Apartments for rent in newark de

I’m moving to Aberdeen for work in a couple of months and I’ve never been before, so I’ve got no clue on where to avoid and where’s best to stay in the city!
I’d be looking for reasonable priced rent and somewhere with a little outdoor space nearby so I want to avoid the more central areas.
I’ll be working at the hospital but I have a car so I wouldn’t mind a little bit of a commute.

I'm F 17. When I was 10 my grandparents moved into this apartment. The first memory I have in this apartment is opening the bathroom door and seeing a nasty roach. Fast forward five years, my mom kicks me out and I live with my grandparents. I fell into depression and was not the cleanest. Although their was a roach problem prior, I found a way to make it worse. Well I'm scared of bugs and I can't stand to hear to noise they make when you kill them. That crunchy squishy sound, yeah. Makes me cringe. So I've been letting them chill in my room and whenever they get too close to me I blow them away.
So I left a cup of gummy bears out and they eating it and shit. And I'm like you know what, you guys have been living rent free, this ain't it. They were inside the cup eating my moldy gummy bears. so I lit a piece of paper on fire and put it in the cup and watched them slowly suffocate and then burn. I genuinely think I enjoyed it and I can't let this get worse. I don't want to hurt innocent animals ( except cockroaches ) should I seek help? Can this develop into something worse? I don't enjoy them being in pain, but it's satisfying. I know I need help. Please don't judge me. I've hit rock bottom many times in my 17 years of life, and this is honestly not even the biggest issue. Does anyone else enjoy killing bugs?

As a truth seeker and spiritual person, my role as a gamer is to seek hidden knowledge and wisdom in video games and other pop cultures pieces of entertainment. TES, is a universe made by Bethesda as we all know, but the way these games are designed are completely inspired by solipsism and Gnostic philosophies in my opinion. The development of these games, start with the world design and his metaphysical rules so the world itself and is aliveness can make sense.
That’s why most objects, people and even the world is their own entity compared to others games where the world was essentially made for the player and the story. But everything in TES games have their own importance. The world Influence the people in it, like the people influence the world. The lore is apart of the world itself, the atmosphere, the design, people backstories, books, cities, objects, vegetation etc… but you are the only real soul in his construct who have complete control on your existence within these worlds which is why they are ultimately solipsist.
Even if the game world is a entity on his own, it is ultimately designed for the player experience because he is the only one to truly experience it, everything else, as much as alive as they seem, are just pawns for the player to immerse in the world.
Morrowind was also different for adding deities who are self aware of their own divinity and gnosis like the well known vivec who is aware that he dreaming his entire existence. But even after achieving CHIM, he can’t wake up from the dream, because well he still apart of the program. We are the only real living soul in these games and that’s why I feel like these games are ultimately centered about solipsism and why we have this chosen one role in each game. Feel free to share your thoughts !

I'm at a total loss here. I keep getting the same I/O error from SAB. Initially I thought it was my drives going out, so I bought a new 14tb Seagate Ironwolf to no avail; same errors.

Hi everyone, This is my first post here. I am from London.
👋🏼TL;DR: The glass wall between the kitchen and the balcony in our flat is broken, and despite multiple attempts to get it repaired, our estate agents have been unresponsive. Our landlady now wants to sell the flat, and we are considering legal action based on her responsibility for this issue outlined in our tenant agreement. We have been treated unfairly, and we are unsure who to target among the estate agents, developers, building management, insurers and the landlady.
My flat has a broken glass wall between the kitchen and the balcony. It was damaged by sun exposure last August. We have been contacting the estate agents tirelessly, asking for it to be repaired without any success. The flat used to have a beautiful view of my area, but that was spoiled. Also, my partner's little niece visits us occasionally, but since this happened, we do not allow her to play on the balcony. These are just a few examples of how it drastically affected our flat experience, especially as it is a small one-bedroom flat.
The estate agents informed us that this issue has happened in other flats in my building and that the building developers are being sued. They also told us that the apartment is insured. Nonetheless, they were waiting for the legal procedures so they could get the glass panel repaired.
They sent some contractors to measure the glass at the very beginning of this whole event, and they mentioned that because of the glass size, it would need to be lifted from our balcony as it would not fit our stairs or lift.
That was a lot of back and forth between the estate agents and us, but they always mentioned that they needed to wait to have this case sorted with the developers as the glass was faulty. They also said they had added a plastic film as a protection measure to the damaged glass (they did this quite as soon we informed them about it being damaged) so we would be safe. Nonetheless, although they say it is safe, the film has been peeling off for a long time. We also addressed this with them, but they said we were safe.
However, two weeks ago, nine months after the glass was damaged, new contractors came to the flat to measure the glass panels again. I then asked the estate agents what would be the next steps and they mentioned that they are waiting for an update from the building management company. This, combined with the fact that we have not received a renewal contract since February (we have been living here for about four years, and we have always received the renewal agreement in February as our contract always ends at the end of May), then four weeks ago they sent the new deal for us to sign, I signed it, but weirdly it was voided by DocuSign as not all the parties signed it on time. Then only last week, we received the news that the landlady wants to sell the flat. We asked the estate agents what would happen as our contract ended this Wednesday, and they said it was fine as there is a rollover law in the UK that addresses that. However, this news about putting the flat on the market came from the estate agents, and they mentioned that the landlady is still determining when she wants to give us notice, and they also said we would receive a reply this week. It is Friday, and we haven't got anything from them. Our rent was due this Wednesday, and we delayed it on purpose until now as we suspected that she would wait until we paid to tell us where she stands with selling the property. We were probably right about that, as we haven't received any updates from them, but I don't know what this should mean.
Now, as it has been so long, and it feels like they are being quick now with the glass panels only because they will be trying to sell the flat (that is our suspicion), we are thinking about taking legal procedures about our landlady, primarily because of the clause in our tenant agreement regarding her being responsible for repairing:

