2024.05.22 02:20 CyanideLovesong Speculations on Klaus Schwab 'stepping back from executive role'
Klaus Schwab is 'stepping back from his executive role' in the WEF ( https://www.cnbc.com/2024/05/21/world-economic-forum-davos-founder-klaus-schwab-to-step-back-from-executive-role.html )
He was used at the end of his position in a very strange way. All those terrible quotes and seeing him looking like an evil Darth Vader type... that was really strange.
I never could figure out how making WEF seem so villainous served their goals...
Now it's obvious they knew he could be used that way since he would be out before long anyway. But what was the point of it?
I've always speculated that the complete and total absurdity associated with everything related to "Covid" and the push for the vaccines was so they would target a very specific demographic:
Here were some clues:
It's not. This is the sad truth no matter how upset it makes anyone. It is what it is, and we were all attacked from within by our own governments...
And there's something critical about the way Klaus Schwab intentionally played the part of a cartoon evil villain. They didn't cast him that way and dress him up like a Space Invader for nothing. That played a role in this psychological operation -- it's just hard to tell precisely what.
For those of us who pay attention, it will likely become clear later -- as most people (from the first list) are caught up in the next Current Thing. Those who haven't yet succumbed to the long term effects of what was done to them. One of the most profitable mass poisonings in history.
(You may have noticed Pfizer & Moderna heavily investing in treatments for cancer and heart problems. This is no coincidence.)
PS. For the coincidence theorists out there -- don't forget that in the court of law people are convicted based on 'coincidences' and 'circumstantial evidence' all the time. Here in California juries are ordered to treat circumstantial evidence on the same level as direct evidence. When a series of coincidences add up to form a pattern -- they aren't coincidences anymore. And we're WAY past that point now.
But will they ever be held accountable? No, the naive & weak who allowed (and even encouraged) them to do this would rather stand in their defense than to admit they were wrong and hold them accountable. And that is probably why they were targeted in the first place. "Useless eaters" as Klaus Schwab's right hand man called him. (Their words, not mine.)

I've always speculated that the complete and total absurdity associated with everything related to "Covid" and the push for the vaccines was so they would target a very specific demographic:
- Gullible/naive people
- Unintelligent people
- Follower types
- People with no backbone or ability to resist peer pressure
- People who would harm themselves and their own families for 'the greater good'
- People who would turn against their own kind
- Weak people unable to withstand hardship
- Addicted consumers who would shoot up a needle directly in their body in order to keep consuming nonstop
Here were some clues:
- Widespread censorship of citizen thoughts and opinions
- Widespread censorship (and worse) for people in the science/medical community
- Constant assertion of easily disprovable lies
- Insane & bizarre measures to coerce people
- Economic things that made no sense
- Sending sick people as young as 20 into nursing homes even though the hospitals had already been emptied (and then censoring anyone who showed others that the hospitals were empty)
- Blatantly exaggerating risk in obvious ways (testing only sick people in order to claim a high IFR)
- Pushing the PCR test to a whopping 45+ cycles (a test that will detect anything with a high enough cycle threshold)
- Making sure we knew that the people on the inside weren't following their own orders (elite/politicians had large unmasked parties, non-stop footage of authorities not wearing masks but pulling them up for the camera and off right after, etc., newscasters peddling fear vacationing maskless around crowded pools in Florida and other places that reopened or never shut down) etc.
- Pushing unhealthy lifestyles, division, and hate during a time we were supposedly in "the worst pandemic of our lives"
- Using expected deaths to trick people into thinking the death count was unexpectedly high. (~80 years ago began a massive global ~25 year baby boom. You can't have a baby boom without a death boom later on -- it's simple math. Anyone that explained this was shamed, censored, and banned.)
- Intentionally death protocols -- separating people from their families and then administrating medications that killed them
- Blocking treatments that appeared to work
- Encouraging people to go out in the streets and protest in crowds while simultaneously shaming others for stepping outdoors
- Arresting people for harmless activities, like walking their dog, being alone at a beach, or fishing at a pond, etc.
- Lying about the shots being "approved" when they never were, and when called on it they said, "Well the approved shots are the same as what's being given to people so that's good enough!" Without telling them that they would be excluded from the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program(!) ... And for the few who bothered to look it up, they claimed there was a "Countermeasures Program" to
- Bold, blatant lies, coverups, and censorship with regard to vaccine side efficacy, adverse events, and death.
It's not. This is the sad truth no matter how upset it makes anyone. It is what it is, and we were all attacked from within by our own governments...
And there's something critical about the way Klaus Schwab intentionally played the part of a cartoon evil villain. They didn't cast him that way and dress him up like a Space Invader for nothing. That played a role in this psychological operation -- it's just hard to tell precisely what.

2024.05.22 02:19 SpicySilverware PC Booting Extremely Slow
Hello everyone! I have a question I hope someone can help me with. For reference, I built this PC in 2020 and have never had issues with it until now.
Today I installed some new fans for my CPU cooler because I mistakenly broke my previous CPU fan. I took off my CPU cooler, took out the cpu to remove the thermal paste, and put everything back together with the new fans. Only thing that I may have done wrong is allow the CPU fan metal bracket to lightly graze the motherboard. Could I have shorted something?
Upon turning it on, my computer boots EXTREMELY slow now. I have an nvme SSD as my boot drive, so normally it takes 10-20 seconds. Now it takes 2-4 minutes.
I ran CineBench and tried other applications and everything seems to work just fine besides the boot time. Does anyone know what may be causing this and what the fix could be?
I reset bios to default, FYI. This didn’t seem to resolve the issue. The SSD is still the boot drive according to BIOS. See pics for parts lists.
I’d GREATLY appreciate help with this. This computer is my baby.
Thank you so much in advance.

