Jobs hiring 17 year olds

I literally have, "if before June 15th and after may 15th, then be yellow," but it's just not. I don't understand and I'm sorry if the answer is simple, I've never used conditional formatting before.

My CPTSD was caused by an incredibly toxic and sexist work situation I was in many years ago. Although I've done a lot of healing since then and feel relatively stable and sane now (big thanks to medication and EMDR), I still occasionally feel an almost unbearable amount of grief about the situation.
I've always been a "high achiever" and I think the people around me have always assumed that because my main way of coping with stress has been to put more energy into work, that I was fine. I was not fine. I was far from fine. I was outwardly successful but a mess inside. Call it "high functioning CPTSD."
When I finally left that job, I was at rock bottom. I literally felt like a part of my soul had died. I think people around me thought I was being dramatic, but I didn't know how to function.
I went through CPTSD alone and no one saw how much I was suffering or helped me get the support I needed. Not my good manager, not my colleagues, not my family, not my partner, not even my therapist or my psychiatrist at the time. I didn't just have anxiety, I was in a constant state of flashback. I feel so betrayed that these people who should have known, did not. I was told to try meditation and yoga (LOL) and discouraged from trying medication when I was clearly in a 24/7 terrifying emotional flashback and couldn't control my thoughts no matter what I did. I feel angry that I had to learn to advocate for myself through all of this. That I had to be the one to navigate medication, to realize something was wrong, to find a way to a good EMDR therapist.
Even now, I feel like the people close to me don't understand and I feel RAGE. And so, so sad. Can anyone else relate to this feeling of going through it all alone? And still feeling so much grief even after "healing" from CPTSD?

This is my third TTRPG story. Context: I am DMing a homebrew campaign and for a month, I have been unable to play the campaign with my players because of IRL troubles. Finally got into the session and we pick up where we left off with the half elf centaur Guild Master giving the party a personal request to help her deal with the recent backlog of requests. The murder in an inn just that morning being the one given to the party. They all show up to the inn with some directions and are met by a closed sign on the door, but it's unlocked. The party spends a minute deciding if they wanna break the door before deciding not to and just opening it. They are then greeted by the halfling innkeeper waving hello. The party asks how she is doing before asking where the murder took place, and the innkeeper guides them up to the room before letting them in and going back downstairs to let the party investigate.
The party's actions are as follows: The Bloodrager: Licks the blood on the floor. The Investigator: Checks the room for any arcane signs, finds the doors in the inn have magic in them and then ignores them entirely. The Alchemist: Investigates the room, finding that the chest is dented in a dome shape in the back while the lock has been broken off. The Inquisitor: Casts Detect Magic on the room. Finds that the chest has magic on it. Investigates the chest and finds a Cutlass hidden in a groove in the bottom of the chest. The Kineticist: Rolls poorly and is in fact still in the hallway, Investigates dust bunnies. Identifies new species of dust bunny. They are proud of themself.
After finding the Cutlass, the Investigator inspects it as they have a backstory involving smithing. Being a dwarf they also recognize the craftsmanship to be dwarven in nature and likely a masterwork of sufficient age and quality, and is engraved with the initials of H.T. The investigator takes the sword and goes downstairs to ask the innkeeper if they know anyone with the initials of H.T. and are directed to a sailor at the docks named Hunt Teodore. They also now learn the name of the victim is Deleran, a known pickpocket. The party sees this as a good enough lead and runs off to the docks to ask about Hunt. It doesn't take long to find him through sailors arguing amongst themselves, and the Bloodrager introduces the party by calling the dwarven sailor, "It". The dwarf is angered by this and curses at the lizardfolk while making it known that he doesn't like any of the humanoid races he has met aside from dwarves.
The investigator talks with Hunt and finds that the Cutlass is a family heirloom of a Dwarven Naval clan, and that it had been stolen 3 months prior. The victim in question having been a prolific thief around the city for years, and after asking to hold onto the heirloom for evidence until the murder is solved, Hunt agrees as long as he gets it back before he leaves on another Naval expedition at the end of the week. Hunt hands over the decorated scabbard of the heirloom to keep it safe as opposed to being wrapped in a ragged cloth like it had been.
The investigator then asks if the thief had stolen from anyone else, or if they have any enemies. It is then learned that Deleran had stolen from almost everyone on the docks and they would likely have better luck talking with the Astrologer to learn more. Seeing a new lead, the party leaves towards the lighthouse, this is because there are 2 tall tower like buildings in the city. Arriving at the lighthouse, they are met by an old man sleeping in a rocking chair on the porch of the lighthouse. Waking him up and asking if he is the astrologer, but the party is then told he is just a lighthouse keeper. The party promptly apologizes and leaves without any further questions or talk.
Arriving at the second tall building, the Bloodrager attempts to break down the down, and finds that it is not even on it's hinges and falls flat on their face with the door in their hands. They find the astrologist is barely awake after being abruptly awoken by the guests who entered his home. Asking questions, they ask if he knows a Deleran to which he yells that he does, and so does everyone else. Digging through his cluttered floor of books, the Astrologist throws a few books around and tosses a book to the investigator. (The fail the dexterity check and it smacks them in the face.[No they don't take any damage, just comedic slap of pages to face.])
What they learn from the book it the recorded reports of theft from across the city of missing items and possessions that the astrologist has recorded. The party finds that the two main targets of his theft are a playwright, and an information broker. They travel up to the docks to find the playwright starring out to sea looking for mermaids. The playwright tells the party that Deleran had stolen the only copy of his play manuscript and it was never returned or found.
The party now seeks out the information broker after getting drunk at the docks with the sailors and ending up asleep in the inn. They meet up at the Adventurer's Guild with the information broker trading information with the desk attendant. The party asks about Deleran and the broker is visibly agitated at the mention of his name before asking what they want to know. The party explains his recent murder and their investigation before being given a 2 inch thick folder from his satchel that contains Deleran's official criminal record in the city.
At this point the party is lost and I give them the hint of "Sometimes the best places to look for important details are at the beginning." via the information broker. The Party then decided my clue meant going back to the starting town that was a month's travel away. At this point the session has ended because we hit time and players needed to disband to go do IRL things. (Work and such.)
I am absolutely lost and don't know what to do here. I have a culprit in mind and have tried to direct them with hints and clues.

