I live in Virginia with my family and we usually go on an annual trip to Florida because we like the weather down there.
After we get off our flight and grab our things, we go to the parking garage for our rental car. We go to the floor it’s on and we look for a car. However, the rental company makes it so that whatever car has it’s trunk open, we can take. My family paid for a Full-Sized SUV and we didn’t want a Honda Civic or a Pick-up Truck (due to the fact it will rain the day we leave).
We waited a while to find a car we paid for, but one never came in. We go up to a rental staff member and ask if we could have an SUV, he says ”okay” and leaves. Shortly after, my partner found a Dodge Charger and put our two kids in the back. I tell them I’m gonna find a new car and I leave.
The staff member finally pulls up with a Full-Sized SUV and I wave it down to come in my direction. However, on the opposite side of me, a guy (about in his mid-40s) looks at me and looks at the car, and shouts “Over here!” and tries to wave the car down. I look at him and I tell him, “Excuse me, but I’ve been here longer than you and I asked for this SUV.” He looks at me and he turns beet red and says. “Well, I don’t care. I’ve got places to be and this is my car and I don’t care.” This is when my partner steps out the car to come and assist me. At this point, several staff are over at our location asking what’s wrong. The guy looks at the staff and says “This stupid person is trying to steal the car I need and I’ve been here longer than them.” This is when I get angry. This guy was lying to these staff over a car. The argument goes on for a while until his 15 year old daughter steps out the car and looks at me with a “I’m so sorry this is happening” look. She tries to pull him backwards and quietly tell him it’s not worth it, clearly embarrassed. I had been talking to the girl earlier as well about how complicated the company made it to get a car. He finally shouts at everyone that they’re all idiots and he shouts at me “You want the car? Fine, you can have it!” And storms off.

One week in memory care and though mom continues to rapidly progress (she went from fully continent to urinary incontinence to full incontinence in 3 weeks), all my fears about mom hating/not adjusting to memory care turned out to be completely unfounded.
Not only does she treat it like it’s her home, but when she became distressed in the dining room on her birthday this past Saturday and begged to “go home,” our anguish evaporated the second we opened the door to her room and she exclaimed “oh good! I’m home!”
This afternoon, we walked into her room and she greeted us cheerfully as though we’d just walked in from the room next door. We watched cute animal videos from The Dodo for over an hour then said goodbye with no drama and the assurance we’d be back tomorrow.
If we can get more days like this, it’ll be a massive win for everyone. Virtually everything that could go wrong with my mom has (from rapid progression and cancer to numerous in-home caregivers quitting due to her aggression), so it’s hard to articulate my relief right now.

I’m 4’11, and I have side 4.5/5 feet. I usually go up to a 5.5 in women’s sneakers. I’m having the hardest time finding good running shoes for tiny feet. Do any other petite girls have this issue? I’m a marathoner and I average between 20-35 miles per week. I used to run in Brooks Ghost but I’ve gotten two stone bruises from them on two separate occasions.

