Do you think the only acceptable drinking game is "shut up and drink"? Have you been drinking long enough that most of your drinking buddies are now either full blown or recovering alcoholics? Are you drunk several nights a week, but don't need a beer to get out of bed, haven't lost a house/cajob because of the drink, and have never had an intervention? Then you might be in the right place, pull up a stool champ, your a Bar Room Hero.

Grumpy Old Bastard... submitted by thoughtclimax to LookatMyHalo [link] [comments]


2023.06.02 01:32 annoyedtunisian Prediction about the president's next move: controlling the central bank. It's coming soon.

I've been saying this for a long time and I also hear economists for a while try to avoid talking about it but you can tell they allude to it and they warn against it indirectly but now it became obvious. The president's plan was to take over the central bank the entire time.
He insists over and over again that we have the means and we have the money and that we're going to rely on ourselves. He also says over and over again that the only problem is laws preventing us from access to our money. His populist followers repeat this in the sense that we have the resources (like oil, phosphate..etc) but they were stolen and whatnot, and other people clown him for saying it and say he's delusional. I don't think he is. He knows there's 7 billion dollars in foreign currency reserves in the central bank, you can check here. He also knows he can print money to bankroll the government's local expenses until 2024 elections and say inflation is up because of "e7tikar". To him the only problem is changing the laws to use that money.
This is the same guy whose government depleted all strategic reserves and keeps lying about it saying we're running out of basic necessities because of "e7tikar". They used the reserves for wheat otherwise we wouldn't have run out of bread, and they did the same for oil reserves. He doesn't care or understand the usefulness of reserves and he's going after the most important of all reserves, the one keeping the dinar a real sovereign currency: foreign exchange reserves held by the central bank.
Another reason is that the central bank is the only remaining source of reliable data about finances because since 2021 the government stopped being transparent about what loans it got, from whom, how much interest...etc but the central bank still publishes stats and those stats can show you what's happening.
Now why is this happening soon? there's some obvious reasons and not so obvious ones.
The most obvious ones is that right before something big happens, the president's parrots like Najib Dziri and whatnot start talking about the topic and facebook pages start spewing nonsense about that specific thing that's about to happen. This happened before he called for changing the constitution, before the whole racism mess, before the arrests, before the president said his nonsense theory about the boat in Zarzis...etc.
Right now all of a sudden, all of his parrots are attacking the central bank and talking about how it shouldn't be independent and magically at the same time there's a proposal to the parliament to do just that. Bloomberg, which is not afraid of the US government itself, reported this and the assembly suddenly backtracked and said no there's no proposal after saying the opposite the same day. His comments in Monastir about rejecting IMF ruined Tunisian bonds and I guess they got scared this time and the ministers...etc are probably trying to convince him not to do it.
The less obvious reason why this will be done anyways and soon in my opinion is that the president is very stubborn. He learned a tactic he used when changing the constitution: inviting experts to give their opinions, then ignoring their advice and doing what he wants anyway. He is using these experts to pretend like they support his plan and all he did was just some minor changes when in reality he had an entire other constitution ready that had "bine2 9a3idi" that experts told him not to do. He's doing the exact same thing right now with the central bank: he just invited a bunch of economists and he's going to use them to legitimize taking control of the central bank even if they tell him it's a bad idea. He's going to propose it to the parliament and his puppets there will start a fake debate and pass it eventually.
The other much less obvious reason is that he has to do this soon. The government needs to pay bond coupons worth 163m in August and more importantly 534m in October (source) but they're struggling to find money to pay for food especially now that the world bank and the US stopped giving us money (not loans) for food. The best case is lots of revenue of tourism and remittances in the Summer to avoid defaulting in August but eventually something needs to be done before October.

Anyone else feel like they have too many stores?
I feel like since Crumbl has so many stores, it’s gonna be hard to get all of the supplies out for cookies, making the lineups more boring since there’s limited supply. Hence why the lineups are just getting more repetitive…

