Many physicians, mid-level providers, practice managers, administrators, billers and front desk staff members have questions about coding. Today's demand for certified professional coders (CPCs) is growing as many jobs in the coding and billing field now require certification. Health care professionals involved in coding, compliance, billing, administration and reimbursement aspects of medicine should be certified as part of a compliance program.

2024.06.02 10:37 Training-Savings-187 Self assessment (as employee?) and tax bill
I’ve just found out that as I earned over 100k for the past two years I had to fill in self assessment.
The only way I found out was by calling HMRC to ask them if putting me on a 0T tax code for the 24/25 year was correct. As soon as they said I needed to the self assessments I filled them in and sent off immediately.
I’ve just had to pay 2k for the 22/23 tax year - they have just informed me for the 23/24 I have until the end of January to pay just over 5k…
23/24 I earned ÂŁ150,000 on a 968T tax code
Can anyone let me know if this looks correct? I asked the advisor why the 5k tax bill can’t come out of my future payslips to avoid being taxed twice on my savings - he could not tell me why but said that is has to be this way which seems ridiculous
Thanks

2024.06.02 10:33 TopPomegranate4432 Octopus Energy – free £50 bonus when you switch to Octopus
Octopus Energy is offering a free £50 credit to anyone that switches their energy provider to them via referral. If you’re a business, you would get £100 for switching. You can switch no matter what type of meter you have (smart, standard or economy 7) but you’d need to switch both your gas and electricity. Another plus: no fees if you decide to switch out elsewhere at any time!
How to get your free ÂŁ50 bonus with Octopus Energy:
1. Sign up using my referral link here
2. Enter your post code and answer questions about your current energy use to receive a price quote. Click "Sign me up" to see the details about the proposed tariff, then confirm the switch once you’re happy.
TIP: When getting the quote, enter your “actual” energy usage using an old bill instead of choosing the “low, medium, high” options – although, you can easily reduce your monthly direct debit payments online once your account is created. I was able to manually lower my monthly direct debit by about 70% - it’s brilliant that Octopus allows this flexibility.
3. Enter your gas and electricity meter ID numbers, so have an old bill ready as they will be on there. Octopus is brilliant at updating you via email on the whole process with what you need to do at each step.
4. Your ÂŁ50 reward will be credited to your account after your first direct debit has been taken - I received mine 2 weeks after the direct debit.
My experience: I switched from Shell Energy to Octopus as Octopus worked out cheaper across the board for both gas and electricity, so the £50 switch reward was a total bonus. I initially chose the Flexible Octopus tariff, then later changed it to their even cheaper Octopus Tracker – so I would highly recommend one of these two tariffs if you’re looking to undercut other suppliers. Another plus: no fees if you decide to switch out elsewhere at any time!
Timeline: The £50 reward was applied to my account less than 2 weeks after my first direct debit was taken and the switch process was probably the smoothest I’ve ever experienced. Really impressed.

2024.06.02 10:17 NorthernSilu International marriage, financial responsibilities and widowhood
I've been marriage to my Turkish husband for six years in the Scandinavian country. Unfortunately he's about to die in weeks to terminal cancer being situated now in the palliative care unit.
I've been the main provider of our family (no children) due to my regular job and incomes, he's been unemployed the whole time with minimal social benefits and sickness allowance. For example all the rents and electricity bills were paid by me.
Few years ago he sold his apartment (it was left to him by non relative will) in Turkey, another 30% of that money was transfered here for the car he wanted to buy and some othe daily expenses like private dentist, basic clothes etc. Nothing fancy was bought nor I didn't get anything special for myself.
Rest of the money was kept in Turkish bank account and eventually used to buy new apartment to his parents. They already owned decent one but wanted change the city and the old one was rented as an further investment for parents. My husband was promised they would sell the extra apartment if he needed for starting business or other investments or needs. At this point I didn't know about who's name was in the apartment contract papers or any other details. Of course I didn't and don't have any specific details about Turkish legislation concerning marriage finances, obligations or property owning possibilities. And I trusted my in laws and their family.
Last year after my husband's hopeless diagnosis we started to talk about the inheritance issues. (I have to admit he hasn't been interested in any legal or bureaucratic issues, taxes etc. I was dealing his benefit applications and tax reports yearly.) I was asking who really owns that new apartment of parents and it's theirs. So my husband apparently never had legal rights to use money invested to that in any way, nor I as a future widow. Only obligation from parents was moral one at the most.
By the time of diagnosis there was no extra money left at my husband's bank account. Interestingly parents didn't see any need to sell the appartment after my husband's diagnosis for his medical expenses, daily expenses like nutritious food and winter clothes, dentist cost or vetenerary costs or their own flight tickets to greet his only child to give support. My husband's dream for decades was travel around Northern parts of Scandinavia and Lapland, this never happened either. I should have had two jobs to make his last year a decent and memorable one.
Now the parents and other relatives started to talk about the inheritance issues, they finally arrived to my husband's dying bed. They don't want the car or profit from selling it as act of good will but according to our inheritance law they won't anyways inherit cause my husband permanent residence was here, not in Turkey. I'm the only member of death estate.
Now the question is what was really going on in Turkey; why the leftover money was used to parents new apartment, who was behind this idea and what kind of transactions and contracts were made. I was told few weeks ago by husbands relative that he has some debt required to pay in Turkey. My husband was told and lied earlier he was financially clear in Turkey. I suspect that they was need to hide the money or property, also taxes are most likely not paid properly.
The very same relatives active and "helping" in this case will inherit my husbands parents in the future.
This has been pure torture to me in the middle of saying goodbye to my love one. My husbands relatives have been messing and planning other things too behind my back, also threats has been made.
Me, my family and friends plus health care staff consider all this as a deeply disrespectful, hurting and dishonest behavior. In Scandinavia our values and respect for human and individual rights are uncompromised.
What would you do in my case?

2024.06.02 10:15 AutoModerator Benefits of Health Insurance for International Students in the USA
Health Insurance for International Students in the USA: Education has no borders, and many international students are drawn to the United States for its world-class universities and vibrant culture. However, while pursuing academic dreams on foreign soil, one aspect that often gets overlooked is health insurance. In this guide, we will delve into the intricacies of health insurance for international students in the USA, equipping you with the knowledge to safeguard your well-being during your educational journey.

Understanding the Significance of Health Insurance
Why is Health Insurance Vital for International Students in the USA?
The United States is renowned for its cutting-edge healthcare but is equally notorious for its high costs. This necessitates that international students prioritize health insurance. A medical emergency can quickly spiral into an overwhelming financial burden without adequate coverage. Health insurance ensures access to quality healthcare without the constant worry of staggering medical bills.2024.06.02 09:51 No-Cook9827 Broke and physically unwell
I am 22 years old and 24 weeks pregnant. I currently work a job at a security company making 14 per hour. I am the only one working. My boyfriend has lost 2 jobs in the span of two months. He's been unemployed for a bout a month and a half. I can't afford my bills and next month will probably lose either my apartment or car. I am considering getting a second job because I'm tired of waiting for him to find one. The only problem is every turn I take is a complication. Just a few days ago I had to go to the doctor due to contractions. The contractions get worse with physical activity and don't go away with hydration. I had them consistently for 5 hours before medication was admistered to stop them. I don't want to get a second job but I don't know what else to do. I'm tired of being tired, sick, and depressed.

2024.06.02 09:36 Mayankt2t Does whistle-blower thing always end up against the blower?
Context: I work in Private limited MNC , parent company in Japan. They claim to follow policys of Human rights and data protection. Case: I work here for like 12 years now I got diagnosed with ADHD last year My Department head is difficult to talk to insensitive,rude and all never give feedback of performance and kept me in silence and self doubt. I didn't complaint about it as 99% of us do let it be and focus on other thing . But my condition did went to normal to worst because of silence about my performance. I was worried about ADHD meds and Therapy bills so I try to find if medical insurance covers for it but it didn't. So I become naive and sent my diagnosis and accomodation request to HR head . HR try to avoid it but as it was on EMAIL he forwarded my diagnosis to my Manager ( I did told him last month about ADHD because I thought he might understand and stop treating me like this) so HR asked for discussion and said that I already told him about diagnosis and let's discuss what can done if I am even fit or not to work. So now the problem started as my manager got email he called me to meeting room and also included his junior (Chamcha) and let him read My diagnosis Email read a loud to sort of shaming on me and what have you done , It will be difficult for you in future and all.
Now to present day I escalated this to Top management under whistle _blower policy and callout my Manager in it on Human rights and Data protection ground. I did face extreme mental stress and my condition got even worst. Apart from they deny my claim and make me to quit are general thinking of everyone.
But what can I do to get justice if they throw me out ?
I know I don't write properly and my ADHD is not madeup and I have history OCD anxiety. Just need some Objective points here. I know fighting for rights is western phenomena and didn't work in India but I also believe if there are rules some do try to follow.
I don't want to read lecture that I am stupid for doing all this . I know this and I am tired of this . Thanks peace to everyone:)

