Introduction: In recent years, the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has been nothing short of remarkable. From self-driving cars to facial recognition technology, we're seeing AI systems being integrated into our lives at an unprecedented rate. However, with this advancement comes a growing concern: is AI a threat to humans? While some experts warn of the dangers of AI, others argue that the benefits of these systems far outweigh the risks. In this article, we'll explore both sides of the argument and examine the potential impacts of AI on human society.
Presentation: The Pros of AI: Proponents of AI argue that these systems can provide a wealth of benefits to society. For example, AI can be used to automate mundane and repetitive tasks, freeing up people's time for more meaningful work. Additionally, AI can assist with medical diagnoses and drug development, leading to faster and more accurate treatments for patients. AI can also help us address some of the biggest challenges facing humanity, such as climate change, food scarcity, and energy conservation. By analyzing large amounts of data and identifying patterns, AI can help us make more informed decisions and find new solutions to complex problems.
The Cons of AI: On the other hand, many experts warn of the dangers of AI. One of the main concerns is that if unchecked, AI could pose a threat to human safety and security. For example, there is a risk that AI could be used for malicious purposes, such as cyber attacks, espionage, or even warfare. Additionally, as AI becomes more advanced, there's a risk that it could surpass human intelligence and start making decisions that are detrimental to our interests. There are also concerns around job losses, as AI systems are able to perform many tasks that were previously carried out by humans. This could lead to widespread unemployment and economic instability.
Conclusion: In conclusion, the question of whether AI is a threat to human society is complex and multifaceted. While there are certainly risks associated with AI, it's important to remember that these systems also have the potential to bring about great benefits. As such, it's vital that we approach the development and deployment of AI with caution and prudence, taking steps to minimize the risks while maximizing the rewards. Only through careful planning and collaboration can we ensure that AI is used in a way that serves the needs of humanity, rather than posing a threat to our future.

Hi everyone. To start off, my mother (52 F) and I (20 F) have been through a lot together with the seperation of my father. He was a narcisst and generally emotionally unstable and we were his mode of taking his anger out. Generally not a fun person to be around. A couple of months ago they divorced and with my father being the breadwinner of the house, my mother thought we would have to leave to move into a cheaper house but was able to swing the bills with the job she has that makes 3x less the amount of money my father has. Money is generally low, but she still makes it work. As the eldest daughter I feel obligated to step up, and I have since my brother was born I graduated highschool a year early, got accepted straight into a university and am almost done with finishing my pre-nursing requsites. I work full time and have a decent car that I pay a loan for.
What I'm trying to say is that I feel like I have a lot on my plate. I still live at home and have been trying to move out because since the divorce, my mom has gotten back into dating and she's met a guy. This week alone, she's been at his house for 5 days and I have been with my siblings taking care of them.
She does this to me a lot and I expressed to her over Memorial day weekend that I didn't want to keep doing this because I feel like a lot of my own time is spent with them. I feel guilty for my dad's emotional absence, and I feel obligated to step up...
It's honestly taken a toll on my mentally and I am just exhausted. I've always felt this way and now am coming to be more aware of it. I feel like my mother is so wound up in her relationship she just pushes the slack she doesn't put forth onto me and it doesn't feel fair at all.
When I told her I felt like she's asking too much of me she immediately downplayed it and just totally dismissed my feelings, then said that she needs time to unravel too. I understand where she's coming from and can sympathize because their entire marriage (it was not a good one) was my entire life... I witnessed everything unwillingly. How do I go about this? I'm at a loss.

