I have always fundamentally believed that putting people down, calling people names, and making people feel ashamed of themselves for actions that are not coming from a negative place is wrong.
The modern world is still dreadfully unkind to so-called 'slutty' women. Now, I'm not saying that there aren't so-called 'slutty' women out there who are indeed manipulative, deceptive, unfaithful, narcissistic -- even psychopathic. There have been studies done on the links between high sociosexuality in women and narcissism. I am not disputing this.
However, for the average woman who simply enjoys sex, why do we punish women and put women down for their sexual needs? Why do we label a woman a 'slut' or a 'whore' simply for having sexual desires?
Obviously, the contemporary liberal Western framing around sexuality is dreadfuly unhealthy. It has stripped sex of all its spiritual significance and turned something that is supposed to be a beautiful bonding experience into something that is meaningless and used vapidly.
However, when a woman genuinely likes a guy and finds him attractive, why is she then viewed as 'low value' or 'trashy' for being sexual with him early on? Why must we put women down for having sexual desires?
And what's even stranger is: why would a man want a woman who deliberates her sexuality as a calculated bargaining tool?
I'm not talking about women who are inexperienced, or insecure, or two people mutually agreeing to take their time before sleeping together. I'm talking about women who deliberately use their sexuality as a weapon, dating a guy for months on end without sex on purpose, knowing full well that he is into her, and using this as a way to manipulate him into a relationship. Women who essentially punish the 'good guys' who would wait and who are genuinely interested in the woman for a relationship. Women who know that they can withold sex for attention because society rewards these women and calls them angels, when they are anything but angelic.
To men, why would you want a woman who is playing games and using her sexuality as a bargaining chip? If a woman is happy to withold her sexuality from you to 'manipulate' you into a relationship, what makes you think she won't continue to do this after you are together? If this is how the tone is set at the start, don't you see how this shall continue long into the relationship?
Maybe the dichotomy should not be 'good girls' and 'sluts.' Maybe the true dichotomy is 'honest women' vs 'dishonest women.'
Would you rather be with a woman who calculates and bargains her sexuality, expects you to bring everything to the table, and essentially frustrates you by witholding her sexuality?
Or, do you want a woman who is honest, sexually open-minded, confident in herself and doesn't play games?
The strangest thing of all is that the first woman is somehow 'high quality' or 'high value', even when she is playing games and being deliberately manipulative, while the latter woman who is honest and openly sexual is 'low value' for being sexual. That being 'easy' somehow makes a woman less worthy of love and commitment.
Let me tell you what a so-called 'easy' woman is.
An 'easy' woman is a woman who doesn't lie to you.
An 'easy' woman is a woman who is secure in herself.
An 'easy' woman is a woman who doesn't play games.
An 'easy' woman is a woman who is confident in herself.
An 'easy' woman is a woman who isn't going to withold sex from you in a relationship or use it as a weapon over you.
An 'easy' woman is a woman who loves sex and isn't afraid of it, and is happy to share that with a man whom she is interested in or attracted to.
There are no 'easy' women. There are simply honest women and dishonest women. And it is far better -- and safer -- to marry the honest 'slut' over the dishonest 'good girl.'
Once again (to make this absolutely clear) I am not saying that all so-called slutty women are actually angels in disguise, or that all women who take their time before sleeping with someone new are being deliberately manipulative.
I am simply saying that for men, valuing honesty over dishonesty is going to save you a lot more time and headache than thinking about whether a woman is 'easy' vs 'non-easy.'
We shouldn't be putting women down for their sexual needs. We shouldn't be calling women 'sluts/whores/hoes/skanks' simply for being sexual. I'm not even talking about promiscuity or licentiousness here. I'm talking about women who simply have sexual needs and value a physical connection early on with the men whom they wish to form relationships with. Women who don't play games. Women who openly love sex and believe that a physical connection matters for a relationship to flourish.
To put a woman down for enjoying sex, for not wanting to play games, and to say she is not worthy of love because she is 'easy' is simply cruel and unfair to women.
We have got to stop punishing people and putting people down for having sexual needs. We must create a model of sex that is honest and compassionate, that treats sex as a bonding experience and a form of intimacy. When we do this, we cancel out 'good' from 'bad' and simply replace it with 'honest' and 'dishonest.'
Is that not much healthier?