2024.06.02 09:21 sodumbfounded Was I (F29) emotionally abused by my ex husband (M35)? Or more?
Hi, I wasn't sure where to post this, so please let me know if there's a better sub for this, but I wanted to ask for multiple different opinions on this because I've been so confused about it. I might still be in denial? Hold on tight, this one is a doozy. And I'll probably delete it after a couple days or so.
So I was in an online relationship with this man for a couple years until we met in person in 2016, then married in 2019. I'm counting all 7 years as the whole relationship, but we were only married for 1. Some background information about him is he was abused as a kid. By his dad physically, and by his neighbor (SA). Now he was also in an accident involving a semitruck, which ruptured a couple disks in his back I believe? And this is why he told me he smoked marijuana. For his back, for medical reasons. I was ok with that. It was whatever. None of this seemed to truly bother him, so he seemed pretty easy going.
Fast forward to the marriage. (For informational purposes related to the story, I'm christian and don't believe in living with a man before marriage so I was unaware of a lot.) About 3 months in, he stops doing the marijuana and things go downhill fast. He only stopped because he knew I never really liked him smoking, but again, I was fine with it because his was for medical reasons. I told him this. He didn't want to smoke it again. Okay.
He starts taking up drinking instead to dowse the pain (he never went to the doctor for it and refused), but then some other issues started rising. He told me he wasn't drinking much, but I'd find empty bottles of alcohol stuffed into the couch, under the bed, behind the dresser, etc. It just didn't add up to the amount of times I saw him drinking. I told him we couldn't afford his alcohol, he kept buying it anyway.
Another point: I was the only one working and paying bills majority of the time. He couldn't hold a job and stayed home doing nothing I guess. No cleaning, no anything. I didn't know it was going to be like this before we got married. He seemed like he knew his priorities with saving money and getting bills paid and keeping things organized. That's what he told me anyway. But everything was always a mess when I got home and I was the only one making sure anything got paid.
Anyways, he also said he started seeing this... demon figure? Or something. In our apartment. It bothered him and freaked him out. I never saw it, but he'd sometimes see it in the closet or going from room to room or in the corner, and he even told me its name was Seth. One time we were arguing and he yelled out BEHIND me to "SHUT UP." And... to clarify... he made sure I knew he wasn't talking to me, but the thing behind me. There was no thing behind me. It was just us. So that periodically was happening through this entire ordeal.
Now when he started drinking, he started having these "episodes." They happened maybe once a week, once every other week? He seemed to get really frustrated about his past or something related to it, and he'd get so angry. So angry that he'd start punching things like the wall. And during these episodes he seemed like a completely different person. I NEVER saw anything close to this side of him before marrying him. Nobody warned me of this. None of his family. I didn't know what was going on. I'm not even sure if his family knows??? He just went on a rampage. I just tried my best to console him quietly for the longest time until he seemed somewhat normal again. Then he was ok in the morning again. These episodes only seemed to happen at night. Over the course of the next few months, these episodes only got more frequent to the point where they were happening pretty much every night (I think the alcohol just helps trigger it along) and more aggressive. I stayed around each time to try and calm him down, but it never really worked. So I just ended up losing sleep over it in the long run.
I mentioned several times that we/he should see a therapist or counseling or something, but he refused. He told me he was fine and that all he needed was me. He didn't believe in therapy... which sucked for me because he needed it majorly.
During these months while he was jobless, he'd find some way to fracture his fingers, whether it be punching a wall, or just... hitting something? Idk. I legit can't count how many times he had to put his fingers in splints. Idk if he was accident prone, or if he REALLY wanted to get out of finding a job, liked being the victim and getting me to feel sorry for him (which I did a LOT), or all of the above. He needed babying a lot, let me just say. When I said he needed a job to help me with the bills, he wanted me to come with him to this temp ageny place I went to to get a job, so I agreed. But every time I came home from work and asked to go, he said "tomorrow," or "next week." Always coming up with excuses of not feeling good or he fractured another finger, or something. Idk.
(Warning, sexual topic here) Another thing was happening during these months as well. During my sleep, he'd finger me in my sleep (and then proceed to try to put himself in me). At like 1am, when I had to get up at 4:30am to go to work and needed sleep (keep in mind, all his nightly episodes were ALSO happening still, so 1am is probably not too long after I ACTUALLY went to sleep. He kept me up a lot). I told him no several times but he wouldn't stop. This happened multiple times. I was exhausted. His excuse? "You were wet." Yes, because my body naturally reacted to stimulation. It took maybe 5-10 minutes or so until he gave up.
(More sexual topic) Whenever we DID have sex was fine. But obviously there were times where he wanted it and I didn't, and when I did and he didn't. The issue came when he wanted it and I didn't. If I said no, I had to say no several times. And eventually he'd stop. Everything. Stop cuddling, stop talking, stop everything, turn his back to me and just... lay there silently. The cold shoulder. Idk what else to call this but it seriously hurt. I didn't treat him that way. If he didn't want to, I'd accept it and stay cuddling. Over time this really messed with my thinking on whether or not he really loved me or just wanted to use me as a live in sex doll.
I made all the excuses in the book for his actions. His past abuse for one. I guess I felt like he needed me? Or I couldn't leave him? Idk.
There was one night where I stayed up for 5 hours straight, from 10pm to 3am, trying to stop him from punching holes in the walls. I stayed up trying to help him so often, it wore me out to the point where sex was off the table completely for aboouutt the last 4 months of our marriage I believe. I was drained mentally and physically. Frankly I was losing my emotional attachment to him. Then he started claiming I was cheating, because I didn't want sex with him, so I had to be "getting it from somewhere." Lol I went to work and came home. What cheating?
Also, suicidal thoughts. He had those too. He'd say things like "I don't deserve you. I'm better off not here. You deserve so much more. I'm a failure." frequently. I reassured him every time. Eventually I got tired of this too.
Towards the end I was speaking seriously with him. I bluntly told him things would need to change and he'd need a therapist or I'd be divorcing him. And I wouldn't throw that word around if I didn't mean it. I was on my last straw because I couldn't help him and he was dragging me down into depression avenue too and making me lose tons of sleep on top of everything. He didn't take my words seriously.
The last night that made me leave was the worst. Now, it started off with me going to bed because I had work in the morning. He wanted sex again. Surprise surprise. I said no, I need to sleep. He went quiet for a minute. My anxiety went up because I felt like something was going to happen, and sure enough....... he suddenly pops off the bed and says he can destroy his Pokémon cards to prove his love. What kind of insanity is that?
Firstly, this is the 3rd time he'd attempt to destroy his cards. Secondly, I knew how much they meant to him so I stopped him from doing that both times before. Thirdly, haha these were original Pocket Monster backed cards. Yay. Fourth... I didn't give a crap anymore and let him destroy them. He took them out of the closet and to the bathtub. He just submerged them all in water. I finally got out of bed and went "here we go again..." and went to go watch him so he wouldn't hurt himself. Idk. I couldn't stop him. I was dead tired.
After he successfully ruined all the cards, it's like a switch flipped and he was suddenly yelling "what did I do?!?!" Over and over again. He was in the tub with the cards and was throwing the cards up in the air. He was angry with himself.
This was around 12am. He decides to throw the cards in a trash bag and take them out to the dump at the front of the complex... now. Like he couldn't wait. (I also want to mention I hated when he stayed up later than I did because he always forgot to lock the doors even if I reminded him, so I always felt like I had to stay up. I woke up one morning with our porch door just... open. Not even closed. I couldn't trust it after that.) He also mentioned offing himself again, and then stuffed one of our glocks in his pocket while taking the bag (yes, stupid to have guns in this situation, I know). He claimed it was for protection while he went to the trash. While I believed that, I wasn't going to chance anything, so I managed to get the gun from his pocket and unload it. Then I quickly stashed it next to mine on my side of the bed.
Obviously he wanted to get it back, so I was wrestling him the whole way. Managed to keep him from it, so he got angry and punched the wall behind me, causing his knuckles to bleed. (This triggered me because by this point, I already cleaned up his blood numerous times before. Walls and my shirt because he flung his hand and it sprayed both) So I start crying and asking to take him to the bathroom to clean him up so I don't have to clean up anything else. I was tired, I wanted to go to bed and sleep so I could just get up for work. He refused, but I managed to push him there. Where... he proceeded to fling his hand and the blood splattered across the bathroom wall instead. sigh
This is when we hear a knock at the door and "POLICE." The neighbors called in domestic violence on us because we were so loud. I never had any run ins with police, so I got scared to open the door, but he opened it. I stood beside him. I had blood on my shirt from him pushing me aside and he had blood on him obviously. It didn't look good.
The police asked if they could come in and it was like another switch flipped in my ex's head (because he never acted like this around anybody else but me) so he started acting almost normal again instead of whatever his hysteria was. He told them it was completely fine and they didn't have to come in. But in that moment, my ex scared me so bad by that one flip of his personality that I told the police to come in. I was just glad to be able to speak to someone sane.
When they questioned us, they quickly realized I was the only one capable of answering their questions coherently and spoke with us separately. Eventually it ended with them waiting for me to gather my things and walking me out to my car so I could drive to my parent's house. Meanwhile my ex legit told the police "it's your fault we're separating." And I just told him that it wasn't, and walked out.
He later claims the police had to hold him back from going after me but I never saw this and don't know how true it is after his lies. He lied about his bills to me over the phone when we were still online dating. He also held back information about "almost sleeping with a random woman" when we were online dating. They "got naked" and "didn't do anything" and claims he didn't know we were dating at the time, but still felt guilty about it and told me about it after we got married?? Idk. And I still forgave him on the spot. Maybe that stuff doesn't matter so much, but still. Yes, I got tested. Clear.
I never went back. I was too scared. I still don't know what to make of it to this day because a lot of things were nonsense (a lot of craziness still left out, but this was the main stuff). I realize his past may play a major part of this, but I still feel messed up from it. (Yes I probably need to go to a therapist myself, but I've also doing forms of positive self therapy exercises as well for the time being until I can actually go. I'm MUCH happier now, don't worry.)
What are your opinions on this, if you actually made it this far? I'm just struggling to call it abuse maybe because he was abused himself? Or was this even abuse? What are your outside perspectives on it?
Tl;dr: Abused ex husband becomes enraged at night, punching holes in walls, causing me to lose sleep and sanity.

