2023.03.20 23:48 Aseh00 Looking for a Watch
I have barely any knowledge when it comes to watches and even less when it comes to rep watches. But I’m searching for a budget friendly Watch with Arabic numbers. The watch doesn’t have to be real or fake just of decent quality.
Is this watch any good? : https://m.aliexpress.com/item/1005002076354093.html?pdp_npi=2%40dis%21USD%21US%20%24104.00%21US%20%2427.04%21%21%21%21%21%40210323a116793524262518453e2fe0%2112000018656090758%21btf&_t=pvid%3A83afc8e6-bcfb-42fc-b96d-5802c2bfbe6c&afTraceInfo=1005002076354093__msite__c_ppc_item_bridge__xxxxxx__1679352426&spm=a2g0n.ppclist.product.0&gatewayAdapt=Pc2Msite4itemAdapt

2023.03.20 23:48 jim_sorenson Beat XCOM: Enemy Within for the 5th time and polished off the achievements
 | Just what it says on the tin. Did 5 playthroughs, just finished the last one. submitted by jim_sorenson to Xcom [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/v6r5lavw0zoa1.png?width=1196&format=png&auto=webp&s=d5b1630cfc4aa8ab2e500726f3b92fa3be1ac085 One: Easy difficulty. Primarily trying to learn the mechanics and appreciate the story. Took my time, pursued all avenues of research. All optional missions turned on. Did about 65 achievements, then went back and got another 10 or so from saves that were in position to give me some more. North America start for no particular reason. Did some save scum but not too much needed on Easy; after all, I am a WOTC vet. Two: Classic difficulty. I did this with just 4 guys, for the achievement. Along the way did most other classic-or-higher achievements, occasionally buying up to 6 guys to do it and then redoing the mission with just 4 guys and no (other) artificial constraints. Did a fair amount of save scumming here. Asia start, also for no good reason. At this point have all but 3 achievements. Three: Impossible difficulty. LOTS of save scumming to get through it. Picked up the one achievement. Africa start, it seemed the easiest. Four: Normal difficulty, because at this point all I'm missing is continental and Ironman achievements. Played on honestman to break myself of savescum habits like reloading-as-scouting, was pretty good about sticking to it. (I did ragequit once on my turn and then get to play it over and I didn't repeat the same mistakes. Also encountered some glitches that required going to an earlier save including 3 colonels randomly vanishing.) South America start because it seemed slightly harder than Europe start. Five: Classic Ironman difficulty. I did make backup saves once a day, was very glad I did because I encountered a potential campaign-ending soft-lock on the final mission when the mutons post-sectopods failed to spawn in. Annoying did considerably worse the second time including eating a crit and blowing all my healing mist on the first room because I missed a 100% shot / 95% crit (made the hit but not the crit) (that's XCOM baby!) and losing my Assault because somehow the extra action for being within 4 tiles didn't trigger and she got hit with a void rift. Nonetheless saved the earth and mankind and picked up the last two achievements. Europe start. Fun game. Not quite as polished as WOTC but I appreciate the larger number of story missions. I definitely headcannon that Gangplank grabbed us the ship that would become the Avenger, and that the 3 people that we WOULD have rescued in Furies would go on to become the 3 Chosen. I love Exalt, MECs, and gene modding, and I'm sad that they're in no way represented in WOTC. MECs especially are considerably more interesting than SPARKS. Perhaps if the scrapped plans for a 4th faction of androids/cyborgs loyal to Julian were in the game I'd have felt differently. Gene Mods, OTOH, feel like a real missed opportunity, I love the idea of collecting power-ups from each alien autopsy type. Fun game. Will probably put it down for a while and do another WOTC playthrough in the not too distant future. |
2023.03.20 23:48 mdewisdelicious1 Do you think it’s too hard to move from mobile development to a embedded sw position?
Currently working on mobile apps, no degree, basic low-level programming skills.
If I’m willing to step some levels down, would it be to hard to move into de embedded software industry?
Also, is it possible to find these positions on LinkedIn? Because I think they are far scarce than mobile ones and also require much more experience (at least the ones I’ve found).
If it helps I live in Latin America.

https://imgur.com/a/QPdnh89 Ok so just got this one in a bigger trade and I already know how this is gonna go lol ::: I’ll spend like 200 bucks easy , trying to convince myself I’ll actually carry it by buying all the sweet aftermarket goodies ☠️ …. And then sell it shortly afterwards like I’ve done with 4 so far , sooooo just gonna say bye now instead of going through all that .
Ok ! This is the black dlc Cruwear and it has the factory edge on it still and appears unused as far as the blade goes . Tip is fully intact and there are no nicks, chips or rolls . Action is good as usual with these , a bit of side to side play with pivot adjusted to allow it to drop shut, but no rock and no lock stick . Purple g10 scales are in good shape , a minor scuffing near the clip . Clip has some minor wear marks . Asking 135.00 shipped USA only

2023.03.20 23:46 death_ray_mx Gideon Cosmic Rift Bug?
While I cant say if its a bug or not for sure I will present the scenario:
Whenever a Gideon cast a Cosmic Rift and dies even though the cast was made and you selected the area where it the rock will fall down nothing happens , this might be per design but I don't think this is correct I mean if everything was done properly and the cast has a small delay I don't get why it gets cancelled. This is annoying maybe in a heated fight you know for sure that you are gonna die and you try to do some damage before leaving or maybe enemy is low on health and you can take him with you but this way it wont happen.