Louelle, Scout Specialist Technical Exterminator
Date [standardized human time]: August 31, 2136
​
​
Limna was right where I left her. She was sitting hunched over the interface of our transportation vessel, and as we entered, she twitched her ear toward us.
- His sacrifice was in vain - she said in a somber tone, her slumped posture still facing the main holo. - They won’t even look at the evidence.
Within the corner of my vision, I saw Pilipin's face return to normal. Anger slowly washed away from his features, and instead confusion began to take its place. Perplexed, he signaled me with his tail to clarify. I took the hint and pointed my claw at the screens that displayed various camera feeds, and he quickly noticed that one with the feed from the meeting room camera was dark. He was also quick to add things up, and with this new realization, a spark of resentment flashed in his eye. With one hand, Pilipin slipped off the human-made colorful attire and considered its weight.
- Well then, why won’t you look at the evidence yourself! - He shouted and flung the dream catcher away, in the general direction of the female Venlil.
The moment she recognized Pilipin's voice, Limna quickly spun around in her chair to face us. Unfortunately, the offending rag caught her by surprise as it zipped past her and, with a muffled splat, landed right next to her.
- You’re alive! But we… what is this thing? - She started asking questions as her eyes flicked from Pilipin to the prismatic garment stuck to the bottom of the screen. - What happened? - Finally, Limna asked the question that actually mattered.
- First things first. Louelle, check if you can somewhat ‘burry’ our submission, preferably deep - Pilipin ordered and pointed the main terminal with his tail.
Without further ado, I went to the ship console to unceremoniously unseat the confused civilian. Limna, sensing what I was just about to do, scooted from her seat and observed as I reviewed the last snapshot of the message resync tool.
- And you! – Pilipin caught Limna's attention once more. - You will answer a very important question.
I got myself busy checking system registers but still overheard everything they were discussing.
- What translation method have you implemented for the conversation with the savage? - he asked with the utmost self-control.
- The t-text t-translation for both sides was managed by the built-in Dict-o-box. It-t was managed by your own holopad with an updated human language library - she responded after a moment of thought. - I found out the app defaults to that option when it detects latency spikes, or in our case, when I proxied your conversation, so…
- Defaults from what – Pilipin caught a detail, and I had to stop my work to listen to Limna's answer.
- You have to understand that the conversation through the app is not E2EE – she started going more into technical details while Pilipin went back to retrieve his holopad from the cabinet. - It goes through a third party monitor, in our case, me, and an online context broker for some fancy smart functionality.
- Stuff me and hand me over to the Grays – I groaned and covered my face in my claws, shocked by the information she omitted about such a crucial component in her ‘hack’.
- Excuse me? - she asked at a loss from my reaction.
- Dealing with languages without a translation model Dict-o-box communicates with its servers to provide information to update or create that model, in response, it receives a frame of reference data – I stated the obvious. - Pilipin, do you remember the screw ups with the first Yotul recruits, sir? - I asked Pilipin as he came back with his holopad in hand. He groaned and winced as probably memories of the fuck-ups those backwater primitives caused flooded his mind.
- Well, it looks like now I’m on the opposite end of the shit sitck – he commented about his situation and motioned with his tail for Limna to come with him.
- Alright. Louelle, you do you, and Limna, you’re coming with me. As I understand it, this context translation function works fine on verbal translation implants, right? - Pilipin asked her, and I didn’t hear a yes, but right after the question, he continued. - Great, we’ll have a quick voice-to-text experiment in the back, and then, considering the output, I’ll decide what to do next - the sound of closing sleeping cabin doors was what I heard next.
Right, let’s focus back on the report.
Logs cleared. Registers overridden. I left no trace of sending anything from this shuttle. Now to login with my credentials, and maybe I’ll even be able to revoke the predator attack report completely before it gets processed further down the pipeline.
Where in deep hell is it? Why is there no ID with the right time signature? It was automatically rejected? Why?
I reread the automatic reply in my mind, as this was the first time I saw this kind of flag attached to a report.
Now this is just treason.
The line was supposed to take into consideration all signs and reports of predatory behavior, but judging from the reply attached to it, that policy has recently changed.
"Due to the increasing amount of false positive sightings and reports of human ‘true nature’ all new submissions regarding human predatory behaviors have been temporarily suspended. We suggest rereading the ministerial pamphlet ‘Social predators and you’ on human conduct and practices or trying to consult the issue on your holopad with a dedicated human volunteer to resolve the problem."
Kicking back in the chair, I loosen up and let my mind wander.
That’s one problem out of mind, but damn. You can’t even file a formal complaint against them. This is it! The conquerors must be bribing the corrupt and tricking the single-minded, if not to eat them, then surely to slowly subjugate and enslave the Venlil population.
Lost in my musings, I faintly noticed the stifled laughs and shouting coming from the cabin until the door flung open to the side.
- NO! I don’t believe it! I don’t want to! - Pilipin was shouting as he exited the small cabin, gripping his holopad tightly in his hand, while Limna giggled, her laughter emanating from the inside.
Oooh, he’s really pissed.
The officer's short cut fur was standing up on its ends; you could see the gray, undyed undercoat poking from underneath. His tail was low and lashing, restlessly bouncing from end to end of the metal doorframe. Face orange with embarrassment and end rage, eyes frantically looking for something to set on down finally stopped on me.
- Just... tell... me – he stated, huffing with rage. - You somehow managed to 'unexist' the report completely.
- Ye-s. It was… it has been dealt with – I replayed, not bothering to explain and enrage him further.
- Great. That’s a good thing. One good thing – he repeated, slowly cooling his emotions. - The camera room footage? - Pilipin asked while walking to my station.
Flicking the security app back to life made the feed appear on the second screen beside me… the one that got slightly obstructed by the rainbow garment stuck to its surface.
NOPE! I’m not touching that. Not now, not ever.
In the room, there was a lone Sivkit in a janitor uniform, sitting in an office chair similar to the one I was in. Judging from his posture, it was evident he wasn’t cut for the job, as he was drifting into sleep from time to time, bobbing his head up and down as the urge to take a nap got the better of him.
- Competent as the pair we met before – I murmured, resisting the urge to check the clinic feed. - It seems the footage is stored locally and deletes itself after a few rotations.
Fiddling and scrolling past the system logs back by date and not finding anything older than two standard cycles confirmed my suspicions that the station had limited storage space for recordings.
- I think it’s best we leave it alone and let it remove itself. Our meddling would draw further unwanted attention – I continued my thoughts to Pilipin as he watched the substitute operator's ineptitude to do his job proficiently with visible relief.
- Alright. Let’s just hope this won’t come back and bite us in the rear - he concluded. - That leaves us with only one problem remaining – he added, leaning on the console and crossing his arms over his chest. - The one waiting for us outside.
- Oh, come on! - Limna suddenly materialized behind me, shouting her opinion. - You’re going to dump him after you get the best lick of your life only because he doesn’t fit your narrative?
Glancing at my colleague, I was certain to find him infuriated again by that statement, but instead he got lost in his reverie, brooding at her words and glancing in the direction of the bulkhead doors.
You can’t be serious?!
- Well, I do have to confess that, for me, he did pass the empathy test… orally. – Pilipin then took a deep breath, probably ready to surrender further to his temptations, but instead his features suddenly changed.
It was clear as daylight that the Venlil officer had figured something out, and soon he shared his idea with newfound confidence.
- Alright, Joe said he wants some good time? I’ll show him some good time – said the trapper exterminator as a mischievous smile crept on his face. - I’ll give him the best time of his life. In return, we’ll have the opportunity to see his true colors and maybe gain access to some of the restricted data on humans.
That was a solid argument to keep the predator close despite the dangers it would carry. When working with humans at the space port, the translator's notifications were often labeled not safe for life or restricted. Some of the information that crept up during their conversations that the translator software picked up was even fully censored, or access to it was strictly denied.
- Pilipin, after all of this, do you seriously still think they are some kind of evil conquerors? - Limna asked, her shoulders slumped and her tail slightly cocked in disbelief.
- In one way or another...– he replied, and started to tap something on his holo.
A moment passed in silence as we were waiting for him to further expand on his statement. Instead, we were startled by the sound of metal scraping against metal, which was immediately followed by a loud thumping on the shuttle doors.
- The handle won’t budge! – A muffled, low growl emanated from the outside.
- Leave the handle alone! It’s for emergency use only! - shouted Pilipin, who rushed to assist by opening the door from the inside.
The officer pushed the big red button next to the entrance and almost immediately jumped away from a brown mass that assaulted him the moment they opened. I was too surprised to move, but Limna scampered back to the cabin, tripping on the raised doorstep and tumbling inside. The other thing that soon tumbled through, although a different pair, was Joe. Having the unfortunate benefit of watching all of this unfold from the comfort of a seated position, I observed the meat eater flop on top of his enormous backpack face-first.
- I suggest we tie him up for the trip – I stated my concerns as the clumsy excuse of a predator regained his composure and started lifting himself off the floor. – For safety reasons – I quickly added as Joe's gaze settled on me with killing intent.
- Is rope bondage just a big friendship bracelet for your kind, or is this just you? – Joe humored my concerns and started checking his traveling duffle, probably for any rips and tears.
- Ha hah ha! Go ahead, officer, cuff him. You’ll just get him more horny – Limna added her own criticism, peaking her ears from the cabin.
- Enough! All of you! - Pilipin ended our dispute before it would even begin and motioned with his tail for his acquaintance to come out. - Joe, this is Limna. Limna, that’s Joe.
Although I dislike being the butt of someone's jokes, the female Venlil came out relaxed from this short exchange of humor. Still, she approached with her ears perked up and pointed to the dangerous predator in front of her.
- Hi. Joseph Savage, or Joe for short – he spoke and hunched over, stretching his hand forward.
- H-h-hello. Limna... – she introduced herself in return, unsure what to do with the human appendage practically shoved in her face.
- That’s a human greeting – I threw my experience in, probably saving her from any faux pas before she would come to any stupid conclusions... like maybe licking it. - You’re supposed to shake it.
She then proceeded to grip it with both of her hands and shake it in all directions.
Close enough.
- Great, now Limna here works in the PID. She will register you with the Magestratta. For the time being, your address of permanent residence will be assigned to my flat. She will handle the required paperwork on our way back – Pilipin reviled his plan. - Just follow Limna to the cabin and be a good predator. Don’t try anything stupid, you hear? - he added, pointing his finger to the predator's face.
- Sure thing, I remember orientations. Rule 8 includes ‘no petting without consent’ – Joe apologetically replied while Limna blushed orange on her face. - Although I thought it applied to different kinds of petting.
- The… WHAT? - Limna voiced her concerns, embarrassed by the lewd definitions the translation implant bombarded her vision with.
- That’s rule 73 for you – the predator quipped, quickly blinking with one eye at the female Venlil.
The human straightened himself, looked down upon the Venlil pair in front of him, and shook his head from side to side, letting out a small chuckle.
- Before I met my chew toy here in person, I thought you just didn’t like scritches. Now I think the guidelines have more to do with you keeping your dignity and not leaving an embarrassing snail trail on every pet person's lap you meet than…
- OUT! Git! - the officer yelled, his face orange with rage and embarrassment, not wanting to hear more about the depravity of his kind. - Go and fill out the bumfodder! - He shouted, probably not wanting to face more of the predator's lewd claims.
- Alright, alright! No need to go into super cheeto mode for this – Joe quickly came back on his comedy act – Ok, let's go fill them out.
We eyed the human being led to the cabin by Limna and felt relief as we soon heard the bureaucrat's first-line support interview questions.
Seething from the insult toward their kind, Pilipin walked back to the ship doors and closed them, pushing the button with a little more force than was normally required.
- Let’s go home, Louelle – he said with a sigh. - I need a cold shower.
I’m all for that, sir...

