2023.03.31 23:25 Richauntie21 This sub gets all the credit for my AT/AT/AT (LONG EXPLANATION)
TLDR: SH Essentials $49, David's 200 Agile, Ricardo 6th edition video, Process Game, Urock Notes $15, AR $20, check this sub especially the week of your exam
- Approach: Came to this sub to figure out my plan
-35 hours: Signed up for $20 AR course in November (thanks for telling me how to get it that cheap), slowly finished by mid Feb (holidays etc slowed me down) In hindsight I wish I would have listened to the whole thing on 2X speed in the background and knocked it out in a week. I went back to re review the important things anyway (don't spend too much time here, your real retention will come later anyway) ESPECIALLY the first 15-20 hours. Don't get caught up on all the ITTO's PLEASE, TRUST ME.
- Applying: Apply for the exam the same day you get your credits. (I didnt get the approval email for a week, but when I loggged in to PMI, it was processed within 3 days, so check back frequently. I used AR video on applying and it only took me an hour
- Scheduling: Be realistic but schedule your exam. My test center is in a major city and really busy and I was admant on taking it before Q1 was over. I checked back daily until a March 30th spot opened up. Reading the sub gave me confidence that I could pass with 6 weeks of prep. Anything additional would've enabled me to slack or to over prepare. Didn't want to do either of those things since I am young and like to go out on the weekends LOL (in hindsight I should have taken a mock exam to confirm 6 weeks was realistic but I know im a decent student and a good test taker. People with challenges might want to take a mock first to gauge your readiness. For 90% of people I think 6 weeks is plenty if you have the capacity to study)
- Study Hall: $49. Bought the basic because I knew I wouldn't have time to take more than 2 mocks. I actually ended up having a very socially demanding March and didn't even do half of the mini exams.
-- I know people hate that it is hard and demoralizing, but I think you are really just practicing to understand the how questions are written and asked. you are preparing for the test STYLE. don't beat yourself up about scores. I will say that the answer explanations SUCK and if you are stuck between two answers, SH doesn't give you a lot of definite detail on why one answer is better than the answer. the test is structured very similiary (2 good answers), so this is really really key in preparations.
-- I couldn't do all the mini exams but I made sure to focus on agile and hybrid since I felt I struggled with that. I think I did about half of them. I went from scoring in the 30s to the 60s not from knowing more but understanding rationale better. That made me feel better (not the scores, but the way I better knew to attack the questions and piece together my answer)
-- Mock exams: hard but necessary. Take two 8 minute breaks when you are 33% and 66% through with the test. you need some time during the real test to re check in etc, this was really good practice. The SH mocks don't tell you number of questions left but the real test does. You have to simulate the breaks yourself.
---Scores: I scored 62% and 68%. After removing experts it was 71% and 84% (but my second test had 70 expert questions LOL). I came here worried but you guys reminded me this was normal and I was ready so I told my friends to not let me reschedule LOL.
---I WISH I would have used u/urock 's note to help me answer the practice questions because that would have proved me more context than the SH answers. This was basically my text book, wish I would have done more open note question answering. I think I would have retained better this way. I did practice questions on the app on my phone when I found myself killing time in traffic, waiting on friends etc. I saw very similar questions on the real test so don't take these for granted. Especially the Agile ones.
- David's 200 Agile: I loved David's 200 Agile questions but I kept getting distracted and only got half way through it, HUGE MISTAKE. Priortiize this over knowing the knowledge areas. I REPEAT!!!! THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN KNOWING THE KNOWLEDGE AREAS!!! He talks quickly so its not as easy to do in the background, I would cast it to my TV and sit on the sofa and watch. Wish I found more time to do this.
