2023.05.29 04:17 BH-NaFF Selling Miata, wondering fair price for condition these days
NA 1994 1.8L with 80k miles. No scratches or dents, clean paint. Soft top with no leaks, tan soft top and interior on classic red paint. 5spd manual. MP62 supercharger on a power card setup from power card pro. Full exhaust headers back. TDR Roll bars. Yonoka coil overs. XXR wheels. New clutch with under 3k miles. Working radio, working AC, working speakers except for one that is currently removed but comes with the car. 4 extra tires(medium wear) also come with the car.
Runs and drives, but runs rough. I’ve been trying to diagnose the problem for a year but have been at school most of the time I own it so mostly has been sitting or in the hands of multiple shops, who also haven’t been able to pinpoint the problem.
Has lifter tick and a heavy idle surge that is worsened by any activation of electronics in the car. Frequently stalls itself out after coming out of geato a stop.
It could be as simple a fix as the air ratio being off(I have no AFR so couldn’t tune/test that myself), a vacuum leak, or a loose wire. Or it could be a more major electrical problem stemming from the power card setup. Either way I don’t have the skills necessary to fix it, nor do I have the time to research it as a college student. So this could be a great car for a knowledgeable person, but I feel like I’d have trouble selling it for a decent price to just the average joe.
Here is an example close to mine from ‘21 except it actually ran well. Sold for 9k:

2023.05.29 04:17 Iuka297 Antagonizing Americans on Memorial day is a shitty thing to do.
So I know a lot of people don't understand that we have a holiday to our wardead and yes we got our jokes "Must be Toytathon!" But still mocking people who had military family who died is just shitty.
Blame the politician not the people who have to go to war some didn't even have a choice.
War is a horrible thing, innocent people die while some senator or Congressman laughs signing contracts for bombs and bullets because they want to be re elected and commit crimes.
See is that so hard?
Going "Lel your son stepped on a landmine and deserved it!" Or "Awww did the little imperialist lose his little buddies in the jungles?"
6 years ago my dad passed, while he left the jungles he still had shrapnel in his body, agent orange was slowly killing him and the fact when he returned from Vietnam wasn't a heros welcome. It was stepping off the plane onto a bus, coming home to "oh you're alive? Sold your motorcycle." Being called a baby killer by his girlfriend at the time who dumped him he was turned away from the VFW because "EHHH WIN A REAL WAR YA HIPPIE!" this man walked a life of constantly being shat on for something he had no choice in. All he got for any recognition was the local VFW put up a flag to honor him after his battle with cancer.
I hated the concept of the Vietnam war especially since " Our greatest ally" actually attacked us to gas light us into their stupid ass war.
See this is how we pick on historical issues or even current ones.
But using this day to push anti war propaganda is doing it poorly and the target shouldn't be the soldier. It should always be the "Vote for me."
Maybe your countries should do something to honor the people who protected your home and land?

2023.05.29 04:16 xXRyuuGinXx Questions about Fostex headphones (mainly about the T50RP-Mk3)
Hi guys,
I've got some questions that are related to Fostex headphones but maybe they are more just about the mentioned model that I've stated in the title because I'm considering buying it.
1.) What exactly is recommended to mod in order to make them comfortable?
I read quite a few times that you have to swap the pads to Shure or ZMF ones.
Also the headband itself is recommended to change. But is that really necessary?
If it's about clamping force then the head of a person decides how strong the clamping force will be and I have a real small head so I don't think it would be a problem.
2.) Is it true that the pads are more on ear and not over ear? I've read somewhere that your ears won't fit into the earpads and compared it to some Grados headphones? I have relative big ears. My old audio-technica ATH-M30 earpads are almost too small (5,5 cm)
3.) On thomann someone mentioned that songs who are very bassy will begin to hiss and gave electronic music as an example. Is that really the case? I'm not really listening to electronic music (I mainly listen to metalcore, deathcore, japanese rock - stuff like Orbit Culture, Within Destruction, Currents, Erra but also not so heavy stuff like Dayseeker or Sleep Token for example) but in some songs there will always be some electronic parts so I'm a bit worried about that part.
4.) What kind of DAC/Amp combo would be good for maybe 100€?
This headphone seems to be very power hungry and I have no idea what would be optional. I have to say that I'm from europe so stuff from drop for example is something I try to avoid because of the extra shipping and tax cost.
5.) Would there be an alternative for 250-300€ if the price goes up too much for all the modding stuff? Planar headphones would be a priority - No Hifimans because of the quality control issues. To me that's a lot of money and I don't want to risk such things.
Thanks in advance.