2023.03.20 23:45 BlahSalad Entry 12
 | On Feb. 20 I heard a loud banging noise outside at 2:18 a.m. I looked on my nest cam and heard someone talking and then a car that was parked in front of my neighbors house drove off. I thought they were keying or damaging my car again so I went outside to look. While I was outside a man in a white shirt maybe mid 20's began walking down the side walk with their phone out. I believe they were recording me. I looked down the road and a female with their hood pulled over their head began walking toward the male and they joined together and began walking down the road. I have a screen shot of the car that drove off and a screen shot of the male walking down the road both from my nest cam. They're goal is to get you to kill yourself or arrested. They are working with the cops. They also get people to harass you in public to evoke an angry criminal response. It's everyday torment inside your house and out in public. submitted by BlahSalad to u/BlahSalad [link] [comments] |
2023.03.20 23:45 Th3_Shad0w_786 Non refundable deposit and reasonable costings on cancellation.
Thanks for reading this. This is in England.
I booked a wedding venue in October 22 date of wedding to be June 23. Paid 25% (£5k) of the value of the wedding upfront (£20k). Was told it was needed to secure the booking. In December 22 unfortunately my engagement ended and I informed the venue right away of cancellation.
The venue said unfortunately nothing could be done my deposit is non refundable and gone. This is according to their T&Cs. The best they can do is offer me a later date this year (Dec 23) and use half my deposit towards it whilst waiving an additional 35% cancellation fee so in total I'd be down (£12k) if I didn't accept this offer.
I refused their offer and said I will deduct reasonable costs incurred on their behalf of around £400 for booking and signing the contracts. I also dispute the validity of this non refundable deposit under consumer protection and that this cancellation fee is excessive and an unfair contract.
We did not confirm the menu. Did not confirm decor nothing. All TBC further down the line. Just initial booking to hold the venue. It was all super early in the process. From my point of view there's been minimal cost incurred on the venues part and I've given loads of notice.
They venue wouldn't budge final offer was exchange the date at any point till Feb 2025 which is useless to me. I've just come out of a broken engagement and they expect me to get married by that point is ridiculous.
At this point I began my money claim.
They reject my claim. They've put a defence together using a solicitor (I'm representing myself) full of legalese etc. Now they claim they've incurred nearly all the costs of the wedding in December 22 (less than 2 months after I've booked and over 5 months out from the event).
Things like buying food and plates (never asked for anything bespoke) I find that absurd since I cancelled so early didn't confirm any food choices or decor. In their contract it says we can confirm menu up to 1 month prior to event. Why are they buying stuff now without my confirmation and who buys meat like 6 months in advance. What if I didn't want a certain dish..
Loads of random charges like meeting with the sales manager is £500 +vat. I mean what? I could've said I didn't like the place and left. No one charges for a sales pitch..
Apparently £750 +vat meeting with a wedding coordinator, I don't get what this is for. I've not instructed them to do anything so far. Picked no colours, no stages, no lighting absolutely nothing.
There's more but I think it paints the picture. They've picked some case law that seems to give some precedence to help their defence. They also believe they're entitled to keep the money due to loss of business and turning people away. Not being able to rebook etc. It's a popular time so I find it hard to fathom. I think they can rebook it.
They're also open to mediation, I'll do it to try and resolve but again I don’t think their costings are fair at all. I'm willing to budge but not much. I'm a bit apprehensive of going to court but I think I'm entitled to a refund less reasonable costs and have tried to be fair.
I've got a few weeks to decide to proceed or not.
First time taking any sort of legal action any advice if I've got a good case + any precedent and case law that might help? Much appreciated!!

2023.03.20 23:45 CancerMoon2Caprising Mother thinks i disregard her opinions out of spite
So.....just want to say my Mother was very strict growing up, she had firm rules, expectations, and had our lives mapped out for us. My Mom can like what she likes but ive always desired different for myself. We are basically polar opposites, but she thinks i live my life out of spite as some form of "payback" for my upbringing. Shes super religious .....im not....if that sums anything up. And she thinks i live my life to rebel against her. My life is merely about my interests, not my Mom or her values.
Now my Mom has gotten into a habit of having a tantrum if i turn down her assistance or advice. I do it because its obvious we like different things and what she offers isnt relative to what my interests are, but she doesnt quite accept it. Ive tried to talk to her about it, but shes deadset on me being disrespectful or invalidating her input. For example she wanted me to be a life coach at one point, i loathe public speaking so its never been in my realm of desire. And another time she begged me to go shopping at high end boutiques when I only wanted a few makeup pencils from a store. Then threw a whole tantrum when I said no. These petty scenarios add up and shes convinced i say no just to get to her. She says I "do the opposite of whatever she wants or says". When in reality, im just doing what i like based on my own interests.
Im late 20s at this point, but honestly its a very exhausting merry-go-round that makes me want to rip my eyes out because its like she refuses to accept our differences. Ive already been in individual therapy, but im trying to see if anyone has successfully reversed this kind of toxic pattern. My Mom doesnt really listen to me when i try to explain things because her assumptions top whatever i have to say. Its like trying to reason with a brick wall. And im tired of the power moves she makes out of her bitterness of this problem. She keeps putting off family therapy. Help?

2023.03.20 23:45 8xScopee My very unfortunate and stressful trip
Last night I took about a roughly 2-3ish gram dose and I was having a great time feeling amazing euphoria, getting some of my first visuals experience. At the time I was hanging out with my two dogs like usual, 1 is a bigger sized pit and the other (which is actually my sisters dog) a small pug.