- Ricardo's 6th edition video: I watched Ricardos video and followed along on his print out, BUT I didn't need to keep re-watching (unless you have time) just watch it once, and play the game until you have a good udnerstanding. Just understand don't memorize. His accent also makes it a little difficult (no offense) so I couldn't JUST listen, but the visuals are soooo helpful. That's my dawg
- Mindset: AR's Mindsent is good, but I feel like the community over emphasizes it a bit . It's good to know but it really can't be applied in every scenario. I went back and watched his videos the week of the exam as well.
YOU: When I was demotivated or hungover, I kept coming here to re visit all your stories and the daily accomplishments just to keep me going. Sometimes I spent more time here than studying LOL. but it worked, both my coworkers failed their first time and studied more than me (And spent 10x more money)
After the AR course, I probably spent 30 -40 hours "studying". My study approach was definitley quality > quantity.
- The night before the test I pulled out my tablet and just spent an hour scrolling through Urock's notes and just skimmed it high level. Spoiler: I read two things that night that appeared on my test!! So grateful for you guys
- It was good to read posts from people who took the exam a day or two before me
- Before going to bed I was so badly wishing I would have taken the exam date on the next week instead so I couldve finished the Agile video and the mini exams LOL. (Don't be like me and doubt your mock scores). Don't let Perfect get in the way of Good. Rescheduling would have been a silly and expensive mistake.
TLDR: SH Essentials $49, David's 200 Agile, Ricardo 6th edition video, Process Game, Urock Notes $15, AR $20, check this sub especially the week of your exam
- The test has a highlighter and strike through option. Sometimes I would get hung up on the text of the question. DONT. Figure out what it is asking, and then go back and read the question. Highlight agile vs hybrid. Product Owner vs. PM. Don't get hung up in the words like I kept doing. Sometimes the longest/most confusingly worded questions had the most obvious answers, so don't get hung up
- People say certain sections are easier than others, I kept going back on forth on this but I think some are just more familiar to us (Study Hall esque, vs. not) There were very few long question which was great. I can only think of 1 or 2 "expert" level questions. I remember thinking I passed during the first section, but then thinking I failed by the end LOL
- I flagged the ones I didn't feel like dealing with but did not waste time reviewing anything else. Honestly you can usually narrow the answers to two so you're 50/50 either way.
- I took both breaks, the 8 minute practice was good. Forced myself to go to the bathroom and eat some berries and drink something every time. Made me feel human again and not just a PMP robot lol. You really do go a little stir crazy. By the end I was exhausted and honestly kinda giving up. Definitley a mental battle as well. Stay the course. I would've done better in the afternoon but that option wasn't available to me.
- Suprisingly, I was kind of chasing the clock. I only had 10 mins to spare and found myself pretty stressed/distracted by that. Having 3 independent sections help because it limites what you can go back to. focusing on 60 questions at a time does help with management but I wish I focused more on my timing during my prep. It was hard to stay focused, I didn't think it would be that challenging since I assumed the addrenaline from the test would kick in, but I definitley lost steam towards the end.
- All in all I think I felt good about 60-65% of my answers. The other 40% was educated guesses. Given I didn't study a lot compared to most people here, I thought that was pretty remarkable. Since I usually get 60s on Study Hall, I would speculate I got about 70- 80% correct on the real exam.
- The "congratulations" at the end isn't big and bold like you would expect so I had a micro second of thinking I failed LOL.
- The woman handed me a paper upside down but once I saw AT/AT/AT I flipped it upside so everyone could see why I had a smile on my face LOL. Feel bad for the people there taking much more demoralizing exams like LSAT, MCAT etc LOL
Once that I home (early) I headed to the grocery store, picked up something to eat, cake, and beers. Ended my afternoon with 1 or 3 beers, met up with some friends for some plans (even tho I wanted to sleep) then relaxed for the next 24 hours lol. Can't wait to do absolutely nothing this weekend LOL.