2023.05.29 04:15 jimscreechy Thoughts on female assistant?
Recently ended a 10 year marriage and I am currently isolated the majority of the time. It is hard being alone so much.
Im really thinking of hiring a female from outside of the country so:
I can have someone beautiful to look at to lift my spirits Cook for me Massage me when needed for stress (not sexual) Wash my clothes Go out with me to dinner and movies Cuddle with me in bed (non sexual) Be my eye candy and have them where what I want (not sexual) I guarantee it's not a sexual thing. It's more of emotional support
What do you think about this?

2023.05.29 04:15 uterine-fortitude101 End of auto lease decision time
3yr ago (about 4mo after I paid it off, of course) my 11yo car needed some massive brake/steering repairs that were going to be significantly more than the car was with as a sale or trade. Unfortunately, my credit wasn't great at the time and the cheapest ($ per month) option that I was comfortable with was a lease on a basic Honda Civic.
My parents always told me leasing was basically for people who were more concerned about having a "cool" car than making smart financial choices, so there is a bit of a stigma surrounding leasing in my head
This is the first car I've ever leased. My lease term is almost up, I need to make a decision and I'm looking for insight or advice. Of note, I have been promoted in the interim and so make a bit more and eliminated some debt so my credit is quite a bit better.
The options are:
1) Purchase the car I've been leasing. - Pros: There is one significant scratch to the body and noticeable scuffing on 3 of the 4 hubcaps (please don't judge 🫣) that i might be able to avoid getting dinged for if i just keep it. Will eventually own it and be payment free (God willing). - Cons: I don't really love this car. There's nothing wrong with it exactly, but it's not what I would've chosen.
2) Lease another car (probably a Honda HRV). - Pros: I would be happier with the car I'm driving while paying about the same $/mo as I am now. There are some Honda loyalty incentives that might be applicable. Maintenance and repairs are partially covered under lease. (Technically I pay for it, but it's rolled into monthly payment.) - Cons: Probably take a bit of a hit transferring to a new lease because of the damage to the Civic. Still not moving towards a car payment-free future.
3) Turn it in and purchase something else. -Pros: Happier with the car I'm in. Working towards payment free situation. No worries about minor damage in the future like a lease. - Cons: Not guaranteed to get favorable terms. Could end up costing more per month for a less "nice" vehicle. Not guaranteed something I like will be available in my price range. Will take the longer to pay off than buying the Civic.
I'm currently wavering between options 1 and 2. Any and all input is welcome.
Thanks!

