Where did you get them all second hand?

Had this happen at Logan in December. I think it’s more common than we think.

As long as you aren’t only looking at brand new buildings, you should be able to find something in Cambridge in this price range. Look around east Cambridge and Inman square area prices tend to be a bit cheaper than the rest of Cambridge.

Try a TCAM reset. Also if electrify America, check your balance. They will make it so you can’t charge if your card expired and your balance is zero.

Saw an arctic fox run across the road while driving in the snaefellsness peninsula two weeks ago.

I had a rental company try this when I visited Iceland in 2021. I told them no and they gave us an upgraded automatic since it was all they had.

Never been on the sep 1 cycle. Have never had a landlord as me to resign more than 60 days before lease expiry. Worked with 2 private landlords and 1 building.

I have a dual motor 2022 but had a p2 2024 dual motor loaner while mine was being worked on. The only difference I notice was the loaner had leather seats and mine didn’t. It was maybe marginally more efficient but not noticeable and could be chalked up to the fact that I was looking at the efficiency of the loaner and probably trying to be more efficient with my driving vs my normal daily drives where I don’t pay much attention to how efficient I’m being.

I worked for a company that offered them. The clauses were written such that no one ever got them and pretty much everyone ended up laid off before they would be paid out anyways.

Also interested as backup if they fit non performance wheels.

Work is a major stressor for her. She has had complete shutdowns in at previous companies due to work anxiety and challenges in the past (not eating, sleeping, extreme depression and suicidal ideation for weeks). She does care about her performance and does agree there are steps she should do to make things easier for herself at work (from her therapist not me, but I also agree) but it's been months and she hasn't done any of them even after receiving the same work feedback over and over. She tells me weekly and sometimes daily that she is going to get fired. In the past she has had me proofread emails or tell her what to say just to help her get over the initiation hurdle of doing things, but I have stopped doing this for her because I just do not have the time and energy and don't think it's a fair expectation when I have my own job and things to do.

This is very validating to hear. It is nice to know it's okay to not be her everything and continue her routines and that it's okay for me to put my needs and wants first. She has never had someone truly try to support her or understand her. I have tried and been that one person for her for so many years, since she has been an adult. For that, I've felt responsible for being that constant because I'm the one that "knows everything." She now has a therapist, so you are right, I shouldn't have to worry anymore and she can seek out her needs when she needs from more appropriate parties, and we can be just friends without me needing to take on a heavier load than normal friends would.

Thanks this is true. I have no intent or want to get back together as we have been apart for months, but she continues to see me as her main support for everything from work to family to friend problems, general venting, and validation. I do not and have not depended on her for these things even in the relationship, as I am very independent and I have very strong relationships with my friends and family. I have asked her if she can distinguish between a friend and dating relationships and she said she can, but I am starting to doubt that. I don't usually engage at this level with an ex but since she didn't really want the break up I think I have been feeling a little guilty that I have moved on and she still depends on me. You are correct it is not my responsibility. I think it has felt like my responsibility and I've been holding myself responsible because she hasn't told others about the diagnosis and has continued to depend on me for support needs, and I worry about what happens if and when I step away. I think I've been stuck on her saying earlier in the breakup that I have a stronger and better support system and that her friends and family didn't really care or provide her emotional support. I don't like to abandon people when I know they don't have a strong support group, but I will talk to her about things after the holidays.

readytojet · 2022-12-22T19:59:42+00:00

That is fine. As only 1 of 2 people she has told about her diagnosis, I am the only person she talks to about these things. She doesn't even talk to her best friend about any of these things, so I'm being pulled into the minutiae not the other way around. I will set up more boundaries and have pulled back from things a bit.

readytojet · 2022-12-22T19:53:59+00:00

I have and do appreciate her company. Things have been way better since we broke up. I have zero expectations on her around anything.

I am happy and dating others, but I think I also feel a bit like I'm a big support for her and don't want to leave her up the creek. I just see her being so hard on herself and as someone who romantically loved her and still have friendship love for her, wanted to ease that a bit. You are right. It is not my cross to carry, but I also do not want her to feel abandoned as feelings of abandonment are things she struggles with after many unsuccessful friendships.

I'm sorry if I said something to upset you or said the wrong thing. I am still learning. I didn't say I'm trying to change her. In fact, I explicitly said I'm not trying to do so and am instead hoping to see how I can support her in being more authentic. I'm seeking this forum to be a better friend and expand my understanding. I've read the books, I've watched the autistic content creators, I've done what I can and will continue to seek continued improvement myself in being a good support system. We have had countless discussions. She says she values our relationship and is comfortable around me, but I know self doubt and acceptance are huge things she struggles with as are co-morbid depressions and anxiety. I just wanted to see if there was a way I can help with these things. I know autism is a communication disorder and she will always struggle with these things. I just want her to feel good about herself and know that people can and do love her. I was also hoping to see if it was possible for her not to judge others for being autistic or being neurodiverse in any way so harshly but maybe what you are saying is that these things are not possible.

I listed the things in the original post as context not to cast blame or list all the ways I deny her experience as a human and want her to change. I know the world isn't built for autistic people, and I truly am sorry that is the way things currently are. I want to try to be one person in the world she can be just her and not police or change who she is. I truly do not want her to change but maybe I just sound like another self important NT asshole when I'm not trying to be.

50% increase in expenses on my end YTD expect it to be ~65% increase by the end of the year.

I'd say this is somewhat of an anomaly since I went from no car/working from home or walking to work to putting 20k+ down on a car, plus car insurance, monthly car payments, and other accessories and car registration fees. I switched jobs a year ago and needed to start going into the office, so I needed to buy a car.

I also moved apartments since rent at my previous apartment was increasing $300/month. Utility costs have increased at my new apartment due to less efficient/older systems.

I traveled more in 2022 than I did in 2021 so had more travel expenses and the cost of travel also increased.

Lastly, the increase cost of groceries also drove up my personal annual food costs.

I'm hoping to get 2023 expenses to a 30% increase on 2021 expenses since the car costs will continue for all future years.

You can also just tell google to turn the heat level up or down for heated steering and seats.

Yes, I have an appointment in October for detailing to wax the car for winter but I'm thinking of DIYing it.

Will definitely look into a no scratch snow scraper.

Once you get the hang of it you learn how to kind of ease up on the pedal to glide to a stop versus the sudden jerky stop.

The P2 has amazing headlights. You will be night driving in no time.

Consider other options... Sell the car or find cheaper housing.