Before the test:
- Background: I am a good test taker, native English speaker, have strong reasoning skills, about 5 years of PM traditional/hybrid experience. 3 College Degrees and the last one being in 2021 means I am not that far removed from traditional education.- Approach: Came to this sub to figure out my plan
-35 hours: Signed up for $20 AR course in November (thanks for telling me how to get it that cheap), slowly finished by mid Feb (holidays etc slowed me down) In hindsight I wish I would have listened to the whole thing on 2X speed in the background and knocked it out in a week.

After the AR course, I probably spent 30 -40 hours "studying". My study approach was definitley quality > quantity.
Week of Test:
- The week of the exam I rewatched AR's videos to understand any theory's , terms, etc I didn't have a great comfort with. Also watched the agile videos and Mindset on 2x speed again while I folded clothes. Was a good reminder of those small details that may or may not appear on the test. Watch all the Drag and Drop just because they're short and helpful. Don't memorize, FAMILIARIZE.- The night before the test I pulled out my tablet and just spent an hour scrolling through Urock's notes and just skimmed it high level. Spoiler: I read two things that night that appeared on my test!! So grateful for you guys
- It was good to read posts from people who took the exam a day or two before me

During the Exam:
- Wore blue (literally owned one thing, I am glad it fit), Woke up super early so I would be fully awake by test time. Somehow still drank 30z of cold brew (throughtout the test, wouldn't do that to my bladder before). Pearson wanted to me to take my jewlery off but I couldn't. leave at home if possible. All I took were my phone, ID, keys, and lots of snacks and drinks LOL. Ate breakfast before as well. Used the restroom before the exam. Fyi wearing glasses slows down your check in process because they have to examine them after every break LOL, maybe should've wore my contacts?- The test has a highlighter and strike through option. Sometimes I would get hung up on the text of the question. DONT. Figure out what it is asking, and then go back and read the question. Highlight agile vs hybrid. Product Owner vs. PM.

After the test:
Wish I would have taken the day off from work, my boss said I could but I alway say yes to everything and one of my coworkers wanted me to come to her training (she didn't know about my exam) lolOnce that I home (early) I headed to the grocery store, picked up something to eat, cake, and beers. Ended my afternoon with 1 or 3 beers, met up with some friends for some plans (even tho I wanted to sleep) then relaxed for the next 24 hours lol. Can't wait to do absolutely nothing this weekend LOL.
THANK YOU
I think I literally covered everything but please ask me any questions. I can't express how much you guys helped me. Without you I would either be spending another weekend studying, or currently crying from having failed a $500 exam. Don't know which is worse. Passed this test for $85 (WORTH IT) Thankful for this community, but please rememmeber we are an inately highfunctioning and ambitious group. We are used to seeing highscores everywhere but Study Hall isn't about being perfect it's just about being prepared. Trust your preparations, you are already a project management proffessional, the three letters don't define you. Your identity is YOURS. Good luck and best wishes!2023.03.31 23:24 Due_Performance8587 How to get the scent of fish off a wedding dress.
Hi im 21(f) and im getting married in 2 weeks. Its a very small courthouse wedding but we are still getting dressed up for the big day. I ordered a wedding dress off of amazon and its absolutely beautiful. It had amazing reviews and was fairly priced. Well it got delivered today and i opened it to find it smelled like fish oil very heavily. My fiance was gagging at the scent. Im afraid to just "throw it in the washer". I live in apartments. Im just worried something will happen to my dress. How do i fix the scent without risking ruining it? Please help!

The purpose of this thread is to provide rebooters with a place to share their commitment to abstain from particular sexual behaviors throughout the entire month.
New to NoFap and rebooting? Here are some suggestions:
- Learn about the website, porn addiction, excessive masturbation, sexual compulsivity, and abstaining from PMO. Read through NoFap's main website to get informed.
- Read about the basics of rebooting here. Rebooting is the abstinence from certain sexual behaviors to recover from pornography addiction. Read about how porn addiction develops here. Some people go beyond rebooting and into the territory of retention, or sexual transmutation for periods of time, although that is not the main purpose of this subreddit (which is RECOVERY).
- Consider reading through the free Getting Started PDF from NoFap's website.
- Download NoFap's in-browser panic button extension that blocks NSFW subreddits too. Download here
- Decide if rebooting is something that you really want. If you don't buy into the process 100%, you'll probably not make it through the month. If you have decided that you would like to participate, proceed to the next point.
- Sign up for this month by replying to this submission. It is that simple. State your intention and stick to it!
- Consider setting up a day counter badge to track your progress.
- Ask questions and get support by posting on NoFap. Set a goal to remain accountable by making a post daily. Help others. Come here every day and participate.
- If you need additional support, you can get an accountability partner and document your progress in a daily rebooting journal.
- Are you not going to allow yourself to masturbate? View porn? Orgasm whatsoever? Not allowing any outlet for sexual release is called "hard mode".
- How long do you want this challenge to last? By default it is one month, but 90 days is recommended for rebooting.
- What are your goals?
- Why are you doing this?
It's okay! Still state your intentions and don't postpone rebooting based on the day of the month. People can join in at any time to participate.

