2023.05.30 19:12 yitianjian Changing companies twice rapidly
Hello,
Currently in the US under TN status with CS degree under Software Engineer.
A month ago, I switched companies via I-129 COE and started working at the new company.
However, this has not been a good fit, and I accepted another job offer.
Would it be possible to do another I-129 COE? I haven’t left the country, so my most recent I-94 is still pointed to the old company (with old expiration date). Is there anything about the current company that lawyers/the new I-129 would need to know?

2023.05.30 19:12 magicpogosticks Trying to do everything I can before filing… at almost a complete loss of what to do
Hello everyone,
Can’t believe I’m typing this on an open forum and that I’m in this situation in the first place.
1)All school loans and living expenses for college were taken out to my name - parents had went through a bankruptcy the year prior so had very little help. 2) post school job fell through and I joined a duel masters program 7 days post graduation and got a double masters. Took out loans to cover both educational and personal living expenses in a city…Let’s just say all the deferment, crazy rent, along with non frugal/intelligent living decisions I built up quite the amount of both school (175k) and personal (~45k) debt for when I graduated. Not only that but took a couple of months post deferment to get my school line consolidated and those $1800+ payments lead to the rest of my expenses hitting credit cards.
10 years later - I make a solid living (changed jobs to a higher paying one end of last year) ~ 100k base with quarterly commissions (could hit another 100 once ramped) but compound interest, living expenses, and multiple emergency medical procedures for the fam later, and in at 200k personal and still 175 school
I had entered into a debt settlement program back in November (Americor 180k of personal- and to be honest they have been great) Have 6 of my 9 debts already in settlement plans, although 2 of my 3 largest ones not worked on yet. My mortgage is 2700, my Americor payment 3300 not to mention I have a 1 year old and all Medicaid bills and I’m just at a complete lost. I haven’t missed any payments yet, but my runway for cash is going to be up in the next couple of weeks. The last couple cc cards my wife and I had have been maxed out, and since I won’t get my commissions until end of July, then end of Oct - I don’t think I can continue to make ends meet - I have cashed out my 401k, and all saving/investment portfolios I had. Part of me truly believes just another 10-15k in cash could get me through rest of year when my commission checks are finally fully ramped
Wondering if there are any other ways to get through the next couple of months without filing, my gut is telling me it could be inevitable, but I also don’t want to pull a trigger on it to fast, especially since I haven’t missed any payments for anything yet. When should one reach out to an attorney?
Not sure what I’m looking for here but thank you for reading. I see a few in this community that have great experience, would love to get your take on timing.
Also western Massachusetts is my area

2023.05.30 19:11 ThrowRAwayacc0unt Me F 21 and my boyfriend M 29, are not getting along and I'm starting to think we're incompatible. Can I continue and fix this mess or is it a dead end?
I need advice and help. I don't think me F 21 and my boyfriend M 29 are compatible. We've barely been together 7 months and I'm already seeing so many red flags at this point So this is my first reddit, so bear with me. Me and my boyfriend have been together for almost 7 months, moved in together three months ago (I know major mistake) my lease was ending and the rent in our areas are hard to make on a single income, he had an extra bedroom so we thought we could make it a "roommate" situation (lol now) So I had two dogs and a cat coming into this, all indoors, all sleep in my bed. My oldest girl passed away from cancer a few months ago so its now two of them. And they're not something I will compromise on, I made it through college with them, a relationship is not taking them from me. And he knew that, I was upfront about it before we started dating, pets are indoors and only let out under supervision, including the cat. Well for one, now he's complaining about his allergies to them and the hair (I vacuum every day and change the covers on the couch every two days) but refuses to take an allergy pill. Two, I finally landed my dream job earlier this year but starting on the bottom in this career it's not great but not terrible pay.. three weeks ago he got let go from his job of 9 years due to the lack of incoming work vs employees and talked maybe a whole two days of getting a job. Now he's got this wacky idea of riding on unemployment and pulling from his retirement, and buying broke down cars and rebuilding them, which is what I intend to do down the road (vintage restoration) but he has few tools, little to no knowledge, no truck or trailer to transport these vehicles and we RENT. He already has almost half a dozen cars outside of his own and only one runs, and I have two and one needs a new head gasket (I'm 3 weeks out on my Budget to fix it, yay!) Now it's a regular thing recently, I come home after not having a great day, he gets aggravated about me going to the gym at 9 and coming back a little after 10, I'm a farmers market vendor so I'm either working on my inventory or marketing, my garden, my rig, or with the dog. He doesn't have a job right now, I'll clean the house one evening and come home to it being a total wreck. I've thought about leaving, but I have little savings built up and definitely not enough to rent another pet friendly place, my dad has offered me to move in with him and his wife, but they're currently having issues with my younger 18 yr old brother so their home is a warzone. There's more on how he doesn't think my goals are achievable and ridiculous, ect. Any advice, please help

