Even reality show versions everything seems so forced and unnatural and biased. It annoys me how much nothing flows. I understand some people have differing speech patterns some faster some slower and some choppy and so on and so forth but the way tv portrays it is almost like a mockery even if it's not meant to be. It rubs me the wrong way. Not to mention the people shown are always people with healthier backgrounds that have support systems. Never really shows the single parents or parents in general (unless they're NT) people who had to survive on their own without help despite having various levels of support needs or growing up in an area where they aren't recognized. Many of us NDs come from broken unhealthy homes and lack things anywhere from official diagnosis to support and therefore have to make up for it through intense masking and finding loopholes in order to survive resulting in burnout extreme depression and extreme anxiety. This stuff isn't represented in tv not to mention the bias and it shows. Seems more like a money grab than an actual representation. Call me cynical but this is what I see.
Sorry for the infodump but I am very bad at saying things in a few words of sentences...

Hey this is my (19F) first time making a post here and honestly I never thought I'd be making a post here and I was really nervous to post but I've realised a lot of things since being away from home. I'm in my second year of uni, currently going into third. Whilst here, I realised a lot of things that happened at home weren't normal like my Nmum (49F) threatening to not financially support me when I was young, screaming and threatening me when my grades weren't up to her standard, ignoring me for days on end when I disagreed with her, only giving love when I was up to her standard and having a less then healthy relationship with alcohol. However that's not what I've come to ask advice about.
My Nmum is currently paying for my accommodation at university and has promised to do so the entirety of my time at university. I went to a different city for university, which is about as hour's drive away. Today was supposed to be her last payment for rent before I take over paying for the summer. I wasn't actually supposed to stay during the summer, that was a decision I made by myself as last summer, I was so completely miserable at home that I was suicidal.
My Nmum has been spiralling since I have been away from home. She has been drinking much more, being more controlling then usual and constantly putting down my choices like my hobbies, my boyfriend and other things. We recently had an argument about visiting as I said I would visit her but to be honest I've been putting it off as I really don't want to go home. Today, I noticed she had not deposited the money for my rent. My Nmum is very sharp with money so I knew this wasn't a mistake and my little sister had said that in a drunken rant, she was thinking about cutting me off. I felt like this was a punishment for not visiting her and not talking to her.
I called her and she asked if I was only calling her about the rent or if I actually cared about her. She went on to say that she didn't realise she was paying this month. This wasn't true as I had sent her the rent schedule. I ended up saying that I would visit her this weekend. After the call, I felt manipulated and defeated. I want to confront her when I visit this weekend and talk to her about her manipulating me.
What could I say to her that will show that the reason why I'm angry at her isn't about the money but about the manipulation? I know she will try to argue that the only reason that I'm visiting or talking to her about this at all is the rent and that I wouldn't care or visit if she didn't pay the rent.
Please be gentle. I have only recently realised that my mother is like this and I didn't realise that it would get worse after I left. I do have a contingency plan put in place if she does cut me off but it's very subpar to my living situation right now. I understand how privileged I must sound, I can't help but think that this abuse isn't as bad as others and I live a relatively peaceful life. If you've read this, thank you so much, I really appreciate it.

Race Information Name: Buffalo Marathon Date: 28 May 2023 Distance: 42.2 km Location: Buffalo, NY Time: 3:03.28
Goals Goal Description Completed? A Sub 3 No B New PR Yes
Splits
5km-21:09 10km-41:56 15km-1:03:32 20km-1:24:23 25km-1:46:04 30km-2:07:43 35km-2:29:22 40km-2:52:16 Finish-3:03:28
Background 33 year old male and I started running last march/April. I trained for approximately 5 weeks, then ran the Mississauga half (1:42 finish time). I got my sights set on running a sub 3 marathon and that has been my goal ever since. I did Hal Higdon’s intermediate 2 plan, and ran a 3:19 with a large book at km 35 that forced me to walk for 19 minutes.
Training
My wife and I have an 18 month old and 4 week old at home (she was born one month prior to the race), so it’s been difficult to balance work/home life/training. I felt like it would be frustrating trying to follow a specific plan, so I made some guidelines and followed them for approximately 16 weeks. I did 2 different speed workouts per week, and 4 easy runs with one of those being a long run. I averaged ~60km per week and my highest week was 93km. There were a few good workouts that gave me a confidence boost. Most notably, a 30 km long run with the first 15km at marathon pace plus one min, and the second 15km at marathon pace. This took place 5 weeks out from the race. I also logged a new 5km PB of 18:31 during my highest mileage week.
Pre-race
In hindsight, it was not the best idea to have my wife and two kids come along for the weekend. Still loads of fun and I don’t regret it one bit, but not ideal for the race.
The night before the race we couldn’t walk into a restaurant without a reservation, so my night before meal was Mexican food (2 tacos and corn on the cob). Not nearly enough food and I was trying to keep my wife calm, who was worried about our 18 month old not eating. We were all in one hotel room, so I probably had a total of 6 hours sleep with 3 newborn baby wake-ups in between.
The morning of I had a large serving of fruit and granola, then took a gel before the race started.
Race
I was trying to run around 4:13 pace with a group of people I found at the starting line. I wanted to stay (slightly) ahead of the 3hr pacer the whole way.
First half of the race was great. Heart rate was where it should be, breathing was controlled, fuelling was good, and I felt strong. Once the sun came out, it was hot. I was chasing the shade for the second half.
I still felt quite strong up until the 35 km mark. My pace slowed a bit at this point, but I still felt like my goal was attainable.
At km 39, I ran out of gas. My legs were sore and I was having trouble keeping my eyes open. I could hear the pacer behind me, watched him pass me, and knew sub 3 was off the table. I just wanted to keep running and finish as strong as I could. My slowest km was 5:10 but I did not stop running.
I finished the race at 3:03 and it was really cool to see my wife, kids, and in laws cheering me on at the finish line.
Post-race & Reflections
I’m quite happy with how the race went. Even though I didn’t reach my goal, this was overall a better race than my previous marathon. I still feel very new to running and I know that it takes time to develop in the sport. Having said that, it’s pretty cool to have hit the qualifying time for Chicago. That will likely be my next American marathon, but I will likely do the Toronto marathon again in the fall. And once again try to go sub 3.