2024.05.22 02:18 eunkco Late FAFSA Package for Transfers
I honestly think it’s beyond ridiculous how late UCI is in giving us our financial aid package for the upcoming year, especially for us transfers. It completely messes up our housing applications and SIRs and everything. I already SIRed and applied for an ACC room so i’m basically secured, the only thing missing is my FAFSA package offer & I’m here being paranoid about it, it feels so unfair. Especially when all the other schools have already sent me their offers but I’m here waiting for the school I committed to, to provide some sort of financial aid reassurance.

2024.05.22 02:17 Calebn_0102 Moody Short-Tempered Supervisor
Back in October of last year, I was able to find (after a challenging search) a supervisor that was able to take me on as their trainee. I got officially licensed as a trainee in January of this year, and have been getting lots of work from this guy. He purposefully overbooks work as the market is uncertain right now to stay busy. He has a certain way he wants these reports written, and I have done my best to conform to the style that he likes. Back in March, I was sick upon returning from military duty (even ended up in the ER and he let me know I could take a couple of days to recover before I came back to work. At that time I had over five appraisal assignments on my desk (even though I’ve only been a licensed trainee just for a couple of months). After those two days, he called me, cussing me over the phone, asking me why several of the appraisal assignments that I was assigned were not finished yet. Then he told me that I am not going to ‘fuck up’ his company like the ‘last guy he fired back in January did’. This really threw me off, but he told me he doesn’t hold grudges and I apologized profusely, and moved on. Today an assignment due (that I had finished for several days, with the exception of lot photos being taken) (Supervisor said he would do this, it is in writing in an email). when he called this morning and asked when he was able to review this, I told him everything was done except for the pictures, and that if I needed to drive up there to get those photos if he didn’t get a chance to. He told me he didn’t have a chance to take the photos but that he would drive up there to the property and get them today. Well, he gets back to the office to review the report and says I did a shitty job and that is one of the worst reports I’ve ever written (although I know I did a good job). He always encourages us to call the client to get an ARV on their new construction or renovation homes, and to heavily consider that when developing our opinion of value. I was able to develop the opinion of value that both supports the clients ARV and lines up with new construction comparables that are close by. He sends me an email and tells me that he had to rewrite the entire report and that this wasted his entire day and that he is very upset with me, this is not allowed to happen again. I was very confused, so I asked what was wrong with the report, and he told me that I waited until last minute to tell him that we didn’t have pictures (although he said he would take them???). I proceeded to ask what else was wrong with the report so that way I don’t make the same mistakes again, and his response was that ‘the entire report was wrong and then I waited till the last minute and then I need to move on and learn from my mistakes’. I have almost 300 training hours logged with this guy and just need to get him to sign the forms to submit them to the state. I just wanted to know, is this normal? I know this profession can be tough, but is this how trainees are usually treated? Just looking for some insight and encouragement. I just had a new baby with my wife, work three jobs, and this has been a very hard day.