My gf (immigrant) is in the US on a work visa & I’m a citizen. We just got engaged so I’m not sure what the next step is or what the most optimal path would be ? Her work visa expires in 3 months & her job won’t sponsor her. She was here on a student visa then got a job in her field so then her status changed to work visa. Should I hire a lawyer ? Thank you for any help you can give

As the title says, I'll be going to an on-call status for my full-time job of 4 years to start an internship next month, which will mean I lose my benefits, any tips on medical/dental coverage for a few months? The internship will not be providing those but I feel like I should be prepared for anything. Any other older CS students also been in a similar experience? I'm weary but I feel I have to take risks.

2023.05.30 19:11 Wandering-Cat- WFH Employment agencies?
Hi Everyone,
I’m transitioning out of my current career, which I’ve been in for 32 years. I’m currently a Senior VP, but have been accepted into graduate school, and need to leave my current job so I can remember how to be human.
I’m wondering if anyone knows of an employment agency that specializes in WFH roles? I would be open to just about anything - data entry, customer service.
Thank you!

2023.05.30 19:11 06S-Zaku Non-clinical career options?
I'm an internist who is several years out from residency and have been thinking about my long-term career options. Like many other clinicians, the pandemic accelerated my rate of burn-out. I'm tired of dealing with all the paperwork, P2P's, and BS that's associated with clinical care, and though there are still moments where I marvel at our profession and what we can do for our patients, the downsides of clinical care greatly exceed the upsides. I have explored direct primary care models, telemedicine, and concierge medicine, but these would simply be band-aid solutions given my current situation. I've also tried decreasing my clinical time, which has similarly not helped. I'm also not depressed or having a sudden mid-life crisis - I've been thinking about this now for well over a year. In short, I'm trying to find a non-clinical career that's lower stress, sustainable and makes use of my degree and experiences, while still providing a decent compensation ($200k+ incl bonuses, etc.).
From my research, common non-clinical career options include pharmaceuticals, medical science liaisons, consulting, and utilization management. I don't have any background in research, nor am I interested in pharmaceuticals enough to try to get a competitive position. I'm not the fastest thinker and more of an introvert, so neither MSI nor consulting seem to fit my strengths (and honestly would likely further my burn-out). Turning to the dark side and doing utilization management for an insurance company would actually fit many of my 'ideal' career criteria, except I'll become part of the problem, which is not my plan.
So what other options are there? Are there any non-clinical government jobs that I should be exploring? If so, what are key words that I should be looking up when job searching? Any leads are greatly appreciated!