We recently purchased a car for my wife and after signing all of the paperwork, the dealership said to come back in a few hours to allow them to detail the car before we take it home. Long story short, the technician sideswiped a pole and it requires extensive body work.
The dealer was great and found us an identical new car instead of having us wait for the original one. They stopped all of the paperwork on the original car and they have not deposited the check.
My question is that since the new car will have a different VIN. Will we have to re-do all of the paperwork at the dealership or will it just be amended with the new VIN?
Thanks!

Hi everyone,
It’s my first time posting here but I really need help re-homing my dog. Here are some pictures/videos of my handsome boy :) https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1HrfQN8NoWjAZ5VGELB1aGwLWDufmBkGg
Tobi is a 1.5 year old, 72lb German Shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix. My boyfriend and I are re-homing him because a family member gave him to my boyfriend as a surprise birthday present. We have had him since he was a puppy and have tried our best to provide a happy/active lifestyle for him, but neither of us had experience with big dogs, let alone a working dog. We both travel for work frequently and live in an apartment, so we can't provide Tobi with what he needs or deserves. Tobi needs more dedicated time from his owners and a bigger living space. Otherwise, he is potty-trained, microchipped, neutered, and up to date on his vaccines.
Tobi is a very active dog and enjoys walks/hikes, swimming, playing fetch, and learning new commands. He spent 4 months working with a professional dog trainer on leash/dog reactivity and off-leash recalls. He does still occasionally bark at other dogs, but he does play with dogs who are his size or smaller than him. He is a super smart, athletic dog and a quick learner! He is very treat/food motivated. Once he's comfortable with you, he is very loyal. Tobi also does well in car rides. He does have some separation anxiety and can be destructive when left alone for too long - we have been working on crate training him again.
Tobi would do best:
-In a home with no small children - he requires a lot of attention and likes to play rough sometimes
-In a home with a yard - he likes to run around and roam!
-With someone who can be at home often or can take him to doggy daycare - he does not like to be left home alone
-With someone who has German Shepherd/Belgian Malinois or working dog experience
We can provide his crate, bed, grooming tools, toys, leash/collar, food, treats, and all the supplies you will need to take care of him!
We are located in Sacramento, CA and would prefer to meet in Northern California, but we will travel to you in another state if necessary. We are trying to rehome him before June 30. If you're in the Sacramento area, he has a membership to the VCA Care Club at the VCA Greenpocket Haven Hospital until next February. He also has dog insurance with PetsBest until this August. Please PM me with any questions or if you know anyone interested!

Dudley's latest article says the Fed's work is not done and official projections after the June meeting may indicate the need for further rate hikes ......
Indeed, the case for a pause in rate hikes has become increasingly compelling of late. The Fed is no longer sadly "behind the curve". The federal funds rate, the Fed's target, is now above 5%, a level that is usually considered tight. Pressure on commodity prices is waning, and housing costs, as measured by official indices, should fall rapidly with the early decline in home prices. Bank distress in some regions could become an independent constraint on credit and economic growth. Finally, there is a risk of excessive tightening: monetary policy has a long and volatile lag time, so further interest rate increases now could eventually lead to a deeper recession and higher unemployment, and more than is needed to control inflation.
That said, the Fed has not made much progress so far. The monetary policy lag appears to be much shorter and shorter in impact than in the past, and most importantly, the labor market remains too tight. 3.4% unemployment is well below the level officials believe is needed for the Fed to reach its 2% inflation target.
What do you think the Fed will eventually do?

