Changed of property management letter sample

Hi there! I've been struggling to find a job for a while, ever since i've finished my Translation Studies MA. I was supposed to start working for a local constabulary in January, but i was missing like 2 months to be able to work for them, so they threw my application out of the window (after a successful interview and all that). Since then I've been looking for any kind of administration or translation jobs, but i didn't even get a single response from anybody. I just don't really know what to do in this situation, I've been mostly working for pubs before my studies, but i've also been a general manager of a restaurant for a year, which had quite a lot experience outside of strictly dining (stuff like data entry and storage, team leading, recruitment, etc.). Doesn't change the fact, that i can't even get as much as a response, I've tried civil service, NHS, courts and nothing so far. I don't know if it's because of my work experience, or what and at this point i am slowly starting to lose patience and hope. I don't want to take another job in pub or fast food, i've had seriously enough of that in my life, even before coming to UK. Is my only choice right now to just bear it for who knows how long and hope, that i'll get an answer from someone?

I can list my credentials and positive qualities about myself.
And then I can listen to outsiders list the negatives.
I am an honest woman, who has faced systemic barriers, due to age (now), my never married- childfree status, (gender non-conforming).
I see people suggest things like apply to be a legal secretary or admin, "it takes time to train you to become a paralegal."
But they don't know what I can do and have done. They assume I have the same skills that they do, the same knowledge and learning capacity.
No one asks me questions and just glances at my resume but doesn't know what skills I used in those jobs.
Maybe I am qualified to study for LSAT to apply for law school. Maybe I have that skill level, but due to health and financial reasons, I can't do that, so Paralegal work is just fine.
Maybe I wrote my own petition, motions and interacted with opposing counsel, and used Pacer.
How much "training," would it really take me to be a paralegal if I already worked in Insurance, Mortgage, Property Management and all areas of Human Resources?
I've performed analytical and research work, used proprietary software systems, Microsoft, Teams, and performed confidential file case management work.
Despite some people's beliefs that college isn't necessary, I've worked my way through college twice, earning a little beyond a Masters including professional industry certifications. Some people say degrees are worthless. I don't generalize like that. Some people work and go to school at night, others, lived on campus all 4 years and enjoyed the college experience.
I have not denigrated anyone for graduating from college.
I not shamed anyone for choosing marriage and children. But those who do, have a different skill set than a woman who never took the mommy and wife route.
Many completely long term singles developed survival skill, resourcefulness, and interpersonal skills, all while remaining single and childfree in our family-centric world.
I need to be honest. If you were an attorney looking to hire a paralegal, I would build trust and he transparent and share about my prior Civil legal matters. I'd have to. And then I would hope that you would recognize my integrity, and courage, to stand up for what is right and for doing what is right, despite being blacklisted from working in the private sector.
Does anyone know of a law firm who would potentially consider me for paralegal work in Illinois? I would absolutely love this kind of work.
I need an income for an apt, utilities, food, car, insurance for car, health, dental, vision, and living needs to be successful.

hello!
i recently submitted my application for the role of csr, and im curious to know what the interview process is like & if anyone has any tips/sample questions. i know that there’s typically an initial phone interview (screening) w/ a recruiter & then a video interview with a hiring manager. how different are they in your experience?

TL;DR - building I live in was sold a few weeks ago and the new owner terminated the existing property management contract and is terminating all leases at the end of the month. I was going to move anyway but I think they're going to make it difficult to retrieve my deposit. What should I prioritize in the remainder of my lease to better my chances of getting my deposit back while I still have access to the unit?
Hello! I'm coming up on the end of a 1 year lease in Des Moines, IA on 5/31. I had already found a new place to move to back in April, but my landlord beat me to giving notice by issuing a notice of termination by nonrenewal, which I later learned they'd done to all tenants to take effect on the same date.
That didn't affect my plans much, however in early May (right after I paid what will be my final month's rent) the subcontracted property management company notified us that the building owner had terminated their contract, and would supposedly be reaching out to schedule move-out inspections and return of keys & deposits themselves.
I had a feeling that was BS from the get go, and since the lease prohibited any contact circumventing the previous property management company (is that even legal?), all the former management will tell me is that they are not allowed to provide any information that could be used to contact the owner.
However, knowing my way around public records, I found that an LLC which owns and "redeveloped" the building across the street had bought my building this month. So I know the name of the company and its owner, and a business address that appears to just be his home (or at least, it's a single family house in walking distance).
Other than mailing a letter (certified or no?) stating my new mailing address and other ways to reach me, what else should I be doing while I still live here, and what measures should I take while moving out and after, in order to get my deposit back?
Should I leave my keys inside the unit and lock it behind me, or mail them to the owner's address? None of the keys are unique and I have tons of copies at this point, so I think it would be safe to keep one if there's any advantage to that. But what's to stop them from claiming I overstayed my lease?
The former management company took a video on move-in day which I plan to replicate after I move everything out in the coming weeks, I've downloaded my ledger showing having fully paid through May, as well as retained confirmation emails of all the maintenance requests I've submitted and email exchanges I've had with the management company.
I'm also pretty sure they'll be tearing the building down to have extra parking for the building across the street. Half of it has remained vacant and the neighborhood is "up and coming" with a lot of adjacent properties making deals to swap parking spots to meet minimum parking requirements. So, what the hell do I do if the building is simply gone by the time I get a chance to challenge this in court and there's no way to verify the condition I left the unit in?