I got a new protectli box (FW4B) with OPNSense and coreboot. Connected ONT to WAN, WiFI AP (Asus RTAX58U) to Lan1, logged in and setup PPPoe, saved and applied, and I had internet, with my AP (being in AP mode) at 192.168.1.101
I then changed the IP for Lan1 in OPNSense from 192.168.1.1. to 192.168.50.1 saved and applied (192.168.50.1 was the old address of my AP when it was running as router), and I can no longer access the router in any way, and have no internet. At some point, not sure how, I did manage to connect to the AP, its IP was 192.168.50.1, and noticed the OPNSense box showed up briefly in the clients list, also being 192.168.50.1 (!!).
The box has HDMI ports but connecting to them doesn't give input to the screen.I tried connecting my laptop directly to the protectli box (LAN ports) , and again I get no IP assigned.There is a COM port on the front of the box, but I don't have a cable to connect to currently.
Anyone knows what happened, and what options I have ?

For context: I just learned today about Motivated Reasoning where we dismiss facts and analysis that don't fit our desired conclusion, and only accept those that do. It's both a conscious and an unconscious process, and I haven't found much about making sure we don't fall into that.
I hope I don't get downvoted to oblivion with this one.
But I also have to be honest: I have a little regret not selling a single share in the Sneeze of January 2021, or in March 2021, or last June 2021, or last August 2022.
Whenever I see those huge numbers and I get some shares in the green, I always felt like it's going to keep on growing that way, only to be left deep in the red again once for months. Those peaks get lower and lower.
However, I keep on seeing how right the Cellar Box Basket Theory is, where popcorn, towel, headphones, and GME, all run together.
Another one is when the UBS exec really talked about the Credit Suisse swap, when this sub propositioned that long ago. But how I'm still unclear how those swaps actually connect with closing GME shorts.
Yet, for some reason, I can't help but feel that we missed something. I just want a sanity check, how sure are we that the upvote and downvote mechanism of each individual isn't resulting into a collective dismissal of evidence? How many times have we admitted and/or corrected our DD? How do we know that we are objective in our analysis, and not just twisting our interpretation of the facts towards our desired outcome of MOASS?
Please don't downvote me. I really just want to be sure I have not fallen under the trap of motivated reasoning.

Hi all,
Currently, I am staying in a vacation resort and wanted to keep full access to my home server over VPN (OpenVPN on my OPNsense box).
The resort seems to have a FortiGate firewall, with some aggressive rules: - direct access to my webservices gives a CA error (issuer of certificate is Fortinet instead of Letsencrypt), so far seen on Android and Windows, no idea how this is switched on my personal devices. - Login into Nextcloud app/webUI on an iPad/iphone triggers the FortiGuard Intrusion Prevention of the resorts (blocked due to category: dynamic dns), but not so on Android or Windows. - but what I find deeply disturbing: when connecting to my openVPN server, these issues don't necessarily go away, however it becomes an intermittent issue. Sometime CA is correct, other times it is still switched, also in incognito mode. The i.. devices however dont really show a difference with or without VPN. - sometimes one device triggers the error, and others work at the same time. - using privateinternetaccess in the same openVPN clients always tunnels correctly, but of course is only useful for my public services, not the internal ones.
So far, my vpn server always seemed to have worked when in my home country (allowing access to internal services). But now I am afraid that something may not be configured correctly. Any ideas what could be the issue?

I am wondering if you will be notified when there is a record entered in your Strafregisterauszug.
In many countries, criminal record is a big thing that it very often involves i) a judge to certify you have been convicted and ii) fingerprinting. As you can see, one should be very aware if he has a criminal record in this case.
How about Switzerland? Is it possible to have a record without knowledge? Will the authority notify you (e.g. mail or something)?

