Rooms for rent bakersfield ca

Apologies if this has been asked over and over again, I couldn’t find any posts even though this has to be a common question. I’m not new to Manhattan but am fairly new to the small apartment life.
What are your tips/tricks for small space furniture? My usable living room space is about 8.5x6 and my bedroom is the same. I currently have a queen sized bed, tiny dresser, mounted TV in the bedroom. A couch (planning to swap for a smaller one) and a standing/rolling desk in the living room.
My girlfriend is moving in over the next few weeks and I want to make the space as comfortable as I can for both of us. And advice/recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

CPU: R5 3600 motherboard: Asus TUF x570 Plus Case: nzxt H510.
Under load my CPU is running around 85 degrees and idle at around 65. Currently running the stock AMD cooler. Would it be better to upgrade to an H5 Flow case or throw an AIO on there? It's in a room with good ventilation but not necessarily the coolest air during the summer. Is it better to get more air into the system or a better method for cooling it? TIA!

my dad has refused to enroll me in school for years... not only refused, but lied to me about it. hes said "oh next year" and when next year comes he says the same thing..
hes told me that all of this is in my head, my insane fear of social interaction etc etc. he tells me to "stop playing victim" and he blames it all on the internet, he blames his shitty parenting on fucking youtube.
hes mad at me for spending all day everyday in my room, its his fucking fault but he blames me.
ive been on the verge of killing myself since i was 8, and sometimes ive been really close to just doing it..
i dont know if i love or hate living, most of my life ive had no friends, except random people id talk to out of being lonely... but recently i met someone, and this someone is the greatest person anyone could ever ask for :] shes the only reason i actually want to live.
but besides her, i have no reason to live.
do i love my dad? or do i hate him? i ask myself this every fucking day.

I adopted what I was under the impression was a lab mix after fostering her since 2 weeks old. Her mom was a lab, but the dad was unknown and shortly after I adopted her, her ears started perking up and became very apparent that she was a husky.
She’s now a little over six months old and I have two cats who she’s been raised around and initially she would always just try and play with them but it’s starting to look like she sees them as prey. She tried to bite one in the face the other day and he screamed. My cats seem far more stressed and are constantly in hiding when they used to be very social cats are because every time they go in the living room (hopping a baby gate I have) she immediately chases after them and tries to pin them down.
I mostly work from home, but one day a week I have to go in the office and I have a friend who watches her who also has a cat. Today my puppy attacked her cat and understandably, my friend can no longer watch her which means she would have to be crated nine hours once a week while I’m at work otherwise she would destroy things or potentially endanger my cats.
I have tried everything she’s been in a training class for a few months and has improved in some ways, but seems to be getting worse with the cats, or at least getting bigger and more dangerous. I give her Kongs and other mental stimulation, I only feed her either with a puzzle toy or by training. I take her on walks and alternate her toys. I am at my wits end and I don’t know how much longer I should wait before potentially rehoming at her as I’ve tried to train her to do well with my cat for six months now to no avail.
Any advice welcome because I really do love her and have grown very attached to her, but I have course have to consider the well-being of my cats.

Men, (and boys let’s be real). I’ve done it. My life’s work is complete. (This is cringe so look away now). Yesterday, I went to Home Depot, naturally, after I paid for a screwdriver, I went to the club across the street to maybe get someone to touch it. Never been there yet anyway, so fuck it. Walked in….. and this place is dead, except for your typical regulars. And like two or three girls who were just hanging out in the changing room. Well I’m here, so I’m gonna buy a drink at least, fuck it, I’m on company time lol. FINALLY, some thicker Latina walks out and does her round, coming straight to me. Buy my dance, do our thing, she mentions I have pretty eyes, and boys, that’s a good sign. 1 dance later I got my thumb down this chicks kitty and I’m playing with the bean, and tbh, that’s the most I’ve ever done in a club. Back home, the women are a lil more respectable then that, but hey that’s ok. She asks if I want to fuck, I said sure, and I’ll describe the layout real quick. When she asks we are behind privacy curtain kinda by the stage. NO ONE is on stage or in the room. So this broad takes me up front, where they have the same ass set up but by the bar. 5-10 people hanging out drinking. We go up behind this curtain and she asks for 400 just for a quickie. Back home, we that’s half a hour at the most, I live in posh central and it sucks ass, but I just offer 300 for the dances we had and the extras and she bites! Did I over pay? Probably, but fuck it this is a fantasy, on goes the cover and, she rode my love stick in front of a cheering crowd, who were nice enough to count down each time a song ends. Yea, they knew what we were doing behind this stupid ass curtain. Finish up, and this chick won’t stop, she takes the rubber off, wraps it up and puts in my pocket to throw away. What did I learn here? Obviously I overpaid, but not knowing what the local rates where doesn’t help. 2- always throw out a counter offer, you might surprise yourself 3- pay for the fantasy, these hoes ain’t loyal. Thanks Mi Amigos

