Does macy take afterpay in store

It's kinda been known that taking breaks from this game, or at least from the parts that you don't like, does wonders for the longevity of the players enjoyment of this game. And previously, I've taken this into consideration and taken some breaks of my own back in 1.x and 2.x, and I did come back to the came with reinvigorated interest. However, since the last week or two of last patch, I think I've taken my longest break from this game. The difference this time, however, is that I have no desire to continue playing this time. Since taking this break, my attitudes towards my hobbies, such as watching anime and playing other games, has improved dramatically, but every time I see something genshin related (stupid "controversies", genshin dick-riding, genshin hate that borders on obsession) I feel an immense amount of disappointment or frustration, for lack of better terms, at the state of this game. And it bums me out, as this game was my favorite game over the last few years and I had the intention of seeing it through.
And I know the obvious response is to go "well just don't engage with the community!" This is excellent advice, and is honestly something a lot of people need to hear. However, my frustration at everything genshin related has it's roots in the game itself and my dissatisfaction with the current state of the game (poor *kit* design, a drop in event quality after 3.0, etc.). All of this is my subjective opinion of course, and people are free to disagree with it.
Anyways, I'm just glad I have enough wishes stockpiled (hopefully I do after wishing for Shenhe real quick) to guarantee myself a character when one finally interests me again. I just wanted to get some of this out there since I feel like there's only certain things you're allowed to be dissatisfied with in this game.
And back to the point I was going to make before I got carried away, how do you guys feel about taking extended breaks from the game? Have you ever considered it? If you've taken breaks, how did you feel coming back to the game (if you even came back at all)?
Important to note: The only genshin content that has yet to elicit these emotions from me is good Keqing and Aether content. I will gladly take back every last word I've said here today if I can get good official Keqing content (merch, in game content, etc.)

My dad retired last April and had two months of enjoying his well earned retirement. During this time mum pushed him into going to the dr’s about some pains he had in his side. Cut to nearly a year later, after rounds of chemo and radiotherapy the cancer is too aggressive. He just got out of hospital yesterday after a bout of pneumonia and the cancer has further spread to his spine. He doesn’t have long left at all. During this time my girlfriend and I have suffered two miscarriages the most recent was earlier this week on Mother’s Day (of all the days). To say it’s been a hard year is an understatement.
Dad wanted to enjoy the summer months as he wanted a holiday with mum (he will be too uncomfortable to travel) but most recently, he wants to have a days peace fishing on the lake and to take his 11 week old puppy (Yorkshire terrier for those who wondered) for a walk. He isn’t really fit for either of these but I want to make happen for him. He’s too stubborn for a wheelchair to walk the dog and the pain in his back is too unbearable for him to be able to sit to fish even for a couple of hours - let alone the walk from the car down to the lake.
Does anyone have any practical ideas how I can help him achieve one of his last wishes to walk his little puppy?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
P.s fuck cancer

I have a small flock of 8 week old chickens. One of them, Lucy, is very special. Her bottom beak is tiny, and her top beak hangs over, preventing her from eating very efficiently. She is very tiny, about half the size of her sisters. She still looks about 3 weeks old. from about week 3 to week 7 i was helping her eat blended up food and water with a dropper and that got her through, and recently she seems to have figured out eating! she regularly has a full crop and appears to be growing a bit. However, I recently noticed that she does not have a tongue in her mouth, and when she eats, I can see her tongue moving back and forth inside of what appears to be a little sack under her beak. Its very weird. If I push up on the little sack her tongue pops up and hangs out of her mouth, but I can't seem to get it to lay flat and stay in the beak. It appears to be permanently curled up. I'm not sure if i should maybe take her to a vet to have it cut out, keep trying to pull it out, or just leave it be since she seems to be okay.

Thanks for reading!

Hey, I have a quick question. I currently trading 35k FTMO capital and I also got into social trading tools as well for managing my FTMO accounts and the challanges I am currently taking at the same time. My best friend who at the same time is my neighbor also is into trading but is not profitable yet. To better our financial situation I wanted to take a challange for him and trade the account as well until he is profitable. He will do the investment and I will trade and split the money with him at the end if we take profits, which also makes a lot of sense for me for tax reasons.
To come back to the question: I have the fear that my FTMO accounts will be banned if I add his accounts to my social trading tools because we live in the same area and share the same internet.
Does anyone know when the accounts would be banned and how to get around that? Because I know trading copying for others is actually not allowed with FTMO.

To fix a bad credit score, understand the basic contributors to credit—including whether you pay your bills on time and whether you carry balances on credit cards—and identify the factors that are making a negative impact. Checking for errors on your credit report is also an important step. [[email protected]]
Your credit score is a three-digit number, usually between 300 and 850, that's based on the information in your credit report. It's valuable for lenders, who need to understand how likely you are to repay money you borrow.
While there are several credit scoring models with different score ranges, 700 or higher is generally considered a good credit score, while 800 or higher is excellent. If your score isn't quite in that range, here's how to get it back in shape. [[email protected]] What Is a Bad Credit Score?
On the FICO® Score☉ 8 scale of 300 to 850, one of the credit scores lenders most frequently use, a bad credit score is one below 670. More specifically, a score between 580 and 669 is considered fair, and one between 300 and 579 is poor.
VantageScore®, another credit scoring model which was developed by the three main credit bureaus (Experian, TransUnion and Equifax), also uses a scale ranging from 300 to 850. But its definitions associated with each score range vary slightly. A VantageScore from 601 to 660 is considered fair, from 500 to 600 is poor, and from 300 to 499 is very poor.
The higher your credit score, the more likely you are to qualify for credit, and at better interest rates and terms. If your score is low, it can be difficult to obtain affordable credit or to get approved for a loan or credit card at all. [[email protected]] You can think of maintaining good credit as preventive medicine. You don't know when something might come up, like a breakup that means having to find a new apartment fast, but good credit can help you handle any affliction with less hassle.
A bad credit score can lead to these roadblocks:
Potential rejection for loans and lines of credit. Difficulty getting a rental application approved. Required security deposits. Trouble getting a new cell phone contract. Issues during an employment background check. Higher insurance premiums in some states. How to Improve a Bad Credit Score
Credit scores aren't static; they change when the information in your credit report changes. That means you can take control of your financial health now, and make moves that will positively affect your credit scores. Here's how. [[email protected]]

Credit mix, or the range of credit types you have in your name, makes up 10% of a FICO® Score. You don't need to take out a new loan merely to diversify your credit mix. But dependably managing a credit card is one of the most effective ways to maintain a good credit score. So if you haven't opened your own credit card in the past, consider applying for a secured credit card, which will require a deposit that typically also becomes your credit limit.

