2023.06.01 07:27 Feeling-Culture-239 Should I edit my Glassdoor review after my former boss replied?
I posted a somewhat negative review of my former job on Glassdoor, where I worked for almost 2 years. Risky move, I know, but I had to submit a review to view anything on Glassdoor, and I wanted to be potentially helpful to future applicants.
The president of the company (my former direct boss) replied in the style of "thanks for your review, but here's a list of how everything in your review is wrong." And now I'm wondering if his response warrants a clarification or if I should just let it go.
One of the downsides that I wrote about was that my boss micromanaged in a way that made lots more work for me. My boss's reply was that I was not getting the results he expected due to my lack of experience, so he had to get involved. He claimed that I was "fresh out of college with little industry experience." In fact, I was about a year out of my PhD (8 years out of college) with over 10 years of research experience, though in a different industry. It feels weirdly petty that he implied that I was a clueless 22-year-old, especially since he wouldn't let you forget that he has a PhD too. He also claimed that the micromanaging stopped as I gained experience, but that was not true.
To be fair to my former boss, there was one point in my review where I could have been clearer. One time, there were nebulous plans about us traveling to an army base for a presentation (we were government contractors). After months of not knowing any concrete plans, I learned that the travel date was only two weeks away and that my boss had known the plans for a while. The lack of communication and respect for my time was the final straw that made me start applying for new jobs. In my review, I failed to clarify that I didn't actually travel (as I'd already had plans to be out of town). But, for me, it was bad enough that my boss had the travel information and didn't bother to tell me until I happened upon it later on. He clearly disagreed, as he asserted in his reply that he respected my decision not to go and worked around me.
Anyway, I'm not sure if my former boss succeeded in discrediting me (and my review) or if he just came off as an asshole in his reply.
I understand that this bridge has been burned (he disconnected with me on LinkedIn lolol), but I'm wondering if it's worth it to rewrite my review to clarify some points, especially that I'm not an unskilled child whose opinion can't be taken seriously. As flawed as Glassdoor is, I want my contributions to be helpful for applicants/prospective employees.

2023.06.01 07:26 natschocheezy How do i (27f) ask my husband (28m) to move out of his parents' house without being too naggy?
A few months ago I dropped everything I had (my job, my dogs, my family) to move abroad and married my husband. We've been together for about 7 years before and met when I was studying overseas.
My husband is an only child & had never lived on his own. Before we got married, I made it very clear to him that I do not wish to live with the in-laws. I feel that as a young family, we need to figure things out and have our space. He agreed.
Little did I know, he's currently paying for the house his parents live in and it's a little tight to move out. I wished I could help, but I haven't had any luck finding a new job in a new country.
His parents are okay, I just found my MIL frustrating because she criticized the way I do things around the house. I have no space to put my stuff away, and they all ended up behind the door. She complained that I was messy. She doesn't like to cook (again, because it's messy) nor likes it when I cook. We eat out all the time and it's messing up my metabolism. She 'mocked' me for asking my husband to wash the dishes (we agreed on splitting chores) because apparently "I was there to wash dishes for him".
There's also almost no privacy, my MIL follows us out almost all the time, or barged into his workroom when we're having a conversation, only to "mock" me or cut our (private) conversation.
I only have one friend here who's moving abroad in two months for a job. I am currently unemployed & I have no car to get out of the house when it's too much, and the house is a bit far out so it's as difficult to access public transport. I miss my home, I really wanted to go back but I don't want to give my in-laws the wrong impression.
I tried telling my husband about my frustration, but either he shuts down completely or said the same thing about being tight financially & can't afford to move out.
Does anyone ever felt this way? How do you deal with living with your in-laws, or even convince your SO to move out?
TL;DR I (27f) dropped everything I had in my home country to move abroad and be with my husband (28m). We are currently living with his parents and I'm losing my mind. I'm so frustrated and so lonely. Just wanted to ask for any advise or words of encourgament I guess...

2023.06.01 07:26 TheMedsPeds Am I overacting or is it total BS that I’m expected to be on call 24/7?
So about a month ago, I took a job as a personal care attendant supervisor for old and disabled people. I’ve done this kind of work before, so I knew going in that part of being a supervisor would include “On Call”which would basically be responding to emergencies after hours. During the interview I asked how the on-call work, the person who interviewed me, the owner, insisted that on-call rotates, which I agreed with. No biggie.
Turns out there are other problems with the place: the company basically it’s a shit show, people calling in left and right, people clocking in and leaving, no actual schedule, condescending mean boss who’s not only mean, but incompetent, she’s the changing the rules left and right, then denying they ever were the way the straw that broke the camels back for me is on-call.
I’ve worked this kind of job before and with round the clock care and clients that can’t be left alone, a manager needs to be on-call 24/7, which is fine, but my previous company rotated it.
During office hours, you dealt with your own clients emergencies. After hours the person on call does. Sure if that person had a case they didn’t know much about, you could help, but it was by phone. And that was supposed to be more of a courtesy, not a requirement. Didn’t matter who’s case it was. If a staff no call no showed and you couldn’t find coverage last minute, the on call person covered the shift.
But not here. While I was told in the interview it rotates. I learn now, the only thing that rotates is the actual phone. The company is “too big” for anyone person to handle emegencies. So if someone gets a call and it’s not their clients emergency, the correct case manager is called and helps handle it. Okay, fine. Here’s the thing, if someone actually has to report in person to cover a shift. It’s not the person on call but whoever the case belongs too. So even if I’m not on all. If the Saturday night overnight staff doesn’t show up, the person who the case belongs to has to go. And if they refuse. The person on shift who leaves still gets in trouble but we could catch a whole neglect charge because those clients aren’t supposed to be left alone.
I think that’s dogshit. Because that means at any moment I can get a call, have to drop what I’m doing and cover a shift NO MATTER WHAT!
When I brought this up to my manager she said “well find e coverage and you won’t have to go. And “yeah but we barely have 24 hour clients”
Oh yeah? Well I’ve been here a month and already had to work a 12 hour shift, it wasn’t on the spot and it happened to be during my first on-call rotation. Long story short, a time off request fell through the cracks.
But anway, I want to fucking quit. Being on call is no fun, but I can handle 1 out of every 4 weeks but not 24/7. It doesn’t matter if it happens once a year. It COULD happen at any point. Which makes me feel like I’m never truly off. Especially with the turn over rate at this place. These workers make $9-$12 an hour. They dgaf, they the place is short staffed and unorganized. So they know if they do no call no show, if they know a handful of clients, turn their paperwork in and do a good job, nothing will happen other than maybe some rudeness from one of us.
This is no way to fucking live. I can’t leave town to go see my family/friends (which I do once or twice a month, I moved to this city a year or two ago so all my people live about an hour a half away) no vacations, no drinking, no anything that would inhibit me from our hour window of being able to report to whatever clients house. Hell sleeping can be stressful because I could a call at 3 AM from an overnight staff deciding to leave for whatever reason. You couldn’t tack a couple of 0’s on my salary for me to agree to that. Sure is shit not cool with making 55k a year doing that.
Is this that unreasonable though? Some say, that’s a pretty intense reaction because someone MIGHT call out one night and you’d have to go. But to me, that’s just fucking huge abs I want the fuck away from this place. If the cost of living wasn’t so high and I know I could get another job making at least $25 an hour, I’d put my notice in tomorrow. But unfortunately that’s not an option for me.

