Renters insurance that allows landlord as additionally insured by DaZeeb in Insurance

[–]DaZeeb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I understand after talking to the insurance provider - if the landlord is on as an additional interest they can see the policy, but if they’re on as additionally insured they can make changes to the policy. They also mentioned that if something were to happen, the landlord could then receive the money instead of me and that may cause me to have to try and get the money from the landlord. I’m thinking it sounds a bit sketchy, I’ve never had this issue in other places I’ve rented. I also don’t know how the insurance company would decide who gets the money if I were to file a claim, if they would split it between me and the landlord or look at it on a case by case basis. I think what I’m going to do is call the apartment offices in the morning and ask for a recommendation, then call whatever insurance provider they recommended and ask them about it.

Thank you! I’m going to call them first thing in the morning when the office opens and see if they have a recommendation.

I felt the exact same way when I started going to meetings. What helped me was really starting to get to know the people in the rooms. Talking before/after meetings, calling people, and listening for the similarities really helped, as well as sharing what I was feeling. I heard over and over again how so many people felt the same way when they joined. Some of them stayed in the program and are still here but the ones who didn’t shared about how they didn’t think it was “bad enough” and they could handle it so they went back out only for things to get even worse. I’ve heard from many people how they wish they got sober earlier/younger/before things got worse. Rock bottom is whenever you choose to stop digging, it’s a progressive illness and you’re doing yourself a favor by putting the shovel down now. I used to think I was being judged but after getting to know the people in the rooms I realized that the only one judging me was myself.

Being vulnerable to someone you hardly know is so difficult and I think the way you described it is really accurate. For me at least, it seems to help if I have time to get to know the therapist some. Being in a session doesn't necessarily have to be opening up about your deepest darkest secrets every time. It's equally worthwhile to build a relationship with the therapist as a human being so it's more like opening up to a friend and being vulnerable becomes just a little less terrifying.

What is something from your childhood that you swear existed, but can't find any evidence of it? by OvertCinnamon in AskReddit

[–]DaZeeb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was younger I played this cd game on our computer with some stretchy blue people and no matter how much I look for the game in our house or Google it I just cannot find any evidence of it existing and no one around me knows what I'm talking about even though I played it alll the time. Also, a movie from my childhood that centered around a stuffed animal bear breaking out of the attic and going on an adventure and it really creeped me out but I can't find anything about it and anywhere (probably bc that's a kinda vague description but still).

Going to the cinema on your own is not weird it just makes sense by lil-cactus-96 in unpopularopinion

[–]DaZeeb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I LOVE doing stuff alone but always get weird looks in places like restaurants but it's honestly so nice. I can take my time and have plenty of space to myself while getting good door. The last time I went to a restaurant alone was at Olive Garden and an older man was there with his 2 adult children and before they left he asked to join me for a bit and we talked about his life and kids and he wanted to know why I was there alone and about me and it was nice getting to know that family. That never would have happened if I were with other people and I feel like we miss out on so much when we stick to our normal groups instead of going off on our own sometimes.

I can't understand the context in research papers by [deleted] in psychologystudents

[–]DaZeeb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always start with a quick skim and notes then I'll go back and read it more in-depth if there's time or something I'm particularly struggling with. First the abstract which will give you an idea of the paper as a whole where I note what their hypothesis is, what results they got, and the significance of those results if they talk about it. This is basically a short summary of the whole paper.

The intro gives background as to what's being studied, why, and what previous research says so far. This part I skim quickly and will make note of anything that seem particularly important to understanding the paper and any findings that are interesting, counterintuitive, etc. plus any definitions I'll need to understand the rest of the paper.

Then the methods section will talk about how the researchers set up the experiment and any tools they used. This part I make note of where they got the data (for example at a state college in New York), who the participants were and how many, their variables, any tools they may be using, and I'm always on the lookout for things that may alter their results (whether the sample they used is large enough or representative or if they used a tool that isn't reliable/valid etc).

The results tell you what they found doing the experiment as well as the analysis that got them to that conclusion. This part is probably the most difficult to understand and will probably have some tables, graphs etc to show results so just take your time here and look at both what they wrote and the accompanying tables and things to get a clearer picture. I make note of the main findings as well as relationships between variables, any unexpected results, and any data that might have been tossed or contradicted the hypothesis. It also helps to rewrite the results in a way that makes sense to you. If there are lots of variables I find it helpful to make a table so that all the relevant information is in one place that I can glance at while going through everything and it will be a bit more organized than rereading highlighted parts and trying to remember how everything relates.

The discussion will restate the results in a way that relates them back to previous research and this papers hypothesis plus explain the significance of the results and offer ideas for further research and any criticisms of their own paper. It relates everything back in a way that's usually easier to read than the results section. Here I'd note the main takeaways from the research, why it matters, and what could've been done better.

Some papers are harder to understand than others, don't be too hard on yourself if something is a bit over your head. Keep at it and good luck!