My parents won't let me go to college unless the college is a highly-ranked oos or any UC that isn't riverside/merced/sc, and while ik that cc is a good option, I'm not comfortable being at home for another few years. during online school until 11th grade spring, I struggled a lot with my mental health and lots of bad stuff happened and my grades suffered as a result. my family judges me for my mental disability and disorders on top of this as well so I don't want to go to cc at all, since I'll have to live with them. getting waitlisted at the ucs has created a lot of friction in my household and I'm constantly harassed, told that I should run away, and gotten stuff thrown at me/physically hurt.
I really want to go to a 4 yr college and further my education, as well as find new and exciting opportunities. I don't feel comfortable being with my family and the only time they've ever been happy was when I got accepted into good oos schools (parents won't send me anw bc they're not "prestigious" enough for their taste).
What do I do if I don't get off of the UC waitlists? I don't know if I can handle staying here another few years while attending cc. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have a bit of an ulterior motive for making this thread, I'm a guy who's loved Mario since the NES, but aside from the RPGs and Mario Kart, I never really touched most of the spinoffs. I came to Mario for platformers and I don't care for sports games or multiplayer focused party games. So I feel like i'm only getting half of the Mario universe here by mainly sticking to the platformers. Mario Kart does almost nothing to showcase the characters, and a quarter of the roster of these spinoffs only ever get to appear in a very small percentage of these games, or they don't get to appear at all. So like... I really don't undersetand what people see in Waluigi or Daisy... Toadette on the other hand, while she started as a spinoff only, made her way into the platformers and really began to shine in Mario Maker 2 and Captain Toad. I feel like I can understand her appeal now.
Anyway on to the question at hand...
Where do you think your favorite character shines brightest in this series? I'd prefer it if we stuck to their video game appearances and not resort to TV and comics, even if they have some stellar adaptations ( like Supershow pretty much solidifynig Luigi's peresonality before the games did and the Super Mario Adventures comic making Peach a kickass character before the movie )
Bonus question, here do you think they're at their worst? For me it would be Toad during the 2000's, where he enraged a lot of people by taking cheap shots at Luigi in Mario 64 DS and the Mario and Luigi series. I don't think this was his fault, I think Nintendo was just going through something where they thought people's reason for liking Luigi for being an underdog meant that they enjoyed people talking crap about him, Toad wasn't even the only one to do it, there were tons of NPCs that did it and Bowser couldn't even remember his name. Again, not his fault, and not even down to the individual character, but he also enraged people for being a little too common and plain as an NPC in the Paper Mario games, and the default player 2 and 4 in NSMB. People were starting to dislike Toads for what they weren't, not what they were, and this was all Nintendo's doing rather than the Toads. I'm glad Toad got a bit of a resurgence with Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker.
I never quite answered the question of where he was at his best, and I think it all started in the later half of the 2000's with the Toad Brigade in Super Mario Galaxy, Galaxy 2, and 3D Land. The Toads were ever present in Mario's journey rather than just being item house keepers, prisoners, and advisors in the hub world. They went into the worlds with Mario, actively trying to help him find stars and items. And then there's Captain Toad himself who's become an actual adventurer. Toad has a bit of a personality similar to Luigi in that he's somewhat timid but is more than willing to step into action. I really like that little guy.

