2023.06.10 23:01 AmericanClarinetist Car Trauma

Hello. Thank you for taking the time to read my post and perhaps even help me out. I hope by making this post that I can find some assistance and ways to heal my trauma and get me back to where I was…
So I was driving home from my place of work. I got of the busy interstate and down off the exit ramp. Once I got to the STOP sign at the bottom, I prepared my turn signal and got ready to make my usual left turn to get the next road to go home. I looked right, then left, then right again. I thought I was clear to cross and make the turn, but I guess I was wrong…
The next thing I remember was a car nailing my back driver side door. Both the back driver side window and driver window airbags deployed and my car spun around. I was now facing the exit ramp I just came down. I screamed as I soon realized my car was coasting a bit. I quickly then put the car in park and dialed 911. My car then remained in the middle of traffic for 15 minutes until it was towed off the road and to my home, where it now sits…
This entire scene, from the moment of the turn…to the impact…to the dialing of 911…has been replaying in my head ever since the crash. The crash has happened a little over 24 hours ago, so I get the physical and mental wounds would still be fresh…But…My parents want me back to driving in two days…
They want me to drive the rental car the insurance company will give me for the next however many days, which terrifies me. Every time I sit in silence or I’m with my own thoughts or I feel the pain or soreness on my body from the crash, my mind flashes and replays the incident from the moment I tried to make the turn, to the impact of the crash. Even just sitting in the car today with someone else behind the wheel made me almost slip into a panic attack.
It’s bad enough my autism and anxiety made me terrified to drive starting out of the gate. And the driving coach I had wasn’t the kindest either. But now…Now I’m mortified…
So in short, these are the problems I wish to solve:
1) How can I process and let go of my trauma in the most healthy way that my autism can handle?
2) How can I gain the strength to be able to drive on my own again?
3) How can I learn to just let others drive without me needing to backseat drive?
Thank you…

2023.06.10 23:01 NewTaro3772 Transfer to CS at TMU

Hello,
I am a first year software engineering student at Ontario Tech University. I have completed my first year so far. I applied for a transfer to CS at TMU, and got admitted. I am wondering if any current students can talk how is the CS department at the university and future employment opportunities such as coop. Overall I think that TMU is much better university Ontario Tech, but how good is the CS program at TMU. Do you think its worth transferring from OTU to TMU. Commute isn't a problem for me, as I have my own car.

2023.06.10 23:01 tehchives The Stock List: A review of what was shared, why it was shared, the community feedback, a discussion of applicable law, and getting back to the hard data that this was all about in the first place.

Introduction

Hey everyone! Chives here.
It’s been a busy few days since the stock list was first reviewed by some community members on Tuesday. I can’t link to other posts on this subreddit, but I will pin a comment which does link to other posts from earlier in the week.
One key post I believe people should read is my last DD post, detailing the distinction between the Stock Ledger and the Stock List. Check that pinned comment for a link. I’m going to assume that you’ve looked that post over, so please check it out.
I have been talking at length with those investors who traveled to Grapevine about their process and that will be explained more below. I did not travel to Grapevine myself. I want to talk about privacy expectations and concerns, and I want to address and apologize for some implications within those posts about other community members. If a person was a public figure, or did not share their name ahead of time, and was not verified on the stock list - that does not mean they aren't DRS today. They could have DRSd after the record date, or DRSd through an LLC. The stock ledger is the ongoing live accounting of named record holders, and the stock list is only a snapshot from the record date.
I feel as though the response from other communities has had a chilling impact on discourse and discussion, and hope to address that in depth. I did make several comments in other posts over the last day with similar information which curious parties can review. Let's dive in.

The Stock List, and what is Public Information

The stock list is created annually as an authoritative resource of who has voting rights on the record date. Any stockholder of record has the ability to review the stock list. Additionally, any beneficial owner who can satisfactorily prove their identity and beneficial ownership also can review the stock list. These routes allow the possibility to, by appointment with the GME legal team, review the stock list - and is a lengthy process which was successfully navigated by multiple people this year.
The stock list is a public resource which issuers are required to create and make available to investors per the Delaware Codes. By direct registering in your own name, it is possible for others to review this list and find your position. Some investors may not have been aware that this is how the system works. Community figures recognized as familiar with systemic intricacies like Dave Lauer did not realize that this information would be publicly available. https://i.imgur.com/6fPL8gB.png
As a founder of WhyDRS.org and as a longtime contributor to DRSGME, I have known for years that direct registration with a publicly traded company does come with the caveat that your name and position will be listed on the public ledger. A recent example was the release of the BBBY filings through Ch11 bankruptcy, which displayed names/positons/addresses of investors. It has been a surprise to me personally that so many were not aware of this fact, but I am glad that it has become a focus point.
I do believe that one of the only positives of holding through a broker, and therefore Cede, is semi-anonymity. Your name and position will be viewable to your Broker, of course, but not to the broad investing public - and individuals viewing the stock list would not see your name, as you would be included in the large aggregate holdings of Cede and Co. It is still possible to hold shares through an LLC you control rather than in your own name, and introduce another step of obfuscation, if you would like to have legal title of your own shares.
Some users, including myself, were approached and made aware that investors were going to view the stock list. These users were asked if they would share the name they hold shares under. I decided of my own accord to share my name with them, and after Tuesday 6/6, they told me my exact position as of 4/21/23 (the record date). Due to this proof that they viewed the stock list, I believe all other information shared is accurate. No positions were shared unless they were consulted and consented ahead of time. Public figures were searched for in order to confirm DRS position under their name, but specific positions were not shared.

Why share the stock list?

