2024.05.21 16:20 gerri001 Neighbor flooded Unit/HOA won’t hold him accountable

I own a small condo in a 6-story building in California. We have HOA fees and a HOA board.
Neighbor above me leaked water (slow leak) into the corner of my unit so I ended up with a soggy corner wall in my kitchen/living room, soggy/moldy carpet, and black mold inside wall/carpet. I called a plumber to see what was going on. Plumber said it was a leak from above and knocked on the above neighbors door to find the leak. Neighbor lets plumber in to find the problem and plumber got photos (which I have) of the source of the problem (slow leak under the sink) from the neighbor. I contact neighbor requesting his home owners insurance. No real damage to the building so HOA/building doesn’t have a claim against neighbor.
SURPRISE neighbor does not have homeowners insurance (stupid, but not illegal if you buy outright I believe). By text, neighbor tried to initially send over his “friend” to fix the issue. I refused that offer and got licensed consultations on fixing the damage. The HOA bylaws/guidelines that say owners are responsible for any damage they cause to other units and must make victim’s unit whole. HOA also says they require home owners insurance but they’re obviously not checking/enforcing.
The damage I incurred were walls had to be cut open and dried for two weeks, couldn’t use my kitchen, carpet pulled up, padding replaced, new paint, new wall, credit towards new carpet for % that was damaged (since it’s one large piece). I have documented diminished lung capacity from sarcoidosis so this had to be fixed very quickly which I communicated to the HOA and owner.
I had to open a claim with my homeowners insurance and had to pay deductible to get this fixed after neighbor refused to provide insurance and HOA board confirmed he did not have insurance. My insurance kind of implied they planned to go after the guy but now they’re saying he picked up the phone only once and hung up and is now not picking up their calls (I had his phone number from before and provided it to insurance).
What should I do? Should I get a lawyer to write a demand lawyer? Should I sue him for damages (my deductible, insurance will likely go up, perhaps hardship, and legal fees ). I don’t really want to sue but given how this has transpired, he could damage my unit however he wants and never have to be responsible causing me to continue to have to make claims against my own home owners insurance.
I’ve previously interacted with him on a very general neighborly basis, and he doesn’t seem to have a stream of income so I don’t think the a court could garnish wages nor force him to sell his home. There is a second home owner on the purchase that looks like a relative of his, but I can’t seem find this person on the internet.
Should I sue the HOA for not enforcing their bylaws and then they can deal with the leaking neighbor?

2024.05.21 16:20 Kindly-Banana-8971 What happens next?

So for background, I recently got into an accident. The other driver was cited for being at fault. His car has no damage, meanwhile, mine looks horrible. The driver side door won’t open, the front driver side fender is bent out of shape, the headlight is crushed and the bumper is only attached using the headlight wiring.
The dilemma I’m running into is that my grandfather just gave me this car about a month ago, and it is still under his insurance, but I’m not listed as a driver. He also lives halfway across the country. Would he still need to file the claim as normal? Would his insurance fix the car or would we have to wait for the insurance companies to go back and forth about paying for the damages?

I admitted some embarrassing stuff at my ibs c&p. It’s a presumptive for at least me but I thought everyone. Anyway I was not exaggerating when I talked about shitting my pants at work once and getting away with it, or opening my car front and back door for coverage to shit in awful downtown places. It fucking sucks and I told her all this stuff and I got 0%…I met all the criteria for top rating….why?

2024.05.21 16:16 arfiyan Get to know Chainspot Router ( Prom X Chainspot Router )

Good evening, everyone.
Today we are going to discuss a bit about Chainspot Router, where Prom has successfully integrated with Chainspot Router. Let's talk together about what Chainspot Router is and how it works.
A. What is Chainspot Router?
Chainspot Router is an infrastructure or service that enables the transfer of assets from one blockchain to another. It allows users to quickly and efficiently transfer crypto assets such as tokens, coins, or data between various blockchain networks. By using Chainspot Router, users can enhance the interoperability of their assets across different blockchain platforms, as well as facilitate integration with applications or projects in the Web3 ecosystem. This helps overcome interoperability barriers between blockchains and expands users' flexibility in managing their crypto asset portfolios.
B. How Chainspot Router Works
The operation of Chainspot Router can be explained in several stages:
  1. Blockchain Chain Monitoring: Chainspot Router continuously monitors various blockchain chains to detect and process asset transfer requests.
  2. Asset Transfer Requests: When a user wants to transfer assets from one blockchain to another, the transfer request is submitted to Chainspot Router. This request contains information about the assets to be transferred, the destination address, and other transfer instructions.
  3. Verification and Validation: Chainspot Router verifies and validates transfer requests to ensure the authenticity and accuracy of the information provided. This helps prevent fraud and ensure transaction integrity.
  4. Asset Conversion: After successful verification, Chainspot Router initiates the asset conversion process from the source blockchain to the destination blockchain. This involves exchanging assets according to the established exchange rate.
  5. Asset Transfer: Once the conversion is completed, Chainspot Router transfers the assets from the source blockchain to the destination blockchain according to the instructions provided in the transfer request.
  6. Transaction Confirmation: After a successful transfer, Chainspot Router sends transaction confirmation to the user, providing proof that the assets have been successfully transferred to the specified destination address.
  7. Tracking and Reporting: Chainspot Router can track transaction status and provide reports containing information about successful transactions, including details such as transfer time, transferred asset amount, and more.

2024.05.21 16:15 Fit-Network-589 What the hell is wrong with therapists?

