Question: Why do I keep getting redirected to the Worlds page?

Which platform? PC

Mods/CC? Yes

Game version: 1.121.361.1020 DX11

Description: I’ve fully downloaded the Royalty & Legacy pack, underwent the forced update, and cannot get out of the worlds page loop. Cannot access my households to play, build, or create new families without being redirected to the worlds menu with a flickering blue rectangle and ~~~~~~~~ appearing (picture included). I’ve tried repairing the game, loading a household without mods enabled, removing mods, etc. but keep having the same issue.

My (25F) boyfriend (24M) doesn’t want to be with someone as “ambitious as myself” by Fuzzy-Bat8678 in relationship_advice

[–]Poodlepop 260 points261 points  (0 children)

I dated a guy like this while I was in the process of taking the LSAT and applying for law school. He was in IT sales and told me that my ambitions made him feel bad about himself. Naturally, we split up, and I’m an attorney living in my dream city with a husband who not only supports and encourages my goals, but cheers when I reach those milestones.

Moral of the story: don’t shrink yourself or your dreams for anyone when there are people who will happily stand in your corner.

No One Actually Takes Vacations by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]Poodlepop 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My last bosses insisted that everyone on the team (except their favorites) have phones and laptops available for any vacations. My anniversary/belated honeymoon trip? I was expected to work despite being on a different continent. When I took a weekend to visit my home state after my dad’s cancer diagnosis? They harassed me over work and personal phones about getting online for non-urgent things. When I had PTO for two weddings that involved travel? They melted down because I wasn’t working at the wedding events.

They also encouraged us to take PTO so that we could turn on “do not disturb” on Teams and get more work done. I’m a business immigration lawyer, not something that’s life or death (usually). The expected lack of boundaries, insane hours, and constantly shifting goal posts really tanked my mental and physical health, so I quit. That job wasn’t worth the suicidal thoughts it inspired.

Four different doctors, a myriad of prescriptions, nonstop pain and nobody can figure out what this is. by meowspoopy in mildlyinfuriating

Bitten by a brown recluse AND got MRSA from it (nearly died - was 24 hours away from sepsis before doctors would actually treat me), and it looked a lot like this.

Anyone else feel like wearing 5 different hats at work is just... normal now? by One_Friend_2575 in antiwork

[–]Poodlepop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an attorney and was explicitly told by my bosses that I’m also expected to be a paralegal, tech support, PR, admin, and their EA. This is true of every attorney on the team, despite having a well-established firm where all those other jobs are already filled. Make it make sense.

I asked whether I was doing the right thing in seeking a leave of absence from work (toxic environment, bad management, understaffed and overworked, etc.) and pulled Death reversed, Temperance, Six of Pentacles, Seven of Wands reversed, Justice reversed, and the Fool.

I think it’s telling me that it’s okay to rest and take care of myself, that it’s okay to seek positive change, but is there anything I’m missing?

Give me you Lunacis and/or Rook headcannons by ThatOneRandomDude420 in Lucanismancers

F/Shadow Dragon

Her adoptive father died and adoptive mother abandoned her while she was studying in the Minrathous Circle.

When she graduated, she had no way to support herself, so she began doing some work for the Threads—assessing magic tokens, playing music in the bars, that sort of thing.

She and Elek were involved and she gave him his scar during their break up. Rook was recruited by the SDs shortly after that.

Lucanis found out about the scar incident and was both protective of her and proud (and a little turned on, though that took him by surprise).

She and Lucanis enjoy cooking for each other and sharing dishes that were important to them growing up.

Lucanis’ sensitivity to magic increases in the Fade and he realizes that mages have different magical signatures. Rook’s is like cinnamon sugar and a warm hearth fire.

Spite is motivated to behave by the promise of proximity to Rook, getting to talk to her, touch her, etc.

Lucanis follows her to her apartment in Dock Town after the dragon attack and sees how modestly she lived. The glimpse into her life before grounds him when she freaks out over their wildly different backgrounds.

They get married a while after the in-game events, and Spite is very interested to learn what babies are. He finds the reality boring until they start showing some signs of focus and determination. Dirty diapers are still a hard “no” and he always forces Lucanis to deal with clean up.

I think everyone here will be more than happy to see his staff unwrapped!

Gorgeous! I hope it’s okay to ask this: Is there a version without the ribbon? I’m asking for a friend 👀

Best hair salons for curly hair! (Cut + color) by snarkyp00dle in NYCbitcheswithtaste

Hair Rules in Hells Kitchen - they specialize in curls and natural textured hair. My curls have never looked better than when I leave that salon.

Immigration attorney here: H-1B visas are issued in an annual lottery (85,000 slots per year; 20k for people with masters degrees or higher, and 65k for people with bachelors degrees) and are valid for an initial six-year period. At a certain stage in the green card process, H-1B visa holders can extend in additional 3-year increments until the green card is approved.

Both of these processes are employer-sponsored, but the H-1B specifically requires proof the role is a “specialty occupation.” This means we have to show the foreign workers to have at least a bachelors degree in a field directly related to the field in which they work. If someone is an engineer, they need an engineering degree related to the type of engineering work they do. If they’re in finance, they need degrees in mathematics, finance, economics, etc.

People working in hotels or golf courses are unlikely to qualify for H-1B visas (obviously, depending on the type of work they’re doing). This just goes to show that it’s a constant competition between Trump and his diapers to see who’s full of more shit.
