I'm a city carrier and I'm seeing a lot of this RRECS talk which is I believe is basically inspection for rural routes but it sounds to me its done very differently than the city side.

Current location: VHCOL (San Francisco)
Current salary, including bonus, benefits, & perks: $260k base, $53k bonus, $260k RSUs (private company), 3 meals/weekday, free car service within SF and to/from airport
Age and/or years in the workforce: 30 years old, 7.5 years in workforce
Brief description of your current position: I code, write papers, set project direction for my team, give talks at conferences
Degrees/certifications, if any, and whether they're applicable to your current position (Also mention how/how much you paid for these and how they've been helpful.): I have a bachelor's in math and master's in CS. I went to a private college that had good financial aid, so they covered my tuition except for $18k in government student loans which I paid off within a few months at my first job. I paid for my master's degree by being a teaching assistant. I taught undergrad linear algebra for three semesters (2 lectures/week, writing homework, writing exam questions, grading, and holding office hours). This paid me a grad student stipend and covered my tuition.
A complete history of jobs leading up to your current position. Include job title + salary (hourly wage, if applicable) with each step of your salary story, along with job description/duties, and whether you negotiated for pay raises/promotions in that role.
2011: Lab assistant, $9.25/hr. Freshman year of college. This was a campus job where I worked in a wet lab, pipetting stuff. I was extremely bad at it. I would pipette 1 mL instead of 1 μL and ruin everyone's experiments. I once centrifuged some glass test tubes (should have used plastic tubes), and the glass shattered all over this 10k machine. My postdoc tried to fire me by telling me to go home and don't come back. I didn't know what to do when he said this and felt super awkward but also didn't want to go home so I just stayed and continue doing the job, and we just never spoke about it again.
2012: Intern, $4,000/month. Sophomore summer. I honestly didn't know what the hell this internship was going to be like when I applied, and it turned out to be the only internship offer I got that year so I took it. I remember the interview being like some guy calling me on the phone and asking what my favorite class was, and then after the call I got an acceptance email to my inbox. The company was this early stage software ideation company that spins up startups and then sells them to some business school types to build a customer base, hire permanent employees, etc. I worked with two other interns, and for the whole summer we just sat in a room just thinking of ideas we could build. We ended up coming up with an app idea where people could list trash they were going to throw out that day, like furniture, so other people could swing buy and pick it up before trash got collected. Facebook marketplace before that became a thing, I guess. I didn't know how to code so I kind of just played with Python while the other interns made the app. I think it got profiled on TechCrunch a few months later, which caused it to crash and then never recovered.
2013: Finance internship, $6,000/month. Junior year summer. I learned about sales and trading, but I wasn't a very good intern (was chronically late which is apparently! very! important! in finance), so I didn't get a return offer. The internship was very fun though because the company put a lot of effort into making the experience memorable. We played a lot of poker as part of "work," sat front row at a Mets baseball game, and the full timers even brought all the underaged interns to strip clubs but that was totally down low (not a sanctioned event).
2014: Software internship, $9,000/month. Senior year summer. I actually programmed a lot during this internship. I basically learned to program during this internship. I also played a lot of foosball. I did get a return offer this time.
2014-2016: Teaching assistant. $3,000/month + tuition. I taught linear algebra to overachieving undergrads. It was supposed to be a 20 houweek job because I was *technically* supposed to spend the other 20 hours doing coursework + writing my thesis for my master's degree, but it was easily over 40 hours total between 2x/week lectures, writing homework, grading homework, writing exams, grading exams, holding office hours, replying to emails, and comforting anxious students. It did get easier in subsequent semesters as you get the hang of teaching and have last semester's coursework to fall back on, but it is easily the hardest job I've ever done. I got pretty average to below average student reviews, but they still renewed my contract for three semesters which I was happy about because I didn't want to have to borrow money to finish my master's.
2016-2017: Finance job. $150k/year salary + $28k/year bonus. I tried to negotiate my salary with the argument that "I need to pay off student loans," but they wouldn't budge because "everyone got paid the same." I only stayed for 8 months because I hated it (really toxic all-male environment), but when I left I got a nice 6 months of "garden leave" which is where they pay you your base salary (not including bonus) to not work.
2017-2020: Statistician. $130k/year base salary (2017) which increased to $150k/year base salary (2020) + $150k/year stock + $10k/year bonus. I did negotiate my salary on this, from $115k/year base salary -> $130k/year base salary and $120k/year stock -> $150k/year stock. The stock was private when I joined but went public sometime in the last 5 years, so it wasn't completely paper money. This job included other perks like lunch and snacks, and if I stayed past 7pm I could order DoorDash and expense it. I did get small inflation raises but the stock stayed more or less constant. I got laid off in 2020, so I got 3 months of severance + 1 month of stock and also claimed unemployment for as long as I could.
2020-2021: Research engineer. $200k/year base salary + $150k/year stock + $30k signing bonus + 18% pro rata bonus. The negotiation process for this company was super weird. The initial offer was $200k/year + $100k/year stock + NO signing bonus. I asked if this was negotiable and the recruiter said this was "the highest offer she could make" and anything else was "impossible and needs to be escalated to a VP which could take several days blah blah," but if they could get $130k/year stock would I sign immediately? They basically made me pre-sign a contract saying if they got that offer, I would agree to join the company. Then a couple hours later they replied saying not only did they get approval for my request, they bumped it up to $200k/year base salary + $150k/year stock + $30k signing bonus. At this point I felt rather manipulated (like clearly it wasn't such a big deal after all), and my (male) friend got SUPER annoyed and said the recruiter tricked me to not negotiate when I could have. Anyway, I ended up joining anyway because I really liked the company.
Other perks: 3 meals on weekdays, barista during working hours, free car service around city limits, and 50% 401k matching. You have the option of going fully remote without any salary adjustment, but I like going to the office. The stock is private, but they do have a buyback program every few years where you can sell your RSUs to them for face value. However, I don't participate in that and even participate in RSU purchase programs so I can put more money into the same company, because I hate diversification apparently.
2022: Same research job, got a raise. $215k/year + $200k/year stock + $40k bonus.
2023: Same research job. Got promoted, so my salary jumped to $260k/year + $260k/year stock + $53k bonus.
Optional: In the spirit of transparency and helpfulness include any of your supporters (family, spouse, network, other women - anonymously of course), things and people that kept you going, or inspired you, books, boot camps, podcasts, networking groups, etc. Also share your struggles, if you ever felt like giving up, if you were underpaid or are still underpaid, if you had to reskill, were laid off, or struggled to find work. Tell us about your work/life balance over time and challenges or changes in priorities.
Definitely my parents. If I ever lost my job or my money, I know I can move in with them into my old room indefinitely, and I know they would be really happy to have me. Also, my parents would have supported me through college if they had to. Thankfully they didn't have to (because my college had great financial aid), but they were prepared to sell their house and move to an apartment to pay for my tuition.
After that, various men I've dated throughout the years also supported me I guess? Like in college I had a bit of a spending problem and once had to "borrow" $5,000 from my then-boyfriend to pay off credit cards 😬 I still spend a LOT (almost all of my paycheck not including stock/bonus). I put borrow in quotes because I never ended up paying it back, I let him live in my apartment for a few months when he was between apartments and just said "well I guess we'll just write that off as the rent you owe me" lol.
I don't think I'm underpaid. I'm overpaid compared to how hard everybody else in the world works. My work life balance is fine, albeit a little all over the place. For example, on Weds-Fri I usually work between 10am to 3pm, then I go exercise for 2 hours, have dinner, and maybe work 2-3 more hours after that, but not always. Recently my job has been super stressful though, because I've being pushed more and more into a product management role. As an introvert, I prefer to just...code and do technical work rather than talk to people. I keep wavering between quitting or trying to find a new job first.
During the pandemic I worked a LOT, easily 12 hours/day, because there was nothing else to do and nowhere to go.
Feel free to include as much or little as you like to tell your Salary Story.