2023.05.29 04:15 Jy218778397 Windfall Life of a Politician S2 Age 53
| The initial support for your campaign was granted by none other than the illustrious Women's Christian Temperance Union, following your eloquently crafted letter highlighting the importance of temperance being left to individual states. Regrettably, the Anti Saloon League has refrained from providing their endorsement, though it must be noted that they have not extended their support to any of the other three contenders either. However, their stance is of little consequence, given the plethora of endorsements garnered from influential Union leaders hailing from diverse regions of the nation. This is, in no small measure, attributed to the Socialist faction of the party, which made concerted efforts to solicit their backing. Among these endorsements, one may cite the names of Peter J. McGuire of the UBC and John McBride of the AFL, to name a few. To the astonishment of many, the endorsement from an individual outside of Union leadership, emerged as the most striking. The enigmatic and controversial Governor of Illinois, John P. Altgeld, known for his populist ideologies and fervent advocacy for Unions during the labor wars, has remarkably severed ties with his party to endorse you for the presidency. This surprise announcement is particularly noteworthy, as Altgeld is currently running for re-election, thus indicating the gravity of his conviction in endorsing you. This unexpected turn of events not only opens up the state of Illinois for you but also provides an opportunity to compete in the Northern regions, thereby- your thoughts are quickly interrupted by the sudden appearance of your brother Edwin bursting into the room, his panicked expression betraying his concerns. In his hand, he clutches a newspaper with a headline that immediately sends a chill down your spine. The situation has suddenly become a lot more complicated, as the article announces the return of Theodore Roosevelt to the campaign trail, fully recovered from his wounds. The Palmer House As you disembarked from the train, the locomotive hissed and huffed, halting at the station with a metallic clang. A sense of nostalgia washed over you as you realized that it had been eons since you had last set foot in this city. And yet, as you gazed around, you couldn't help but notice that the place seemed to be frozen in time, unchanged since your last visit. Chicago, a metropolis teeming with squalor, corruption, and destitution - reminiscent of New Orleans in many ways. You meandered through the streets, your hat pulled low over your forehead, a cloak of anonymity to evade detection. After a while, you arrived at your destination, the prestigious Palmer House. This exquisite hotel served as the hub of political activity in the city, where councilors, aldermen, journalists, and other influential personalities converged to shape the future of the region. It was here that you were scheduled to rendezvous with the man who held the key to delivering the state into your hands. The illustrious gentleman who has taken it upon himself to further your cause is none other than the venerable Mayor Carter Harrison Jr, scion of the esteemed Carter Harrison Sr. Following the tragic assassination of his father in 1892, Harrison Jr felt compelled to carry forward his father's legacy, especially during the peak of the labor wars, and therefore made the momentous decision to run for mayor in 1893. With a landslide victory, he ascended to the highest office in the city and has since been ardently dedicated his belief that Chicagoans had two major desires, to make money and spend it. Mayor Carter Harrison Jr is aware of the close bond that you share with the Harrison family, by way of your association with Benjamin Harrison and his son ,your current running mate, Russell Harrison. In fact, it is Russell's persuasive appeal in a letter sent from his duties in Cuba that catalyzed the scheduling of this crucial meeting between yourself and the venerable Mayor. The strong familial ties that bind you have paved the way for an auspicious alliance. He promises that he will do everything in his power to make the city vote for you. He spoke of leveraging his vast network of contacts, leveraging his standing in the community, and marshaling all the resources at his disposal to ensure that your message resonated deeply with the citizenry. The Mayor's pledge to leave no stone unturned in his quest to rally the city behind you is impressive to say the least and you are extremely thankful to him as he could be the key to winning this election. Mayor Carter Harrison Jr the key to victory for your campaign Foreign Policy It has been a week since Roosevelt has recovered and the man has already embarked on a journey around the country touting his ideas. Not only has his return been an issue but Allison and his goons are draining support away from your campaign particularly in the border states and West where you are most vulnerable. Russell and his populists have also been making moves taking a third of the Unions under his control including the powerful United Mineworkers of America (UMWA). Not only that he was last seen in New York City alongside Joseph G Pulitzer which is a bad sign. As you recline in your hotel room, weary from a day filled with spirited campaigning in the vibrant city of Chicago, you allow your gaze to wander upon the words of the daily paper that rests in your hands. Amidst the plethora of news, an intriguing article captures your attention, weaving tales of a potential armed uprising in the Philippines against the Japanese Empire. If the rumors hold true, the timing seems ripe for such a rebellion, considering Japan's ongoing conflict with the Russian Empire. Setting the paper aside, your thoughts wander to the profound transformations that have swept across the world since your formative years. Gone are the days when your concerns revolved solely around the struggles between immigrants and nativists within your own country. The world now stands at the precipice of uncertainty and upheaval, with myriad conflicts and tensions engulfing nations far and wide. It is a disconcerting reality that leaves you contemplating the future and questioning the role your country should play on the world stage. Reflecting upon these ponderings, the question arises: What should be your general stance on foreign policy? Interventionism: This is a foreign policy approach that would have the United States actively intervenes in support of democratic values, human rights, and national interests abroad. You would advocate for the proactive use of power to shape international affairs and advance our principles on the global stage. Interventionism aims to actively engage in the world to defend our values and secure our nation's well-being. The current government supports this to a degree as the War In Cuba began over human rights concerns and invocation of the Monroe Doctrine. Open Trade: This would have you advocate for the reduction of tariffs and barriers to international trade, promoting fair and reciprocal trade agreements to stimulate economic growth. This is an unusual position for a former Republican and would alienate protectionists within your new party. Strategic Alliances: This would have you support working towards strategic alliances and partnerships with other nations to protect and advance national interests, including territorial integrity, security, and economic prosperity. There would be a emphasis on maintaining a balance of foreign concerns and safeguarding core national interests. At the moment this would be the least popular choice but it could work if only reserved to countries in the Americas. Neutrality and Non-Entanglement: This would have you maintain a policy of neutrality in conflicts between other nations, focusing on preserving national interests rather than getting entangled in foreign disputes. This is currently the view point shared by many Americans who believe In isolationism. Things have changed ever since the start of the War but many believe this is a special case and not getting involved in world affairs is still the wisest move. Which foreign policy stance will you you follow? Current Traits: Bold, Frugal, Compassionate, Traumatized, Vengeful Relations: Edwin Hays (Brother): 7/10 Isabella Hays (Sister): 6/10 Alexandria Hays (Wife): 9/10 Elijah Hays (Son): 8/10 Current Predictions for the Election of 1896: https://preview.redd.it/fzgijacw0q2b1.png?width=918&format=png&auto=webp&s=9689188a98fa90c8c43c62b9515985bf7666665e View Poll submitted by Jy218778397 to Presidentialpoll [link] [comments] |
2023.05.29 04:13 Lobjectpetita This is really r worded but red scare has made me lose all political consciousness and my only opinion is skepticism
I’m 20 m and I’ve listened to red scare since May last year and it’s turned my understanding of everything upside down. My politics before this were a weird mix of Christianish Tory and lukewarm woke influenced liberalism. At about 14 I was headed to the alt right until I found a contrapoints video about the golden one. From there much of my politics were influenced by contrapoints and the general woke currents of the time. When I started listening to Red Scare it felt like everything made sense, I felt like my religion and my politics were better integrated and it aligned with some of my left wing sympathies and what I’d grown to detest about centrism and neoliberalism. However already as I listened I felt I could never make an opinion on a topic before I heard what A & D thought. This grew even more confusing as they went more right wing. I realise this is really stupid but I have a zoomer insect brain and the skepticism the pod has given me carries over to any viewpoint or institution. A podcast somewhat Red scare aligned cracksinpomo (TPN was on) has given me a more cohesive understanding of things but I still feel very lost in what I should believe.