(1)
The Main Goal:
Well if you’re browsing this subreddit then much like me, you were alone this weekend and I’m sure you’d like to change that as much as me. I won’t lie, I am going through a rough part of my life right now. It’s difficult for me to find the energy for anything at the moment and I’m just really seeking affection in general, anything that will give me a push. I don’t want to be that person who brings everyone down but I could really use someone to talk to right now. I’d really like to find someone who’s similar to me so much to the point that we do everything together and talk about everything while not having to pretend to be interested. I want someone with whom we can mutually spew our emotions onto and have those feelings reciprocated. Not an emotional punching bag, but an emotional teddy bear to hug and cuddle until everything feels better as many times as we need. There’s people who I’m sure have told you the same, they’ll be there no matter how many times you need the support, no matter how many times the insecurities and bad thoughts come back but they don’t mean it. I will be the exception, I’m not so ignorant to think some nice words and tales of relating to you will magically forever heal whatever ails you then get mad when you seek the same support again. Mental ailments are rarely temporary and I don’t care about someone because they’re perfect, caring about someone means being there no matter how many times they need you to be. It doesn’t feel like a chore, it doesn’t get old, and it never will.
(2)
(2.a)
What I'm Seeking:
I will upfront let you know if I’m clicking better with someone else or if you’re the one, I’m not here to tread the sea of fish or keep my options open, I’m here for one singular person.
(2.b)
Relationship:
A relationship is difficult for me right now, it’s been nearly half a year since I got out of my last relationship and the reasons for it ending are partially responsible for how I’ve been feeling and why it’s so hard for me to seek the comfort I so desperately crave. I will tell you about it but for the sake of not treating the entirety of the internet as my therapist, it’ll be in private. I really need the comfort of intimacy and the warmth of someone who cares. I'm not going to feel better if I just sulk and don’t move on. This is my attempt to get better, I’ll admit I’m not great right now and I don’t expect you to be either. If we can help each other heal, then I’d be more than happy :) A relationship isn’t just being there for when someone’s at their best. Even if a relationship is hard at the moment, I do want a life partner and I don’t want to be alone. Things aren’t going to get easier without you so I don’t want to hesitate. I view my other as an equal, I don’t like categorizing us into specific roles. We take care of each other and treat each other how we like to be treated, whatever that is, it's as simple as that. I don't care if you're "successful" or not, living simple lives with our days filled with love is the ultimate measure of success to me.
(3)
Personality:
(3.a)
On the Surface:
As you can tell I can be rather… stoic but that’s largely due to my current stressors, I truthfully am goofy and fun loving but I just can’t find it in me right now. I want to return to that but without someone to light up my world it’s been difficult to just have fun and enjoy stuff. I’m definitely more introverted, you won’t catch me at any parties or really outside at all. I definitely prefer being home though the occasional outing is not out of the question and one day I’d like to travel to other countries because I think that kind of perspective is important.
(3.b)
The Core of My Being:
I like being a spectator to it all and if we bear witness to humanity burning or its miraculous recovery, I want to watch it with you. I enjoy watching humanity advance, less so when it devolves but I want to watch it to the end nonetheless. I’m both a realist and someone who lives with my head in the clouds dreaming of scenarios or worlds that don’t exist. I’m saying that I enjoy a good narrative and can suspend my disbelief to enjoy something but you won’t catch me refusing vaccines or ignoring blatant facts for the sake of some pseudo science or witch doctor’s remedy. I’m an atheist but I do not rule out existence after death, not because I’m agnostic but because due to the nature of potentially infinite time at some point after how many googol years with a googol amount of 0s after that, something’s bound to replicate your consciousness perfectly at some point. It’s actually a really fascinating topic I like talking about. If infinite time and infinite possibilities exist, does non existence exist? Though that’s an awfully existentially dreadful thought process considering the ramifications of infinite existence and infinite possibilities during said infinite existence. I would say I’m confidently left leaning and I don’t think I could truly get along with anyone right leaning, at least America’s definition of right leaning. Left and right seems to have just become; do people deserve to suffer or do they deserve to live good lives? Being political is not something I expected to become but how can you not be when crimes against human rights are being passed on a daily basis and at the end of the day, everything’s political. Oftentimes I imagine the perfect moment as relaxing with my significant other playing games or cuddling in a cold room under blankets.
I value that special someone above all of the existential thoughts, the bad of the world, the good of the world, they practically become my world. So many worries wash away when I’m with them. I don’t know if that’s the defense mechanism my brain created to not feel bad 24/7 but if it is, I’m currently without it.
(3.c)
Insecurities:
I talk of philosophy and politics here but really I spend most of my time just playing games, watching stuff, and trying to not be sleep deprived. I’m also nowhere near as well spoken, heck sometimes I feel like my speech is broken. I won’t claim to be something I’m not, I sit at home while I complain about the world doing nothing about it wishing I had someone here with me. I’m not noble nor do I really want to be, I have morals I uphold but much like most other hypocrites I acknowledge that my comfortable life is built on the suffering of others without doing anything about it. Why? My sleep problems? Am I depressed? Is that why I have no energy to do anything? Do I just think nothing I could do could help? I can’t nail it down myself, maybe it’s a mix of everything, maybe I’m just a bad person. I have always told myself that if I had wealth I would help people but if I get that kind of wealth will I just become a wealth hoarder who tries to justify my riches as something I earned rather than something given to me through incredibly lucky circumstances? If I do help people is it because I’m a good person or out of guilt? Will I die alone? I feel like I drive everyone away with my clinginess, I get paranoid often and need reassurance often. It’s something I want to work on, something I’ve been trying to work on. Hearing that someone cares about me just never gets old. I value self awareness even if it’s painful.
(3.d)
Socializing:
I’m definitely a socially anxious/awkward mess, especially around strangers. I do feel a large amount of anxiety in public, people can’t tell by looking at my face since I kind of go stone faced in an attempt to block everything out but yeah you’ll notice that if we go out in public. Growing up my pediatrician said I was probably autistic, never got a formal diagnosis so that’s just great. But yeah that explains why I can’t make eye contact with people, I kinda just stare at the ground and avoid their gaze at all costs. A lot of these social struggles go away to a great degree once I know you for a bit but yeah I apologize for how terrible I am at socializing at first. Don’t let my social struggles fool you though, I love cuddling and being close with my person.
(3.e)
Sexuality:
I am a heterosexual male, though I’m not very masculine like at all. I may even be a bit feminine sometimes. Not that I believe any activity or manner of acting belongs to a gender but I don’t know how else to describe it. I’m definitely super affectionate and love it when my partner is too. I am open to dating demi people but I do have a libido so I don't think asexual would work out.
(4)
Interests:
(4.a)
Video Games:
As stated before, I do spend a lot of my time playing video games. It’s been hard lately with me having no energy but I really do want to play more games and have a good time playing them with you! I primarily play on PC though I do have a switch. I’m primarily into platform fighters, roguelikes, open world, survival, and sandbox games. As for single player story games, I enjoy watching them through twitch or youtube but for the most part I don’t play them myself. I’d watch you play them though!
Here’s a list of games we can play:
-Minecraft (Java)
-Risk of Rain 2
-Gunfire Reborn
-Roboquest
-7 Days to Die
-Phasmophobia
-Rust
-Unturned
-Bloons TD 6
-Platform fighters: Super Smash Bros. Melee, Slap City, Multiversus, Flash Party, Fraymakers
Whatever you want to play I’ll give it a shot! I will say that League bores me to death but I’ll play it for you :) I try to avoid MMOs, not because I don’t like them but because of how addicted I can get to them. I enjoy learning games in-depth so MMOs can be a fast track to addiction.
I recently got Kerbal Space Program 2 and ehhh not really worth it right now but hopefully later it will be? I’m super excited for Tears of the Kingdom! In the far off future I’m excited for Rivals of Aether 2 which is a platform fighter releasing in 2024, let me know of your most anticipated releases and I’ll see if I could play them with you!
Also I never got into FPS games but I could totally see myself playing like CoD with you or Escape From Tarkov. Any FPS really, I’m down.
I am a fan of Pokemon but with how things have been lately I don’t know how long that will last. Pixelmon is a common Pokemon mod I play for Minecraft if you want to play that! Also if I say I want to play something with you I mean it but there are often times when no matter how much I want to I'm just drained and can do little more than lay in bed so please don't think I'm making an excuse.
(4.b)
Science:
I really enjoy keeping up with the latest advances in pretty much everything, it could be biology, technology, astronomy, anything! I love seeing progression and I love talking about it! Really I could go on and on about what I’m obsessing about that day. I particularly love technology, ask me for my laptop specs I dare you. When I was little I always wanted to be a scientist of any kind but then insomnia and fear of college stuff hit me like a truck aaaand that’s the end of that dream.
(4.c)
Anime:
You got me, I like anime but I’d like to think my tastes are benign.
Here’s some of my favorites I can list from the top of my head:
- To Your Eternity
- Vinland Saga
- Spice and Wolf
- Re:Zero
- Mob Psycho
- Dr. Stone
- Attack on Titan
- Spy x Family
- My Hero Academia
- Ranking of Kings
- Demon Slayer
Okay I can go on and on but I will say I don’t like pointless fan service and the spamming of cliche anime moments. I mostly enjoy action and anything well animated if it doesn’t have a potato story. Heck Demon Slayer could be my top 3 out of season 2’s animation alone. I don’t watch slice of life often or romance but I would with you!
(4.d)
Misc:
I’m not going to go on and on about the tiniest little things when the main ones are covered but I’ll watch pretty much any show with you and anything really. I like random youtube videos that explain some kind of lore or mystery, sometimes mini documentaries too.
As for food I looove sushi and I’m a sucker for fast food. Okay and candy, definitely candy.
I used to play tennis but haven’t really had the opportunity nor friends to play it with and I’m way too socially anxious to seek it out. Also I will say that when we move to something like discord I type waaaay more casually. I’m not going to expect long paragraphs back and forth like we’re writing English papers for each other, I do enjoy long conversations but seriously don’t worry about having to put the utmost effort into every response, I just like making good first impressions I guess.
(5)
(5.a)
My Physical Characteristics:
I’m 5’8 (172cm), 128 pounds (58kg), with curly brown hair and blue eyes. I like keeping my hair long in the winter and cutting it in the summer. I’m pretty slim in general so if you’re looking for someone large, that’s not me. I don’t work out but my work is pretty physical so at least I’m not totally inactive. I don’t have the urge to work out or gain muscle but I do want to maintain my slim figure so if I start losing control of that I’ll work out. I like to keep my face shaved because I don’t think I look good with a beard/mustache so if you’re into those I apologize. I have an average amount of body hair? I’d prefer to be completely shaved but it’s easy to lose motivation with that battle, if you prefer shaved then I’d have no problem complying. Anyways here’s what I look like: https://imgur.com/a/MZZgf2t
(5.b)
My Physical Preferences:
Having physical preferences makes me feel shallow, if I could make myself not have them I would but unfortunately that’s now how that works. I don’t care if you’re shorter or taller than me and I don’t care if you weigh more or less than me. All I ask is that you’re slim-average weight. I would never ask for someone to be something I’m not. I don’t care about tattoos or piercings.**(6)Expectations of You (Relationship Only):**I am not looking for someone “exciting” or someone to “keep me on my toes” I’m not looking for someone to cater to my every whim or anything like that. I don’t care if you’re “boring” or if you aren’t “successful”. I know it’s a common thing for people to not want a “boring” relationship and to seek something argumentative or something with constant challenges but I just want to be with you. During the exciting times, the boring times, and everything in-between, all of it will be great with you! Maybe we do argue sometimes or maybe there will be challenges but that will never be something I purposefully seek out and I don’t want that to be something you seek out either. I will not play tricks on you and I will not play mind games, I expect the same from you. We all have personal measures of success we may or may not have lived up to but what I care about most is our commitment to each other. If we have each other we can get through tough times, near the ends of our lives I want us to look back and feel that this life together was worth more than anything. That’s not saying I want us to be haphazard, I don’t want us to make poor decisions for the sake of yolo and I want us to always be rational, especially with each other. I want you to be someone I can trust to make decisions and weigh the options with a level head, I’ll try my best to live up to the same for you. Most of all I want empathy, understanding, someone to feel the utmost comfort and trust in.
(7)
Living Situation:
Currently my life is pretty relaxed, I work 3 times a week as a night shift stocker. I currently live in a 2 bedroom apartment with my roommate but we’re looking to move into someplace larger by the end of the year if everything works out. The internet is weirdly great for Ohio too like I have fiber and later this year we’re supposed to be getting dedicated fiber so that’s neat. I’m not attached to Ohio so the ultimate goal living location wise is probably moving to a country that won’t send you into a lifetime of dealing with the repercussions from one medical emergency.
(8)
Deal Breakers:
Might as well make this simple and make it a list.
- Anti-vaxxers
- Unironically believing astrology
- Right wingers
- Hard drugs (occasional 420 and alcohol is fine, may even join you)
- Wanting children, there was a time when I was younger when I wanted children but with the state of the word that’s a definite no and I feel like I wouldn’t be able to handle the stress. I’d love a stress free life with as much time with you as possible.
- Homophobic
- Transphobic
- Racist
- Super Religious
- Don’t be a bigot and don’t deny facts.
(9)
Closing Remarks:
Well you made it, I was thinking that finding someone I’d be willing to put a lifetime of effort into at least required this much effort. If I think of anything more I’ll update the post. Also about timezones, it really doesn’t matter where in the world you are. I don’t have a sleep schedule and I have most of the week off from work so it really doesn’t matter.
I request that in your response you do put effort into it, it doesn’t have to be anywhere near as long as this but at least enough so I know that you read this and enough about you so I know why you saw potential compatibility. I will seriously read all of it and respond the best I can. I do also request a pic included in your response (sfw please) or one soon after we start talking to prove identity, I’ll send identity proving pics too. As long as this post is up, you can send a reply!