Richie Neal Corruption Now in District in Real Time.
Ed Ryan for Mayor of Springfield to end Richie Neal and Friends from Robbing and Impoverishing Springfield like a Greed Sick Crew of White Supremist Racist. Springfield City Hall has been under the Control of Richie Neal Corruption for too long. Mayor Sarno lies to the people adulating Neal as Sarno Presides over Massachusetts Poorest City , a place where over 50,00 people now Languish in poverty. Ed Ryan Promises to appoint a Co-Mayor, A Vibrant Young Leader from Springfield's Ignored and Impoverished Hispanics Community and Eds Ryan Donate Half His Mayoral Salary to Pay him as Ed Ryan is all about Establishing Real Racial, Economic and Social Justice that will Stimulate prosperity as Ed Ryan's project to Build a World Class Sister UMASS Campus in the Heart of Springfield will bring prosperity and Make Springfield an Academic and Art destination. This I promised do my best to Attain and I have little Doubt Springfield will be denied as the truth comes out that the UMASS President ( Marty Meehan the ex-congressman and extremely close friend of Richie Neal most likely knew about and assisted with the RICO Criminal Conspiracy in the Alex Morse UMASS Hate Smear, a dirty hate crime that violated Federal Election and Civil Rights laws while destroying the people’s faith in Democracy, goes uninvestigated by an FBI that is a secret police organization wrongly emmeshed in American political system protecting Corporate Democrats from any Prosecution for the often racist and hate Corruption and Corporate Pay for play that enriches and empowers Congressman like Richie Neal to now go forth at Ways and Means and write tax law after tax law that allows the Millionaires who have bought our congress, to continued not paying taxes as in the 2021 Richie Neal refusal of Bidens request to eliminate the 'step up' capital gains tax loophole used to pass down too heirs untaxed wealth at death. This Tax loophole still being used thanks to Richie Neal being bought off and denying Bidens request, and cities like Springfield, festering in poverty, are being denied by Richie Neal corruption the money needed to begin to cure this unholy, diabolically constructed mess, that is destroying the lives of so many good people. My friends, Teflon Richie Neal Corruption needs to go to jail, full stop period. Things are ugly as thousands of people, mostly of color, are thrusted into horrible lives of poverty ,thanks to Richie Neal and Friend’s Corruption in the form of these criminals literally Pillaging Springfield, and the entire district, over 30 plus year span. This Crime onto Humanity needs to end. Hopefully, things will get better soon as Ed Ryan, runs for, and is elected to Mayor of Springfield. In the spirit of always trying to do the right thing, Ed Ryan now promises to use half his mayoral salary to pay the salary of a co-mayor that Ryan will appoint from Springfield’s forgotten Hispanic community.
Yes, the story is sickening, our Hispanic brothers and sisters, and so many others in Springfield, have been buried under a slash pile of corruption that Richie Neal and friend's, like Springfield Mayor Dominic Sarno, Atty Jim Roosevelt and UMASS President, Marty Meehan (the guy who sees fit to pay a Football Coach over $850'000 per season rather than investing a dime in the great City of Springfield),and Springfield Power Law Firm Buckley Richardson's Atty Melinda Phelps, who acts as a racist administering housing grants in Springfield issued by Rich Neal to be used to stop low class minority encroachment into middle class neighborhoods. This are high end well educated people in powerful positions pretending their doing right, when, in reality their bunch of greed sick bigoted racist who need to learn what the inside of a jail cell looks like when door clangs behind you. Yes, my friends, no wonder their is so much apathy, as people trust their leaders less and less. And to top it off, the FBI now protects the Corporate Democrats so they can get a cut a cut of the corporate cash flowing like the champaign fountain at a Donald Trump wedding. And you will learn more of the sordid details as you read in the Sludge account below. But know this, it still goes on today in real time as Congressman Richie Neal recently issued a series of 2023 grant letters to a bunch of cohorts across district. Besides supplying grant money payola in the form of funding at least 10 non-essential projects across the district at a time when the cities die in poverty, Richie Neal now ‘gets down’ with his Catholic Church masters issuing a 2 million dollar grant to the Elms College to paint the yellowed walls of Catholic Church Property. Yes, in a certain scheme to allow Richie Neal and his bag men, along with the Bishop, with crews of tight lipped white collared priest, to loot the 2 million dollar slush fund with a papal kick-back designed by Vatican. If I am wrong, then ‘my bad’ but my gut is churning, and it is rarely wrong. So give me a break Richie Neal, you now enrich the same crew of sickos who allowed at least two bishops and an multiple of priest to damage untold number of boys with their twisted pedophile predilection. And now we see a Cardinal or Bishop in NYC paying lobbyist 2 million dollars to loosen up the child sexual assault laws so that priests and bishops, and others, can continue their sick ways fearless of being prosecuted. That's a fact Jack. Catholic Priest pedophile sexual abuse of boys is still going on today, and you ,Richie Neal ,and your Buddies at the Springfield Law Firm of Egan and Flanagan, the church lawyers, profit off it, as you do your best to help sweep this sick reality under the rug. In doing so the Church will continue to whisper support of you to the loyal flock members , and fund dark money PACS to destroy your opponents with Alex More Like Hate Smears. And All this warped corruption allows you to continue con folks with Irish Catholic phony piety. You sir are a dangerous corrupt bigot, says Ed Ryan. Yes, Ed Ryan was addicted, in the gutter years ago, but now, healed by adhering to Existentialist principles of not believing any Bible based superstition sold by the church because falsehood as truth corrupts logical intellectual abilities. So I am a godless atheist who is now, fully transparent, and serious as a heart attack about always doing the right. Thus I now adhere to the most important existentialist tenant, that being to defeat evil as best I can when I met up with it, and I have met it in learning about you along with the jam packed ongoing crew along for the ride ion the criminal concern you that you king pin. So I will l now singlehandedly, make sure that the Elms College does not see dime of that 2 million dollars on the table, even if have to sue in Federal court on the principle of separation of Church and state, or call the Pope and telling him what’s up. But, I’m sure he already knows as 2million is a worthy, holy chunk of change, even for a pointed hatted pope, sore in the elbows from waving at the hordes of brainwashed victims of church religiosity, That’s my promise mister, and know this, you are in a Donnybrook, and I am going to Donnybrook your corrupt butt, out of Congress. This I promise. ed ryan

Richard Neal’s Inner Circle of Corporate Lobbyists and Real Estate Developers, from Sludge Friends, family, and staff of Rep. Richard Neal have all benefited from the revolving door linking Springfield and K Street, at great cost to Massachusetts residents Neal, in his 16th term, finds himself in a single-digit race against progressive Holyoke mayor Alex Morse, according to two recent polls. On August 19, Rep. Richard Neal’s powerful D.C. lawyer Brian Svoboda sent a cease and desist letter to local news station WWLP-22, in Massachusetts’s First Congressional District. An outside ad had been hammering the incumbent over his record of taking more money from corporations than any other member of Congress. Writing on behalf of Neal, Svoboda claimed that the ad, from Justice Democrats, conflates taking “money from corporations”—a felony under federal law—with taking money from corporate PACs. The legal counsel for Justice Democrats described the letter as “not valid from a legal perspective.” ADVERTISING The letter comes as Neal, in his 16th term, finds himself in a single-digit race against progressive Holyoke mayor Alex Morse, according to two recent polls. The primary is on Tuesday. Semantics aside—and he is in fact the single largest recipient of corporate (PAC) dollars in all of Congress—Neal has used his powerful position as chair of the Ways and Means Committee to grease a revolving door that shepherds friends, family, and staffers between his office and the lobbyist firms that advocate on behalf of his biggest donors. Before threatening a local news provider with legal action, Neal made no small effort to conceal his fealty to the powerful special interest groups funding his campaign, corporate interests that have a dramatic impact on the lives of his constituents. More from Daniel Bogus law For example, Neal’s former legislative director Melissa Mueller has taken to lobbying for organizations that have donated considerable sums to the Neal campaign this year. At Capitol Tax Partners, Mueller took in $460,000 from Verizon, insurance companies like Northwestern Mutual Life, and big energy firms like NextEra and Terra-Gen Power. In 2020 alone, corporations compensating Mueller for her lobbying efforts donated over $290,000 to Neal’s campaign. After twenty years in Rep. Neal’s office, former chief of staff Ann Jabulon also began working as a lobbyist at Capital Counsel, a bipartisan D.C. lobbying firm, in 2016. Public lobbying disclosures show that in 2020, Jabulon’s firm received over one million dollars in income from the same hospital, pharmaceutical, and doctors’ associations that have donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Neal’s campaign this cycle. Notable among them is the American Medical Group Association, which opposed legislation that would have curbed surprise billing that Neal ultimately killed and Jabulon lobbied against. The surprise-billing fiasco has damaged lives across the country, including those in Massachusetts. The surprise-billing fiasco has damaged lives across the country, including those in Massachusetts. A review of over 330 pages of complaints to the Massachusetts Attorney General’s office, obtained by the group Fight Corporate Monopolies, reveals the way numerous patients have been victimized by unexpected medical bills in the state. Time and again, Massachusetts patients check and double-check that they would not be hit with an out-of-network change for anesthesiologists, radiologists, or emergency room doctors, are told everything will be fine, and still end up owing thousands of dollars. One patient treated at Sturdy Memorial Hospital in Attleboro, Massachusetts, got a bill from “Rhode Island Imaging,” for having their radiologist read X-rays. When the patient questioned “why someone at Sturdy would be billing separately by a Rhode Island company, I was told ‘That’s just the way it is.’” Another patient went for a colonoscopy at Cooley Dickinson Hospital in Northampton because that was listed “in network” on her insurance company Cigna’s app. The bill from Cigna then stated “that Cooley Dickinson was out of network … I owed $1,730.06.” The same thing happened to a patient in Salem, who was assured before getting a mammogram that the services would be in network but found out later that the radiologist was not. A fourth patient from Waltham received a $4,321 bill for an out-of-network anesthesiologist. A fifth from Somerville had to pay $5,557.78 for an out-of-network doctor. A sixth from Newton racked up over $10,000 in charges from out-of-network healthcare providers, after confirming that the doctor was in-network. Trade groups representing hospitals, radiologists, and anesthesiologists have devoted over $600,000 to Neal’s effort, both through direct funding to the Neal campaign and third-party spending. WHILE NEAL’S FORMER EMPLOYEES have turned to lobbying, former lobbyists have in turn joined Neal’s staff. Picking up where Mueller left off, Neal’s deputy chief of staff on the House Ways and Means Committee, Elizabeth O’Hara, previously spent six years lobbying for O’Hara Federal Strategies, where her father now serves as principal. One of O’Hara Federal Strategies’ chief clients is Norfolk Southern, which has donated more than $25,000 to Neal over the last four election cycles. In between her former role as Neal’s legislative director and her current role as Senior Counsel to the Ways and Means Committee, Peg McGlinchey lobbied on behalf of Deloitte, Baxter Healthcare, PhRMA, Baxalta, and AmerisourceBergen. Combined, these companies have donated some $52,000 to Neal since 2014. Beyond friends and staffers, a member of Neal’s nuclear family has also come to benefit from the tremendous power that flows from the gavel of the Ways and Means Committee. Neal has also supported the endeavors of friends in addition to congressional staff. Melinda Phelps, head of the government strategies group at the powerful Springfield law firm Bulley Richardson, is also a former member of Neal’s mayoral campaign and a close friend of Neal’s. Phelps sits on multiple boards that have received donations from Neal. Data compiled by the Center For Responsive Politics for the Prospect shows that one of the boards that Phelps sits on, The Spirit of Springfield, has received $15,355 from Neal’s Congressional committee. While Spirit of Springfield is a civic pride organization, Develop Springfield, a privately funded development non-profit where Phelps serves as vice chair, has also received help from Neal. The congressman has written multiple times to the Springfield Community Preservation Committee advocating for public subsidies for private developments supported by the group. Neal has appeared at Develop Springfield events, and touts his record securing federal matching for their projects. None of the projects listed on Develop Springfield’s website mention low-income housing or community-based development, despite their requests for taxpayer dollars intended for projects that “preserve the character of the community.” This falls in line with Phelps’ statements describing community development projects as “encroachments” on middle-class neighborhoods. Phelps’s law firm Bulley Richardson has received $1,800 for “fundraising,” per Center For Responsive Politics records, and hosted a pre-gala VIP reception with Neal last year. Phelps also attended a Spirit of Springfield fundraiser co-chaired by Neal and MassMutual CEO Roger Crandall, although photo galleries on MassLive covering both events disappeared from their site, displaying an “internal server error” message, after the Prospect began contacting sources as part of its investigation into Phelps last week. The removal of the photos comes on the heels of The Intercept’s reporting on the tilted local media coverage of the MA-01 race. As of Sunday, the galleries seem to have been restored. Beyond friends and staffers, a member of Neal’s nuclear family has also come to benefit from the tremendous power that flows from the gavel of the Ways and Means Committee. As The Intercept reported earlier this month, Neal’s son Brendan was able to secure a lucrative lobbying job with Trestle Energy, a California-based biofuel company, after Neal helped the biofuel industry win a $3 billion dollar tax credit. As Lee Fang wrote, “The legislative gift followed a series of PAC donations from the largest ethanol and biofuel companies in America to Neal’s campaign, a tradition that enriches the campaign war chests of most legislators on the tax-writing committee.” Total biofuel industry donations to Neal this cycle are over $20,000. In addition to taking biofuel money, Neal has also advanced legislation that would give massive tax incentives to biomass energy providers like the embattled Palmer Renewable Energy, which has fought a prolonged battle with activist groups and city councilors to build a wood-burning biomass plant in East Springfield. Already suffering from the highest rates of asthma in the country, Springfield residents have raised the alarm over the plant’s potential to worsen public health, a sentiment that activists and local politicians have echoed. In 2010 Palmer Paving, whose owners the Callahans are also investors in the east Springfield plant, donated $5,500 to Neal. Between 2012 and 2020 members of the Callahan family donated an additional $2,500.

