2023.06.06 04:23 bwc101 Navigating air travel
New to the area, and it seems like one of the perks of the LV area is the multiple options for air travel. With close proximity to two major international airports (maybe three depending if one wants to count JFK), it's nice to have options when I need to fly.
ABE is limited in flight destinations, but I'm aware booking from ABE on United or American could give you an itinerary where you take a bus to connect in EWR or PHL, respectively. Advantage of that is if you misconnect, United or American is responsible for reaccommodating you. Not sure if it's just my sample size, but are itineraries out of ABE usually significantly more expensive than those out of EWR or PHL? I also prefer not to fly Allegiant (or other no frills airlines), I much prefer the legacy carriers when possible.
Curious what you prefer when you need to fly? If you prefer to book from EWR or PHL and get to these airports on your own, how do you get there (e.g. drive, UbeLyft, some sort of public transport)? If you drive to these airports, any hacks for parking without breaking the bank?

2023.06.06 04:23 sarcastic-lil-shit Worst year of my life.
 | I commute from San Diego to LA twice a week. I love the surfliner. submitted by sarcastic-lil-shit to CaliforniaRail [link] [comments] I fucking hate driving and have taken the bus transfer about 10 times to avoid doing so. I guess I get super unlucky and it takes about 3+ hours everytime. To top this all off, I won’t need the surfliner after the 20th so just super unlucky for me. Still a huge bummer that the 3rd busiest corridor in america can’t be fixed and bumped up to 110mph with tunneling but we can spend billions of dollars on small stretches of the 5. Hoping they have the bus transfers open Thursday or I might have to leverage flix instead. I saw some people saying this will just be an “inspection” but based on the pictures I doubt that will be the case. |
2023.06.06 04:20 d4sies What do you guys make of my unusual story relating to dreams, a psychic, synchronicities/coincidences and the unconscious?
A few years ago, I was questioning my sexuality after a bad relationship, and started to genuinely think that I must be gay. The night I came to this conclusion, I ended up having a romantic/erotic dream about a guy I knew, named Luke. While I do think Luke is attractive, I hadn’t seen him in years, I don’t have him on social media and I never thought about him, so it felt very random to me. I just concluded that my unconscious pulled out someone I was attracted to in order to tell me that I wasn’t gay, that was fine.
Then, a few months later I was gifted a visit to a psychic for my birthday. He said numerous things, and then brought up romantic relationships. He told me that my ‘soul mate’ was someone I already knew, and that this person is called Luke. I thought that this was such a weird coincidence. He then said that we would ‘come together’ in September.
Eventually September rolled around, and we didn’t ‘come together’, but that month we ended up matching on a dating app.. but never speaking. I’ve decided not to reach out to him at all because the situation is just so weird to me, and if something is ‘meant’ to happen, it would be better to come from his end.
Since then, I’ve had a few random dreams about him, which I always put up to my subconscious desiring a ‘soul mate’ type relationship, and projecting this image onto him. About two weeks ago though, I had a dream about him and woke up. I (still) hadn’t seen him properly in years, but when I went to go get a coffee, he got off the bus at the exact same time I was going into the shop. I found this so weird!
I consider myself to be quite scientifically minded, so to keep myself grounded I’m just concluding that these are a bunch of weird coincidences. I don’t necessarily believe in psychics or soul mates, we didn’t end up meeting in September, and I’ve had numerous thoughts and dreams about him where I have not seen him that day, so I probably shouldn’t single that day out.
However, I would like to know what someone more educated in Jungian psychology makes of this, especially since it relates to dreams and what (I think) could be perceived as synchronicities. Would there be something more to this? Or are they just a bunch of unusual coincidences
TLDR: Thought I was gay, had a romantic/erotic dream about a random guy I know but hadn’t popped up in years. Psychic then told me a person I know with the same name is my soul mate and we’d meet in September. We matched on a dating app in September but nothing came of it. I’ve had numerous dreams since then, and ended up seeing him on one of the days I had one. Unsure what any of this means, if anything.

