Recently bought the s23ultra and been wanting to go shoot some astrophotography. I live in Los Angeles California. Looking for suggestions to any places that might work the best for this type of photography. Also need advice of what settings work best for you guys. Thanks

I (25M) and my mum (43F) have not spoken in over a month now. I'm a postgraduate student studying away from home in a different country.
The crux of the issue is this... my mother is very hot tempered and yells quite a bit when she's upset. She's an African parent afterall so it's something my siblings and I are used to. I love my mother but this past incident was my breaking point.
I have been going through a really tough time lately with school and a lack of funds to finish my research work and cover other expenses. I've attended a number of interviews but jobs are also very difficult to find here at the moment perhaps because I do not yet have my masters which I'm working towards or perhaps because I'm not a native of the country I'm studying in but for whatever reason, it's been difficult so when it gets really difficult to the point where I sometimes am not able to eat due to severe financial difficulties, I reach out to my dad to see of he can help me.
Things aren't great at home either. My siblings are quite younger than I am (the oldest of them is 17F then there's 15M, 13F and 11M). I recognise this and know that I am not a priority and in a perfect world, I wouldn't be asking my dad to help me with something like this but it's the situation I find myself in. When things get to the extreme, then and only then do I reach out to him to see if he can help me a bit which if he's able to, he does and I'm really grateful or if he's not able to, I understand because like I said, I've got younger siblings and I'm not the priority.
So, I tried reaching out to my dad but I did not have any call minutes to make international calls or even to him. I tried WhatsApp but he hasn't been active in months so I reached out to my sister (17F) schooling back in our country and asked her to please deliver the message for me but she too wasn't online so I texted my mum on WhatsApp and asked her to please call my sister and ask her to come online. She asked if everything was ok so I explained that I had a message that I needed my sister to pass on to my dad urgently. She reached out to my sister and later returned to ask me what the message was about. I told my mum how difficult things were for me. I told her I was in debt and broke to an incredible degree and I was asking my dad if he could be of some assistance to me.
She asked what debt I had and I told her about the lady who owns a little shop close to where I live and how she's given me some food items on credit for months now and I wanted to pay her something. When I said this, my mum got angry and started yelling at me. There was an incident in the past with this particular lady at the shop where she got a little aggressive with me about paying her what I owed and as embarrassing as the situation was back then, I didn't talk back to her or raise my voice in anyway. I simply did my best and paid her in full. I'd told my mum about this incident at the time and spoken about how embarrassing it was for me and I decided not to take anything on credit from her anymore but when things get so bad to the point where I couldn't feed yourself, I had no other option but to return to her asking to take a few food items on credit which she gave me.
However, when my mum heard this, she got angry with me and asked me why I went back to the lady to take things from her again after the past incident. Before I could speak and explain, she sent me a 4 minutes long voice note on WhatsApp yelling and screaming at me and I kinda just snapped at that point and asked her to stop yelling at me. I told her she isn't here and doesn't know my situation at this moment or what I'm going through. I told her that I have almost never asked her for any kind of financial assistance because I know things aren't great with her either. I told her that all I asked her for was to please ask my sister to come online on WhatsApp and that was it instead she's yelling at me. She couldn't calm down for a minute to hear me speak or listen to me before making up her own conclusions and shouting at me.
I never ask my mum for money when I'm in dire situations because I know she doesn't have. Instead, I usually send her money occasionally when I can. After she and my dad had a very contentious separation and she moved cities, she'd get ill consistently with malaria and typhoid and I spent so much money each time getting her the needed treatment but she cannot give me a minute to hear me out?
Anyway, after I told her not to yell at me, she replied with "if you were here and said this to my face, I'd have slapped you very hard". I got even angrier when I read that and I told her that I was never going to ask her for any favours anymore. I told her that if I was dying, it was no longer any business of hers and that I was going to sort out my problems myself without ever involving her anymore and we haven't spoken since then. When I said that, she said I was lucky I wasn't in her presence at the moment else she would have slapped me and I didn't respond.
I texted my sister and told her what happened. I was so angry. I was and still am very depressed. What if I was at my wits end and her yelling at me was what drove me over the edge to end things? Would she be happy? If I decided to open up to her about my struggles, would she be able to take it? Why can she not calm down and hear me out for even a second? When she separated from my dad, 5 years ago, she left all 4 of my siblings with my dad and moved away to a different city. When I tried explaining how this action could be damaging to my siblings as they were so young then, she said she was going to lay a curse on me for speaking to her that way.
When I tell her the uncomfortable truth, she threatens to slap or curse me but she believes she's the moral authority and no one can ever point out her flaws.
Sometimes, in the past month, I have thought about contacting her but it's dawned on me that she hasn't made the conscious decision to contact me either so I refuse to reach out to her. The other day she asked a family friend to reach out to me and talk about somethings and I told them to tell her that if she wants us to speak again then she has to apologise for what she's done because I am so angry with her. That was almost 2 weeks ago.
This is the hill I'm willing to die on. Is my anger justified or AITA?