2024.05.22 02:17 FrenchStephy Kamen Rider 555 20th: Paradise Regained interviews part 2: Shinichiro Shirakura (Producer) and Ryuuta Tasaki (Director)
 | Part 1: Kento Handa (Takumi Inui) and Yuria Haga (Mari Sonoda) submitted by FrenchStephy to KamenRider [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/fafa1xy6bv1d1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=7a66307c652ce75d4cbf4e46dfae53e0b7ea4ee9 First of all, could you tell us about the background behind the planning of Kamen Rider 555? Shirakura: Until the previous work, Kamen Rider Ryuki, I didn't think that the Kamen Rider series would continue as it has now. Following Moero!! Robocon, we aired Kamen Rider Kuuga and Kamen Rider Agito, but that time slot was originally the broadcast time slot for Metal Heroes. So at the time, I was thinking "we'll continue Kamen Rider for at least one more series, and then go back to Metal Heroes or Kabutack-type series". However, Ryuki became a hit, and I thought "maybe we should continue the Kamen Rider series in the future", so we created 555. So, with a focus on going back to basics, we set up a modern enemy organization called Smart Brain to replace Shocker, and the Kamen Rider side also became centered around "a very strong single protagonist". Tasaki: It's true that at the time, I had a feeling that "this series will probably continue", something I hadn't felt up until Ryuki. I think 555 had many aspects that set the standard for subsequent works, such as the close-up action direction of the item's gimmick. Tasaki: 555 feels like a further evolution of Ryuki's directing of (focusing the camera on) setting the card and unleashing the special move. Shirakura: It feels good to see the process of replacing the Mission Memory every time. I think that's a clever piece of direction. How did you come up with the idea of creating a drama that transcends the good and evil with the three Kamen Riders and the three Orphnochs? Shirakura: During a discussion with (Toshiki) Inoue-dai-sensei about "returning to basics", he said it was common knowledge that "the original first Kamen Rider was originally one of the Shocker monsters, but that isn't really portrayed in the series". He felt that the relationship between the many Shocker monsters and Kamen Rider, who's a grasshopper man, should've been depicted more in the drama. However, when Dai-sensei said "I'm going to write three Orphnochs as the other main characters", I thought "Are you sure you can do that?" (laughs) Tasaki: Agito and Ryuki didn't really depict the story of kaijin, they were simply treated as monsters. Therefore, 555, which depicts the story of the monster side, was breaking new ground, and I personally looked forward to each script written by Inoue-san. In the second half of 555, it was revealed that Takumi Inui was also an Orphnoch. Tasaki: The first time we revealed this was in Kamen Rider 555: Paradise Lost, but the scene where Takumi transforms into the Wolf Orphnoch elicited actual screams of surprise from the audience. Even though the first Kamen Rider was also a cyborg of Shocker. I felt that the basics of Kamen Rider were forgotten because of the illusion that "justice is right and evil is wrong". Shirakura: It was decided from the beginning that Takumi would be an Orphnoch, and hints were shown many times in the series from around the time Keitarou appeared. We made basic settings such as "only Orphnochs can use the (Faiz) transformation belt", and from my point of view, I was thinking "is it okay to spoil things like this?". But the people watching at the time didn't seem to notice much. Even in an interview back then, when I said "it was decided from the start", people didn't believe me and were asking me "Are you sure?" (laughs) Tasaki: We were actually surprised that people were so surprised (laughs). A large number of fans also participated as extras in Paradise Lost. Shirakura: We decided that with 10,000 people, we could fill Saitama Super Arena, so we recruited extras from the general public. Before 555, we had to send round-trip postcards to apply for extras, but if we had to collect such a large number of extras, it would have taken a huge amount of money to send back the replies. But around the time of 555, I realized that I could use the Internet for recruitment. However, at that time there were no cloud servers like there are today, so we built our own powerful server within Toei. Tasaki: The server often went down every time the broadcast ended, so I thought it would be difficult if there were a flood of applications. Shirakura: We received over 90,000 applications and 11,000 people participated, despite the harsh condition of "9-hour endurance filming". Since that many people would gather at Saitama Super Arena, we went around to the nearby shops and other places to say hello in advance. We even asked JR (Japan Railways Group) if they could increase the number of trains, but they turned down the extra service (laughs). Wasn't it difficult to shoot with such a large number of people? Shirakura: We shot scenes that required a large number of people in the morning, assuming that some people might not be able to endure the long filming or might get bored and leave halfway through the shoot. However, most of them stayed until the end. Tasaki: I think the announcement that there would be a greeting from the cast at the end was also effective. During filming, we had two cameramen enter the audience seats and take documentary-style shots of the extras' expressions. The result was an uplifting video reminiscent of the documentary film Festival of Nations about the Berlin Olympics. The final episode of the TV series ended with the King of Orphnoch not completely destroyed, and a development that hinted at Takumi's death. Was this flow decided from the beginning? Shirakura: It was decided from the beginning that Takumi would be an Orphnoch, so I didn't think of an ending where he would "wipe out the Orphnochs and everyone is happy". I think that in Dai-sensei's mind, the moment the character Keitarou Kikuchi was born, he was determined to make him the goal (of the story). Keitarou is an ordinary person among the Kamen Rider heroes, the heroine Mari, and the three Orphnochs. Depicting the story of "the most ordinary person being the greatest" with such depth that it's like completely devoid of mediocrity is Dai-sensei's aesthetic, and what makes him amazing. In this issue, we also spoke to Kento Handa and Yuria Haga. What were your impressions of them back then? Shirakura: Handa-kun was only 18 years old at the time, but he already was very dignified. Before filming started, he was still living in Kobe, so he came to Shinjuku and we met. As we walked through the streets of Shinjuku, he explained to me "That's the ○○ Building, and that's the XX Building, and it has such a history". When I asked him "You know a lot, have you already been here many times?", he replied "this is my first time in Shinjuku", which surprised me (laughs). Even back then, I was a huge building fanatic. Tasaki: Yuria-chan has a huge fear of heights, and she was also afraid of going up to places even a little high. I remember it very well because I have never seen anyone else so afraid of heights. Both of them said "Back then, Director Tasaki didn't get mad at us". Tasaki: I certainly don't remember being angry at them. But the reason they don't think they've been scolded is because that time Go Ayano (Aki Sawada/Spider Orphnoch) was scolded by director (Hidenori) Ishida has become so famous that they probably were simply thinking "we're not getting scolded that much" (laughs). Shirakura: In order to train his actors, Ishida-san is acting like he is "flying into a rage" in a very easy-to-understand way. But Director Tasaki doesn't get angry easily, so maybe they just didn't notice (laughs). In fact, when Director Tasaki's language becomes more polite on set, it's proof that he's angry. Something like "the director is ending his sentences with -desu! He's infuriated!!!" (laughs). Tasaki: They were still teenagers at the time, so there was no point in getting angry at them. But I often got angry at (Mitsuru) Karahashi (Naoya Kaido). He's the type of person who wants to be scolded (laughs). Toshiki Inoue also appeared in the final episode as a construction site supervisor. Tasaki: He had an aura that ordinary people don't have, and he was good at acting. But we've had to do several retakes. When he appeared on Avatarou Sentai Donbrothers, he talked about his memories of appearing on 555. Shirakura: He said "It's tough being an actor because you have to wait a long time" (laughs). He also said "Directors are on set longer than that, so you'd get even more bored, right?", so if he hadn't had that experience on set back then, he might have said "I want to be a director, too!" one day (laughs). Now, let me ask you about the new work Kamen Rider 555 20th: Paradise Regained. What was the background behind this project? Shirakura: It all started when I heard that Handa-kun, Haga-san, and (Kouhei) Murakami-kun wanted to do it. If they wanted to do it, there was no doubt that they would appear. What's more, Director Tasaki and Dai-sensei were both working on Donbrothers, so I didn't have to gather all the staff (laughs). After Donbrothers ended, I directly said (to Dai Sensei) "Next is 555!" However, I was worried about what would happen if he still had a Donbrothers feel in him, and that Takumi Inui became like Tarou Momoi (laughs). However, he flipped the switch perfectly and wrote a story that was truly 555-like. In fact, I might have had more of Donbrothers left in me (laughs). Tasaki: No, this work was made possible because Shirakura-san had 555 in him. Personally, I went into Paradise Regained following the flow from Donbrothers, and I was able to get into the process smoothly because I was able to speak frankly with Inoue-san. What were you conscious of as it was a sequel to a TV series? Shirakura: Our goal is to create a work that satisfies those who have been fans since the beginning, while also being worth watching for those who have only recently discovered 555. Handa-kun and other cast members, as well as the people who watched the show on TV at the time, have aged 20 years. I also wanted to give meaning to that time. As long as it's a filmed work, there's no point in simply having a reunion. "xx years anniversary" or "the cast wants to do it" might be triggers, but they alone are not reasons to move forward with a project. In this case, it also has a meaning as a one-off work called Paradise Regained. Tasaki: I thought about whether to make it an "encore after the final chapter", or an "entrance to a new chapter" like Kamen Rider OOO 10th: Resurrection Core Medal. Having said that, it's also boring to make people who watch it get it too early. I tried to make sure that the story unfolded in a certain way so that by the time you watched it to the end, you would know in which category this story falls into. Shirakura: 555 is originally a story about boys and girls whose future as humans was cut off and who become Orphnochs, and boys and girls who continue to live through life without becoming Orphnochs. But now, 20 years later, they are no longer boys and girls. That's why this sequel to 555 wasn't just a rehash, but became a story about adults. Tasaki: The "story of boys and girls" depicted in 555 is played by Rena (Kuruma) and the other new characters. Though writing them in was also to declare that "Takumi and co. are no longer boys and girls", thanks to them, the 555 identity was maintained. The Faiz Phone and Faiz Driver have also been updated to match the times. Shirakura: I've been told by various people, including Bandai, that if I were to make 555 now, the transformation item would be a smartphone. In that case, I felt like I had do a new 555 work before a brand-new Kamen Rider who transforms with a smartphone came out on Sundays (laughs). Did Shirakura-san give any specific orders? Shirakura: I left the story to Dai-sensei, so my orders were for the structure of the story. How to depict the 20 years. And I don't mean how many years after the story is set, but how to incorporate the fact that the actors and audience are 20 years older compared to back then. How do you feel about the cast compared to 20 years ago? Tasaki: As expected, everyone has grown, and each character has matured inside them like wine. That Handa-kun and co. took the initiative and said they wanted to do it means that they must have allowed Takumi, Mari, and Masato to live with them for the past 20 years. So when it came to preparing their roles, we didn't have much to ask them, and they were able to play the aged Takumi, Mari, and Masato in their own unique way. Karahashi also did some strange things behind the scenes, like making the T-shirts and aprons for the costumes himself (laughs). Were any of the young cast members who appeared in this work fans of 555 back then? Shirakura: Rui Yanagawa, who plays Hisao, has been watching the show since he was a child. He said that Delta was his favorite Kamen Rider. Tasaki: You have to really like 555 to be a Delta fan (laughs). Shirakura: Also, he wasn't a cast member, but there happened to be another drama being filmed nearby at the time of filming, and the actor who played the lead role in that drama came to watch. When I asked him about it, he said he was a big fan of 555 and was thrilled to see the real Takumi and Mari (laughs). Why do you think 555 continues to be so popular? Tasaki: I don't know why, because each work is like my own child to me. Shirakura: I think the character of Takumi Inui, played by Kento Handa, was very appealing. And every character in the show was acting weird, either intentionally or unconsciously. In the first place, it's weird to write 555 and read it as Faiz (laughs). Despite these strange aspects, Bandai created extremely stylish toy packaging, made a special light-emitting suit made for filming, and was extremely particular about the opening video. I don't think this work would have been made under normal circumstances (laughs). There was a moment when I suddenly calmed down and thought "is this really going to be okay?" But when I saw the scene in the opening where Takumi started walking away after getting his hair cut by Mari, I felt the extraordinary aura of the main character. That's when I became confident that "this is going to work!!!" Lastly, please give a message to the fans who are waiting for the new movie. Tasaki: In addition to the cast and staff from the TV series, Action Director Sanshirou Wada and Kota Nakamura, who was in charge of filming extras for Paradise Lost as a camera assistant at the time, were in charge of cinematography. New powers have also been added. This is a work filmed by such members, so please look forward to it. Shirakura: Rather than "please go watch", I want to say "you have to go watch". And the more you love 555, the more you may be unable to see the screen due to tears. I too lost the ability to see halfway through watching it. However, it was made so that you can enjoy it even if you don't know 555. I would be happy if you could watch the TV series or Paradise Lost after watching this movie. |