A lot of useful hard data can be derived from the stock list – such as average position size, most common position size, geographic distribution of investors, and much more. As I have been told - most of this data has not yet been shared, and will still be shared over the coming days.
The stock list is a public document available to anyone who secures an appointment with the issuer’s legal team by satisfactorily confirming that they are stockholders. It is every investor's right to access this list if they choose to do so.

The Legal Citations

There have been multiple prominent figures, (including Dr. Trimbath)[https://twitter.com/SusanneTrimbath/status/1667275379806019584?cxt=HHwWgIC9wfqHraMuAAAA], who are under the impression that the posts regarding the stock list were in violation of Federal Law. This is a serious allegation that I have spent time diving into and hope to satisfactorily address here.
The CFR code cited was: https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-17/chapter-II/part-240/section-240.14a-7#p-240.14a-7(a)(2)(ii)
This code is clear that it would be illegal to share personal information from a stock ledger, such as addresses, for reasons other than solicitation around a proxy vote. There are two reasons I believe this code does not apply.
First, notably, the CFR is referring to the stock ledger and not the stock list. As I mentioned in my adjacent post exploring the difference between the stock list and the stock ledger, the stock list is a document generated and derived from the stock ledger in adherence to Delaware codes. Users who shared information from the stock list also did not solicit any other investors for any reason.
Second, the investors who accessed the stock list received confirmation from GME legal that they secured appointments through Delaware codes and not through the federal CFR codes governing the stock ledger.
https://i.imgur.com/GPi0fAs.png
Here is a link to the relevant Delaware codex under which investors successfully gained access to, and took information from, the stock list. Section 220b1 is most relevant.
https://delcode.delaware.gov/title8/c001/sc07/#220
(b)Any stockholder, in person or by attorney or other agent, shall, upon written demand under oath stating the purpose thereof, have the right during the usual hours for business to inspect for any proper purpose, and to make copies and extracts from: (1) The corporation’s stock ledger, a list of its stockholders, and its other books and records
The purpose of examining the stock list was to empower apes to dig deeper into verifiable data, as has always been a core tenet of our community. I would encourage all readers to familiarize themselves with the difference between the stock ledger and the stock list and then review the relevant legal codes linked above. I am not a lawyer and would appreciate your sharing alternative interpretations, if you have them. I do not see any section of these codes which would have been violated by the posts and data shared by the investors who traveled to Grapevine. From what I can see, there is no provision for confidentiality in these Delaware codes.

Community Reception

I would like to apologize on behalf of this community for how some of the information gathered by the investors who traveled to Grapevine was presented. Although the offending post has been removed by Reddit admins, and so I can’t cite it directly, I would still like to address it.
The original post included an implication that selfless community figures, including the mods from other subs interested in DRS and GME, were not directly registered. I want to address that here. There is no way to know who is direct registered and who is not from the stock list implicitly. The stock list is a snapshot in time from the record date of 4/21/23, and it’s still possible to be holding shares in the name of an LLC they control.
Some users, like myself, were made aware of efforts to view the stock list and chose to provide their names ahead of time. The vast majority of investors were NOT made aware and were NOT asked to share their names, and therefore were NOT able to be ‘confirmed’ or ‘verified’. This is in no way indicative that anyone who was not asked, or was asked and did not share their personal info, is not direct registered.
There is no issue if any individual feels uncomfortable about the idea of their information being recorded on the stock list. I believe that the truth, that direct registration under your own name means the publication of your name on a public resource, is a net positive for the investing community gathering on this subreddit. All truth is worth sharing and worth undergoing scrutiny.

The Data Still To Come

There is still a huge amount of primary source data to dig into from the Stock List. At this point, the list has been all but verified thanks to the users who confirmed the positions expressed were accurate including Peruvian Bull, PWNWTFBBQ and Dave Lauer.
I have checked in with the users who reviewed the stock list and confirmed they have more data to come, including:
How many accounts have one share or less? What's the most common share size listed? How many accounts with a certain amount of shares? How many holders are there from each country?
In my opinion, most of all, the stock list gives a 5th primary source and data point for DRS holdings through 2023. GameStop has shared DRS records in their 10Q and 10K, and now this community has a fifth data point which it never had before.
I am excited and looking forward to see what the broader community can discern using this data, and I appreciate the time from all who read through this post in effort to better understand the motivations and details behind the sharing of information from the stock list.

2023.06.10 23:00 AutoModerator What is #VALZUBIRIAGENDA and some ideas and insights

The 3 basic parameters of hashtag #Valzubiriagenda:

  1. We artists and everyone else can write and self-publish art- and artist-related books: memoirs, biographies, art books and art catalogs. Books are forever. Pamphlets and brochures are not books.
  2. We announce a schedule of increasing prices of our art pieces, which includes quantities (scarcity numbers) per price point and overall (the total quantity of art pieces we might ever make). This helps art traders, art investors and art collectors speculate or even stop speculating and instead join a community of investors working together to hopefully skyrocket to the higher announced prices in a shorter span of time.
  3. We can use the NFT world, because NFTs provide the tracking (who owns what) and trading.
We can also not be involved with NFTs. Stores and individuals can help sell art using online presence and our catalogs in the stores. If this trends, or once this trends, even expensive art can be sold by neighboring businesses, without exclusivity. Commission systems do not have to be standardized. Art investors can produce their own catalogs to leave at the cafés. Even the cafés can produce their own catalogs.
Valzubiriagenda NFTs
NFTs only came about a few years ago. But I had been working on this since the 1990s. I wrote a book, Valzubiriagenda, along with fellow artist Silverio Perez, and released it in 2018 (Amazon and elsewhere), tackling everything related to #1 & #2. We'll come up with #3 in a later book/ memoi marketing book.
Any artist, including tangible artists can release 10,000 NFTs if the artist chooses to do so. For tangible artists, the NFT first becomes an Art Commission Contract for sight unseen, yet-to-be made art. Once the art is made, the NFT becomes proof of ownership that the actual, tangible art is theirs.
Warehousing our tangible art
Another related idea is that the tangible art may be warehoused by the artist so that the NFT traders continue to trade. This means that even 10-ton 10-foot tall sculptures can be owned and traded by anyone without worrying about shipping, reshipping, scratches, smudges, parts breaking off, etc. The newness of the pieces remain because they are stored by the artist, source, gallery, etc. The art piece gets shipped to the art collector, the ultimate owner.
An artist who makes ceramic coffee mugs - smaller art pieces, can release 10,000 NFTs with a schedule of increasing prices so that NFT traders can trade immediately. The 10,000 coffee mugs can get damaged, so as they are made, they continue to be stored by the artist, until the time when art collectors decide to have the art pieces shipped to them.
Why only now?
I decided to write as many book-length memoirs as I can before I came out to promote this.
I'm an artist and an author. Both need time to "master." I would not even fully use "master" on myself, because there's always something new, even to my own art, my own writing and publishing.
I am now claiming that I'm the visual artist who has produced the most artist memoirs in the world. I have 5 on Amazon. I count Valzubiriagenda as both a marketing book and a memoir-of-sorts, because it has a lot of my own life lessons on writing and publishing. I would not care to contest my claim of having the most memoirs. I will release 5 more over the next 3 years.
BARTER! Get help to write, photograph art and publish your books!
Anyone can hire 11 ghostwriters for 11 memoirs. If you can make art, but you cannot write, then barter your forever art with those who can help you produce forever books.
I don't feel the pressure of writing and publishing because I feel my focus should be on art students and art experts who would study my art and my books 100 years from now. Don't expect relatives and friends to read your books.
I call myself the Dollman
For my NFTs, I am proposing to make dioramas - my original, costumed, bejeweled porcelain dolls in backdrops that will also have precious metals and gemstones. This way I can incorporate precious metals and gemstones in my work, to make sure that people perceive my art as expensive, just in case I myself don't become "famous" - there's no need to get world famous. We are artists and all we need to do is to satisfy the art niche.
Use your laptop now!
I will encourage you to start writing your book-length memoir. Write, Edit and then Self-publish it. Get help. Why wait a hundred years for someone to write about you when all you need is a laptop and a nearby coffee shop.
Don't start counting chickens before the eggs hatch. I have encountered a lot of would-be writers who immediately see themselves as bestselling. world famous assets to society. Two even wanted me to sign NDAs (Nondisclosure agreements), because they did not want me to steal their book ideas.
Here's a suggestion. I would not personally do it. From one manuscript can come 2 books: The Original Draft (unedited, with misspellings, considered to be an art piece, scanned pages(?) of your handwritten original effort), and The Final Edition (edited).
PROVENANCE!
Another way to enhance our investability, tradability and collectability is PROVENANCE - how art ownership proceeds through time. The way this can be done is also through publishing books. Everyone can write their memoirs, biographies, art books and art catalogs, including traders, investors and art collectors. In effect, we artists can continue to be included or mentioned in even more books, without any additional effort by us.
You as an investor, reseller, trader, art collector should be able to publish a catalog with 250 works by 250 different artists, but they need to agree to this right from the start - it's your money, you should require them to follow your version of the hashtag #valzubiriagenda parameters, which preferably should include permission for you to publish their art. Why would you track down 250 artists later?
No exclusive contracts
If you're a café, you can call for artists, and come up with a book with for example, 30 artists, with a chapter devoted to each artist's profile and images of the artist's art.
You can distribute your catalogs to businesses and individuals near and far and online.
The book Valzubiriagenda even cites that funeral homes and janitors closets can sell art, with or without exclusivity. Airline catalogs can include million dollar art pieces. Car manufacturers, showrooms and even car repair shops can sell art as well. Everyone should be able to do this, anywhere in the world, especially not just because of the pandemic, but right now, we are in really bad economies.
What's with the name #Valzubiriagenda
I was into conspiracy theories in 2018, and this term, "The Mandela Effect," was popular. I had read many times that an artist coined the term, but I had to research online, for her name, many times, before remembering it. I'm not good at remembering names. It took me a year and a half to finally tell you that Fiona Broome coined "The Mandela Effect."
I also thought I might have to research trademarks and copyrights just to come up with a generic name. So I decided on "Valzubiriagenda." I was not really sure at first, but I decided to use it as the title for my book (with co-authoartist Silverio Perez) so that there would be no turning back and I can move on.
Am I a FUTURIST?
Someone I recently met this May 2022 just called me a futurist.
In the 1990s, I proposed to a pension fund that they can raise billions of dollars, especially for emergencies, or as needed, or out of desperation, if the pension fund purchases a quantity of art from an artist who not only has a current, reasonable price, but an announced future price that the artist wants to reach.
That future price would obviously be higher than the current price. The art commission contract for multiple art pieces can be taken to the fund's financial lender for a loan. The higher future price can be used for financing purposes.
The pension fund's treasurer, a publicly elected official, said this idea might work, but we had to keep this a secret and discuss this some more, because other pension funds might copy and do this prematurely. This idea had to come from the two of us. The treasurer needed his votes and I needed credentials.
Added into the pot was my idea that I, as the artist, will also write one book-length artist memoir. This was and still is a strong factor, because the leadership and marketing books I had read then mentioned a strong tip. If you want to advance in your field, write a full-length book that is related to the field.
Unfortunately, the elected official, the treasurer of the pension fund, who was also a friend, passed away - he was old and had ailments. At that point in time, I cannot just approach another pension fund treasurer to share this idea with.
I realized I had to write a few memoirs. I needed to set an example for other artists, so I needed to write more than one memoir. Then I felt I should also make ready another book - the how-to of what I'm up to. I wrote Valzubiriagenda, which was a memoir of sorts. I knew how long it would take me to write a book, so I had to make sure I can also consider this book a memoir.