I had been in therapy for three years as a teenager, and recently started again as an adult. Here are some of the experiences that I’ve had with my “therapists”:
  1. Psychiatrist told me that physical abuse in childhood doesn’t cause issues, and that I will grow up to do worse to my kids. I was twelve.
  2. At least two psychiatrists who gave me meds for the sake of profit
  3. Asking me leading questions, one psychiatrist tried to get me to admit to having hallucinations when I didn’t have any
  4. Psychiatrist dismissed my complaints about side effects from a medicine that wasn’t helping me
  5. A psychiatrist who snuck up on me and flicked my ear as a “joke”, keep in mind that I live in a conservative culture where this might be considered sexual harassment. I was well into puberty too, and I had a traumatic history with sexual harassment
  6. A psychiatrist told me “you’re the problem” without hearing the full context, but even if I was the problem, that’s no way to speak to a client
  7. I was placed in a room of about five or six different doctors surrounding me, and expected to talk about myself openly. The tone of the psychiatrist was cold, and it almost felt like he was trying to rush through getting to know me. He didn’t seem to understand or acknowledge that talking about child abuse and neglect in front of this many strangers was very difficult
  8. I got myself admitted into a facility because I felt like I was gonna kill my “parents” for being too controlling. After I got out, my psychiatrist encouraged my parents to be even more controlling by limiting my screen time (I’m TWENTY ONE)
  9. A DBT specialist who would keep looking at the time during our sessions
  10. Not a single therapist spotted signs that I was being neglected at home, and I, being a child, didn’t realize it
  11. More recently, a psychotherapist “jokingly” threatened me with a cane. It seemed like a joke, but one that made me very uncomfortable. Judging by the children’s drawings on his walls, it’s likely that he did this to children as well. Why does he even have a cane in his office at all?
  12. That same psychotherapist from before took a puff of his vape at the start of the session
  13. Not my therapist exactly, but a counselor who volunteered as a “listener” during his free time. My very first post was about him, that one was by far my worst experience
I don’t even know if I can report any of them, because everyone in the system seems to behave the same way. I feel like I have to fortify myself and fight my way through the system just to get the help that I need. This bullshit is exactly why I wanted a private therapist, but my “parents” can’t afford it, and they won’t let me work whatever job I can find to pay for it myself (I’m a woman in the middle east, I can’t do anything major against my “parents” or I would be putting myself at risk). Not only did my “parents” ruin me in childhood, they are also actively preventing me from getting the help that I need in adulthood. I feel mad at everyone
Is there anyone here who has actually found a therapist that knows how to stick to the most basic of ethics? How do I find a good therapist? Where the fuck are all those good therapists that so many of you keep gushing about?

2024.05.21 16:15 TechDadJr WIBTA if I don't tell my inlaws we will be on vacation when they plan to visit?

WIBTA if I don't tell my inlaws we will be on vacation when they plan to visit?
I guess to set the stage, I'll (31M) just say that my wife's (Cami, 38F) parents have always been terrible people. When she graduted from high school, she went to college and only come home for short visits. Her relationship with her parents has always been strained. For me, in low doses, they are tolerable, and sometimes even funny (but they are the joke). When they would come to visit, they'd stay a week or more and act like our house was a B&B and they were on vacation. One time I asked them to take our son to school because I had some meetings and my MIL actually said that they were on vacation not here to run our errands and besides, Cami should be taking him to school because she's the mom (they are big on trad wife roles). The suposed point of their visits is to spend time with their grandson, but there was frankly little of that. He'd come home from school and they'd say hi, but go back to watching NewsMax and the WWII channel. After their last visit, I told my wife that the next time they should stay in a hotel. I work from home and they have no boundaries or respect for others.
All fun and games when dealing with family, but recently, they finally went too far and my wife went no contact with them. We were having a marital issue and she moved out for a few weeks. Once they found out, they took it to a whole different level and it went from classic over the top trad wife roles/religious hypocrite/ boomers being fools nonsense to vicious. When she stopped answering their calls/texts/emails, they started in on me. I've only responded once, telling them that they were in the wrong and need to appologize to their daughter and they can't use me to do an end around. I haven't told them that we've reconciled and my wife is back home, but even if she was a hated ex, I would not let these fools use me to bypass her.
Cami and I have planned a family vacation and one of the recent emails from my inlaws stated that they intend to just show up uninvited. As it turns out, it will be while we are gone. They want to see their grandson and because they think we are still separated, stated that Cami wouldn't even have to know. Do I break the NC and tell them that we won't be there? It seems cruel to let them come and knock on the door and not even know that we are gone. On the other hand, it's pretty presumptious to just demand a visit and tell me when (and not ask if that works for us). I also feel like if I respond, I'll be opening the door and they would just demand to come some other time. To me, this is a problem they need to solve with their daughter.

Is this an acceptable repair or am I in my rights to complain?
The door frame was broken when the door was slammed open too hard. This part of the wooden frame splintered.
This means the door, which is the main access to the garden, has been screwed shut for two and a half months.
It was finally repaired and this is the job, marked as completed. I'm not an expert so I'm wondering if me being upset about this quality of work is reasonable or if I need to shut up and move on?
There is no sealant in that gap FYI...

