If I got some new stuff from one of those discount bin stores can I exchange it at best buy for store credit without a receipt or will they know it came from another store and more importantly will I get in trouble for it?

2023.05.28 18:39 Alewdris Got any good Columbus Ohio Therapist recommendations for my girlfriend?
My girlfriend is dealing with ADHD, anxiety, depression, and potentially being on the autism spectrum. She struggles with low self-esteem and compares herself to society's unrealistic beauty standards, possibly due to body dysmorphia. It's challenging for me to help her because she has a negative self-perception and finds it difficult to believe anything I say about her beauty.
She has concerns about therapists dismissing or trivializing her problems and suggesting unhelpful approaches like CBT. She also faces difficulties in taking action due to her executive function issues, which leads her to remain stuck in sadness, similar to her mother's experience with depression. To cope, she seeks activities that provide dopamine, but this doesn't address her underlying issues.
She tends to have a "I can't" mentality, and I struggle to find alternative suggestions to shift her mindset towards possibilities. I understand that negative self-talk can become self-belief, so I advised her to refrain from saying "I can't," but I couldn't provide a replacement phrase that would help her change her mindset.
She was diagnosed with ADHD at Life Stance in Ohio. Currently, she relies on her mother to leave the house since she lives with her mom. She completed online classes at Berklee College of Music, majoring in music business. Unfortunately, the college didn't assist her in finding an internship, unlike her brother's college, which provided such opportunities. Consequently, she lost motivation to search for internships after graduation due to her lack of experience, limited to working at an animal daycare, house sitting, and a music store.
Although her dad expresses pride in her, she questions it because she hasn't achieved much in life. He perceives her and her brother as good kids, but they both internalized their emotions, which complicates their self-perception. Additionally, there are other family dynamics at play.
She desires to live in New York because she feels more motivated and inspired there, unlike her current location in Ohio, which she finds boring. However, the high cost of living and her financial dependence on her parents contribute to her depression.
Her mother, who experienced infidelity, also battles depression and refuses to seek help. This environment affects my girlfriend negatively. There's a possibility that her mom also has ADHD. Throughout her childhood, my girlfriend observed her mother's self-deprecating behavior and adopted it as a model for self-treatment.
Furthermore, during her school years, she didn't receive compliments or attention from boys, partly due to her social anxiety, ADHD, and potential autism. This added to her challenges.
Navigating all these complexities feels overwhelming, and although I offer support, it seems hopeless at times. My girlfriend is hesitant to involve me in setting up therapy appointments during her paralyzed phases or executive dysfunction. She believes I wouldn't know what she needs or what to convey to therapists. I've suggested that she communicate her requirements, but she finds it difficult to articulate or list them comprehensively. It appears she prefers to wallow in her depression, similar to her mother, and engage in negative self-perception without seeking help. While she makes some attempts, she tends to avoid activities that don't provide immediate dopamine release.

2023.05.28 18:37 spinningmous Might be a stupid question, but do old squishmallows ever come back into availability?
I just found out squishmallows existed maybe 3 weeks ago when I bought one from kroger on a whim, and now I've seen a few online I'd like to have, but haven't seen on a cursory glance around the internet. i'm sure they're out there but i'd prefer to just buy new ones from stores when possible. So if I wanted an older one, do they all come back to the website or into stores once in a while? Or is it only some that come back sometimes?

2023.05.28 18:36 IJustWondering Should we avoid saving old electronics with lithium ion batteries in case they turn into spicy pillows when no one is looking?
Old electronics tend to accumulate and some of them can even be slightly useful from time to time, like a super old cell phone that can still do youtube on wifi.
However, it seems like they can be a fire hazard if the batteries swell up when no one is looking.
Should you consistently get rid of old cellphones, laptops, even if the batteries are not swollen?
What about small electronics like rechargeable flashlights with lithium ion batteries?
My elderly parent just got a two pack of rechargeable flashlights with small lithium ion batteries, she only plans to use one of them and the other one would normally sit in storage to serve as a replacement. They're new, but sort of an older design that might have been manufactured a while ago.
What are the odds that it just swells up and burns the house down?
Should all lithium ion batteries that aren't used daily be stored in a fire safe way?

