This is a place to post links and discuss topics relating to Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). Economics can be a fractious discipline. Remember to judge arguments on merit, and not opinion. Offer constructive criticism first (and perhaps 2nd/3rd/4th, etc). Just as important: if your argument contains opinions, expect criticisms. Enjoy!

2024.05.22 00:03 MacDaddy228 Auto loan with credit card?

Recently posted in here asking about paying car note off with TSP loan and was heavily advised against doing so. So I just thought of another idea and wanted to see if this made sense/was possible. I have $5700 left on a navy federal auto loan at 6.59%. I have a capital one credit card with SCRA applied at 4%. (I know SCRA normally is 6%, but I applied SCRA to this card 7 years ago when I joined and it’s always been 4%). Can I pay the car off with this card or do a balance transfer? I would obviously still pay the card off as fast as possible but figured this would save me some interest money and also give me more flexibility with it.

2024.05.22 00:02 legitmaxwu Generate surprisingly good (90% accuracy) Radar rules using Sigma reports

If you frequently see fraud slip through your Radar ML/rule protections, this is for you!
My cofounder and I are building in the fraud space right now, and we noticed for some of our customers, some pretty blatant fraud cases get through with low to medium risk scores.
We looked into their historical transaction data via Stripe Sigma (which includes all the features passed into Stripe's ML model!), and through some super simple techniques, were able to come up with a list of rules that identified fraud with a 90%+ rate on the historical data. As in, 90% of transactions that the rule flagged either resulted in a fraudulent chargeback, or an early fraud warning. We quickly set up these rules so that future cases would not happen.
Example rules:
:email_count_for_ip_weekly: >= 10
:total_charges_per_card_number_daily: >= 15
:authorized_charges_per_billing_address_hourly: >= 5
Shockingly simple, right? And interesting that these transactions got away with low to medium scores. My best guess is that Stripe's ML model has to fit across all of their customers, so some things that would be suspicious for your business might not be for another one.
For that same reason, I can't guarantee our methods will work for everyone. But if anyone here is interested in trying our tool, DM me! It's really simple-- just 3 steps. Probably would take like 5 minutes.
  1. Run a Stripe Sigma query I give you, get a csv file
  2. Open our web app and input the csv file (the data never leaves your computer, everything is done in the browser)
  3. See if there's any rules you can add!
The tool is probably very buggy since we quickly spun it up, so I would LOVE to hop on call to walk you through the steps and debug any issues as they come along. Would also love a chance to learn more about your fraud stories, and we're happy to share what we know and give general tips on using Stripe Radar.
But if that's too much, happy give you a link to the tool to try out. Just DM! Again, the tool runs entirely on your browser so your data will never leave your computer.
If enough people find value in this, I'd love to polish it up and release it publicly later on :)

2024.05.22 00:01 ArkOfTheCube Alex Jones IS Bill Hicks

Alex Jones IS Bill Hicks
Why the Bill Hicks is Alex Jones theory needs to be taken seriously
1. Bill Hicks was good friends with his producer, Kevin Booth. Alex Jones is good friends with his producer, Kevin Booth.
2. Same exact hairline.
3. Same exact teeth.
4. They have brown eyes, similar mannerisms, similar outbursts, similar anti-establishment ideology. They smoke cigarettes the same way, by holding it in the middle like a joint.
5. Bill Hicks made a joke about selling an orange drink after calling out elite globalists who use media to keep people stupid. Alex Jones does all that, including selling an orange drink- Tangy Tangerine.
6. In Bill Hicks co-written by Kevin Booth, there was a part where Kevin mentioned that on the way back from Bill Hicks funeral, Bill had appeared sitting shotgun and said that he had done it. He pulled off the world’s biggest joke like it was all a magic trick. Sounds to me like Kevin threw that in there as another form of mockery proving that Bill never died.
7. Bill Hicks said in an interview that he wants to go down routes that aren't mainstream.
8. Alex Jones claims to be 45, but he looks more like 57- the age Hicks would be if he wasn't dead.
9. Bill Hicks did a redneck impression that sounds exactly like Alex Jones. He also did a bit about how he took a big check for a new project and he said "and BOOM, one check I'm Al.., I'm a producer!" as if he almost spilled the beans.
10. Bill Hick's and Alex Jones' work timelines never coincide. Bill Hicks died in 94, and Alex Jones appeared in 97.
11. Yearbook photos and birth/death certificates mean nothing. If a death was faked, the government would have to aid in manipulating those documents. The yearbook photo of Jones looks like any white person. The Yearbook photo of Hicks means nothing- he sold out to the CIA in 1994.
12. Hicks thrived in humor that bashed media, Hollywood and questioned anything mainstream. He was growing in popularity and he was able to make jokes in a smart way that could wake people up. The CIA made him an offer that he couldn't refuse to become the controlled opposition as a character- Hicks was happy to embark a new life as a character and be set for life. Alex Jones' Infowars brings in $50M every year.
13. They have the same moles on their neck, in the same exact place. Bill Hicks had a mole on his left cheek; Alex Jones has a circular scar on his left cheek in the exact same spot.
14. This theory is something that is ridiculed in every community it is presented in. Seems like the work of bots to keep the secret behind the CIA's controlled opposition a secret.
15. They are the same height. When looking at a picture of Kevin Booth and Alex Jones- and of Kevin Booth and Bill Hicks, they are both nearly the same height as Kevin Booth.
16. Bill Hicks last appearance on television was a journalism piece on the Waco Seige. Alex Jones's first appearance on television was a journalism piece on the Waco Seige.
17. Bill Hicks allegedly died at 32 from pancreatic cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, almost all patients are older than 45. About 2/3 are 65 years old. The average age is 70. Bill was less than half the average age.
18. Alex Jones is clearly going “over the top” when being interviewed on mainstream media to make real conspiracy theorists look crazy and unreliable. In a recent court hearing, Alex Jones’ lawyer revealed that he’s “playing a character” and that says to me it’s Bill Hicks playing the character of Alex Jones.
19. People accidentally called Alex Jones, “Bill” on his show a few times. Jerome Corsi, Max Keiser, and Duncan Trusell all slipped up while being interviewed and called Alex, “Bill”.
20. In an interview, Kevin Booth stated that Alex Jones is funnier than Bill Hicks. For a supposed BEST FRIEND of a famous comedian to say that is disrespectful to the legacy of Bill Hicks. If Bill really died of cancer, that never would have happened.
21. Before the Alex Jones is Bill Hicks conspiracy took off, Alex Jones received a plaque honoring Bill Hicks from Kevin Booth. There’s not a shred of evidence proving that Alex and Bill knew each other, so why would Alex Jones be the recipient of a plaque honoring Bill Hicks UNLESS they were doing it as a form of mockery?
22. Alex Jones was on camera looking lean, muscular in 1997 and looked/sounded different than the Alex we know today. Also in 1997, he was pictured looking pudgy and out of shape](https://preview.redd.it/9khxoju091sy.jpg?width=640&auto=webp&s=4553e3029ec58e97a351803f9baba69a226b9ba3).
23. From Kevin Booth, the best friend of Bill Hicks/Alex Jones: "Alex used to sit in front of a star map and I had a hard time putting my finger on exactly what it was that Alex was talking about. I remember the very last time Bill Hicks came to Austin Access (spring of 93) – we were working on a script called "Public Access" about a Rush Limbaugh" type character who angers a viewer and the viewer came to the station and killed the host on the air.

2024.05.22 00:01 ikieneng My fanfiction - episode 4!

My fanfiction - episode 4!
The next part is here! This episode is so long that I had to split it, and today, you're finally getting part 3 of 3.
You can find the previous episodes in the side bar! (Community info page in the app)
DISCLAIMERS (the same ones as before)
The point of this fanfiction is not to be a straight-up continuation of events with the same themes, intensity, and tone. If you go into it with those expectations, you are probably not going to like it. Rather, it’s supposed to be how I wish things went if these events were real life. The resolution you want for a real-life situation isn’t often the right choice for a show, but it can be incredibly beautiful. Think of what you’re about to read to be a separate show then.
Episode 1 of this fanfiction begins after the episode “2:00” (season 2 episode 4), so it replaces the episode “Cake” and the ones that follow it. This fanfiction expects you to have seen the entirety of seasons 1 and 2, so you should watch those first.
I myself am bursting into the story here. The narrator and me are the same. While my character is like 95% real me, don’t take events about my life described here as facts. Some aspects of my life have been changed for the story. In my head, I started writing like an “alternate me” character in 2016, fulfilling a lot of the things that I wish I had in life, adding that to my story. I’m not really from Ukraine. I speak fluent Ukrainian as a foreign language, I started learning it in 2014, and I’ve talked to tons of people from there, but I’m not from Ukraine. I also don’t have as much money as I do in the story. I wish lmao.
If you want to post your own fanfiction, feel free to do so! To get your own post flair for your fanfic, and to appear in the side bar, please message me.

Part 3 (days 3 and 4)

We’d wake up on day three, and still, nothing would be any different - we’re still locked up. We’d both feel really worried not knowing if we’ll have to forfeit our whole plan because we might run out of food and water and take the risky route - calling the police and getting ourselves into a situation where we’d have to be freed by force, which would be so dangerous because the Turners have proven that there’s nothing they’re not prepared to do to us to “get Jericho back”. Leanne would ask me “What do we do if we call the police, and Mrs. Turner comes up here and tries to hurt us?” At first, I’d insist that we start thinking about that when we do run out of food the next day, but she’d insist we should come up with a plan. I’d point at the corner on the edge of the attic facing Spruce Street, the corner that’s to one’s right when coming up into the attic,
https://preview.redd.it/knoz0zwpou1d1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=bd1694f292bb546ea45339ebecea7ffacfe33541
and say “Then you’d curl up and hide over there, and I’d take the radio, you’d take the metronome, and I’d sit down in front of you, shielding you, and if she gets in here before the cops do, we’ll defend ourselves. And we’d record everything on my phone. And we should probably hide behind the sofa. Maybe then, she might not notice we’re still up here at first. She’d probably be in a state of panic.” She’d look at me with sad, but touched eyes and just hug me and say thank you. I’d reply “Of course”. After some silence, I’d tell her “If anything happens to me… Please bring me back”.

She’d be touched by that, but say that if she reanimates me, the Church of Lesser Saints will come after ME as well because they’ll believe that I’ll be obligated to join. With a worried smile, I’d say “I know... But they’re probably already gonna do that, right? Because I won’t let them get to you!” We’d both nod with the same half-happy, half-worried expression. “And if things go terribly wrong and you have to bring me back, we can try again!”