The reason I'm hodling has changed and I'll tell you why.
A year ago, someone posted asking "Share why you're holding" and I replied:
"Actually holding for a reasonable reason: My dad's small design firm went bankrupt in the nineties and he's been struggling to find steady employment since. He's a very talented old school illustrator but lacks computer skills and is without academic degree so it's been hard for him to find a steady income. He's now "retired" and VERY good at living off of extremely small amounts of money. I would very much like to be able to call him up and tell him that, for the years he has left, he won't have to worry so much about bills."
What changed? Well, soon after I wrote that, my dad fucking died. He was 66 years old.
The weeks after he passed, I learned a lot about him that I didn't know. I learned that for the last two years of his life, he hadn't taken any of the fifteen different medicines his doctor had ordered him to take. Some of which were not only crucial to his survival, but would worsen his conditions should he stop taking them. Why didn't he take them then, one might ask. Well, I can only speak for how I perceive his situation during his last years but I'm pretty fucking sure it's because he couldn't afford them.
He retired early. Usually, retirement comes around the age of 67 in our part of the world, and I remember the sound of his voice when he told me that he had realized that now that he's retired, he would actually have a little bit more to live off of compared to what he had had during the last twenty-something years of unemployment. That left a great sense of relief and honest joy in my heart since I knew how he had been struggling to make ends meet.
What happened? Having taking notice that my dad now had an "income", the authorities contacted him to set up a plan to pay off the debts that had gathered during his time of unemployment. And so, happy days were gone again. The small spark of joy and relief was crushed like a bug to the ground, and he was right back to literally counting pennies to afford to eat.
I am so fucking ANGRY at the system that allows for billionaires to become even more billionary than they were before while ordinary people who want nothing more than to do good gets fucked right over, again and again, until they fucking die, way too early than they're supposed to.
Yeah, so why are you hodling?
Well I can't fucking hold for my father anymore can I? But I can fucking hold FOR THE PEOPLE. I hold for anyone out there who might be in the same awfully miserable fucked up position my dad was in. I hold for the disruption of a system that causes good people to fucking die.
I ain't telling you why to hold, we all got our reasons, just an update on what my new reason is.
Now let's go to the fucking moon.