Introduction: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been a hot topic in recent years. It is the development of computer systems that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision making, and language translation. AI is already changing the way we live, work, and interact with one another. In this article, we will explore how AI is changing our society and what the future may hold.
AI and the Workplace: One of the most significant impacts of AI is on the workforce. AI technologies are being developed to automate routine and repetitive tasks, and this has the potential to significantly reduce the need for human workers in certain industries. For example, in manufacturing, robots are increasingly used for assembly-line work, reducing the need for human workers. In customer service, chatbots are being developed to handle simple queries, freeing up customer service representatives to focus on more complex issues. While some jobs may be lost as a result of these developments, others will be created in areas such as monitoring and maintaining AI systems.
AI and Healthcare: AI is also changing the landscape of healthcare. It is being used to analyze vast amounts of medical data, enabling doctors and researchers to identify patterns that would be difficult, if not impossible, to identify manually. AI algorithms can help doctors diagnose diseases more accurately, predict the likelihood of a patient developing a particular condition, and even suggest personalized treatment plans. AI is also being used to develop new drugs, with remarkable success rates. However, there are concerns around the ethical implications of using AI in healthcare, particularly in the areas of privacy and data security.
AI and Society: AI has the potential to change the fabric of society itself. With the development of autonomous vehicles, for example, our cities could become safer, more efficient, and less polluted if human drivers were replaced by self-driving cars. AI-powered virtual assistants and home automation systems are also transforming the way we interact with our homes and workplaces. However, there are also concerns around the social implications of AI, such as the potential for bias in decision-making algorithms and the risk of these systems being used to perpetuate existing inequalities.
Conclusion: Artificial intelligence is a technology that is already impacting our society in significant ways. While there are certainly challenges and concerns around its use, the potential benefits are enormous, from improved healthcare to more efficient and sustainable cities. As AI technologies continue to develop, it will be important for us to consider the ethical implications and work to ensure that these technologies are used in ways that benefit society as a whole.