2023.06.06 04:19 GalderaTheFallen The Phrase "Conflict of Interest" is Overused and Misused
Hey, everyone! This is my first time posting on this subreddit and my first time making a post like this in general, so I apologize in advance for any formatting errors or things of that sort.
I recently got the idea to make this post after seeing Destiny watch The Young Turks discussing Joe Biden as well as seeing Destiny get in a conversation with someone who argued that the FDA had a "conflict of interest" with pharmaceutical companies. Lately, I have been seeing the phrase thrown around so much that it feels like it has lost a lot of its meaning and weight. I recently graduated from law school and I am currently studying for the bar exam, so there's a good chance that my opinion stems from my experience in the legal field. I am also mostly going to be tackling the phrase "conflict of interest" from that perspective in this post. Nevertheless, I still think my argument has some merit behind it because, to my knowledge, the phrase originated from (or, at least, was most commonly associated with) the legal field before it began being used the way it is used today.
Firstly, conflicts of interest generally arise in situations involving three or more people. The most prominent examples are when (1) an attorney is looking to take on (2) a prospective client's case but has a duty to (3) a current or former client. Nowadays, though, the phrase is typically used to refer to situations involving just two people. But, somewhat by definition, an agreement made between two parties cannot have a conflict of interest because such an agreement is usually formed when both parties already have interests that are aligned and that do not conflict (with some wiggle room so that each party feels content with how the arrangement played out for them). Much of contract law is based off of the idea that both parties feel like they are getting something out of it while pursuing some common goal. If two parties have a supposed conflict of interest, what they're really having is a scenario involving a misrepresentation, fraud, or a parting of ways.
The person Destiny spoke to who said the FDA had a conflict of interest with pharmaceutical companies was incorrectly using the phrase in the manner I have just outlined. That's not to say the person's argument had no merit, but a conflict of interest is a much bigger deal. What that person was describing was instead just a mere bias or incentive the FDA might have, not a conflict of interest. I think people are too willing to believe that other people or entities are far less likely to "go against" such biases and incentives than they actually are. Furthermore, people underestimate the complexity behind someone's self-interest.
Going back to the FDA example, sure, the FDA gets money from pharmaceutical companies, but to make the blanket assertion that that alone is enough for the FDA to want to get as much money from them as possible, despite the potential ramifications they would face if one of those companies were to harm the public by releasing a defective drug, is simply a bit one-sided and simple minded. Money alone is not as powerful of a motivator as people make it out to be, and an agency like the FDA would take into account far more factors when making decisions, especially when it ultimately only cares about itself. Whatever money it stands to gain is nothing compared to the political pressure it faces, the accountability it has to the public, and much more. The FDA would likely prefer to lose out on some money than be associated with whatever disaster might come about if it allowed a pharmaceutical company to distribute drugs that harm people.
As for what a conflict of interest actually is, we can look to Rule 1.7 and 1.9 (and their comments) of the American Bar Association's Model Rules of Professional Conduct.
Rule 1.7: Conflict of Interest: Current Clients (americanbar.org)Rule 1.7 Conflict of Interest: Current Clients - Comment (americanbar.org)
Rule 1.9: Duties to Former Clients (americanbar.org)
Rule 1.9 Duties to Former Clients - Comment (americanbar.org)
Notably, Rule 1.7(a)(2) and 1.9(a) provide guidance, stating that a conflict of interest exists when "there is a significant risk that the representation of one or more clients will be materially limited by the lawyer's responsibilities to another client, a former client or a third person or by a personal interest of the lawyer" and when "[a] lawyer who has formerly represented a client in a matter [ . . . ] thereafter represent[s] another person in the same or a substantially related matter in which that person's interests are materially adverse to the interests of the former client unless the former client gives informed consent, confirmed in writing," respectively.
The comments also help explain what a material limitation is. A lawyer asked to represent several individuals seeking to form a joint venture is likely to be materially limited in the lawyer's ability to recommend or advocate all possible positions that each might take because of the lawyer's duty of loyalty to the others. The critical questions being the likelihood of a difference in interests eventuating and, if that does happen, whether it will materially interfere with the lawyer's independent professional judgment in considering alternatives or foreclose courses of action that reasonably should be pursued on behalf of the client.