Hi everyone,
Just sharing an email I've set to Serato due to freezing and crashes on my new M3 Max MacBook Pro, which is a BEAST (but Serato apparently doesn't like it). I've also talked about the problem with waiting 6-8 months for installing the new MacOS each year.. I'll do another post with their responses if this message is upvoted. Let me know.
Have a nice one,
Hans

The place I typically bring my 2018 Honda Civic for regular maintenance does a “comprehensive assessment” prior to every service. The location has recently had a turn over with their management and the last two oil changes I had done have come with a list of items that should be addressed “urgently” with an estimate of 7k to complete all the work. One of the highest ticket items they keep deeming “urgent” is having the shocks and struts replaced. Are these parts that would typically need replacing due to visual inspection (the first time they recommended it they said it was from visual inspection the second time they sited manufacturer recommendation) My car feels like it is driving normal and is comfortable and so the shocks and struts suggestion feels like a way for them to do unnecessary work on my car, but I know very little about how those parts wear or fail so I’m uncomfortable dismissing the recommendation outright and I’m wondering if this is a recommendation I should be taking seriously.
Until recently I was putting extremely high miles on my car and was extremely diligent of maintenance (my car has 236000 miles and other than having the transmission replaced and ac repaired it’s had no issues) but about six months ago I left my job and went from driving about 6000 miles per month (all highway driving ) to less than 1000 per month.

Well, guys, I’m in a bit of a pickle. Please don’t judge me..I realize some of this was poor judgement on my behalf. But here I am. Please note that I am consulting with a couple lawyers next week. Ugh.
Background:
I am a sport coach professional of 15 years. I have been working independently with a handful of private clients since 2018.
A little over a year ago, I was introduced to an investor who purchased property near me, seeking the guidance of someone such as myself to help develop the property out for a business in my related sport field. I did not seek this investor out, they sought me.
I told the owner I had no interest in running the business, but I would happily act as a consultant to get the best use out of the facility as well as get them connected with other professionals who may be interested in leasing the property upon completion.
We had discussed briefly what compensation would look like, with plans to get things down on paper the following week when the investors were in town. (You might be able to see where this is going).
Well, fast forward — the investoowner of the property decided they did not want to proceed with the professionals I had connected them with, and instead wanted to see what they could do to get me and my business partner in to operate the business. Keep in mind that the investors/owners know NOTHING about my industry.
At this point we are about 4 months into this whole dynamic or whatever it is. At the time, despite how dumb it may sound, I sincerely did not mind going out of my way to help a few hours a week with the guidance of developing this property. No one in the area can help them the way I can. This type of a facility is overwhelmingly needed in this area for our sport, and there are few other professionals, if any, in the area that can help guide the development of their vision for the facility. For the benefit of the community, the time I was putting in did NOT bother me. I wasn’t worried about getting paid, and trusted we would come to an agreement (as had been promised).
Well, upon being re-approached by the owner to please reconsider operating out of the facility, they sweetened the pot by offering an ownership share for the time I am putting in. We met for dinner, they had printed out a sheet outlining the infrastructure of the ownership between me, my business partner, and them. Although nothing was signed, I have a printed copy of what was handed to me. Again, you can probably see where this is going. The ownership offer for my time made it worth it to me to move forward and start this whole thing from scratch. At the time, I had no reason to believe they would go back on their word.
After the meeting, I began putting more of my time into the facility (10-15 hrs per week). By this time, I was working with my business partner to develop business plans, working with their lawyers for documents, and all the normal stuff of building a small business from scratch. I have a years worth of texts and drafts I made for everything regarding the business. We had weekly meetings with the project manager. I began interviews for the team, hired the manager, etc etc. Each week went by, with more conversations about our agreement, promises that lawyers were drafting the agreements, yet each week we wouldn’t see paperwork prepared for us. As I’m sure you can anticipate, the original offer has been redacted and changed last minute. I know, I am really dumb for letting this get this far. Please don’t beat me up more than I am beating up myself.
What they are now offering are three different options
— a small salary + a much smaller profit share percentage
— a bigger salary
— a small salary + a lump sum payment for my time over the last year
A lump sum payment for my time and walking away was briefly mentioned, and my gut is telling me to accept that offer. But I am worried that they may make it very difficult to receive payment for my time, because we never had anything in writing for my consultation except for what was discussed very recently with our project manager and written down (Again, no signing, but I do have a photo of what was written down for my consultation fee). We are a month out from opening, and I am feeling pressured by them to make a decision despite asking for the last 4-5 months to review the final agreement. “The meeting” where the original offer was redacted, involved a lot of degrading statements and manipulation tactics — I believe they are trying to scare me into quickly complying with shady business practices.
I opted for the lump sum payment for my time and smaller salary (verbally). Now, I am waiting for the documents to be sent over to me so I can review the specifications of the NDA and the non-compete with a lawyer.
Although everything the owner has done (the details of the meeting in which the original offer was redacted was terrible — the owner showed their true colors and although I feel dumb, I am generally a good judge of character, and was sincerely blown away) goes against my values as a person, the facility we have built would be incredible for my clients to experience. The follow up meeting with our project manager, where we discussed the details of the new offer and got the stipulations written down on paper to transfer to the legal documents, was one that they were trying really hard to keep me on board, “making up” for the previous meeting. The reality is, once we are operating, I wont be seeing much of the owner at all. Regardless, at this point, if it were for myself and myself only, I wouldn’t move forward. But because of my clients, I want them to be able to train out of a facility like this. We have NOTHING like this in the area. However, although the money isn’t worth it to me, with the encouragement of my spouse, I do believe I need to see something in my pocket.
I believe I have the upper hand because I bring the clients to the facility and the knowledge. The owners couldn’t do this without me and my business partner, period.
Here’s what I’m worried about (aside from the obvious if not already stated) —
The NDA and the non-compete are going to be ridiculous. To be honest, I don’t know what “Trade secrets” would be covered in the NDA aside from their financials…there are no trade secrets in my industry that I can think of. I do think they will try to cover something I discovered and discussed with the owner — lets just say, someone on the property who shouldn’t be on the property due to legal reasons. But this is public knowledge if searched (which is how I discovered we needed to talk about this person and get him off the property, or the success of the business is at stake). But I don’t know if that’s legally possible. However, I do know that I saved “them” by bringing this to their attention because if discovered, quite literally their operation would have been completely shut down and ostracized by the governing body of my sport (For good reason). I also have reason to believe that after this person’s legal situation settles, they are trying to make him part of the business on other aspects of the property. With that, I think they are trying to shut me up regarding this situation. I also think they are going to try really hard to make it difficult for me to leave with the non compete.
Is there a way for me to negotiate protecting myself and the clients I am bringing to the business with the non-compete? Is it reasonable to negotiate that the non-compete cannot apply to the clients I am bringing with me? Or that, if I am fired, or the conditions of my employment change, the non-compete is null and void? How does the recent new ruling on non-competes affect this?
Do I have enough hard evidence to ask for my consultation fee for the last year and just end with that? Or am I completely screwed out of that?
Do you have any advice for me at all?
Like I said, I am meeting with lawyers next week who specialize in my industry and employment, but I just wanted to pick the brains of lawyers here about my situation. Their business practices are clearly shady, and I need to get my head out of my ass and need help with what I should be on the lookout for.