In 2008, I imagined that someone like Bernie Madoff, or a fund like Lehman Brothers, would be desperate enough to use this to save themselves and their companies. I was not ready. I had only written 1 manuscript for a memoir.
In 2012, I released Dollman the Musical, A Memoir of an Artist as a Dollmaker. Once again, I was not ready because writing it depressed me a little, and I knew I had to write more.
In 2014, I released 3 memoirs, and re-released Dollman the Musical. Besides releasing regular books, I released special editions of the 4 books, which had a "Special Secret Insert for Bankers," which explains my ideas of an announced schedule of exponentially increasing prices, to satisfy investors, and the publication of artist memoirs, to satisfy art collectors.
In 2014, I also issued out a press release. Google "Can Billion Dollar Artist Save Investors and World Economy Valentino Zubiri PRWeb August 19 2014" and you will see the press release.
What I did was stake a claim on my ideas. I did not promote my books and the press release. I just wanted them to stay online, like a sleeping giant or a dormant volcano. I even designed 3 of the book covers to look like indie books from the 1980s. I was planting the seeds, thinking they will eventually grow and bear fruit in the future.
In 2015, I was interviewed by Richard Syrett, about one of my memoirs, Hocus Pocus Lately. This book is my memoir with paranormal stories. I could have pursued promoting my paranormal stories, but I wanted to be known first as a visual artist and memoirist, so I allowed myself one interview related to Hocus Pocus Lately. Richard Syrett has(had?) his own syndicated radio show, The Conspiracy Show with Richard Syrett, about the paranormal. He also guest hosts on Coast to Coast AM, another internationally syndicated show about the paranormal.
In 2018, I released Valzubiriagenda (co-authored by artist Silverio Perez, a fellow artist). Finally, this book is "the how-to of what I'm to."
I'm going to end this with some strangeness. In 1986, a lady at a religious gathering went into a trance and left a good number of messages. Supposedly, anyone who got into a trance would have messages, but once the trance was over, the person would not remember what was said.
I was not part of the group, but the lady turned her head to face me. She "foretold" that whatever I would decide to do in the future, it will take time, but it will be the right thing. This is one of my stories in one of my memoirs, Hocus Pocus Lately.
The Tulipmania of 1634-37
I discovered that there was this incident of rare tulips becoming collectible during the Dutch Golden Age. There were tulips so rare and so well-desired that their prices equaled to that of a house. You can read more about this online (Wikipedia) or watch a few YouTube videos about it.
Here is the most useful idea that I gleaned from the Tulipmania. The tulip bulbs remained safe inside nurseries. The traders were carrying the deeds of ownership to the tulip bulbs.
Then NFTs came to the forefront
I started learning PHP, an HTML scripting language, and MySQL, the database that PHP can connect to in the background, in 1999, when there were only 3 books about PHP and MySQL at the bookstores.
By 2014, I was trying to figure out how to make the "ledger," or database that can be used to update ownership and who can be contacted. If we are trading art, then the art ownership should be updated.
Then NFTs came about. This can be used as our ledger. Everyone can immediately trade NFTs of future, yet-to-be made art pieces, especially because it takes time to make tangible art.
NFTs actually went a step ahead, by allowing digital art to be traded.
The only setback with NFTs, in my opinion, is that it still lacks a commission system for resellers and representatives.
For example, if a café wants to represent me, then they can promote me at their café and on their online pages. If I make one piece of art that will be exclusively represented by a gallery, then that commission will be different and more specific. As ownership is transferred, the subsequent owners should be able to reset the commission. We should also have the option of giving commissions to hundreds of representatives at one time with different percentages if need be.
The recent crypto crash
Lately, we have observed that NFTs and cryptocurrencies have been behaving like the stock market and other markets. They have been fluctuating.
I believe that it is time for a trend which discourages fluctuation of prices.
I have also seen YouTube videos where social influencers are encouraging us to be on the lookout for exponentially profitable ventures, because we have all seen this happen with the exponential increase of Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Let's see if #Valzubiriagenda trends
We can announce present and future art prices. The galleries won't do this (yet?) because they follow a more traditional approach to the business of art.
We have a choice of using incrementally or exponentially increasing prices. We still reserve the right to change things in the future, so everyone should know to follow the latest update.
If this trends, if you as an artist simply announces that you will write an artist memoir, or that you will include the future works in future art books, you might have more art traders, investors and collectors approaching you.
Get your pen, paper and calculator
Imagine yourself as an artist, where you are right now. Let's just say you still do not have a book about yourself and your art yet. Imagine now that you have a memoir out there. Don't you think it makes sense to charge more than what you are charging now? Writing and publishing books is just the beginning. I'm just standardizing this approach. The books also say to do other related projects. In my case, getting Dollman the Musical onstage is one idea. You will have other related projects, but the publication of memoirs, biographies, art books and art catalogs will help all of us.
You can also imagine that a law firm that has meeting rooms, with someone who wants to form a local #valzubiriagenda group, can have meetings. A local café can do the same. Local photographers for your art, writers, editors, book designers, proofreaders and others can join in.
I suggest have printed books to share. 15 copies of your memoir or art books will be better than an e-reader or laptop or your phone to show. These gadgets can be stolen, sabotaged, broken, have coffee spilled on them, etc. 15 printed books means simultaneously showing to 15 people. You can even give them away to potential resellers, investors, traders and collectors.
When it rains, it pours, as in the days of Noah
There's a saying, "When it rains, it pours." There is a negative interpretation and a positive interpretation.
Negative: When trouble comes, they cascade to even more.
Positive: When opportunity comes knocking, more follow suit. We can assume that if one gets our art because of #valzubiriagenda, more want to do it now, because of the rising prices, and FOMO - fear of missing out. What will they lose if they miss the boat?
As I have said earlier, if the #valzubiriagenda trends, if you announce a future memoir or art catalog, you might have an increase of investors, traders and art collectors who would want to check you out. You might encourage more sales. Just remember to write and publish that memoir and art catalog.
There's this saying, "As in the days of Noah." Imagine Noah, building his ark, with members of his own family, putting all his time and effort into it. Noah was a nice guy. I'm sure every once in a while a neighbor offered him coffee, or chai latte, or whatever refreshing drink they might have back then.
Here's the lesson to be learned. Just because they offered him some type of bubble tea drink, or coca cola, they still didn't make it to the ark. Rubbing shoulders with actors does not make you an actor. I have told my artist friends to write their memoirs. They told me that once they see me succeed, after all these many years of seeing my seemingly useless efforts, then they will write their memoirs and follow the road that I had paved for them.
Good luck to them, but if I were you, act now, get my art or make art. Support the 5-year old artist whose parent promised to release a comprehensive art catalog. If you get that 5-year old's art, and mine, I would be honored to be in the same art catalog that you will produce. I'm already successful at that point. You have gotten the mission just right.
I have already claimed to have written the most book-length artist memoirs in the world. Dethrone that claim. Barter. Use ghostwriters. Success to me means facing God one day and saying, I wrote my memoirs and left the world a legacy of books and art. I will not tell God, smiling and proudly, that I encouraged a run for my art by announcing a schedule of exponentially increasing prices that reached 9 figures. I'm sure God knows we had fun.