• The structure of the Premises and exterior (including drains, gutters and pipes);

However, we have yet to determine if we have a case and what our goal should be with it. We received a mortgage approval message from our bank today for another property, so the fact that she wants the flat back doesn't bother us, but we believe that we have been unfairly treated and should receive some compensation for it.
Also, as we have the estate agents, the developers, insurers, the building management and the landlady involved in this issue, should we only target her with it?

Have wanted to visit for a long time. One thing holding me back is I would like to have some kind of chair and/or umbrella as I am rather fair skinned.
Does anyone have recommendations for a chair or umbrella brand that is good for carry in and out? I like the idea of the backpack chairs.
I also live in an apartment so storage space is also a factor.
Even without the chair I plan to try it out. This thread makes it look so enjoyable.
Thanks for any recommendations!

Hi I just need to vent about this to someone bc lord knows I can't to anyone I know
I lost my job in January due to severe mental health problems (which I still havent been treated for! Love the nhs) and have been running on savings and student finance while trying to get a new one. However I never got my final student loan payment due to intermitting and idk if I'm just unlikeable or what but every interview has been a bust and although I've been stretching as far as I can I'm running out of money and am now living on one meal a day. I do have a wfh job but it's barely any hours a week.
See I am going back to uni in the autumn, and through this I needed to find another accomodation for next year which I did fine. However the lease starts in July, and the lease for my current accomodation ends in September. The landlord of my current accom just got back to me saying I can't end my lease early (even though I'll be moving out in July anyway bc this place sucks), and I can't push back the start of my new lease.
I can pay June's rent and I've already paid (most) of my rent for the new place in July but now I need to pull another 4 months of rent out of my ass. I have an interview on Tuesday for a job that paired with my current job with cover nearly three of those months, which isn't enough but it's a lot more manageable. Basically if I don't get this job I genuinely don't know what I will do and I don't know who to complain about this too so I came here lol
tldr: if I don't get this job I can't afford rent

Idk what happened but once I turned 22 this year I’ve become a movie fanatic. I’ve been wanting to see the ‘classic’ movies but I need to find some that fits.
The movies that I really loved watching this year were Scarface, Casino, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver (a lot of De Niro), and Godfather.
But i’ve also seen and really enjoyed non-De Niro/Pacino films like Citizen Kane, Star Wars, North by North West, and Psycho.
Other than these being somewhat basic movie choices it’s kind of what i’m going for. I feel like there’s similarity in my choices but can’t find my next film. I appreciate any support!

I am sorry if there was a post about this before or if this is not the right sub. I wans't able to find any related post or the "right" sub. I am from Korea and have been thinking to teach in Canada and just had couple of questions!!!

​
Again, I'm sorry if this is not the right place to ask! Also, sorry for the long post. My fiance and I are struggling to find direct answers to the questions above.