Introduction: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the workplace as we know it. From automating menial tasks to predicting market trends, AI is making businesses operate more efficiently. There is no doubt that in the near future, AI will become more advanced and will continue to impact the workplace in significant ways. In this article, we will explore how AI is changing the workplace and the benefits and challenges that come with it.
Automation of Menial Tasks: One of the most apparent ways AI is changing the workplace is through the automation of menial tasks. Jobs that are repetitive and require little decision-making are being taken over by AI. This form of automation frees up employees to focus on more complex tasks, increasing productivity, and efficiency. For instance, data entry, scheduling, and invoicing are some of the tasks that can now be automated using AI.
Moreover, AI-powered virtual assistants are being used in customer service, where they can handle common inquiries and complaints, leaving employees to handle more complex cases. This type of automation not only increases productivity and efficiency, but also reduces the likelihood of human error, which can be costly in some industries.
Improved Decision Making: AI is also changing the workplace by improving decision-making processes. By analyzing vast amounts of data, AI can predict trends and provide valuable insights into market behavior. This information can be used to optimize business strategies, reduce risk, and increase profits. For instance, financial institutions are using AI algorithms to analyze trading patterns and predict market trends. This information allows traders to make better-informed decisions, leading to increased profits and minimizing risks.
Moreover, AI-powered tools like chatbots and voice assistants are being used to collect customer data, preferences, and feedback, which can be used to improve products and services. AI-based predictive analytics can also identify and address customer complaints in real-time, improving customer satisfaction rates and increasing brand loyalty.
Conclusion: Artificial Intelligence is transforming the workplace, and businesses that embrace this technology are reaping enormous benefits. From automating menial tasks to improving decision-making processes, AI is making businesses more productive, efficient, and profitable. However, the integration of AI into the workplace comes with challenges such as ensuring employee training and the ethical use of AI. Nonetheless, with its vast potential, AI is set to revolutionize the workplace in exciting ways.