I’d ask if I’m getting it right that the “great sins” they think she’s committing are not spending time with the Church and helping another family from the one that was assigned to her. She’d say yes and add that there’s a lot more they hate her for, like her “disobedient and rebellious streak”, disobeying their instructions, putting curses on people, and now, leaving the Marinos.
https://preview.redd.it/4obn4r9uou1d1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=1e77adafbde221c320999ba1169adb0a1c6b2b17
After a few seconds of silence (out of shock that this is how the Church of Lesser Saints frames it), I’d be like “If you disobey so many of their instructions, then...”, look her directly in the eyes, and go “Good! Keep on disobeying them! I’m actually kind of stunned that this is how they frame your actions, because that is so manipulative. Wanting to have a life where you don’t have to worry about your every step being watched and controlled, where you can actually freely explore what you believe – not what they tell you to believe, but what YOU believe, where you can do totally normal human things like listen to music, and where you can go wherever you want and make some basic decisions for yourself and work wherever you want, that doesn’t make you...” (doing the “quote-on-quote” with my hands while I say it) “quote-on-quote ‘disobedient’ or ‘rebellious’, it makes you a normal human being. If they forbid every little thing that people do that makes you happy, if you then look for happiness elsewhere, that’s on them. You can’t take every bit of joy away from people and then expect them to just deal with it. You wanting to run away, that’s the logical result of their bullshit. And you didn’t ‘leave’ the Marinos, you were taken. Don’t let them think you’re at fault in any way!” She might have never heard any verbal confirmation before that her feelings about leaving are valid, and this would be so reassuring to her. She’d tell me that whenever she did things like not be there for meals at the Church, skip assemblies, or curse people without permission, she would be brought before May and the rest of the community, get questioned about her behavior, and she’d have to self-flagellate to receive forgiveness.
https://preview.redd.it/roex7c20pu1d1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=32cecf94a41a97e66b1c74967cb074ca89321777
I’d go really still and quiet when she mentions the self-flagellation, which she’d then explain is a frequent punishment. That would freaking break my heart... I’d ask her when was the last time she hurt herself, and it was a little less than two weeks ago, before she was forced to leave the Turners. Very carefully and quietly, I’d ask her if it would be okay if she can show me her scars and add “You do NOT have to if you’re not comfortable, PLEASE don’t do it if you’re not”, and after a second, she’d nod and show me her back. My heart would break for her even more seeing her scars, I’d just express how horrible it is that they made her do that… I’d show her some of my cut wounds from when I self-harmed, which I hadn’t done in like three and a half years at that point. I’d want her to know that way that I get the urge, that I really do, but I’d tell her that hurting oneself achieves nothing. All it does is make you feel horrible mentally and physically, and every time you do it, there’s a risk of infection and even death. I’d just tell her I understand while taking her in my arms. I’d ask her to please look me in the eyes and tell me she won’t hurt herself again, and that when she feels like doing it again, to please talk to me first. She’d quietly say “I promise” while looking me in the eyes, and after some longer embraces, we’d both smile a bit, that would make me really happy to hear! I’d ask that when we’re out of here, if we can call a doctor sometime soon and get them to look at her scars to make sure none of them are infected, if she’s comfortable enough, and she’d nod and smile at me a little bit some more.

We’d eat after that. We’d run out of tomato soup that meal, and I’d tell her that when we’re getting out of there, I’d get her all the tomato soup in the world! “We’re gonna fill a whole hotel fridge with tomato soup!” “And with Ben & Jerry’s?”, she’d ask, and I’d say yes and say that we’re probably gonna need more than one fridge. I’d say we’re gonna pick the nicest and most expensive hotel to stay at, an idea that she’d love! “You still think Allentown is a good idea?”, I’d ask her, and she’d think my reasoning from the day before makes sense and say yes. We’d look for the nicest hotel in Allentown online and see that there are “only” three-star hotels in Allentown. Leanne would ask if getting such an expensive place to stay is really okay, and I’d say “Money is not an issue, don’t worry about it” while reaching across her back and like caressing her right shoulder, looking her in the eyes, and smiling. “And besides, let’s spoil you, you fucking deserve it after all this!” We wouldn’t book anything yet because we wouldn’t know when we can get out of there yet, but looking at all those insanely nice hotels would lift our spirits a bit.

After eating the first half of that day’s rations (only two half day’s rations would be left after that…), we’d think that it would probably be a good idea if we started writing the document for the police right now. Writing it can take hours upon hours, and there’s no point in delaying the rescue to write the document after I leave if we can do it right now, so we’d begin right that moment. It would begin something like “My name is Daria Horenko, born July 30, 1999 in Odesa, Ukraine, residing in 501 Pembroke Ave, Philadelphia 19050, Pennsylvania...” (I don’t live there. I have no idea who does. Please leave them alone lmao) “...I sent this statement to my Facebook friend Liam [...] (residing in Tipperary, Ireland, using Facebook as Liam [...]) as a PDF file and told him to call the Philadelphia police and read this statement to them if I don’t come back online and confirm that I’m okay by 10 PM Philadelphia time / 3 PM London, UK time on December 22, 2022. If he is reading this to you, it probably means that there was no sign of life from me by that time, and that I’m not safe, probably kidnapped and locked up by Dorothy Turner, Sean Turner, Julian (I’m not sure about his surname, but I’m referring to Dorothy Turner’s brother - redhead, not very tall, moderately overweight) in the attic of their residence at 9780 Spruce Street, Philadelphia 19139, Pennsylvania”, and then document everything I’ve seen in chronological order and everything that Leanne has told me, with a link to our video and photographic evidence, references to DNA evidence that can probably be found in the hole in the basement if they haven’t covered it up by now, and a statement at the end saying that I’ve written it together with Leanne to make sure that everything is correct. That would take a really long time, hours for sure. But when it’s done, I’d run spell- and grammar checks on it and send it to my printer at home, to be queued for printing when I get home and turn it on. We’d also know that today (December 21) or tomorrow will be the day when we leave one way or another, so I’d schedule a text message to 911 in 30 hours from that moment. The message would say “This is a scheduled message. If you’ve received it, then Leanne Grayson (born October 13, 2001)...” (We only ever learn Leanne’s birth year from the gravestone. October 13 is Nell Tiger Free’s birthday, so October 13, 2001 being Leanne’s birthday is kind of my headcanon)
https://preview.redd.it/0hr9niq1pu1d1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=4dbead2015781ed8beee236188b8273aac1b3fb0
“...and me (Daria Horenko, born July 30, 1999) are probably not safe, abducted and locked up against our will by Dorothy Turner, her brother Julian, and Sean Turner in the attic of their house at 9780 Spruce Street, Philadelphia 19139, Pennsylvania or somewhere else on the property. We need help immediately. The Turners should be considered dangerous and very clearly willing to use violence and intimidation. We need help NOW. Details in our prepared statement: [the link]”. Because we’re holding out hope that we won’t have to call the police from inside the attic, the document would include information on what our plan is to get Leanne (and me) out of there as safely as possible and call the police from the taxi, but that if we run out of rations, we won’t have a choice but to call the police while we’re unarmed and while the Turners still have the upper hand.

We would debate whether we should include information about the Church of Lesser Saints right away or tell the police about them later because we know how that sounds, considering that this would hurt the credibility of our testimony,
https://preview.redd.it/sinvabf3pu1d1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=e37811b53eb90cb8a066bfcb30f6244bb9f34ad4
but we’d modify the document and include the most important information about them as well, with more believable explanations - how they forced Leanne and other members to self-harm (meaning that current members or those who recently left), where they’re currently operating from in Lancaster,
https://preview.redd.it/mxbm8445pu1d1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=1f9b5f1c671c15afce7149eeb90926c2c29b9bdb
that they faked their deaths, that they forced Leanne to leave the Turners, and the necessary lie that they took the real baby, and that Leanne hasn’t seen it since that day and doesn’t know where they’ve taken it. We’d also include names and stuff, and most importantly, reference the baptism tape and say that it shows May and George watching us from the sidewalk outside the church less than three weeks ago, and that piece of evidence would change everything in regards to investigating the Church of Lesser Saints and make the police believe us. We’d add that it’s probably among the other DVDs in the Turners’ living room, and that I’ll try to get it when leaving the building if our original plan is still going to be an option, rip the DVD at home, and add a link to the video file to the document. We’d modify the scheduled text message as well, and we’d charge both phones, mine first because the scheduled message is so important, but it’s an iPhone, so we could charge it to 100% rather quickly and then charge hers. And we’d add that we’d want the police to get Leanne’s things from the Marino estate. All her stuff being there would be further evidence that she was taken suddenly and against her will. We’d also add what number Leanne can be reached at for now with the Samsung Galaxy phone. And then, I’d send the document to Liam on all platforms where I know how to reach him, followed by a message to alert the authorities if I’m not back online confirming that we’re both okay in what’s now probably more like 29 hours, the phone number of the Philadelphia police, and caps at the beginning saying that it’s an actual emergency.

Out of nowhere, I’d ask her if she’s seen “Titanic” lmao, and with her near total isolation growing up, she wouldn’t have seen it. “I’ve only seen movies on TV”. I’d be like “I can show you lots of movies if you want! I got several subscriptions to streaming services, and also a bunch of stuff offline on an external drive at home.”
https://preview.redd.it/lr58woa7pu1d1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=63537b149270faeebb2c3f1be9ba2af0d259e1b7
Back on talking about “Titanic”, I’d tell her it’s wonderful and so freaking romantic, albeit over-the-top at times for sure and a bit overrated. It has that glossy feeling and some superficial characters to it that all James Cameron movies have, but it’s still really wonderful. After explaining the plot to her (since she’s grown up so isolated), I’d tell her about one scene that I’m thinking about a lot from time to time - near the end of the movie, when old Rose is done telling the researchers her story, she says that she doesn’t even have a picture of Jack, and that has hit me so hard from the first time I’ve seen the movie.
https://preview.redd.it/96bgw8s8pu1d1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=476c1a4cbee498c26a0be4651ef83258f0aa7748
She has no physical memories of him, she can never see his face again, and she can never show people what he looked like. That just rips my heart. I’d ask Leanne if we can take some pictures together. We’d look pretty horrible because we haven’t been able to shower in days, but we wouldn’t care and take them anyway and really, genuinely smile so hard. I’d send them to her email address (leanne_grayson@icloud.com, that email address is on her resume in the show),
https://preview.redd.it/frfz9e7apu1d1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=1b65065ab622e71f52edc6e9b84a2974e7efe9cb
manually sync my gallery with iCloud, and I’d send them to Liam. I’d ask what phone she got back at the Marinos’ and if she’s got any pictures of herself in her iCloud gallery, but she’d tell me she’s rarely ever taken pictures of herself, only for the resume she applied at the Turners’ for, and I’d be like “Whaaaaat? But you’re so beautiful!”, and she’d smile hard, a bit embarrassed. I’d look her straight in the eyes and say it again and say that I mean it for real, she is so incredibly beautiful! It’s probably so rare that anyone’s ever said that to her in her entire life (her mother definitely didn’t, and given that the Church of Lesser Saints believes that anything that feels good is dangerous,
https://preview.redd.it/msylzejbpu1d1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=b343bf8d10b86f7c731eed3c8a5204460daec4d4
it’s rather unlikely that they did), Tobe saying it in “Balloon” might even have been the only time ever…
https://preview.redd.it/jdce6tndpu1d1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=c9edaacd72634c3dbe7dbf29abcc84f2412a10d4
I’d then add “Inside AND out!”, and she’d smile some more in a bit of embarrassment and then look me in the eyes and say “You, too, Daria!”, and as you’d expect, I’d smile so hard and even with my eyes!

It would be rather late by then, so we’d eat and listen to some more music together from the Spotify playlist I created for her and talk so much about what we’re hearing.

After dinner, she’d bring the topic up on her own (this is kind of making fun of these fan theories) - she’d tell me that some in the Church of Lesser Saints think she’s the Devil or Lilith because of her rebelliousness, and how she’s inspired doubt in some people in the Church. I’d make such a weirded-out face. After realizing she’s serious, I’d say “If you are the Devil, then hail Satan! Like, seriously, if YOU are what God is threatening will happen if we don’t follow him, then that’s literally the weakest threat I’ve ever heard of. Then God is the villain here. We need more people like you in the world!” Shy as she still is, she’d still be almost embarrassed to hear this (she’s so not used to compliments), and I’d make it clear I’m serious, that I really think she’s fricking wonderful and the sweetest, and that she clearly has a huge heart full of so much love, and that she deserves so much better than what she’s ever experienced! Almost in denial, she’d see in my eyes that I really mean it and just smile and hug me, and then, we’d both smile even more! I’d rub her back a lot in that moment and promise her again that everything will be okay. “I’ll make sure of that!”