So, I have been working for this company for almost 3 years. The situation has been complicated from the very beginning.
A multi-national group "saved" a really small firm that was going to shut down (wasn't making any money, old employees, even older structures, a strong need of investments to update and upgrade) because they needed its service. They placed as the owner a figurehead that was a close friend of a top manager from the multinational itself.Sadly, this top manager fell ill shortly after interviewing me for a PM role and passed away 4 months after I started working there. This happened in 2020, during COVID. Relevant: the firm is based in Italy, while the multinational seat is in Germany and both the manager and his figurehead friend are German. The figurehead doesn't speak Italian or English nor he knows Italian norm on safety, taxation, entrepreneurial responsibility etc. He hasn't done any effort in the past 4 years to become informed on these subjects.
The multinational never named someone from them who had to be responsible for the development of the firm upon the first top manager's death (when I arrived the figurehead didn't even pay suppliers, with suppliers cutting off deliveries, because he didn't know how to use the banking app) and I tried my best to follow through with the plan that the deceased manager left behind, but as the figurehead didn't want to spend its own money for investments the firm remained kind of stuck. Now the multinational is starting to understand that this figurehead can't be trusted and realized he has no idea what he is doing. They called me and told me their plan is to sweep him aside and name someone reliable, but haven't given me a date yet. They said "it will happen soon", but as legally he is the only owner of the firm I don't know how they plan to do it.
My issue is that while they decide what to do I have to undergo weekly remote meetings during which I am harassed by the figurehead who asks me to do things that would be detrimental to the firm (even as far as breaking the law). I suppose he will also come personally in the upcoming two weeks.. I am refusing to do what can't be legally done, which is obviously pissing him off. The idea of seeing him in person is now almost making me having a panic attack, due to the fact that he can be verbally abusive.
He is also pissed because I am not following through with other ideas of his because I simply don't have the time to do it. I have been operatively running the firm for the past 3 years, coordinating everything apart from production planning. I handle administration-safety-sales&business development-quality management-purchases. I have been feeling like I spend my working life handling emergencies, while having an idiot harassing me because the firm isn't generating enough money for him to get. When I told him I don't have the time to revise all our quality processes and change their format in order to upload them to his database he said that if I don't find the time to do what he wants he will shut the firm down for one or two weeks until I am done, forcing holidays on all other employees. What should I do? Wait, clench my teeth and hope finally he gets wiped off or tell him I have +2 months of holidays I never got to make and look for another job while seeing the firm collapse under his utter stupidity?

We had a very short term and quickly escalating relationship of love bombing (I love bombed just as hard TBH). We were talking about moving into an apartment together, what our future house would look like, pets, etc. He said he wanted to be my life partner, lots of stuff that was obviously future faking and saying things he knew I wanted to hear.
But the weird part was that he surprised me with tickets to things or actually spent money on things for the future. He bought us tickets to an event that was in May, but he started devaluing me and I broke up with him in April we didn't get to go. He also got us tickets for a music festival in June. A week before our breakup he came home all excited with an air fryer for me that I had been talking about, so that we could cook meals together.
These were all very thoughtful gifts that I had talked to him a lot about. Of course, a lot would say he could just take someone else to the events and use the tickets but I'm not so sure -- the event he bought a ticket for was very niche/personalized to my interests, and the music festival requires travel/pretty unique too so it's not just things you could invite another date to on a whim.
He seemed to be a pretty impulsive person so maybe he just bought all these things in the moment when he was actually feeling good about us/not considering long-term. But it was odd to me because I've definitely had other people I've dated future fake and make grand promises, but never waste their money just to create the illusion of commitment. He is in grad school and living off of student loans/side gigs at the moment, so he was pretty pressed for cash and we split things 50/50 mostly but sometimes he would splurge on these gifts to win me over it seemed like. I think he felt insecure because I have a full-time job and have been supporting myself for a while so maybe buying things was part of the love-bombing or trying to show he can provide too.
Has anyone else experienced this? I'm just confused why they would spend money on gifts if they knew they were not going to be with you much longer.

Hi everyone,
I'm moving to Indore at the end of this month and I'm looking for a 1 BHK home or apartment for rent. I'd prefer to be within 1 hour of Vijay Nagar.
It will be my first time in Indore. So, If anyone has any tips or suggestions for finding a place, I would really appreciate it!