How long does it take them to give you a permit for classes in the physics department?

I happened upon this website a few days ago. It's similar to floxies, but is basically a patient-led effort to self-treat B6 Toxicity induced small fiber neuropathy. I went through their Facebook group and was amazed at how similar the stories are -- all the WEIRD symptoms that can be byproducts of FQT neuropathy - the bulging veins, the blood pooling, the burning, the dizziness, the GI issues, etc. -- they get worse when the weather changes or when they get their periods, it takes them years and years to heal -- these people are suffering from almost exactly the same thing we do.
So I was even more surprised to read how they treat it. They essentially believe in the letting the body heal itself over time (up to many years in some cases), by first cutting out B6 supplementation (no surprise there), and then improving blood flow to the nerves through:

• Exercise - with an emphasis on aerobic exercise alongside resistance
• Hydrating with 3+ liters of water a day
• Supporting that hydration with electrolytes -- sodium and potassium
• Quitting supplementation altogether because of unwanted impacts (!)
• Avoiding vasodilators

The last point is fascinating to me. They claim the reason blood pooling or bulging veins happen is because we have low blood volume combined with autonomic problems with vasoconstriction. If you vasodilate with low blood volume, the body will not be able to nourish tissues with poor circulation: like, for instance, nerves. One of their forbidden supplements is Magnesium. Other vasodilators they say to avoid: teas, niacin, curcumin, lemon balm, l-arginine, and marijuana. Symptoms get worse around periods, they claim, because estrogen and progesterone are vasodilators. The daily circadian rhythm, involving as it does cortisol (vasoconstrictor), melatonin (vasodilator), gaba (vasodilator), could explain why nerve issues can vary throughout the day.
I do in fact have low blood pressure (one sign of low blood volume), and in fact an FQT expert told me I need to improve my blood volume... but I didn't really follow up on the regular salt. Now I'm reconsidering.
I hope this could be helpful for longterm neuro FQT folk like myself. It's at least something new to try.
What do you think?

I really need some advice ❤️
This is personal but I didn’t know where else to go to get some sense of clarity… validation or whatever. I mostly just want to know that I’m not crazy (or maybe I am lol). So some back story — I’ve been with my husband for 6 years. He was wonderful at first and throughout my whole pregnancy with our first child. However, I found out he had been cheating on me the majority of that pregnancy when our child was around 3 months old. Another woman anonymously messaged to tell me that they had been meeting up at his work. I, of course, was extremely upset and begged him to stay and he said he did it because he felt “unloved.”
So we work opposite shifts. I’m a school teacher and he works 2nd shift so he can go to work after I get home so one of us is always with the kids. Over the years, he’s given me less and less money for bills to where it’s almost only $100 every so often. He never wants to spend time with the kids (except for when he’s at home and I’m at work). Our children beg for him to play but he stays in the game room all night (from the time I get home unless he’s working). Whenever I invite him to go somewhere with us, he rarely goes. If he does, he makes it miserable for everyone because he’s extremely negative and complains about everything. He’s rarely ever home and hangs out with friends or works out as soon I get home. When I’m off for the summer, we rarely see him. He also acts like husband and daddy of the year whenever we are around friends or family. 🤔
I’m not one for confrontation (and every time something is wrong I know he will get defensive and hateful towards me if I bring anything up). So he was staying out late with friends and I had messaged him saying “Why were you out so late? I was worried about you” and he called me at work cussing me out about how he can’t do anything right and nothing is good enough for me and he should just 🔫 himself (meanwhile our child is there with him the entire time) so I had my mom go get our child and take his 🔫. He stated it was a good thing she did because he planned on 🔫 himself after I got home. So I left him for several days and then we made up. Most recently, we were going somewhere (can’t remember where) and I had made a joke about something and he got defensive and hateful and started cussing me out in front of our now two kids. He was calling me a b***, etc. and screaming at me in my face. He went on and on about all the things I do wrong and how I am so mean and don’t even realize it. After I finally broke down and cried and told him everything I do for our family (and pay for) he got quiet and said he felt like an a*. He told our child that he was sorry and sometimes adults argue. Our child didn’t say anything but when we got home our child mentioned to my mom “Why did daddy yell at mommy and make her cry? It made me want to cry“ and that broke my heart. So fast forward to about a month ago. He started acting very strangely. No kisses before leaving for work. No more sexual activity (which was everyday for about a month). Nothing. Just all of a sudden. So I kept asking him what was wrong (multiple times on different days). He always responded with “Nothing. I’m fine” and then another time I got “Nothing I’ve just been smoking more (weed)”. So I said okay. Then, 2 weeks ago he approaches me to tell me “You’ve been asking me what’s wrong. The therapist I used to go to kept asking me why I was depressed. And I tried to work out, eat better, etc. to help my depression. It all comes back to one thing: my marriage. The kids give me anxiety and I’m overstimulated. We have nothing in common maybe a thing or two. We’re not compatible.” I asked if I could do anything to help, counseling or anything. He didn’t respond. I asked him to help me by staying until June (I’m a teacher) so I can find the kids daycare. So he never said much because he went to work right after that “conversation” and ever since then he has acted completely NORMAL like nothing has even happened. Texting me pictures during the day, making conversation about why he’s staying out so late every night, etc. He texted me one night saying he’d be out drinking until 5:30am. Like okay? Why is he even telling me this? Is this normal? Is it just me? Is he crazy? Am I crazy? It’s driving me mad and my nerves are so on edge. Any advice is welcome 😕💗 I don’t even think I included everything, but it’s a little glimpse. What do you think?
Thank you all for any and all advice. ❤️

