Like the title states, I have been a nanny for 5 years with 5 years previous childcare experience and education. As a nanny I don’t work for less than 95k a year now, I also work on contracts that I make and have the family agree to. This started about 2 years ago when I was making 105k a year with my latest family. That family recently lost their company and couldn’t afford to keep me, this directly violated our agreed upon contact (me being let go) so I fined them the previously mentioned amount for premature firing/let go. (If I were to violate the contract or neglect the kids or my job the fine would no longer apply via the contract.) so now, I am looking for a new job which brings me to this situation. I met with this family, the mother who I spoke to on the phone about my contracts and payment for the job I would be doing and everything was fine, until I sat down and met the husband the following day. I was going over my rates and contracts and quoted them 100k a year for my services based on what they wanted, which I already estimated for the wife on the phone and she showed no signs of disagreement. When the husband heard this he began laughing. Telling me that I was absurd to think they pay a glorified babysitter that much. He continued on to say the family should be giving the contracts not me and that me nor my services were worth that much. Now, like I stated I do have my degree and am able to teach the age group I work with. So my services included private homeschooling, house cleaning, private chef, family management and a few others. So I suppose my question is, is he right? Am I way out of bounds here? In my mind, I could charge a lot more. Keep in mind I only work for high profile clients who should be able to pay the rates I am asking. Please be blunt with me, as a nanny I would like to make changes if need be to my career.

I feel terrible , Some girl was flirting meAnd now I feel horriblee because my 'friends' won't talk to me now and I don't know how to feel , I feel really horrible now because they just won't speak to me and I feel like I was desperate because she started flirting and I didn't know what to do.
So I got moody after all that happened,Sat in the party being moody and building random stuff , And after I calm down and recover I started talking and got ignored so I gave up and left
I know this doesn't go on advice I just wanna know what to do because I feel like I'm in the wrong and I feel horrible.
I know I shouldn't have lie about my age , I didn't know what to do and the other issue was is that she had boyfriend while she flirting me with all this stuff she made me fall for her and since I lie about my age and stuff since she was doing all that.
I know this shouldn't go here but I need to know what to do since I feel so horrible and now that their ignoring I'm wondering if I should move on , like go get new friends and give up and stuff.

Hi, I am a musician from Korea, and have been scoring short and independent Korean films for a while now.
My lifelong dream was working with talented people around the world, so I need to strengthen my portfolio.
I've made some tunes with trailers of my favorite films for you guys to see.
I'm always open to working, and at the moment, I need experience rather than a quick money, so I'd be happy to participate for free/low budget.
Thank you, and I hope y'all the best :)