It's up to us to harness the power of AI in a manner that maximizes its potential while minimizing any adverse effects. With careful management, AI will undoubtedly shape our future for the better.

Our apartment's office is staffed by two people, a manager and an assistant. We have lived here for 9 years, and found that staff changed a couple years ago when the new manager answered. I was a bit traumatized by my first experience with them, and didn't call again for several months until my dishwasher broke.
I spoke with the new assistant, who told me they would put in a ticket. When I asked how long it might be, she said "I don't know, but it's not an emergency."
I called every few weeks, and it was always the same. There was never any apology, and she would rush me off the phone, interrupting me to make the point that there was nothing else to say. It was very impersonal. I get that she's not personally responsible for the solution, but you can still have a personal touch. The dishwasher took four months.
Then my air conditioner broke. I work from home, and was becoming hot and nauseous in the afternoon. The assistant said, "I don't know how long it will be, but it's not an emergency." I ended up fixing it myself.
Last month, I notice I hadn't been charged rent a couple days after. I go to the website and try to make a payment, and it fails. I try a couple more cards before I realize it's their payment processor. I wrote them an email letting them know I would deliver payment to them immediately, and to not charge me a late fee since it was an issue on their end. They replied that they would not, and that they had fixed the issue.
A week later, there's a note in my door. It's a statement that I owe the fee. I called the office and got the assistant.
"Okay, did you pay your rent late?"
"I really don't understand why after a BACK AND FORTH EMAIL EXCHANGE with your office about this I would receive a notice, you should already know what's going on."
"Sir, stop yelling. We'll take care of it."
"I was told that in the first place! I can't count on you all to take care of anything around here!"
"Sir stop yelling or I'm going to hang up."
"I'm not yelling BUT BY ALL MEANS FEEL FREE."
I hung up. You know, I did feel bad. I figured that she must not have been the one that read the email. I wrote an apology email shortly after, explaining why I was upset, and the issues I'd been having.
The next day, I had a notice in my door that I had 30 days to move out. It seemed like a very heavy handed response. I didn't yell. I mean, I did escalate my tone. I did use emphasis. I didn't cuss, I didn't personally attack her. I was frustrated. Was I wrong to show my frustration?
A month later, I was charged those late fees. I came into the office and the manager walked out. I told her I don't understand why I have to have this much trouble over it, all the way to getting thrown out. She says it's because of how I talked to them. I tell her they've been rude ever since they started working there. She says they haven't been, they're just doing their jobs.
Are they just doing their jobs? AITA?

Introduction: Artificial intelligence (AI) is the most significant technological advancement of the 21st century. With the ability to learn and adapt, AI has enormous implications for various aspects of our lives, from healthcare and education to transportation and entertainment. AI has the potential to revolutionize the way we live, work, and interact with one another, making it one of the most exciting and anticipated technological developments of our time.
Presentation: 1. The Future of Work: AI has the ability to automate many of the jobs that are currently done by humans, leading to a significant shift in the workforce. This shift will not only change the nature of work but also increase productivity and efficiency. With AI taking over routine tasks and freeing up time for more creative work, individuals will have the opportunity to focus on tasks that require unique human skills, such as empathy, creativity, and critical thinking. Thus, AI will augment human capabilities, creating new opportunities and roles for individuals to explore.

