Grimes sisters cause of death

My grandma is dying. She broke her hip about a month ago and has been in rehab and a nursing home since getting out of the hospital. Now her health is declining and she probably won’t make it past this next week. I can’t be there with her because we are in the middle of moving and have to be out by Wednesday. At least my mom and her sisters are there with her.
Speaking of moving, we sold the house last week and we have to be out really soon. It’s only me and my dad moving all of our stuff one car load at a time across town to a house that’s still under construction so the transition will be a bit rocky for a few more months.
We have a couple 8 month old retriever puppies that are more than a handfull. We can’t hardly let them into the backyard because it’s been raining and they go digging and swimming in the mud and bring it inside. They also chewed a hole in the wall tonight for whatever reason and that stressed out my dad quite a bit. They have so much energy. I walk them about an hour and a half pretty hard every day and then play with their toys on and off throughout the day as well. They just love to destroy shit. We love them to death but they are extremely hard to train and barely respond to treats.
Adding all of this on top of my chronic headaches that have gotten worse over the last couple years and I’m just in a really stressful time. I know it will pass but it just sucks right now and I need to vent it a bit.
That’s all I guess.

Most of my close relationships (any kind) ends with me distancing them or we end up in toxic fights.
I was raised in a very lonely household with no cousins nor siblings. My parent had mental issues making her very turbulent. I still remember coming home when I was 10 years old with my mother holding a knife to her wrist.
I'm used to things my way or no way. I also have a hard time sharing myself with anyone. Relationships require sacrifice and empathy.
I've covert narcissism and BPD, and a disability. I've also been with toxic people who took me as a joke.
I want children some day, but I fear my turbulent self will psychologically damage them. I don't want a romance partner until I'm healthier, again.

So my ex and I started seeing each other in August 2022 and broke up this January (2023). After roughly 6 months of dating, I wasn't able to really commit to anything and had a lot of insecurities that led to a breakdown between us where I put too much pressure on her to kind of show/help me experience what life/partying was like as an early-20 year old because that was a big area I felt I had missed out on.
Honestly, when we met I didn't even want to be dating anyone, just having fun and experience single life/hooking up with people. Mostly because I was going through a divorce at the time (first time being single as an adult), and really wasn't ready to jump back into a serious relationship. Since we broke up I've been in therapy and working on myself, and I think I am at the point where I do want to get back into dating for a relationship.
Obviously, I want to try again with the woman that I fell for when I was actively trying not to fall for anyone. But at this point I'm not sure what to do or say to her besides just asking her if she's willing to catch up and go on a walk or something so we can talk. I'm nervous that she'll say no and absolutely crush me because this woman is really what caused me to realize I needed therapy and I had issues to work out, and I know that a lot of the motivation for me doing that was because I wanted to be in a better spot so I could be happy with myself, but also because I wanted to get into a place where I could try to date her seriously.
Does anyone have advice on what kind of things I should say or what I can do to help myself? Just in case she turns me down or replies with something like she'd be open to catching up but doesn't want to consider getting back together.

I only started reading a little over 2 years ago and it's been one of the best things I've decided to pick up on a whim. I began my journey with A Game of Thrones, a decision that I would soon find to potentially be a mistake once I realized how complicated the series was. Perhaps not the most beginner friendly thing. But I was in love with the plot and the characters and the world, so over the course of a period of time I'm not comfortable sharing out of embarrassment, I eventually got through it.
Books 2 and 3 of the series went quicker and I found myself enjoying the books more and more, book 3 especially. I read all 3 of these books back to back so I decided to take a break from the series there to explore what other books had to offer. I read Project Hail Mary and Six of Crows, and both were a very fun experience.
When I returned to the series I noticed something though. I found it much more difficult to get through book 4 than any of the others, for reasons I was not able to place then. I thought I had just soiled my reading comprehension ability by reading two other easier books and now I couldn't read this. Still, I trudged through it.
I took another break there to read Crooked Kingdom and now I'm back to book 5, A Dance with Dragons. And it's been a nightmare. It's been months and I'm not even 300 pages in cause its so hard to find motivation to pick it up. I'm noticing specific things about the writing that I absolutely hate. Chapters take way too long to get to the point and sometimes there is no point. Like I just read a Davos chapter where LITERALLY nothing noteworthy happened. And I'm just sick of it man, I've honestly considered dropping the book but I'm so close to the conclusion (for now) of this series. I really don't know what to do, every reading session feels like wading through molasses. I can only read a chapter or 2 at a time and have to take frequent breaks to check my phone or to just sit and contemplate for a bit why I'm still even reading this.
I'm not necessarily looking for solutions or suggestions although you're certainly welcome to share any. I just wanted to vent about this and to see if other people have similar opinions. I've heard that books 4 and 5 are where the series fell off so maybe I'm not crazy. But there's always a voice in the back of my mind telling me that the only reason it's such a slog is because I'm not smart enough to handle all the little complexities of the book. Idk man

