Messed up by withdrawing

I withdrew from one of my summer classes. I did the thing the school told me to do which was wait until I could speak with my advisor and student central before making that decision.

Student central took several days to respond and my I had made an appointment with my advisor previously so I just waited. BAD VERY BAD NO GOOD MISTAKE.

I missed the 50% cut off for a refund into a 70% cut off and fucked myself into needing to pay $900. I don’t have an ounce of that money. I don’t know if this was the right place to ask this, but pertaining to loans and things of that nature, is there a way I can slowly pay it off? Who should I talk to about this and reach out to? I can pay it off technically but I would half to reach into my dad’s life insurance, which I’m really trying to save exclusively for bills and emergencies.

Villa of the Papyri

Posting here because nobody else seems to be excited about the prospect of potentially finding more information on Alexander in the villa.

There’s the scroll given to Napoleon about the Diadochi wars that hopefully will be fully read and released soon.

I wonder about the chances of there being something similar among the many scrolls they currently have, and the ones that (might) be further into the complex. The contents of many of the read scrolls are about philosophy and stoicism, but Alexander was well Alexander. He could very well be mentioned within multiple of those texts. (Silently hoping there’s another source or even more silently hoping there’s a lost primary source somewhere in there and once they are deciphered it won’t take a decade to release them to the public)

Might be getting fired for helping a friend

Title is a little misleading I guess, but this morning my friend called me in tears asking if I could come pick her up. It doesn’t involve me so I won’t say what, but I said yes even though I had work that morning.

Long story short I couldn’t call them I was too busy trying not to crash in an unfamiliar city, and when I stopped and took her home I called them back. I said I could be there in like an hour and the manager was like “you should be fine if you can come in and if you can give a good reason, but no promises.”

I don’t have a good reason, and honestly I’m not going to go in there and tell random strangers what just happened to my friend and why I needed to be there so soon. It’s a fast food job so it isn’t like I’m losing much if I get fired but I don’t have another job lined up. I’ve only been working there a month and I’ve already had to call out once because I had horrible food poisoning like a week in. Im exhausted and honestly just don’t want to go in, but my sister would be so disappointed in me. I’m I cooked?

Edit: Yeah no I quit. Fuck that job. New question, how to spin this to my friend so she doesn’t feel bad for it? I feel like if I told her I just quit she’d still feel bad.

Y’all please just go inside

Order inside at the cash register and wait the 10 minutes it takes us to get you your food in a nice, well conditioned, clean place.

You don’t want to be outside. I certainly don’t want to be outside giving you your food in your car that is currently radiating with all the concentrated heat of 10,000 nuclear bombs and doing this repeatedly for 8 hours. It’s past 100 outside and I’m in black pants and leather shoes. Have mercy. You’re at least in shorts.

It’s only for a few days, I won’t even remember your face at the cash register. I’ll forget it in a minute, just go insideeeee bro they don’t give me breaks or water.

Edit: Nevermind y’all do what you want I quit today

Cats need food and my driveway is flooded

That’s pretty much it. The creek beside it has also completely flooded and my little Cadillac wasn’t made for that. The waters probably nearly two feet deep at the lowest portion.

I don’t have any chicken or rice. I have a singular egg and dry dog food and puppy food. I knew we were going to get bad rain but my driveway never floods like this and it’s only going to get worse as it’s going to rain all night and morning. My neighbors don’t have cats, so I can’t ask them.

Thank you

Withdrawing from summer class

I’m sorry if this isn’t the right flair.

I want to withdrawal from one of my summer classes, planned to do so in the first week but wanted to speak with my advisor, or student center, or the financial aid center before withdrawing, but none of them have responded to my emails. I tried to call, left a voicemail, also no response. I’m about to go into the third week and need to withdrawal soon and it’s clear I’m not going to get any response from them.

My concern is how it will affect my financial aid?? I have a Pell grant and the Barren or something grant.

Weird shifting attempt last night??

I got home from work exhausted and thought I might as well went to take a nap. I was laying down for maybe 10 or so minutes, barely affirming or visualizing, when it was like in the blink of an eye I got this rush. It wasn’t like a floaty feeling but it kind of was where I completely lost all connection to my body in a second, for a second before my body also felt vaguely different even though I couldn’t quite feel it yet.

It got really bright during this and then my heartbeat started pounding and I was taken out of it within just a few seconds because I had to calm myself.

Interesting experience, don’t know what it was. Has anyone else had something similar?