Now he was also in an accident involving a semitruck, which ruptured a couple disks in his back I believe? And this is why he told me he smoked marijuana. For his back, for medical reasons. I was ok with that. It was whatever. None of this seemed to truly bother him, so he seemed pretty easy going.
Fast forward to the marriage. (For informational purposes related to the story, I'm christian and don't believe in living with a man before marriage so I was unaware of a lot.) About 3 months in, he stops doing the marijuana and things go downhill fast. He only stopped because he knew I never really liked him smoking, but again, I was fine with it because his was for medical reasons. I told him this. He didn't want to smoke it again. Okay.
He starts taking up drinking instead to dowse the pain (he never went to the doctor for it and refused), but then some other issues started rising. He told me he wasn't drinking much, but I'd find empty bottles of alcohol stuffed into the couch, under the bed, behind the dresser, etc. It just didn't add up to the amount of times I saw him drinking. I told him we couldn't afford his alcohol, he kept buying it anyway.
Another point: I was the only one working and paying bills majority of the time. He couldn't hold a job and stayed home doing nothing I guess. No cleaning, no anything. I didn't know it was going to be like this before we got married. He seemed like he knew his priorities with saving money and getting bills paid and keeping things organized. That's what he told me anyway. But everything was always a mess when I got home and I was the only one making sure anything got paid.
Anyways, he also said he started seeing this... demon figure? Or something. In our apartment. It bothered him and freaked him out. I never saw it, but he'd sometimes see it in the closet or going from room to room or in the corner, and he even told me its name was Seth. One time we were arguing and he yelled out BEHIND me to "SHUT UP." And... to clarify... he made sure I knew he wasn't talking to me, but the thing behind me. There was no thing behind me. It was just us. So that periodically was happening through this entire ordeal.
Now when he started drinking, he started having these "episodes." They happened maybe once a week, once every other week? He seemed to get really frustrated about his past or something related to it, and he'd get so angry. So angry that he'd start punching things like the wall. And during these episodes he seemed like a completely different person. I NEVER saw anything close to this side of him before marrying him. Nobody warned me of this. None of his family. I didn't know what was going on. I'm not even sure if his family knows??? He just went on a rampage. I just tried my best to console him quietly for the longest time until he seemed somewhat normal again. Then he was ok in the morning again. These episodes only seemed to happen at night. Over the course of the next few months, these episodes only got more frequent to the point where they were happening pretty much every night (I think the alcohol just helps trigger it along) and more aggressive. I stayed around each time to try and calm him down, but it never really worked. So I just ended up losing sleep over it in the long run.
I mentioned several times that we/he should see a therapist or counseling or something, but he refused. He told me he was fine and that all he needed was me. He didn't believe in therapy... which sucked for me because he needed it majorly.
During these months while he was jobless, he'd find some way to fracture his fingers, whether it be punching a wall, or just... hitting something? Idk. I legit can't count how many times he had to put his fingers in splints. Idk if he was accident prone, or if he REALLY wanted to get out of finding a job, liked being the victim and getting me to feel sorry for him (which I did a LOT), or all of the above. He needed babying a lot, let me just say. When I said he needed a job to help me with the bills, he wanted me to come with him to this temp ageny place I went to to get a job, so I agreed. But every time I came home from work and asked to go, he said "tomorrow," or "next week." Always coming up with excuses of not feeling good or he fractured another finger, or something. Idk.
(Warning, sexual topic here) Another thing was happening during these months as well. During my sleep, he'd finger me in my sleep (and then proceed to try to put himself in me). At like 1am, when I had to get up at 4:30am to go to work and needed sleep (keep in mind, all his nightly episodes were ALSO happening still, so 1am is probably not too long after I ACTUALLY went to sleep. He kept me up a lot). I told him no several times but he wouldn't stop. This happened multiple times. I was exhausted. His excuse? "You were wet." Yes, because my body naturally reacted to stimulation. It took maybe 5-10 minutes or so until he gave up.
(More sexual topic) Whenever we DID have sex was fine. But obviously there were times where he wanted it and I didn't, and when I did and he didn't. The issue came when he wanted it and I didn't. If I said no, I had to say no several times. And eventually he'd stop. Everything. Stop cuddling, stop talking, stop everything, turn his back to me and just... lay there silently. The cold shoulder. Idk what else to call this but it seriously hurt. I didn't treat him that way. If he didn't want to, I'd accept it and stay cuddling. Over time this really messed with my thinking on whether or not he really loved me or just wanted to use me as a live in sex doll.
I made all the excuses in the book for his actions. His past abuse for one. I guess I felt like he needed me? Or I couldn't leave him? Idk.
There was one night where I stayed up for 5 hours straight, from 10pm to 3am, trying to stop him from punching holes in the walls. I stayed up trying to help him so often, it wore me out to the point where sex was off the table completely for aboouutt the last 4 months of our marriage I believe. I was drained mentally and physically. Frankly I was losing my emotional attachment to him. Then he started claiming I was cheating, because I didn't want sex with him, so I had to be "getting it from somewhere." Lol I went to work and came home. What cheating?
Also, suicidal thoughts. He had those too. He'd say things like "I don't deserve you. I'm better off not here. You deserve so much more. I'm a failure." frequently. I reassured him every time. Eventually I got tired of this too.
Towards the end I was speaking seriously with him. I bluntly told him things would need to change and he'd need a therapist or I'd be divorcing him. And I wouldn't throw that word around if I didn't mean it. I was on my last straw because I couldn't help him and he was dragging me down into depression avenue too and making me lose tons of sleep on top of everything. He didn't take my words seriously.
The last night that made me leave was the worst. Now, it started off with me going to bed because I had work in the morning. He wanted sex again. Surprise surprise. I said no, I need to sleep. He went quiet for a minute. My anxiety went up because I felt like something was going to happen, and sure enough....... he suddenly pops off the bed and says he can destroy his Pokémon cards to prove his love. What kind of insanity is that?
Firstly, this is the 3rd time he'd attempt to destroy his cards. Secondly, I knew how much they meant to him so I stopped him from doing that both times before. Thirdly, haha these were original Pocket Monster backed cards. Yay. Fourth... I didn't give a crap anymore and let him destroy them. He took them out of the closet and to the bathtub. He just submerged them all in water. I finally got out of bed and went "here we go again..." and went to go watch him so he wouldn't hurt himself. Idk. I couldn't stop him. I was dead tired.
After he successfully ruined all the cards, it's like a switch flipped and he was suddenly yelling "what did I do?!?!" Over and over again. He was in the tub with the cards and was throwing the cards up in the air. He was angry with himself.
This was around 12am. He decides to throw the cards in a trash bag and take them out to the dump at the front of the complex... now. Like he couldn't wait. (I also want to mention I hated when he stayed up later than I did because he always forgot to lock the doors even if I reminded him, so I always felt like I had to stay up. I woke up one morning with our porch door just... open. Not even closed. I couldn't trust it after that.) He also mentioned offing himself again, and then stuffed one of our glocks in his pocket while taking the bag (yes, stupid to have guns in this situation, I know). He claimed it was for protection while he went to the trash. While I believed that, I wasn't going to chance anything, so I managed to get the gun from his pocket and unload it. Then I quickly stashed it next to mine on my side of the bed.
Obviously he wanted to get it back, so I was wrestling him the whole way. Managed to keep him from it, so he got angry and punched the wall behind me, causing his knuckles to bleed. (This triggered me because by this point, I already cleaned up his blood numerous times before. Walls and my shirt because he flung his hand and it sprayed both) So I start crying and asking to take him to the bathroom to clean him up so I don't have to clean up anything else. I was tired, I wanted to go to bed and sleep so I could just get up for work. He refused, but I managed to push him there. Where... he proceeded to fling his hand and the blood splattered across the bathroom wall instead. sigh
This is when we hear a knock at the door and "POLICE." The neighbors called in domestic violence on us because we were so loud. I never had any run ins with police, so I got scared to open the door, but he opened it. I stood beside him. I had blood on my shirt from him pushing me aside and he had blood on him obviously. It didn't look good.
The police asked if they could come in and it was like another switch flipped in my ex's head (because he never acted like this around anybody else but me) so he started acting almost normal again instead of whatever his hysteria was. He told them it was completely fine and they didn't have to come in. But in that moment, my ex scared me so bad by that one flip of his personality that I told the police to come in. I was just glad to be able to speak to someone sane.
When they questioned us, they quickly realized I was the only one capable of answering their questions coherently and spoke with us separately. Eventually it ended with them waiting for me to gather my things and walking me out to my car so I could drive to my parent's house. Meanwhile my ex legit told the police "it's your fault we're separating." And I just told him that it wasn't, and walked out.
He later claims the police had to hold him back from going after me but I never saw this and don't know how true it is after his lies. He lied about his bills to me over the phone when we were still online dating. He also held back information about "almost sleeping with a random woman" when we were online dating. They "got naked" and "didn't do anything" and claims he didn't know we were dating at the time, but still felt guilty about it and told me about it after we got married?? Idk. And I still forgave him on the spot. Maybe that stuff doesn't matter so much, but still. Yes, I got tested. Clear.
I never went back. I was too scared. I still don't know what to make of it to this day because a lot of things were nonsense (a lot of craziness still left out, but this was the main stuff). I realize his past may play a major part of this, but I still feel messed up from it. (Yes I probably need to go to a therapist myself, but I've also doing forms of positive self therapy exercises as well for the time being until I can actually go. I'm MUCH happier now, don't worry.)
What are your opinions on this, if you actually made it this far? I'm just struggling to call it abuse maybe because he was abused himself? Or was this even abuse? What are your outside perspectives on it?
Tl;dr: Abused ex husband becomes enraged at night, punching holes in walls, causing me to lose sleep and sanity.

