2024.05.21 21:22 Erwinblackthorn OPC: City in the Clouds by JB Williams
Todayâs one page challenge is for The City in the Clouds by J.B. Williams. Finally, a requested challenge, rather than the usual cycle of me finding a story and the person being triggered that I did so. At 234 pages and a whopping price tag of $20.99 for a paperback, itâs a wonder why it looks untouched. Flip some burgers for an hour to pay for this⊠whatever it is. I was told the editor is good, so letâs see how he gummed up the works.
The rules of the one page challenge are simple: I go through the first page of the book(about 300 words or 3 paragraphs) and say where the average reader would stop. These reviews are short, sweet, and to the point (unlike most of these books). The main things we look for are things like tension, a hint at the plot existing, good feng shui, a feeling like the blurb is accurate, a lack of obfuscation, and the story fulfilling its role as a story. As we go along, Iâll explain why readers love or hate certain elements and weâll see what straws break the camelâs back.
The title, The City in the Clouds, makes me think of fantasy, but itâs meant to be sci-fi. Clouds symbolize knowledge beyond our reach or something like daydreaming, treated as water in air(mystery in knowledge). Saying the title this way makes it seem like the focus is the city itself, which would be cool if it was something like a dystopian or utopian story. Maybe a tech noir or detective story, but⊠itâs not. This story is actually about a woman, and itâs a comedy, completely conflicting with the genre in two ways.
I didnât want to say this but Huston⊠weâre already having problems.
The ebook cover is a drawing of curly haired woman staring at the camera like sheâs constipated, while the paperback version is of an anime girl holding a gun and looking like she has diarrhea. Both versions have her in a suit, with a giant gas planet behind her. Both have similar fonts for the title and name, but the ebook version is so blurred and darkened that it reads like a secret message; the physical version being slightly less blurry. If I saw this on a shelf, I wouldnât recognize this as a book or know what it was called. I find it strange because the back of the book is very clear, given a blue box for clarity, and has a sun with a red sky that would have made more sense than these frumpy women.
I guess the title and name are made illegible because weâre supposed to zoom our eyes straight to the blurb:
At this point, the average reader would probably not give it a shot, unless the idea of pirates and an ironic Die Hard premise is their cup of tea.
No prologue, no maps, no glossary, just a simple chapter 1 to greet us. Ok, Iâm liking this already. I know this is a small thing, but the simplicity of just starting a story is a blessing that should be the norm, and isnât. I havenât read a single word and this is already the best OPC so far. Yes, itâs that easy.
Donât ruin the experience with all your fancy try-hard nonsense and the reader will be in hog heaven.
We are told the planet, sector, system, and date. Very effective in establishing the sci-fi element in this single aside, which also lets us know itâs 400 years in the future. The planet is named Andromeda, which is a well known galaxy, so if this is in that galaxy, I assume itâs going for a âNew York, New Yorkâ type of gag. The editor did a good job, with the first page establishing a scene in a restaurant. What he messed up on was⊠everything thatâs not the scene itself, which makes up 90% of the words.
The protagonist, Robin Alia Brook has her day off described as âshot in the faceâ, being delivered in present tense and this has it come out awkwardly. I say this because the second sentence is past tense, then it shifts back to present, back to past. This is why people stick with past tense to avoid the headache, and present tense is now used as a hipster novelty to act as if things are more important because theyâre happening as theyâre written. Most readers just find it as a distraction and it causes something niche to become more niche in the process. The first paragraph ends with us being told that sheâs in a restaurant that is 500 feet under the sea, of a planet called Andromeda.
She is to be dining, but she is NOT dining because her date didnât show. Cue the audience gasping, because this is a travesty. The part that really kills this opening is the sentence âShe is currently obtaining nutrients through Poseidon's generous supply of free lemons water and cheesy garlic biscuits.â This was the perfect chance for worldbuilding, to express something futuristic and fresh. Instead, it tied itself to Earth, talked about mundane food like lemon water, and it didnât use any of these for a punchline.
This is meant to be a comedy, but is absent of comedy. We donât need a bunch of humor in the first paragraph, but we do expect a comedy to present a tone that can lead to humor occurring. Every scene for a comedy is a setup for gags and punchlines. Much like horror, the scene is built around the mood, which is brought to a peak around half way. The introduction of a comedy book is going to hold a joke in relation to the entire book.
I believe the blurb when it says this Robin character can kill things by accident, because this book dies right after sheâs introduced, around the second paragraph. The third paragraph changes the subject to be about other people in the restaurant, acting as a distraction that leads to infodumps of Robinâs outfit and such. I understand that the âjokeâ is that this woman is stood up on her date and we are to feel her anguish, but the reader shouldnât be suffering through the opening this soon. Starting here is either far too late or far too soon. If anything, this is something I expect in chapter 2 or something we hear about as sheâs on her way to Bellona.
A good way to put it is that this scene is a non-sequitur done in order to give fashion statements, with the important exposition ignored for window dressing.
The average reader needs tension to get sunk into a sci-fi story, because this is a planet we donât know about with a character weâve never seen before. What is the point of having this restaurant so deep underwater? There is a city underwater? She has a job, but where does she work? At the Krusty Krab?
Non-sequitur is a distraction that removes us from the scene and the plot to explain things that donât serve a purpose to either. If I changed the first sentence to only hold what was part of the scene, it would be the characters name and nothing more. To strengthen an opening like this, we would have to set it up for a punchline, reinforce the sardonic tone, and tie the scene with the situation. The first sentence would go like:
For a story like this, the rejection comes from a lack of being straightforward. We can always fix up a sentence and how it sounds, but this doesnât mean much when the bones are disjointed. Thankfully, for this one, a lot of readers are used to openings like this from online serials, so there is hope that a lot of it will get a pass. Itâs that first hump that it has to get over in order to shine. Sadly, for little Robin, that hump was not achieved, so her journey through the city in the cloud might as well not exist.

