I was kind of just snooping around for duplicate or broken packages and decided to ls the /etc/apt/sources.list directory and there were a ton of outputs and they were color coded. Hope someone can chime in and perhaps tell me how to fix them, if it's even important. I just took a screen shot because I couldn't think of any other way to keep the formatting/coloring in tact. thanks guys

The Form

LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE

• Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US: - $1500 - $2000 -
• Are you open to refurbs/used? - I'm skeptic about using refurbished unless it has RTX 3080 Ti or higher. -
• How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life? - If I use a laptop as my sole driver (where I also use it for gaming), then battery life isn't too big of a deal for me since I'll be having it plugged up most of the time. In the situation that it's more for only college (no gaming on it) a 2-in-1 approach would be nice so I can also use it for note taking and digital art. Enough battery life to get me through my courses would be nice. -
• How important is weight and thinness to you? - It's not a big deal for me. My last laptop was an old Dell Latitude CP from the early 2000s that I used to carry around in a HUGE laptop bag. So, I'm used to some weight. -
• Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. - 17" or larger, since anything smaller feels too small for me, but I can settle for a 16" too. -
• Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. - I like to play MMORPGs (like FFXIV), JRPGs, mobile games on Bluestacks, and old emulated games. As for programs: Microsoft Office, Clip Studio Paint, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere Pro and OBS Studio. -
• If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? - FFXIV (custom high settings) at 60+ FPS -
• Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? - A touch screen that's also good for writing notes and doing digital art. Reliable build quality is must since whatever laptop I get has to last me through college. -
• Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. - I'm supposed to be starting up in college this fall and regardless on whatever path I choose I need a good laptop to get me through college. However, I'm stuck going back and forth on choosing a cost effective solution where I can continue enjoying PC gaming and not forgo it for the next 6 - 7 years. So, I've been trying to decide either to try getting a laptop that will "do it all" or divide everything up to a desktop for gaming and a 17" laptop for college. -

Phew!! Had one of the most stressful days of my life yesterday and I know if you’re here you’re in the same boat I was. You need to pass an unsupervised urine drug screen. Here is how I passed mine using the Testclear powdered human urine. Sorry this will be long but I know I wanted every detail when I was searching through here. TLDR at bottom.
I am an early 20s female and have smoked weed nightly before bed for about 10 years to help with my PTSD and it’s accompanying symptoms like insomnia and anxiety (yes as a child too which was unfortunate but my childhood is why I have PTSD). I have attempted to stop in the past but it was not something that was possible for me if I wanted to live a normal life. Unfortunately, I live in an illegal state and on top of that I am an RN, so regardless of whether I go to a legal state or not it is still not acceptable for marijuana to show up on any drug screen. I knew I could not stop long enough for it to leave my system after using it daily for so many years so I decided I would have to go a different route. After a lot of research I decided to use the real human powdered urine as I was going to be tested at the hospital’s facility and wasn’t sure how advanced their testing would be.
Ordering: I ordered the human powdered urine kit from testclear with regular shipping as I knew I had time to wait. I ordered on a Monday and it actually came within 2 days so if you can risk it taking a bit longer don’t overpay for quick shipping since it’s already quick if you order during business hours. The kit came with a 50mL tube, vial of powdered urine, 1 pack of toe warmer stickers, and a thermometer strip sticker for the tube. They offer add ons like an extra tube for water in case the place you’re going to needs a larger sample, extra toe warmers, as well as a digital thermometer to confirm accuracy of the temperature strip. I opted to go on Amazon and buy additional toe warmers and temperature strips to stick on the tube as that was cheaper and the digital thermometer beeps which increases the risk of getting caught. Most urine tests need a minimum of 30mL so I decided to just bring the 50mL tube and risk it, luckily that was enough.
Pre-test: I spent the day before practicing with the tube filled with just water. I stuck multiple temperature strips on it, stuck on one toe warmer, and started a stop watch. I observed the temperature in about 15 minute increments to see how long it needed to get to the right temp. I also tried it with 2 toe warmers but there was not much of a difference between one and two. It took about 20 minutes for it to get up to 94 and 30 minutes to 100. The sample needs to be between 90-100°. I also timed how long it took to cool down after taking the toe warmer off and it took about 45 minutes for it to fall below 90. I then practiced going to the bathroom and pouring it. I tried different clothing to see what could conceal it best and I ended up using bike shorts as they held it close to my body and didn’t make noise.
Day of: The day of the test I wore a dress that hugs my body well so it wouldn’t appear I was concealing anything. Under the dress I wore bike shorts. The facility was a 20 minute drive so right before I left the house I added the powdered urine to 50mL of RO water and shook vigorously to dissolve it. Then I stuck one toe warmer on and put it in my purse in the sun on my passenger seat. When I got there it was at 100° so I took off the toe warmer and I put the tube in the shorts right under my labia between my thighs (I’m 5’3, 135lbs if that matters so my thighs are a little thicc). In that spot it wasn’t bulging out from the front or back only from below where no one would see. It also wasn’t uncomfortable to sit or walk so I wouldn’t look sus. I was definitely worried about the temperature not staying right as I ended up having to wait 1.5 hours before my test but at the same time the toe warmer might have made it too hot for my skin and harder to cool when I needed it. I took the test in an office that had the bathroom in it so the nurse was at her desk while I was behind a door right across from her. In the bathroom I got the tube out of my shorts and checked the temp which was 98 (thank god). I started peeing in the toilet then stopped and grabbed the cup and poured the urine in at the same rate as my stream. Then I closed the cup lid and continued peeing in the toilet while putting the tube back in my shorts. It was a key cup that gave immediate results so I took it out to her and sat while it finished. It was clean!!
TLDR: Testclear powdered human urine will give you a clean result. The most important thing is keeping it between 90-100°. Do this by putting a toe warmer on the tube for at least 20 minutes before entering the facility then removing the warmer and concealing the tube close to your body to maintain the right temperature until your test. Also, don’t drop the tube.