It was late about 11pm at night and the dogs had way too much energy and were playing too loudly in the house, so I started calming things down and had the pug sitting in my lap and the pit laying by my side for awhile. Well something had happened that made the pit jump up and get alerted and the pug likes to follow up with the other dogs reactions so she also jumped up out of my lap to follow up the pit. But unfortunately as the pug tried jumping off my lap, before I could catch the dog, her leg got caught and tangled in one of the openings on the chair and by the sounds her leg and cries made it woke the whole house up and possibly the neighbors.
Everyone came around me outside trying to figure out what had just happened and why the dog is crying and can’t walk on her back leg. I already have lots of issues with my stress and self confidence and communication, and how I handle it so I’m now starting freak out because of what I had just caused to this poor dog that I love so much and my family that moment. Other people are now stressing out about this back leg that’s possibly broken because of me and causing major discomfort for the dog. This started getting me so overwhelmed with what I had just done I couldn’t even talk words, all the stress got me so hot and sweaty and light headed and I got a weird unexplainable tingling/popping feeling all through my body as I’m pacing around my sisters room as her and her BF are trying to understand the situation.
Next thing I know is just nothingness. I can’t make out any of my vision and I can’t hear anything. They finally got me back up and I feel even more of my family yelling stressed out and I can barley make out any of their sounds, I just remember waking and hearing someone yelling about me falling over and to get me help. About a minute later when I regained my full consciousness I see the rest of my family is looking over me telling me to just stop and breath air.
When I was finally able to start thinking and make coherent words come out of my mouth, I could not have felt any more embarrassed and absolutely stupid as fuck. It’s been about a day now and I’m too embarrassed to even look or speak to anyone atm, I’ve just been stuck in my bed all day and I can’t get out for anything. I have things I needed to in life do but I just can’t even handle myself right now I don’t know what to do. I understand it wasn’t necessarily my fault, I didn’t make or want the dog to jump off my lap and get her leg tangled and broken in the chair, i just wanted to spend time with them. I want to do anything I can and pay whatever I can to help this dog but I don’t think my sister and her BF want anything to do with me and especially don’t want me taking any care of that dog.
I don’t even know what I’m posting this for I don’t want anything, I don’t believe it was caused all by shrooms but the shrooms surely didn’t help the stress in my situation it probably made all my feeling enhanced more. I’m just so stressed and embarrassed for the scene I caused I can’t even function properly and I don’t want anyone seeing my face anymore :/ . I tried apologizing so much that night and everyone says they understand but I know they just hate me for all that. I just don’t really have a relationship with anyone to talk to besides the people that are very upset with me and I’m embarrassed with atm, and I hope maybe speaking about it to something might help my guilt and stupidity that I feel. But for now this is just adding more reason why I just hate myself so damn much.

Is this ok or is it unacceptable that OpenAI let's this happen? Should they compensate us somehow?

 | I have over the last month now of using supply and demand gotten tons of question as to why im using supply and demand and most importantly if I will stop using them and go back to just support/ resistance. I have been day trading off supply and demand for the last month now and honestly it has been the best tweak to my strategy yet. Here is an example of just how accurate and good Supply/ Demand can be… submitted by DaddyDersch to wallstreetbets [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/wiu9u28y2zoa1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=89afd676560380de08a794776adc5ecf0f15ffae This is a micro scale using supply and demand but it just goes to show you (and this is just one of many examples) of how exact and how accurate supply/ demand can be. Why am I showing this? Well as I said over the last month now that I have used supply/ demand I have had a lot of feedback about why people don’t understands why I made the change and why I continue to use it… this right here shows the power of supply and demand on a micro scale… it is just as accurate as we have seen on a daily and weekly scale too. SPY DAILY SUPPLY AND DEMAND https://preview.redd.it/dntqpppy2zoa1.png?width=859&format=png&auto=webp&s=2eb3fe6391b632871af39fea756c358c0f7dd0a7 Taking a look at SPY supply and demand we don’t have much changed yet… the biggest thing to note is that we are in the process and closer to forming a new supply (Resistance) than we are to forming a new demand (support) for not this tells me that my upside target remains to be 405.2 versus a breakdown to 385.87. However, once a new supply is put in (SPY needs to close a red day in order to do this) then we will start looking at a breakdown back to 385.87 area. For now we remain stuck between 385.87 and 405.2 with really no direction yet.

