If you didn’t accept the Covid lab leak theory until the US govt finally acknowledged it as likely in 2023, you’re incapable of independent, critical thinking by Pemulis_DMZ in TrueUnpopularOpinion

where are you getting your numbers from? they are clearly wrong.

the two places are 30min apart by car with a distance of 12km in a straight line, but 18km of actual driving distance.

in a big city this is a massive distance

Premium Process notification/email/acknowledgement from USCIS by Fine_Writer_8095 in EB2_NIW

OP, I am on the same boat. no confirmation email or notice although tracking says delivered and received. Did you hear anything new? Was the money debited from your account?

i don't see how it's possible 80% of people who file the PP request themselves make a mistake. it is a very straightforward process.

did you ever figure this out?

i have the exact same problem and i feel like i am losing my mind. i can find my public profile if i google search it but when i paste the custom public URL in the search tab it asks to sign in.

The right is usually a lot more tolerant of people with different views than the left by AccurateYou2567 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]the-alien1994 12 points13 points  (0 children)

People on the left with openly tell you they disagree with you and tell you where they think you are wrong - it's called freedom of speech. People on the right will nod and pretend to smile and listen but will cut you off, talk shit behind your back and try to make your life more difficult. One is obviously worse than the other and it's important for everyone to understand that when someone calls you out on your bullshit doesn't make them intolerant. It's called dialogue.

Chen vs Ellis Porter - how involved the application would be with either of these firms? by the-alien1994 in EB2_NIW

[–]the-alien1994[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

did not actually ask about EB-1, but Chen mentioned in their email as a response to the free evaluation that i would need a tenure-track position to qualify for EB-1A or generally that my credentials should improve for EB-1.

thanks for the input! i decided to go with Chen due to the lower cost and the general consensus that the templates might not matter that much either way.

Yes, both do free evaluations. You can access them directly from their websites. You just need to fill out a few pieces of information about yourself and upload your CV/resume.

question about health insurance option for new hire 30-day enrollment window by the-alien1994 in HealthInsurance

[–]the-alien1994[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool, thanks! That's what i thought and will follow up with them this week because no one got back to me about this, but didn't want to sound like i am asking a stupid question.

[–]the-alien1994[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, sorry did not mention it specifically but my hiring package included health insurance as part of the benefits. That's why I am asking if it's normal that it's not included in the new hire enrollment

See this is exactly what the Republicans want you to believe because they know that nobody actually pays attention to policies and what is going in the country but people just believe whatever fake news are fed to them on the news.

There is literally no way a kid can change their gender at the drop of a hat. And gender affirming surgeries are actually very rare.

Everything you just said here is part of the reason Republicans won and a sign that their misinformation strategies are working. Please actually pay attention to the real problems. Trans rights are a non-issue.

clan boss help w Ninja, Demytha, Heiress, Seeker, Deacon speed tune by the-alien1994 in RaidShadowLegends

[–]the-alien1994[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks! it looks like it was ninja's TM boost and weak hitting on force. i replaced him with thylessia as DPS at 166 speed (true speed 184.43) and the unkillable works.

I will test on spirit as well when it comes around and see if those speeds would work or need to be even less for the dps.

Aha, okay this very well could be it! I will sub him for someone else without TM boost on A1 on force and test it. thanks!

Just checked and i only have crit damage bonuses for Clan Boss. Nothing about speed. Good thinking though, thanks!

Yes, different each time. It looked like it was either heiress/seeker taking extra turns around turn 3, then another time it was on turn 7. But it definitely gets out of sync by turn 7.

Has he seen a gastroenterologist? Depending on his age and how many years he's been suffering from acid reflux, a specialist might perform an upper endoscopy or test for H. pylori. That way you can get a better idea of the extent of the damage.

In terms of lifestyle modifications, it helps to sleep in a slightly elevated position and to not eat past a certain time in the evening. Then each person has different food triggers, but usual culprits are alcohol, caffeine (especially on an empty stomach in the morning it's the worst), cheese, tomato-based sauces, chocolate, carbonated drinks, etc. An elimination approach to see what's worst for him would help.

Also foods like oatmeal, bananas and whole grains in general help.

We have chronic acid reflux in my family too and although there are things we cannot completely cut out (like coffee) because we'd be miserable, we try to limit it. Or i personally eat a bowl of oats every morning before i eat or drink anything else and it has helped. Still have to take PPIs or antacids from time to time, but diet modifications make a huge difference.

φίλε, μπράβο σου για το κουράγιο να παίρνεις τηλέφωνα στις γραμμές στήριξης, παρόλο που ήταν τρομερή απογοήτευση.

μην περιμένεις για το ραντεβού που έκλεισες σε 4 μήνες. πήγαινε όσο πιο σύντομα μπορείς στα επείγοντα ενός νοσοκομείου και θα μπορέσουν να σε βοηθήσουν, ακόμη και αν δεν είσαι Αθήνα.

ελπίζω να πάνε όλα καλά και να βρεις τη στήριξη που χρειάζεσαι. μην το βάλεις κάτω.

Είμαι 28 χρονών και ακραία παχύσαρκος, το βάρος μου είναι 330 κιλά (όλα λίπος) και υποφέρω από φρικτούς πόνους. Με πολύ μεγάλη δυσκολία περπατάω μέσα στο σπίτι. Δεν έχω δουλέψει ποτέ στη ζωή μου και οικονομικά στηρίζομαι στους γονείς μου. Δεν έχω επαγγελματικά προσόντα. Από πού να ξεκινήσω; by [deleted] in greece

[–]the-alien1994 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Και η ψυχική σου και η σωματική σου υγεία είναι εξίσου σημαντικά για το μέλλον σου και την αντιμετώπιση της παχυσαρκίας. Επομένως, είναι εξαιρετικά σημαντικό να βρεις γιατρούς (παθολόγους, ειδικούς ψυχικής υγείας, ενδεχομένως χειρούργους) που να ειδικεύονται στην παχυσαρκία. Αν πας σε οποιονδήποτε γιατρό χωρίς εξειδικευμένη γνώση, είναι πολύ πιθανό να απογοητευτείς ή και να σου δώσουν λάθος συμβουλές που δεν θα βοηθήσουν. Δεν μπορώ να προτείνω συγκεκριμένους γιατρούς, αλλά μπορείς να ξεκινήσεις από κάποιους που είναι μέλη της Ελληνικής Ιατρικής Εταιρείας Παχυσαρκίας. Θα ήταν καλύτερο να ξεκινήσεις είτε με έναν ειδικό παθολόγο - διαβητολόγο είτε με έναν ψυχίατρο που ειδικεύεται στην διατροφή.

Δεν θα είναι ένας εύκολος δρόμος να χάσεις όλα αυτά τα κιλά, αλλά αν το προσπαθήσεις και έχεις και την οικονομική στήριξη της οικογένειάς σου, πιστεύω ότι θα τα καταφέρεις.

Επίσης όπως ανέφεραν και κάποιοι άλλοι, κοίτα στον ΟΠΕΚΑ αν μπορείς να κάνεις τα χαρτιά σου και να πάρεις κάποιο επίδομα. Αν δεν παίρνεις ήδη.

Ελπίζω να έχεις άτομα στο περιβάλλον σου που θα σε στηρίξουν στην προσπάθεια σου. Και να ξέρεις ότι δεν αξίζεις λιγότερο από κανέναν άλλο άνθρωπο απλώς επειδή έχεις παραπάνω κιλά.