SUPERLIGHT Episode 9

Aetherians of the New Empire are banned from ever returning to Aetheria or from joining into the One. The border net is a solid wall to non-authorized Aetherians, impenetrable. The Elo Eloahim passes through the net without a hitch.
The Blade has now come to a full stop. The shuttle carrying Excelsior Andriel is docking with the Blade. Once the shuttle is cleared of occupants, it will return to the Elo Eloahim autonomously.
Excelsior Andriel has made his way back to the bridge of the Blade and is admiring the border net through the giant viewer screens. I haven't been out here for many strands. Beautiful to look at.
Send some technicals out to one of those nodes to have a look at it. I am sure it is manifest, but there must be a way to defeat it. I want to tear a hole in it, big enough to push the Blade through it, Andriel says.
There is only one express elevator that drops down to the 17th floor. The operator must enter a series of codes as the elevator descends. The codes are changed frequently like a password.
There are government secrets on 17 that can never be accessed by unauthorized personnel, says Steven as the elevator nears the bottom floor of the Pine Bluff underground base. The door opens and Nancy, Walter, Brad and the two techies spill out of the elevator to a large hall with long corridors running down each side. The footprint of the bottom floor covers about 120,000 square feet, about the size of a car factory or supersized retail store.
We have all your gear in a lab down this hallway, says Steven. We are anxious to see your device at work, Oscar says. Hey, do you guys want to see something really cool? Steven asks.
All three nod in unison. Great. Follow me, Steven says.
The group walks down a hall and enters a lab, lots of tables, computers, not much to see really. Up on one table is a group of long plastic tubes, 12 inches in diameter, maybe 4 or 5 feet long. You can see mirrors at the end.
Wow, this looks interesting, Walter says. You are looking at the real reason we went into Iraq. Saddam had this built from instructions found on ancient Sumerian clay tablets found near where Babylon once stood.
They called it the Looking Glass. Our CIA guys heard about it and had photos and diagrams of it smuggled out of Iraq. We recreated it out at Area 51, Groom Lake actually.
When they saw that it worked, the powers that be, Steven makes air quotes with his hands, decided to go in and get it. This is the real deal. The whole 9-11 scam was part of an elaborate plan to get this thing out of Iraq. That’s my opinion.
Plus other sundry items. Walter, Nancy, and Brad are just stunned. Steven turns on a light source that bounces around from mirror to mirror and ends up at a large concave mirror, 15 inches in diameter.
You can see faint moving images on the mirror's surface that look like old 8mm grainy film. It looks like rioting in the streets, store shelves empty, a stark apocalyptic scene. Large crowds gather around the U.S. Capitol building and the Vatican.
Steven, where are these images coming from? Brad asks. From the future? Steven responds. No? Brad says. Yes, from the future. Steven says.
Somehow, light being moved over all these mirrored surfaces breaks out a light that is streaming in from the future. Walter moves in closer. So are these images just random snippets? Or are they organized in some manner? Walter questions.
The best we can tell is that they are like listening to an old AM radio at night. Stations from far away can drown out stations that are close by. Just sort of a jumble of music coming in and fading out.
It seems that the images are from different points in the future. One may be 5 years out and the next 50 years away, Steven says. So, what is so important about it, Nancy asks? Think about it, Nancy, having advanced warning of coming events.
Plus, many times we can see advanced technology. It's priceless, Oscar says as he reaches over and turns off the device. The one big drawback, however, is that, just us witnessing of these events will change them.
It's a very tight loop. We have been shooting video from the big mirror. When we compare previously shot video from images from the look in glass, they are different.
Some in subtle ways and others in major ways. Simply observing the future changes it. So we only keep it on for brief periods until we understand this phenomenon better, Steven concludes. Okay, let's get you guys settled into your lab. I am really looking forward to learning more about this superlight. Our world is amazing, isn't it? Steven says,
Washington DC is spectacular at sundown. The lights from the monuments and government buildings make for dramatic and exciting backdrop for the world leaders and dignitaries that visit, as well as the everyday politicians that haunt the city. A group of high-powered cabinet secretaries and military bosses have sit down for an emergency meeting with the president. Gentlemen, greetings and thank you for coming up here to the White House on such short notice.
I have been receiving phone calls and veiled threats from world leaders all day. Number one, what is all this fuss really all about? And secondly, what is going to be our stance in regards to this crazy technology, which I have heard very little about? Are we just going to take it from a private company and turn it over to all the governments of the world? The president asks out of breath, Mr. President, if I may, says Senator Abramson, who is seated on one of the two sofas just in front of the president's big resolute desk. I believe I was the first one to hear of this device.
I heard from a doctor that works at the company, one of my constituents. He came to me frantic and told me many details about this device. He had the presence of mind to film an experiment he participated in, shot on his cell phone.
I was so concerned about this horror show being in my district, I contacted the FBI director to look into it, for I thought it was a national security risk at the highest degree. The FBI director sent in a team with a warrant to seize any and all evidence related to the Superlight project. Brad Hillier, the company CEO, was one step ahead of us and had already moved all key components of the device and associated files and plans.
We have no leads at the moment as too where he and members of his staff are hiding out. I would like to offer whatever assistance I can, being that this thing was created in my district. I would like to help if I can.
Thank you, Senator. We can use all the help we can get. I want to thank you all again for coming up, and I would like to suggest that each of you consult with your respective departments and get me a letter that lays out your thoughts on how to proceed with this situation.
Please give me something by the end of tomorrow. I will then be better informed on my decisions on how to deal with this issue. Thank you all for coming.
All the attendants stand and stream out of the Oval Office. Ed Bramson hangs back. Mr. President, I had a deep black officer from the Space Force speak to my oversight committee, and she let it be known that she knew about Hilliard before any of this became public.
I have no way of getting to her. But I thought you should know, she may have information regarding Hilliard. Very interesting, Senator.
I will try looking under some rugs. But as you know, I have little authorization over deep black project sites or the people that run them. Please stay in contact, Senator.
Atlan, the home world of the Aetherians, is the seat of the Old Dominion. The large planet sits just outside the massive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy, in a large cluster of stars orbiting the event horizon. The light from all the nearby stars eliminate all darkness.
Every planet in this cluster is lit every hour, all over the globe by multiple stars. Massive bright stars can be seen in every direction. Humans could not exist here, the heat and radiation would evaporate the water in a human body in seconds.
But it's paradise to the Aetherians that dwell here. An indescribable garden, hundreds of millions of vast mansion homes with complex landscaping. There are over 100 planets inhabited by the Aetherians in this sector.
One more beautiful and amazing as the next, Atlan is home to the One. The One walks these gardens from time to time, and abides in a mountain compound known as Shiloe Ahim. Ambassador Lucentel the hand of the One, is an Ark ancestor.
He was with the One long before the Matterverse was spoken into existence. There are a small number of Ark ancestors, as many as 100 are known to live. The Akashe, the Ancient Hall of Records, holds records telling the story of the One and the Ark ancestors alone on Atlan.
The Ark ancestors wanted a family and asked the One to enrich them with sons. The One said he would extract a small spark of himself and release it as a son for each Ark ancestor. Many years later, the Ark ancestors developed the ability to petition the One for new sons and daughters.
The sons and daughters of the Ark ancestors are slightly less powerful than the Ark ancestors. Over billions of years, the eternal Aetherians have multiplied into trillions of beings and lower beings. The lower beings take the form of many exotic creatures that inhabit thousands of planets scattered across the Aetherians' Old Dominion.
Atlan is standing by to receive us, Ambassador, announces the Commander on duty. Please dock and secure the Elo-Eloahim. I would like to travel down to Atlan as soon as possible.
Brad, Nancy, and Walter have finished setting up the superlight in the big lab that Steven and Oscar gave them. Brad, you need to see the footage I shot of you while you were sleeping in the van. The interview I did with your driver, Zia, Nancy says.
What? You interviewed my driver? Brad says surprised. Yes, when you were asleep in the van, Nancy says, as she is cutting up the video footage. Okay, here we go.
Brad is watching the video, riveted by it. He turns it off. Well? Nancy asks. It's nice, I always wanted a daughter, Brad giggles.
I am sorry this shit is so crazy that if I don't laugh, I would cry. We haven't peeled back even one layer of this onion yet, and it's already difficult to keep up with. When I came out here with Archer on his private plane, Captain Carpenter introduced me to her little grey alien friends.
We flew aboard a small silver disc-shaped craft to their home base, that sits out around the rings of Saturn. Nancy looks right at Brad. Stop Brad, are you high right now?.
Brad pauses, don't you remember at lunch, Captain Carpenter said I would bring you up to speed. Well, I am bringing you up to speed right now. Drivers, waterbots, now grey aliens and UFO discs, what's next? Nancy asks with indigence.
Brad says, who knew a high-frequency light designed to see cracks in critical aircraft components and machinery would cause intergalactic turmoil. So as I was saying, my understanding is that the Superlight is a threat to a huge data collecting operation that these high freaks have been doing for eons. High freaks? Walter asks puzzled.
Oh, that's just a name I gave them. They are the beings that inhabit the realm that we see with the Superlight. They function at a super high frequency of light.
Their world is as real as ours, just operating at a higher frequency. Without the advent of the Superlight, we would never know that they are all around us and strewn all across the universe, Brad continues. The high freaks drive avatars or waterbots as Zia calls us, without our knowledge, so they can collect millions of terabytes from hundreds of telemetry points during the lifetime of the avatar.
It seems that the traveler or waterbot is just a spacesuit, be it an advanced one for the high freaks, Brad concludes. So the superlight reveals this relationship to the travelers, and that is what they are concerned about. Follow the money.