Since my wife died last year, I’ve been travelling across the UK in a decked-out van with my son, Sam. We’ve been heading up to Inverness, his mother’s favourite place, in the hope of scattering her ashes. It’s no surprise, then, that I’m a lover of adventures, is it? Journey to the Lake Choose Your End I picked it up from a charity store yesterday. A hardback novel with a tattered paper cover. Whilst some knock-offs are a little cringe-worthy, I was intrigued by this one. Minuscule white writing on an all-black cover. The stark, sinister minimalism of the art really gripped me. Plus, I have fond memories of the “Choose Your Own Adventure” books from Sam’s childhood. But “Journey to the Lake” seemed a little more mature than the stories I remembered. Choose Your End The title alone seemed bleak, but I didn’t know the half of it. “You reach a crossroads… Uh oh,” Sam said, chuckling as he read the book aloud. “What?” I asked, smiling. “Time to make our first decision,” He replied. “Leave this to me,” I said, cracking my neck decisively. Sam groaned. “Dad, no. You always made the worst decisions with these books back in the day.” “I know,” I said. “Mum was always the smart one. I was the beauty, and she was the brains.” Sam shook his head, before clearing his throat and leaning into the light above the van’s front dashboard. He read with the giddiness of a child. Of course, even at the age of 19, he’s still a child to me. “Pick the safest path to the lake,” Sam read. “Take the road to Yellow Town. Page 11. Or take the road to Brickrock. Page 43.” “Yellow Town!” I exuberantly requested. Sam, being a people-pleasing saint, rolled his eyes and obliged. He flicked through the pages of the dusty, unbranded book and settled on Page 11. To summarise, the road took our character to Yellow Town, a seemingly-serene place with a sinister history. It was haunted by the Seafarer, a stranger who was hanged for slaughtering seven townsfolk. And his ghost, donning a black raincoat, stalked the protagonist. “Oh, so it’s that kind of story,” I said, smiling. “I thought we would be going on a fantastical adventure with dragons and fairies,” Sam gulped. “Maybe the Seafarer has a magical boat?” I suggested, smirking. “Okay… I’m gonna stop there. I’m tired,” Sam said. “Or scared?” I teased. “Well, if you want to stop reading so early, I might as well carry on driving to Carlisle. You okay with that? We could treat ourselves to a hotel, rather than kipping in the van.” Sam shrugged. “Sure. Just wake me in a couple of hours.” But I woke him far earlier than that. You see, we never made it to Carlisle. “Welcome to Joune...?” I whispered, squinting to read the road sign for a town I hadn’t seen on the GPS. The sign might’ve said something else, but it was dark, and one of the letters had faded. I was more concerned with the neat rows of structures that rushed towards us on either side of the road. Quaint cottages, shops, and other quintessential British buildings — but they were all various shades of yellow. Like the town in the book. A strange coincidence. But then, in one of the house’s upper windows, I briefly saw something which glued the flesh of my hands to the steering wheel. A man in a black raincoat. Watching. Journey to the Lake was on my brain, so it had to be confirmation bias. That was what I told myself. Sam laughed when I woke him and explained the situation. He said the tables had turned — suddenly, I was the scaredy-pants. I thought he might be right. “Room for two?” Asked the hotel receptionist at a little B&B in the middle of the town. “Yes, please,” I said. “Two singles, mind.” Sam rolled his eyes — his favourite response to my humorous quips. The receptionist merely nodded and handed over a key. “Room 11. The end,” She said. “Beg your pardon?” I asked in a hoarse whisper, suddenly perturbed by the receptionist’s uneven tone of voice. “The end of the corridor,” She clarified, offering a false smile. “You can’t miss it.” Sam and I practically sleep-walked to our room in the early hours of the morning, but I was overcome by a strange sense of alertness when I plopped onto my bed. I wish I hadn’t remedied that with the following idea. “I’m gonna read a little more,” I said, pulling the book out of my backpack. Sam groaned. “Why did you bring that in here?” I found myself unable to crack one of my usual jokes. “I just have to know what happens next.” Weary from your travels, you graciously accept the keys from the innkeeper. “Room 11. The end,” She says. How? How could the boom have known? Heart gripped by the terrifying and inexplicable sensation of suddenly being watched, I stopped reading. “Ha, ha,” Sam sarcastically grumbled. “I’m going to sleep.” “Read it for yourself,” I shuddered, hurling the book at him. My son sat up and read the page for himself. “Is this one of your jokes? First, the yellow buildings. Now, a scripted conversation?” “You were there in the shop with me. I found the book. I didn’t write it,” I said. “I think we need to go.” A booming sound echoed along the hotel corridor, and goosebumps bubbled across my icy flesh. I’d never been so frightened in my life, but I summoned the bravery to stumble over to the door. “You hear a thunderous creak in the hallway,” Sam read. “Gazing through the peephole, you see…” I didn’t need my son to finish the sentence — yet again, the book had predetermined my actions. And through the peephole of the hotel door, I saw something horrifying. The man in the black raincoat stood in the hallway, one eye peering into the peephole from the other side — as if he could see me. He was warped by the curvature of the glass into a horrifically large, malformed man. Or maybe those were his true dimensions. And there was no accounting for his lifeless, sagging skin. That was surely no trickery of the glass. I screamed, stumbling backwards from the door. “Head into the hallway. Page 59. Exit through the window. Page 115. Dad, what is this?” Sam quivered, seemingly understanding, at long last, that I was not playing a cruel joke. “Page 115, right?” I asked, turning and running over to the window. Sam nodded, leaping to his feet and frantically flipping through the pages as I pulled the curtains open. Fortunately, we were on the ground floor, and the window opened wide enough for us to slip out. Sam went first, taking our bags with him, but I struggled to squeeze my slightly larger form through the window. “Dad!” Sam screeched. And in the reflection of the glass pane, I saw him. Standing behind me. The Seafarer. The door hadn’t opened. I don’t know how he did it. I don’t know how any of it happened. One of his cold hands clamped onto my shoulder, squeezing tightly enough to drain the very life out of my being — his touch filled me with a haunting hollowness that I cannot put into words. An eternal hell that must’ve only lasted a moment in reality. Terrified, I wrenched my body free of the inhuman man’s grasp, and I slithered out of the window after my son. We sprinted to the van and made a hasty getaway, grateful to have chosen the right path this time. Or so we thought. As I drove the way we came, something unexplainable happened. We found ourselves back in Yellow Town. No matter which way we drove, the road always led back to Yellow Town. And that’s when the horrifying gravity of events soon dawned on both of us. We were trapped. We are trapped. Only the book can determine our fate. We’re too frightened to go back to an earlier point in the book and change things, given that we don’t know how this unholy scripture works — all we know is that this isn’t a story. Every consequence is real. Our next choice is as follows: You take the off-road route through the forest. But which road will bring you to the lake in time? Route 15 — Page 152 Route 11 — Page 191 I have no idea which route to take, but I trust Sam’s judgement more than my own. I hope to update all of you soon. If you never see a post from me again, then I guess we’ve chosen the wrong path.