2024.05.22 02:15 Mindless-Avocado1636 AITAH - Is me asking for transparency in my relationship actually me trying to control it?
I'm 39(F) and my partner is a 50(M). We've been together for 3 years, lived together for 2. I suffered severe childhood trauma and I began therapy 9 years ago to address my issues, etc. It has helped tremendously, but I still live with a lot of anxiety and PTSD episodes. I was up front about all of this when he and I began dating.
After we moved in together, I stopped drinking completely. I found that alcohol has more of a negative effect on me than a positive one. I never asked my partner to stop drinking. I told him it wasn't necessary and he was free to make his own choices. He rarely drinks now, but will go out to the bar every once in a while.
We have separate bank accounts, but I pretty much manage our financials so I have access to his online account. I also keep track and organize all of our receipts. A few weeks ago, I was sorting through his receipts and found one for the bar and I didn't know that he had gone out. When I found, I asked "Oh, when did you stop at the bar?" and he said "a couple of nights ago to see pictures of so & so's new baby, talked with the owners." and we had a simple, normal conversation about it.
Two nights ago, I scheduled a pickup order from the grocery store and he was going to stop on the way home from work to get it. They were behind and had to delay our order. He called to let me know that, but I missed the call. I called him back a few minutes later, no answer. I texted him and told him that I had just called , but he didn't answer and to let the store know that we would just pick the order up in the morning. His next text read "I didn't get a call. I'm heading out now. Be home soon. All of the pickup lines are complete full."
Which makes it sound like he's sitting in the store parking lot, no?
He gets home, I ask him how his day was, the usual.
Yesterday, I am balancing our accounts and I notice a charge from the bar on the night he was supposed to pickup the order. I texted him and asked "Where were you when you sent the last text?" He replied, "having a drink the bar, waiting for you to call me back."
We share a vehicle and I had to pick him up from work last night. On our way home, I asked him, "Why do I always find out about you going to the bar after it happens and never directly from you?" Which led us into a huge fight where he accused me of being controlling, he didn't know that he needed to ask permission to go have a drink after work, and that I was insecure for getting upset by it.
I tell him pretty much everything about my day. I ask him trivial questions about his all of the time, like "What did you have for lunch?" because I like to know stupid details like that. I just like having a conversation with my partner about anything and everything. Am I wrong to get upset about him not telling me about him going to the bar? If it's not a big deal that he goes, why keep it from me? Is this me trying to control the relationship?

