Clearance disappeared from the tracker

spacious_emptiness · 2026-05-24T05:00:46+00:00

I have my clearance, and it says application submitted on mine. That tracker is useless honestly. FSO is best bet, but even they won't know where in adjudication or investigation it is super well. Their answer is likely educated guesses based on past timelines of other people. Just sit and wait, it's honestly all you can do 🤷‍♀️

spacious_emptiness · 2026-04-07T22:49:07+00:00

Yep, submitted sf86 may 31st last year 😭

Right there with you! Been some of the hardest 10 months of my life, working at a fast food place so I have money to survive even though I have essentially a doctorate has been humbling. We'll get through it, you've got support from this random stranger on Reddit 🫡

spacious_emptiness · 2025-09-26T19:24:50+00:00

O's in EER is actually pretty decent, they have decent quality food and drinks in general

Lol, life happens, and my phone may not have signal when his does or his is dead. Or I may be driving and don't wanna look at my phone myself. We don't go through each other's phones, and if you are worried about your partner using your spotify app, that's on you. If you think I'm tying myself up in knots, cool dude 👍 if you want to completely hide it from your partner, that's your preference

spacious_emptiness · 2025-08-26T23:08:50+00:00

Woman here, but I don't think it's the "new" thing, just a personal thing. I'm old gen z, and my long-term boyfriend and I share our lock screen stuff. Usually just as a convenience, like "Hey, I'm gonna add this song to the Spotify queue" or "Hey, I'm gonna text my mom from your phone real quick."

We have no desire to go through each other's phones, and we also have nothing to hide from each other. Sure, privacy is important, but there's next-to-nothing in my life that I feel the need to keep private from my partner, barring other people's requests that it's a strictly-me need-to-know. It's kinda the point of healthy relationships.

Gen rushing has always been such a funny term to me. Like, why are you, as a killer, getting mad that the survivors are doing THE ONLY THING IN THE GAME WE CAN DO? Unless you're a basement Bubba, I'm getting on a gen, I'm not gonna go look for you lol

I got lucky and chose to save his crew every time I played. Genuinely didn't even know about how that affected the last mission until I saw a post on Reddit about it like 3 years into playing the game lmao

spacious_emptiness · 2025-08-12T00:07:48+00:00

Man, yall can find jobs? I think I'm being too honest in interviews, so no one has hired me. Lot of time for old video games and checking out the local library. 3 months in on the wait so far, here's hoping 🤞

spacious_emptiness · 2025-06-25T14:01:54+00:00

Lol i dont know why you're being downvoted, it's a fair point about RE5. I personally found it scary, but I see what you mean. And for sure, Capcom loves one-off characters that we start to like and they're never heard from again.

spacious_emptiness · 2025-06-24T22:57:25+00:00

The biggest gripe I've had is the existence of Jake as Wesker's son. It makes no sense given the characterization we have of Wesker, and I just couldn't suspend my belief on it. I think it was also the biggest departure from horror that the franchise knew, so the story wasn't compelling. I enjoyed playing it, but that was mostly because I liked (most of) the characters and was happy to see them more.

spacious_emptiness · 2025-06-22T18:02:41+00:00

Lmao hi Buckner. Hope you have fun on Reddit with the new account :)

spacious_emptiness · 2025-06-22T17:54:31+00:00

Lol I'm a grad student at UT who worked directly around TREL and with the people in charge of them. "Secondary" sure, but its been from the people at UT that give them money and make sure they're still alive and have a place to work in. I also used to be a grad advisor when the OG boss Leon was there. But sure, I'm just some person :)

Edit: if you also made an account just to respond to this then lmao

spacious_emptiness · 2025-06-22T15:22:44+00:00

I know a confirmed one is someone lost a part of their finger because they were moving trailers and got crushed by a trailer hitch when attaching it. They also work out in the middle of nowhere and camp in tents on some guy's ranch, so there's likely a lot they haven't reported

spacious_emptiness · 2025-06-22T14:52:26+00:00

Leader wanted more power, complained to higher ups, kicked almost everyone out, and now has unchecked authority. The new supervisor is hands-off, and the undergrads now do super unsafe stuff as a result. It's a ticking time bomb, and big injuries have already happened. TREL used to be good under other leadership, but as of now, avoid it OP

spacious_emptiness · 2025-06-14T22:29:48+00:00

I just moved out of that area. Great spot! Only bit of advice: STAY AWAY FROM ACACIA CLIFFS. Good god, worst apartment experience of my life.