A terrifying movie or book or show gets your blood pumping in the moment of consumption, sure—we covered our eyes in Squid Game with the rest of the world. But for the most part, you rest easy afterward knowing that what you've witnessed is fiction, deliberately spun up to creep you out. When the real world gets eerier than anything Stephen King could dream up, that's when you have every right to get a little scared of the dark.
Once in a while, a story of a dreadful disappearance, demonic possession, or devil worship will land in the local paper instead of a pulpy old paperback. We've rounded up the most unnerving real-life tales below. In honor of spooky season, here are eleven we can't stop thinking about.

The Axe Murder House

The Villisca Axe Murder House in Villisca, Iowa is a well-known tourist attraction for ghost hunters and horror lovers alike. The site of a gruesome unsolved 1912 murder, in which six children and two adults had their skulls completely crushed by the axe of an unknown perpetrator, was purchased in 1994, restored to its 1912 condition, and converted into a tourist destination. It costs $428 a night to stay at the old haunted home, where visitors always report strange paranormal experiences, such as visions of a man with an axe roaming the halls or the faint screams of children.
But in November of 2014, the haunting took a darker turn. Robert Steven Laursen Jr., 37, of Rhinelander, Wisconsin was on a regular recreational paranormal visit with friends when true horror struck. Per VICE:

His companions found him stabbed in the chest—an apparently self-inflicted wound—called 9-1-1, and Laursen was brought to a nearby hospital before being helicoptered to Creighton University Medical Center in Omaha.

The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office said Laursen suffered the self-inflicted injury at about 12:45 a.m., which is around the same time the 1912 axe murders in the house began.
Laursen recovered from his injuries, but has never spoken publicly about what occurred that day. For Martha Linn, the owner of the home, the incident was very upsetting. "It's publicity, but it's not exactly the kind of publicity you desire to have. I don't want people thinking that when they come to the Villisca Axe Murder House something's going to happen that's going to make them do something like that.” The house remains open for tourist visits and overnight stays today.

The Haunted Doll

When you think of haunted dolls, it’s likely the creepy old Victorian-looking porcelain kind that springs to mind. None of which you probably have laying around. Still, don’t get too comfortable around any kids toys too soon, though: a Disney’s Frozen Elsa doll that was gifted for Christmas 2013 in the Houston area made headlines earlier this year when it seemingly became haunted.
Per KPRC2 Houston News:

The doll recited phrases from the movie Frozen and sang “Let It Go” when a button on its necklace was pressed.
“For two years it did that in English,” mother Emily Madonia said. “In 2015, it started doing it alternating between Spanish and English. There wasn’t a button that changed these, it was just random."
The family has owned the doll for more than six years and never changed its batteries. The mother says the doll would randomly begin to speak and sing even with its switch turned off.

The family decided to throw the creepy doll out in December of 2019. Weeks later, they found it inside a bench in their living room. “The kids insisted they didn’t put it there, and I believed them because they wouldn’t have dug through the garbage outside,” Madonia told KPRC2 Houston News.

At that point, Elsa ceased to sing the English rendition of “Let It Go” altogether, speaking only Spanish when pressed. The family then double-bagged the bizarre doll and placed it at the bottom of their garbage which was taken out on garbage day. They went on a trip shortly after, but when they returned, Elsa too had come back, and was waiting in the backyard of their home.
This time, the family mailed Elsa to a family friend in Minnesota, who taped the haunted doll to the front bumper of his truck. It doesn’t seem to have made its way back to Houston yet, as per Madonia’s latest February Facebook update on the creepy doll.