After some more music together, knowing that tomorrow will be the day we leave, no matter which plan we’ll go with, we’d make sure we haven’t forgotten anything. Looking around, I’d realize I have to give her my earphones with a cord because the internal mic of my Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini is essentially useless. I’d tell her that when I call her the next day to tell her it’s safe to come downstairs now, she should answer the call, plug in the earphones, and then, it will take a few seconds until I can hear her, but then, it should be fine. We’d set a code phrase that I’ll mention to let her know if the Turners got me and it’s NOT safe to come down. She’d suggest “tomato soup”, and I’d smile and say yes, that’s gonna be our code phrase. “And if it IS safe to come down?”, she’d ask, and I’d suggest “ice cream”.

I’d realize that we should probably find her fresh clothes in the attic and a coat right now, so as I said, it’s not too obvious that she’s been locked up for a long time the second she walks out of the door, because if she’s in dirty clothes or nightwear, with it being obvious that she hasn’t showered in days, and I get her out of there and into a taxi to drive off while I got a gun, it would look as if I was kidnapping her, so we’d find her a nice dress and coat up there, and I’d turn around and close my eyes while she puts it on, and when she’s done, I’d tell her again that she looks amazing! 😊

And she’d smile and thank me this time, sort of the way she says it to the makeup artist at the street fair in S3E5 “Tiger” in that typical way of hers that’s so adorable for real,
https://preview.redd.it/fuu6x7ohpu1d1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=ec5f23b8de4568996bd6e4c706ab4f95b8f98063
and she’d look in my direction and say “You look really beautiful, too!”, really shy, before peeking me in the eyes for a moment, and we’d just look at each other for a moment. “Can I have your pictures?”, she’d ask me, and I’d say yeah, open my iPhone, and select ALL pictures of myself in my gallery and send them to her email address, and send her those that are too large via a Google Drive link (iCloud isn’t great for sharing files lol), and then, I’d take her Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini, download them all (which would take a while because that phone is ancient), and set one of the pictures we’ve taken together as her wallpaper, and then set it as my wallpaper on my iPhone as well! 😊

We’d consider if there’s anything else we’ve missed. She’d mention that parts of the floor screech, especially one tile, so when I sneak out, I gotta be careful on the stairs, especially with that one tile.
https://preview.redd.it/nijqz08jpu1d1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=6f6756ae6c304a5f5133c21ef857e0f91c6c91d7
After a few seconds, she’d ask me if we wanna book a hotel now, and I’d smile and say sure! “Did you like any hotels in particular, out of the ones we looked at?” She’d say “The one with the big jacuzzi looks great” with big eyes and enthusiasm in her voice, like she does during some of her conversations with Tobe in S3E5 “Tiger”. “You’ve ever been in a jacuzzi?”, I’d ask her, and she’d go “Nooo, but I wanna try!” in the same tone,
https://preview.redd.it/6rh2p63lpu1d1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=987a19161b85fe5ee6a500f452c168ba7dec961b
and so, after lying down now, we’d look up which hotel she was talking about and book a two-room suite in that hotel in Allentown for three weeks. I’d add “So we can easily look out for each other, and so you’ll also have some privacy.”, and she’d smile and nod, that consideration would probably mean a lot to her.

We’d then get ready for bed. For the next day, I’d get some better clothes as well and put them on while she’s turned around with her eyes closed. I’d take the last ration of food out of my backpack, put the clothes I just took off at the bottom of it, above Leanne’s Bible (the porcelain baby and card are already in one of the other pockets), and put my phone and the chargers in another pocket. I’d look around and ask her if there’s anything else I should take with me to safeguard, and at first, she’d also look around because she wouldn’t know how to answer right away, but she’d then point at Mrs. Barrington with her face,
https://preview.redd.it/amqsh2mmpu1d1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=12d0bfe376210a8798671d45f31e96e28037870b
and I’d be like “Well, I think she’s a little too big for my backpack, but I can talk to the police when we’re out of here, maybe we can try to get her!”, and Leanne would nod with a big smile again.

We’d lie down on the mattress and share the covers again. Just like the night before, I’d lie down on the side of the mattress that’s closer to the stairs, in case Dorothy changes her mind and tries to assault Leanne again… On the mattress, she’d suddenly hug me really tight, break into tears, and thank me over and over again, and I’d just hold her tight, say “Of course”, and assure her that everything’s gonna be okay, that we’ll get out of there tomorrow. I’d wipe some of her tears off her face 🥺 On the mattress, we’d just look each other in the eyes and both just smile more and more, and after a minute or two, she’d kiss me on the lips for a tiiiiny moment and then, we’d just smile at each other even harder! She’d say “I’m not supposed to do that” while still smiling just as hard and looking me directly in the eyes! “Says who?”, I’d reply. She goes “My aunts and uncles”, and I’d say “I don’t think they’re a reliable source!”, and we’d kiss each other some more and longer, and both feel each other’s smile on our lips, and peek at each other a few times in between 😊🥰❤️ We’d both put our arms around each other before telling each other good night and before I promise her one more time it’s all going to be okay!
https://preview.redd.it/08fqmdqspu1d1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=477498f6f3e6260f2a0429defebf98475b14eda1
At some point during the night, she’d wake me up, and when she does, I’d realize I had a nightmare, like, not from my night terrors, and she’d tell me I had a nightmare, that I was sniffling in my sleep, and that I told her two days earlier to wake me up if this happens. Still feeling terrible (the feeling of immediate dread always takes a while to subside for me), I’d thank her. I’d ask what I was saying, and she’d say that I wasn’t speaking English. I’d consider if I should tell her for a moment, but then, I’d take a deep breath, look up for a second, and with a heavy voice, slowly say “What if we try plan A tomorrow, and I fail? I’m scared… I don’t wanna mess this up… I don’t wanna fail you…” And she’d slowly look at me and just say two words: “You haven’t!” I’d look at her and almost laugh a bit out of joy. I’d smile and just cuddle up to her a bit, and she’d do it back. I’d say I’ll try to listen to music for a while to calm down because doing something else makes it much easier for me to zone out of the feeling of dread again. “Why only you?”, she’d ask. “I don’t wanna keep you awake”, I’d say, “You need the sleep”, and she’d say “It’s okay” and just smile a bit, and so, we’d listen to some music together for about half an hour.

I’d tell her that my sleep is so horrible (she’d say she can tell) because I don’t have my meds, and I’m really fricking looking forward to taking them again. Without them, the quality of my sleep is terrible, and it takes so long for me to fall asleep at all if I don’t take them. She’d ask if I’ve taken them for a long time, and I’d say that I haven’t taken these particular meds for long because whatever I take, my body builds up some resistance to them pretty quickly, so after a while, I always have to get new ones, but I’ve taken sleeping meds for years now. “It sounds like they’re really helping you, right?”, she’d ask, and I’d nod and say “Yeah, they really do. I’m also taking antidepressants, and they were an absolute gamechanger for me. It’s okay if I don’t take them for a few days because they don’t work in the moment, but they like rewire your brain over time, and they’re the best thing that’s ever happened to my mental health. Before I started taking them, it was so hard for me to avoid bad thoughts or resist them, like, it was hell, but ever since then, it got sooo much easier, and not letting things get to me or not letting bad things really take over me is just so much easier now.” After a while, I’d say “I was at a psychiatric clinic voluntarily for six months, but I also had nowhere else to go, and the doctors and employees really abused their power. They only intervened when there was physical violence, they didn’t intervene in any other conflicts, so because of them, the patients constantly bullied each other. My doctor switched to another department while I was there, so I got a new one, and the new one wasn’t perfect, but at least, she cared. I got really lucky to get a place at a living group for mentally ill people, which was when I could finally leave. But honestly, all my experiences with mental health professionals since then have been better. I went to a different clinic for four or five days voluntarily in 2019, and even they were far better. “That sounds scary…”, she’d say. I’d reply “It was. But things got much better after that. I had lots of setbacks, like, you know, but if you get help, it’s always better.”

After the current song’s over, we’d lie down to try and sleep again. We’d smile at each other again in bed, and I’d give her a short-ish kiss before saying good night, and we’d both smile even harder after that 😁 And we would fall asleep for good after a while (it would still take me longer than her).

In the morning, Leanne would wake me up again. She’d show me that the door is unlocked and open by a little bit now (they’re “letting” her out for a few hours…),
https://preview.redd.it/sqql9udupu1d1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=b2505bc6f7795639777433a1897f0d31e5753d67
and we’d both just embrace and chuckle in huge joy, as we can go with plan A now, the less risky one! We’d remember to quiet down after a few seconds and whisper from then on out. I’d go to the toilet roll, take eight pieces, rip them into two bands of four pieces each, and roll each of them up into a little bunch. I’d give them to her and tell her to put them into the wall pieces of the door when she gets out (so it looks like the door is closed while it can’t actually lock) and give me an audible signal when the third floor is clear, so I’ll get out with my backpack, take out the toilet paper, and hide in her room.
https://preview.redd.it/bzze2o6wpu1d1.png?width=304&format=png&auto=webp&s=aaa155b611408db6e9960485f6f726125fc2698d
“Is there anything you want me to get from there?”, I’d ask. “No. Everything is here or at the Marinos’.” I’d go “Okay” and move on - since I’m almost definitely unable to come down to the second floor right away (I’m using American English in all of these episodes. “First floor” in American English = “ground floor” in British English; “Second floor” in American English = “first floor” in British English; “Third floor” in American English = “second floor” in British English, etc.), she’d give me a signal when coming back upstairs. We’d agree that when she comes back upstairs, if it’s safe to go to the second floor, she’d shout something, maybe in conversation, maybe some sort of cry, doesn’t matter, and if not, she’d kick something. She’d be locked upstairs again after that, so I’ll have to tell when to get further downstairs myself, which I’d do as soon as I’ve heard absolutely no sounds from inside the house for at least a few minutes. On the first floor, I’d get the DVD from March 11, 2001, and if the baptism tape isn’t clearly labeled among the tapes, I’d unplug the DVD player from the TV, turn on the player, open the DVD slot, and if the tape isn’t in there, I’d take all unlabeled tapes. I’d then listen in on the basement door for a few seconds, and if I hear no sounds from down there, I’d quietly open the basement door and go downstairs, and if no one’s there, I’d get out through the side entrance down there, out through the back gate, walk back to Spruce Street, drive my bike home, take a shower, watch the tape from March 11, 2011 like she told me I could, hide it somewhere at home, print out the document for the police, take it with me in an envelope, print out a second version of it to give to the taxi driver, so I can say “If I’m not back in an hour, please call the police for me and read this to them”. I’d then call a taxi (a taxi with a large trunk whose driver is allowed to drive to Allentown and back), load my gun, and leave for the Turners’ and get Leanne.

