I just wanted to share my thoughts on the outright disgusting verbal abuse that Turans mother, grandmother and family are receiving on his lives and in comments. I live in Australia & I do not know them but I have seen his family spending so much time every day supporting Turan & it must be a rollercoaster of ups and downs and constant anxiety. They are receiving this abuse vicariously though being related to & supporting Turan. Tonight I read the most despicable things being hurled their way, saying they don’t care about him, they don’t do anything to help, she’s a terrible mother etc. On Turans video ages ago, he was saying he had to unblock his family - so they are walking a tightrope, if they say too much he will deny them access which will make them worry even more. The following day after he was snorting ketamine on the way to Scotland he was so remorseful and said that his family were crying around the table worried that he’s going to die. He promised them he wasn’t going to take drugs any more and he was going to be sober and then days later he was going live snorting ketamine in a bathroom in London. He has let them down so much & the demons inside him just want to keep taking these substances, then he feels guilty afterwards & tries to pacify them & his viewers by saying he will go to N/A etc (which he never does). I can clearly see that they are a loving and supportive family. (I ran away from my mothers house when I was 13 due to abuse and in 30 years my mother has never tried to contact me or help me in anyway whatsoever so I can speak firsthand on this, I would do anything to have a mother check in on me). The horrible comments from users like pickles tonight would be too much for most people to handle. These people are obviously very inexperienced in life and think they know everything. But walk a mile in her shoes. They are not thinking of Turans mother‘s & grandmothers mental health, honestly I don’t think I could handle such things being said to me every single day repeatedly by so many people. Ive read in comments Amanda saying that they’ve tried to help him since he was 16 but he just leaves. He is an adult and he cannot be restrained, that would be illegal and he has freedom to choose which ever path he wants to in life. I have a brother with a mental illness and he will not take help, he has always wanted to do life his way and that now involves walking the streets picking up cigarette butts all day. You can’t physically lock someone in a cage or force them on a plane. The reality is that the LA trip can’t continue forever, he only has a three month Visa and will not be able to stay in the country for much more than eight weeks I think, he can’t live in the UK as he doesn’t have a Visa and his only options will be Turkey or Australia or to go to some very cheap places such as South East Asia. But I think travelling long term won’t be a viable option as people are not donating him money as they don’t want to contribute to his drug use. I get that everybody is terrified that he’s going to take fentanyl and die or be awake & paranoid for weeks on meth but his family have to keep their own sanity and they can’t be following him around the world and bringing him home constantly for him just to leave again. They still have to work and pay bills and if anybody has watched intervention or any sort of shows on addiction a parent can only do so much, the user has to hit rock bottom & want to change or they are stopped by the law which in many cases is a good thing . A good book to read on the stubbornness of people like Turan would be Nikki Grahams book. She had anorexia from seven and everything her parents tried to do failed, for decades! I really hope these armchair critics back off & realise they don’t have the solutions, if it was that easy the family of everybody living on skid row or Kensington PA would come and take their family members home. This is a unique situation where people can’t see what’s going on behind the scenes, they can’t see from watching him ride his bike around that they have most likely been sending him money regularly and trying to contact him constantly & they would most definitely be lying awake at night with worry. I’m praying for Turan and his family. I hope the haters can do a bit of research, watch some episodes of Intervention & learn about addiction & mental illness. It is extremely hard to help someone with addiction especially when they keep leaving the country.

So I started working full-time about a year ago now. It’s my first job out of college and it’s 100% remote.
The job progresses by levels. I’m a “I”, and after that is a II, III, and Senior. I do much more work than a I is supposed to do (both level and complexity), but the remote part is a major pro for me so I don’t want to complain. Anyway, to get to the point. I have a coworker “Beka” (Senior) who is a prime example of the a-hole who does little to no work but has a big mouth. Not going to get into too much detail, but I do much, much more work for less pay.
Part of her big mouth is also that she complains about every “personal” issue to our boss. One day she essentially tells me she doesn’t give a shit about the job and her husband comes first, and the next she puts a play on for our boss: cries and says she feels she’s not “giving it her all”. He starts assigning her essentially no work, makes exceptions for her, and she says she’ll change her work hours 7-4 instead of most people 8-5. She typically gets offline around 3:30, and lies about starting at 7, she’s on at around right before everyone else gets on and is never really online anyway.
To get to my point: I stay up late and feel nauseous in the morning so I’ve been starting around 8:30-9ish for a while. Yesterday my boss texted me and said he didn’t see me online, I told him I start later, and he said “that won’t cut it.” I’m fuming. I produce so much more work than my coworker (for much less pay), I’m on till 5 or after (even if I don’t have to be since I skipped lunch or really nailed my work before 5), and I never say anything about the obviously unfair treatment.
What do I do in this situation? I got up early today again to see if she’s on, and nope. Literally this lady works maybe 2 hours a day and my boss has the audacity to tell me something about starting a bit later when I have nothing important in the morning regardless.