Sleep, I've always loved sleep, or at least the escape of having to know or deal with the world around you. When you were asleep even screaming parents would quiet down, and abusive older siblings were forced to end their torment for a little while at least.
I became the master of faking sleep, to the point my husband and my grown kids do not know when I'm faking sleep. I've always known not to abuse my gift but I've always appreciated that gift, and have heard some of the juciest conversations that I will take to the grave lest it give away the trick.
I often faked sleep as a kid, that sweet sleep often avoided me as a small child. I hated being awake at night, being awake at night meant I would know if my dad entered my room to shoot me in my sleep. If I was awake I would make noise, but if I was asleep I just would never wake up and be in heaven, I was good with that. I just didn't want to be awake and know I was going to die. So I had to go to sleep.
I've always remembered that fear, but until today that memory was dissected in my mind from an odd but comforting memory related to sleep. I remembered that as a child I would hold Cassandra T.Bear close to my chest and imagine her in the back of my head and if I concentrated really hard I could turn my brain backwards and then Cassandra T Bear would hold me. Her arms would have the warmth and kindness of the neighbor who invested time and kindness into my world would give me.
I never thought about why a child would ever do that. In years of therapy I've never felt the need to share this silly inner working of a child mind. Kids are weird, they have crazy conjectures about the world. But it was more than a conjecture, it was a craving a longing, a need. I just needed to turn my brain around and Cassandra would there with her fuzzy warm kind arms.
They've discovered that meditation can help kids heal their brains from abuse and other adverse childhood events. I mean this is measurable in MRI studies.
I didn't know that before today. I broke the cycle of abuse and have been no contact with my family of origin for 13yrs. My kids remember them, but it was my kids that made me realize that we deserved better.
But even without my family causing drama my life has gone off the rails in the most bizarre and stressful way this past year. The nightmares are back, and I just want to go to sleep. I have remembered Cassandra and guess what her fuzzy kind arms are still there.
My youngest daughter (22), that lives 8hrs away and knows I'm having a tough time but I'm not an ass dumping everything on her as she engages in a new life adventure sent me The Deepest Well by Nadine Harris. It talks about the life long physical damage that is done to children that suffer a significant number of adverse childhood events(ACE). On a scale of 0-10, I'm a solid 8. When a child has significant ACE score they know the stress hormone cortisol floods the young brain to toxic levels causing permenate damage in the epigenetics that can be passed on. That this toxic stress reaction causes physical and mental health issues long into midlife..
Meditation reduces that stress hormone decreasing the physical and mental damage. Was it my longing for a comforting fuzzy hug the reason I was able to break the cycle? Is it the reason I have three sleep disorders? Or was the comfort of Cassandra that gave me the ability to disjoint three memories until today.
That in reaction to the fear of my father shooting me, every night I cracked the window by my bed, even in a UT winter. Then I would put all my stuffed animals under the blankets in a me shape, then I would push my matress just a few inches from the wall. Then I wedged myself down between the bed and wall holding Cassandra to my chest, then I would turn my brain around to enter Cassandra's arms.
I'm so thankful for a neighbor who imbued a teddy bear to get be through the darkest nights of my young life, I was maybe 6-7 when I first remember doing this until maybe Jr. High. I'm thankful for whatever reason I was able to break the cycle and have such a kind empathetic daughter who sent me The Deepest Well..

It was a hot humid summer afternoon. me (mío) and my friend (Jake) were chilling in Jake’s basement playing video games. Currently Jake’s air conditioning unit was broken and my house was boring so we were stuck there. “It’s so damn hot” Jake says. “I know, I wish there was a better way to cool off” i say. “Yo dude? You mind if I take my shirt off?” He says “nah it’s your house you do whatever” I say as he pulls off his shirt. As he pulls off his shirt I can’t help but notice how beautiful his chest and arms look. I feel my dick grow in my shorts as I gaze. I try my best to hide it. “You can take yours off too, bro.” Said Jake. I take off my shirt as well. “Damn bro you got a nice decent bod” Jake jokingly says. “Thanks, you too.” I say as I’m pointing to his abs.