This question probably has been answered and if I am another low brow web sleuth who can't find the answer. but is it totally impossible to take this laptop out of hybrid mode? I've heard suggestions hooking it up to another display. did that, and had zero effect. I have tried disabling the integrated graphics mode with in the device manager. This also had no effect on my plight what so ever.
I will admit I do not understand what UMA is but if I'm lead to believe that is what is sapping my 2GB of my 16GB ram. Leaving me with a total of 13.9 some odd gigs of ram. Yes i know i should have enough ram. But this PC has a damned dedicated video card. it doesn't need the integrated video. its barely been used. I only picked this thing up for school, work, and when my job sends me to another city for work so that I would have a competent gaming machine play games at 1080p and not struggle.
any suggestions in ridding me of the integrated graphics? the Nvidia suggestion only tells the applications to use a graphics card. the settings in vantage for hybrid mode are not there. the bios is basic at best. any tips and or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am frustrated and at my wits end. Thank you in advance for any enlightening answers.

2023.06.01 07:25 hdstthj Didn't report income change to Medi-Cal. Will I have to pay for the medical treatment I received?
Made basically no money in 2022 and got Medi-Cal. Forgot to report income change with a new job and thought I had coverage until open enrollment. Letters requesting info said they would terminate my benefits if I didn't send proof by a certain date. But my coverage kept being renewed and I used it for a monthly medical visit. Got another job and reported that change. I'm using my employer-sponsored insurance now but I checked and my coverage is still active. Will I have to pay for the appointments I had during that time? How do I cancel my coverage?