2023.05.30 19:11 lightning2183 Judgment Day as Metaphor
If James Cameron really does decide to move forward with his reformulation of the Terminator franchise, I think there is the strong possibility that he actually might take this new vision and explore it in the context of the Classic Future War, subverting it in ways we don't expect.
He said that he wants to explore the AI side of things. He once mentioned, right before Dark Fate's release, that he had always been interested in doing a Terminator film set in the Future War but he would've done it very differently from Salvation.
I could potentially see him explore the "transhuman" angle, where Skynet and its human collaborators try to build a machine run utopia, a world without pain, suffering, or fear.
Skynet would have evolved into becoming an overarching consciousness, so to speak. And the only hope left for mankind is to to transcend the flesh and connect to the Skynet hive mind using new, cybernetic bodies to which the "soul" is transferred to, so to speak. Think of the original Project Angel subplot from T4, but done much better and without hybrids.
In order to do this, I think it would be wiser to shift the classic mythology toward that of an alternate history, with Judgment Day as this metaphorical anchoring point in the past that we never really see, but about which there are numerous legends and myths. All we know is that some cataclysmic event took place, and the machines rose up to create a new order.
If you think about it, the only reliable information about the Future that Sarah has came from Kyle Reese, and that information is really based on only one, specific narrative.
Maybe the reality about Judgment Day is far more complicated than we initially thought. Maybe the events surrounding it are a mystery even to the survivors. Some think it was an inside job. John and Tech-Com think it was Skynet behind it, while others think mankind succumbed to its deepest vices and only Skynet can save mankind from itself.
The key here is really to submerge audiences in this bizarre, alien world of the Future War, and I think Cameron's work on Avatar has prepared him for just that.
EDIT: With this approach, John Connor's struggle will be given an entirely new dimension, not to mention everything we thought we knew about the first 2 films.

2023.05.30 19:10 Any-Ad8016 How do you overcome the fear that you’re wasting your life?
For context, I have a great job…on paper. It’s a corporate job at the top firm in my industry. I’m 22 years old, and staying at my company will guarantee me 6 figures within 10 years (I’m in the UK, where 6 figures is a lot!). Or I leave this company, go into industry and earn even more there. Great options, great company, etc etc.
However, I sit at my desk every day and switch off. The work is hard, and requires serious thought, but once the day is over it’s completely out of my mind and I can’t even remember what I’ve done.
By contrast, I have a friend who is doing a ‘job’ they love (self employed musician) and they often work 16 hours a day, by choice as they love it so much.
The easy answer is that I’m in the wrong line of work, right? But I’m not a natural creative, so surely any work I go into will be fairly mundane in comparison.

2023.05.30 19:09 BWBurnnnner Stressed
I know it’s not exactly news that stress messes with us, but I really hate it. I’ve known for a bit that a restructure is coming at work and that my job is at risk. As such, I’ve been stressed. The rumored announcement date is coming up this Friday. This last Saturday I got my schedule for next week, and it is written in a way that I can just be deleted from it and it won’t impact anything. Since then…
My wetting has gotten worse. I laid down for a nap and wet, soaking the couch because of course I wasn’t wearing a diaper- I never wet when I nap. And I’m dealing with sudden very urgent needs to pee when I didn’t even feel like I needed to go minutes prior, and of course that has led to a leak or two causing more stress while I’m trying to be distracted from the work stress.
I’ve been off the last two days, and now have to go in here in to work here in a little bit. I guess I have to pretend like I don’t know what’s coming? While also hoping I don’t pee myself. I hate this. My body, this job stress, everything. I hate all of it.

2023.05.30 19:09 ThenPen3264 Database/Table design help needed
I have a question on how to design a few tables for a database I'm building to store information about Frequent Flyer Accounts and benefits. So here are a few scenarios:
1: Airline A has frequent flyer program A. This program has four membership tier levels, blue, silver, gold and diamond. Each tier has different benefits.
2: Airline B and Airline C share frequent flyer program B. This program has 3 tiers, each with the same name and same benefits. Tiers are Blue, Gold and Platinum.
3: User accounts for each program are each a different tier i.e, Mike is Tier Gold in Program B, but also a member of Program A at Tier Silver.
4: Tier names are often used across many different programs, i.e, Blue tier is the name of the most basic tier for British Airways, Malaysia Airlines, Iceland Air, Gulf air, etc. None of these airlines share a Frequent flyer program.
5: Each Program has different benefits at each tier, but many are the same i.e, all airline programs have some form of Priority boarding.
I'm guessing there's 50 ways to build this but I'm unsure of the best way to split up all this data so I don't end up with all of it in one massive table.
So far I have an Airline Table, with basic info, a Tier table with a list of the most common Tier names and a Program Name table with all of the Airline's corresponding Frequent flyer program names.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