We just have had such a volatile movement that honing in on any sort of real direction and trend has been difficult. AS of now we remain in this black bear channel. Despite the bulls losing daily 8ema support Friday they actually have retaken that support and now closed back over the daily 8ema. The biggest thing to watch here is the daily 20ema which sits at Wednesday resistance of 396.1. This is the most probable upside rejection and resistance area to watch. While today was not an inside day… it is interesting to note that the last two days of price action still remain inside of Thursdays daily range. This tells me honestly that we still do not have an actual direction. In all reality if you think about it with FOMC in two days now there is not much of a reason for markets to move bigly one way or another. Most probable unless we see a risk off move EOD tomorrow into FOMC would be to see SPY hold between 385.8 and 396.1 heading into FOMC. SPY Daily Levels: Supply- 405.17 Demand- 385.87 -> 376.67 Support- 390.9 -> 389.3 -> 385.7 Resistance- 393.8 -> 396.1 -> 397.8 FUTURES DAILY SUPPLY AND DEMAND https://preview.redd.it/3w9b62uz2zoa1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=a066aa6c49069361c9aba3452502949c03dafeb6 Now something that is very intriguing about futures daily is that it actually did establish a new demand (support) today at 3945. However, what should be strongly considered is that the supply/ demand did not fully “reset” before establishing this demand. What does that mean? Well it means while yes this demand is significant and we shouldn’t ignore it… the actual supply (Resistance) established at 3995 and demand (support) that was established at 3895 last week is much stronger and way more important. What also is even more interestingly about this is that we are still in the process of waiting for a new supply (resistance) to be established. This would much like SPY take a red day tomorrow in order to do that. If we were to get a red day tomorrow we could see a new supply (resistance) established at 3988 below previous supply (resistance) at 3995. IF that happens that shows just how strong this 3988 to 3995 supply (resistance) level is. That would to me be a good place to look for more long puts. However, there is a case to be made that if we have a green day tomorrow and we push higher than 3995 that we are going to establish a new higher supply (resistance) somewhere between 3995 and 4055. If we were to do that then I would fully expect to see a move back to 3995 supply (which would become support) and look for a new demand (Support) to be put in before we push higher again. That sort of price action of establishing a new higher supply (resistance) before coming down and taking out a previous supply (which becomes support) is extremely bullish and shows a very nice uptrend. Versus when we see a lower supply (resistance) established under previous supply (resistance) which would indicate a bear trend. This next week with JPOW speaking Wednesday for FOMC is going to be quite the turning point here… FUTURES DAILY PRICE ACTION https://preview.redd.it/97unnfd03zoa1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=06815fbd0fa6c0f2a54c45b5bc76720712faf24a Taking a look here at futures daily tells a slightly different story than that of SPY. Mostly because futures unlike SPY shows the full after hours movement. What truly is incredible is how much futures (after hours/ pre market) has been moving. We had nearly a 102 pt movement total today (that’s about 2.3% total movement). What we have here is still a overall bear trend which that bear trend would on a daily time frame be broken if we break through 3995 tomorrow. IF you remember and as is highlighted here by the black channel we have been trading within 3995 to 3888 for 9 trading days now… If the bulls are able to breakout and close over 3995 tomorrow… and JPOW doesn’t kill the market… we very well could be looking at a breakout to 4055-4095 area. However, if the bears are able to hold us under 3995 tomorrow and bring us back under 3945 there is a pretty good chance that we will see a retest of 3888 support. Honestly times like these are the hardest to trade as we have a technical based move and potential, however, that move could completely be negated by a new event (FOMC). Now there has been a lot of times where these events actually move with the technicals, however, it is too risky to take that chance. Overall here right now 3995 tomorrow is the key pivot level and key close to watch. Futures Daily Levels: Supply- 3995 -> 4055 Demand- 3946 -> 3895 Support- 3962 -> 3945 -> 3920 Resistance- 3995 -> 4020 -> 4055 VIX https://preview.redd.it/8ln5iqt03zoa1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=1c6e436af4f7ec536403250efe33842869745814 There used to be a time… before 0dte everyday and the overall detached from reality VIX… that I would take a play on SPY strictly based on what the VIX was doing and what the VIX trend was… IF I was going to take a play based on a trend of the VIX I would be in a short on Spy looking for a decently red day tomorrow on SPY… why? If you look at the last 6 trading days on VIX we have a very nice trend of big green day -> red day -> green -> red -> green -> red -> ? If the current trend continues… we would 100% see a green day on the VIX which would take markets lower. Now we might actually get that too because tomorrow is the day before FOMC and we might see risk come off and some downside hedges be put on… It also is interesting to note that the daily 8ema is still support on the VIX. I also find it interesting that the VIX rejected 28.4 today too. This would be the 4th test and rejection of 28.4 in the last 7 days… This also is the 7th day to close over 22.9 on the VIX in a row… we have not see that many days close over 22.9 since the beginning of November. As you can see much like on SPY/ Futures we are still in a massive breakout/ down triangle on the VIX too. Key support is 23.85 and resistance of 28.5. DXY https://preview.redd.it/5hlazeb13zoa1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=852832226e1ddc2f597a1d0e3b5bf7848fded141 This is now the third day in a row that we have seen the dollar drop and actually the 7th drop out of the last 9 trading days for the dollar… what is really interesting is that in general spy rises at the DXY drops and SPY drops as DXY rises… SPY has been green 4 out of the last 9 trading days… so as of now SPY and DXY do appear to be trading in sync… what also i am monitoring is that I pointed out this breakout triangle on DXY last week and said that would be very interesting to watch. I am watching now that this support has broken and DXY is selling off if we see a bigger push up on Spy… If it does we may have today with this breakdown been getting an early hint at a rally on SPY. Now of course this can all change with FOMC in two days though… 10YR YIELD https://preview.redd.it/2axpikk33zoa1.png?width=621&format=png&auto=webp&s=8112895c59d380782a6d12cde51a62b7bfe39c2d Interesting enough on the 10YR today we actually had an impressively large drop initially to 3.291% which is the lower the 10YR has hit since September 2022. Now it did have a massive recoil (as in rates went back up). So from a technical stand point… if one could actually TA the 10YR yield… this MASSIVE dragonfly doji is actually a huge reversal candle… this large wicked doji after the 2 weeks of downside should actual signify that the rate of the 10yr is going to see a large push back up. This will be interesting to watch play out too. DAILY TRADING LOG https://preview.redd.it/1kj9z3823zoa1.png?width=806&format=png&auto=webp&s=3e839e12958d70659a88f03c452c0a9fdc8f00e4 Pretty solid day here to start the week off green. I wasn’t quite able to get any bigger wins and got stopped out on the morning breakdown that hard recovered… honestly the hardest part about today was that this was one of the slowest bull trend days that I have seen in weeks. It was clearly (in the morning and after the mid day drop) bullish and was riding the EMAs. However, it was moving so beyond slow that it was tough timing the ideally entry. Today besides I believe one rogue candle though was actually one of the more smooth days we have had in a long time. We have become so accustomed to these wild reversal happy and erratic days that it was kind of refreshing to see a smoother trend day with no “surprises.” |
2023.03.20 23:45 Known_Employer 1 YEAR UPDATE: (A client wants me to quit my job and work for them full time at 150% my current compensation. Is this a perfect opportunity to start my own business or am I throwing my career down the drain?) I started my own business. And this happened.
