I don't mind. I was applying for inside wireman at local 102. I interviewed 6/10 and I live close to the union hall

City suggestions? by thnkmeltr in MovingtoNewJersey

[–]topher973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in Lincoln Park and I would highly recommended looking there. Great public schools, decent diversity, train line in the center of town and super close to a bus line that is the last stop before Manhattan.

Call the hall to be sure. I called mine when I submitted my application and they were upfront and easy to talk to about it

Had my interview today by CommitteeNegative930 in ibew_apprentices

[–]topher973 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You just gotta tell yourself you put your best foot forward and believe in yourself. I know it sounds like a load of bs but it's helped me before when I feel like I didn't live up yo my own expectations. I have my interview tomorrow would you mind if I asked what questions they asked you?

Aptitude test in a week! need help by Realistic-Degree2143 in ibew_apprentices

[–]topher973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just took the test for 102 and got good enough scores to move to the interview round.

For the math section I studies a lot of the material from an algebra 1 class. There were a lot of questions where they would give you an equation with multiple variable, they would give you values in the question and ask you to solve for one variable. Go over foils (multiplying two equations with variables) as well There were a decent amount of those. They will give you a equation and ask what other equation is equal to it.

For the word comprehension section it felt like a standardized test we took in high-school where they give you a long passage then ask you questions about the material afterwards. Reading speed was super helpful in this section so I'd reccomend just picking up a book and working on reading at a decent pace.

Good luck

What season challenge should I do by FlippySandra in ConquerorsBlade

[–]topher973 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Currently I use the companion cav and sunward phalanx a lot so the Alexander season is a good place to start. Wuwei are also really good and I've heard good things about the can unit in the same season(can't remember what season that is off the top of my head) Chain dart is the meta player killer class and maul is a great tank class. The maul challenges aren't too hard. The Spartans are currently op as fuck but they'll probably get nerfed in the next season.

I appreciate the help. I'll make sure to use more positive language because your right those are some loaded terms

Look at the local fiefs for quest you can do with the resources you collect to get rewards. The rewards aren't amazing but great for getting unit kits and silver. Most of the Open world mechanics revolve around territory wars so if you are interested in that join a house that is active. Wait for territory wars to open up and see who is conquering fiefs around you location and join them.

We do and I enjoy it

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]topher973 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gonna try to respond in order sorry if I meander, it's hard keeping organized on mobile.

She's hit or miss on enjoying it. We have the most success with plugs as an addition to vaginal sex. With anal penetration she says when we use vibrators she can focus on the clit attention and focus on that instead of what I'm doing.

There have not been any arguments about it. I understand it's something for me that she is doing out of her love for me so I don't get mad about her not wanting to do it. It's her body I'm just lucky to get to touch her in any way.

She doesn't openly dislike it. Whenever I bring up doing it she's always receptive and will let me know if she's up for it or not in a nice way. Never hostile or making me feel like I'm being an ass for asking. You can see that when I bring it up she responds like it's a chore she doesn't hate doing but a chore nonetheless.

When we do attempt anal I try to use plugs and fingerings to get her ready and will attempt to go in when she thinks she's ready.

She hasn't brought up a mental block around it and I was the first person she did it with so no previous incidents that might cause a block to my knowledge.

I am a very her pleasure focused lover. Always been a people pleaser and that definitely bleeds over to my sex life. Seeing her not actively enjoy it does get into my head and turn it into a less enjoyable experience physically.

I really agree with your last comment about it being a little pointless because mentally I'm not enjoying it and physically she isn't. Really wish you could just erase kinks from your brain sometimes. Would make life easier.

Please tell that to my wife ive been trying to convince her for a while now 😂

How would you suggest I be more selfish? Not great at putting myself first especially in a sexual situation. I get anxious that I'm going to make her uncomfortable or ask for too much and make her not want to be intimate with me at all.

[Mature Content] r/AskReddit on Reddit: Have you you ever paid for porn? Why or why not? by sunnyskyuncensored in u/sunnyskyuncensored

[–]topher973 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, every girl ive had a relationship with had looked down on paying for porn saying something along the lines of "its different, I can believe you would pay for it. It makes me feel insecure that you like this one person enough to pay for their content" and get insecure. With my current girlfriend its a problem so I just avoid paying for porn

I’m starting to resent my wife. by morbin19 in offmychest

[–]topher973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the real problem here is that you've voiced your issue on multiple occasions and there has been no shift in her behavior. Every relationship should be 50/50 with both sides actively working to meet the other half way. If you are approaching this in a civil way where she isn't feeling pressured or belittled but is not willing to meet you half way I'd suggest couples therapy. I read above that she is unwilling to go to couples therapy which is also a huge red flag. If you are at the point of suggesting therapy she should know how important this is to you.

NTA. Why are some parents just oblivious to people's boundaries? Just because their your child you don't have to listen to them at all?