2023.06.10 23:00 scovit Tesla M3 vs i4 test drive

Test drove tesla model 3 and bmw i4 e35 and e40 both. I have a typical non luxury suv as a family car currently which i plan to use for another 5 years or so and thinking to buy an ev car just for driving fun. I thought bmw i4 will be luxury and very good. But i did not feel as excited after test driving it first time and second time as well the excitement was not there. It didn’t feel any special or so. But when i test drove model 3 i felt excited. I liked the minimalist nature of interior, console, lane keep assisted driving even in base model etc. also model 3 rear seat is more spacious. The range is more. Probably the i4 build quality is better but there is no excitement of buying a new car as such. No wow factor. Cramp rear seats, interior is not that luxurious as i expected in comparison of model 3. When i checked the bmw ix interior made me feel wow, but definitely not i4. Today as there was a stock of e35 with essential package in white exterior and brown interior, the dealor is giving discount of 3k, but still it didn’t excite me to buy the car. This is still 8k cad more expensive than m3. I am still inclined towards tesla model 3 base version red color. Am I thinking right?

2023.06.10 22:59 Gunnarrrrrrr To everyone who feels like we lost yesterday

The only people who lose are those who get shook out before Sumit tells us that Hyundai, Volvo, Mercedes, Ford, Subaru, GM, Jaguar Land Rover etc etc etc want to purchase the ability to L2+ L3 L4 their cars in the next decade because that is what we are selling. We're selling a one box solution for assisted and autonomous driving. And let me tell you. Someone has to win because assisted/autonomous driving is the future. You think all those companies are buying LAZR tech, or INVZ, or Mobileye, or Aeye??! If you thought that you wouldn't be here rn. Your money would be in those companies. EVEN IF every single lidar company got a huge multi-year deal, we'd have to start going back around because there are many more OEMs than lidar manufacturers, even more so when you only include lidar manufacturers with tech that can keep up with the OEMs requirements. We are going to IAA with a car that can literally see what's in the road in front of it and help you drive, a car that many of the people in this sub have test driven in during the investor meeting. We have a solid product, and are working in the necessary channels to sell our products on a massive scale to literally multibillion dollar companies. Ford is worth 54B rn, even being the manufacturer for the knobs that adjust the radio volume would take months to audition for let alone the system that dictates the function of multiple obviously extremely important systems such as your speed, brakes and steerings.
This whole thing, all of it, is just a distraction. Huge swings, crazy run up "out of nowhere" after two years of beat down. Fintel shows institutional ownership as 31%. You think smart money is going to let you make 1000% after Sumit drops a bomb on the market without them trying to pry each share, each dollar from your fingers first? The next 6 months are going to be volatile af, emotional af. Who the F knows, if Cepton wins Ford their SP could go from 0.46c to like $14 overnight. Everything is about to get crazy, not just for MVIS, but for the whole sector. You're invested in MVIS because you see the potential in the industry and because you see a leader amongst the competition. The difference is, Cepton is easy to accumulate, a literally ton of retail investors aren't yoloing and averaging down on cepton for the last many years. They just slow and steady buy buy buy and the price doesn't move. We have made it prohibitively difficult (annoying?) for institutions when they really want to accumulate, I’m talking like 70% institutional ownership out of nowhere accumulate. But alas, institutions don't just go “ah that stock would have been such a good buy, oh well good for those retail investors.” Heck no. They'll put you on an emotional rollercoaster and violently shake your faith in your thesis until you doubt yourself, doubt the company and cripple to the stress, the fear of going back negative, of losing these measly gains. And finally after enough of us have given in, they'll have made their position, deals will be announced and retail will chase. Cliché as warren buffet telling you to be patient. Sumit himself bought 100k shares at $2.14. The man is literally the CEO of the company with tons of awarded shares and he took $214k and yolo'd into his own company knowing he can't even sell for 6 months if he wanted to. Except its not a yolo, its the ultimate insider trade, he knows there will be profits. He's not a fool like hey guys imma buy 100k shares for the lulz and screw myself over and let the stock go back to $0.15 lmao I’ll post my losses on wsb. Be like Sumit and have faith in the process. Faith in the company and in the product. If you want the $6.70 gains by all means take all the profits you can get and live your lives to the fullest. Always invest according to your plan, but know that you left on your own terms. Because even if the SP goes right back to $1.82 after this little baby bounce, longs will not have lost anything so long as they have not sold their shares. Because at $8.20 and at $1.82 Sumit, Anubhav and 350 engineers are making phone calls, taking meetings, selling, pushing and hustling to get their excellent products into the cars of the future. That’s what you’re invested in. That’s what you’ll be rewarded for. Any price action before that is just appeteaser for what’s to come.