2023.05.30 19:09 MedusaAndSnakes Can I ask my manager what are my chances of landing the job?
I am currently in a 6-month contract that I was offered without any interviews from my manager because it is the company I already work for but was in a different position. They recently opened up a permanent position of the same role I'm currently in because my coworker got let go, so it's in the same team I'm in. It is a team of two, me and my manager, and my manager asked me if I was interested in applying and encouraged me since I told them prior to signing on I was looking for long-term. I applied and told them so.
However, I am presented with another opportunity that is also permanent and doing a very similar role at a different company. I am considering it but the position with my current company will not be conducting interviews until late next week which is when this other company makes an offer.
I want to ask my manager what my chances are of getting the permanent position since the job was advertised elsewhere by HR. My manager will be conducting the last interview though. I'm also curious what the salary and benefits are since the other company was transparent about it, but not sure if that's allowed and how I can word it to my manager. Any advice?

2023.05.30 19:09 DeeLit3 Beginner Storyteller starts making targeted homebrews over a player getting lucky
Names have been changed to maintain anonymity. Also, my bad if the formatting is off, I don't really post on Reddit all that much, but I really needed to get this particular story off my chest.
So over a year ago, I met some people in a VTM 20th Anniversary game, which eventually fizzled out due to some stuff that's not super relevant right now. But long story short, a group they had been longtime players in had recently hit the reset button on their game and a campaign that had been going on for about three years, mostly due to losing one of their two Storytellers.
I was invited to join in this new game, as one of the previous players had stepped up to be one of the Co-STs for the game, their names were Mark and John, with John being ten years older than I am and having a huge amount of RPG experience under his belt. Mark eventually started flying solo in the ST seat due to some Storyteller burnout with John eventually hopping into a player's seat. Mark was a first-timer when it came to Storytelling, and to this day you can very much see it, but we've all been there to help him along the way, since most of the players have done more than a few rounds in the ST seat.
When I joined, there were a few things they did differently to other games I have previously been a part of, mostly these were limited to a few homebrews as well as stuff to make use of the flexibility of two STs. A hallmark of their previous game was sending in emailed 'Downtime Actions' which continued in this game, but if not used, would often mean consequences. Such as being down seven blood points (RAW you need to spend one to rise every evening) if an action wasn't used to feed. Another hallmark was the Storytellers handling stuff like side scenes in different voice channels during game time. One ST could go off with a small group in-session to have a private convo and another would keep the main scene going with usually zero issue. At first, it was jarring to me because firstly I'm used to not having to write so much on the weekly with the Downtime Actions stuff, and secondly, I didn't enjoy the abnormal amount of secrecy at the table. Both of which I kinda grew to not mind, because the side scenes wouldn't really disrupt the momentum of the game, but I still do find it a tiny bit odd, cause it felt like we weren't trusted to not metagame.
However, when John stepped down, these hallmarks didn't really go away. Mark still tried to maintain the workload of two people with Downtimes between five players as well as balancing side scenes, despite us as a group wanting to move away from all the secrecy. But these would often leave the game dead in the water mid-session and disrupt the momentum of a Court assembling or a social event happening in-game since 90% of this game was very politically focussed. And Mark was still trying to juggle two scenes at once. Since it would be him chatting with one or two players and the rest of us just sitting in silence for upwards of five minutes at a time. At first, it didn't really matter too much to us as players, since we were sorta just vibing with it, and we were under the impression John would come back to the ST seat eventually.
For a while, we were very much fine with it. But often the conversations with the ST or an NPC would drag on, or he'd spend ages trying to type out what was basically an essay in DMs at the start of a session. It kinda wore on my patience quite a bit, because, for one, it felt a little distrustful of us as players and our ability to adhere to general table etiquette, such as not metagaming. I understand wanting to be secretive in VTM, because the system encourages backstabbing and whatnot. And two, it started to get very tiresome after a while because, due to timezones, I would often have to wake up at like 3am to make it on time to games, since I'm over in Australia and the group is mostly over in Europe. So I'd wake up, and sit in a session where I would basically be doing nothing but fighting off drowsiness whenever the ST left with another player. Especially when the side scenes began to grow more and more frequent and tended to grow longer. At one point, an entire action sequence played out off screen for most of us players, so we had no damn clue out of game what was happening
Along with the side scene shenanigans as well as the Downtime Action emails, we have another homebrew that makes 10s count as two successes and skill specialties grant an extra die. Eventually, stuff came to a head with this particular rule which ended up being the nail in the coffin for my run in Mark's game. Mark started growing more and more frustrated as the game went on due to us getting lucky on dice rolls, and us having pretty sizeable dice pools because we'd earned a pretty huge amount of exp over the course of the game. Most notably, his aggression went towards a player named Nikola, who was essentially dubbed a 'problem player' and was called out for being a min-maxer by Mark. His character at the time was a Nagaraja necromancer, pretending to be a Malkavian.
There were multiple DMs that were exchanged via Discord to Nikola by Mark about his character being overpowered because he'd gotten a lucky shot on a boss fight that had been set up, or Mark hadn't accounted for a power like Telepathy being used in a murder investigation. Snide comments were made out of game about Nikola using a ritual to solve every problem, which really drove me up the wall as a player. For the most part, it just didn't sit right with me hearing Nikola just get absolutely dragged behind his back by Mark. But Nikola had barely done anything to optimize dice pools, for one, he'd dumped most of his experience points into necromancy.