Hello again my fellow self-helpers,
Few days ago I wrote a post about the main lessons I learned in my mental journey starting from my lowest of low state to my current state. From my experience there's SO MUCH you can do for self help so my focus was on giving structure among the jumble mess of self help methods that are available. In broad terms, what works, and why? And so, what works best first, then second? Doing the wrong things at the wrong time will only 1. make things possibly worse in a cycle of negative self affirmation, 2. make you take much longer than needed and consequently 3. maybe even demotivate you, comfirming your believe that "It's just the way I am".
The post was recieved with positive aclaim, but with an overall feedback: it's way too damn long! You're on the internet, gotta keep people's attention span in mind ;) With that in mind, I'm now writing the summary of my summary.
!!! CRITICAL: Depending on the severity of your emotions and trauma, it's highly advised you try steps 3, 4 and 5 under the guidance of an expert. You may bring yourself to feel stuff you long repressed, only to not know how the handle the emotions and then be off worse. !!! But, at least you know what to ask your therapist, right?
(Step one and two are not processes but rather state of mind from which to work on. Let it sink in but don't get stuck on it.)
Step one: Acceptance of your own imperfection. It's okay.
Too many people I've talked to are ready to talk about the bad things that happen in their life but as soon as you start about their OWN role in the situation, they will get all defensive and maybe even antagonized. Everyone makes mistakes. Everyone has bad experiences that colour their judgement of things and the way they act. Only if you accept this and what you have done in the past as fact, only then you are open minded enough to change. Otherwise, whatever you'll learn what could've helped you, you'll dismiss from your mind as soon as you leave the therapist, either from stubbornness or as a unconscious selfdefence reflex because you don't accept that yes, also you have weaknesses.
Step two: Accept your own agency and so reject victimhood.
Don't portrait yourself as the victim of the problems. Indirectly this means "How can I change it if it isn't my fault?" Too many people are stuck in victimhood where they blame all but themselves. Sure, there's moments where it's really not your fault, but then still it is up to you how you will react. Be ready to take responsibility of your (re)actions. If you don't, you will never accept advise from anyone. If you don't you will never change because why would you, if it's always other people?
I cannot stress enough that self-reflection is key for anyone who's willing to change !!!
Step three: grounding a.k.a. to get into contact with your feelings
'Grounding' yourself is a method of bringing yourself into contact with your body so your emotions. This is necessary for future steps. There's two kinds of emotions: first, the underlying emotions that are actually the root cause, and second, the way it manifests such as sadness, self-pity, self-loathing, anger. Make sure you're not in the latter because that's mopping the floor with the faucet open.
Step four: What do I feel and why?
Or in other words: the popular phenomena called Mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. What it boils down to is the focus on self-awareness, to get a good insight into your own emotions and how it subconsciously affects your daily life. I mean the emotions under the mask you're wearing. It's important to keep asking yourself WHY do I feel this? What underlying emotion or memories is there? Do this long enough and you'll likely come to one or two overarching insecurities. Likely this won't happen in one string of why's in one evening, but over a longer period of self reflection and 'oooooOOOOOOOooooh' moments.
Step five: Accept your past hurtful experiences. Process the associated emotions
This step comes apparently late, but not without reason. I suggest doing Somatic Experiencing and Fake Letter Writing as a way. But let me explain why this comes as step five. The thing is, how are you able to process your past trauma's if you've not fully mapped out what the root causes are? It won't do you much good to process 'that sad evening from last week'. No, why were you sad? Or lonely? What insecurity? What experience did you have that causes the insecurity? THAT's what you need to process.
See your body like an emotional hard drive. Everything that had an emotional impact on you, without expression, will be stored in your body, only to build up over time until you burst in emotional tantrums over the slightest of triggers. The two methods I mentioned are good ways to dig up repressed, unprocessed emotions. If you know what to dig up.
Step six: self improvement. Learn by doing. Train your subconsciousness by experience.
After you dealt with getting to know yourself intimately, after you managed to deal with painful experiences and their attached emotions, only then are you able to change. See it like this: you're on a stormy sea with wind and waves on all side and you're trying to change course. How much chance of succeeding will you have, how much effort must it take, only to be blown off course again later? Dramatic I know, but many people try to change while their insides are still jumbled up. I suppose it's possible if you have an iron grip on your discipline and put away all emotions. Fun robot life that'll be.
Check my sources for some helpful books on actual change. My focus is still to bring structure to your road. Anyway you probably want different things than me.