2023.05.29 04:13 Alexanthroes Is my Thing Bigger then your Thing?
As of now my The Thing's power is at 127,819. He is currently level 75, gear 13 with 3 gear, 7/7/7/5 in abilities, level 5 green iso, and 7 red stars.
I have the resources to keep powering him up, im just about to level 91 and my strongest unit is at 273k. But now the reason why im wasting any resources at all on a garbage tier character.
I recently sought out to beat all the mainline pokemon gens, in order to catch up since i dropped them in my early, but also so at the end i can make a competitive team with help from a friend whos been doing it for years. As i posted the pic of the first badge in my group chat one friend said "the first of many things", and the other a picture of "The Thing". I then posted a picture of me then giving 1 level up to a less then 10k The Thing to add to the joke. We all got laughs so the next time i got a badge i levelled him again. And the next time. And so on.
Fast forward, im now on gen 8 of pokemon and ALOT of "things" have gone by. Beating a gym, beating the elite four and champion, finishing a gen after beating the superbosses. I needed to define what a suitable upgrade for The Thing would be considered, or else i would run out upgrades before i finished the run and i would fail the joke. I ended up with this.
1 level up 1 ability level Tier up and/or 3 gear pieces Star promotion Red stat promotion And Iso tier up (all 5 at once plus upgrade)
I realized as my higher guys struggle to tier up, get t4 ability materials, and farm isos. I decided to begin devoted all my time and resources to pre-prepping upgrades and doing everything with a level requirement as soon as i meet it.
And it donned on me. By the time this is done, i may have the single strongest The Thing of any player. He really just is so bad that i cant imagine anyone being as dumb as i am to spend 250 gold promotion credits on him. Does anyone know if there is a way to check this? Im assuming not.
So i pose the question, in terms of power level, is my thing bigger then your thing?