In January this year, I switched jobs and joined my current company as L4. This company had lower pay bands compared to my previous company. But since they were essentially promoting me, I took the offer with marginal pay increase.
Thing is, the offer they gave me at the time was about 108% of what they have as average of L4 range(compa ratio) and they said they just could not give me any more because that would put me right away on path to next promotion. By March, they changed the range and now I’m at 95% on the compa ratio. And I did the math, given the company’s hike patterns, it would take me atleast 3 years of very high performance of what my salary would have been if I was at 108% now. I want to ask my manager to atleast put me to 100%.
My 6 months probation period ends in July. I’ve been asking for feedbacks every 1:1 with my manager and he is really happy with the way I’m going about the ramp up and my role as the tech lead. I also am in the thick of things in the company and am a known name for most of the teams my team works with. There is a half yearly review which will kick off right before my probation ends. But this is just a review to see if people are on track, not for hikes or promotions.
I am looking for some advice on how to handle this situation and have positive, result yielding conversations without things turning sour between me and the company.
(Sorry for poor writing. It’s pretty hard to write a post back and forth on Reddit).

During the height of my high regard for the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), among the movies of which I had been a major fan were the Captain America releases. At least two of them. The third film in this mini franchise - 2016's "CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR" proved to be a major disappointment for me. However, when I heard that Disney and Marvel Films had plans to air a miniseries about the characters Sam Wilson aka the Falcon and James "Bucky" Barnes aka the Winter Soldier, I must admit that I felt a renewed interest in the franchise again.
When I said a renewal of the MCU franchise, I meant it. Aside from a few movies like "ANT-MAN", "BLACK PANTHER", "CAPTAIN MARVEL" and "ETERNALS"; the MCU had become a major disappointment for me ever since the release of 2015's "THE AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON". One might ask . . . what about the MCU television productions that aired on the Disney Plus streaming channel? Aside from one production that I somewhat liked and one that I loved, most of them have been disappointing to me. Unfortunately, I have to include this follow-up to the Captain America movies, "THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER".
Set six months after 2019's "THE AVENGERS: ENDGAME", "THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER" followed former war veteran/Avenger Sam Wilson, who has resumed working the for the U.S. government, while using his role as the Falcon. When the government recruits Sam to track down and deal with a group of enhanced anarchists known as "the Flag Smashers", former World War II veteran/HYDRA tool/Avenger James "Bucky" Buchannan aka the Winter Soldier decides to join Sam in his mission, due to his lingering guilt as a former HYDRA assassin and their shared experiences as Steve Rogers' close friends and battling Thanos and his army.
Since "THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER" had aired on the DisneyPlus channel in six episodes, I had seriously considered ranking the episodes. But like Season three of the Marvel Netflix series, "DAREDEVIL", the more I watched "THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLIDER", the more it disappointed me. Aside from complaints about its pacing, the limited series had received a great deal of praise from critics and fans alike. Because of this, I believe it was one of the most overrated productions in the MCU history. People had seemed so focused on little moments and scenes that very few had noticed how the series' narrative seemed to be all over the map. For example:
~\Sam Wilson~* - This limited series is supposed to be a follow up to the events of "ENDGAME" in which Sam had received the Captain America shield from an aging Steve Rogers, a sign for him to take up the latter's costumed role. Was this an attempt by Marvel Films/Disney to make Sam a more relevant character? If so, why? Why did a MCU character have to replace Steve as the new Captain America to be more relevant? Why not allow Sam to continue as the Falcon, only push his role to the forefront as one of the franchise's new leading characters? Some might accuse me of not wanting a black man as Captain America, a topic that was brought up in the series. Frankly, I never wanted another character - regardless of race, gender or ethnicity - to become the new Captain America. That includes Bucky Barnes. Allow Steve Rogers to fade into the background and let Sam (as the Falcon) shine as one of the franchise's new leads. However, the die has been cast. One can only sit back and see if moviegoers are willing to accept Sam as the new Captain America.
Perhaps the MCU had to make Sam the new Captain America in order to make him more relevant. Why would I say that? The showrunner for "THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER", Malcolm Spellman, came dangerously close to shoving Sam into the role of the second lead or worst, a role he has been since his debut in 2014's "CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER" - a supporting character. During the series' first three or four episodes, someone other than Sam (either Bucky Barnes or Helmut Zemo - two white men) made decisions that allowed the plot to move forward, not Sam. He was simply regulated to being an observer or reactor. The series even managed to undermine Sam's decision not to support the Sokovia Accords in "CIVIL WAR". In thee 2016, Sam became the first Avenger to speak out against the Accords and declare his intentions not to sign it. Yet, according to Bucky in this series, Sam had merely followed Steve's example in rejecting the Accords. And Spellman did nothing to allow Sam to correct this misconception.
~\James "Bucky" Barnes~* - One of the few aspects of "CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR" I found enjoyable proved to be the interactions between Sam Wilson and Bucky Buchannan. Despite their lingering jealousy and competition over the role as "Steve Rogers' best friend", the pair's interactions proved to be very entertaining, thanks to the screen chemistry between Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan. Unfortunately, Mackie and Stan could not save "CIVIL WAR" for me. Nor could they save "THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER", due to its problematic writing. A good deal of that writing surrounded Bucky's character. I have so many questions about his role in this series. For example:
-Why would any official of the Joint Counter Terrorist Center allow Bucky to visit and question Helmut Zemo, the man responsible for the U.N. conference bombing in Vienna, in "CIVIL WAR"? That made very little sense to me. Surely the JCTC authorities remembered how Zemo managed to brainwash Bucky into making his own prison break in "CIVIL WAR"? Also, Bucky was on parole for his activities as a brainwashed HYDRA assassin. Yet, the JCTC had allowed him to visit Zemo? Surely, the showrunner could have allowed Sam, who was serving the U.S. government again, to be the one to visit and question Zemo?
-How on earth did Bucky managed to evade being arrested and charged for helping Zemo escape from the JCTC? The U.S. and other governments should have been suspicious of Bucky after learning about his visit to Zemo.
-Bucky came off as an arrogant school jock, who thought he was entitled to get his way - especially in his interactions with Sam. I found it hilarious that many fans had criticized John Walker aka Captain America aka U.S. Agent for such toxic behavior. Yet, they had turned a blind eye to Bucky's own behavior. And so did the series - up until the last two episodes. Why did the showrunner allow Bucky to get away with this behavior toward Sam for so long without any complaints from the latter?
-I did not care how Bucky had bullied his way into Sam's mission without the latter's consent. What I found even more annoying was the U.S. government's decision to allow Bucky to join Sam's mission after that ludicrous "therapy session" they were forced to attend together.
~\Racism -~* A good number of MCU fans had complained about the inclusion of racism in "THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER". I had no problems with this direction, considering the story was about Sam, an African-American man, becoming the new Captain America. However, I had a good deal of problems with how the production explored the topic of racism.
The story of Isaiah Bradley, Marvel's second Captain America, had originated in the comics. In the MCU, he was a Korea War veteran whom the United States Army used as one of several unwilling African-American test subjects for their version of the Super Soldier serum. I realize that both Marvel Comics and the MCU had attempted to use Bradley's experience as a metaphor for the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. The problem is that I cannot see the U.S. government and the Army - both racist organizations in the early 1950s - be willing to risk the possibility of creating a non-white super soldier. Despite the recent desegregation of the Armed Forces in the late 1940s. And both the government and the Army had been more than willing to use white soldiers in other experiments.