As for when a lawyer's personal interests can cause a conflict, one example is when a lawyer has discussions concerning possible employment with an opponent of the lawyer's client, or with a law firm representing the opponent.
Lastly, when it comes to former clients, a lawyer who recurrently handled a type of problem for a former client is not precluded from later representing another client in a factually distinct problem of that type even though the subsequent representation involves a position adverse to the prior client.
(There's also the Model Code of Judicial Conduct but for our purposes its basically the same thing)
It is even more difficult to have a conflict of interest with former clients, since the rules allow you to basically do anything as long as you aren't taking on the exact same case (or types of cases, in some instances) you were doing for your former client or involved in something where you could use your former client's confidential information against them. Plus, even if there is a conflict of interest, the majority of conflicts are "consentable," meaning the lawyer can proceed, despite the conflict, under the ethical rules so long as the lawyer obtains informed consent from each of the clients in writing (with the implication being that so long as people are aware of it and choose to proceed anyways, that's fine).
Sorry for the little rant, but it just seemed odd to me to hear so many people incorrectly using the phrase recently and using it for situations that just simply aren't conflicts of interest (because they involve two people or because they don't rise to the insanely high bar needed to actually be considered a conflict of interest). Thank you for reading!
TL; DR
People are using "conflict of interest" wrong, and we need to reclaim it by gatekeeping its use to high bar that the phrase requires and demands.

III. Conclusion
In summary, it is actually rather difficult for a conflict of interest to exist, given how narrow the scope of them is. The rules have a rather strict interpretation of what "adverse" means, to the extent that you basically have to be doing something against your client, in some way related to someone who is doing something against your client, or taking on multiple clients who might have competing interests (like one client's defenses requiring you to throw the other client under the bus) in order for what you're doing to be considered adverse.
It is even more difficult to have a conflict of interest with former clients, since the rules allow you to basically do anything as long as you aren't taking on the exact same case (or types of cases, in some instances) you were doing for your former client or involved in something where you could use your former client's confidential information against them. Plus, even if there is a conflict of interest, the majority of conflicts are "consentable," meaning the lawyer can proceed, despite the conflict, under the ethical rules so long as the lawyer obtains informed consent from each of the clients in writing (with the implication being that so long as people are aware of it and choose to proceed anyways, that's fine).

Hi! I’m moving to London in a weeks time and I was wondering if anyone had any good karate recommendations, in particular I’m looking for the style kyokushin as thats what I train in, however I am open to trying new styles.
I’ve had a look on google maps and could only find 3 dojos, the nearest one being a 40 min bus ride from me, but I was hoping there might be smaller, independent dojos that aren’t on the maps/as advertised?
Thanks in advance!

2023.06.06 04:10 KodokuOkami Was I assaulted?
I don't like calling myself a "survivor", because I don't think what I went through was anywhere near severe enough for me to consider myself that, especially when I look at the countless others that have gone through far worse, but there are those that insist that I am, so I figured I'd ask here.
This happened while I was living in Vegas a while back, when I was 19. I had just gotten off work at about 11 at night, and was waiting at the bus stop, when this dude who is very visibly drunk stumbles by and starts talking to me, asking for help. I don't remember exactly what he was asking, but he did ask me to head a little down the road with him, to where his family was staying. Even then, I knew the situation was very dangerous, but I was exhausted from work, so I wasn't capable of making the best judgement calls at the time. I also knew the area very well, was confident in my ability to fight the guy off if he became violent, and I was (and still kinda am) a bleeding heart when people in that state came to me for help. Vegas buses run fairly often, so I figured why not, and went with him.
