How to get tokens rec room

I heard so much trash talk on ITCareerQuestions about how A+ is such a worthless certification. It had always been a goal of mine, but hearing everyone trash it really drug me down. Before I got my A+, I got a contract help desk job just trying to get my foot in the door, like many of you here. I didn't have any experience, certs, or degree; I was just an average dude trying to break into an industry that I was so passionate about. But I loved technology so much and I took a $20/hr shit job just for the experience. I was making $31/hr in manufacturing at the time, so taking that massive pay cut sucked. But I was desperate to get out.
I did 6 months at that contract job, and during my time there I put my head down and got my A+. I also got my Google IT certification as well, because I needed it to get into WGU. A full-time position opened up within the company, and I interviewed and ended up getting it. My manager told me that I was neck and neck with another candidate - and the reason they hired me was because of my certs.
Was I lucky? Probably. I went from <$50k to $60k with this jump. YMMV, but in my situation, it was absolutely worth it. So many people on that site told me it was such a worthless cert and that I'd be working at Geek Squad for the rest of my life. I'm just here to say KEEP PUSHING! It's absolutely not a worthless cert, in one month it has already paid dividends. Working on my N+ now - any advice is appreciated. Happy to answer any questions.

l just want to mention a book I've found really helpful on Gender Dysphoria. Written by 2 therapists with over 40 years experience (U.K.) who detail how they do therapy with young people & families (usually) with G.D., with various questions, background, family dynamics, leading through sessions to help these individuals to get to the root causes of their emotions & find healing, some are also de-sisters/de-transitioning medically so might be helpful in helping understand why people get to both states of mind. Really excellent! Gender Dysphoria: A Therapeutic Model for Working with Children, Adolescents and Young Adults by Susan Evans and Marcus Evans. (Also have a website & do some zoom therapy, not sure of costs, offer webinars for younger people, mostly, but some educational information on Gender Dysphoria's root causes beyond 'trans identification' etc.).

I've recently been getting that existential despair from AI progress news way more often than you've felt genuinely excited for the possibilities it opens up.
One of my strongest attributes as a creative professional and workload manager is the sheer amount of different tasks I understand, can structure into a larger delivery and even execute at a commercial level, and while I've been told that's valuable in itself considering projections of AI in the workplace, often times I find myself struggling to place myself in that future, to conceptualize just what my work will look like in a couple years. That same struggle makes me feel like I'm trying to catch up to a train that doesn't stop, on foot, with full knowledge that if I don't manage to do it, that dream of rising above the conditions of my upbringing and forging a life of abundance for me, my peers and family are just done, and I'll just have to settle for average. To me, that feels like defeat.
Back in the middle ages, if you looked at a stable boy and took a stab at predicting what the next 20 years of his life would be like, there was a decent chance you'd nail it. Nowadays, I've found myself having to remake and remaster my goals, plans and aspirations way more often than it is remotely comfortable. Reassessing such things is already not the easiest thing in the world, couple that with my tendency to second guess myself when my confidence is low and my current state of genuine workplace burnout and you might get the picture of why Ive developed a tendency for escapism, why my sleep (or lack thereof) is shit and why so, so fucking often I find myself wishing for God to hit pause, for things to just STOP so I can breathe, put myself back together and resume when I'm back on my feet. I don't think I'm alone in this, and the reassurance I seek is one I wish I could give to others, but right now I'm abusing substances (caffeine, THC, Ritalin) just to get through the week and my clinical depression has been threatening to return, so positivity and determination are in short supply. I just wish someone could tell me it'll be okay and how.