2023.05.28 18:34 Salty_Ad_3350 Update on using Goodwill finds
| I was able to cut the thrift store finds into usable pieces. I ordered some Dremel diamond saw blades (the generic brand that was 24 blades for 20$) the skull had a 1/2 inch thick base and the blade handled it. I sawed it in my garage slop sink under a trickle of water. What was disappointing but not surprising was that all the glass was painted and while I was very careful the paint scraped off in multiple locations. I would have to repaint them. I wouldn’t bother trying this again on painted glass. submitted by Salty_Ad_3350 to StainedGlass [link] [comments] |

2023.05.28 18:27 DirtyLoneVagrant SP/Valguero Wyvern respawn is broken?
Any other maps I've played, to get a wyvern egg, I'd kill off some of the wyverns, grab an egg and in time they would respawn. On this map they respawn immediately, I killed a dozen ice wyverns, I thought it seemed a lot, but they were just respawning and continued to do so, eventually dropping 3 dozen with no end in sight.
I have a base, literally, 20 seconds away from the east side entrance, with safe house and traps and such. So it's not like I'm going so far away that distance is affecting it. Even eggs respawn immediately, more or less, grab an egg, bring it back to wyvern base, store it, fly 20 seconds back and the same nest has a new egg. I farmed until I had a level 175.
6 of 7 eggs came from the exact same nest.
This may seem fun but the problem is there is no way for me to get anything else from or in that trench so long as wyverns non-stop respawn.
Also noticed none of ice wyverns had talons in there inventory, though I don't know if they are supposed to on this map?
Prior to ever going to this trench I had done a dino wipe for other reasons, but I never heard of that affecting respawn rates.
Doing a search prior to posting didn't bring up anyone else having this issue of too many too often?
Ideas?

2023.05.28 18:26 mrgud69 31 [M4F] Slidell, LA. A bite and a boat ride?
I’m in Slidell visiting some friends and family. We are likely going to go out on my cousins boat a bit later and ride somewhere for dinner. I figured, why not see what the good people of Reddit are doing? Very low key and no expectations! Just someone to tag along so I’m not a complete third wheel, or third motor (boat puns are hard). If you have been in the Slidell area for a while we likely have mutual friends so let’s become friends!
I love the Saints and Pelicans so much that I started a media brand surrounding them/the sports of New Orleans/the world. I enjoy music of nearly any taste. I can pretty much talk about anything and sometimes I probably talk too much but it helps break the ice! I’m single with no kids so you don’t have to worry about someone waiting for us back on the dock 😂

2023.05.28 18:21 eatapeach18 Unpopular Opinion: Kids shouldn’t be allowed in Sephora unsupervised.
Is this actually an unpopular opinion though? 😅 But anyway, yeah, I said what I said.
I just wrote my first 1-star review for a Sephora, and sadly it happens to be for the one in my neighborhood. All because of how filthy and chaotic it is. All the compact testers are cracked, any liquid or cream or gloss product is leaking/oozing, everything is sticky and smeared on the displays. And that’s if the testers haven’t been stolen by the 16 and under crew that gets dropped off by their entitled parents.
The products that are for sale are covered in makeup fingerprints from kids sticking their fingers in the testers and then putting their nasty grubby hands all over the stuff on the shelves. No, I will not pay $68+tax for a Westman Atelier foundation that looks like it was taken out of the box at some point and has a mysterious oily substance on it.
It really sucks because I live in a pretty affluent posh area, and this particular Sephora is in a really high-end shopping plaza (complete with a William Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Lulu Lemon, Blue Mercury, etc etc) so like, you go there for the luxury shopping experience and you walk in to a hot mess and a bunch of 14yo teeny boppers trashing the place. The SAH soccer moms drop off their daughters at Sephora, while they go to Starbucks and then leisurely shop in peace at Anthropologie, and maybe go buy a new chandelier from Restoration Hardware.
My review was basically a plea for management to deep clean their store and not allow kids to come inside unless accompanied by an adult. It seems like they reply to all their reviews, so I’m curious to see how they respond 👀 I noticed that this is also a huge problem at Ulta as well, with a bunch of tweens coming in, opening up merchandise and stealing testers (looking at you, Drunk Elephant Smoothies and Bronzing Drops…)
When did Sephora become a substitute babysitter?? So many entitled, absent parents… watch your own damn kids!!

