from each other. They currently split custody 50/50.
Thank you all for reading this and thanks for any help you can offer. I want to help my sister but I really don't know how.