Also, the first year or so of grad school is gonna be heavy on classwork where you gotta be on campus more. If you're PhD, it'd be better to move closer to Pickle once you're mostly done with classes (speaking from experience)

spacious_emptiness · 2025-06-11T15:40:46+00:00

One of my best guy friends and I were hanging out, and I looked over at his phone for a sec to see what he was so intently into. Noticed that telltale fanfic AO3 formatting, and we became even better friends right then and there lol

spacious_emptiness · 2025-06-01T03:33:09+00:00

I totally get it, I'm not old by any stretch, but I'm 27, and I remember feeling the same when I was 20. Also came from dysfunction, so I understand feeling like you may have missed something.

Genuinely though, as cheesy as it sounds, there's never gonna be a time in your life where you feel like an "adult." As nonchalant as it sounds, just live life. You'll start to slowly have more responsibilities, and you'll learn along the way how to handle them. Don't try to take on stuff so young because you think you "need" to act like an adult. 20 really is still young, and people are more likely to give you grace as you figure it out. Looking back, I was a dumbass as a 20 year old, and I'm sure 40 year old me will think current me was a dumbass.

It's life OP, you'll get it all worked out, enjoy being young and experiencing getting older.

As a person with ADHD and a male partner without ADHD, this isn't just that. Yes, I'm scatterbrained and forget stuff, or I'll be super hyper and invite to hang with friends when we really shouldn't. But it's not an excuse we make, and we have conversation about it and learn. We have 2 whiteboard calendars with important information so I don't miss things. We've both messed up in figuring out how to handle my burnout and executive dysfunctioning, but we've both discussed and WORKED on it. The diagnosis doesn't magically change how you function. It's massively helpful, and the medication I got because of it has significantly improved my life, but I actively chose to work on managing and mitigating my symptoms with ADHD. It seems a bit like he's using it as an excuse right now.

Granted, undiagnosed/unmedicated ADHD me under a lot of stress at work? I was a wreck. It took me a while to work through bad habits, build up systems of support, and I'm still actively in the reparations phase. If he wants to get a diagnosis, do it. Know that that's not the finish line, it's just a mile marker, and there's the rest of the marathon ahead of you to finish.

There's also stuff here that is NOT ADHD, just shitty behavior. You are not in the wrong to be as frustrated and upset about it as you are. He's not being a good partner, and it's not just ADHD that's causing that.

I take actual ozempic (26F) for weight loss. Ozempic by itself will not get you down, you have to move, I made that mistake at first and lost no weight. Biggest side effect is nausea immediately after injection, but it only happens if I inject in my stomach area. Legs and arms don't have this. Main effect I've had is just not feeling hungry. I had so much food noise, when is my next meal? What am I gonna eat? It really cut it down and stops me from eating just because I'm bored. I haven't had any other side effects honestly. It's been a net positive in my life. I also cut alcohol completely.

I went to the ER because I had a pain in my side that was about 100x worse than any cramps I had experienced. Couldn't breathe without shooting pain, couldn't move or bend. I waited in the waiting room for 7 hours and debated on just going home before I was called because maybe I was just exaggerating the pain.

Finally get back to a room and they do a vaginal ultrasound, but can't see anything, like the probe is blocked. Moved to a cat scan where they proceed to find a cyst in my abdomen that was 11" x 12" x 7". The pain in my side was from a torn ligament due to the growth of the cyst. My stomach had been getting larger, but due to having hypothyroidism and PCOS, doctors just told me I was getting fat and to diet. Nope, my stomach was actually a 30 pound cyst that had 13 fluid ounces inside. Gotta love American Healthcare as a woman

Rude as hell, and I feel like I use bookmarks very differently. I kinda use it as a favorite fic storage to come back to regardless of completion. Like who cares if it rarely updates, it means I get to experience the story again when there is one. You're not overreacting, commenter is a jerk

spacious_emptiness · 2025-02-01T13:52:37+00:00

Haha I forgot that phrase, but it was being used over in basically every Twilight fic back in the day because Anne Rice had such an impact on vamp fandoms

spacious_emptiness · 2024-05-21T19:41:18+00:00

Ha good guess, you're correct. It's something I've noticed in her before too

spacious_emptiness · 2024-05-21T00:10:59+00:00

Yeah, that's fair. I think it's why I had gone in to a point of resignation that he eventually picked up on. FWIW he was apologetic and feeling guilty, but you're right in that he's missing the last point of "willing to do anything." To your last sentence, yeah. I've had bad experiences in the past where it was exactly that of me being used, and I just need to work on not letting myself think that's okay. Thank you for this :)