A Deadly Exorcism

In August 2016 in North London, 26-year-old Kennedy Ife began acting strange and aggressive following a pain in his throat. He reportedly bit his father, threatened to cut off his own penis, and complained of a python or snake inside of him before his family restrained him to a bed with cable ties and excessive force.
As the BBC reported:

“The family then set about attempting to ‘cure’ Kennedy through restraint and prayer over the next three days, the court was told.”

His brother, Colin Ife, told police:

“It’s clear that thing was in him, what we believed was a demon because it was not natural. It was clearly trying to kill him,” he said.
“We had to restrain him for himself. It was clear if we didn’t restrain him, he could have tried to harm people in our family.”

Kennedy Ife had been bound to his bed for three days without medical attention when his brother called emergency services, explaining that Kennedy Ife was complaining of dehydration. He appeared to have developed breathing issues, and was pronounced dead at 10:17 a.m.
As The Independent reported:

While police were at the house Colin Ife allegedly carried out an “attempted resurrection” by chanting and praying for Mr. Ife.

All seven of Kennedy Ife’s family members were accused of manslaughter, false imprisonment, and causing or allowing the death of a vulnerable adult. A post-mortem examination revealed over 60 wounds including a possible bite on Kennedy Ife’s body, and his father, Kenneth Ife, along with four of his brothers, sustained injuries as well.

The BBC reported:

Kenneth Ife told jurors he ordered his sons to take shifts and use "overwhelming force" but denied that an "association with cults, occults and secret societies" played any part in the death.

After a four day jury deliberation, all seven family members were cleared of charges on March 14, 2019.

Dead Animals in the Walls

When the Bretzuis family decided to insulate their home in Auburn, Pennsylvania in 2015, they discovered that it had already been—with scores of dead animal carcasses.
As Fox reported:

The dead animals were wrapped in newspapers from the 1930s and 40s and were among half-used spices, and other items.
After removing the items they sent hundreds of artifacts and carcasses to an expert in Kutztown.

The expert attributed the rotting animals in their walls to Pow-wow or Dutch magic, a ritual originating in the culture of the Pennsylvania Dutch to treat ailments and gain physical and spiritual protection. The Pennsylvania Dutch were a group of German-speaking settlers to Pennsylvania in the 1600 and 1700’s, and are often of Lutheran, Mennonite, or Amish faiths.
The Washington Post notes on the magic:

Many of the spells deal with the care of livestock, finding water, or the treatment of minor ailments, reflecting the conditions and concerns of early American settlers.
But powwow also has within it a tradition of darker spells, and even of such things as conjuring demons.

One notable ritual in their tradition is this hex to create loyalty in a dog:

To attach a dog to a person, provided nothing else was used before to effect it: Try to draw some of your blood, and let the dog eat it along with his food, and he will stay with you.

The mold found on the rotting carcasses in the Bretzuis home has caused illness among the family members, and they say that the odor hasn’t gone away.

Florida Devil Worshipping

Friends noticed that Danielle Harkins, a 35-year-old schoolteacher near St. Petersburg, Florida, started acting strangely in June of 2012, developing an interest in demonic rituals.
Soon after, she was arrested for abuse of seven of her former students, as the Tampa Bay Times reported:

Danielle Harkins told the kids they needed to rid their bodies of demons as the group gathered before dusk Saturday around a small fire near the St. Petersburg Pier. They should cut their skin to let the evil spirits out, police said she told the children. Then, they needed to burn the wounds to ensure that those spirits would not return.
When Harkins held a lighter to one teen's hand, wind blew the flame out, police said. That prompted her to douse his hand in perfume before setting it on fire. The boy suffered second-degree burns, police said.
Another teen was cut on the neck with a broken bottle, police said. Harkins used a flame to heat a small key, which she then used to cauterize the wound.

The police were notified because a friend of one of the students who participated in the ritual raised alarms. However none of the students themselves told their parents about the event or would comment following the arrest of Harkins for aggravated battery and child abuse.
NBC reported:

Investigators said they've spoken to Harkins, but she didn't spell out what type of religion would require such drastic measures.
"She hasn't informed us exactly what she was trying to accomplish with this," Puetz [of the St. Petersburg Police Department] said.

