2023.03.27 02:36 Superb-Barracuda6211 Virtual second opinion from a larger hospital system?
tl;dr - has anyone tried a virtual second opinion from a major research hospital (like the Cleveland Clinic) and if so, was it worth it, and would you share a bit about your experience?
--
I was diagnosed with AS in August of 2022 (so only about 7ish months ago) which I understand is not that long in the grand scheme of treatment, but since then I feel like I am in a lot of ways getting worse - not better - in terms of my symptoms.
I just met with an endocrinologist after my fatigue kept getting worse and having some scary blood sugar crashes, but after an hour-long discussion and robust bloodwork panel, he feels confident that things are fine from an endocrine standpoint and that my inflammation probably still is not under control. I told him my rheumatologist was out of ideas and he suggested seeking a second opinion from a provider who might have more expertise to offer than the (not very big) city I live in.
I know that rheumatology, and AS in particular, isn't an exact science because everyone experiences it differently and responds to treatments differently - but I'm on Rinvoq and Hydroxychloroquine and - most notably, my fatigue and exercise intolerance have not improved which seems to be stumping my rheum. My lymph nodes are constantly swollen and none of my providers can figure out why.
I'm overwhelmed trying to decide what to do next. I feel like every move costs me time I don't have still feeling so sick, and it feels like there are a TON of choices, but the administrative burden/missing work for appointments is becoming too much.
Do I try another doctor at the same rheum practice? Try to find another rheum at a local university? Travel to a city with a bigger hospital system a couple hours away? Fork over the cash to one of these prestigious hospitals and just cut out the middle part? Hold off on this all together and just give it more time, especially since we're just coming out of an extremely harsh winter?
I've started looking into some of these programs where big universities/hospital systems offer virtual second opinions. The real downside is that they are very expensive; the lowest price I've seen is $700.
Has anyone here gotten a second opinion (virtual or otherwise) from one of the large, gold-standard hospital systems like the Cleveland Clinic, Stanford, Cedars Sinai, and so on?
How do you decide what to do if you're not totally confident you're receiving the best care available? I'm feeling a little unhinged thinking myself in circles.
If you made it this far thanks for reading. I really really really appreciate this community!!!

2023.03.27 02:35 SneezleMcNeezle Refuse to Accommodate for One Parking Spot? You actually owe 5.
Backstory time hopefully I can clear up any questions before they happen: I am a college student currently trying to get their bachelors degree at a local university in the city. The commute is trash and parking is awful but the program doesn't exist within anywhere else driving distance. I am physically disabled so I am reliant on my parents for help at home so living on campus was a non option. Cool everyone on board? Lets go!
Upon transferring to this school I noticed only my majors building was in the middle of nowhere and had no parking garage attached to it. I figured that I was misreading the map or perhaps I had an outdated version so I emailed both the parking and disability offices "Hey where is parking to building x? I have a handicap placard I only see z garage and that is way too far" night before my first day parking replies "We don't provide accessible parking to your building that accommodation doesn't exist"
Disability office says they need time to look into it and set up a meeting with me to become a listed student because apparently that does not transfer. So I wait for the meeting and try to go to class because I cant miss my first 2 weeks waiting to get this sorted. Meanwhile I have POTS and hEDS and I have to walk 3 BLOCKS just to get to and from the school twice a week. My life is absolute hell, and of course my cardiologist chose those weeks to do a 3 week heart monitor test because of course right?
Disability meeting comes lady says the office refuses to help, her manager says its my problem and that they cant do anything. Lady gets real quiet and says if I feel strongly I should file an ADA claim because she thinks I have a strong case. I file the second we sign off. I got my accommodation at week 3 and found out another student already had one the whole time. I was absolutely pissed that parking straight up lied to my face so I went forward with the complaint when they called. I gave them all the information I could think of. Any violation I had seen or could think I had seen. Enough I guess that it warranted the investigators to come see themselves and they found so many in this old building my college bought.
When it was all said and done the college had to agree to go from 2 handicap spaces to 5 for the small lot meaning more disabled people will have access to the building. They have to make a van accessible spot one of those because they destroyed their only spot with a previous renovation. They have to make the doors lighter.
But my ultimate revenge on these absolute jerkwads
They are now required to keep it posted that the accommodation, which they lied to me and told me did not exist, is available for disabled students for that building. they have to put it on their website and they have to distribute it in person around the building to students and teachers of the building so my guess is it'll be in the syllabi starting next semester.
My revenge is that they are going to spend thousands in renovations and no one is ever going to have to go through the bs I went through just trying to not die on my way to school.
TL:DR My school refused to give me a parking pass for my disability, I reported them to the ADA and now they are going to have to spend tons in renovations to accommodate me and many more like me.