After saving a group of black American super soldiers from a prison camp, Bradly was imprisoned by the U.S. government for thirty years. I saw nothing wrong with this twist in the character's narrative, until I remembered two things - Bradley had been able to free his fellow soldiers without anyone's help; and nearly sixty years later, Steve Rogers managed to break into the Raft and free those Avengers who had refused to sign the Sokovia Accord. Why was Bradley unable to free himself from prison? This is the man who had defeated the Winter Soldier by breaking the latter's metal arm. And he was not powerful enough to make a prison break, let alone evade capture?
I had assumed Sam's difficulty in becoming the new Captain America would stem from the government's reluctance to recruit a black man for the position. That would explain their decision to recruit the blond-haired John Walker instead. But the series never really made it clear whether political racism had played a role in Walker's recruitment. The series also had James "Rhodey" Rhodes had paid Sam a visit, emphasizing the importance of the new Captain America being black. As it turned out, Sam's own insecurities about becoming Captain America had more to do with him not initially assuming the role. There was also that interesting scene outside Bradley's Baltimore home where the police arrested Sam during verbal argument with Bucky. Although the cops backed away when they recognized Sam as an Avenger, they ended up arresting the parolee Bucky for missing his required therapy appointment. This scene was supposed to be a case of racial profiling. But . . . we might as well be honest. In the real world, the police would not have backed down from hassling Sam. What I found more disturbing was the production's handling of Bucky's arrest. Once the police discovers that Sam was an Avenger; they turned to arrest Bucky for failing to show up for his missing his therapy session. Not only did the police arrest Bucky with a more gentle behavior, they did so, accompanied by Henry Jackman's mournful score, something that did not accompany the moment of Sam being arrested. Were the audiences expected to notice the hypocrisy and racism in the police's handling of the two men? Expected to feel sympathy for Bucky? Or both?
The last episode featured a scene of two black kids playing with toy Captain America shields. Someone had commented that the shields (especially in the hands of non-white children) represented hope to the future of race relations in the United States. Why? How? This country had a biracial president for EIGHT YEARS. Yet, U.S. racial policies have remained problematic even to this day. I can say the same for other countries. The so-called symbolism of this scene only reminded me of how human beings put so much faith in imagery and symbolism. And this strikes me as a FALSE FAITH. Why was taking up the mantle of a costumed hero that had been previously occupied by a white man, the only way for Sam Wilson to become relevant within the MCU franchise? What was wrong with him being "the Falcon"? Sam becoming the next Captain America was not going to save the U.S. in regard to race relations - not in real life and not in the fictional world of the MCU. Looking back on the series, the series' only scenario that seemed to expose racism in a realistic manner, proved to be Sam's failure to acquire a bank loan for his family's fishing boat in Louisiana.
~\Sharon Carter~* - I am certain many MCU fans are aware of this. One of Marvel Comics' most iconic couples happened to be Steve Rogers aka Captain America and Sharon Carter aka Agent 13. She also happened to be the great-niece of Peggy Carter, Steve's love interest during World War II. Portrayed by Emily VanCamp, Sharon was first introduced as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent in "CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER" as a potential love interest for Steve. Despite Sharon's appearance in the following Captain America movie, "CIVIL WAR", their romance never really developed. Many blamed the lack of chemistry between VanCamp and Chris Evans. I never had a problem with their screen chemistry. I had a problem with the lack of relationship development between Sharon and Steve. And I blame Kevin Feige's decision to transform the third Captain America film into a third (and badly written) pseudo Avengers movie. The change in the film's narrative, along with Sharon's failure to appear in "THE AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR" and "ENDGAME", left no opportunity for Sharon and Steve to become the romantic pair they had been in the comics. Instead, Sharon became a fugitive from the U.S. government after helping Steve and Sam hunt down Bucky, moved to Madripoor, a city-state with no U.S. extradition and became an embittered criminal known as "the Power Broker".
After "CIVIL WAR", nearly five years had passed before Sharon appeared in another MCU production - namely this series. And what happened? The franchise, with Spellman, ended up completely destroying her character by transforming her into the villain known as Power Broker, the criminal leader of an Indonesian city-state called Madripoor. After helping Steve and Sam acquire their suits and equipment in order to go after Bucky in "CIVIL WAR", Sharon lost her job with the C.I.A. and became a fugitive. She eventually moved to Madripoor, a city-state with no U.S. extradition, to evade capture, survived Thanos' Snap and became an embittered criminal nicknamed "the Power Broker" in order to survive the new world.
What really pissed me off about Sharon's arc between "CIVIL WAR" and "THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER" is that her development into a major villain all happened OFF SCREEN. Off screen. Apparently, screenwriters for "INFINITY WAR" had written a draft that included Sharon in the movie. But according to Christopher Markus, he and Stephen McFeeley could not imagine scenes featuring Steve and Sharon trying to make it work in an apartment, because the 2018 movie did not have time to focus on their personal life. Why did Marvel simply fail to allow Sharon to be part of Steve's vigilante team - like Sam and Natasha Romanoff? I mean . . . good fucking grief! And why did Malcolm Spellman believe the only way Sharon could be interesting was to become a villain in "THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER"? This was his idea of improving Sharon's character?
~\Helmut Zemo aka Baron Zemo~* - Why did Malcolm Spellman, Kevin Feige and the MCU thought it necessary to bring back Helmut Zemo, the Sokovian-born villain from "CIVIL WAR"? What role did he play in "THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER"? I realize that Bucky, of all people, visited the incarcerated Zemo to acquire information on who had created the super-soldier serum that empowered the Flag Smashers. But why did he believe Zemo could provide the answer? Because he thought HYDRA was involved? Bucky or Sam could have searched for information from sources other than Zemo, who had been incarcerated for . . . what? Eight years? Eight years. Zemo managed to become something of a crowd-pleaser, thanks to Daniel Brühl's performance. Otherwise, I found his presence in this series unnecessary.
~\The Big Bad~* - Why on earth did it take this series so long to finally reveal the main villain's identity? At first, the series hinted the Flag Smashers, led by Karli Morgenthau. However, the series tossed other potential candidates for the Big Bad before viewers - John Walker, Helmut Zemo and yes, Sharon Carter. But in the end, Morgenthau and her group proved to be the main villains.
The Flag Smashers were a group of empowered people who believed the world was a better place between Thanos' Snap and the Blip (resurrection of those who had died during the Snap), when Humans around the world managed to unite and form a borderless society, one in which people helped others without any thought to nationalism and bias. Thanks to the Avengers, the world resumed its conflicts between nationalities and other groups. In other words, the borders returned.
Frankly, I have nothing against this ideal. Only Ms. Morgenthau and her followers resorted to violence and terrorism to achieve their goals. Does this sound familiar? It should. The Flag Smashers proved to be another example of characters with a progressive goal, resorting to extremism and becoming villains. This seemed to be a growing trend within the franchise, which I believe began with Erik "Killmonger" Stevens aka Prince N'Jadaka in 2018's "BLACK PANTHER". Since then, the MCU has not looked back at its growing roster of progressive villains. Perhaps I should not have been surprised. The franchise's ambiguous portrayal of an unconstitutional document like the Sokovia Accords, should have been the wake-up call. It seemed as if Kevin Feige, Marvel Films and Disney Studios had finally exposed themselves for the faux progressives they pretend to be. Frankly, this form of villainy has become tiresome to me.
After writing this article, I had considered ranking the six episodes featured in "THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER" anyway. But I decided against it. My dislike of the series made it impossible for me to even bother. Being a fan of the first two Captain America movies, I had truly hoped this series would redeem the franchise. Unfortunately, it proved to be just as disappointing as "CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR". Pity. Perhaps the fourth film, "CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD" will do the trick. I hope so.

