The gap is 2 months so far. I have spent some time taking certifications which are highly relevant to the roles I'm applying for (data analyst/scientist). I chose to leave my previous position because I was going to be made redundant. Is it enough to say I've been expanding my skillset by studying for certifications? Does it imply anything bad if I mention I left of my own accord?
Also the job was my first job in this kind of role, so it doesn't look great...

Me and my three friends are visiting Vilnius for the first time next weekend for 8 Festival.
We’re staying at Real House Jasinskio and will be there from the Thursday to the Monday.
We’ve never visited Vilnius or Lithuania before and we’re really excited. Does anyone have any recommendations for food/drink/nightlife around the area we are staying? If anyone has any general tips and tricks for an enjoyable stay, we’d massively appreciate it.
Cheers!

i’ve only ever told one professional, and it went really badly. like, think of the worst thing that could happen and maybe it’s 2 degrees lower than that because there’s a lot of really bad things out there. my point is- it was BAD. ever since then i’ve been terrified to open up about it. i now have a therapist i really really like and we’ve connected on every level, she’s completely understanding of all my struggles i’ve shared with her thus far and i have a good feeling about her, she seems to genuinely care and want to listen to me which is something i never experienced before.
the reason i’m so scared to mention anything is multifold, i suppose. for one, i don’t want her to think differently of me when i tell her. i feel a lot of shame due to my tendencies even though it’s something i want to work through with her support i’m still embarrassed to talk about it, especially when the prime component of my ed is different from what most people would expect. it’s just embarrassing. i feel so ashamed of myself every day. but that’s what i want to change, i realized today why it happens and i want to tell my therapist and maybe see if she can help figure it out fully for me.
my primary concern is that she will take it too seriously and suggest i get treatment somewhere else. i don’t want to share explicit details but my past experience, i told my psychiatrist about behaviors i had when i was THIRTEEN (19 at the time of this story) and she recommended me to a mysterious ed clinic (that she never gave me any info on before completely dumping me as a client) based off of that even tho i told her i didn’t participate in those activities anymore since i was very young. i’m scared of an extreme overreaction when all i want is someone to understand where my pain & struggles with food are coming from, because it’s not about my weight!!!!! it never has been about my weight!! i know what caused this and i know what can help, i’m just so scared of not being listened to again and immediately dismissed. i’m drafting an email to her right now i’m just so stressed because i really really like this therapist and i feel listened to for the first time. i don’t think she’d do anything like that to me but at the same time i have ANOTHER bad experience with a therapist i won’t even go into bc it’s still traumatic for me, she was the first and until now the only therapist i trusted so i’m so scared to lose this connection i’ve made with my new one:(
TLDR: it takes me so long to find non judgmental mental health professionals and i don’t want to jeopardize this by saying anything dumb. but i don’t know how else to get help. did any of you talk to your regular therapists (not psychiatrists or doctors or anyone who can diagnose) about any ed’s or symptoms of ed’s? did it go well for you?

My ex wants to take our boys (both under 10 yrs old) to the forest and shoot bb guns (airsoft guns). While there is no minimum age requirement where we live I don’t really feel comfortable or am I just being paranoid? The main reason why I don’t like this idea is because I do not trust my ex. He is not responsible in every way. He rarely does anything with our kids when he sees them (1x week) but out of all child friendly activities such as going to the pool, biking, why does he have to choose this? He also told our youngest that if he didn’t give daddy a hug he would not give him a gun. Like wtf why are you bribing a child with guns and coercing physical affection? Last week he forced our kids to give grandma (his mom) a kiss or else he wouldn’t give them money. Anyway any advice about the bb guns? Please no negative comments. I asked this question in a different post and somebody called me stupid ☹️

This forum is certainly not a fan rumors however the truth is sports, like many other aspects of life are all built on the foundation of speculation. There is no shortage of speculation surrounding Napoli, and at least from my opinion a lot of uncertainty for a team that just won the scudetto and will probably go down as one of the best Napoli teams in history.
\*Everything expressed in this post is my opinion and not to be taken as fact.** reminder: we are allowed to have individual opinions that other disagree with*
There are 4 elements surrounding the team that are either fact or leaning much closer to the side of most likely to happen on the speculation spectrum