We’d see that Liam has replied by now. Of course, he’d be super worried, but he’s got our backs for the plan, and that would be really reassuring. We’d look each other in the eyes, and then, I’d hug her sooo tight for several seconds, and we’d have one loooong kiss (hoping it’s not the last time we see each other…) before she goes downstairs while looking back at me on the way before putting the toilet paper in the door. I’d then put on my backpack. Once Leanne loudly shouts “Mister Turner?”, that would be my signal, and I’d hide in her room for about 45 minutes before she’s “let” back upstairs and shouts “You can lock me in now, Mrs. Turner”,
https://preview.redd.it/uy9loclypu1d1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=16abd51170405f1ef3123ff22f4559642a0c0c92
which is when I’d sneak into the storage/guest room and wait. It would take like five hours until I hear nothing for a while, which is when I’d sneak onto the first floor, look around to make extra sure no one’s there, and go to the living room. I’d get the tape from March 11, 2011, and the baptism tape would be among the labeled DVDs, and I’d put it into the box of the March 11, 2011 tape (I’d put the original DVD loose in there and use the spot inside the box for the baptism tape because it’s probably more important. I then wouldn’t hear anything from the basement, so I’d slowly and quietly go down there. No one would be there, so I’d leave as planned and go home and take a shower. I’d watch the March 11, 2011 DVD. I’d be surprised to see the interaction between Leanne and Dorothy for sure, but sort of knowing her, I wouldn’t think anything bad of it. I’d actually get it because of my past celebrity crushes (which I know isn’t what she was feeling for Dorothy) and the desire to meet them, especially with Blanche. I’d get why Leanne wouldn’t want the police to see it, it would look bad for her. I’d wrap up the DVD in a thick piece of paper and tape it to the back of my closet, between the closet and the wall. I’d burn the piece of paper in the DVD case in my bathtub with a bucket of water next to me just in case. I’d test if the DVD of the baptism tape still works (it does), rip it, upload the video file to Google Drive, add it to the document for the police, cancel my printing queue, print the document (two versions of it. The one for the taxi driver would just have a short introduction at the beginning, like, that I’m the person who ordered the taxi), order the taxi, pack my things for the next couple of weeks and anything that Leanne might need, so I’d include any clothes that I think could fit her, and go to the taxi. I’d tell the driver to get me one block away from 9780 Spruce Street (which isn’t actually a real address, by the way) and wait there for me. Before leaving for the Turner house, I’d give him the envelope with his version of the letter for the police and tell him what I said I would tell him. I’d then get my backpack with the gun in it from my luggage in the trunk, and walk to the Turners’ house.

I have already "written" so much more in my head, but I've now reached the end of what I've actually written down, so it will take longer until the next episode is out now! Hope you've enjooooyed this one!

2024.05.22 00:01 scarsellaj The Hater’s Guide to the 2023-24 Bundesliga Season: Debriefing

I hope nobody else is doing this. And I hope you enjoy it because this is not going to be a regular occurrence. This season of German football was just too good to not write up. So let’s go over some storylines.
Bayer Leverkusen: 50. Fucking. Matches. Unbeaten. Do you realize how impressive that is? The fact that it was Never-kusen to do it is insane. Mostly down to Xavi Alonso being the next elite manager. He completely changed the Bayer team. Grimaldo, Frimpong, Wirtz, Boniface, Stanisic, Schick, Tapsoba. The building blocks of a title winning team. Congrats, boys, you saved German football. If you win this treble, it will be one of the greatest stories in football history. You ended the Bayern monopoly after years of stagnation. The goal now will be to keep the gang together. Alonso has already thwarted attempts for Bayern, Liverpool, and Madrid to sign him. The squad remains the big question. It’s not about whether key players will be sold, it’s about which ones.
Stuttgart: The amount of times I’ve double taked on 2nd place is comical. This team was fighting relegation last season. They only survived because they won the pro-rel playoff. Now they’re playing Champions League football next campaign. Guirassy surely was the story of the season. Deniz Undav regained his spot with Streets Won't Forget FC after his redemption campaign. Jee Woo-Yeong was a rock in midfield. Alex Nubel kept the ball out of the next making him a prime candidate as the next great German goalkeeper. More credit is due to their manager, Sebastian Hoeneß. Yes I Googled his name and copy and pasted it. The man got this team into the Champions League, a massive achievement for this club. A brilliant mind like that surely warrants a payday. Please don't let him get poached by Bayern.
Bayern Munich: An absolutely appalling season by the standards set in previous regimes. You have to understand, though. This Bayern was COOKED from the start. Thomas Tuchel bitched and moaned about Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka's uselessness in a double pivot. He wanted a new No. 6. In the end, the Bayern board decided to use all their transfer funds on Harry Kane. The ROI on that move has been as advertised, with Kane only posting his best statistical season ever. The downside: Bayern went trophyless. You are reading that correctly. Not only that, they finished 3rd. Tuchel beefed with key players like Matthjs de Ligt and Kim Minjae. Injuries to guys like Gnabry and Coman also crippled the depth. Leroy Sane proved to be good strictly in the Champions League. Alphonso Davies was great but non-committal on his future in Munich. Eric Dier was brought in on loan and became a critical player in the second half of the season. Yes, that Eric Dier. It's now Kingsley Coman's first season without a league title since 2014. The Champions League could've been great, had it not been been for some fishy calls made in Real Madrid's favor in the semis, but it was not an elite team. Now they must truly rebuild, and first step is finding Tuchel's replacement. Which...nobody seems too keen on taking this job. The expectations are too high, and the rebuild is just too massive. You feel stupid for sacking Julian Nagelsmann now?
RB Leipzig: It was a growing year for the Red Bulls after bringing in so many new faces. Xavi Simons, Lois Openda, and Benjamin Sesko certainly excite but they are highly inconsistent. Openda still posted 24 goals across the season, with Sesko adding 14. Simons with 11 asissts was massive. Defensively, they were much more sound. Willy Orban managed to lock down the backline, finally. Mohamed Siamakan took large strides forward. Benjamin Heinrichs cemented himself as one of the lowkey ballers in Europe. The problem still remains doing it for longer. They were constantly hovering between 5th and 4th this season, and luckily results picked up at the back-end of the season to cement another season of European football. Marco Rose bought himself another season, where hopefully he will be able to shape the team to his liking. Stalwarts like Dani Olmo and Youssef Poulson might be moved on to generate funds. Leipzig clearly has ambitions now that the Bayern monopoly is on life support.
Dortmund: This team is a goddam headache. What the hell do you mean they made the Champions League Final and beat PSG convincingly to get there? Dortmund did that indeed. Their league form has been absolutely mid. They can string together some results but clearly lack the guile necessary to mount a title challenge. Or even a Pokal contention. But this is the current holder of the Vibes FC badge. Julian Brandt was the driving force of this team. He only had 15 goal involvements all season, but his passing was critical to set up the play. Niklas Fullkrug capitalized on his newfound status as the leader at the top. Gregor Kobel backstopped an otherwise leaky defense made up of aging Mats Hummels and the fat version of Niklas Sule. Jadon Sancho got exiled from Manchester United and came home. He wasn't the 20 and 20 player but he showed glimpses. Karim Adeyemi also took massive strides forward. Other standouts include Jamie Bynoe-Gittens becoming the next English player to develop abroad. Even if you don't win the UCL final, you managed to get Germany the 5th UCL qualifying spot.
Eintracht Frankfurt: Frankfurt's problems can boil down to a very simple reason: no real replacements. They lost Kolo Muani, Lindstrom, N'Dicka, and Kamada all in one summer window. The biggest loss was Oliver Glasner stepping down last year. Yet, they managed to get back into Europa League. Omar Marmoush only potted 12 goals across the season. The rest of it came down to collective effort. Ansgar Knauff showed some potential but is still too raw. Mario Gotze is still here and was already slowing down last year. This campaign all but confirmed it. Robin Koch fled the relegation of Leeds United to return to the German national team as their lead defender and a national team call-up. Kevin Trapp is still managing to keep himself under the radar but was still important for Frankfurt's fortunes. Dino Toppmöller deserves praise for this coaching job. Now the question will be is can he do it again?
Hoffenheim: Congrats, boys, you're going back to Europe. The Conference League should be an ample test of your mettle and growth as a club. But who are we kidding? For those who don't know, Hoffeheim are one of the few German clubs that benefit from a wealthy owner. 50+1 always has loopholes, and Deitmar Hopp has been willing to spend to get his club back into the big time. It hasn't worked to the extent some might hope, but it is indeed progress. A 32-year-old Andrej Kramaric was one of their standout players, and a mentor for young striker Max Beier. Both posted 14-goal seasons, enough to carry Hoffenheim up the table. USMNT fans got to watch the John Brooks redemption story. There were times where this team was outclassed by lesser opponents, though. Doesn't spell good for the next season.
Heidenheim: Bayer Leverkusen were the feel-good story of the season, but honorable mention goes to Heidenheim. Winning both the 3rd and 2nd division title is nice and all, but the Bundesliga is not the lower tiers. It's all good, though. A solid mix of German vets and young players created a hungry squad with a point to prove. Most would say a 2. Bundesliga club should focus solely on survival. Heidenheim said fuck that, let's shoot for a European spot. They just barely missed out but this is a massive step forward. Please for the love of all that is holy capitalize on the moment.
Werder Bremen: The club image restoration campaign continues. Werder is a former Bundesliga champion that has dropped to such a low they were in the 2. Liga just a few seasons ago. Since then they had relied on Niklas Fullkrug to carry them to survival. This latest finish is a massive improvement. Now without Fullkrug, they are carried by a rag tag group of German, Danish, Belgian, and American players. Ninth place will at least be a building block to getting back to cultural and football relevance. I wouldn't expect them to suddenly be a contender, though.
Freiburg: Christian Streich is usually applauded for the work he has done to keep Freiburg afloat in the top flight. This was another fruitful season, even if it seems anti-climatic. They had multiple players put 7 goals or more. Vincenzo Grifo was the top scorer, a midfielder, but added 8 helpers in addition. What more is there to say? The club is still fighting for its return to European competition after a pretty brutal time in the Europa gulag. Congrats, boys, you are now the West Ham of Germany.
Augsburg: Sorry you had to be Leverkusen's whipping boys on the final matchday, but someone had to be sacrificed for the Invincible run. Augsburg should feel lucky they finished 11th. 15 losses usually spells trouble, but they were rescued by clutch scoring from Ermedin Demirovic. It's better than previous seasons but don't you feel just a little bad about getting rid of Ricardo Pepi now? He won the Dutch league title with PSV. I don't know, you could've used him.
Wolfsburg: You know how Tree says "Detroit channeled a rear-ended Pinto?" Wolfsburg channeled a rear-ended Golf. It was an incredibly hot-and-cold season, which I guess should be expected when you employ Ralph Hassenhuttl as your manager. Yes, that Ralph Hassenhuttl, the man singlehandedly responsible for Southampton's relegation. Nico Kovacs was steering the ship into the abyss, and was promptly canned at the right moment. Replacing him with Ralph didn't improve anything. One day Wolfsburg would do something cool like beat Leipzig. The next they would lose to Union Berlin. Last season, Wolfsburg was just a few points outside a European spot. Now you've entered hell: mid-table.
Mainz: Bo Henriksen is at least trying to build something at Mainz. It was clearly not going to be easy. When you lose 4-1 to Union Berlin on the second matchday, that spells trouble. They did managed to get some decent results, but they were Bayern's punching ball one March day. 8-1...fucking hell (stoppppp! he's already dead!!). You managed to avoid the drop so I guess that's progress. You have an exciting young forward in Jonathan Berkhardt, and decent defensive stability with Sepp van de Berg and Philip Mwene. Don't get too excited, you have a long way to go before you're back at the big kids table.
Gladbach: There was a time when Gladbach were punching into European football. It's not this season, because this was a dumpster fire. Had Mainz not collected one more draw, Gladbach would've finished higher on goal difference. Which is -11...woof. The team lacked any defensive cohesion, and could barely string together a good run of form. Most times they had to keep rescuing themselves in squeaky bum time. USMNT fans won't want to hear it but Jordan Pefok and Joe Scally are not beating the mid allegations. Pefok only scored 5 goals. Scally still doesn't look like a legitimate starting right back. The legend of Julian Wiegl continues as he amassed ten yellow cards in a single season. They're a pretty young team so there is time to improve, but this is a real mess.
Union Berlin: The curse of the Champions League struck Union Berlin with a fiery vengeance. It is not unfair to say they were incredibly underprepared for the gauntlet that is elite European football. Almost all of the moves they made backfired. Bringing in Leonardo Bonucci for UCL experience only to find he was washed. He got exiled to the Turkish league for his fraudulent crimes. Brenden Aaronson was loaned in after he too fled relegation of Leeds United. He put up 4 goal involvements in one season...Medford Messi my ass. Roben Gosens was somehow the top scorer. He's a fullback. The honeymoon is over. It really took them until the final matchday to survive. That late penalty against Freiburg saved them for the drop. Good, you survived. Now don't fall off like that again. Your fans can be incredibly proud of you, considering you look way better than Hertha.
Bochum: Yea about what you expect with this club. They're a German yo-yo club. Yes, they do indeed exist. Sure, they still have a chance to stay up with pro-rel playoff coming up, but I don't expect much ever. Take your annual triumph over Bayern and get the fuck out. Getting absolutely bodied by Leverkusen to cement their title was a courtesy to you. Don't lose that playoff.
FC Koln: You guys fucking suck. I thought for sure Koln would at least put up more of a fight after getting promoted last season. Only collecting five wins?? FIVE? This is a goddam travesty playing out in real time. Yo-yo club status cemented. Given what I saw you'd be lucky to get back in to the top flight after this season.
Darmstadt: Darmstadt had two major problems that hindered their season. They couldn't defend, and they couldn't score. Double whammy if you ask me. Somehow you make teams look like Real Madrid. You got some wins over your relegation rivals. Take what you can, I guess. I think the 2. Liga is probably more your speed, though.

