So as the title suggests, I lived with an awful (now ex) roommate. This happened back in 2020. I moved out of a living situation where a caregiver was allowing a small dog to attack my cat. I moved out fast for her safety, unknowingly into an even worse situation. In my state the government helps home homeless people through a program, and in comes Sherry (fake name for privacy's sake). Sherry is an alcoholic with extreme IBS and as you probably guessed, came off the streets. It was my first time moving out on my own.
I noticed pretty early on that Sherry was a slob, but this was to be expected as she didn't really have experience cleaning a home. The issues started when I woke up late at night and used the bathroom, when I sat down and felt the floor and seat was wet. I turn the lights on and, to my horror, it was like a brown murder scene. Human feces spread on the toilet seat, the floor, the walls next to the toilet - it was like a diarrhea bomb went off. I didn't even know that was possible. I inform my landlord, who only believed me with picture evidence (which should have been a huge red flag at the time, but I was still a teenager.). I confronted her the next day and she explained that she has ibs, that she can't help it - I said I understand you have a condition, but if you make a mess it has to be cleaned.
She mopped the floor, and I had to take her back into the bathroom and instruct her to clean the walls and the toilet seat where the stains remained. I thought all was well, fast forward 2 weeks. Both of us and my cat are experiencing dry throat, intense stomach aches, migraines, and dizziness. I noticed that when I walked on the bathroom floor my feet were burning. I asked Sherry if she also felt sick, she said yes and didn't know why. it clicked a day later. I asked what she cleaned the bathroom floor with. She says, "bleach." I said, "how much water did you dilute it with?" Silence. I asked again and she said "I just used bleach." I said "straight bleach??" She started yelling and I shut myself in my room, furious. I re-mopped the floor twice before the symptoms disappeared. My cat was living in my one bedroom at the time and so she had the most exposure, unable to go anywhere that could get away from the scent of bleach fuming into my room from under the door.
This incident made me incredibly angry with Sherry but I let it go, since she was brought into the house using a government program, it was hard to kick her out for the landlord. It sucked because she'd spend all her money drinking herself stupid, which made her IBS that much worse. Every incident was documented and shared with him. It is important to know he gave us access to the upstairs bathroom if we needed it.
Cut to a few months later, I'm cleaning the kitchen and mopping. I wear headphones while I cleaned to make it easier to focus, and I at this point have kept my room locked since I found Sherry opening my door without knocking and suspected she was snooping through my stuff. The apartment has a kitchen door identical to and right next to my bedroom door. I lock my door and get to mopping. Suddenly the kitchen door is being banged on and Sherry is SCREAMING. Well, I had unknowingly locked the kitchen door instead of my own. She was howling, banging, and threatening to kill me, along with calling me slurs i won't repeat. I apologized through the door but was honestly scared she'd attack me outright. I waited for her to walk away, unlocked the door, and locked myself in my room. I call the landlord, tell him what's happening and he says that she's just kidding, she won't do anything she's just an old woman. I tell him she's threatening to kill me and he brushes me off. It isn't until she calls him and threatens to kill me to HIM that he even comes over to see what's going on.
Suddenly the banging continues, and I mean walls are shaking she's hitting the door so hard. I recorded this and said I'd just unlocked the door. She screams "yea and I locked it back so landlord could see what you did, stupid b!! You made me shit myself!" Landlord gets there and doesn't believe me until I make him watch the video. He tells her she just could have gone upstairs. I tell him he needs to believe me when I say something is going on that's serious, I mean it.
She ends up finally getting kicked out, and someone even worse moved in before I gtfo of there. Anyway..thought I'd share it here. 😅

