Homes for sale in canyon tx

I used to live in my car for 5+ years. For the past year or so I have had a room I am renting... and there have been several issues with neighbors and parking and the area I live in.
​
I am renting a room in a house for about $500 a month. The neighborhood is pretty low class and mainly black community.... The neighborhood is "bad". You can visible see people driving in circles or trying to sell drugs (Don't see it but hear people talk about it), and literally SEE prostitutes walking from car to car....
​
I mainly stay in my room or go out for work or groceries and stay inside beside that.... So I usually don't have issues.
​
So today I had an issue with 5 people...here is what happened.
​
I was at a grocery close to home. A woman was berating and yelling at her kids. (That crazy stuff like "shut up' and " I'm gonna beat the sh** out of you"). Now I couldn't even hear the kid talk. So I spoke up (Because the watch, listen, and take a video for youtube approach is what is wrong with the world). I told her she shouldn't yell at her kids. if you you are going to yell at, abuse, mistreat, and treat a child like they are a burden when they depend on you, YOU are the problem. Anyways she and hr friend started yelling and saying it's non of my business - which it is my business because you are in a public place acting like you want to assault your own child - and then they woman says she is gonna beat me up if I don't shut up so I take out my phone and record her. Basically a lot of yelling until the employees get them away from me.
​
NEXT in the parking lot some random guy in a black car shouts "Suck my d***" and makes a hand motion and drives off... Don't know what that is about...
​
NEXT I get home and park my car. I park a few houses - like 6 or 7 because there is construction going on near my house making it so I can't park there -
​
Another 2 different women this time. One drives up and asks me why I was parking there and why I always park there and I tell her. She say NO and acts like I am lying because I have parked there for like a month or 2. I haven't parked in front of that house specifically but I have parked in front of other houses and that house again because the construction people keep their stuff out and only work like once a week and never seem to get done... So when they start getting in my face (I don't know why people like to get in people's faces and yell). I take out my phone and record.... They continue and say thing that would seem to insinuate that they might do something to me or my car. They say they will call the police. I wait a bit until they are just sitting on their car and then I end the recording and call the police. make it brief and ask them to tell these people I can park wherever I want. Police comes and tells them I can park there.
​
NOW ALL OF THIS WITHIN A 2 HOUR TIME FRAME in ONE DAY....
​
Now I have had issues before but nothing like this. I have had some guy following my car and then when I stop and start following him he stops and tells me he thought I was suspicious and not to drive around here because "sh** be going down".... I also called the police and reported that after recording it for like 5 minutes but they didn't fight so I called police and reported that something could be happening there.
​
Now aside from that there hasn't been much. One time a few people were arguing loudly like they wanted to fight each other... and like I said you hear people ask if you want drugs or see prostitutes walking around....
​
But this is the first time so much has happened in one day...
​
... I have been thinking a long time about moving out and just living in my car... which is actually safer because you can park in more well established areas...
​
What do you suppose I should do?

Hopefully this is the correct place to post this. For about half of last year I started selling scripts and other open source software online through the GitHub sponsors program. They are various programs and pieces of software. GitHub sponsors has been good so far but it has quite a bit of limitations so I'm going to start selling straight through a website I've created. I'll be using Stripe as my payment solution and I know they will send me a 1099 at the end of the year, but I'm wondering what all I need to do as far as taxes are concerned. I know stripe has a feature to collect sales tax but ever after googleing and looking at the various FAQs I'm still lost at what I need to do.
​
For what it's worth, I'm based in Alabama but of course I'll be selling online so my customers will be pretty much all over the world. To give a range of what kind of money I'm talking about, I made about 6k last year from GitHub sponsors and I'm hoping to increase that this year but I doubt it'll be more than 10k.
Does any one have any kind of experience with this? I really have no idea where to start here.