my dream has always been to work with animals but i've never been sure id make it. I've been dealing with a lot of mental health issues for the majority of my life and never once planned on making it out like to my gcses or attend college but now thats changed. I kind of have a plan, i know what GCSE grades i need, what college to go to and when in university to study zoology however due to the fact i am still struggling with my issues it has caused me a great amount of memory loss, constantly being tired and overly anxious unable to concentrate i have missed YEARS of learning by not being entirely all there. I am trying to get back on medication and back into therapy, what i need to know if anyone in veterinary care understands? were you always good at school, getting amazing grades or did you struggle? feel like a massive idiot? but managed to learn and remember things? obviously you go to school for years to learn everything you need to but rn its impossible for me to pass. Without passing i wont be able to do any of that at least not any time soon. I need Grade 7 biology, physics and chemistry along with maths, english and a couple others. I have a year (im aware i could always do my GCSE's years from now but id like to get my life sorted cuz currently i feel i dont have years left of my life). I'll be doing them around May 2025, do you have any tips or advice for me? how to study, what to do to look after myself and etc? im not looking for mental health help, i js feel alone in this. Was it always easy? as a child were you amazing at science. I feel i am meant to be working with animals, id love to save them especially wild animals but it feels impossible, i need hope and motivation to get me through this. Not only for me to stay alive and fight through my struggles but so many animals need help and it'd give me purpose knowing i have a chance to save them. I hope this makes sense. Thank you !!