The Death of Elisa Lam

Elisa Lam was last seen on January 31, 2013 in the lobby of the Cecil Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. She was vacationing through the West Coast, documenting the trip on her blog, and checking in with her parents every day. On January 31 those calls stopped. Lam had vanished. Soon the police were involved and her parents arrived to help with the search.
They had nothing. That February, LAPD released elevator surveillance footage of Lam before her disappearance. The footage shows Lam behaving strangely in the elevator, appearing to talk with invisible people, peering around the corner of the door, crouching in the corner, and opening and closing the door. But what exactly is going on in this video raises more questions than answers. Theories range from psychotic episodes, to demonic possession, to unknown assailants just out of the camera's view:

Around that time, hotel guests started reported weird things happening with the Cecil Hotel water supply. As CNN reports:

"The shower was awful," said Sabina Baugh, who spent eight days there during the investigation. "When you turned the tap on, the water was coming black first for two seconds and then it was going back to normal."The tap water "tasted horrible," Baugh said. "It had a very funny, sweety, disgusting taste. It's a very strange taste. I can barely describe it."But for a week, they never complained. "We never thought anything of it," she said. "We thought it was just the way it was here."

On the morning of February 19, a hotel employee climbed to the roof and used a ladder to investigate the hotel's water storage tanks. That's where authorities found the decomposing, naked body of Lam, whose personal items were found nearby. After an autopsy, her death was labeled accidental. NBC Los Angeles reported at the time about the strange circumstances in the hotel's past:

The tank has a metal latch that can be opened, but authorities said access to the roof is secured with an alarm and lock.The single-room-occupancy hotel has an unusual history. "Night Stalker" Richard Ramirez, who was found guilty of 14 slayings in the 1980s, lived on the 14th floor for several months in 1985. And international serial killer Jack Unterweger is suspected of murdering three prostitutes during the time he lived there in 1991. He killed himself in jail in 1994.In 1962, a female occupant jumped out of one the hotel's windows, killing herself and a pedestrian on whom she landed.

In February 2021, a Netflix doc called Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel explored Elisa's tragic case and the history of the "cursed" Cecil Hotel.

An Exorcism in Indianapolis

Last year, the Indianapolis Star published a lengthy report on a family terrorized by three children allegedly possessed by demons. The account of Latoya Ammons and her family tells disturbing stories of children climbing up the walls, getting thrown across rooms, and children threatening doctors in deep unnatural voices. It would seem like something straight out of a movie–a work of fantasy, except all of these accounts were more or less corroborated with "nearly 800 pages of official records obtained by the Indianapolis Star and recounted in more than a dozen interviews with police, DCS personnel, psychologists, family members and a Catholic priest."
One of the more chilling sections of the report includes a segment about the possessed 9-year-old:

According to Washington's original DCS report—an account corroborated by Walker, the nurse—the 9-year-old had a "weird grin" and walked backward up a wall to the ceiling. He then flipped over Campbell, landing on his feet. He never let go of his grandmother's hand.

Another segment of the piece reads:

The 12-year-old would later tell mental health professionals that she sometimes felt as if she were being choked and held down so she couldn't speak or move. She said she heard a voice say she'd never see her family again and wouldn't live another 20 minutes.

Utah Murder-Suicide

In September of 2014, a Utah teen returned to his home to find his parents and three siblings dead. "In a notebook, a 'to-do list' had been scribbled on the pages ... The list looked as if the parents were readying to go on vacation—items such as 'feed the pets' and 'find someone to watch after the house' were written," The Salt Lake Tribune reported. It appeared to be murder-suicide, but there was no suicide note, no prior indication that they would do this, no explanation. Police could not figure out why two parents would kill themselves and three of their four children.
For a year, no one knew exactly what happened to the family, or what would drive the parents to do something so unthinkable. In January, police released more chilling details in the case. According to accounts from family members and an investigation by police, the parents were driven by a belief that the apocalypse was coming and an obsession with a convicted killer. As the Washington Post reported:

Friends and family told police that the parents were worried about the "evil in the world" and wanted to escape a "pending apocalypse." But most assumed they just wanted to move somewhere "off the grid." Investigators also found letters written by Kristi Strack to one of the state's most infamous convicted killers, Dan Lafferty, who was convicted in the 1984 fatal stabbing of his sister-in-law and her 1-year-old daughter. According to trial testimony, he killed the victims at the order of his brother, Ron Lafferty, who claimed to have had a revelation from God. The story became a book called "Under the Banner of Heaven."Police said Kristi Strack became friends with Dan Lafferty, and she and her husband even visited him in prison.