Have made a couple of posts on here regarding AC and I am stuck on which to buy.
I currently play F12021 and unfortunately it is impossible to find competitive games in multiplayer. I thought about buying AC but found out there is no ranked mode to get a driver class which I hear ACC has.
I have been thinking about buying one or the other but not sure which to buy. AC has gone on sale for $15 on Playstation while ACC is still $40. Is it worth it to just buy AC and play in the regular lobbies? I feel like $15 is hard to beat.

Just got back from the gym after after another night of disappointment and frustration. I've had a shoulder injury for years now. First trying to figure it out myself, then physiotherapy, then surgery, recovery and more physiotherapy, treatment not working so once again different physiotherapy and making some progress at least. It's been 4-5 years since I started trying to fix this problem and I still can't do many basic exercises and the ones I can do I can't push myself in or often can't focus on the training due to the shoulder. Thinking of going to the gym is frustrating, I'm not looking forward to it nowdays, and usually when I get home from gym I'm in a worse mood than before exercising. Quitting isn't an option either because: a: all the hours and money I poured into this over the years would have gone to waste b. I would be insanely bitter having to quit something that can be so fulfilling and rewarding for this reason c.. I have some issues I have related to my body where going to the gym and building my physique would be the only or at least the most effective way of addressing them, like pectus excavatum(sunken chest/an indentation in the chest that makes you look a lot skinniewimpier and often causes body image issues and insecurity in ones physique)
So as far as I can see there really isn't any other solution than to keep going and hope things get better, it's just something I am very upset and bitter about in general, but especially when I see other people making quick progress or having a good time at the gym. (I know that everyone has their struggles and most of them much bigger than this, but I just can't help feeling very disheartened and bitter about this).
Just wanted to vent I guess and hear if anyone has any suggestions on how to deal with an issue like this or process it better

To preface this story, I live in Philadelphia...very close to an extremely queer friendly section of the city. That being said, I have a lot of queer friends in the drag community...the type of drag artists who love gender fuck acts and looks. And I'm close with a large troupe of bearded drag artists...one night I was hanging out after a show speaking to one of my friends who had just finished their act and just kind of mindlessly mentioned that I wish I could pull looks like that off. They had smiled at me and said "Who says you can't, lemme do your make-up and put you in a dress next weekend." I shrugged and agreed, not really expecting anything. The weekend came....I had them meet me at my house and they set up their make up kit. They started putting all this product on my face....gluing down my oh so bushy eye brows. Brushes were dragging all over my face. Phrases like "close your eyes" and "look up" and "I'm gonna need a lot of concealer to cover these eyebags" were being thrown around. There was no mirror for me to look in and they wouldn't let me look until they were finished and I was dressed. Well my face was done and getting dressed started. They gave me a bra to put on with some socks full of rice to put in it, black tights, a lacy black knee length dress and some very nice pleather black motorcycle heel boots. The whole fit was finally finished and we go to the full length mirror on the back of my door. They stand in front of it, blocking my view as they seem ever so proud in what they had created. Then they moved....and I saw myself...bearded...in a full face of makeup...in a fem outfit. Up until this point I was identifying as a pan cis man who very frequently questioned their gender...but not really thinking anything of it. But then I saw myself....fem...but also masculine. I felt somewhere between genders...exactly where I wanted to be. I beamed...this felt like home. Not quite a man...but not quite a woman....you could practically hear the shell cracking in the room. I tried to hold back my tears because frankly, we were going out and I didn't want my mascara to run...I turned to my friend and said something along the lines of...."H-How do you know if you're non-binary?" We ended up talking for hours and before we knew it the club was closed, the show was over, and we had been through an entire bottle of cheap wine. That night I finally felt comfortable enough to label myself an Enby....and I've never looked back since.