2024.05.21 16:13 Fuzzy_Tooth_3191 Advice on what to do in the following situation:

I have been contracting outside ir35 for a few years now, the last 2 and a half months has been the longest time off I've had unplanned due to the current market situation.
It's been nice to spend time with the family after working like a dog for many months on end without days off and it's given me time to pick up old hobbies and interests again.
But I'd say for the last 3-4 weeks I've felt it's time to start looking for work again. I've mostly stayed positive throughout that period knowing I am financially ok to get through to around Sep/Oct before shit hits the fan. However there have been moments of nervousness and worry given just how quiet the market has been.
So I've started considering permanent roles. Perm roles range from anywhere around 40k up to around 85k upper limit. I could easily land something around the 50-60 mark and if I'm lucky go 65+. I wouldn't be interested in anything below 50k but trying not to be too picky.
Contracting OIR35 I have been mostly on 430pd with my last contract at 500pd.
As of the last few days things have started opening up and the situation now is as follows:
1) A large IT consultancy has a perm job at 55k/ year which I hit all the requirements for, which I could land v easily. The recruitment agent also feels I'm a perfect match and could get things moving v quickly. I have the slightest feeling I could be underselling myself.
2) There's is another consultancy posting a job advertised at 65-80k/ year which I am liking the look of and really like the consultancy and their work. I feel quite confident I'd be a strong candidate but not as confident as the one above. I wouldn't be underselling myself here, I'd likely be progressing to land this hence my slightest doubt whether I'd land it.
3) The agency with which I got my last 4 month long contract at 500pd has got work starting in July. I am v close to the guy who runs it and his client loved my work during my last stint. A person who I'm still in touch with who is still with the same client has also confirmed what I heard about more statements of work kicking off around June/ July. In short I'm quite confident there will be work come July at 500 pd outside. This naturally pays the highest but there is the obvious precarity attached to it esp as it could be another 4 months with no sign of anything after it.
4) I have an agent who is offering me inside IR35 roles for around £450 also around June/ July start for 6-12 month contracts.
5) I am open to the idea of juggling more than one role. To not have the temptation of juggling roles I would want to take home around 4k minimum.
The question:
What would you do in this situation?