A little over a year ago, I posted about how I was considering starting my own small business.
https://www.reddit.com/smallbusiness/comments/riqwft/a_client_wants_me_to_quit_my_job_and_work_fo
I was nervous. What if I fail to get more clients?
Guess what happened? My fears came true. For the the entire 2022, I could not get more clients and completely relied on that one client.
Before I paint an all gloomy picture, there are some wins to be proud of. For example, in just the 1st quarter, we increased sales by ~145% to $645K.
Q1 2022
By the end of 2022, we had reached and more than doubled his goal of $2M revenue. And he even reduced his operating costs to below 12%.
How we reached those goals was primarily due to restructuring the sales pipeline away from paid ads. We focused our prospecting on leads that are already warm-to-hot and partially sales-qualified. And by expanding our outreach across multiple channels from just emails and phone calls to include LinkedIn, Twitter, and even postcards. All made possible by an AI system that automates both prospecting and outreach, which I built. This is what worries me.
When I mentioned to him that I'd like to expand by business by offering that system to other clients and he really got upset. He threatened to cancel my contract, which in itself is not a problem because I can work to get new clients. The problem is that, although he has no IP claims for the software because I developed it outside of his paid time, I am afraid that he might bring a vexatious suit because he has more money to spend on lawyers than I do. He hasn't said this explicitly but the way ho got upset at my proposal got me thinking about covering all my bases.
Yes, I am still under a 1099 contract but and my compensation (minus SE taxes and health insurance costs) is more than what I was making at my old job. Nonetheless, I would like to move past being a client business.
I am thinking maybe the other option is to ask him for ownership stake in the company, no less than 50%. Is this too much? Should I even do that knowing that I possibly could make more money if I sever ties and go it fully independent.
Or should I stealthily get other clients and just wean myself away from this client softly?
THANK YOU: I also wanted to express my gratitude for the humbling feedback and support that I did get in the original post. That gave me more confidence to seek new opportunities. Although my current situation may seem prickly, I am still thankful for the opportunity and I would still make the same decision today.

2023.03.20 23:44 belltoast Is it hopeless?
Life is so genuinely hard for me, there is so much throughout the day to day that riles me up and causes me to have meltdowns multiple times a week, I feel like I'm experiencing burnout every other month. I only just started working 3 nights out of the week instead of 2 because I need to push myself to be able to get closer to having a full time job, but a full time job seems so impossible when I feel like I can barely handle 2-3 nights of work a week. I'm genuinely so scared and have entire weeks where I'm going through a constant anxiety attack because I can't stop worrying about how the fuck I'm supposed to take care of myself. It's all so hard you guys. 10+ years of various therapies only helped me to learn to mask to the point where I can hide my meltdowns to others, but things will still always agitate me so bad I end up having some sort of breakdown and have to self soothe, no matter how much I've learned to do it in private. It's exhausting, I'm so exhausted. I feel like the only way I could make it on my own is with some sort of government support like rent help, holding down a job is probably my biggest worry. But I don't think that type of support is usually given to Autistic people here in the US unless they've proven to be completely incapable of caring for themselves? And I don't think any professional would truly believe me about how much I'm struggling to live because I refuse to be completely truthful about how unstable I feel because I don't want to end up in inpatient again (terrible experience). It also seems as though in the eyes of professionals, it doesn't matter how much I struggle to do things, as long as I CAN do them, it's not a big enough struggle for it to matter. It feels like there's no other help the mental health system can offer me other than to tell me to cope and tell someone if things get worse. But if things get worse, what would they do for me? Throw me in the mental ward or tell me to go to outpatient?

2023.03.20 23:44 madziaaaaaaa Recent hospital stay, IV site still hurts
29F, 5"4 and 120 lbs. No medications, non smoker, no previous medical issued besides possible undiagnosed autoimmune disorder. Started randomly throwing up last week Monday and diarrhea to the point of clearness. Could not hold down a sip of water, ended up passing out, muscles contorting. Husband called 911 for an ambulance. They started the IV in the ambulance and it stayed with me until Wednesday night. Somewhere during Monday night an ER nurse left the tourniquet on my IV arm after taking blood. It must have stayed on there for a good 6-10 hours before it was noticed. I was too out of it to realize it while waiting 15 hours for a bed and room. When they took the IV out, they squeezed my arm super hard and I yelped. It's now been a week since I had it inserted and 5 days since it's been removed. I can't extend my arm out fully without a pulling pain. The area is tender, but not swelling. Is this pain something to worry about? Will it eventually go away?

2023.03.20 23:44 gothbias How to handle customers that are angry over prices?
TLDR at bottom. Brevity is not my strong suit.
For some background, I am a waiter at a small, locally owned business that is very new. I consider our prices to be very fair and affordable, but I’ve had two encounters with people furious over the price.
The big issue here is both times I didn’t know how to respond. My knee jerk reaction is to offer a discount but we aren’t allowed to give out discounts unless there’s something wrong with the meal or if the customer is aggressive and we’re trying to hurry them off the premises. My boss said giving out discounts to everyone complaining about price sets a precedent that we can’t afford to make and that they can see the price on the menu before ordering.