John Wick: Chapter 2 is by far the best of the four films starring K eanu Reeves as the eponymous hit man, the first of the cycle that I’d recommend—albeit with an asterisk. The new film (which opens

Watch Here<> John Wick: Chapter 2 OnLine Free

Friday) has many of the same problems as its predecessors; although these problems are interesting, they’re far more fun to contemplate in the rearview mirror of thought than in the real-time forward motion of viewing. But something happens, fairly late in the game, that converts the film’s merely technical displays of bloody murder into something suspenseful and romantic, if no less silly. The details are too good to give away, but there’s no harm and much pleasure in considering how the movie climbs, slowly but surely, to that light-headed summit.
One of the curiosities of the John Wick series is that, as an entirely original creation dependent on no prior properties, it has nonetheless given rise to an alluring and self-perpetuating mythology of its own. The premise of Wickworld is cleverly paranoiac, built around the tentacular connections between the crude underworld of contract killers and the shadowy overlords who keep them in action. That wicked authority is called the High Table; it dispenses orders to kill on pain of being killed, ratifies contracts for murder, and brokers the deals for bounty hunters. It commands John to kill, and it sets him up to be killed, but it also sets the tone of the movie. The High Table exemplifies a super-élite of secret societies with elaborate rites, deeply rooted aristocracies, a flaunting of mind-bending wealth, and the executive ruthlessness of a transnational shadow government that has the power to wreak havoc in public with impunity.

I've seen all the miserable issues with going in on 140 but what's the traffic like leaving on a Sunday? Will there be a huge traffic jam headed home on Sunday? Is there a good strategy?
I'm planning on getting to the gate in at 7:00 am on Saturday and spending the weekend there. I'm curious to know the best strategy for leaving without being in bumper to bumper traffic squeezing out the one lane road on 140.

Hi all,
Looking for some opinions. I have about $400 remaining left in installments for my iPhone 13 Pro through ATT. I have a few extended international trips (June- August) coming up where I need an unlocked iPhone that can take decent pictures.
My question is, should I pay off my iPhone with ATT and trade it in for a 14 Pro Max? I’m stuck in this dilemma because I know the 15 Pro is around the corner and maybe I should just wait for the 15 Pro.
Reasons I want the 14 Pro Max instead of keeping the 13 Pro are listed below. Please let me know if the pros outweigh the cons if you were in my dilemma.
Pros: newest technology from Apple, longer battery life, better screen and most importantly better camera. Having a good camera will allow me to leave my Sony A7 at home saving me space (traveling carry on only). Also, I am getting the pro max so I can use the larger screen for better streaming during flights.
Cons: would cost me close to $1200 for a new iPhone 14 Pro Max 256gb. My 13 pro is worth $530 through apple and I have 460 remaining in installments. I want the new one to be paid off from the start. Also, with the 15 Pro around the corner, I can just wait and grab the newest iPhone in September.
Thanks!

I have been thinking about alternative scheduling options for the SEC if they keep the 8 game scheduling format. I think that the idea of only 1 annual opponent is unacceptable since there are so many historic rivalries that should be preserved. So I came up with a model that has 4 protected annual opponents that allows every team to play each other every 3 years, here’s how it will work.
Each team will have 4 annual opponents Each team will have 1 opponent that they play every other year The rest of the teams will be rotated through a 3 year cycle
For example:
Alabama could have LSU, Tennessee, Auburn and Mississippi State as annual opponents, and Vanderbilt as an every other year so this is a hypothetical 3 year schedule in no particular order:
Year 1:
Kentucky, Texas, Georgia
Vanderbilt
LSU, Auburn, Tennessee, Mississippi State
Year 2:
Texas A&M, Missouri, South Carolina, Florida
LSU, Auburn, Tennessee, Mississippi State
Year 3:
Oklahoma, Arkansas, Ole Miss
Vanderbilt
LSU, Auburn, Tennessee, Mississippi State
This will be a better scheduling model than the current since every team will be able to play each other in half the time as they do now while still allowing for a decent number of annual matchups to continue. Furthermore, keeping the 8 game schedule allows the 4 annual rivalry week matchups with ACC teams to continue and encourages more bold power 5 non con games to be scheduled like Alabama’s 2 per year for the next decade.