2024.05.22 00:01 TheQnzFund Dads in debt - options?

Dad (62M) has been depressed last 6 months. Terrible disease and bout of depression for him. Long story short, he recently opened up that his mental illness is financially driven. As his son (26M) I’m looking to get in touch with the right person to figure out what we can do. I’m an engineer and have no experience dealing with this situation. Let me know what you think or who you think we can reach out to.
Also interested to know, if you have the experience, if this is something you think we can manage without defaulting/losing our house
Rough numbers (HCOL area): Dads income - 135k/yr - $6800/mo My income - 110k/yr - $5600/mo
Monthly bills (including mortgage, minimum credit card payments) - $8,300
Debt Home - 450k - 3.1k/mo Credit cards - 70k Student loans - 10k (mine) Utility - 7k
Savings 401k (dad) - 180k Bank (dad) - 26k Bank (me) - 30k
Again, looking for general advice, thinking about calling a debt consolidator to help us make a plan.
Thanks in advance.

One of my closest friends Sweta called me from the Shivapuri National Park near Kathmandu and put me on speaker. Two other friends Mona and Ayush were listening to the WhatsApp call.
How’s it going with Bhansu?’ Sweta asked.
We are not working together anymore,’ I said.
Whaaaaaaaat?’ the three people shrieked, creating a wavy disturbance in audio frequency.
Whyyyyy?’ they cried, collectively anguished.
He said he is not feeling the vibes.’
What?’
Vibes,’ I said aloud, causing a seismic tremor in the audio frequency.
What vibes?’ Sweta jibed, ‘Maybe he can’t feel the vibrator.
Laughter upped the vibes.
First, a little context on how I got that far. Check this, this, this & this.
So my tweets were going viral in February-March.
In the second week of March, a woman DM’d me saying she loves the tweets. I said thank you. She said she works at Bhansali Productions.
Whoopsie Daisy!
I asked if I could be a part of the production. She checked with SLB and team. He said he wants to meet now.
NOW!
How?
I was in Calcutta.
I called an actor friend in Bombay and told him about it.
They will book your tickets and put you up in 5-star,” he said, “Like Hollywood.
This is Bhansaliwood,” I said, “Yahan dhanda hamesha manda hai.
I flew (on my own expense) and met him.
I was ‘prepared’ by his team for the meeting with His High and Mightiness.
I was told:
Arre, then what do I say?
I sashayed in a brown kurta and white linen trousers. Please see Madhuri Dixit-Nene’s brown ghagra for aesthetic reference I used from my very limited wardrobe of the only kurta I had at the time. By the way, the chorus sings ‘Jhanak Jhanak Payal Baaje,’ aesthetically referencing you know what, right?
He was lunching with his minions (strictly calling them minions from his pov) when I arrived in his pristine white dining hall in a building called Magnum Opus. Where else should he reside, no? Both his house, and his office (where I was ‘prepared’ earlier) were tastefully done in creamy white.
It was, as I said to my friend later, like walking into a cumulus cloud, or like sitting on his favourite singer Lata Mangeshkar’s lap. Calm, serene and quite surreal. I was inside his snow globe. Violins from a Bach concerto (in my head) were replaced with say Madan Mohan’s doleful rendition of ‘Mai ri main ka se kahoon peedh apne jiya ki.’ (Side effect of writing this on Mother’s Day.)
I look for books when I enter a house for signs of intelligent life. There were lots of lamps and candelabras but where were the stacks of books they were perched on? The aesthetic was high on film set disposable kitsch. I stared into a cumulative void.
The minions were intensely debating Darjeeling momos. What’s that? I spent my childhood there. Never heard of this GI tag!
SLB relished his meal and said, “I want puranpoli today.
Puranpoli appeared not out of thin air, but a house-help flipping wishes instantly on a griddle on the fifth floor. We were on the first floor. Although the puranpoli is shaped like a flying saucer, it doesn’t fly, perhaps burdened by the weight of excess ghee and crowd-pleasing expectation. It does, however, reach SLB’s plate at the speed of light.
Give him some,’ he asked a minion to serve me while I waited on the sofa.
I’ve had lunch, thank you,’ I said, trying to behave. The plate arrived. I took a mousy bite to exhibit my failing attempt to transform into a champion minion.
When he came to chat, he noticed the unfinished food and gently reminded me how there were days he went hungry. I should have rolled my eyes for my own lean days.
One should not waste food,’ he said.
I don’t,’ I said, ‘I was going to parcel it home in a doggy bag.
Hearing the word doggy, his well-behaved dog came over to inspect me.
He observed me. I petted her perfunctorily. Am a cat person. Stereotypical writer stuff — allergic to undesired petting and attention.
So, what have you done?’ he asked, sitting on a sort of empire-style bergere chair. Full marks for faux-ornate.
A novel, some writing for a series,’ I said nervously, dismissively.
Anything I might have seen?’ he asked.
No, not worthwhile.’
Are you interested in direction also?
No, am not delusional.
A moment passed. I might have displayed an errant repartee.
I mean, I can only write, or am trying to,’ I said. L’esprit de l’escalier.
He gave me a spiel on writing, how screenplay is an art not many understand, etc, et cetera.
I nodded to make his voice disappear.
What are you writing now?
I showed him the cover of my new book, The Last Courtesan, featuring my mother, on my phone.
Oh, this is so fascinating,’ he said.
He spoke rapturously about Calcutta’s great food and colonial architecture when I mentioned growing up in Bowbazar kothas. If you watch any of his interviews now on YouTube you will realise he only speaks in raptures. He’s always explaining things like an impassioned conductor at a dime-store opera. It can exhaust the boorish audience immediately. He spoke about living in the Kamathipura area as a child when I said I had lived there. The mythmaker was interested in exoticising his own legend as an ‘outsider’.
But how will you work here if your mother is in Calcutta?’ he said, ‘I am a maa-ka-bhakt.
Everything is about him or his mother. I have reached that stage too, though only by circumstances unavoidable.
Actually it was my mother who asked me to come here. I told her it would only work out if you understand that I will have to vacillate between the two cities initially. Jaise Sanjay ki Leela hai, waise meri Rekha.
Corny dialogue, but worked. No one calls him by his first name, except perhaps his own mother. He is sir for everyone.
If I am speaking to you for so long means I like you,’ he said. ‘Otherwise, I would have asked you to leave long ago.’
Barely five minutes into the conversation, he asked me to return to his office and inform his team that I was going to be a part of his writer’s room.
I went back to his office and read a script. This is the part I cannot mention. His legal team sits in the adjacent room.
I flew to Calcutta and was to return after a week. I had to make arrangements for my mother’s tri-weekly dialysis sessions at a nearby hospital, figure out a tiffin-delivery service for her, find a house help (she sent four nurses scurrying in the past), all of which is a bit of a task in this retrograde city.
Remember the woman who had DM’d me about my tweets? She messaged. She had met SLB after my meeting. He said this about me: ‘What a wonderful find. That boy has so much potential and is talented. Most importantly, he is sensitive.’
I told her I’d get this engraved on my tombstone.
Like how he wants to take Alia Bhatt’s golchakkar in Dholida to his grave.
It’s a shot that I will take to my grave. If there’s any shot that I want to be played when I breathe my last, it would be Alia doing that shot. It is the best thing I have seen an actor do in a very long, long time.
I was only emulating the high priest of hyperbole in my tombstone comment. Perhaps I was regressing into a minion.
I had only managed a few tasks for mother when I was back in Bombay. It worried me that the old, frail woman with shaky limbs and slurred speech was trying to be brave to send me to work. I hadn’t worked since the pandemic; she was in and out of hospitals so frequently that I had surrendered the thought of getting another job ever again. Taking care of her was my full-time job.
The first day in his office was to chill in my new, aesthetically pleasing kurta I had shopped for in Gariahat. There was a security camera in every corner that was apparently accessible on his phone. My skin tingled with this information. Chilled. He was at home. Probably watching. That’s a great way to create a myth.
The next day, there were more minions on the lunch table in his first floor apartment. The magically appearing steamy and fragrant sheera was delicious. A minion deemed it the best sheera in the city. I nodded to make that statement evaporate.
A courier boy interrupted for a document signature. SLB flared at a spelling mistake in the document papers.
Go wash your face and come back,’ he yelled at the young man.
The minions at the table laughed nervously. I so wished I was wearing a mask to cover my surprise emoji face.
The minions on the table were writers and assistant directors.
Dastavez,’ SLB said, ‘would that be correct to use?’
Kaaghzaat,’ the minion replied.
Kaaghzaat is paper, dastavez is document,’ said the second minion.
You always mislead me,’ SLB sternly reprimanded the first minion. ‘Don’t ever do that again.
Only that minion tried to laugh, offering an apology. He shut the minion down.
My mask, my mask emoji face.
A third minion was sulking in a corner before I arrived for the writing session. This minion had reportedly offered a script suggestion, which he disliked and barked down. I liked this minion the most. Relatable.
A faint noise of a person running or perhaps just a rumbling sound from somewhere outside interrupted the room. He looked up at the ceiling and said, ‘No one lives there. Am certain it is a ghost. I hear running sounds all the time. I have heard sounds of furniture being dragged.
I wondered if he actually believed in half the things he uttered, or was he just saying it to create enigma about himself. Mythical thoughts certainly kept him preoccupied.
Reality bored him. SLB had nothing good to say about the ‘current plague’ of South Indian films upsetting the Bollywood cartel. He compared them to a circus. He wasn’t kind to the actors he had worked with in his last film. He cracked lame jokes about everyone and everything. The minions laughed and kept him busy. I chuckled a few times to blend in. The mythmaker revelled in his prophesies about the impending doom of charlatans with no aesthetics: just crass, commercial peddlers pimping art. It was all said to amuse and bemuse while he fussed over the yellow shade of fabric from several swatches.
When he left for his music session, the minions bitched him out, and how! All the horror stories I had heard over the years about his moods, behaviour, language and violent temper were true. How else will he create myth about himself as a maestro? The Glomar response. Let the plebs indulge in hearsay. I will neither confirm nor deny. The minions sang effigy songs in happy tunes, if I may stretch this part a bit like his penchant for high camp.