2024.05.21 16:13 Loser_Baby_19 The Unfortunate and Devastating Consequences of Private Monkey Ownership

The Unfortunate and Devastating Consequences of Private Monkey Ownership
Hello all.
As a lover of all animals including non-human primates, I feel that it is my duty to continue to bring awareness to the devastating consequences of private monkey ownership. In particular, I have been focusing on one individual who has made his financial profit off of what I feel is his continued exploitation of his capuchin monkeys.
Despite this owner's persistent belief that I have some "hidden agendas" against him in particular, the reason why I have fixated on him is simple (and I have made that clear repeatedly in the past). Out of all the primate pet vloggers on YouTube and social media, this owner's capuchin monkeys especially Monkey Boo appear to exhibit the most troubling displays of behavior and appearance. I have not witnessed any other capuchin monkey vloggers whose monkeys exhibited these same abnormal behavioral patterns. In fact, I have previously stated that I used to be a huge fan of this owner's YouTube channel, and donated money and gifts to his monkeys years ago in support. Thus, my only 'agenda' is my genuine concern for a capuchin monkey I had grown to become very fond of, and my desire to get Monkey Boo the help he truly needs despite his owner continuing to cover up his true condition.
His YouTube channel has the most subscribers out of all capuchin monkey vloggers, and he and his capuchin monkeys have been the focus of several somewhat flattering articles on media outlets such as Vice. And despite this owner's awareness of this subreddit and my posts, he stubbornly continues to gaslight, lie, and deny that any of his monkeys, especially his most popular monkey, Boo, are sick in any way shape or form. He is quick to antagonize and block anyone on his social media channels that questions the appearance and behavior of Monkey Boo, despite many of these concerned viewers being long time dedicated fans of Boo and only having genuine concerns for Boo's well being.
And despite Monkey Boo first showing signs of mental/emotional distress and disorders back in 2022, this owner has continued to gaslight, lie, and cover up the true status of Boo. Instead of addressing viewer concerns, being transparent, and getting professional help for Boo, this owner has engaged in and continues to engage in covering up Boo's true condition. Going on two years now, this owner posts old video clips of Monkey Boo in happier and healthier days on a daily basis to his YouTube channel (to cover that he can no longer film Boo like before).
The following are some media evidence to back up myself and others claims that Monkey Boo is not in a good state of mind these days. These media clips clearly show Monkey Boo exhibiting classic signs of non-human primate stereotypy behavior, repetitive type behaviors that indicate mental/emotional illness and distress.
Self hugging and excessive scratching (2022)
Self hugging and persistent high pitched screams of distress (2022)
Self hugging, persistent high pitched screams of distress, and head whipping (2022) (despite his owner's misrepresentation of head whipping as a 'happy' state, head whipping/twirls indicated a disturbed mental state https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3635140/).
Scratching, head twirls, unpredictable fidgety behavior, and a sense that this monkey may have been somehow sedated (2024)
Self hugging and displays of feabeing intimidated (2024)
Video showing repetitive circular movement patterns, a classic sign of abnormal behavior in captive wild animals including non-human primates. On the left is a 2017 video clip from the Tregembo Wild Animal Park in Wilmington, North Carolina (which continues its business to this day despite PETA's formal complaints). On the right is a clip from a relatively recent live video feed of Monkey Boo in his cage (it appears Boo's owner can no longer film Boo outside of his cage unless seemingly restrained or sedated).
Classic circular movement pattern of disturbed captive non-human primates
The most disturbing visual cue about the unhealthy mental state of Monkey Boo was brought to my attention by fellow subreddit poster FAH-Q-All (a great and wonderful resource and individual with nothing but the most genuine of concerns for Monkey Boo). Alopecia, or hair loss, is a very noticeable symptom of mental/emotional stress, distress, and illness, typically trigged by stress. FAH-Q-All mentioned that the condition and appearance of a monkey's tail can be indicative of an unhealthy mental/emotional state. And sure enough, when I compared old photos of Monkey Boo to Boo in 2024, the patchy condition of his tail is clearly evident.
Comparison pictures of Monkey Boo's tail. Patchy hair loss in top row pictures from 2024, full and healthy tail in bottom row pictures from 2020.
Comparison pictures of Monkey Boo's tail. Patchy hair loss in top row pictures from 2024, full and healthy tail in bottom row pictures from 2020.
This patchy tail is highlighted towards end of this video clip (that also features head whipping and scratching):
Monkey Boo video clip complete with head whipping, scratching, and noticeably patchy tail (2024). It appears this monkey is also restrained (similar to another 2024 vide of Boo eating a banana).
And the patchy hair loss is not isolated to Monkey Boo's tail. Boo's hair loss is also quite noticeable on his scalp. Notice how exceedingly thin Boo's scalp looks in the top row pictures from 2024 (as well as his glazed/dead eyes look). By comparison, notice how full Boo's scalp was full and vibrant four years ago on bottom row pictures (I deliberately put both a dry and wet scalp pictures so that no one can claim that the thinning appearance in the above pictures was due to being wet):
Balding Boo pictures above row, healthy scalp Boo from four years ago below.
And just a few comparison pictures of Monkey Boo from four years ago to what he looks like nowadays"
Monkey Boo in happier days four years ago top row, what Boo looks like now in 2024
Monkey Boo in happier days in center from over four years ago, ghoulish looking and acting Monkey Boo from 2024 in surrounding pictures.
Another comparison video, notice the huge difference in general appearance, behavior, and demeanor from Monkey Boo from four years ago to how Monkey Boo is now.
Monkey Boo in happier days four years ago. On a side note, thanks to this subreddit this owner no longer feeds his capuchin monkeys bananas. Bananas, despite its popular stereotype as being an 'ideal' food for non-human primates, is actually terrible for them.
Monkey Boo in 2024, can apparently no longer be filmed outside of his cage due to his unpredictable behavior. A huge difference compared to younger Monkey Boo.
As a side comparison, this picture shows what two relatively healthy capuchin monkeys should look like. Note the vibrant, full hair growth and general calm appearance. The white capuchin monkey on the right was actually 30 years of age at that time (2014) and was rescued from a life of research at a major university. It is not a good look when a 30-year old capuchin monkey looks far healthier than a 14-year old capuchin monkey. Despite Monkey Boo's owner and his fan base trying to infer that Boo is 'slowing down,' a captive capuchin monkey that is slowing down at only 14 years of age is indicative of terrible living conditions.
Two healthy looking capuchin monkeys by comparison.
In closing, I want to once again reiterate that the only 'agenda' I have with this and past posts in regards to this particular monkey and owner is because of my genuine concern for Monkey Boo's overall health. I have no affiliations with any other primate owner or vlogger, nor am I an official member of any animal rights groups. I used to be a huge fan of monkey vloggers like the owner of Monkey Boo. I was captivated by Boo's human like antics and felt it was all in adorable good fun.
However, once Monkey Boo started showing signs of mental/physical/emotional distress, and his owner stopped regular updates on Boo's YouTube channel, I started to become concerned. I found other individuals had also been raising concerns two years ago (and they continue to raise concerns to this day). I also noticed that Boo's owner denied anything was wrong with his monkey and bullied and blocked anyone from Boo's social media pages that raised genuine concerns for Boo's welfare. It was this inexplicable and detestable behavior by Monkey Boo's owner that completely changed my opinions of him, and spurred my own research into capuchin monkeys. I educated myself about these magnificent wild animals, the smartest of the New World Monkeys, and had my eyes opened to the devastation of wild monkeys being kept as private pets.
If Monkey Boo's owner had been transparent from the start and acknowledged his fan's concerns for Boo's welfare, and graciously accepted these concerns and advice and sought professional help for Boo, I would never have thought to contribute to this subreddit. There is absolutely no question in my mind that had Monkey Boo's owner done this, Boo's fan base would have completely understood and embraced both Boo and owner. Boo's fan base would have gladly donated money and resources to get Boo the help he needed, and would have offered unconditional support regardless of what happened.
Instead, Monkey Boo's owner decides to take the cowardly route, and to this day continues to engage in deceitful behavior to the detriment of Monkey Boo. This owner's other monkeys also appear to be in sub-par condition, particularly Monkey Meela who looks very obese. Again, no other capuchin monkey on YouTube/social media shows the extreme level of physical/mental/emotional abnormality as Monkey Boo does, thus my continued highlighting of this particular capuchin monkey and his owner.
Capuchin monkeys in the wild can walk on average up to two miles daily foraging, patroling, protecting, mating, etc. These pet capuchin monkeys by comparison are stuck in their cages for many hours a day and night, feed species-inappropriate foods and in excessive portions, and are denied the companionship of their collective troops necessary for their mental/physical/emtional well being. All for financial gain on YouTube and social media with no true regard of the well being of their animals.
Thank you all for your time.