My boyfriend (22) may be homeless soon and I have no way of helping.. Suicide seems to be the only solution left to him. It honestly has me thinking if that's the only choice he has as well. He lives in a narcissistic household. His father is addicted to weed and never takes up an opportunity to take up drugs. My boyfriend had received medication recently for his depression and anxiety from living in such an abusive and exhausting household; the father has ended up taking some of his medication, so he can’t even get the help he needs. My boyfriends mother is a housewife; cant do anything nor does she seem to give a fuck at all about her surroundings. His brother has to move out because of some charges, so soon my boyfriend will be responsible for paying for all his parents expenses including their weed addiction and run-down home. He feels as though he is stuck, having to take care of his neglectful parents his whole life. All they’ve done is take advantage of him.
As for the job-situation, the reason why it’s been such an issue for him to find one is because he lives in a small town. His brother’s charges also taint his name, ruining many opportunities at places hiring. On top of that, he had been given a job offer today but his dad is purposely trying to take the job away from him because “he needs it more than him”. There are no other jobs. If he can't pay for his parents finances he will be kicked out. His father seems to get jealous whenever my boyfriend has something he doesn't; the father treats him like shit for things as little as his own mom being nice to him or giving him $20 for his own birthday. He no longer has his own bank account either. His mother took it claiming that all the money will go to her from now on.
We are in different states, I also have no job since I live with my mother while I focus on college. I am unable to help him financially nor is he allowed to stay here.. However, the only goal he has at the moment is to come here even if he becomes homeless because he says that he’d rather be homeless and closer to me than his current situation.
He’s honestly had such bad luck in his life because of his family and the lack of resources, I feel so bad. He has no friends nor family to reach out to. He’s tried to communicate with a couple family members that reached out to help but his mother is denying him any connection to them; he doesn’t even know their names. He doesn’t deserve any of this, just watching everything happen to him from an outsider perspective really shows me how fucked this world can be even when you do no bad.
Today he had attempted to commit suicide with the rest of his medication and he's talking like his life doesn't matter anymore. He's only living for me.
TLDR; My boyfriend has no money and he needs to leave his toxic and narcissistic household as soon as possible. Even if he stays, he may end up homeless soon. It's impossible to find a job where he lives. There are little solutions that him and I can think of, he's on the brink of committing suicide.

Just wondering if there are/were any "high maintenance" cadets out there (basically a bunch of shit that happens to them not on purpose that makes things less convenient for trainers and commanders)? How do you guys get over that Shitty feeling and how did it ever affect ur found/pro term in whatever way? (not me trying to keng...just genuinely feeling like a Shitty person rn)
Try not to ask for specifics since I dont wanna make anyone involved look bad

Background

To understand some concepts I'm going to use, I would invite everyone to listen to this video. It's a reading of "Feeling Is The Secret" by Neville Goddard. You can obviously just get the book as well. It's only 44 pages. I think it happens to be something that works well as listening material for a 30 minute walk or drive. This is introductory material for self-initiation into the mysteries of the ancients. It outlines how one develops intent, after which the subconscious turns this intent into reality (internal reality), after which the self more or less acts automatically (still with conscious choice but an inherent limited capacity) to turn the internal reality into external reality. You may recognize its argument as being similar to popular book "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne, but Goddard's treatment is far more profound and detailed, and it's only getting started!
I also suggest studying archetypes, which is really just symbolic/abstract psychology. A few avenues: Carl Jung, Jordan Peterson, Tarot cards, ancient pantheons from Scandinavia to Rome to Sumer, "tree of life" myths from Scandinavia to the Jewish Kabbalah, and other similar systems. Also useful are the dualistic concepts of the Chinese Yijing (philosophy of change).
I'm going to try to put all of these together and arrive back at the original question of masculinity and the damage currently done.