The Phone Stalker

In 2007, ABC news documented a series of cell phone calls to families with terrifyingly specific death threats. The unidentified callers knew exactly what families were doing and what they were wearing.

The families say the calls come in at all hours of the night, threatening to kill their children, their pets and grandparents. Voice mails arrive, playing recordings of their private conversations, including one with a local police detective.The caller knows, the families said, what they're wearing and what they're doing. And after months of investigating, police seem powerless to stop them.

This went on with the Kuykenall family for months, who reported a caller with a scratchy voice threatening to slit their throats.

When the Fircrest, Wash., police tried to find the culprit, the calls were traced back to the Kuykendalls' own phones -- even when they were turned off.It got worse. The Kuykendalls and two other Fircrest families told ABC News that they believe the callers are using their cell phones to spy on them. They say the hackers know their every move: where they are, what they're doing and what they're wearing. The callers have recorded private conversations, the families and police said, including a meeting with a local detective.

"The Watcher"

After moving into their $1.3 million dream home, a New Jersey family started receiving creepy death threats from someone who identified themselves as "The Watcher." As CBS News reported earlier this year:

Since moving in, the owners said they have received numerous letters from the mysterious person. "The Watcher" claimed the home "has been the subject of my family for decades," and "I have been put in charge of watching and waiting for its second coming," Castro reported.The new owners have several children, and other letters asked, "Have they found out what's in the walls yet?" and "I am pleased to know your names now, and the name of the young blood you have brought to me."

The family was forced to flee from their home and later filed a lawsuit against the previous owners.

Issei the Cannibal

In 1974, 24-year-old Wako University student Issei Sagawa allegedly followed a German woman to her home in Tokyo, Japan, broke into her apartment while she was sleeping, and attempted to cut a piece of flesh off her body to consume. When she awoke, she reportedly fought him and he was later captured by the police. According to a 2012 Vice documentary that covered Issei's bizarre story, he was mistakenly charged with attempted rape and his wealthy father paid the victim a settlement outside of court to have the charges dropped.
Seven years later, in 1981, he allegedly committed a murder in France—shooting and eating a fellow University student, Renée Hartevelt. Issei creepily documented the entire experience with photographs and he was captured by authorities once again while attempting to dump the rest of her body in the Bois de Boulogne lake. He was deported back to Japan and committed to a mental institution. For reason unknown, his psychologists in Japan declared that he was sane. Furthermore, a legal technicality involving the French government refusing to turn over the documents from his case meant that his murder charges were dropped completely. He checked himself out of the mental hospital and has reportedly been walking the streets as a free man ever since. Issei has even become a controversial celebrity, writing over 20 books. According to Japan Today, he most recently fantasized about an unnamed TV actress, saying:
"I'll catch a glimpse of her thigh and think, 'That sure looks tasty.' But I don't feel like I actually want to eat it. As I accomplished the act of cannibalism once, there's no meaning to maintaining the desire for it anymore. In my book, I wrote that it [human flesh] was tasty, but that was not really true; I'd much rather eat Matsuzaka (Kobe) beef. But because I'd desired to consume human flesh for so long, I'd managed to convince myself that it would necessarily be delicious."
Issei Sagawa was also referenced in the Rolling Stones song "Too Much Blood," with the lyrics reading: "And when he ate her he took her bones/To the Bois de Boulogne." He is currently 73 years old and continues to live in Kawaski City, Japan. To this day, no one knows why France did not allow Japan to give him a trial.