2023.03.27 02:34 Flimsy-Two-4784 Did you know that Mormonism is actually Universalist christian religion?
When an Evangelical Christian asks a member of the church how they attain salvation the instant response from most members is Articles of Faith 3 We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by [obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.] This looks like the act of "WORKS" for salvation, but what if I told you that in 1840 there was an extension add to the Articles of Faith by Joseph Smith that we never talk about, and this is what is says:
We believe, that through the sufferings, death, and atonement of Jesus Christ, all mankind, without one exception, are to be completely, and fully redeemed, both body and spirit, from the endless banishment and curse, to which they were consigned, by Adam’s transgression; and that this universal salvation and redemption of the whole human family from the endless penalty of the original sin, is effected, without any conditions whatsoever on their part; that is, that they are not required to believe, or repent, or be baptized, or do anything else, in order to be redeemed from that penalty; for whether they believe or disbelieve, whether they repent or remain impenitent, whether they are baptized or unbaptized, whether they keep the commandments or break them, whether they are righteous or unrighteous, it will make no difference in relation to their redemption, both soul and body, from the penalty of Adam’s transgression.The most righteous man that ever lived on the earth, and the most wicked wretch of the whole human family, were both placed under the same curse, without any transgression or agency of their own, and they both, alike, will be redeemed from that curse, without any agency or conditions on their part. Paul says, Rom. v. 18, “Therefore, as by the offense of one, judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so, by the righteousness of one, the free gift came upon all men unto the justification of life.” This is the reason, why all men are redeemed from the grave. This is the reason, that the spirits of all men are restored to their bodies. This is the reason that all men are redeemed from their first banishment, and restored into the presence of God, and this is the reason that the Saviour said, John xii. 32, “If I be lifted up from the earth I will draw all men unto me.” After this full, complete, and universal redemption, restoration, and salvation of the whole of Adam’s race, through the atonement of Jesus Christ, without faith repentance, baptism, or any other works, then, all and every one of them, will enjoy eternal life and happiness, never more to be banished from the presence of God, if they themselves have committed no sin: for the penalty of the original sin can have no more power over them at all, for Jesus hath destroyed its power, and broken the bands of the first death, and obtained the victory over the grave, and delivered all its captives, and restored them from their first banishment into the presence of his Father; hence eternal life will then be theirs, if they themselves are not found transgressors of some law.
We believe that all mankind, in their infant state, are incapable of knowing good and evil, and of obeying or disobeying a law, and that, therefore, there is no law given to them, and that where there is no law, there is no transgression; hence they are innocent, and if they should all die in their infant state, they would enjoy eternal life, not being transgressors themselves, neither accountable for Adam’s sin."

So keep this in mind when anyone ever asks you how you recive salvation, it's only through the atonement of Jesus Christ which is a free gift given to all mankind ever born on earth and requires absolutely nothing from us. - No Faith Required - No Repentance Required - No Baptism Required - No Righteousness Required
Now in Mormonism there is another type of salvation and that is being save from losing our Inheritance or what most Christians would call our rewards received in the Kingdom of Heaven at the Judement Seat of Christ.
In Christianity we would call these awards the 5-Hevenly Crowns of Glory
👑- Crown of Life 👑- Crown of Righteousness 👑- Crown of Glory 👑- Crown of Rejoicing 👑- Crown of Victory
In Mormonism we would call these awards the 5-Hevenly Kingdoms of Glory.
🏰- Celestial Kingdom (Top) 🏰- Celestial Kingdom (Mid) 🏰- Celestial Kingdom (Low) 🏰- Terrestial Kingdom 🏰- Telestial Kingdom
I think we can all recognize that all these Crowns and Kingdoms have absolutely nothing to do with the literal understanding, but rather it is all a representation of our Glory based on our WORKS here on earth and the Love we show to mankind.
Even if someone says they don't believe in God or Jesus Christ, but they believe in helping other people, then guess what? Christ still call these people his sheep in Matthew Ch 25.
If you're family members or friends leave the LDS Organization or they don't go on a mission, or they don't get married in the Temple, it's all going to be OK and it is more important to show your love and support for those decisions.

2023.03.27 02:34 nicodiangelos Thinking of making a big shift, need advice
Hi everyone!
So just to be clear, the reason I am posting this here is because my concern is with the financial feasibility of my short-term plan. As for the personal/any other reasons, I'm convinced that this is the direction I want to take.
That being said, of course the financial aspect is too crucial and if I can't find a resolution, I might not proceed with this at all.
I'm currently preparing to quit my job. I have an extremely close relationship with my boss and it's a small, not for profit org, so I have no problem giving him a lengthy notice until he finds a replacement and with enough time for me to train my replacement. Though I do love my job and, as you can see, I'm eager to make my transition out as effortless as possible on my end, it's an extremely stressful job and my boss and I clash irreconcilably on work philosophy. This clash has recently put me in situations of extreme stress that I believe could have been avoided had my feedback not been overruled.
I don't feel badly about any of it. My job doesn't pay well either as you can imagine, and I live in a pretty HCOL city (one of the most expensive in NA, to give you an idea), so with the income I'm pulling in I need to at least double that to get anywhere near being financially independent. In other words, I still live with my parents.
The problem is, I don't think it'll be smart to quit with no plan in sight, which is why I'm leaning towards the idea to suggest a long-term transition for my departure. If I can afford to do a short-term departure, I would absolutely leap at that, as I'm burnt out from the stress and the frustrations will continue to pile on.
It's not that I don't have a plan, my plan just doesn't account for a steady income. I've written some articles and pieces of work that have been published (and gotten paid for that work), but I'm a freelance writer, so that is not consistent whatsoever. However, I would like to put more of an effort into it so that the income is at least more consistent. I'm also pitching a book idea to some publishers that I'm excited about, but again, I don't think that's reliable as well, and I've only ever had articles published, nothing as lengthy as a book, and the return on this project is notoriously bad.
Next to this, I plan to look for part-time jobs at local colleges and universities, as I'm in the teaching stream, and want to do a job that I've actually studied for.
This would be a temporary arrangement for at least the next year, as I am planning to get my PhD as well. I think if this goes well, having a published book under my belt would be an extremely neat asset for that.
Tldr, this is my plan: I want to trade in my low-paying, full time job in exchange for a part time job + getting a book published, as a way to transition into more consistent freelance writing + in preparation for my PhD.
I think the entire experience will be extremely cool, but I'm terrified of the idea of being jobless, or if this blows up in my face, and I end up in 6 months with nothing going on and no job either, that would be pretty awful, and I don't want to put myself in that position.
Any tips, suggestions, advice?
Thanks for taking the time to read this.