(didn't really know what flair to put if i want to know if people can relate to feeling like this or some advice)
well the title is a lie. i know something is probably wrong with me. i do a lot of things that i think other people think is weird and abnormal and i think weird things too. i don't know why and i just want to be normal. why can't i be fucking normal??!? i know that my thinking pattern isn't normal and that i should change it, but when it happens i cant stop myself from believing it. when i'm with people, i feel fine and i like their company. when i'm alone at home or something i feel like everyone in my life hates me and just tolerates me when i'm around so to not hurt my feelings. in a logical sense, i know this probably isn't true because 1. if they did hate me they would avoid me and 2. they don't really display any outward reasons to hate me. even though i know this, i still feel like they fucking hate me?!??? i genuinely cannot tell if they want to be around me or not. what the hell is wrong with me?????? i avoid talking about these thoughts or really any of my feelings to anyone, so as to not burden them; but then these thoughts and feelings just fester up inside me and multiply day by day until they come out in one way or another. i know i should see a therapist or something but isn't that expensive?? does insurance even cover therapy?? i don't know, but i'll find out one of these days.
honestly, i'm scared of my thoughts sometimes. one time, one of my friends was talking about what we would do after highschool and they said that it's crazy how we won't be friends after we graduate. all i could think about was saying "if you say that again i'm going to [get really upset]." (didn't actually think that but i'm censoring myself) i didn't say it but it's all i could think about. then after that, i started thinking about the situation more and more. why would they say that? do they not want to be my friend? do they want me out of their life? it even appeared in my dreams, where they would tell me how much they hate me and want me out of their life. they would always mention their other friend and how much more they like them over me. that's another habit i hate.
i've come to the realization that i obsess over people to an unhealthy extent. at least i think it's unhealthy. it's not even a 'romantic' obsession or whatever the fuck. i just want to know everything about them and be their number one person or best friend and talk to them all the time and i think about them constantly. i want to be the only person they think about and the person they turn to when they feel down. i hate that they enjoy other peoples company more than they enjoy mine. i hate that i'm not as important to them as they are to me. i get jealous when they talk to other people more than they talk to me, and i fucking hate that i get like that. stop fucking doing that. that's not normal. i fucking hate everything about myself, especially my fucked up head. i just wish i could separate myself from my thoughts.
anyway if anyone else can relate to this at all, please let me know, or if you know any way to cope or get rid of this way of thinking tell me, please. thanks.

Hello folks. Been doing taxes professionally for just about five years now. I had a client who needed their 1120-S and personal return completed and brought in last years’ return to help smooth the process. Their previous professional (a CPA), left no warning to go live in Eastern Europe and wasn’t planning on working with them. I look over their 1120S and it’s dogshit. They didn’t give the 100% shareholder any guaranteed payments (no reporting of compensation of officers). Without documentation added 20,000 SMR on a pickup they drove for business and there’s an adjustment explicitly fudging the numbers (trying to get an AGI was the words used). I’m explaining to them that I need specific documentation, and they are shocked that they need this (“we’ve never needed this!”). How have you eased your clients into understanding record construction or have you just fired them?

yeah yeah i know no one knows what theyre doing but fuck. guess i'll give this a shot. im 21 and graduating in may and feel so completely burnt out despite me not having the heaviest workload ever. my senior capstone class is pissing me off because not one person knows what they're doing for their final paper and im so ready to just meet with my prof and play the crying neurodivergent card. i want to just do the bare minimum until i finish the semester but in some ways i feel that i already am? i keep contemplating how much that gpa really means to anyone bc i want to give up but also dont want everything ive done so far to tank. regardless i feel like shit, dont want to do any of my final papers let alone lighter assignments, and dont get me started on the dread of getting a job. i feel revoltingly money desperate, not money hungry per se but im taking extra shifts at my campus job and trying to make quick cash through focus groups/studies i find on here or craigslist. hell im donating blood for quick cash. ive been barley finding the time to eat this month and my body/health is probably suffering from that, stress, limited exercise, and messed up sleep. im terrified its not gonna get better once i graduate tho and part of me wants more time in school. more time to keep my campus jobs, more time to be forced to get out and socialize everyday, more time to utilize university resources and connections to get a job. fuck maybe even more time to actually form a solid friend group and actually date. i havent fucking dated. the pandemic ruined everything and i feel like time has slipped through my fingers. i spend all my energy to get good grades and a semblance of income only to have mediocre results in both plus no social life and lousy physical and mental health. im so looking forward to finishing my degree but feel like ill completely plummet into a mental hole once i dont have all these silly college worries and responsibilities and left with the Real World. im just talking in circles now but fuck im just so so tired, but is the alternative much better?
tl;dr: graduating soon, want to give up on maintaining grades, dread post grad "Real World" shit.