That night, when I went to my actor friend’s house, where I was temporarily staying, I said to him, ‘I don’t think I will last a week there.
I was rattled by how he spoke to the courier boy and the minions, with no filter. Well, at least it was clear he had no tact, endearing as that might be of a ‘genius’ if one compromises with his erratic behaviour. The CEO of his company does it beautifully and advises to develop a ‘thick hide’ around him. Cows, essentially.
Verve
The words genius, great, master, maverick, were so loosely bandied by his office staff even in his absence that I was tempted to add auteur, if they could spell or pronounce it. They worked in perpetual fear of him turning up at any hour and checking on their tidiness. A minion whined she wasn’t dressed appropriately for his surprise visit. Once, he even cut pay for unscheduled leave, said another minion. A minion narrated a shot he copied from a photographer in Gangubai Kathiawadi. Another minion recounted how he made her cry on shoot by screaming at her for a silly mistake. Minions couldn’t leave the office till his evenings were scheduled. It was a well-paying job so long as they did not have to see ‘chacha’s’ face and only applaud his cinematic sorcery.
His office team would assign me desk-work and warn me not to inform him about it.
What am I supposed to say if he asks?
Make up something,’ I was told.
Why should I?
You will slowly understand,’ I was told.
His team of assistants would sneak around me. I didn’t know who was reporting what back to him. He would interrogate the management team. They would lash out at me for informing the assistants. The management wanted to control me a certain way because ‘sir’ does not need to know everything. It was quite a guessing game. He had created an ecosystem of complete chaos and loved the hubbub. New people were hired for him to use the ‘new energy’ to rekindle the ‘old energy’ that needed to be reminded it could be snuffed out and replaced. He thrived on confusion because it all boiled down to him to sort out the mess. He was the provider so long as the minions ingratiated and served their grand master.
One time he called me upstairs, what his CEO called the god’s chamber aka the Shahenshah’s durbar: his office on the seventh floor. Walls were lined with giant posters of his films. We minions sat on the fifth floor. I was of course by now a week old in the toady mill. On the seventh floor, production team members, set designer, director assistant, young people sat on the floor, armed with notebooks and laptops, alert and sugar-tongued. He sat on a throne and dictated each one about their duty. A masseur massaged his leg. He asked me what I thought of a script. I said it was lovely. He asked me to elaborate. I said I liked a character’s resolve. He denied it was written. I said that’s my interpretation. A minion promptly backed me.
What changes do you suggest?’ he asked.
We should sit on it collectively and decide,’ I said.
He mumbled something. My suggestion was dismissed. I was dismissed. I bowed out. A minion whispered to me, ‘We all walk on eggshells around him.’ I had to be a chicken in a coop I suppose.
Another time he dismissed my suggestion for a scene saying, ‘That’s not how art is made.’ I had referenced a scene from Bandit Queen to illustrate my point. Just like his entire oeuvre is homage to a classic. How else does he make his art?
Allow me to illustrate with a frame from his first film Khamoshi: The Musical. The second image is from Pakeezah.
Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam references Red Beard, Woh 7 Din.
Devdas references Pakeezah more than once.
Black references The Miracle Worker.
Saawariya references Pyaasa, Awaara.
Guzaarish references Whose Life Is It Anyway?
Goliyon Ki Raasleela: Ram-Leela references Franco Zeffirelli’s Romeo and Juliet, West Side Story.
Bajirao Mastani references Mughal-E-Azam.
Padmaavat references Mirch Masala.
Gangubai Kathiawadi, let’s give him the benefit of doubt is all his own, original artistry.
The American filmmaker Jim Jarmusch once meta quoted the French filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard when he said:
Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery — celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from — it’s where you take them to.
SLB believes he takes art and betters it, removing the grubby coat of slime from the sublime, often not concerned with acknowledging the source. He is a master’s master, elevating it to an otherworldly experience, the creator of a mythoverse.
He asked me to rewrite a scene I didn’t agree with. He banged the script folders on the table like a petulant, little child. I watched his posture change into a frump. Tiger Shroff’s ‘Bacchi ho kya,’ dialogue comes to mind.
You are talking like those critics who find fault but don’t know how to write. They should write the film,’ he said.
That argument will never make sense to me but since I write movies now and not just about them, I rewrote the scene in half an hour and showed it to him. He found it rubbish.
I was not called to the writer’s room for a week.
His CEO said I should go to his house; hang around him, like the other assistants whose only purpose in life is to feed his ego. We are slaves to his vision, she said. She thought I was a better writer than the team he had assembled. ‘From whatever I read, only three lines of your work on social media, I could sense it,’ she said.
Either she was encouraging, or bluffing with a perfectly Zen face. From the hundreds of Ganesh idols stacked in her room, it was clear she wasn’t a reader. She was good at reading numbers, data, and stats. She would sense a sign if one of the metal idols sucked milk from a spoon on the day she enquired about box –office figures.
There was more than one right-wing hardliner in his office. Secular staff was invisible. A pretty minion in baby pink t-shirt, whose main grouse was that another minion called him a Barbie doll, said he was happy with the Modi government building roads in his home state Bihar. Another minion countered him by asking: What about the persecution of minorities by the same government? The pretty minion said he didn’t care for that. He was assisting ‘sir’ because he wanted to be an actor. Which lead me to wonder how many Muslim actors has this production worked with? Silly of me to think, right? Given that I myself don’t use my Muslim surname. I’ve now successfully planted a myth in your head. That’s how it works.
In the time that I was in Versova during my brief stint at Bhansali Productions, I met several people with their own SLB horror story. A producer said, ‘He is a difficult man but life changes for good after you work with him. Some people want to go through hell first. Life bann jaati hai.’ I didn’t understand why purgatory was necessary. Another former assistant said, ‘When you work with the worst (SLB) and the best (KJO), you are ready for the rest.
A young woman gave him a thesis she wrote on his films. He asked her to write a book on her. She said she wanted to assist as a director. She never heard from him. A filmmaker said SLB was too friendly with another assistant, suggesting intimacy. A writer wasn’t given credit in a film.
Another writer was promised his script will be turned into a film but it never took off and now he feels his life has been ruined. A young filmmaker’s debut movie SLB produced was delayed, not promoted, and called ‘kachra’ to his face.
The young man said SLB is sexist, homophobe, classist, fat shamer, emotional abuser, and a body shamer. “He is a joyless pit of darkness where happiness goes to die. And those are the nicest words I can think of to describe him,” he said. Another filmmaker said a choreographer was in a relationship with SLB and wanted to marry him but he wouldn’t even touch her, a hotly discussed conversation amongst his minions.
Everything sounds hokum. A successful man is likely to upset a few. The few will talk. Their words may ring true through a gossamer veil of implausibility. Myths magnifying his persona.
There are too many myths about his personal life, aroused by his silence on the subject but all too obvious in his work. When people want to confirm with me, I am equally appalled at their lack of aesthetics. Like the great reader of curtains, Edgar Allan Poe, you only have to look at SLB’s use of billowy curtains in films to guess.
Above stanza, courtesy Poe, poem: The Raven.
Hope you get the drift, or draft, hawa ka jhonka! By the way, am digressing now, is the weirdly named character Sameer Rosselline in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam the first mainstream Hindi film hero to pass wind? The ruffled curtains are first to be cautioned though.
Unlike most people willing to swallow their pride to work with SLB, few like the eponymous Gangubai character choose izzat. The house-help employed in my actor friend’s house was asked to work as a cook in his house. When she heard the whimsy, dessert-craving demands, she declined the offer. I identify with her no-nonsense style.
In November 2021, a filmmaker read a film script I wrote and said, ‘This is SLB territory. Only he can make it. It is the modern love-story he has been wanting to make for a long time.
Are you sure?’ I asked, somewhat flattered but also bewildered.
Yes, we just have to change the setting from Calcutta-Bombay to Calcutta-New York. It is what he has been trying to crack. I’ll get him to read it.
I never spoke to SLB about my script. I did not want to look like a schemer. I had only got a chance because of my mother’s story. I had come to write courtesan songs. Hindi films are recognised by their songs. His films have show tunes that live on long after the sequins and mirrors reflect a decadent style. He employs the old-fashioned method of making Hindi films, which is to stitch scenes around a song, not the other way round. And when you glean your references from the best of classical melodies, how can you falter?
My own SLB story is that after watching Saawariya in 2007, I wrote a few songs, moved to Bombay, lived in Versova, close to Magnum Opus, and hoped to meet him, but made no effort even though I came in close contact with people who worked directly with him. I never requested for a meeting. Over the years, I too had heard a few horror stories about him. I only believe in what I see. I waited when he would call for me, my work would have to speak for itself.
A day before Good Friday, his CEO sat me down and said it’s not working out.
There’s a mythical story of how Lata Mangeshkar was on her way to record a song for SLB but the heavens poured and she had to turn her car back. A typical SLB frame of hope and hopelessness.
Never work with your idols. You’ll have a better story to imagine and create myths.
I was so relieved to leave. I hadn’t got a moment to read, or write, let alone think since I got here. Why I wanted to work with SLB was to not believe in hearsay. I will either confirm or deny.
Great,’ I said, ‘everyone deserves an off on Good Friday.
The office was unsure about public holidays. SLB’s mood dictated the calendar.
Before returning to Calcutta, I met a friend entrenched in the film business.
When she heard of the fiasco, she said, ‘I’ve heard he is very anal, is he?
The vibrator jokes never stop.