The first time a gentleman came in and asked me if it was 3.99 for a chili dog with onion, mustard, and a side of fries. I politely informed him 3.99 is for a chili dog and a side of fries and that a modification costs a little more unless a it is a condiment. He kinda sarcastically laughed and said that he always comes in here and normally spends $7 on two hot dogs with those specifications and last time he was here he spent around $8. He handed me the receipt (which listed me as his server lol) and I literally just looked at it and read it back to him, telling him it’s an additional .32 for onions. He got mad and just said “fine I just won’t get those anymore.” And then bought something far more expensive. I just replied “I’m sorry to hear that sir.” My boss was not here for this one.
Later that day, after my boss had come in, I had an issue with a couple. At risk of giving away where I work, I’ll just say the woman ordered our “specialty” hot dogs that have heavy toppings and comes with two hot dogs which is just under $7. The man bought two chili dogs and added mayo and onion. The speciality hot dogs don’t come with a side but the regular both come with a side of fries. When I informed them of this they said they realized last time they are more than satisfied with one side of fries and only wanted one. Choosing not to utilize a side does not change the price, something that’s pretty explicitly stated on the menu.
When they came up to the register (I also run register) they were very agitated that their total was $16 and some odd cents. I politely started breaking down the prices for them when the man interrupted me to say “on your menu it says you get an extra hot dog for $1.50.” I was a little baffled by this because I’ve worked here a while now and have never heard of this. I politely told him I didn’t believe that was the case but that I’d ask my boss (who was sitting at the bar like a foot away). As I turned to ask he gets loud with me and says “You should check your menu. That’s what it says. Check your menu.” I did what he said and tried my best to keep my composure as I informed him it is $1.50 for a side on the entrees, not an extra hot dog. He huffs and puffs and yells that he always gets the other hot dog for $1.50 (which I know isn’t true as that’s literally never been allowed) I finally can’t deal with him anymore and say I can’t do anything about the prices, I just work here, and my boss is sitting right there if he would like to discuss it with him. Of course he continues to berate me, throw the money at me, and leave.
In my mind $16 for four hot dogs, toppings, and fries is not bad at all, but that’s not what this is about lol. Is there a better way to handle it? My boss said I didn’t do anything wrong (and was pretty upset about how they treated me) but I just felt like I could’ve handled this better if I had an idea of how to even reply to people like this.
TLDR: I have no clue how to handle customers angry about prices. Discounts are not an option. Any tips?

2023.03.20 23:43 DaddyDersch The calm before the storm… 2 days till FOMC. 3-20-23 SPY/ ES Futures, VIX, DXY and 10YR Daily Market Analysis
 | I have over the last month now of using supply and demand gotten tons of question as to why im using supply and demand and most importantly if I will stop using them and go back to just support/ resistance. I have been day trading off supply and demand for the last month now and honestly it has been the best tweak to my strategy yet. Here is an example of just how accurate and good Supply/ Demand can be… submitted by DaddyDersch to StockMarket [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/ghu6pedr2zoa1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=a2a65e7cc093e79aafd57541b4476400afa48a40 This is a micro scale using supply and demand but it just goes to show you (and this is just one of many examples) of how exact and how accurate supply/ demand can be. Why am I showing this? Well as I said over the last month now that I have used supply/ demand I have had a lot of feedback about why people don’t understands why I made the change and why I continue to use it… this right here shows the power of supply and demand on a micro scale… it is just as accurate as we have seen on a daily and weekly scale too. SPY DAILY SUPPLY AND DEMAND https://preview.redd.it/ohefn6zr2zoa1.png?width=859&format=png&auto=webp&s=67b032bf3728e15977b5056091fc09306ee5a9bb Taking a look at SPY supply and demand we don’t have much changed yet… the biggest thing to note is that we are in the process and closer to forming a new supply (Resistance) than we are to forming a new demand (support) for not this tells me that my upside target remains to be 405.2 versus a breakdown to 385.87. However, once a new supply is put in (SPY needs to close a red day in order to do this) then we will start looking at a breakdown back to 385.87 area. For now we remain stuck between 385.87 and 405.2 with really no direction yet. SPY DAILY PRICE ACITON https://preview.redd.it/axlx17fs2zoa1.png?width=806&format=png&auto=webp&s=db373b3981eff14e74afb95add7af7dc2a32aa69 Been trying to get a better grasp on where we are going on daily price action. We just have had such a volatile movement that honing in on any sort of real direction and trend has been difficult. AS of now we remain in this black bear channel. Despite the bulls losing daily 8ema support Friday they actually have retaken that support and now closed back over the daily 8ema. The biggest thing to watch here is the daily 20ema which sits at Wednesday resistance of 396.1. This is the most probable upside rejection and resistance area to watch. While today was not an inside day… it is interesting to note that the last two days of price action still remain inside of Thursdays daily range. This tells me honestly that we still do not have an actual direction. In all reality if you think about it with FOMC in two days now there is not much of a reason for markets to move bigly one way or another. Most probable unless we see a risk off move EOD tomorrow into FOMC would be to see SPY hold between 385.8 and 396.1 heading into FOMC. SPY Daily Levels: Supply- 405.17 Demand- 385.87 -> 376.67 Support- 390.9 -> 389.3 -> 385.7 Resistance- 393.8 -> 396.1 -> 397.8 FUTURES DAILY SUPPLY AND DEMAND https://preview.redd.it/yu497tzs2zoa1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=e7e4d5bb78e3fefdeaa325143912b7dffa744864 Now something that is very intriguing about futures daily is that it actually did establish a new demand (support) today at 3945. However, what should be strongly considered is that the supply/ demand did not fully “reset” before establishing this demand. What does that mean? Well it means while yes this demand is significant and we shouldn’t ignore it… the actual supply (Resistance) established at 3995 and demand (support) that was established at 3895 last week is much stronger and way more