I'll skip the unnecessary details, but keep in mind that I am a trans woman. I bring that up because he was very "romantically handsy" with me while we walked down the street; calling me his girlfriend, holding my hand, walking close, that sort of thing. Given his state, I didn't mind it too much, so I humored him and played along, always keeping on edge in case things went south. I didn't expect him to turn my head towards his and kiss me, though. It was certainly a lover's kiss, I'll say that much. I froze in shock for a moment, but began to push away when I felt him getting a little too comfortable with his hands, I'll say. He played it off like it was nothing and continued down the road. I, on the other hand, was definitely still shaken, though I put on my best customer service poker face to try and hide it. I felt violated, for sure, but I had at least stopped him before he went further. I wanted to turn and run back to the bus stop I was at, but I knew I'd feel overwhelmingly guilty about just abandoning him without knowing he's at least someplace safe in his drunken state, so I stayed with him. The next bus stop wasn't too much further anyway, so I carried on. We did stop at a convenience store, and I did tell some of the people there that he was drunk and I didn't know him, and to call Police if he came back this way later and I wasn't with him.
Fast forwarding a little more (the walk took far longer than I'd have liked), and we stopped at a nearby casino parking lot so he could drink the beer he bought from the convenience store, which I did advise was a bad idea but hey, couldn't expect him to listen to reason at the moment. The next bus stop was very close, and the next bus was due to arrive relatively soon, so I leaned against a nearby post for one of the large casino signs you see all over Vegas. I had my phone out, wondering who I could call to make sure both I got home safe, and this guy got the help he needs, when this guy presses against me, pretty much pinning me against the post. He was gentle about it, but it was still enough to catch me off guard. I couldn't understand what he was saying through the slurred speech, but judging by his eyes and where his hands were moving, I had a fairly good idea of what he wanted. Before I could do anything about it, though, two of the casino's parking lot security pulled up on bikes and asked us what we were doing, thinking we were just two overzealous teenagers or something. I distanced myself from the guy and explained the situation, albeit poorly due to my shaking voice and failing façade. They separated us and one of them asked me something while the other one got the drunken man to walk back up the road and away from me. I don't remember what the other guard asked me, as my mind was still reeling from what the actual hell was going on, but he didn't let me leave until the other guy was out of sight. He then asked if I wanted a ride home in one of their cruisers, and I declined. I just walked to the nearby bus stop, just in time to catch my next bus. I texted my mom about it, and she was the first to say that it was definitely assault and a reportable offense but again, I was way too exhausted to make a report about that so late at night. Even moreso after the fact. But I had also heard countless stories of other people who had gone through far worse than that, and I really didn't think it appropriate for my mother to be saying I'd "survived abuse", as she was adamant about. It was wrong, sure, but again, I'd heard far worse stories, and had known people close to me who had it much worse. So, I just filed it away in my mind as another weird Vegas occurrence.
Now, however, the memory keeps resurfacing every now and again, and I wonder if it really was as big a deal as everyone made it out to be - then and now. So I figured I'd make a post here and ask, to at least get some sort of definitive answer.

I texted my mom about it, and she was the first to say that it was definitely assault and a reportable offense but again, I was way too exhausted to make a report about that so late at night. Even moreso after the fact. But I had also heard countless stories of other people who had gone through far worse than that, and I really didn't think it appropriate for my mother to be saying I'd "survived abuse", as she was adamant about. It was wrong, sure, but again, I'd heard far worse stories, and had known people close to me who had it much worse. So, I just filed it away in my mind as another weird Vegas occurrence.
Now, however, the memory keeps resurfacing every now and again, and I wonder if it really was as big a deal as everyone made it out to be - then and now. So I figured I'd make a post here and ask, to at least get some sort of definitive answer.
2023.06.06 04:09 SubstantialTwist8410 I saw my lost love for the second to last time 40 years ago this week
I met the "perfect" girl 40 years ago my senior year of university. Not bragging, but she was quite a stunner. People would stop talking when she walked into a bar or room, guys would try to act cool and suck in their bellies, girls would give "the look" to each other. She was a lifeguard in Socal, played several sports, was the color of fine browned bread and Jewish to top it all off. I'm not Jewish, but for some reason dated many many Jewish girls. This was the most I have every felt for anther human being, nothing has come close in all the years since.