2023.03.31 23:21 KimberBr I am the lucky one
So I have been lurking and reading for awhile now and I honestly feel like maybe I should just call myself poly even if I only have one partner. Let me explain...
20 years ago, I met my now hubby on a bdsm site. At the time I had a bf/Master and now hubby didn't realize I would be open to a poly relationship. To be fair, neither did I. Then bf and I had a don't ask, don't tell policy which I abhor now. Not for any reason other than I learned communication is super important in a poly or even mono relationship and I don't believe in hiding what I am doing. Fast forward to 2007 when my girl passed away from brain cancer and her death was the catalyst for me to realize I was not happy and could not see myself long term with my bf. We broke up and I moved from Massachusetts to Texas. While there, I started talking to another guy whom was killed by a drunk driver in October. I spent several inconsolable weeks crying myself to sleep before I decided to reach out to hubby. He had been a good friend before and I needed one now.
We started talking every night on the phone when I confirmed I was single and his ex wife pushed him to ask me out. With the deaths of two friends so close together, it really pushed me out of my comfort zone and I agreed to meeting hubby in Jan/Feb of 2008. We spent two weeks together, fell in love and me going back to Texas was the hardest, most gut wrenching thing to happen to me in awhile. I cried on the bus heading back to Toronto Airport (he lived in Hamilton) and on the plane ride back to Texas. We managed 5 months apart before we both agreed it was not working for us. I moved in with him for 3 months (the most time allowed without a visa) while looking for a place in Buffalo. For the next 6 years, I traveled back and forth between Buffalo and Canada until I got my permanent residency card in 2018. During that time, I went to school and graduated twice, he got divorced, he had a psychotic ex gf who very nearly broke us apart after being together for 8 years, they broke up and he found my meta whom we now live with. And we got married in 2019, they got engaged in 2022 (I am so excited to help her plan their wedding!!) And honestly I could not be happier.
So here are the partnerships so you can see where I am mono dating poly and I'll explain why I am no longer sure that fits me as it seems most mono dating poly are unhappy and I really don't read many stories that are like mine.
Hubby and me
Hubby and play partner
Hubby and fiance/meta
Meta and bf (the four of us + metas special needs brother live together)
Meta and fwbs
I am very much an introvert and loner. Also the crazy cat lady (I have 3 kittens under 2). I love, want and need time to myself. During the week, hubby sleeps upstairs with fiance and with me on the weekends and odd days during the week when long haul truck driver bf comes home. This works for us and we are all happy with how things are.
We have family nights where we play Euchre, Squence, Risk or dominoes. We watch movies together. We have family dinners where hubby's parents and metas dad come over. On the days when I am feeling extra ant-social, they have movies they watch together and I watch my football or hockey. Or read. Or play games on my phone. I am happy to be by myself and this works in that I see hubby every day and kiss him goodnight even if he doesn't sleep with me. It's fantastic.
Meta and I also get along really really well (shocker!) And we have our own shows we watch together like Love is Blind (no spoilers for season 4 pls!) Or Perfect Match. And we also watch Last of Us or Witcher or Mandolorian. Point is, even when we are alone, we still have company if we want.
Things have not always been perfect. Hubby and I nit pick at each other to stop the big explosions and usually its financial stress. But we see a forever home together with his fiance and her bf and brother and the girl who swore she would never live with another female after the fiasco of his ex wife and psychotic ex gf can see that too.
All in all, I am happy to be mono dating poly. I just wish others were happy too.

For the next 6 years, I traveled back and forth between Buffalo and Canada until I got my permanent residency card in 2018. During that time, I went to school and graduated twice, he got divorced, he had a psychotic ex gf who very nearly broke us apart after being together for 8 years, they broke up and he found my meta whom we now live with. And we got married in 2019, they got engaged in 2022 (I am so excited to help her plan their wedding!!) And honestly I could not be happier.
So here are the partnerships so you can see where I am mono dating poly and I'll explain why I am no longer sure that fits me as it seems most mono dating poly are unhappy and I really don't read many stories that are like mine.
Hubby and me
Hubby and play partner
Hubby and fiance/meta
Meta and bf (the four of us + metas special needs brother live together)
Meta and fwbs
I am very much an introvert and loner. Also the crazy cat lady (I have 3 kittens under 2). I love, want and need time to myself. During the week, hubby sleeps upstairs with fiance and with me on the weekends and odd days during the week when long haul truck driver bf comes home. This works for us and we are all happy with how things are.
We have family nights where we play Euchre, Squence, Risk or dominoes. We watch movies together. We have family dinners where hubby's parents and metas dad come over. On the days when I am feeling extra ant-social, they have movies they watch together and I watch my football or hockey. Or read. Or play games on my phone. I am happy to be by myself and this works in that I see hubby every day and kiss him goodnight even if he doesn't sleep with me. It's fantastic.
Meta and I also get along really really well (shocker!) And we have our own shows we watch together like Love is Blind (no spoilers for season 4 pls!) Or Perfect Match. And we also watch Last of Us or Witcher or Mandolorian. Point is, even when we are alone, we still have company if we want.
Things have not always been perfect. Hubby and I nit pick at each other to stop the big explosions and usually its financial stress. But we see a forever home together with his fiance and her bf and brother and the girl who swore she would never live with another female after the fiasco of his ex wife and psychotic ex gf can see that too.
All in all, I am happy to be mono dating poly. I just wish others were happy too.