It's been a minute since I posted here but I figured I would share. Since the pandemic began I made the decision to move from Seattle to Charlotte, which ultimately was a very bad move for me. I am a nurse and even with my wages it just wasn't enough to cover the rising costs of living. I often ended up relying heavily on credit cards. I didn't save the entire time I was down there. My savings also went from around 7k to 1250.
I got into a car accident at the end of October of 2022 and it made a bad situation much worse. Cat also needed a lot of care that i simply wasn't able to afford. With having to rent out a car for work I barely had anything left after bills. I also ended up developing a gluten sensitivity on top of an existing lactose and pork intolerance, which made even cooking expensive. I did post here and got some good responses, but also ended up blocking people really lacking in empathy.
I did get a settlement because my car was totaled. The accident was partly caused by my being burnt out from work. I ended up going back to Seattle because staying in Charlotte wasnt worth it. The supervisors at my old job were really toxic and my paychecks were always wrong. Unfortunately that particular job was the best paying one for my type of work.
Moving back to Seattle has been an extremely good decision. I am now making something under 100k (it seems that nursing is even more short staffed here than back east. Overtime is always available at the job but so far don't need it) have lots of access to gluten and dairy free foods which often end up being on sale and have lots of places to eat out at. I can now afford to do bouldering again. I am also able to feed my cat better and have been able to afford his care. He does have a surgery coming up Monday which I am hoping will go well. I was able to find a place to split payments to make it easier on me.
I have lots of disposable income after bills, even with rent now being $1858 as opposed to $1130 in Charlotte. I had to get another car for my job, but it's the only time I use it. I take public transit or walk for everything else. I think living in NYC on around 50k per year really helped me to budget for living in a big city.
I am slowly catching up from about 2 years of financial damage. I have found a great church, have made lots of connections, I am thankful that even after bills and food, I am able to take up hobbies and start paying the bills back slowly. The only downside is that I won't be taking a destination vacation anytime soon until I pay off more of the short term bills. I am also able to afford to get tests run to make sure my digestive issues don't have an underlying cause and to check on my overall health. Eventually I also plan on getting my teeth cleaned.
I didn't realize how unhappy and unhealthy I had been the last two years. I ended up having to neglect a lot of things because I couldn't afford it. Living in a LCOL living area doesn't always work, especially if you are single and lower middle class. Sometimes a move might just be what one needs.

I have had depressive episodes for about 18 years now (since I was a teen). On and off meds depending on needs and severity. I had been on maintenance venlafaxine(Effexor) since 2020 and due to worsening symptoms and mood over the past 8-9 months I was gradually increased from 150mg to 300mg. About 3 weeks ago my mood had become so low that my psychiatrist decided to pull me off venlafaxine and switch to trintellix. She reduced me from 300-150-75 over 6 days and then straight into trintellix 5mg for a week before upping to 10mg. The withdrawal has been horrific. Mh nurse advocated to the doc on my behalf so she increased me to 10mg after 4 days instead of 7. So now I’ve been on it 10 days. I’m still having withdrawals of venlafaxine and my mood is the worst it’s ever, ever been. No exaggeration. I’m not going to hurt myself, I’ve never felt that way, but I genuinely have never felt this distressed, upset, crying, hopeless. Due to see psychiatrist again on Monday and I worry she’ll send me to hospital. The nurse told me the doc doesn’t believe in withdrawal symptoms…clearly has never experienced it. I know everyone is different but please please tell me this really hard part right now will be worth it? I’m so afraid I’m going to screw up my job, my postgrad, my family…