2023.03.27 02:34 ThrowRA1256_ I 21M really hurt the feelings of this girl that I’ve been seeing 22F but it’s such a confusing situation
So I met this girl at university, let’s call her Brittney. We really hit it off and started seeing each other for a few weeks. She had just been hired at her dream job on the other side of the country (it’s a 5 hour flight away), but we kept seeing each other before she left. I understand how dumb that is but I think this girl is really special and I didn’t want her to be ‘the one that got away’
After Brittney left, we kept talking everyday and I even made plans to go visit her in a few months. We both said that we were falling in love with each other over the phone and things seemed quite serious. However, we both also agreed that we didn’t want a long-distance relationship and we wouldn’t want to be an exclusive couple as it was too painful over that kind of distance.
Brittney had come out of a serious relationship only a few weeks before we met and so I encouraged her to enjoy single life before we got more serious since she said she was worried she was rushing into another relationship. She actually encouraged me to go on dates with other girls in the meantime and I did the same for her with other guys that she met. We weren’t really interested in any of these other people and neither of us slept with anyone else.
Fast forward a few months, I flew over to visit Brittney for a week and we both had an amazing time. I told her that I was falling in love with her and she said she felt the same. A few days after I got home, I got extremely drunk with a few of my friends and ended up sleeping with one of them. My friend and I agreed that it meant nothing and I was fully transparent with her about my situation with Brittney. However, I believed at the time that we still weren’t exclusive. I told Brittney about it first thing in the morning and she was furious.
We hadn’t actually talked about being exclusive in a few weeks ( last time we talked about it we agreed we weren’t exclusive) but she thought it’d been assumed because of our growing feelings for each other. She said it felt like I’d cheated on her and was angry that I’d gotten with someone so soon after getting home. I really regret sleeping with my friend now and if I could take it back I would. I really care for Brittney and I would never cheat on her, so it’s excruciating to hear her call me a cheat.
I know I really fucked up by not communicating better with Brittney and I know I’m a piece of shit for hurting her but I just don’t feel like a cheater. I never have been and never will be. I’m just really confused now and I’m regretting having such an undefined relationship with Brittney. It would’ve hurt me a lot if she’d slept with someone else but I was prepared to go through that because I thought that was how our relationship was and that it was too painful to do anything different over such a long distance. If she forgives me then I will make her my girlfriend and get rid of this painful ambiguity.
I know I’m an arsehole but how badly do you think I fucked up?

Fast forward a few months, I flew over to visit Brittney for a week and we both had an amazing time. I told her that I was falling in love with her and she said she felt the same. A few days after I got home, I got extremely drunk with a few of my friends and ended up sleeping with one of them. My friend and I agreed that it meant nothing and I was fully transparent with her about my situation with Brittney. However, I believed at the time that we still weren’t exclusive. I told Brittney about it first thing in the morning and she was furious.
We hadn’t actually talked about being exclusive in a few weeks ( last time we talked about it we agreed we weren’t exclusive) but she thought it’d been assumed because of our growing feelings for each other. She said it felt like I’d cheated on her and was angry that I’d gotten with someone so soon after getting home. I really regret sleeping with my friend now and if I could take it back I would. I really care for Brittney and I would never cheat on her, so it’s excruciating to hear her call me a cheat.
I know I really fucked up by not communicating better with Brittney and I know I’m a piece of shit for hurting her but I just don’t feel like a cheater. I never have been and never will be. I’m just really confused now and I’m regretting having such an undefined relationship with Brittney. It would’ve hurt me a lot if she’d slept with someone else but I was prepared to go through that because I thought that was how our relationship was and that it was too painful to do anything different over such a long distance. If she forgives me then I will make her my girlfriend and get rid of this painful ambiguity.
I know I’m an arsehole but how badly do you think I fucked up?

