I picked up an order tonight and recognized the address as being a really swanky hotel. In the app, it says if a room number is referenced to take it to the room, and because there was no other instructions, I took it to the room number that was indicated.
When I got to the floor, I realized the number didn't exist so I called down on the house phone to the front desk and verified that there was no such hotel room number as listed. The hotel front desk person verified nope there is no room number XYZ.
Called the customer and immediately the lady flew off the handle and said what are you doing? Going to my room I'm downstairs. Why the f85@%## are you upstairs?
I sent her a screenshot of the instructions and said I was happy to bring it downstairs but also that the room number was incorrect and she corrected me and said "don't you F@(king know how to read? what's wrong with you why don't you get a job? is it because you don't know how to read? "
by the time i got down the elevator and back into the very glamorous lobby, the very entitled "lady" was screaming names at me and saying the most derogatory things i've heard in almost 8000 deliveries. i really try and do a good job, but people have been excessively aggressive lately.
i hand her the food as she tried to wrest it out of hot bag and as i was walking out the lobby she grabbed her three kids and said for them to move or "i would probably run them down..." um?
Because i'm gonna drive through the lobby? whut? she continued to yell and scream as i exited. in front of probably forty little kid baseball players. all i could think of was how she must act at games.
anyhoo. she proceeded to continue to then text me names, insults, and harangue me. Doordash sent me an email saying they banned her from the platform. i'm not sure if that's real. but it did make me question whether i love this like i used to. thanks for listening.

I've been a Linux user for 10 years since I was 11 but went a long time without a computer and since recently getting a new one I've been a bit rusty. I apologize for any ignorance or density on my part. I'm experienced in some ways but posting here because I've pretty much regressed to being a noob. My computer is very old and has poor hardware, so it is prone to crashing without me being able to safely remove my 4TB Seagate external drive I use to store music. Upon booting, it will often not mount through the option that pops up in my GUI. I have had to use NTFSfix and mount through the command line with NTFS-3g a few times now because the drive fails to mount after restarting the computer and being plugged back in. I want to convert the drive to FAT32 but my old external drive is broken for the moment, so I can't back up my files. I have the drive working now and I'm listening to some of the amazing music I've downloaded, so I'm not in a panic anymore, but I'm afraid I'm gonna have to do this process again and that the drive will break for good.
How can I get it to work in a more streamlined way? I used to be more tech savvy when I was younger but now I suffer from schizophrenia/bipolar disorder and drug induced brain damage as well as some traumatic brain damage from hurting myself during mental health episodes (please don't judge, I'm only mentioning because it's a factor in why this is more difficult for me sometimes), it is hard to manage all of this because of my low executive function and mental disorganization. It's becoming frustrating to have to do this in a loop. I apologize if I have any trouble understanding the causes of this at first or properly executing whatever solutions you folks may procure for me, please be patient. I really appreciate any help I can get and I'm sorry if I forget to include any crucial information. You would probably have an easier time explaining this stuff to 10 year old me than me now because back then I was all about tinkering with stuff, now I don't have the wherewithal.
I am running Ubuntu Studio (I know, don't come @ me) 24.04 and everything else works quite well. I've had a few scares that I was gonna lose all my data, which is an existential problem because music is my lifeline. I just had to set everything back up in my music player because I mounted the filesystem to a new directory in /media/ using mkdir to form a new directory to mount at. Is there a way to get it to mount here by default? Ubuntu doesn't boot if I have the drive plugged in, so I always have to plug it in after I'm finished booting. I believe I could probably fix this by altering the boot order and messing with the BIOS so that external device booting is disabled.
Using Windows isn't an option because the computer is too weak and I just strongly prefer Linux for numerous reasons, primarily it just requiring me to gain a stronger understanding of the underlying principles of computers. I don't learn anything using Windows and having it be so stable is no fun. Frustrating as this may be, I know when I get it to click that this will be a good thing because I'll be able to address the issue more readily and feel satisfaction at my accomplishing this fix.
I really don't want to have to use loopholes constantly to get access to my files, it makes it hard to manage the directories in Soulseek and Strawberry music player, the primary two applications I use. I use this computer for listening to music, downloading it, and playing/recording synthesizers almost solely. I am doing this many hours of the day because I need to keep myself busy so I don't go mad again.
My goal is to get the drive to be easily and readily mountable with a consistent mount point so that I don't need to constantly reconfigure directories for my music player and shared file directories on my music P2P downloading application. Currently, it only mounts some of the time and after the computer crashes, resulting in me needing to cut power, I have to use NTFSfix and mount using NTFS-3G to a directory I create as a mount point to get access to my files, resulting in it being a lot more energy than I would have to expend if I didn't need to listen to that music to keep myself happy and stable. I get frustrated when this occurs and become increasingly afraid that I won't be able to fix it, then I do fix it and the problem arises again.
If there's no way to get this NTFS external drive working stably, is there a way I can back it up to reformat in FAT32 or another filesystem? I have a 1TB internal SSD that's about half full, a 128GB flash drive, and a 2TB external drive that currently seems to be corrupted and out of commission but may be repairable because it didn't suffer any physical trauma that I'm aware of, it just seemed to suffer the same issue but I didn't know how to fix it so I think I fucked up reformatting it because it says the superblock is corrupted and it's still inaccessible. If I can manage to get this running again, I'm sure I could back up onto this drive and reformat my current drive in FAT32.
Only half a terabyte max, probably less, is taken on this 4TB drive. Would it be possible to partition half of it to FAT32, convert the files over to the FAT32 partition from NTFS, and then expand the FAT32 partition to take up the whole drive while conserving my data? Sorry if that question doesn't make sense, I'm grasping at straws and don't fundamentally understand the underlying principles of this issue. I am capable of learning to understand how this all works, so don't be afraid to give me a complex and in depth answer on what my options are and what the principles of functioning are making all this go haywire.
Any time you could take out of your day to help me out would be seriously appreciated. Being able to have ease of use in managing this and making sure my files are stably accessible is really important to me and I feel like I'm on the brink of accidentally destroying my brand new external drive right after the last one got messed up with the errors that are occurring, but I may just be catastrophizing because everything is still there once I get it properly mounted. It just seems to be a mounting issue that occurs when the drive gets power suddenly cut off. I'll be okay if it does go to shit but having this working was something that's been seriously helping my mental health and it messing up like this is having an impact.

Hello,
I am a student who will be entering the MDes program for the Fall 2024 semester.
I remember receiving a lot of help from you last time, so I am reaching out again :)
I am currently packing my belongings, but I have a concern. Since I do not yet have a local address, I want to send my packages by sea freight. I am planning to rent a UPS Store or a storage facility for my belongings.
However, from the photos, it seems that the UPS Store only accepts smaller packages, and other storage facilities are a bit far from downtown, so I am not sure if I can retrieve them easily.
Has any other student had a similar experience? I would like to know how to send packages when you do not have a local address yet or if anyone has used a service that receives packages on their behalf.
Thank you as always :)
Best regards,

Okay so due to Account issues and sometimes just straight up forgetting/missing them or not caring at the time, I am behind serval years on the Birthday/Character day Letters and rewards. And to me this brought up the “why can’t we get the ones where missing with extra quest?” Because think about if you joined the game later you will just be NEVER caught up on the Letter Lore. I think they should add a feature to do make ups for the years you missed, they could just make the make up quests harder than the current year quests. Because if was just the cosmetic rewards I wouldn’t say it was nessary just annoying (and they already added a shop for them) but THE LORE is a bother to be locked simply behind how many years you’ve played and for you to be unable to make it back up.

Hi there reddit.
I got married last year and moved to the states to be with my husband.
We currently live with a roommate who never leaves the house unless he goes to cvs to pick up a prescription. He’s the type who can’t be alone EVER, constantly needs help to do anything and hasn’t showered in 7 months.
Our roommate is extremely needy, talks excessively and needs to be around us all the time. We spend every evening together, every weekend together, and since he doesn’t have a job, we see each other any time I’m not at work basically. If I’m at home, he won’t leave me alone, he literally wants me to watch him play video games all day and have me listen to him talk about it for hours. I have zero interest in video games. And if I take time to myself, he gets so offended he threatens to kick us out (yes we are staying with him rent free which makes it quite complicated)
Naturally, my husband and I don’t get to spend alone time together.
Unfortunately, since we don’t get that alone time in the evenings, I have to spend what would be my “me-time” in the morning with my husband because he’s also needy and insecure. That fact that I spend every evening and every weekend with him (with our roommate) isn’t enough for him and I’m completely exhausted from the constant interaction I have to have with both of these people, hours on end.
Since I moved here a year ago, I’ve had a grand total of 3 days alone. ALL YEAR.
If I’m lucky, I get about 30-90mins in the morning to myself (a little more if I escape to the gym), then I got to work and when I get home in the evening, I have to spend it with them doing things I don’t even enjoy.
I constantly crave space at home by myself and I quite literally hate my life because I don’t get to have any.
I NEED SPACE and I’m always irritated when I’m around the two of them.
At this point, I don’t think I’ll ever get the space I need while I’m living here and unfortunately, we may have to live here for a while.
Does anyone have advice on how to cope with a living situation like this?
I cry almost every day when I walk home from work because I hate having to go home to my second job.