Had a wonderful last semester then I graduated. She was a few years behind me and transferred to a different uni back West. I went out to find my way in the world, but soon fell into mental health problems that were waiting in the wings most of my life. Drinking was out of control when I was 15 and now I was in the real world and my brain of darkness and the booze were doing a number.
Anyway we stayed in touch, and a few years later we got together in NY. I was crashing, and she was not happy that I wasn't happy and the night was a short one. She left and I never saw her again. We wrote to each other, but I stopped answering her letters in the late 80s, too painful.
Good news is I got sober, got medical help for depression and started a new career. I would think of her every morning, wonder what she was doing, how she was. that went on until I was 55 years old. Social media I don't use, but I did find her address and I wrote a letter about my life. No question for her, just what had gone on in the past 30 years. I didn't put my return address on it, just sent it - that was that.
Two years go by and one day mail comes and there is a letter in a script that I remember. I teared up immediately and threw the letter in a cupboard. After a couple weeks I opened it. It was nice, asked a lot of questions, told me about her children and their colleges.
Something changed in my that month, I stopped thinking about her every morning. I realized that our time was not so special to her as it was to me. Or maybe that feeling just died in her 30 years ago. The good thing was I stopped feeling like I did something wrong and missed some existential bus I was supposed to be on in 1984. Today I shrug, not in a sad way, but in a fashion of "whatever" - I won't spend any more time on the matter. Now i'm in my early 60s and the days of romance are probably behind me. I find joy from walking, kayaking, painting, travel, family (I never married so I have to live vicariously through my nieces and nephews).
Lost loves are usually lost for some good reason - don't torture yourself.

2023.06.06 03:53 TheCaptainHustle Almost beaten up by a racist on a NYC bus.
I am still pretty shook after what happened yesterday when my gf and I were travelling on a bus going to Staten Island from Broadway.
We are both Indians, if that matters.
It was our last day in NYC and in America as tourists. We were going back before midnight to our place in SI.
Exhausted, we boarded the bus only to realise that my gf left her phone at the bus stop.
To make matters worse, only her phone has a US SIM card, making my phone virtually useless without WiFi (ran out of data).
We asked the driver if he could stop but understandably, he told us that the next stop is in 15 mins.
While waiting, I asked a person who boarded the bus after us if I could borrow his phone to make a phone call to my family.
I dialled my family, told them that we are safe and to call on her phone to see if we can retrieve it before it gets stolen.
I was speaking in my native language, because that is what I am used to.
While speaking on the phone, I suddenly realised the person who gave me the phone cut it mid-call and snatched the phone away from me.
He may have gotten triggered by something he heard in my language. I was pretty weirded out but chalked it up to “people are different”.
My family who wanted more information called back the number, only to be met with raging abuse on the part of the stranger whose phone I borrowed.
It took me a while to understand that this guy is talking to my family. He kept threatening to punch me in the face to my family and upon hanging up, he started a vitriolic speech that referred to my gf and I as lying scammers who used his phone to gain access to his finances.
He went on to claim that he stopped me midway from coordinating with an international operator to scam his money.
He called on all the people on the bus to look at the scammers he caught AKA us. It was scary and humiliating to say the least.
The strangest thing is I know not to mess with randos, so I selectively chose a guy who seemed the most innocuous. This is as opposed to the guy seated next to me unapologetically watching porn.
Aghast, I thought someone on the bus would step in (they do in my country) but they looked at us like scammers and didn’t show any reluctance in taking videos of us in the moment (the videography could be positive but everything seemed so sinister at the time).
In hindsight, I should have probably spoken in English but English is not my first or second language. It was a force of habit to talk to my family in my native tongue in a distressed situation.
To add insult to injury, he started asking the bus driver to stop the bus and kick us out.
He kept going and going. Obviously, I was trying not to engage but when there is a more than likely chance of getting punched, it is hard to look away.
I kept telling myself that he could have a gun to prevent myself from instinctively appealing or even picking up my phone to call 9-1-1 (SOS).