2024.06.02 08:24 TheLotStore The Dos and Don'ts of Buying Land in Arkansas
 | The Dos and Don'ts of Buying Land in Arkansas submitted by TheLotStore to u/TheLotStore [link] [comments] The Essentials and To Avoids of Acquiring Land in Arkansas If you've ever aspired to possess your own portion of the American dream in Arkansas, you're not the only one. With its breathtaking terrains, amiable communities, and relatively modest cost of living, Arkansas is an attractive prospect for anyone interested in purchasing land. However, before taking the leap and making a substantial investment, it's crucial to comprehend the essential steps and mistakes to avoid when acquiring land in Arkansas. In this piece, we will delve into everything you should know before procuring land in the Natural State. Indubitably: Investigate the Property Prior to contemplating the acquisition of land in Arkansas, it is absolutely crucial to extensively scrutinize the property. This encompasses delving into the history of the land, any potential ecological concerns, and any legal constraints that may impact your utilization of the land. Commence by attaining the property's legal description and physical address. This will be indispensable for conducting thorough research. Explore the property's ownership history, any encumbrances or easements, and any potential zoning constraints that could affect your intended use of the land. Additionally, it's imperative to contemplate the environmental aspects that may influence the land, such as soil quality, water accessibility, and potential hazards like flood zones or natural disasters. It's equally crucial to inspect for any potential environmental contamination on the property, as this could have serious ramifications for your future utilization of the land. Much of this information can be acquired through local government records, environmental agencies, and private consultants. To Oversee Local Regulations One of the biggest errors that buyers commit when procuring land in Arkansas is disregarding local regulations and zoning restrictions. These regulations can significantly impact the development and use of your land. Prior to making a purchase, it is vital to acquaint yourself with local zoning laws, building codes, and land use regulations. For instance, if you aim to construct a home or a commercial edifice on the land, you'll need to ensure that the property is zoned for that purpose. Similarly, if you intend to utilize the land for agriculture or ranching, you'll need to comprehend any pertinent agricultural/conservation laws and restrictions. Engaging with local government authorities and planning departments can be incredibly beneficial in comprehending and navigating these regulations. By conducting thorough research, you can save yourself from arduous legal battles and compliance issues down the line. It's Essential to Consider the Location Location is pivotal when it comes to acquiring land, and Arkansas offers a broad array of landscapes and regions to select from. Whether you're intrigued by the undulating hills and fertile farmland of the Ozarks, the sprawling forests and rivers of the Ouachita Mountains, or the flat plains of the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, Arkansas caters to diverse preferences. To ensure you choose the right location for your requirements, weigh factors such as proximity to amenities, schools, hospitals, and potential job opportunities. Access to utilities, such as water, electricity, and telecommunications, is also crucial to contemplate when evaluating the location of a prospective property. Aside from these pragmatic considerations, it's important to deliberate the natural beauty and recreational opportunities offered in your desired locale. Arkansas's state and national parks, lakes, and rivers provide ample opportunities for outdoor activities, including fishing, hunting, hiking, and wildlife watching. Avoid Disregarding a Property Inspection Conducting a comprehensive property inspection is one of the most pivotal steps in the land acquisition process. A thorough inspection will disclose any potential issues with the land that could influence its value or usability. Key considerations encompass the topography of the land, the presence of any wetlands or water bodies, soil quality and composition, and any potential hazards such as sinkholes or unstable ground. Enlisting a professional land surveyor or engineer can assist you in identifying these factors and making an informed decision about the property. In addition to the physical attributes of the land, it's crucial to gain a comprehensive understanding of any existing infrastructure, such as wells, septic systems, roads, and fences. An inspection will aid in identifying any potential maintenance or repair needs and factoring these costs into your decision-making process. Ensure Financing is Secured Acquiring land, especially substantial tracts of land, can constitute a significant financial commitment. Prior to commencing the quest for your ideal property, it's crucial to secure financing to ensure you can afford the purchase. Conventional lenders such as banks, credit unions, and mortgage companies may offer land loans, though the terms and requirements may differ from those for traditional home mortgages. Another option is to collaborate with specialized land loan providers who comprehend the distinct needs and risks associated with land acquisitions. Be sure to explore and compare rates and terms from multiple lenders to secure the most advantageous deal. Disregard Property Taxes and Insurance at Your Peril Owning land in Arkansas entails ongoing responsibilities such as property taxes and insurance. Property taxes in Arkansas are evaluated based on the property's assessed value, and rates can fluctuate widely depending on the location and local tax rates. It's indispensable to allocate for these ongoing costs and factor them into your financial planning. Additionally, it's vital to contemplate what insurance coverage may be necessary for your land. Depending on the specific use and location of your land, you may need insurance for hazards such as flooding, fire, or liability. Consulting with an insurance agent well-versed in land ownership in Arkansas can assist you in determining the appropriate coverage for your needs. It's Fundamental to Collaborate with a Real Estate Professional Navigating the intricacies of acquiring land in Arkansas can be daunting, which is why it's highly advisable to collaborate with a reputable real estate professional. A knowledgeable and experienced real estate agent who specializes in land sales in Arkansas can furnish invaluable guidance and support throughout the acquisition process. A real estate professional can aid you in identifying suitable properties, negotiating with sellers, and navigating legal and administrative processes such as land surveys, property inspections, and title searches. Particularly if you are new to land ownership or unfamiliar with the intricacies of the Arkansas real estate market, having a trusted expert by your side can make all the difference. Avoid Hastening the Acquisition Process Ultimately, one of the most significant blunders you can commit when acquiring land in Arkansas is rushing through the process.

2024.06.02 08:24 nunuvyabisnis For wanting to abandon my 2 kids and husband
I've been in an extremely rough spot lately, and want to leave my 2 kids and husband. Now before you judge I do have, in my eyes, good reasoning. I would rather leave my kids and let them know when they want to either via letter or face to face.. reasoning would be that I could not take care of them properly, I would do more harm being there than leaving. I do know myself after all... although its so hard to believe someone could be so cruel to their own kids..I fear I lack control in my emotions. After being on medication for years I still lose my cool. I'm a whole different person when I'm over stimulated and things keep going wrong.. After having 2 under 2... already my fault I know.. I have just been spiraling mentally. I don't think I would ever hurt my kids but I can definitely understand why people do hurt themselves or their kids. IM NOT SAYING ITS RIGHT BY ANY MEAN. I'm starting to yell at my babies, 2 under 2 (one is hardly half of a year old while the other is just under 2) I know this is my fault because I know what happens due to my actions. But this is so much mentally for me, my husband helps as much as he can but due to late nights and between sleep its really just me. But I'm also constantly on the go and lack sleep. I'm puking, losing weight rapidly 40 lbs in 3 months, and am not the nicest person to my kids when I'm overstimulated. In fact if I don't straighten up my kids will start to remember me as someone who would yell often or even abused them (different for everyone yanno). I feel like I constantly am unintentionally trying to pick a fight with my husband every day.. It's like its an unintentional cry for some adult conversation. All I hear everyday is crying and screaming more than laughter. We dont have transportation for the kids and I to get out to see other people and we just moved across country away from all our friends and family. As a kid I had parents who fought often, due to ones mental health being so bad.. More than 90% of my memories are yelling or just not being the parent I knew they could be.. I would much rather them parent from a distance until they had gotten better to parent us.. If at all.. as a kid I dont believe I would have understood but as an adult I would have thanked them more than doing what they had.. I just dont want that for my kids. I dont want to be a villain in their story. I know this wont last forever but I need a break to get better.. I dont know who to turn to.. Family cant just drop everything to help us nor can they home me/my kids & I. Husband cant stop working due to bills and needing to home 2 kids.. But if I continue to stay and not get sleep and continuously hear children day in and out I fear what I might do when I snap..
Now that I think of it... is this a cry for help? Who can lead me in the right direction or have multiple directions if A-Z doesn't work

2024.06.02 08:24 euastros help with landlord and possible discrimination case
hello! this is my first time posting here, so i apologize if anything is a bit muddled. i live in new york (not in the city), and am currently subletting from a friend. however, the landlord is refusing my access to my esa, stating that it's just a house rule (with no given reason). on top of this, most of the house is not up to code. how should i move forward? we've gotten proof from my other housemates that he only targets me on this, not interrogating any other subletter or asking for things like ssn or background checks (i'm only here for a few months). this is all because i have a medically required esa, and when he was confronted on this, he only doubled down, threatened to evict and cancel my friend's lease (without notifying them), was hostile towards me, and when confronted on ada law, refused to acknowledge it and actively is trying to bar me from housing because of my necessary accommodation. what's the best way to go about this situation? i'm just extremely worried as he's only been targeting me. he lives out of state, but has some other people who have access to the house (who he also doesn't disclose to the tenants) so i'm also worried about my safety. thanks so much!