Not sure the best place to post these, but I know I feel like I need to clarify some things about Christianity (at least in my opinion) that people get wrong both within the church and without. I was going to do a series on youtube about it, but I'm not the best on video. I feel like I can get my thoughts down in text much better without misconstruing my words. So I'm just posting here! Lets see what God does with it.
Here's my background, so you know me better before you just blindly trust what I say :).
I'm 32 years old. I grew up in California in a good home with 1 younger brother, going to a non-denominational evangelical church. I went to college and became a mechanical engineer. I put my trust in Jesus when I was 23 right out of college and it radically changed my outlook on life and gave me a lot of joy and peace. I got married 8 years ago, and 3 years ago adopted 2 kids, now ages 10 and 12. It was and is the most emotionally difficult thing I have ever done. My wife and I have been through seriously depressing times, and are still in the thick of it. I'm someone who thinks very deeply about all sorts of theological issues, my personal feelings, etc. I like to have evidence before I make a decision, regardless of traditional views. I honestly overanalyze everything. And it breaks my heart to see when people see Christianity in a different light than what I believe is beautiful and good. So this is an outlet for me to say what has been on my heart with so many different issues.
So here it goes! This first one is near to my heart because I'm a 90's kid:
We hear lots of things about video games from lots of people. Some say all video games are bad because they take people away from interacting with each other. Some say violent video games cause people to do violent things and should be banned. Some people come to the defense of video games saying that they are all good, and that virtual events have no effect on how people act.
I’ll be honest, I haven’t analyzed the statistics. I haven’t conducted studies on what video games can do to a person psychologically. But that’s not what this video is about. This video is about exploring people’s attitudes towards video games, and sharing my personal experience as a former avid gamer, and current casual gamer. And of course we will attempt to see what the Bible says about the subject (which of course won’t be specific to video games, but I think we can still draw conclusions).
I’ll start with my own experience as a gamer. I grew up in the 90’s, so video games were exploding rapidly. I started playing games like oregon trail and math blasters when I was around 6-8 years old. We mostly played pc games, which my parents were smart to limit my brother and I on. Over the years, I played tons of different games, and I have lots of fond memories of playing video games as a kid, all the way up through today. I made lots of good friends playing video games, and I still have a lot of fun with video games today. I still think sitting down to play a video game together is one of the easiest ways to get closer to someone.
I remember staying up all night with one of my friends in middle school playing need for speed, and then passing out on the floor. I remember going camping with my brother, and playing an old entertaining pc game on a laptop for hours on end. We still reference that today. In my youth group in high school, we would play Halo nearly every time we met. It was one of my favorite parts about going. It’s funny, because you wouldn’t expect an activity which seems so isolated from the real world to bring people closer together. But it can.
But it’s not all sugar and spice. In college, I was free from the usual restrictions on how much I could play video games, and I took it to the extreme. A lot of days it was all I wanted to do. I would go into my room when I got back from classes, and play the same game for 5 or 6 hours straight. I mostly used it to fill time, because I was really bad at being bored (and still am). But afterwards I just felt bad for not getting anything done, and wasting away my time. I felt like I was just floating through life without a purpose, which is an awful feeling. So video games became a tool to distract me from my lack of purpose in life.
So what was the difference between the two scenarios? One was healthy, fun, brought my friends and I together, and made good memories. The other was unhealthy, dissatisfying, and distracting. But why the difference? What changed? Was it the type of video game that changed, or was it me?
As you can see by my example, I had changed my attitude towards video games and towards life. The purpose for video games changed from a way to have fun with my friends, to a way to distract myself. I started focusing on video games as the end and the means, rather than just the means. And I think this is the root problem, not just with video games, but with anything. If we start thinking that any one thing, activity, or person is both the ends and the means, it will be extremely unhealthy for us. Because we are made to connect to God first, and connect to other people second. Things are at the bottom of the list. If we get those priorities mixed up, it will be very unhealthy, dissatisfying, and depressing.
Ah but I haven’t touched on the types of video games! Which are good, and which are bad? I had an interesting conversation with a non-Christian friend about this subject. I was playing Conan exiles, in which you wander around the desert, trying to survive, killing animals and people that attack you. I was playing a female character, and for some reason in this game they give you the option to show her topless. I obviously didn’t have this option on, and my friend questioned why I wouldn’t turn it on. It seemed obvious to me, but when we started talking about it, I realized I didn’t have a good reason. Or at least it was very hard to articulate. My friend posed the question, why is it that I can kill people brutally on the video game, but some virtual boobs were totally out of the question?
I also wondered, is there a scenario in which someone could play with the setting on, and it wouldn’t be wrong for them? What’s the difference between virtual violence and virtual sex? Why does any of it matter if it’s virtual anyways?
I think this question is actually pretty clearly answered in the Bible. Jesus really simplifies things when he explains sin.
First of all, Matthew 5:30 says
“30 And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.”
So if something causes you to do something bad, get rid of it. Seems pretty logical. It’s an extreme example obviously, which Jesus is using to make a point. And of course you could take this verse a lot of different non-biblical ways, and say that it says that sinning at all causes you to go to hell even if you are a christian, but that’s false, and it’s not what I want to talk about.
I also want to look at another verse, Matthew 5:27-28:
27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”
I think this applies to lots of different sins, not just adultery. If you are tempted by something, and fantasize about doing it, it is the same as doing it. It’s not just an internal thought, it’s something that can transform the way we think, and eventually the way we act.
In the case of video games, if it causes you to do something bad, stop playing it. If watching violence on a video game, tv show, movie, etc makes you want to go out and do violent things in real life, stop doing it. Personally I’m not affected by violence in video games. I know that because it doesn’t cause me to fantasize about doing violent things. But I know that’s not true for everyone.
However, this is not the case with sex. I am not able to separate myself from that easily. All it takes is an image of a sexualized woman to send me into sexual thoughts, and tempt me to start fantasizing. And because I am married, it’s not just something that can hurt myself, but also my wife. From experience, those images, thoughts, and obsessions even from years and years ago are not easily erased, and often can cross into the good, beautiful, personal experience with my wife. So I do the logical thing and avoid things that bring it into my mind.
Now theoretically someone could be completely unaffected by this, and it would be fine for them. They could play Conan with the topless setting on, and be unfazed. Although I would question why you would turn it on in the first place, considering it adds no challenge, story, or anything else to the game.
Of course as humans we all want concrete, easy to follow rules. Yes to this movie or game, no to this movie or game. This is evil, this is good. This is black, this is white. And if I could, I would distill video games down to just the challenge and the fun, and get rid of all the violence, sex, and other crap. But unfortunately there aren’t many games like that. We have to accept that there is bad and good in everything. Video games, movies, tv. Some of them have more good than bad, and some are the other way around. What determines whether or not it is good for us is not how much good or bad is in it, or what type of good or bad things, but rather its effect on us. Whether we can filter out the bad and leave the good, or not. Whether it pulls at our vices and tempts us, or not.
And the only way we can even discern, and implement these changes for our good is through the Holy Spirit. He is the one who tugs at our soul and makes us feel what is right or wrong. Without him, we are fighting a losing battle, lost to satisfying whatever wants pop into our head. No amount of logic, rules, regiment, and self denial can ever deal with this problem. And so my final answer for this hilariously long conversation about video games is the “sunday school” answer. We should listen to the Holy Spirit, read the Bible, pray, and analyze ourselves if we feel torn over any issue, including video games.