In Massachusetts.
My girlfriend's lease is up at the end of August. Today, she let her property management company know that she would not be renewing her lease and within 30 minutes they responded that they were going to list the property immediately and begin showings any time between 9AM and 8PM with one hour notice.
She works from home and under an NDA where she's not supposed to be working around other people within earshot. Her apartment isn't that huge so everywhere is within earshot of her office. Obviously having strangers entering her apartment while she's working is against what she's supposed to do for her work, plus a one hour warning leaves so little time to prepare.
Message from her property management company:
"
Please also note that real-estate agents will be accompanying their client/s during each tour. Per clause #20 of the signed lease addendum agreement, " 20. Tenants agree to allow the Lessor or its designated representative entry to the apartment between 9AM and 8PM for any valid purpose (ie: to show the apartment to prospective tenants or buyers, periodic inspections, maintenance and repairs) with one hour notice and/or without tenants being present." Not allowing showings violates your lease agreement and our team must report this to the owner of your unit.
"
Is there any way for her to get around this? Ideally she would be able to have people only come after business hours or at least in the afternoon when she doesn't have as many meetings. Thank you.

Multiple moving parts so bare with me. So me 41m and spouse 37f have been together for 10+ years and have a child together. We both were in poly/ enm/ open relationships before we started dating/ seeing each other however we had no other partners at the time. As we dated the relationship was leaning towards monogamous ,however we never said one way or the other. That is until about 2 years ago we talked and opened our relationship. We've both have had people we've talked to and been interested in but things never really developed between them. So this past summer my spouse tells me that's she's caught the feels for one of her online gaming friends. Which led to a long distance relationship and some verrry verry late night gaming, chatting and texting. As well as text and chatting all though out the day. And yes I understand new relationship energy, but I started to feel like I was being put on the burner. At which point I voiced this and we set specific gaming and just us nights. Things got better until they didn't. About 3 months ago spouses lrd broke up with her, she was upset, heartbroken and sad which I've tried my best to be there for her. My spouse has said she still has feelings for him and consider him a best friend and they still talk chat and game together like that before the breakup. Which leads to now. I want to be clear and preface this with my body my choice however I do take my spouse's opinion into this as it affects her as well. My spouse and I had talked extensively since our kid was born about me getting a vasectomy because birth control for her isn't really an option for her. As well as taking in many other factor we both agreed that having it done was the right thing to do. However as the appointment drew closer we both have gotten more emotional about it. Now one of the reasons she has told me she's emotional about it is because of ex-lrd telling her that he may want kids not necessarily with her and that me having it done would be the last chance of her being able to have another kid, which hurts to hear. However we both still agree that it's the right thing to do. Which leads us now to the last very emotional days couple of days. So 2 days ago, day before the procedure I just wanted some emotional support but it was a very late night gaming and chatting with ex-lrd. Morning of procedure still wanting emotional support am told that ex-lrd is going to try and keep her distracted while I am in for the procedure, still distracted when I get home. Now is next day and still being distracted. So I sit here in pain both physically and emotionally just wanting something and not sure what to do?

We've received a lot of queries in the last 2 weeks regarding the 450X EPOS mower and its feasibility for their property. This is very exciting and we are glad that those who reached out, took the time to do so. While we want to sell as many mowers as possible, we also want our customers to have the best possible experience. Keeping this in mind, we had to remind some folks that EPOS is not the right solution for them. At the same time, we were glad to close some sales with folks whose homes were perfect for EPOS and we already helped a few customers set up their EPOS machines which are running well .
Just keep in mind that the EPOS system requires 3 things to work reliably -1) Unimpeded view of sky to the reference station 2) Reasonable line of sight/vicinity between reference station and mower and finally , 3) Unimpeded view of the sky at the mower. It is very easy to meet the requirements #1 and #2. The challenge is meeting #3 all the time - This could be due to heavy tree foliage, close to a metal structure or building, or just poor satellite coverage based on which part of the world you are in (the further north, the lesser satellites are visible).
EPOS mowers work flawlessly if they are installed correctly, and at the properties that are compatible. We have bunch of EPOS 550 and 450s running and they are one of the best performing mower sets we have mainly because of the flexibility they bring. The systematic mowing on the EPOS machines has only made them the best in class. So please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you need a free evaluation of your property 0 [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).
Also as a reminder - When you purchase the EPOS mowers from us, you get free installation support from us and we double /triple check the mower before sending it out to you - Like this video summarizes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87_pYGNKB0E