I guess the title and name are made illegible because weâre supposed to zoom our eyes straight to the blurb:
Robin Alia Brook is considered a loser. She works at customer service for one of the largest companies in humanity's interstellar empire, gets stood up on dates, and accidentally kills people. Then when her ex-online boyfriend gives her the winning vacation lottery ticket to the famed habitat, The City of Clouds, she reluctantly accepts it.Slight grammar issues here and there, but most wouldnât notice that âex-online boyfriendâ would mean the boyfriend was online and not anymore. The delivery is a little bouncy, almost appropriate, but doesnât give much tone from how much info it tries to cram in. Something I noticed is that very little sci-fi is mentioned, with the only thing giving a sci-fi vibe being the idea of traveling to another planet. If this was a vacation to an island, very little would change from how itâs described. Like the title and name on the cover, a lot of what makes this book a book is hidden from us, in plain sight.
Upon arrival, she is greeted by the massive, beautiful gas giant Bellona, and all the glamour and prospects of expansion for the famous habitat. And it is the beginning of a celebration, too! For the election of the new habitat captain! But the celebration and vacation are ruined when pirates attack, seeking the captain's riches.
They are ruthless, they are bloodthirsty, and they won't stop until they get what they want. Unfortunately for the pirates, Robin is really good at accidentally killing people, and with her is a rag tag team of a pilot recruit, an egotistical journalist, a veteran photographer, and the captain himself.
It will be a long battle for The City of Clouds, and the outcome is unknown, but one thing is certain... This is the worst vacation ever.
At this point, the average reader would probably not give it a shot, unless the idea of pirates and an ironic Die Hard premise is their cup of tea.

If I changed the first sentence to only hold what was part of the scene, it would be the characters name and nothing more. To strengthen an opening like this, we would have to set it up for a punchline, reinforce the sardonic tone, and tie the scene with the situation. The first sentence would go like:
Five hundred feet below the seaâs surface, Robin could not stop drinking.This will give the impression that sheâs getting drunk, while attaching her drinking to the sea outside, giving the impression that sheâs drowning. But even then, I wouldnât start here, I would begin with a comedic amount of assurance that sheâs going to have her date show up, then the next scene is her waiting with this. That, or I would have her doing the walk of shame, allowing the plot to begin sooner when she gets her golden ticket, which would be like:
The ocean floor outside was slowly swallowed by darkness as the elevator pod took Robin away from Poseidon.Here, we have a moment for her to think back to the situation, and the word âdarknessâ gives hint to her current feeling about the restaurant. This is a setup for the punchline that follows, already skipping the failed date and able to move forward to the poster she sees in the elevator. Movies tend to do this type of exposition with the main character telling the situation to another person, who is helpless to escape. That can add more humor and make the main character express their personality quirks. The goal is for less opening to be used up for non-sequitur and to focus it on moving forward in relation to the plot.
For a story like this, the rejection comes from a lack of being straightforward. We can always fix up a sentence and how it sounds, but this doesnât mean much when the bones are disjointed. Thankfully, for this one, a lot of readers are used to openings like this from online serials, so there is hope that a lot of it will get a pass.

2024.05.21 21:21 jay_altair SuĂ°urnesjabĂŠr/ReykjanesbĂŠr recommendations?
I'm flying in Friday morning from the US with a couple of friends, and we're meeting a friend flying in from London late Friday night. The three of us early arrivals will have a rental car and will spend the day in Reyjkavik. I'm planning to take an afternoon nap, and then maybe grab dinner in the city before heading back out towards the airport, but wondering if anyone has any restaurant recommendations out that way. I'll have a couple hours to kill and figure I'll poke around and check out the lighthouses on the peninsula.
Any other recommendations for interesting spots, stops, sights, etc in the area would be most welcome. Never had the opportunity to cruise around Reykjanes before, as I've always been in a hurry to get to or from the airport.