2024.05.22 00:01 greenerpickings Approved for CFF after Recon

Hi all, just wanted to add my data point.
Credit Score: 750 FICO Experian
Cards @ credit limit:
Applied for a CFF at the beginning of May and was denied due to too many recent accounts and high credit limit for my income. Called the recon line (888-270-2127) and was approved. They asked the following questions:
  1. confirm income (gave me my income, and I confirmed)
  2. source of income (employment)
  3. how long I've been employed (7 years; I assume they meant at my current job and current source of income)
  4. reason (for points)
Approved, but I had to transfer $2k from another card due to my limit vs income.
Also, another note, I have tried calling the recon line since the week after (as per the 7-10 business day message). When asked if I was referring to a recent application, I kept pressing 1 to confirm and kept getting the "we are working on it" message. Pressed 2 this time around and it went straight to an agent.
Edit: Formatting

2024.05.22 00:00 Dr-ThrowawayAccount Options for addressing billing issues when terrified of bosses?

TL;DR: What are my options to finding claim details not in my EHR without having to involve my boss when I don't have clearinghouse access?
This is gonna be long because I don't really have another outlet to vent about this OR ask my practical question. Buckle up and thanks for reading!
Context:
I am working in a group practice. Despite being in the field for over a decade, this is my first time providing services for a fee and dealing with anything billing or insurance related. The practice is run by two owners, let's call them "Sarah" and "Jack." The owners are pleasant enough to deal with 98% of the time, however, they are known for being hot-headed and possibly even verbally abusive. This has been cited by several employees who have left and I have experienced degrees of it myself. To make matters worse, they are VERY private and protective over anything related to the behind the scenes of running their business, which is somewhat understandable. I've been told this started when past former employees took information/resources/clients provided by the company and started their own competing company (though this is hearsay since I didn't work for them at the time). But because this is all very new for me, sometimes I have had questions or made well-intentioned efforts to advocate for my clients that unfortunately have been met with defensiveness, suspiciousness, and variations of "stay in your lane" (a phrasing my boss knows for a fact is particularly triggering for me). So I now find myself having palpable anxiety reactions at the thought of angering them with during conversations.**
It will also be helpful to know that the bulk of the employee turnover has been in the administrative/billing department. In fact, in the 18 months I have worked for the company we have had 3 separate billers, with Sarah & Jack filling in during interims.
Current Situation:
There have been some issues with employees having discrepancies with paychecks/taxes. We are paid our (fair and reasonable percentage) of session fees biweekly "in arrears" (aka once insurance pays). I have been lax in tracking all this and decided to sit down and go through my records as I prepare my taxes (I filed an extension lol). This personal accounting tracking has essentially involved me looking in our EHR (Simple Practice) at key pieces of information: 1) Session dates for the past year for each client, 2) Whether those claims were submitted to insurance vs Self Pay, 3) When the session was paid by insurance (and associated claim #s), 4) The amount paid, and 5) whether that correct amount showed up in the right biweekly paycheck.
In working through this process I have come across several client charts where I cannot go through this tracking for one of several reasons. For most of these the issue is that sessions are marked as "paid" and an amount is listed and there are associated claim #s & clearinghouse references; however, the claim details unable to be viewed. This means for these claims/charts I cannot see the date they were paid in order to figure out which paycheck they belong on to verify I am not missing any fees I was expected to be paid. I have also identified a few sessions that were billed incorrectly (either sent to insurance when shouldn't be or charged full fee to client when they shouldn't be). There are also a few where the amount I was listed as having been paid doesn't match the contract rate but I cannot verify why without any claim details.
I want to be clear that my first thought is that these are honest errors and the issue has a lot to do with too many different billers with different way of processing things AND my limited access as a non biller or administrator in the EHR system.
Dilemma and Complications:
I have tried looking in Simple Practice at everything I can see and there is just missing info no matter how I slice it. Months ago I tried requesting access to Availity but the biller at the time denied that, so I do no have clearinghouse access and don't anticipate Sarah & Jack would be open to giving me any. As much as I can't afford the time to do so, I figured maybe I have to call the insurance companies about each of the claims... But my first attempt at reaching out to BCBS was a bust since I couldn't reach a provider services agent and the member services agent couldn't give me much info, just could "verify" what I asked her (i.e. was claim from 5/1 paid out for $100?). So that doesn't help because the main info I need is the payment date and they couldn't give it to me.
So I tried reaching out to the company's current biller (who overall I like) to see if we could have a phone meeting to review these charts. My thought process was that she would have access to the needed info OR insight as to why it might not be available. But she forwarded the message to Sarah & Jack who asked I deal with them directly about it. The exact response was "Please tell me who you need clarity on so I can look at the charts and we can meet after I have had a chance to review." I know this seems innocuous...but...I am TERRIFIED to do this! For one thing, any prior discussions about possible billing issues have been poorly received. Furthermore, I have already sent emails to Sarah & Jack about some of these billing errors closer to the dates of service, so I fully anticipate they will be defensive if I point out they were not addressed/corrected. I know it is irrational but a part of me feels betrayed by the biller and as if I was "fed to the wolves."
Maybe I am wrong, but I feel like the information I am asking for should be accessible to me as the provider of the service and whose NPI number was used for billing. I am fully aware that some of why I can't see the needed info on my own may be due simply to technology or innocent past mistakes...but I worry Sarah & Jack will not see it this way or understand I am not intentionally searching for errors for malicious or litigious reasons. Honestly, I don't even care about the timing of the payments...I am just trying to do personal finance accounting to make sure I am "whole" for the past year.
So allllll that is to say.....is there any option for info access I haven't considered? Is avoiding Sarah and Jack worth the time to try and keep contacting the insurance companies? If I do have to go through Sarah and Jack, any advice on how to present this info to reduce blow back/anger?
** P.S. I know I can/should quit and that this is not an appropriate way to run a business or treat employees. But I am not in a position to leave at this time. So I am trying to find the best way to navigate the current circumstances until I am able to leave.
***P.S.S. Please be kind. I already feel weak, stupid and shameful for being in this situation. I know I should have dealt with it sooner and that I am a grown ass competent professional who shouldn't be feeling this fearful in a professional situation like this. But here we are.

2024.05.22 00:00 North-Cheesecake9923 Having to undergo financial check for new job but unsure about address history

I need some advice regarding a financial background check required for my new job.
All my official documents (electoral roll, bank, HMRC, etc.) are registered at my parents' home, my permanent address, even when I was at university. After uni, I moved in with my brother and his girlfriend for a year before starting my master’s and then the new job. We've moved twice due to lease changes. While living with them, I updated my HMRC and one bank account to my current address to match work records. I’m not on the lease, council tax, or electoral roll at my brother’s address, but I do pay rent to him.
For my job's financial check, I need to provide address history. I’m concerned about ensuring the credit report matches the details I provide. I made an Experian account, listing my current address for the past three years, which shows my parents' address as my permanent one and my current address with my brother. This is because I gave them this information so that they can’t generate a report. No linked addresses appeared. Not even my parents and I do have a credit card issues at my parents address as it’s my permanent address.
I haven't pulled reports from the other credit agencies yet. Should I only list my parents' address? What if they ask for proof? The only documents I have with my current address are bank statements.
By the time the background checks are done, I’ll have moved back with my parents for 6-8 months.
What should I include in my address history to avoid issues, and what proof should I provide?

2024.05.21 23:59 Idkyou999 Told my dentist I would pay after getting my EOB and they threatened to call the cops for $120. Is this normal?

I’m new to the area and just started seeing a local dentist. Yesterday the dentist gave me an estimated amount due after the dental work was completed.
Like I usually do, I said I’d pay my amount due after getting my EOB, since the EOB states exactly what I owe and is not an estimate. This is typical when you have good insurance through your employer and I’ve never had an issue doing things this way before.
However, this dentist (NEW ENGLAND DENTAL DANBURY) told me that they can’t let me leave until I pay “something”.
After going back and forth I was told by the office staff that they have to call their manager before they can let me leave. I was totally freaked out at this point and just walked the hell out of there after I told them they can’t stop me from leaving and to just send me the damn bill.
Today I get a call from their manager, some idiot named Nomi and I tell him how rude and unprofessional the staff was to try and hold me hostage over $120 bucks after the work was already done and I had follow up work to be completed.
He told me that although the process I explained to him was the law and standard in most medical cases under $5000, the guy said his office doesn’t have to follow the law ….wtf?!?
Then he started threatening me saying he will call the cops on me, send my information to the “credit companies” and that his office will let my employer know that I’m stealing because they have my employers info through my insurance (his exact words).
I’m gonna follow up with the BBB and Deartment of Public Health but I’m also curious, has anyone had a similar experience with this dental office or in CT in general?
I’m still in shock over the whole thing and I’m honestly ready to just go back to driving over an hour each way to my old dentist in Yonkers, NY.
In the meantime, I’m going to keep checking my insurance online to see when the claim gets processed and make a payment then. Sheesh what a crazy experience.
Fuck New England dental in danbury!

2024.05.21 23:59 Looluna714 Would this be reasonable?

My husband and I are starting to get serious about searching for our first home. We want to purchase where we live, which is a VHCOL area (Orange County, Ca). We have 200k+ saved for a down payment, with sizable emergency fund left over (~95k). Would a $5250 PITI be doable? This would allow us to buy a ~810k home.
Gross monthly income: $16,000 Monthly take home pay: $9,300
No student loan debt, car payment, or credit card debt. After my silly calculations for living costs (groceries, utilities, etc), we would be able to save about +$2,500 a month with this $5,250 mortgage payment. What do y’all think? We haven’t gotten a preapproval yet, I’m trying to do my own calculations to see what our absolute maximum buying power would be.

2024.05.21 23:56 figmentyo OIC: How to notate housing expense partner pays for

I'm looking at docs for OIC, and unclear of a few things:
1) GF pays mortgage (in her name), and I pay everything else. If I understand correctly, I'd need to add her income for household, then add the housing expense even though she pays. Is this right?
2) If I instead paid her rent for a few months and split the other bills, would that then establish a household of 1 (me renting a room) where I would then not have to include her income in the calculations? If so, would this be helpful? (I make $37k and she makes around $40k).
3). If our actual housing expense (or any other category of expense) is below the allowable maximum four our area (whatever that is), do we need to claim the actual amount, or are we allowed to claim the max figure? (Also, I see max allowable figures for food and other items, but not for housing. Have I missed this somewhere?)

2024.05.21 23:55 pourthatyouthaway Single people, what are you paying for water?

Received a much higher than expected water bill today from Welsh Water.
76cubic metres from meter readings. £311 for 6 month period. My previous bills were around £150 semiannually. What’s going on?
I live alone in a small one bedroom flat in the Vale. I’m careful about how much water I use, is there anything I can do to make it more affordable?
I don’t have access to the meters. They’re read twice a year I would guess, as it says on my statement.
I pay off the bill in full semiannually because it’s easier for me to put aside the cash when I can instead of paying £50-60 a month. I also had issues with direct debit payments not being credited onto my account and a whole dispute over that, which was resolved.
questions
What are you paying for water? Meter or estimate? Anything you did or can do to lower the bill?

2024.05.21 23:54 novaskyd I played hooky from work today

And I think I learned something.
Idk if this is ADHD or burnout but I have been just checked out lately. I actually love my job, but the past week or so it’s been like pulling teeth trying to focus at work. I’m a software developer, and I’m “junior” but still more senior than a few new devs on the team, and the nature of my workplace is that they are focused on teaching and mentoring the new devs and giving them experience on a wide range of topics, which means I’ve been stuck with a more limited set of chores and frustrating pipeline bullshit and it’s been starting to eat at me.
In addition, I’m out of the house 12 hours a day, and as soon as I get home I have 2 toddlers to care for, dinner and cleaning and then maybe an hour to spend with my husband before bed. Rinse and repeat. He works Saturdays so I’m with the kids all day then too. We get Sunday together. And I NEVER. GET. ONE. DAY. TO. MYSELF. I realized this in therapy the other week and she was like “you need a break” and I was like “I agree.”
I also keep paying the ADHD tax because I have a never ending amount of admin bullshit that I never have the time or energy to do (or remember to do) so it’s like oh yeah, I meant to cancel that subscription, I meant to dispute that charge, etc etc.
The plan was to put in for a day of leave, or just take advantage of the upcoming long weekend… well, apparently my brain and body took matters into their own hands. My kids kept me up last night and I didn’t get much sleep. I dropped them off at daycare this morning and then I got back in my car and instead of heading to work I just… didn’t. I told them I was taking the day off.
And then I went to get myself some gatorade and nail polish from the store. And then I found a bra shop and got myself fitted. And then I got myself some juice and breadsticks. And then I took a quick nap. And then I went to a bead shop. And then I went to Starbucks and got coffee and crafted for a bit.
And THEN. I pulled out my laptop and worked on a gift for a coworker I’d kept forgetting to do. And I took a deep breath and tackled the stressful email I’d been meaning to do to dispute some fees. And then I paid my credit cards and did my budget. ALL THE STRESSFUL THINGS. I actually had the energy and mental space to do them!!!!
I feel like my dopamine meter needed to recharge? Like I needed to do the fun relaxing stuff FIRST so that I could do the stressful stuff. And I never do that, I never have that. I also recently quit drinking so dopamine is an issue in general.
Does anyone else feel like they need to do fun stuff in order to have energy to do hard stuff? This is a revelation for me.
Too bad I can’t afford to just take a day off work every week lmao.
Anyway, now I’m going to go try to deposit some money and go to the post office and maybe get my glasses fixed (they’re loose and I’ve just been dealing with it) before I pick the kids up.
Wishing a recharged dopamine meter on all of you!!