I was working on a job where an ambulance would transport the deceased to a location, but relatives had to pay to have the body taken to a morgue. One lady mailed a check for $1000 to have this done. Since the ambulance service didn’t accept payments to do this, I opened the check and asked if I could do it. My boss said no. I held the check in my hand and folded it. It was on blue paper.

I live in Illinois.
My landlord had signed for and lost 9 packages in 9 weeks totaling 2.7k. I have emails of me trying to track down where he put them. And him repeatedly telling me to just order "replacements" thru the carrier. These items were like beds and furniture.
6 of the 9 items were later recovered from Staff at the apartment weeks later with no explanation into where they were the entire time.
To get a "replacement" I filed a police report for theft on the remaining 3 items and sent an email saying that you can not conintually hold onto these high value items like this and not look for them.
The next day an attorney sent me a cease and desist saying I caused loss or reputation to the business.
I sent 8 emails in response. but they were basically forwarding the lost package emails and saying look. I didn lie
So, they called my father who was in the hospital at the time as he was a guarantor on my lease. And told him that I caused a huge disturbance in the lobby and said profane swear words. and they were starting the process o kicking me out unless my dad can get me to move out voluntarily
I immediately sent an email back to them showing that I was not even in the city at the time of the said "disturbance". I was working a state away.
so they sent me a second cease and desist saying I sent 8 emails to the business after the original cease and desist and that "caused loss of business operational efficiency"
​
So, I said whatever ill move out. I signed a lease elsewhere and two days before I was supposed to move out. they send me a lease break agreement. That says if I say anything disparaging. That. not only do I have to pay the lease buy fee, but the remainder of the lease and the attorneys retainer.
​
I showed the cease and desist to a few lawyers via those online legal services nd was told I should report the attorney to the bar and those were dumbest cease and desist they have seen of all time and the judge in an eviction court would absolutely kill them for it.
​
Ive been told that this is a constructive eviction under Illinois law and I do not have to sign that form. I can move out as planned. And they can take me to small claims court for the remainder of th lease and they will lose and have to pay my attorney fees
​
however, Im scared to leave the remainder of the lease up for the courts to decide.
​
I have emails showing they lied on both cease and desist. I have 9 signatures on the packages. I have 9 emails telling me to find it myself. And I have emails showing that they were proactively trying to negotiate an exit and were doing so in bad faith by trying to get me to sign a horrible lease termination agreement.
​
FINALLY, I HAVE THE ONLINE LISTINGS FOR SIMILAR APARTMENTS IN MY BUILDING AND CAN SHOW THAT THE LANDLORD RAISED THE RENT FOR THESE UNITS BY $1K A MONTH. SO IM THE CHEAPEST IN THE BUILDING
​
​
Attorneys on those legal services have said this is enough for a constructive eviction. what would you guys do here?
​
I could just sign the lease termination form But they have already made up lies twice. Who says they don't make up a lie saying I disparaged them and then come after me all that money in a binding contract I just signed.
plus attorneys have told me that the lease termination agreement they sent me is "bizarre" and id have to be an idiot to sign it

I’ve been offered a job (Beijing) with a GROSS salary of 30k plus housing allowance of 8k.
I’ve been told the base salary is taxable as per usual but the 8k housing allowance is not taxed (if I provide fapiao or they pay the rent directly). I just want to check this is correct and up to date information.
I asked them to provide an estimate on my NET salary and here’s what they said;
GROSS = 360k Salary + 96k Housing NET = ~316k Salary + 96K Housing
According to online calculators they’ve miscalculated my base salary tax, but also are they even right about the housing allowance?
Additional information: They’re providing high end insurance in lieu of social health insurance who I have agreed to. I have no dependents or other tax exemptions that I’m aware of.
TL;DR: With an annual gross salary of 360k plus housing allowance of 96k, how much should I expect after tax?