What bit me

I have five of these bumps on my legs. They’re sort of itchy but it isn’t bad. This morning they were lighter in color. I haven’t gotten any more of them.

u/juxxsxx — 22 days ago

I woke up with these bumps on me. I’m a total hypochondriac, please help

There’s five in total and they’re on and off itchy. You can’t see it well in the first photo but they’re both raised and have my normal skin raised around them circling each. They also kind of hurt—but honestly that might just be me now making something up out of nothing. Please help.

u/juxxsxx — 23 days ago

bumps that appeared on me this morning

I’m a hypochondriac, so please answer

they’re off and on itchy, but it isn’t that bad. You can’t really see it in the photos, but they’re all raised and my normal skin around them is also sort of raised in a circle.

Sorry for the bad photos but they’re at really awkward angles. First one is behind my calf, second one is on my inner thigh, and third one is behind my other calf. There’s another that I couldn’t really get a photo of because it’s on the back of my thigh. Sorry for the hair too but I didn’t want to shave around it.

Weird shifting symptoms and how to get rid of them

I recently tried to shift to my latest DR and hollyyyyyy fuck. I affirmed consistently for maybe around 30 minutes until my heartbeat got so hard but I tried to ignore it but then my eyelids (maybe my eyes?) started to like violently twitch. It was so cool that I had to pull myself out of it. I literally couldn’t feel my body aside from my heart beat and the twitching which scared me enough into feeling the rest of my body. This is the one thing that pulls me back from shifting sometimes, my adrenaline spikes and I can’t get it to shut down.

Has anyone else had these symptoms?

Fear of the floor being taken out from underneath you

For context, I remember when I was 14, shortly before my mom’s death, I had gotten involved with some new friends, I was planning on going to a new school, etc. Out of nowhere I wake up to her screaming, and a few hours later that was it.

Just a few months ago my dad died, also out of the blue. He always had heart problems and anger issues, which aren’t a good combination, and it wasn’t exactly a shock itself that it was a heart attack that did it, but it happened out of nowhere. One second I was talking to him, the next he was unconscious. Ironically, it also happened on my birthday.

It feels like when things get good for me, I always expect something bad to happen immediately after. I just got a job, which I desperately need, and I’m sitting here terrified that something bad is going to happen. I’m going to die, my dog is going to die, etc.

I can’t make it go away. It isn’t like the fear is completely unfounded either, it’s just pattern recognition at this point, even if there is no way to know the future, my brain still has its past experience to point out when things might change. I’m just scared, and I don’t have the money to go to a psychiatrist to get any meds, but I don’t know how to change it either. My panic attacks have restarted. I’m tired of pretending like I’m fine, but nobody has any money to help, and I don’t want to bother people.

I’m worried all the time, so I’m here for advice on how to overcome it. I’m sorry if this read like I’m throwing myself a pity party, but I wanted anyone giving advice to know the condensed story so they could give better advice.

Found in my yard getting pecked at by a bird [Louisville, KY]

It got away by slithering away to my neighbors. I don’t think the little bird would’ve been big enough to kill it anyway.

It’s the only snake I’ve saw here other than a rattlesnake years ago. I’m glad because I have a mice problem. Pls come back.

Controversial opinions?

Mine is that Keith should’ve never met his mother. It was such a horrible decision, especially at that point with his character. He’s an orphan, that’s an essential part of his character - he wants a place to belong but he can’t find it.

Throwing his mother into the mix nearly ruined his entire character arc up until that point and took a chunk out of the heart of the show which is it’s found family.

should I leave my interview?

I’ve been sitting in the dining room for an hour.

edit: I left after talking to a couple sat in the booth beside me. They were so nice and told me that I should leave so I just ended up leaving. They also gave me a ton of job recommendations.

transphobia isn’t empowering to women

I’m very tired of the new transphobia I’ve seen in many online feminist spaces. It’s so tiring seeing women put down trans women with unknowingly internalized misogynistic and often homophobic views.

I think a lot of the transphobia comes from believing that trans women are making a mockery of women, or have some gross fixation on women. These same accusations are never leveed against trans men.

Why? Trans women get the brunt of transphobia across the board, but trans men are almost always left alone. I believe it’s mainly because of woman’s internal belief that femininity is beneath men and similarly, masculinity. A trans woman is not only making a mockery of woman, she is making a mockery of herself. While a trans man is simply a woman playing dress up. It isn’t taken nearly as seriously. It’s fine for a woman to do “womanly” things, because she’s a woman, forever beneath men and in her own box.

It’s infuriating and I’m not even trans. I can’t imagine how trans people must feel, especially now when everyone seems against them, even in feminist spaces both are too commonly excluded from.