He got off at the next stop, yelling at us to get down with him. My gf spoke to the driver who was kind enough to understand that we didn’t feel safe being dropped in the same stop.
We got down at the stop after that, ran to a convenience store and called our family to emolliate them and to let them know that we are safe.
Boy, that could have been a whole lot worse! Tarnished an otherwise spectacular nyc trip.
Note that we have been travelling the US for a month now with 0 bad experiences. Don’t know how to feel about returning after being made to feel unsafe in this way.
Writing this post to get it off my chest and vent.

2023.06.06 03:51 Tetizeraz r/Brazil will join other subreddits in a site-wide blackout beginning June 12
TL;DR: due to changes in Reddit's API, Brazil will join the protests, turning into a private subreddit between 12 June to 14 June.
What is going on?
Reddit made some changes to how its API is accessed, effectively charging developers for API calls. That means that third party applications, academic research, bots, and scripts that make Reddit better for users and mods will be affected.Although talks had been going on for a while, the app Apollo (iOS) developer revealed that he would probably have to pay USD20 million per year. Also, the app got featured in the latest Apple WWDC event.
Another thing: third party apps like Apollo are great for accessibility. This post over blind has more details, click here.
What is going to happen, then?
Brazil, together with +1000 subreddits, will go private, starting on 12 June, and will last for 48 hours.You simply won't be able to access the subreddit, or see new posts in your feed from us or subreddits that are going dark. The number of subreddits will only increase by the day.
What can you do to help?
- Complain to Reddit over modnews, reddit, and other places where this is being discussed. Note that we're not encouraging you to spew personal attacks, hate speech, etc, towards the admins.
- Spread the word. More and more subreddits are joining every day via ModCoord, while Save3rdPartyApps has a list of demands.
- Boycott. Your support comes from hurting Reddit's pockets.
LATAM subreddits that have confirmed their participation (as of the time of this post) includes chile, uruguay.
Other regional subreddits include greece, Slovakia, Suomi and Finland, Italy, and portugal might have a statement by tomorrow.
Click here to see all the participating subreddits. Some province/city/county subreddits are also in, like Toronto and BritishColumbia.
Signed,
The Brazil modteam

Ellis - "I want to help you carry that body!" Boyd - "How the hell are you walking around?!?! You got stabbed in the gut, and then Dr. Med Student punctured your lung to release the pressure. And now you're just walking around clutching your side like you got kicked hard in the ribs?!?!" Ellis - "But... I... uh... wince a lot?" Boyd - "We had to use the elastic out of Donna's underwear to make the thread for those stitches. You shouldn't be moving!" Kirsti - "But he is! Booyah! Med School Bitches for the WIN!!! You can suck it! You can suck it! And you can suck it!" Fatima - "I'm pregnant!" Kirsti - "You realize the likelihood of you being displaced in time and having the baby sooner rather than later is profoundly high." Fatima - "?!?!" Kirsti - "Look, Checkov's Baby states that if we introduce an unexpected pregnancy to a bisexual swinger and her abusive boyfriend in the first act, it has to be dealt with by the third act. And I don't think an abortion or miscarriage is in the cards for this show. So time baby it is! I mean, otherwise the baby storyline is pointless. Why even bring it up?" Fatima - "... To... maybe add drama for our characters? I mean, everyone's forgotten that Ellis was a mean-drunk jerk. We need some sort of hook." Kirsti - "This is a mysterious show about monsters and shit. You don't really think the writers are lazy enough to throw in a pointless pregnancy story thread?" Fatima - "..." Kirsti - "Point taken."
Dale - "I'm kinda' sorry I stabbed Ellis I guess, but maybe if I whisper yell at you about food scarcity and those bus people we can put this silly thing behind us?" Donna - "... Alright, but I'm going to keep you locked up while we figure out what to do." Dale - "Sweet! When do I get second breakfast then?"