"Sargent Barbara Thornton, 36, born in Olympus Habitable Dome 71D, Mars. Completed Sol Military Academy with top marks, and with distinguished merits in leadership, tactical acumen, and astro physics. For some reason not noted anywhere in her file, was never promoted further, though there is a LOT that has been redacted." His aid paused for a moment. He knew it was only him scanning ahead in Ms. Thornton's file so he casually took another piece of bacon and nibbled on it." She served five cycles admirably on three different ships before finding herself on the Hudson during the Omega Crisis on Proxima Centauri B's habitat rings. She was in charge of a team of specialists that managed against all odds to break through the Elladrin shield wall at Naball Power Core on the second habitat ring." Another pause, before the man across from him cleared his throat, licked his thumb and turned the page.
"While her team was successful, only three of them survived. Barbara was 'legally' dead, however, it's noted here that she still had rather strong brain waves in the initial medical scan and the acting physician had immediately placed her in an available Medical Regeneration Tube. While very expensive and wholly not normal procedure at the time, the Senate ordered whatever could be done for her, and the other two soldiers that they managed to pull out. The Senate wanted to use them as propaganda against the evolving A.I. threat. However, Sgt Thornton, upon fully healing had completed her sixth cycle while in the hospital, and coming up on the end of her physical therapy was ambushed by some overly eager politicians trying to force a photo opportunity. She informed them, in front of the media cameras, that she wasn't a hero, and she sure as hell hadn't voted for ANY of their 'spineless asses'."
"Are you alright sir?" His aid asked as he involuntarily inhaled the swallow of orange juice he had been taking.
"Yes, yes." He cleared his airway and waved for the man to continue. "Just went down the wrong pipe."
His aid looked back at the file in his hands, found his spot and continued. "She actively refused the subsequent Medal of Valor the Senate tried to give her at the time." He paused again. "Ahh, this may be why she was never promoted further. It seems Sgt Thornton, in one way or another while extremely qualified for Naval leadership has managed to piss off enough politicians that even if the Navy tried to get her promoted, they wouldn't be able to." He finished.
"Thank you Bill, anything else I should know before I kick the proverbial hornets nest called the Senate?" Asked President Owlan of the U.S. Alliance. Ms. Thornton deserved something for what she had just done, not to mention for her prior services for the Alliance. " Or how to reward Ms. Thornton and get her to accept it?" He ran his hand through his short brown hair.
"Well Sir, with the Senate being deadlocked right now there is no way of knowing exactly how they will take your offer to Admiral Vahl Mub and the Orion refugees. As far as they know the Orion's we currently have on the Phoenix and Titon 7 are the only surviving members of their species, except maybe a few spacers that might have been away from their system. So technically he has the right to speak for them in front of the Senate. However, we really need to find this 'Regent' that he keeps referring to. They will definitely have the authority to speak for if not the entire Orion species, then at least those refugees from their planet Farcee."
He nodded, it would be a lot easier to sell their entrance into the Alliance if they could find this Orion leader to speak for them. Problem was, during the incident at the B111 Gate pretty much everyone on The Claw and Regents Pride had jettisoned in life pods and though the U.S. Alliance had found a lot of them, in the debris field left from two ships reactors going critical, no one could guarantee they got them all no matter how good the Navy's search and rescue was. The Admiral refusing to speak for his people had put a hold up on his administration pushing through an amendment to allow Interstellar Refugees temporary civilian status. The current law's allowed for them to be accepted but would never allow for them to stay long term, or even offer them an opportunity to become citizens.
From the information he had been given on the situation, and the Swarm ships captured there after, Ms. Thornton had saved billions of Alliance lives, possibly even the Cradle itself if any of those bugs had managed to reach a planet. He had been briefed by Admiral Hornn on that evolving situation and watched a twenty minute POV feed of Master Sgt Grijjeki and his team tore through those insects like a tornado through a tissue paper house. Only two had received wounds in the altercation...out of 479 Broodlings, 12 Broodling Queens bloated with thousands of eggs, and 104 pregnant Varille, only one 21 Broodlings, 1 Queen, and 78 Varille had surrendered. And two Terran Marines lay in the ICU unit on Titan 7 as Navy Dr.'s worked to figure out what they had been injected with. Both were still in critical condition last he had been briefed.
The Admiral could have made it easier on them, he'd tried to convince him. But the Admiral had adamantly refused, saying, " I am a warrior, a soldier, and a grandsire. I can speak about honor, tactics, and the joys of siring a large family. I am not qualified for such a role unless none of the Regents bloodline remains. I can not, and will not represent the whole of my people in anything else at this time." He had then looked directly at him through the video call link, the Admiral's golden cat like eyes narrowed to slits. "I would rather 'suck space' as one of your lieutenants so elegantly put it, as to willingly enter that room with all those 'gratts'." (Snakes, his nanites had taken a second to catch the slang word and translate it.) He chuckled at the memory. He couldn't blame the man, most of the time he felt the same way. "And Ms. Thornton?"
"Well, I may have a workaround. Six cycles ago the Senate pushed through a Salvage law, ostensibly for one of the Senators son's to rake in revenue by....."
He listened to his aid, a smile spreading across his face. Ms. Thornton wouldn't be able to get out of her much deserved reward and promotion. Not this time.
Thanks for the interest folks :) I am not a writer and I can assure you my grammar is horrible on my best days. I will take some time later on and edit what has been pointed out and any minor tweaks needed.

2024.06.02 07:54 Embarrassed-Pear589 I'm working on a hunter x hunter themed ttrpg system and wondering what others think about it (super long)
So this originally started as an idea to use chat gpt to run a DND 5e campaign for me to use to test different character builds, then I started to wonder if I could incorporate hunter x hunter into the game. Using a really really long chat gpt prompt I wrote it actually ended up going really well so I decided to try to make it an entire system that you could kinda hopefully incorporate into any version of DND or other ttrpgs to have your own personalized hunter x hunter campaign. Now this whole thing is really messy but that's just because it's easier for my weird brain to work with. Anyway here's what I have so far 1. Primary Race: Human - The primary race is human, reflecting the "Hunter x Hunter" universe. However, players can customize their characters with unique physical traits or abilities, reflecting the diverse range of human appearances in the series.
Merging the power system and world of "Hunter x Hunter" with the fundamentals of Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) 5th Edition could create a unique and exciting tabletop RPG experience. Here's a basic framework for how it could be done:
Enhanced Speed- Choosing to put 1 or more AP into speed will grant +5 movement speed, +1 to attack bonus, and +1 to AC for every two AP, because enhancing speed is much more difficult and usually only one who's ability allows for it can enhance their speed efficiently.
Enhancing such abilities uses AP but does not deplete it. tho prolonged use of aura will cause it to weaken over time. through training this can be overcome.
In "Hunter x Hunter," each Nen user has an affinity for one of six Nen types: Enhancer, Emitter, Manipulator, Transmuter, Conjurer, and Specialist. We can assign a key ability score to each Nen type for calculating Aura Points (AP) and other Nen-related mechanics. Here's a suggested assignment:
Removing traditional spellcasting and replacing it with a Nen-based system is a significant change that can fully integrate the unique aspects of "Hunter x Hunter" into your D&D game. Here's how you can adapt the Aura Point (AP) system to completely replace spellcasting:
2. Nen Ability Categories - Classify Nen abilities into tiers, similar to spell levels: Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, and Master. - The AP cost for using an ability depends on its tier: Basic (1-2 AP), Intermediate (3-5 AP), Advanced (6-8 AP), Master (9-12 AP).
3. Learning and Developing Nen Abilities - Characters learn new Nen abilities as they level up. The number and tier of abilities they can learn and use are based on their level and key ability score. - Characters can also develop custom Nen abilities in consultation with the DM, tailored to their character's development and story.
4. Aura Point Recovery - AP is fully restored after a long rest. Half of the maximum AP is restored after a short rest. - Certain items or actions in-game could also restore AP.
5. Overexertion Risks - Using more AP than the maximum can lead to overexertion, causing fatigue, reduction in maximum hit points, or other penalties. - Severe overexertion could lead to more drastic consequences, like temporary loss of Nen abilities.
6. Nen Training and Advancement - Include quests or training sessions for characters to increase their AP maximum, reduce Nen ability costs, or learn new abilities. - This system allows for character growth and the pursuit of mastery over Nen.
7. Nen-Based Defense and Attacks - Allow characters to use AP to enhance physical attacks, defense, or to perform feats like enhanced jumps, bursts of speed, etc.
8. Balancing Nen Abilities - The DM should ensure Nen abilities are balanced within the game, avoiding overpowered combinations. - Regular feedback and adjustments may be necessary based on gameplay experience.
With this revised system, Nen becomes the central mechanic for all supernatural and extraordinary abilities in the game, deeply immersing players in the "Hunter x Hunter" universe while maintaining the strategic and role-playing elements of D&D. This approach requires careful planning and balance but offers a unique and engaging gameplay experience. for the HUNTER class, the features include
Creating detailed class features and proficiencies for each Hunter class and its subclasses in a D&D 5e format requires a comprehensive approach. I'll provide a basic outline for the "Hunter" class and one subclass, the "Beast Hunter," as an example. You can use this format as a template to develop other subclasses.