2024.05.21 20:51 agingerich97 Kansas City Transplant Originally From Kirksville, slightly missing my hometown
As the header states, I moved to the Kansas City area a few years ago and im originally from Kirksville, a very small rural town in the northeast of the state.
Growing up, mainly in my teen years, I really started to resent and hate my hometown as many young angsty kids get. I hated that any legit city was at least 3 hours away, I hated how redneck and casually racist a lot of my peers could be, I hated how there was nothing to do, I hated how little opportunity there was for me as an aspiring musician.
However every day that goes by i end up missing my dinky little hometown a little more. Quite frankly any of the suburbs in KC, or quite frankly anywhere as far as I can tell, are trash. They're obnoxiously sprawling with nothing but mega highway sized roads big box stores with ugly parking lots everywhere. And then I moved to the city which I enjoy much more, but it's quite nerve racking hearing gun shots on occasion and reading stories on the news of people being murdered on a weekly basis and no one bats an eye. Then hearing about the city's history and blatant housing segregation that still very much affects the city today makes me sick.
I do appreciate having many more opportunities as a musician, having a semi decent music scene (it's not great however), tons of nice restaurants, loads of rich history and beautiful architecture everywhere, etc. But a lot of days I miss my old po dunk hometown. I miss being able to aimlessly wonder around town at like 3AM and not having to be overly aware of my surroundings, I NEVER heard gunshots in Kirksville, I miss a lot of the great people that I knew there, I miss walking through Truman campus which is beautiful, I miss the simple public schools, etc.
Anyways I guess the grass is always greener huh? I still love KC and plan on staying here for as long as I can, but part of me really misses my small hometown. Anyone else on here have any similar feelings about moving from a small rural Missouri town to KC or STL?

2024.05.21 20:50 Thrillhouse763 AMEX Gold up for renewal...
I'm wondering if anyone has rough numbers around what amount of MR earned in a year with the AMEX Gold justifies the annual fee? I'm asking because I have earned 25k MRs YTD from Grocery and Restaurants. Let's just annualize that to 50k MRs in a year.
I have no way to use the $120 dining credits as I don't have Grub Hub or the applicable restaurants in my area. I also have no way to use Uber Eats as it doesn't really exist here. I moved from a large city to a small town 6 months ago.

2024.05.21 20:46 gellohelloyellow Hey St. Louis, youâre great
I travel a lot for work, mostly domestically in the US, and some internationally. I recently visited LA and San Francisco. It was horrible. The visit made me appreciate St. Louis.
I grew up in St. Louis and went to SLU. I still have family who lives in St. Louis, and my wife is from St. Louis too. Work has forced us to move, but we visit regularly. If we get the opportunity to move back, we will.
All things considered, I used to think St. Louis needed to combine the county and city to really take that next step. Donât. Never consider it again. Iâm just venting.
St. Louis offers so much history, a landmark, an amazing park, zoo, various centralized nightlife destinations, and great restaurants.
Every time I visit, the city seems to have done some sort of renovation. It looks cleaner and nicer.

2024.05.21 20:41 Zealousideal-Let9491 Do I break the situationship up, or am I overreacting?
Apologies for the length of this post in advance !
I (25M) have just been on holiday with my equally gay best friend (26M) to San Francisco. This is the latest of many holidays we have been very fortunate to go on with each other in our 5 years of friendship. We originally met on Tinder at university and have had an on again off again sort of relationship since, mostly pursued by myself. He was the keener one of the two until I had to move abroad to continue my studies, but we have kept in touch daily ever since. I moved back to the city we both live in two years ago, and we see each other 2 - 3 evenings a week, always alone. However, I had learned to not start anything in case of rejection, so any kind of move over the past few years (kissing, oral, sex, dates) have always been initiated by him.
Four years ago, when I had just moved to Italy for my degree, he came to visit me in Turin. We had a pretty wild first night, but it was the first time I ever told him that I loved him. I truly meant it, moving to a different country made me miss him more than I could ever imagine. Short story, he said it back, then said he needed to go for a walk to get some fresh air. It was the middle of August in Italy, so I didn't think twice of it - it was boiling in the AC-less room we'd spent the last couple of hours having fun. The next morning, I was upset because I then saw a bunch of Grindr notifications going off on his phone, and asked him if he had met someone last night. He categorically denied it and said I was paranoid and that this was ruining our time together.
Fast-forward to Saturday night. We're sitting in a restaurant and he accidentally let it slip that he had indeed met someone that night. I, upset, left the restaurant after asking for an apology for him lying. He wouldn't and said I was being melodramatic over something that happened four years ago. I felt lied to all over again and gaslit, but kept it together because we still had a couple of days to go and I did not want to cause a scene half way across the globe.
I'm not usually much of a sharer, but I want to know if I was overreacting and if so, why people thought so. I do not see his perspective and he is not much of a communicator, so I come to Reddit. I'd appreciate your thoughts and am happy to elaborate - thanks all!