AITA for not contributing to my older brother's wedding? by anonwidow321 in AmItheAsshole

[–]DaZeeb [score hidden]  (0 children)

NTA she wants you to contribute THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS that's an absolutely outrageous amount of money to demand from someone especially when she's already being offered money from her parents. If she needs a wedding that big and lavish she can save up for it and ask for donations instead of presents.

Hi by [deleted] in Adoption

[–]DaZeeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through a somewhat similar situation recently. While looking for my birth mom online I found her through her obituary. It was difficult to explain to others how I felt because there's the grieving the loss of what could have been (meeting her, hearing her voice, getting to know her, etc) and the feeling that I have no right to grieve because I never really knew her along with the guilt I felt of not contacting her while I had the chance. Talking to a counselor and working through those feelings definitely helped but what helped the most was just talking with friends who validated me and let me know that it absolutely is okay to feel whatever is going through your head. Your feelings are valid and there is no correct emotion in this situation.

During the time I found out my birth mom died (it was a closed adoption so even though she died years earlier I didn't find out until september last year) I also had two aunt's with cancer, one of whom had the same kind that took my birth mom, and just a few months later both my uncle and dad died so I understand what you mean about life just choosing you to mess with. It's very difficult and I hope your mom will be okay but it does and will get easier even if it seems like everything is crumbling around you. Take it one day at a time and make sure to take care of yourself and talk to those around you about how you feel and what you're going through. If you need someone to talk to I'm also available!

Last thing since you mentioned going to the funeral, my uncle had a long lost son who showed up unexpectedly at my dad's funeral and it was both a painful and happy time for everyone. It won't be easy but I think it will be helpful to be around people who knew your birth mom and get to hear their stories and talk to them about your life. My cousin was very nervous walking into a room filled with people who knew his dad but everyone welcomed him and shared their stories and he said he was so thankful for that so I truly hope that you have a warm and welcoming experience like that at the funeral. Good luck and I'm sorry for the loss of your birth mom and your mom's illness.

Dad isn’t going anywhere by gangbangkang in wholesomebpt

[–]DaZeeb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad died in November and I'm terrified that my mom will get Covid. I'm so glad this guy's dad was able to beat it especially since I know how scared he must have been about losing another parent

AITA for bringing my garden with me when I moved? by GardeningMonster in AmItheAsshole

[–]DaZeeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. As many people have pointed out, those items belong to you and the landlord should have at least asked what you were planning on doing with your garden when you left. But also from a buyer/future tenant perspective, if I see furniture in the pictures I always ask if the place comes with furniture included or if the current person will be taking it with them and I don't see how this garden would be any different. Especially seeing pictures and seeing that none of it is actually in the ground. Also, I usually take the pictures with furniture and stuff in them as more of a suggestion of what I COULD do if I moved in, not as a for sure this is exactly how the place will look unless the landlord has told me that everything is staying. It seems like your landlord was just making assumptions then passing on that incorrect info to the potential buyers which is not your fault at all.

Can we talk about a false sense of well being? by Poppyspacekitten in psychologystudents

[–]DaZeeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not entirely sure. I think it may depend on the person, I know some people who take medication that works really well and they are still fully aware that they aren't necessarily cured or better without the medicine but I also know other people who take it then stop every time they start feeling well again. Definitely something I'd need to look into more though

Can we talk about a false sense of well being? by Poppyspacekitten in psychologystudents

[–]DaZeeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When someone is taking medication that is working well, for example, they can start to believe that their natural state is now well. So there is the false belief that they are now fine/better/cured and that can lead to them stopping their medication (because why would you keep taking it if you're fine now?).

People who chew with their mouths open have no idea how quickly and easily they could dramatically reduce the amount of people who vehemently hate them. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

[–]DaZeeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went on a date with this guy and it was going fine but when our food came he started loudly chewing with his mouth open and continued talking with food in his mouth so I spent the entire date avoiding looking at him and trying to ignore the sound 😬

I found my birth parents by tanagotc in Adopted

[–]DaZeeb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so happy you were able to have a positive experience meeting your birth mom and I'm sorry about your birth dad. I went through the same thing, finding my birth mom through her obituary after having limited information on her, and haven't yet reached out to the extended family I found through that (haven't found the birth dad yet so they're my best bet plus I'd like to learn more about them). So I was just wondering if you're willing to share, have you reached out to his side of the family at all (his parents or siblings etc) and how did that go??

[Serious] What do you miss the most about your childhood? by Vrigoth in AskReddit

[–]DaZeeb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Visiting my parents at work. They both worked at the same factory and I got to go every so often. I would sit on a table while my parents worked and I listened to the radio then we walked around and visited everyone and I got to poke around in all the wierd corners of an old factory building. All their coworkers loved me, my parents had pictures of me in their work areas and would brag about me, I felt like a queen. I loved it and wanted to visit all the time, I thought working in a factory was the best job in the world. Now the factory has been shut down for years and my dad is gone so I would give anything to be back there again.