Hey guys. I used to play minecraft a TON back in 2011-2015. I spent tons of hours building a few maps and had transferred them to a new mac at one point. Fast forward to this year and I've started getting emails that I needed to migrate my mojang account to microsoft. This reminded me of all the fun I used to have building those worlds, so I followed these steps, updated minecraft, etc. but alas. None of my old maps were there. I've checked application support, but there's no minecraft folder. I've searched my mac for the keyword "minecraft" and there's nothing besides the application itself.
It's been a long time since I played, but I have no memory of ever deleting these worlds. Any idea what might have happened / anyone ever have encounter a similar situation? I assume it's a lost cause, but if anyone has any ideas how I could recover these, tis greatly appreciated. (I am running a harddrive deepscan, BTW, but doubtful it'll come up with anything.)

How do I move on? I (f/25) have recently stopped seeing and speaking to someone (m/36) who has been a massive part of my life for 3 years. First friends then relationship. We spoke constantly. I've never felt a love like it. We both said we didn't know love could feel like this until it did. It was safe and comfortable from the get go. We had a hard time for a while and iust haven't came back from it.
We haven't spoken in a week now as I told him if he can't commit to me I can no longer speak to him. It hurts too much being so unsure in something which was once so stable and comfortable. He constantly said he missed me and loved me but was unsure if it's the right thing to do going forward and didn't want to cause anymore hurt between us. As much as I love him, not knowing was killing me and my mental health was taking a hit.
ladore him and I don't want to move on but I need to. I've not cried about it for a while now but every day he's the first thing I think of and the last. Everything is him, smells, tastes, sounds. I don't know how I can ever be attracted to anyone that's not him, how I can ever love someone that's not him. It doesn't seem possible. How do I stop this? How do I stop feeling like this?
TIdr; can't get over my ex, help!?