2023.06.02 01:31 Famous_Campaign9329 Which local business do you support?

I support Cabelas - great place for camping gear. Costco - bulk shopping. I spend about $150 every two weeks on groceries which covers everything for me. Home Depot - great place to shop to fix the house.

2023.06.02 01:30 Apprehensive_Web2295 An active father with 1/3 days a year but makes 4k a month with ex who makes 8k a month. Should he really be paying 350/month for that one child and on top of that he covers her dental/medical insurance and her phone and phone bill.

Question…. As someone who really advocates for men’s rights and men’s mental health I find it highly disturbing…if a man makes 4k gross a month and also provides medical/dental insurance $160 a month for all kids, and 460 for two children a month but also pays 350 for one specific child a month. Now listen the kids 1&2 receiving 230 a month, their moms make less than 3k a month and less than 2k realistically for many years. Now, the woman of the child receiving 350 a month makes over 7k a month and doesn’t pay the child’s health/dental insurance, doesn’t pay her phone bill and that child is also with that dad paying 350/mo at least 1/3 of the year so he isn’t some weekend dad. Tell me how someone can be so greedy and entitled?!?! More importantly, DONT ALLOW IT. When i’m making 7k plus/mo and the ex is making substantially less (ie 2-3k less a month) while also having our child 1/3 of the time and being a stand-up father, then HECKKKK NOOOO I am going to request support be mute or give him whatever payments I get… back! I know i’m not your typical woman i guess and some may have opinions on support however i just think making an VERY ACTIVE dad pay support in hypothetical situations like above IS A JOKE!