I can't get good comparison pictures so I'll do my best to describe. I got double lobe piercings yesterday and the top piercings are clearly a bit uneven in terms of distance from the first piercings. I measured and one set of holes is 1/4 inch apart from each other and the other is 1/2 inch apart. My ears themselves are a bit asymmetrical so it doesn't look super terrible, but I am wondering if it's worth getting repierced because I think the one that's further apart looks a bit weird just on it's own.
I feel bad because when the lady was placing dots I asked her to lower the one that turned out closer so it's really my fault they turned out uneven across ears, however I like the look of the closer one better. I got small hoops and I prefer the way the closer set hangs, so I'm thinking of asking if it's be possible to move the further set in closer.
But before I try that, I wanted to know if there is some general standard for how close double lobes should be to avoid problems. I haven't gotten a chance to wear different jewelry in so I'm not sure if the closer set is TOO close and I'm just a dummy or if the further set really is further than it should be, y’know? Could anyone offer advice or experience?

Good afternoon HWS! Local sales preferred. Willing to drive up to an hour away.
I am selling my personal PC with the following specs:
PCPartPicker Part List: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9C7cW4

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro OEM - DVD 64-bit
Case Fan: 8 x Noctua P12 redux-1700 PWM 70.75 CFM 120 mm Fan
I have owned this PC for about a year now and honestly it has been a dream come true. I overkilled on the amount of fans (RPMS stayed nice and low) to the point where this thing was basically an air conditioner all year round. I have a bunch of (if not all) accessories for the case as well as the Noctua CPU cooler. The PC originally had a 3080 ti which was purchased secondhand and undervolted since day 1, never any issues and ran all games flawlessly at 1440p. Never messed with the 12600k because I didn't feel the need to.
The PC does have 2 small issues. The first one being the retainer clip on the primary PCIe slot broke off (pictured in timestamps). I have found it to be purely cosmetic because the mounting screws do 99% of the work anyway. My 3080 ti used to be installed without any issues or sagging. I can throw in my EZ GPU bracket just out of extra precaution and safety for the buyer. Second issue is one of the USB-A ports on top of the case doesn't work and I never bothered figuring out why since the motherboard had so many available.
The EVGA 3080ti still has (as of 6/4/23) 595 days left of a transferable warranty on it. I still have the original box (has a tear across the front) and all the accessories that came with it.
I am selling the PC and the cards due to lack of playing time. Bought a house recently and fixing it up has taken up most of my time and will take even more of it up with the summer coming since I'm a teacher and get the time off.
Looking to get $540 w/o GPU or $1100 with the 3080 ti.
Willing to ship the 3080 ti for $580 local/$605 shipped.
Thanks!