2024.05.21 20:35 dustybluffs The State of the (Federal) Union
I replaced the ball bearings in my bicycle's freehub recently and decided to take a spontaneous ride through the eastern German countryside to see if my repair had been worth the time. As I set out, the sun was shining, the birds were singing, and the flowers were blooming. It was a Sunday, so everyone and their grandmother was out cruising on their cumbersome E-bikes, their knees jutting out to both sides due to saddle heights optimized for pulling on the throttle instead of pedaling. This had the added benefit of taking up as much space as possible on the roadway. After self-righteously overtaking a group of beer-gutted mountain bikers, I was humbled by the sound of a wrench falling out of my saddlebag onto the cobbles that had shaken it loose. The group passed me by as I paced, head hung low, looking for the wrench. Another E-biker traveling in the other direction kindly stopped to help. After a short while, my wrench now found and firmly fastened, we went our separate ways.
Villages are often compact in Germany - you will breeze through wide-open fields and sparsely-developed forests before jarringly entering a 9ft-wide gauntlet with nothing but gapless concrete-colored house walls and wooden entrance gates on either side of you until you have made it through. That, and light-blue AfD (Alternative for Germany) election posters hung about 6-10ft up on lightposts. Going through these villages, you get the impression that the AfD is the established party and the others are the newcomers. I saw a single Die Linke (The Left) poster ("Those who must flee should find refuge!") on the ride; 70% were from the AfD and most of the rest were single-issue parties (animal rights, antisenescence research) or the glowie WerteUnion (Values Union). The AfD's slogans seemed to stick to a three-concept guideline: "Make construction easier!", "Agriculture instead of solar parks!". Another stuck out to me: "Re-imagine Europe!". I am a voteless immigrant along for the ride.
I did some reimagining of my route as my legs began to cramp, and I headed for the nearest city with a train station. I got on the Deutsche Bahn going home with two minutes to spare. By chance, a friend returning from a camping trip was also on the train, so I sat with him. I used to take the same train multiple times per month to visit my girlfriend years ago. Some things had changed: now an autistic German man will mutter something about coffee as he walks by - if you are quick, you can buy some. His son, sitting beside of the mobile coffee stand across from us, gave excited commentary to my friend's camping stories between playing something on his phone and secretly downing packets of sugar from the stand. A burly German woman checked our tickets - now, an even burlier, Central Asian bearded man with a security vest stood close behind her and watched for sudden moves. The Indian students and leopard-printed Eastern European women we shared the car with didn't make any trouble.
After another connection, I made it to my stop, got some American-style fried chicken from a Syrian restaurant and got a beer from a kiosk. The friendly tattooed German guy who used to work here has been replaced part-time by a disinterested Arab who can't be arsed to tell me the price out loud. Finally, I sat down to eat at home, but my enjoyment was interrupted by the angry buzzing of a Japanese hornet flying into the kitchen.