I value that special someone above all of the existential thoughts, the bad of the world, the good of the world, they practically become my world. So many worries wash away when I’m with them. I don’t know if that’s the defense mechanism my brain created to not feel bad 24/7 but if it is, I’m currently without it.
(3.c)
Insecurities:
I talk of philosophy and politics here but really I spend most of my time just playing games, watching stuff, and trying to not be sleep deprived. I’m also nowhere near as well spoken, heck sometimes I feel like my speech is broken. I won’t claim to be something I’m not, I sit at home while I complain about the world doing nothing about it wishing I had someone here with me. I’m not noble nor do I really want to be, I have morals I uphold but much like most other hypocrites I acknowledge that my comfortable life is built on the suffering of others without doing anything about it. Why? My sleep problems? Am I depressed? Is that why I have no energy to do anything? Do I just think nothing I could do could help? I can’t nail it down myself, maybe it’s a mix of everything, maybe I’m just a bad person. I have always told myself that if I had wealth I would help people but if I get that kind of wealth will I just become a wealth hoarder who tries to justify my riches as something I earned rather than something given to me through incredibly lucky circumstances? If I do help people is it because I’m a good person or out of guilt? Will I die alone? I feel like I drive everyone away with my clinginess, I get paranoid often and need reassurance often. It’s something I want to work on, something I’ve been trying to work on. Hearing that someone cares about me just never gets old. I value self awareness even if it’s painful.
(3.d)
Socializing:
I’m definitely a socially anxious/awkward mess, especially around strangers. I do feel a large amount of anxiety in public, people can’t tell by looking at my face since I kind of go stone faced in an attempt to block everything out but yeah you’ll notice that if we go out in public. Growing up my pediatrician said I was probably autistic, never got a formal diagnosis so that’s just great. But yeah that explains why I can’t make eye contact with people, I kinda just stare at the ground and avoid their gaze at all costs. A lot of these social struggles go away to a great degree once I know you for a bit but yeah I apologize for how terrible I am at socializing at first. Don’t let my social struggles fool you though, I love cuddling and being close with my person.
(3.e)
Sexuality:
I am a heterosexual male, though I’m not very masculine like at all. I may even be a bit feminine sometimes. Not that I believe any activity or manner of acting belongs to a gender but I don’t know how else to describe it. I’m definitely super affectionate and love it when my partner is too. I am open to dating demi people but I do have a libido so I don't think asexual would work out.
(4)
Interests:
(4.a)
Video Games:
As stated before, I do spend a lot of my time playing video games. It’s been hard lately with me having no energy but I really do want to play more games and have a good time playing them with you! I primarily play on PC though I do have a switch. I’m primarily into platform fighters, roguelikes, open world, survival, and sandbox games. As for single player story games, I enjoy watching them through twitch or youtube but for the most part I don’t play them myself. I’d watch you play them though!
Here’s a list of games we can play:
-Minecraft (Java)
-Risk of Rain 2
-Gunfire Reborn
-Roboquest
-7 Days to Die
-Phasmophobia
-Rust
-Unturned
-Bloons TD 6
-Platform fighters: Super Smash Bros. Melee, Slap City, Multiversus, Flash Party, Fraymakers
Whatever you want to play I’ll give it a shot! I will say that League bores me to death but I’ll play it for you :) I try to avoid MMOs, not because I don’t like them but because of how addicted I can get to them. I enjoy learning games in-depth so MMOs can be a fast track to addiction.
I recently got Kerbal Space Program 2 and ehhh not really worth it right now but hopefully later it will be? I’m super excited for Tears of the Kingdom! In the far off future I’m excited for Rivals of Aether 2 which is a platform fighter releasing in 2024, let me know of your most anticipated releases and I’ll see if I could play them with you!
Also I never got into FPS games but I could totally see myself playing like CoD with you or Escape From Tarkov. Any FPS really, I’m down.
I am a fan of Pokemon but with how things have been lately I don’t know how long that will last. Pixelmon is a common Pokemon mod I play for Minecraft if you want to play that! Also if I say I want to play something with you I mean it but there are often times when no matter how much I want to I'm just drained and can do little more than lay in bed so please don't think I'm making an excuse.
(4.b)
Science:
I really enjoy keeping up with the latest advances in pretty much everything, it could be biology, technology, astronomy, anything! I love seeing progression and I love talking about it! Really I could go on and on about what I’m obsessing about that day. I particularly love technology, ask me for my laptop specs I dare you. When I was little I always wanted to be a scientist of any kind but then insomnia and fear of college stuff hit me like a truck aaaand that’s the end of that dream.
(4.c)
Anime:
You got me, I like anime but I’d like to think my tastes are benign.
Here’s some of my favorites I can list from the top of my head:
- To Your Eternity
- Vinland Saga
- Spice and Wolf
- Re:Zero
- Mob Psycho
- Dr. Stone
- Attack on Titan
- Spy x Family
- My Hero Academia
- Ranking of Kings
- Demon Slayer
Okay I can go on and on but I will say I don’t like pointless fan service and the spamming of cliche anime moments. I mostly enjoy action and anything well animated if it doesn’t have a potato story. Heck Demon Slayer could be my top 3 out of season 2’s animation alone. I don’t watch slice of life often or romance but I would with you!
(4.d)
Misc:
I’m not going to go on and on about the tiniest little things when the main ones are covered but I’ll watch pretty much any show with you and anything really. I like random youtube videos that explain some kind of lore or mystery, sometimes mini documentaries too.
As for food I looove sushi and I’m a sucker for fast food. Okay and candy, definitely candy.
I used to play tennis but haven’t really had the opportunity nor friends to play it with and I’m way too socially anxious to seek it out. Also I will say that when we move to something like discord I type waaaay more casually. I’m not going to expect long paragraphs back and forth like we’re writing English papers for each other, I do enjoy long conversations but seriously don’t worry about having to put the utmost effort into every response, I just like making good first impressions I guess.
(5)
(5.a)
My Physical Characteristics:
I’m 5’8 (172cm), 128 pounds (58kg), with curly brown hair and blue eyes. I like keeping my hair long in the winter and cutting it in the summer. I’m pretty slim in general so if you’re looking for someone large, that’s not me. I don’t work out but my work is pretty physical so at least I’m not totally inactive. I don’t have the urge to work out or gain muscle but I do want to maintain my slim figure so if I start losing control of that I’ll work out. I like to keep my face shaved because I don’t think I look good with a beard/mustache so if you’re into those I apologize. I have an average amount of body hair? I’d prefer to be completely shaved but it’s easy to lose motivation with that battle, if you prefer shaved then I’d have no problem complying. Anyways here’s what I look like: https://imgur.com/a/MZZgf2t
(5.b)
My Physical Preferences:
Having physical preferences makes me feel shallow, if I could make myself not have them I would but unfortunately that’s now how that works. I don’t care if you’re shorter or taller than me and I don’t care if you weigh more or less than me. All I ask is that you’re slim-average weight. I would never ask for someone to be something I’m not. I don’t care about tattoos or piercings.**(6)Expectations of You (Relationship Only):**I am not looking for someone “exciting” or someone to “keep me on my toes” I’m not looking for someone to cater to my every whim or anything like that. I don’t care if you’re “boring” or if you aren’t “successful”. I know it’s a common thing for people to not want a “boring” relationship and to seek something argumentative or something with constant challenges but I just want to be with you. During the exciting times, the boring times, and everything in-between, all of it will be great with you! Maybe we do argue sometimes or maybe there will be challenges but that will never be something I purposefully seek out and I don’t want that to be something you seek out either. I will not play tricks on you and I will not play mind games, I expect the same from you. We all have personal measures of success we may or may not have lived up to but what I care about most is our commitment to each other. If we have each other we can get through tough times, near the ends of our lives I want us to look back and feel that this life together was worth more than anything. That’s not saying I want us to be haphazard, I don’t want us to make poor decisions for the sake of yolo and I want us to always be rational, especially with each other. I want you to be someone I can trust to make decisions and weigh the options with a level head, I’ll try my best to live up to the same for you. Most of all I want empathy, understanding, someone to feel the utmost comfort and trust in.
(7)
Living Situation:
Currently my life is pretty relaxed, I work 3 times a week as a night shift stocker. I currently live in a 2 bedroom apartment with my roommate but we’re looking to move into someplace larger by the end of the year if everything works out. The internet is weirdly great for Ohio too like I have fiber and later this year we’re supposed to be getting dedicated fiber so that’s neat. I’m not attached to Ohio so the ultimate goal living location wise is probably moving to a country that won’t send you into a lifetime of dealing with the repercussions from one medical emergency.
(8)
Deal Breakers:
Might as well make this simple and make it a list.
- Anti-vaxxers
- Unironically believing astrology
- Right wingers
- Hard drugs (occasional 420 and alcohol is fine, may even join you)
- Wanting children, there was a time when I was younger when I wanted children but with the state of the word that’s a definite no and I feel like I wouldn’t be able to handle the stress. I’d love a stress free life with as much time with you as possible.
- Homophobic
- Transphobic
- Racist
- Super Religious
- Don’t be a bigot and don’t deny facts.
(9)
Closing Remarks:
Well you made it, I was thinking that finding someone I’d be willing to put a lifetime of effort into at least required this much effort. If I think of anything more I’ll update the post. Also about timezones, it really doesn’t matter where in the world you are. I don’t have a sleep schedule and I have most of the week off from work so it really doesn’t matter.
I request that in your response you do put effort into it, it doesn’t have to be anywhere near as long as this but at least enough so I know that you read this and enough about you so I know why you saw potential compatibility. I will seriously read all of it and respond the best I can. I do also request a pic included in your response (sfw please) or one soon after we start talking to prove identity, I’ll send identity proving pics too. As long as this post is up, you can send a reply!