- Alternative Race: Chimera Ant
- As an alternative, players can choose to be a Chimera Ant, which allows for a mix of human and animal traits, offering unique physical and sensory abilities. This race would have its own set of strengths and vulnerabilities.
- Classes
- Hunter: The main class, with sub-classes based on Hunter types (e.g., Beast Hunter, Treasure Hunter).
- Assassin: Focused on stealth and precision, with techniques like those of the Zoldyck family. Sub-classes could be based on different assassination styles or tools.
- Criminal: A class for those who operate outside the law, like the Phantom Troupe, with sub-classes based on criminal expertise (e.g., Thief, Bandit, Mercenary).
Nen System Integration
- Nen Types and Abilities
- Each class develops Nen abilities based on their Nen type, with unique Hatsu abilities.
- Assassins and Criminals might have Nen abilities that complement their class skills (e.g., a Thief might be a Transmuter, changing the properties of their aura to aid in stealth).
- Aura Points (AP)
- This system replaces spell slots. Using Nen abilities consumes AP, which can be restored with rest.
Gameplay Mechanics
- Nen Training and Character Progression
- Character leveling involves improving Nen control and developing Hatsu abilities.
- Combat and Nen Conflicts
- Combat includes standard D&D mechanics and strategic use of Nen.
- Nen-enhanced attacks and defenses: Characters can use AP to enhance physical attacks or bolster defense, adding an extra layer to combat strategy.
- Quests and Adventures
- DMs craft campaigns within the "Hunter x Hunter" world, allowing exploration and interaction with familiar and new elements.
Balancing and Adaptation
- Balancing Races and Classes
- Chimera Ants might have natural advantages (like enhanced senses) but also specific weaknesses (such as susceptibility to certain Nen types).
- Each class and sub-class should offer unique advantages and playstyles without overshadowing others.
- Adapting Nen Abilities
- Nen abilities must be balanced in power and utility, encouraging creative use without making them overpowered.
- Regular player feedback and DM discretion will be essential for maintaining balance.
- Skill and Ability Checks
- Incorporate Nen in skill checks, where appropriate, to allow creative problem-solving using Nen abilities.
Merging the power system and world of "Hunter x Hunter" with the fundamentals of Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) 5th Edition could create a unique and exciting tabletop RPG experience. Here's a basic framework for how it could be done:
Character Creation
- Races and Backgrounds: Stick to D&D's system for races and backgrounds, as these provide rich lore and diversity. However, incorporate elements from the "Hunter x Hunter" world into the backgrounds, allowing players to come from specific regions or organizations within that universe.
- Classes: Replace D&D classes with "Hunter" as the primary class. Sub-classes could be based on the different types of Hunters in "Hunter x Hunter" (like Beast Hunter, Treasure Hunter, Blacklist Hunter, etc.), each with unique skills and quests.
- Ability Scores: Use the standard D&D ability scores (Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma). These will influence the character's physical and mental capabilities as usual.
Nen System Integration
- Nen Types: During character creation, players determine their Nen type (Enhancer, Emitter, Manipulator, Transmuter, Conjurer, Specialist). This could be chosen or determined randomly, as in the series.
- Nen Abilities (Hatsu): Players develop their unique Hatsu abilities, guided by their Nen type. This replaces the magic/spellcasting system of traditional D&D. Balancing these abilities would be key to ensure gameplay remains challenging and engaging.
- Aura Points (AP): Similar to spell slots in D&D, characters have Aura Points. Using Nen abilities consumes AP, which can be restored with rest.
Gameplay Mechanics
- Nen Training and Challenges: Incorporate Nen training into the leveling-up process. As characters level up, they gain more control over their Nen, unlocking new capabilities or strengthening their Hatsu.
- Quests and Storytelling: The DM crafts adventures within the "Hunter x Hunter" universe, allowing players to explore familiar locales and encounter characters from the series, while also introducing original plots.
- Combat and Challenges: Integrate D&D's combat system, but with modifications to incorporate Nen abilities. This includes Aura defense, Nen-enhanced attacks, and strategic use of Hatsu abilities. A nen user may choose to enhance their Attack power, Speed, or defense, by covering their bodies or weapons with aura. Enhanced Attack- Choosing to put 1 or more AP into enhancing attack will grant +2 to damage for each point.
Enhanced Speed- Choosing to put 1 or more AP into speed will grant +5 movement speed, +1 to attack bonus, and +1 to AC for every two AP, because enhancing speed is much more difficult and usually only one who's ability allows for it can enhance their speed efficiently.
Enhancing such abilities uses AP but does not deplete it. tho prolonged use of aura will cause it to weaken over time. through training this can be overcome.
- Nen Conflicts: Introduce Nen battles, which are more about outsmarting opponents with clever use of Nen abilities than just overpowering them.
Balancing and Adaptation
- Balancing Nen Abilities: Ensure that Nen abilities are balanced, allowing for creative use without overpowering characters. This might require regular adjustments and feedback from players.
- Adapting D&D Mechanics: Some standard D&D mechanics might need to be adapted or omitted to fit the "Hunter x Hunter" theme. For instance, traditional spellcasting doesn't fit, so classes that rely heavily on this might need reworking.
In "Hunter x Hunter," each Nen user has an affinity for one of six Nen types: Enhancer, Emitter, Manipulator, Transmuter, Conjurer, and Specialist. We can assign a key ability score to each Nen type for calculating Aura Points (AP) and other Nen-related mechanics. Here's a suggested assignment:
- Enhancer
- Key Ability: Strength or Constitution
- Rationale: Enhancers focus on reinforcing their natural physical abilities, making Strength or Constitution a natural fit.
- Emitter
- Key Ability: Charisma
- Rationale: Emitters project their aura away from their bodies, requiring force of personality, represented by Charisma.
- Manipulator
- Key Ability: Intelligence
- Rationale: Manipulation requires precision and understanding complex systems, aligning well with Intelligence.
- Transmuter
- Key Ability: Dexterity
- Rationale: Transmuters alter the properties of their aura, requiring finesse and control, which Dexterity represents.
- Conjurer
- Key Ability: Wisdom
- Rationale: Conjurers create objects out of their aura, requiring insight and strong mental discipline, qualities associated with Wisdom.
- Specialist
- Key Ability: Wisdom or Charisma
- Rationale: Specialists have unique and varied abilities that don't fit into other categories. Wisdom or Charisma can be chosen based on the nature of the Specialist's unique ability.
Aura Points (AP) Calculation
- AP is calculated using the formula: [Character Level] + [Modifier of Key Ability Score] x 2.
- For instance, a Level 5 Enhancer with a Strength score of 16 (Modifier +3) would have an AP of 5 + (3 x 2) = 11.
Using the Key Ability Score
- The key ability score would also be used for determining the difficulty class (DC) for saving throws against Nen abilities, and for attack rolls when applicable.
- For example, if an Emitter with a Charisma modifier of +2 uses an ability that requires a target to make a saving throw, the DC would be calculated using their Charisma modifier.
Removing traditional spellcasting and replacing it with a Nen-based system is a significant change that can fully integrate the unique aspects of "Hunter x Hunter" into your D&D game. Here's how you can adapt the Aura Point (AP) system to completely replace spellcasting:
Revised Aura Point (AP) System for Nen Abilities
1. Aura Points as the Sole Power Source - All supernatural abilities, including those that would normally be spells in D&D, are now Nen abilities powered by AP. - Characters do not have spell slots but instead use AP to activate and sustain their Nen abilities.2. Nen Ability Categories - Classify Nen abilities into tiers, similar to spell levels: Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, and Master. - The AP cost for using an ability depends on its tier: Basic (1-2 AP), Intermediate (3-5 AP), Advanced (6-8 AP), Master (9-12 AP).
3. Learning and Developing Nen Abilities - Characters learn new Nen abilities as they level up. The number and tier of abilities they can learn and use are based on their level and key ability score. - Characters can also develop custom Nen abilities in consultation with the DM, tailored to their character's development and story.
4. Aura Point Recovery - AP is fully restored after a long rest. Half of the maximum AP is restored after a short rest. - Certain items or actions in-game could also restore AP.
5. Overexertion Risks - Using more AP than the maximum can lead to overexertion, causing fatigue, reduction in maximum hit points, or other penalties. - Severe overexertion could lead to more drastic consequences, like temporary loss of Nen abilities.
6. Nen Training and Advancement - Include quests or training sessions for characters to increase their AP maximum, reduce Nen ability costs, or learn new abilities. - This system allows for character growth and the pursuit of mastery over Nen.
7. Nen-Based Defense and Attacks - Allow characters to use AP to enhance physical attacks, defense, or to perform feats like enhanced jumps, bursts of speed, etc.
8. Balancing Nen Abilities - The DM should ensure Nen abilities are balanced within the game, avoiding overpowered combinations. - Regular feedback and adjustments may be necessary based on gameplay experience.
With this revised system, Nen becomes the central mechanic for all supernatural and extraordinary abilities in the game, deeply immersing players in the "Hunter x Hunter" universe while maintaining the strategic and role-playing elements of D&D. This approach requires careful planning and balance but offers a unique and engaging gameplay experience. for the HUNTER class, the features include
Creating detailed class features and proficiencies for each Hunter class and its subclasses in a D&D 5e format requires a comprehensive approach.