The Mind

At a very early stage in one's life, the mind is whole. There are no separate archetypes — just one thing. Over time, the mind divides. At a physical level, the more obvious and significant division is the left/right hemisphere divide. At an archetypal level, it is the father / mother (or simply masculine/feminine) figures and the hero / adversary figures. I believe you can keep going with no real end. Every "figure" or archetype in the mind can be divided into two more, allowing for an infinite variety of models that the self is developed from. Within the father, you can develop the good father, the bad father, the strict but fair father, the hippie but wise father, etc. Same with the variations on the mother. I won't list out all of these variations but instead focus on the first level to really illustrate how this works.
What's actually happening here? I believe the fathemother divide isn't truly based on gender, but the genders do have a typical expertise in one or the other. Based on Goddard's description of the process from visualization to physical reality, there are two major steps: the creation of want (deciding what you want and visualizing it before bed) and the realization of want (the dream-state where the subconscious is trained on the feelings produced before bed). The creation step is the "masculine" part, which "impregnates" the subconscious with feelings to be realized. The realization step is the "feminine" part, which "births" a "new mind" (or "new life", if we are using reincarnation terminology) when you wake up. Roughly speaking, this implies the conscious part of the mind is "masculine" and the subconscious part of the mind is "feminine". I'll just say this one last time: the genderization of these parts of the mind are firstly symbolic of their role in the creation of the self, and secondly may or may not contain some truth as to how the two genders' minds work slightly differently.
The other dualistic concept is the hero / adversary. As in the Egyptian Osirian tradition, Horus (the hero) is merely a reincarnation of his father (Osiris, the father figure). Thus, the hero is merely the "newborn" conscious mind upon waking up. Given that the conscious self (the ego) can adhere to its predetermined code (from prior training in the subconscious), or it can go against that code, you naturally have a hero vs adversary contrast within the conscious mind. The adversary is simply the self which denies all assumptions, all ideals, all past truths. This is not strictly "bad", although it could be bad in some situations. More commonly, this is merely depicted as mischievousness in myth, and it is very useful, important for things like creativity.
Now, it's time to discuss where we are at as a society and what the real meaning of the memetic trends are.

The Change

The primary symbolic change in western culture is the "bad father" (or toxic masculinity). This has created a dialectic:

• Some people reject the father entirely. The participation trophies, the overprotective parenting, etc — that is acceptance of only the mother.
• Some people embrace the bad father. The "greed is good" ideology, the promoters of the Dark Triad, the growth of criminal and corrupt mindsets — that is acceptance of the bad father.
• Some people don't necessarily embrace the bad father concept, but they take a reactionary stance and reject the mother entirely. If you only embrace the father, you're creating want, but you don't know how to realize it. If you can't dream, the only thing you can do is see physical/existing reality. Thus, you have a sort of physical materialism. This is where materialism comes from: acceptance of only the father (and only the senses which are consciously registered).

This leads to a diminishing amount of people who:

• Still love the father (see masculinity in a good light). This is the idea of positive masculinity, is an expression of the ideal evolutionary game theory solution, which is protective altruism colloquially called "Tit for Tat". This is an expression of a system of thought which has the capacity for forgiveness and punishment, in order to limit the tragedy of the commons in repeated games scenarios (an accurate description of human interaction).
• Embrace the mother as the father (not love the mother as the mother, but who use fatherly love to love the mother). This is the masculine idea of guidance, is a preference for outcome-based morality rather than intent-based morality. This is founded on a belief of reason — actually living according to rational thought rather than the emotional creations of the subconscious. It is the idea that you "walk the dog" rather than letting the dog walk you. You're not really adding anything to the situation if you just love the mother as the mother; randomness + randomness = more randomness.

What all of this really means is our thought processes are fundamentally limited. The "masculine" is the conscious self, the "feminine" is the subconscious. In preferring the subconscious and in turning the conscious into an anti-social beast, we are a ship lost at sea. The conscious self isn't directing the ship towards its rightful destination (truth, virtue, human goodness), and the subconscious isn't able to steer the ship alone. A full human needs both of these parts. Without both, were are in some way inhumane. Barbaric, partial humans.

Historical Origins

It's beyond the scope of this to fully describe the origins of such a cultural shift. However, I will outline a few places to look and draw a loose connection through time. This isn't meant to be a proof, but a roadmap to guide the reader for further research (with personal verification).
There were two distinct types of attacks on authority in the past 500 years.

• One was republican (I will only say this once: "republican" does not mean the Republican political party) in nature, spawning humanist and republican ideals from the Italian renaissance to the American revolution and constitution.
• The other was collectivist in nature, spawning the Reformation, Marxism, and later "cultural Marxism" (or nearly everything you identify with modernist and post-modernist thought, including its latest spawn, wokeism).

These two groups claim to have a common enemy, an authoritarian elite, but their actual philosophies differ greatly.

• Individualism is a core (but not the core) philosophy within republicanism, which is in stark contrast to collectivism. The republicans (from Plato to George Washington) believed in a natural order that must be encouraged through freedoms but tempered by the state, which must be stronger than the strongest cartels in private that would otherwise "rule" the people in a de facto sense (like we have now with state corporatism).
• Collectivism denies any inherent goodness of a natural order (insofar as it is described as a hierarchy), striving for a sort of created equality. It argues the true natural order is equality, and this is only tainted by essentially the inherent "evilness" of humanity, or at bare minimum the negligence of humanity.