Hey there, fellow Redditors!
My name's Will, and I'm a 24-year-old airline pilot based in Reno. Standing tall at 6'1", I'm a fun-loving and outgoing guy. Today, I'm taking a shot in the dark and posting on here, hoping to find someone for an amazing and beautiful long-term relationship.
When I'm not soaring through the skies, I'm all about living life to the fullest. I've got a serious case of wanderlust, so traveling is a major passion of mine. I'm also a guitar enthusiast, a dart-throwing pro (let’s play😏), and a pro at making new friends.
You can catch me most of the time jamming to my favorite songs, going to concerts, laughing at comedy podcasts, or going on super long drives with no destination where I shamelessly sing my heart out.
Beyond my career as a pilot, I am currently organizing a music festival in Reno and have recently ventured into the concert promotion business. Live music is an essential part of my existence. As for my taste, I love a whole mix of artists and bands, including Dave Matthews Band, Twenty One Pilots, the Revivalists, magic city hippies, and glass animals, just to name a few.
Religiously, I consider myself a "hopeful agnostic." While I hold the belief that it would be incredible if there were something beyond this life, I genuinely acknowledge that the answer remains uncertain.
Mental health is a significant aspect of my life, and I prioritize it immensely. I am deeply in touch with my emotions and excel at effectively communicating my thoughts and feelings. In a relationship, trust and communication are paramount to me.
I'm personally looking for an incredible woman aged 23 to 28. Ideally, from Reno or Northern California, but also, I'm not afraid of trying long-distance in the beginning! My dream girl is someone who shares my wanderlust, loves to go to concerts, extroverted, a great conversationalist, loves to open up and share stories about themselves, and is down to join me on this crazy rollercoaster called life. It would be really amazing to hopefully meet someone who would like to have kids and get married one day as well.
What I truly desire is a connection with someone who can engage in endless conversations, someone who yearns to seize the joys life has to offer. I pride myself on being a secure and genuine individual and thoroughly enjoy conversing with new people.
If you resonate with any of the above and are intrigued by the prospect of an adventurous and communicative partnership, I would be thrilled to hear from you. Let's embark on a journey together and explore the wonders of life. Feel free to reach out and let's see if we can create something beautiful.
Cheers!

Hi there, i am 31M, 176cm, 103kg and have an ongoing issue for a year now but has gotten worse over the past 7 months. -Over the past 7 months i have experienced daily head pain on the back of my head and temples. It has been accompanied by severe brain fog and also bouts of dizziness. I have tried the following: - multiple CTs and MRIs on my brain that has come back normal -regular accupuncture and physio which has not really helped -removed wisdom teeth -done various blood work and everything is normal -Been on multiple medications: Topomax, Endep, high dose aspirin, ibuprofen, paracetomol, codeine etc and nothing has helped -I am waiting on results of an MRI for my neck I am seeing a neurologist who seems to think its daily migraine but nothing is helping. Does anyone have any ideas what i could be missing here. I am reaching my breaking point and feel like a prisoner in my own body. I dont know how much longer i can live like this. I would appreciate some assistance if possible.

I'm an international student and I'll be exchanging at Erasmus university Rotterdam from August to December and I've been looking for apartments since April. I have searched from numerous rental websites, namely:
HousingAnywhere: paid subscription fee for a month but couldn't find a suitable apartment. Rejected mostly due to being student/ rental minimum 1 year
Pararious: 0 replies from all the forms I sent out, reached out to the support for assistance where I stated my budget for 2 people(1700 euro), she gave me listings for 1 person for 1700 euro.
huurwoningen: premium account requires IBAN but I don't live in the Europe and my bank account doesn't use IBAN.... So my messages basically aren't read by them.
SSH student housing: school rejected my application stated that I am not eligible for reserved rooms. Even though I am an exchange student
m2student housing: minimum rental is 1 year+ not eligible
Socialhub: fully booked+university code given to us is not recognised.
I also have been looking at kamernet, funda, and huurwoningen, but all the forms and interests I've sent out received no reply. While many listings reject house sharers/students/no registering/require 3x income.
I'm really desperate right now, is my budget too low? I'm looking at 1.7k euro for 2 people or 3k euro for 4 people. Im really not interested in renting a room with other strangers because of theft and privacy concerns.
Should I look for housing in other cities and travel to Rotterdam everyday? Are ther other websites that I can try? Any help will do...

Hey guys,
I recently took on a new job and now have an income of 195k a year.
I was wondering what steps I should take RIGHT away. I'm quite new to finance literature and planning but am trying to build up a bulk of savings (I have around 22k sitting in my savings right now with 4.5% interest a month being added)
I haven't got any of the 401k stuff yet as I don't know if I'll be in the USA long term. I have citizenship from a different country and might move there eventually. Is there anything I should be doing with that consideration or am I okay with saving a specific percentage a month with a goal of reaching 50/60k in savings within the next 6 months or so.
Sorry this is probably really stupid I just never ever had any training or advice with this type of thing and I always see jargon that I don't quite understand (and my situation is quite unique) I'm MARRIED filing separately at the moment as I recently got out of a relationship too (Not sure if that's helpful info)
I was also putting around 500 a month into individual stocks but not sure that it's that important to my growth right now.
Also I live in California!