I am in England. I am very worried about council tax payments. I was in living in shared accommodation but came home before finishing my masters course (Still unfinished). I am normally the one that sorts out my mum's bills because of her limited understanding of English so I feel extremely worried as the repercussions would be my fault.
I am frequently alternating between my mum, sister's house and travelling abroad (1 month + 2 weeks of travelling). It's been about 4 months now. Would this count as living with eitheboth of them? I intend to go to the citizens advice bureau/council to ask for advice on how to approach the situation, tomorrow.
Will the council fine her for not telling them that I moved in earlier?
I would appreciate if answers were based on experience and not hypothetical situations, please.

I was staying at my boyfriend's a couple of nights ago, and I needed to finish something school related but had forgotten my laptop at home. My boyfriend gave me permission to use his iPad. When I logged into the iPad, his pictures were pulled up, and I noticed that he had multiple photo albums dedicated to his ex-girlfriend. He was in the other room, so I clicked on one out of curiosity (I know this wasn't right and I'm willing to admit this if I talk to my boyfriend about it, but I was curious). None of the pictures were explicit (which is good), but many of them were selfies of her, pictures of her in different outfits, etc.
We've been dating for two years and there haven't been any indications to me that he's not fully committed to our relationship. He has actually never even talked about his previous relationship with his ex-girlfriend to me at all. But now that I've seen he's keeping these pictures, I'm wondering if it's possible he's not over her? I totally understand keeping some photos of an ex-partner but he had 5+ photo albums filled with hundreds of selfies, etc. of her. Also, notably, these albums were at the top of his pictures home screen, which means every time he opens his pictures he sees her face. Should this be cause for concern?

Have any of you ever left a position because you think that it is in the best interests of the child, even if it's a decent fit for you?
I am thinking of firing myself because I work with a multi-lingual child(2). The parents were made aware of the languages I spoke during the interview process and that their language of origin wasn't one of them.
Since being hired, I have learned about 150 words of their LOO and few sentences. I do my very best to exist and "teach" in both. And it has been a joy, as I love communicating, especially with this little one.
However, I notice a HUGE jump in the little ones frustration levels when trying to share something with me in my alternate language and her parents not being there emmediately (even though they work from home) to translate.
Given the age and the importance of this stage for verbal development, I feel like the right thing to do would be to give them notice and suggest they find someone who spoke both languages fluently?
Any input would be appreciated.

Carpool/Concert Buddy to Show in Denver
Hey there Musers. I don't really know what would be a better way to do this, but I'm looking to go to the Denver show on April 4th and I live in Colorado Springs about 1.5 hours from venue. My name is Jules and im 27. I've been a Muse fan for well over a decade. I'm hoping to find someone from the Springs going to the show that maybe I could carpool with, at the very least after the show. I don't drive due to personal reasons and as I could most certainly take public transport to get up to the venue during the day, I will not have a ride back after the show because the public transport doesn't run that late back down to the Springs. I've posted in a few different Muse groups about this but haven't gotten any bites. I'm willing to give $50 for gas, I will sing any and all Muse songs with you, and be an all around great concert or post-concert ride home buddy. In addition, I do crochet in my free time. I'm happy to make you something custom if you'd like.
If you are attending the show and coming from the Springs or from the southern part of Colorado going to pass through Colorado Springs to get to the show and can help me out with a ride home, feel free to message me. Also if you have a better idea on how to go about carpooling home from the show, feel free to comment below!

My landlord put in the lease that he only has to give me seven days notice for me to vacate, is this legal? If it matters, I am renting a room in his home not the entire home. From what I found online is 30 days unless it’s for nonpayment of rent in which case it is seven days.