So I will l now singlehandedly, make sure that the Elms College does not see dime of that 2 million dollars on the table, even if have to sue in Federal court on the principle of separation of Church and state, or call the Pope and telling him what’s up. But, I’m sure he already knows as 2million is a worthy, holy chunk of change, even for a pointed hatted pope, sore in the elbows from waving at the hordes of brainwashed victims of church religiosity, That’s my promise mister, and know this, you are in a Donnybrook, and I am going to Donnybrook your corrupt butt, out of Congress. This I promise. ed ryan

Richard Neal’s Inner Circle of Corporate Lobbyists and Real Estate Developers, from Sludge Friends, family, and staff of Rep. Richard Neal have all benefited from the revolving door linking Springfield and K Street, at great cost to Massachusetts residents Neal, in his 16th term, finds himself in a single-digit race against progressive Holyoke mayor Alex Morse, according to two recent polls. On August 19, Rep. Richard Neal’s powerful D.C. lawyer Brian Svoboda sent a cease and desist letter to local news station WWLP-22, in Massachusetts’s First Congressional District. An outside ad had been hammering the incumbent over his record of taking more money from corporations than any other member of Congress. Writing on behalf of Neal, Svoboda claimed that the ad, from Justice Democrats, conflates taking “money from corporations”—a felony under federal law—with taking money from corporate PACs. The legal counsel for Justice Democrats described the letter as “not valid from a legal perspective.” ADVERTISING The letter comes as Neal, in his 16th term, finds himself in a single-digit race against progressive Holyoke mayor Alex Morse, according to two recent polls. The primary is on Tuesday. Semantics aside—and he is in fact the single largest recipient of corporate (PAC) dollars in all of Congress—Neal has used his powerful position as chair of the Ways and Means Committee to grease a revolving door that shepherds friends, family, and staffers between his office and the lobbyist firms that advocate on behalf of his biggest donors. Before threatening a local news provider with legal action, Neal made no small effort to conceal his fealty to the powerful special interest groups funding his campaign, corporate interests that have a dramatic impact on the lives of his constituents. More from Daniel Bogus law For example, Neal’s former legislative director Melissa Mueller has taken to lobbying for organizations that have donated considerable sums to the Neal campaign this year. At Capitol Tax Partners, Mueller took in $460,000 from Verizon, insurance companies like Northwestern Mutual Life, and big energy firms like NextEra and Terra-Gen Power. In 2020 alone, corporations compensating Mueller for her lobbying efforts donated over $290,000 to Neal’s campaign. After twenty years in Rep. Neal’s office, former chief of staff Ann Jabulon also began working as a lobbyist at Capital Counsel, a bipartisan D.C. lobbying firm, in 2016. Public lobbying disclosures show that in 2020, Jabulon’s firm received over one million dollars in income from the same hospital, pharmaceutical, and doctors’ associations that have donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Neal’s campaign this cycle. Notable among them is the American Medical Group Association, which opposed legislation that would have curbed surprise billing that Neal ultimately killed and Jabulon lobbied against. The surprise-billing fiasco has damaged lives across the country, including those in Massachusetts. The surprise-billing fiasco has damaged lives across the country, including those in Massachusetts. A review of over 330 pages of complaints to the Massachusetts Attorney General’s office, obtained by the group Fight Corporate Monopolies, reveals the way numerous patients have been victimized by unexpected medical bills in the state. Time and again, Massachusetts patients check and double-check that they would not be hit with an out-of-network change for anesthesiologists, radiologists, or emergency room doctors, are told everything will be fine, and still end up owing thousands of dollars. One patient treated at Sturdy Memorial Hospital in Attleboro, Massachusetts, got a bill from “Rhode Island Imaging,” for having their radiologist read X-rays. When the patient questioned “why someone at Sturdy would be billing separately by a Rhode Island company, I was told ‘That’s just the way it is.’” Another patient went for a colonoscopy at Cooley Dickinson Hospital in Northampton because that was listed “in network” on her insurance company Cigna’s app. The bill from Cigna then stated “that Cooley Dickinson was out of network … I owed $1,730.06.” The same thing happened to a patient in Salem, who was assured before getting a mammogram that the services would be in network but found out later that the radiologist was not. A fourth patient from Waltham received a $4,321 bill for an out-of-network anesthesiologist. A fifth from Somerville had to pay $5,557.78 for an out-of-network doctor. A sixth from Newton racked up over $10,000 in charges from out-of-network healthcare providers, after confirming that the doctor was in-network. Trade groups representing hospitals, radiologists, and anesthesiologists have devoted over $600,000 to Neal’s effort, both through direct funding to the Neal campaign and third-party spending. WHILE NEAL’S FORMER EMPLOYEES have turned to lobbying, former lobbyists have in turn joined Neal’s staff. Picking up where Mueller left off, Neal’s deputy chief of staff on the House Ways and Means Committee, Elizabeth O’Hara, previously spent six years lobbying for O’Hara Federal Strategies, where her father now serves as principal. One of O’Hara Federal Strategies’ chief clients is Norfolk Southern, which has donated more than $25,000 to Neal over the last four election cycles. In between her former role as Neal’s legislative director and her current role as Senior Counsel to the Ways and Means Committee, Peg McGlinchey lobbied on behalf of Deloitte, Baxter Healthcare, PhRMA, Baxalta, and AmerisourceBergen. Combined, these companies have donated some $52,000 to Neal since 2014. Beyond friends and staffers, a member of Neal’s nuclear family has also come to benefit from the tremendous power that flows from the gavel of the Ways and Means Committee. Neal has also supported the endeavors of friends in addition to congressional staff. Melinda Phelps, head of the government strategies group at the powerful Springfield law firm Bulley Richardson, is also a former member of Neal’s mayoral campaign and a close friend of Neal’s. Phelps sits on multiple boards that have received donations from Neal. Data compiled by the Center For Responsive Politics for the Prospect shows that one of the boards that Phelps sits on, The Spirit of Springfield, has received $15,355 from Neal’s Congressional committee. While Spirit of Springfield is a civic pride organization, Develop Springfield, a privately funded development non-profit where Phelps serves as vice chair, has also received help from Neal. The congressman has written multiple times to the Springfield Community Preservation Committee advocating for public subsidies for private developments supported by the group. Neal has appeared at Develop Springfield events, and touts his record securing federal matching for their projects. None of the projects listed on Develop Springfield’s website mention low-income housing or community-based development, despite their requests for taxpayer dollars intended for projects that “preserve the character of the community.” This falls in line with Phelps’ statements describing community development projects as “encroachments” on middle-class neighborhoods. Phelps’s law firm Bulley Richardson has received $1,800 for “fundraising,” per Center For Responsive Politics records, and hosted a pre-gala VIP reception with Neal last year. Phelps also attended a Spirit of Springfield fundraiser co-chaired by Neal and MassMutual CEO Roger Crandall, although photo galleries on MassLive covering both events disappeared from their site, displaying an “internal server error” message, after the Prospect began contacting sources as part of its investigation into Phelps last week. The removal of the photos comes on the heels of The Intercept’s reporting on the tilted local media coverage of the MA-01 race. As of Sunday, the galleries seem to have been restored. Beyond friends and staffers, a member of Neal’s nuclear family has also come to benefit from the tremendous power that flows from the gavel of the Ways and Means Committee. As The Intercept reported earlier this month, Neal’s son Brendan was able to secure a lucrative lobbying job with Trestle Energy, a California-based biofuel company, after Neal helped the biofuel industry win a $3 billion dollar tax credit. As Lee Fang wrote, “The legislative gift followed a series of PAC donations from the largest ethanol and biofuel companies in America to Neal’s campaign, a tradition that enriches the campaign war chests of most legislators on the tax-writing committee.” Total biofuel industry donations to Neal this cycle are over $20,000. In addition to taking biofuel money, Neal has also advanced legislation that would give massive tax incentives to biomass energy providers like the embattled Palmer Renewable Energy, which has fought a prolonged battle with activist groups and city councilors to build a wood-burning biomass plant in East Springfield. Already suffering from the highest rates of asthma in the country, Springfield residents have raised the alarm over the plant’s potential to worsen public health, a sentiment that activists and local politicians have echoed. In 2010 Palmer Paving, whose owners the Callahans are also investors in the east Springfield plant, donated $5,500 to Neal. Between 2012 and 2020 members of the Callahan family donated an additional $2,500.