Yesterday, I set up a remote linux server (ubuntu 2404) to use as a remote server.
Today, I tried to access the remote server with ssh user@serverip , but my terminal said the host key has changed:

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!

The fingerprint given below this message does not match any of the SSH keys I set up, and I still had an open SSH terminal connected to the server since yesterday - I checked it with
ssh-keyscan -t rsa,dsa,ecdsa,ed25519 [server IP]
and the key is in known-hosts.
So I used the active SSH connection to check the .ssh directory for my user and the etc/ssh keys, but they don't match the fingerprint I get when I try to open a new SSH connection.
However, the last command shows only access by my useIP, and the sudo lastb command shows a ton of failed connection attempts for different users, including root.
What can I do? I would like to recover access to the server and be able to SSH in safely, but I have no idea whether it is safe to do so. And if it's not safe, how can I ensure it becomes safe again?
Further Info: The server is managed by a regional cloud hosting company and includes a basic firewall managed by this company. I set up SSH key access and a sudo user, but hadn't yet disabled password access (although the password should be strong enough to hold up).

Hi, I started using creality print 5.0 after using the old verision with blue UI for cople months and the only think I like is the option to have multiple print plates and to paint supports (even though i have to print the rest of the part red for it to generate supports only where i want to)
There are a lot of bugs I have found, especialy with saving filament profiles and Process profiles (I save a profile as a profile that i already created and it just creates a new profile with same name and when i try to delete a profile it deletes completely different one then i have selected...)
Also i dont get why some settings are where they are, for example why cant i set the line width for a new nozzle profile in the nozzle profile... Now i need to change a nozzle profile, filament profile and a process profile when i want to change from 0.4 nozzle to 0.2 nozzle...
the old creality print was much more simplier while having much more settings to choose from, but i hope they manage to fix the bugs and change some of these things so that the slicer makes sense.
What is your experience with the new slicer???

I posted a while ago in another subreddit & people called me selfish for leaving my animals & told me to seek god. I tried getting better on my own but it just made everything worse. I have no one in my life & I’ve been unemployed for a month now. I used to be full of life, ambitious, someone who wanted to change the world. I was someone who wanted to live. But too much has happened to me & I lost every one because of it. Nobody wanted to stick around. Why should I? I sincerely tried to do better & be better, not for anyone but myself. I can’t “try” anymore. I’m gonna write letters to my doctors so they know it’s not their fault I couldn’t be helped. Gonna tell my family what they really did to me. I won’t lie & say I hope everyone who left feels like shit. Because I’ve never encountered such selfish & self centered people in my life & I can’t believe I realized that too late. I can’t believe I let them use me. I can’t believe I’m just this pathetic enough to suffer all the time. & I don’t want to deal with that weight anymore. People will say this is for attention again but for once, I just wanna let it be known that I tried to be heard. I tried my best. When I’m found & they happen to go through my phone, they’ll know I tried. I really tried. I liked to talk but absolutely nobody liked to listen.