Introduction: Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a ubiquitous buzzword in the world of business, technology, and beyond. It is the technology that allows a machine or computer to simulate human cognitive processes like learning, problem-solving, and pattern recognition. AI has the potential to change virtually every aspect of the workplace, from how we work to who works, and what tasks we perform. This article will explore how AI will change the workplace and the implications for businesses and employees.
Presentation:

1. Automation and job displacement AI will likely automate many of the tasks that are currently done by a human, which will ultimately lead to job displacement. Repetitive and low-skill jobs, such as data entry, customer service, and assembly line work, are the most likely to be automated. As AI becomes more advanced, however, it will increasingly be able to carry out more specialized and complex tasks, such as surgery, financial analysis, and legal research. This will displace more skilled and highly educated workers. The displacement of jobs will not only affect low-skilled workers but also highly educated ones. However, it is also worth noting that while some jobs may be lost, new jobs will also be created in areas such as AI development, maintenance, and support.
   
2. Increased productivity and efficiency AI has the potential to supercharge productivity and efficiency in the workplace. By automating repetitive or menial tasks, AI can free up employees to focus on more strategic and creative work. Machine learning algorithms can analyze vast amounts of data and identify trends and patterns that humans might miss. This can help businesses make better decisions, increase customer satisfaction, and ultimately drive growth. AI can also perform tasks more accurately and quickly than humans, reducing errors and increasing output. The increased productivity and efficiency of AI will enable businesses to focus on innovation and growth, ultimately leading to a more profitable and successful enterprise.
   

Conclusion:
AI is rapidly changing the landscape of the workplace, and it is crucial for businesses and employees alike to adapt to these changes. While there are concerns about job displacement and the future of work, there are also many opportunities for increased productivity and growth. To harness the benefits of AI, organizations must invest in AI development, re-training and reskilling their workforce, and developing strategies to navigate the ethical and social implications of AI. As we continue to move towards a more AI-driven future, our ability to adapt and evolve will be the key to success.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 83%. (I'm a bot)

THE WASHINGTON POST - A rapid surge in global ocean temperatures in recent months is raising the specter of a climate pattern shift that could accelerate planetary warming and supercharge trends that already are fuelling extreme storms, deadly heat waves, and ecological crises on land and sea.
What's already certain: as greenhouse gas emissions drive a steady surge in global temperatures, the planet will continue to set new climate and weather precedents, and oceans will grow ever hotter.
Strong El Niños can also trigger ecological disasters and deadly weather extremes: drought and wildfires that cause rainforest loss, ocean warming that kills aquatic life and bleaches corals, rapid loss of polar ice, and a surge in transmission of diseases such as the plague.
The recent surge in ocean temperatures, while startling, follows on a decades-long trend of rising heat in the world's oceans, which scientists say have absorbed 90 per cent of the excess heat in the Earth's system in recent decades due to rising greenhouse gases.
A warmer ocean also means an expanding ocean, raising sea levels that affect coastlines and worsen flooding.
Scientists have found that ocean warming, while strong and steady overall, varies around the globe - with particularly rapid increases in heat in the Atlantic region off the US coastline.