Hey! Just looking for someone to hang out and watch some anime with or maybe some horror movies, maybe with some snacks and food. I live in Fontana, CA and I'm willing to travel around the IE, or maybe outside of the IE depending on how far it is. I'm mainly just looking for a friend to cuddle with and talk to about nerdy stuff. I'm also into video games so if I could find a gaming buddy that would be awesome as well.
Idk if my physical stats matter but just in case: I'm around 6 feet tall, 196 lbs, and I'm of Black, Irish and Native American descent. I don't care about race, appearance, religion or anything like that. Just wanna find a nice person to hang with so if you're interested and nearby then let's talk! 😊

Long vent incoming. On mobile so apologies if the formatting is awful.
I'm a single mom who moved across the country to live with family while I get back on my feet. Still in the process of getting divorced. I've been living with my daughter (15mo) in my brothers spare room for a little over 6 months. When we fist got here, I got a fast food job to supplement my income while I looked for something better. Brother has been watching my daughter when I work part time and when I go to interviews. It took me awhile to get a better paying job but I finally did it! Started last week and am really enjoying it so far.
Now that I'm going to be working more there's been some tension about how much I'm paying bro & how often I'll need him to watch her. In June my brother & his husband will be out of town for 3 weeks. I had to arrange for my ex to fly in to watch our daughter so I wouldn't lose my new job. Mother's Day weekend bro & BIL went out of town so our mom came to help while I worked. Long story short-ish, mom fell asleep on the couch & I came home to my daughter crying in her crib upstairs. They just told me they're going to be gone for two weeks in July and I don't know what to do. Not to mention the fact that they're going to be moving out of state themselves next year. So I have to have all my ducks in a row by then which is stressful.
My daughter is on waitlists at two local daycares but who knows how long those could take to open up. I've exhausted all my family options in the area that im comfortable with and am truly at a loss of what to do. I'm unable to take time off and haven't exactly asked my new boss if it's ok for me to bring my daughter with me.
My ex wants us to move back to our home state so we can have 50/50 custody and his parents can help with childcare. I was initially against it but the more I think about it I can't help but feel it might be what's best for everyone. I'm so stressed all the time worrying about being able to support us on my own, finding a new place to live, finding childcare, doing fun things, etc, etc. At least if we moved home I wouldn't be so worried about childcare and she'd get to form a relationship with her dad. Thoughts?
Not really sure what I'm looking for here. Maybe just to shout into the void? I'll happily take some advice or words of encouragement:')

Hello everyone
I ordered a 2nd wireless receiver for my sons room and I’ve had the hardest time getting it to work. I have the main att receiver in the living room and it works great, I have one in my room that works great, but I cannot for the life of me get the wireless receiver to work in my sons room.
I set it up properly, carefully following all the steps and I get the TV to play for 10 seconds then it says, “U-verse signal has been lost” even though it shows it is still linked and has full bars on my receiver. I’ve reached out to tech support twice and they sent me a second receiver to try out…. Once again had the same problem. Called them back and they said they would be sending an “Advanced” receiver. I asked what that was and they explained it was the same model I have now, but with the latest firmware……. So they haven’t been sending me the latest receivers with the latest firmware the first two times?
If this third one doesn’t work it’s not a big deal, I’ll just send it back and forget about it. But wanted to see if you guys had any magic tricks I could try.

Hey everyone, I'm not entirely new to fitness/proper diet so I have a bit of prior knowledge, but it's been years since I was actually eating clean and regularly running and lifting. I'm getting back into it now though! With the primary goal of losing weight (hence posting on this sub)
From what I know, and I could be wrong, reputable protein powder sources like ON Protein contain several types of protein or amino acids which makes me think that it's a "diverse" or varied enough source of protein.
Am I right in thinking this? Cause right now I'm thinking, the easiest way for me to reach my daily protein intake is to just have protein powder with every meal, along with eating other minor protein sources as well. For instance, in the morning I could eat oatmeal with protein powder, for lunch chicken with protein shake on the side, after workout protein shake with liquid egg whites, and dinner turkey with protein shake on the side as well lol.
Do I need to get a bigger share of my daily protein from other protein sources that isn't protein powder? Or am I good with my approach.
Thanks!