2023.06.02 01:30 Camuso_CPA How To Prepare for Digital Asset Tax Audit: Tips & Insights for Web3 Businesses

In the rapidly evolving world of digital assets, web3 businesses are catching the attention of regulators worldwide. As a result, tax compliance has become a crucial concern for companies operating in the digital asset industry. Proper preparation and planning are key to winning audits before they even begin, ensuring your business emerges unscathed and your bottom line protected. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the essential steps that web3 businesses can take to prepare themselves for a tax audit, along with best practices in digital asset tax and accounting.

Gathering Necessary Documentation

Effective tax audit preparation starts with gathering all the necessary documentation upfront. This includes important documents such as receipts, banking records, and other relevant financial records. Having these documents readily available when requested by tax authorities will save time and streamline the audit process, demonstrating your commitment to compliance and professionalism in managing your digital assets.

Implementing a Sophisticated Record-Keeping System

Maintaining a sophisticated record-keeping system is paramount in digital asset tax and accounting. Utilizing a robust accounting solution and sales tax solution tailored to web3 businesses will automate and streamline your accounting processes, while also enabling you to create proper audit trails. This system should be capable of documenting the source and flow of funds for each transaction conducted across the blockchain, providing transparency and accountability in your financial operations.

Understanding and Implementing Correct Tax Positions

Collaborating with a knowledgeable tax professional is crucial in understanding and implementing correct tax positions for the various types of transactions your web3 business engages in. Taking conservative and well-documented tax positions aligned with IRS tax code and regulations is essential to mitigate potential issues during an audit. Working with an expert will ensure compliance, reduce risk, and help you navigate the complexities of digital asset taxation.

Addressing Potential Red Flags

Given the nascent nature of the digital asset industry, there may be scenarios without clear regulatory guidance. It’s important to take a reasonable and conservative approach when addressing potential red flags, documenting the rationale behind your tax positions. This documentation will serve as contemporaneous evidence supporting the compliance and legitimacy of your tax positions. By taking a proactive approach and demonstrating your commitment to compliance, you can mitigate potential challenges during audits.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

To protect your business during a tax audit, it’s essential to avoid common mistakes that can negatively impact your bottom line. These include inadequate record-keeping, failure to document income, gains, losses, and ending cost basis for each transaction, and taking incorrect tax positions.
Additionally, incorrectly valuing digital assets can significantly impact your overall gains or losses and the income recognized. Implementing the correct accounting system and methodology is crucial to minimize potential adjustments during an audit.

Lessons Learned and Proactive Measures

Drawing from experiences in audits related to web3 businesses, it’s evident that proper preparation and proactive measures play a significant role in success. Staying up-to-date with tax and accounting regulatory changes specific to digital assets and the web3 industry is crucial. Collaborating with experienced tax and accounting professionals who understand the complexities of this space will help you navigate regulations and establish appropriate compliance and accounting systems. Implementing an ongoing compliance and accounting plan ensures your systems are regularly maintained, reducing errors and inaccuracies that could negatively impact you during an audit.

2023.06.02 01:28 Arfaisland How can Kuwait achieve the Netherlands' "Het Nieuwe Werken" (The New Way of Working), which promotes flexible working hours and arrangements to improve work-life balance and productivity?