• Spalletti is gone and we need a new coach
• Guintoli will be released and we need a new D.S.
• Kim’s clause could be triggered and we need a new CB
• Osi, he wants to stay but there is a price on his head

These aren’t tweaks to a championship side, these have the potentials to be extremely impactful changes for a team that captivated the world this year.
We potentially could lose: the coach of the year, defender of the year, D.S. of the year and attacker of the year. I can write an entirely different post about why an organization is potentially losing all it’s best pieces after a championship but I wont go there today.
Today, I am diving into my “wishes” for how these 4 elements are resolved, what I see as the best case scenario, most probable scenario, and worst case.
1) It starts with the coach:
A lot of rumors here obviously, I will not dive into why I really think Spalletti resigned here just how we move forward.
In my opinion in today’s football a coach has three roles, it’s rare to be good at all three but the three are:

• Tactics: can he establish a style of play, put his players in the best possible position to succeed for the team, and adapt to different situations and moments through the year
• Locker room / psychology: can he unite a group (or in our case keep them united) and find different ways to motivate them throughout the year – this IMO is how Spalletti won this year, leaning into this
• Retaining and attracting players: there is no secret that a coach could have a major influence on who comes to the team, who stays on a team etc. Obviously it is also highly dependent on the teams ambitions and goals, but in Napoli’s sake we are a top 20 club in Europe without discussion a team that has won and wants to continue to win.

Best case: build on Spalletti’s work on the pitch and in the locker-room but bring some different ideas to fuel our growth. To me, this is the best case and for this, we need a coach who has a balance of all three roles (tactics, locker room, talent). My (realistic) wish? Someone along the lines of Diego Simone, Roberto Manchini etc. That class of managers, a manger that has won, knows how to win, knows how to compete within the Top 20 clubs of the world, who has a pedigree that can influence a locker room, and that top players or emerging top players recognize, respect and want to play for.
Most probable: Someone who has proven themselves among a lower echelon’s of teams as a manger, is a gamble of sorts, but tactically sound. This would be someone along the lines of Vincenzo Italiano ot Tiago Motta. They have proven that at a lower level (compared to Napoli) organization they can compete, so the bet is that they can continue that at a better club, with better players, and the biggest stage. They have never had to manage a locker room of champions and integrate new pieces into a championship side, but the hope is that the locker room is already united so the work won’t be as difficult, they won’t be reason that an Osi stays or a new top emerging prospect or players comes. But we lean on the pedigree and success of the club for that.
Worst case: A manger with stale ideas, and old mentality comes and deflates of the energy of the club on the pitch and in the locker room. OR someone who is unproven in Serie A, and hasn’t had continual success on an international stage. To me this is Rafa Benitez or Conceição.
2) The Giuntoli saga.
Best case: Two scenarios

1. ADL doesn’t release him, convinces him to sign a new contract for 2-3 more years and he stays. Or for very pity reasons he releases him under the conditions that he can’t go to another Italian club next year.
2. We hire a figure head who has been part of the club, is known and respected in the global football world; here I am thinking something like Fabio Cannavaro or Hamsik and then you surround them with a very tactical managerial team that takes care of scouting, contracts etc. Sort of how Inter have done with Zanetti, Milan with Maldini, and Juve in the past with Nedved. I believe this would be a great option if we go with a plan b or c coach like an Italiano or Motta, but then have a Fabio Cannavaro type be the face of Napoli for retention and recruiting