I’m going to school to try and expand my career options, but I also work full time in order to survive obviously. I make $15/hr, which is what 90% of entry-level jobs in my area pay (Indiana). I make just enough to split rent with a roommate and pay for utilities, food, and gas. I don’t have extra money at all. I pray my clothes don’t get ruined because I simply don’t have enough to buy new ones. I hold my breath every time I start my shitty car, praying it starts and gets me to work or school because if it broke down, I wouldn’t have enough money to fix it. I don’t know what the solution to the wealth inequality problem is, but I know from experience a $15/hr minimum wage won’t solve anything.

Im now 27 years old. And I can only say that I understand why people kill themselves. Ive never worked a job that I have really enjoyed. Ever. Every single job I wake up in the morning sick to my stomach with butterflies of just anxiety and nerves thinking about how im going to make it through to day. School sucks so needless to say I never finished my degree. On top of this, how does anyone even slightly afford going to college? It is just the biggest scam that is right in front of your face. So it seems that from this point forward I am going to just dedicate 40 hours a week to a company and a job I absolutely dread for the foreseeable future. Cant get decent insurance without a full time job so there is that. I have a mortgage to pay now. My parents are getting older and I just dont even know how I am going to handle it when they aren't around anymore. I just dont even understand what the point is of life? I feel like I am just living each day just in autopilot with no enjoyment or intent of anything joyful. I have a bunch of friends that I moved away from 5 years ago and have a few friends where I live now. None of that brings me any joy at all. I think i'm just beyond the normal level of depressed. I always think that I want to just die but then I get scared about it and just kind of shake it off. But really at the end of the day, why am I even here? I just dont even understand what the point is.

My nursing job prefers you put in a 4 week notice. I plan to submit my letter of resignation June 1 and my last day of work will be June 29.
I’m pretty sure I’m calculating my PTO correctly between how much I have now, how much I will still be earning, and already approved time off.
At the end of it all I would have just over 60 hours of PTO left which I could take off another 5 days since our shifts are 12 hours.
My question is… is it frowned upon to use up your PTO hours before your last day of work? I want to avoid using my PTO by calling in because that is definitely a crappy thing to do since I’d be leaving the unit short on a moment’s notice. But if I had some shifts off that are already approved they’d be able to plan better to keep the unit well staffed.
Basically I just need to know would they view me as a bad/lazy person for wanting to actually use my remaining PTO hours in the best way I could rather than having them pay out my remaining PTO since I’d only get 90% pay out and it’s taxed very highly anyway?
Any advice helps, thank you in advance!

I have good credit cus my parents were smart and I have j think 780 last time I checked, only ever my Amazon card and suntrrust card always pay them off in time.
I’m a student full-time and decided that I wanted to start a side job with 2 buddies renting water sports stuff like kayaks paddle boards small skiffs with easy to use electric motor, and also do like tours but I’m not gonna be generating much money because it’s a part-time gig. what credit cards would you recommend for that? I have a credit card now it’s Truist one but it caps out at 2k limit will this one too?i make a little over 2500 a month currently (I’m a student still we get payed shit)
Will be renting out a storage unit 45$ in my apartment complex to hold the inflatable things and then renting a garage in the future (4 months) to hold the jet skits I plan on getting.
My biggest concern is when cards say 4% back in gas does that include boat gas?

I work in a government department and currently have a manager who is seconded to my area. We have had our issues in the last 8 months which has resulted in complaints to upper management, stress leave etc. he is generally unliked across the whole department. It has been told to me by his managers that “he is the manager, we pay him to manage and you need to respect that” so I have pulled back from doing any extra hours, or work that I would be doing to be helpful that’s not within my normal job description.
I need to note I am not in a management / or team leader position.
It has come to my attention that he has been working on an organisational restructure (I think it has been an thing across many departments) but in this new restructure he has me reporting to him and all lower staff reporting to me while other staff (3-4) at the same level and job as me only report to him with no direct reports.
Can this be done without consulting me? (He has not spoken to me about this at all but to other people about me) Can I disagree with this change?
If they re classify the position to a higher level then that’s a different story - but can they leave it as is and then expect just one of the 4-5 staff on the same level to be in charge of staff and not the others.
I am very close to approaching HR on other issues with this manager but am scared to start this fight.