2024.05.21 16:12 Powerful-Sport-5955 (A4GM/GM4A) Speedy Sonic Story! (Sonic/Adventure RP)

Hey :) I'm Sport and I'm 21! I go by Eastern Standard Time. So, for this RP post, It's gonna be my first Sonic RP if I remember correctly. This is in honor of the new CYOA for it that's been posted and it pretty much being the first REAL sonic CYOA. So, the way it'll work is I (or you, if you want me to narrate) make a build and we roleplay out the results. I don't *quite* have premade plots, since with this one I feel I should at least make it more open. I do have a few story rules just for simplicity.
One: Because my knowledge of Sonic outside the games is pretty shit besides the movies and OVA, we will be staying with the Games eras (At least if I narrate)
Two: I'm not the best with playing canon characters, so please understand if my dialogue is a bit awkward.
Three: I like some fanon stuff in the RP, or AU inclusions. We can discuss it, though my ideas are a bit weird admittedly.
If interested, give me a sign you read this far in comments or chat.

What is the right choice for a new construction garage door opener that works well with Home Assistant these days? I know MyQ is enemy #1 after their locking of API access. I have heard of RATDGO and Meross but not sure if those are more appropriate for retrofits vs a new install. Much appreciated!

2024.05.21 16:07 Willing_Ad_9160 Cat attacks after bringing home baby

Ever since we brought home our baby (7weeks) our cat (2years) has been very aggressive towards us. I found her as a stray when she was 4 weeks old and she has been with me ever since. She has never been the most affectionate cat in the first place. We don’t give her as much attention as we used too, and we took that into account. She still gets love and played with, just in fewer shorter increments. But added a few enrichment things, opening windows so she gets fresh air and electronic toys. We close our bedroom door now, because we don’t want her to accidentally suffocate our baby. I feel like it may be important to note she has shown little to no interest in the baby. Plus we started feeding her wet food. So I understand a lot of change is happening. But she only “attacks” us when we pet her for too long (this isn’t new, it’s just much more aggressive) or we walk past her in the hallway. She will run and jump up and latch her teeth/claws into our legs and feet. It’s painful and it causes fear because what if we drop the baby due to the surprise or pain? I absolutely do not want to get rid of my fur baby. I just don’t know what to do… any advice would be appreciated :)

2024.05.21 16:05 jarman65 Smart lock or keypad deadbolt for condo door?