​
AL North Breakdown:
Again, not much changes. The 4 closest teams from the AL Central remain intact.
​
AL South Breakdown:
A newly formed division. The 2 Texas teams are finally removed from the AL West. Joining them are the Kansas City Royals and the Colorado Rockies who switch leagues. Royals-Rockies could potentially become a good rivalry if both teams get good, could mirror the Broncos-Chiefs rivalry in the NFL.
​
AL West Breakdown:
The 3 Pacific time zone teams (Angels, Athletics and Mariners) remain intact. Joining them would be the Portland Pioneers expansion team. The new Portland team could provide the Mariners an instant rivalry. If the Athletics move to Las Vegas, it would have no effect on this realignment.
​
NATIONAL LEAGUE

NL EAST	NL NORTH	NL SOUTH	NL WEST
New York Mets	Chicago Cubs	Atlanta Braves	Arizona Diamondbacks
Philadelphia Phillies	Cincinnati Reds	Miami Marlins	Los Angeles Dodgers
Pittsburgh Pirates	Milwaukee Brewers	Nashville Stars	San Diego Padres
Washington Nationals	St. Louis Cardinals	Tampa Bay Rays	San Francisco Giants

​
NL East Breakdown:
The 3 northeast corridor teams (Mets, Phillies and Nationals) remain intact. Joining them are the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Phillies and Pirates would get to rekindle their in-state rivalry.
​
NL North Breakdown:
Not much changes. The 4 closest teams from the NL Central remain intact. Keeps the Cubs-Cardinals historical rivalry.
​
NL South Breakdown:
A newly formed division. The 2 southernmost teams from the original NL East (Braves and Marlins), along with the Tampa Bay Rays who switch leagues and the Nashville Stars expansion team would also join this division. The new Nashville team could form an instant rivalry with the Braves. Also, the Rays and Marlins could have an in-state rivalry similar to Astros-Rangers, being placed in the same division.
​
NL West Breakdown:
Not much changes. The 4 closest teams in the NL West remain intact. Keeps the Dodgers-Giants historical rivalry.
​
NEW REGULAR SEASON SCHEDULE:
​
13 games each vs. all 3 division opponents = 39 games
(6 Home & 7 Away vs. each of 2 teams and 7 Home & 6 Away vs. 1 team) or
(7 Home & 6 Away vs. each of 2 teams and 6 Home & 7 Away vs. 1 team)
Rotate extra home game between teams annually.
​
6 games each vs. all 12 non-division opponents within league = 72 games
(3 Home & 3 Away vs. each team)
​
6 games vs. interleague "natural rival" (listed below) = 6 games
(3 Home & 3 Away)
​
3 games each vs. remaining 15 interleague opponents = 45 games
(3 Home vs. each of 8 teams and 3 Away vs. each of 7 teams) or
(3 Home vs. each of 7 teams and 3 Away vs. each of 8 teams)
Rotate venue of each matchup annually.
​
Teams that get an extra home division game would get an extra away interleague series and vice versa.
​
39 games + 72 games + 6 games + 45 games = 162-Game Regular Season
​
INTERLEAGUE "NATURAL RIVALRY" PAIRINGS:

AL TEAM	NL TEAM
New York Yankees	New York Mets
Chicago White Sox	Chicago Cubs
Los Angeles Angels	Los Angeles Dodgers
Baltimore Orioles	Washington Nationals
Oakland Athletics	San Francisco Giants
Cleveland Guardians	Cincinnati Reds
Kansas City Royals	St. Louis Cardinals

Boston Red Sox	Philadelphia Phillies
Detroit Tigers	Pittsburgh Pirates
Toronto Blue Jays	Atlanta Braves
Houston Astros	Miami Marlins
Texas Rangers	Tampa Bay Rays
Colorado Rockies	Nashville Stars
Seattle Mariners	San Diego Padres
Portland Pioneers	Arizona Diamondbacks

If the Athletics relocate to Las Vegas it would instead be:
Arizona Diamondbacks-Las Vegas Athletics
Seattle Mariners-San Francisco Giants
Portland Pioneers-San Diego Padres
Everything else would remain the same.
​
POSTSEASON:
There would be 14 teams total qualifying (7 teams per league).
In each league, the 4 division winners plus 3 wild-cards (best regular season records amongst non-division winners) would qualify for the postseason.
The 4 division winners would be seeded #1-#4 by regular season record.
The 3 wild-cards would be seeded #5-#7 by regular season record.
​
American League Wild-Card Series (ALWCS) & National League Wild-Card Series (NLWCS):
Would be (#2 Seed vs. #7 Seed), (#3 Seed vs. #6 Seed) and (#4 Seed vs. #5 Seed).
The #1 seed would have a bye for this round.
Best-of-3 series.
All games in series would be hosted by the #2, #3 and #4 seeds (division winners) regardless of regular season records and played on 3 consecutive days (Monday-Wednesday) right after the end of the regular season. The #5, #6 and #7 seeds (wild-cards) would get no home games for this round.

Would be (#1 Seed vs. LWCS winner with worst regular season record) and (the 2 remaining LWCS winners vs. each other).
Best-of-5 series (2-2-1 format).
Higher seed would get home-field advantage regardless of regular season records. All of the teams involved in this round would play Game 1 of their respective series on the Friday after the LWCS (the Thursday after the LWCS would be used as a travel day). The remaining games in these series for this round would be staggered accordingly.
​
American League Championship Series (ALCS) & National League Championship Series (NLCS):
LDS winners would square off for league pennants.
Best-of-7 series (2-3-2 format).
Higher seed would get home-field advantage regardless of regular season records.

AL pennant winner and NL pennant winner would square off for the World Series Championship.
Best-of-7 series (2-3-2 format).
Better regular season record would get home-field advantage.

Naming the club 'Def Noodles Comedy Club" is actually genius. Here me out:
'Def Noodles' is already a well known and beloved brand that is well respected by 99% of everyone who recognizes it. It also just happens to double as a logical name for a comedy club in Hollywood. 2 birds, 1 stone.
And for those who aren't familiar with the name; Google adds a neat feature where it shows you the business owners worst moments from their previous career before you actually reach the place you're looking for. (not sure if this is a paid feature that Google offers but its handy to know it can be done if requested.)
Anybody who tells you that it's not smart to open a new business in an industry and city that is already full to the brim is a liar who doesn't want you be successful. Your ego will always be more important than any financial stability. Don't forget that.

Gulltown The Vale of Arryn
The city of Gulltown was a place that Jasper had not found himself staying in often, but for the reason he was here, it was understandable. The Lord Corbray had thought he would be in Heart's Home, in his own bed, but when he opened his eyes, he was greeted to the scenery of the room he stayed in while at the manse in Gulltown. But he had long since been used to waking up in a new place, much as he did when he was living in Ironoaks, a means to appease his grandparents, but he did his duty and learned from the Waynwoods. Yet Jasper was delighted to know it was not all a dream, especially his time with Gretchel Waxley. Gods, he felt a small smile form at the mere thought of her and her wild, but beautiful, laugh. Gods above, he still did not know what he was feeling for her.
The Lord of Heart's Home let loose a large yawn and stood from his bed, bidding a servant of his to bring forth a bath for him. Once he had been cleaned up and dressed, the man descended the stairs, a harp in his hands, and Lady Forlorn at his waist. The blade was a fixture that Jasper was pleased to have in his possession. While his cousin, Ser Jonah, wielded her well, Lady Forlorn belonged in the hands of the Lord Corbray, not some fucking cousin. And most certainly so far from home. Shaking his head of the thoughts, Jasper entered the common room of the manse, taking in the sight of his family.
At a table sat the his sister Alyssa, and his cousin Denys, the two debating something or another, plates of food sitting in front of them, forgotten due to the debate. A low laugh left Jasper but he left the two to their devices, instead, he joined his cousin Artos in the gardens, as the man had decided to take to painting in the early day. The two men sat without conversation, one playing his harp and musing on the feelings he had been struggling with, and the other, painting with all his heart.

I found this post on quora and since I found it very useful, I decided to post it here. The link to the original post is at the bottom.
Typically, evidence suggests the dumpee normally faces more pain and they certainly do suffer the most intensity of emotions. That being said the dumper rarely escapes pain free. I’ll explain the situation from both sides, hopefully to help people going through it. Approximately 9/10 relationships will fail and that is ok. This is the dynamic for the majority of breakups. With significantly abusive relationships, it can be more complex. The dumper normally feels extremely sad about ending the relationship but similarly as if they have no other choice.
This is the typical, “I’m no longer in love with you” breakup. The dumper has detached & the dumpee is shellshocked. The dumper has prepared, is ready & excited for their future being single, while the dumpee feels like they’ve been hit by a freight train.
To understand why you need to understand the dynamics of control and rejection.
Before the breakup the dumper isn’t happy for some reason (they usually do not know themselves), most dumpers do not actually break up with a dumpee for reasons relating to the actual relationship but internal (e.g. existential, fear of commitment) or external (e.g. new jobs, friends being single or married, long distance) pressures. It’s often not the dumpees fault the dumper is unhappy and they rarely effectively communicate how they feel or their needs from their partner.
Compatibility is a myth; whatever relationship you build you will need to accept some flaws. Mature individuals understand what they can accept and what they can’t and establish boundaries for their partners. It’s very rare for a long-term relationship to end because of compatibility issues because you have coped together sufficiently fine for a significant period. In shorter term relationships significant differences in opinion prevent them from developing further.
Nobody wants to consider themselves a bad person (we are always the hero in our own story, i.e. protagonist syndrome). We know that dumping someone will be hurtful. Hence the name. Breaking up doesn’t necessarily need to be so traumatic. Dumpers have a level of control, which they focus to minimise the pain on themselves. They are confused & consumed by fear “What if this is the wrong choice?”. They normally hide their feelings and wait until they are certain & reach the best possible moment for them. Many dumpers wait until just after receiving birthday gifts from their partner. I once watched someone get dumped the night of a wedding just after being used as a bridesmaid’s “plus one”. This may appear selfish and essentially it is, however from the dumpers perspective they are in pain and they project the blame for this onto the dumpee (“you caused me to feel like this”, “you forced me to do this”). The dumper often gets angry at the dumpee during the breakup. They project the blame away from themselves because they can’t face hurting someone. Any reaction by the dumpee is used as justification for the dumper actions. Dumpers need the situation to deteriorate to justify their action. A confirmation bias. “Look at how they cried, I need someone stronger”, “They got angry, they are unstable”, “They didn’t react, they never cared about me “. Any reaction confirms the Dumpers decision. This total lack of control is confusing for the dumpee, they can’t “fix” anything, it’s an internal struggle for the dumper.
The build up
For a significant period within the relationship dumper is in pain, they often project their insecurities onto their partner, for example if they feel self-conscious about being overweight “you need to go to the gym more” or unfulfilled in their job “you’re never going to be successful”. This criticism can be confusing for their partner because it often doesn’t reflect the realities of the situation and sometimes is completely hypocritical. This criticism leads to contempt, the dumper actively dislikes spending time with their partner, eye rolling when they speak or request things. This is because they feel that they’ve asked their partner to improve (the criticism) and they feel they have ignored it. The dumper may test the dumpee and overstep boundaries, cheat, party, actively abuse them. If the dumpee forgives the dumper they loose more and more respect, if the dumpee challenges the dumper, they remember this as a slight (as justification for a breakup). The dumper doesn’t understand why they feel contempt for their partner that they previously loved so much thus they start to pull away from them to see if some space will help. The dumper reduces emotional support and possibly sexual contact for the dumpee. The dumpee will feel this and may ask the dumper what is wrong? The dumper scared of consequences may lie, “I’m fine, I just need some time to myself etc”. The dumpee might get emotional and force the situation, the dumper will be extremely dismissive to shut the conversation (or as they see it the confrontation) down. This challenge is similarly remembered as a “conflict” for justification when the breakup comes.
The dumpee trusts their partner and expects them to honestly explain how they feel. They respect their partner when they deflect their concerns and explain them as their partner having a hard time. The dumpee believes they are handling any conflict maturely. Gaslighting can occur because of an unequal power dynamic. The dumpee can compromise when their partner oversteps boundaries & also accept the “blame”. The dumpee can sometimes try and help their partner feel better but this comes across as needy & too full on. Similarly if the dumpee pulls back and let their partner have space the dumper feels unappreciated or ignored. Unless the dumper communicates effectively the dumpee can do nothing to change the outcome. Every action is a confirmation bias for the dumper. The dumpee is very happy and lives in a fantasy believing they can trust their partner. They remain loyal as the dumper disconnects.
The dumper usually doesn’t know what is wrong, they play their cards close to their chest so not to spook the dumpee. They logically do not want to break up unless they are certain. Because they are unhappy they start to fantasise either watching their friends or on their past live, when they were happier. This is sometimes called the “Grass is always greener syndrome”, in the mundanity of life we tend to believe our friends are having more fun or that our younger self was much more exciting than our current self. Social media makes the fear of missing out a significant pressure on relationships. Why are we not as loved up as our friends on Instagram? Why am I not travelling and partying like my single friends? We don’t consider that our own choices prevent us from these activities and the necessary sacrifices these lifestyles may need. Remember it’s a fantasy. They might find someone new and attractive, this can build into an affair however this is a fantasy also, it’s fuelled from excitement of the situation and as a distraction to their negative feelings. Affairs rarely last the transition into long term relationships
The dumper now is feeling unhappy, their partner is not adapting rapidly enough to their constant criticism (they may have lost respect in them), they have pulled away but they are still unhappy and they are fantasying about life away from their partner. They are scared to talking to their partner so they seek “help” from their friends and family. They moan, emphasising the negative elements of the relationship because they don’t want their feelings of unhappiness to not be seen as justified. This positively reinforces their feelings. It can actively vilify their partner, portraying them as a monster. Their friends and family support them “You can do better”. They offer quick fixes to make their loved one feel happier, “Finish with them and have fun with us”. This adds a pressure onto the dumper because now they have voiced their concern and their friends and family will keep trying to push this outcome to positively reinforce them. Friends and family members can also push their own agenda and manipulate the situation in their favour (I think of these like the “Flying Monkeys” in the Wizard of Oz). I once learnt German at school rather than Spanish (my aunt is Spanish & I went to Spain every year on holiday) because my friend said they would help me with homework, they never once did help me, it’s funny how susceptible we are to the influence of others.
The dumper now is unhappy, nothing is improving, they are fantasying about the future and their support structure is promoting the breakup. Usually the situation is that they haven’t involved the dumpee in any of this. Ironically communicating often could help with these issues but the dumper has let the situation spiral and the feeling is now much worse. The dumper has usually been in pain for weeks if not months, in silent conflict with themselves about what do do. The dumpee isn’t making them feel better but they aren’t communicating their needs. Finally they decide they will break up the relationship. Normally they commit to it and decide to fade out over a period of a few weeks in an attempt to lessen the blow. I read a paper recently that suggested it takes 7 attempts to finally end the relationship on average.
The breakup
Eventually the dumper dumps the dumpee. The dumpee is shocked and blind sighted, they feel betrayed (instant pain like being hit with a sledgehammer). The dumper is not in pain, they are intensely relieved that they have been able to do what they felt needed to be done. They might feel proud and courageous, their family & friends congratulate them and are ready to support. The dumpee feels an enormous level of rejection, typically the rejection affects an individual in two separate ways so you might observe differences but the overall effect is the same:

1. A higher ego individual, will be confused, they may feel “better” than the dumper and can’t understand why they would do this? This completely shatters their perception of themselves.
2. A lower ego individual may feel worthless and spiral into depression.

Regardless of the strength of the dumpee’s ego everyone will be hurt by this rejection however someone who is highly successful will particularly struggle with this rejection. Imagine being top of your game, idolised professionally & socially, the centre of attention in any room and your partner says literally “I can do better”. Sometimes the dumpee will hit rock bottom and require much rebuilding and grow from this experience into a much better person. This should be the goal of any dumpee, personal growth, use this pain as a motivator. The dumper doesn’t experience this, which although traumatic is a disadvantage.
Because the dumpee is surprised by the decision they do the logical thing and try and communicate with their dumper to understand what happened and why the situation is unrecoverable. They provide solutions and try to fix the problem. Any reason provided by the dumper will not be sufficient enough for dumpee and no solution will work for the dumper. This is because both sides are acting from emotional positions and not logical ones. The dumpee will try and remind the dumper of all the positives of their relationship and the successes they have made. For the dumper this is too late, they have spent months thinking about these. They feel frustrated and uncomfortable with the dumpee wanting answers (to questions the dumper has answered internally months ago). “It doesn’t change anything”, “why do we need to go over this all again?”. The dumper honestly believes they have been open about how unhappy they have felt and have waited months for the dumpee to change. Often this isn’t the case, usually the dumper hides their feelings to protect themselves (because they want to be 100% certain before making a life altering choice). This is understandably the best strategy for them, putting themselves in the best position (climbing into a lifeboat before blowing the ship up). They need to escape the pain. They can’t bring themselves to admit they behaved this way because it portrays them negatively (they need to feel the hero, justified). They can’t empathise with the dumpee because they have struggled with this feeling for so long. Whilst the dumpee has trusted the dumper and expected them to share their feelings & be honest with them. In terms of control the dumper has 100% of the control, they are simply walking away. This is a shock to the dumpee who still consisers this a 50:50 relationship. They are still invested and want an opportunity to work on it. They attempt to compromise but the position is beyond that now.
In this unequal dynamic the dumper pushes all blame onto the dumpee. The dumpee commits to work on their flaws and the dumper has no responsibility. They might list all the activities that the dumpee has done to push them to this conclusion. “This is all your fault”. A list of minor conflicts spanning years may be presented to the dumpee as justification, these typically aren’t the actual reason for the breakup but an example of a conflict an excuse for the dumper to use to justify their decision. The dumper thinks of any motivation for the breakup just to escape how they feel (clutching at straws to justify leaving). This is why closure doesn’t really exist, the dumper doesn’t fully know why they are making this decision & no reason is ever good enough for the dumpee. The dumpee will usually accept each listed “reason” as flaws/mistakes but try and convince the dumper that they will change.
Nothing is going to change the dumpers mind in the moment, they have made the choice and want to experience life without the dumpee. Any attempt to manipulate the situation will be seen by the dumper as the dumpee trying to keep them trapped where they don’t want to be. The dumper wants to escape and the dumpee is clinging to them for dear life. Every period of separation feels like instant relief from the dumpee. The dumper needs this escape (and the relief) more and more. “GIVE ME SPACE!!”
Aftermath
The dumper often wants to keep the positives that they see of the relationship whilst removing the negative elements. Remember they just want to escape the pain. This is why they might suggest being “friends”. The dumper’s ego believes they can keep everything that they want and nothing that they don’t. An ideal fantasy situation for the dumper. Total control, maximum benefit at no cost (completely parasitic relationship). This is the power dynamic at play, some people falsely diagnose their exes as narcissists however they are usually simply acting selfishly. It’s unfortunate but normal to exploit the dynamic for their maximum benefit. Dumpees unwilfully feed the dumpers ego making this dynamic worse.
If the dumpee begs the dumper feels even more powerful and knows they can return to the relationship. The dumpee often acts super nice in an attempt to coerce the dumper back. The dumpee’s friends and family might suggest sending gifts or letters to their ex to convince them to return. Insert romantic comedy cliché here. This will make the dumper feel more powerful and guilty for hurting their ex. The dumper doesn’t want to feel like a bad person (they are the hero in their eyes). They will turn to their friends and family to mock the dumpee’s behaviour (positive reinforcement). They will see their ex as pathetic and very unattractive (confirmation bias). They might feel guilt and feel like a bad person so their friends and family will step in to vilify the dumpee as “manipulative” making the dumper feel justified and bolster their support. The dumper now, has ended the relationship but can return at any point and has support from everyone. This is an ideal situation for them, they have everything that they want (they might even be getting gifts from their ex) but at no cost. Their action and choices have had no negative consequences. The dumper feels happy.
The “Flying Monkeys” warn the dumper of being too close & spin their interactions with the dumpee (face to face or via social media) to encourage the dumper to move on and be happy (notice the quick fix promises). They may also try and push the dumpee away themselves.
The situation can spiral as the dumper isn’t as available to the dumpee anymore and nothing is returned. In this new “relationship” dynamic, the dumpee has 100% of the cost and 0% of the benifits. The dumper thinks it’s perfect and can’t empathise with the dumpee’s feelings. Guilt and a fear of manipulation might force them to keep a distance. The dumpee experiences this as their ex becoming “Cold”, i.e. non invested in their interactions. The dumpee is hurting and this lack of attention/affection causes them to push more and more. Eventually the dumpee losses all self respect and this usually results in the dumper cutting the dumpee fully off.
Completely disconnected
This is usually the rock bottom moment for the dumpee, they have completely lost someone they love. In time they will process this pain and reflect. Usually they accept that the dumper didn’t treat them as they should, they feel anger and healthy individuals accept the breakup as the best action and move on. Some individuals cling to this anger, never internally forgiving their ex, resenting them forever. This negativity may impact future relationships. Breakups are very traumatic for the dumpee and we can use this to change & grow or stagnate in our resentment.
Only when fully separated does the dumper fully face the consequences of their actions. Although they may not notice it for an extended period (until the relief fades).
The dumper is experiencing the world as they fantasied about but it never matches their expectations. Maybe their new partner isn’t as exciting as they expected or they can’t go on around the world trips because of work commitments. Our dreams rarely lives up to expectations. The dumper can double down in denial, “this should be more fun” lets go party. But eventually this will become stale. It’s rare that the dumper has fixed the original stresses that caused them to be unhappy. They are left confused, they left the relationship because it wasn’t making them happy but now they are still unhappy without the relationship. They have 0% cost, 0% benefit as there’s no relationship. The “Flying Monkeys” get bored without drama and cease their attention & support. No one is as available as before. If single, they will eventually want to date but it’s a shock when they aren’t seen as attractive by others as they expected, they also find most people fairly boring. Conversation is very dry and it feels like too much effort. Dates might use them for hookups or ghost them after weeks/months. They feel devalued.
If they enter a new relationship because the dumper doesn’t consider any of the mistakes they personally made similar patterns develop. The dumper may become critical of this new partner in a similar manner. They trap themselves in a cycle, unable to accept responsibility. Comparisons are made with a fantasy version of the dumpee and their new partner, often the dumpee is better at some metric and this causes doubt in the dumpers mind. “Why am I not with someone who is better at this?”. The dumper usually isn’t self aware enough to appreciate everyone has flaws, they have told themselves they “deserve better”, their friends & family told them “you will find better” but no-one is better by every single metric.
The “Fading Affect Bias” is a concept that over time our negative memories fade quicker than our positive memories. Relationship coaches misinterpret this as over time the dumper forgets the negative memories. What happens in reality is that the intensity of both memories is reduced, with the negative memories intensity reducing to a greater extent. However studies show within breakups the fading affect bias doesn’t have a significant impact, people hold onto the grudges. What I suspect happens is that the minor positives of the relationship are ignored while in the relationship however outside the relationship these can be much more apparent. The grass does appear greener on the other side. This is why I suspect many couples get back together, later breakup and then get back together. We keep fantasying about the other side and if we continually return the risk of breaking up is massively reduced. Eventually we appreciate what our ex provided for us.
They still feel in control so may stalk their ex on social media, unblock them, send them a friend request, birthday text etc. If they find their ex in a new relationship, they start to panic as they realise they have no control and all the emotion hits them at once this can cause a depression in them. If their dumpee chases again they feel validated, still feeling superior. If the dumpee is aggressive or confrontational, they might feel slightly rejected but they can twist this into feeling superior because their ex hasn’t “moved on yet”. When the dumpee is civil and acts normally, this flips the dynamic completely. The dumper becomes more inquisitive.
Overall impact & examples
Overtime the dumper feels a small level of pain continuously, they are responsible for their actions and the position they are in. The dumpee usually processes the pain and recovers. If the dumper feels in control they feel comfortable with this pain and can return at any moment. When the pain is too much they will simply approach the dumpee. They always feel in control. They have an easy escape if needed. The dumpee doesn’t feel this, they accept that they never had any control and have learnt to accept things as they are, thus reducing their pain.
Whilst true the dumpee faces the most intense pain in a breakup the dumpers journey is often overlooked. The dumper is in pain before the breakup & feels their only solution to stop this pain is to breakup. Often this is projection and once the relief fades and their fantasy becomes boring, they are left with their pain. Without someone to blame they eventually realise the consequences of their decision. They are normally left isolated still in the pain they originally felt. They have lost everything that they once had but the pain remains.
Every breakup I’ve been through and every breakup I have seen my friends/family go through has followed this dynamic. You can’t reason with anyone and explain what will happen before they experience it. The dumper projects their pain onto the dumpee and sees no other option. Because of the positive reinforcement from friends and family explaining the future dynamic will be seen as manipulative. My best friend, recently broke up with her ex, I sat with her and discussed how she felt & what she aimed to achieve. I listened and remained objective. She admitted not being over two other exes from 10 years & 7 years ago respectively. She knew she would feel the same about this partner. Despite knowing what would happen she knew she needed something to change. She broke up with him and they are remaining “friends” he has been spiralling for 6 months+. He’s an ER doctor, on some level I want to tell him to walk away so she can feel the consequences & he can recover (it can’t be good for his patients either). It’s too manipulative for me to tell him (I’ll also become a “Flying Monkey”) but I’ve told her she isn’t treating him fairly. She also asked me to invite her ex from 7 years ago (a mutal friend) to my birthday party however she wasn’t keen when I said I would invite his new girlfriend also… She moved back home for a few months and then into a flat-share with some professionals in their early 20s (she is 30), reliving a fantasy youth she felt she was missing in her relationship. Until she learns to deal with her internal issues they are going to keep resurfacing in future relationships.
My school friend is a clinical psychologist who has ended every relationship after two years. She is onto her sixth and that will come to a close soon. She explained this dynamic to me after my most recent break-up. After her last two breakups, she's been in therapy and on anti-depressants. Being the dumper hasn’t shielded her from the pain. Knowing what will happen hasn’t shielded her from the pain. Despite knowing she needs to solve her own issues she rushes into the next relationship to mask the pain.
My brother dumped his girlfriend of three years and she moved in with a new boyfriend within six months. He lives in London and had a successful hook-up life for a few years. Now his friends are all married or in long term relationships. He's got limited savings and is losing his hair. He can’t afford to live on his own but can’t face moving away from a major city. He regrets his decision a lot but knows he can’t take it back.
If you want to understand a typical breakup dynamic, watch the film “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” on the face of it it’s a silly romantic comedy but it’s absurdity is metaphor of a normal breakup dynamic. Peter has annoying bad habits, Sarah can’t communicate what she expects from him, she is in pain. She seeks therapy but doesn’t actually involve Peter (you only find out later in the film). She “can’t drown with him anymore” and ends it. Peter is completely shocked by this. Sarah is a celebrity, so she is omnipresent, while Peter is grieving (a great metaphor of the emotions the dumpee feels). Her ego is extremely strong. It transpires that Sarah had an affair with Aldous Snow (a cooler musician to Peter, an upgrade) and is now in a relationship with him. Aldous and Sarah get validation everywhere they go. Aldous sings about having sex with Sarah, while Peter is forced to watch, he spirals witnessing this. Peter develops a new relationship with Rachel. He starts to remember the negative times with Sarah (mostly regarding her ego & control). Sarah & Peter both loose their jobs, Sarah looses her identity, whilst Peter finds it liberating. The fantasy with Aldous starts to fall apart & Sarah is reminded of the positives Peter provided (ironically a different perspective on Peter’s negative memories). She expected Aldous to be an improvement on Peter by every metric. The breakup didn’t solve her internal pain, her identity has been smashed & her fantasy life isn’t going as planned. It was her choice, her decision and she thinks she can take it back. Peter however is now happier with Rachel, so he rejects Sarah, however he still is angry for her hurting him (he is projecting his pain & blame, while dumping her back). Peter tells Rachel, she gets angry, and they break up. Peter inspired by Rachel achieves his goals and Rachel after a significant time period comes back to him. Sarah is in a new television show (similar to her last), reliving her patterns of the past.
In summery
The dumpee gets a short burst of intense pain and can use this as motivation to grow. Comparisons are not an issue as the next relationship hasn’t already broken your heart.
The dumper, is unhappy at first, pushes all blame for this unhappiness onto the dumpee, feels brief relief and then is confused when they are still unhappy. They rarely grow & repeat the same mistakes. Every future relationship is compared with the past ones.