2024.05.22 02:15 Akanezuki Computer Engineering graduate trying to find a job
I graduated last July 2023. Given the breadth of the things I learned in college, I'm not sure how to structure my resume for entry-level jobs in my field. I never had any work experience outside of my course requirements and personal projects mainly due to COVID-19 and all. Unfortunately, I haven't had any luck with interviews after around 100+ applications. I'd been job hunting in between traveling around the US and other countries for the past several months. I'm not sure if it's something to do with my resume, the fact that I graduated from a university in the Philippines, or both. Any feedback or suggestions are welcome, thanks!

2024.05.22 02:14 Silver_School_9803 I (24F) been super overwhelmed / mentally out of it this week; am I crazy for wanting a little extra support from my BF (25M)?
I really never know how much context to give these stories to get a well rounded picture lol. Me and my boyfriend have been dating for 2 years, 24F & 25M.
He has a white picket fence life. Still lives with parents (we’re getting a place together soon). Has a really great job. Good relationship with siblings and parents, relatively no qualms besides chronic depression. I’ve had a diff up bringing. Broken home, moved out at 20/ have funded everything myself since 16, bumpy relationship with mom/ dad, good job(s), lives alone, blah blah blah. Diagnosed & medicated for bipolar, chronic anxiety and depression, etc., You get the picture.
To start it off, I’ve always struggled with depression/ anxiety but for the most part am super high functioning and medicated. I’ve gained a lot of weight from one of my meds so I’m slowly tapering off of it and I’ve literally just fallen into a deep depression. Go figure.
He’s also struggled with depression/ body image issues. Both of us have really worked to not let our mental interfere with us. Something we’ve really struggled with is his need to be in the gym for like 3 hrs a night 5 days a week religiously. If the schedule goes out of whack he gets down. Reddit users are pretty harsh but this is a pretty reasonable issue and I do empathize with him for it. I can’t imagine missing one thing a day and have my entire week thrown off kinda thing (I mean I can but you get the point). And no he’s not cheating lol. Sometimes I’ll post something related to the whole gym issue on Reddit and everyone’s like he’s gotta have another girl!!! Lol.
So to put it plainly; in addition to my meds issue, I’m moving. I’m so overwhelmed because yanno, mental illness plus something as chaotic as moving is ehhhh. I find solace in peace at home. I’m a very big introvert. And my home is anything but peaceful right now lol. I also have severe and chronic back pain, have since I was like 16 bc scoliosis, then recent weight gain, and my work desk not being ergonomically at the moment— so these back issues makes anything I want to do in life harder and adds to my bleh. Add in the fact I’ve tried many mattresses and finally had to bite the bullet and spend FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS on one (tempur). Just as I got ahead of my bills too. Fml. I work two jobs (doesn’t help the back pain). And I got rejected from a job I really wanted because of bullshit. I know the other candidate and she’s got no where’s near the experience I did. I can handle job rejection it’s apart of life but this one stung a lot because I was confident and so sure I blew them out of the water (I know someone in the department so that’s why I have all this extra info). So to lose it for virtually no reason besides the systems rigged, is fucking annoying. 3 (of the 8) people on my team at work are on extended medical leave and work has been CRAZY. I work in oncology and the doctors are so far up my ass because we’re behind despite me working OD overtime. Anyways. I went on a rant of all the shitty things rn bc I have a point to make lol.
Idk. I just expected my boyfriend to be a bit more helpful tangibly. Make my life easier. Help me with something. He’s super supportive verbally but like idk I just expect something more than what he’s giving me. Like take a day off of the gym and say hey babe ik you’re under stress let me help you. I’ll do your dishes. I’ll help you pack. Anything really.
He is helping me move and I’m grateful for that, obviously, but I just want to know if I’m taking out my frustrations on him because she’s the closest to me or am I reasonable for wishing he’d drop his life for mine?
Also note he’s taking Thursday- Tuesday to stay with me and help me settle in. I think what sparked this is because today he stopped by to go on a walk with me and despite me being in my pot of misery, he still went to gym. Seemed insensitive. I want to be babied. Ok maybe this is a daddy issue thing?
Pls no advice on compromising. I can think of a million ways to compromise and make both parties happy, I just really want to know if me being upset is valid. I haven’t brought the issue to him yet just because I don’t want to shit on his parade just bc my life rn is <. I really am open to constructive criticism so if I’m being a diva please tell me I need to hear it. My head is not on straight given everything which is why I’m here wondering do I even have a reason to be upset or am I being a lot.
And like we all know Reddit is a cruel harsh world but just try to take it easy on me rn I’m fragile lol.
TL;DR! Am I unreasonable for wanting my boyfriend to be a lot more helpful than he currently is because my life sucks right now?