2023.05.28 18:21 AlyIsRandom My partner helped me fulfil a dream of mine and I couldn't be happier.
Idk I just wanna type this out because I've been saying how much I appreciate it to him like a lot and I'm worried he's gonna get tired of it lol. This will be pretty short probably but when I was roughly 12 my mother ended up getting rid of my old console, being a ps2 and the games for it while I was away at a friend's place for the weekend, it devastated me as a kid to the point I cried quite a bit and honestly held a bit of a grudge for a while, not sure how long though. Ever since then its been my dream to get another PS2 and all of my old games from my childhood, I had that PS2 since I was about 4 i believe and was given those games as gifts and hand downs from siblings in the later years who bought a PS3. After so so many years I got a new one about 3 weeks ago and I'm still riding off that hype and excitement. My partner ended up finding one in a retro game store about 45 min from where I live while going out with family for the day and immediately messaged me about it, he promised me we'd go by the end of the week after uni to buy it and we did. Ive collected a bunch of games including two of my favourite games from my childhood and I've just been so overjoyed, just the knowledge that I have them in such a short distance that I can revisit whenever is just. There are no words. I love him with all my heart and I can never thank him enough.

2023.05.28 18:15 skaji Premiere freezes on project load, help!
Hello everyone!
We're having serious problems with Premiere right now. We (2-3 editors) are working on a 70 minute motion picture for film school. In this project is all the footage from set + all the linked audio, as well as some additional footage. That means we have around ~3TB of data tied up in the project, throughout a lot of sequences (were already using proxies, raw data is around 10TB).
In the last week a problem has arisen that befell one computer after another. Whenever we try to open the project, it all goes relatively well, project loads, footage loads, fonts, effects etc until we try to actuallly DO anything (move the playhead, open a sequence, play/pause etc.) at which point the program will 100% freeze up until we force quit it via taskmanager.
That means, that we effectively cant work anymore. This problem has independently started occurring on 3 machines (all Windows 10). The project works fine if you re-import without linking any media, so it shouldn't be corrupt.
I have tried everything i could think and find of online and really am getting a little desperate here.
We tried: Importing into new project, clearing cache, turning on/off CUDA-acceleration, re-installing graphic drivers, turning on/off peak data creation, updating C++ libraries, resetting preferences, reinstalling premiere. I doubt it's some windows problem as it has been happening on 3 completely different machines.
The only thing that still seems like a weak spot to me, is the external hard drives the footage is stored on. It's 3 5400RPM HDD's that we got from our university with 10TB of storage each. Could it be, that they somehow fail on us? It would be a little weird, considering we have worked months with the same HDD's without running into any problems.
Any help will be appreciated, thank you!