My brother recent left to another country for work, and will be gone for a couple of months. He left behind his nieces (aged 7 and 6) for my parents and SIL to take care of.
Recently, my mom asked if I could help take care of the nieces by taking them out during the weekends. My SIL cannot take them out because she does not have a drivers license.
I work in a high-pressure role at work (starting at 5AM and into the afternoon) and weekends are the only times when I can relax. Also, I’m seeing a girl whom I have been recently rocky with because she said I don’t spend enough time with her. As a result, on my weekends, I fully plan to exclusively spend the weekends with her.
AITA for not wanting to take my nieces out during the weekends and instead spending it with the girl I’m seeing?
I have taken the nieces out before on weekends in the past, and have not enjoyed it because it seems like I’m a parent (which I’m not wanting to be in the near future).

I tried many times to talk about the sexual double standard but I never was able to word it well. Recently this article talked about how boys being attracted to girls is seen as evil :
​

A friend’s son at a smart English day school was recently hauled up for the crime of unprompted communication with a girl. The boy had sent a message introducing himself to a student from another school. There was, according to the friend, no sexual element to the message.

​
Recently, Scotland wants to make men, and only men who talk publicly of their sexual conquests illegal. They explicitely allows women to do it without any issue.
​
Another sign of the standard is how women are free to have fun with their sexuality while men are demonized for it. Ladies Charity Nights with male strippers and topless waiters are one of the example.
There are several examples of the same kind of charity nights but for men provoking people's anger and accusation of sexism
​

This extraordinary flyer is not just “harmless fun”,’ said Sophie Walker, head of the Women’s Equality Party.
‘It’s part of a culture of sexism and aggression in football that objectifies and alienates women, and ruins the game for lots of fans, many of whom will find the advertised evening as ridiculous as we do.’

​
Children charity does not wants to receive any donation because of the strip components. (another example)
​
But when the sexes are reverse it is another story :
​

This year's raffle will feature a £250 Voucher for a semi-permanent make-up treatment provided by Shhh Beauty, a makeover voucher from a local hair and beauty salon and a selection of Christmas hampers all provided by local businesses all of which want to support Andrea with her fundraising mission for the AMMF.

​
You can find several of those examples : 1 2
​
The focus in on women's enjoyement of the men :
​

the female audience can enjoy the sight of some buff male waiters.

​

The second event is back by popular demand because ladies who attended last year were asking for a repeat because the so enjoyed the night.

Some other article I lost use very "toxic masculinity" type of language : "hunk", "hunky", etc.
The only time I saw outrage is in this example where a woman is angered by a fully nude male strippers shows who raised fund for a primary school (no children were exposed). As two comments under this article say :
​

Whilst I have no problem with this, I wonder if all those women who attended and those on this board would be so supportive if the men where going to have female strippers perform. No i didnt think so, tytpical females wanting the best of both worlds,when it suits them its okay.I can see all those red arrow now, proving my point.............or wont they.

​

Comments and responses here make me laugh. The responses and red arrows prove quite clearly that there is a section of the female population that want to have their cake and eat it. The clamour is that what went on was okay but there is no way these same women would have agreed to their husbands organising a lapdancing night for school funds and neither would have the majority of people commenting on this site. I know this will get red arrowed and don't care as that will just prove my point.

​
But most of the comments call the woman prude and say it is totally acceptable. Totally opposite of what we would see if the sex were reversed. I might also add what about the fathers whose wife assisted at this event ? Were they aware ? How many of these ladies go there telling their husband/boyfriend that they are simply going to a charity night ?
​
To take the words of a female stripper who has here stripper company :
​

"I see so many people advertising ladies' nights and no one seems to bat an eyelid, but I've been banned on Facebook from posting about the event on my own business page because I've offended a select few people.

​
Sexual desire and expression by women is all good and empowerement. Feminists will tell you that it is okay because women need sexual empowerement. So you consider that these kind of event are degrading, provoke sexual violence, etc. But it is okay to do it against men for the sake of women ? And there is no other way to "empower" women ?