Edit: Many people here are completely (probably intentionally) completely misunderstanding what I am saying in this post. Next to nobody actually acknowledges what I said, and instead brings up so many other things I didn’t even allude to. Im going to take down the post in a bit because I imagine many of the trans woman here don’t feel comfortable with some of these comments, and a lot of them just want to be left alone.

For people who might not understand my post, let me put in this way.

The jester can mock the king and the other aristocrats, the jester can mock himself. The jester can wear outrageous clothing, the jester can put on obscene makeup. All of these things are fine, because he’s just the jester.

The king, however, could never play the jester. If he puts on the fool’s costume and wanders the court mocking himself and other aristocrats, something has gone wrong. It is not amusing but degrading, even unsettling. He is now weak, mad, or perverse.

Men in spaces that talk about their experiences with toxic masculinity and the patriarchy, never mention trans men. They don’t see anything inherently weak about a “woman trying to be a man”. But conversations about trans women in online feminist spaces are always present, because unfortunately in a lot of their minds, to be a woman is to be a constant victim. To be the jester.

Additionally, putting down womanhood to simply your biological sex, is exactly what the patriarchy does and wants. You were born with these bits, therefore you must do and think xyb. Trans people are a direct threat to this way of thinking, by showing that they can exist outside of the biological sex they were at birth, and experience life outside of it.

The trans movement and feminist movement are deeply intertwined because at their core they want the same things. To be more than just what you are deemed to be at birth.

Excluding trans people from the conversation does nothing but harm the movement in the end by pulling us back to the foundation that the patriarchy was laid on and refusing to let us move forward without the vagina means x way of thinking.

nobody will hire me and I have $100 dollars in my bank account

Background is that I’m in college, going into my second year. My dad died earlier this year and I’ve been using the money he had in his bank account to pay the bills.

Trying to get the life insurance money has been awful, and they’ve basically ghosted me multiple times trying to get it. I was hung up on so many fucking times and I’ve had to send two mail things to them and still no response. My family is stingy and won’t give me any money, mainly because “I don’t have a job.” But even Walmart didn’t response to me.

I literally applied to a fucking ai trainer job just now which the ethics of me doing that, unable to get a job partly due to the horrible job market which is partly due to AI, and in university, certainly isn’t good. I feel horrible for even applying.

I worked as a Tech at a mental hospital for a few months and that’s the only job experience I have. I quit because it was an unsafe environment and I was sexually assaulted multiple times with absolutely no care from the bosses or my coworkers. I stopped working there a few months ago and have applied literally everywhere since.

I need a job. I can’t even afford to get myself food or pay for gas. Please help with advice on how to get these places to respond and how I could get a job soon.

Sorry for the kind of sob story but Im desperate and felt like it explained why.??

Theo Raeken body count

No not that kind of body count.

I’m rewatching, and I got to the moment where Theo says that Stiles had more blood on his hands than any of them. Which got me wondering how many people Theo’s killed prior to coming to Beacon Hills.

Did void stiles even really kill that many people??

I always thought Theo went around doing tasks for the Dread Doctors, which probably meant going and getting test subjects for them. Maybe Theo doesn’t count those deaths as belonging to him. I imagine even without taking that into consideration it has to be high. At least in the 30s. Take into account how many people he handed over to the Dread Doctors and it might be hundreds.

I wonder if he didn’t really interact with supernatural creatures much other than to kill them, since it seems like they were focused on turning humans into supernatural creatures. It would be interesting if the McCall pack was the only pack he’d really heavily interacted with.

I hate that they left so many questions unanswered with Theo because he’s such an interesting character. At the same time I’m grateful because you can kind of come up with whatever you want.

dog ate rabbit carcass

She’s a German shepherd, 7 years old, spayed and roughly 70lbs. Yesterday around 9-10pm she killed a rabbit in our yard. She didn’t eat it then and I let her back inside after a few minutes.

Since it was late and I was tired, I just told myself that in the morning I’d go out and get it before I let her out. I did that about an hour ago, and threw it over the fence and let her out. Lo and behold, I go check on her after my shower and she broke the fence to get it and ate all of it.

She’s eaten rabbits before, there’s not much I can do about them coming into my yard. If she’s ever eaten a rabbit or mole or something similar that’s been dead for 9 hours, I never knew. I believe she’s up to date on all her shots.

I’m concerned because of how long it had been dead for.

I’m also extremely broke. Like 300 dollars in my bank account broke. I’m debating if I should just schedule an appointment to go and get any shots she might need.