2023.06.01 07:25 NegativePast3826 I (18F) don't know what to do with my relationship with my best friend (18F) as we enter university. HELP!?
Hey everyone!
I'm not sure if this is the right subreddit for this but I wanted some advice on a situation with a friend.
So background context:
I (18F) am entering university this September, and am feeling pretty conflicted about my relationship with my best friend (18F) and I don't know how to handle it. Initially, I assumed she would be going to another university, so we could just drift apart and I could maintain a casual relationship with her. However, it appears to be that we'll be going to the same university, for the same program. This program only has about 200 students, so likely our classes will be the same, and so will our social circle. Currently, we're in a program with 60 students for high school and taking all the same courses and classes. Many of our clubs and ecs also overlap. So I basically am with her all day, everyday at the moment.
The issue: Before this friend, I used to be super social and had a lot of friends. Previously, I would hang out with a bunch of different groups, and if I ever felt like the conversation was boring or making me uncomfortable I would walk off from the conversation and wander to another group (essentially I was a floater). Typically, groups wouldn't be bothered by me walking off. Within the past few years, I have become more introverted. Thus, I'm more comfortable taking time away to be alone. However, while I now know being around people drains me and makes me feel tired, I do still enjoy it quite a lot. While I have become more introverted over the past few years. However, this friend is a lot more clingy. At the start of our friendship, when I would try to float off, she would trail me essentially, not letting me leave. Since she didn't really know most of the other friends on the same level, it made it difficult for me to go hang out with these other friends on my own (during the pandemic, so the only social interactions are for a half hour at lunch or the end of the day). I remember vividly once, I tried to walk off, and she latched onto the hook thing on my backpack so she wouldn't lose me in the crowd. I started to slowly feel trapped from this point forward. Even if I wanted to wander off just to be alone and go study, it became really difficult because she stuck so close to me. If I wanted to go to a club meeting, or anything, I more or less had to inform her. It feels like getting permission most of the time, and even then she tends to tag along. I understand that her intentions aren't bad, but I really just want to be left alone. I'm quite accustomed to my floating, and it gave me a sense of control.
Additionally, I had a massive fallout with my previous friend-group. It was a while back in 2017, however, it's taken me a long time to recover from that. Floating allowed me to maintain relationships without rushing into anything when I hadn't healed from my previous friend-group. I feel like her clinging on…I ended up in a friendship that I wasn't emotionally ready for, nor healed enough to handle.
Eventually, because she didn't want to hang out with other people - she's quite antisocial in nature - I would feel pressured to hang out with only her. Our high school cohort is about 60 students, so eventually people started to associate the two of us as a pair and would make remarks if I didn't hang out with her which furthered my isolation. Even when we do have moments with other groups, if she feels bored, or that they're wasting her time, I can almost feel the upsetness radiating off of her. I don't mind that they're wasting time and doing things slowly, it's a fun experience. Or at least it used to be…now all I feel is the wave of upsetness which keeps me from enjoying the whole thing. I feel like I have to leave because she wants to leave and that's the only way to appease her.
Additionally, she's very pessimistic/ cynical and egoistic. She often looks down on others and believes she is the best at everything. While I agree that she is very competent and capable, the way she expresses this makes me feel uncomfortable. She expresses it quite directly with me, however, I think other people can tell she feels that way based on the way she acts as well. As a result, people I used to be super close with have grown distant from me because it's clear she looks down on them. (Once again, I'm sure that other factors such as not talking to them as much as mentioned above contributes too, but her influence is on a level I can't control. This makes me spiral because I feel like I have no control over everything and I can't hold onto anything). I feel like I can't call her out because she'd refuse to accept it and I'd have to persuade her why she's wrong, rather than just having her accept it. I strugle to remember exact incidents unless I document it like this, and often just have the general idea of what's wrong.
Also comments like "You're being mean, or you've hurt their feelings" are often met with "So what? I don't care", the issue is I care. I don't like hurting people, and would rather try to fix things if I've made mistakes. I also don't like what that says about her. One day - such as the day I bring this up - if our friendship is over, will that be her response too? She won't try to be a good friend or good person, but will kinda go fuck all of it and hurt me without an ounce of remorse. I try to tell myself that different people have different perspectives, and I am not always right. However, no matter how hard I try, I just…I can't understand this at all, and it infuriates me.
Contrarily to her pessimism - as my mother is quite a pessimistic person - I have spent years working on maintaining my optimism, and trying really hard to be a good person. Obviously, she is not to blame for my mother's behavior. However, between the two of them, and because I'm around her all the time, I feel like I'm becoming more similar to her in this sense, and I hate myself for it. Of course, she's allowed to be cynical. I'm not saying being optimistic is always the right thing. There are many pitfalls, such as being naive, and getting hurt. Thus, I understand that being optimistic to the extent that I like to be, isn't for everyone. However, I hate how it's affecting me, and that it's around me all the time. I do appreciate our friendship, but I think this is one of our core differences that makes us incompatible
While I'm not soft-spoken, and will stand up for what I believe in, I try to avoid unnecessary conflict, and prefer to take a people-friendly approach. My friend is much more aggressive and often "rocks the boat" in group projects and friendships. This leaves me in a situation where I feel like I have to pick up the pieces to make amends because my own friendships are at risk. Additionally, even if I do agree with her point, I find it more difficult to solve problems (especially project wise) in the typical manner that I would. I can be more willing to find a compromise and handle it with less of a mess. It also makes me very, very anxious, and I hate it so much. We talked about it once and she said she knows it makes me anxious too, which makes it worse because she's still not willing to change, similar to the point about hurting others feelings. Another ex-bestfriend (18M) previously mentioned that it's technically not my responsibility, but I feel like people view her actions and feelings about things as similar to my own, which screws over my relationships.
Furthermore, she burned the bridge between her and the previously mentioned other best friend (18M), and tried to blame it on her not liking how he treated her. This also upset me, because I didn't ask for that. I also felt like because she had so much input on why my friendship with him was lacking, my pre-existing insecurities amplified. I realized wayy too late as to how unfair I had been. We had pre-existing expectations in our friendship for a number of years, and I suddenly went that's not enough. Our friendship was different and didn't tick every box, but that doesn't mean it was wrong? We both were happy, and that's what mattered. I realized at this point that I couldn't express that to her. Getting her to back off was difficult, and I started to feel scared of her to some extent. I was scared to talk to her (which surprised him, as it was atypical of me to be like this in any situation). Looking back, this was another clear red flag. Just the idea that I felt the need to shut myself down and not express myself is worrisome. (This male friend and I no longer speak for a number of reasons).
She's also known for crossing over boundaries, which caused one of my core friend groups to stop talking to her last year (and as a result of this and my ex-best friend (M18) being in this grp, I've also grown severely distant). While I can't blame the distance completely on her, I would have done my best to maintain one specific friend (F18) in the group if it hadn't been for other conflict she had with this friend. This event also caused me to realize how differently we often approach issues. She was quick to push the blame off herself. Typically, I tend to pull as much of the blame on myself as possible (also not healthy, I know M18 told me so), or if I do feel defensive. I try to apologize in the moment, sincerely. And I tend to reflect back often. I know that within the next few months, the heat of feeling accused will die down, and I'll be able to truly feel remorse from my actions and learn from them.
However, this crossing over of normal boundaries is also applicable to me. Often, we have to do what she wants if she's decided she wants to do something, regardless of what I want. While this is never directly stated, I always feel anxious to go against her and express that I'd like something else. Typically, I'm not like that with other people. The only way for me to disagree and say I'd like to do something else is to get on her level of pushy / aggressive, which I also find to be mean. I don't want to act like that. I also find it quite suffocating to express what I want because she's so pushy about what she wants.
This is further exacerbated by her parents. Her father in particular is very similarly pushy and has no regard for my boundaries. Last year when we went on a trip with both families to the Aquarium, they both made decisions about what we would be doing without me. My mom's quite sick and one of the activities (a visit to the beach) would cause her symptoms to appear. I tend to do most of the planning in our house and often have to be careful to take into account my family members' conditions in this sense. However, this impromptu decision to visit the beach got me in quite a bit of trouble with my parents, as they felt I wasn't being considerate of them. This made me feel really frustrated and trapped between everything. Additionally, my friend knows of my mom's condition. While I don't expect her to take that into account when making the decision, she should have informed me or had her dad inform my parents, and allowed for a conjoint decision. I also just didn't want to go to the beach - I was really tired at this point - but obviously (brown kid) I can't say that in front of her parents and argue.
Similar things happen for other decisions such as when we go out for other activities as well. Such as when we first became friends, often she and our other friend would want to go on walks outside (whereas I would much rather do anything else). I remember early on expressing that I didn't want to but they could go. Likely because my boundaries were ignored then and overstepped, I don't feel safe expressing that I don't want to do what she wants. And I know she won't take no for an answer through those experiences. So naturally, instead of going back and forth in an argument so I can not do what I don't like, I just am left to silently resign.
Additionally, we're both pre-med students, which creates a lot of competition. I do my best to find many extracurricular opportunities and scholarship opportunities (especially since I'm a first-generation student and my parents are unable to support me in ways that are not financial support due to various reasons). About a year after we first became friends - we've been friends for 3 years, since grade 10 - she and another girl who we were close with at the time, reached out to form a club behind my back. I know this probably sounds very foolish, but up till this point, I had shared the majority of extracurricular activities I had researched online. Additionally, I had founded a club a few months prior with both girls (we were all co-presidents), since they expressed interest after I had founded another club with another friend group. They had no intention to tell me that they were starting this new initiative. I had reached out to the organization to inquiry about stating a chapter for the three of us together and found out about it. It really bothered me and made me feel like I was being taken advantage of. When I expressed this at first, both girls shut down and got defensive. Neither was willing to admit they were wrong, and just tried to fight me. I am their friend? I was rightfully upset, shouldn't you at least apologize and show some remorse?
It should be noted that some months later, I expressed just how upset I was to the best that I could to both girls and we talked about it and came to an understanding. While the issue was resolved, I still think it's important context.
Now once again, this competition is further exacerbated by her dad once again. This year, I had compiled a database of scholarships. During a conversation, her dad had mentioned that we needed to be on top of things this year, such as scholarships. It had rubbed me the wrong way, so I had stood up for myself and mentioned we had a database of scholarships as a way to prove I was on top of things (I get told by my parents that I should work harder a lot, and it makes me upset because I'm really working my ass off). However, this prompted him at first to push my friend to show him this database and scholarship information. And as a result she became really pushy with me. Initially, I ignored her hoping it would go away. After all, I had saved her imo by telling him she was prepared which was a lie. She could have compiled something in the meantime to make up for it instead of bothering me about it so many times. She made me feel like I had to give it to her, that she was entitled to it. About a month in from this, he called me while I was at home, and spoke to me in...I don't even know how to describe it, but it was a pretty manipulative tone to get me to hand it over. I ended up handing over a couple of simpler ones I had (because I had spent hours researching those scholarships, and the information is also available to her on the internet, it just wasn't fair).
Plus, after the prior issue with the club, I assumed there wouldn't be anything like this. Exchanging homework was alright because it was quite evenly balanced, and often it was balanced our quite quickly due to the nature of school. However, this wasn't something she could pay me back for, and left me feeling used again. I know I was quite nice back then and helped people out a lot, but I hate being taken advantage of and treated like that. I also feel like it's just a shitty show of the other person's character.
I know that in this case, she knows her dad is in the wrong and tried to stand up for me at the start. I actually would probably just avoid him in a normal situation and not make a big deal of this.
However, I feel quite unhappy now, and as a commenter said, looking forwards 10 years I don't think the friendship in this state will be good for me. While I have thought of talking to her, as you can see above, either I have mentioned some of these things in some capacity and been dismissed, or the issue is who she is as a person. I sincerely believe that I have no right to dictate who she is as a person. But these core things disrupt my life and make things really difficult for me, so I'm not sure if I should keep putting up with them. I keep rationalizing to myself with "no one's perfect", "she's not completely at fault, I am top" and " I've also probably made mistakes and hurt her, I shouldn't make a fuss". However, as the commenter said if I'm unhappy then that's that. Forcing myself to continue feeling suffocated and unhappy because I feel guilty is just foolish.
Why am I still friends with her?
Well, while I am very isolated with no friends to hang out with, this connection feels more real? A lot of my old connections, I would wander around those groups, and no one would notice if I left. Sometimes, it made me feel really lonely like no one cared for me. They all felt like surface-level friendships. This often made it super easy to walk away when things got toxic (which I can't do right now), however, I often felt depressed and unfilled then. Whereas my friendship with her feels more genuine and deeper.
Additionally, we are quite similar in terms of SES and goals. It's quite easy to discuss familial issues with her when I need support, and from a financial standpoint, I don't feel pressured to spend with her either. Sometimes this can be stressful since she's more stingy than me, so I feel guilty for spending too (and therefore, going out with other friends and spending). We have also argued before on finances, and i sometimes can't understand why she's making such a big deal about things. I feel held back from spending as I please. However, unlike many other people; I never feel bad about saving. Using coupons, or points, or carefully checking multiple prices. We do that stuff together, so I don't feel bad doing it.
Our sisters have also really hit off, and it's a nice dynamic between the four of us and I don't know how they'll be affected or our families will react in general.
Being in a similar field means she understands not having the time to hang out (especially while we did IB). This expectation go hang-out more from my middle-school friends stressed me out a lot.
What I think is the best solution:
I'd love to remain friends and just have a crap ton of distance between us. The type of friendship where you see each other only on holidays (like once every 4 months?). That way we can quickly catch-up, and can be there for each other if needed, but I can go ahead and live my own life. Plus, I can find myself again and be the person I like.
I guess part of my worry with this is also clubs. We have many similar interests, and I want to join schools clubs without feeling tied down or running back into her. Often when I'm in environments with her around, I feel like I have to let her lead and I can't just be me and do me. I have to back off and step down or else she gets pushy. I tend to thrive more when I'm on my own without her whether that's working with a group or just leading in general. Even working with a group, while I've definitely gotten frustrated with them, we sort things out quite well because I'm handling situations with them my way. I want that back in every club in my life. But even now, pre-uni starting we've somehow managed to join the same pre-med club. And I feel like either we'll keep joining the same clubs or I have to back off and stop doing what I want to do cuz she's doing them to be able to unclip my wings and be free.
However, with us going to the same universities (in a city 2.5 hours from where we live now), I don't know how to get around all this. I also don't know how to tell her most of this without hurting her feelings. And even if I did, as I mentioned prior, the core of the issue is who she is as a person and how she carries herself. Just because I like being optimistic and nice doesn't mean I can force her to be that way. She's allowed to have her defense mechanisms, and we've discussed before how she believes her way of living is better than mine for her. (Her's being the pessimistic, and as she calls it "realistic" way, whereas mine is a lot more optimistic, sometimes naive, but imo it's simpler?). And no one has any right to say what is the right way to live for everyone? So that feels wrong...
I just want a casual relationship. I don't want to make an enemy out of her as I enter university because I have even less energy for that then the bs I'm dealing with rn. I just want us to be like friends, not best friends. And keep a lot of distance when we first go in. I feel like a huge part of the issue here is we passed the point in the friendship cycle where your supposed to drift off. Usually having that time away I feel like allows for a natural drift back in as you accidentally cross paths again. And I sorta want to just drift back now and naturally drift back to being friends later when / if it works out.
I guess the question is how do I explain all of this to her and reach a resolution without making an enemy out of her