Thnx have a nice day 🫡

Okay, so long story short, my Nan has dementia and doesn't have much longer to live, she's barely eating and drinking and her health is constantly declining. She is moving down to a care home near where I live since she lives 4 hours away currently. Also, my sister has been evicted from her house because her Landlord doesn't want to fix any of the ongoing problems in the house she has been renting, so she is stuck at my other sister's house, which is a 2 bedroom house, that now needs to hold 7 people. My sister and my mother are extremely stressed, and so am I. I have exams as well, I've already done a few but I have more coming up and I just feel extremely stressed with everything.
Now, onto my girlfriend. She's amazing, she honestly makes me feel really happy, but sometimes I don't know if I'm fit for a relationship right now, I don't know what to do. She is going through her own problems and I really want to be there for her, but at the same time, my mental health really isn't good right now. I did try breaking up with her before, as I wanted to focus on myself, but I ended up feeling really bad about it, and we're back together. I told her if my mental health got worse I may need to consider a break up but I really don't have the heart to do it. She's such a lovely person and she's going through a lot right now. I just can't bring myself to break up with her. Seeing her upset in school would destroy me and I know it.
I don't know what to do. I don't think I'm fit for a relationship, we don't see each other much now, and I constantly worry about the fact that I'm doing something wrong. I'm taking a lot of time to talk to my friends and do things alone that I really enjoy, as it takes my mind off of things, whilst also spending a lot of time with my mother, and other members of my family, because we are all going through a tough time. I love my girlfriend but I am so stuck. I want to be there for her but at the same time I feel as if I need to focus on me. I don't know if I'm being selfish, or an awful boyfriend, but I just feel stressed and confused, hence why I turned to reddit.
I apologise for such a long piece of writing, I hope everyone is having a lovely day.
tl;dr - I am going through a lot of things with my family, and don't know if I should break up with my girlfriend or not so that I can focus on myself.

it’s been a while since I’ve posted in this sub Reddit, I have a marriage that has some issues in it but reasons why I haven’t chosen to walk away, but there’s an a lot of tension in our house and a lot of it seems to surround our special needs son and his outbursts but obviously a lot of it is obviously between me and my wife and a lot of negativity, dead bedroom issues, my wife’s negative attitude towards marriage because of her parents’ shitty marriage, as well as money problems that are mainly created by her (student loans and other bad financial decisions, and leaving me on the hook for all of our bills), but this weekend she went away on a girls’ weekend with her friends and I encouraged her to do so to give her a break, but the way everyone in this house is so happy right now, our son has not had any of his outbursts, everybody’s just happy and calm and having a nice weekend makes it very clear with the X factor is the cause of the tension in this house and I’m dreading picking her up from the airport tomorrow. My wife flips out over every little thing and claims that it’s my son’s fault or my fault, she claims that it’s incredibly stressful to do household things and to take care of kids but here I am taking care of my two beautiful children by myself, having a great weekend with them - and the kitchen is clean all the laundry is done, the house is in order and we’re all still happy and nobody’s yelling at each other. I can’t live like this anymore but I still don’t want to walk away.

I [26F] was friends with this girl [28F] and she ended up ghosting me after I had gone through a sexual assault.
It’s been 8 months since that time and i’m just now coming out of a depression.
I’m trying to review what went wrong and i’m anxious to go back to the climbing gym ( i introduced her to climbing and towards the end of my friendship she told me not to go there when she was there and wait til she was gone to work).
Things she did: - tell me I didn’t spend enough money on her bday present compared to what i spent on someone else’s ( keep in mind she got me nothing for mine and didnt even come out to my birthday dinner because she was heartbroken over this guy)

• i usually gave her clothes i was planning to donate. After the assault, there was one weekend where i took a lot of my wardrobe and needed to get rid of it. I sheepishly texted her “ sorry, i know i should of kept the clothes for you but i just needed them out of my house and i felt weird with you wearing the clothes that represent a weird time in my life” She said “im just salty because you know i need money right now and cant afford new clothes. But do whatever you want i guesss” The next day i felt guilty and put clothes in a bag and gave it to her
  
• our entire friendship, she kept talking about her previous friend who broke their friendship in a letter to her. She had outlined times where she was being unfair and not nice. I should of taken this story as a red flag…
  
• she would often tell me “ someone called me too much once”
  
• she would say people who claim that “everyone loves them” are actually the people everyone dislikes… and then she would say “ this people love me so much, im everybody’s favorite… etc That confused me
  
• i was raised by a stay at home italian mom who loves through food. So shes the type of person who bakes for the nee neighbour or makes soup when someone is sick… i told my friend i was going to bake the employees at our climbing gym because theyre nice and she said “ why would you do that? It’s so weird” Made me feel insecure about wanting to bake for people but then my mom told me she was just upset because it would make me look better than her so she didnt want me to do that…
  
• she called me stupid infront of this guy i had a crush on and that hurt my feelings and when i confronted her about it later she said “ i said that? I dont even remember”
  