2023.03.27 02:26 ManiacDumbo How to Identify Companies with Good Management ?
I have worked as a computer vision engineer for 2 years now, in a country where the IT industry has never had a strong foothold, that lives and dies as interests and the economy waxes and wanes. I have worked in university labs, a government-sponsored institution, and a start-up. I also have a Scrum Master I certificate.
In the start-up, I have worked very hard to help my employer to instate better management practices, from how to measure progress to stabilizing team morale. But I'm at my wit's end, and it's likely I have to consider employment somewhere else.
Thing is, of all the places I have worked in, not one of them have what I call 'good management'. None of them have sustainable business practices, or successful staff retention and development.
I want stable employment, at a company that keeps it's employee turnover rate relatively low, can identify troubles early at hand, have a solid and sustainable business strategy, and assigns adequate responsibilities so my development skills will improve with experience and not go defunct. I don't even have to stay in computer vision, I am fine with backend engineering roles. I came from an academic background and this is my way of breaking into the industry.
But with my experience and knowledge I still cannot properly identify the telltale signs of such a company. I have heard of and answered questions like 'How does your company measure progress?' and 'What is the day-to-day of your company?' But I never know what is the answer that indicates this is a good company to stay in. And are there other ways to tell? I have used Glassdoor before and it could only screen out the worst actors. As for the company websites I really don't know how to judge. No one will claim themselves to be a bad company to work in.
I need some strategies. If there is stuff I could read up or research I should do myself I will gladly do so. I will be grateful for any help or advice given.

2023.03.27 02:26 Gullible-Service-363 Truth need to be told
The [Kunama] are one of the indigenous tribes inhabiting the areas around the Setit and Gash river basin, which extends up to and along the Eritrean and Sudanese border in Eritrea and the adjacent districts of Humera and Adi Abo in the Tigray National Regional State in North-western Ethiopia. The Kunama people are nominally divided into four main groups: Kunama Aimasa, living in the western part of the provincial capital town of Barentu; Kunama Barka, living along the river Gash in the south-eastern part of Barentu; Kunama Marda, residing in the north-eastern part of Barentu; and Kunama Tika, living along the river Gash in the southern part of Barentu" (Ethiopia Humanitarian Update 28 Feb 2002).
The Eritrean government changed the name of the Gash-Setit region to Gash-Barka in 1995 when there was an administrative restructuring in the country. This region is relatively rich in resources. According to a study by Alexander Naty, a professor in the Department of Anthropology at Asmara University:
"There is a great deal of fertile land for farming not only staple food crops such as sorghum, millet and a variety of legumes but also cash crops such as cotton and sesame. There has been a belief that considers the Gash-Setit region as [the] breadbasket of Eritrea. The notion of breadbasket encourages the establishment of large scale farms in the area. The promotion of such farms has been causing environmental degradation in the country….The Gash-Setit region is endowed with pastureland [where] pastoral societies graze their livestock. Communities such as the Tigre and Hedareb graze their camels, cattle and goats in the area. This situation has brought these societies in conflict with the Kunama. According to oral history the conflicts that took place between the Kunama and the coalition of Tigre, Hedareb and the Nara in the 1940s and 1950s were all caused by competition over grazing land" (Naty 2002).
Settlement of people from other areas in the Gash-Setit region was limited during the period of Italian colonialism, under the imperial regime of Haile Selassie, and up to the period of independence. But, settlements "increased alarmingly after [Eritrean] independence" (Naty 2002):
"Since 1991 the area has witnessed the settlement of populations from other regions of Eritrea (particularly highland parts of the country) demobilized ex-fighters and returnees from Sudan….The 1998 conflict between Eritrea and Ethiopia has also resulted in the settlement of the internally displaced populations from the Tigrinya ethnic group in Kunama villages, such as Delle, Tolegamaja and Karkon" (Naty 2002).
According to Naty:
"The [Eritrean government] policy that made all land state property has encouraged the settlement of people from other regions of Eritrea in the area. The settlers compete with the local populations over the utilization of resources. The competition over scarce resources often leads to tension. The agricultural policy of the state encourages big commercial farms. The individuals who own these commercial farms are mostly from the Tigrinya ethnic group. The land policy of the Eritrean government undermines the clan-based traditional ownership of land among the Kunama" (Naty 2002).
Horn of Africa specialist Patrick Gilkes states that the Kunama "have suffered extensively at the hands of Tigrinya speaking highlanders who have encroached on their lands, in the past and since Eritrean independence" (BBC News 23 May 2000).

2023.03.27 02:25 wolvesonsaturn So much regret.
This post is really hard to write. There's a lot of regret, grief, and guilt in it.
My husband passed away back in September of last year, some of you may remember my post talking about it. We had our son in August so they only got to spend a month together. We have two older kids who obviously took it extremely hard.
So, to the whole reason for my post is that I don't know why but I feel distant as a mother to my kids, but especially the baby. I almost feel as if the stress of adding another child caused my husband to be under such tremendous stress it caused him to have a heart attack which lead to a traumatic brain injury. He was working non-stop because my maternity leave wasn't paid (which I do blame the multi billion dollar company I work for who could easily pay it). The thing is our life was good, it was happy before this. My best friend believes that my son was sent by the universe because it knew I would lose my husband and part of me does believe that but at the same time I almost think that's another reason I feel distant. That it's not blame on my son but it's this feeling that had I not went through with the pregnancy he might still be here. It's so conflicting and I hate myself for feeling this way hence the guilt.
I don't know what to call it. But, my life now is just a mess. Having three kids alone without their dad is so very hard. I realize people do it everyday but this loss is felt, the grief we feel has this gravity that is almost suffocating. You can feel it when you enter a room. I wish I could go back in time and find my husband in time to save him. I wish so much that things were different. I know I can't, I guess I wonder does anyone else have feelings like this?