2023.06.01 07:25 Amazing_Praline_2475 Dealing with my own incompetence in comparison to my friends
Up until last year, everything school-wise has been going great in my life. I had just started preparing for the university entrance exams, which included mathematics/physics/chemistry and language studies. I've never been a genius but I did get things especially in applied sciences better and with less effort than others, that was until this year, the last year of highschool and arguably the most crucial moment in my younger life that decides what job I will be able to do. (In my country you take generalized exams based on whose grades you can pick and chose a public university to attend and my economic situation does not allow me to go to a private institution) This year, I seem to struggle with absolutely everything, these lessons that I had specifically chose because I enjoyed and was good at them all of the suddenly seem unfathomably complex. And I am quite proud of how I adjusted to this new reality, even though in the last years I never really had a work ethic, I dug deep and managed to force myself to focus, study and increase the effort I put into my studies. There is only so much of that I can take though, as I continued to try harder, sometimes I've seen my grades fall or at best stagnate, whereas the friends that I had who were intelligent, whom I was able to always match and even surpass in academics, all continue on as previously. Even worse now I see them partying until late at night, being sleep deprived, drunk, never opening a single book to study and simply just "getting it" whereas I struggle to maybe sometimes match their grades now. They ask me to hang out, come with them and they can't seem to understand why I'm studying so much. I know that I should just try my best and not be bothered by what everyone else is doing, but it's hard because I'm a competitive person and even comparing myself to me previously makes me feel disappointed, me being surrounded by more "gifted" people daily certainly doesn't help. They're all great people, really, best friends I've ever had but I can't help but feel spiteful how carelessly they seem to go about life, having both relatively wealthy parents that will provide for them and the innate intelligence that they have. Our exams are starting tomorrow and will last for the next two weeks, despite me trying my best, my final mock exams that I've taken do not show satisfactory results... I know that my problem is stupid and inconsequential but I can't help but feel like a complete failure, being worse then them in every way imaginable, from intelligence to social aptitude and the amount of unique experiences any of us had. My mental situation has rapidly deteriorated during this year and I have gotten to the point of absolute self hate where every session of study ends with me bashing my head against my table in frustration. I wish I could afford a therapist but I can't. Thank you to anyone that ended up reading this, If you have any advice on a way I can see things in a new light or overcome these feelings, I'd greatly appreciate it.