2023.05.29 04:13 judgmentalbookcover I have ALS and I still went out and voted
I originally posted this in
alberta yesterday. I figured I'd add my plea here, as well. Also, I've since learned that ballots can be mailed in!
Had to take an accessible taxi which took forever to arrive so I could go in my big wheelchair, and masked up of course because covid for me is a possible death sentence. I don't leave the house nearly enough, but the future of our province is at stake, and it's my democratic duty as an Albertan to vote.
Lately when thinking about this election, I've been terrified to the point of nausea. I rely on our healthcare system to keep me alive in the most basic ways: appointments with my ALS team of doctors, countless meds, equipment loans and coverage, AISH, mental health support, tube feed changes, nurse practitioner visits, etc etc. I am EFFED if that stuff gets taken away or monetized.
Why should you care about some random young disabled lady, you ask? Well, if you have a body, or have a loved one who has a body, you should be very concerned about the UCP's plans. You might be healthy now, but what happens when a tiny quirk on the atomic level causes your health and life to completely spiral out of control? You have to wait months for tests, if you're lucky enough to find a decent doctor, or after waiting 12-15 hours in Emergency, and wait several more months for a diagnosis. Meanwhile you can't work because of your condition, and you don't qualify for AISH yet and may never qualify because of new restrictions. Then you begin treatment and end up with tens of thousands of bills. ANYTHING could happen to you at any time. In my early 20s I was diagnosed with ALS, a terminal, degenerative illness which mostly affects middle-aged men. So I really won the lottery on that one.
Anyway, there is a lot of negativity out there currently, but I implore you to have some compassion and foresight, and to take initiative to vote. If I could, you can, too! We need hope here again. Thank you for reading this.

2023.05.29 04:13 Shoutai_fumei Thinking of buying Playland season tickets, do you think it's worth it?
I recently moved to Rye, NY and was thinking about getting 2 Playland season tickets for me and my girlfriend since we live within 10 min from it. I've never bought season tickets for an amusement park before, so I've been debating whether or not it's worth it. It's currently $40 per single admission, and $110 for the season. I think it comes down to how many times I think we'll go, but I'm also curious if I can choose to bring a friend or family member instead of my girlfriend if that's possible, because if so it will probably be worth it.
In general, have you ever bought season tickets at an amusement park? If so:
- Were you able to go with different people? Do they ID you to prevent tranferring tickets easily?
- Did you get your money's worth?
Playland goers would be a plus, but any advice would be helpful. Thanks!

2023.05.29 04:12 Raijinili [WEBTOON] Titles becoming Daily Pass on 2023 June 29
(Previous post:
[WEBTOON] Titles becoming Daily Pass on 2023 May 25)
Currently, 6 titles have the banner "This series will become a Daily Pass series on June 29th, 2023." (sorted from oldest):
- Meow Rangers - 88 episodes, latest Apr 28, 2023.
- 7FATES: CHAKHO - 53 episodes, latest May 19, 2023.
- A Chance At Last - 69 episodes, latest May 16, 2023.
- Write to Your Heart! - 55 episodes, latest May 2, 2023.
- The Most Ordinary Girl - 55 episodes, latest May 3, 2023.
- Principal's Livestream - 49 episodes, latest May 12, 2023.
I will update if there are more (and I expect there to be more). I plan to trigger a scan every day after 02:00, or (if I miss it) before 02:00 the next day. I am not doing dailypassme anymore because Reddit has a limit of 3 notifications per comment.
Asian titles tend to lock at 07:00 UTC on that day (19 hours earlier). Western titles tend to lock the next day at 02:00 UTC (the time when Daily Pass resets). There have been no Western titles that locked in the past few months.
Tip: The day before a title locks, you can use the Download feature for all of the chapters, giving you thirty more days to read them. You won't be able to use the Like and Comment features, and the UI for downloaded chapters seems to be an earlier version (which you might prefer). Note that downloading takes time and can fail, so watch this process.