Hey! I have played some dnd already, I'm in 1 campaign right now, but as I'm getting quite uncomfortable playing with them and the others not listening to it. So basically I'll probably leave the group. So coming back to the point, I would love to be in a new group and getting to know other people. I'm quite a flexible player, I enjoy roleplaying(while I'm still learning) and also combat. I'm fine joining groups that have already started, and groups that haven't started yet. If you're interested in having me send me a private message :) (sorry if my English isn't too good)
Some more things about me: I'm from the Netherlands 21 Years old Not LGBT, very much supporting though Pretty cheerful/helpful person Can play all weekdays, not in weekends

Hi friends. My 17 month old sometimes just doesn't want to go down for her nap when we attempt. Not trying to make it an hours long thing to get her down but sometimes I do get frustrated.
Lately I've been removing myself from the situation when I do get frustrated, to give myself a few minutes to calm down and collect myself. It's mainly 1-3 minutes before I go back into her room to help her to sleep. In that time I'm gone though, she starts crying and obviously is super upset I'm gone.
Am I messing her up? I know in the newborn stages it's okay to leave for 5 minutes to collect oneself during those awful crying stages. But is it worse to do that in the toddler years since she's more cognitive and aware?
When I go back in the room, I always apologize for any outburst I have, tell her she did nothing wrong and that I love her no matter what. She always calms down and gives me a hug, then usually goes down super easy, when I do come back.
Thanks friends.

One valley has a minor leak. Otherwise no issues. Can I just fix the valley and move forward?

Hi!
I'm looking for programmers(unity/unreal), visual artists and various roles to join our already established game development team. There's already a well received game on Steam, but while that is being completed we want to make sure the new project is up and running as well.
Who am I?
I'm the lead developer of a game development team working on an RTS game and a cute 3D platformer. I've already released one game on Steam which did fairly well.
While that's being wrapped up/finished new plans are being set in motion. This means getting demos done in order for our agency to get publishers on board, arrange funding, fix marketing and similar stuff like that. Our goal is to have a well running game development studio in 5 years that gives all sorts of developers the opportunity to enter the gamedev industry and grow in both skills and results.
What's in it for you?
What I'm offering is the opportunity become part of a project with the goal of delivering a AA quality game. Apart from force majeure scenarios this project will finish no matter what meaning that at the end of the road we will all have a good quality finished game under our belts. This can then translate into being hired by us parttime or fulltime or a good step up to become a gamedev at other game companies.
So basically if you stick with us you will end up with:
- A completed AA quality game (95% of indie gamedev projects never get there)
- Having worked within a serious game development team
- A % of the profit should you choose that over an hourly wage
- A salary as a gamedev for an X amount of time once the funding comes in
- The opportunity to become a parttime or fulltime member of the company as a whole
- The ability to show other employers that you have what it takes to create fun and good quality videogames
Your motivation
That being said your main motivation to want to join should be the love for game development and wanting to improve your skills. If money is your main motivation I highly recomend you to try to see if there are any paid positions you quality for. You will likely make more guaranteed money that way. We're really looking for people for who passion for gamedev comes first so that it can shine through in our games.
That said; once funding becomes available you will be paid per hour if you choose to do so, to be paid a % of the profits, or a combination of both. But that's still about 3 months away most likely. Of course there are no guarantees in that area, but this is the general plan and based on past experience I have reason to believe that the odds of this happening are good.
Your skills
In terms of programming you're free to send me a message if you have experience with unreal or unity and aren't an absolute beginner. If you think you can contribute in any other area then you're free to DM me as well, but in that case please also make sure that you are not an absolute beginner.
In addition to that we ask that you dedicate at least 5 hours per week to the project. However, the more agency, ownership and time you can spend on this the better the results will be for us all.
We are currently not looking for composers.
Some extra context
Over the past 5 years a lot of experience and knowledge has been gathered in this industry. I've had contact with over 50 different publishers, made a lot of contacts within the gamedev industry, learned a lot about marketing and I'm working hard to get the best results possible for everyone involved. Now i'm looking to also transfer all relevant knowledge to you and the other team members. All I ask in return is your time, some agency and love for the project, and the desire or discipline to consistently try to features or other content to the whole. That way we will end up with a higher quality game that's fun to play at the end of the road!
Contact
If you're interested please send me a message with the role you want to fulfill and your discord handle. Thanks for reading through this mountain of text! <3