2024.05.22 02:13 Significant-Seat3085 AITAH for not agreeing to take a parenting class
My (32 M) best friend (33 M) is having a baby. Me and my wife and him and his wife are best friends and have done everything together for the past 3-4 years. Me and him have been friends since 2nd grade.
They are due in about 2 months. Well I was out to eat with my friend during lunch today as our offices are a few blocks from each other. He mentioned to me how his wife wanted us to take parenting classes if we were gonna be around the baby. I guess she is making both grandparents take parenting classes as well, mind you the two sets of GPA’s have a combined nine kids. I asked if he would pay for it, he said that wasn’t the plan.
He then went on to say how his wife has set a pretty hard line in the sand stating that if you don’t go to one of these classes you won’t be around the baby.
I told him I won’t be doing it, and when I told my wife she actually hollared and said, “well this is easy, if she’s gonna be that crazy I don’t want to be friends anymore”
Are we the assholes. Look I get it the wife can do what she wants, but honestly I could careless to be apart of the babies life

2024.05.22 02:12 PritsTheDaemon Westwood Sierra Apartments
TLDR; DO NOT CHOOSE WESTWOOD SIERRA. The property manager is unprofessional and rude. Make sure you are familiar with the whole process and then decide.
Long Story: My wife and I contacted Westwood Sierra mid-March and met with the property manager, Mina Perez. We took the application and met with her the next day with our application fee. During our first and second meeting, she said that we needed to provide one month’s rent as “security deposit” and the running month’s rent (no other fees). At the first meeting, she said the apartment will be ready on April 2nd and we have to move in within 7 days. Upon the acceptance of our application, she contacted us and we met with her again to visit the apartment. We gave half of one month's rent as deposit which will be security deposit after we move in. On that day, she denied the apartment's ready date. She literally gaslighted us and said the apartment will be ready on April 12th. We would have 7 days to sign the lease and we chose April 19th for the signing date. We already understood that day the she is not true to her words and had no sense of commitment however we thought to let it go since we liked the apartment. She then provided a signed agreement where the apartment ready date and move in dates are mentioned.
Fast forward to April, I contacted her twice and she said the work is going great. We even visited the apartment a second time to see if there’s any issue. We found no major change (after two weeks of first visit) in the apartment. Anyway, I called her a few days before the lease signing and she said everything is in order and we decided to meet April 19th at 10 am.
We packed almost the whole apartment and were ready to move in on the 19th. We reached the place on the 19th at 10:15 am. When we reached, she said the apartment is not ready and won’t be ready till the end of the day. My wife then told her how come the apartment is not ready since she said it would be ready by the 12th and we will have to move within 7 days. She again gaslighted us saying she didn’t provide the date! She then started denying everything and her behavior was very rude with my wife. I then told her she could have called us regarding the delay. She replied that we were also 15 minutes late. She was combative and unprofessional to the highest extent. She didn’t have the courtesy to inform us and on top of that trying to put the blame on us.
We are international UNR students, originally from South Asia. We thought we have seen all sorts of terrible situations/behavior in our country, but nothing, I MEAN NOTHING, comes even close to this kind of behavior.
My wife already wanted to do nothing with them and not move-in. Since we already gave notice to our then landlord I still tried to stay positive and asked Mina to start the lease signing process. She brought up the paperwork, and she started to give an overview of the paperwork. But something caught my eyes which said half of one month's rent is non-refundable and goes towards cleaning fees and the other half is the security deposit which is refundable. But she never mentioned the non-refundable cleaning fees. Everytime we talked, she said one month's rent goes towards the security deposit. She gaslighted us multiple times by this time. I told her she never mentioned the non-refundable cleaning fees. She said she was mentioning then and asked me not to get stuck in technicality. But I am pretty sure she would not mention this unless I had read it in the first place.
I already lost hope but still was trying to reason with her. She was yelling at this point and when I asked her not to yell, she said she can do whatever she wants as it was her own office! Then she said she would not give us the apartment as "WE" were giving "HER" a hard time. Then my wife mentioned that she needed to give us back half of the one month's rent (which we thought was the security deposit) and she agreed. My wife left the office and I was still in the office trying to reason with her because we had already committed to move-in and had some boxes in our car. She then yelled that I needed to leave. I gave up and asked her to return our deposit. She agreed and I left. Later we contacted and she refunded us the money. That's the only positive attitude from her (which we think that since she said she is not gonna give us the apartment, she broke the deal and had to refund us. Otherwise she would keep the money). Thankfully, we were able to find another place within a short time.
We later had a chat with some of our UNR friends who live there and they also confirmed that she is a very rude person and behaved the same with many other students.
Our opinion: The property manager is rude and combative. She is running a scam and making the students, specially the international students (who have less choice), as the victim.
P.S. I am writing this after over a month of the original incident so I am not that angry and disappointed like then.