I’m 31 years old. I really wish my dad was still around. I really need his guidance.
two years ago I was hired as an assistant construction manager. 6 months ago, right before I was promoted to a NCM, I was moved to purchasing due to lack of job sites and lay offs. 8 people were fired and changes were made. I was great-full and moved to purchasing. At this time, I am an assistant purchasing manager. I have done very well in my position and my boss is awesome. In the next few months I will be promoted to a purchasing manager. At that time, I will get a 10k raise and a 10% bonus yearly.
Last week I was offered a new position as a land development associate. Our division president put my name out there for the opportunity. The pay is similar, maybe 4K more than I make now, and a 10% IPA. Downside, I would have to drive a lot more, I would be starting over in a new position, and it seems like it could be a stressful job. Right now, I have to be in the office 4 days a week. I can get there whenever and I leave around 3:30. It’s an hour drive to and from. The work is fairly easy. It’s indoors and computer work. This is my first office job. If I go to land, all of our sites are 1-2 hours from my house. I would get a gas credit but if it’s similar to the credit I had when I was an ANCM, it’s not that much. The director of land said he will never ask where I am as long as things are getting done but I’m not really sure what that means for being on site. Obviously I would need to be trained. I’m guessing I would be driving a lot to start. I have no idea what the hours would be but I’m guessing similar to my old position. 6:30-4:30 time frame.
I’m struggling with making the decision. as right now I know my path. I’ll get a raise soon, work is easy and kinda fun. I’m connected to a lot of different departments. If I take land, yeah I’m adding something to my resume, but the work seems to add more to my life. I’m pretty happy where I am. Since the president put my name out there I feel like I shouldn’t say no. He has become my mentor in a way. He said since I have field experience and purchasing, with my work ethic I would excel in land. Note, I do not have a college degree. I went to college but never finished. He also asked if I would be interested in going back to school to finish. He said if I did that, nothing could stop my from taking his job in the future. If I was offered this land position 6 months ago before purchasing, I would have jumped on it but now I’m pretty comfortable.
I know this is all over the place, but can anyone give me some guidance? What’s land like? What should I do? I’ve never had a massive corporate job so I don’t know what the right answer is.

I’ve been a dental assistant for about six months. I genuinely like my job and the people I work with, but the amount of drama that goes on is insane.
I know every dental office is going to have some type of toxicity, but half of our staff walked out this last month because of it. We have to replace assistants every other month and I’m just done with this environment. I’d also like to go to a different specialty, and other offices in my area pay much more.
That being said, is six- seven months too soon to quit? I’ve always been told to wait a year, but we have assistants who quit after two weeks and are still able to find another job. What did you guys do in this situation? Thank you! :)
Bonus points if you’re an ortho assistant, how do you like it?

I have no reason to be such an awkward person, I have a good family and many friends, or I did.
After graduation I moved away and lived alone for 8 months. I was a party kid in highschool, since 15 Ive been regularly smoking pot and drinking. When I first lived alone I stopped smoking and started drinking more. Nowadays, and since maybe February, I drink all day.
If im unemployed I wake up, drink, and watch Youtube or listen to music all day. I rarely blackout, Im just content to get less and less present all day. If I have a job I drink the night or morning before and right after, I act pathetic and quiet around almost anyone in a public setting. I shake and twitch constantly, I have the darkest eyebags you have ever seen.
I had a lot of insomnia when I lived alone, thats approved as has my diet since coming back to my hometown. My people skills have improved a bit as well and people think im funny at my new job but I’m calling in more and more. My manager is my high school friend and he has been very supportive, I’ve lied and said I have some sort of blood problem and hes bought it but I was supposed to work today and im not going to because im drinking.
A few nights ago I heard voices all around me criticizing me and I could hear my friends cheering for me to be arrested and wanting to beat me up and calling me a pussy and all sorts of shit and I hid in my bed, drunk and terrified and delusional. I called my friend twice confused and slurring and asking where he was because I could hear him outside. (This is the friend whos also my boss.)
He was in bed both times and I have never heard a human sound as concerned about me as he sounded responding to my call. He asked if I was ok and seemed genuinely disturbed.
I am doubting my reality, I am scared that whatever front I have to convince people im not a massive drunk is cracking.
I used to like rum, now I exclusively drink high ABV vodka and I go to the liquor store almost everyday. I get sick if I manage to not drink for a day. I just nurse on vodka all fucking day.
Im scared I have wetbrain, Im scared that im going to hear voices again, im scared that my friends will give up on me because I just get more cold, awkward, and rigid every single day.
So thats off my chest i guess lol idk what im asking for.

One way to reduce #poverty is to increase access to #education. Education helps equip people with the skills they need to get better jobs and increase their earning potential. Governments can also provide targeted social assistance programs to help those in need. These programs can provide food, housing, healthcare, and other resources to those who are struggling. Additionally, governments can provide incentives for businesses to create more jobs in areas with high poverty levels. All of these measures can help reduce poverty and improve the quality of life for those affected.