Louelle, Scout Specialist Technical Exterminator
Date [standardized human time]: August 31, 2136
​
​
Limna was right where I left her. She was sitting hunched over the interface of our transportation vessel, and as we entered, she twitched her ear toward us.
- His sacrifice was in vain - she said in a somber tone, her slumped posture still facing the main holo. - They won’t even look at the evidence.
Within the corner of my vision, I saw Pilipin's face return to normal. Anger slowly washed away from his features, and instead confusion began to take its place. Perplexed, he signaled me with his tail to clarify. I took the hint and pointed my claw at the screens that displayed various camera feeds, and he quickly noticed that one with the feed from the meeting room camera was dark. He was also quick to add things up, and with this new realization, a spark of resentment flashed in his eye. With one hand, Pilipin slipped off the human-made colorful attire and considered its weight.
- Well then, why won’t you look at the evidence yourself! - He shouted and flung the dream catcher away, in the general direction of the female Venlil.
The moment she recognized Pilipin's voice, Limna quickly spun around in her chair to face us. Unfortunately, the offending rag caught her by surprise as it zipped past her and, with a muffled splat, landed right next to her.
- You’re alive! But we… what is this thing? - She started asking questions as her eyes flicked from Pilipin to the prismatic garment stuck to the bottom of the screen. - What happened? - Finally, Limna asked the question that actually mattered.
- First things first. Louelle, check if you can somewhat ‘burry’ our submission, preferably deep - Pilipin ordered and pointed the main terminal with his tail.
Without further ado, I went to the ship console to unceremoniously unseat the confused civilian. Limna, sensing what I was just about to do, scooted from her seat and observed as I reviewed the last snapshot of the message resync tool.
- And you! – Pilipin caught Limna's attention once more. - You will answer a very important question.
I got myself busy checking system registers but still overheard everything they were discussing.
- What translation method have you implemented for the conversation with the savage? - he asked with the utmost self-control.
- The t-text t-translation for both sides was managed by the built-in Dict-o-box. It-t was managed by your own holopad with an updated human language library - she responded after a moment of thought. - I found out the app defaults to that option when it detects latency spikes, or in our case, when I proxied your conversation, so…
- Defaults from what – Pilipin caught a detail, and I had to stop my work to listen to Limna's answer.
- You have to understand that the conversation through the app is not E2EE – she started going more into technical details while Pilipin went back to retrieve his holopad from the cabinet. - It goes through a third party monitor, in our case, me, and an online context broker for some fancy smart functionality.
- Stuff me and hand me over to the Grays – I groaned and covered my face in my claws, shocked by the information she omitted about such a crucial component in her ‘hack’.
- Excuse me? - she asked at a loss from my reaction.
- Dealing with languages without a translation model Dict-o-box communicates with its servers to provide information to update or create that model, in response, it receives a frame of reference data – I stated the obvious. - Pilipin, do you remember the screw ups with the first Yotul recruits, sir? - I asked Pilipin as he came back with his holopad in hand. He groaned and winced as probably memories of the fuck-ups those backwater primitives caused flooded his mind.
- Well, it looks like now I’m on the opposite end of the shit sitck – he commented about his situation and motioned with his tail for Limna to come with him.
- Alright. Louelle, you do you, and Limna, you’re coming with me. As I understand it, this context translation function works fine on verbal translation implants, right? - Pilipin asked her, and I didn’t hear a yes, but right after the question, he continued. - Great, we’ll have a quick voice-to-text experiment in the back, and then, considering the output, I’ll decide what to do next - the sound of closing sleeping cabin doors was what I heard next.
Right, let’s focus back on the report.
Logs cleared. Registers overridden. I left no trace of sending anything from this shuttle. Now to login with my credentials, and maybe I’ll even be able to revoke the predator attack report completely before it gets processed further down the pipeline.
Where in deep hell is it? Why is there no ID with the right time signature? It was automatically rejected? Why?
I reread the automatic reply in my mind, as this was the first time I saw this kind of flag attached to a report.
Now this is just treason.
The line was supposed to take into consideration all signs and reports of predatory behavior, but judging from the reply attached to it, that policy has recently changed.
"Due to the increasing amount of false positive sightings and reports of human ‘true nature’ all new submissions regarding human predatory behaviors have been temporarily suspended. We suggest rereading the ministerial pamphlet ‘Social predators and you’ on human conduct and practices or trying to consult the issue on your holopad with a dedicated human volunteer to resolve the problem."
Kicking back in the chair, I loosen up and let my mind wander.
That’s one problem out of mind, but damn. You can’t even file a formal complaint against them. This is it! The conquerors must be bribing the corrupt and tricking the single-minded, if not to eat them, then surely to slowly subjugate and enslave the Venlil population.
Lost in my musings, I faintly noticed the stifled laughs and shouting coming from the cabin until the door flung open to the side.
- NO! I don’t believe it! I don’t want to! - Pilipin was shouting as he exited the small cabin, gripping his holopad tightly in his hand, while Limna giggled, her laughter emanating from the inside.
Oooh, he’s really pissed.
The officer's short cut fur was standing up on its ends; you could see the gray, undyed undercoat poking from underneath. His tail was low and lashing, restlessly bouncing from end to end of the metal doorframe. Face orange with embarrassment and rage, eyes frantically looking for something to set on down finally stopped on me.
- Just... tell... me – he stated, huffing with rage. - You somehow managed to 'unexist' the report completely.
- Ye-s. It was… it has been dealt with – I replayed, not bothering to explain and enrage him further.
- Great. That’s a good thing. One good thing – he repeated, slowly cooling his emotions. - The camera room footage? - Pilipin asked while walking to my station.
Flicking the security app back to life made the feed appear on the second screen beside me… the one that got slightly obstructed by the rainbow garment stuck to its surface.
NOPE! I’m not touching that. Not now, not ever.
In the room, there was a lone Sivkit in a janitor uniform, sitting in an office chair similar to the one I was in. Judging from his posture, it was evident he wasn’t cut for the job, as he was drifting into sleep from time to time, bobbing his head up and down as the urge to take a nap got the better of him.