Jim - "We need to be a team!" Tabitha - "Wait. Aren't we supposed to be contemplating a divorce or something?" Jim - "That was last week! This week we need to agree to keep our son away from the emotionally stunted-" Tabitha - "It's called autism Jim. Victor has autism." Jim - "Really?" Tabitha - "Well, kinda'. I mean, we'll never call it that because it'd be insensitive, but... yeah, basically." Jim - "And they let him carry a gun in his lunchbox?" Tabitha - "Look. He's lived here, on his own, longer than the rest of the people here combined, and then doubled. The fact we haven't made him king because of his knowledge and hang on his every word is a testament to how stupid we are all." Jim - "Enough of this. Changing the subject, I heard a scary voice on the radio!" Tabitha - "Not as scary as the ghost children I saw in the caves underneath the town!" Jim - "Radio guy knew what we were doing!" Tabitha - "And those rocks they left stacked were really fucking scary!" Jim - "Oh yeah? Radio guy sounded 'rural', if you get my drift!" Tabitha - "Ghost kids wanted hugs!" Jim - "My thing is scarier!" Tabitha - "No, mine!" Jim - "Mine!" Tabitha - "Screw you! I'm eating the last pancakes in the world before we all starve." Jim - "No flapjacks? Denied? Aw damn it."
Kenny - "Ignorance is bliss you fools!" Boyd - "No it's not Kenny. We need to learn as much as we can to improve our odds of surviving these things. Now let me just get real close to this monster I know nothing about, because I'm pretty sure I have plot armor up until the last season at least." Kristi - "Maybe we should get gloves?" Kenny - "It's evil! EVIL IN YOUR HOUSE!" Kristi - "Wait, are we talking the monster or my fiancee?" Kenny - "I'm not jealous! There's lots of girls I talk to!" Kristi - "Don't worry. You'll always be my backup plan."
Jim - "I'll show you some half-sincere kindness." Randall - "I'll see your half-sincere kindness and accuse you of being a pedophile." Jim - "Well, that escalated quickly."
And I think that covers the first 15 minutes.

2023.06.06 03:47 elenah7 I (F23) want to quit my job but my parents are begging me not to.
First, I think I need to clarify some things.
I am currently working in the Film Industry. This career path was not really my choice. I studied cinematography because, for many reasons, my parents pressured me to do it. It was partly because I was offered the chance to study in a very prestigious Film School with an scholarship. At the time it seemed to me like turning it down would be a mistake.
However, the fact that my parents worked in the Film Industry in the past also had a lot to do with it. Their careers never truly took off, so I suspect they are trying to live their broken dreams through me, although they deny it every time I say so.
I'm earning very little. I'm not starving by any means but my life is far from comfortable, especially because I'm trying really hard to save money. My parents want me to contribute with the expenses of the household (which is completely fair) but also to save money, so I literally have like 50$ of "fun money" every month. I usually end up spending it in stuff for work, candy or in the public transport.
I'm not used to earning so little and lately it's been affecting me a lot. Especially because both my mom and sister make a lot of money, and I feel like a major loser when I compare their incomes to mine.
Although I don't hate it, I don't really like my job. I also work Monday to Saturday and my daily work shift is 10 hours plus 4 hours of commute. I don't have the means to move to a place closer to my job at the moment.
Obviating the schedule, my job is exhausting for me because I am autistic and it forces me to interact with a lot of people and pay attention to many, many things at once. Which I'm uhhh really terrible at. I'm also studying remote full time, and I'm working a second job as a freelance copywriter.
Lately, I don't have the time to take commissions as a copywriter because I'm always tired and when I'm home I just want to rest. My mom is encouraging me to keep working, even though I literally don't have the time. She thinks I should just write while I'm on the bus.
I'm already failing at school and I'm pretty sure it's impossible for me to finish this semester. I want to dropout but everytime I bring it up my parents guilt trip me into continuing my studies.
I'm aware I get tired more easily because of my condition, but I'm convinced that working two jobs while studying full time is not something even neurotypicals can easily do.
What I really want to do is quit my job and just work as a freelancer full time, because the pay is so much better. I know that if I keep at it I can rise high in the company where I'm working, though.