Mind you, most Necromancy in VTM is not only horrendously costly but nine times out of ten it had a very specific niche regarding dead stuff and ghosts, this specific instance being limited to wraiths which were incredibly hard to encounter in the wild. Nikola's character took a bunch of levels in the Vitreous Path, having a total of one ability that directly did damage to anything. A lot of the rituals he had were incredibly situational, with him even having to work with Mark to homebrew in rituals from other editions, as well as copying some things from Thaumaturgy just to make it the slightest bit viable. All of this was stuff Mark okayed and said yes to. At any point, he could've pulled the plug.
There were often times were Nikola would wake up to rants from Mark, which would either be walls of text in DM's or a mashup of voice messages and texts, and Nikola would also have to sit through the shade that was thrown in-game at the playecharacter. This was after he would stonewall Nikola in furthering a plotline, by either forcing him to roll dice for a menial task like jumping out a window, or by even introducing Mages and Fey and trying to screw his character with death magic. Nikola isn't a very confrontational person, and let a lot of this slide since this was basically Mark's second proper game of VTM.
This entire ordeal sent Mark down a path of trying to reinvent how we rolled dice, as well as nerf/alter several discipline powers despite them being costly as hell to use in the right circumstances or incredibly niche. All because one player had been getting lucky and Mark hadn't accounted for powers such as Auspex being good for investigating crime scenes and its particular power of telepathy being quite strong at getting info from mortals. One of the main homebrews I was vehemently against was solely because Mark's reasoning behind it was "you all roll too well" or something along the lines of us not botching for a good amount of sessions. In spite of the fact that several players had been on a very unlucky streak for the past few sessions. The rules we used up to that point are just the RAW ones from the corebook, with 1's cancelling out successes, and if you roll more 1's than what's considered a success, it's just a failure. A botch only occurs when you have no successes and any amount of 1's were rolled. This with our other homebrews apparently made us roll too well, with us at the time having 10's always count as two successes and specialties adding a bonus die to our roll.
Mark's homebrew was to change the RAW stuff to try and nerf the double tens homebrew rather than simply going back to RAW. His changes were as follows: If we go below zero successes with 1's it's a botch, even if successes were rolled. The severity of a botch would change depending on how many 1's were rolled. A lot of powers and dice rolls in this game have a lot of bad consequences if we botch already, with some aura reading/emotion focussed powers straight up knocking out a character for an entire scene on a botch. Which could be anywhere up to an hour of in-game time, or quite literally the next 'scene'. I honestly just didn't see the point of increasing the chances of stuff like that happening, especially when it has the potential to just flat-out stop a player from doing anything whatsoever
Many of us suggested going back to the RAW rules for specialties, as 10's only counted as two successes when a specialty was present, but this was ignored, and he started shoehorning in extra maths for other suggestions that confused the hell out of our less numbers focussed players. His other homebrews were very much specifically targeted, as he had tried to nerf Telepathy limiting it only to surface thoughts, no matter how many successes were rolled on the dice as well as changing how the entire Celerity discipline worked. Trying to add a huge amount of limitations to what could and could not be done using a celerity action. The only player that had used the Telepathy power even somewhat often was Nikola, as 90% of the players either didn't bother having Auspex or weren't high enough level to use Telepathy.
This all sort of came to a head during a sit down to discuss the homebrews, where practically nobody could agree on a suitable dice rolling mechanic, with Mark once again, barely even acknowledging my suggestion of just ditching the double 10's homebrew altogether. The energy in the voice channel was tense as hell, with Mark backpedalling on his reasoning for the botch changes. It went from him feeling like we roll too well, to him not feeling enough interesting storytelling was occurring with the current dice-rolling system. John ended up poking his head in and very specifically asked Mark why he felt the need to increase the chance of botches and ended the comment with something along the lines of "Isn't it your job to make failures interesting as an ST?". John also bringing up the fact that we all usually tend to roll for things our characters are good at. Everyone has a niche and to an extent, our characters are built to fill that niche.
Most of that discussion went in one ear and out the other because it was a lot of arguing and going in circles, and in the end, we stuck a pin in the dice rolling system because no one agreed. And i was too exhausted to pay attention because I'd only gotten back home from work an hour or so before the discussion started. This took about three hours to resolve, by which time it was 5am for me and I was incredibly mentally exhausted listening to grown adults being unable to settle on rules for a plethora of their own reasons.
A few days after, I left the game, sending a message to the ST that getting up early/staying up late after work was way too exhausting to do every week when we basically do nothing in game, and I didn't like that a lot of the homebrews felt targeted and very adversarial towards us as players. I reminded Mark that it wasn't anything personal. But his response was mostly sweet, but he tried to shift the blame onto Nikola who allegedly expressed a need for these changes and didn't even bother to acknowledge the fact that I mentioned how I was feeling about the game itself. Mark essentially tried to make an adjustment and re-invent how VTM dice rolling works, which honestly wasn't really called for by anyone but him, and then tried to pawn it off and make it another player's fault.
I'm kinda sad this ended like it did, mostly because I did enjoy vibing with the players, and I really loved my character. I consider many of the people at the table pretty close friends, and I feel like my thoughts and feelings may have burned some bridges. But the game was essentially taking a nose dive, and I didn't want to waste my early mornings/late nights feeling like we were basically doing nothing when I could be getting some much needed sleep.