2023.03.27 02:24 gone-sovereign Apex Racing Sportsman Series - A Hybrid Online/Offline League for NR2003!!
If anyone here is looking for a new kind of online racing experience, look no further! This is the Apex Racing Sportsman Series!
The Apex Racing Sportsman Series is a hybrid online/offline league run using the racing simulator NASCAR Racing 2003 Season. This league exists on a floating timeline concurrent with the TM Master Cup Series canon universe, wherein NASCAR does not exist. The premise is that this is a Sportsman league held by Apex Racing School that uses old and out-of-use backup cars from TM Lights, FARC, and ASCC. Human players will mix it up with AI characters across a variety of ovals and road courses in what may be the first league of its kind. And if for some reason you can't race yourself, don't worry -- you can opt for the AI to cover for you!
This league is being hosted by ErnhrtFanRacing, which is a group of sim-racers and racing enthusiasts who have been in each other’s company for over a decade. This league is open invitation, and drivers of all backgrounds are welcome!
We hold two races a week, split between Sunday and Monday nights, with qualifying being held at 7:30 PM EST (with any and all races subject to postponement). Races will last anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes. We use the Cup90 mod (CTS physics), and entrants may paint their own cars (we mandate templates), request a paintjob, or pick premade cars from previous Cup90 TM canon carset releases.
We are already a few races into the season, but it's proved to be a successful experiment so far, and signups will remain open all season long! See the rules document below for more details, a link to the signup form, and a link to our Discord. Thanks!

The premise is that this is a Sportsman league held by Apex Racing School that uses old and out-of-use backup cars from TM Lights, FARC, and ASCC. Human players will mix it up with AI characters across a variety of ovals and road courses in what may be the first league of its kind. And if for some reason you can't race yourself, don't worry -- you can opt for the AI to cover for you!
This league is being hosted by ErnhrtFanRacing, which is a group of sim-racers and racing enthusiasts who have been in each other’s company for over a decade. This league is open invitation, and drivers of all backgrounds are welcome!
We hold two races a week, split between Sunday and Monday nights, with qualifying being held at 7:30 PM EST (with any and all races subject to postponement). Races will last anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes. We use the Cup90 mod (CTS physics), and entrants may paint their own cars (we mandate templates), request a paintjob, or pick premade cars from previous Cup90 TM canon carset releases.
We are already a few races into the season, but it's proved to be a successful experiment so far, and signups will remain open all season long! See the rules document below for more details, a link to the signup form, and a link to our Discord. Thanks!

2023.03.27 02:23 Timely-Hotel7172 Behaviour when enlightened?
I suspect everyone has different abilities when enlightened. Gandhi I think would be one type of enlightened personality. Are there others? In my case I seem similar to Gandhi (it comes very naturally to me) in that love seems to act through me and I always do the 'perfect' thing in the external world to show love to others (which in many cases could bring them the pain which they need to heal).
In current society this tends to cause pain to most (real love is painful to the ego) so I need to be discerning who I approach in this state as it often results in hate from them (as usually they are part of a group and eventually they turn against you due to gossip etc).
I could simply approach those who would be more receptive to the healing but I have always been more drawn to the ones who need it most (those who some may see as psychopaths, for example). I now realise they just grab power whenever they can and can't be challenged or they will try to win at all costs (they see you as weak so it enrages them much more if they can't win). They will not harm you if you are in the perfect state and some don't even perceive it (others may seem wary and scared of the state but they may have more love in them). Should I just approach less challenging people instead?
Anyway, my main point is that I am pretty sure different people will behave differently when enlightened, based on their particular personality type. I think most enlightened people you hear of are similar to me in that enlightenment comes quite naturally to them but I'm sure those who need to work harder at it won't have the same behaviour outwardly. I even hear that some people actually see energy but I do not see anything similar, although my behaviour seems unpredictable but in retrospect is always a way of showing others glimpses of the truth. It seems the universe is acting through me. I don't see any bad and don't feel I could be harmed.
Maybe there should be a list somewhere of how different personality types behave when enlightened? I think I'm simply the healer or what was known as INFP by Myers Briggs but I am pretty sure it expresses in a different way with some other people who might need to work harder at it. This is a general question for Eastern Philosophies not just Buddhism as I know many are similar and there is only one truth, after all.
What is surprising is society actually prevents enlightenment (an obvious realisation in that state) so maybe the final step of evolution is to achieve this state for all. Currently many personality disorders from childhood prevent this state as attempts at healing will make these people worse (maybe 10% can't be healed but this could easily go down to a few percent with some changes in society - maybe these people can still get along together separately as they will obviously compromise the state for others as it is too painful for them to be in that state).