sorry, I just need to share this door knock experience I had today.
I just had the Jehovah's Witnesses call. One of them knew my deceased mother and myself though I can't recall his name but I was surprised they called. I've been waiting for this but still my heart was beating fast. After my pimi father passed away my elderly pimi mother lived here with me until her death a couple years ago due to not accepting a blood transfusion. When I heard the knock on the door I was surprised since I had been through the angry phase of grief and leaving a cult so the local JW’s knew my feelings. I’ve since calmed down and am now probably more in the activism phase having spent time recently talking to the JW’s on the carts, usually until they left the area, or until I got bored and left. I was still surprised one of them would venture back to my place. Anyway we caught up about mum initially then started talking about the bible. I tried to ask what evidence there was for the bible being a true document from God and they talked about the resurrection being evidence, so I asked for proof but they just pointed to the bible so I said that the bible makes lots of claims but how do you know they’re true, it says that God created plants before the sun and bee's...thousands of years apart, despite it saying “an evening and a morning a new day” after each creative day so why would they not be 24 hours days. Even your creation video online says it was written from a human perspective but they're not 24 hour days? They kept talking about water above and waters below and that they cleared to reveal the sun. I showed them the flat earth model on my phone and said read it again looking at that picture and you'll see it's talking about a flat earth model.
They disagreed but couldn't defend it so kept saying the same thing. I had my bible by this time and my "was life created" brochure and tablet with the references from the brochure. I tried to argue the bible's account of creation was flawed and not scientific. The creative order is wrong and doesn't work creating plants before the sun and bee's. They kept trying to say that there were waters above that filtered the sun despite me showing them verse 16 where it says God made the sun and moon…on day 4, not made it visible. They said that it was just a summary of the previous day so I pointed out that day 3 ends at vs 13 and day 4 ends at vs 19 so wouldn't everything between be what happened on day 4? They wouldn’t agree and I forgot to ask them about why the creation order is different in Chapter 2 from vs 4 but if they come back I’ll be able to save that one.
Anyway I then showed then the “Was life created” brochure and asked why the Watchtower misquotes scientists and showed them the quote of Wolf-Ekkehard Lonnig in the paper “mutation breeding, evolution and the law of recurrent variation” where they add a capital “M” and mine quote a section to say that “Mutations…” do not create new species when the paper actually says that it is not viable…not that it’s not possible.
I tried to ask them what the Watchtower had done to show them that God supports them. What evidence has the WT supplied? The men that say they represent God but have to lie to provide evidence of his existence like in the brochure I showed them. They tried to say that they supported people in natural disasters so I had two questions, 1, show that they helped anyone that wasn’t a JW and 2. Show exactly in their financial records which disasters they gave to and how much? I said that other organizations did a lot more at natural disasters so does that mean that God is behind those groups instead or as well? Again I came back to what evidence has the WT provided to support their claim that God supports them?
They then said that obviously I didn’t like them to which I quickly replied, “no, you’re wrong” I have no animosity to Jehovah's Witnesses, I feel sorry for them allowing the WT organization to continue to tell them lies that they won't fact check. I’m disappointed that they won’t research anything without using WT material and that you’re allowing the WT corporation to fleece you. I wanted to say like lambs to the slaughter but wanted to keep it light. I don’t understand why anyone would think being told to be sheeplike is a good thing. I continued, the WT buy and sell properties and make the Jehovah's Witnesses pay for them. They don’t provide any social services or aged care facilities. To which he agreed and said “No, they don’t”, I continued that they don’t care for the elderly in their homes, they provided nothing for my mother who was a lifelong member, I had to provide her a safe home in her golden years because the WT had taken every bit of spare money from my parents over their life and told my parents “don’t worry, the end of the world is coming soon”. They’re building a big new video studio in Australia but the end is so close, the last of the last days. To which he quickly added that it will be used after Armageddon so I said, Oh is God going to protect them, is that in the bible? Do you have a scripture to back that statement up? He didn’t so I continued, they’ve sold all those properties in NY and even the local KH making my elderly mother have to travel 10 times further to a local hall. Expect to be told that you need to buy them a new KH here to replace the one they sold, sometime soon and if the organization is growing why did they sell off the local KH?
He evaded that question by asking if I had ever brought up these views with my mother when she was alive and I said no. She was safe here in her golden years but I knew that you are told that if anyone says anything bad about the WT or questions it that you have to flee. If I had said anything to her I knew she would have tried to leave this safe environment. I returned to, what is it that proves to you that God supports the Watchtower? He tried to say that he follows Jesus but I said so without the WT you could still follow Jesus? But he didn’t reply to this and was starting to leave at this point. I said I really urge you to do some research outside the WT material. I looked him in the eye and said calmly, “you’re not going to do that are you?”. To which he admitted he wouldn’t, I nodded and said “I know” it’s a pity that you’ll continue to allow the WT to lie to you and the brochure “was life created” has many examples of how they twist things to say what they want it to say…but’s it just lie’s. I’m really sorry you won’t do any real research but you’re welcome to come back and talk some more about it, I really enjoyed our talk. Then I looked him in the eyes again and calmly said “you’re not going to come back, are you?”, to which he replied no as I expected.
If you’re the person that came to my door today and are reading this, please come back when you’re ready to talk some more. We don’t dislike Jehovah's Witnesses, we dislike that you’re being lied to by the Watchtower Organisation.
Stay safe friends.