2024.05.21 23:52 ArkOfTheCube Alex Jones IS Bill Hicks

Alex Jones IS Bill Hicks
Why the Bill Hicks is Alex Jones theory needs to be taken seriously
1. Bill Hicks was good friends with his producer, Kevin Booth. Alex Jones is good friends with his producer, Kevin Booth.
2. Same exact hairline.
3. Same exact teeth.
4. They have brown eyes, similar mannerisms, similar outbursts, similar anti-establishment ideology. They smoke cigarettes the same way, by holding it in the middle like a joint.
5. Bill Hicks made a joke about selling an orange drink after calling out elite globalists who use media to keep people stupid. Alex Jones does all that, including selling an orange drink- Tangy Tangerine.
6. In Bill Hicks co-written by Kevin Booth, there was a part where Kevin mentioned that on the way back from Bill Hicks funeral, Bill had appeared sitting shotgun and said that he had done it. He pulled off the world’s biggest joke like it was all a magic trick. Sounds to me like Kevin threw that in there as another form of mockery proving that Bill never died.
7. Bill Hicks said in an interview that he wants to go down routes that aren't mainstream.
8. Alex Jones claims to be 45, but he looks more like 57- the age Hicks would be if he wasn't dead.
9. Bill Hicks did a redneck impression that sounds exactly like Alex Jones. He also did a bit about how he took a big check for a new project and he said "and BOOM, one check I'm Al.., I'm a producer!" as if he almost spilled the beans.
10. Bill Hick's and Alex Jones' work timelines never coincide. Bill Hicks died in 94, and Alex Jones appeared in 97.
11. Yearbook photos and birth/death certificates mean nothing. If a death was faked, the government would have to aid in manipulating those documents. The yearbook photo of Jones looks like any white person. The Yearbook photo of Hicks means nothing- he sold out to the CIA in 1994.
12. Hicks thrived in humor that bashed media, Hollywood and questioned anything mainstream. He was growing in popularity and he was able to make jokes in a smart way that could wake people up. The CIA made him an offer that he couldn't refuse to become the controlled opposition as a character- Hicks was happy to embark a new life as a character and be set for life. Alex Jones' Infowars brings in $50M every year.
13. They have the same moles on their neck, in the same exact place. Bill Hicks had a mole on his left cheek; Alex Jones has a circular scar on his left cheek in the exact same spot.
14. This theory is something that is ridiculed in every community it is presented in. Seems like the work of bots to keep the secret behind the CIA's controlled opposition a secret.
15. They are the same height. When looking at a picture of Kevin Booth and Alex Jones- and of Kevin Booth and Bill Hicks, they are both nearly the same height as Kevin Booth.
16. Bill Hicks last appearance on television was a journalism piece on the Waco Seige. Alex Jones's first appearance on television was a journalism piece on the Waco Seige.
17. Bill Hicks allegedly died at 32 from pancreatic cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, almost all patients are older than 45. About 2/3 are 65 years old. The average age is 70. Bill was less than half the average age.
18. Alex Jones is clearly going “over the top” when being interviewed on mainstream media to make real conspiracy theorists look crazy and unreliable. In a recent court hearing, Alex Jones’ lawyer revealed that he’s “playing a character” and that says to me it’s Bill Hicks playing the character of Alex Jones.
19. People accidentally called Alex Jones, “Bill” on his show a few times. Jerome Corsi, Max Keiser, and Duncan Trusell all slipped up while being interviewed and called Alex, “Bill”.
20. In an interview, Kevin Booth stated that Alex Jones is funnier than Bill Hicks. For a supposed BEST FRIEND of a famous comedian to say that is disrespectful to the legacy of Bill Hicks. If Bill really died of cancer, that never would have happened.
21. Before the Alex Jones is Bill Hicks conspiracy took off, Alex Jones received a plaque honoring Bill Hicks from Kevin Booth. There’s not a shred of evidence proving that Alex and Bill knew each other, so why would Alex Jones be the recipient of a plaque honoring Bill Hicks UNLESS they were doing it as a form of mockery?
22. Alex Jones was on camera looking lean, muscular in 1997 and looked/sounded different than the Alex we know today. Also in 1997, he was pictured looking pudgy and out of shape](https://preview.redd.it/9khxoju091sy.jpg?width=640&auto=webp&s=4553e3029ec58e97a351803f9baba69a226b9ba3).
23. From Kevin Booth, the best friend of Bill Hicks/Alex Jones: "Alex used to sit in front of a star map and I had a hard time putting my finger on exactly what it was that Alex was talking about. I remember the very last time Bill Hicks came to Austin Access (spring of 93) – we were working on a script called "Public Access" about a Rush Limbaugh" type character who angers a viewer and the viewer came to the station and killed the host on the air.

2024.05.21 23:52 NerveTotal5577 My (20M) girlfriend of nearly 2 years (21F) recently broke up with me over an OF link. What do i do now?

So My (20M) almost 2-year GF(21F) were sitting on the couch. She pulled up my phone (she knows all my passcodes) and started looking through my Instagram ‘clicked links’ history, which I could also see. She scrolled for a minute and then found that I had clicked on 3 consecutive Onlyfans Links. I then proceeded to tell her that I get some of those on my page, and so sometimes I click them, not having any ulterior motive or anything like that. She then proceeded to tell me immediately that she was upset and needed some time to think. I obviously understood as she must’ve been hurt by the idea that I was looking at other people. In fact, I wasn’t, and you can’t even see anything without paying.
2 days later, when she asked to give her space, she turned up at my house and said, “That was a dealbreaker”, so now it’s over. She told me she felt “objectified” and “cheated on”. She didn’t even give me a chance to explain or talk anything through. She accused me of paying for it or signing up, but she didn’t want to look at my emails or my bank account statements when I offered. At that moment, I was really flustered, so I didn’t say anything back and just respected her decision.
She has requested no-contact, so for her sake, I’m willing to honour that, but it’s been really difficult for me as I’ve been left with so many questions unanswered. (Was that the only reason? Why couldn’t we talk it through?)
In all honesty, I don’t even remember clicking or looking at a link. I just told her I was curious because I thought owning up to a mistake would be better than just saying I didn’t do it. I would never do anything to harm her. I don’t want to diminish her feelings and how she feels about the situation, but I think it’s a slight overreaction for a two-year relationship.
To make it clear, on the day she broke up with me, I asked if she was thinking about it before this incident or anything, and she replied, “No, this was it”. So I doubt that there was any other reason
As a side note, she found out how to do this through a TikTok video in which a girl broke up with her boyfriend because she found 87 Onlyfans links in his clicked links history.
It’s been a few days and I haven’t been able to wrap my head around it, I would never do anything to try and hurt her, and I’m really regretful as to what I did and I wish I could take it all back. (Although I do think sometimes that I really didn’t do anything - I swear on every living being that day didn’t do anything with that link)
During this time off (about a week), I decided that I wanted to talk to her about it and that this relationship was worth fighting for. I don’t think that this should be the thing to end without at least a conversation to try and remediate it. However, I completely understand that she is still probably in an emotionally heightened state, and so I don't really want to make anything worse. So I'm questioning how long to wait until I talk to her, at least to get some answers. I know that I don't want to say "sorry" as I'm not sure that I did anything wrong, but I also don't want to diminish her feelings towards this topic, as telling her "you're overreacting" might not end well. Not sure what to say, Any advice?
TL;DR: My (20M) girlfriend (21F) of almost two years broke up with me after finding three OnlyFans links in my Instagram clicked links history. She felt objectified and cheated on, even though I didn't pay for or sign up for anything. Despite my offer to show her proof, she requested no contact. I regret the situation and want to fight for the relationship but don't know how or when to approach her. Any advice?

2024.05.21 23:51 ArkOfTheCube Alex Jones IS Bill Hicks

Alex Jones IS Bill Hicks
Why the Bill Hicks is Alex Jones theory needs to be taken seriously
1. Bill Hicks was good friends with his producer, Kevin Booth. Alex Jones is good friends with his producer, Kevin Booth.
2. Same exact hairline.
3. Same exact teeth.
4. They have brown eyes, similar mannerisms, similar outbursts, similar anti-establishment ideology. They smoke cigarettes the same way, by holding it in the middle like a joint.
5. Bill Hicks made a joke about selling an orange drink after calling out elite globalists who use media to keep people stupid. Alex Jones does all that, including selling an orange drink- Tangy Tangerine.
6. In Bill Hicks co-written by Kevin Booth, there was a part where Kevin mentioned that on the way back from Bill Hicks funeral, Bill had appeared sitting shotgun and said that he had done it. He pulled off the world’s biggest joke like it was all a magic trick. Sounds to me like Kevin threw that in there as another form of mockery proving that Bill never died.
7. Bill Hicks said in an interview that he wants to go down routes that aren't mainstream.
8. Alex Jones claims to be 45, but he looks more like 57- the age Hicks would be if he wasn't dead.
9. Bill Hicks did a redneck impression that sounds exactly like Alex Jones. He also did a bit about how he took a big check for a new project and he said "and BOOM, one check I'm Al.., I'm a producer!" as if he almost spilled the beans.
10. Bill Hick's and Alex Jones' work timelines never coincide. Bill Hicks died in 94, and Alex Jones appeared in 97.
11. Yearbook photos and birth/death certificates mean nothing. If a death was faked, the government would have to aid in manipulating those documents. The yearbook photo of Jones looks like any white person. The Yearbook photo of Hicks means nothing- he sold out to the CIA in 1994.
12. Hicks thrived in humor that bashed media, Hollywood and questioned anything mainstream. He was growing in popularity and he was able to make jokes in a smart way that could wake people up. The CIA made him an offer that he couldn't refuse to become the controlled opposition as a character- Hicks was happy to embark a new life as a character and be set for life. Alex Jones' Infowars brings in $50M every year.
13. They have the same moles on their neck, in the same exact place. Bill Hicks had a mole on his left cheek; Alex Jones has a circular scar on his left cheek in the exact same spot.
14. This theory is something that is ridiculed in every community it is presented in. Seems like the work of bots to keep the secret behind the CIA's controlled opposition a secret.
15. They are the same height. When looking at a picture of Kevin Booth and Alex Jones- and of Kevin Booth and Bill Hicks, they are both nearly the same height as Kevin Booth.
16. Bill Hicks last appearance on television was a journalism piece on the Waco Seige. Alex Jones's first appearance on television was a journalism piece on the Waco Seige.
17. Bill Hicks allegedly died at 32 from pancreatic cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, almost all patients are older than 45. About 2/3 are 65 years old. The average age is 70. Bill was less than half the average age.
18. Alex Jones is clearly going “over the top” when being interviewed on mainstream media to make real conspiracy theorists look crazy and unreliable. In a recent court hearing, Alex Jones’ lawyer revealed that he’s “playing a character” and that says to me it’s Bill Hicks playing the character of Alex Jones.
19. People accidentally called Alex Jones, “Bill” on his show a few times. Jerome Corsi, Max Keiser, and Duncan Trusell all slipped up while being interviewed and called Alex, “Bill”.
20. In an interview, Kevin Booth stated that Alex Jones is funnier than Bill Hicks. For a supposed BEST FRIEND of a famous comedian to say that is disrespectful to the legacy of Bill Hicks. If Bill really died of cancer, that never would have happened.
21. Before the Alex Jones is Bill Hicks conspiracy took off, Alex Jones received a plaque honoring Bill Hicks from Kevin Booth. There’s not a shred of evidence proving that Alex and Bill knew each other, so why would Alex Jones be the recipient of a plaque honoring Bill Hicks UNLESS they were doing it as a form of mockery?
22. Alex Jones was on camera looking lean, muscular in 1997 and looked/sounded different than the Alex we know today. Also in 1997, he was pictured looking pudgy and out of shape](https://preview.redd.it/9khxoju091sy.jpg?width=640&auto=webp&s=4553e3029ec58e97a351803f9baba69a226b9ba3).
23. From Kevin Booth, the best friend of Bill Hicks/Alex Jones: "Alex used to sit in front of a star map and I had a hard time putting my finger on exactly what it was that Alex was talking about. I remember the very last time Bill Hicks came to Austin Access (spring of 93) – we were working on a script called "Public Access" about a Rush Limbaugh" type character who angers a viewer and the viewer came to the station and killed the host on the air.