2023.06.01 07:23 AsBelowSoIsAbove Advice wanted on being broke (relatively) in Seattle
TL;Dr asking for any advice on assistance programs I may qualify for, food assistance, or other ways to reduce my expenses. Also cheap/free recreation ideas please if you can think of any! And sorry this post is so long and all over the place.
…Okay. Hey :) I have always wanted to live in Seattle and recently while shopping for cheap (for wa) apts I stumbled upon the existence of MFTE housing and realized I could actually afford a place in the city much easier than other semi-desirable cities on the eastside.
I am extremely broke for Seattle. My pre-tax income is $21/hr or $43,556 annually (w/ no OT) which is just a hair above 2.5x my rent, or my rent will be ~39% of my pre-tax. I barely qualified for the minimum income for this apartment. Rent is $1425 and I will pay an additional $200 for parking. I don’t think I can eliminate the parking fee as it was part of the lease I signed, but it may be possible. $1,625/mo is ~59% of my post tax if I don’t work overtime or get other income.
After my other minimum monthly expenses I’m left with $100 max for household expenses (paper towels etc), $150 discretionary, and $189 monthly savings. Ideally I can cut down a little on my gas, food, household, and discretionary spending to save more but no matter what I’ll be on a tight budget. Currently I have approximately 2 months worth of an emergency fund after move-in fees. I also have a total credit limit of $10k and 0% APR on one card until Feb in case of the worst. I realized yesterday I didn’t take into account annual vehicle registration so my budget is actually even tighter than what I outlined above. Renters insurance, utilities, etc are mostly paid for under the MFTE program except internet is not, but I have unlimited on my phone plan so I may forego wifi.
Any advice on how to save money both on fun and essentials would be
greatly appreciated. I’m aware of a
federal program to save $30/mo on cell service which I’ll be signing up for soon, are there any other federal or local programs I can take advantage of? I know there are a lot of programs available but they can be really hard to find out about.
I know there are a ton of ways to have fun without spending money, but any ideas for inexpensive/free things to do for fun would also be very appreciated!
I can’t cut out the car, I will commute to the Eastside and public transit doesn’t seem to be an option for the hours I work. Additionally the past few years I’ve always had it in the back of my mind that worst case scenario I can always live in my car if things get rough so I really wouldn’t want to get rid of it even if I could. The car is paid off, main expense will be parking then fuel etc.
I know that I can’t really afford this rent on my current income btw, but I’m very hopeful for a better job soon. I changed my field almost 1 year ago and am planning soon to make a transition to another company and make 40-80% more. When I asked the property manager about what happens if I get a better job with a salary above the $59k/yr limit she told me for this type of MFTE housing they only verify my income in the beginning and do not re-verify annually. Does anyone know if this is correct and also
would this be a felony if I was able to get a decently paying job and renewed the lease?
Would it be prosecuted? In the meantime if I have an unexpected large expense I have a few options for extra income (OT, Lyft, growing/selling redacted, using my adhd script for cAsHflOw, or camming/sugar baby) but honestly for my mental health i don’t want to do any of those if avoidable.
Sorry for this rambling wall of text. Any advice on assistance programs I may qualify for, food assistance or private sector free food, or other ways to reduce my expenses would be so helpful. Also cheap/free recreation ideas please if you can think of any. Uh yeah… hope my dad is too busy to go on Reddit this week lmao

2023.06.01 07:20 ThrowRAcoldhandz Me [28M] and my girlfriend [28F] need help deciding where to live in the future
I'm in a bit of a dilemma and would appreciate some advice. I am an only child and an only grandchild, and my grandparents (88 and 87) are incredibly important to me. I grew up very close to them and want to be there to help my mom care for them when/if they require direct assistance. Currently, we all live in the same metro area, along with my girlfriend.
However, my girlfriend is from a town 250 miles (4 hour drive) away, and her entire social circle, including friends and family, is there. She often expresses her desire to spend more time with them, and I understand and support that. We visit her hometown frequently, but it never feels like enough. We've also discussed starting a family together, and I recognize her need for a support network during that time.
Recently, she mentioned a job opening in her parents' city that she wants to apply for. We're both interested in a long-term commitment, and I was planning to propose to her soon. However, I want to ensure we can find a resolution to this issue before moving forward.
How can we navigate our conflicting desires for where to live and create a compromise that works for both of us? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