Hi I’m 22(f) A couple days ago I noticed hives all over my body I’ve never had hives before and I’m not allergic to anything and I’ve never had seasonal allergies before at first I thought it was because I changed my sheets on my bed and I thought maybe I used a different laundry soap (although I’ve never had sensitive skin) and they went away after an hour or two but then they came back and I started to realize they would come after I had just got done eating literally after eating and drinking anything I had an orange and there was flare up I had grilled cheese for dinner and my entire chin was swollen with welts and my face was covered with hives I even had a flare up after drinking water. I’ve been considering go to a doctor to be seen for other heath things that I think might be related I’ve been painfully bloating after any heavy meal (I’ve never had stomach problems in my life) I’ve been having problems with either constipation/diarrhea and I’ve been having a concerning amount of weight loose but most of the time gets over looked because of being fat I’ve lost 38 pounds in the last 3 months and I haven’t changed much about my lifestyle or diet except for some days I have extreme hunger I literally eat none stop and some days I eat nothing because If I do I will throw it up. I do have a thyroid disorder but I take medicine and my blood work came back normal levels some other minor things are chronic migraines and difficulty sleeping I’m just at a lost I’m not sure if what I’m going through is just my thyroid or if it’s something else I have very limited access to a doctor so basically I’m asking if I should go to the emergency room or wait about a couple weeks when I have access to a primary care doctor. I also would like to ease my anxiety as I’m a scared I’m dying or have something really bad (I have diagnosed ocd and this kind of stuff is scary)

Hey everyone, I’ve been an nba fan for a little while now. I’m currently 19 and I started watching the nba in 2016, and to this day I’ve never found a team to call mine and have the feeling my friends have by rooting for a team, though I own gear from many teams such as a lakers jersey, bulls jersey, raptors jersey and a pistons jersey, it’s all just for a style and decoration when I hang them around my room to give it a basketball theme.
Since I’m still fairly young I feel like I should try looking for a team that’s still young so I can watch them grow and get better. I’ve been paying a lot of attention to guys like Shai, Luka, Mikael Bridges has to be one of my favourite guys to watch.
Just posting to get some input, any input is appreciated, thanks!

We booked to stay here the second weekend of November for 3 nights (Nov 11th- 14th). A few questions- do you expect our time would still clash with rain season? Would it be better to go the first weekend in December?
Apparently the beach house will be under construction during our stay but construction should be done by November. Would that be enough to sway a change to December?
Do you suggest renting a car for excursions for when you are staying for 3 nights or just have the hotel plan it? Idea would be chill at property day we arrive, excursion next day, and relax the final full day.
Any advice will be much appreciated. Thank you all!