Summary: Kevin Collins, AKA "Angel" Is an ex-special forces ranger turned tracker. His self imposed mission; to find and rescue lost, kidnapped and exploited children. On one of his missions, he stumbles upon an injured woman. Believing she's a victim who escaped, he takes her to his van and dresses her wounds, asking who she is. She says her name is Charlotte, but she can't remember anything else. She asks how he found her, and he explains what he's there for. When she learns that children are in danger, she changes into a demon; something that scares the both of them. She begs Angel to not abandon her, and offers to use her powers to help him on his mission. He agrees, and so begins their journey to save souls, discover her past and in the process; fall in love. However, their journey will attract the attention of an evil so great, it threatens to rip them apart and make Charlotte into the most dangerous demon on Earth.
Scene Summary: Charlotte's first semi- solo mission to find and rescue a lost child in the mountains. (chapter 6)
Seconds had ticked by and Charlotte was already ahead of the groups that had begun to fan out. She cleared 50 yards ahead and stopped. Closing her eyes, she inhaled as deeply as she could and was greeted with a barrage of smells. Trees, bushes, animals, flowers, insects.. she could detect them all. But the scent of the boy was absent. Determined, she began to run, her cloven feet deftly carrying her over fallen branches, jagged trails and she moved in a wide zig-zag pattern, covering a lot of distance in minutes. Stopping at a sound she hadn’t quite picked up before, she closed her eyes and recognized a river, flowing fast in the distance south of her. She took another strong whiff and was greeted by the scent of water, algae, fish, mud and..
Her eyes snapped open. The boy’s scent was mixed into the rolling smells of the river! Turning towards the strongest of the smells, she picked up her pace and raced towards the river, opening up all of her senses to their max. In moments, she stood on the bank and looked down at the rushing waters. The sun had faded and now with the overcast clouds, twilight was taking hold. Darting her eyes and inhaling as deep as she could, she picked up two things; the scent of fear and distant crying.
“Angel?” She whispered into the headset. In took a couple of beats, and she heard his smooth voice.
“I’m here. Had to move away a bit from the others first. You have something?”
“I got his scent! I can’t tell how far off he is, but I think he’s in the river!”
Angel hissed urgently, “Go! Find him!”
She didn’t give a response as her legs started moving. Heart aching, Charlotte followed the scent and sound for nearly 300 yards down river, having now gone out of the search grid area. Thanks to her demon form, she alighted over the rough terrain, her eyes wide to let all the possible light in and give her a clear view of her surroundings. A quick pause to listen, the sounds of crying now lapped over the sounds of the river and she honed in.
Stepping over a ridge of an embankment, she looked down into the rushing water and there was the boy, stuck in a fallen tree that was a third of the way into the fast moving river. She quickly accessed that he had to have fallen in some place upstream and got carried to this spot, catching the tree to stop himself, but the water was too fast for him to pull himself out. She could tell he was fading, fast. If she didn’t get him out, he’d drown.
“Angel!” She radioed, “I found him! I found him! Track the tag! I have to get him out, now!”
“I’m coming!” Angel’s voice affirmed, with a hint of pride for her, and she clicked off the radio and looked around, seeing what she could do.
“Fuck, if only I had wings!” She cursed her limitations, but pushed it aside as she needed to rely on what she did have. Moving down to the edge of the river, Charlotte saw that he was out of her reach by some twenty feet. Testing the strength of the fallen tree, she tentatively started to crawl out but could only get half way when she heard snapping. The tree was not going to hold her weight if she went any further. Quickly thinking, Charlotte wrapped her demon tail around a thicker branch and slipped into the rushing water, the force more than she anticipated and it knocked her against the tree.
“OOMPH!” She let out a pained shout and the boy looked her way, eyes bloodshot from crying and let out a fearful whimper. Cursing herself again, she bit her lip and reached out for him. She knew he'd be scared at the feeling but if she could carry him around the tree and swim him to shore, maybe he’d think he got a current to lead him ashore.
Charlotte reached out but he was still out of her reach and she couldn’t get closer. She saw a six foot thick branch, broken off from the tree, lodged in among the other branches and thought if only she’d grabbed it first, she could reach him with it. She stared at the branch for an infinite but split second moment, wishing she had it and then she felt something solid in her clawed hand.
The branch she wanted had blinked out of it’s lodged spot to reappear in her grip, conjured as if by magic. Charlotte gasped. How? How!? She pushed the question aside and slipped the branch through the water until it nudged the boy. Would he grab it? She took a chance. “Grab the branch.” She spoke just loud enough for him to hear.
“Wha..?” He couldn’t say much else, his strength was giving out, and he was losing consciousness.
“Please, sweetie, grab hold… trust me.. please.. please.”
Subconsciously, he did as she asked and she pulled steady and firmly those frightening last few feet against the force of the river and brought him to her. She retracted her claws, letting her human hands take over and she grabbed him and pulled him to her. He was out, his body having given up and she put all of her strength into her tail and it pulled her till she could get her waist above the torrent of water. Lifting the boy into her arms and growling deep, she lunged and landed them roughly on the mud and sludge of the river’s edge. She flipped onto her back, the boy held in her tight embrace and she lay on her back, breathing hard, energy spent and she started crying.
He heard him take in a shuddering breath, followed by regular breathing and she cried harder, holding him close and comforting. I won’t let anything happen to you, she thought. I won’t let anything happen to ANYONE! She declared to herself.
She lost track of how long she lay there, body pressed into the cold wet mud, her cloven hooves splashed with lapping water at the river’s edge, but her ears picked up Angel nearing her and she sniffled in relief. She looked up over above and behind her as falling dirt signaled Angel’s arrival at the edge of the embankment.
Angel saw the boy suspended inches above the mud, as if floating and he slid down to kneel next to him and Charlotte’s invisible form.
“You okay?” He whispered.
Charlotte’s wet filled throat croaked back, exhausted “Take him.”
Angel slid his arms under the boy, sliding over Charlotte’s body and she closed her eyes, grateful for his touch and he lifted the boy up and off of her. He stood, boy cradled in his arms, and looked down at the human shaped indent in the mud.
“You can come out.”
The mud shifted but Charlotte didn’t appear.
“I.. I’ll meet you back at the van.”
The tone in her voice told Angel all he needed to know, and without another word, Angel took the boy and began the trek back to meeting spot.
When Angel had moved a distance away, Charlotte finally pulled herself to her feet and wrapped her arms around herself, and felt the sludge slide down her back, her blonde hair nearly a fully dyed shit-brown, and shivered in the growing cold. Taking slow deep breaths, Charlotte pulled at her demon powers and her body began to sizzle, steam rising up off her body, both warming her and drying her. She was still so dirty but the chill in her bones had gone. The few moments alone allowed her to regain her composure, and with a crack of her neck, she turned and took off at a full run, and headed back to the van.

I have been putting a lot of hours into Blue Protocol lately (JP version obviously) and it is a bit of an odd duck. The game is quite good in some ways. It looks gorgeous, runs well enough, combat is fun (especially after the 8 skill update), and the story and characters are actually pretty good. But it is also deeply flawed in many ways. And the more time I put into it the more I get irritated with its faults, which mostly relate to the god awful endgame loop. I do sincerely believe that even if it got released globally now, it would not be received well.
So I thought I would make a list of things that need fixing...in no particular order.

• Bugs - There are still some significant bugs that absolutely need addressing. The most significant being when there's too much going on the whole instance freezes up and enemies won't even move or attack, they just turn into punching bags. This happens every single time in 'raids'. It has been an issue for months now and needs to be fixed. It turns these fights into a complete joke.
• The 'raid' system itself - I'm sorry but I want to punch whoever thought it was a good idea to have players repeat the exact same 'raid' over and over for an entire hour. Even if you fix the freezing bug and make the fight less of a joke this is still going to be boring. Take a hint from what PSO2 does for urgent quests (which is much closer to what these are): have a lockout so you can only complete the 'raid' once every time it's available. Increase rewards to compensate and make it available more than just a few times a day. And make the fights themselves take a bit longer at least (currently they can be finished in just a couple of minutes). Then they could at least be a fun diversion to mix things up, instead of feeling like a chore.
• Adventure boards suck - They could be OK if used more sparingly, but do they really need a unique adventure board for every single enhance imajin? These things are not interesting or engaging to complete, it just feels tedious. And why are they so inconsistent about what happens when they're not active? You can only have 10 active at a time (which may sound like a lot but it really isn't given how many of these damn things you end up with...), but some progress tracks even when they're not active...but not all progress. It's just annoying to keep track of. At least just make them all active all the time. But really, half of them should be eliminated entirely. There's no need to have this many.
• Grinding mobs like this will never be fun - Goddamn does BP want you to grind mobs though. Whether it's to complete an adventure board, a quest, or just because you need a particular drop, spawn camping mobs is a significant part of what you will do in this game. And it's as fun as that sounds...which is to say, not fun at all. I honestly think this is one of the biggest issues with the game, but also one of the hardest things to fix because so much is built around it. But they could at least try to make things more dynamic. Usually it's like the exact same mobs spawn in particular locations so you are literally just sitting in place waiting for things to spawn between kills. Moving around is literally a waste of time. If you compare this to something like combat zones in NGS (I can't believe I'm using that game as a positive example of anything, but here we are...) then spawns are much more dynamic and you're always moving around the field. Plus there are trials and stuff to mix things up. In BP you just stand in one spot and the only challenge is to get a hit in on the mob you want to kill before somebody else nukes it since you don't get any rewards if you don't hit it. And somebody else will nuke it if you hesitate...that's its own problem. And for real, this is a major part of what you will do in this game. It's mind numbing.
• Needs some actual challenging endgame content - This is something Bamco has at least made attempts to address, so I'll give them that. Some of their solutions are just weird though. Like OK, I'll grant them that the new SP stuff is hard but it's such an odd game mode and so different from what most people expect from an MMORPG endgame that it feels like something that should be a cool extra and not the only challenging endgame content. Advanced dungeons are moderately challenging but they're still primarily just stuff you grind for gear and they're really not that hard once you're used to them. Give us some proper team-based endgame challenges. Could be a raid (a real one I mean), could be something else, but we need something.
• There's too much gear - Odd complaint maybe, but hear me out. The pace they release new gear at is honestly too fast. I guess it's their way to keep people engaged or something, but there's more gear being added in literally every monthly update. To be clear, it's not interesting gear. Slightly better stats, sure, but nothing fundamentally new or different. It just feels empty. Most MMOs will limit new gear to more significant updates and acquiring that gear actually means something. In BP I don't even install plugs in most of my weapons because I know I'm just going to replace them soon anyway and it feels like a waste... (and besides there's nothing challenging enough to need them anyway, see above)
• Where is the social content? - BP defenders will sometimes say it's more of a casual, social game and so you shouldn't expect hardcore raids or something from it. But...it's extremely lacking as a social game as well. There just isn't much to actually do in the game outside of combat. How about some minigames, things to do in town, or actual life skills? I know they have talked about the housing stuff so that's something but it's still not here yet and what they did show was kind of underwhelming.
• There aren't enough ways to get cosmetics - But they need to monetize something, you say! Here's the thing, though; Even if you're willing to spend money if you don't like the handful of outfits in the current gacha then there isn't even anything to spend money on. I've spent enough time in the game I would be willing to send some money their way (assuming I can figure out how...) but then I look through the store and there's nothing I actually want. It's pretty weird. There's only one gacha banner available at any time, it lasts for a while, and the stuff in it can be very hit-or-miss frankly. I feel like BP needs more cosmetic options in general but it also needs more ways to get them. Maybe a premium store with a rotating selection or something. Usually we complain about games being over-monetized but BP's store is so underwhelming right now it's actually kind of under-monetized...not saying I want them to nickle and dime me for everything, just give me stuff I might actually want to buy. And the free cosmetic options you can get in game are also super limited. I just want more options...

