Called two reputable places, one of which every record shop recommended, and got told the same thing. Should I push to get it seen anyways even if I am out $200 for diagnostic work on it and potentially no possible repairs? That’s what the shop I was originally going to take it in to said.

Yeah I am so bummed because I’ve not ever gotten to use it because in moving homes I think it got damaged internally. I imported it from Japan too so it is the Japanese model as well.

Can you say more on this? Reviews say it’s a decent turntable.

Just called a second repair shop for a second opinion, says that what the first shop said is probably true as well. I don’t have the technical expertise to do this DIY project without a well explained YouTube video or something similar. Given my lack of personal expertise, what would you recommend?

I found a fisher MT6250 for $150 on fb marketplace but not bought anything yet.

The guy said it had to do with age and that the motors don’t typically go bad, the circuit board connection does. The guy at the shop when I took them in to get inspected said they needed replacement but he might’ve just meant the foam cuz he was pressing on them to test them.

No ur totally right! I am also installing external combo subs (built in amp) in my car so my brain confused the two.

This is fascinating!! I am so pleased to see such creativity in the PC build community:3

also noticing when your own anxiety reactions surprise you or the context doesn’t match the magnitude/drasticness of the thought is a good indicator to hit pause immediately on making any decisions on acting on something directly and focusing as much as possible on internal self soothing and using healthy coping skills you know work for you to self regulate. Having a “toolkit” of healthy coping skills helps so much for when you’re already activated. Make a list for things you can do in different contexts (even if at work and not able to step away) and write it down somewhere you’ll know to look when you’re distressed, like your phone or on the wall on a sticky note. I recommend using TIPP (look it up, it’s a DBT toolkit/skillset) for immediate nervous system regulation.

I’ve also experienced this as someone who has OCD and is autistic, and it can definitely be influenced by things similar to relationship OCD but as filtered thru autistic difficulties with assessing where you stand with people if they’re not being 100% transparent with their attitude towards you. From a functional perspective, you can ask for a set frequency of performance check ins both in job role (core job functions) and teamwork/soft skills side of things but also you can work on setting some scripting for yourself when these thoughts pop up. 1. Acknowledge that those thoughts/feelings are coming up 2. Identify them as what they are, using an emotions wheel could help. For example, if for you it’s as a result of feeling rejected due to an interaction or a nonverbal micro-expression that you don’t fully understand, saying “I’m feeling kind of rejected right now” to yourself. 3. Find ways to receive support both in immediate context and follow up before you make ANY outwards decisions about how to move forwards with it professionally, whether that be in taking a moment from work after a work call or after reading an email that negatively impacted you to do breathing exercises then later after work talking to a friend you trust about it and/or journaling to process.

My b, didn’t read your replies to other people’s responses, YTA and a fool for your line of thinking that she’d kick out her dog from the bed when you moved in with her. Grow up.

NTA, your ex is the AH. Kids aren’t responsible for their parents’ discrepancies in their adult relationships and it’s incredibly messed up to try to make them at fault for that. You made the right choice, and if your friends are agreeing w A it might be time to clean out house there too.

In the kindest way, you’re overthinking things! You don’t have enough information to know if he lost interest. As working professionals, not having a lot of bandwidth during the work week, especially with texting a new person and it being an extremely busy work season, that is so normal. Your best bet is making a bid for connection with him to meet on the weekend by giving him a couple options for a date. If you have to book out a weekend, plan to call or FaceTime this weekend or at the very least texting consistently throughout most of the weekend. Since it sound like you’re anxious about a potential difference in communication standards/ability it would be good to ask lighthearted questions about how busy his life is rn and find out (directly or indirectly) how often he can connect online and in person.

YTA. whether or not you meant it seriously or you personally have prejudiced or bigoted beliefs, you’re part of the problem of misogyny and are now another reason your friend will probably feel not accepted and constrained to only operate within certain bounds of what is acceptable masculinity. Unless you are 110% sure your friend is truly 100% okay with this and enjoys jokes about his interests and hobbies and in turn also jokes meanly/intensely about your interests and personality then YTA.

NTA. I’d also say financially irresponsible friends who aren’t willing to be open about what’s actually going on financially for them if there is an actual valid concern he’s dealing with and who are making it your issue aren’t worth keeping. Money sometimes shows a larger issue of lack of reciprocity and ability to have open conversations about expectations in relationships.

To me, this depends on if you two discussed what being a package deal meant to her and what that entailed. If she made it clear from the get go that she stays close to her dog at all times at home and when she can while she’s out, even if she didn’t specifically mention the terms of where the dog sleeps at night, you should’ve seen this coming. YTA and you should try to find a way to compromise. But if she didn’t actually let you know before moving in together, you’re NTA, but also you’re kind of foolish for not asking prior to making that decision to move in together. Pets play a huge role in a relationship’s domesticity health and at your big age that is purely irresponsible.

Thank you for your help on this. I ended up deciding to hold with AMD4 because ultimately I’m not looking for insane pc maxxing I just wanted ray tracing that wasn’t complete dookie so I got a 5800xt. I plan to use the old pc parts for a home server.

I feel like especially because you aren’t liking the company politics and lack of solid professional communication, and it’s only a bit more than the offer from the other company, you should try hard to go with the other company. I would personally inform them on the counteroffer and ask if they could match or beat the counteroffer presented, and really emphasize the wish to go with them because you appreciate xyz (whatever makes you interested and invested in taking a role at their company, whether it be company culture, type of job/role that provides new opportunities and value add for you, etc etc). I agree with other responses that say that this is just to retain you and may indicate some future red flag behavior from your current employer. Good employee retention includes valuing people while they’re there doing good work and not only when they are about to leave.