Hi all, this is my first post in the HVAC community, so please be patient with me and forgive any amateur mistakes or omissions.
Our home HVAC systems have been operating without any issues. A friend who owns an HVAC install/service business sent one of his techs to perform a “system tune-up” before the hot summer weather hits and let us know if anything in the system needs additional servicing or repair. The tech suggested some services and I want to make sure that these services actually need to be performed and whether the price is reasonable (for the Los Angeles County market).
The entire HVAC system is 6.5 years old and pretty much all equipment is Carrier brand + Nest thermostats. There are two separate systems — one for upstairs and one for downstairs. Each system has its blower unit and gas furnace in the attic and an AC condenser unit outside.
(1) Replace Dual Voltage Regulator on Condenser (on only one of the units) — $187. Tech explained that this voltage regulator / capacitor helps kickstart the condenser unit, and the unit for the upstairs system is ever so slightly out of spec. He stated that according to Carrier’s specs, the voltage should be between 4.7-5.0V, and the reading during his testing showed 4.6V. Given that this is only out of spec by 0.1V, does this need to be replaced now? If so, is $187 reasonable?
(2) Clean Condensate Lines — $450 ($225 x2 units) & Install Ceiling Saver Kit — $450 ($225 x2 units) —> $900 TOTAL. Tech examined the main blower units in the attic and noted that there are no signs of leaks or blocks in the condensate drain lines. Tech confirmed that in addition to the built in condensate drain lines, both units have a drip tray in case the line gets backed up. However, he suggested cleaning out the drain lines as a matter of maintenance ($450 for both lines). He also suggested installing a sensor that would turn off the blower unit in the event of a condensation overflow, but not sure if that constituted an entire “ceiling saver kit” ($450 for both units). Are these items needed, and if so, is $900 a reasonable price?
Thank you in advance for your help and feedback

My girlfriend sort of abruptly broke up w me last weekend. We had been dating 1.5 years, with the last 6 months she was in NYC for an internship. I'm 25 and have been out of school for 3 years, my ex graduates in December. We had planned to move to NYC together at the end of the year. noticed she had grown a little cold, and after 2 weeks back home, she broke up w me.
initially, I was devastated, but leaned into my healthy habits (good friends, family, exercise, golf, tennis, and therapist) and have been finding the silver lining in things. this is an opportunity for me to invest in myself and make the NYC move solo. in many ways I get how my current state would be envious to others and I feel good about that. I have my health, good friends, good job, etc.
but today I stumbled across my exes bikini pic, and in a spiral redownloaded Tinder and noticed she had updated her profile. I instantly became so angry and jealous. partially because she was very much a dream girl for me.
any tips on staying focused on the silver lining of this breakup and not falling into a spiral and feeling of heartbreak? also tips for making a major move (NYC) solo? thanks!

For a little bit of context I (F21) and him (M25) got together last year around April, when I was almost 20 and he was 24. I’m bi and had a very abusive relationship with a girl before him. She r-word me, stole money from me, leaked my nudes (I stopped sending nudes after that) and bullied me after I broke up with her. I told him all of this 2 months in and asked him to please never behave like that if we ever broke up, and he told me of course he wouldn’t. I quickly realized that he had lied about who he was in the beginning of the relationship. He was the type of guy who lied about being a feminist in order to get girls. I learned about that when he started calling all of his exes ‘crazy’ or the w-word but I was naive and had all the love hormones for him, so I did not see the red flags. Most regular people his age also hated him. That’s why he mostly hung out with either 17-year-olds who dropped out of high school or middle-aged addicts. I expressed my discomfort about him hanging out with teenage girls and boys many times, but he called me ‘controlling’ and told me he has to hang around young people in order to start his music career. He also lied to me about being in between jobs. I found out eventually that he'd never had a job in the first place, and his family is rich, so they give him an allowance. Our relationship didn’t work out, and we broke up after 6 months. I wasn’t perfect, but I never did anything to hurt him. I nagged and I made passive-aggressive comments so my crimes was that I wasn’t a good girlfriend to a guy who wasn’t a good boyfriend to me. It was both of our faults, but we never cheated or hurt each other, so I didn’t think anything bad was going to happen after we broke up. I thought we will go our separate ways, not talk for a while, and then give a casual "Hey". I never expected what happened next. We broke up six months ago. He was creepy toward me and followed me around at parties in the first month. Then he started sending me extremely verbally abusive voice messages every time he would see me out with my friends somewhere. After I eventually blocked him, he started posting about me, calling me every name in the book. This all escalated, and around month 3 post-breakup, I went into hiding. I would only go to a club or a bar after my friends confirmed that he was not there; I would leave if he came, and I eventually stopped going out at all. At first he started threatening my friends whenever he saw them, but eventually he stopped, and I was relieved. Two weeks ago, six months post-breakup, I went to a rave I was really excited about with a guy I started seeing recently. My ex was there, but I just ignored him. My date is a very tall, strong man, so he never even dared to come close to me or my friends. I thought it had finally stopped and I could start living my life normally again. On my birthday (2 days ago), he posted about me being every name in the book again and wishing I was dead. What does this man want from me? What can I do to make this stop? I know a lot of people would say something like, "Just ignore him further" or "Why do you even care?" but please put yourself in my shoes for a second. He makes me want to die. This whole situation has made me contemplate sui many times. I’m scared he will beat me or r-word me one day. I tried to talk to his parents and get him help because he is clearly having a mental health crisis and could be dangerous, but there’s nothing they can legally do unless he accepts it willingly. They know there’s something wrong with him, but nobody can take action until he actually does something. And no. The police in my country would not take his threats against me seriously.