There's probably more I didn't think of but that's enough for now...

This is going to be a long post, i apologize in advance. Will try to put a concise TLDR at the end.
Currently i am pursuing my bachelors in economics, first year and i want to start working towards creating my career. However, I don't really have anybody to guide me irl at all, no big sister or elder brother, no successful senior or decent alumni network. My college doesn't really provide me with much opportunities and peers are also really ambitionless. Im pretty much on my own.
I have A LOT of time in my hands in this uni and can dedicate a huge chunck of my day towards developing my skills/studying for exams/whatever is required of me. I also consider myself a fairly disciplined and dedicated individual if the situation requires, not the most hardworking but im working on changing that pattern.
However, The thing with corporate is everybody in family is against it. My father is an engineer in a PSU and is very very anti-private jobs. From his experience 30 years ago in civil engineering, he truly believes that private jobs suck the soul out of you and demean you as a person. So he really wishes for me to try for govt exams and govt jobs.
The other thing is, in my family both of my maternal unlces worked in corporate. They weren't from any reputated colleges whatsoever at all, graduated from worse than tier 3 mba colleges but when i say that they are highly charismatic and extremely wellspoken, SUCH hardworking people, i mean it. They got the skills. They really climbed that corporate ladder hard. Both were in sales.

1. My chhote mama in the end was working in samsung at very high post, was the regional manager of a very large domain of north india, had a package of upwards of 50+ LPA but the workload was so much, that he suffered from an heart attack at the age of 35. Thankfully, he survived and is alright now but that really opened his eyes and he quit his job the next day. Now he is working on his own business and has done fairly well with whatever circumstances he was given.
2. My other mama, who is even more talented and intelligent than the above mentioned mama, right now works as a vise president of the entire sales department of a very reputated company and has a package of upwards of 1.5cr but just yesterday, he also suffered from a mini heart attack. Please keep in mind these are really fit, 6 feet plus guys, no smoking no drinking no tobacco pure veg people (not saying non veg food is bad or ANYTHING pls dont get offended and make this the topic of conversation).

And thats the thing. Even though both my mama earn really good money, we have never seen them not stressed out. I remember when i was young and visit them during summer vacation, raat ko 11-11 baje unko unke boss ka call aata tha and they would shout and hurl abuses at them. The pressure was simply astronomical. No respect, no wlb. Both have really strained relationship with their wives because of this too. Their life basically happens on tours, they were never home. Which has kind of also scared me off sales for sure, if not corporate.
The second thing is, seeing how extroverted and charismatic they are, i kinda doubt my skills. I am definitely more on the introverted side, have a limited social energy, not the most charismatic person either. Im more of a reading my book quietly in the bedroom person than being the life of the party in the drawing room kind of person. I am also extremely prone to anxiety (clinically diagnosed) and overthinking. Matlab, what im saying is that, im not the most "jo hoga dekha jayega" "take it easy" kind of a person. If there is something to be stressed about, you better believe im stressing out about it on the full intensity. I think this is also the time i should mention that i suffer from an autoimmune disease and it flares up during high stress situations.
So my question is, is corpoarte a good fit for me? are all domains (finance, consulting, operations)(finance particuarly because i wish it to aim it if im to enter corporate) as stressful as sales? Is it possible to achieve a good wlb with a good pay (1.5-2L) if you're not from tech background? Listen, all i want from life is a job that doesn't suck the soul out of me w a decent pay, hopefully i get to live in tier 1 city and quality people to hang out with/a few good friends. Thats all. So, should i go for corporate?
Because my other option is preparing for upsc, state pcs etc and i'll be honest, the tedium of the govt sector is not the most appealing to me. Na hi mujhe bahot zyada paise ki bhook hai na hi power ki. Nor do i have an extraordinary aim to "change the country" or anything i'll be very honest. If i'll be preparing for upsc it'll just be another job. Everybody arounds me believes that i have the potential to crack these exams but i think everybody who scores good in school exams and maybe reads a few books thinks that so thats irrelevant. I do think that i must mention that i was going through the syllabus of upsc, i pretty much knew about more than 30% of it because history/geography/philosophy/ethics are truly my area of interest and i study them regardless, just out of sheer interest. So Upsc is really one exam that a person like me is cut out for, hoga nahi hoga vo alag baat hai but i think i would be a fair competition.
So please guide me, what should i do? which path should i start putting my hardwork towards? Is corporate actually really horrible? Can a person with anxiety issues survive?

As a 31M who is a level 1 Autistic and Combined ADHD, I've had a lot of Limerence. My Limerence stems from having a narcissistic mother and macho man-minded father that divorced when I was 4. While I don't understand social cues and body language, I have a really strong sense of intuition. My first limerence was in Middle School and lasted until high school. That ended with me having to cease contact with her during my senior year. It took me 10 years to get over her. My next was at my last job with a nice single mom of 3. I latched onto her so hard I nearly got fired. Thankfully the way my last job treated me there also gave me leverage to I was able to leave on my own terms and can't reveal more than that due to NDA. Still not over her, but unlike my high school crush, I despise her, even though I understand she put up boundaries I ignored because of my own weakness. I can't help but hate her, I know those negative feelings will go away and I know deep down that I don't actually hate her and that I know it's the limerence talking but it's a struggle. Now my third experience is with yet another single mom of 3 at my current job, who shares many similarities to the lady at my last job. Everything was fine until 3 weeks ago on break at work when I tried to get her attention so we could finish a conversation from. She seemed upset and some married jerk who was limerent for her resumed contact earlier that day and he was way worse than me. We'd been talking nonstop for months and then she's been distancing herself since. I also suspect she has limerence as well because she clung to me a lot after he left and given her past, but it could have been a genuine interest. either way, I knew it was best not to pursue it given what happened at my last job. I was freaking out to the point where I made myself physically sick where I wanted to puke. But now... I'm ok with us not talking. I like having time to do things by myself. Learning more about limerence and understanding it more helped with that. I literally changed the 2 people before for the worst because of my limerence and for a long time, I felt like I wanna die and that I didn't deserve to live on some days, but I kept moving up to atone for my mistake and become better and stronger. and now I can save this lady from what the other 2 went through. Plus, I have time to keep writing my book and playing Video Games, and writing in general!
The point is, the more I researched Limerence and learned about the more I deep-dived into my brain to find what specifically causes my limerence. It's something I'm ready to face in therapy now. I didn't know I was ADHD until I was 25 and Autistic until 27. everyone saw me as weird and creepy (because I zone out a lot aka dissociate a lot and people thought I was staring when I wasn't) Most neurotypical women don't want an autistic ADHD man because they see them as childish and need help here and there. Combined that with how my parents and sister treated me... it means that any woman that radiates maternal instincts who isn't a mom or is an actual mom that I find attractive and my limerence goes out of control because I believe that a single mom is my perfect partner. They are fit to replace my parents and feel like they won't judge me and accept me as I am. Then I try hard to befriend them and cling to them. having anxiety and depression doesn't help because it triggers that as well. Because you made a bad impression and you're losing your happiness which is actually the limerence disguising itself as happiness. then I trip over myself and become even more dysregulated than I am, and I'm on Prozac 50mg for both anxiety and depression and it's not strong enough to stop the limerence. I need to go back on Adderall but on the IR version for when I feel I need it because I hate being on meds. So now I have completed the First couple of steps of understanding how limerence affects me. With this my therapist (who is also Autistic) and I can tackle reclaiming power over my mind again.
So don't give up, don't think about unaliving yourself because of this. make peace with the darkness and accept it as light and dark are both sides of the same coin. They work in harmony, it creates balance. you will be ok, you will get through this. You will reclaim your mind again, but you must dig and push past the fear. if you can afford therapy, go to therapy it helps. if not, I'll do my best to share tips I learn in therapy here each week. I believe in us all! We got this everyone, don't give up! :D