So over a year ago, I met some people in a VTM 20th Anniversary game, which eventually fizzled out due to some stuff that's not super relevant right now. But long story short, a group they had been longtime players in had recently hit the reset button on their game and a campaign that had been going on for about three years, mostly due to losing one of their two Storytellers.
I was invited to join in this new game, as one of the previous players had stepped up to be one of the Co-STs for the game, their names were Mark and John, with John being ten years older than I am and having a huge amount of RPG experience under his belt. Mark eventually started flying solo in the ST seat due to some Storyteller burnout with John eventually hopping into a player's seat. Mark was a first-timer when it came to Storytelling, and to this day you can very much see it, but we've all been there to help him along the way, since most of the players have done more than a few rounds in the ST seat.
When I joined, there were a few things they did differently to other games I have previously been a part of, mostly these were limited to a few homebrews as well as stuff to make use of the flexibility of two STs. A hallmark of their previous game was sending in emailed 'Downtime Actions' which continued in this game, but if not used, would often mean consequences. Such as being down seven blood points (RAW you need to spend one to rise every evening) if an action wasn't used to feed. Another hallmark was the Storytellers handling stuff like side scenes in different voice channels during game time. One ST could go off with a small group in-session to have a private convo and another would keep the main scene going with usually zero issue. At first, it was jarring to me because firstly I'm used to not having to write so much on the weekly with the Downtime Actions stuff, and secondly, I didn't enjoy the abnormal amount of secrecy at the table. Both of which I kinda grew to not mind, because the side scenes wouldn't really disrupt the momentum of the game, but I still do find it a tiny bit odd, cause it felt like we weren't trusted to not metagame.
However, when John stepped down, these hallmarks didn't really go away. Mark still tried to maintain the workload of two people with Downtimes between five players as well as balancing side scenes, despite us as a group wanting to move away from all the secrecy. But these would often leave the game dead in the water mid-session and disrupt the momentum of a Court assembling or a social event happening in-game since 90% of this game was very politically focussed. And Mark was still trying to juggle two scenes at once. Since it would be him chatting with one or two players and the rest of us just sitting in silence for upwards of five minutes at a time. At first, it didn't really matter too much to us as players, since we were sorta just vibing with it, and we were under the impression John would come back to the ST seat eventually.
For a while, we were very much fine with it. But often the conversations with the ST or an NPC would drag on, or he'd spend ages trying to type out what was basically an essay in DMs at the start of a session. It kinda wore on my patience quite a bit, because, for one, it felt a little distrustful of us as players and our ability to adhere to general table etiquette, such as not metagaming. I understand wanting to be secretive in VTM, because the system encourages backstabbing and whatnot. And two, it started to get very tiresome after a while because, due to timezones, I would often have to wake up at like 3am to make it on time to games, since I'm over in Australia and the group is mostly over in Europe.