Mainly because there's like 5 people in the country who have a degree like mine, and I've actually managed to make some pretty good connections. It could take years or even a decade for me to climb the corporate ladder, though, and I don't think it's worth waiting for so long, when I could just find a better job somewhere else. I told my mom I want to quit and she begged me to wait at least one more month to see if I get a promotion. I'm burned out, tired and depressed, though, and I just want this to be over.
I know I should be able to make my own decisions at this point in life, but I don't know how. I feel like any decision I make independently would be a mistake. Should I quit? Or just keep going to see where it gets me?

2023.06.06 03:40 Beneficial_Letter851 The government drove me crazy
Over the past year I’ve moved to Texas, been to jail, and had my memory re-jogged. It’s a long story of truth & lie and what’s next. This making my life a massive mystery to who I am. As a child I was told my “dad” was my stepfather an I was in a government gifted youth ring in a Massachusetts town. I regained memory of being told I was gifted youth and my mother was artificially inseminated with jfk’s sperm which I agree sounds nuts, but could also be possible. I was a standup comedian in the Boston are for a few years an had vague messages coming to me through podcasts. The podcasters called me Richard an were putting in messages in there podcast to try an kill me. Funny no it was serious I wasn’t noticing. On Facebook, twitter an Snapchat I have constantly gone through these period were it seemed like my phone was trying to make me kill myself. But it was people posting things about me an anything they thought would make me kill myself…. I didn’t. My whole town has constantly gone against me, making ride a short bus across town to go to a different school to feel like a loser or idiot. I found this funny because I had already gone to prestigious camps and schools at one point being enrolled in 3 schools at once, giving me more knowledge than the children around me. I was gifted, I knew survival skills, math, business, science, animals. I even eventually built a koi pond as a child where I have a memory of michael Phelps gifting me a turtle. Which could be bs but I did make the pond an had a turtle, koi, an a swan it was cool. I was always building things even had a book of inventions. I invented the swifter like the dish cloth on a pole with a misting cleaner. I invented a few things an had them stolen. Then when I started having my memory re jogged I remember about how so many inventions have been stolen an the whole science community has had people trying to destroy it for centuries. My family member worked for Raytheon for awhile an I was told he was a salesman, then to find out about a month before going to prison I found out he was a spy that drugged an killed people. So it would make sense if my mothers father was involved in espionage then I could have ended up in a gifted youth ring. But it seems it’s nothing but destroying and stealing from these potential young leader then destroying there lives. When I moved to Austin to pursue my standup comedy I was being drugged everywhere I went, all the local comedians were doing sets about me which I find funny because there all madly in love with me which is actually disgusting but yea so the club I was frequenting an tried to help out the owner by performing there she offered me gigs in nyc. I went all the gigs she told me she could get me weren’t there. I still ended up hosting a show at a club. That’s all besides the fact I started to get my memory re jogged after I didn’t go back to Texas from nyc I went “home” to an evil place. There I remembered about my step dad an how he sex trafficked me as a child an how my mother would take naked photos of me as a child. An I was told if I went to dc I would become the president. While I was in dc everyone seemed to know me an everywhere I went I saw black suvs with American flags. They told me if I stabbed and killed my evil stepfather that sex trafficked me in my sleep I would become the president. I did an I went to jail, to be charged with attempt of assault with dangerous weapon. Now I still have memories coming back even memories of being raped an molested and it sucks.

2023.06.06 03:39 Quick-Procedure-9310 Does anyone know if the police cares about driving a 50cc scooter without a license?
Sorry for the stupid question, of course I know it's probably not legal.
So, me and my two brothers are visiting Montenegro from mid July to August. We are 20, 19 and 17 years old.... Neither of us has a driver's license. Has anyone had experience with something like this? Or is it possible to bribe the cops or something? We would like to rent scooters for 1–2 weeks to explore the area, as that is probably the best option. I assume that there are no good bus or train connections, and we want to see as much as possible... I have already heard that some/most of the scooter rentals do not pay attention to the driver's license, especially for tourists when they pay a little extra. What about the police?