2023.03.31 23:16 HarrowingOfTheNorth The decline and fall of the Cricket Empire - but thoughts on how it could be saved
Not with a bang, but with a whimper – that is how T.S.Eliot said the world would end. And thus cricket whimpers along to its death, yet I believe that at least one “bang” heralded the long decline.
As a New Zealander, it pains me to say it, but it was Brendon McCullum's hundred when the IPL started that was that bang. With that hundred, the success of the IPL was guaranteed, and with it the growth of Twenty20 cricket, and the growth of the “unholy trinity” of the Australian, Indian, and English cricket boards. Now we see degeneracy – 500 runs in a Twenty20, “Bazball” going at 6.5 an over in a test.
But, if that was the start of the end – when was the apogee? Interestingly, it was in India again. Bapu Nadkarni's spell against England in 1964 – 32-27-5-0. Almost two hundred balls of spinning, hissing hostility, each ball a pocket universe of menace. Each ball kissing the pitch and spitting like a cobra; but at the other end, Ken Barrington, with hands like a surgeon's, steadily defusing that hostility and keeping the glorious balance of cricket. Not hitting out, not getting out, but maintaining the balance.
For it is that balance that defines true cricket – the balance between bat and ball. And that can be summed up in a simple maxim: “A good ball should be defended or left alone.” There is nothing degenerate about hitting six half volleys or long hops for six or four. There is something degenerate in good balls being slogged for six while a batsman stands with his feet in concrete.
If this trend continues, cricket will become a degenerate, primitive version of its true self, the balance tilted so far to the batsmen that the role of the bowler will be merely to serve up to be hit away. Baseball has not done this; basketball has not done this; soccer has not done this; no other sport has tilted so far in favour of offense.
How can it be fixed? I have many ideas, and not all of them would need to be implemented simultaneously or the balance would shift too far the other way. But a selection of them would restore the balance at the heart of good cricket.
1 Thinner bats – I believe this is the single biggest thing to be done. Thicker bats mean that errors now fly for six. With thinner bats, only a perfectly timed shot carried for six. Ensuring bats have a maximum thickness will make the margin of error much tighter, meaning more people caught in the deep if they don't quite time it. It will make degenerate shots such as the ramp much more difficult and ensure those players with timing and technique continue to prosper.
2 Abolish helmets, arm guards – much modern degenerate strokeplay comes because batsmen have become fearless. They can scoop and ramp and hook because there is no fundamental fear for life and limb. Abolish helmets and arm guards so the fear returns; then we will see them duck and weave rather than hook or ramp. Wearing a floppy hat, who would be confident enough to scoop Mitchell Starc?
3 Stop covering pitches – when the great players of yore ruled, they played on pitches that were not covered. One day they might be damp, the next after a period of sun they might turn into a sticky dog. Modern pitches have been neutered into “six delivery systems” - 22 yards of concrete. Stop covering them. Try hitting Nortje back over his head when the pitch is damp and flying.
4 Put the boundaries back – as with thick bats, the modern trend of bringing in the boundaries has meant that mishits now carry for six. Put the boundaries right back on the fence. Yes this will be dangerous but cricket is not meant for cowards and it may actually favour the batsman because fielders will not dive into picket fences like they do today.
5 Abolish the bodyline rules – this would only happen if helmets were still allowed. The ban on more than two fielders behind leg was to protect batsmen, but now they have enough protective equipment to storm Bakhmut. The rationale has disappeared. Allow as many fielders behind square on the leg side as the bowling team wants. Let's see modern batsmen go at six and a half an over for 90 overs with two leg slips and a leg gully and a catching long leg.
Now, bringing in all five ideas at once would be too much. But a few of them would bring much-needed balance back to the game.