My story is similar to all of yours. I’m a 18 y/o who paid attention to the little details from a very young age. I remember in many occasions seeing a photo of a girl on the side while I was playing on the computer and I just couldn’t stop thinking. Even though I only looked at the first pornographic image when I was around 12 years old. It was when I got my first phone and I was on Facebook and I found this account that had only the cover photo of a woman who wasn’t fully naked but showed a lot. I remember keeping memory of the profile name and searching it whenever I was alone in my room and just staring at it. I felt something I have never felt before.
I had such a traumatic childhood and I’m sure many of you brothers and sisters would relate to me when I say that I used many of the online outlets to soothe myself. I played video games for hours. I also started watching porn videos when I was in 7th grade (abt 14 y/o.) That addiction developed to hardcore porn and fantasies by the time I was in junior high, including hentai and others. I ended up realising how much of a toll it was taking on me mentally, physically and spiritually.
I decided I was going to stop once and for all when I was a senior in high school. The reason I wanted to stop was to feel better and get more attention from girls. I relied completely on willpower and watched TONS of motivational. I started going to the gym consistently. I made sure I ate right and slept well and kept good hygiene. I started getting attention from girls more. I started to ask them for their number and if we could hang out. I then got a girlfriend after 4 months of no PMO. I liked her so much but I couldn’t connect with her. I didn’t know if this was right or wrong so I asked God to give me a dream about whether or not I should stay with her. That same night, God gave me a dream where I picked an apple off of a tree and tried to give it to her, and she did not take it. This was a sign from God that this girl was not the one for me. Even though I could not wrap my head about leaving her just because of a dream, I said, “Jesus, let it be your will and not mine.” I then started talking to the same girl about Jesus and about how we should make him the centre of the relationship in order for it to prosper. I realised that the more I talked to her about God, the more distant we because. This was enough evidence for me that God didn’t want me to stay with her. Therefore, I left her and broke it off cold despite having feelings for her. She used to say that she loved me, but today she says that she never even liked me. She got a new boyfriend. Looking back, I think I just wanted to feel loved, but in a genuine way. And I’m not talking about sex or any of that. I just wanted to feel loved but I couldn’t find that in my relationship with this girl. I remember feeling heartbroken and sad. Often, I couldn’t sleep from the pain I felt in my heart because I really loved this girl. I started going out for walks as late as 2,3, and 4 in the middle of the night and just feeling down. With nobody to talk to. What made the pain worse was thinking back of the memories where I used to hug my ex and exchange kind words. I often found myself crying and even sobbing. I was feeling lonely and I missed feeling as though I was loved.
I then went back to porn again to make myself feel better. After 6 months of no porn and no masturbation, I finally gave up. My ambitions started crumbling and binge watched porn again. I didn’t look as happy as I once did. However, I met with a 54 y/o friend that I met before the 6 months of abstinence from porn. This is a guy that God tried using to warn me of getting into a relationship when I was this young. I remembered him in the middle of my pain and called him. He remembered me and asked how I did, I told him the same story and he was happy to know that I didn’t have sex with her and didn’t even kiss her because he said that sex forms a bond between two human beings. He made me meet a group of young men who are around my age and we now support each other. Don’t get me wrong, I still fall. But I now realised that the only way out of sin (pornography and masturbation) is through Jesus Christ. As Jesus said; “I’m the way, the truth, and the light m.” And “Come to me all you who are weary and heavy burdened and I will give you rest.” Jesus gave us all the power to defeat sin, and he said “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”
I want to make sure you ladies and gentleman understand that porn and masturbation is not a physical war, it’s a spiritual one. Ephesians 6:12 “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” You need Jesus because he said: “Without me, you can do nothing.” Therefore, I will pray for everyone who struggles with porn and masturbation to be set free from the spiritual chains that bind them and make their lives miserable. I want you to know that Jesus loves you. There is no sin too great for Christ. Christ, who died on the cross for you and I 2000 years ago so that we wouldn’t perish, knows your struggles and wants you to know that he knows exactly how you feel and wants you to be better.
“This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.” (1 John 4:9-11)
Remember that you are precious. The Bible said in Genesis 1:27, wherein "God created man in his own image.” This means that no matter what you want to think of yourself, you are created in the image of God, and he loves you more than you could ever imagine. Just put this in his hands and have faith that he can set you free.
Matthew 21:22 “22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. 22 And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith."
Therefore, have faith that it is possible to live a better life through Christ who loves you beyond all measures. And his love is the only thing that you need.
Matthew 22:37 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt alove the Lord thy God with all thy bheart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy cmind. 38 This is the first and great acommandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt alove thy neighbour as thyself.
Peace and Love, Your servant and brother in Christ

I've lived in JC for about a year near Grove St. area and like it so far, to the point that I wonder if it is worth buying a place here. There are a lot of new buildings / ones that are under construction. I've been looking at 1-bed room luxury apartments (e.g., 99 Hudson, 10 Provost, 151 Bay..) but I think the prices are still bit high. They were all around $800k+ and I feel like the prices haven't come down despite overall macro headwinds and high-interest rates.
Some pros and cons of JC:

• Pros
  • So much cleaner vs. NYC
  • I enjoy not paying NYC city taxes
  • New buildings and more coming
  • Wholefoods (really hope they open soon)
  • I also have a car that comes in super handy sometimes
• Cons
  • Limited restaurants and lower quality overall
  • Not a lot of decent "every day" Asian restaurants and groceries
  • Not sure about how much prices will appreciate?
  • Heard higher property taxes

What are your thoughts about buying right now?