So to clarify 1 I am British so my terms my confuse people. 2. This happened in summer 2021 and also a heatwave. 3. names are changed for GDPR purposes.
I use to work in a care home for MJ a beautiful lady in her 30's with physical and learning disability also blind with fragile bones (which is important later). MJ a little petty and finds being naughty or cheeky hilarious.
We were out on a girly shopping trip for new wardrobe as MJ had drastically gained a lot of weight during over 18 months due to physio and hydro being cancelled due to covid and building work. Due to her needs her wheelchair is a little longer and bulkier than the average and her right leg support is straight out as she cant bend it . (also important for later), Also I have to explain what's going on every few minute so MJ knows what's going on and MJ doesn't always know if she's involved in conversations so this is also explained.
After a lovely brunch is a department store we headed down in lift. To resume the shopping. This is when the incident occurred. due to the size of her wheelchair she takes up a good portion of the lift so I have no room to move, can only wheel in and reverse out. As the lift lowered I could hear children approx. 5 -9 in age and guessing 4 in total. The doors took there sweet time to open.
When they did I quietly swore because the store had a massive redesign during the lock down and what was once a nice clear area around the lift was now a narrow area surrounded by a sofa and display stands leaving me a very tight turning space. I then realised the children I heard where using this narrow space to play It/tag and were not 4 was about 6 to 8.
I called out to them to Excuse me let us through please. No answer from children and no parent telling them to move . Children still running. MJ is already in giggles as she has worked out things are not going to the plan.
I am now aware that the lift doors will shut again soon so reverse out a little to make sure the safety sensors keep doors open. Also hoping this means the children's adult might notice me better and control the little chaos.
I hoped to much and they got louder so I got LOUDER. I shouted You need to move now your in my way. MJ is now in tears because she thinks I'm shouting at her and is asking why. So I whisper to her to not worry its just some naughty children blocking our way out and I might need to yell at them again and she calms down.
This is when the boy who I think was the oldest replied "where not taking up that much space just walk around us." So waved him closer and he came over I explained the problem. " You see these handles I'm holding on to" he nodded "this means its not just me I need space to turn MJ around, so please give us that space and sit on sofa". His reply "my mummy got through okay with my sister is our pram so you get your baby through too". MJ has decided to join in by singing, "I'm not a baby, your a baby, move naughty naughty baby" . I then spot the mummy and wave my arms in the biggest motions possible to get her attention. But apparently the lacy bra she has in her hand holds all her brain power.
So I shout again. "I'm going to count to 4 and if you kids are not out of my way that's your problem not mine anymore". 1, still kid chaos, 2 , 3, nothing 3 and a half, FOUR !. So I reverse in one quick motion. I'm amazed that I didn't hit walk in to anyone. I take a moment to asses the best route to go and yes the children are still running around. but I no longer care. So I choose go to the section on the left and to do that I have to turn slightly right step backwards line up the wheelchair then go foreword. And the smallest child chose that very moment to run out right in to MJ's right leg support. MJ starts laughing at me for being a bad driver think I hit a display with her leg. I whisper to her what's happened and she laughs more, shrugs and winks at me "oops you told them". Children run over to see there crying sibling and one runs off to tell mum about the mean lady. I check the little girl over (I'm first aid trained and she risked more harm to MJ then her) and went to shop. That's when mum finally appeared and yelled at me "Watch where your going, you Spazzie Retard you hit my kid."
So In the UK these are about the worst words you can use to describe a disabled person. I took the worlds biggest breath and willed my professional BS filter to sensor my inner rage. But MJ had my back. " I can't watch where I'm going I'm blind and she had to parent your kids because you were too busy, she meant to help me shop not babysit kids , good bye B\*ch". I smiled sweetly trying not to laugh and we left her shouting about court . A staff member came over to see if we okay and I explained the situation and they go kicked out of the store of endangering customers.*
After reporting this story to the manager she laughed (unofficially told me served the woman right) and told me to record it for policy just in case she memorised the logo on my badge .But I did not get into trouble. No one was harmed apart from a possible bruise on the child's leg.

Yes I know, overly asked question. And before you start saying “change diet and exercise” ….. I am a non smoker, non-drinker, adhd, ptsd, ocd.

Walk daily through a park with a river. Not seeing any results with my weight though and it’s starting to concern me. I gained close to 50lbs in a year after quitting smoking and experiencing extreme trauma & grief. Only medications are nuvaring & sabutomal inhaler. 28f, 5’4, 170lbs.
Supplements I’m on now: Vitamin C, vitamin d, magnesium bi-glycinate, 5-htp, l-tyrosine, pysllium husk, chelidonium plex(temporary) and d-hist(temporary) I also drink a mix of turmeric, black pepper, ginger, cinnamon & cayenne pepper 2x a day for pain management in 40oz of water.
Any input is appreciated 🙂