I posted this to my Facebook as I posted Tate-related content there and upset but also pleased a few people so I wanted to make my mindset adjustment public. I'm gonna copy and paste it here with some extra stuff that I didn't want to say on my Facebook because it would shit-stirr my family but I truly want to get it off my chest a day spread my message.
After taking plenty of time to think about it. I've decided that I am no longer a supporter of Tate. When you're just another one of the many young man outcasted by society, having your masculinity blamed for everything wrong in your life, bullied by the popular kids in school, never having a girlfriend and being blamed for all of those things, it's easy to see why I fell for his trap.
Having already left Incels and decided I want to try to improve instead of just giving up, I saw a man who told you it's okay to be masculine, it's okay to want the hot chicks, it's okay to want to drive sports cars, it's okay to want to be rich, it's okay to want submissive wives, it's okay to want to fight, it's okay to be a man! It's very hard not to be drawn to it in a world that tells you these things are toxic and will keep you celibate, that this is the reason women aren't attracted to you. Tate comes along with his 4 wives, videos of him with women in bikinis, his big muscular physique, his hundreds of millions of dollars and his 4 world kick-boxing champion belts to prove that notion wrong.
"If I'm such a misogynist then how come I'm fuckin' and you're not fuckin'? If I'm such a misogynist then how come women are coming to me?"
"All I talk about is how men are better than women and I'm still fuckin' more pussy than you are."
It's hard to argue with that point. The answer is because being a misogynist doesn't stop you from being attractive.
But, that doesn't excuse it. Tate knows with his money, status, physique, influence, accolades and confidence that he can still have a plethora of shallow women at his disposal and still get away with spewing his sexist vitriol.
"Women should not be allowed to drive"
"Women have been trading sexual favours in exchange for career advancements for decades, it doesn't make it sexual assault just because of the metoo movement"- Response to Harvey Weinstein's scandal
"When women end up in senior management it's nothing but a shit-show and a bitch-fest"
"I'm a realist and when you're a realist, you're sexist. There's no way you can be rooted in reality and not be sexist"
"When a woman marries a man, she belongs to that man"
"I was getting on a plane and I could see through the cockpit that a female was the pilot and I took a picture and I said, ‘most women I know can’t even park a car, why is a woman flying my plane?"
"A woman cheating isn't even on the same level as a man cheating"
"Female promiscuity is disgusting and it has been looked down upon in every era of human history to the point where a female could be executed for it." "As they should be"- Another man on the podcast "Get the rocks"- Replied Tate
Men, there's nothing wrong with wanting to improve yourself! You can work out, figure out how to make money outside of employment, learn how to increase your testosterone, do NoFap, quit porn, jaw-maxing, eating clean, learning how to pick up women(and let's be honest, accepting that their advice on how to do so sucks 😅) learn a combat sport, have submissive women, be polygamous(as long as it's not deceptive). This is not cringe, it is called AMBITION! But here's the news flash:
YOU CAN DO THIS WITHOUT DEEANING WOMEN AND TRYING TO TAKE AWAY THEIR RIGHTS 🤯
Some people will call you cringe for doing this. Because they want to keep you on their level. Most women will say that you need to be a feminist or you will stay single and that self-improvement is cringe. But just laught it off, it doesn't matter. And no you don't have to be a feminist either. You can just be a respectful person who doesn't want to divert women's rights they are entitled to in the modern day.
The reason us sexless, emasculated, envious, unloved men felt compelled to him is because he offered a way out. A way out of the deception that you have to be feminine, emotional and deceived by fourth wave feminism to be accepted in society and have women attracted to you. This is a lie. When these young men fall for this lie, it becomes hard not to be angry and resentful when women do not act the way our parents, the education system and the media tells us they do. That they don't like the assholes, the bullies, the jocks, and yes... the MISOGYNISTS. We were told just being a nice guy who respects women is enough.
When this lie unravels, many unfortunately go one of 2 routes:
The red pill- Aiming for self-improvement and maximisation in every metric of your value(nothing wrong with that). But unfortunately then using this to control the women in your life and preach oppression to make things the way they used to be.
The black pill- Where men convince each other that they will never be able to obtain sex/relationships no matter what and their situation is inescapable, to just give up. Some of which tell others to rape women; some of which do. Some of which tell others to commit mass shootings; Some of which do.
Many men have now left the black pill because of Tate which is great and it is better they idolise him than murderers like Elliot Rodger and Alek Minassian or content creators like EggWhite and WheatWaffles. Some never were black-pilled but admire Tate for preaching masculinity and stoicism in a world that demonizes it. I will reiterate to those men- YOU CAN DO SO WITHOUT DEMEANING WOMEN
So why does Tate do this? 2 reasons:

1. He is a misogynist and wants women to be oppressed because he is threatened by their freedom and wants to enjoy the pleasure of seeing them controlled, at his service, being dependant on men, not being allowed to lead in any corporate or industrial organisations because he believes they are incompetent in doing so. He doesn't listen to his own rule here. But just because you want that and it is feels better to live that way as a man, doesn't necessarily mean you should do it.
   
2. He doesn't care about you. He really doesn't, he just wants to profit off you. He knew that targeting lost young men, a group that is hated, lonely and angry could be easily radicalised. Same as Hitler did with the Nazis by telling them it's okay to be German and then pointing the finger at Jews to blame them for all the injustice dealt toward them. It's a classic trick that is yet to fail.
   