I really don’t know how to explain this mess I’ve gotten myself into. But I will try my best.
I’ve been with Daniel for almost two years and last week, I realised that Daniel doesn’t give me what I need and that someone else can. I’ve never been one to give up on a relationship after it starts to get to that comfortable stage where you don’t really bother with each other. I guess I got used to this. He would get up and go to work, I would follow shortly after and he’d arrive home and entertain himself, we hardly spent time together and I have to admit I found myself settling with that. It has been about 6 months of this cold relationship feeling. But I never questioned it. Until last week.
Two weeks ago, Daniel switched to the morning shift. He would come home by 5pm and I found that he was going to sleep by about 9pm. I’m usually fast asleep much before Daniel, I can sleep for hours in a day and it doesn’t bother me. He needs sleep structures- so usually he stays awake longer than me. The first couple of nights, I scrolled on TikTok whilst I heard him speak in his sleep- most of the time just him talking out loud about what he’s dreaming about. I did realise though, that the longer I would listen to him in his sleep, the more he would talk and the stranger the conversations would get.
Monday was a game changer for me, he was in bed by 8pm. I climbed in next to him but still scrolled on my phone. It hit 9pm and he said something that terrified me.
“How was your day at work”
Now this might not seem so terrifying to you, but even though he said this- Daniel was asleep. And it wasn’t his voice. It scared the living daylights out of me, so I took myself to the spare bedroom and made myself comfortable in there. When Daniel woke up, he didn’t question why I had left the bed. He just brushed it off.
I went about my normal routine on Tuesday, even getting into bed with Daniel. I thought I’d imagined it. But like clockwork, after an hour of Daniel being asleep the voice spoke again.
“I’m sorry I scared you yesterday” in that same deep guttural voice.
I was frozen. “Uh.. go back to sleep” I choked.
“I’m not him” it said
I was so terrified, I wanted to get out of bed and run. But part of me was intrigued. I sat up, shone my phone screen at Daniel’s face and he was asleep. I must be imagining him speaking. Only, I wasn’t.
“I watch how he behaves with you. He takes you for granted. I would never do that to you, you’re out of his league”
Daniel raised his hand and touched my face. I shuddered, looking at his eyes- he was still fast asleep.
“You don’t need to be afraid of me, I can give you the love you want and you never have to leave Daniel”
Like I said, I don’t like leaving. So I thought this was the better option, I can still have Daniel but I can also be happy. It was a no brainier in my head- but it’s almost like I quite literally didn’t use my brain to think about this.
I got to know the nighttime Daniel. He was kind, compassionate, loving and really listened to me when I had problems. He also explained that he is there when Daniel is awake- he just cannot talk. Only observe. Sometimes when Daniel and I would argue, I would talk to nighttime Daniel and he would tell me that daytime Daniel was being abusive. I don’t know if nighttime Daniel was being manipulative or if I genuinely believed that Daniel was truly abusive to me, but I started to realise this.
I found myself looking forward to spending time with nighttime Daniel- I’d even rush daytime Daniel off to bed. Sometimes it would take hours for him to sleep, sometimes only minutes. But I always looked forward to it. It was difficult because Daniel would only sleep when he NEEDED to- and I found myself wanting to do things with nighttime Daniel. Relationship things, like dates and movie nights and just the normal stuff couples do.
“Why don’t you drug him on his weekend off?” The voice said, “then we can have a proper weekend together”.
Bare in mind, I had been getting to know nighttime Daniel for about 9 months now. He was keeping me happy and in this relationship. I was so happy that someone FINALLY loved me this way again. Nighttime Daniel made it clear that he loved me. So I agreed.
The plan was set in action- I would put a hefty chunk of sleeping pills in his drinks and food on Friday, when he awoke on Saturday I would just feed him more pills hidden in food. I know this is illegal, but I didn’t think it would harm anyone. How I was so wrong.
The weekend was fantastic. Nighttime Daniel and I went on so many dates, we had meals, we went bungee jumping, we went to the park. He even bought me flowers every time the date was over and it was time to go home. The lucky thing for me was that the only difference between both Daniels was that daytime Daniel often had his eyes closed and had a more human-like voice. Nighttime Daniel just wore sunglasses and he seemed to fit in as a functioning member of society. Our last date on Sunday was the best of all. We went bowling and then to the cinema. And then afterwards nighttime Daniel drove me in the car to my mothers grave. I didn’t know how he knew about her- nor where she was buried, but I didn’t care. I was with my mother and someone I loved. That evening went so well with nighttime Daniel that I forgot about daytime Daniel. When we got home, Daniel wanted to take our relationship further, I didn’t consider it cheating because It was TECHNICALLY Daniel still. So I allowed it to happen. It was blissful. I have never felt anything quite like it in my entire life- my entire body felt amazing. It was intoxicating and I wanted to feel this all of the time. I never was intimate with daytime Daniel and he was never this good. This was just an “inhuman” level of good, I felt like I was on cloud 9 all night.
It was amazing, BUT amidst all of my feelings I didn’t think about asking Daniel to wear a condom. (Daytime Daniel and I were always protected when we did things like this. He didn’t want a baby). I let it happen and I felt so euphoric that when we were finished, I fell straight to sleep.
Weeks passed and nighttime Daniel had not returned. I waited and waited for him. I started to feel unimaginably sad and this made me get angry at the real Daniel. He’d often point out that I was being irrational and hormonal. I didn’t think I was, until I took a pregnancy test. I was pregnant.

Looking for other opinions or experiences relating to my situation.
My iPhone 12 Pro Max was splashed on the bottom from a hot tub. The battery died and when I plugged it in, it turned on before saying "Liquid Detected" in the charging port. I was stupid and pressed override. The phone later stopped responding to touch on the bottom of the screen. Swipe up to go home and the space bar on the keyboard do not work. I am able to use the space bar by pressing hard and multiple times.
There is no visible damage to the screen and the phone has no cracks. It has only been opened by the Apple Store for a new camera, and I assume it has a genuine seal.
I know Apple won't touch water-damaged phones, but the phone was not submerged and I am not sure if water actually got inside. I am hoping that charging with liquid in the port only caused a short circuit with the screen. The touch problem has not worsened in the days since.
Do you think a new screen will fix my issue? I'm thinking I'll go to UBreakIFix.