As you can see, these two views are diametrically opposed. One views the creative power of humanity as essentially good, albeit flawed. The other views the creative power of humanity as essentially bad. You can see this thoroughly in modern and post-modern art, which acts as a parody to the human condition. It is consumed as the contrived, vain laugh by the very bourgeois that it claims to oppose. This self-hating (or completely out of touch, if they don't realize their own hypocrisy) class of people rules our current society as "the establishment", "the cathedral", "the regime". They are more directly left wing, but they are thoroughly within the right wing and thus represent both choices in our false dialectic of not only our political process, but the morals of our society as a whole.
To return to our cultural shift, the "bad father" arises from an attack by the collectivist schools of thought on all of society for the sins of a small minority. One way of elucidating this is: a few men at the top did some bad things, so all men are bad. It wasn't immediately like this, however. It started with the idea of: "if some Catholic leaders are bad, then all Catholic leaders are" (Reformation). Then, "if some men are unfairly attaining higher status after birth than other men, then all men are essentially cheating themselves from this theoretical 'blank slate' of existence" (Lockean philosophy). Then, "if some corporations (or owners of capital) are out of control, then all of them are" (Marxism). On and on, into the 20th century where we saw arguments by people such as Marcuse to return to a state of primitive sexuality and by feminists to return to a state without even a concept of gender to the latest thoughts, which outright make the claim that men are the enemy of all people, particularly any men which cling to any of the older modalities.
This is a war on human reason, which is a war on human nature itself. Nietzsche saw this as a fusion of the Apollonian and the Dionysian. There are two equivalent ways of breaking down that terminology, but the intent is the same. Perhaps the Dionysian is the good and pure masculine figure, whereas the Apollonian is the adversary figure, thus making the preference for the Apollonian a sort of highly masculine, bad father-esque philosophy. Perhaps the Apollonian is masculinity as a whole, and Dionysian is the femininity as a whole (albeit depicted as a male Dionysus because, ya know, Greeks). Either way, the point is that you need a balance of these figures. And so, to return to the original quote I used as theme "God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him.", the gist is that an imbalance was created, either by killing a holistic concept of a unified "god" in the self (creating the male vs female dialectic), or by assigning this "god" concept to either the conscious or subconscious part of the mind. As stated above, the clear meaning of Nietzsche's arguments is the creation of the dialectic, the splitting of the whole, and the imbalancing of the the bicameral mind in everyone.

• Embrace the mother as the father (not love the mother as the mother, but who use fatherly love to love the mother). This is the masculine idea of guidance, is a preference for outcome-based morality rather than intent-based morality. This is founded on a belief of reason — actually living according to rational thought rather than the emotional creations of the subconscious. It is the idea that you "walk the dog" rather than letting the dog walk you. You're not really adding anything to the situation if you just love the mother as the mother; randomness + randomness = more randomness.

What all of this really means is our thought processes are fundamentally limited. The "masculine" is the conscious self, the "feminine" is the subconscious. In preferring the subconscious and in turning the conscious into an anti-social beast, we are a ship lost at sea. The conscious self isn't directing the ship towards its rightful destination (truth, virtue, human goodness), and the subconscious isn't able to steer the ship alone. A full human needs both of these parts. Without both, were are in some way inhumane. Barbaric, partial humans.

Historical Origins

It's beyond the scope of this to fully describe the origins of such a cultural shift. However, I will outline a few places to look and draw a loose connection through time. This isn't meant to be a proof, but a roadmap to guide the reader for further research (with personal verification).
There were two distinct types of attacks on authority in the past 500 years.

• One was republican (I will only say this once: "republican" does not mean the Republican political party) in nature, spawning humanist and republican ideals from the Italian renaissance to the American revolution and constitution.
• The other was collectivist in nature, spawning the Reformation, Marxism, and later "cultural Marxism" (or nearly everything you identify with modernist and post-modernist thought, including its latest spawn, wokeism).

These two groups claim to have a common enemy, an authoritarian elite, but their actual philosophies differ greatly.