Hi there, I know this is sort of a generic title and all of that, but I really don't know how to encapsulate it all in a single title 😅
I have questionable parents. Sometimes I feel like they're trying their best, others I don't. Some days I just feel like a roommate to them.
Im 20(NB) now. I suspect I have a lot of issues mentally through research and just overall trying my best, and looking back I realized my best is a little different than others. My parents have never helped me when it came to stuff like that. Once I was diagnosed with depression at 12, they tried putting me into therapy about two years later.. My father took me out after one day I had an outburst about how I can't handle him pushing religion onto me, how I can't handle it, I just want to be myself, and I just want to live. The therapist also had tried to prescribe me medication. She fought for me. Eventually she won, but I also never saw her again. And I miss her a lot. He then made me sign a contract that I either had to go to church every Sunday, or read a passage from the Bible and write an essay on it.
I got sent to a new therapist. About 3 months in, I found out that my dad had picked her because she was Christian. I brought up my concerns with BPD, because I exhibit a lot of symptoms, and I struggle a LOT with day-to-day life. It's to the point where these symptoms impact me daily. She gave me a test for bi-polar and told me that she wouldn't test me because I don't give enough extreme symptoms (which if I'm honest isn't true. I just feared hospitalization. Maybe it would've been better.).
I know my parents don't like me. They tell me they do, but I don't know if I've believed them for the last ten years. There are days, but like I said, I just feel like a roommate to them. A parasitic one at that. I'm everything they've ever vocally hated since I was a kid, even if they tell me they don't hate them or that they don't hate me. I've heard them. I heard them when I was in the closet, I heard them when I was privately out, and I heard them when I was publicly out. I've heard them talk about my kind, and I mean someone who's queer, non-binary, and a witch. Even still, they'll get onto me. They don't respect my name or pronouns, even though they're aware of it. I know they are because they've made several comments, including "If you're non-binary, and they/them what does that make your boyfriend?". Which just feels a little invasive especially as my boyfriend wasnt there, and I felt bad speaking on it, because I'm sort of an outlier, generally he has only been with women, so truthfully I don't know (and honestly I don't really mind) how he identifies. I never thought about it. All we knew is we love each other, and that's good enough for us.
I have a lot of health issues, I can't hold a job very well. I'm disabled enough to barely be able to function at work, but not enough to claim disability. I try to babysit and I do run a little shop on Etsy. But none of it's enough to really live. They're constantly down my back to get a job, and I've been trying to just do anything to figure it out, but I can't go to normal jobs. I can't keep destroying my body. It hurts.
My moms delusional too. And she feeds into her own delusions. She comes home and she'll accuse and yell at me for things I didn't do, or scenarios she made up, and I can't do anything about it. If I do I just get yelled at for that. Then I'm being disrespectful. It doesn't matter if I have proof. It doesn't matter if I don't do those things. It doesn't matter if Im only ever in my room or cleaning, my mother thinks I'm a lying, disgusting thief, and there's nothing I can do about it. I've tried. I can admit when I was younger I did lie, and steal things, I also grew up in a mild hoarder household and never was taught how to clean. Just that things needed to be clean. When I was 14 I tried to make a change. I swore that I'd be done lying and taking things, and I'd try better to make myself better. Since, I don't lie, and I don't take things without permission or letting my mom know. And I've tried really, really hard to learn how to clean, and how to live in a way that is well.. livable for me. My partner and I have figured out a mini system for when we move out, but I don't know when that will be anymore and I'm losing hope.
I know this is very long winded, and definitely doesn't encapsulate everything that's ever been done to me. But my mom came home and did what she always did and just started questioning and accusing me about things that I didn't have anything to do with or were just outright not true. It's always simple things, but it builds up. On top of it building up, why does she think so lowly of me..? I just don't understand what I did..
I'm sorry this is long and I don't even know if this is something I should be so bothered by, I can't tell anymore..but I am and I need someone to hear me. I've been screaming for years and it feels like nobody knows or cares outside of my partner and my brother. But they can only do so much to help me right now...
Im sorry, thank you for listening if you did. I really do appreciate it. Even if you don't say anything, that's okay. Just the fact that someone out there has heard me means more than enough to me.

I am looking to make some quick cash with all these clothes and books I need to donate. Does anyone know which stores in town, if there are any, that will buy these? I also know that it's unlikely one store will take both lmao so I'm just fishing for recommendations on either clothes or books.

I(F24) have anxiety disorder (I think also reoccurring depression) and disorganised attachment style. I have these waves where it’s hard for me to understand that people who are closest to me actually want good for me and I react as if they’re against me because I struggle with trusting them, I easily start personalising the problem, and I jump to negative assumptions, thinking they’re against me. I also have a tendency to think that I make people angry over small things and that I’m a burden to them. I’m in a therapy but I won’t be able to meet my therapist for a couple of weeks so I’m asking here.
A couple of years ago I was in a relationship that lasted for 7 years with a narcissist and I think that’s when my negative thoughts of me being a burden kicked in the most. Throughout all of the relationship I questioned it. I never had a good example from my parents so I tried to navigate my relationship myself and also trying to leave each time something bad happened. Of course there were bigger problems in this relationship, but there were also smaller ones where I tried to break things off.
Now I’m in a different, 1 year old relationship and I’m struggling with trust again, questioning my partner’s(M24) intentions. I knew him for 3 years, I never trusted anyone as much as I trust him, I know he’s a kind and caring person, but I keep thinking he doesn’t actually like me and would rather be with someone else. I think it’s because he struggles with intimacy, he’s not great at giving me reassurance, we meet once in two months, and when we’re apart I don’t have a reminder what he’s actually like, but when we meet, I don’t question our relationship as much. There are time periods where I feel like he’s the one and I want to marry him. But after some time passes and we’re unable to physically be together, I start detaching from him and some tension of us not spending enough time together starts to rise over time, then let’s say I have a bad day or I’m tired. On these days I actually can break up with him if some issue comes up. I don’t tell him that I’m breaking up with him, but I do say something like “I can’t take it anymore” and he understands that the relationship might come to an end and it stresses him out. Then I take a nap or get some food and rethink everything with a clear head and I and realise thar I jumped to assumptions. The biggest problem is that in the moment the issue seems so big and so worth of leaving a relationship that I can’t tell if it’s actually worth leaving or not anymore. Even in the past couple of weeks there were two times I wanted to break up with him over some unsolved issues but mostly because I don’t believe he likes me since he hardly ever expresses it. So I keep thinking that I should leave so he’d be happier, he just won’t leave the relationship himself. He’s the only honest and truly kind person I’ve ever met. I thought I wouldn’t question this relationship this much. I suggest him to be free and happy without me, because I have too many issues and I feel bad for him, but he doesn’t want to leave and tells me that he does like me but it feels like it’s still not enough to prove me that for him it’s worth enough to stay with me. I asked him if I see myself as less important to him that he actually think of me and he said yes.
I do this with every relationship, some friend might do something inconsiderate and I jump to assumption that I can’t trust that friend and that this friend did certain things because the friend doesn’t care about me or doesn’t respect me.
I’ve been trying to practice changing my point of view and practice compassion for about a year now, but the progress is slow.
I have no idea what to do, but I want to change, has anyone been in this situation and can tell me what can I do?
TLDR; I question all of my relationships, not being able to tell if people want to hurt me or not. When some issue comes up, I almost always jump to worst assumptions and my instant thought is to leave and distance myself from this person. It’s been hard on me and people that involve me.
I have no idea what to do, but I want to change, has anyone been in this situation and can tell me what can I do?