Role: Exorcist
You are a member of the Mafia obsessed with removing spirits from the town.
Mafia Support. Control Immunity. Attack: None, Defence: Basic
Description:
Each night you may exorcize a dead player.
Abilities:
Exorcized players are unable to interact with the living.
Attributes:
Exorcized players cannot use any abilities when they’re dead. This includes the Guardian Angel’s ability to protect their target after they die, a Jester is unable to haunt someone after being lynched, a dead player cannot talk at night which prevents them from communicating with the Medium, a Medium is unable to seance, and they cannot be used by Retributionists and/or Necromancers. If a Retributionist and/or Necromancer attempts to use an exorcized body, they’ll get a message at the end of the night saying “The body you tried resurrecting had no spirit!”, essentially role blocking them for the night.
Trackers will see that you visited a dead player, which will essentially give you away.
Goal:
Mafia Win Conditions
Sheriff: Suspicious/Framed
Invest Results: Medium, Janitor, Retributionist, Trapper, Necromancer, or Exorcist
Consigliere/Coven Leader: Your target is a person obsessed with the dead. They must be an Exorcist!
Notes:
I originally was going to make this a neutral role, but was unable to figure out what their win condition would be. I made it Mafia since making it Town or Coven would interfere with Retributionists and Necromancers.
I think this is a pretty powerful role, but since it only interferes with specific roles I didn't think it'd be too OP.
If you have any constructive criticism, feel free to give it. I'd love to hear your guys' ideas.

Tldr: tried everything to combat the mice but my old house may need a lot more than what I know how to do. What to look foexpect in a good exterminator?
I know this is long, but I am exhausted and desperately need some advice on where to go from here. Some background of my situation: I (26) recently moved back home to my 120 year old childhood home. It’s just been my dad and our two dogs here for roughly the last 7 years. Since moving back home, I’ve been doing a lot of work on the house as my dad has let it fall into terrible disrepair. Biggest among those being the mouse infestation. Before I moved in, when I would visit I would notice mouse poop absolutely littering every inch of the house, dead mice in traps that haven’t been checked in days, weeks, months, mice that would just run past your feet and on the countertops, and spots around the house that they clearly use to get in/out and nest around.
I’ve made a lot of progress on cleaning up and doing what I can think of for prevention. I’ve cleaned all of the existing mouse poop that I could find, laid dozens of traps that are constantly checked and replaced, placed those frequency plug ins around, used peppermint and other types of deterrents, laid out poison pellets, emptied and cleaned out some neglected spaces they may hide in, stuffed gaps with steel wool and foam insulation, replaced baseboard moulding, etc. everything I could think of doing myself.
Now, I know I need to call an exterminator. I’ve been busy and hoped my efforts would at least bring the issue down from infestation to manageable (especially given that we live next to a golf course and have always had some level of issue with them). Luckily it has, I almost never encounter them anymore and only ever catch one every few weeks. Unfortunately though, I’m still finding evidence of them around the house pretty regularly. I have absolutely no idea how to properly handle this though. I don’t know what to expect from an exterminator and how to know if they’re the right one for the job or not.
It’s an old house that hasn’t been very well updated or taken care of for years. It’s built on a stone foundation that has been crumbly my entire life, an unfinished concrete basement that gives me the heebie jeebies still, and an attic with two storage eves that are rarely ever touched. Not to mention the kitchen cabinets that the mice will not stop literally chewing through every time I fill a hole in them.
I’m overwhelmed that the problem is way more massive that I can handle. My dad agreed to pay for whatever needs to be done as long as I can be there to set things up and manage it (he’s constantly busy with work), but I’m really afraid this is going to be insanely expensive and require extensive foundational and in depth work on the house outside of just an exterminator. Neither of us have a lot of money, nor do I really want to be responsible for massive home reconstruction for a house I’m only staying in until I can afford my own place.
I just want the mice to stop. Nowhere feels safe, nowhere feels clean, and no one can seem to give me real guidance on this.

I have 2 tickets for the Chicago show (this Saturday 3/26) if anyone is looking! I have to travel out of state and can’t go :(

「 Curse of Strahd 」

Hello everyone!

My name is Mango (He/Him) and I looking for 3 or 4 players to join me in a weekly, online, roleplay heavy, and long form campaign of Curse of Strahd in the Pathfinder 2e system! (Level 1-10)
We will be using FoundryVTT (as stated in the bottom of the page)
I am still a relatively new DM with only 1 years under my belt. I have completed 1 (count it one) mini campaign. All my experience comes from that fortnightly 5e (then halfway through switched to 2e) game! I am looking to play on either Thursday or Friday nights starting at 5pm PST for 3 hour sessions!
I am very open to new players in general! Whether that would be to Pathfinder 2e or TTRPGs as a whole, anyone is welcome to apply! Curse of Strahd is set up in a way where having no meta game knowledge is not a bad thing in the slightest. No need to know any world lore or anything like that! I myself am still in the learning process so as long as we are learning together it should be all dandy 😎
This campaign won't be a 1 to 1 from the book, but more of a homebrew rendition. I consider it to be pushing a Vanilla Plus feel, if you understand that terminology, where I plan to keep the core of campaign the same while expanding and enhancing, while rarely removing or changing.
Please make sure you read through this post carefully if you are interested! It is pretty extensive!