• the real kicker is that she started a rumour about me after ghosting me and told people i cant be trusted with guys who have girlfriends and made all the women on staff stay away from me… girls i didnt even know we’re telling people that i was bad news I only know because a guy on staff asked me about it because he was like “ you seem really sweet and nice but people are saying youre bad news” That felt shitty. I was trying to get back into climbing about the assault and she made that place a living hell for me, i was already paranoid every knew about the assault but add this shit on… She also knew i hadnt dated anyone in 6 years and im just a bubbly person…
  

I guess i’m looking for input. These are red flags or is it okay for her to do and say these things because shes angry and depressed and hurting? I still don’t know how i could of salvaged the relationship or what i did wrong. Thats al. I kinda feel blind sided and now im scared to make another friend… i dont have many to begin with

Hey! As an incoming grad student, I just moved into Daniels hall, and the first impression was terrible. There is trash everywhere, and the room is so dusty. This is my first day here, and I already want to move out of this dorm. Is Daniels hall supposed to be like this, or did I get bad luck and got the dirty room?
Does anyone have a recommendation for off-campus housing? this is frustrating :/

Just got max scav karma and I thought Fence was supposed to have players uninsured gear for sale in that section. Imagine my shock when I saw a compass and nothing else in the shop. What the fuck happened to this feature?

May have a few more things to come as I'm still shooting out a few options, but got bored and wanted to post and see some offers.
​
a few notes:

• Everything in Excellent condition or better and has velcro or Dual Lock on back except where noted. Comes with original box and goodies unless stated otherwise.
• Photos can be obtained on demand. Laziness prevails until that time.
• Willing to sell everything here, and honestly would prefer that to some extent because I have my eye on a few upcoming releases. I know some don't like sales talk in the trade sub, so I've made a companion post on sellyourpedals
• Cheapies with asterisk* are items I would prefer to package with other stuff to even values out for a trade rather than trading individually. Will sell individually if interested in that route.

​
stuff I have:

pedal	pics	notes
Snouse Black Box OD 2 Stage Pro Mod		Mint condition. No velcro. Once I made it through the wait list I HAD to try it, but after a brief honeymoon period it was clear that I still had a different favorite Bluesbreaker... My loss, your gain!
Strymon Riverside		Good-to-Very Good condition. Minor cosmetic issues (photos on the way). No velcro, but probably did with prior owner as it seems labels were destroyed during removal.
EQD White Light (RI)		Near Mint condition. No velcro. From recent reissue with top jacks.
RambleFX Twin Bender V3		Near Mint condition. No velcro.
Spaceman Sputnik III		Very Good condition.
TC Electronic Spark Mini*
TC Electronic Polytune 3 Noir*		Seriously brand new. Tape to seal it in factory hasn't even been opened. A casualty of the "I'm going to build a small side board!"-but-then-instead-I-didn't era.
Disaster Area micro.clock*		Near mint. No velcro.
OBNE Expression Ramper*		Near mint. No velcro. Black colorway.
Saturnworks Tap Tempo*		No box.
Source Audio Tap Tempo*

​
stuff I might want (in no specific order):

• A few ideas below, but I am mostly looking for unexpected offers to grab my interest! Bonus points for things I can't do well with my Axe FX III.
• KittycasterFX Groovy Wizard
• Magnetic Effects White Atom (V4 preferred)
• Would love to try a Bondi Del Mar Mk 2 -- big thanks to u/Noynumal for feeding my sickness.
• There's almost certainly no way anyone has a microtonal guitar out there, but a recent King Gizzard obsession has me on the hunt...
• For the right deal I can add a little cash.

The 2012 Election is taking shape in the Confederacy. The Conventions of the Dixiecrats and the Populists have wrapped up. Vincent K. McMahon will represent the Dixiecrats with Jeff Sessions as his running mate. On the Populist end, John McCain rides a surprising wave of popular support with Bill Nelson to try and redeem the image of the Populists.
It now comes down to the Farmers, and everyone attending the Convention believes this is the election where the Farmers finalize their decade-plus long comeback. The economic recession and shaky situation abroad has, to the Farmers, created the perfect storm to not only enter the Presidency again but also to push through other reforms. Even the last few years' controversies surrounding former Farmers Presidential candidate John Edwards can't seem to stop the Farmers' hype train.
And so the Farmers National Convention begins in New Orleans, Louisiana. Who do the delegates choose to carry the Farmers to the White House?