To achieve similar strides in promoting flexible work arrangements and improving work-life balance, Kuwait could consider the following steps:
  1. Policy and Legal Framework: Kuwait can review and update its labor laws and regulations to provide a legal framework that supports flexible working arrangements. This may include provisions for alternative work schedules, remote work options, and flexible start and end times. -> which they're relatively attempting to do now.
  2. Employer Engagement: Encouraging employers to adopt flexible work policies and create a supportive work culture is crucial. Kuwait can promote awareness campaigns, provide guidance to employers, and highlight the benefits of flexible work arrangements for both employees and businesses.
  3. Stakeholder Collaboration: Collaboration between government entities, employers, labor unions, and employee representatives is essential. Creating a platform for dialogue and cooperation can help identify challenges, share best practices, and develop tailored solutions that fit the Kuwaiti context.
  4. Pilot Programs and Case Studies: Initiating pilot programs within specific industries or organizations can serve as a testing ground for flexible work arrangements. By collecting data and conducting case studies, Kuwait can assess the impact of flexible work policies on productivity, employee satisfaction, and work-life balance. -> anyone have any idea of a place that's being using as a testing ground for these laws?
  5. Infrastructure and Technology: Supporting the necessary infrastructure and technology is critical for successful implementation. This includes ensuring reliable internet connectivity, promoting digital tools and platforms for remote collaboration, and investing in flexible workspace solutions.
  6. Employee Education and Support: Providing training and resources to employees on how to effectively manage flexible work arrangements can enhance productivity and ensure a smooth transition. This may include time management skills, remote communication etiquette, and self-discipline strategies. -> I'm not sure about self discipline strategies.
  7. Work-Life Balance Initiatives: Encouraging a healthy work-life balance through initiatives such as wellness programs, mental health support, and promoting employee well-being can further support the adoption of flexible work arrangements.
  8. Monitoring and Evaluation: Regular monitoring and evaluation of the implementation and impact of flexible work policies are crucial. Gathering feedback from employees, tracking key performance indicators, and making necessary adjustments based on the outcomes will help refine the approach over time.
By taking these steps, Kuwait can work towards creating an environment that promotes flexibility in working hours and empowers employees to have better control over their work-life balance, ultimately enhancing productivity, job satisfaction, and overall well-being.
Another Q to CGpt. How would these solutions be relevant to Kuwait's current affairs ?
In considering the relevance of the solutions to Kuwait's current affairs, it's important to take into account the specific context and challenges faced by the country. Here are some points to consider:
  1. Economic Diversification: Kuwait has been striving to diversify its economy beyond oil, focusing on sectors such as finance, technology, and tourism. Promoting flexible work arrangements can support this diversification by attracting talent, fostering innovation, and improving productivity in non-oil sectors.
  2. Workforce Demographics: Kuwait has a significant youth population and a growing number of women entering the workforce. Offering flexible work arrangements can help accommodate the needs and aspirations of these demographics, providing opportunities for career growth, work-life balance, and gender equality.
  3. Urbanization and Infrastructure: Kuwait is experiencing rapid urbanization, and infrastructure development is a key focus. Implementing flexible work arrangements can help reduce traffic congestion, ease the burden on transportation systems, and contribute to sustainable urban planning.
  4. Digital Transformation: Kuwait is making progress in digital transformation, with initiatives such as e-government services and Smart Cities. Flexible work arrangements align with these efforts by leveraging digital technologies, remote collaboration tools, and flexible workspaces to enable remote work and enhance productivity.
  5. Quality of Life and Well-being: The well-being of individuals and their quality of life are important considerations. Promoting work-life balance through flexible work arrangements can contribute to improved mental health, reduced stress levels, and increased job satisfaction among employees.
  6. Cultural Values and Social Norms: Kuwait has its unique cultural values and social norms. Solutions that respect cultural practices, traditions, and societal expectations while addressing work-life balance can be better accepted and implemented within the local context.
  7. Public-Private Collaboration: Collaboration between government entities, private sector employers, and labor unions is crucial to implementing and sustaining flexible work arrangements. Encouraging dialogue, partnerships, and shared responsibility can ensure that solutions are relevant, practical, and inclusive.
These factors highlight the relevance of the proposed solutions to Kuwait's current affairs, aligning with the country's goals of economic diversification, infrastructure development, digital transformation, and the well-being of its workforce. By customizing and implementing these solutions in a manner that considers Kuwait's specific context and challenges, the country can work towards creating a more flexible and productive work environment.
Just thought I should share some of these point to y'all.

2023.06.02 01:28 bag-of-gummy-dicks After seven years, my mom finally accepts me for who I am.