2023.03.27 02:22 maqueron International Relations Students?
I'm a recent admit and intended international relations major. However, I have not committed to JHU yet because I'm waiting on my Georgetown SFS decision.
My admittance to Hopkins was the biggest surprise of my life. I was at the point in the college process where Georgetown was the only school that was considered prestigious and selective on my list. However, about a half hour before Hopkins' deadline, I decided to apply on a whim. I just recycled one of my old essays for the supplemental and didn't even submit my test scores. I knew I wasn't going to get in to a school with that low of an acceptance rate, so I didn't bother researching or getting excited about it. I even ignored the "your decision is ready" email! You can imagine my reaction when I saw a package...
Now, here I am, and JHU is DEFINITELY an option for me. I'm frantically running around trying to learn all I can about the university besides, "it's IR program is good." I'm visiting next month, but current or past international relations students, can you please speak to your experience? What makes JHU special to you as an IR student? I feel like I can pull numbers, rankings, and statistics off of Google all day, but what has your undergraduate experience looked like thus far? How would you say it compares to others? Pros? Cons?

2023.03.27 02:22 Anisikalasa Just short memory .
The [Kunama] are one of the indigenous tribes inhabiting the areas around the Setit and Gash river basin, which extends up to and along the Eritrean and Sudanese border in Eritrea and the adjacent districts of Humera and Adi Abo in the Tigray National Regional State in North-western Ethiopia. The Kunama people are nominally divided into four main groups: Kunama Aimasa, living in the western part of the provincial capital town of Barentu; Kunama Barka, living along the river Gash in the south-eastern part of Barentu; Kunama Marda, residing in the north-eastern part of Barentu; and Kunama Tika, living along the river Gash in the southern part of Barentu" (Ethiopia Humanitarian Update 28 Feb 2002).
The Eritrean government changed the name of the Gash-Setit region to Gash-Barka in 1995 when there was an administrative restructuring in the country. This region is relatively rich in resources. According to a study by Alexander Naty, a professor in the Department of Anthropology at Asmara University:
"There is a great deal of fertile land for farming not only staple food crops such as sorghum, millet and a variety of legumes but also cash crops such as cotton and sesame. There has been a belief that considers the Gash-Setit region as [the] breadbasket of Eritrea. The notion of breadbasket encourages the establishment of large scale farms in the area. The promotion of such farms has been causing environmental degradation in the country….The Gash-Setit region is endowed with pastureland [where] pastoral societies graze their livestock. Communities such as the Tigre and Hedareb graze their camels, cattle and goats in the area. This situation has brought these societies in conflict with the Kunama. According to oral history the conflicts that took place between the Kunama and the coalition of Tigre, Hedareb and the Nara in the 1940s and 1950s were all caused by competition over grazing land" (Naty 2002).
Settlement of people from other areas in the Gash-Setit region was limited during the period of Italian colonialism, under the imperial regime of Haile Selassie, and up to the period of independence. But, settlements "increased alarmingly after [Eritrean] independence" (Naty 2002):
"Since 1991 the area has witnessed the settlement of populations from other regions of Eritrea (particularly highland parts of the country) demobilized ex-fighters and returnees from Sudan….The 1998 conflict between Eritrea and Ethiopia has also resulted in the settlement of the internally displaced populations from the Tigrinya ethnic group in Kunama villages, such as Delle, Tolegamaja and Karkon" (Naty 2002).
According to Naty:
"The [Eritrean government] policy that made all land state property has encouraged the settlement of people from other regions of Eritrea in the area. The settlers compete with the local populations over the utilization of resources. The competition over scarce resources often leads to tension. The agricultural policy of the state encourages big commercial farms. The individuals who own these commercial farms are mostly from the Tigrinya ethnic group. The land policy of the Eritrean government undermines the clan-based traditional ownership of land among the Kunama" (Naty 2002).
Horn of Africa specialist Patrick Gilkes states that the Kunama "have suffered extensively at the hands of Tigrinya speaking highlanders who have encroached on their lands, in the past and since Eritrean independence" (BBC News 23 May 2000).

2023.03.27 02:21 StepwiseUndrape574 This Red Dead Redemption 2 Mod Adds A New Character And Single-Player Campaign
It has been more than nine years since Grand Theft Auto 5 hit the store shelves. Only about four years have passed since Red Dead Redemption 2 wound up in the hands of fans of the old west game. Most people have played through all the content of both, or at the very least watched streamers and content creators do so. Some people think that there should be new and big updates to Red Dead Redemption 2.
For TakeTwo Interactive subsidiary, Rockstar Games, both of the titles have been practically printing them money, but between the two GTA V has definitely been far more lucrative. With both of the online installments continuing to add content and making it so that there is more to do and play within the universe of these games.