We continue playing the game for a while until Jake says “The stupid fan isn’t enough. Dude do you care if I take my pants off?” “Yeah it’s alright is it ok if I take my pants off too?” I say. “Yeah, you do you, bro” Jake says as he takes off his shorts revealing his loose sweaty boxers. I can’t help but look. I can see his tip poking out from the leg hole of his boxers. I take my shorts off revealing my sweaty boxer-briefs with my clearly noticeable bulge. “Woah nice bulge there, mío” Jake says. My face flushed red of embarrassment as I cover it up with my hands. “It’s alright dude. We’re both guys.” Jake says. “That is true” I say.
We continue playing until it got late. I asked Jake if I could spend the night due to me living a few minutes away and neither or us wanted to walk alone in the dark. “Hey Jake Is it ok if I take a shower?” I say “yeah of course, mío. I’ll make your bed” Jake says. I walk to the bathroom and get undressed and turn on the shower. Normally on hot days I’d take a cold shower but today I took a warm shower. After a few minutes in the shower I hear the door open “yo mío? Can I join you?” I hear Jake say. “Uh sure” I say. With Jake being a straight male for the years I’ve known him, this is fairly odd behaviour. Jake soon gets in and I hand him some soap. “Yo mío you wanna compare sizes?” He says. “Jake this you’re acting very strange, what’s up” I say “I’ll tell you once we get out, mío” “ok”. We both get out of the shower dry off and sit on his bed still naked. “Mío ever since we were younger I’ve always had my eyes on you.” “But Jake I thought you were straight?” “No, mío I’m gay, hella gay” he reaches for my shoulder. “Mío you are beautiful”. I’m in a shock. I don’t know what to do. “Jake I-“ “shh, mío.” Jake puts a finger over my lips. And tells me to sit back. He goes over to his dresser and grabs me a pair of his boxers, workout shorts and a tank. “You can wear these to sleep” Jake says. I put them on slowly. Jake goes to turn off the lights and goes into his bed still naked.
It’s an hour later and it’s pitch dark everywhere and I can’t stop thinking about what he said.
On the left side of the room near Jake’s bed I hear some motion. Then I hear him getting up. A few seconds later I feel pressure on the bed and It’s Jake. He’s currently on top of me. “Jake what are you doing?” Jake lays down beside me and gets under the covers. He’s still wearing nothing and I can feel his cock press against my leg. Over the years I did know if I was gay or bi or whatever the hell anything is. But now I know. I’m a fucking homo. I lay on my side and put my hand on Jake’s chest. I move it all around until I get to his cock. I start touching it. He knows what to do and moves his hands down my pants and goes to my dick. We both sit up and I take off my clothes. He starts jerking me off then I push him backwards and stand on all fours over him. I didn’t know what I was doing. I wanted to fuck him but I didn’t know how. I sat up and pushed him up and started to jerk both of our cocks. “You want me to fuck you?” I say in a sexy way. “Yes please” Jake says like a slut. I hop off of the bed to grab some lube and a condom from his bedside table i slide the condom on and I take the lube and put it on my finger to apply to Jake’s asshole. He moans in pleasure as I slide my finger in. The room is already getting hot and steamy from the heat from our bodies and the warm summer night. “Are you ready?” I ask “hell yes, mío” Jake says. I slowly stick my cock in Jake’s ass. I feel him shiver from the input and pleasure. I start going in and out, in and out. He starts moaning from the pleasure as do I. Jake is very tight and he feels good around my cock. It’s a lot for me and him. I start to thrust faster one two, one two. I think In my mind. I put my face close to his and I started making out with him while I was thrusting my cock in and out. “Mío! I’m getting close!” Jake says “so am I” I say. “Let’s cum” he says. We keep fucking until we reached the point of no return. I cum in his ass and he cums on his chest. “AUUGHH” I moan. “That was the most pleasureful experience I’ve felt” I tell him he agrees. We clean up and take another shower together. Then we went back to the bed to cuddle and then sleep.