2023.05.29 04:12 Ok-Relationship-3312 I hate my sister and need to go no contact
I can’t tell her anything without immediately regretting it. A year ago I told my mom I would be changing my name as soon as I legally could because my dad spelled my name wrong on my birth certificate. My sister found out a few months later and asked why. I told her and she asked what I would change it to. I said I didn’t know yet, either an obscure family name my mom wanted to give me, or add a letter to my current name to make it an actual name. My sister decided to change her name to the obscure family name before I was old enough to do it.
Recently I applied to work somewhere and she was also looking for a job but she had an interview. She asked where I applied and she also submitted an application. I told her I didn’t want to work with her but she said “you’ve overcome so much, you’ll get over this” like I was annoying her. We’ve worked together before and it sucked. She would follow me around on my lunch break and when I asked her to leave me alone she said no. Even when I hid, she would try to find me.
Nothing I say matters to her. If I say no to anything, she will just ask mom. I’ll be leaving or doing something, she’ll ask to join, I’ll say no, she’ll then go ask mom who says yes. I’ve started asking why she even asks me, because if I say no, she just goes to someone who will say yes. She told me to stop being snarky.
I just want her to leave me alone. I want nothing to do with her and I’m tired of being forced to spend time with her. My mom says that some distance will make the relationship better, but there won’t be any distance if we work together and I’m forced to eat lunch with her everyday. She goes back to college in August and luckily I have housing separate from my family but spending any time with her only seems to hurt our relationship exponentially. We shared a room for eleven years and it’s like she wants for us to live on top of each other for the rest of our lives.

2023.05.29 04:12 Glittering_Tax_9199 Advice on asking for a pay raise for a recent M.arch grad
Hi all,
For context I am practicing out of Ontario, Canada. I have just finished my M.arch and will be transitioning into a full time intern architect role at the firm I have been working at for the past 1-1/2 years. I now want to ask for a significant raise in addition to 3 weeks vacation a year and a new computer to work on at the office (I currently work remotely on my own desktop).
I have worked a good amount while finishing my M.arch - even doing some serious hours each week will writing my final year thesis - so I feel that I deserve a good pay jump. Not to mention I have really thorough knowledge in software and construction from working at arch offices all thru undergrad as well as masters (plus I have a decent eye for design and presentation). So all in all I feel like what I’m asking for is fair compensation for my value.
I scheduled a meeting with the partners for next week and will pitch all of this. Looking for advice on how to go about it (what to say, what not to say, tips???)
All input is appreciated thank you all in advance <3

2023.05.29 04:12 Royal_Situation5714 Dealing with big life changes
Hi all. F/23. I am undergoing a big life shift at the moment. I have just graduated with my masters degree and will soon be starting my first “adult” job. With that said, I have spent the last three years living with my best friend. We have come to be extremely close and in all honesty, I have become extremely accustomed to having my independence. Our lease has recently ended however, and we both decided that for the next year (or until who knows when), we should move back home with our parents since we’ve both finished school to save money and pay off our student loans. I felt satisfied upon deciding this. Today, we officially moved out and now I feel myself feeling horribly sad. I can’t stop crying and thinking about all of the time we spent together and all of the memories we created in our shared space. We also shared a pet who is currently being lovingly cared for by a close friend of my roommates. I feel such a grand sense of loss and sadness; I love my parents very much but can’t help but ruminate and feel consumed by my sadness. My best friend lives 45 minutes away from me and I do not have a car at the moment. While we do plan on seeing each other, it will not feel the same given how accustomed I am to seeing this person everyday. The same goes for the sadness I feel I’m not being able to bring this pet with me to my parents home. How do you all deal with big changes like this? Has anyone gone through something similarly? I don’t know that this sadness will ever go away :(

2023.05.29 04:11 fortree2won Trying to install a ceiling light fixture. Fixture has a ground wire, but the ceiling appears to not have one. How do I proceed?
https://imgur.com/a/SPvgC84 Here's an album with:
The ceiling setup, the old fixture, and the new fixture - all labelled with what I believe each element represents. Please correct me if I'm wrong, and do lead me in the right direction if you'd like!
From what I understand, in the old setup, the bare copper wire was just connected to the ground screw on the mounting bracket, and that's it.
What I'm unclear of now though with the new fixture is where the new ground wire would connect to - since I'm assuming the bare copper wire here would similarly connect to the ground screw on the mounting bracket.
From what I understand, there
should be some copper wire coming from the ceiling that this current ground wire would be connected to, right?
I believe the box is metal, and I am looking into acquiring a multimeter to test if the box is grounded.
Bonus question if anyone has the time, where should I be connecting this support wire? Not as pressing as my other questions, but yeah.
Thanks a lot everyone - I'm clearly clueless, and I really appreciate how generous all these electrician communities are with information and help.