- Competent as the pair we met before – I murmured, resisting the urge to check the clinic feed. - It seems the footage is stored locally and deletes itself after a few rotations.
Fiddling and scrolling past the system logs back by date and not finding anything older than two standard cycles confirmed my suspicions that the station had limited storage space for recordings.
- I think it’s best we leave it alone and let it remove itself. Our meddling would draw further unwanted attention – I continued my thoughts to Pilipin as he watched the substitute operator's ineptitude to do his job proficiently with visible relief.
- Alright. Let’s just hope this won’t come back and bite us in the rear - he concluded. - That leaves us with only one problem remaining – he added, leaning on the console and crossing his arms over his chest. - The one waiting for us outside.
- Oh, come on! - Limna suddenly materialized behind me, shouting her opinion. - You’re going to dump him after you get the best lick of your life only because he doesn’t fit your narrative?
Glancing at my colleague, I was certain to find him infuriated again by that statement, but instead he got lost in his reverie, brooding at her words and glancing in the direction of the bulkhead doors.
You can’t be serious?!
- Well, I do have to confess that, for me, he did pass the empathy test… orally. – Pilipin then took a deep breath, probably ready to surrender further to his temptations, but instead his features suddenly changed.
It was clear as daylight that the Venlil officer had figured something out, and soon he shared his idea with newfound confidence.
- Alright, Joe said he wants some good time? I’ll show him some good time – said the trapper exterminator as a mischievous smile crept on his face. - I’ll give him the best time of his life. In return, we’ll have the opportunity to see his true colors and maybe gain access to some of the restricted data on humans.
That was a solid argument to keep the predator close despite the dangers it would carry. When working with humans at the space port, the translator's notifications were often labeled not safe for life or restricted. Some of the information that crept up during their conversations that the translator software picked up was even fully censored, or access to it was strictly denied.
- Pilipin, after all of this, do you seriously still think they are some kind of evil conquerors? - Limna asked, her shoulders slumped and her tail slightly cocked in disbelief.
- In one way or another...– he replied, and started to tap something on his holo.
A moment passed in silence as we were waiting for him to further expand on his statement. Instead, we were startled by the sound of metal scraping against metal, which was immediately followed by a loud thumping on the shuttle doors.
- The handle won’t budge! – A muffled, low growl emanated from the outside.
- Leave the handle alone! It’s for emergency use only! - shouted Pilipin, who rushed to assist by opening the door from the inside.
The officer pushed the big red button next to the entrance and almost immediately jumped away from a brown mass that assaulted him the moment they opened. I was too surprised to move, but Limna scampered back to the cabin, tripping on the raised doorstep and tumbling inside. The other thing that soon tumbled through, although through from the opposite direction, was Joe. Having the unfortunate benefit of watching all of this unfold from the comfort of a seated position, I observed the meat eater flop on top of his enormous backpack face-first.
- I suggest we tie him up for the trip – I stated my concerns as the clumsy excuse of a predator regained his composure and started lifting himself off the floor. – For safety reasons – I quickly added as Joe's gaze settled on me with killing intent.
- Is rope bondage just a big friendship bracelet for your kind, or is this just you? – Joe humored my concerns and started checking his traveling duffle, probably for any rips and tears.
- Ha hah ha! Go ahead, officer, cuff him. You’ll just get him more horny – Limna added her own criticism, peaking her ears from the cabin.
- Enough! All of you! - Pilipin ended our dispute before it would even begin and motioned with his tail for his acquaintance to come out. - Joe, this is Limna. Limna, that’s Joe.
Although I dislike being the butt of someone's jokes, the female Venlil came out relaxed from this short exchange of humor. Still, she approached with her ears perked up and pointed to the dangerous predator in front of her.
- Hi. Joseph Savage, or Joe for short – he spoke and hunched over, stretching his hand forward.
- H-h-hello. Limna... – she introduced herself in return, unsure what to do with the human appendage practically shoved in her face.
- That’s a human greeting – I threw my expertise in, probably saving her from any faux pas before she would come to any stupid conclusions... like maybe licking it. - You’re supposed to shake it.
She then proceeded to grip it with both of her hands and shake it in all directions.
Close enough.
- Great, now Limna here works in the PID. She will register you with the Magestratta. For the time being, your address of permanent residence will be assigned to my flat. She will handle the required paperwork on our way back – Pilipin reviled his plan. - Just follow Limna to the cabin and be a good predator. Don’t try anything stupid, you hear? - he added, pointing his finger to the predator's face.
- Sure thing, I remember orientations. Rule 8 includes ‘no petting without consent’ – Joe apologetically replied while Limna blushed orange on her face. - Although I thought it applied to different kinds of petting.
- The… WHAT? - Limna voiced her concerns, embarrassed by the lewd definitions the translation implant bombarded her vision with.
- That’s rule 73 for you – the predator quipped, quickly blinking with one eye at the female Venlil.
The human straightened himself, looked down upon the Venlil pair in front of him, and shook his head from side to side, letting out a small chuckle.
- Before I met my chew toy here in person, I thought you just didn’t like scritches. Now I think the guidelines have more to do with you keeping your dignity and not leaving an embarrassing snail trail on every pet person's lap you meet than…
- OUT! Git! - the officer yelled, his face orange with rage and embarrassment, not wanting to hear more about the depravity of his kind. - Go and fill out the bumfodder! - He shouted, probably not wanting to face more of the predator's lewd claims.
- Alright, alright! No need to go into super cheeto mode for this – Joe quickly came back on his comedy act – Ok, let's go fill them out.
We eyed the human being led to the cabin by Limna and felt relief as we soon heard the bureaucrat's first-line support interview questions.
Seething from the insult toward their kind, Pilipin walked back to the ship doors and closed them, pushing the button with a little more force than was normally required.
- Let’s go home, Louelle – he said with a sigh. - I need a cold shower.
I’m all for that, sir...