---Not everything I've ever read, just since I've decided to start keeping a list----- THE EXTREMELY LONG LIST OF EVERYTHING I READ ACTION: solo levelling - I'm not explaining this, read it if you havent 10/10
raise me up infinite gacha - same author as solo levelling, dude basically put into afk arena but it's good 9/10
rankers return - man the reviews for this one are mixed but it's just a very very niche genre, i loved it, imagine hardcore levelling warrior mixed with overgeared, really good and it's a piss take on the genre a little bit so u get to laugh a lot 8/10
sss class suicide hunter - readable, story is all over the place as well as power scaling, has a relatively generic plot too, not a bad read exactly but you may as well just read kill the hero or something. tldr mc respawns 24 hours ago whenever he dies so he's just super OP the end. 5.5/10 eminence in the shadow- Man... I'm really bummed about this one, imagine you know a really cool secret sesh spot and u go there to sesh sometimes and then u show up one day and u find out it's been built into a shopping mall, it's still really good but i don't know i hate when things i like get gentrified the second they make a anime out of it, happens a lot when you read these things, should have seen my reaction when i heard redo of healer was getting an anime, anyway dude basically trains like crazy and is super op and has 8th grade syndrome but it's funny 9/10
legendary mechanic- one of the extremely few Chinese manhua i can stand usually they are terrible and full of really cringe tropes, this one isn't completely free of those but it's ignorable, classic transported into game yadda yadda. escapes evil organization in a game, gets stronger with mechanical things, destroys people. honestly pretty good, 10/10 as far as Chinese manhua go, 7/10 total.
martial peak - it's alright i guess, very one piece coded, just imagine this is Chinese martial arts one piece. It's unnecessarily long, repeats the same format over and over again, you meet new characters u only see once or twice. boy is weak, gets strong martial arts thing (of course he does) becomes super strong over and over and over and over ... 24 or 25 more overs again. any time he becomes too op for the world he just goes to another higher existence world lol there's even a arc with spaceships lmao. if u like the genre and don't mind the literal like 8 page chapters this is a lot of manhua to entertain urself with. tldr if ur super bored this will keep u occupied for quite a while 6/10
tower of god - ok, the art isn't good for a while for this one, but seriously, it gets really really really good, story is confusing at times but it is really entertaining, I've read all of it up until current chapter, guy from outside a magic tower enters it to simp and then climbs it becoming really strong and simping less, very good read 9/10
player from today onwards- not bad, don't really like the art tho, dude inherits level up ability from demon king constellation 7.5/10
the youngest son of the renowned magic clan - if you've read any of those return to past fantasy world manhua this is that basically, read it if ur in the craving for some of this type. 6.5/10 return to player - this is probably almost up there with solo levelling honestly, very good manhua. imagine solo levelling but not solo and better art style, story is a bit worse but that's in comparison to solo levelling. 9/10
kill.the hero - gotta love a good necromancer manhua, this one is one of the better ones honestly. antihero necromancer evil as fuck "hero" 8/10
return of the frozen player - ur generic "player" type manhua, very good though, art isn't the best (still good) but unlike others of the genre the story is actually very well thought out and interesting, probably worth rereading more than a few others of the same genre. man gets frozen after beating the boss of the first floor of a 10 flooworld tower, after 25 years comes out and starts getting stronger to revive friends and conquer tower 8.5/10 what happens inside the dungeon- OK LISTEN RIGHT NOW, R 18+ WARNING!!!! That being said it's a really funny story about a fantasy world with... interesting sex culture, if ur 18+ and want to see a fantasy manga with cool action scenes and a lot of fan service and... other stuff... this one is pretty good 8/10
the wrong way to use healing magic- ok I'm gonna start off by saying, ahem- I WANT ROSE SO BAD I WANT HER SO BAD SHES SO FIND I WANT HER SO INCOMPREHENSIBLY BAD. ok with that out of the way this is a really fun take on the "hurr Durr i use healing magic but not to heal people" fantasy setting. probably my favourite in that category. dude gets accidentally summon to another world with hero classmates, has aptitude for healing magic, gets kidnapped by my wi- ... Rose... and trained into a combative healer. very fun, equal parts comedy, action, Isekai and fantasy. something i would recommend to people who don't like Isekai. 9.5/10
Carsearin - cute little story about a dragon wanting to live like a human and getting up to a lot of shenanigans, art style is super cute 7/10
Is this hero for real? - FFF class trashero creator i think, crazy good, even has a master molong reference :3 mc can't die or be injured but can't level up past level 1 and a shitty goddess 10/10
overgeared - personally very biased this one can go either way, i personally like it a lot, it's a manhua about a dude who gets a legendary class in a realistic VR game and his shenanigans, again, I've finished the almost 2000 chapter light novel because i liked it so much so very biased score 9.5/10
hardcore levelling warrior- you will either love the art style or hate it, in my opinion i think it's super cool and innovative and the manhua itself is very entertaining and interesting too, best player in a vrmmorpg gets his shit deleted, has to start from the beginning and becomes strong again because he's addicted to gambling and has to pay off a massive debt. more shit happens but that's spoilers anyway 8.5/10
the greatest estate developer- i mean it's not bad but it's not really great, at least it tries to be innovative but not my kind of thing, blah blah generic Isekai manhua but mc knows how to build buildings and makes money and uses a shovel as a weapon. 6.5/10
THOSE ONES: Mina sama omocha desu- the one with the crazy girls, nothing really special but at least interesting? good if bored and ijousha no ai has been recently read (if not read that first) 6/10
ijousha no ai - I'm not explaining this one, it's the god i wish i was MC one of those, first few chapters are awkward to read because reasons so just Try to ignore them, very easy 10/10
ana satsujin - basically just a worse ijousha no ai from what I remember, mc isn't as real and it's pacing is a bit worse so only this rating but it's still pretty good 7/10
GS FOR FEELING NOSTALGIC: Asuka hybrid - super super super cute, not good exactly in a solo leveling way or anything but i love the art style, premise and characters, one of the better GS manga 9.5/10
Boku girl - every day i wish for a sequel to this one, even easier perfect score than solo levelling 10/10
Mida love - Some of these are just really fun and god, i was like 14 or something when this stopped getting translated feels super bad, another one of the better ones but only 20 chapters 8/10
nyotai ka - aged like fine wine, the one that actually has sex in it, dude wishes to be a chick and then ruh roh raggy anyway 8.5/10
sekainohate de aimashou- If any manga of this category were to EVER give Boku girl a run for it's money it's this one, goofy as fucking hell, the space one 10/10
the exploding girl - haha this one is just, fun i guess, i could have put it in action but nah, probably sadder about this one getting discontinued than Mida love, Mida love is better in like almost every way but this one is just really fun in an unexplainable way, GB magical girl story but edgier 8/10
tensei pandemic - basically downgraded Boku girl, just imagine it's like the nicotine patches for when u get nicotine poisoning from smoking too much Boku girl, can be pretty hard to finish sometimes 6/10
change- the pink pretty one nuff said, pretty good but have fun translating the Indonesian If u want to read the last 80% of it like high school hahahaha 7/10
thank you Isekai - one of the best Isekai comedies I've read in a very long time, if you don't really like GS this would be the one GS manga I'd recommend you, it's really funny, Isekai but 2 dudes get trapped in the bodies of chicks, goofy behavior ensues. 8/10
ROMANCE:

(content warning: this is one especially is extremely biased to just what i like, it's ok for this specific category if u have differing opinions)

hatsukoi zombie - really fun, love zombie concept is cute and fun really worth a read if ur bored and haven't ever read a decent romance manga 8/10
When I Returned to My Hometown, My Childhood Friend was Broken - TW: SA other than that, cute story about a guy moving back to his hometown to see his childhood friend seems off but they hit it off and he is very sweet to her and the art style is cute but it is a bit short. don't read the comments wherever u read it though, no clue how romance manga somehow manages to attract sigma grindset red pilled bros. 8.5/10
story of an otaku and a gyaru falling in love - not really traditional, just thought it was really cute, definitely worth at least one read 7/10
Jingai San no tome - this is quite possibly the strangest romance manga you will ever read, also a very well written and done one too, basically a student marries a monster and they live together happily it's really cute, other students also have monsters and they hang out and stuff. super cute manga, i loved it. 8.5/10
SHOUNEN/MAINSTREAM: (Here i will just put anything i consider to be so mainstream i don't care enough to put it in another category, you probably know most of these) Black clover: I. Will. Eternally. Gatekeep. This. Series. YOU DO NOT KNOW IT LIKE I DO. THIS MANGA HAD A 1 EPISODE ANIME FOR 2 YEARS AND IT DROVE ME NUTS WAITING FOR THE REST OF THE ANIME. anyway really good manga honestly, one of the few Shonen i can stand. boy can't use magic, gets ability to use magic that destroys magic, gets super buff and can destroy even more magic, there that's the entire plot summarized 8/10
Attack on Titan: ok so brave statements only on this list, i really don't recommend attack on Titan or like it, in my opinion it's very boring and the characters are unlikeable and there's too much sus shit. big naked people destroying walled cities or something idk, bedtime manga only worth reading as a child or bored out of your mind. 5/10.
My hero academia: ok honestly? it's not even that bad the fanbase just sucks, that makes it not as bad as AOT at least, boy can't use power, finds way to use a lot of power, beats people with powers. 7/10
one piece: I mean, depends how you read it, if u just skip to water 7 or marineford its a 7/10 and becomes a 8/10, if u read from the start get ready to read the most 4-5/10 boring ass shit for at least 400-500 chapters. boy wants to be pirate king, eats magic fruit that gives powers, other people also eat different fruit, still wants to be most powerful and assembles characters to help him be the most powerful fruit eater. 7/10 overall. tensei shitara slime Datta Ken: I'd put this in action or something but it's mainstream now. this is THE Isekai manga, if you had to give the title of Isekai manga to one manga this is the only one deserving of that title. dude summoned to other world, becomes slime, can grow by eating things, rinse repeat, if you read the LN there's even some Lovecraft stuff is it obvious i like this one yet? 9/10
ao no exorcist: I'm a sucker for demons and underdogs, mc is both, also mephisto pheles is a fucking stud and i want him horrendously. tldr boy is son of Satan wants to kill Satan because Satan kills adoptive father. 8/10

Sorry for asking the cliche question, but I read in some insta post saying the step 1 passing score is 65% Is it 60% or 65% ??

My score for this season shows that I am 211-180. I have played 95 ranked games in Season 13, so those numbers are impossible! (It's including my record from all of Season 12.)
I am geniunely stunned how such a W-L record could not be accurately represented, and moreso how such a problem cannot be fixed several months into the season.

To all UP business graduates...
Any thoughts? I certainly have no any idea which school would be best for a business degree.
To all UP business graduates, what do you think about UP's curriculum? I heard po hindi maayos curriculum sa business. Can someone pls elaborate what do they mean about "hindi maayos"? Was it the professors po ba? Do most of them just let their students learn the materials by themselves bc no spoon-feed? Ha??? I want to maximize what I'll study in college so much.
"UP has quality education" Sounds pretty vague to me. I'm more curious kung 1st year, "ah we will be having defense, internships. Kaya all goods" Tas sa professors, they would help me test my skills, not just my test scores. If this is true, paano ittest skills? ex. "ah sa discussion iba sa ibang schools bc UP students usually have indiv recitation". Answers like that are what I'm looking for po. Could any of you share what skills that can only be taught in UP? In terms of professors, company connections, environment, or any sides that I should consider po.
Additional, will you consider studying in DLSU, top business school? If so why? may skill set ba sa DLSU na you think wala sa UP?
After college naman. Some would assert that UP tend to be free pass for employment. Is this true po? Kahit hindi part ng top graduates, naddispatch pa rin ng companies? If so, how many months did it take to land on a job?
About me naman, idk drop ko na lang din. What prevents me to study in UP: - No no if mentally fragile daw. Bakit? Is it bc maraming readings? Ipapasang outputs? Inconsiderate profs? Ano nagpapahirap? Tas I thought were all of this necessary in studying? Para namang ano e. Mag-aaral pa lang, lapit na agad sa binggit ni kamatayan. - Baka DLSU has better educ system? (baka lang naman). Hassle daw enrollment sa subjects in UP kaya iba late grumaduate. Tas I was considering the employment din after college. - Students mindset: either to sink or swim. Ano roles ng profs?
Why I consider studying in UP: - Free electives. Ang cool lang kasi I can still learn other subs aside from business. Tho, not sure if susumpain kong subject lang din yung electives tas decide na just focus on my majors. - Free tuition