2023.06.10 22:59 JustKeith1968 Being black and being a christian does not make sense.

The bible is the most pro-slavery book in print. They banned Huck Finn and the Bible is OK? (I am new to this site, if this topic was beaten to death last week, I apologize ) I grew up in a very fundamental baptist environment, and I guess I have a chip on my shoulder. The hypocrisy they have is beyond belief. The verbal gymnastics they use to get around this is astounding. Anyway, few examples---
Exodus 21:20-21 20 “Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave DIES as a direct result, 21 but they are NOT to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their PROPERTY
Leviticus 25:44-46 44 “ ‘Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations AROUND you (Africa?); from them you may buy slaves. 45 You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. 46 You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, *but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly*. (This one fragment begets the whole "Indentured Servant" defence.
Many Christians will say, But that is the OLD TESTAMENT (Tho, they don't mind getting anti gay scriptures from the Old Testament.) Well, here is the New Testament
Ephesians 6:5–8 Paul states, "Servants, be obedient to your human masters with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ" which is Paul instructing slaves to obey their master. Similar statements regarding obedient slaves can be found in Colossians 3:22–24, 1 Timothy 6:1–2, and Titus 2:9–10.
I think we should get together and take down statutes and images of christianity, nativity scenes, etc. When asked/interviewed, the message will be-- because we are WOKE!! The bible is what the confederate states used to justify their actions, and anyone FOR the bible is pro-confederacy, pro-slavery, and AGAINST human equality and co-existence.
Anyone near Virginia Beach, hit me up, and we can start something. If you are not so confrontational, leave signs in front of religious symbols with the scriptures mentioned, or to a link that has such info on it. I plan to start on flyers TODAY. You can hand them out, or place them on cars at strategic places and events. (Churches, Christmas pageants, etc.)

2023.06.10 22:59 friendlylovinme 28 [M4R] England/Anywhere British Bi Botanist Bookworm Bored but Brimming with Bountiful Banter and Brewed Beverages!

Hello all you lovely people! That was about all the alliteration I could manage on a sunny Saturday evening. I hope my overly positive attitude hasn't got grating by now but I find its best to be outwardly positive, there's enough negativity in the world as it is!
Anyways a bit about me I'm just your average kinda guy (thrilling I know!) just out here looking for some new friends. I love sharing pictures of my angry little cat so sharing some pet pics is always a good ice breaker. I'm quite the tea aficionado so we can happily share our favourites blends too! I love spending time outdoors seeing all the world has to offer whether that's up a mountain or just in the garden taking care of my plants , although I'm equally content wrapped up under a blanket with my latest book.
I'm a pretty open minded person so anyone from anywhere is welcome and I think the world becomes a better place when we all learn about new things from new people from new places. So don't be a stranger hit me up with a message or chat and let's set sail on our brand new friendship! (I also love a good pun).

2023.06.10 22:59 mrthrowaway_ii I don’t know if I should disassociate with both of my parents

I 24M, feel as if I should cut off my parents. They divorced when I was a young child. My father was emotionally and verbally abusive, meanwhile my mother was very codependent on me. Neither of them are bad people, but I feel as if the dynamics of our relationships now are a reflection of what they did and didn’t do in my childhood.
My father is intelligent and hardworking, I am not, so he sees me a disappointment (he has fair reason). He’s seen all of my flaws firsthand, and he made it known. Now, my anxiety is at its highest when I’m around him. Our communication is very forced and shallow. I respect him as a person and he’s accomplished a lot for his upbringing, but we are not benefitting from forcing a relationship.
I am my mothers only child, so she’s very attached to me. Growing up we were poor, but she always tried to spoil me. Now we’re not as close but the codependency is still present. She pays my phone bill, my car insurance (it’s her car), she’ll buy me something or offer to give me money any time I see her.
As a result of all this, I was addicted to drugs and still habitually smoke weed. I don’t have any meaningful, positive relationships in my life besides maybe my mothers sister. I have low self esteem, I can’t hold down a job, I’m always on my phone at home and I really have no life.
I DO however go to the gym 5-6 a week, I eat pretty clean, take supplements, I meditate and try to practice mindfulness, my other hobby is learning languages, and I like to learn European history.
Im not close with almost all of my family. Both of them are pushing 50. They both smoke, my mother has cancer, my dad is very stressed out and works long physical hours, etc. I want to spend more time with them, but I also want to join the military and get away from them. I feel as if my development is stagnating by keeping a relationship with them. What can I do about this?

2023.06.10 22:58 HowdareyouWasTaken Driving sith the red decal (mandatory) to indicate that i have a permit, can I leave it on even if my parents drive?

At least in my state they req a small red decal on ur license plate if ur under 21 w/ a permit/probationary license.
I'm using the same car as my parents so i was wondering if i can leave it on. I'm just worried that they might get pulled over or something for violating a permit/probationary license restriction even though they have standard gdl licenses.
But if i take them on/off each time I'm worried that i might forget them one time and get a fine.