Senator Al Gore of Tennessee

The son of a prominent Confederate political family and current frontrunner in the election is the Senator Al Gore. A long-time environmentalist, Gore was actually on the shortlist for a cabinet position in the Clinton administration. It's believed that this is the reason Gore declined to run in 2006, out of respect for Edwin Edwards who was running as the Populist candidate. Gore has been a strong and stabilizing hand for the Farmers since the 80s, and has drawn comparisons with the legendary Confederate President Huey Long. Gore has been running on a plan of repealing the Israel embargo, strengthening the Confederate Social Security program, infrastructure spending, and environmentalist reforms to protect Confederate nature such as the Florida Everglades and Ozarks.
Some, however, see this as promising too much and shooting too high, and claim these ideals contradict each-other. Gore is also a known ally of former President Bill Clinton, which could hurt him somewhat if he isn't careful.

Senator James Webb of Virginia

Back from is Vice Presidential loss in 2006 is James Webb. As former Secretary of the Navy under President Jimmy Carter, and a current sitting Senator, and with a wealth of foreign policy experience, Webb is trailing only slightly behind Gore, and even coming ahead of him in the Deep South. Like Gore, Webb wants to repeal the Israeli embargo, but wants to pair this with pushing European allies to sanction Israel as well. He supports reforms to national veteran support systems, and his nature as a fighter makes him appeal to even the hawks across the Confederacy.
However, Webb walks the fine line between a fighter and a strongman. As well, his controversial statements about women, especially women in military service, could cost the Farmers the female vote. There's also a number of accusations from more conservative individuals across the Confederacy that he'll increase rights for black Confederates, but that affects all Farmers. It just affects him more than others.

Senator Mary Landrieu of Louisiana

The only woman in the Confederate race so far is Mary Landrieu, Senator from Louisiana. Unlike Gore or Webb, who are firmly on the Farmers' left-wing side, Landrieu is much more moderate, and willing to cross party lines, as evidenced by her work in the Common Ground Coalition in Congress. She adopts a few of Gore's environmental positions, endearing her to the Deep South, but also supports the current embargo and sanctions on Israel, instead proposing new trade agreements with India and Taiwan to make up the difference. Even her Internet sales tax proposals have gained significant ground. Not to mention that if she won the general election, she would be the first female Confederate President!
But Landrieu has been the target of a few criticisms. In particular, her record on environmentalism is mixed, and some believe she's adopting some of Gore's positions to simply gain votes, which she denies. She's also accused of being more socially conservative than either Gore or Webb, personally supporting same-sex marriage but also defending her own State's ban, which just leaves people confused.
And so it's turned over to the delegates. Who do the Farmers nominate for the Presidency?
View Poll