TL;DR: I can’t seem to give in to the regular “full time” routine and would like to know if anyone has been in the same boat as me.
I’ve always seemed to stray away from the typical “full time” thing that everyone is supposed to do in a typical society. I used to skip school a lot because I just couldn’t seem to handle the repetitive, mundane schedule of waking up early everyday doing your work and coming home, and having two days off. Since I became an adult I think I’ve held a job the longest for about 5 months, and that is my threshold. Everything in my body and mind feels so uncomfortable after a certain amount of time working for that long at the same place doing the same thing. I’ve been doing odd end jobs such as uber, contract work and working for my brother for a bit. But even those burn me the hell out after I do them for a while. It even happens with my hobbies, like making music and drawing; couldn’t be consistent with either enough for them to be useful. The only hobby I have been consistent with my whole life is playing video games which I really enjoy, I don’t just play them to escape reality. I also have pretty bad ADHD which could be a factor. Basically I was just wondering if anyone has been in the same position as me and has any advice as to what I can do to sort of fall into the normal routine, or do something different that can stabilize me financially. thanks guys

What do you suppose I should do?

Building a new PC, and comparing it to one that I’ve used recently. Use would be home computer, meaning Plex server, light gaming (emulation or 1080p for something like GTAV).
Compared to something like this, https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-rog-gaming-desktop-intel-core-i5-11400f-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1660-ti-512gb-ssd/6501551.p?skuId=6501551&ref=app_ios&loc=pdpShare
How would the build below perform? Any parts I should consider swapping out?