 | submitted by Thestockxpo to u/Thestockxpo [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/x3hrkz1m15ra1.png?width=930&format=png&auto=webp&s=bce48f3d30fb61e2b6fcde6c2d08d577a0ab5ac0 Hello to all our readers including Traders, Investors, Analysts, and others!!!! As the stock market continues to fluctuate, investors are keeping a close eye on the biggest movers of the day. According to StockXpo, some of the top-performing stocks midday include Bed Bath & Beyond, EVgo, UBS, and more. Bed Bath & Beyond has experienced a surge in stock prices, up 3.29% midday. The retail company has been working to revamp its stores and e-commerce strategy, which seems to be paying off. EVgo, a provider of public electric vehicle charging stations, saw its stock rise by 2.85%. The company recently announced plans to go public through a merger with Climate Change Crisis Real Impact I Acquisition Corporation. UBS, a multinational investment bank, is up 1.68% midday. The company has been focusing on expanding its wealth management division, which has seen increased demand from clients. While these companies are performing well in the market, it's important for investors to not lose sight of the fundamentals of investing. According to Jim Cramer, host of CNBC's “Mad Money," investors should focus on companies with strong earnings and revenue growth, as well as solid balance sheets. In addition to stocks, Bitcoin has also been making headlines. Despite regulatory crackdowns, the cryptocurrency has climbed above $28,000, according to StockXpo. Investors have been showing an increased interest in Bitcoin, as it offers a decentralized and secure way to transfer funds. However, it's important to note that Bitcoin is still a highly volatile asset and carries a significant amount of risk. As the market continues to evolve, it's crucial for investors to stay informed and make decisions based on sound financial principles. By focusing on companies with strong fundamentals and diversifying their portfolios, investors can navigate the market with confidence. Here we are again with this week’s recommendations. Please note that overall the market was very much on the upside, and whether you are following our recommendations or not, I am sure if you have been trading this week ending today then you must have collected a lot of profits.

SHCO(Soho House & Co Inc.): Soho House & Co Inc. is a British company that operates a chain of private members' clubs across the world. It is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol SHCO and falls under the Consumer Cyclical sector. In this article, we will discuss why SHCO is technically and fundamentally strong for swing trading in the upcoming days or weeks.

After a brief dip in July and August, the stock has been on an uptrend, consistently making higher highs and higher lows. The 50-day moving average has crossed above the 200-day moving average, which is a bullish signal that suggests the stock's momentum is picking up. Additionally, the stock has shown support at the $14-$15 range, indicating that the price is unlikely to fall below that level in the near future.

The company operates a unique business model, with a focus on creating exclusive members-only spaces that offer a range of amenities, including restaurants, bars, co-working spaces, and hotel rooms.

Furthermore, SHCO's financials are promising. In its most recent earnings report, the company reported strong revenue growth, with total revenues of $371 million, up 62% year-over-year. The company has also been expanding its operations, with plans to open new clubs in Paris, Austin, and San Francisco, among other locations.

With a bullish technical outlook and a promising fundamental backdrop, the stock is well-positioned to take advantage of the rebounding hospitality industry.

StockXpo's Diversification Strategy Companies often consider diversification when they reach a certain point in their development. Igor Ansoff identified diversification as one of the four main growth strategies in 1957, and it allows companies to look at other markets or new products to expand their reach and revenue. Diversification aims to smooth out unsystematic risk occurrences in a portfolio by ensuring that the positive performance of some investments balances out the negative performance of others. Only if the securities in the portfolio are not completely correlated—that is, if they react to market factors differently, frequently in opposing ways—does diversification pay off. If you are following all strategies and watchlist – here is the recommendation for the StocXpo diversification Strategy-

2023.03.31 23:10 pillowpossum Made a point not to reach out to my ndad and it's like he doesn't even notice
My dad crossed a boundary (not that I've ever done a good job setting them with him) recently and I'm trying to be different this time. Basically he told his friends that they are invited to my wedding but didn't tell me or ask about adding them onto the guest list. I don't even know these people but he feels the need to add "his own people" because my family is very small, while my fiances is huge. Most of the guest list is his family, like 150 his side and like 10 my side. I just never had a big family. And it shouldn't be about my dad feeling "outnumbered" anyway, it's our day.
Anyway he told his friends they are invited, it got mentioned at dinner a few weeks ago and I was like "you never sent me these names or asked for this." We were in front of his GF so he doubled down and kept saying yes we discussed this. He texted me later saying he emailed me (even provided a fake email forward to me where you can tell the time and date has been altered).
This feels like such a tiny issue but my entire life he has done mean things, and constantly tells lies, and we all give him a pass to keep from being uncomfortable. I decided to be honest and told him I don't appreciate him doing this again. He snapped back that he's gonna give me a bunch of money (which he never mentioned before, and in my experience any offers of help are kept intentionally vague so he doesn't actually have to follow through) so how hard is it to add them.
I haven't talked to him since. He said he wanted to call me the other day and I told him I'm free, but he never did. I am keeping a deal with myself not to call him first, because I always do. If I don't call him we don't talk and then he says how he misses me.
He has sent a few texts since then and I'm giving one word answers. It's like he doesn't even understand that I'm deliberately not reaching out. Like he just won't ever get it. It took a lot for me to confront him and it doesn't even mean anything to him. I'm not sure what to do from here.