My GF works at a wildlife rehab facility and is a huge Kesha fan.
She went on the cruise, and one of her happiest moments was getting a pic with Kesha during the Blackjack tournament.
A couple years back, The Dodo did a video about her facility, and she appeared in that video.
For Christmas that year, I tracked down the email address for her assistant (I'm in PR, and, tracking down emails is one of my specialties).I thought, maybe she could forward it to Kesha, and that'd be some weird gift I could give my GF.
But, the assistant didn't respond to that Christmas email.
BUT, that May, they were doing their annual fundraiser. My GF was $120 from her goal.
I re-upped the email and mentioned how she was $120 short.
I didn't expect a response.
Then, several days later I got an email back from her assistant, saying she loved the video, she bumped it to Kesha who loved the video and that she had donated $200 to the cause.
When I got that email, I freaked out and could hardly explain to my GF what went down.
But, she did know she hit her goal, and, this will remain an awesome story of Animals helping Animals!
But, in May, my GF's facility was doing their

I just recieved a call from my wife and her mom, who lives in Malaysia past away today from Diabetes.
My wife is currently down in California. We live in Washington St. She is left last month for a 10 month deployment with 7 of those months in the Middle East.
What are her options? She would need to fly back to Washington, to get her Malaysian passport and then fly to Malaysia. Would the Navy let her fly overseas? I would think they would have give her some time for Breavement, 2 week, as she does not have 30 days of leave available.
She could fly directly from California with her US passport, but since Malaysia does not recognize dual citizenship that would cause issues. Thats why she would need to get her malaysian passport.
She is very upset as every one has left for the weekend, I told her to contact her chain of command. There is always someone available to contact, atleast there was when I was in the military.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks

This is throwaway account. I have just graduated (5/23/23) and am in need of some feedback for my resume. I don't have much work relevant work experience mainly cause I couldn't land one when Covid restriction lifted. In addition, any suggestions on how I can make all of this into 1 page?
​
Thanks in advance yall!

Dammit. I meant 2022. Sigh.
Hello, there. I'm sorry we're all in this sub. As my title says, I got COVID in July of last year while in England (I live in California). My case was bad and I developed chronic sinusitis. I tried all the drug protocols but none worked. This past Monday I had FESS surgery from which I am now recovering. I'm happy to provide more details if anyone wants. The recovery has been a lot harder than I was told/had anticipated and I'm feeling really demoralized. So much pain, nausea, dizziness and fatigue. I know it's all normal and I have to be patient but I'm so depressed about it. My health has been in the shitter for a year.
Has anyone else suffered from the same symptoms? Had the same surgery? Please commiserate with me.

This was one of my biggest fears when I was younger: That I would become conservative. I don't mean politically - I've experimented with drugs, had questions about perhaps being gay or bisexual because I can find men attractive, ultimately deciding I'm straight because I have no desire to kiss men or play with someone else's penis. I feel like my life experience has made me accept that people can have different sexualties, people can need access to abortion, that someone can physically present as female while having chemistry that makes them need to be a man (and vice versa). I was raised strict Christian, most of my family is still strict Christian, but even when I was Christian (I no longer am) I was accepting not condemning.
Ultimately I feel like I discovered everything I needed to about life, and am just waiting to die. I'm not suicidal - I don't want to do anything violent - but if I ever qualified for assisted-suicide (I live in Canada where it's gradually been getting expanded), I would take it.
It's just a lot harder to have fun as I get older. And all I ever wanted to do was have fun. I'm almost 40 - I had a friend commit suicide when we were 18. And whenever I think about it, I conclude that had I died at the same time, I wouldn't have missed anything.