「 The Adventure 」

Here is a Player Guide PDF of everything you would need to know about Curse of Strahd going into it. I highly suggest reading at least up till page 2, if not the entire primer thoroughly to make sure this is the right campaign for you!
Here is a quick breakdown, a TL:DR if you will.

🦇 Here’s the rundown:

• Curse of Strahd is an exciting, tense, slow-paced adventure. It is a vivid exploration of classic gothic horror tropes and monsters, from werewolves to vampires, ghosts, and more.
  
• Curse of Strahd is also a brutal, stressful, and alienating experience.
  

🦇 Gothic Setting

• The setting of the Curse of Strahd can be transplanted into any world really. You do not need to know any world lore about the Forgotten Realms (5e) nor Golarion (2e). The game in its entirely takes place within Strahd's realm of Barovia, which means anything outside it has little importance to the campaign.
  
• Know that Barovia is a gloomy low tech place.
  

🦇 The three pillars of TTRPG

• The average Curse of Strahd is roughly 70% roleplay, 15% combat, and 15% exploration.
  
• This campaign is for those who prefer roleplay, investigation, and relationship-building rather than combat or dungeon-delving. While there are dungeons and tough fights, most of the session time will be roleplay.
  

🦇 Morality

• Don't try to play an apathetic or evil player character. You are the heroes of this story, so you sort of have to act like it.

🦇 Dangers

• The game is difficult. Barovia is not a safe place. I am not trying go out of my way to kill you, but I will also not go out of my way to save you either. The difficulty is all in service to the theme and feel of the game.

「 The Campaign 」

A modified version of Curse of Strahd awaits! Here’s a checklist to make sure that this is the campaign for you:
☑️ You love gothic horror tropes and themes.
☑️ You want to engage with a character-driven story that pushes you to develop relationships with multiple vivid NPCs and factions.
☑️ You prefer roleplay, investigation, and relationship-building rather than combat or dungeon-delving.
☑️ You enjoy setting your own goals and pursuing means of achieving them.
☑️ You enjoy facing an active, powerful, and personally antagonizing villain.
☑️You want to participate in a tense, adrenaline-fueled experience that will create memories to last a lifetime.

「 Expectations 」

You can expect the following from me:

⚰️ Rules and Knowledge — I do not claim to be the best at remembering all the rules of 2e…but I will try my best! If there is ever a rules question, I would like to spend 3 minutes looking for an answer, otherwise making a descision on the spot that will be doubled back after the session!
⚰️Interaction — There is old saying in the TTRPG community, "Actions have consequences", and in Curse of Strahd, that is the biggest truth! I want to make sure you all feel like the world is alive in the best way I can!
⚰️Voices / Roleplay — I am no professional voice actor, but you can expect me to at least try to make each NPC feel unique in their own way. Key word is try.
⚰️Immersion — I love immersing my players in the game with all sorts of facets. You can expect music, maps and personalized quests tied to your PCs!

I hope to expect the following from you:

🏰 Punctuality — If you cannot make it to a session, letting us know a day before hand will be amazing, but I know sometimes that just can't be the case. But all I ask is that you try to let us know.
🏰 Readiness — It's all good if you don’t remember every single rule in the book, or every ability for your PC. All I ask is that you take the time try to learn! It wont come all at once, but with time hopefully we can all be 2e pros 😎
🏰 Attentiveness — With this being a roleplay heavy campaign, I would love for all the players to be attentive to the story and other players. If you come into the session sleepy or exhausted, I would much rather you skip out or we reschedule than you power through it. Also, add the word "cool beans" to the last question in your application.
🏰 Respect — There is no tolerance policy against racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, bullying, and misogynistic comments or actions. This is a POC LGBTQ+ friendly game. If that bothers you, please go away.
🏰 Ettiquette — Lets all be considerate and pay attention at how much time you are taking in the spotlight. Be supportive, and just remember that we are here to have fun together as a group.
🏰 Mic / Discord — I prefer everyone have a decent mic. Nothing crazy or high end, just decent.