So for starters I work in a sportsbook attached to a bar. Yesterday was the 2nd leg of the triple crown and the Fury/Usyk fight. When there's big events like this on it always brings in new customers, many who just wonder in because they can't believe they can actually legally gamble inside a sports bar. I've been working in Sportsbooks for over a year and I've kinda gotten used to the normal questions that come on days like these.
While it is the Preakness our Sportsbook doesn't offer horse racing. To save people from wasting time who are interested in betting horses I have posted a sign at the front of the door that clearly states we do not offer horse racing, and to bet online if they are trying to get Preakness bets in. Then in walks the boomer...
The problems start immediately at the door. Everyone who walks in the sportsbook must show ID to security. It doesn't matter if you're a regular who's in everyday or if it's your first time, it's required to make sure you're over 21, and to make sure you aren't banned from the property, or self excluded from gambling and we are extremely strict about it.
The boomer tries to walk right past our security and right to me because he's got questions. My security cuts him off immediately.
Security: Excuse me sir I need to see your ID
BB: Whaaat? My ID? You can't tell I'm over 21? I'm more than 21 x3
Security: I can see that sir, I still need your ID
BB: oh man you need a couple vials of blood too?
Security: No sir just your ID is fine
Boomer proceeds to take a solid 2 mins just to wrangle his ID out of his wallet. Security checks it, proceeds to give it back and the boomer then heads to me.
Starts by telling me how this is his first time and wants to know some information...great what's up man. Asks if we have business cards or brochures. I say no. His face starts to get a little red. He asks how he's supposed to get any information on the place. I politely told him his phone. Which he was holding in his hand out of his side holster. Face starts to get a little more red and proceeds to give me a speech about how cell phones don't always work and then told me we should really have physical literature for people who don't get on their phone. Sure thing sir I'll keep that in mind, anything else?
Asks me the stores hours for everyday of the week. I start to tell him but wait he's gotta write it down. Proceeds to take my security's sticky notes without asking that he has things already written on. I stop him immediately and say sir give that back (like I'm talking to a child). I take one sticky note and hand it to him. He gets smart and says "oh you sure it's ok I have this one ha ha ha" I give him the hours. He then asks what other locations we have, I tell him.
Finally after this dickhead has managed to piss me, my ticket taker, and security all off in a 5 minute span he finally starts to place a bet....what does this motherfucker start with? Take a guess? Oh well I wanna bet Mystic Dan to place... fucking horse racing. I let go that he walked past a sign directly in his eye line that says we don't have horse racing, and politely said "I'm sorry sir we don't offer horse racing here.
BB: Whaaat? How can you not have horse racing the Preakness is on.
Me: We don't have the license to offer horse racing sir
BB: Why?
Me: That's above me sir
BB: 😡
The boomer fucks off and hangs out at the bar for a few minutes. He walks back in while my ticket taker and I are assisting another customer. He walks right up to security and asks him to look up a round o/u on the Fury/Usyk fight.
Security: No sir I don't do that I'm security, you'll have to wait till they're done assisting this customer.
BB: 😡
We finally get to him. Places a $20 fucking dollar bet after all his bullshit. $20 fucking dollars. I tell him have a great day with a smile, 30 minutes later his bet loses and all is good in the world.

I'm in my mid 30s and have been married for more than five years. There's absolutely nothing wrong with my relationship other than me and my desire to have more without ever acting on it. As the years ticked by, my sexual needs and desires grew and grew. I did what most do and turned to porn and Dirty Reddit chats to supplement what I wasn't getting in the bedroom.
As the law of diminishing returns held true, I decided to escalate. I made a dating profile in a city across the country where I frequent for work. I used real pictures, honest details and a fake first name. I'm a good looking, fit and successful guy but was still surprised at how much attention I got on the app. When I got married these apps were just taking off so the whole experience was exciting.
After a few days I met lots of interesting people but made two deeper connections with two women in particular, both very intelligent in high status jobs. The conversations and connections were so deep and fun I felt like a teenager again. We chatted frequently over two weeks to the point that my excuses for not asking them out were wearing thin (travel, busy, moving, etc).
After some thought I decided to make up a story to my wife and book a flight to the city. I booked a hotel for the week and followed through on the dates I set to take each of them for a nice high end dinner. The entire process was incredibly anxiety provoking but I was able to compartmentalise by telling myself that I'm just meeting some friends in a different city.
My backstory is me with minor details changed. This makes things natural. I scrubbed my socials and cleared my footprint so that just enough information can be found if you stumble across me. Before I gave my number, I told each of them my real name with a reasonable reason as to why I used a fake one - each accepted my explanation.
When I met the first one, I literally almost fainted from anxiety. After a few minutes I got it together and became myself. To say I had fun is an understatement, it was exciting, awkward, nervous and everything in-between. I had so much fun. We had so much fun.
She invited me to her place and we hung out. We did the typical slow burn and ended up making out. Then moving further and further. At one point she told me I was shaking as I laughed it off. But in reality I was so nervous. We reached her bedroom and for some reason I wasn't able to get it up. She was great and supportive but it was clear my nerves got the best of me. We fell asleep and I woke up a few hours later ready to go. We ended up having absolutely mind melting sex.
Over the week we had several more dates and hooked up having absolutely 10/10 sex each time that somehow got better after each encounter. The dates and the sex were amazing. It restored whatever was lost inside me and made me feel like a man again. This still feels amazing as I slowly became demasculated for no particular reason in my relationship and developed an odd cuck fetish which actively turns me off now.
To avoid suspicion, I ended it slowly and honestly. It was hard. It was a real breakup even though almost everything was fake. Even if I wanted, there were too many lies for anything to ever work which I'm sure I did subconsciously by design.
I am now back home with my wife as if nothing ever happened, refreshed. I'm calm and normal with subtle flashes of wonderful times I had away in my alternate reality. There was so much risk and excitement with what I did, but the most fascinating part of it all was how easy it was to manipulate my way to get what I wanted. My lies and half truths flowed off my tongue. My backstory held up under intense pressure when red flags appeared. It was simple to connect with such an intelligent someone under such false pretences.
I realize I am a horrible person but my brain has somehow compartmentalized the entire experience as if it never happened which is making it difficult to manage and reflect.