2023.05.29 04:11 judgmentalbookcover I have ALS and I still went out and voted
I originally posted this in
alberta yesterday. I figured I'd add my plea here, as well. Also, I've since learned that ballots can be mailed in!
Had to take an accessible taxi which took forever to arrive so I could go in my big wheelchair, and masked up of course because covid for me is a possible death sentence. I don't leave the house nearly enough, but the future of our province is at stake, and it's my democratic duty as an Albertan to vote.
Lately when thinking about this election, I've been terrified to the point of nausea. I rely on our healthcare system to keep me alive in the most basic ways: appointments with my ALS team of doctors, countless meds, equipment loans and coverage, AISH, mental health support, tube feed changes, nurse practitioner visits, etc etc. I am EFFED if that stuff gets taken away or monetized.
Why should you care about some random young disabled lady, you ask? Well, if you have a body, or have a loved one who has a body, you should be very concerned about the UCP's plans. You might be healthy now, but what happens when a tiny quirk on the atomic level causes your health and life to completely spiral out of control? You have to wait months for tests, if you're lucky enough to find a decent doctor, or after waiting 12-15 hours in Emergency, and wait several more months for a diagnosis. Meanwhile you can't work because of your condition, and you don't qualify for AISH yet and may never qualify because of new restrictions. Then you begin treatment and end up with tens of thousands of bills. ANYTHING could happen to you at any time. In my early 20s I was diagnosed with ALS, a terminal, degenerative illness which mostly affects middle-aged men. So I really won the lottery on that one.
Anyway, there is a lot of negativity out there currently, but I implore you to have some compassion and foresight, and to take initiative to vote. If I could, you can, too! We need hope here again. Thank you for reading this.

2023.05.29 04:11 Deep_Importance_5304 How soon should a grad student start applying?
As the title says, I am a grad student looking to graduate in spring 2024 with my masters. I have been working for the nonprofit/local governments sector for almost 4 years, and I am currently in a managment position for a nonprofit.
After looking at this sub, I have found the process takes a few months. I would ideally like to have a new job offer by the time I graduate (I do understand it is a very competitive procress).
When is the best time to start applying?
Another question I have is am i only limited to recent graduate programs with my experience, given I am not a federal employe yet?

2023.05.29 04:10 jimscreechy Thoughts on hiring a female personal assistant
I recently came out of a 10 year marriage and I am currently isolated the majority of the time. It is hard being alone so much. We have kids but we split the time between each parent 50/50.
I am really thinking of hiring a female from outside of the country so:
I can have someone beautiful to look at to lift my spirits Cook for me Massage me when needed for stress (not sexual) Wash my clothes Go out with me to dinner and movies Cuddle with me in bed (non sexual) Be my eye candy and have them where what I want (not sexual) I guarantee it's not a sexual thing. It's more of emotional support
I understand all of this sounds weird but it's really about paying for someone's time and offering emotional support.
What do you think about this? Has anyone done anything similar?

2023.05.29 04:09 crowcatclaw is it reasonable to be in a serious relationship when you know you're unstable?
I seem to be in the process of fully "unlocking" the family bipolar curse which I was hoping I'd avoided, given my mental health issues until recently have been consistent enough with unipolar depression + ADHD/ASD.
I'm in a strange period, I'm unmedicated currently, having stopped the lithium (not specifically for bipolar at that time), antipsychotics, & SSRIs I was on about a year ago; I was just not feeling like my life was being improved and got sick of it. But as a result of that as well as life circumstances etc, things have started getting weird in ways that I haven't had to deal with before and don't know how to adapt to; regular insomnia for nights in a row which always somehow makes me feel SO MUCH better, relapsing with a number of preexisting things (I'm not sure about the appropriate level of specificity for this subreddit), becoming more aware that I have mutually exclusive perspectives at different times, getting obsessions about things and being absolutely certain that this is who I am now (also kind of ADHD, but some of the things are more out of character than I'm used to). Also I think I might be experiencing some kind of psychosis, though I don't know if it counts because I am aware it's not something that makes sense to other people (as much as I try to explain), and it feels more or less relevant at different times so I can kind of ignore it for periods. Regardless, everything's pretty all over the place.
I've also recently officially entered a relationship, with someone I've known a long time, but was out of contact with for some years when he left the country. I am trying my best to be up front about things but I don't know how much I should even be trusting my ability to do that given how much my own understanding keeps changing. Sometimes I'm so ready and organizing to just fly over and move to the opposite side of the world, and sometimes that terrifies me; I know in itself that's a red flag. It''s really important to me to not fuck over other people, and if that has to mean backing off a bit then that sucks super bad but still is better long term. But also I don't know to what degree it's appropriate for me to be making decisions about what's good for someone else?
I guess I'm just asking for any thoughts from anyone who's been through this sort of thing