One element from the plot I find worth considering is Kris and Noelle's childhood friendship. It is explicitly said that this is not the case for Berdly and Susie so I think it could become important in the next chapters, and there's a single event in Noelle's childhood which seems to be relevant for the plot and that is her sister Dess's disappearance. Could it be that Kris has something to do with it? In this theory I'll try to explore this hypothesis.
We know two things about Kris which are unexplainable to us by now: first, they already have a save file before we can save on our own (and I'll assume it means they have been in the Dark World before, just because I can't find strong evidence for which it would be possible to save in the Light World by now); and second, they know exactly how to deal with someone else's soul inside their body controlling them. The evidence for this is the cage in Kris's room, which seems to have been frequently used to lock a soul already. If there's an actual link between Kris and Dess's disappearance I think it's reasonable to think it has to do with these two events. And what better place than the Dark World to completely disappear from everyone's lifes after all? In the simplest form the theory would go like this: Kris and Dess go into the Dark World, Dess disappears, Kris saves and then is taken control of by someone using a soul to do that. At this point Kris could have experienced a lot, and maybe they did some terrible things, until they understood how to deal with an external soul inside them, reset to avoid being controlled in the first place and then escaped from the Dark World as soon as possible and went on with their life. This sequence of events is extremely important: Kris must've saved after Dess's disappearance, because otherwise they would have saved her; and the control by that someone must have come after the save because well, Kris's name is there. Who controlled them did the terrible mistake of not saving again, giving Kris a way to avoid that control as soon as they had just a moment of indipendence (and there are many under our control in Deltarune). Another evidence for Dess being in the Dark World is Noelle feeling nostalgic about the white ribbon in chapter 2.
So now the question is: who caused all of that and why? It seems to be accepted for various reasons (like the way he speaks) by the community that the character making us create our avatar at the beginning of the game and giving us a soul to control Kris is Gaster. After all, Gaster is able to establish a connection with us and to generate a soul from that, and we know that in Undertale he studied how space and time work (and this gave him at least a basic understanding of timelines) and that Alphys, in the same lab, studied souls. It's reasonable to assume that in Deltarune he is a scientist still studying these two topics (which could be connected?) based on those few actions we know about. So it makes sense that his knowledge of space and time made him able to reach the Dark World, and it makes sense that as he generates a soul in order to control Kris in Deltarune he did the exact same thing in the past. The creation of the vessel could just be a way to verify that we, the player, have an actual consciousness and are able to guide Kris. Why doing all of that? We really can't say because we know nothing about what he truly wants, but being a scientist he could've just wanted to do so as an experiment to better understand how souls work. There is very little knowledge about that in Deltarune, only given by a book in the Librarby. And why Kris? We know almost nothing about their backstory (like why are they with the Dreemurs?) and it's hard to give an answer. We'll come back on that later, but as for now we can just assume that it was because of their antisocial nature, who made them easy to isolate and control.
And talking about isolation, clearly Gaster couldn't have done an experiment like that on a literal child who couldn't stay far from home for a long time. So kidnapping them would've been necessary, and what a better place than the Dark World (which we already assumed Gaster had access to) to do so? But the only moments where Kris wasn't under control were while they were hanging out with Asriel, Noelle and Dess, and it was Dess who accidentally fell in the Dark World with Kris. Now we have an hypothesis for why she disappeared: Gaster kidnapped her because she could've revealed what was going on to others (Kris alone wouldn't have been believed, like we can observe in the dialogues with Undyine). We already said what happens later.
And as we already said, what we actually see happening in Deltarune is Gaster trying the experiment again: this time he has to take account of Kris's ability to save, and the soul will be put inside them during the night. There's also the need to keep them in the Dark World so that they can't escape from it and get rid of the soul. I think that this necessity can answer the question "who's Ralsei?" Every action Ralsei does seems to condescend Kris's will. Their pacifist nature coincides with Kris's, when Kris tries to flirt with him he blushes and he appreciates Kris's hugs. When he's happy to be called a lackey and is surprised when he's called something else I think it's pretty clear he knows what his role is and is happy finding out he's doing his job well. The fact he makes rooms for Kris and Susie also matches his will to keep them in the Dark World, and the fact that they move the player's perspective through dialogues and that they want Kris to ignore what Spamton NEO said to them shows he is conscious of what's happening and he wants it to happen. Not to mention his look and his ability to travel in every Dark World would now have an explanation. Maybe Ralsei doesn't even know why he's doing what he's doing and that can be a way to develop his character in an interesting way when he finds out. Actually, if I'm right Ralsei wouldn't have a soul (otherwise Gaster would've just counducted his experiments on him) and that is coherent with how he acts. He's just a souless puppet, and that also implies that the Kralsei ship can't (fortunately!) be canon. Sure, you could point out that Gaster doesn't react if you put Ralsei's name during the creation of the vessel, but he doesn't react to Jevil either and we know he knows him too.
There's more to say about Gaster now. It's probable he is in the Dark World because this is where he kidnapped Dess and kept her. We know he's been there because of Jevil's backstory after all. Clearly to make Kris enter the Dark World he needed to create a fountain (and we know he can do so in the Dark World because Berdly tries to do it and Ralsei stops him while looking alarmed), so one could think he's the Knight because of that. But I don't actually think that is the case. Before we finish chapter 1 if we manipulate our save files there's Gaster commenting what we do. As soon as we finish it, he disappears from there. When we lose in chapter 1 he makes us come back, while in chapter 2 we have an actual game over screen and it's us who load the save file. If we start chapter 2 having no saves from chapter 1 we have three save files with Kris's name on them, and as soon as we choose one the other two disappears. Like they were prepared by Gaster just so that one of them could have been used by us. The data in those save files (the vessel is created according to Kris's preferences and when they come back in the Light World they go directly to home without talking to anyone, coherently with their antisocial nature) and the phrase "since chapter 1" in the menu if we start from chapter 1 