I listen to a lot of jazz and classical. Currently I am just doing the flat EQ settings but I am wondering if there is something better that people are doing. I don't really like the jazz and classical preset eq settings since I feel like a lot of the mid is hidden.
I go to a reformed church, I've been a member for about a year. What initially started out well has with some slight issues with others has reached a tipping point.
Example, there is a church member who initially started talking to me but then abruptly stopped talking to me for whatever reason, I also noticed he would sometimes be rude when interacting with me. Same with a few other members.
There are 2 deacons and 2 elders. I have a decent relationship with one of the elders despite some ups and downs, the other elders and deacons I have rarely gotten the chance to speak with and again with some rude behavior, one of them it feels like they try and avoid me.
It's gotten to a point where I feel anger welling up inside of me as to why I am being treated like this especially by officers of the church. My thought process is I am in a somewhat rural area in America and I am not caucasian/hispanic or American while 95% of the church I go to is very right wing caucasian the other 5% is hispanic. I believe I am being treated with partiality. I am probably the first non-caucasian/hispanic non american member they have had in a while.
I feel the need now to reach out directly to people that have wronged me to address it for the sake of my own sanity and to obey the Lord where he says if you have a grievance with a brother to address it with them directly.
I do accept that people will doubt this post and think I am the problem however I have done what I could to build bridges with church members, I have tried to invite people over to my home on weeknds for coffee, I have tried to build an online chat group where members can reach out to each other about social events. I have tried to go to members social events and things when they are inviting people. Again, what started off well has slowly went downward because I believe these cultural/ethnic differences were always there boiling at the surface especially with certain people that I feel the need to address directly at this point.
Appreciate prayers and insight moving forward.

Daily Mail Sport can reveal that Rodri is set to undergo surgery on a mystery injury after Spain’s participation at the World Cup and will miss the start of the season.
It’s understood that rehabilitation will not be a long process but the news is hardly ideal for somebody who has struggled to maintain his fitness since his ACL injury almost two years ago.
Rodri will go under the knife whenever his World Cup is over, with Spain set to face Austria in the round of 32 on Thursday. City declined to comment.
The 30-year-old still has a contract offer on the table from City, although talks are not thought to be active as he enters the final 12 months of his contract. If the new deal remains unsigned on January 1, he will be able to sign a pre-contract agreement with overseas clubs to join them for free next summer. The 2024 Ballon d'Or winner has had repeated interest from Real Madrid.
I work in a job where I see all kinds of people. One of the types of people I see are trans people. They come to me requesting information and referrals to people who can provide them with gender affirming hormone therapy. I obviously don't agree with transgenderism at all so I feel conflicted about it. If I dont give the referral I will get fired from my job. Not sure what to do because I don't want to participate in this process.
Hello,
My mother lives in a 6 bedroom house, 3 on first floor and 3 no 2nd. She is nearing retirement age and plans on renting out the bottom half of the house. I was just wondering how would you go about splitting the electrical bill accurately? Would you get the 1st floor of house to have its own meter which tenants pay for or is there another way of doing it? Also, are you able to enforce certain house rules like no overnight guests, no playing music through loudspeakers, etc?
Another question I had was 2 of the bedrooms downstairs we plan on doing an airbnb with the larger bedroom renting out to long term tenants, any unforseen issues with that?
Also appreciate any further advise tips you have for renting out rooms in your house. Thanks
I am 2nd generation immigrant in North America, my parents are from a developing country. I am highly interested in going back to my parents country at some point and getting involved in either politics or community development and I understand that having a strong economics foundation is very important.
I am interested in learning about economics especially development economics. I have gotten ahold of free ebooks on economics and books about countries like Signapore and S. Korea who underwent rapid change and seeing if that can also be implemented.
My questions are:
What resources and economic books do you recommend for someone who is interested in development economics and making a positive social impact in a developing nations ?
Is it actually possible to self study and develop a solid enough knowledge base to be effective or do I need a degree of some sort?