2023.06.01 07:20 swedemead95 My father (50M) and stepmother (41F) suddenly do not want to be involved with my newlywed husband (24M) and I (27F).
This is gonna be a long one, but the tea is hot.
My mother died 5 years ago and my father was remarried within the year of her passing. In support of my dad, even though I was a little hurt deep down by how quickly he moved on after my mom passed (ALS), I welcomed his new wife with open arms. If he's happy, I'm happy. There was a year there shortly after they were married that my dad and I were not on speaking terms. In short, my father wanted me to cut ties with a certain family friend that we had known for over 15 years because his wife didn't like them.
A year later, tensions were resolved after we had apologized for the fight and I remained close to family friend. Dad and I had been on good terms since.
Fast forward to December 2022. I'm a few months engaged to my future husband. Around this time, my then fiancé and I were switching careers and got hired onto the same trucking company together to save money and travel the country. We were excited to embark on this new journey together.
The first sign of conflict began when my stepmom would openly express her disapproval with us for not pursuing our previous careers. She thinks that being a trucker would be too dangerous for me and unhealthy, but more than likely, it doesn't fit her idea of what my life should be. Said it was a shame I wasn't using my degree like I had intended in the medical field. It rubbed us the wrong way, but we let the comments slide.
Now here's the need to know in bullet points.
Wedding day:
-mother in law is taking longer than expected to do my hair, stepmom throws a fit
-show up to stepmoms house to do makeup as planned, and neither parent is ready, time is already getting close. Stepmom calls me a shitty planner and makes me feel extremely uncomfortable like I'm a client and not her stepdaughter.
-parents leave late b/c stepmom takes too long to get ready (she had all day to do so)
-5pm courthouse closes, dad and stepmom almost did not get let in, I was close to tears. This would have been the second time that we would have postponed the wedding b/c of stepmom. The first postpone was because she got the fucking sniffles.
-tied the knot and the celebration after went very well. No issues there.
After the wedding:
-husband and I notice a cease in contact from dad and stepmom.
-tried to contact, did not hear back from.
Now it's March of 2023, still no real contact. I gave up and decided to give them space. We end up back home after a few months on the road to sell my car. Dad lives in same city. Coincidentally, my great aunt is visiting dad. Only met her once as a baby. I ask my dad if I can come over to pick up a package... aaand back to bullet points...
-dad says I can pick up mail from the back porch as if he doesn't want to see me and my husband.
-we take in stride. We go about our day.
-get text from dad after we get back to our truck asking "so when are you guys coming over" like we had made plans? Great aunt wants to see me.
-we head back to dad's place to meet great aunt and uncle.
-immediately, vibes are off with stepmom. She seemed like she didn't want us there.
-stepmom immediately starts firing off sly comments at my personal appearance after months of trucking
-she tells great aunt that they never hear from me and that its almost like they don't have a daughter.
-talks down about other truckers and refers to them as gross
-in passing, I ask my dad for my foreign grandmother's address to send postcards. stepmom berates me for not knowing my own grandma's international address. I am in regular contact with my grandma on social media... we just don't send snailmail.
-stepmom tells great aunt that they were "hardly even invited to the wedding" (did yall forget that we almost postponed twice for you guys?). She then complains that the whole day was unorganized because we're young and "bad planners".
-I'm fuming so I'm getting red in the face, stepmom comments that I am flushed and have bags under my eyes. This was conveyed as what felt like mock concern.
-we leave after everyone decides to go to bed, I am furious at stepmoms disrespectful attitude towards me in front of my family.
-husband was not even acknowledged by stepmom all night. (Super out of the norm btw).
Now present day...
-I texted my dad after months of silence asking to clear the air between us
-dad responds to me super cryptic text saying now's not a good time. We need to talk face to face (given all of our careers, this impossible to do in a timely manner)
-I text back saying can we please just talk over the phone about this or even FaceTime? Also, he gave no indication of what was a good time.
-dad responds next morning restating that "Now is not a good time. Face to face is better I think. No need to travel the country. If we get a chance to meet, let's wait for that opportunity."
My husband and I are at a loss because they haven't told us why there is so much sudden animosity towards us. We also are confused why they are blowing this conversation off. Wouldn't you want to clear the air with your kid? Regrettably, we haven't communicated with them about why we are upset either. We feel we don't deserve the treatment we are receiving. I suspect my stepmom is manipulating my dad as this is unusual behavior for him.

2023.06.01 07:20 SpartanJ5 Need negotiation advice
Laid off from my only job over a month ago. After weeks of applying and no solid offers, I now have two on the table and I'm not sure how to play this.
Accepted new J1 last week which is fully remote paying $65/hr w2 with no PTO included. I already started on boarding paperwork but haven't actually started yet nor received my laptop yet. On the plus side, it's a great setup to getting back to OE again due to being remote.
Now I just got an offer with another job I had applied to as a back up, but this job is on Ste only for the govt. They actually offered more than we initially talked about at $76/hr and includes a week of PTO. I was going to pass on this one but now that the rate is much higher than the remote role I'm thinking about just doing it anyway until I get ahead again financially, and then pivoting back to a full remote job that is OE friendly.
Right now neither job know I have accepted the others offer. I want to know if it's possible to leverage the new higher pay offer to see if the full remote role would be willing to match it. I know it's a pretty big jump in rate. Both are contract roles. How should I approach this for the greatest chance of success? Would I have more leverage now that they have stopped interviewing for the role and have began on boarding or is it a lost cause since I've already signed the acceptance document with the pay rate listed?
The other thing is that the remote job plans to have me start as soon as next week and the on site roll, not until a week later.