I’m 31 years old. I really wish my dad was still around. I really need his guidance.
two years ago I was hired as an assistant construction manager. 6 months ago, right before I was promoted to a NCM, I was moved to purchasing due to lack of job sites and lay offs. 8 people were fired and changes were made. I was great-full and moved to purchasing. At this time, I am an assistant purchasing manager. I have done very well in my position and my boss is awesome. In the next few months I will be promoted to a purchasing manager. At that time, I will get a 10k raise and a 10% bonus yearly.
Last week I was offered a new position as a land development associate. Our division president put my name out there for the opportunity. The pay is similar, maybe 4K more than I make now, and a 10% IPA. Downside, I would have to drive a lot more, I would be starting over in a new position, and it seems like it could be a stressful job. Right now, I have to be in the office 4 days a week. I can get there whenever and I leave around 3:30. It’s an hour drive to and from. The work is fairly easy. It’s indoors and computer work. This is my first office job. If I go to land, all of our sites are 1-2 hours from my house. I would get a gas credit but if it’s similar to the credit I had when I was an ANCM, it’s not that much. The director of land said he will never ask where I am as long as things are getting done but I’m not really sure what that means for being on site. Obviously I would need to be trained. I’m guessing I would be driving a lot to start. I have no idea what the hours would be but I’m guessing similar to my old position. 6:30-4:30 time frame.
I’m struggling with making the decision. as right now I know my path. I’ll get a raise soon, work is easy and kinda fun. I’m connected to a lot of different departments. If I take land, yeah I’m adding something to my resume, but the work seems to add more to my life. I’m pretty happy where I am. Since the president put my name out there I feel like I shouldn’t say no. He has become my mentor in a way. He said since I have field experience and purchasing, with my work ethic I would excel in land. Note, I do not have a college degree. I went to college but never finished. He also asked if I would be interested in going back to school to finish. He said if I did that, nothing could stop my from taking his job in the future. If I was offered this land position 6 months ago before purchasing, I would have jumped on it but now I’m pretty comfortable.
I know this is all over the place, but can anyone give me some guidance? What’s land like? What should I do? I’ve never had a massive corporate job so I don’t know what the right answer is.