I (29F) work part time (3 days per week) and my husband (32M) works 5 days per week. We have fairly traditional gender values in our household: man = provider, woman = caretaker but all the financial stress on one person is too much so i work too.
Im happy to work but with all the responsibilities of the home life, i cant do a job this hard. I returned to work in february after having 1 year of maternity leave off. Whilst i was on mat leave, my work removed all flexibility with working from home which was a perk i liked a lot before and need moreso now. Ive also been given more work than all my fulltime colleagues and have raised it multiple times and its still not been addressed. My boss says it will eventually but the months are going by and theyre not hiring new people so its not going to change.
We also want to grow our family at the end of this year and the idea of doing a job this hard, while raising a toddler and being pregnant is very offputting to me. Im very stressed, already burnt out and am so overloaded Im forgetting things.
I have applied for other jobs (one that i really want) but havent heard back yet (specifically applying for government roles so the recruitment processes will take months).
I asked my husband if he would be upset if i quit my current job now. He said it would negatively affect our finances but if thats what i really needed to do then do it. It feels like a no to me, like i would be a shit person who cant handle it and im putting our family in a bad position. We have a lot of savings and i am hoping to get another job within a couple of months. However both my husband and i are usually the type to never dip into savings, always pay your weekly bills from your earned income that week. But everyday im so burntout and depressed, i dont want to keep doing this for months.
And I would so love to refresh a little bit, have a month or so off work and get a fresh dinner on the table every night and have a clean home,get all the laundry done, plan lots of fun outings and go to the gym and breathe a little before starting an easier job. But idk, wibta?
Tldr: i want to quit my job cause its killing me and im struggling to be a good housewife when most of the house and child responsibilities are on me but husband said it will affect our family negatively and i should just deal with it until i get a new job

3	I'm actually really curious about this one.. whats the reason behind the decision to implement such game changing balance changes in the middle of cwl?

4	What does the future of builder base look like?It seems we went silent yet again after rework. Also now that versus battle has been removed, is there any scope for clan based event for builder base?	Although we're proud of the work we did with the BB2.0 update and made its core gameplay much more fun, I think we still didn't answer the question of what is the Builder Base is for and why couldn't we just do the cool stuff there in the Home Village. And that's something we need to figure out still. In the meantime we felt the focus on Builder Base and Clan Capital in the last few years had come at the expense of long overdue improvements on the Home Village, so we decided to focus this year just on the Home Village.

5	Will there be something new in Builder Base or Clan Capital related to Main village that will urge players to play more Builder Base and Clan Capital. Currently we have - Builder Base - Gear Up,Gem Mine Clan Capital - Raid Medal for Reinforcement and Trader shop	We're not sure on the team if this is really the right way to proceed. We don't want players to play BB and CC just to get a benefit in the Home Village. That's not respectful of your time and it's unclear if it's better for the game. We're still thinking about how these three parts should relate in future.

6	Hey Stuart! Im a th15 strategic rusher and I was wondering: -are going to be ways to catch up with ores if you missed out on events in the past? I got back to playing clash about 3 month ago, just after fireball equipment so I used my saved up gems to buy gg fa and fb. -is it possible to add all epic equipment in new events so that people that missed out could get them without spending 1500 gems? Make them the same price as the new epic so that you can catch up by buying the pass or extra event resources.	Hey welcome back! For making equipment available, we have talked about having a selection of epic equipment for medals as you described. But the pricing and when we haven't decided yet.

7	Hi Stuart, Apologize if some of these have been already asked. Feel free to answer any or all: 1: Any plans to address that annoying "Clan name covering up inferno mode glitch"? There's workarounds for regular wars but in legends and when attacking you really need to zoom in and even then it's hard to tell. 2: Any possibility of changing replays so that they show the real time relative to the attacker? For example, if my clanmate clutched out an attack with 1 second left the replay won't really show that (unless you're counting the full 3 minutes from the start) 3: Continuing on with replays, is there any possibility of an updated UI to show which hero equipment are being used? This is moreso for when you're on youtube or some other media player and can't click on the hero to see. This would be a great addition for spectators of esports for clash 4: Will there be any more updates for the tutorial levels? Those could go a long way for some of the newer players. They could even teach "fundamentals" rather than full-on attacks. 5: Last question, more of a curiosity: What is the tiebreaker for war weight when 2 players are the exact same. Subsequently, what is the tiebreaker for when 2 clanmates both have 4,000 clan games points, and also when they both have the same number of stars/destruction for cwl? Cheers!	Not sure it exactly solves your problem but we have a feature coming up in the June update that maybe helps a bit with your annoyance with Clan names.

10	Hi Stuart! More and more communities are growing around clash of clans, from clan families/alliances to community esports groups. Being heavily involved in both, are there any plans to help expand and support these types of communities? Recent QoL changes have been great on both fronts (updated chat, friendly wars during regular wars). Just curious if anything else is on the horizon. Very excited for an update on in-game recruitment as well. Current systems outside of the game are difficult to navigate as a large group.	On families/alliances. We still want to focus on the individual Clan experience with more changes and improvements before thinking about how families/alliances might work.

15	Is there any consideration towards giving the Air Sweeper new levels that are either purely cosmetic to match the base, or perhaps have a very minor hit point upgrade and a new cosmetic design? It matches pretty well with TH16 currently, but not with multiple town halls before that and probably not with most future town halls.	Yeah we've had considered the cosmetic/HP only Air Sweeper levels a few times on the team but it always felt like an unsatisfying upgrade. We also briefly experimented with giving the Air Sweeper an extra damage effect BUT we didn't find something that was meaningful without killing certain air strategies.

Currently we're working on a mix of more medium sized things than another megaproject like Clan Capital. That's working better for us to bring y'all improvements and cool things steadily.

17	Hello Stuart, I have 2 questions I want to ask you about CWL. Is there a reason why in CWL there can only be 15 people or 30 people at once participating in rounds? And is there plans to make options for 20 to 25 people participating in CWL (Below champions league), to be a thing in the future?	It basically comes down to making sure we have enough Clans at different sizes in each League for things to behave sensibly. That's the reason we didn't extend the 30 size group into Champions League. It's something we've talked about making more flexible but no concrete commitment yet sorry!

18	Hi Stuart, are there plans to add more leagues above Champions 1 to CWL, like Titan 3 etc? Also, any plans to add tiers on the Legend League based on trophies?	More CWL leagues and multiplayer leagues is something we've discussed doing but there's no concrete plan for when that might happen. With Legends League there's many different reasons people are there and it currently isn't so well serving all of those needs from folk seeking the best competition, to folk who are just very active ending up there. We need to think how this could work better for everyone.	CWL, Multiplayer	https://www.reddit.com/ClashOfClans/comments/1d9ggko/comment/l7d2mg4/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

20	Hi! I believe this will be a great opportunity to ask this question! For the future of Clash of Clans, since there are now many event troops added to the game, will there be a possibility to add a barrack for those troops? As bases gets more and more complex throughout the updates, having a bigger variety for attacks would not only encourage players to play more, but also to have a crazier and more amazing attacks to watch in the pro scene! I do understand that some event troops may be OP, so some could be reworked/nerfed and it could work similar to the super troop barrack, where you can only activate a certain amount of those troops	One of the things we like about event troops is that they're only around for a short while. That lets us go a bit wilder and weirder sometimes than if something was gonna be in the game forever. Sorry to disappoint but it's very unlikely we'd let people use event troops "out of season". Maybe if we had the equivalent of a "creative" mode we could let players try out all the chaos though? Then there's no worries about balance.

24	Hi Stewart! Few Q’s for you, appreciate whatever you’re able to get around to answering. State of the game: How do you envision the state of esports going forward & how do you plan to tackle the current state of balance - for example are there any plans to create a separate balance state for players competing in leagues / tournaments & how far would this extend to everyday areas of the game? i.e cwl / legends / war Both wars & legend league have remained largely unchanged since their inception & whilst they’re both still enjoyable cornerstones of the game, they’ve grown to become repetitive / stale in their current format at times - does the team have any plans to breathe new life into these modes? QoL: Obstacles that have been previously moved with a shovel but are not currently stashed are required to be re-placed every time you open a new layout through the link feature. Would it be possible to change this so that they remain fixed in position by default? Any plans to revamp donating to make it less awkward so that you’re not required to manually retrain & drag & delete your army every time you donate? i.e some sort of auto-queue feature Could we see more skin randomiser customisation options / presets in future? i.e a day / night scenery randomiser & a toggle for matching hero skins & sceneries? Any plans to finish pre-existing skin lines? eg. clockwork champ I’d love to have the option to listen to the ambient scenery background sounds unique to each scenery w/o the scenery music, is this something you’d consider implementing if feasible? Furthermore some of the older sceneries lack custom scenery music - is something you plan to extend to the rest of them?	So many questions. I'll answer the first one! We're planning to introduce an optional Hard Mode that can be used for Friendly Challenges and Friendly Wars. This will be introduced in our June update. The exact settings of what that mode will be are still TBD and the plan is to make further adjustments to it based on community feedback. It would be used for the world finals this year. We'll think about if and how we might use this in other areas of the game. The skill gap in our players is extremely wide. Some are wanting a really tough experience while others, who are still very loyal active players are looking for something more chill. It was clear from TH15 that we overshot the mark on what that more casual audience were looking for. We're hoping to give players more choice in difficulty and their experience in future.