Some of these concepts may overlap with existing methods of the current civilizations but this is why you are here to share your own ideas. Good luck!
Greeks: Gain favor by prayers.
Egyptians: Gain favor by building monuments.
Norse: Gain favor by fighting and destroying things.
Atlanteans: Gain favor by spreading their civilization.
Chinese: Gain favor by building gardens.
​
Aztecs: Gain favor by sacrificing your own people and prisoners. (Probably a no brainer here).
Celtics: Gain favor by constructing buildings closer to nature (forests). Celt players have the ability to plant trees as well for favor and a natural shield from the enemy.
Mesopotamians: Gain favor by exploring more areas of the map. Less fog of war = more favors gained. Mesopotamian players can pump out an observer called baru or countless of them (also very inexpensive) and strategically place them all over the map. "It was believed that the gods expressed their will through "words" (amatu) and "commandments" (qibitu) which were not necessarily spoken, but were thought to manifest in the unfolding routine of events and things. There were countless ways to divine the future, such as observing oil dropped into a cup of water (lecanomancy) observing the entrails of sacrificial animals (extispicy), observation of the behavior of birds (augury) and observing celestial and meteorological phenomena (astrology) as well as through interpretation of dreams. Often interpretation of these phenomena required the need for two classes of priests: askers (sa'ilu) and observer (baru) , and also sometimes a lower class of ecstatic seer (mahhu) that was also associated with witchcraft."
Maori: Gain favor by creating rivers and/or large bodies of water and/or beaches. Maori players can create large bodies of water and having their settlements be surrounded by it for defense as well.
Hindus: Gain favor by gathering wildlife animals into your city and letting them roam around.
Japanese: Gain favor by building torii gates. Generate more favor by constructing these gates at the entrances of your base. Note: you can create these anywhere even in water.
Slavs: Gain favor during night time. What do vampirs (vampires), vukodlaks (lycans), baba yagas, domovoys, etc... all have in common? They usually appear in the evening. Slav players are able to pump out these units during day time but their stats are buffed once the night time cycle sets in. Day and night time cycle and different weathers are a must. Eye-candy galore.
Persians: Gain favor by keeping the "Atar" or the holy fire alive. Fire temples were constructed for this purpose. Wood is then traded for favors.

With Imperium Maledictum now out, I've been all over it, and the setting is full of lots of fun detail. It's a pretty intimate look at a corner of the Imperium in the post-Cicatrix Maledictum era: the Macharian Sector was cut off from the wider Imperium and most Warp travel between its own worlds for five years, leading to lots of unrest, secession, and Chaos/xenos intrusion. They're in the process of rebuilding and re-conquering, but large swathes of the map are only Imperial on paper. I figured folks might want some excerpts! There's definitely a unique Macharian palette.
It's noted that the sector has an unusual amount of Guard presence, stemming from the gathered manpower tithes being used to keep the peace and reclaim local territory rather than departing for distant crusades. A few of the notable Macharian regiments get some detail; two others get fleeting mentions, the explosive-collared condemned Ghasts of Voll and the small but well-equipped Asterion Grey Legions.

When said soldiers in the Macharian Sector are encountered it’s most common for them to be of the Paleon Long Teeth Regiment, as its numbers far exceed those of other Macharian regiments. These range from security of vital installations to acting as an immediate response to Chaos or Xenos incursions.
[...]
The only way for a citizen of Paleon to ever leave their Great House is either through an approved marriage, in which case they join whatever house their betters decree, or by entering the Astra Militarum. Lowborn are regularly tithed to the Imperial Guard in large quantities, and they really have no choice in the matter.
Those marked for the tithe and who wish to enter the Guard as anything other than a raw recruit may earn the right to be considered as an officer candidate by acquiring a dagger crafted from the fang of a myra. A swift-moving, lethal gigantosaur, myra’s possess particularly lengthy teeth and a prodigiously rapid breeding cycle. Many that make the attempt perish, but enough have succeeded over the years that the Imperial Guard regiments of Paleon are widely referred to as the Long Teeth.
[...]
Enough wars have been fought against raiding xenos that many Macharian citizens have a far better idea than most in the Imperium about the existence of Orks and Aeldari, along with a few other dangerous species. They know very few details about them though, and even those are generally distorted by Imperial propaganda. The Astra Militarum Long Teeth of Paleon have fought Orks so many times, they use scrimshawed Ork fangs, specially preserved, as campaign badges[...]