2024.05.21 20:33 TheBoyisBackinTown Andy Reid reveals why he loves KC, including his favorite restaurants
 | Skip the click: submitted by TheBoyisBackinTown to KansasCityChiefs [link] [comments] "Reid relishes an absurd work schedule that typically has him in the office by 3/3:30 a.m. during the season. So he prefaced what he has to say about Kansas City by suggesting he doesnât get out much. Still, heâs been out enough over the last 11 years to have a feel for the community and know what he likes about it. And itâs not just barbecue, though heâs got a thing or two to say about that. And itâs not simply that GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium âshould be on everybodyâs bucket list.â Itâs the âdown to earth people,â he tells friends, who make Kansas City special. Something he had a sense of when he was an assistant coach at the University of Missouri from 1989-1991. Part of that feeling is because it remains the sort of place where someone of his high-profile status can be out in public and chat with people but also be treated respectfully and given room. In fact, he said, going out to meals is where he meets most people. âEven though itâs a big city, itâs still got kind of a small-town presence,â Reid said in a recent phone interview with The Star (shortly before the Harrison Butker controversy erupted). âThatâs a neat appeal. But thereâs also a lot of things to do here.â Reid is most quick to speak about the Town Topic version. âI love places like that; I sneak in and sneak out,â he said. âItâs just a good cheeseburger, and the black-and-white milkshake is awesome. Vanilla with chocolate syrup. In a blender. They actually do it the old-fashioned way.â As for his favorite restaurants, Reid said he loves Eddie Vâs and the Capital Grille steakhouses and Stock Hill. Heâs also a fan of Pigwich in the River Market, which he called the âgreatest sandwich shop youâve ever eaten atâ during a 2019 episode of âDiners, Drive-ins and Dives.â While Reid didnât go out to eat upon the teamâs return to Kansas City from winning Super Bowl LVIII in February, he celebrated the previous two at a couple of his go-tos: After Super Bowl LVII, Reid went to Pizza 51 for a mushroom-and-sausage pizza. âAnd a salad,â he said then, âjust to make my chubbiness feel good.â After Super Bowl LIV, Reid went to Q39, where the âAndy Reid specialâ features burnt ends, spiced onion straws and macaroni and cheese. It doesnât appear on the current menu, but you can ask for it. Reid raves about Q39, but he also tells friends this about the barbecue scene here: âEvery one of the places is great âŠ,â he said. âSo you canât go wrong.â Not at Fiorellaâs Jack Stack, Joeâs Kansas City or LCâs, among others. And certainly not at Arthur Bryantâs or Gates, which Reid said often caters for visiting teams at Arrowhead. âThey always have a big platter for me when I come out,â he said. âWhich I take home and just destroy.â |
2024.05.21 20:18 djames2992 My wife (32F) hates my (33M) mother (67F), causing huge issues between us. Is there a fix or is this unfixable?
Hello all -- first time poster here. Sorry for the really long post, I guess part of this is therapeutic for me just to write out.
I've really been struggling recently, as my wife has come to absolutely despise by 67 year old mother, and I'm not sure if there's anything that can fix it.
A little bit of my history. I've always been very close with my family. I grew up in a south Asian household (although I always felt we integrated nicely with a lot of American culture -- both me and my sibling have lived in a large US city our entire lives and consider ourselves American both in culture as well as nationality). However, as in many Asian cultures, respect for elders is extremely important. I always had a parent-child relationship with my parents (meaning that they were in charge, and not interested in being my friend, but rather my mentors and provided invaluable guidance over the years). Both of my parents sacrificed a lot for me and mysibling, but especially my mom who chose to forgo advancing her own career, and to work part time in order to raise my sibling and I. I've always had a good relationship with my mom, although we've had our share of fights over the years (we're both pretty stubborn), but they typically last no more than a 3-5 days on average and then things are completely back to normal. I would say this happens an average of 1-2 times per year at most. I do feel very close with my mom (& my dad as well, but my wife doesn't seem to have any issues with my dad so I'm not focussing on that part). I do believe that much of the success I have achieved in life is directly attributable to the sacrifices my mom made as well as the time she spent raising and teaching me. I have always respected my parents, which is typical of Asian culture. By respect, I mean things like not talking back, valuing their opinions, and trying to make their life easier or happier in small ways (visiting them on weekends, going out to dinner together -- we live roughly 40 minutes apart).
A bit of my wife's history -- she grew up with her parents being divorced from a young age. Both of her parents are wonderful people who I really adore, but they were extremely lenient with her growing up (they were not on top of her with regards to schoolwork, she would talk back to them at times without getting in much trouble, she was able to sneak out of her house as a teen, etc.). These are by no means egregious offenses, and I suspect many kids do the same at that age. However, there was a clear difference in her relationship with her parents -- there was no real enforcement of rules or punishment for breaking rules. Through my lens, it seems that this has manifested as a lack of respect for her own parents, as well as her elders. She mostly has a good relationship with both of her parents, but when she does disagree with them, she talks to them in ways I could never imagine speaking to my own parents (talks back, hangs up on them, etc.). She says that she needs to "put them in their place" at times, which I also find rude. Overall, I would say she grew up much less "family-oriented" than I did, for what it's worth.
My wife is also somewhat of a nomad (mostly not by choice). She moved a few times growing up (within the same state, but different areas), and then went out of state for college, only to leave after 1.5 years and finish at a local state school (in a different state) where her mother lived at the time. Because of this, she has very few close friends, and the ones that she does have are spread out all across the country on different coasts. This is in stark contrast to me. I've been lucky to maintain the same group of friends that I've had since we were 8 or 9 years old. On top of that, most of them have stayed in the same area that we grew up in (where my wife and I now live). I think the lack of a social circle has affected my wife since she moved to my city, but I'm not sure what solution there is for that since there is no city we could live in where she would have a group of close friends or family (her parents live in different states and split time between different states, her 3 closest friends live in 3 different states).
I've known my wife for 8 years and we've been married for 2.5. I love her. She is a great person; she is kind, compassionate, loving, and at her core truly does care deeply about others (though I feel that this does not always come across in the way she talks to her own parents). She's funny, adventurous, and up until recently, I was always happier around her. We were recently blessed with the birth of our son, who is now 11 months old. Our son is the best thing that has ever happened to us, but his arrival seems to have simultaneously strained our relationship in ways I did not anticipate. I knew that the sleep deprivation would be hard, and our lives would change drastically. What I did not envision was a deepening hatred that my wife has developed for my mom.
Prior to the birth of our son, my wife did not have much of an issue with my mom other than thinking she was "needy" for wanting to see myself and my sibling once a week, even if it was just for a dinner (again, we live roughly 40 minutes apart, and my parents are typically willing to drive to us, meet us at a restaurant, or have us over). My mom does tend to be picky with where we eat out (she doesn't eat most meat, and prefers vegetarian options), but that never really bothered me, though it seems to bother my wife that my mom is "getting her way", even though this was at most 1 meal in the week.