important. What also is even more interestingly about this is that we are still in the process of waiting for a new supply (resistance) to be established. This would much like SPY take a red day tomorrow in order to do that. If we were to get a red day tomorrow we could see a new supply (resistance) established at 3988 below previous supply (resistance) at 3995. IF that happens that shows just how strong this 3988 to 3995 supply (resistance) level is. That would to me be a good place to look for more long puts. However, there is a case to be made that if we have a green day tomorrow and we push higher than 3995 that we are going to establish a new higher supply (resistance) somewhere between 3995 and 4055. If we were to do that then I would fully expect to see a move back to 3995 supply (which would become support) and look for a new demand (Support) to be put in before we push higher again. That sort of price action of establishing a new higher supply (resistance) before coming down and taking out a previous supply (which becomes support) is extremely bullish and shows a very nice uptrend. Versus when we see a lower supply (resistance) established under previous supply (resistance) which would indicate a bear trend. This next week with JPOW speaking Wednesday for FOMC is going to be quite the turning point here… FUTURES DAILY PRICE ACTION https://preview.redd.it/vsiaobit2zoa1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=cfa24576a1124d6b9ba2bdbc3f44a6708d4b97bc Taking a look here at futures daily tells a slightly different story than that of SPY. Mostly because futures unlike SPY shows the full after hours movement. What truly is incredible is how much futures (after hours/ pre market) has been moving. We had nearly a 102 pt movement total today (that’s about 2.3% total movement). What we have here is still a overall bear trend which that bear trend would on a daily time frame be broken if we break through 3995 tomorrow. IF you remember and as is highlighted here by the black channel we have been trading within 3995 to 3888 for 9 trading days now… If the bulls are able to breakout and close over 3995 tomorrow… and JPOW doesn’t kill the market… we very well could be looking at a breakout to 4055-4095 area. However, if the bears are able to hold us under 3995 tomorrow and bring us back under 3945 there is a pretty good chance that we will see a retest of 3888 support. Honestly times like these are the hardest to trade as we have a technical based move and potential, however, that move could completely be negated by a new event (FOMC). Now there has been a lot of times where these events actually move with the technicals, however, it is too risky to take that chance. Overall here right now 3995 tomorrow is the key pivot level and key close to watch. Futures Daily Levels: Supply- 3995 -> 4055 Demand- 3946 -> 3895 Support- 3962 -> 3945 -> 3920 Resistance- 3995 -> 4020 -> 4055 VIX https://preview.redd.it/8ihn5u2u2zoa1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=4788719878f85c8faabbfc10dac6aba6a5871b0f There used to be a time… before 0dte everyday and the overall detached from reality VIX… that I would take a play on SPY strictly based on what the VIX was doing and what the VIX trend was… IF I was going to take a play based on a trend of the VIX I would be in a short on Spy looking for a decently red day tomorrow on SPY… why? If you look at the last 6 trading days on VIX we have a very nice trend of big green day -> red day -> green -> red -> green -> red -> ? If the current trend continues… we would 100% see a green day on the VIX which would take markets lower. Now we might actually get that too because tomorrow is the day before FOMC and we might see risk come off and some downside hedges be put on… It also is interesting to note that the daily 8ema is still support on the VIX. I also find it interesting that the VIX rejected 28.4 today too. This would be the 4th test and rejection of 28.4 in the last 7 days… This also is the 7th day to close over 22.9 on the VIX in a row… we have not see that many days close over 22.9 since the beginning of November. As you can see much like on SPY/ Futures we are still in a massive breakout/ down triangle on the VIX too. Key support is 23.85 and resistance of 28.5. DXY https://preview.redd.it/kc80bsku2zoa1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=71719e75c3ac5ccef0a9e6c96ed8e57d1cb87537 This is now the third day in a row that we have seen the dollar drop and actually the 7th drop out of the last 9 trading days for the dollar… what is really interesting is that in general spy rises at the DXY drops and SPY drops as DXY rises… SPY has been green 4 out of the last 9 trading days… so as of now SPY and DXY do appear to be trading in sync… what also i am monitoring is that I pointed out this breakout triangle on DXY last week and said that would be very interesting to watch. I am watching now that this support has broken and DXY is selling off if we see a bigger push up on Spy… If it does we may have today with this breakdown been getting an early hint at a rally on SPY. Now of course this can all change with FOMC in two days though… 10YR YIELD https://preview.redd.it/s0uiol0v2zoa1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=ee64c8c14acf340af151d1c89517b0018150d4e1 Interesting enough on the 10YR today we actually had an impressively large drop initially to 3.291% which is the lower the 10YR has hit since September 2022. Now it did have a massive recoil (as in rates went back up). So from a technical stand point… if one could actually TA the 10YR yield… this MASSIVE dragonfly doji is actually a huge reversal candle… this large wicked doji after the 2 weeks of downside should actual signify that the rate of the 10yr is going to see a large push back up. This will be interesting to watch play out too. DAILY TRADING LOG https://preview.redd.it/c8z8pefv2zoa1.png?width=806&format=png&auto=webp&s=437f73ef89962c38bc6cbebb3cfb161f2f32884b Pretty solid day here to start the week off green. I wasn’t quite able to get any bigger wins and got stopped out on the morning breakdown that hard recovered… honestly the hardest part about today was that this was one of the slowest bull trend days that I have seen in weeks. It was clearly (in the morning and after the mid day drop) bullish and was riding the EMAs. However, it was moving so beyond slow that it was tough timing the ideally entry. Today besides I believe one rogue candle though was actually one of the more smooth days we have had in a long time. We have become so accustomed to these wild reversal happy and erratic days that it was kind of refreshing to see a smoother trend day with no “surprises.” |
2023.03.20 23:43 KelsonWonda Imagining Amanda Holiday's Mom as a guardian
I wrote this one a while ago and posted it, but since this season might see something like this come to fruition, I thought reposting it for peeps might be cool.