25	Hello Stuart. How come your team has decided to nerf the defence at th10-th15 even when the game has already been made easier in December 2023? Surely with the new hero equipment which gave a massive boost to the heroes the game didn't need to get any easier right? I am asking since there was a big backlash after the first wave of defence nerfs so nerfing the defences for a second time wouldn't that make the game too easy for those who are looking for a challenge? Lastly, will there anything be added to clash of clans in the future to those who would like a challenge? Like a challenge mode to clan wars (one attack clan wars or clan wars that remain the same but with buffed defence or restricted cc etc). Thank you so much for hosting this AMA Stuart and I wish your team the best when it comes to developing clash of clans in the future.	We have set targets on the 3 star rates we'd like to see at different Town Halls. As we add more Town Halls and speed up the progression, what used to be the endgame hardest content ends up actually turning up pretty early in player's time with the game. Town Hall 12 actually had the 2nd lowest 3 star rate for a while recently. So we will always need to go make adjustments to get things back on track. Part of the long-term solution here is also to build better tools for players to learn better strategies. The game actually does a terrible job of making that discoverable right now without going outside of the game and watching creator videos. We'd definitely want to improve on this and happy to hear people's ideas on what might work here. I've posted elsewhere about our Hard Mode idea we're testing out for those looking for a harder challenge. Hopefully this lets players tune their experience better, and we hope in the long-run we can help more players level up their skills and enjoy the game's full challenges.

26	Do you like the way the game is going?	Yes. I wish I could time travel a few years in the future to bring you back all the cool stuff we've been talking about on the team. But unfortunately that's not possible. More than doubling the size of the team last year was tough and it gave us a bunch of issues. Unfortunately some of those spilled out to you all in the form of more bugs/oversights than we would have wanted. But we've improved our processes and the bigger team is needed for us to improve the game. I think we are doing more at once than we've managed in the past so we can bring you that dream future version faster. Thanks for the patience bearing with us while we get there.

27	Why isn't there a mechanic that incentives game time or time on app? As an active player, I am almost always ONLY waiting for builders and almost always with full storages (or close enough that there's zero point doing anything). It actually incentivizes me to play less or not at all. Why not a small builder boost per attack star earned (relative to league placement)? Eg. if you 3 star a base in Titan, you get a 10 minute builder boost or something. Seems counterintuitive to voluntarily limit play time and time on app. There should be some reward, even small, for wanting to play more.	Our timers are too long and we are working to bring them down. We agree too often active people get blocked with nothing to do by timers. But we also don't want those active players to run out of things to upgrade and are playing for. So we want to introduce more systems to the game that let us add more to do and play for. It'll take time to build those systems but as we have more of them our average timers will shrink. At the same time at Supercell we don't believe infinite play time is healthy for players in the long run either. So having timers and similar mechanics is needed somewhat. We don't want Clash to be a game where people feel they have to play X hours a day, as that discourages people from even trying it.

33	Why Archer Towers,Cannons are not getting new level in Th16?	We plan to eventually merge them all away into Multi-Archer Towers and Ricochet Cannons.

34	As per latest report, coc would be releasing new townhall level after every 12 month. Even though there are curs being made at cost or time for upgrades, for low level townhall catching up sure seems impossible. And walls after th14 is a nightmare unless the game has already been beaten. How would this be addressed? 2. Due to the limited size of home Village, with new Townhall levels, there will be limited building that can be added, there's not much fun in it, if new buildings or elements don't come in from time to time right? How will this be addressed	We will keep up with cost and time cuts to upgrades in order to help lower level folk catch up. We have quite a big set coming in our June update. I agree Wall costs are a bit silly and we should probably think again. Originally they were a bit of a stretch goal for loot to get sunk in. But maybe the game doesn't need that now there's more things to do. Our plan is to use merging more in future to keep the number of buildings in the Village reasonable. That gives us the space to introduce more new buildings with future Town Hall releases. Our current thinking is new defenses are exciting for a few Town Halls and then become less interesting. So your village should always be filled with relatively new and interesting defenses, even if that means sadly waving goodbye to that first Cannon you upgraded way back when you started.

35	Hi Stuart, Any hints/clues you could give the community for TH17? And how is the progress going on with the TH17 project, have you decided a theme, signature defence, possible new hero etc...? Thank you!	We've decided on the theme. And we're maybe 80% sure we're gonna merge the Eagle Artillery into the Town Hall so we move on from infernoy beams after 4 Town Halls with that. But don't worry, we'll come up with something new and signaturey (though we don't know what is yet)	Home Village	https://www.reddit.com/ClashOfClans/comments/1d9ggko/comment/l7d4qi3/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
36	Hi Stuart! Thanks for the Q+A, I had a few questions myself. Is merging required to upgrade to TH17? is this the plan from now on when creating new THs? That everything has to be merged to get new buildings? Clash thrives on a social battlefront, and I knew I have more fun in clans with my friends, it can make any grind less tedious. But it has always felt like it was lacking that little bit EXTRA you know? Some possible updates that my friends have made up were: Self Clan Wars: Start a quick war within your own clan to practice without the stress of needing a 3 star every time. It could be a separate tab, similar as to how you can see prep day for the following day in CWL. An auto-Donate replacement feature (can be toggled on and off), where the troop you donate is instantly remade and shuffled to the front, would be a nice QoL change This sounds really stupid, but like, maybe a friendly mode where you can attack with modifiers to spice it up. IE: Defenses do 1.5x damage BUT you have 10 xtra spell slots, or the defensive targeting is switched. just stupid crap like that can bring a little life into an attack. I'm so glad you are doing this Q+A and if you get around to reading mine, thank you so much. We all love your game and are excited to see what's to come!	Hey! Yes, merging all possible buildings will be an upgrade requirement for TH17 and beyond. So all of you out there, get upgrading those rushed archer towers and cannons. We have talked about letting players do more weird stuff with custom modifiers to create your own ridiculous scenarios to goof about with (or get super serious and keep cranking the difficulty higher and higher)	Home Village, Quality of Life	https://www.reddit.com/ClashOfClans/comments/1d9ggko/comment/l7d6ify/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

39	When can we expect the june update ?	We're aiming for June 17th. The team's working on bug fixes at the moment and plans can always change. So if it's later please don't come by with pitch forks. The last time I think we confirmed a date we had to postpone, that was April 1st 2019 when we were planning to launch Season Challenges. But we found a last minute bug and had to re-submit for the next day. And of course nobody believed us that we were really postponing/really planning to release on April Fool's day.

40	Hi Stuart, Could Legends League get a little love? E.g, first eight attacks count towards trophies but you could still attack after that for loot but no trophies are gained for those attacks. Legends League base are for the trophy attacks and home village base for the ’loot attacks’. This would make ’fake legends farming’ pointless. Thanks!	It would be pretty unbalanced since you couldn't lose any loot. Legends should be mostly about competitive trophy pushing but a whole ton of people are there for loot. It's more likely we will make multiplayer looting better throughout the game + split out Legends to be more focused on competition.

43	Are you going to add new villages to the game? Develop the game in this direction?	We're pretty unlikely to add any more permanent villages. This is already a huge game and there's a lot already for players to do across Home Village, Builder Base and Clan Capital. And there's a ton for our team to do still in those three areas.

44	Hi Stuart! First off thank you for helping keep Clash of Clans alive for so long, it’s my favorite game personally. I wanted to know if at some point we could have customizable goblin maps to share with our clan mates to attack, or if anything like that might be in the works for the future?	Yeah we've talked about a creative mode/custom challenge level creator feature. It'd be cool to see what sort of wild things you'd all cook up with it.

45	Do you think it is a good idea to do a new townhall every year.wont it be hard on the people in lower townhalls.	I think it's good for it to be something that players know when to expect, rather than being quite arcane speculation. I would like us to be much more transparent with our roadmap and timings in future, and we'll get there eventually. We are also in control of how quickly people can catch up. And we will keep making improvements so more and more of our players can enjoy the fun of being at the latest hall.

46	What do you have in mind for the general direction that the game is going in? Can we expect any new fundamental addition (i.e. another system like ores)?	We've got a few ideas in early stages of being thought about. My fave is troop mastery where by completing quests using a troop well you could unlock some extra abilities/buffs to that troop. It'd be a nice way to encourage players to try out different troops and let folk go deeper on the troops they really enjoyed. But important disclaimer it's not my decision and if the people doing the work think of something better they'll do that instead!