Photos
I live in a 9 story midrise apartment building without a front desk or doorman so we’re on our own if we lock ourselves out which happened two weeks after we moved in and happens every so often when I forget my keys and my wife isn’t home.
We now have a Masterlock 5400D lockbox with a spare key attached to a fence outside our building where there’s probably 30 or so other spare key lockboxes, most of them the same lockbox model. After 2 years, the lockbox is getting a little rusty inside and is pretty difficult to open after you’ve entered the correct code so I don’t think that’s a good long term solution. It also sounds like these lockboxes aren’t very secure even if someone was able to open ours among the 30 or so others they would then have to guess the right unit since it’s a fairly large building.
Would a smart lock be a good solution for my situation or would a deadbolt with a keypad be a more reliable option? I don’t need to remotely unlock the door for people when we're not home — I just need a backup for when I forget my keys. Battery life would be a concern and if there’s still a way to get in if it dies.

2024.05.21 16:00 groundbound_petunias Blind girl looking for apartments

As the title says, current place of being so to speak is increasing the rent for the fourth time in less than a year. And I cannot afford that and such luxuries as soap and food. So I'm hoping to find something a bit more affordable that's not going to end me up in the ghetto.
I've usually rented basement suites. As they are usually a bit more affordable, but I have no preference. It just needs to be below.850/mo all in.
I've always lived on the South side of the river, but this is not unnecessary, it's just a bit more reassuring for us. Blind people to kind of have a map where we're going, but at this point, if you happen to have a rusty, shed outback in the far West side I would take it.
I have very good references and also good credit and no criminal record and can provide all the paperwork. And that jazz to ascertain the truthfulness of that. I suppose, I also used to do the cleaning and general maintenance of one building. I lived in years ago and still have the landlord's information. I assume since I. Dealt with flooding toilets and keeping the hallways clean and also shoveling a 12 car parking lot by hand that probably I can handle whatever your suite might throw at me, please don't be like the one lady that just slammed the door in my face because she said her place had steps. You know, kind of like the ones that I took a multiple times to get on multiple transit to view Her.suite. And yes, I have tried to check the rental sites like rentfaster and kijiji , but unfortunately, neither of them are optimized for my talk to text programs. So I'm having very little luck being able to view anything or contact people when I do eventually get something to appear. So I'm hoping somebody lives in a cheaper buildinging somewhere. maybe has saw the sign 4 rent Sin 4 that dark corner in the basement and maybe I can fill it Also I don't smoke or have any pets. Not even a guy dog. Sadly, so I would fit that requirement for most suites..

2024.05.21 15:59 Pretend_Golf3727 Is it normal to lose the spark after a few dates?

I feel like this happens to me (26F) a lot while dating: me and the guy that I’m dating have good chemistry but it fizzles out after a few dates
I’m exclusive with the guy (30F) that I’m dating, we actually decided to be exclusive on the second date! We had really good chemistry and he’s honestly everything that I’m looking for on paper.
Currently it’s been 6 weeks of dating and we’re going to have our 7th date in a few days - but I’m not really feeling that excited for the date. I had a lot of enthusiasm for him until date 4 but he’s been travelling a lot and I feel like that’s perhaps caused the momentum to drop off
Don’t get me wrong, we have fun together on dates and it’s been nice being more vulnerable and opening up but I just don’t feel the excitement that I initially did
Is this normal? Or should I take it as a sign that - although we get along well, we still might not be the perfect match for each other

2024.05.21 15:58 goingtothecircus How can I heal from a broken heart?

I was talking to a guy for almost 8 months until he found out his best friend had feelings for him too. I was dropped like a hot potato and it hurt extremely bad because I grew to trust this person after having my heart broken for the first time by an ex who ghosted me. He wanted to stay friends but I called it off because I couldn't bear it.
I feel like this is a trend in my life where people genuinely seem to like me at first, but later down the line something changes and they aren't interested anymore by the time my heart is invested. It hurts so much and this has really been bothering me and hurting me.
I keep checking my messages to see if he texted me, I have been praying and writing and crying and thinking about telling him how he hurt me and how much it has affected me, but I don't think that is the godly thing to do. Plus, I know he is not thinking about me anymore so why am I spending so much energy and time thinking about him.
It hurts to feel rejected and picked over to someone smarter, thinner and prettier than me when I was already feeling insecure in the first place. I have felt this way all of my life. This guy at first made me feel like he loved me and wanted me and talked about marrying me and all of these sweet things he wanted to do for me. I believed him. It took me a while to grow to trust him because at first I kept my heart guarded, I wish I had kept it guarded a little more because now my heart is broken open and I have to patch it back up again.
The worst part is when I sent him my final goodbye message he didn't even read it and said "If you feel like reaching out in 10 years please do you have my number" which didn't offer me much closure. It feels like he wanted to keep the door open for future communication which is confusing to me. I have autism so I don't know if he meant it as an empty gesture or if he really means it. It sure isn't helping me trying to move on.
I feel angry. Is it ok to feel angry?