I know that my mom can certainly be stubborn and hard to deal with at times, but I know her very well, and I always felt that she was inclusive of my wife, and never did anything that warranted being strongly disliked. The one exception to this was during our son's baby shower. We had planned a large party with a lot of family and friends that my parents hosted (their house is large enough to accomodate a party of that size). During the baby shower, my mom helped arrange catering of food, ordering tables, chairs, tablecloths, and hiring a bartender (my parents also paid for all of this). My wife did not like my mom's taste with regards to tablecloths and chair decorations and she was irritated that my mom wanted to help and be involved in the planning (though to her credit, my wife did not outwardly show this discontent to my mom, though it was certainly made known to me). My wife handled the floral arrangements and other decorative pieces such as a backdrop, and spent a lot of time and effort getting them exactly how she wanted. I kind of sensed that my mom felt that she was being taken for granted and underappreciated by my wife (she did take care and pay for a lot), and my wife felt that my mom was being overbearing with planning, and also felt that my mom was purposefully spiteful (my wife claims that every other member of my family commented on how nice the floral arrangements were, but my mom never did). This culminated in a "fight" where my wife wanted a decorative piece in one part of the yard and my mom wanted it in another part. There was some exchange of words at the time, though I did not witness this. This left my mom feeling that my wife was "disrespectful" and left my wife hating my mom for not honoring her decision about where to place the decorative piece, since this was her baby shower. This led to a very upsetting experience for my wife and I as we really did not enjoy the baby shower at all (although this was not evident to our guests or other family members, as we were able to "fake it"). My wife was particularly upset after the baby shower when we drove home since she felt that it was supposed to be a special day for her, and my mom ruined it, which I mostly agreed with. To her credit, my mom did apologize to both my wife and me the following day, and told us that she had been under a lot of stress with many family members staying at their house, taking care of meals, sleeping arrangements, etc., and her stress got the better of her. I was willing to accept her apology and move on, but my wife has always held a grudge since that time, and feels that the apology wasn't genuine. Again, I've known my mom for a long time and she would rather not apologize at all than do so disingenuously. My wife however insists that she can read my mom better than me, since I'm biased. Nonetheless, we moved forward.
After the birth of our son, my parents and my wife's parents were overjoyed (he is all of their first grandchild). Again, we live near where I grew up so my parents are much closer to us than my wife's parents are. After the birth of our son, my wife's mom rented a place near us for 4 months to help with the baby and chores, etc. I never had any issue with this, even when she would come over multiple times a day, or even unannounced at times (this was not something that bothered me). My parents were (& are) also very eager to spend time with their grandchild, and initially were coming over every other day to see the baby, which then decreased to about twice a week, since he has been 3 months old. My wife has begun having major issues with my parents coming to see our son twice a week now. Perhaps what is most irritating to me is the fact that I anticipated this issue beforehand. I specifically asked my wife when our son was 1 or 2 months old "how often would you be okay with my parents coming to see him?", and her answer was "I would be so happy if it was just twice a week", (which she felt would be a huge improvement over the every other day they were initially coming when our son was a newborn). I assured her that twice a week was very reasonable and she said she'd be happy with that.
Fast forward to now -- my mom comes to visit twice a week for 3-4 hours and my wife says its too much. She says it's suffocating, that she shouldn't have to live her life around my mom seeing our son (which my wife does not, she always tells my mom which days to come, and they are different each week depending on what my wife wants to do), that she feels like she had a kid just for my mom to play with. Again, my mom is never insistent on what days or even times to see our son. She certainly appreciates seeing him regularly, and I always wanted my son to have a close relationship with his grandparents (both sides), as both myself and my wife did growing up. However, my wife's parents do not live near us (and don't come to visit that often). I think this plays a role in terms of her being irritated that my family sees him regularly, but I don't see any solution. Her family is financially able to visit us (very regularly) if they wanted to, but they don't make it a priority. Again, her parents are wonderful people, but they seem to be more interested in their own lives and relationships than they are in forging a deep connection with our son, their grandson (I'm not saying there is anything wrong with it, but it's the opposite of my family who really want to be close with their grandson, even if it's at the expense of time with their own friends).
I should also add that for the past 3 years my wife has not worked. This started prior to us getting married. She left her job because she hated it, and I am lucky to be in a position to financially support us on my own. However, she always told me she would (& wanted to) get a job in a field that she was more interested in, though she has never been able to articulate what that field would be (actually she was adamant that she would have a job before we got married). I tried to encourage her to find fields that appealed to her, even advised her to take risks with entrepreneurship, to see if she could make a career out of something she considers a hobby. I've paid for countless courses, certifications, etc. (90% of which she did not complete -- things like real estate certifications, social media certifications, photography lessons, camera lenses, etc.). Furthermore, I paid for her to see a therapist of her choosing for a few months hoping it would help her gain clarity with regards to what she wants to do career-wise (it did not). All in all, I've probably spent in the neighborhood of 7-8K on online courses, certifications, and she does not have anything to show for it. Once we got pregnant, we agreed that she would take on more of a domestic role (which is what she said she wanted as well, I did not force her into this -- and she was also not doing anything else for work anyway). The point I'm making here is not that I feel she needs to work, it is just that she gets to see our son all the time (it's not like she's going to work and handing our son off to my mom). Also, many times my wife will say "Oh why don't you come on Monday" when we see my mom (which my mom will then do). Then Monday rolls around and my wife is texting me at work all day constantly complaining about how my mom is interacting with our son (she doesn't watch him closely enough, or she doesn't put him in his crib to nap, or she feeds him when she's not supposed to, etc.), how long my mom is staying, how she feels trapped in the house when my mom is there, etc. She basically wants my mom to come over for no more than 2 hours and then leave (again we live about 40 minutes apart).
This issue she has with my mom seeing our son a couple of times a week for a few hours, has started to cause bigger and bigger fights between us. Part of me understands that my wife's lack of her own social circle of close friends, and not having family nearby is contributing to her unhappiness with our current situation. But the other part of me can't help but feel like I've done everything in my power to help, and it feels that she is just complaining about my mom because she's unhappy with where she is in life. I have tried helping her find a career that she would like, I have tried telling her she can remain a stay at home mom if she wants, I have tried getting her a therapist to help her work through her issues, I have tried encouraging her to join mom & baby classes to meet new friends (which she now attends, but hasn't made any real friends during them), I have offered to joint local couples meetups with her to meet new friends if that would make her more comfortable, I have encouraged her to invite the few local friends she does have over for dinner or even go out with them while I watch the baby, I have offered to move to a part of the city that is even further from my parents, and I've even offered to move cities altogether to be closer to her own family (although her family does not reside in just 1 city, they split time between a few). I've also told her to voice her issues to my mom and hash out whatever the issues are, but she says my mom will see it as disrespectful and "make things even more awkward" (which may in fact be true, but in that case I've told her we would just see my mom less, which is what she wants anyway...). Each time I suggest something, I feel that it is met with resistance or some excuse as to why it won't work (for instance when I suggest moving cities, she says no because I'll "use that against her" in the future if we fight). I'm just not sure where I can take it from here. I'm sure couples counseling has to be a part of the solution in some way, but I'm not sure what they are going to be able to offer that I haven't already tried.
I guess I'm just looking for advice. My guess is my wife wants me to just straight up tell my mom she can't come over twice a week anymore (but I could see my wife having a problem even if it was just once a week), for no good reason. My mom has no idea my wife despises her, and me just randomly telling my parents they can't come over anymore for no apparent reason would cause a rift between me & them. I love my parents and they're only getting older. They're not going to live forever, and I would feel awful if I told them they just can't come to see their grandson because my wife doesn't like my mom for no particularly legitimate reason.
Thanks in advance to whoever read through this, and for whatever advice you can provide.
TLDR - I feel like I've bent over backwards to make my wife happy but she still has a major issue with my mom that I don't know how to resolve.