Most probable: ADL lets him go to Juve, and we bring in a D.S. from a lower echelon club like Bari or Empoli. We take a change on them to see if they can take the same growth trajectory as Giuntoli, even though neither of them have had the success that Giuntoli had a carpi nor the recognition of how talented and respected they are
Worst case: Someone completely unknown from inside the organization takes over which will have very minimal external appeal but hopefully understands the “secret” sauce behind napoli’s success this decade.
3) Kim
Best case: A new manager comes in, sits him down and convinces him to stay at least one more year. We give him a substantial raise and increase the release clause.
Most probable: He goes to Man united, and we bring in a replacement who has either had success in serie A, but is young and has room to grow like Scalvini of Atalanta, or we bring in a young defender from abroad that has some international experience.
Worst case: Juan Jesus becomes his replacement in the starting line up
4) Osi
Here is my take, I think Osi wants to stay and I think he would stay but I believe (again just my opinion) there are two things to clarify and resolve for him to do so. 1) we give him a new contract and increase his salary, 2) he needs to feel like Napoli have a strategy / project that is going to continue to have him compete for championships. Before yesterday I was 50-50 that he would stay, however this morning I feel like it’s a 70-30 chance he will, he wants to, but we need to give him assurances
Best Case: a new manager comes in that he clicks with right away and convinces him of the project, sort of like Sarri did with Higuain even though that situation was different, Gonzalo already was on a top 5 club in the world, so his “hunger” for a taste of that likely isn’t as much as Osi’s, however Osi is younger, and is at the beginning of his prime, not smack in the middle of it staring at the other side.
Most Probable: I really don’t know, I think what he said yesterday as spot on- its not in his hands. If the right coach comes in and ADL rewards him financially for this year, I really think he will stay. If he doesn't i can see a situation where Simone becomes our main striker and we bring in a hot prospect underneath him
Worst case: we lose him and replace him with another bet, but this time the bet wont be someone Giuntoli believes in and backs, but rather someone the new D.S. does, which then becomes a bet from a bet.
Look obviously none of us know what is going to happen, the Napoli situation is strange and a very delicate one. You don’t want to mess too much with the equilibrium of a team that did so well but the uncertainties are surrounding our best pieces on and off the pitch.
On a pure hunch stand point I think Kim, Giuntoli and obviously Spalletti are gone. However we do have a great chance to keep Osi.
The rumor mill has very little to say about the D.S. position making me feel like it is already a done deal, either he is 100% staying (unlikely) or he is gone and ADL already has a commitment from a replacement.
The key in all of this becomes the manager, a Italiano / Motta type ( I reiterate: I said type not them specifically) will likely take the team in one direction while a Manccini or Simone type will take us into another.
My absolute dream scenario (that is also somewhat realistic): We bring in a Manccini or Simone type, our D.S. becomes Cannavaro or Hamsik type, we replace Kim with two promising CB's and Osi Stays.

As a non-American whose country only was allowed all American movies and TV since 1990, I learned pretty late, that characters (or real people?) are supposed to be divided into boxes such as nerds, jocks, geeks ...Does anyone have specific guidelines on how this works? Please feel free to correct:

1. Liking philosophy and/or Hypatia = ok to use as a reason to physically asssault you
2. Liking tabloids and Kardashians = NOT ok to use as a reason to physically assault you
3. Nerd = smart, likes books, but doesn't like being called a 'nerd', can go to the gym or work out (...very weird because according to The Big Bang Theory a nerd is not allowed to be physically fit)
4. country of Senegal = it's ok in there to use Hypatia as a reason to physically asssault you
5. supernatural beings = only care about american phrases and stereotypes, ignore other countries' pop culture, 'take it sleezy', or some saltine crackers that other countries do not have,
6. god = watches only American TV
7. junk food & margaritas = make you super skinny at the age of 34

Introduction / Disclaimer

Let me preface this with a request: If any of this information is not correct or is for some other reason inadvisable, please correct me.
I decided to write this post because it seems like there has been a lot of attention to pipewire and a lot of confusion around how it works and how to set it up following the recent switch to wireplumber.
That might just be my own bias, since pipewire had never really gotten my attention until the recent switch, and the confusion is probably my own.
At any rate, here's what I had to do to make it work.