Hey guys, today i received my admit from USC for Masters in Computer Science while i already accepted the admit from NEU by paying the deposit amount.
I am aware of the huge alumni of USC and its rankings in the market, but also about the fees for the complete course.
I actually wanted help from you guys to make a decision for the same, as i believe in such economy a co-op from NEU might be a pro at the same time the brand name of USC too might prove helpful.
I am slightly inclined towards NEU, but am still confused and so thought maybe some pointers can help.
I am looking wrt Job, study, TA/RA opportunities while selecting a particular Uni.
​
Thanks in Advance

As the title suggests. I quit my job a month ago because I gave in to a very stupid reason for putting in my two weeks. I won’t get into that reason but I left with zero jobs lined up and severely regret it. I haven’t slept well, I’ve been over eating, and generally doing nothing besides putting in applications and having anxiety over the regret. I loved my job, I loved the people I worked with, and this whole decision was idiotic of me.
It’s too soon to call my job back but either way I feel like I am going to look so dumb if they let me back on after only a month of being gone. People have been gone for that amount of time before at my work but it was never because of resigning, it was always due to emergencies or PTO. I know everyone, at the end of the day, would appreciate me being back over me being gone because I was dependable enough but I just cannot shake the shame over how soon it is. If I wanted to come back so soon I should’ve just taken a vacation instead of wiping all my credentials.
I’m not the only person in the universe who’s left a job just to call back for a potential re-hire but I have so much general embarrassment just as a person that I feel like my coworkers will hate me over the fact that I literally shouldn’t have quit if I was going to just come back after a month. It’s been the longest month of my life and I’m not a person who should be unemployed at all.
I’m going to bite my shame by the 15th of April and call to see if they’ll hire me again. I’ve already decided on that but I cannot believe I did this to myself at all. There’s 8 billion people on this planet and I keep reminding myself I’m not the only one who’s pulled this shit but I still feel alone.

I am 29M, UK. I have a good job, professional career and family but they are both being impacted by constant anxiety that does not let up at all from morning until night - it’s exhausting!
I have tried SSRI’s and SNRI’s, all of them unfortunately have not worked for me, I gave SSRI’s a long time to work and I have just ended my week long journey on a SNRI (Cymbalta) - the anxiety I experience when on them is tremendously worse that before I even took them - and it just doesn’t go away, ever.
I can somewhat manage without the antidepressants but with them it makes everything so much more difficult.
I was wondering if anyone has found something other than antidepressants to help? I am exhausted and just want to find something that works.
Thank you in advance.

Hey I really need help I’ve been sextorted on Wizz I was talking to who I thought was a girl thinking we were going to exchange nudes and it ended up going into Instagram and then they were threatening to send the pictures of me edited saying I’m a pedophile and that I raped a 10year old to death to everyone I know on Instagram.it moved to iMessage and I had already sent them my very last $15 trying to get them to stop but they want $500 with $100 every week. I have no job I know it’s pathetic but I’m trying but I literally have no money and I really don’t want them to expose me. I’ve contacted some websites and should have an expert call me soon but I just want to know if there’s anything else I can do. Should I take screenshots of things they said? They deleted their Wizz account idk what to do they still have insta and imessage. I know I’ve made a wretched mistake and I feel terrible I don’t want to lose my girlfriend I don’t know why I was even doing something like this in the first place please help.