2023.05.28 18:15 Humble_Novice Charlie Kirk's TPUSA Teamed Up With a Registered Sex Offender
Article:
Here Turning Point USA CEO Charlie Kirk is cheerleading the far-right boycott of Target over the retailer’s Pride collection — which included trans-friendly youth apparel and other LGBTQ-positive gear — for what Kirk decries as “their support for grooming kids.” Kirk’s condemnation of the retailer coincided with TPUSA’s second-annual Pastors Summit in Nashville, Tennessee, this past week, where Kirk also denounced Target, telling a crowd of hundreds of religious leaders: “If you love God, you must hate evil.” Yet in delivering these fevered messages about morality and child welfare, Kirk had an odd benefactor, a man whose criminal history opens up TPUSA to charges of hypocrisy. Rolling Stone has learned that one of the TPUSA summit’s corporate sponsors is a Christian fashion company that is led by a registered sex offender, Shawn Bergstrand, who served time in federal prison for attempted “coercion and enticement” after trying to persuade “a minor female” to “engage in sexual activity.” In a statement to Rolling Stone, TPUSA spokesman Andrew Kolvet said that TPUSA Faith “was not aware of this incident” but emphasized that, as an “exhibit sponsor,” Bergstrand was not a speaker, organizer, or “professing doctrine from the stage.” “One of the core tenets of the Christian faith is forgiveness rooted in repentance. After discussing the issue with him, we believe [it] was critical to bringing him to faith,” Kolvet added. “He doesn’t hide from what happened, he instead posts his testimony online on his company website. TPUSA Faith will not toss away a repentant, decent person because of a mistake that happened over a decade before, or because a leftwing outlet wants to write a hit piece on the amazing work our team is doing.” Kolvet included a reference to Colossians 3:13, a Bible verse that reads, in part, “Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” In today’s conservative movement, nothing animates activists like the supposed liberal indoctrination of children. The religious right, in particular, espouses unhinged rhetoric about how youth are being “groomed” into trans- and LGBTQ ideology by Luciferian leftists. Riding this wave of populist anger, Kirk and TPUSA have made a hard pivot from the organization’s stated aim, of preaching free-market economics to students, to embrace the cause of Christian nationalism, and marshaling church leaders to the frontlines of GOP politics. At the Pastors Summit, Kirk responded to Rolling Stone’s coverage of his group’s new crusade. “First of all, it’s not my Turning Point,” Kirk insisted of his organization. “It’s the Lord’s Turning Point.” He added: “I am both a Christian and a nationalist, but most importantly, I’m a Christian.” One of the sponsors for this summit — alongside firms like Patriot Mobile and American Christian Credit Union — is Rightside Up, a Christian “lifestyle apparel” company that sews tags reading “BSITL” (“Be Strong in the Lord”) into its t-shirts and other clothing. The company’s website declares: “We all have a life story, and it doesn’t matter where we’ve been. It’s where we are going that counts!” The company’s CEO, Bergstrand, has a prison conviction in his life story. He’s a registered sex offender in North Dakota, a designation the state’s registry indicates will remain active until 2030. Bergstrand was convicted in 2014 for attempted “coercion and enticement.” The details of the criminal complaint are sealed, but a redacted indictment shows that Bergstrand was originally charged with attempting to “entice and coerce a minor female … to engage in prostitution and sexual activity.” (A contemporaneous news report on Bergstrand’s arrest includes other, disturbing allegations that do not appear in the federal court record.) Bergstrand quickly reached a plea deal that removed mention of prostitution. The criminal “information” in Bergstrand’s guilty plea states that in June and July of 2013 he “did knowingly attempt to persuade, induce, entice and coerce a minor female” to “engage in sexual activity.” Bergstrand did not respond to requests for comment, but his address on North Dakota’s sex offender registry matches the registration address for Bergstrand and Rightside Up in a corporate registry maintained by North Dakota’s secretary of state. Bergtrand’s photo on the offender registry also matches video of the apparel CEO from RightsideUp’s website. Despite facing a maximum of 20 years in jail, Bergstrand received a sentence of one year in prison, and five years of supervised release. He was discharged from supervision more than a year early in 2018. In promotional videos for Rightside Up, Berstrand speaks, obliquely, of his life struggles. “At one time in my life, I lost absolutely completely everything,” he says. But he touts the apparel company as his way to get right with Jesus. “God gives us second chances, third chances, fourth chances,” he says. “It’s up to us what we’re going to do with it.” Bergstrand’s association with TPUSA was brought to Rolling Stone’s attention by Matthew Boedy, a professor at the University of North Georgia who has also written about TPUSA’s odd leap from economic to religious dogma. “I’m all for second chances and paying your debt to society. Even perhaps creating a brand based on how you overcame your own terrible decisions,” Boedy says, referring to Bergstrand. “But for Turning Point and Charlie Kirk to highlight this particular person — whose crime involved a child and attempted sexual acts — while decrying ‘groomers’ and sending mobs to stores who sell products they don’t like, is beyond hypocritical.” “It’s even more outrageous that this business was promoted to a group of pastors who likely had no idea of this person’s story,” he adds. “I can only hope Kirk practices what he preaches and takes responsibility.” On Saturday night, Kirk responded to Rolling Stone‘s report, writing that he wanted to “set the record straight” in a post on Twitter, and added that he had never met Bergstrand. “I’m told from the team that coordinates exhibitors that he’s a nice person who did something wrong over a decade ago, and unlike Target, he repented and the experience led him to his faith. Good for him. That’s the Gospel,” Kirk wrote in part. submitted by

I have also seen these in Shopee, but the seller is not that well-known:
Asrock B650 PRO RS
Asrock B650 Livemixer
I'm planning to set up the mobo with an R5 7600 and a 2x16gb GSKILL Trident Z5 Neo 6000mhz RAM kit. Any and all suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance!