"Best sleep I've ever had in a year," I said, yawning as I sat up in my cot and looked out the window.
Thankfully the room Kyle and I were handcuffed and locked in had a small porthole in the wall, but the glass was eight inches thick, making it nearly impossible for me to punch my way out.
"Fuck, you're awake?" Kyle asked, as he did push ups on the floor. "I've been trying my old prison workout. Hits different."
"Yeah, well I haven't been to prison yet, so I wouldn't know."
"It's also a huge fucking shame that Task Force Nova Compass Hunter hasn't found us yet. Thought those guys would be coming over here, guns blazing by now."
"Same, but looks like these guys are the real deal anyway. Can't wait for the super-informative job opportunities we'll be faced with today."
Someone slammed on the door, and after the beep of an electronic keycard, Dennis unlocked the door, backed by a dozen guards in riot gear, and Lucy.
"You can chill with the security," I said. "We won't pull anything."
"Correction, you won't do shit." Kyle said, wriggling his wrists from his handcuffs as he jumped up, kicking Dennis in the solar plexus and sending him flying.
The room went fucking wild as I sat back and watched, while Kyle started brawling with a dozen men at once, as his face and head were battered with nightsticks and tasers. He waded through half of them until Lucy finally jumped in, pulling him off and picking him up with one hand before slamming him against the wall, choking him. Kyle kicked her in the face and cracked her nose, and she yelped in pain before throwing him against his cot.
"You like that, yeah?" Kyle said, waving his fists in the air. "Roger, c'mere. Back me up."
"Nah, I know exactly how this is gonna end."
Kyle jumped and drop-kicked the fucking mob of guards at once, planting both of his feet into a riot shield and sending the crowd soaring.
"Why aren't they shooting at us?!" I yelled.
"We're too valuable to shoot, dumbass. Now break your handcuffs and start fighting."
I sighed, telling myself I would wait ten more seconds, and if nobody beat the shit out of Kyle by then, I would jump in to help.
"ROGER!!" He yelled.
Luci picked Kyle up and slammed him into the wall, and stared directly into his eyes, and grabbed his arms as he slowly fell woozy and slumped over.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck." I said, panicking. "What did you do?! Did you fucking kill him?!"
"Relax, he's alive. I just 'put him to sleep'."
"You know, that's the expression most people use to say they killed someone."
I slumped off my cot, standing up and stretching, yawning as I watched Luci and the guards drag Kyle into a cell somewhere below decks.
"So… he's like, really not dead, right?"
"Like I said, he's just fine. I can influence people's minds and emotions by touching them."
"So what's going on with me then?" I asked.
"Since you didn't go apeshit like your buddy," Dennis said, standing up and groaning as he rubbed his head. "We'll proceed as planned. You'll be going on an operation with our combatives team."
"Is Kyle coming with?" I asked.
"Fuck no, who knows what that unpredictable shit is going to do."
"I'm not going if Kyle's not going."
Dennis tensed.
"Roger, I'll talk with my superiors and ask them what they think."
"Sounds fair. Should I get ready to go in a few hours?"
"Yeah, I'll come by here to pick you up near the evening. And, I'll tell you what came of Kyle."
"Thanks."
I lied back down on my cot, taking a deep breath and falling back to sleep, waiting for the knock at the room's door calling me to action.

​
"It's time," he said, as he walked in.
"Fuck it, let's go." I said, stretching and yawning as I stood up.
"You haven't changed out of your fatigues, so I'll just give you the same kit and rifle we picked you up with, all freshly cleaned and loaded. Of course since you're still a high-risk person, we're not giving them to you until the mission officially starts. Follow me."
I got out and walked with him into the corridors, ducking under the steel pipes of the ship until we finally took a short flight of stairs to the main deck, overlooking the ocean, just as the sun began to set. He took me to the side of the boat, where there was a ladder on the side of the hull of the anchored ship, leading down to several airboats filled with armed men. I noticed Kyle was in one of the boats, having no weapons or gear besides a helmet, plate carrier, and a flashlight. He was handcuffed and his feet were shackled to a hundred-pound weight. Dennis tossed my gear and weapons down into the boat, as I climbed down the hull and jumped into the airboat.
"They'll guide you through the mission," Dennis said, before walking off.
The dozen men sitting in the airboat with me all had assault rifles, wearing balaclavas and dark camoflauge under plate carriers stuffed with magazines.
"Listen," one of the men, supposedly the leader, said as the boat started and zoomed away. "Our main objective is to meet with a demon to exchange the skull of one of the Five Leviathans for a demonic artifact we're selling. It might be a setup, so we're keeping our numbers high and risk low. Stay quiet, and don't even fucking think of running, we'll shoot you if you even breathe suspiciously. If you do manage to get away, we put an ankle monitor on while you were sleeping that will explode if you take it off or disable it."
"That's comforting," I replied. "How the fuck did you get a skull of one of the Five Leviathans? Which one is it?"
"Don't worry about it. Focus on shutting the fuck up and paying attention, genius."
Kyle and I sat across from each other in the airboat, sandwiched on either side by the armed mercenaries, as he kept trying to blink at me in morse code while whistling, but he stopped that when he got pistol-whipped. Our boat droned on and on until finally, I caught sight of a small, rocky island covered in trees in the horizon, rapidly approaching in the falling sunlight. The lack of tropical vegitation combined with the weather of our surroundings led me to believe we weren't anywhere near the equator. Most likely in the Pacific or Atlantic, I had gotten familiar to the Northern seas during the months I had spent on battleships during the holy war, as well as my time studying as a marine biologist.