Tate's mindsets are helpful in many ways:
"Do what needs to be done regardless of how you feel"
Beat Tate at his own game! Self-improve, do the hard work even if you don't feel like it! But draw the line with the misogyny because wven thought it FEELS tempting, comforting and easy to do so, doesn't mean you should. Having that said, it is painful for me to acknowledge I was wrong and deceived by this evil genius. It's also very satisfying to know that a certain someone was seeing me support ideologies I knew would never be approved of and that the brainwashing, abuse and manipulation I was subjected to wasn't working. I wanted to stick it to you and show you how wrong you were for trying to strip me of my masculinity. I hate that you will be releived I am moving on and respecting women and that you will feel justified in the way you treated me. But:
"The most important part of being a man is not doing what you want to do but doing what you have to do. Your feelings don't matter as a man!" -Tate
Thanks for reading 💚
The "certain someone" was my mother. She made me sleep with her until I was 14, walked around naked in front of me and encouraged me to do the same. She would tell me my penis was big when it is in fact under-average. She used to constantly make small-penis jokes, say misogynists, show-offs and even rapists were projecting their small dick insecurity. She also told me my bullies had small dicks. This hurt when I realised I had one myself but she wouldn't listen and insisted me it was above average for my age and I'm still growing. My father on the other hand would open the door on me in the shower, wave his finger at me with a stupid smile and tell me I will never impress any girls with a small one. I of course didn't wanna say this on my Facebook with my real identity and my sister thinks my Mum is some kind of saint who can do no wrong and nags me for a justification for ghosting her and I obviously don't want to provide the details because a; I have to admit I have a small penis in order to do so and b; I know I will probably be accused of lying or just gaslight me and say it's all in my head.
The worst thing she ever did was when I told her this 13 year old disabled girl had a crush ok me and I was being bullied for it so she told me "I don't think I can trust you to not have sex with her. You have high testosterone and are treating girls like sex-objects." This is difficult to say but I remember never loving my mother again after she accused me of being a paedophile who would take advantage of a disabled THIRTEEN year old girl.
We suspect she has Munchausen Syndrome and she told me I was sick my whole life with things I wasn't. Every morning I had to wake up and drink celery juice with no breakfast be cause she was convinced I was poisoned with toxins I was given at the hospital as a baby after I got bitten by our cat.
She told me I was gluten and dairy intolerant, I have since eaten these things and am fine.
I had developmental echolalia throughout my adolescence(if you don't know, similar to Tourette's syndrome, causes involuntry ticks and is common in autistic pubsescents). Both my parents and my sister told me I was doing it for attention and I could control it. I would get bullied in school for it and they would continue to tell me I could control it or to just "cover my mouth" when I do it.
She told me that my sexual urges were unnatural and for a "boy like me", I should not be "Seeing women as sex objects": This was her reaction to me telling her I would get erections and sometimes ejaculate when I saw sexy women in skimpy clothing and I tried to refuse going to the beach because of the women in bikinis but she would still force me to. I would usually rub one out before leaving if I had time or try to go in the water until the boner went down.
She also assured me before high-school that because I'm so handsome and "wasn't like the other boys"(respectful gentleman she apparently raised me to be) that I would be very popular with all the girls. When this didn't happen, she said it was because I must street them like sex objects.
She told me I was "addicted to masturbating": Apparently 4-5 times a day was addiction which in reality is just normal all teenaged boy stuff.
I explained that I was attracted to the hot women and not the nerdy ones like she told me to be and asked why this was. She told me it was because I had entitlement problems and it was due to my high testosterone. She said to avoid the hot ones because they are "too much drama" and that no matter what my girlfriend looks like, I will enjoy sex with her just as much because the emotattraction is what counts and hit girls will only manipulate me and take me away from her.
Because of this she would cry and hug me, telling me I was going to grow up to be a suicidal sex addict. She then went to the adult store and bought me a fleshlight as per my father and his friend's suggestion. She told me it would satisfy my urges and stop the spontaneous ejaculatiobs in public. I told her it wasn't do she threw it out and kept buying different variants, tryto find tge one that would work. None of course did.
She would tell me I needed to be saved to prevent myself from taking advantage of all the women with bad fathers who would want to sleep with me and I couldn't resist it because my testosterone was too high. She told me I needed treatment for my "hypersexuality". I told her I was hesitant and she would say "I don't know why you want to be a sex-addict. Why do you want to live like this? Why do you want to be a misogynist who abuses women? I could never deal with losing my boy, so please get the help you need.
She then took me to accupunctural therapists to give me treatment for hypersexuals that constricts blood vessels to the genitals and would convince him to administer it by telling him the same bullshit she told me.
I now look at my small penis and hate her knowing that it could've been even just a little bit bigger if it weren't for her "treatment" and I will never forgive her for the physical and emotional damage she caused me. There is so much more I could get in to about how she and my father too abused me but it's gonna be too long.
I always get worried when I see mothers who say they want their son to be "different".
"I don't want him to rape, be a patriarch, stalk women who reject him, embrace his emotional side, be attracted to strong and independent women" etc.
To those mothers. I am warning you, allow your son to embrace his masculinity, teach him to be stoic, if he has a father figure, let him influence him as an adolescent, let him be attracted to who he is attracted to. Don't be like my mother or he will resent you, he will he scarred for what you do.
Thank you if you read this far. Feel free to follow me for more and comment your thoughts.