• Individualism is a core (but not the core) philosophy within republicanism, which is in stark contrast to collectivism. The republicans (from Plato to George Washington) believed in a natural order that must be encouraged through freedoms but tempered by the state, which must be stronger than the strongest cartels in private that would otherwise "rule" the people in a de facto sense (like we have now with state corporatism).
• Collectivism denies any inherent goodness of a natural order (insofar as it is described as a hierarchy), striving for a sort of created equality. It argues the true natural order is equality, and this is only tainted by essentially the inherent "evilness" of humanity, or at bare minimum the negligence of humanity.

As you can see, these two views are diametrically opposed. One views the creative power of humanity as essentially good, albeit flawed. The other views the creative power of humanity as essentially bad. You can see this thoroughly in modern and post-modern art, which acts as a parody to the human condition. It is consumed as the contrived, vain laugh by the very bourgeois that it claims to oppose. This self-hating (or completely out of touch, if they don't realize their own hypocrisy) class of people rules our current society as "the establishment", "the cathedral", "the regime". They are more directly left wing, but they are thoroughly within the right wing and thus represent both choices in our false dialectic of not only our political process, but the morals of our society as a whole.
To return to our cultural shift, the "bad father" arises from an attack by the collectivist schools of thought on all of society for the sins of a small minority. One way of elucidating this is: a few men at the top did some bad things, so all men are bad. It wasn't immediately like this, however. It started with the idea of: "if some Catholic leaders are bad, then all Catholic leaders are" (Reformation). Then, "if some men are unfairly attaining higher status after birth than other men, then all men are essentially cheating themselves from this theoretical 'blank slate' of existence" (Lockean philosophy). Then, "if some corporations (or owners of capital) are out of control, then all of them are" (Marxism). On and on, into the 20th century where we saw arguments by people such as Marcuse to return to a state of primitive sexuality and by feminists to return to a state without even a concept of gender to the latest thoughts, which outright make the claim that men are the enemy of all people, particularly any men which cling to any of the older modalities.
This is a war on human reason, which is a war on human nature itself. Nietzsche saw this as a fusion of the Apollonian and the Dionysian. There are two equivalent ways of breaking down that terminology, but the intent is the same. Perhaps the Dionysian is the good and pure masculine figure, whereas the Apollonian is the adversary figure, thus making the preference for the Apollonian a sort of highly masculine, bad father-esque philosophy. Perhaps the Apollonian is masculinity as a whole, and Dionysian is the femininity as a whole (albeit depicted as a male Dionysus because, ya know, Greeks). Either way, the point is that you need a balance of these figures. And so, to return to the original quote I used as theme "God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him.", the gist is that an imbalance was created, either by killing a holistic concept of a unified "god" in the self (creating the male vs female dialectic), or by assigning this "god" concept to either the conscious or subconscious part of the mind. As stated above, the clear meaning of Nietzsche's arguments is the creation of the dialectic, the splitting of the whole, and the imbalancing of the the bicameral mind in everyone.

Hello Everyone,
I currently have a 200mbps + Fiber connection from my ISP, my ISP provided a ZTE ONT which has 5Ghz Wi-Fi and when I connect to it using my iPhone 14 Pro Max and I get 200mbps+ download speeds.
The ONT has 4 Lan Ports and only 1 is used which is connected using CAT 6 cable to the WAN 9 port of my UDM SE.
The U6 In-Wall is connected to the UDM SE with CAT 6 cable.
When I connect to the 5Ghz of the U6 In-Wall the download speed is always 90-100 as if there’s some block.
Please help me to get the same speeds I get from my ONT WiFi.

Ahai, fellow Tyrians!

Hey there. We had a flight out of Faro, Portugal to Paris cancelled this morning due to an easyJet worker strike in Portugal. What gets my goat is that they had us wait for 90 minutes after the flight was to depart to deliver the news, which made us miss opportunities to catch a connecting flight to JFK from Paris (with another airline). So now we’re currently a bit stranded with no clear cut way home. It’s honestly the most unprofessional thing ever. We all heard about the strike weeks ago but were assured that they’d be in contact with us if our flight was effected. They spoke of compensation (and we’re currently waiting in line to speak to someone) which I believe is a monetary amount and room/board. Does anyone have advice as to how we should handle this? Is there any chance for reimbursement for the flight from Paris-JFK (again, on another airline)? This situation severely puts us back in regards to getting back to our jobs and pups and I would like every nickel of compensation that may be available. Any sage wisdom that you may be able to share will be greatly appreciated!