Picked up two Olympus 35mm cameras, a Trip AF 50 and a Trip 600, from a thrift store. I'm trying to determine if they're fully functional. I noticed that when I put batteries in and let the flash charge, the flash only fires when the back cover is open. If I push the shutter release button when the back cover is closed, the camera sounds like it is slowly exposing and does not flash. If I push the button when the back is open, the flash immediately fires and the camera quickly exposes and advances. This is all with no film in the camera. Same for both cameras. Is this normal? Is it related to no film being loaded? I know with other automatic 35mm cameras I've used, the flash will fire as normal when the back is closed and there's no film. Thanks for any replies.

See below for a summary of arguments for and against HB 1240 provided in previous testimony. Maybe this can be used to spot some weak spots in the support and some arguments against that could be shored up.
Hat tip to Eotech9ne for the idea (sorry don’t know how to link in another user) — he stated that AAG Kristín Binecki had a list of anticipated arguments. I couldn’t find that. I did find a summary of previous testimony for and against 1240. She led off the support testimony, so her arguments are summarized in this block. As are arguments against. Hope this helps.
TESTIMONY ON 1240
(In support) While all firearms can be used to create death and tragedy, assault weapons are used in most mass shootings and are the weapon-of-choice for mass shooters. Assault weapons are 11 times more likely to be used in mass shootings and seven times more likely to be used to kill a law enforcement officer. When assault weapons are used in shootings, the rate of fatalities is doubled. Assault weapons are now used in twice as many mass shootings as in prior years, and mass shootings like Sandy Hook, Uvalde, Las Vegas, and Buffalo are becoming increasingly common. While the federal ban on assault weapons was in effect, mass shooting fatalities were 70 percent less likely to occur.
Assault weapons are designed for the sole purpose of maximizing killing, fire faster and hit more targets, kill quickly and efficiently, are created for the military, and are equipped with military features that go beyond sporting firearms. Assault weapons can kill and injure hundreds in a matter of minutes. Military weapons do not belong on the streets, and assault weapons do not belong in communities or schools.
This bill restricts sales; it will not make anyone less able to defend themselves or turn law-abiding citizens into criminals. The bill will reduce access to deadly weapons used in mass shootings, limit the continued purchase and expansion of use of assault weapons in Washington, and stem the tide of gun violence. No one law will stop all gun violence, but this bill will help. Nine other states restrict assault weapons; Washington should be the tenth state to do so.
The Second Amendment says nothing about assault weapons and the founders had no way of knowing what kind of weapons would develop or how people would use them. The Second Amendment was not intended to grant a private right of self-defense. Rights must be balanced with responsibilities.
This bill is on sound constitutional footing and similar laws have been upheld across the country. The Supreme Court has reiterated that firearm rights are not unlimited and the Second Amendment does not protect a right to keep and bear any weapon whatsoever. Regulations of weapons of war to protect public safety are consistent with our nation's history and tradition of firearm regulation. The Supreme Court has expressly stated that fully automatic weapons are not protected by the Second Amendment, and this bill is consistent with that line of precedent.
(Opposed) This bill will not address the misuse of firearms. The vast majority of criminals that use firearms are not lawfully in possession. The Department of Justice reports that 88.8 percent of gun violence is caused by people possessing firearms illegally. Ninety-eight percent of gun deaths are caused by handguns, which this bill does not address. The federal Center for Disease Control found the federal ban on assault weapons had no measurable impact on gun violence. "Assault weapon" is a manufactured term and fear mongering. This new law is a feel-good bill, will not help, and will have no effect on gun violence, but will simply penalize law-abiding citizens. Since last session's ban on high-capacity magazines, the state has seen an increase in gun violence.
Addressing the real problem requires a discussion of how firearm violations are pled to lower charges or the charges are dropped. The solution is to lock in tougher sentencing guidelines, stop being soft on crime, hold criminals accountable, and give more support to law enforcement so they can go after dangers before they occur.
Women are the fastest growing group of gun owners and prefer modern sporting rifles, including the AR 15, because they can adjust the stock to fit their size, there is little to no recoil making the weapon safer to operate, and self-defense ammunition that is less likely to penetrate structural walls is available. Modern sporting rifles are the weapon of choice for women and some people with disabilities. This bill takes away the best defensive weapon for women and discriminates against women.
This bill bans the most commonly owned and lawfully possessed firearms, including some pistols and shotguns. The weapons targeted by this bill are the most popular self-defense weapons in America, contrary to the Legislature's finding that they are not suitable for self-defense. It is beyond dispute that a statistically significant number of citizens possess semiautomatic rifles for self-defense.
This bill is unconstitutional under the Supreme Court's new history, text, and tradition test. Where constitutional rights are concerned, no law can abrogate them. Passing this legislation will only result in steep legal bills for the state and taxpayers while failing to address criminal misuse of firearms. Similar bans have not been upheld under the Bruen test and there are 20 active court cases challenging similar bans across the country. This law will be found unconstitutional, but it could take the courts years to resolve.
The firearm industry provides substantial economic activity. This bill will result in layoffs and the closure of a firearms manufacturing facility in Lakewood, which is the largest private employer in Lakewood and has over 600 employees. Existing contracts will be placed in jeopardy if this bill is passed.