2024.05.21 15:55 Hot-West9928 Soul of a human 7

First_Previous
Again a small lore dump, on magic attributes. Hope you enjoy!
_________________________________________________________________________________
On the way to the next lesson Mor was asked °Think, I could use your magic?° by the human.
°I don´t know, maybe something to try later today° he answered. °Yeah, let's do that too.° Human agreed.
The next lesson was an interesting one, at least for the visitor from beyond, it was a lesson on the rules of magic, even if Mor and quite a few of his peers were lulled into sleep by the soothing voice of the teacher. The human, never expected, that someone could teach something so interesting in such a boring way.
...
As you all know, magic is divided into types, that are known to us as attributes.
Attributes have a positive effect on magic of the same type and a negative effect on the type opposing it. To give you an example for this a mage with fire affinity, will not be able to use higher forms of water magic. We know of the following attributes, but sometimes new ones are discovered, so this list is ever-expanding. Please pay attention now, as this will be test-relevant. We know of the elemental attributes, Fire, Earth, Water, and Wind, the manipulation attributes, Healing and Illusion and finally the royal attribute, only seen in the royal Diamond family, called Gravity.
Here I have to note, that there are spells, that are not included in any of those attributes and can be used by anyone. These are called Basic-attributed spells. Those spells include for example things like body enhancement, magic bolt, or the widely used message spell.
Now please note that the attribute distinctions are only one part, the second part is the distinction of potency of the spells. Firstly there is the single-class, moving and manipulating existing materials, you can pick fruits or use a small amount of water to water a plant, they can only do what anyone could do with their own hands and basic tools. Next up would be group-class where the material to manipulate will be supplied by the magic power and here your attributes will matter. In this class, the basic martial spells and convenience spells are located, with a strength that a small group estimated at around five people could produce with their tools. Then we get into the village-class magic and as you can surely guess those include things, that would need the manual labor of a small village, and here most of you will find yourself comfortable spellcasting. But then we go into the higher forms, here you either need a soul-bound partner with the same affinity as yourself to supply the energy demands, those are called demographic-class, and finally, there would be world-class magic, but the energy required of those could only be supplied by a whole convent of right attributed mages at least that´s the theory. Nobody was able to use a spell like that, it is purely hypothetical.
...
°Ok, that was really interesting, I would like to see what those high-class spells are capable of.° The human stated and Mor answered °Yes, but with my magic reserves, we will probably be stuck at group-class magic.° °Laaaame!° Human exclaimed. °We really need to find a way to get you more magic... This is just stupid.°
°Well it would help if it is possible for you to also cast spells. Then we could be much faster in using magic.° Mor thought. °Well, only a few more hours and we can test that, at home.°
°You´re right.° the human agreed.
With this, both of them either suffered or excitedly listened through the following lessons, and Mor having a peaceful lunch break. At last as peaceful, as it can be with a human trying to move random body parts and cursing about how hard it was. Mor finally made them stop after he was made to involuntary open his hand, and drop his juice. But without the acute danger of the bullies, it was very nice for a change, if a bit lonely. But still much better than before, the only bad thing about the bonding with the human was, that his body ached after the human moved it so violently, but it would pass, he was sure of that.
Finally, after lessons ended, Mor acquired something for supper and retreated to his room, carefully locking the door and at the insistence of the human enhancing the lock with a simple spell to make the lock and door more sturdy.
After they finally "guarded" their room right, Mor refusing to add some "surprises" for anyone opening the door. They sat down on the bed and began with what they discussed.
°I want to try using magic first.° The human opened. °Moving your body is hella exhausting.°
°Yes, let´s try it. First, just concentrate on the magic inside our body and make it flow.° Mor guided the human. °How do I concentrate on the magic?° The question came and Mor explained further. °You have to feel the potential within and then concentrate on it.°
After a short while the human stated °Is it bad, that I can´t feel any potential or whatever? Maybe just go like this and yes I think I feel something flow!° Mor felt elated, now they could cast two spells even with his meager energy reserves. °Great! Now concentrate on the pillow and imagine it fluffing itself up.° And once again the human tried, but nothing would happen. °Huh? Why is nothing happening? I feel something flowing and all.° They asked. °I don´t know, I´m telling you what I was told when I started with the magic. What my parents taught me.° Mor answered.
°Speaking of your parents, you have magic communication. Why is that message taking so long to reach them? Shouldn´t that be instantaneous?° The human asked.
Mor sighed °Your understanding is screwed up, how would you even think that? Message magic is simple, so you need to have a view on your recipient or it won't work.°
°Well, we have some stories in our world, with magic settings and shit, and there it is always super handy and can do just about anything. While here it is tedious and full of "that´s not how it works".° The human sounded disappointed.
°Well let´s get back on track and let me try some more. Maybe you could watch the flow of your energy, then tell me if I do something right.° Human offered and Mor nodded. Like that, they tried, but Mor could not detect any movement in the energies within him. °This is not working.° Mor stated, and the human had to reluctantly agree.
°So we are left with trying to let me do the body movement... Not ideal, but well let´s try something from my world. Take deep breaths and relax, only concentrate on your breathing.° The human instructed and Mor followed the directions and slowly felt his body moving, doing everything in his power to not intervene and only concentrate on his breathing until finally the human let out a satisfied grunt.
°Yes that is better, it is still hard, but now I´m just moving something I´m not accustomed to, instead of fighting you.° The human sounded pretty happy and Mor was too, but a quick glance at the clock in his room let both of them decide to get some sleep. Being late for class and tired would not be good.
Mor awoke the next morning to a world of pain, his whole body just hurt. °What is this, it hurts!°
°I don´t know! I did nothing while you were asleep!°
°You must have! Why else would it be like this?° Mor scolded the human.
°Don´t get snippy with me! I will slap you! And with your own hand no less!° They countered.
°And why I´m the only one in pain, that is unfair!° Mor complained.
°Why would you think that? I feel the pain too, it´s just not as bad as you say. You are just a little wuss.° The human said.
°I´m no wuss, I never had this kind of pain before!° Mor grumbled.
°Really? If I had to describe it it feels just like a little soreness in the muscles... Ah! Maybe, me moving your body is more stressful, than you moving your own. Even if you are distracted you subconsciously try to fight my control. That would make sense, but we can´t know for sure.° Human theorized.
°Really? And now? If this is what happens this is not acceptable!° Mor was still whining.
°Well easy, we will test your theory, that you can´t train your bodies, because, with this new development, I smell bullshit and laziness. Time to train and limber up!° Mor whinced at that exclamation of the human. °We will do nothing like that!° He exclaimed.
°We will, and I will force you if I need to.° The human stated matter of factly. °I hate you.° Mor grumbled.
°Yes. Yes! Let the hate flow through you!° The human snickered. °Still, I won´t let you just opt out without trying!°