2023.05.29 04:09 ThrowRA19230 I(24F) am moving out of me and my sister’s (23F) place and she hates me for it and says she’ll be homeless because of me
Tl;DR I’m moving with my bf next year and my sister seems to hate me for it because she can’t afford rent on her own.
Like I said I am moving out of my sister and I’s apartment come January 2024 and she is stressed out and seeming like she hates me for it. I am moving in with my bf (30M)so I can have the freedom to work from home and work towards becoming an illustrator(a dream of mine). I see him as someone who I will be happy long term with and even have kids(also a dream of mine) but now my sister is making me feel very guilty and bad about my decision.
We were poor growing up and in and out of hotels and living in the car so when we got of age we got a place together, got jobs to pay the bills and have been living here for a bout a year and a half now. I let her know two months ago that me and my bf set plans for me to move in with him after our current lease was up and she didn’t take it well. She said I didn’t care about her and the fact that she can’t afford the place on her own and will probably be homeless again after I’m gone. I have $5k in savings that I then told her she could have to help make the transition easier.
She will take the money but is still very stressed about her life after I’m gone and how she’ll afford to live. She is acting standoffish with me and being selective about when she talks to me and I can’t help but feel really guilty. I wish I could give her more money or continue paying half the bills and rent at her place when I’m gone but I’ll be pretty broke considering my work once I move will be self employment that I have to work at before I can make money from it.
She seems like she hates me and I don’t know what to do. When she was dating her ex she offered me the guest room at his place if she were ever to move in with him and she’s mad that I didn’t offer her the same. I would have but my boyfriend lives in his childhood home that his dad owns and has access to only one room for cheaper rent fees from his dad. He also has an aversion to living with family as he came out of a crowded stressful situation living with family before he moved into this place. He said he feels like it’s been great for his mental health and can finally breathe and not go crazy from living with people. He isn’t the biggest fan of the idea of my sister moving in with us because of that. He said he wants me here because I’m his girlfriend that he wants to marry and he’s ready to make space for me in his life/home but not my sister.
I understand this but I still felt a bit hurt and frustrated by it because I don’t want my sister to be so stressed and/or homeless. He did say if it came to her being homeless he would let her stay but there would be a time limit and she’d have to pay $500 a month to him. I don’t think she would go for that and I feel like it would make her angry so I haven’t offered it that(since it’s also a last resort in my bf’s eyes). I know that it’s wrong but I’m finding myself getting a bit upset with my bf for how much he is opposed to having her stay(even though I understand and respect his feelings). I won’t force it on him. It’s his place after all.
My sister is just getting increasingly anxious and mad at me and I don’t even hear this from her because she doesn’t talk to me about it. I hear it from my older sister(who she talks to). She is able to go stay with my dad(as my older sister also lives with him)but they don’t have a close relationship with and doesn’t want to do that in the slightest.
She said I don’t care about her and never did and she seems like she never wants to talk to me again. I’m just torn because now I’m second guessing myself and wondering if I am making the right call to move in with my bf or not. I worry that if I move in, I will no longer have a relationship with my sister because she will cut me out of her life. I also feel like if I stay I will be miserable because I won’t be able to freely work on my illustration goals and move closer to becoming a wife and mom in the future.
Do I stay to continue to help my sister out do I move in with my bf?

2023.05.29 04:09 trimini_brisket Current wait times for new Ninja 400 ABS?
Anyone who's taken delivery on a new Ninja 400 ABS, what was your wait time from ordering? I've called in to multiple dealers and all are giving me vague "months" answers and trying to sell me the non-ABS version or a 650 ABS.