Clarification about ALSA

You still need to have alsa-utils installed; pipewire is not a replacement for alsa.

Replacing PulseAudio

If you've been using pulseaudio and want to switch to pipewire, you need to remove the pulseaudio package and install these three packages: pipewire, pipewire-pulse, and wireplumber.
Now you need to set these up to autostart in some way; the way you need to do it will depend on your specific setup. However, the executables need to run in a specific order, which is why I recommend creating a shell script like this somewhere in your PATH and adding that script to your autostart setup:

#!/bin/bash # file: ~/.local/bin/start-pipewire pipewire # wait a moment to make sure pipewire is started sleep 1 wireplumber pipewire-pulse 

• With awesome you can use the autorun feature in your rc.lua.
  

  autorun = true autorunApps = { "start-pipewire" } 

• With xfce you can create a new entry in the system settings:
  
  1. Create the shell script as described above
  2. Open the settings manager
  3. In Sessions and Startup, click the "Application Autostart" tab
  4. Click "Add" and type in the name of the shell script you made, and leave it set to trigger "on login"
• For other Desktop Environments or Window Managers, there will be some similar way to run the script on login, but I don't specifically know what those options are. You can figure it out, I believe in you.
  

A note about dbus

If you're not using a Display Manager that sets up a dbus session for you, you're going to need to adjust your ~/.xinitrc to start your WM with a dbus session. For me, that looks like this:

#!/bin/bash # file: ~/.xinitrc # ... start some stuff like xss-lock # last line in the file: exec dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session awesome 

Runit user service

Now, if you're sane, you probably won't be bothered by not having pipewire be packed up in a neat little service, and you don't need to read this part. I guess I must not be sane though, because I really wanted pipewire to run as a user service, and it took me an embarassingly long time to figure out how to make it work properly.
Up until now, I had never had a problem with this approach. To me, this seemed like it would just work for pipewire. I was therefore very surprised to find out that a service like this (and corresponding ones for wireplumber and pipewire-pulse) in my user-local runsvdir always reported down:

#!/bin/sh # file: ~/.runit/runsvdipipewire/run exec pipewire 

I did some digging and found this repository with some examples for runit scripts, but they needed a little bit of adjusting; specifically they make use of the deprecated pipewire-media-session. After adjusting them, I symlinked them in to my runsvdir and … still nothing! At this point, I almost decided to just go back to the shell script and let it go, but the next day I was picking at the problem again and found that the approach for per-user services as described in the void docs puts your user services into an environment that is isolated from your user session. You can take a look at the env of a process in htop, and if you look at any of your usual user-processes you'll probably see a long list of environment variables, but the user-level runsv process started by the system-level runit only knows about the variables you export in /etc/sv/runsvdir-your-username/run like HOME and USER. This effectively hamstrings services that need to run like other "normal" user processes.
What does all of this mean? Basically, you don't need to use a system-level service for creating your user-level runsvdir at all! You can just do this in your autostart configuration: runsvdir ~/.runit/runsvdir &
Here are the complete services for reference:

#!/bin/sh # file: ~/.runit/runsvdipipewire exec pipewire #!/bin/sh # file: ~/.runit/runsvdiwireplumbe # Wait for the PipeWire daemon to start. sv check "$HOME/.runit/sv/pipewire" >/dev/null exit 1 exec wireplumber #!/bin/sh # file: ~/.runit/runsvdipipewire-pulse/ # Wait for wireplumber to start. sv check "$HOME/.runit/sv/wireplumber" >/dev/null exit 1 exec pipewire-pulse 