Before anyone freaks out, I’ve grown up being very immature for my age. Even now I’m still immature for my age. Like think of me as someone 2 years behind emotionally. I think it’s the way I’ve acted growing up that caused this.
When I was 18, the youngest girls I could feel attraction to were 14. A lot of 18 was spent as a high school senior, still living the life of a school kid. I was very immature for my age, I didn’t feel like an adult, driving and jobs felt like perks and not necessities, and my school peers were 14-18, all of us living the same school kid life.
When I entered college and was still 18, I lost interest in 14 year olds since there was zero possibility of them being in high school at the same time as me. When I was in high school at 18, there were freshman that were 14. So the limit was now 15.
Upon turning 19, I immediately lost interest in anyone under 16. The idea of being attracted to someone who couldn’t even drive or get a job, was like, yeah fuck no.
The farther I’m into 19, and the more adulthood I experience, the more my attraction towards 16-17 year olds diminishes. Now I have very little interest in them, and my strongest attractions are going towards legal adults. Like stronger by a significant amount. I’m paying way more attention to people of legal age than I would ever 16-17.
In terms of media, I’m finding it very hard to relate to anyone still in high school (even 18 in school), and a lot of my watching preferences are gearing towards adult programs. Most of what I’m interested in watching are shows about adults just like me. School life doesn’t interest me that much anymore. I didn’t quit watching kids shows, they just aren’t my primary interest anymore.
Not that I didn’t watch adult shows before I graduated high school, I did, but the majority were kids shows (like characters in the K-12 education system.)
I can see where this is going. By the time I’m 20, 100% for sure, I’m no longer going to be attracted to anyone under 18. I’m really looking forward to this. Having 100% of the people I’m interested in be of legal age. If not when I turn 20, sometime while I’m 20. There’s no way I’ll reach 21, and still be into a minor in school.
I really didn’t expect this.
When I was 18, I couldn’t have predicted this, maybe because a lot of it was spent in high school when I was still basically a child, and now I’m actually an adult so things are changing? Or am I just maturing a whole lot and it doesn’t feel like it.
I know I have matured, but things are moving so quickly, it’s unbelievable. Like holy crap.
TLDR; So yeah.

A few years ago my grandfather died. He had several real estate partnerships he was a part of that went into a trust for his estate then after the estate was settled into a trust for his daughter, my aunt, with me as the trustee.
Now one od those partnerships sold its real estate holding and my Aunt received a distribution and Im attempting to figure out if I need to make a tax payment. Does she get a stepped up cost basis at some point, either my grandfathers death or when the trust was created? How do I establish the cost basis? Ive spoken to several people who seemed like they should know and theyve all said different things.
Here is part of the response from the managing partners.
"We do not know yet what the total taxable income will be from the sale as we are still dealing with some outstanding issues and a final K1 will not be issued for a couple of years since we have to hold on to some funds in case uninsured claims arise from the time period that we were owners. Her distribution itself will not be taxable but she will have 5.625% of the taxable income from the sale. Most of the income will be long-term gains. But it's best to have a CPA give advice on this."
I am unsure how to interpret this as he says it will not be taxable but then goes on to say it will be long term capital gains.
Any guidance or help would be appreciated.

I 20F have had a few part time jobs here and there but nothing consistent. My AP was always curious about how much money I have, always asking and I would answer. But now that I’m studying full time I’m barely working and depending on my savings. He knows that. He doesn’t need any money, if anything he’s in the position to help me out when I’ve gone through my savings. During tax time I had brought a book with me to our tax agent which had my details in it. I believe my AP remembered about it and looked through it. He took a photo of my banking details and sent it to one his group chats on WhatsApp (although not savvy enough to realise I was also in this chat). Usually I never look at the photos shared in it cause they’re often related his work. But for some reason I opened and downloaded the image to see my own bank details. I checked my account and there was a login made at that exact time the picture was taken and shared. I casually asked him about it and he said I must’ve been hacked or something. So I asked him did you log in and he adamantly denied and later deleted the image in the chat.
Feeling weirded out, this was so invasive and I’m assuming he thought he found another way to monitor me.