2023.05.30 19:09 FailMasterFloss Moving away from MN
Like the title says I am moving away from Minnesota for a job but I get to choose between two states. Wondering what your better fishing state recommendation would be. I haven't been to either state before.
Either Southern Arkansas (by Louisiana boarder) or Southern New York (by Pennsylvania boarder)
I like fishing for Northern Pike, Walleye, and small mouth here in MN. I have never caught a trout before

2023.05.30 19:08 Keemsburger Genuine Question. Am I In The Wrong For Being A Coward?
(Note: I know this talks moreso about a specific park, but I still feel that it’s relevant.) I’m new to this sub, so hey! Anyways, Sometimes Me and my mom go to King’s Island and usually stay at the accompanying Great Wolf Lodge Resort. King’s Island, whenever I go, is always a really fun time. Highly Recommended. But that’s not the point. I grew up with my mom taking me there. however, from a very young age, I noticed that on some drops, (Usually from ones that are high enough) It gives this weird ticklish feeling in my… well… Lower regions (You know what I mean). To me, I don’t like this at all. To be fair, on stuff like The Italian Job (I know it’s now called Backlot Stunt Coaster but we’ve been there since the change, so we still call it that), it’s not too bad, because it’s done in moderation and doesn’t have any huge drops that set this off. However, my mom doesn’t seem to have this issue, yet I do, which has caused some discourse since there are plenty of other coasters and stuff I haven’t tried out because of this problem, which can sometimes make my mom feel like she’s wasting her money when there’s so much more. For me, that’s a good reason, because when i’ve BEEN on some of these things (Like the Racer, Mystic Timbers, Space Mountain, or the Newly opened Guardians Of The Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind), after the experience, I feel absolutely traumatized and violated and makes me even more hesitant to try new things. Am I in the wrong, or?