I moved into a new apartment a month ago. When I leave, my dog will sometimes bark non stop. For context, I have had my dog for 7 years. For the first couple of years, we had this problem where he would bark when he was alone(non stop). It got really bad, to the point where he was starting to claw the door until he drew blood.
I took him to a vet 3 years ago to address the issue and he was prescribed Fluoxetine to take daily to deal with his separation anxiety. He also was prescribed Trazodone (if needed) that he can take an hour before I leave, or every 8 hours. We go to the dog park every morning, and have 3-4 walks a day. Since then, he has been great when left alone and rarely ever took the trazodone.
We just moved 1 month ago, and the barking has returned. He is so well behaved when I am around, but gets very anxious whenever he is alone. He can be fine when left alone for 30-45 minutes, but not always. Sometimes he barks, sometimes he doesn’t. When he does bark, he doesn’t stop. It’s preventing me from being able to really do anything.
Because of this, he has been taking his normal dose of fluoxetine in the morning, and trazodone every 8 hours (1 with breakfast, 1 with dinner) as prescribed. We are still doing our normal trip to the dog park every morning, and walking 3-4 times a day.
Does anyone have any tips on how I can stop this? I want to be able to leave him alone when I have to go to the office, or want to see friends.

Im currently 3months off IV morphine, heroin And fentanyl. I used to take every opiate i could get my hand on to kill my PTSD. I have Been raped as Kid by family member after that my Brother, with whom i was one soul, died aged 20 And i was 16, my best friend died in my arms And last summer i found my gf at the time hanged in our bathroom.

About The Setting
Welcome to the wild world of Dragonlance! Enter Ansalon, a continent that has suffered long since the great cataclysm that shook the world, not only restructuring the land masses but also marking the departure of the gods. Though some of the most devout claims to still draw power from these long-forgotten gods, others have started to turn to newer gods to fill the gap. There are however events unfolding, things that will forever alter the future of the continent as the fate of the mortals there hang in the balance. Can the forces amassing be stopped, and what of the gods that were claimed to be lost, is there any way to change the course of forces unseen preparing to alter this world forever? Find out in this 5e adaptation of the 3.5 Dragonlance Chronicles.
Campaign Details
The group will start in the small city of Starport, which is situated on the Western shore of the Southland region. Characters' motivation will be their own for arriving in this town and will find themselves suddenly thrust into action alongside (possible) strangers. From there events will unravel both in the world at large and based on the characters backgrounds. Slowly the world will evolve around the characters in a large sandbox environment where players' choices will go a long way to shape the world before major events out of anyone's control begin to occur.
About Me
I started playing D&D in Middle School when one of my friends brought in a book he had received. Unfortunately, that didn’t last long since the book was confiscated, but I would pick it up again much later in life. I’ve been playing for a while and DMing for three years (in person until the pandemic) and have amassed a good flow of my campaign which has players just recently hitting Level 14, with a plan for them to reach Level 20.
My Style
I enjoy a good balance between RP and Combat, trying to find a good balance between the two, but differing to what players enjoy the most. Though I’m not phenomenal, I do try to emulate as many voices as possible to add to the immersiveness of the NPCs that will be encountered. The more in-depth your character's backstory, the deeper it can be woven into the story as it unfolds around the characters, with your character taking a main feature in many events built to make your backstory shine.
Why Pay to Play
By paying to play, it allows me to continue my Roll20 subscription, and D&D Beyond subscription (if we can get someone with the books, I can share out characters for a campaign), and to help cover my bills. Proceeds also help to pay for Patreon subscriptions to various Dungeondraft asset creators to help enhance the quality of in-game maps and subscriptions to Inkarnate.
Acceptable Content
Most WotC published books will be accepted (save things like Ravnica backgrounds), I'll do whatever I can to help make sure that we find a way to find your character into the setting.
Character Levels
Characters level based on milestones, they are currently Level 7.
Stats
You may use the following array for stats: 18, 15, 15, 14, 8, 6 (This was the decision on 4d6 rolls by the group).
Players
Looking to add one player to the group.
Frequency
The goal is to play either weekly or every other week on Wednesdays @ 8:00 PM. Each game should last more than 3 hours.
First Session
The first session is free of charge so you can see how my play style meshes with your expectations.
Current Information
The group is currently at Level 7. There is no timeframe for the campaign and I do expect it to reach Level 20. Currently, the campaign is comprised of the following:

• Goliath Fighter
• Tortle Ranger
• Harrengon Cleric
• Fairy Wizard
• Human Warlock

This man really cannot control his Admirals. Greenbull always does what he wants and went to Wano without his permission just to be able to suck him off.
Fujitora is flat out fighting against them and working away from them(freeing the slaves and fighting Greenbull).
(Literally why haven't they fired Fujitora or hired someone to keep a eye on him and make sure he listens?)
Even Kizaru,the one who listens the most,went off to Egghead without Akainu even knowing until he was informed by it.
Lucci just engaged luffy in battle despite giving direct orders to not fight him.
Despite being considered a "final villain",this man has yet to beat his desk and his paperwork while characters like Blackbeard, Shanks, Luffy and such are all getting progress down and working towards their goals and dreams while Akainu's currently been sitting on a desk post-timeskip.
Akainu needs a big feat to show how much stronger he's gotten/been getting so people can take him seriously.
(Hell Aojiki's currently getting handled by Garp,the same man who gave Akainu a insane diff fight).

Anyone tried renewing their certifications early?
I got certified last year (2022) and decided to take up a bunch of lectures and I ended up earning all 36 PACE CME points by June 2023. My certification, however, expires on 2025.
I tried to click “submit declaration” but it is asking me to pay for CMP declaration (95 usd). I wanted to submit everything bec a lot of the lecture points will expire in 1-2 yrs (they’ll be expired by the time I actually need to renew my certification on 2025). If i pay, does this automatically renew my certification for 2025-2028? or does it end up becoming void since my certification is still valid and will continue to be valid until 2025?
I’m scared of paying then i’ll just end up getting “recertified” for 3 yrs from the current date (even though my certificate is still valid).
Pls help :/ Thank u!

My income is $103k, loan is $45k. I used the loan simulator, and it says I'd need to pay about $440/mo for 10 years, so around $53k total over ten years. Not sure if that's worth it. It seems like they would take about what I would make if I payed out of a high interest saving account.
I've actually been at the job 5 years. Is there any way that time can be used retroactively?
Is there any way to negotiate a lower payoff amount for public loans?
I'm older. Does that play any role? It would have been nice if I got the public service job right out of college, but at this point, I don't know if I will be staying here or retiring within 10 years also.

how are you?
I'm currently in the city I've usually transferred from in order to get to you and it feels weird.
It's feeling like one of those usual days where I would get on the train, take a little break and continue the hours long ride to spend time with you.
You've got no idea how much I would like to jump on the next train to your city, call you and ask you out for dinner and how much I would like to tell you this right now but I know that I shouldn't.
I miss seeing you.
I miss waking up next to you.
Kan vi vara för alltid?
I love you

How long does it take for this appeal to be finished? submitted all required proof of no payment found. Context: sold my usdt for fiat, and this buyer tries to scam me through initiating release of funds when in fact there's no payment received on my end.

I have been reaching out to EA help regarding the issue, but after about 4 different attempts figured I would ask here. Recently thought about playing the sims 3 again so I went to install it and everything installs fine except for the sims 3 pets. I only have the base game, late night expansion, and pets. Once the other two download, pets is just stuck in a constant “preparing” loop. I have tried clearing the EA app cache, uninstalling and reinstalling the EA app and the sims 3 itself. I posted to EA help about this and received an email telling me to do all of the above. I reached out again stating I already did all of that so they send me an article from 2017 using origin to solve the problem… explained I would love to do that if origin still worked but would need another solution. Though I still did try installing an older version of origin to install the dlc, but was blocked with the EA app message. I received another helpful message from EA telling me to try repairing the game. This obviously also didn’t work. Does anyone know any solution to this problem? Do I just need to rebuy the game through Steam? This has been ongoing for over a week now and I’m so frustrated with EA. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this.
Also specs/hardware should not be the issue. Not currently at home to post specs, but can later if needed.
Tldr: Sims 3 pets won’t download, EA help unhelpful