That's the only positive attitude from her (which we think that since she said she is not gonna give us the apartment, she broke the deal and had to refund us. Otherwise she would keep the money). Thankfully, we were able to find another place within a short time.
We later had a chat with some of our UNR friends who live there and they also confirmed that she is a very rude person and behaved the same with many other students.
Our opinion: The property manager is rude and combative. She is running a scam and making the students, specially the international students (who have less choice), as the victim.
P.S. I am writing this after over a month of the original incident so I am not that angry and disappointed like then.
2024.05.22 02:12 plantlets [TOMT] Looking for a mermaid book!
Hi everyone! Was redirected here from mermaid . I’m looking for a book I read as a child in elementary school. Unfortunately, I don’t remember the name or author or really what the cover looked like but I’ll do my best to describe it!
The book was found in the kindergarten section and was definitely published before 2007. Not about the little mermaid at all and perhaps featured other mystical creatures but a heavy focus on mermaids. Was mostly a picture book but did feature some text that was easy to read. It was also very tall as opposed to square in shape and probably not more than 50 pages. An aspect I do remember was that baby mermaids did feature in the illustrations!
Basically the only concrete thing I remember is a page of the book that had a very realistic painting of the interior of a cave looking out to the ocean with a rear view of a mermaid lying on a rock gazing at the mouth of the cave. The overall vibes were very painterly and realistic. I would love any advice to find this book/if you know what I’m talking about that would be amazing.
I’ve been searching for this book for about five or so years now and sadly my old school library no longer has the book or the records of me checking it out.
Thank you!!!
Its definitely not:
Mermaid: Nymphs of the Sea by Theodore Gachot Mermaid: Tales from around the World by Mary Pop Osborne Mermaids: Sirens of the Sea by Kerry Colburn A Treasury of Mermaids by Shirley Climo

2024.05.22 02:11 PritsTheDaemon Ranting- Westwood Sierra Apartments
TLDR; DO NOT CHOOSE WESTWOOD SIERRA. The property manager is unprofessional and rude. Make sure you are familiar with the whole process and then decide.
Long Story: My wife and I contacted Westwood Sierra mid-March and met with the property manager, Mina Perez. We took the application and met with her the next day with our application fee. During our first and second meeting, she said that we needed to provide one month’s rent as “security deposit” and the running month’s rent (no other fees). At the first meeting, she said the apartment will be ready on April 2nd and we have to move in within 7 days. Upon the acceptance of our application, she contacted us and we met with her again to visit the apartment. We gave half of one month's rent as deposit which will be security deposit after we move in. On that day, she denied the apartment's ready date. She literally gaslighted us and said the apartment will be ready on April 12th. We would have 7 days to sign the lease and we chose April 19th for the signing date. We already understood that day the she is not true to her words and had no sense of commitment however we thought to let it go since we liked the apartment. She then provided a signed agreement where the apartment ready date and move in dates are mentioned.
Fast forward to April, I contacted her twice and she said the work is going great. We even visited the apartment a second time to see if there’s any issue. We found no major change (after two weeks of first visit) in the apartment. Anyway, I called her a few days before the lease signing and she said everything is in order and we decided to meet April 19th at 10 am.
We packed almost the whole apartment and were ready to move in on the 19th. We reached the place on the 19th at 10:15 am. When we reached, she said the apartment is not ready and won’t be ready till the end of the day. My wife then told her how come the apartment is not ready since she said it would be ready by the 12th and we will have to move within 7 days. She again gaslighted us saying she didn’t provide the date! She then started denying everything and her behavior was very rude with my wife. I then told her she could have called us regarding the delay. She replied that we were also 15 minutes late. She was combative and unprofessional to the highest extent. She didn’t have the courtesy to inform us and on top of that trying to put the blame on us.
We are international UNR students, originally from South Asia. We thought we have seen all sorts of terrible situations/behavior in our country, but nothing, I MEAN NOTHING, comes even close to this kind of behavior.
My wife already wanted to do nothing with them and not move-in. Since we already gave notice to our then landlord I still tried to stay positive and asked Mina to start the lease signing process. She brought up the paperwork, and she started to give an overview of the paperwork. But something caught my eyes which said half of one month's rent is non-refundable and goes towards cleaning fees and the other half is the security deposit which is refundable. But she never mentioned the non-refundable cleaning fees. Everytime we talked, she said one month's rent goes towards the security deposit. She gaslighted us multiple times by this time. I told her she never mentioned the non-refundable cleaning fees. She said she was mentioning then and asked me not to get stuck in technicality. But I am pretty sure she would not mention this unless I had read it in the first place.
I already lost hope but still was trying to reason with her. She was yelling at this point and when I asked her not to yell, she said she can do whatever she wants as it was her own office! Then she said she would not give us the apartment as "WE" were giving "HER" a hard time. Then my wife mentioned that she needed to give us back half of the one month's rent (which we thought was the security deposit) and she agreed. My wife left the office and I was still in the office trying to reason with her because we had already committed to move-in and had some boxes in our car. She then yelled that I needed to leave.