[english is not my first language so if there are any spelling errors or anything pls ignore]
So i am gonna try to make this short and easy to understand for about 3 years i have had a art teacher who has made it her job to torment my existence , i have been got at art at a young age , and after the pandemic was over i was in the 8 th grade and we got a new art teacher at first she was fine i didn't notice anything but after a week or two she showed her true colors to put it bluntly she played favorites [she confessed to it by the end of the same year] since this story is over the span of 3 years i will divide it into time lines
2022
i was in the 8th grade and was chilling with my friends at the back our school took some time to find a art teacher so usually we just got a substitute , so after a few weeks we found out our school had hired this art teacher at the start of the term she just didn't show up and sent random teachers in her place wo weren't even substitute's so when she did decide to show up we thought she was another substitute , then she goes on to say that she had been sending the substitutes [admitting to not doing her job] she covered it up by saying that the substitutes were sent to check if there were any students good at art that she could pick for special projects in the future .
she talked so much during classes abut feelings and shit that she got awarded the nickname the therapist so when she started to play favorite's and since i was good at art she tried to make me one of her teachers pets but in support of my friends who she treated badly for not being good at art i did my own thing that annoyed her .
2023
9th grade she had almost given up on trying to make me one of her teachers pets so resorted to just ignoring me which i was fine with the true entitlement started when one of a maths teachers had to take a day off she came as a substitute but i did not care i just sat there for like 15 mins solving a question got bored and took out my files [for some context i use to carry around 2 files full of my most dutiful paintings and sketches while i was minding my business talking to my friend and drawing side by side she in the background was talking to her top student after not even 2 mins of me just drawing and talking she comes over to me and snatches my files while i was drawing for everyone who doesn't know while shading to give a good dark and depth effect you must really apply a lot of pressure on the paper she pulled the file that the sheet of paper was in causing 3 painting to tare she goes on to scream at me saying something along the lines of "HOW DARE YOU StEl MY FAVORATE STUDENTS PAINTINGS , HOW DARE YOU DRAW ON HER PAINTINGS ' something like that i couldn't really understand what she was talking about she goes on to push me out of the class and proudly put my file on her "ToP STudenTS ' desk and say that you should be more carful withe people like me around everyone looks at her cluelessly including me before i could prosses what just happed she gets up as close to my face as possible without touching me and screams get to the principals office . likely one of my friends stood up and said that the file was mine she sayes "oh so you wanna stand by your friend then stand with him at the principal office it wasn't until like half the class stood up and said that the file was mine including her top student she decided on checking the name on the file which was mine as i sat back down at my desk she looks at my paintings she practically tares them off the file at this point i am mad to the point i was literally red and i have a lot of anger issues so before i went all ballistic on this idiot my friend stopped me an explained that i cant get revenge like this which made me calm down after that i got so mad that i opened google and started writing a google review for my school i said some crazy shit about her that made me feel better for a wile 3 months later she sees that review and says to take it down or she would involve the school i had a pretty good understanding for the student lawn in my country so i knew nor her or the school could do anything but i didn't wanna entertain this so i just said ok , i took in down she did more stuff in the middle which caused me to do what i did in 2024
2024
10th grade i was sick and tired of her shit so i wanted to do something about it so i was forced into a project with her unfortunately we took a group photo in which i was visibly depressed so i thought to use it and make a meme out of it and make a fake acc to post the same comment again , both the meme and the post got a lot of attention around school so did the principal who shortly after fired her for having a bad image after her last week had started which se was supposed to take online i wrote a ling email to her confessing to her that i made the meme and the post she went ballistic but i kept going i found all her social media accounts and sent all the people who follow her and sent them the meme and the post and once i have posted this one i will share it too
so am i the jerk
[if you guys wanna know all the stuff she did in 2023 tell me because she did some diabolical stuff that i just couldn't cover in one post]

This is going to be a long post. I suggest anyone who wants to give me advice should set aside some time to read this complicated situation.
I will add my family's race because it is relevant to the situation.
My family and I are Asian.
My Boyfriend's parents are conservative Americans in the way that they want Boyfriend to be the sole earner for his future family, but I would still have the freedom to work or become a housewife. A few weeks ago, my Boyfriend has told me that his mother has been making joke disguised hints about wanting grandkids from him. Today, he has told me that his parents are urging him to propose to me soon, in around 2 months.
My Boyfriend recently has been telling me how his parents has been wanting grandkids soon, but I did not expect that they wanted it THAT soon. I really respect his parents and they consider me family. As much as I want to please them, my Boyfriend and I both agree that we are not yet ready for marriage for reasons I will detail later in the post. My initial reaction was surprised, and we went into a detailed discussion after that.

1. The reason behind the suggestion of proposal.

My Boyfriend has told me that each of his parents both want for him to get married and start a family with me soon, but they both have different reasons behind it.
My Boyfriend has half-siblings from his father's first marriage. Boyfriend is the only child of his father's second wife, and the youngest out of his siblings. The age gap between him and the youngest half-sibling is almost 10 years.
His father is on borrowed time, as he was diagnosed with an illness relating to his nerves. He has expressed that he would like to see my Boyfriend get married and have a grandchild before he passes away. Boyfriend's grandfather died before meeting the youngest half-sibling, and Boyfriend's father wishes for that situation to not happen to him before he dies.
His mother's reason is simpler. Boyfriend was his mother's only child, and misses having a child present in her life. He has summed it up as her being ready to become a loving and involved grandparent.

1. The problems behind the suggestion and our reaction.

Boyfriend and I both live with our parents. Me living with my parents is more of the woman living with family until they are married and for financial reasons, while Boyfriend's living situation is just for financial reasons.
We had a tough time midway in our traditional college education and got delayed. However, we got back up and we are working towards a different path in education. We are now both currently working in jobs that don't pay enough to live on our own while we attend college in different degrees that would eventually get us high paying jobs in the oil industry. This will take the both of us at least a year before we can start making serious money.
The problem is that we both don't have a stable career at the moment, and it will take us at least a year to start making the kind of money enough to support us until retirement.
This is a problem both of us have brought up in the discussion and agree this is the main obstacle to what his parents are asking.
His parents proposing for us to get married and have kids involves money and living space both of us don't have yet. From what boyfriend has told me, they have proposed solutions to these problems, but he believes them to be not as well thought out as they have given him a barebones version of their so-far solution.
Their solution to marriage costs is to have a backyard wedding ceremony, with each family's wedding invite being a dish for everyone to eat. To be fair, they do have a very large and nice backyard, and I have no problem with backyard weddings if done very nicely.
Their solution to the living situation/kids is to have me move into their house. Boyfriend's parents have explained that they are willing to cover housing, living, and grandkids cost, to only worry about working/education so that we can save and earn as much money as possible.

1. My reaction and my family's possible reaction.

Right now, my family knows nothing about this situation. Only me. This happened just today during an outing. The only family members I will allow on being involved in this situation to support me are my parents (47F/51M). I have a younger brother (22M), and my guess is that he would be as clueless as I am in how to navigate this. I'm not expecting much from him in this situation anyways, but I know he will be there for me when I want to let anything out to vent and seek his opinion on.
As stated in point 2, in my culture, daughters live with their family until we are married. My parents also believe that an unmarried woman should never visit a man's house/family house as they think it is improper for a woman to do so. Contrarily, they don't think it is improper for a man to visit a woman's house/family house. The point is that they have conservative views on relationships and marriage regarding me, the only daughter. For those wondering, no they do not hold these same views with my brothers.
Based on this information and point 2, I believe my parents would be against the suggestion of me getting married and moving out of the house at this point of my life. Especially my father, as he has told me in occasion on how worried he is about living life away from family and would decide if I am ready to start life away from the family or not.
Personally, I also believe that I am not ready for marriage, but from a financial standpoint. I always ask myself if my finances can support any decision I would make. In this case, no. My current job isn't enough to fund a wedding or support a child. I know his parents are the one insisting on covering all living expenses, but it would make me and my boyfriend uncomfortable for them to do that in fear of strings being attached to it and feeling ashamed in not being able to provide all of this ourselves.

1. Did I give the "correct" response to how this situation with his parents should be handled?

At the end of the discussion, I told my boyfriend to let his parents have a discussion with my parents. This is a situation that involves differing beliefs between 2 families. I believe that it warrants a discussion between my Boyfriend, I, and both sets of our parents so that there is no conflict. Boyfriend has expressed that he is unsure if this discussion would change as his father's mind, as he has told me that he is a stubborn person. He is as unsure as I am in how the whole situation would turn out.
Was this the correct move on my part? This was my initial response at the beginning of the conversation, and still is after going into a long discussion. Please feel free to share me your perspective on this situation and your advice.
I will be updating this situation in the future for further advice since; to be honest, I have no clue whether what I do next would be the most "correct" action to this situation. I would like non-biased guidance along the way. Thank you for your time.

Guys, I’m scared. I received a letter today saying Medicaid will no longer cover me starting in August. I have no idea what we’re going to do. We have a little boy, I’m a stay at home mom. My husband and I just moved and my husbands job makes less than his old one. It only looked like he made more because of “mandatory” overtime for inventory one weekend and now I’m losing Medicaid. I hate being on Medicaid…but I appreciate that it’s there. There’s no way I would’ve been able to afford all the testing last year for diagnosis if it wasn’t for Medicaid. To add me to his insurance would be 700$ a month and I don’t know how we could afford that. I’m also terrified of the assistance program for Kesimpta not going toward the deductible or out of pocket max and I’ll be stuck with no dmt. I’m just scared. I’m so scared. I’m even scared to post this because I’ll know I’ll be judged for being on Medicaid. I’ve always reported every dollar we’ve made and tried to do things the right way. I’ve never tried to just “use” it or live off it. We don’t get food stamps just the medical care. I’m trying to not panic too much but my God I’m scared.