seem to suggest that we don't actually need to control Kris from the beginning of their adventure, but can start later. I find all of this to be evidence that after chapter 1 Gaster was knocked out, presumably by Dess as she was kept near to him. Gaster disappears before the very beginning of chapter 2 (maybe during the night) because when we start from one of the three Kris save files he already isn't there. But the fountain gets opened after the chapter began (in the end we see that Noelle and Berdly started studying because the books are already open, so the fountain was opened when they were already inside the lab). Could it be that as Dess understood that Kris was exploring Dark World she wanted to open another fountain so that they could save her? That would make Dess the Knight. The Queen uses "they" refering to the Knight, so we don't know their gender and that opens up to the possibility of a female Knight. Maybe the fountain in chapter 1 was opened by her too because Gaster made her do so: opening the fountain and putting our soul inside Kris are two indipendent processes, and we know that because we can take control of Kris after chapter 1. So the two could have managed to do the two things on their own. Or maybe the first fountain was opened by Gaster and the second one by Dess, I don't think that's that relevant actually. The King and the Queen would have seen two different Knights and could find out that is the case just talking. Maybe we'll found out that way. What I think is more interesting is the fact that now we'd know the reason Kris had to open a fountain at the end of chapter 2: as soon as they hear that every Lightner with enough determination can open a fountain and that Noelle is a candidate to do so they understand it's Dess who's doing it to seek help, and they want to help her. They find it to be worthy risking the Roaring, and it makes sense both in Normal and Weird route, contrary to the "they just want to have adventures with their friends" hypothesis. In the game script there's also a line checking if the name of the character being controlled has more or less than seven letters. December seems to be the only option between the various character of the game that we could be able to move in a certain part of the game. I find appealing the idea of controlling a character searching for a way to get home after years of being kidnapped, and it would make sense that Gaster uses our soul to control her to avoid that she gets home and reveals everything about what happened. The ultimate thing to notice about Dess being the Knight is the amount of connections between the Holiday family and the Angel, which I won't repeat here. As the Roaring Knight causes the Angel's Heaven (whetever that is) to appear this connection also fits in the theory, even if we don't know what exactly the Angel is. When Spamton talks about the Knight he literally says "communion" by the way.
I now want to analyze the third identity theory to see how it fits with what I said, and I have to say I stand with Andrew Cunningham's position (go check his video, it's great) on that. The idea of Kris doing weird stuff at the end of the first two chapters 'cause he's being controlled by someone else totally annihilates what makes Deltarune's plot interesting, Kris's will against ours. In this theory I gave alternative explanations for those actions and it doesn't need to be included. Yeah, maybe there are three save files because Kris has gotten three total souls inside them in their life but what's actually important is that Gaster knows about the saves and comments our actions on them, so I would rather think it's just that he wants to collect more data on more than one timeline to do so (and we as player use different saves for different kind of routes, don't we?). Also, using the principle that a certain theory is wrong because if it was true that would make the plot less interesting we can say that a character being controlled by the player and suffering 'cause of this trauma while they slowly realize it is less interesting than having a character that knows how to act when this happens and uses knowledge we don't have to achieve what they want despite the situation.
Actually, when I said that the three save files could match the souls Kris has gotten inside them I assumed Kris has a soul of their own, but that's something we should discuss. It's strange because when they remove our soul (I doubt it's just their soul and we are controlling it because Gaster explicitly says it's ours) they move with more fatigue, something that didn't happen with Flowey. Not having a soul isn't necessarily a reason to be fatigued, there's something about Kris's specific situation that causes it. We can hypothesize they were created by Gaster as vessels for his future experiments, but have they always moved like zombies? I don't think that is the case. So our soul still changed something inside Kris even when it's not inside them. If Kris had two souls at the same moment it would be even more strange that they can't move properly. If the two are inside Kris in different moments while would Kris still use our soul after removing it? Maybe the idea that it's just Kris's soul and we control it, despite what Gaster says, it's true. Or maybe Kris just pretends to be fatigued without our souls (after all we know they went in the Dark World in the night between chapter 1 and 2, which is not that relaxing) to trick us. If that was the case we'd still not have elements to understand if they have a soul on their own or not, and in case they did if the two can stay together inside them or they alternate. I don't really have an answer to that question.
And I also don't have an answer (at least, not an exciting one) to the problem of who controls Kris at the time of the first experiment. If Gaster already made connections with other worlds we could suppose this is Chara ("let's leave this world and move to the next one") at the end of the Souless Pacifist, but Chara knows really well how saving works and wouldn't have done such a mistake like not doing it in the Dark World. We could think it's us in a different timeline of our world (because the time would be shifted) when we play chapter 0, but I think chapter 0 is just a placeholder to work better with arrays when coding. Also, we know how to save lol, so there is the exact same problem that we had with Chara. We could suppose that Gaster didn't connect to other worlds and controlled Kris by himself. That would imply a fusion between a monster soul and a human soul happened (if Kris had their own soul of course) and maybe it did a mess that Kris wanted to avoid. But then what sense does it make for the experiments? If that wasn't his goal then what was? Did he choose to use someone else's soul so that Kris wouldn't leave as soon as they fused? I really don't know.
I'd be happy to read what you think about this theory, and maybe you have some answers to these questions. I didn't explain some ideas that I found to be established in the community but if you didn't understand something write it in the comments and I'll try to explain it better. I have to say I find it fascinating that trying to answer a simple question like what's the link between Kris and Dess's disappearance brought us to answer some of the big questions of the game (like who is Ralsei, what is Gaster doing and who is the Knight), but having just 2/7 of the game with us I had to go by a lot of assumptions and I tried to choose the most simple ones. I hope that Gaster's role in the plot won't be just "doing experiments" but maybe thinking like it was can still help us. Thank you for reading!