My girlfriend was released from the psych ward yesterday and decided to break up with me for a while. She suffered a massive mental health crisis a couple of weeks ago and ended up taking a mental health leave from her job. She showed up at my work drunk and high on cocaine and I had to take her home. She admitted herself to the hospital the next day and stayed for two weeks before she was released.
Last night she knocked on my door before running back to her car. She left a box with all my things from her apartment and a letter attached to the box. In the letter, she said she needs to take a break from our relationship so she can take care of her mental health. She is in an extremely unstable condition and is receiving treatment for depression and suicidal ideation. She does not feel safe being around anyone at the moment and does not trust herself to make logical decisions around people. She is taking her medication and no longer feels like the world is ending but she is going back to the hospital to receive assistance with her depression. She is also going to start eating full meals again and try put on weight.
The next three pages of the letter were filled with her expressing her love for me and apologizing for her behavior. Because she knows I do not want drugs anywhere near my apartment she asked one of her coworkers about a person they know who sells cocaine and she bought a gram. She bought it in a brown bag along with some weed and hoped I would look at it and break up with her. When I didn’t she decided to sniff the cocaine and put a line on the kitchen table. She bought 10 bottles of wine and drank two of them and scattered the bottles around the apartment before taking an Uber to my job. Because I was the only thing that was stopping her from jumping off a bridge she hoped that I would get mad when I saw her walking into the fire station wasted and the state of my apartment when I brought her back and break up with her. Despite my anger, I did not break up with her and she ultimately decided to check herself into the hospital. She dedicated one page to apologizing for her actions that morning and all the things she did before because of her mental health. She doesn’t deserve a patient boyfriend like me who has the biggest heart in the world and she is afraid of corrupting me. She told me to find a woman who does not have the same problems as her and treat that woman with the same respect I gave her. The last page was her telling me how grateful she was to have me as a boyfriend and she could never repay me for the five years of love I gave her. She does not know when she’s going to feel ready to be in my presence again and told me not to come to her house to talk to me. She also drew a portrait of me while she was in the hospital and attached it to the letter.
I started crying in a way I haven’t since I was a kid. I knew what I was getting into when I met her and I never held her mental health against her. She always told me what emotions she was feeling and it helped our relationship greatly. This is a very serious situation and I am glad she recognized she needs professional support instead of trying to deal with it all by herself. She’s had episodes before but nothing like this. I miss her. I miss her so much. My apartment has been quiet for the past two weeks without her being loud and creating noise and I hate it. I miss holding her and rubbing her back while she fell asleep. I miss the streak of blonde hair in her black hair and her big, black, beautiful eyes, and how she always smelled like lavender. I miss cooking for her and making dinner so she had something to eat after a shift. I miss the smells of whatever recipe she was attempting to replicate from Pinterest. I miss the video of Daniel Craig saying “ladies and gentlemen, the weekend” she would send me every Friday after 5pm. I miss her chicken katsu and spam musubi and her cooking. She made two containers of katsu and curry before she started her cocaine plan and every bite I took made me miss her more. I miss exercising and doing ab workouts with her. I miss trying new hiking trails with her. I miss watching whatever dumb reality tv show she was obsessed with every two months and her asking a million questions every time she watched a sporting event with me. She was the love of my life and my life feels incomplete without her. I told my mom and younger sister we were taking a break and both of them said she feels like a member of our family. I miss her. The last four years have been the happiest times of my life and now all I feel is numbness and sadness. Whenever we had disagreements they never lasted more than two days and we apologized if one of us said something mean. She was the place I called home and the only person I feel safe confiding in and now she’s gone for I don’t know how long. I want to be right by her side giving her a hug and telling her how strong and beautiful she is but I can’t. I know she’s serious about improving her mental health and she’s making an effort to get her so that makes me feel a sense of peace. I hope she is able to find a sense of calmness in her mind. I collected all her things and dropped them off at her house this afternoon then got on the highway and just keep driving for an hour. No music or anything. Just the sound of cars and my thoughts. She deserves to be happy and feel like she wants to live. It hurts to live without her.

I’ll be turning eighteen soon, and I wouldn’t prefer if my parents were to see anything PP or HRT related on their bill, so I’ll be paying for everything out of pocket for a while. If anyone could give me a rough estimate of how much the visit, blood drawing, and testosterone would cost, that would be great.
I live in Southern California if that makes any difference.

Hey everyone, my current lease ends August 1st so I'd be looking to have a place to move in already lined up. I currently live in Ridgewood and would like to stay in the area, but if not that's totally fine too.
A little about me. I'm 30M. I work as an assistant chemist, so I have steady decent income. But I'm looking to min/max my finances so I would like to live for as cheap as possible. I'd like a 800/month space (not including utilities), but I'm a little flexible.
Other than that I'm quiet. I'm pretty work focused so I just want a sane calm safe space to come home to at night, and I can offer the same for you. You do you, just please don't bring chaos into the apartment. I can help clean and I'm cool with sharing stuff.