2023.06.10 22:58 RottenBanana207 Yosemite this weekend or Big Sur? cuz weather

Flying into San Francisco Sunday morning 6/11. Was originally planning to go to Yosemite Sun-Tues but the weather looks bad. Wanted to hike to upper Yosemite Falls Monday as the one big hike for the trip. Even half way up to the bottom of the upper falls would satisfy me. Alternative idea is the Cali coastline, Big Sur, etc. which has good weather the whole time and I've never been. I've been to Yosemite once and it won't be the only opportunity to go again in the near future. WHAT TO DO?!

2023.06.10 22:58 MonkFancy481 what is wrong with my sister?

I am wondering about my sister so I can gain a better understanding. I am currently upset and am aware of this. Here's a bit of background about our family. My dad gave no positive attention to my sister, or me growing up, he is a control freak, he did nothing with us as children other than go shopping, or to the park as a family a few times, and family vacations to the same boring location over and over again (he is scared of change). My mum spent her life with my dad, unhappy, trapped, and controlled, and has to deal with him getting drunk every night. My mum is nice, simple minded though, and is so placid and easy going (both of her parents left her when she was very young and then she met my dad) but she did nothing about it and put up with it, even though she lives in misery in front of negative UK tv drama shows in the evening, while my dad drinks his vodka and repeats himself, whilst pausing the tv to comment to the room every so often!. They have no friends, at 73 my dad is still drinking a bottle of vodka a day, and it shows. His temper is terrible. If I give a list of things that I've noticed about my sister, how might she be diagnosed? I am on vacation with her at the moment and it's not going well. I am very sensitive, which doesn't help in dealing with her, here are some things that have happened, and some traits of hers that have hurt me in the past, I am wondering what might be going on. - she is very judgemental, and doesn't think about the big picture, and where her judgements might be coming from. - she is controlling (kind of like my dad who is a control freak. Over the years, even though she knows my dad is explosive, she hasn't given up, she'll push, and say things she know will really offend him, where as I would think, OK I know how this is going to go, avoid at all costs, she'll still go there and end up in a fight with him. - when my friend died in a motorcycle accident, I told her he wasn't happy in life for various reasons, and she responded with 'well maybe it's good that he passed away'. - today my foot was hurting and I needed a band aid. we were heading to get on a boat in spain, I asked her to wait for me while I got a band aid. So when I get back 3 mins later, she's gone, and has taken my mum with her t find the boat boarding area. I panicked and looked around, went in the wrong direction, got really stressed, she basically went to board the boat without me and tried giving me directions there. I was clear about where I was going and that i'd be back in a minute, but she had to leave to get the boat, which I found selfish and inconsiderate, we had enough time. Having no ticket, no idea what the name of the boat she had bought tickets for, anxiety, and feeling abandonment, I gave her a peace of my mind when I found her and told her you don't leave your family - your brother, when he's asked you to wait a minute. We are in a new country in a busy part with boats EVERYWHERE in all directions.Not that its relevant, but my mum chimes in with 'you shouldn't have wondered off!!!'. argh! - my sister is clumsy, quite ego based, and seems to think highly of herself but in an ego way. - she can't drive a car, she failed her test over 20 times before giving up, which deep inside I felt, that if she did drive she would crash. - I once taught my sister how to double click on a mouse, and she couldn't do it. - she is heavy footed, and has a bad knee as a result (stomps about a bit) - she can be nice in offering water, food, and making nice gestures, but after she does something more serious, like leave me ditched, I find it hard to accept these gestures immediately afterwood, although she is trying, I just have a knee jerk reaction where I want to be left alone. - she doesn't seem to consider me properly. she does in a surface level type way. but even this trip, i'd asked her to include me. she books it, then tells me after, I reluctantly buy my tickets too, even though the hotels only offer 2 beds, and no 3 beds, so it's quite expensive for me. - she isn't smart mentally at playing board games, or sports. - she is unhappy with her weight (been dieting forever since young) always talks about my mums weight, what my mum is eating, and judges. -Once I took my top off a few years back, I was in shape (not overweight anyway) and she grinned and looked me up and down, not in a pervy way, but in a judgemental way, and I find it hard relaxing, knowing the judgements might be there. - she is VERY animated. She is usually either frowning or has a weird look on her face, she wears her inside on the outside. I will say, that I have a bit of this also. but nowhere near as bad. - she has had cognative behavioural therapy a long time ago and found it beneficial, but I think that she needs more, she didnd't follow up with any of this type stuff after it seems like a wasted effort (although maybe not) - Once I huffed because she asked me to get something after a long day and I had just sat down, I was tired, and she exploded in rage. Creaming somewhat like a demon. Or george castanza's father, if you know who this character is! - This was taught by my dad (blasting if the conversation doesn't go his way) and she resorts to this sometimes and it's akward and when she does I just cave and leave it it's too much. I grew out of this in my early 20's after being away from my father for the last 20 years, and I'm happy I did because I know it's abusive behavior and unacceptable. - She does try to make amends, but again it just feels like... after the treatment I've had enough... and I'm stuck on vacation with her sitting in my hotel room because i've had enough of it for a day (feeling like a loser over here with some guilt because I am not handling her very well). - She isn't good with riding bikes, her motor skills seem ok at first glance, but she is pretty clumsy. One the way here, she almost sent my mums luggage to france, instead of spain. - she has never saved for a home. she spends her money on vacations, multuple vacations every year. - With this vacation, she doesn't appreciate I've spent 5000 on the trip. And planned everything, asking me if iher plans are OK, but really, she knows what she wants to do and will get v upset if I interfear. I did suggest a town I wanted to visit, which she quickly shot down. She does however say we can pick a day to do all the things she wants, and asks me what I want to do sometimes, but I feel reluctant to want to work with her because it feels like we are not playing on an even playing field to begin with, so I just give up and do what she wants because it feels crappy. - My 19 y/o daughter doesn't appreciate her meatheadedness and didn't want to come on the trip because of her, which I understood and didn't give her a hard time over. She has hung out with her before and finds her mental behavior annoying. - She calls herself a crazy cat lady!! proudly and strangley! - after some drinks recently at a family gathering, after a few drinks, she shouted / proclaimed in a proud angry righteous way 'I"M A CRAZY CAT LADY AND I DONT F'INGGGG CARE'. I just looked at her stone cold sober like... j christ... (she has two cats and likes to pet random cats like most cat lovers do. - She is very surface level. Somewhat obvlivious, I am more of a deep thinker, much more empathetic and thoughtful when it comes to others, which makes being around her difficult. I am really into self awareness, because i've had a lot to work through. Although I know this isn't about me (this is where the part of being being upset is probably not keeping me on topic). - She is narrow minded at the best of times. I realise some of the above might seem laughable. Doing my best to paint a picture, and probably venting as well. I am familiar with narcism, but I am hoping for a more accurate idea of what might be going on, obviously I won't take it firmly as a diagnosis, but I am just wondering what could be going on with her mentally, is she on the spectrum or something else?