2023.06.01 07:19 notatheist A few thoughts about The Shining
“What exactly is the nothing we don’t have to worry about? Stu made it sound like a cross between blackmail and a National Enquirer feature on the Overlook. Talk to me, boy.” Stephen King
I propose the entire movie is set on December 2nd. Redrum day. Jack has already been locked in the pantry, and Wendy has been hired on as the new hotel manager. While Hallorann is mid-flight (chapter 42), Danny is sleeping in the apartment, and Jack is sleeping in the storeroom Wendy feeds everyone a whole new story using (akin to auto hypnosis) hypnosis aka shining. She sets up a snow cat for Hallorann to bring her, and keeps real good time, so she’s ready to leave Jack as soon as Hallorann gets there to The Overlook.
“By five o’clock tonight you’ll never know anybody was ever here”
I believe she’s leaving Jack for Al Shockley too. Al Shockley the tennis coach at stovington and I beater the investor with the largest block of stock in the overlook hotel.
This is from the book:
“The greatest terror of Danny’s life was DIVORCE, a word that always appeared in his mind as a sign painted in red letters which were covered with hissing, poisonous snakes. In DIVORCE, your parents no longer lived together. They had a tug of war over you in a court (tennis court? badminton court? Danny wasn’t sure which or if it was some other, but Mommy and Daddy had played both tennis and badminton at Stovington,so he assumed it could be either) and you had to go with one of them and you practically never saw the other one, and the one you were with could marry somebody you didn’t even know if the urge came on them. The most terrifying thing about DIVORCE was that he had sensed the word—or concept, or whatever it was that came to him in his understandings—floating around in his own parents’ heads, sometimes diffuse and relatively distant, sometimes as thick and obscuring and frightening as thunderheads. It had been that way after Daddy punished him for messing the papers up in his study and the doctor had to put his arm in a cast.
That memory was already faded, but the memory of the DIVORCE thoughts was clear and terrifying. It had mostly been around his mommy that time, and he had been in constant terror that she would pluck the word from her brain and drag it out of her mouth, making it real. DIVORCE. It was a constant undercurrent in their thoughts, one of the few he could always pick up, like the beat of simple music. But like a beat, the central thought formed only the spine of more complex thoughts, thoughts he could not as yet even begin to interpret. They came to him only as colors and moods. Mommy’s DIVORCE thoughts centered around what Daddy had done to his arm, and what had happened at Stovington when Daddy lost his job.”
Also, in the book when Jack is told by Al that he’s not allowed to write a book about the hotel he says this:
“How do I know it? At the worst, you’re planning to smear my hotel by digging up bodies that were decently buried years ago. At the best, you call up my temperamental but extremely competent hotel manager and work him into a frenzy as part of some … some stupid kid’s game.” “It was more than a game, Al. It’s easier for you. You don’t have to take some rich friend’s charity. You don’t need a friend in court because you are the court. The fact that you were one step from a brown-bag lush goes pretty much unmentioned, doesn’t it?” “I suppose it does,” Al said. His voice had dropped a notch and he sounded tired of the whole thing. “But Jack, Jack … I can’t help that. I can’t change that.” Stephen King
Al had been setting Jack up all along. To get to Wendy? Perhaps not at first.
Danny was 42 months old when Jack broke his arm.
21 months later, in July, he never touches another drop of alcohol. He finally quits. Forever and ever and ever.
5 months later it’s December 2nd. Five months of peace, five months on the wagon.
Al-cohol Shock-ley
Bob T Watson the original hotel owner and caretaker died by electrical shock when he “accidentally” plugged his finger in a light socket in the earlier thirties.
The hotel had been working on Jack and a Wendy for a very long time.
Now Wendy wears the gold chain
“Roll over, doggy. Play dead. Woof-woof.
Horace had put on the golden chain in 1939, and when it served his purpose he had knocked it off. That had happened tonight” Stephen King Before The Play

Notice the covers on the furniture at the end of the movie: They covered it all up.

2023.06.01 07:18 Available_Field_5160 How to tell her that I'm not interested in meeting / talking with her anymore?
Hi everyone, first post here, If this feels too long, TLDR is at the bottom
- I'm (25 M) and I met (22 F) at work almost a year ago. We hit it off instantly and would spend lunches together and take walks during our breaks. I asked her out, but our work schedules and locations made dating difficult. She comes from a conservative family and stays with them, so we couldn't meet even on weekends.
- She stopped talking to me and hanging out because of office gossip regarding us, even though I said that the gossip didn't bother me. We then only spoke if it was work related. She quit 3-4 months before me because of personal reasons (and no, the office gossip wasn't the reason).
- I stopped talking to her, deleted her number, and unfollowed her on social media after she left.
- She suddenly contacted me during my notice period to talk about stuff and office gossip (who joined and who left, etc.).
- I guess my feelings were still there, so we started talking, chatting and following each other on social media again. I asked her out again, and we made plans to meet, but work, family, location, and other things always came in the way.
- She had even come to shop at a market near my place and had asked me to come and accompany her, but I couldn't meet because of work pressure then. We had agreed to meet after almost a month of chatting and talking, but she finally got her new job on the day we were supposed to meet and is now busy with that.
- I'm also working at a new place now, but our timings are completely different.
- As of now, we barely talk on the phone, and even our messages are brief and we both take hours to respond, whereas we would respond to each other in seconds or minutes before. And as mentioned above, we also stay quite far from each other's place.
- She's asked me to come to a nearby location next Friday to meet, but honestly, I'm tired of the chase and am not interested anymore.
Should I just stop texting/talking or should I tell her my reasons for not going out? I could say that our timings don't match, we constantly make plans but cannot follow up due to work, family, or other commitments and I feel its better to not meet and talk or chat anymore.
If I tell her, should I do so on text, voice message, or should I call her?
TLDR -
I met a girl at work and we hit it off instantly, asked her out, but our work schedule, location, family and office gossip made dating difficult. We are working at different places now but due to the above reasons (except office gossip) makes meeting up difficult and I have lost interest in meeting and talking to her. Should I just stop texting/talking or should I tell her my reasons for not going out?

