Best coffee shop near Fresh Meadows/East Flushing area!
Hi everyone!
My husband and I have a tradition that whenever he travels for work he gets me coffee beans because I am a huge coffee lover! This time he will be in Fresh Meadows/East Flushing area in NY! So, can you all suggest some really really EXCELLENT coffee places to get beans from?
Pakistani viewers have GOLDFISH memory when it comes to male Pakistani actors.
I see that whenever a female actor does something like Hania crying over camera after breakup, Alizeh’s antics or Saheefa’s (not defending any one of them) they are dragged years after years in every argument or discussion as a reminder. However, when it comes to men like Mohsin Abbas Haider, Freezer aka Feroze Khan I see everyone enjoying, praising their dramas. Even though what they did is nowhere near comparable to what we drag female actors for.
Feroze Khan and Mohsin Abbas Haider are both KNOWN domestic abusers who violently beat and abuse their wives. Yet we’re praising their dramas, their dramas are getting millions of views. And dont give me the 💩 that we’re watching for story or strong female lead. Thats utter bakwas. The leads would also stop working with them if the dramas would stop getting views. If there would be active rejection to watching anything that includes these two or any other harasser or abusers.
We cry over daily harassment, abuse and violence against women which are real stories in society but we do not understand that giving platform to these men does give strength to other men as well.
How do you all (this is in third person for people who do) justify watching anything that includes these two or any other harasser?
ULPT exposing abusive ex employer.
My employer from my last job abused the fuck out of me. Shouted, threatened and even fired me and then lied to Govt assistance program that I resigned so I don’t get any assistance money. She has employees becoming her fake witnesses and its been 5 months and I am in debt and jobless.
Why am I feeling guilty about this? I need help!
I had a lot of things happening in my life and I turned more towards zikr and praying more. I was already praying 5 times a day but I do ruqyah, ziqr and astaghfar too. However since I started in past few weeks I dont feel like having s*x with my husband I avoid it and if he initiates I politely decline and he is a gentleman and is A-okay with it. The thoughts in my mind are I am doing something wrong or I shouldn’t be doing this because what if my zikr and prayer dont get answered? Like there is shame attached to it in my head. I never used to get these thoughts and now I do and its really bothering me. Like I cant have s*c even if I really want to. I am sharing here to get some help, comforting words something that would make me get back to my normal marital life?
Someone please explain me and help me understand that its all in my head?

Struggling a lot in interviews need some advice
I have been unemployed for 5 months now. My resume is really good (I know because I am getting interviews) I have a very strong portfolio and past employer relationships but my issue is I have severe interview anxiety to a level that I stutter and unable to make sentences properly and I understand that from a hiring manager’s perspective I sound like someone who isn’t confident but I am great at my job I have results to show. I have tried practicing in mirror, with friends, with ex supervisor and I do good with them but the minute I am in front of an interviewer on screen I mess up. Is there anything that I should do would help? Should I ask talent team beforehand for accommodation? I dont know any other groups to post this I am a Toronto resident and searching for jobs in Toronto but if anyone could help or guide me. I would be very grateful. I am in dire need of a job.
Sharing something about my marriage I was holding onto for the longest.
My husband and I got married in 2019 and post pandemic our relationship got worst. We would fight on trivial things like dishes, cooking, work hours, families etc etc. we tried a lot to work out but nothing was helping.
In summers of 2023 we had enough and we were emotionally and mentally checked out from each other. We decided we should take a break and started working on our separate accommodations and put our current house which was on mortgage to rent until we decide what to do. We were invited to a party and we were great at masking so none of our friends knew what we were going through so in middle of all that we decided we will go to the part in a civil manner. When we came back from the party I started nagging on how my husband never gets social cues on when its time to leave and the argument escalated really bad on which I ended up saying “this is what all these years felt with you walking on eggshells” and he said “really? To me it feels like I am playing a game of minesweeper.” And for God knows what reason we looked at each other and started laughing and he said “damn we’re getting old minesweeper doesn’t even exist now” and in that very moment we just calmed down sat down and talked about going for couples therapy we agreed and to this day we keep laughing about it. We have a minesweeper wall art in our lounge wall. Our relationship took a turn, we both put in a lot of work and planning a child now.
What happens if I have applied for OSAP and I get bursary/scholarship as well?
Hello everyone,
I got admission in a college and applied for OSAP right away. I just have to submit disability verification which I will do tomorrow. However, I have a question I am planning to apply to my school’s bursary or scholarship as well registration for which opens next month. If I end up getting scholarship or bursary how would it work with OSAP? I know I will have to inform OSAP and update my information. But will they reduce the part of the loans? The idea is to graduate with as less of loans as possible. Any help would be appreciated. I tried googling before asking here and got very confusing responses. I dont want to trick or fraud anything so just wanted to be sure beforehand. Thank you so much in advance.