 | I just noticed something. If you have a resource/file in the community and some components are in a different mode (i.e using another set of variables) e.g a different theme or dark mode, its visually breaking. This is frustrating because people wont know this bug and assume the creator mad crap. submitted by ojanti to FigmaDesign [link] [comments] Is it me? Is there something I didn't do correctly? Take a look at some examples below or See the issue live yourself (this isnt an Advert please) Example oneFrom figma preview box 👇From Figma preview From inside the real file 👇 https://preview.redd.it/0lv94ejpcv1d1.png?width=647&format=png&auto=webp&s=86e70f74d6030abef31eddc498d638a132dc82d0 Example 2From figma preview box 👇https://preview.redd.it/1a7iuga4dv1d1.png?width=732&format=png&auto=webp&s=c4822de3f27d292a8afed011b733ac79f97b44e0 From inside the real file 👇 https://preview.redd.it/j2su7exadv1d1.png?width=728&format=png&auto=webp&s=62d3b3b2cfd9f3d0735a8d5c84b56fb44d1ca717 There are many more examples.

2024.05.22 02:10 Asimplewriter3 Picnic begginer here, I need some help with my menu; do you think this will be enough, or should I add something more (if so, any reccomendations?)
So, I'm having a picnic event this sunday with my boyfriend, we plan to stay in the event for 6 hours and I know he has a really large appetite (contrary to me, having a very little appetite), and that's why I'm worried the food we're taking with us couldn't be enough for the day. This is our menu so far:
•Strawberry jam sandwiches (we're considering adding whipped cream too) •Apple slices •Baby carrots •Sliced cucumbers with lemon, salt and chili powder •Dry beef meat •1L of Natural water •1L of jamaica flower flavoured water •Potato chips
We also planned to buy some fried sausages with french fries at the event (when we checked the place we are going to in Maps, we saw a street food stand that sells them but we don't know if it'll be open that day), and maybe some sodas if we finish our water.
So, what do you think of our menu? Do you think it'll work? Thank u in advance for your answers :)

2024.05.22 02:10 Holiday-Intention451 How to improve ECs
Hi everyone im a junior. I am trying to get admitted to top schools, my top choices right now are Duke, MIT and Stanford.
Just for reference I have a 4.0uw/4.74w with 1550 SAT (800m/750e) and will have taken 13 APs by graduation. 5’s on Calc BC, Stats, Bio, CSP, and Lang. Im applying as a math major and have taken higher level math classes than my school offers: Linear Algebra, Multivariable Calculus, Ordinary and Differential Equations.
My current extracurriculars are as follows: 1. Published research in Markov Chains (used advanced stats, linear algebra, coding in R) 2. Summer Internship with Mathematics professor in financial/real estate applications 3. Founder of tutorinf business - 40+ clients, have hired 6 other tutors, I have made $10,000+ in profits 4. Attended a selective summer math program (think ross/promys level, maybe a little below) 5. President of school math team and math club 6. Did a bunch of math competitions and placed well at a lot of them, which i will list 7. Taught a two week summer class for free in advanced algebra topics with 20+ students (beyond algebra 2/precalc) 8. Volunteer math and SAT tutor - 100+ volunteer hours 9. Sports - Varsity Basketball, Varsity Track and Field, Varsity Cross Country. And a recruited track and field athlete (not duke level)
So the point of this is basically what can I do to improve my ECs… I don’t think they’re good enough to get into Duke ED but I have a full summer and start of senior year to turn that around and I want to know what I should do/improve.
And last thing, can I add an extra curricular called self study? I would include that I have self studied Probability Theory, Mathematical Statistics, and Introductory Abstract Algebra. (I actually put a lot of work into each of these its not just bs to put down)
Thank you all

2024.05.22 02:09 ParaWaitingNC Gf (38) is 7 days late on her period, did blood test and 3 CVS tests
Just to clarify, we aren't trying to have a baby, but a condom slipped out about 2 or 3 weeks ago and had precum inside of it. And now she's a week late. She did a blood pregnancy test yesterday as well as a pregnancy test from cvs(cvs brand, blue line) and the cvs test came back negative. The blood test was emailed to us today and was also negative.
And this morning she also did an additional 2 blue line tests with the cvs brand and also came back negative.
She has been feeling nauseated and was throwing up this morning so we're worried.
How worried should we be guys? Thanks for any help! 🙏

2024.05.22 02:05 Silly_Mongoose_2228 Question about the name Shai
Baby boy will be here in Novemeber, and my partner and I are struggling with name options. The only name that we are somewhat in agreement on is the name Shai. He really likes it, but I'm worried that it will get mispronounced a lot.
How would you pronounce this name at first glance- would you think shy or shay? Do you like the sound of this name?
I'm American, partner is Israeli, and we're living in the US. Shai is an Israeli name that means gift. It is fitting since baby will be born right before Thanksgiving. Our daughter's name is Juliet, so also wondering if these sound good together.