2024.06.02 07:52 Pretty-Sir-5219 Friend issue need advice
Hey everyone, I want to ask if for your opinion and what to do from here.
Yesterday I encountered a problem with a close friend of mine. I know i'm the one in the wrong but I don't understand why all the blame has been pushed on me.
So for context, the friend has broken up with her ex for 1 year they are still back and forth and she helps him out with his work although she found this new man recently and has been crying over him which we have kept it a secret from him and i didn't tell him anything at all. Me, single and I do appreciate all her efforts and help i have received from this friend in terms finding a place to stay (yes i paid the rent, bills, stuff for the house and bond) The ex did help me to pay for it first and i paid him back through labour and working for him. I really am grateful for everything that they have done for me especially been put through a financially bad position as I was scammed of my whole savings. I don't have a parking bay as there's only 1. So i have already accumulated parking fines over 3k this year alone and am very low on money from this. Sometimes i can't even park anywhere outside as all the spots has been taken.
Ok for starters i was asking her hey since you keep pushing me to date your ex (even though he still has feeling for her) why don't i send a nude to him for money in return? She said I can do it and she doesn't care. Which i have taken into much consideration and wasn't planning on doing. Up until the ex bf called me asked me how i was which i was normal and civil and then the financial comment came up and i told him yes i am very broke and don't have money (This guy is my boss as well). So he proceeded to send me $50 and i said he didn't have to and felt bad then he said its to help me out cause i have helped him alot and then i was like ok i'll send you a photo (Which wasn't a nude) and i told him how i asked my friend and she said go ahead she doesn't care. I didn't get the chance to tell her yet and he told her first then she blew up. Saying that I have betrayed her and i'm two faced and i should have asked her first which i told her that it wasn't my intention and i was going to tell her and that she said she doesn't care and go ahead. She then came back with how she does care and that i have broken the girls code and that i'm a hypocrite (This is because when she was crying and feeling depressed from him, i always supported her and told her he isn't a good man in a relationship which is true as he order her around and is very demanding and always changes his mind). I always tell everyone that he is a good friend but i do not wish to work for him further but i made a promise so i still am and he isn't good for a relationship for the way he treats her. Even with her new man when she's been crying over him, I have always comforted her and never said she was wrong or anything she did was wrong cause that's what friends do. She then proceeded to say i'm a hypocrite for talking shit about her ex then accept the money and send the photo and she has helped me find a place, to getting work (working for her ex which i receive very little and they finance it into the rent bond that i have already paid off through selling my laptop and bills) and accusing me of talking bad about her to my friends. I told her I haven't and always said good things about her despite the way i feel at times (there was a massive fight between her and her ex and physical stuff happened and i tried to calm both of them down and then i was yelled at for no reason although she did apologise afterwards and that i didn't deserve that). She has been a good friend listening to my complaints and knows that i get overwhelmed very easily and cooks and clean for me from time to time.
Moving forward, now i'm stuck and not sure what to do. I know i fucked up on our friendship and i apologised as well as asked her what does she want me to do now, ive already unsent the photo and said i will never do that again (even if she says she doesn't care and to go ahead)? Also she told me how i'm not really apologetic and that i am two faced which she hates and how i have betrayed her. I really care for her and we live together so it's a tough situation. What should i do? Am i deserving a name of a traitor?

Yesterday I encountered a problem with a close friend of mine. I know i'm the one in the wrong but I don't understand why all the blame has been pushed on me.
So for context, the friend has broken up with her ex for 1 year they are still back and forth and she helps him out with his work although she found this new man recently and has been crying over him which we have kept it a secret from him and i didn't tell him anything at all. Me, single and I do appreciate all her efforts and help i have received from this friend in terms finding a place to stay (yes i paid the rent, bills, stuff for the house and bond) The ex did help me to pay for it first and i paid him back through labour and working for him. I really am grateful for everything that they have done for me especially been put through a financially bad position as I was scammed of my whole savings. I don't have a parking bay as there's only 1. So i have already accumulated parking fines over 3k this year alone and am very low on money from this. Sometimes i can't even park anywhere outside as all the spots has been taken.
Ok for starters i was asking her hey since you keep pushing me to date your ex (even though he still has feeling for her) why don't i send a nude to him for money in return? She said I can do it and she doesn't care. Which i have taken into much consideration and wasn't planning on doing. Up until the ex bf called me asked me how i was which i was normal and civil and then the financial comment came up and i told him yes i am very broke and don't have money (This guy is my boss as well). So he proceeded to send me $50 and i said he didn't have to and felt bad then he said its to help me out cause i have helped him alot and then i was like ok i'll send you a photo (Which wasn't a nude) and i told him how i asked my friend and she said go ahead she doesn't care. I didn't get the chance to tell her yet and he told her first then she blew up. Saying that I have betrayed her and i'm two faced and i should have asked her first which i told her that it wasn't my intention and i was going to tell her and that she said she doesn't care and go ahead. She then came back with how she does care and that i have broken the girls code and that i'm a hypocrite (This is because when she was crying and feeling depressed from him, i always supported her and told her he isn't a good man in a relationship which is true as he order her around and is very demanding and always changes his mind).

During my time using this gas block, I found the process of fine-tuning my rifle incredibly smooth and intuitive. The ease of use allowed me to easily achieve the desired level of pressure from the gas tube, resulting in a significantly smoother cycling and improved accuracy. One small drawback I noted was that the gas block seemed to be slightly larger than expected, making it difficult to install in my handguard. However, this minor inconvenience was overshadowed by the ease of use and the significant performance improvements I experienced after tuning my rifle. Overall, the Odin Works Tunable Low-Profile Gas Block is a reliable and effective accessory designed to enhance the performance of your rifle.

As an avid shooter, I've always been on the lookout for gas blocks that can handle the 243 Ar barrel and this one sure fits the bill. The first thing that stood out to me was its low profile design, which makes it a great fit for most AR15s. I've often found myself in situations where a high-profile gas block gets in the way, but with Ballistic, that's never an issue. But what I loved the most about this gas block is its durable Melonite finish. It's not just for looks, either. This finish has been helping me maintain the gas block's performance even after weeks of harsh use. However, there's one thing that didn't quite meet my expectations. I've noticed that sometimes, the screws may need to be tightened further to prevent any wobbling. It's nothing a little extra patience can't fix, but it's a minor inconvenience nonetheless. All in all, the Ballistic Lo-Pro Gas Block has been a solid addition to my AR15. Its low profile design and durable finish make it a great choice for anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality gas block. đź”—Recertified 15 lb Steel CO2 Gas Cylinder for Beverage, Industry, Hydroponics, and Aquariumshttps://preview.redd.it/ltqzlsmdj34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7a30e520764c2ea86e555247b250398713bd4439 As a beverage enthusiast, I was recently in search of a reliable CO2 cylinder for my home bar setup. That's when I came across this recertified 15 lb steel CO2 cylinder. The sturdy, used steel construction caught my eye, and its competitive pricing was certainly a bonus. During my first use, it was clear that the cylinder had been tested and refinished to ensure a long life and performance. The grey, rust-resistant paint finish added not only an aesthetic appeal but also peace of mind in terms of its durability. Of course, there was a CO2 CGA320 valve installed, which made connectivity and usage an easy, hassle-free task. However, my experience with this cylinder wasn't without its drawbacks. I noticed slight variations in dimensions when compared to other cylinders. It was also disappointing to find out that the hydro test hadn't been done within the recommended time frame. Nonetheless, the cylinder still seemed to work effectively. Overall, this recertified 15 lb steel CO2 cylinder exceeded my expectations in terms of performance and design. While it did have certain drawbacks, it served as a reliable and affordable source of CO2 that I could count on for my beverages, hydroponics, and even aquariums. đź”—High-Performance Argon/CO2 Shielding Gas Cylinder with CGA 580 Fittinghttps://preview.redd.it/qksqlezdj34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a6524b38acc88406669c0af7eba03f5402aee696 In my experience, the Hobart Argon/CO2 Shielding Gas Cylinder was a small yet mighty option for my MIG welding needs. The 20 cu. ft. cylinder was easy to handle and transport, making it perfect for my portable rig. The gas itself performed well, providing excellent shielding and clean weld appearance. However, one downside I encountered was the difficulty in finding a place to refill the cylinder. It seemed that not all welding supply stores offered refills, which was a bit inconvenient for me. Nevertheless, the Argon/CO2 Shielding Gas Cylinder served as a reliable backup for my main tank, and the small size made it a great choice for quick projects or when on the go. đź”—Odin Works O2 Lite M-LOK Forend: Advanced Ergonomics and Customizable Accessory Railshttps://preview.redd.it/it3z6zmej34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9db1d82740877fbadc3455150610c706116e2e6c I recently had the pleasure of trying out the Odin Works O2 Lite M-LOK Forend, an AR-15 accessory with impressive ergonomics and unmatched versatility. The handguard is designed to be incredibly comfortable and boost performance, with its ability to accept rails at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions. One of the standout features of this forend is its compatibility with low-profile gas blocks and the ease of installation. Although it comes with a rather unimpressive packaging, I was happy to find the handguard undamaged and ready to use. It fits perfectly with Magpul QD and fits like a glove thanks to its MLOK compatibility. However, one downside I experienced was the weight of the product. At 5.6oz, it might feel a bit heavier than some other options in the market.