Alt path Germany, Ironman, no other settings changed, won the civil war, got Victoria as ruler, but France decided to become Fascist immediately.
So I cant do the Carte Blanche focus against France because even after I exiled all my communists, France only hit 40% communist. Also, the UK kept Chamberlain and has disbanded the empire under Halifax and is probably going to also go communist very soon now. And just because why not, Japan declared war on Yugoslavia.
Its 1941 and world tension is only about 31% now that Japan is fighting the US.
My question is the game not worth playing because if you're going for the HRE, you should be able to declare on France which then causes world tension to spike and let you justify against the rest of Europe or do you just sit around and wait for the USSR to do something that kicks off all the anti-Comi tern pacts? Or another way, even with France and the UK despite being on historical, does doing alt path Germany just cause everyone else to go haywire?
If I need to just restart, should I also do some of the industrial and military focuses before I start the civil war in Germany? I immediately started the war and was done in June 1936. I also didnt execute the former leaders I kept them around. That choice didnt cause France to turn, like they all escaped and went to France instead lol?
Any feedback would be appreciated. This is my first alt history run ever so Im not sure how the AI tends to react to things not happening as expected.

My sister (F12) has been suicidal and depressed for like 2 or 3 years now. I (F16) tried telling my parents this and they said it's a phase everyone goes through. At the end of April this year, my sister got hella depressed and I told her to talk to her school counselor but all they did was say sweet words like "thx for telling me you've come to the right place" and give her breathing exercises. During this time I was reported to the police and evaluated in the hospital for "suicidal ideation" or some shit like that (I'm fine I think...). I took the opportunity to ask my parents for a therapist since they've always said no and now that I'm in the hospital, my words would have more weight. And it did work cuz now they're open to getting a therapist. Only problem is, It's early June and they haven't gotten one yet and I've reminded them countless times. A few days after, my sister also asked my parents to get her evaluated and the result was outpatient (stay at the hospital for like 6 hours a day for therapy), but my parents didn't send her because it was crazy expensive (1000$ per day). IN CONCLUSION, we got nothing out of that.
All of that was a month ago and my parents just tried forgetting that all of that happened . A week ago, I told my therapist (that my school offered for free) that my sister was feeling suicidal again and she broke confidentiality and told my parents and all they did was suggest we all go out to eat and hang out at the mall :)))).
They have no sense of urgency and it's making me super nervous. I'm especially nervous because my sister rants to me about this all the time and in less than two weeks I have to go to this out of state math camp. I won't see her for 6 weeks and it's going to be very hard to talk to her and help her. I also had this thought that she might kill herself when I'm gone and it's making me lose sleep today.
Idk what to do because I feel like if I call the police, everything that happened in April (first paragraph) will repeat and nothing will be solved. What do I do???

I just need to get this off my chest real quick. 16/f. Growing up I’ve usually been considered very quiet and introverted and I can’t even pinpoint where it even came from. In my childhood I remember being very quiet and reclusive but not because I was shy or hesitant about meeting people, I think it was just because in my mind I never really made a mental note to try to talk to people and make more friends. I have very hazy memories of my childhood but I remember always feeling ostracized and alone. I remember being both having stages in my childhood where I was talkative and having stages where I hardly talked to anybody, but I was only very talkative when I was extremely young. I vaguely remember being bullied in elementary school and maybe that caused me to be more introverted, but it didn’t stop there.
In middle school I was extremely quiet. I was also kind of nerdy and I’ve been described as being ugly at that point in my life. But I wasn’t like that all the time. I remember there were times where I would actually be talkative and extroverted, even though my interests were still very nerdy and niche, and I was considered to be one of the weird kids.
Towards the end of my sophomore year of high school I kind of glowed up and sort of became very pretty. For one in my life I actually started feeling more confident in myself and I began to be more outgoing and expressive. Being expressive and speaking my mind with ease just feels so natural to me. I’m most comfortable being expressive and talkative, yet for some reason sometimes I’ve always been told that I’m really quiet and reserved especially by my family. And I get why, I really am quiet and reserved around my family because I don’t trust them. I noticed that I talk way more around my best friend’s family than I do my own, and my friend’s dad would describes me as “wacky and wild.”
It’s kind of hard to express where I’m going with this, but anyways. Even when I’m very talkative and expressive I can be perceived as outlandish and I’ve been explicitly told that “I have no social fear” and I often do and say inappropriate things without meaning to. But I also have low self esteem and sometimes it makes me want to be quieter and more reserved when I don’t feel confident. And sometimes no matter what I do I’m always perceived as shy and introverted.
It doesn’t seem like a bad thing at all to me but whenever that kind of remark is made towards me I just feel insulted and like I’m slapped in the face. All my life it has never been a positive thing for me, and I’ve felt humiliated and ashamed because of it. It’s always felt like an insult towards me or a way to deride me. I have no prejudice towards other people who are introverted and quiet, but I just can’t accept being perceived that way by other people. Every time someone calls me that or comments about that it drives me crazy. It feels like such a heavy insult.
But when I feel like I’m being my true self, my real true authentic self I’m naturally outgoing and bold. But a lot of the time when I’m this way I make a lot of mistakes. I accidentally offend people and I just have no inhibitions. I speak my mind and end up embarrassing and humiliating myself because of it.
I’m Asian myself and I can speak on behalf of my own experiences. A lot of Asian older people especially tend to comment on my “quietness” and talk to others about me when I’m literally in front of their face. I feel like I’m just quiet as more of a reflex. Whenever I receive comments like that I just feel angry. I feel like I’m treated like a pet and not with dignity.
Maybe I hate it when I’m considered quiet because it brings up all the insecurity and pain from my upbringing, but I also wish I could just scream this isn’t who I am. I’m not truly like this at all. I don’t know. Maybe I’m in denial even.
I just feel very disgusted and ashamed of myself.
So it feels like my quietness sometimes is more of a way of protecting myself than who I really would be if I was confident 24/7.
I have all the usual hallmarks of being an introvert too. I am good at drawing and I crochet occasionally. I also love reading and I like singing. I dress in a very feminine and subdued way. I have a strong imagination, which I feel a bit insecure about from time to time.
None of this is very rational thinking and I know that. It just hurts so much feeling like I’m treated less or perceived as less than whenever I am quiet.
And when I’m talkative I’m inappropriate and off putting, a pariah.