For those who have no physical access to the device, [click Easy way to hack my husband’s phone remotely](mailto:[email protected]) Knowing where your loved ones are at any particular time is important. Aside the fact that you may be trying to invade their privacy, there is a safety net you put in place when you track them.
The spike in criminal activities in recent years leaves a lot to the imagination. There are cases and scenarios where someone is abducted on the way to his workplace. Or even recent shooting incidents in churches and cinemas. In a situation where something horrible happens to your loved one without you knowing, cell phone monitoring solutions will give you a clue as to their whereabouts and possibly what led to the terrible accident. There are scenarios where cyber-bullying causes someone to take his life. But this would have been averted, perhaps, if his mobile activities were monitored and the situation arrested on time before it went over the roof.
How can I track my husband’s cell phone without him knowing and for free
Tracking in a sense is good for your mental health as it keeps you accountable for your decisions. A good example is Coupletracker which enables married couples to track one another so one of them does not feel cheated. This side-step the issue of privacy as both parties consent to being monitored and invariably makes the accountable for their decisions.

How can I know who my husband is texting?
Most men are not heavy-texters. They prefer to place a voice call to the person they want to connect with, pass across the information they want to, and end the call. But in a situation where you notice your husband always typing messages; be it through instant messaging apps or traditional SMS, you may feel something is up especially if you know him to be a call person.
Your first reaction would be surprise and you will ask yourself:
“What is he hiding?”
You may become upset if he hides his phone and does not let you see who he is texting. But should now make the house uninhabitable for him? I wouldn’t advise that.
How to spy on husband’s phone
Some men are very good at keeping secrets. You may think preparing his favorite meal would loosen his tongue or even getting him his favorite club’s jersey. If you still cannot get the evidence you are looking for, you will need a new strategy in order to get through this wall.
Your best shot is not in asking one of your girl-friends who works in the same work district to keep an eye on him for you or even hire a full-time private investigator to spy on him. I believe you want your struggles to be kept secret and not spoken about as the latest gist in your community.
Although they may promise that your issue will be treated with the utmost secrecy, there is a small chance that one or two other persons may get to find out about it. Why don’t you just use spy apps then?
Spy apps (technically called cell phone monitoring solutions) will guarantee that no one else will ever find out about it. It’s just you, the spy app and your target. Nothing else will veer for its attention as its entire detective capabilities will be channeled towards bringing the truth to the fore light.
How can I see my husband’s text message without his phone
A sweet and neat trick to accomplish this is with spy apps. The answer is not far-fetched in this technologically–driven world. Everything in our society is connected somewhat. You must have come across the phrase “internet of things.” I know you may have not thought about this but it has a place in our discussion.
The “internet of things” basically means inter-connectedness of devices. So your smart phone will give your smart watch info about you, also you will be able to continue your browsing session with your iPad or even control your smart home with your smart phone. This makes technology to surround and intelligently interpret your every experience.
In a situation where you want to access the mobile of your husband and read his messages without him knowing, it may be difficult to do if he is constantly with his phone. But you can still read his messages without his phone. If your husband uses an iOS device ([shoppingmode iPhone](mailto:[email protected]), iPad, Macbook), you should be able to read his messages without needing his phone. This information is exclusive to only iOSdevices; Android devices will need physical access to the target phone before installing the tracking software.
How can I get my husband’s text message sent to my iPhone
Do you want your husband’s text messages sent to your [shoppingmode iPhone](mailto:[email protected])? You can try using Flexispy for iOS devices as it will let you hack your husband’s smart phone.

Just for kicks and giggles, friends, let's spitball about what we might see in 27 days. Not that I'm insanely hype or anything.
In HZD after the big boss fight finale, the game did a little time skip back to before the battle of the Alight, right? Regardless of whether you had Frozen Wilds or not. HFW doesn't do that. Post-Singularity is as is; no time skip.
That does indicate that the DLC will be able to take place not just parallel but after the main story, no?
And by the end of Singularity, GAIA has all her sub-functions! By the end of the game, GG ended it with this "oh sorry need to purge -cough cough- Zenith code so you can't acces that yet, oh well!" So are we gonna get to meet APOLLO's avatars now, Aristotle and Aspasia? Will Beta have a reunion with them? Will Sylens (RIP Lance Reddick🕯) or Alva burrow harder into the Old World archives?
Not to mention our hallowed bois Brin and Gildun! They were referenced in HFW as going to the Burning Shores!
And what about the Quen woman we've seen in that one promo pic?! What do you think?

I’ve been separated from my ex for almost 5 years now, we have an awesome 6 year old. I left due to his addictions.
I am constantly blamed for his addictions and for “taking away” his daughter. -we have court ordered visitation.
A couple weeks ago he go drunk and did drugs at our daughter bday party during his visitation and a week later showed up at her ballet performance drunk (& was still drinking while waiting for performance to start). I filed for an emergency temp order. (supervised visits) He found out and is pissed.
He said his mom and him laugh at me behind my back and I’m just taking our daughter away even more and causing all of this and all I do is bait him so I can get these reactions from him.
I never was open about the emotional/ physical abuse in our relationship with anyone and last night I just broke down and cried for hours.He says the most horrible things to me and is mean to our daughter because he gets mad at me (2 months ago my daughter asked “does daddy love me”)