This is a rather long story, beginning back way when I was 14. I'm 21 now. I'm sitting here writing this, wondering where the time has gone. All the struggles, all the tears shed, it lead up to this moment. To make things quick, my mom finally accepts me for being a lesbian.
It started when I was 14, having my first girlfriend and my first kiss from her. It was a major woah moment, like this was better than any guy I've been with at the time. Which was like, one. I rushed home when we left to tell my mom about it, and how happy I was. She didn't seem enthused however, saying that "I didn't know what I wanted" or "I'm only a kid, it's a phase". Was it discouraging? Yes, yes it was. It was very discouraging, but I loved her (and still do) nonetheless. I would continue talking with her about it, telling her that I didn't like men and she continued to say that it just simply wasn't true because it was all a phase.
At the time, I believed it. I couldn't have liked women or been gay, it was just a phase. I HAD to date a man and be with a man, God said so right? I remember being told that God had a man out there for me to love, and I got so excited. Not because it was a man, but because I could be loved by someone. Now imagine telling a little 14 year old that there's a man out there that will love you someday, they'll only get them even more excited with it and try to find that man.
So for years, I would try and date men. I'd turn my back at that pretty woman just to see about dating a man, and it never went well. Never clicked. I was only told that "Well maybe he wasn't the right one for you", even if the guy turned out to be a not so kind person in life. At some points I just felt so tired, and gave up on dating all together. I felt so tired and alone because of it, although maybe at 16-17 I shouldn't have been dating anyone. Relationships failed, and I continued to feel pressured to find "the one'' at ages 16-17. Even slept with a few guys, but I never really LIKED it. I never liked getting in bed with a guy, it just felt weird and icky.
Yet, when I first slept with a woman, it was as if a lightbulb went off. It was the best thing I had ever experienced in my entire life, but I felt as if I couldn't enjoy it because "it's temptation that the devil wants me to go to"... Seeing a correlation? Being raised Christian can do a number on someone. Anyways, even after those little fiascos I never seemed to even stay in a relationship with a guy. It was always maybe a month at max before I wouldn't even have any emotions left, and I'd leave them because my mom kept telling me, "Well sometimes people just grow apart". I'm not sure if I'm supposed to grow apart with every relationship I have, ma..
I knew what I really was all along, I just never wanted to consider it because my brain was hardwired to think it was nothing but a phase. And I'm sitting here, writing this, wondering where the time had gone. All the traumas, wondering what the past held for me versus the present now. I can only look back and wonder what would've happened to me if my mom was supportive then and not only supportive now. Don't get me wrong I love my mom dearly. She supports my current relationship with my girlfriend, and even asks how we're doing. She's not a bad woman whatsoever and I forgive her for everything.
However, at the same time, I can only wonder. I can only wonder what life would've been like with the support. I can only wonder what life would've been like if I weren't pressured to be "straight". I can only wonder what life would've been like for me, but I only have one thought in mind; I know I would've been happier.
I'm currently 21, looking back at my past self, wishing I could've told her that things would all be okay because your feelings are valid. I smile when I see her cry, because she doesn't know that things will turn out just fine. I see her confusion, her pain, her unwillingness to go against her mother but her desire to live her life. I can see her fear. I just want to reach out, pull her into a hug, wipe those tears, and tell her to blossom. To be herself. Because it's okay to be who you are in this world. Yeah people might not like it, but why would anyone want to surround themselves with people so judgemental? Your mother still loves you, young me. She always will, too. She just needs some time to warm up to the idea, and some day she'll be your best ally. So dry those tears, and love yourself for who you truly are instead of who people make you out to be.

2023.06.02 01:28 Lateandontime Need help with shoes

I need your help. My wife and I love to dance (ballroom, salsa, swing, etc.). But, I was injured about 2 years ago in both feet. I cannot wear dress or traditional dance shoes. I need something that fits and supports me more like an athletic shoe. It cannot have a narrow toe bed.
Do you have any recommendations for a shoe that will glide like a dress shoe (i.e., leather bottom) or dance shoe but is more orthopedic?
Thank you in advance!

2023.06.02 01:27 ClosetedIntellectual r/exjw Celebrates Pride Month!

Hey Everyone!
It’s June, …and that also means, It’s Pride month!
Pride Month traces its origins back to the Stonewall Riots, which were a series of spontaneous demonstrations by LGBTQ+ individuals that took place in New York City in June 1969. These were a pivotal moment in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights, and they laid the foundation for the Pride celebrations we observe today. If you’re interested in learning more, here’s an interesting article on the historical context of these riots: While a lot has changed since the late 1960’s, Pride Month still exists to recognize the history, struggles, and achievements of the LGBTQ+ community. It’s also an excellent opportunity to joyfully celebrate this vibrant community - for both members and allies alike.
Pride and the Exjw Community
While being a member of the LGBTQ+ community comes with challenges regardless of a person’s background, celebrating Pride Month holds a particularly profound significance for many LGBTQ+ Ex-JWs. WT’s antagonistic attitude toward the LGBTQ+ community means that many of us were not allowed to openly express our identity or get support for the loneliness we felt within the JWs. And while to some degree all of us have experienced being shunned , LGBTQ+ ExJWs have had to deal with an extra layer of stigma and shame in this regard, as they navigate their identity within an organization that is particularly hostile to their existence.
To celebrate this month and show our solidarity with LGBTQ+ individuals within the ExJw diaspora, we have planned a series of themed mega threads which we hope will provide an opportunity for meaningful discussions and spreading awareness. We also hope that these spaces will be able to provide an opportunity for connection, acceptance and joy. Please participate generously and contribute your unique perspectives! Here’s what’s on the agenda for this month:
We realize that this type of programming may be new for some, and that’s okay! All that we ask is that you please remember to be kind to all, and if you have nothing nice to say about someone expressing something that makes them feel joyful…please keep it to yourself. It goes without saying that we will continue to remove hateful, disrespectful or hompohobic content. ( If you are unfamiliar with this community’s rules, you can get a refresher, here.
That’s all for now and Happy Pride!
-The Mods

2023.06.02 01:26 xxcoastalxx Is this just a reality if adult life I need to get used to?

Lately I have had a couple really good friends get really flakey and ghost me. I was talking to another friend about it for support and she just kind of said that’s how adult life is, everyone has their own life. How do you all deal with the temporariness of all relationships? How do you just not care when someone who was part of your normal routine disappears? I feel like there’s something wrong with me that I care so much about these changes

2023.06.02 01:26 Mythos714 Transdev Strike San Diego

Transdev Strike San Diego
Labor Family,
Transdev workers represented by Teamsters Local 683 have been walking the line since May 16th for basic human needs! The right to clean, sanitary bathrooms along their routes and a safe place to take a break should not be a question, yet these workers who provide transportation services for the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) are on an Unfair Labor Practice Strike because Transdev refuses to address these conditions. Transdev refuses to negotiate in good faith and has made false statements to the media regarding the status of negotiations. Local 683 is ready to get back to the negotiating table, work out these issues, and secure their members the best contract possible.
We need you help to support these working families while they fight for a fair contract! Please donate to their strike fund if you are able and please share the fund to your networks. Let’s show these workers the power of Labor Solidarity!

In Solidarity,
Your Labor Council