2023.03.27 02:19 ImaginaryError3204 I hate how complicated everything is
I really just hate how complicated everything is. I want universalism to be true, but I really hate the steps I have to take to get there. The fact that millions of Christian’s will adamantly argue that universalism isn’t true, and the fact that there’s hundreds of different denominations all saying different things. Different views of hell, annihilationism, infernalism, inclusivism. It’s so overwhelming. Why would God make everything so complicated?
For me it would be easier if I just didn’t believe any of it at all. But then if I’m wrong I could be sent to hell forever to be tortured endlessly.
Can anybody bring me any comfort for any of this? I wish there was just an answer for all of this that would make everything make sense, but I feel like I’ll just live with this inner turmoil forever :/

2023.03.27 02:19 Emilooo538 I (23F) don’t know how to respond to my dads (64m) constant belittlement anymore
TLDR; My dads a douche becise I’m successful and chubby.
Basically the title. I grew up as a kid on the heavier side, I was a bit of a loser and really struggled with myself. My home situation was also hard. My dad had always been emotionally abusive and would never see me as a daughter to be proud of unless I got ‘in shape and smartened up’.
As a 12-15 year old girl this really hurt me and body image being constantly told to suck in my gut and I’d never amount to anything unless I was skinny and fit and I ended up developing a eating disorder and have always had a very fluctuating weight ever since.
I moved out the day I turned 18 and moved to a big city for university where I finally saw a doctor where I was prescribed antidepressants and I 100% changed my life around into a outgoing and popular girl, went though university highly successful, and got a full time- permanent high paying job right out of school and started doing my masters on the side in the new town I moved too. During all this my father would constantly hound me that I’d be so much happier if I got in shape and was never able to not add that even when acknowledging my accomplishments.
Last year I fell into a terrible depression when working in a remote camp job as the only girl on a team of scientists and dropped 30lbs. I was miserable. My father was ecstatic I was so ‘fit and healthy’.
I got prescribed a new medication, a very expensive one, and again I saw huge improvements to myself, i moved into a new and better apartment, met the love of my life, and have overall spent the last year just so incredibly happy- and with it I ended up gaining some weight just from going out with friends and enjoying cooking and baking again and yes I don’t feel super comfortable with the weight I’ve gained but I’m the happiest I’ve ever been and my boyfriend doesn’t mind it, although I am trying to lose some of it.
Well today my parents came to visit and while at a restaurant after talking about what I’m up to and how happy I am he turned to me and told me ‘I worked to get how fit I was last year and it makes him sad to see me go backwards’
I was absolutely devastated by the comment but didn’t say anything about it, but I have a feeling my mother game him a piece of her mind because he sent me a text apologizing for the comment and he didn’t mean to insult me but feels I should just try to keep up my hard work and stay in shape. How do I even respond to that?? I’m so hurt and insulted. I don’t think I’m going to text him back but I have no idea how to deal with any of this. Maybe therapy? It just makes me so sad that I’ve become so successful and happy in life but none of that even matters to him because of my weight - and for reference I’m not even that big if your imagining a 200 lb woman, I’ve never been more than 165lbs and am 5’5.
What do I do?

2023.03.27 02:17 Ocean_Breez3 Discouraging Words from Department Chair
I made an appointment to speak with a department chair for advice about career goals. I once dreamed of obtaining a tenured professor position. During the meeting, he told me he would throw an application away if he didn't see UCLA or some other prestigious school. He said this after I told him the university I currently attend (doctorate student). This was discouraging and now I'm looking into transferring to a more prestigious university in which I will acquire an enormous amount of debt (100K). The reason I chose the university I'm at now is because it's affordable and has a decent reputation. No, it's not UCLA or USC, but it's a nice school.
I could use some advice. I'm surprised his words have caused me to rethink the school. The chair said he was telling me how "the game goes."
What do you think? Is the large student loan debt worth it? Is there really an ROI?

2023.03.27 02:16 VaquitaPorpoise TDP Wondercon Panel 2023 on animation education, updates, and more!
Hey TDP fandom! Today is a special occasion with the TDP team today since today is the day they get to attend and host the 2023 TDP Wondercon event!
The TDP team of co-creator Justin Richmond, executive producer Villads Spangsberg, writers Paige VanTassell and Joe Cocoran were present at the panel along with voice actor Jack de Sena who voices Callum in the TDP series hosted an exhibition breaking down a fan favorite scene from season 4.
The TDP team educated the audience on how scenes from a episode get transferred from storyboard to being live on the streaming screen on tv, laptops, and mobile devices.
While it’s completely understandable that not everyone in the TDP fandom would be able to attend the TDP Wondercon panel due to living completely far away in other countries or states or personal circumstances, this post will help everyone keep up to date on what occurred in the panel with the TDP team behind the scenes along with the TDP content that was discussed with the audience.
Before we discuss all the updates that occurred during the panel, I want to credit Cartoon Universe for live tweeting the entire event on their official Twitter page updating everyone to those who couldn’t attend the TDP Wondercon panel in person.
Now without further ado, let’s review on all the TDP content, news and updates that occurred during Wondercon!
Second, the TDP team begin with a broad season outline where they perform a premise summary of each episode which goes at least up to two documents of the episode that leads them into the outline.
Third, the TDP team reads the script out loud to see if the tone and dialogue matches the scene.
Fourth, the TDP team give the voice actors a couple of days to read the script and the lines they’re going to record.
Fifth, the TDP team possess an entire orchestra for some soundtracks!
Sixth, the TDP team now enters the storyboard and animation process.
Seventh, they now enter the LRC and animation phase making the scene move in action.
Eighth, every episode has a color key and has a set of 20-30 shots from the episode to see what color tone it should have.
Then the finally they go to the sound and mixing.
There was a lot of TDP content that were presented at Wondercon today! We were so lucky to get season 5 news and now we can prepare ourselves for more season 5 news to come in the summer! We’re not that far off!