2023.03.31 23:09 Salt-Quiet-8264 Struggling 63 days into a 90 day abstinence
My DDay with my wife of 36 years was Jan 26th this year. I started attending daily SLAA zoom calls that evening. I'm seeing a CSAT therapist and my wife knows some but not all of my addiction. I have not had sex with anyone including myself since then and I'm abstaining from alchohol. I don't have a sponsor yet and I'm working on step 4. Lately, I'm I've started slipping. I feel it and I'm terrified of failing. I need advice and help. Any wisdom?

2023.03.31 23:09 NonSequitorSquirrel Having a really rough time
I found out I am likely to lose my job next month and ever since then my sugars have spiked and will not come down. I usually have 25-30u/day and right now I'm at around 50u /day, still running high and eating relatively low carb (60-90/ day) to mitigate. Not that it's working.
I haven't had work stress impact my sugars like this since 2015 and I just hate it. And now I have Sjogrens too so that's also been flaring up. It's like my body says "Oh are you really worried and upset? Would it help if I tried to kill you?"
OK end rant. Thanks for listening. I know my sugars will come down once I'm unemployed and just can breathe. I always feel better after the thing I'm worried about happens. But it's been literally a full calendar week of 200s and 300s. I need a break! 😭

2023.03.31 23:02 RazzberryQueen91 Update: That time BIL guilt tripped me over my Grandmothers funeral TW Death
This is kind of a morbid update, and it's super petty of me, but i'm going to post it anyway.
The former post was about how my BIL was pissed that MY grandmothers funeral was private. (even though he had never met my grandmother.) He just couldn't get over how a funeral could be private, and got pretty nasty with me while I was grieving the loss of my grandmother.
Well, DH (and BIL)'s grandfather passed away earlier this year. He had private services.
Bonus update, u/YoureDelightful guessed that SIL (BIL's fiance) wanted more information so she could get a paid bereavement day. I think you were on to something, because DH's wonderful Aunt let me know that SIL took time off of work after DH's grandfathers passing.

2023.03.31 23:02 they_is_cry Where's the Party? Did They Forget to Invite Keith?
In 1993 Keith Krehbiel published a paper that ignited a debate in the American politics literature on political parties. Keith would argue that "significant" party behavior was actually quite rare in the US House once you accounted for preferences. This contrasted with a large amount of the literature up to that time. Keith is going to argue three things:
1) Significant party behavior should be defined as legislators voting for a bill "in spite of their disagreement" with the bill. The party should be causing votes to change. We can regress vote choice on party all day, but if party is just a proxy for preferences then the party itself is not very policy relevant.
2) To show significant party behavior we can look at a few "most-likely" cases: committee assignment/conference committee votes.
3) During the late 80's/ early 90's, a purportedly partisan era of the House, that significant party behavior is rare. He does this by regressing (probit) vote choices from 2 on party AND preferences (ideal points). The key test is whether the coefficient (marginal effect) of party is significant. Preferences are significant across multiple tests, while party is generally not.
Keith would then throw down a challenge for the discipline: "Where's the party"?. Much had been written about the party and its powerful (weak comparted to Europe I guess) influence on House behavior, but here comes Keith to throw a damper on that entire literature. In some of the "most likely" cases for partisan behavior, there is a lack of evidence of party voting.
Well, PoliticalScience , I ask you the same question that Keith does. Where's the party? In the US or in your own favorite legislative context do parties influence behavior independent of preferences? Is Keith's definition of "significant party behavior" correct? Should Keith have looked somewhere else for the party?
PhDs: Okay, so this is close to a solved problem, but I think the paper is good/ a fun topic of discussion. If you already know the literature feel free to drop the answers.