I had an issue with my internet speeds being slower than I paid for so a tech came out and replaced both modem and router, my lights were all working fine previous to this… now I can tell ask alexa to turn on or off living room lights and it can take 30 seconds, a minute, or she’ll just do nothing. She always says “okay” but nothing happens. I have fully deleted every light from both the Alexa app and the Tuya app. I have unplugged Alexa for 5 minutes plus. I don’t know what else to do. My internet speeds are 5x what they were so I don’t think it’s that… any advice before I lose my fuckin mind would be appreciated :)))

If you want a TL;DR, we own 2 Kias and it's going disasterously.
So we just got our 2bd Kia, a 2008 Kia Sportage, back on Monday for the (we hope) final time after Friendship Kia of Beckley, WV forgot to bleed the brake lines after the replacement of our failed recall replacement HECU/ABS module. No, I didn't mistype that, we went and did the recall on the HECU/ABS module in March, like good little children, and a month later the HECU/ABS module failed. We originally towed it to our own mechanic who diagnosed it and found out the hard way that is a "dealer only part" so after a week at our mechanic we had to tow it a third time to the dealership where it arrived with 18 other tow-ins. So two weeks later, on Friday late in the day, we were finally called and told to pick up our car along with the 7 other customers that were waiting for the same service on their vehicle.
And Monday morning, Memorial Day, all 8 of us called in complaining and my partner caught the heated exchange between the service manager and the mechanic, including the lovely gem of "but the computer doesn't say to bleed the brake lines," so he did the repair, eight times, and somehow managed to miss the fact that 8 vehicles were a little dodgy on their brakes as he parked them in the parking lot for pickup.
Today I did the paper work so my partner could get reimbursed for the $1,200+ dollars all of that cost us.
Oh, but we have a second Kia, surely this allowed us to not have to rent a car, be inconvenienced, etc.
Oh you sweet summer child. Our second Kia is a 2016 Kia Soul 2.0L Nu GDI, that croaked on December 21, 2021 (yep, 2021, still in the pandemic, after the Knock Detection update recalls went out, before we knew what they were actually doing) at 105K miles that no one wants to touch it. Hence the emergency purchase of the 2008 Kia Sportage as it was truly the only vehicle we looked at in 2021 that didn't look like someone had just fished it out of a lake (remember, the car shortage).
I just sent a message to the law firm handling that case in hopes that maybe there's a way to get relief.
I'm 40, this was my first new car ever. And I am so disgusted by the whole situation I would rather never own a vehicle again. Like take my license, stick a fork in me, I'm DONE.
I'm trying to remain positive over here, and on that note, one positive thing I can say, at least I don't have to worry about it being stolen, guess that's one benefit of the engine failure.
Okay, that's all the toxic positivity I have in me. Truth told, I do worry about it because it doesn't "look" broke down and I'm afraid someone is going to bust out a window to make the attempt.
Anyone having any success out there in the midst of the lawsuits? Or is everyone feeling as violated as I am? Like, congratulations, you are a responsible vehicle owner who managed to safely drive your car out of its base warranty, you just won a giant middle finger and a the obligation to spend $10,000 on a new engine!
Kia, movement that inspires!
More like Kia, glacial movement after a lawsuit just to think about fixing the issue you already knew you had and done in a way that inspires people to need professional counseling.

i found some plastic spiked mats that are supposed to keep cats off of them. it looks like it just prevents them from trying to walk or jump to where they aren’t supposed to. i don’t think my cat would try and jump on it, especially if i put it down far enough. unfortunately my cat has to stay in my room whenever i’m not able to watch him or i’m out. i live with my family and when he’s allowed out, i have to watch him and it’s only when my family’s cats aren’t in the house.
i currently have to barricade one half of the living room with a bunch of stuff and put other stuff on counters so he can’t jump up to stuff. i don’t have room for cat condos, which i’m sure he needs in there to stop jumping around. he gets on my gpa’s train set and knocks things over. there’s nowhere else for him to go. i have to block off the stairs and if i was able to block off the entire living room (there’s no door), then all he could do was walk around in a very small hallway. i also can’t move at the moment.
they are plastic spikes, so i’m assuming they wouldn’t really hurt if he tried to walk on them. i don’t want him to get hurt at all. my gpa is upset that i have to set something up, even when he’s upstairs the entire time so i’m hoping if i can find something that’s very easy to take down and doesn’t mess with any of his things, he won’t mind. i just don’t want my cat to get hurt