I’ve had tinnitus over a year now which was caused by fucking nothing.
It happened when I used to be on ADHD medication. A doctor told me the medication caused it and recently another told me this wasn’t the case.
It’s so loud and recent got louder I’m going into horrible outbursts of anger and can’t sleep properly. I’m practically yelling in my sleep. I’ve been able to deal with it well up until a few days ago and have no idea why, I just was to rip my ears off and scream.
First I was told my tinnitus was due to an infection and should go away in 1 week. It didn’t.
Then I was told my tinnitus was caused by earwax and should go away within a few hours after visiting the doctor, it didn’t.
Now I’ve got this shit screeching at me when I just want to sleep, as well as a heartbeat in both ears.
Idk what the point of this post was, I’m struggling to think atm

(English is not my first language so sorry if something doesn't make sense)
I came out to my family (father, mother and sister) like a week ago. My dad and sis took it ok, they don't hate me like I tought it would happen so even if they still use she/her pronouns with me, I don't really care much for now since a win is a win.
My mother on the other side has always been transphobic, it mostly comes from a mix of ignorance and religion. I'm trying to answer most of her questions and I've tried to explain to her what gender dysforia is, I told her to also google it, a big mistake since now she is reading more transphobic stuff off the internet. Now she came to my room claiming she is "trans-age" and has "age dysforia", she later went into a discourse of how getting old is something scary but "It's nature, and we should accept it as it is" and I just told her to shut up.
Like, it's just so stupid I couldn't even begin to explain how it is not the same thing. Also I don't know if I'm being oversensitive but it's like she is making fun of me? Like she was laughing while she said the first thing and ended the convo saying I shouldn't get mad with her "real identity".
What I'm supossed to say to her if she pulls that again?

I'd honestly figured for a long while that my mom wouldn't feel happy at my wedding, mostly since it would be a gay one. Now, I'm not engaged, let alone even dating, but the topic came up in passing and for all my suspicions, hearing her say it aloud hurt a lot more than I was expecting.
She disapproved of my brother and sister-in-law moving in before they were married to the point of almost not getting them a housewarming gift (my dad talked her into it.) She was pretty vocal about not wanting to even look like she supported it, and ever since then, I realized she could never be at my wedding and not be miserable, in turn making me miserable.
What is surprising is how openly she admitted it, not only because it would be gay but because it wouldn't be a temple wedding. (See above: my brother and his nevermo wife. She barely managed to go to their wedding.)
I also had the unfortunate timing of watching the newest Spiderverse movie that night, and without spoiling too much, let's just say that any of the scenes with parents broke me. The sting of it all hadn't sunk in until that moment.
My ranting got out of hand, so hopefully my point still stands. It just disgusts me how casually the church, and by extension its members, gatekeeps marriage itself. Anything less than a temple wedding is unworthy of even attending.
TLDR: MorMom tells me to my face she doesn't want to be at my future wedding.