This is a bit of a long post, I’m sorry in advance.
To preface this, my (f25) dad has worked at the school for almost 5 years. Our dean, is one of my dads best friends other than another instructor there. (Obviously a good rapport with the others but not as close). When I first started schooling/classes in December after my birthday I got really close with everyone my father worked around and had about 12 hours there (except for my 6pm-11pm class at another campus).
We became friends as well and all of the instructors looked out for me while I was there alone walking through shops. It’s a technical trade school btw. (Not uti, sorry but we make fun of them because of the simple implication.) I’m also in the small percentile of females that take courses there if that adds some context.
So every night after I got out of class and drove two minutes back to the other main campus, I’d sit with my dad until he locked his classroom down, turn the lights off, etc. and we went to the deans office and talked to him about cars and music the rest of the night. Needless to say I was very attached to all of them in a fatherly aspect since they saw me as a daughter to look after.
So there was this guy/student. We’ll call him shitfuck. My dad had mentioned he was weird and I kind of laughed it off. I had just finished my mid course exam on my second class, so I was back at the main campus early that evening. And I was just headed to the bathroom when he caught me and started talking to me. At first I was like, okay, lemme hear him out. He’s a 6’2ft dude that’s 40yrs old. He started off mentioning that I should “expand my mind” by getting into knitting and origami. Okay, weird but good intentions right? 45 fucking minutes later and he’s already been over working in a balloon factory and his inspiration for a motivational book series named after different worms.
I just thought he was maybe autistic and different, like hell yeah I’ll hear you out if no one else wants to. He obviously wasn’t a hoot with the 18-20 year olds in his classes.
So the dean had already had to kick him out of the shop because he didn’t have a work order to put his personal vehicle in the shop. So it happened about 7/8 times. He didn’t like him nor vice versa. They joked for a while about my “buddy shitface”. The dean even mentioned that he was either highly disfunctioning or highly intelligent that he was unable to socialize.
Fast forward to last week. It was hump day. Like I said, I start classes at 6pm so I usually charge my laptop at my dads campus and then get to the other campus by 5. I was hanging out with my (now) boyfriend in his car and he suddenly got a text from his instructor (he takes classes at 7:30pm) “Don’t come to class tonight. It’s cancelled.” And at first I was like, “well he is part time, so maybe he just can’t make it tonight.”
Not 3/4 minutes later my dad texts me saying, “there has been an incident. Excuse yourself and come over here.”
This is when the strong uneasiness set in and I was like, “oh fuck.” I hugged him and told him I’d let him know what was happening. Before I left the car he got a message saying “bay 3 was a crime scene”. And then I really was like… “shit a car fell on a student or something”
No. Shitface had his car on the servo, in the same place I had talked to him the night before because he wanted me to lathe a copper dowel for him for some plant photosynthesis that he wanted to market to Home Depot’s or some shit. AGAIN no work order.
He wanted to replace the Freon in his A/C unit that was not working. One of the instructors said that was silly to waste money to do that when it wasn’t going to work? He then got in his face arms out almost touching nose to nose. He was worked up obviously (instructor), and went to the deans office where my dad and another instructor were talking about the upcoming car show in July.
My dad and the other instructor, let’s call him Will, which is a veteran from Afghanistan, like a lot of students there, took him outside to cool off while the dean said “I’ll talk to him in a minute”.
A few minutes later Will gets two back to back calls from another female student. She said, “You have to get to bay 3. Someone was attacked and they’re unconcious on the ground.” Poor girl, only 18 and had her back turned until it was going down.
Shitface was approached by the dean and and this guy, lemme tell you. About 5’5ft, 150lbs, totally a passive guy that cares about his students. That’s his job right? But he took that to another level. Has his hands in his pockets, and says, “man you don’t have a work order, unhook and get it out of the shop.” That would be all, right?
No. As he turned to walk away he punched him, knocking him down. Then shitface grabbed a 20lb metal ramp plate and placed it onto his chest and proceeded to throw his body onto it. I later found out he was actually jumping onto it. He was actually trying to kill him. Our cameras unfortunately don’t work in the shop so we relied on one kid that was videoing it until he saw him throw the metal plate down (the weapon), and then threw his phone down to tackle and put him into a choke hold. It was unsuccessful but by then other students joIned in to restrain him and the police were called, conveniently the station was just down the street.
The dude that I previously thought was just weird, possibly autistic at a high functioning level, was just completely psychotic. Dude had 13-14 previous convictions of assault but our school didn’t do background checks for legal purposes.
Our dean was lucky to not have any internal bleeding or brain swelling. He was bleeding from his eyes, ears, nose and mouth. My 60yr old has a hard head that’s for sure. Never went into a coma either. When I visited him in ICU that following Friday I thought in my head he was going to look worse in my mind. I walked in to his son holding his hand reassuring me that he could hear me. Through his fractured and bruised eyes he tried to look at me when I talked to him. I didn’t find out until later that he had completely shattered his jaw.
Like my dad said through teary eyes, “I hate the anger and power he has over me. I can’t help but feel so bad about what I want to do to the motherfucker.” Which every single instructor and student that knew him feels the same exact way. I’m a pretty small woman and I would’ve attacked him and seen red immediately.
I just had share and also be thankful that it’s a miracle nothing worse, (in hindsight to the situation), with what happened to him. Due to the swelling and multiple face fractures, he had a breathing tube in, but they recently took it out and he is actually out of ICU and in an actual room. his road to recovery will be long, but I swear to God, I will be in the court room to see his sentencing. He deserves nothing more and nothing less. I hope he becomes a prison bitch.
My dad told me when they cuffed him he was standing there so nonchalant. He told me, “girl, you’ve seen the face of crazy.”, and I believe no truer words have been spoken.
Sorry for my long post.