An arid, industrialised planet on the Rimward edge of the Andosk Sub-sector, Kallastin is famed as the site of one of Lord Solar Macharius’s most legendary victories, a massive battle wherein he and his forces allegedly defeated over twenty-three billion Orks in a single day. Many present at the battle later swore in the Emperor’s name that it was so, a feat accomplished by unprecedented coordination across all groups of the Imperium’s militaries, including the Adeptus Astartes, acting in precise concert with Macharius’s commands. Worlds touched by Orks never seem to be entirely rid of them, though, and Kallastin is no exception. The crimson metal and velocity obsessed Orks known as Speed Freeks regard Kallastin with a near-holy fervour as the site of one of the greatest scraps ever.
[...]
The ascension of Phythian de Kallastin has returned a focus to the planet’s military with renewed vigour, and its Astra Militarum Regiment, the Kallastin Lancers, are the proudest of Andosk. Newly appointed Regimental Commander Valian Zhang is a strict traditionalist, enamoured by the guerrilla battle tactics of the Tallarn Desert Raiders that first liberated Kallastin and form the basis of their mechanised military. The Kallastin Custodia have successfully dealt with numerous minor heretical uprisings and Ork incursions, and Zhang has zealously lauded their own forces, little understanding that these scouts are but heralds for far more dangerous armies.

Originally a penal regiment, the Viridan Trailblazers now recruit from those born in the servo-cities that crawl over the planet’s surface, their ranks swollen by an unusual number of volunteers drawn by the heroic reputation of the regiment — and especially of Colonel Elysia Dirge. Colonel Dirge commands the Astra Militarum in the servo-city Carrion’s Retort, currently engaged in clearing the eastern sub-continent of Virida known as Tunfarl. She has led several successful campaigns snatched back from the brink of absolute failure, and many a tale has been spun to explain the extensive flamer scarring across one half of her body.
As dedicated as Dirge is in performing her duty, she is also consumed by this mystery — she remembers little of the incident that left her scarred, but believes that the mind-altering effects of the jungle she wages war against may have caused some of her troops to turn traitorous. Colonel Dirge is known for being as uncompromising as a Commissar in her troop inspections, and indeed, she is attempting to root out a xenos-worshipping cult amongst the ranks.
[We also see the Viridan Trailblazers put down a civil war between three ostensibly-Imperial planets by force, partnering with the Proteus Caballeros of another world for training and coordinated operations.]

The Navy's Battlefleet Macharian is putting in good work, as is the massive Battle Group Fortis, the latter a branch off of the Indomitus Crusade's Fleet Tertius. A Rogue Trader of the Vomakt Dynasty (whose lineage apparently dates back to Malcador's day) sails with Fortis in an impressively-huge ship of her own. House Enebayar of the Navigators apparently works exclusively with Astartes, Knight Houses, and the Navy.
While 'mere mortals' are doing the bulk of the lifting, Astartes are all over the sector's history, both during the original conquest under Macharius and in the massive war that followed his death. There's one planet, Jotungarth, with ties to the Space Wolves dating back to the Lord Solar's time, while a Macharian forge world is in the process of unhappily being aided by the Black Templars against Chaos intrusion. We get some tantalizing glimpses at a new local Chapter, the Verydian Hawks, but very little concrete detail - fitting for a game where you play as the little people of the Imperium.

The Chapter fleet of the nomadic Verydian Hawks regularly passes through the sector, though in typical Astartes fashion they do not announce their comings and goings. Astra Militarum who have been graced to witness one declare with awestruck words that no one who has ever heard the screaming descent of a Verydian Hawk drop pod assault ever forgets it.
[...]
Omyr: A feral world showing no signs of advanced civilisation. Primitive sects of hard-pressed warriors here routinely fight against vicious packs of disturbingly cunning native fauna. Warning buoys continually vox-cast that the planet is quarantined, and that landing here is expressly forbidden by order of the Verydian Hawks. The few that have encountered this suspect either that the Space Marine Chapter have claimed this world as a recruitment and training world for their Neophytes, or that some baleful menace lurks on the surface that the Angels of Death are yet to conquer.
[We're also told that the gas giant Tarang, in the Verydian's Reach subsector, exclusively produces 'astyrlan gas' for use in Verydian Hawks bolt rounds, and get a tantalizing glimpse of one Company Captain Ammanus Tarx. What we don't get: a gene-seed, Founding, color scheme, or anything about their culture and fighting style. I'm sure we'll see more of them soon!]

Lastly, there's a handful of Knight Houses. Veritas Maximal is home to seven Imperialis houses, with a tourney every twenty years determining which contributes the next High King; House Korun currently rules and is well-liked, but House Erd plots their downfall. House Veroth, sworn to the Mechanicus, protects several forge worlds (including Titanslair, home of the Legio Machaera). Most detailed, however, is House Vandensarg of Maleer, who I think are great:

Famed throughout the Macharian Sector and beyond, House Vandensarg is officially designated as a Questor Imperialis Knight house, meaning they are sworn to fight for the Imperium, not the Adeptus Mechanicus. They have proudly served the Emperor since the coming of Macharius’s forces to Maleer, but house records claim they marched alongside the forces of the Imperium during the Great Crusade long ago. Widely known as the ‘Savage House Vandensarg’, its Nobles, called Greves, are master hunters who drape their Knights with trophies taken from their victories against the colossal beasts of Maleer, and mark them with sigils declaring their prowess drawn in crimson-tinged clay. They revel in close combat, with the meleefocused Knight Preceptor being the most common Knight suit in their ranks.
While Maleer has many resources, it has ever been short on useful ores, a problem exacerbated by mining operations frequently attracting immense predators and the traditional distrust of the Adeptus Mechanicus. Long ago, the beleaguered Vandensarg Sacristans discovered that the dense bones of some of their gigantic foes were rich in metal bearing compounds, and began using them in the repair of their Knights’ armoured carapaces. Over time this became almost ritualistic, and some of the ancient Knights are now named for great beasts they slew and which were subsequently used in the repair of the massive machines.
While House Vandensarg’s distant past is shrouded in mystery, passed down via oral traditions, they have long carried warnings of previous dealings with ‘Carmine Metal Merchants’ who tried to play them false. Soon after House Vandensarg joined the Macharian Crusade, agents of the Adeptus Mechanicus looking to gain their allegiance visited their world. The Greves, deeply suspicious of the Tech-Priests, reluctantly agreed to their visitation. The visitors were appalled by the treatment of House Vandensarg’s Sacristans, as well as the borderline heretical use of bone-harvested metal in the repairs of their sacred Knights.

Previously on Party Roll...

​
Our rag-tag group of adventurers are on another mission from the King...although the status-quo of current affairs are slowly changing...and not in the favor the the King. We're starting to suspect the King might not be all "mighty" and "holy" and "great" as Jedwyn alllllways goes on about him. But until they have definitive proof, they march towards the "Illuminated Glade", before making their way to the Descendant's strong hold north of the city. On their travels a poorly shrouded Danielle Kay trots her way begging the group to take her and keep her safe. After some Jedwyn persuasion, she fully unloads some ice cold truths, as in Lindrick being an experiment gone wrong, made by the King, who will never stop killing. \GLUP* And and and....there might be more of these undead monsters...Could it get any worse?! The answer is yes, because these undead will always know where they are, meaning it's not a matter of "if" but... "when"...*

TO THE GLADE WE GO!!!
​
​
....Oh, well that was quick! We make it deeper into the forest until they enter the Glade.
Fritz Fynn Fynkle, Roll for Perception on the glade 2
Carl 7, Roll for Perception on the glade 12
Jedwyn Bogswallow, Roll for Perception on the glade 16
​
Barilla Stromboli, Roll for Perception on the glade 7
​
The air seems still, they don't see anything outta place for a forest, but calm. Fritz detects a strong sense of magic further down the path. Jedwyn doesn't feel so good about heading any further in, but Carl 7 tussles on and everyone else with him. Sometime later they reach a clearing with a body of water that resembles a motionless lake. Danielle Kay chimes in and stays the glade is a holy place to the crown and the people and a source of magic. The approach the lake and scattered about are some people which is expected. Walking towards the group is a familiar face....Eirdren!
Barilla Stromboli, Roll to shove Eirdren, pick him up and dunk him along the water Roll for grapple 23 He lifts the greeting Eirdren and says, "Lets go swimming!" and Eidren fails (with a 21) to break free from Barilla
After Eirdren collects himself, he explains that he was sent here to investigate some sightings of strange men as well as take some magical readings. When pressed as to what the description of these strange people might look like, Eirdren points to Carl 7 and says they look like warforge. MORE CARLS?! \shifty eyes** Eirdren is perplexed as to why Danielle Kay is with them, but after some lengthy discussion of what to do with Fumbles, they leave Danielle Kay with Ambrosis and setup Fumbles like a scarecrow. Everyone else heads onto a boat to head into the middle of the lake to take some magical readings. Barilla strong man rows them towards the middle of the lake where a magical green flame is kept a blaze. The island is connected to this source of natural magic and in the last few decades it's become stronger.
Choosing this secluded time away from Danielle Kay, Jedwyn drops some hot truth on Eirdren and tells him everything that Danielle Kay said. Eirdren fixates on the 'orb" part of things, but takes the news pretty good seeing that his King is actually a Tyant. But Eirdren says he rather have the King leading the people than the Descendant's who were ruthless barbarians. Since they cant break his loyalty to the king, our party gently request that he investigate these findings for himself.
We all head back onto the boat, Rowing back

Trivia
-The first two mins of the podcast sounds like a Flintstone/Roseanne mash up skit.
-Vanessa somehow contracted what Fumbles got and now they both canonically have diarrhea
-A map of the glade which Mark drew is on their pateron. The final dungeon of Arc 1 is in there too.
-'Drevic' was Eirdren's fathers name.
-To "ejaculate" is to shout, the more you know ;)
-The Evil Carl's are suspected to be Monk's seeing as they can walk/run on water.