I've blocked the user so they can't see this post to give you time to address this if you've been compromised.
Long story short, if you've installed and used that node, your browser passwords, credit card info, and browsing history have been sent to a Discord server via webhook.
I've been personally affected by this. About a week after I installed this package, I got a ton of malicious login notifications on a bunch of services, so I'm absolutely sure that they're actively using this data.
Here's how to verify:
The custom node has custom wheels for the OpenAI and Anthropic libraries in requirements.txt. Inside those wheels are malicious code. You can download the wheels and unzip to see what's inside.
If you have the wheel labeled 1.16.2 installed:

• it's actually installing 1.16.3, which doesn't exist. There is no 1.16.3 — the release history goes from 1.16.2 to 1.17. https://pypi.org/project/openai/#history
• Inside that package, you'll find /lib/browseadmin.py. This file reads your browser data and stores it in your temp directory in a subdirectory with the format pre_XXXXX_suf. Inside, you'll find C.txt and F.txt, corresponding to Chrome or Firefox data.
• The file contains an encrypted string. When you decrypt, it points to a Discord webhook: https://discord.com/api/webhooks/1226397926067273850/8DRvc59pUs0E0SuVGJXJUJSwD_iEjQUhq-G1iFoe6DjDv6Y3WiQJMQONetAokJD2nwym
• This file is sending your data to that webhook.

If you have 1.30.2 installed:

• Again, it's compromised. You'll find openai/_OAI.py. Inside are two encrypted strings that are Pastebin links. I won't paste them here so you don't accidentally download the files...
• The first Pastebin link contains another encrypted string that, when decrypted, points to another Discord webhook: https://discord.com/api/webhooks/1243343909526962247/zmZbH3D5iMWsfDlbBIauVHc2u8bjMUSlYe4cosNfnV5XIP2ql-Q37hHBCI8eeteib2aB
• The second contains the URL for a presumably malicious file, VISION-D.exe. The script downloads and runs that file.
• From looking at the rest of the code, it looks like the code is creating a registry entry, as well as stealing API keys and sending them to the Discord webhook.

Here's how to tell if you've been affected:

1. Check C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\Local\Temp. Look for directories with the format pre_XXXX_suf. Inside, check for a C.txt and F.txt. If so, your data has been compromised.
2. Check python_embedded\site-packages for the following packages. If you have any installed, your data has been compromised. Note that the latter two look like legitimate distributions. Check for the files I referenced above.
   1. openai-1.16.3.dist-info
   2. anthropic-0.21.4.dist-info
   3. openai-1.30.2.dist-info
   4. anthropic-0.26.1.dist-info
3. Check your Windows registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\OpenAICLI. You're looking for FunctionRun with a value of 1. If it's set, you've been compromised.

Here's how to clean it up:
At least, from what I can tell... There may be more going on.

1. Remove the packages listed above.
2. Search your filesystem for any references to the following files and remove them:
   1. lib/browseadmin.py
   2. Cadmino. py
   3. Fadmino. py
   4. VISION-D.exe
3. Check your Windows registry for the key listed above and remove it.
4. Run a malware scanner. Mine didn't catch this.
5. Change all of your passwords, everywhere.
6. F*** that guy.

Before you assume that this was an innocent mistake, u/applebotzz updated this code twice, making the code harder to spot the second time. This was deliberate.
From now on, I'll be carefully checking all of the custom nodes and extensions I install. I had kind of assumed that this community wasn't going to be like that, but apparently some people are like that.
F*** that guy.

This is going to be a long post, i apologize in advance. Will try to put a concise TLDR at the end.
Currently i am pursuing my bachelors in economics, first year and i want to start working towards creating my career. However, I don't really have anybody to guide me irl at all, no big sister or elder brother, no successful senior or decent alumni network. My college doesn't really provide me with much opportunities and peers are also really ambitionless. Im pretty much on my own.
I have A LOT of time in my hands in this uni and can dedicate a huge chunck of my day towards developing my skills/studying for exams/whatever is required of me. I also consider myself a fairly disciplined and dedicated individual if the situation requires, not the most hardworking but im working on changing that pattern.
However, The thing with corporate is everybody in family is against it. My father is an engineer in a PSU and is very very anti-private jobs. From his experience 30 years ago in civil engineering, he truly believes that private jobs suck the soul out of you and demean you as a person. So he really wishes for me to try for govt exams and govt jobs.
The other thing is, in my family both of maternal unlces worked in corporate. They weren't from any reputated colleges whatsoever at all, graduated from worse than tier 3 mba colleges but when i say that they are highly charismatic and extremely wellspoken, SUCH hardworking people, i mean it. They got the skills. They really climbed that corporate ladder hard. Both were in sales.

1. My chhote mama in the end was working in samsung at very high post, was the regional manager of a very large domain of north india, had a package of upwards of 50+ LPA but the workload was so much, that he suffered from an heart attack at the age of 35. Thankfully, he survived and is alright now but that really opened his eyes and he quit his job the next day. Now he is working on his own business and has done fairly well with whatever circumstances he was given.
2. My other mama, who is even more talented and intelligent than the above mentioned mama, right now works as a vise president of the entire sales department of a very repuated company and has a package of upwards of 1.5cr but just yesterday, he also suffered from a mini heart attack. Please keep in mind these are really fit, 6 feet plus guys, no smoking no drinking no tobacco pure veg people (not saying non veg food is bad or ANYTHING pls dont get offended and make this the topic of conversation).

And thats the thing. Even though both my mama earn really good money, we have never seen them not stressed out. I remember when i was young and visit them during summer vacation, raat ko 11-11 baje unko unke boss ka call aata tha and they would shout and hurl abuses at them. The pressure was simply astronomical. No respect, no wlb. Both have really strained relationship with their wives because of this too. Their life basically happens on tours, they were never home. Which has kind of also scared me off sales for sure, if not corporate.
The second thing is, seeing how extroverted and charismatic they are, i kinda doubt my skills. I am definitely more on the introverted side, have a limited social energy, not the most charismatic person either. Im more of a reading my book quietly in the bedroom person than being the life of the party in the drawing room kind of person. I am also extremely prone to anxiety (clinically diagnosed) and overthinking. Matlab, what im saying is that, im not the most "jo hoga dekha jayega" "take it easy" kind of a person. If there is something to be stressed about, you better believe im stressing out about it on the full intensity. I think this is also the time i should mention that i suffer from an autoimmune disease and it flares up during high stress situations.
So my question is, is corpoarte a good fit for me? are all domains (finance, consulting, operations)(finance particuarly because i wish it to aim it if im to enter corporate) as stressful as sales? Is it possible to achieve a good wlb with a good pay (1.5-2L) if you're not from tech background? Listen, all i want from life is a job that doesn't suck the soul out of me w a decent pay, hopefully i get to live in tier 1 city and quality people to hang out with/a few good friends. Thats all. So, should i go for corporate?
Because my other option is preparing for upsc, state pcs etc and i'll be honest, the tedium of the govt sector is not the most appealing to me. Na hi mujhe bahot zyada paise ki bhook hai na hi power ki. Nor do i have an extraordinary aim to "change the country" or anything i'll be very honest. If i'll be preparing for upsc it'll just be another job. Everybody arounds me believes that i have the potential to crack these exams but i think everybody who scores good in school exams and maybe reads a few books thinks that so thats irrelevant. I do think that i must mention that i was going through the syllabus of upsc, i pretty much knew about more than 30% of it because history/geography/philosophy/ethics are truly my area of interest and i study them regardless, just out of sheer interest. So Upsc is really one exam that a person like me is cut out for, hoga nahi hoga vo alag baat hai but i think i would be a fair competition.
So please guide me, what should i do? which path should i start putting my hardwork towards? Is corporate actually really horrible? Can a person with anxiety issues survive?

It’s a little long for background but I’m new to management, coming up on my 1 yr next month. I was working as a temp manager without the title or pay for the latter half of last year when our original manager was voluntold to resign. She was amazing and it looks like it was office politics (totally bummed me out).
Fast forward to January of this year, we had layoffs with a 25% reduction in our org alone and I was immediately promoted to manager when my team and another team were hastily merged together. At the time, the other team’s manager was just back from leave as she had been out since mid last year. I never really worked directly with her before. Shortly after my promotion, this other manager was promoted and became my boss (she’s now two titles/levels above me). I don’t know her experience prior to this current company, but she was only managing two people prior to the layoffs, who are both high performers and easy to work with (I’ve partner closely with them in the past). To be clear, they were high performers before she ever got hired. I feel it’s also key to know she’s best friends with the GM we had at the time, which feels like it played a part in her hiring and promotions (based on what I know now).
Even now, there’s still a lot of upheaval in the company with that GM (her best friend) being let go suddenly last month. We now have a new GM who has already implied we’re getting completely re-orged again in the next few weeks. I have not told the new GM my concerns as of yet. I know from various other managers who have told me, the new GM is super impressed with me (I already talked and presented to him multiple times) and I honestly really like him (style reminds me of my old boss who I loved). I just fear telling this GM feedback about my boss will backfire on me.
Quite frankly, I feel that my new boss is the worse manager I’ve had in my working career. Her coaching style is basically to tell me what she thinks I’m doing is wrong with little direction on how to improve. And I feel like if I don’t ask the right questions I don’t get help/guidance at all. She doesn’t invite me to meetings I should be included to keep my own team informed and tells me she doesn’t think it’s a good use of my time (not true in my opinion). I’m starting to wonder if she’s hoarding certain work out of insecurity or fear due to the recent layoffs? She only gives positive encouragement after her new boss (new GM) gives it to me first (I assume so the GM sees it as he CCs her). She doesn’t advocate for me or anyone on the team, except she constantly shows favoritism to the teammates she use to manage (others have noticed on their own as it’s obvious). She even regularly tells me how she wants her one favorite to be a manager - there’s not going to be resources for them to be a manager as long as I’m there. There’s a lot of other behavior that feels undermining to me. It’s such a weird dynamic and I don’t trust her at all.
Would you stay and see how the reorg goes? Would you coast while looking for a new job? Or would you suggest something else?
I love my job and my team, but I feel like I’m being sabotaged by my new boss and/or she’s super inexperienced (not sure which). It would probably take me 6-12 months to find a job in the current state of the market. I have plenty of liquid savings that would last 2 or more years, but a new job is a risk / unknown as well.