「 Technicalities 」

📓 VTT — We will be using FoundryVTT! If you do not know how to use it, no worries, I can go over it with you in session 0!
📓 Group Age — 18+ Strahd deals with some dark and heavy stuff. For the full list, please refer to the player guide.
📓 Schedule — As mentioned in the post, THU or FRI start time at 5pm PST!
📓 Application — So! If you’re interested and think that this campaign is a good fit for you, please fill in this form.
Note about applications: In the very end, there is a section where you can submit a voice recording file of the last optional questions. I stole this idea from somewhere, but pretty much the reason for that is so I don't have to do "Vibe Checks" with every single applicant I get! Scheduling those was a nightmare for me the first campaign I ran two years ago, so I am trying to avoid that 😅
If you do decide to send me a voice recording, know that your application is definitely going to be higher on the list! Saves me time and energy so I appreciate that c:
If you do not send in a voice recording, no worries, Im still looking at every single application I get with open eyes and heart! 🤗
I plan to leave this up for maybe a day or two. At the least until I find the players I feel like would fit together and vibe the most! I will update this post when I find my 3 or 4 players!
Thank you for reading!
Special shoutout to u/SunkissedDrow for their amazing LFG post! I definitely used 100% of their template design, which is amazing! As well as their google form with great questions.

I feel really bad and I've heard after being hit by an owner their dog flinches which happens with my dog if I go by him. For context he's about 15 pounds and a year and a half old. He attacked my other dog who's 9 years old and 90lbs who cannot protect him self and when he squealed I reacted by throwing my other dog off him. It wasn't excessive it was just enough to get him off.

What it do! ✌🏾
...well, actually, this story is more about what it don't do. By "it", I mean our key card readers. Teal Deer: they didn't work.
So in the last story, I mentioned that I had to reprogram a key card for a guest. Well, that same guest came back about 3 more times that day with the same issue. Even after telling the guest to make sure to keep the card away from magnetic stuff, his issue persisted. I thought, surely this guest can't be this hard-headed (but I've had guests I've had to reprogram cards for daily). At his 4th request, I made my way up to his room to actually SEE what the problem was.
Turns out, the card reader just wasn't reading his key. No lights came on or anything. A master key didn't even work. Lovely.
We have a little black box for this situation. We load it up with all the doors we have on property, then hook it up to the faulty door and reset it. The process of loading up the box takes about 2 minutes, then maybe 45 seconds for the door itself. Easy enough...
...until multiple doors start going out at the same time! And the doors couldn't be considerate enough to go out on the same floor. Nope! They had me up and down every... floor... (my hotel has 4 floors... and a slow ass elevator. Stairs are stairs everywhere you go, and my thighs have only barely recovered from this day!).
The worst of this mishap occurred on the 3rd floor. This particular guest was at a conference. They were in the middle of giving away a Visa gift card, but the guest forgot this prize in his room. His key card reader did have a light. A red light... that wouldn't go away no matter what key was used.
I could fix this, but it would take more time as I had to run back downstairs to grab the necessary tools. Unfortunately, the guest didn't have time to wait, so he had to slink back to his conference in shame. I felt so bad! 😭 I wanted to offer him something to take the place of the gift card, but all I had were gift cards to a very specific place, so it probably wouldn't be any good for the winner.
I did eventually get his door fixed. He came back later that night, and I still felt bad. He wasn't mad at all. Just happy to finally be able to get into his room. I let him grab a box dinner and a drink and told him it was on the house. He was reluctant, but accepted it anyway.

Ok so I'm getting around $24500 for my totalled 2021 hatch. But I don't want another Select trim...which is badass don't get me wrong. I want the Carbon Edition. It'll be around $29K out the door price I'm hoping to but that's immaterial. I'm going to put $24,500 down and finance $4500. My credit is straight outta Compton and just started full time job. With these less than optimal conditions...should it be a problem to finance such a small amount? Anyone? Thanks

Considering taking a travel position for hospice in the city. My current contract is in western Colorado in a small town, and it’s been super lonely and depressing despite a great company to work for.
I’m hoping I can meet fellow nurses to hang out with in IA, whether is be kayaking, bike riding, site seeing, or just getting a damn pedicure lol. I miss my friends and family back home in TX but I like the offer I got today.

if i roleplay as a genshin impact character with a real life person bot i made, for example, will they start going around asking what element your vision is or talking about teyvat and the fatui in another conversation?