Michael goes to court with Katherine & Joe
Judge Rodney Melville in a ruling allowed past allegations to enter the Jackson trial facilitating the jurors to hear of allegations brought forth by five other boys from the early 90s, as the prosecution states. Although the prosecution introduced seven such accusers originally, the judge dropped two of them with no reasons given.
DA Sneddon said one boy from the five earlier cases will come forward and his mother will also testify. That case involved a boy who was allegedly was involved in a 1990 incident and received a $2.4 million settlement from Jackson in 1994.
The prosecution promises to put a host of witnesses on stand to give testimony about Jackson's inappropriate behavior towards these accusers. Defense attorney Mesereau asked Judge Melville to exclude these testimonies claiming that the information is coming from third parties and noted where a former Jackson employee who sued the entertainer in the past, lost and was told to pay $ 1 Million to Jackson in damages. "How can you just allow a parade of third-party characters to come in without any victims?" Mesereau asked during arguments.
Of the five boys who were as the prosecution asserts was molested by Jackson in the past include actor and long-time Jackson friend Macaulay Culkin. "There's Macaulay Culkin who has repeatedly said he was never molested", Mesereau said. The actor has repeatedly and vehemently denied any wrongdoing or inappropriate behavior towards him by MJ.
The district attorney also promised testimony from the mother of a boy who reached a multimillion-dollar settlement with Jackson in 1993. Here, the accuser or the alleged victim as the prosecution states will not take the stand.
The ruling on Monday came with fierce opposition from defense attorney Mesereau who urged the judge to consider evidence that has been presented so far in the current case against Jackson. "You have to consider what the case looks like," he said. "It looks real bad and it's going to get worse. You can't stop the defense from putting on a full-blown defense and I mean just that."
Although prior allegations brought against a defendant is not usually admissible in criminal cases, the legislature in California was changed in 1995 and exceptions were granted specifically in sexual molestation and domestic violence cases.
Jackson was not present during the arguments but arrived later to the cheer of fans gathered outside the courthouse.
After the ruling, comedian George Lopez took the stand and told about helping the current accuser, that was then battling cancer. Lopez said he came to believe the boy's father was more interested in money than helping his son. He testified the father accused the comedian of stealing $300 from the boy's wallet.
Lopez said he finally cut off the family because of the father's frequent and aggressive requests for help. When the father asked what he was supposed to tell his son, Lopez testified that he responded: "Tell him his father's an extortionist."
The defense contends Lopez and a guest comedian at the Jamie Masada owned Laugh Factory, is among celebrities who were targeted by the accuser's family in schemes to make money. But prosecutors contend that any such schemes were the work of the boy's father, who is now divorced from the mother.

Let me just say first that ChatGPT is very useful for giving advice to people, and automating certain tasks by doing the boring parts. It is also just fun to play with, just like your internet friend.
But, the thing is that ChatGPT threatens to replace some of the jobs, which are for people with no school experience. They end up unemployed, and they cannot afford school, so they remain unemployed. Also, even the higher payed jobs are being threatened by ChatGPT, which will reduce the salary of every single person, since ChatGPT can handle the tasks that is worth so much money.
So, ChatGPT has more disadvantages than advantages, and will increase unemployment rate. Change my view.