I've really been struggling recently, as my wife has come to absolutely despise by 67 year old mother, and I'm not sure if there's anything that can fix it.
A little bit of my history. I've always been very close with my family. I grew up in a south Asian household (although I always felt we integrated nicely with a lot of American culture -- both me and my sibling have lived in a large US city our entire lives and consider ourselves American both in culture as well as nationality). However, as in many Asian cultures, respect for elders is extremely important. I always had a parent-child relationship with my parents (meaning that they were in charge, and not interested in being my friend, but rather my mentors and provided invaluable guidance over the years). Both of my parents sacrificed a lot for me and mysibling, but especially my mom who chose to forgo advancing her own career, and to work part time in order to raise my sibling and I. I've always had a good relationship with my mom, although we've had our share of fights over the years (we're both pretty stubborn), but they typically last no more than a 3-5 days on average and then things are completely back to normal. I would say this happens an average of 1-2 times per year at most. I do feel very close with my mom (& my dad as well, but my wife doesn't seem to have any issues with my dad so I'm not focussing on that part). I do believe that much of the success I have achieved in life is directly attributable to the sacrifices my mom made as well as the time she spent raising and teaching me. I have always respected my parents, which is typical of Asian culture. By respect, I mean things like not talking back, valuing their opinions, and trying to make their life easier or happier in small ways (visiting them on weekends, going out to dinner together -- we live roughly 40 minutes apart).
A bit of my wife's history -- she grew up with her parents being divorced from a young age. Both of her parents are wonderful people who I really adore, but they were extremely lenient with her growing up (they were not on top of her with regards to schoolwork, she would talk back to them at times without getting in much trouble, she was able to sneak out of her house as a teen, etc.). These are by no means egregious offenses, and I suspect many kids do the same at that age. However, there was a clear difference in her relationship with her parents -- there was no real enforcement of rules or punishment for breaking rules. Through my lens, it seems that this has manifested as a lack of respect for her own parents, as well as her elders. She mostly has a good relationship with both of her parents, but when she does disagree with them, she talks to them in ways I could never imagine speaking to my own parents (talks back, hangs up on them, etc.). She says that she needs to "put them in their place" at times, which I also find rude. Overall, I would say she grew up much less "family-oriented" than I did, for what it's worth.
My wife is also somewhat of a nomad (mostly not by choice). She moved a few times growing up (within the same state, but different areas), and then went out of state for college, only to leave after 1.5 years and finish at a local state school (in a different state) where her mother lived at the time. Because of this, she has very few close friends, and the ones that she does have are spread out all across the country on different coasts. This is in stark contrast to me. I've been lucky to maintain the same group of friends that I've had since we were 8 or 9 years old. On top of that, most of them have stayed in the same area that we grew up in (where my wife and I now live). I think the lack of a social circle has affected my wife since she moved to my city, but I'm not sure what solution there is for that since there is no city we could live in where she would have a group of close friends or family (her parents live in different states and split time between different states, her 3 closest friends live in 3 different states).
I've known my wife for 8 years and we've been married for 2.5. I love her. She is a great person; she is kind, compassionate, loving, and at her core truly does care deeply about others (though I feel that this does not always come across in the way she talks to her own parents). She's funny, adventurous, and up until recently, I was always happier around her. We were recently blessed with the birth of our son, who is now 11 months old. Our son is the best thing that has ever happened to us, but his arrival seems to have simultaneously strained our relationship in ways I did not anticipate. I knew that the sleep deprivation would be hard, and our lives would change drastically. What I did not envision was a deepening hatred that my wife has developed for my mom.
Prior to the birth of our son, my wife did not have much of an issue with my mom other than thinking she was "needy" for wanting to see myself and my sibling once a week, even if it was just for a dinner (again, we live roughly 40 minutes apart, and my parents are typically willing to drive to us, meet us at a restaurant, or have us over). My mom does tend to be picky with where we eat out (she doesn't eat most meat, and prefers vegetarian options), but that never really bothered me, though it seems to bother my wife that my mom is "getting her way", even though this was at most 1 meal in the week.
I know that my mom can certainly be stubborn and hard to deal with at times, but I know her very well, and I always felt that she was inclusive of my wife, and never did anything that warranted being strongly disliked. The one exception to this was during our son's baby shower. We had planned a large party with a lot of family and friends that my parents hosted (their house is large enough to accomodate a party of that size). During the baby shower, my mom helped arrange catering of food, ordering tables, chairs, tablecloths, and hiring a bartender (my parents also paid for all of this). My wife did not like my mom's taste with regards to tablecloths and chair decorations and she was irritated that my mom wanted to help and be involved in the planning (though to her credit, my wife did not outwardly show this discontent to my mom, though it was certainly made known to me). My wife handled the floral arrangements and other decorative pieces such as a backdrop, and spent a lot of time and effort getting them exactly how she wanted. I kind of sensed that my mom felt that she was being taken for granted and underappreciated by my wife (she did take care and pay for a lot), and my wife felt that my mom was being overbearing with planning, and also felt that my mom was purposefully spiteful (my wife claims that every other member of my family commented on how nice the floral arrangements were, but my mom never did).