- I’m going to cut right to the chase on the most important detail: SEASON 5 IS COMING THIS SUMMER!!!!! This is not a drill! Book 5 Ocean will be coming out this summer!
- People who won the TDP trivia were given out of context spoilers for season 5! Here are just a few: Crimson Orchids “I love you daddy” The Tale of Tidebound Tina Callum + Kazi= Book Besties! The Bloodline that Binds A festering wound
- The TDP team demonstrated their animation process by using a scene from Breathtaking in season 4 on the mage fight between Claudia and Ibis as they fight to obtain the staff of Ziard in their possession at the Storm Spire as they were fighting against each other.

2023.03.27 02:15 moomoopopscicle A psychiatrist told me afew years ago I had a 1 in 3 chance of developing schizophrenia, now I’m not sure whether I am experiencing symptoms or just mad anxiety?
So from 15-18 I had a pretty bad drug addiction. It started with weed then escalated to LSD which I used regularly twice a week for about two months before I had my first psychosis. I was tripping (on a very high dose because my tolerance) with a not very nice guy (not important) but I started to feel scared and all I remember is experiencing this ‘oneness’ with everything in the universe then I remember peering out to see myself being lifted into ambulance etc. it lasted all night and was pretty traumatic as I was in isolation room. Next morning the psych gives me that news. I keep using but every few weeks the psychosis would become long and sneaky. From afew days to afew weeks. I had about 4 that required hospitalisation. Afew calmed down on their own but in hindsight should of been medicated. Weed was the main trigger so I moved to other drugs like cocaine until I got sober because the delusions were worrying me.
I’ve been sober for 16 months and I recently came off Prozac which I’d been on 40mg for 3 years. That gave me visual snow syndrome which makes my vision all fuzzy and sometimes I see flashes and floaters.
I know my delusions are not real now - they only pop up like intrusive thoughts and I try to ground. If I hear an old song or see a movie. I feel low and anxious all the time but i dont know if that’s depression. One thing that worries me the most is my thoughts feel scrambled sometimes. When I’m writing this sentence for example I might randomly hear songs playing in my head like a loop like ‘two radios at once’. (It’s not audible). I know it’s my thought but especially at night I’ll close my eyes for afew seconds and hear thoughts of random sentences seeing random faces and situations related to the day and I’m not in control of it - I read about pre sleep hallucinations which I think is common but this always makes me very anxious.
I often jerk awake during them in fear last few weeks. It’s pretty scary. I’m also having a lot of trouble sleeping. But yeah the disorganised thought is worrying. I have ‘narration’ that comes up in the thought, it’s quite subtle but I’m worried one day it will just break and it will grow out of control. Sleeping has been a real issue and I do feel apathetic a lot i dont know if that’s depression. When I’m falling asleep and have these ‘visions’ I’ll poke my eyes open for a second and have no idea what I was just thinking, it feels like rabbit holes of random scary thoughts. I also upon opening my eyes after these or jerking awake in fear (automatic body response) will see a black smudge or a floater and it will dissapear after I focus for a second. Sometimes it can be big.
Different parts of My body also trembles vibrates and my skull too when I’m trying to sleep from anxiety.
Should I be concerned? I’m currently between therapists and not on medication. Any advice or help would be appreciated. It may just be anxiety and some mild anxious thought but I do feel out of control of the thinking. It’s just like a little thought that echoes thing I wrote it’s only sometimes though. Does this sound like early symptoms?
My body just won’t let me sleep and I have to hold my eyes open even though they are dropping asleep because part of me feels scared.
Thank you for reading 🙏🏼

I’ve been sober for 16 months and I recently came off Prozac which I’d been on 40mg for 3 years. That gave me visual snow syndrome which makes my vision all fuzzy and sometimes I see flashes and floaters.
I know my delusions are not real now - they only pop up like intrusive thoughts and I try to ground. If I hear an old song or see a movie. I feel low and anxious all the time but i dont know if that’s depression. One thing that worries me the most is my thoughts feel scrambled sometimes. When I’m writing this sentence for example I might randomly hear songs playing in my head like a loop like ‘two radios at once’. (It’s not audible). I know it’s my thought but especially at night I’ll close my eyes for afew seconds and hear thoughts of random sentences seeing random faces and situations related to the day and I’m not in control of it - I read about pre sleep hallucinations which I think is common but this always makes me very anxious.
I often jerk awake during them in fear last few weeks. It’s pretty scary. I’m also having a lot of trouble sleeping. But yeah the disorganised thought is worrying. I have ‘narration’ that comes up in the thought, it’s quite subtle but I’m worried one day it will just break and it will grow out of control. Sleeping has been a real issue and I do feel apathetic a lot i dont know if that’s depression. When I’m falling asleep and have these ‘visions’ I’ll poke my eyes open for a second and have no idea what I was just thinking, it feels like rabbit holes of random scary thoughts.