Workers of the Tower

New to the Roster
“That's impossible!” Marie said in response to the demand. She was frustrated because there was yet another guardian in front of her asking for yet another impossible task. She worked for the Tower Information Bureau, and sometimes the never-ending stream of questions irritated her. Taking a breath, she reminded herself to be composed and visibly calmed down before continuing. “The guardian roster doesn't just find guardians by name. It's never worked that way. You'll have to find another way of searching that name.”
“Look, we knew it was a long shot coming to you with this request, but this new light needs to put her mind at rest.” Tyra said pleadingly.
Marie was used to strange looking guardians, but this pair gave her pause. The one speaking was a tall Awoken female that was covered from head to toe in glistening plated armor. Her ragged comrade behind her sat on a ledge, content to let her friend deal with Marie. Normally, she would have to verify that they were guardians before giving them any answers, but she saw their ghosts hovering behind them, chatting in their synthetic voices.
“So you want me to check the roster for a name, no guardian codes or nothing? The program isn't designed that way. It was coded to require additional parameters.” Marie said sternly. She'd helped plenty of new lights learn to use the software. “You have to have a number to search.” She reiterated. “No results will come up without the target's personal identification number.”
“I know that, but we’re hoping you can think of a solution because we don't have an identification number, just a name.” Tyra reasoned passionately. Awoken were good at arguing dramatically in Marie's experience. “Listen, Marie,” She said, noting the name on her TIB badge. “I found this new light wandering with her ghost in the jungle far north of the tower. She’s fresh out of the grave and is just looking for some answers!” Tyra said sympathetically. Her Iron Banner pauldron clanged as she turned to point towards the sitting new light. “Isn't there something you can do!? I mean, look at her!”
Marie took the moment to really look at the guardian for the first time. She was an older woman with a rough demeanor. Her tattered gray poncho hung in tatters on her skinny body. Marie noted her ghost as well. Even it was beaten-up, its shell cracked and covered in dried mud and grime. The new light looked up from her work of polishing a rusted weapon that she clutched in callused hands. Her blondish gray hair was pulled back and tied with a red scarf, which made it easy to see her sunken eyes and emaciated visage. Their eyes locked. Her gaze seemed to pierce straight through Marie's bureaucratic authority.
Those blue eyes have seen a lot. Marie thought, even if she doesn’t remember.
The guardian stood, one hand clutching the old shotgun, the other the vinegar-smelling rag that she was using to clean it. She spoke to Marie in a gruff voice that hid a slight drawl, “I don’t know how these deals work, I’m new to these parts. Actually, I s'pose I'm just new in general. I’m just hankering to find out if there’s anyone goes by a name. Can you help me?”
Marie sighed. New lights usually encountered this problem just after being resurrected. They didn’t understand how anything worked. Working for TIB she'd helped thousands of new guardians learn the ropes. It was frustrating at times, like teaching your grandparents how to set up their new data streams. Sometimes the ghosts helped bring them up to speed, but this guardian was obviously very new to her situation.
“The roster application is very strict. It needs a guardian’s code in order to find them to send messages and such.” Marie explained again in her monotone voice that implied, 'I've said everything, I have to say.'
The human guardian swaggered up to Marie's desk, staring at her with those imposingly forlorn eyes. “They tell you that guardians wake up, not knowin’ nothin? I clawed myself out of a muddy, shallow grave and had no one there but a floating orb. No friends. No family. Just this rusted hunk of junk shotgun. I wandered in the jungle alone for days. After meetin' this here nice blue lady, I wound up in this city. I’m s'posed to work for some Vanguard and shoot aliens. I guess I’ll do what’s got to be done, but I need somethin' to help me get my footin'. A lead or a clue to who I was. That’s all I’m askin’.” She finished talking, and her downcast expression pulled at Marie’s heartstrings. She saw the frown deepen on the haggard guardian, and she felt worse. It’s a disturbing thing to empathize with, waking up and simply not knowing anything about the person she was.
Marie sighed again, but it was sadder and more organic than the first. “There are unofficial search programs for guardians that we aren't supposed to condone. They don’t require guardian identification codes. I can show you how they work, but their applications aren’t programmed in our operating system. I can use my private holopad that’s linked to the Vanguard database to access them.” She saw the guardian grin with a glimmer of hope and knew it was worth the extra effort. Marie made a mental note that going outside the regular SOPs was worth it from time to time.
Tyra patted the new light on the shoulder. “I’ll head off and put in an acquisition for a new ship while y’all start searching. My buddy Tom once said those third-party applications can take a bit of searching.” She said as she turned towards the hanger and paced away.
“I don’t think it’ll take very long. You said it was just one name, right?” Marie asked in her professional can-do tone.
Instead of answering, the guardian finished rubbing off the remaining rust on the underside of her shotgun barrel. Then she flipped it up with a flourish so that Marie could see it.
There on the barrel was a name engraved in the newly shined metal. ‘Jericho’