This is my fourth trip; I've only ever done cactus. This trip is unique compared to the first 3 because I spent it almost entirely indoors and the peak was ~80% blindfolded. The length of cactus is somewhat less than my forearm (250mm long by 90mm diameter). I believe the one I've got is unusually active or perhaps I'm sensitive to the effects.
The peak sequence of the trip involved a number of different dissolution sequences; with my eyes closed, shattering apart into shards of glass. Eyes closed the roof and floor of my house disappeared and suddenly I was floating in space (in a space? Another dimension? I'm not sure - I didn't seem to be outdoors where my house was in NZ), with the angle of my body moving and and shifting. Eventually I was back in the room, dissolving into paint and spreading out around the floor and onto the walls, and then starting to fold up on myself - turning inside out, my body breaking apart into pieces and forming a tunnel, and eventually flattening out round the walls of the tunnel. The tunnel stretches out, infinitely long as I hurtle through it; eventually it snaps back (or forwards? FOrward and back seem to be the same thing) and the tunnel - and me with it since I'm in the tunnel but am the tunnel (not sure there is a me at this point, really), snaps shut into a 2D circle.
I'm back again, floating in space; shifting vertically, upside down. I'm still in my house - but I'm not in my house. I'm everywhere, but nowhere.
For a time I am hanging out with my deceased brother - watching a nature documentary about NZ, only we are in NZ which is amusing, only we aren't in NZ, we are back in Canada, and we are in another dimension, somewhere between life and death. We chuckle about the absurdity of it all. I say that I'm trying to use the cactus to heal myself and change my habits but really it's just an excuse to hang out with him. He says he'll tell his side he is helping to fix me. Suddenly, I am on a ladder, with building supplies being fixed to me. My brother was a builder. I am my brother. I am passing building supplies to him on the ladder to fix me (or is it the other way around? There is no distinction anymore).
The music shifts (John Hopkins psychedelic playlist) into a great orchestral piece, and suddenly, I am out of body with a birds eye floating view of one of the most incredible sequences of my life. I am inside an enormous spherical theater or auditorium space, infinitely large, which I can only describe as being simultaneously a natural space but also clockwork; inside the sphere is another sphere, this one is my mind; but it is also the Gaia / infinite love / infinite unity experience from the second trip. I can see myself (and my brother) standing on this enormous ladder next to my mind, trying to fix the holes in the side of it. Around the mind (or Gaia ?) I can see many doors and windows, and a great many journal articles, papers, and images are flowing out of it, like someone holding a deck of cards and making them rapidly fly away into the air. I am in this space for eternity? Or a few moments - I don't know. Time has been frozen for some time (lol).
Eventually, I find myself in a different space. I can only describe it as like the moving staircase room from Harry Potter, and there are these great lengths of clockwork machine pieces being moved apart and re-arranged. It's me - I am being taken apart into all these pieces, and put back together. Some of the pieces are as they were before. Some are new. Some are fixed. One particular piece I recall is my right leg: Since an early bout with intense depression and suicidality in early university at 17 years old where I suffered an intense right knee / calf injury that had me limping for months, I have had some kind of somatization where whenever i get severely depressed or suicidal, the limp returns even though the injury has been healed for years.
Suddenly, a new space. An infinitely large auditorium, in space or another dimension, filled with these infinitely large clockwork men (think like the clockwork men from Doctor Who but infinitely large) it is one of the most incredible scenes I have ever witnessed. The men are frozen, because time is frozen.
Eventually, I am back - in NZ, in my room it seems, dissolving into paint and light and nacho cheese again. THere is a lengthy sequence involving mexican girls, a mexican ski lodge and building a ski lodge. Then, my sunrise alarm starts gradually turning on for the last hour of the trip, and I seem to dissolve into the light and spend the last hour of the peak drifting along as light.

I'm 27F, about 200lbs 5"4 (overweight). I'm on fluoxetine 10mg per day (after being on 40mg a day for 7 years) and beta blockers for anxiety.
So I've been having a fair amount of acid reflux for probably like 3 years now, but lately it's felt different.
I get it nearly every night as soon as I lie down, and this is even after I've stopped eating anything past 8pm. It's better when lying on my left but not always gone. I also get it during the day and that has gotten more frequent the past few months.
My throat has been more sore when I get reflux the past few months. When my reflux is bad at night I looked and the back of my throat is red and my throat gets so sore but usually when I wake up the next morning it's completely back to normal!
Diet wise, the only thing that seems to clearly set it off is chocolate (lol), but I have it a lot of times when I don't have any chocolate so it's definitely not just that. I have a naturally sensitive stomach with possible IBS and I'm sensitive to dairy but even eating no dairy at all I still get reflux.
Now, I have been using things like gaviscon, Rennie's and have even tried Tums. I do wonder if this is what has made it worse as I was having gaviscon basically every night for a while. I have since been trying very hard not to have anything because I saw that too many can actual cause less acid and more reflux. For the last few weeks I've had no gaviscon or anything but still bad acid reflux and it's really starting to ruin things.
It makes my life miserable at times. I can't relax fully sometimes because I have to sit straight up to avoid the reflux, meaning I can't snuggle in bed with my boyfriend either. I get it randomly in the day just walking normally about the house and I'll just feel it and it's sore and unpleasant! I hate it!
Any advise please? My doctor has asked me for a poo sample to test for a certain bacteria in my stomach which I'm going to do obviously but in the meantime I'm just getting really frustrated and hate not knowing why this is happening

okay so i recently found out about a position with hawk pest control that is NOT d2d (their Pest control division is d2d) but this is for termite sales (a new division where you get set up with about 8-10 appointments a day and you basically just go close) you get housing and a rental car(they are in several markets in the south) and at minimum KPIs the guy said you should bring in 12 a month (commission is 20 percent of revenue, need to be selling 60k a month). has anyone hear worked with them, know if its too good to be true? ive read mixed reviews about hawk online but am interested. ive sold solar and insurance but know nothing about pest control/termites/bugs