2023.06.10 22:58 Lukerplex Do people genuinely think Starmer's shift away from the left is going to bite him?

I feel like I've seen the sentiment a few times, and even as I would describe myself as hard left, I doubt this is going to negatively effect the Labour front bench at all.
Memberships are down but donations are up - there's a potential that it's harder for Labour CLPs to inspire grassroots canvassers, but I already imagine that a majority of constituncies have made up their mind to vote Labour now anyways. Also, less grassroots canvassers from the Corbyn years only serve to provide less resistance for Starmer.
The worst thrown at Starmer by the media was past the 2021 local elections, where he ultimately did fuck all in the lead up, lost Hartlepool with a bungled candidate selection, said he'd "change the things that need to be changed", suffered in the polls for months after, and then partygate hit.
I'm sure there's been some meaningful things he's put forward in the past 2 years, but I don't think it's controversial to argue that most people are anti-Tory than they are pro-Labour in the vote shift.
Thanks to the Tories being (thankfully) self-serving to the point of throwing everyone else with them under, as well as in the case of Truss being as incompetent as she is economically illiterate, Labour has a clear majority coming up without really committing to anything beyond social democracy.
They've rescinded a majority of the 10 pledges, they've done nothing about the Forde Report and shadow cabinet members prove that they're as duplicituous as every arechtypal politician (I routinely think about Streeting asserting women can't have penises and how "important biology is" on some right-wing shit radio minutes before congratulating the Welsh tory for coming out as trans, because it's a perfect microcosm of how spineless I find a majority of the PLP), yet none of this will matter.
Despite all of the shit Labour upper brass pulls, no one outside of here could give a shit, because genuinely, why would the electorate care about something like the NEC selections process or Labour's approach to racism within the party? I've seen maybe 3 articles on the matter that aren't opinion pieces in mainstream media.
A majority of the left-leaning members of parliament ended up standing down from their positions anyways, and while I respect a degree of integrity to stand by your beliefs, there's absolutely zero resistance to Starmer in any meaningful position now.
Assuming the majority in the next election, there's going to be dozens if not hundreds of new MPs that will likely hold the Starmer line as much as they can, and thus can keep Labour in the direction they're heading, while shutting out any meaningful leftism - which I know sounds pretentious, but I genuinely believe that nationalisation of industries, abolishing the lords, PR and the right to strike are barely center-left positions, yet Labour's recent stances on the matter suggest all 4 are too much to stick by.
It's just sad, in all honesty. I know it seems silly on the Labour subreddit to be massively disappointed at the prospect of a Labour government, but I feel like Labour actively doesn't want to represent me, and it's a system where they used to + no other party ever meaningfully will without them. And despite some opinions that think this will be bad for Starmer, I'm not convinced.

I'm a beginner to the sport and the ak 74 is my favourite gun. I've looked and I can't find one for under 300 here. my budget is about 250.
I'm wondering about importing a gun and the laws we have. So I'm wondering about any good websites that will downgrade a gun for me. I know Taiwan gun have an option but they don't have one in stock.
And also the way a lot of people here talk about airsoft guns do you guys even care about the limitations?

2023.06.10 22:57 azorkl How do you stand all those tourists?

Been to your city today, and finally understood, why Londoners hate people from Surrey and such so much. A lot of youngsters on the street, who 100% not from the city, loud, rude and drunk. How do you stand it up? One of them randomly snapped at a car, while crossing on red light and nearly kicked it, one of them harassed a woman, one of them nearly kicked me from nothing, beaches full of assholes etc etc. I would totally gone mad living around it every summer

2023.06.10 22:57 underproved Good doctor for IBS?

Hello! I have been an IBS sufferer for nearly 15 years now. When I was first diagnosed (in Lincoln) my primary doctor and the referred gastroenterologist did a few tests and a colonoscopy that led to my diagnosis. Neither of them wanted to do further tests, and referred me to a dietitian. I have tried several diets, probiotics, digestive enzymes, etc. to help find what works and what doesn’t. I’ve failed to find a diet or supplement that works, and haven’t found any tried and true trigger foods.
I gave up for a while, and just accepted that urgent bathroom needs are my life. I’m now at a place where I’m ready to try again, and it looks like a ton more research has been done around IBS in the last several years.
I’m looking for a good IBS doctor here in Omaha that will be patient with me and help me figure out what’s really going on. I don’t want to be brushed off and left to figure things out on my own again. Any suggestions or experiences from others in the same boat?