Hello everyone, I recently started playing skyrim after a decade long hiatus so everything feels pretty new to me. I haphazardly added a few dozen mods on top of a Moonshadow install and everything's fine except for the two mods Hunterborn and Campfire. They repeatedly crash for the same reasons which are as follow :
Hunterborn will crashes when killing an animal and trying to process it by doing all three options one after the other (in seemingly any order) : skinning, harvesting ingredients and harvesting meat. it always crash while doing the animation for the last event, but sometimes it crash at the second one. If i save between the events and reload skyrim entirely it will be fine.
Campfire crashes when doing time skipping events like gathering wood or foraging. If i do it once or twice it's alright, but more and there's a risk of crashing.
There's also no actual crashes, the game stop responding but the music and sounds are still there. I can't actually get skyrim to crash to get a log. However i managed to get those debug files with papyrus (only for hunterborn)

Thank you very much for any help given

My name is Alex. I'm a 29-year-old software engineer, and I live in Boston with my partner, Tyler. It was the summer of 2022, and we decided to take a trip with our close friends to the White Mountains in New Hampshire. We rented a cozy Airbnb nestled amongst the picturesque landscape, with the intention of escaping our busy city lives and taking in some fresh air.
The group consisted of Tyler and I, our friends Sarah and Ben, and a couple we hadn't met before, Rachel and her girlfriend, Lia. We had all been looking forward to this trip, and the excitement was palpable as we arrived at our Airbnb.
We had been looking forward to this vacation for months, and it was finally time to relax and unwind. The six of us made our way to the cozy Airbnb we had rented for a week in the heart of the mountains. The place was a quaint two-story cabin with a wraparound porch, offering breathtaking views of the mountains. It had a spacious living room, a well-equipped kitchen, three bedrooms, and a loft area where Rachel and Lia would be staying. The first day was all about getting settled in and familiarizing ourselves with the surroundings.
The next morning, we had a hearty breakfast, and then we all set out to explore the nearby trails. The weather was perfect – sunny and warm with a gentle breeze. We spent the day hiking, laughing, and taking pictures to immortalize our trip.
As the week progressed, we enjoyed swimming in the nearby lake, barbecuing on the porch, and playing games late into the night. Everything seemed perfect, and we were all having a fantastic time. However, that's when things began to change.
On the fourth night, Tyler and I were in our room, getting ready for bed. We had just finished brushing our teeth when we heard a faint tapping sound on the window. We looked at each other, shrugged, and assumed it was just a branch swaying in the wind. We crawled into bed, kissed each other goodnight, and closed our eyes.
A few minutes later, the tapping sound returned, this time louder and more persistent. Annoyed, I got up to inspect the source of the noise, expecting to find a tree branch in need of trimming. However, as I pulled back the curtain, there was nothing there – no branch, no animal, just the dark, still night. I closed the curtain and returned to bed, feeling a little uneasy.
The next day, I mentioned the tapping to the rest of the group during breakfast. Everyone exchanged curious glances, and Ben chimed in, saying he had heard a similar noise the previous night as well. We decided it was probably just the wind playing tricks on us and continued with our plans for the day.
That evening, we all gathered in the living room to play some board games. The atmosphere was light and cheerful, as we joked and teased each other. As the night wore on, we began to hear creaking sounds coming from the floor above us. It wasn't unusual for an old cabin to make noises, but these seemed more deliberate, almost rhythmic.
Growing increasingly uneasy, we decided to investigate the sounds. As we climbed the stairs to the second floor, the creaking ceased, leaving an eerie silence. We cautiously made our way to the loft where Rachel and Lia were staying and found nothing out of the ordinary. The girls, sensing our apprehension, asked what was going on. We dismissed it as the house settling and went back downstairs to resume our games.
For the next couple of days, the strange occurrences continued. Items would go missing, only to be found in obscure places. Doors would creak open when no one was near them. Soft footsteps would echo through the hallways late at night. We tried to rationalize these events, blaming the wind or our overactive imaginations, but deep down, we all knew something was off.
Despite the unsettling events that had occurred during our stay, we were determined to make the most of our last night together. As we sat around the fire, we couldn't help but feel a strange sense of unease. It was as if the darkness surrounding us was growing heavier, and the shadows were creeping closer.
Around midnight, we decided to head back inside, exhausted from the day's activities. As we entered the cabin, we couldn't shake the feeling that we were being watched. The air inside felt colder, and there was a palpable tension amongst us.
We agreed that it would be best to stay together for the remainder of the night. We gathered in the living room, turning on every light and playing music to try and dispel the eerie atmosphere. We took turns keeping watch, while the others attempted to catch some sleep.
As the hours ticked by, the strange occurrences intensified. The tapping on the windows returned, this time accompanied by faint scratching sounds. The footsteps upstairs grew louder, and we could hear muffled whispers in the hallway. We were all on edge, our nerves frayed and our eyes darting around the room.
At around 4 a.m., the power suddenly went out, plunging the cabin into darkness. Panic set in as we scrambled to find flashlights and candles. As we huddled together, the whispers turned into distant laughter, and we could hear the sound of heavy breathing just outside the front door.
Fear gripped us, but we knew we had to take action. Tyler, the bravest among us, grabbed a fireplace poker and cautiously approached the door. As he slowly opened it, the laughter stopped, and all that remained was the cold, still night.
We decided it was best to pack our things and leave as soon as the sun rose. We spent the remaining hours before dawn in a state of heightened alert, listening for any sound that might signal danger. As soon as the first light of daybreak filtered through the curtains, we grabbed our bags and rushed to the car.
As we pulled away from the cabin, I couldn't help but glance back at the seemingly innocent structure that had become the setting for our terrifying ordeal. I noticed something I hadn't seen before: a set of footprints leading away from the house and disappearing into the woods.
I shuddered, realizing that our ordeal wasn't just the product of our imaginations. Someone – or something – had been watching us, toying with us, and invading our safe haven. We sped away from the cabin, grateful to have made it through the week, but forever haunted by the memories of our time in the White Mountains.
As we later found out, there had been reports of a dangerous individual lurking in the area, preying on unsuspecting tourists. We were lucky to have escaped unscathed, but the experience taught us a valuable lesson: always trust your instincts, because sometimes the scariest things are rooted in reality.

Not a standard road trip query I know and a very broad question! Seeking a cheaper cost of living where one day I'll actually be able to buy and to be around more people in their 30s cause my hometown has become a ghost town of vacation properties which are vacant 2/3 of the yr.
Things I'm looking for or to be close to: Nature and scenic views. Community, also pretty important. Entertainment & activities (more than just bars). Purple politics, don't want to be surrounded ONLY by conservatives or liberals. Low crime, no one locks their doors where I'm from but I know I'll have to get used to at least doing that!
My eventual goal is a few acres in the woods where I can have chickens etc and a garden, so small town stuff. Never really been a city person but at this point in my life I wouldn't mind a smaller city (like Asheville) though not downtown.
So far, to the south of me, I only have Asheville, Wilmington, and the James river area of Virginia.. I know the question is highly relative to the individual but besides for little road trips around New England most of my travels have been abroad so I don't have many starting points. It's really going to come down to feel for me so I'm going to take my next 3wks off to do some scouting!
Budget: 1200-1500 for a 1, or 2 bedroom would be ideal as I spend half my time at sea but could begrudgingly go up to 1800. Which reminds me, I'm 2hrs from the airport now and definitely wouldn't want to live any further away from one than that! TIA!

I applaud you all for making it to the end of Homer's Odyssey. It has been an incredible journey, and I cannot wait to do it again with some new (and old) heroes in The Argonautica.
We will take a break this week, but be sure and check the schedule so you don't miss out on our future reads.
Discussion questions are in the comments.

Summaries:
Book 23
Eurycleia goes upstairs to call Penelope, who has slept through the entire fight. Penelope doesn’t believe anything that Eurycleia says, and she remains in disbelief even when she comes downstairs and sees her husband with her own eyes. Telemachus rebukes her for not greeting Odysseus more lovingly after his long absence, but Odysseus has other problems to worry about. He has just killed all of the noble young men of Ithaca—their parents will surely be greatly distressed. He decides that he and his family will need to lay low at their farm for a while. In the meantime, a minstrel strikes up a happy song so that no passers-by will suspect what has taken place in the palace.
​
Penelope remains wary, afraid that a god is playing a trick on her. She orders Eurycleia to move her bridal bed, and Odysseus suddenly flares up at her that their bed is immovable, explaining how it is built from the trunk of an olive tree around which the house had been constructed. Hearing him recount these details, she knows that this man must be her husband. They get reacquainted and, afterward, Odysseus gives his wife a brief account of his wanderings. He also tells her about the trip that he must make to fulfill the prophecy of Tiresias in Book 11. The next day, he leaves with Telemachus for Laertes’ orchard. He gives Penelope instructions not to leave her room or receive any visitors. Athena cloaks Odysseus and Telemachus in darkness so that no one will see them as they walk through the town.
​
Book 24
The scene changes abruptly. Hermes leads the souls of the suitors, crying like bats, into Hades. Agamemnon and Achilles argue over who had the better death. Agamemnon describes Achilles’ funeral in detail. They see the suitors coming in and ask how so many noble young men met their end. The suitor Amphimedon, whom Agamemnon knew in life, gives a brief account of their ruin, pinning most of the blame on Penelope and her indecision. Agamemnon contrasts the constancy of Penelope with the treachery of Clytemnestra.
​
Back in Ithaca, Odysseus travels to Laertes’ farm. He sends his servants into the house so that he can be alone with his father in the gardens. Odysseus finds that Laertes has aged prematurely out of grief for his son and wife. He doesn’t recognize Odysseus, and Odysseus doesn’t immediately reveal himself, pretending instead that he is someone who once knew and befriended Odysseus. But when Laertes begins to cry at the memory of Odysseus, Odysseus throws his arms around Laertes and kisses him. He proves his identity with the scar and with his memories of the fruit trees that Laertes gave him when he was a little boy. He tells Laertes how he has avenged himself upon the suitors.
​
Laertes and Odysseus have lunch together. Dolius, the father of Melanthius and Melantho, joins them. While they eat, the goddess Rumor flies through the city spreading the news of the massacre at the palace. The parents of the suitors hold an assembly at which they assess how to respond. Halitherses, the elder prophet, argues that the suitors merely got what they deserved for their wickedness, but Eupithes, Antinous’s father, encourages the parents to seek revenge on Odysseus. Their small army tracks Odysseus to Laertes’ house, but Athena, disguised again as Mentor, decides to put a stop to the violence. Antinous’s father is the only one killed, felled by one of Laertes’ spears. Athena makes the Ithacans forget the massacre of their children and recognize Odysseus as king. Peace is thus restored.