Part 1
​
Never trust someone who can easily get themselves out of danger to protect you from it.
​
​
August 14, 2052, freshwater sources have been depleted in the Middle East. Scientists are working to find a solution amidst rising acid levels in the ocean.
​
​
"What are you looking at?"
​
​
Carlo stared up from his phone. Jerell was rummaging through the pantry for something to fix and settled on some instant pancake mix.
​
​
“Just some more news. Shit’s bad across the globe.”
​
“Yeah, there’s no getting away from it unless you’re like Glen Dalton.”
​
​
Carlo sneered.
​
​
“That greedy piece of shit. You know, the other day I read that he and some other rich fucks were designing something so that they could escape the climate crisis.”
​
“Who said that?”
​
​
Jerell put their iron skillet on the stove and turned on the heat.
​
​
“A most likely now former employee of his, but his pr team must be monitoring things twenty-four-seven. The post was taken down within minutes. Luckily, I thought to get a screengrab of it.”
​
“So what are they coming up with then? Underground bunkers?”
​
“Could be, the poster said they were eavesdropping on some meetings.”
​
​
Jerell put some mix in a bowl along with cold water and stirred as Carlo went on.
​
​
“I’ll never understand the mentality. How can they think spending the rest of their lives cooped up won’t make them insane?”
​
“Ego?”
​
“Yeah, probably. I’ve also heard that Chipotle has been closing down stores in what they refer to as nonprofitable areas.”
​
“So in other words, high crime?”
​
​
Carlo chuckled. Jerell put some batter on the skillet.
​
​
“Our location might not be far off. Maybe we should start job hunting.”
​
“Where? If they’re shutting down that means other businesses will be too.”
​
“Well, that’s another bridge to cross then. Maybe all of us should see about getting transferred.”
​
​
They had their pancakes drizzled in syrup with some cups of black coffee. When they were through eating, they brushed their teeth and then went out to the bus stop. During the ride, which was packed they had to listen to people ramble on about gas prices.
​
​
“The whole world’s gone to shit and that’s still all people seem to care about,” Carlo thought with an eye roll.
​
​
He exchanged a glance with Jerell who judging by his expression was thinking something similar. Not much had changed in the past two years other than their workload. On the plus side, they’d been making some traction with their music. It was slow, but progress nonetheless. The same could be said about Mona’s writing as well as Irene’s art.
​
​
When they reached the store, they found Mona sleeping at the back desk with her head over some papers.
​
​
“Did she spend all night here?” Jerell asked.
​
“Looks like it.”
​
​
Carlo lightly shook her shoulder. She gasped and sat up.
​
​
“Oh fuck,” she groaned, “what time is it?”
​
“A few hours until we open,” Carlo informed her.
​
​
She rubbed her temples, then opened a desk drawer, containing a Five Hour Energy. She cracked it open and downed it.
​
​
“What were you working on?” Jerell asked.
​
“Some paperwork Fred was supposed to do.”
​
“He coming in?”
​
“No, he’s on vacation, again.”
​
​
They had their work cut out for them. Irene arrived as they were about to open. The day went as usual, being busy yet monotonous. Something rare then occurred. The store slowed down. In fact, there were no customers.
​
​
“Okay, does anyone else feel freaked out right now?” Carlo asked.
​
“It is weird,” Mona agreed, “but we should just be thankful for it. By the way, I was wanting to talk to you all about something.”
​
​
When she had their attention, she went on.
​
​
“I was wondering if any of you wanted to collab?”
​
​
Jereall answered.
​
​
“I mean, we’d love to. How exactly would this work, though? I mean, me and Carlo are on music, Irene has her art, and you have your stories.”
​
“Well, I was thinking maybe I could give you guys a story to write some lyrics about, and then Irene can make some background art.”
​
​
Irene spoke up.
​
​
“I’d be up for it, but where would we find the time to put this all together?”
​
“I say we brainstorm now, then we can each work on our own parts and eventually put it all together.”
​
​
They agreed and the impromptu session began. The genre they decided on was a mix of dark fantasy and horror. They knew that they needed to get it done whatever they were making before their enthusiasm wore out. Mona would be the first to work on it, making her story. After that, she’d present it to the others so that art and a song could be made of it.
​
​
Elsewhere, trouble was brewing. Glen Dalton was not having a good day. During the past two years, he’d been having trouble quelling his workers. Sure, bribing politicians was easy enough, and so was convincing the general population of his greatness. However, getting people who were working under him to see the same view was more challenging.
​
​
Why was it so hard for them to fall in line? He’d provided jobs for them which was more than most people got these days. Not to mention, he always made sure they had long hours so they could afford to pay their expenses. Nobody was grateful. His parents worked hard to establish their empire and when it fell to him he was smart enough to hire people to help him manage.
​
​
What followed was supposed to be him enjoying his life. Instead, there was hardly anywhere he could go without encountering the parasites, be it his ingrate employees or the shoe kissers. At least he wouldn’t need to worry about dealing with them for too much longer, according to his hired researchers. In public, their opinion was the actions of his businesses and the climate crisis were in no way related. In private, they were constantly messaging him that the planet would in all likelihood not be fit for human life maybe even sooner than they were able to predict.
​
​