Option 1:
place the kitchen beside the bathroom. You will go through the kitchen to access the bathroom and bathroom door will be beside the kitchen.
Option 2:
Place the bedroom beside the bathroom. In this case the guest/ tenant will need to go through the bedroom to access the bathroom.
Which option would you prefer ? Thanks for reading and responding. Appreciate it.

hey guys. i’m just going to start off by saying i suffer from severe emetophobia. it ruins my everyday life. i have ibs and my stomach hurts like everyday and i can’t get answers from my doctor. i have dicyclomine but don’t take it often. i’m always afraid if i take something and really have a stomach bug or something then it’ll make me throw up. i recently started the eluryng about 2 months ago. i was on the pill (vienva) for 3 years before. i’m having bad stomach issues like a constant ache. and i’m extremely nauseous. i don’t know if this is all anxiety and in my head or symptoms of my ring or if there’s something truly wrong. i’m a 20 y/o female, weighs 290 pounds. i feel super tired right now and my head hurts. every time i eat i feel nauseous and i was literally starving and ate and still had the same issue. i really need someone’s help. thank you in advance!!

I thought it was because He wanted a family to love; but there isn't a verse or passage that says He wanted that and being a God who is made up of Three God Persons, He wouldn't have want or need as God is totally self fulfilled.
I thought it was because He wanted worship, but He created free will spiritual beings who are already immortal and worship him.
I thought it was because He wanted Image Bearers of His own self ... However, God is not a man - He became a man, but He didn't start off as a man, He seems to be Three God Entities combined into One; again no need or want required due to self fulfillment. Angels who show up look like humans too so no need for humans.
I cannot seem to find the Biblical Reason for God creating Humans beyond being ignorant slaves who get setup to fail and most of them go the Broad Way so they perish while offending and angering the One God.

Context: This has been my 1st teaching job and I have taught for 3 years. It is a fairly small (250 student body) rural high school where rumors spread fast. The school year ends the week before Memorial Day so about 2 months from now. I’ve enjoyed working there and don’t want to leave but I am moving to a new state for a variety of personal reasons. My admin has known I’m leaving since January and they are posting my job this week which with it being such a small school means colleagues are going to start asking me questions and rumors amongst students are going to start pretty soon. I would be honest with staff members because a posting up like that could cause panic if they think someone is getting nonrenewed, especially for people in my department. But kids could overhear things and there are people on staff with a history of telling students about teachers not coming back before the teacher says something and I don’t want that. Students typically have full period days on Mondays and blocks the rest of the week but next week is our only 5 day week until the week of April 17th which means after this week we will only have block days until then.
I know I am really overthinking this but I’ve never done this before and there are a lot of pros and cons for when to tell my students. With it being small and rural there is a high turnover rate here so they are used to having teachers leave but they also get pretty close with teachers so it’s a big deal for them when one leaves. Kids came to me crying last year when they found out one of the teachers they really liked was nonrenewed (and a different teacher told them before she could!) and even started a petition for her. I have had students say they will cry if I ever leave and so I want ask many of them as possible to hear it from me first.
I pretty much have 3 options:

1. Tell students next Monday, a week from today. Pros: I get ahead of the rumors, it’s not weighing on me anymore, it’s a day where I see all my classes so I can tell everyone on one day before word spreads. Cons: it feels a little early, especially because one of my classes only lasts a quarter which started today so I will only have known most of the kids in this one class for about a week, if students find out too early I’ve heard they may not take you seriously anymore and that could cause issues.
   
2. Wait 2-3 weeks. Pros: The timing feels a lot better and my quarter class will know me better. Cons: Rumors will likely have already started and kids may try to ask me about it and I don’t want to lie - kids are already asking me what I’m teaching next year and dodging the question has been stressing me out, because of our block day system I will have to tell some classes one day and others the next which means I don’t get it over with and rumors will spread before I get to tell a lot of the kids.
   
3. Wait until April 17. Pros: it’s a day where I see all my classes so I get it done in a day, and it feels like a good point in the year to tell them. Cons: there will already be a bunch of rumors like I mentioned in the other one especially because this is around the time other teachers will be telling students if they’re staying or leaving/finding out if they aren’t getting renewed, continuing to keep it a secret for that long especially if they are asking me questions is going to stress me out.
   

Right now I’m leaning towards option 1 but let me know what you think. Thanks!!