I realize I could probably get some answers from an online search, but I would like some personal experiences I guess.
I’m 25 and approx 12k in total debt from two CCs. I’m going back to school in the fall and will have student debt from that.
What happens to your credit score if you file bankruptcy?
How hard is it to buy a car or a house after settling the debt? I recently saw a post about it not being difficult to get another CC, but I’m more concerned about when I ultimately want to buy a house (soon).
If I file, will I still be eligible for those student loans? I’ve never attended college besides community college which was paid for with scholarships, so I don’t know how any of that works.
If I file, will someone come after my belongings? The only items I own that hold any value are a TV and a laptop…
Please be nice, I’m young and obviously very dumb. Thanks

2 Posts of MasakakiKairi_v2

Post1 - 'PonderPoll' - Poll of MasakakiKairi_v2 - 2 genius questions on hair:

1. Why does Itsuki have wavy hair?
2. How does Raiha's... ponytail stay up?

https://preview.redd.it/f1b5e7wh045b1.png?width=804&format=png&auto=webp&s=c87fa02209d5766db0c77630e387e94898cb8a69

• I commented: Even Tia Ballard talked about Raiha's ponytail in the English VA dub commentary for S01E01. The ponytail is indeed important. Raiha's ponytail has the same importance as Itsuki's ahoge.

Post2 - Nicbentulan Jones, resident conspiracy theorist of 5toubun - Meme of MasakakiKairi_v2
https://preview.redd.it/hmfd0icf045b1.png?width=600&format=png&auto=webp&s=be9d6a521491335c7c2802fc63a5b600bf699cea
'They're putting Uesugi's into the story that turn the freaking quintuplets gay.'

• [Wait, 2 interpretations: Either MasakakiKairi_v2 is Alex Jones and then I'm the 1 who's putting Uesugi's in the story or I'm Alex Jones and then I'm saying Negi Haruba is putting Uesugi's in the story. I guess it's the latter interpretation since the title is 'Nicbentulan Jones'.]
• I commented: Lol.
• I actually looked up 'Alex Jones frogs gay' and then clipped the frogs thing here: Alex Jones says the chemicals in water turn the frogs gay (latest 2018?).
  • MasakakiKairi_v2 truly is a genius. Notice the parallel of (chemicals, water, frogs) = (Uesugi's, story, quints) and in particular the utilisation of my using 'Uesugi' to confusingly mean Raiha instead of Fuutarou puzzle/lame joke. (Without love, it cannot be seen. Or With love, it can be seen.) People would think 'Why would the quints be gay for "Uesugi" when Fuutarou Uesugi is male and the quints are female?' In this case, MasakakiKairi_v2 really says plural Uesugi's, not singular Uesugi, sooo.... (Then again MasakakiKairi_v2 does say the plural quints, when I have only in mind Itsuki to be inclusively homosexual, sooo eh.)
  • If anyone ever considers me a even 1/10 of a genius, then it's because I stood on the shoulders of giants like MasakakiKairi_v2, hyperknees91, UnKarl_Marx, Tusk_Act_IV, k4r6000, Invincybul, ImmortalPharaoh, SyliciX, P_U_T_T_Y and those other people I asked about for my theory. And of course the giants who thought of theories and stuff when the manga was still ongoing eg marcm28 in Fuutarou Will Marry Nino The Most Obvious Clues!
• Table version:

meme	Alex Jones	nicbentulan Jones
Thing that is put in	chemicals	Uesugi's
Thing that receives what is put in	the water	the story
Living things that become gay	the frogs	the quints
The one who puts	?	Negi Haruba
One notable difference: Doesn't like / might like that things are being put in other things that causes certain living things to become gay	Doesn't like	Might like

• Sithling_66 says 'Damn you're getting downvoted to oblivion.' (As of mid 2022Jul, the score is -7. This is hardly 'oblivion'. But thanks though Sithling_66 for the sympathy / empathy / commiseration / compassion / whatchamacallit.)
  • Anyway, I'm antifragile, as Nassim Nicholas Taleb (NNT) would say, like a put option or Yotsuba: The lower the stock price goes the better. The more downvotes I get all the sweeter it will be if I’m later right. But if I’m wrong, then I’m just wrong. No amount of downvotes is going to make things, like, more bitter or something. I can’t be smaller than the world will make me seem. I am as tall as my heart will let me be. See: On the Brightside - by NeverShoutNever
    • (Not really a preview of anything in this theory but...) Preview in main sub: Fuutarou has made Yotsuba antifragile!
  • The asymmetry) favours me: Just 1 confirmation from Negi Haruba is all I need. But a decade of silence from Negi Haruba won't disprove me. It's all devil's proof like Higurashi/Umineko. There's no way you can prove 'all swans are white' from just observing white swans. But just 1 black swan disproves the statement.

Devil's proof - (Higurashi/)Umineko and TQQ - Fuutarou Uesugi as Battler Ushiromiya; Negi Haruba as Beatrice.

Weirdly enough this theory/hypothesis itself I find is pretty antifragile. The more I try to disprove it, eg trying to find out what Itsuki's type is, the more I end up finding more evidence for this theory.

Oh and about conspiracy theories & NNT:

From https://twitter.com/FischerKing64/status/1335631733132161026 as a response to NNT's 'The trouble with conspiracy theories is that, when seen in isolation (particularly without broader context), they follow impeccable logic.'