Need help from fellow readers
I started reading the series last year around this time then my health and other life stuff happened and I gave up on reading. I read Fourth Wing completely, started Iron Flame and read it till the point of Imbuing and Blood Key (as far as I remember) I want to restart but I am insure where do I restart from? Should I start Iron Flame from the beginning? From another point in the middle that would refresh things from me? Any help would be really helpful and appreciated. Just trying to track back to my books and life I missed on.
Aseptic meningitis as IVIG reaction is the worst to happen to human body!
I am so tired an exhausted - I was diagnosed with MMN and started on IVIG my first treatment was stopped midway as I got hives and migraine during the treatment. For my next treatment- my neurologist prescribed Prednisone and antihistamine before treatment. I took that and hydration was 110% followed. I kept drinking electrolytes and 2.5ltrs of water the day of.
Next day I woke up with severe migraine and I thought its just a migraine and took a gram of Tylenol and lied down but within 30 mins my head felt like its going to split. I couldn’t move my neck or my shoulders. The more I tried, the more piercing the pain got. I started getting bad shivers and started throwing up all over because I couldn’t get up. My partner call 911 and paramedics arrived, strapped, gave anti nausea and some pain meds. When I reached hospital they admitted, did CT, MRI, some other tests and pronounced aseptic meningitis I was admitted in hospital for 2 days and nothing would subside the pain but opioids.
They sent me home and its been a week that I am still feeling a little zonked out. I am mot taking morphine anymore but I feel like my head and nexk are like extra attachments on my shoulders and will fall off anytime.
Its the worst pain ever and it has made me paranoid for life
Went too honest in the interview but got to the final round
NOTE: I AM NOT SUGGESTING YOU TO DO THIS!
I had a second interview with a company and there was HM, HR and Team Lead. The whole interview went smooth and great and then HR asked we have very less turnover but we see that you were only 5 months in your last position and you’re already looking for a new job. To which I politely said that I was a part of a departmental layoff. And she said how can you prove that you will remain dedicated to us? I have no idea at this point what made me lose it completely maybe its being unemployed for a while and I said well if we are to talk about dedication I closed a client account with more than expected budget for our agency while I was actively miscarrying. And they went silent and team lead who was a guy said we are very sorry for your loss and then the interview went on with a bit more technical questions. And they invited me for final round before finishing up.
So, Idk if my lashing out in honesty was really worth it.

reddit.comAITAH for not being present as much for my “closest” friends anymore because they always have something going on when its about me.
I (30F) moved to anew country 5 years ago with my husband. Made a solid group of friends and my nature is of a giver. In multiple stances I have cancelled very important things in my life to be present for this group of friends. My husband and I very close to this particular couple in the group. I would babysit their child when they go for vacation for a couple of weeks, be the first one to plan massive birthdays, be there is they are sick etc etc.
I was recently diagnosed with an autoimmune condition and need chemo for it. It happens twice a week for me. However, the same friend’s group who I am there for even 4am in the morning never ask about it. Never cater to the meetups no matter how tired or sick I am. Recently during one of my chemo my husband has to travel for work. He tried to cancel but he couldn’t because its mandatory and he is the only one earning I can’t work so he didn’t push much. I asked the wife (from the couple I mentioned earlier) and she said she wont be able to do it and I blurted why? To which she said she already committed to a lunch plan. I said okay. I stopped messaging them, stopped going to their place frequently and no one seem to care?? AITAH to want to cut this group completely?
UNPOPULAR OPINION - CALLIE WAS THE REAL ASSHOLE!
Thats it. Thats the post.
I commented on Saheefa Jabbar’s dress post to let women be and people are leaving me messages about it? Like are you all in right mind frame? I have been on Reddit for so long in multiple subs never in my life people have bombarded inbox. This goes to show how small minded people are that you cannot see women in short dresses or having an opinion about it.
I was going through hiring process with a company. Stage 1 was video call with HR, stage 2 was video call with Hiring manager, stage 3 was an assignment which I completed and received a rejection email with zero feedback. I buckled up and professionally thanked them and asked for the feedback. Very next day they give me a call and tell me it was a mistake and ask me if I am still available and I was available so I said yes and they invited me for a final panel interview. The panel interview went really well, the hiring manager kept complimenting throughout the interview and I received the literally SAME rejection email like the previous rejection email today. With zero feedback! Who does that after so much back and forth and all these states? I am upset at being rejected but more than that I am angry at the fact how employers get away with ChatGPT coded rejections??!!
I dont understand the hate Hania Aamir gets on this sub. Like I understand people think she is a clout chaser, attention seeking B etc etc etc. but here is a thing she knows the social media game very well. Her fan following is very respectful unlike Bilal’s, Ali Rehman’s or other celebs. You want to talk about her wearing mask at Asim’s concert but you also want to hate on her lol.
I am not her fan or anything. The only drama I have ever watched of hers is KMKT and we really need to stop hating for the sake of it. Like even when Mahnoor Rahim outed the guy instead of calling the guy out people were bashing Hania for being friends with him??!!! Like why is it easier for us to hate? You have so many PTV celebs who genuinely deserve this bashing like Danish Taimoor, Feroze Khan, Hira Mani yet we are stuck on Hania Aamir.