This had been the case for a while. Therefore, he hired engineers to work on a means of him escaping the coming disaster. It was something he intended to keep under wraps if not for one of his ex-employees. Although his social media monitors took it down almost immediately, many saw it, and the damage was done. It wasn’t his fans turning on him that he was worried about.
​
​
He knew that no matter what he did he would always have their loyalty. Rather, the more pressing concern was that the information would cause his opposers to throw caution to the wind and try to take him out along with his associates. Despite this, he was confident his people would finish things before everything reached a boiling point. For the first time that day, he allowed himself to smile. In his experience, patience paid off.
​
​
In the coming months, things would get far worse than anyone could’ve foreseen. While a lot of this could be attributed to the Dalton factories releasing gases into the air, it wasn’t something people needed to concern themselves with. No, they were more worried about who wanted to marry who or how someone chose to present themselves. Obviously, these things were far more important than the habitability of the Earth. People tended to have this ability to ignore an issue even as it stared them in the face.
​
​
However, some were fully aware of what was to come and no matter how hard they tried to get others to see it, they just wouldn’t. Others knew this was fruitless and so instead chose to prioritize their quality of life over quantity, what little they had to work with. The group that was especially good at this were artists. The reason being they possessed the unique ability to turn pain into drive. Such was the case for Mona and the others.
​
​
The project was slow to come together. When it did, it turned out better than they imagined. Mona’s story was set in another world full of gods and monsters. Someone tried to rebel against them and failed. Their punishment was an endless loop. They were sent to the deepest darkest part of the world.
​
​
Climbing out of it was possible. Unfortunately, every time they reached the top a monster controlled by the gods knocked them back down. Carlo and Jerell wrote lyrics detailing the rebel's pain, not only physical as the skin peeled to the bone with each climb but also mental of coming so close to freedom only to have it snatched away. Lastly, Irene painted the rebel on their back, haven fallen yet again and reaching a scabbed and bloodied arm toward the light. When it was all put together, they uploaded it where they could.
​
​
The reception for it was better than they expected. While there were some who did not care for it, others praised the creativity of the music and art. Mona saw more comments on her story from people who read it because of the song. It was the first and last major thing any of them would accomplish. They were okay with that.
​
​
Within the next year, things truly fell apart between natural disasters and scarcity. As mentioned, Glen Dalton had a means of escape and now was the time to use it. He was riding in his private jet. Every so often, he would glance out the window, seeing the fires of retaliation both figuratively and literally speaking. It took a while, but even his most loyal fans turned on him in the final moments, not that it mattered.
​
​
On remote islands, he and others had something worked on, ships to be exact, paid for generously with government funding. Of course, that meant he’d have to rub elbows more often with people he didn’t care for. That was a small price to pay, though. When he arrived, others were also there. It wouldn’t be long before the launch would commence.
​
​
Elsewhere, it wouldn’t be long before the rest of humanity would have to spend their final days. Most chose to do this with family and friends. Others, elected to have solitude. Mona and the others chose to spend their time left with each other and their families. They decided if they were going to go out anyway it may as well be on a happy note and so they gathered what little they possessed and threw a celebration.
​
​
The air was heavy with fumes as the rockets launched. Mona and the others were at Irene’s home, sitting together. Whatever differences divided people finally didn’t seem to matter.
​
​
​
“I don’t think it’ll be much longer,” Mona wheezed.
​
​
The end was a frightening thing and drugs helped. Among them was a bong which she took another hit from. She passed it to Carlo who lit it.
​
​
“People really enjoyed what we did,” Jerell smiled.
​
“Yeah, I just wish we could’ve done it sooner,” Irene replied.
​
“Better late than never,” Carlo said after blowing a cloud of smoke. “Still, it would’ve been nice if we had time to make something else. Can someone hand me the chips?”
​
​
With them were also snacks. The goal was to finish as much as they could.
​
​
“It’s a shame,” Carlo continued. “There’s a lot of places I wish I could’ve gone.”
​
“Jamaica?” Jerell suggested.
​
“That’s one. What about you?”
​
“I always wanted to see Japan.”
​
“Rome for me,” Irene interjected. “What about you, Mona?”
​
“The ocean.”
​
​
They were losing strength. In an effect similar to hypothermia, their minds were elsewhere. They passed away only hours later along with their families. Each one of them smiled as their imaginations made them experience their hearts’ desires. They were able to go happily. It would not be long until no living life would remain on the planet.
​
Glen Dalton and the other elites were in stasis as their ships were drifting through space. Before going into their slumbers, the ships connected to each other to form a moving city. It was powered through several means, mainly solar. Failing that, kinetic energy would also work for a while. The plan was to travel to an Earth-like planet and establish a new society. In order to manage everything, several AIs were created.
​
​
As tends to happen, however, things rarely go according to plan.

Author's Note: Finally, I'm able to get this next part out. I won't lie.