2024.05.21 20:18 neptunexj No regulatory response fee ordering from restaurant directly
Doordash enforces $5 of regulatory response fee in my city if I order from the Doordash app. Today I ordered delivery from Panda express directly, the tracking shows it's still delivered by Doordash, but there wasn't a regulatory response fee. Plus the lower price ordering from the restaurant website directly, I ended up paying $10 less in total for a $25 meal.
I'm happy with this result but wondering is it a loophole?

In Spain specifically, most local eateries will not insist upon an advanced booking - particularly for lunchtime meals or during off-peak hours. Here are three tips that could help: Look up reviews online â they often indicate if reservations are recommended Check out the restaurant website â this should have more information about their policies Give them a call directly â speaking to staff members might give you the clearest insight into their practices Ultimately though, thereâs no need to worry unduly about making bookings since Barcelona has so much delicious food and friendly service readily available!

The average cost per person for a meal at a restaurant in Barcelona can vary depending on the type of establishment and food chosen. Generally speaking, however, diners can expect to pay anywhere between: âŹ15 - 20 for an economical lunch or dinner âŹ25 - 40 for mid-range meals âŹ50+ for fine dining experiences It's possible to enjoy delicious Catalan cuisine without breaking your budget; many eateries offer good value sets menus that include starter, main course & dessert from around âŹ20/person. For those looking to save even more money but still eat well, there are numerous tapas bars offering small plates at relatively low prices.

Would love any feedback!") | My main concern are the gaps in my resume. I left as Data Science Lead in March 2020, covid hit, an offer for Founding Senior Data Engineer was rescinded, then I kind of scrambled. Things kind of went downhill, I took time off for mental health reasons, then went traveling and worked on personal projects, while having a couple of contracting gigs. Do I even explain this in a cover letter? Does it matter? submitted by Ballsfor11days to EngineeringResumes [link] [comments] The other thing is I feel kind of like a fraud, despite always getting rave reviews from managers and peers. Like the stuff I worked on isn't cutting edge enough, or maybe I'm not describing it as I should. This resume always got me employment, but I feel the game changed now, and I have to step it up. Also, are companies 3, 5, and 6 even necessary?

2024.05.21 19:32 Federal_Buy1213 Black customers
Okay, so before I begin this is not intended to be racist at all even though it may come off this way. I love black American culture and I support a lot of black owned businesses. But I am having an issue with black customers. So I work in telecommunications and I also work in a fast food restaurant (for fun). Idk what it is but the rudest customers Iâve dealt with or the neediest ones are black customers. They also seem to have this sense of entitlement that really gets me bent. Like when I talk to them over the phone, when they arenât getting what they want theyâll hang up in your face, they talk with a snarky attitude as if I did something to offend them. Basically what Iâm saying is they donât seem to have the ability to have a professional dialogue. They will talk to other people while im trying to help them. They will quit literally treat you like shit. Again I know every race has their disadvantages too. But by far black Americans are the rudest customers to experience. In the food industry itâs even worse, when they pull to the drive through window they have their seat all the way back and park far from the window and will extend their hand and I still canât reach. This happen much more often. They constantly say âI want my food freshâ or âmy shit better be freshâ which I totally understand, I want my food fresh too but thereâs way better ways of saying that than to bluntly say it in a rude or condescending way. Itâs like they arenât taught how to talk to people. But again i know every race and ethnicity has their bad apples but by far they have been the rudest people to deal with. One time we were out of strawberry Fanta and orange Fanta because the vendor, and that day and Iâm so serious we were called âbitch ass n****â or âyall ghettoâ or just all kinds of names and attitude. Like one said âdamn yall jus outta errthang?â Like no maâam we are just out of the Fanta drinks but we have everything else. So I started basically getting attitudes back and I grew up in an inner city school so u canât go to them and not know how to fight, so since I know how to fight I started catching attitudes back with them, and when u match their energy they be so ready to get to jumping. None of it makes sense to me and it makes me so upset because my friend group 8 of the the 10 of us are black and it took a couple years to get them out of the habit of treating customer service folks bad and now they treat them good. And the thing is black people are the funniest people on the planet canât change my mind on that, when we get the non rude ones, they are so chill and nice. Had one guy who was listening to a song most of us in the back fuck with. And since thereâs a speaker in the back so everyone can hear the orders as they are being said they could hear the music, so that night we were super busy and short staffed and bro was cooo and asked us if we had any song request. He had subs so it was fun. Bro was saying âyes sirâ and âthank youâ and even said âif yall are able too can yall make my fries fresh, if you can make some without saltâ like fuck yeah imma make sure everything fresh cause the way u fucked with us. But anywho hope this isnât taken bad, just wanted to rant about it and maybe have someone kinda give their experience or even an explanation why they are this way?