At its surface, it's basically a cute and cozy love letter to the first Legend of Zelda, with emphasis on cute and cozy because the graphics, art direction, soundtrack and sound design is adorably endearing. Every enemy feels like it a plushie come to life and this includes the bosses! This game is so good at being a comfort game that it almost didn't need to have an esoteric but incredibly engaging story.
Almost.
Because once I figured out what the Holy Cross was and the inportance of the Manual Pages, the game became something else. It went from being a simple yet polished homage of a game, to a deep mystery surrounding your character and their role in this world, as well as the world itself and why it is in its current state. The game goes deep and dark once you've rung the two bells and getting "killed" by the Heir was genuinely one of the biggest WTF moments I've had in a video game in a very long time.
And using the Manual as a sort of convoluted guide, with all of its visual keys, scribbled hints and hidden lore was nothing short of brilliant. Reading this alien language where you only understand a few words and phrases is such a good way of making the pages seem dense with information without overwhelming the player, placing their focus where it ought to be without too much confusion. Figuring out how to sprint without using stamina, or that you can activate obelisks by praying next to them felt great! You're rewarded for being diligent and paying attention to what the game is offering you and since each Manual Page is scattered throughout the world, finding and reading them is genuinely exciting!
Then, we have the mentions of the Holy Cross. This was without a doubt the biggest mind blow of this game. I've played enough Castlevania to assume that the Holy Cross would be a weapon of sorts, or maybe a key. In any case, I was certain that it would at least be a physical object obtainable within the game, like a usable item. But to learn on my own that it's actually referring to the D-pad on the controller was incredible! This mystery alone made me incredibly happy that I knew nothing of this game going into it.
I'm a huge fan of environmental storytelling and the developers of this game really knew what they were doing in that aspect. Couple that with combat and exploration reminiscent of the classic Zeldas, with room for sequence breaking if you know the secrets this game has to offer, and you've got an incredible experience that is more than worthy of your time. Combat isn't too hard either, with the added option to change its difficulty further whenever you feel like it. This keeps you focused on exploring the world, pondering its puzzles and figuring out where to go and what to do next.
Also, I can't talk about this game without mentioning the Golden Path. Figuring that out was by far the hardest, most fun, most frustrating and most satisfying thing in the entire game. I felt like a madman throughout the entire proccess of solving this riddle and once I finally got the door in the mountain to open, I was so incredibly happy and relieved! I'm not crazy!
Tl;dr: This game is great! 10/10 if you're into action adventures with a huge emphasis on exploration and puzzle solving.
Well done, Isometricorp Games! And thank you!

Unlocking Contact Information with Google Apps Script

Google Apps Script offers a powerful way to automate and integrate various Google services, including Sheets and Contacts. This flexibility becomes particularly useful when managing contact information stored across different Google platforms. Imagine having a Google Sheet filled with names of individuals, all of whom are valuable contacts saved in your Gmail. The challenge arises when you need to retrieve their email addresses or phone numbers without manually sifting through your contact list. This task, while seemingly straightforward, can become complex due to the limitations and deprecations in Google's Apps Script APIs, specifically when dealing with functions like ContactsApp.getContactsByName() and getAddresses().
Many users face difficulties when attempting to write scripts that efficiently fetch contact details based on names alone. Common issues include receiving incomplete data arrays or encountering deprecated functions that no longer work as expected. However, with the right approach and understanding of Google Apps Script's capabilities, it is possible to overcome these hurdles. This introduction sets the stage for exploring a method that not only addresses the problem but also integrates seamlessly with existing Google Sheets workflows, ensuring that your automation efforts are both effective and efficient.

Function	Description
ContactsApp.getContactsByName(name)	Retrieves a list of contacts matching the given name.
Contact.getEmails()	Gets the email addresses of a contact.
SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet()	Accesses the current active spreadsheet.
Sheet.getRange(a1Notation)	Gets the range of cells for the specified A1 notation.
Range.setValues(values)	Sets the values of the cells in the range.

Advanced Techniques for Contact Management in Google Apps Script

Google Apps Script stands as a versatile tool for automating and enhancing workflows across Google's suite of productivity apps. When it comes to managing contact information within Google Sheets and Google Contacts, the script offers a seamless bridge, enabling users to automate the tedious process of updating contact details.

After a decade removed from college and being in the workforce, working in a few different industries and meeting people from all walks of life, I wanted to share here my take on the age old question of "does where I go to undergrad matter?" I was once like many of you in this subreddit, obsessing over getting good grades, good extracurriculars, and doing my best to get into the best college I could, thinking it would "impact my entire future." The truth is, where you go to college does not matter as much as we are led to believe, but there is also an overcorrection now of "it makes absolutely 0 impact on your career outcomes." The answer is more nuanced:
For Investment Banking and Consulting, where you go to college absolutely can drastically impact your chances of getting hired, as well as getting hired by a prestigious firm. Due to how crazy competitive it is to get into investment banking and consulting due to the high salaries, and due to those industries being a bit more elitist than others, prestige does matter for these fields.
Common target schools are top 15ish schools (the ivy league, Stanford, Duke, UChicago etc). Students regardless of major will often find their way into elite boutiques and big banks (assuming they have good GPAs and/or are well connected).
Next in the tier of target schools are specific elite business programs where, while the school may not be overall ranked top 15 or so, their business schools are well regarded and students will be frequently hired into investment banks or top consulting firms. These are NYU, Notre Dame, Georgetown, UT-Austin, to name a few.
Then, the rest of the top 35 or so ranked schools are what are often called "semi-targets." Meaning investment banks and top consulting firms will stop by and will recruit from these schools, but at less high percentages and won't take "any majors" but rather focus on business/finance majors specifically. These are places like Michigan, UVA, Northwestern, Emory, WashU, Rice, etc etc.
However, keep in mind that most people are not cut out for the investment banking/consulting lifestyle. You may make a lot but you will be worked like a dog, be surrounded by elitist and toxic coworkers (drug use is very real just as depicted in movies), and it's a very high stress and high turnover job. Even at "target schools" Harvard is only sending about a few hundred max of their entire student body to investment banking per graduating class.
Now another field where going to a good college will help: Pre-med
In this case unlike investment banking it is not so much because med schools go "oh I think candidates from X Y Z bougie schools are smarter." It is more so because certain top schools, particularly those with strong medical school and research environments, give their premeds substantial opportunities and resources to build a strong premed resume.
Some of these include: Johns Hopkins, Penn, Harvard, Duke, WashU, Columbia.
All of those good universities (not an exhaustive list btw) have world-class med schools and many famous hospitals easily commutable from the school. It is easy for students to get research and shadowing opportunities at their school's med schools and this can really set them apart from other applicants at other schools who may not have access to such impressive resources. This is of course, assuming that they also do well on the MCAT (as those who are able to be admitted to these schools often are more likely to score higher).
Other than these fields though, where you go to college for undergrad really doesn't mean that much. Let's list a few examples:
Pre-Law: Unlike med school, law school is less focused on factors in your application besides your grades and your LSAT. If you do well on the LSAT you will get into a good law school, including top 13 ranked ones. If you are set on law school I recommend going to a local state school to save money and just make sure you ace the LSAT as where you go to law school will substantially affect your entire career, while where you went to college literally will mean squat.
Engineering/CS: Ok sure, I guess if you go to a very good program like MIT, Carnegie Mellon, or UIUC, it will probably help get your foot in the door more (assuming you also have good internship experience and decent grades). But otherwise, even if going to say Drexel means you may get a slightly less good starting job than someone at MIT, engineering and CS is not like IB or med school where getting your foot in the door in the first place is almost statistically impossible. Once you start working if you do a good job and/or work the social game well you can work your way up or switch to better and better jobs. Once you demonstrate you are a great engineer no one will ever care after your first job where you got your degree. You could be self-taught for all they care (esp in CS) and if you know your stuff employers will be fighting over you.
Any academic grad school: Same thing I said for law school. Do well during your undergrad with a good GPA, good relationships with profs for good rec letters, write a good thesis, and get a good GRE score. Where you went to undergrad will matter almost 0% if you have all of that. I know people who went to a local state school for undergrad and are now getting their PhDs at UChicago, Princeton, Stanford, all sorts of fancy places! Just like in law, where you get your grad degree in academia can make a significant difference on your career so I would also recommend going to a college that's cheaper (and less stressful!) over an elite college for undergrad if you know you want to go the academia route.
So yeah! Are there instances where going to a so-called "elite college" may make a difference? Yes there are. It is an overcorrection nowadays to say it never matters at all where you go to college. For certain fields and certain life goals going to Yale will certainly help tremendously. But for 95% of people (maybe 99%?) it does not matter. Pretty much unless you want to be a wall street suit, or you are dead set on med school (and even in the case of med school you can still get in without going to an elite school, it will just be a little harder) going to an elite college for undergrad is otherwise just a very expensive bragging right. A bragging right too that 99% of people won't care about once you graduate and if you bring it up it'll just make you look like a snobby douchebag.