2023.06.01 07:17 BootReservistPOG (Spoilers Extended) Accents of Westeros
I don’t know why I imagine the Westerosi with American accents. However, I do. I decided to really look at how Westeros is, and try to imagine what accents (or Westerosi equivalent to the real-world accent) one would find if they were in Westeros.
Tell me what you guys think?
By region:
North: Southern Accents, oddly enough (rural, more agrarian/hunting/fishing culture, more conservative than rest of the country)
White Harbor: New Orleans accent. Manderly and other nobles talk like the fancy “Neeeeee-ooo Owlahns” rich people, commoners talk more like regular New Orleans people (big city with a distinct culture from area around it)
Last Hearth/Wall area: Redneck parts of Louisiana, generally the area around the border w/ Mississippi but north of NOLA. “Badduhn Rudge” kind of accents (mine sort of tbh but I have a weird accent)
Neck: Stereotypical Cajun accent
Between Neck and Winterfell: Texas drawl probably because it’s not in the neck so it wouldn’t have the Cajun barely-English sense but it also wouldn’t be close enough to other places and Northerners remind me of Texans except somewhat more tolerable (sorry Texas, I still love you)
Beyond the Wall: Alabaman, because wildlings are primitive, illiterate, and probably inbred. Also fuck Alabama.
Winterfell Area: Transatlantic Accent. Think the way actors in old-timey movies talk. Most of the highest-ranking noble families talk that way, because many are fostered/squires/held hostage in regions that they are not originally from, and they are almost universally educated by maesters. Their household may or may not sound more like the local accent or the transatlantic. I think Winterfell would have more commoners/lower-ranking nobles speaking in a transatlantic accent though, because they would interact with people who spoke like that more than other accents. I could be wrong, though.
Bear Island: Georgia? We haven’t heard much from the places east of the Mississippi, so I might go with that.
Skagos: mysterious, cannibalistic, primitive tribesmen. Alabama.
Mountain Tribes: Imma go with Mississippi/Georgia/Carolinas, depending on the tribe. Mainly because we haven’t heard much from those areas.
Vale
Mostly Appalachian, because of all the mountains. The parallels are obvious, I think. I would go into more detail but we don’t spend much time in the Vale, but I’ll do my best.
However, the Vale would have a lot of unique accents.
Gulltown wouldn’t have a particularly distinct accent. It’s a trade port, so you have people from all over the place moving/settling/trading.
The part of the fingers ruled by House Baelish:
https://youtu.be/AIZgw09CG9E. I like this, because House Baelish are Essosi. That accent in the video has some to certain British accents and American ones. House Baelish originated in Essos and would have been a much larger fraction of the area’s population than other noble Houses, meaning they would have a much greater impact on the local accent after three generations.
Eyrie: Transatlantic, see Winterfell.
Riverlands
Missouri. I don’t think Missourians have a strong accent, especially in the St. Louis area. The Riverlands, being centrally located in Westeros, would have influence from everywhere and I think would kind of talk in a normal American accent, which I kind of place as Missouri/Kansas. No twang, no real markers of anything. That said, the general American accent is still an accent.
Once again, House Tully and other big houses would speak with a Transatlantic accent. I can also imagine noblemen and smallfolk who interact with noblemen frequently switch accents based on who they’re with. That’s a thing in real life. So if some servant who spent her whole life working for the Tullys was speaking with Edmure, she would most likely speak in a transatlantic accent. But when she went home and was talking to her family and friends, back to her Missouri accent.
The Freys, I think, would have the most pronounced Transatlantic accent of any group in the Riverlands. They are the most likely to compensate for being “new money” by adopting the trappings of the Westerosi Great Houses. They would subconsciously be biased toward the rich, important accent that Westerosi great lords would use.
Iron Islands
They suck, and so does Alabama. Alabama accent. But like, some really really strong Alabama accent. And they would subconsciously make it stronger, even the Greyjoys would reject the Transatlantic.
Reach
In more Rural places, they would have Wisconsin/Minnesota accents. Sort of similar to the Canadian accent, but still mostly American. More isolated communities would have the full-on “Mih-neh-sooooooht-da” sound.
Oldtown: Boston. Coastal city, with a major center of learning. Harvard/Citadel, I like it.
Highgarden: Headcanon that the transatlantic thing started in the Reach, with the Hightowers first and then the Tyrells picking it up. Not deliberately, but subconsciously.
Stormlands
No clue. I’ve only read up to ASOS, and we haven’t spent much time there iirc. Baratheons probably don’t talk transatlantic. Maybe kind of Northeastern? Cause Kings Landing I picture talking like New Yorkers, and the Stormlands are close to to that area. So I guess whatever people from New York but not New York City sound like. Maybe New Jersey a little? Idk if I can imagine Stannis the Mannis sounding like a guy from New Jersey.
Dorne
Sandy Dornishmen: New Mexico, Utah, desert kind of places. I know a few people from there, they don’t have any particularly strong accent.
Salty Dornishmen: California, bro. Not Valley Girl, though. Very coastal people, and also tend to be more progressive, and they make a lot of wine. A lot of non-Dornish people have stereotypes, but the Dornishmen we meet are pretty chill actually. Same with Cali, in my experience. Not an exact replica of Cali, but fuck it.
Stony Dornishmen: Honestly whatever people who live in the Rockies sound like.
House Dayne: House Dayne is special as shit, because they are a weird, unique House in Westeros. To make them more special, I’m giving them an Alaskan accent.
Note about Dorne: They do not follow the trend of Westerosi nobles having a Transatlantic accent. The Dornish nobility sound like House Martell, being Stony Dornishmen and therefore sounding like stereotypical Californians.
Note about Transatlantic accent: In real life, it didn’t catch on with most people if I remember. It was an attempt by the American media and government to get all Americans to speak similarly. I kind of head-cabin that some Targaryen had the idea as he was going mad, and the scared-shitless Grand Maester decided to make it happen.
What do you guys think?

2023.06.01 07:17 additional_stranger Looking for a roommate (21m)
Hey guys,
I'm a 21-year-old guy who recently made the move from New York to West Palm Beach. I landed an awesome job as a Technical Director for a news company right in downtown. I was supposed to room with a coworker but he decided not to move from NY. Now, I'm on the lookout for a cool roommate to share a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment with me.
About the Apartment: The prices average between 1900-2200 a month, so 900-1100 each. The apartments I have been looking for are within a 15-minute drive from downtown. I've been checking out some gated communities that offer pools and fitness centers. These places are really cool, I have some videos of them and we can visit and pick together if you want. My aunt is a real estate agent, and she’s been helping me find the hidden gems.
Who I'm Looking for: I'm hoping to find a roommate who meets a few criteria. It would be ideal if you have a credit score of at least 650, as the leasing office requires it for the lease. We will both sign the lease. Additionally, you'll need to provide proof of income to keep things official.
But beyond that, I'm looking for someone who's cool, clean, and preferably under 30. I'm into sports and love to catch games whenever I can. I also enjoy DJing on the weekends as a hobby.
If you're interested send me a message! We can chat more about it.
Thanks, Colin