A while ago a girl in my college proposed me but I was not interested in her and lied her that I have a gf and we have been together a longtime to not feel bad for her of rejecting. But now I have a feeling for another girl but i feel bad about lying to her as she is so innocent girl and she feel so sad and not active like that as she was before and I am worried that it will become worse if she came to know that I'm love with another girl and I don't have a clue how to get out of this

Hey there all ! My OINP application is currently in the "Submitted" stage. Yesterday, i received the invite on the ALL program FSW draw.
I'm a bit confused on which approach to proceed as i have my marriage coming up on the month of July?
My current CRS is at 481.
Scenario 1 : I accept the FSW invite, submit all of the documents, proceed to the AOR stage ( usually how much time does it take ? ) and then raise the change status to include my spouse
Scenario 2 : I proceed with my OINP invite, get the additional 600 points and then change my status to married before i accept any invites from FSW draw
Scenario 3 : I proceed with the FSW invite with no changes in status. Once i get my PR , i apply for spousal sponsorship

I am currently an undergraduate with a 3.92 GPA and have applied for at least 6 scholarships tonight. I posted this to see statisticly how successful I may or may not be in getting a scholarship.

Pedophiles aren’t inherently bad people. I draw the line if they act on their desires, but simply liking kids doesn’t justify hostile behaviour towards them.
Imagine being attracted to kids. That would be horrible. Imagine how bad you’d feel. Knowing that your desires would cause so much pain to another human. A child. That’s a lot to deal with, and honestly I appreciate people who live with this and who keep themselves under control. That must be so shitty to live like that. Every single day. So those people don’t deserve to get shit on, they got enough on their plate.
As for pedos who do act on their desires, that is absolutely disgusting. Just so selfish and awful. How can you ruin a kid’s life for your own pleasure? That’s fucked up.

I cant stop freaking out about ai becoming exponentially intelligent and becoming ridiculously smarter than humans. I cant stop freaking out. I feel like everything is starting to change. I can't go one day without seeing ai. I don't want any digital consciousness black mirror type stuff. Ray Kurzweil predicts that by 2029 human level ai will exist and he gets alot of predictions right. Over 80% I think. I just want my life to be normal I have no problems with technology increasing but this is at a rate faster than I can handle. Im panicking and I dont know how to feel about this. I always just assumed this stuff was 200 years in the future but now it feels like it could happen while im still young. What is the future gonna look like and is ai becoming a singularity actually possible in the near future like the people on singularity seem to think? How do I even stop myself from panicking about this?

Hi! I met the person I’m seeing back in the end of September and we went out quite a bit between then and the end of December.
They are in their last year of their PhD and were unsure where they were going prior to this month. We didn’t get to know each other as much as he’d like and also he was going to be gone for 3 months so we didn’t make things official.
I made the mistake early on by saying if he didn’t want to date me I didn’t want to keep seeing him. He took this very literal and didn’t understand I just meant if he’s just trying to have sex I didn’t want to be with him. Anyways he got really sad about this and had brought up that I may not want to see him “ever again”.
I then also made the mistake of being dismissive of his feelings and energy levels. I took him being busy searching for a post grad job personally and also the fact we weren’t official. i should’ve been a more supportive partner, and have him space to work.
He even stated to me how exhausted he was etc.
Now he’s back and got a job for the next year in the US (he’s not from here and thought he’d go back to Europe). I saw him yesterday for the first time in 3 months and we got coffee. He left me hold his hand etc.
Before he left he told me he didn’t feel like I listened to him.
I wrote him an apology letter before He left and gushy stuff about how I appreciated him. I’m unsure if he read it.
Either way I don’t feel like he’s been able to be sexually or emotionally initiate with me and I’m worried I may have juproduzed a future with him.
How do I make him feel listened to and is there anything I can do to make this right?

If anybody else has been through something similar with their newborn - I’d appreciate any advice. My six week old daughter, as I’ve mentioned in other posts, sometimes gets fussy while eating (only taking formula) and I’m sure there is some reflux issues there. Because of this, it’s hard for me to tell when she’s still hungry versus if she’s just uncomfortable. Ive heard advice that a baby will just stop eating when they are full - is that really true? I think sometimes she overeats because she will cry after a feeding, so I will offer more and then I can just tell she’s super uncomfortable. We haven’t found a good groove for feeding and I’m just so confused about how much to offer her. We’ve been doing somewhere around 4 ounces ever 3 to 4 hours. She is always so fussy and sometimes Cried so hard after feedings and I just hope we find a good balance where she ends a feeding sleepy and satisfied. There is some spit up too, but I know that’s normal. I really don’t want her to be uncomfortable anymore. :(