Introduction: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been one of the most discussed topics in recent years. With the rapid advancement of technology, AI has become an integral part of our daily lives. From voice assistants to self-driving cars, AI has revolutionized the way we live, work, and communicate. But the question remains, do we really have artificial intelligence as we perceive it? In this article, we will explore the concept of AI, its current state, and the challenges that lie ahead.
Presentation: The concept of AI has been around for decades. It refers to the development of intelligent machines that can mimic human intelligence, such as learning, reasoning, and problem-solving. AI is broadly categorized into two types: Narrow or weak AI and General or strong AI. Narrow AI is designed for specific tasks and is already being used in various industries, such as healthcare, finance, and transportation. Examples of narrow AI include voice assistants, recommendation systems, and image recognition software. In contrast, General AI aims to build machines that are as intelligent as humans and can perform any intellectual task that a human can do. However, the development of General AI is still a long way off, and there are several challenges that need to be addressed before it can become a reality.
One of the significant challenges of AI development is achieving human-like reasoning and problem-solving abilities. While machines can process large amounts of data and perform tasks at lightning speed, they still lack the creativity, intuition, and adaptability of human beings. Another challenge is the ethical concerns surrounding the use of AI. As AI becomes more prevalent in our daily lives, there are concerns about bias, privacy, and potential job displacement. Moreover, there are also concerns about the safety and security of AI systems, particularly in critical industries like healthcare and finance.
Conclusion: In conclusion, AI has come a long way since its inception, and its applications have transformed industries and our daily lives. However, the development of true Artificial Intelligence is still a work in progress, and there are several challenges that we need to address before it can become a reality. As we move forward with AI, it's essential to continue to prioritize our ethical responsibilities and ensure that the technology is developed and deployed in a way that benefits society as a whole.

Introduction: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a field of computer science that involves creating intelligent machines capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as visual perception, voice recognition, decision making, and natural language processing. AI is regarded as the foundation for the development of the future, with countless applications spanning various industries, including healthcare, education, finance, and transportation. However, before we delve into AI's current standing, it is essential to understand what AI is and how it works.
Presentation: AI has been around for decades, with researchers and scientists exploring the field's various aspects. The earliest forms of AI are known as "expert systems," which relied on rule-based programming to simulate a human expert's decision-making process. These systems were limited, and their performance was constrained by the strict rules they followed. However, recent advancements in computer processing power and the availability of large datasets have greatly expanded AI's capabilities.
In today's age, AI is present in many aspects of our daily lives, from voice assistants like Siri and Alexa to intelligent search engines like Google and Bing. Machine learning is the most significant breakthrough in AI, allowing machines to learn from data provided to them and improve their performance over time. Deep learning, a subfield of machine learning, goes a step further, allowing machines to learn from massive amounts of data, making them capable of complex tasks like image recognition, natural language processing, and speech recognition.
Conclusion: In conclusion, AI has come a long way since its inception, and its future is bound to be even more exciting. While AI-powered machines are yet to achieve human-like intelligence, they have established themselves as powerful tools that can augment human capabilities, unlocking new possibilities across various fields. The rise of AI also raises several ethical concerns, such as job displacement and the possibility of machines being used to harm humans. Therefore, we must approach AI's development with caution and develop appropriate regulations to ensure its responsible and ethical use.

Challenges of AI: Despite the several advancements in the field of AI, there are still challenges that need to be overcome. One significant concern is the fear of job displacement due to automation. As AI continues to integrate into various sectors, it is crucial to ensure that the human workforce is not entirely replaced. Additionally, AI bias is another challenge that needs to be addressed. AI bias occurs when a machine learning algorithm produces unfair or biased results due to the data it was trained on. This could have serious consequences in sectors such as healthcare and finance.
Conclusion: Overall, AI has proved to be successful in various sectors, from healthcare to customer service and education. It has allowed for quicker and more accurate data analysis, resulting in significant advancements in diagnosis and treatment plans. However, this technology still faces challenges such as job displacement and AI bias. As we continue to integrate AI into our lives, it is crucial to address these challenges proactively to ensure that the benefits of AI are maximized while minimizing the negative impact.

Up until this point I have continually been progressing in my field from lab assistant to quality manager. I was recently terminated due to a miscommunication that lead to loss of inventory. My previous company offered to hire me back immediately as a data reviewer making the same amount I was making as a manager, but this is a step down from where I was. I’m not sure how to proceed. I’d like to continue as a quality manager as I really enjoyed what I was doing and where I was headed. I’ve only been applying for QA jobs for three days and I don’t want to end my search prematurely. This data review job also does not allow for work from home which is a huge downside and reason I left originally. My financial situation is okay, I could float a few months before getting desperate. Should I take the step down? Can I be transparent with them that I won’t see myself there long term? Should I try to negotiate work from home? I don’t want to burn this bridge as well as it’s nice to have a backup.
I appreciate any help. I’ve not been thinking clearly as this has severely impacted my mental health.