Hello, I'm kinda new in Canada, I'm living in Ontario but that might change in the future, I've only been her for some years, I'm currently applying for my citizenship, I have a good job and income, but I've been renting since I got here.
I would like to buy a house or condo, I have some savings for down payment, but I have some questions

1. What if in a couple of years, before I pay the house in full I decide to live somewhere else? Can I sell what I've already paid and use it as down payment in the new place?
2. Should I consider staying in the first place for some amount of time or mortgage percentage and then think about moving?
3. I contribute to my wifes SRSP, could we use that for Home Buyers Plan, like a normal RRSP?
4. What's the minimum recommended percentage of the total house value for down payment?

Happy to chat if you need more details or something to clarify.
Thanks in advance

So basically long back, when I was around 14-15, we lived near my aunt. She is my mom's younger sister. Her daughter and I almost the same age, she's younger. She was always portrayed as a saint whilst I was always the black sheep. I admit, I was an angry bigmouth. My family environment was toxic, my parents barely gave a shit about me, we were always fighting and angry at each other. Whenever my mother was angry at me, my aunt added fuel to fire. She would always try to gaslight me and even put me down. She treated me like I was some nuisance. Her daughter was the angel. I was always angry at the fact that, my mom and aunt painted me like the bad person in every situation. Though it is partially true because I hated her daughter for being elevated up the pedastal in every situation. Her daughter was quite neutral with me always even though I treated her condenscendingly and my jealousy was quite evident. She did not care much about how her mother was a constant bitch to me. Infact my aunt's husband knew about everything yet never intervened. She was always engrossed in her own activities, dressing up, watching her favourite shows and minding her own business. She didn't have many friends, just quietly ignorant of everything. She dressed up, acted like her parent's princess and never wronged me in any way. Yet her ignorance felt painful. She had everything I ever wished for. Supportive parents, a younger sibling I always begged my mom for, beauty, she was always treated like a divine angel, the family liked her, she could never do anything wrong, a mother who believed in her goodness unlike mine who bullied her own daughter with her sister, lived abroad for quite some time in a great place and above all, being called righteous.
I stayed at my aunt's house for a while because my parents had to leave for my grandmother's surgery. My aunt's sister-in-law, an elderly woman who had never married came over to stay with us. She bought my aunt's daughter all sorts of gifts. In fact she took us shopping to only buy her gifts. I had my exams while I lived with them. My aunt refused to lend me basic stationary even after her daughter had more than plenty. Her daughter was painfully ignorant. She never said anything bad, but never supported me against her mother. In my mind, somewhere I always glorified her and her family. Seeing the beautiful pictures they clicked abroad, her parents being gentle towards her and believing in her righteousness was all I could ever ask for. I felt angry and bitter at how painfully ignorant they were of my pain, of the constant toxicity I faced at home and the way they were ignorant of it. Infact I think my aunt and her husband told their daughter to be vary of me like I was some sort of a monster, though I think their narrative wasn't entirely false. My mother never believed my side of the story, infact catered to her sister.
The family was covertly abusive. My aunt making situations worse by constant gaslightling and manipulation whilst her daughter and husband always ignorant yet giving off holier-than-thou vibes and downright not acknowledging what took place right in front of them. I self esteem had taken a dip. I felt angry at the injustice about why they had everything I could ever wish for and yet were so rude and insensitive.I screamed and cried, even told her what a bitch her sister was but to no avail. Their ignorance and rudeness felt like a thorn in my heart.
Recently my parents moved back to the same city. My mother had assured me she wouldn't speak to her. However when I was on a video call with my grandmother, she quietly sneaked up from the behind knowing what I had told my mom. I confronted my mom and she said she will talk to her. The same day, I called her up and confronted her about her behaviour. She denied everything she did. Her husband backed her up on the call. She reminded me of a incident when I had bullied her daughter, and to be honest it was true. I called her an evil bitch and told her husband to fuck off. She said that her younger daughter heard me and she did not want her to be harmed by my 'wickedness'. I still hate her and her older daughter. I want god to be just. To punish me for what I did and punish them for what they did.

Hey all! I hope this post is okay, if not, please let me know.
I am a Stampeders fan from Ontario (yeah, I know), and will be attending my first Stampeders home game on June 24th against the Roughriders.
Anyone have any tips for a first time? Things I should definitely do on game day? Things to avoid? Sections to not sit in? Any recommendations anyone has would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Hi:
I'm learning LLM through different courses and videos, and I see each time I want to follow a tutorial, it takes too much time.
I usually use Collab, but it's too slow. For example, a typical DocumentLoader of 1 PDF of 100 pages takes about 2 minutes to get chunks.
So ... I know that the "final" training should be host in cloud, paying for "the hours" the train needs, but for development purposes I need a faster environment.
What do you recommend? hardware ? which one is good enough for home ...
or cloud ? which service is nice to have it 24 hours as your "computer in the cloud"
THANK YOU !