Are you concerned about your husband’s recent attitude around the home? Do you feel something is bothering him and the answer may lie within his phone? Are you keen to know what this is? Do you feel you are up to the task of spying or hacking his phone to find out the truth?
If you answer yes to these questions , then you are in the right place.
How to track my husband’s android phone
Tracking an Android phone takes more than knowing the password to his email account. The only working method out there is for you to physically install the software on the target phone. You will need to spend a minimum of five minutes in order to get the phone tracker app installed.
After this is done, the spy app will automatically begin running in the background stealthily. It will even use a pseudo-name aside its original name so the target user does not discover it. When this is done, you will be able to track, hack, spy and monitor his phone without him ever suspecting you. This way, you can truly enjoy the peace of mind that you deserve when you nick the problem by the bud.
How can I see what my husband is looking at on the internet on his phone?
Men are device lovers and some can spend a huge amount of time just casually scrolling through their phone files. Because men are more curious, they are able to better maximize their phone’s potential. This “addiction” can be downright annoying especially if he is ignoring you. You may be asking yourself: “what is more important than me in his life?”
Well you cannot get answers just by allowing imaginations to fill your head**.** You need to find a way to gain access to his phone. You may be thinking of one thing while it would be another thing that may really be going on. You need to be certain before you confront him and the only way you can do is with spy apps. But before we delve into this, what could be taking his attention away from you?
What he could possibly be doing online?Playing online games.
Men are game-freaks. They love competing and showing off their abilities. This need to prove themselves does not end even when they are adults as it spills into their domestic affairs. If you think you can understand why they are this way, well you will need to take a lot of classes.
In a situation that he is a game-nerd, you will need to sit him down and discuss how you feel neglected and unappreciated. This generally comes across as honest and not naggy. You can even suggest games that allow more than one person to play this way you will be able to connect to his world.
Gambling addiction
Men easily become addicted to using their smart phones to play online game. Many main-stream game companies have moved into the mobile space and this has made more people to be engaged in more screen-time. You need to be certain that your husband is not betting your home’s mortgage on the roll of a dice. With financial payments becoming easier, he may be tempted to gamble away a significant amount of your joint savings. Do whatever it takes to ensure that he is not suffering from gambling addiction.
You can easily monitor him with spy apps like mSpy. This will let you know the frequency of the apps usage on his smart phone. Even if he has security protocols to hide this, you will be able to bypass this and gain the necessary information.
If you need to find out where he goes to aside his office or even keep a general eye on his whereabouts you can do this successfully with spy apps. Cell phone monitoring solution like Flexispy gives you the capability to monitor and track the location of your loved ones.
How to spy on your husband’s cell phone without touching it
It is your innate right to know what I going on in your partner’s life. On the altar, you promised to look out for one another until you both leave this earth so do not feel as though you are invading his privacy. If he tries to stone-wall you, you can use other alternatives without him ever knowing what you are up to.
How to track my husband’s cell phone without it
One of the major hindrances that made spy apps not to go main-stream a decade ago was because before you could spy on any device, you must handle the target phone physically. If you could be so close to the phone and had access then why do you need spy apps in the first place?
Seeing someone else
This is your primary fear and the reason you are reading this article in the first place. He may be seeing another man or woman and spending a lot of time with his phone. The only way you can find out what is going on would be with spy apps. This way, you will be able to confront him with your findings.
A likely sign you may get is hearing him speak in a low tone and ending phone calls immediately you come into the room he is in. if you are getting this sort of vibes, you will need to definitely hack his phone to know what exactly is going on. Spy app recommendation would be Highster Mobile.
How can I track my husband’s phone location?
Do you want to know where he hangs out with his buddies to take a drink? Do you need to know if he I being truthful to you about his whereabouts? Maybe you have heard incriminating rumors and want to make sure that this is not true.
No solution seemed forth-coming until new generation of spy apps were introduced. This crop of surveillance softwares would allow anyone to monitor the mobile activities of their loved ones as long as you had their shoppingmode Apple ID and password. This innovation brought a much-needed relief to everyone as all you needed for you to spy on anyone’s smartphone was just their iCloud credentials. So if you are one of the lucky women whose husband uses an shoppingmode iPhone and you also know his iCloud login details, you will be able to track, monitor and generally spy on his mobile usage. This takes away the excuse of “he doesn’t let me touch his phone.”
Top spy apps to spy on your spouse for android and iPhone
Spy apps are the hot items in the software market right now. Everyone want to know what their friends and colleagues are up to. In fact if you are a good hacker in this modern times, you can land a job with tech giant Google (talk of making your dreams come true). But is it every one of them that you should work with?
I wouldn’t advise you doing that. Although there are zillions (exaggeration intended) of spy apps and phone tracking software out there, only a few can deliver the value they promise.
I once tried using a phone number tracking software for trial (excuse my not mentioning the name) and I was disappointed. They promised to give me all the necessary information I need without billing me a dime. Seemed cool at first but it wasn’t as they promised. I filled in my cell phone number for experiment but got sent survey questions. I literally quit the site after answering a couple of questions and felt like I wasted my time.
Now, I am one of the lucky few that gets away scot-free but there may be some that are actually malwares intent on infecting your system with viruses. So after going through this trial and error period, we have been able to discover one truth. And what is that?
How can I listen to my husband’s cell phone conversations?
Genuine [monitoring softwares](mailto:[email protected]) will always charge you even if it’s a token. And you know the fantastic thing about it? They are tokens. Their subscription packages are well-suited to your pocket and you won’t feel the pinch. So my candid advice; use premium or paid spy app services. You can check out some of them below for starters.

Hello, im a 23(M) and my girlfriend is a 21(F), we have been dating for 5 months now and we met through work. I do like her but lately, for the past month or 2 I have felt a disconnect. A lot of small things she does that are very minor and most ppl wouldnt get annoyed at seem to annoy me about her. If she does something wrong or not in my best interest I feel slighted. In my head my best guess is im maybe losing interest in her but im not sure if that is correct. At the current moment she has expressed (not directly) that she loves me, but hasnt said it yet, and when I think about that I dont know if I can say the same yet. I do care about her but have also had feelings of breaking it off. Im not sure if this is an obstacle that I need to get over in my own head and so that is why Im seeking help. I know this is not a ton of info to go off of so feel free to ask questions as im open to answering. A little more info: I feel like she is bland when it comes to conversations. Any time I talk to her about my views on things if they arent the same as hers she gets annoyed and upset and stops conversating. She told me my views on a lot of things( such to do with women) dont matter because im a white male ( shes a white female). She doesnt have much interest in meeting my friends and will not conversate or say hi to my roommates who are my friends(she has social anxiety so idk if it is justified because of this). she is new to the city we live in but I grew up here, but she does have a very close friend who lives here and I have had to ask several times to meet them and it still hasnt happened, only when i told her i feel like she doesnt care did she try and make an effort to make us meet. She doesnt or hasnt taken a single picture with me which might be weird for me to care about but my past girlfriends did and I see other GFs doing it a lot so it rubs me the wrong way I guess. These are all things that i guess annoy me and make me feel less attracted and make me have feeling of not wanting to be with her that much among a few other things. Not sure if i need to fix something on my end so that is why im writing this for some advice, thank you for reading. Also I have communicated some things to her but not all, and for some others, i dont want to communicate them such as the picture taking as I would feel self conscious talking about it as maybe its weird I care about that.