TL;DR: Future MIL has wishes and expectations of having grandbabies, raising the grandbabies, living with her son, being taken on vacations, and being given financial support that they don't need. This is culturally in line with what can be expected in their home country, but I don't care and plan to reject every single one.
-
My partner (31m) and I (26f) have been together for more than 7 years. I'd like to ask reddit's judgment so I can decide to either stand my ground or reconsider the hills I die on.
For background, partner's parents are immigrants who moved to the US a couple decades ago. They're the typical rags-to-comfort immigrant story. Now they own a house, are healthy, relatively young, still work, have built up a social network of friends locally. These past few years, future MIL has shared her life wishes for the following, all of which belong in the "hell to the no, f**k that" category for me:

• She wants bio babies. - Currently, we are in the childfree camp. She's distraught about this and brings up the topic multiple times.
• She expects to live with us. - She has offered to "gift" us a downpayment under the condition we get a house with a permanent space for them. Also insists she'll move in with us when we get our own place so she can "help" raise the babies. I would be open to living with her only if medically necessary.
• She expects to be taken on extravagant vacations. - She recently learned of our couple's international trip and is demanding to be treated to future out of country vacations because she is getting "old and you don't know how much time we have left together"
• She expects money. - She has asked for money and it is the expectation that we give the parents part of our monthly income, even though they don't need it? Not to mention I have tons of student loans and no savings yet. They ask for our financial info like salary, loans, expenses, etc. I keep everyone on an info diet but my partner does not.

To me, the above sounds sprinkled with guilt trips and feels like MIL wants to be my partner's wife. I myself come from an immigrant family (different country but culturally similar) and so I am VERY familiar with the dynamics and expectations from their home country. It is PRECISELY why these life "goals" of my future MIL were my dealbreakers before I even met her. I have experienced and witnessed enough emotional manipulation, loss of privacy/autonomy, marriage strain, etc. through my own family.
I love my partner and am ok with building boundaries as long as we have each others' backs. As I find myself having similar issues with both sets of parents due to cultural expectations, I am thinking that my approach may be too abrupt (single generation overhaul of their wishes) and maybe I should compromise. For now this is a hill I will die on.
Reddit, would I be the asshole for denying what seems like the culturally normal life wishes of my future MIL?

Hey everyone,
I’m in the midst of acquiring new parts for my first home built gaming PC.
Just acquired a 4TB WD SN850X on sale up here in Canada.
If I understand correctly, when booting up Windows 11 Install, the drive will partition the OS with a recovery and EFI system partition and allocate the rest to something like a C: drive with the remaining space.
At that point my C: Drive should be close to 4Tb worth of storage, but does it make sense to partition it further to create new drives?
The system will be built for media consumption and gaming so is it just fine to install all games and applications to C: drive or should I be making new drives?
Is there any benefit or safety reasons to partition it further?
Sorry if this is a basic question, but I’m just trying to understand the rationale behind having multiple different drives on a single nvme.
Thanks!