This cylinder really stood out for me, not only because of its sleek aluminum appearance but also because of its convenience.

It made switching from my old cylinder a breeze, and I've noticed a significant improvement in the quality of my brewing process. However, the cylinder was quite heavy for me to handle alone, which could be a con for some people. Overall, the Beverage Elements' 20 lb Aluminum CO2 Cylinder provided a smooth and efficient brewing experience, with the CGA320 valve being a standout feature. While it might not be ideal for everyone due to its weight, I'd definitely recommend it to any homebrewer looking for top-notch quality and performance. đź”—Adjustable A2 Gas Block for Low Profile Rifleshttps://preview.redd.it/yq194t3gj34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4a95687ab91749a31593508cd2f8233fa429f63b The Black Rain Low Pro Gas BLOCK. 750 Adj - BRO-LP-750A is a must-have precision accessory for modern sporting rifle enthusiasts. Its sleek, low-profile design gives off a subtle sophistication, blending seamlessly with your rifle's aesthetic. One day, I found myself at the firing range, testing out this gas block. As I adjusted it to my liking, I appreciated how effortlessly the 0.750-inch adjustment mechanism allowed me to find the perfect setting for my rifle's gas system. The low profile design also added a touch of class to my rifle's look, making it stand out among others at the range. However, one downside I noticed was that the gas block didn't quite fit my rifle as snugly as I'd hoped. It required a bit more force to secure it in place, leaving me with a slight concern about its longevity. Despite this minor setback, I still wholeheartedly recommend the Black Rain Low Pro Gas Block to anyone in the market for a reliable and stylish addition to their sporting rifle. đź”—Portable 5 lb Steel CO2 Cylinder with CGA320 Valvehttps://preview.redd.it/2j9lorfgj34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c74f79183ace1223f56763552bfe00ad2f8e21ff I recently had the chance to use this 5-pound steel CO2 cylinder for my brewing needs, and I must say, it's a reliable and sturdy little tank. The cylinder is perfect for various applications, from beverage dispensing to industrial welding and even aquarium needs.

It provides excellent durability, longevity, and corrosion resistance, which is crucial for the lifespan of the gas block and the overall performance of your rifle. If you're looking for a lightweight alternative, titanium is also a viable option that boasts similar properties.LengthThe length of the A2 Gas Block is another critical factor to consider.

So I have about 20k in credit card debt. It’s a combination of medical bills, and charges from when we lost jobs during Covid and stupidly but necessarily at the time leaned on credit to make ends meet. My score is 620. I don’t think I’ll qualify for a 0% Apr card right noww, but I did apply. I’ve never missed a payment but my utilization is so so high. The interest is high.
I’m not sure if I should go with calling the creditors directly to work something out, going with a debt settlement agency like Beyond Finance, or Credit Counseling Debt Management like Greenpath.
Any advice is welcome. I’m going to miss my first payment this month on a card or two because I can’t keep up anymore. My husband is in a similar situation. Covid, job loss, and my past cancer kicked our asses. I really don’t want to go bankrupt.

2024.06.02 07:10 Odd-Act905 My (30F) Catholic husband (29M) left me for another woman, what should I do?
My husband and I have been married for almost 4 years and we have a 3 year old son. I'm very extroverted and have a lot of friends while my husband is very introverted and only has 3 friends who all happen to be female. Over the past year and a half, he got very close to one of them but I never put the kibosh on it because he has so few friends. Just at the beginning of May he had a couple nights where he did not come home because he was at her house. On the second night that he did not come home, I waited up for him and confronted him when he came in the front door. I gave him the ultimatum to either stop talking to her or to leave. At first he decided to stop talking to her and to work on our relationship. However, after a few days, he decided it wasn't worth it after we had done a silly marriage workbook and I just ended up asking him about accountability. I wanted to know what kept him from doing this again or what kept him from abandoning me when something more so severe in my life may be going on like ill physical or mental health. He has also done other things like spend $500 on a stripper on my last birthday when he was on a work trip out of town, and then after I had my son he racked up more than $800 in bills on only fans. He thought about it for a moment and told me that he was only going to hurt me again and again, and that there was no reason to try. I ended up convincing him to stay and that it would be worth trying for to keep stuff together for our family.
However, a couple days later I caught him messaging her again. I confronted him and he told me that while he loved me, he wasn't romantically in love with me. That I wasn't meeting his needs and I didn't understand him like she did. At this point we were still having sex at least twice a week. I helped him get his green card. I helped him get his license back. I bought him a new car every time he wrecked one. And I just helped him get into college. It was also smoking anywhere from 100 to $300 worth of weed every week, and I was just taking it on the chin and figuring out our finances around it. At this point, I just asked him to leave. He cried and moaned while I made him pack a bag, and was upset that I was asking him to leave which would prevent him from being there for our son. However, I told him if he remained I wouldn't be able to be there for our son, and that's what mattered the most to me.
He ended up leaving and staying with his stepdad. According to his mother and his sister, he's been taking money from his dad because he said I was still receiving his paychecks (which I am not) and that he has been into his dad's medical cabinet to try to take painkillers and his dad's diabetic needles. The girl that he is hooking up with has mental health issues and with drug usage. He also has prior issues with drug usage. He's also been switched psych medications four times in the past year.
At one point he offered to reconcile and just get to come home by stopping seeing her. But I told him that there was way more that we would need to work on before he could come home. He ended up going back to her and then trying to come back to me. And then just yo-yoing between the two of us for several weeks before he eventually decided to just pick her. He's now trying to blame the end of our marriage on me for being a "mean bitch who is no fun" and that I'm not accountable for my actions in ending this. However, I had overlooked so much of his previous bad behavior to remain in a relationship with him so my son would have a father. I tried to get him to help me understand what I had done wrong, and he told me that I was impossible to communicate with which is why he never communicated his needs to me.
He has also told me that he doesn't want any more kids, and that he doesn't believe in God. He told me that co-parenting our son will be fine, even though I've told him how much my parents divorce at a similar age deeply ended up wounding me as a child. He thinks just because he's going to be around some. It's better than his father who wasn't around at all. However, I told him sometimes it's more painful to have your dad two cities away living a life with a new family than it is to have an immovable image completely gone from your life.
He talks about co-parenting our son, but he is only seeing him a handful of times in the month that he's been gone. Most of those occasions have been at my suggestion and I have also been present. He's also stood us up once because he told me he had gone to the woods to contemplate suicide instead of meeting up with us. He doesn't call our son every night even though a FaceTime call with him would probably only last like 2 to 5 minutes. He's only sent me $320 to deal with expenses in the month that he has been gone along with getting our son a haircut. At each of these meetings he starts off by being horrible to me and rude. By the end, he's softened and does whatever he can to spend as much time with me and my son before he leaves. Even after my son goes to bed he wants to hang out and smoke a joint together. However, this last time he came to drop our son off, he got really sore at me because one of our mutual friends had sent him pictures of a conversation I had with them. In the conversation, I had Said that my husband and this girl are in a codependent cabal, and the only thing that they have in common are poor morals and bad teeth. He was upset by that but all of it was true. Now he refuses to see me or communicate with me. He told me that he wants to be friends but I can't say mean stuff like that. However, he says a bunch of mean things to me all the time about me being a horrible wife and how perfect this new woman is. Both of us want to be friends for the benefit of our son, but I just don't think I have it in me. He always says things to me to make me feel low, and he acts like I should just be over it even though it hasn't even been a month yet.
My life has completely changed and I feel so much grief over the life I thought I had, the partner I thought I had, and the future that I thought I had. It feels like a devil has crawled into his skin and is walking around pretending to be him. I feel so much resentment being left to pick up the pieces of our life and to hold everything together for our son. He gets to go run away and fuck someone new, while I have to be strong and stoic. I don't understand how I can be friends with someone who's hurt me so much and has cared so little. He's going to miss out on so much of our son's life and he doesn't even care. He's just convinced himself that life with me would be miserable. Even though we had so many good times together, and I had always tried my hardest to make him happy and to make sure our family's needs were met. He didn't even want to go to therapy and he didn't even want to try to start things over by dating me again. I'm just so disappointed.
I don't know where to go from here. I am definitely talking to a divorce lawyer. I worry about whether or not he's using drugs, and whether or not he'd be safe around our son. I definitely don't want this woman around our son and he doesn't see the big deal with it. Should I just cut him out of my life? Should I cut him out of my son's life? Should I try to be friends with him? It's all so hard because it's just all so shocking and I still love him. Part of me wants to reconcile but also part of me is starting to realize how easy my life is without him around. He's also also kept trying to make reconciliation not an option. What should I do?