My insane mother, who is narcissistic, controlling, dishonest and an all around bad person, let me go through decades thinking my dad ghosted me.
I found my uncle, his brother on Facebook and messaged him. My dad died years ago. That side of the family has missed me terribly. Half sister married and has two grown boys, nephews I never met. Brother just married a cutie pie. My uncle told me my mom called my dad decades ago and told him never to contact me again because he molested me. BULLSHIT! THAT WAS HER BROTHER WHOM SHE STILL FAWNS OVER TO THIS DAY. SHE ACCUSED ME OF MAKING IT ALL UP.
She is old and sick. I can be the bigger person and never mention this to her or her side of the family because it would cause more damage than good and I would feel like shit over time. She stole an entire family from me. My uncle sent me pictures of my Polish side of the family. My great, great grandfather and I look a lot alike.
My dad was an alcoholic asshole who treated me like a step child after my half siblings were born, so he does not get a pass, but I should have been able to make that decision. I wonder if anything my mom has told me was true. I doubt it.
My uncle said my dad really wanted to see me before he passed. I am so hurt and angry, but harming an old lady isn't going to do me or her any favors. All I can do is see my part in it. In 2006, I contacted them and ghosted them because it felt weird and I believed my mom's lies about my dad. Yeah, I can see my part. My sister who idolized me, wants nothing to do with me. She was so hurt that I abandoned her. Can't say I blame her. I dreamed of these people all last night. My whole body aches this morning and this migraine won't go away.

Hi there! I’m asking for some help for my 16 year old, senior, declawed, indoor cat. A couple months ago, I took her to the vet, because one of her eyes was swollen, and she would rub it until it bled. The vet said it was seasonal allergies… She didn’t have them last year though? Then, the vet gave me ointment gel (mix of antibiotic and steriod) for my cat’s eye. I used it as instructed. I think either the ointment “burned” her hair off and made the skin around her eyes raw. The eye isn’t swollen anymore, but she still rubs the **** out of her eyes. It’s completely pink and no hair between her eyes and her nose. What is this? What do I do? I’m worried I’ll go to the vet and spend hundreds of dollars just for them to tell me my cat is senile.
Here is a link to a pic of my cat’s eyes.

Hi all,
i want to find a yt video i saw different years ago but cannot remeber the name of the video itself or the channel's name. It's a video that shows a guy who get fired, loses his girl (who drives away in another dude's car). Than he decided to buy a plane's ticket and change his life going away. He drives cars, f...ks cheeks and party. At the end of the video there's the guy with a girl, and the cellphone rings, it's his old boss, he dcline the phone call and it ends. Anyone knows about that video?

I saw a video about paedophile hunters, they caught this 32 year speaking with a 14 year old and was going to meet for sex.
Gross and illegal - I get that part.
But he wasn't actually speaking with a 14 year old, as they just pretend and use "decoys". So where does the law actually sit with prosecuting them?
Can't they just argue that they knew this "14 yo" was actually an adult and were going along with it?

Right now I'm sitting at my computer trying to apply for jobs. I apply for one and I'm feeling a little confident. Then I go to apply for the next one and it prompts me to submit a resume or a cover letter. An instant defeated feeling. I have made cover letters and resumes in the past but now it just feels hopeless.
I'm 30 years old and I don't have a lot of prestigious accomplishments about myself. I dropped out of community college when I was 23 and I haven't had any jobs that I have been proud of to talk about my achievements of. I personally think I have what it takes to do an array of jobs but most of them want experience in the field to even hope for a chance at employment. I could write a cover letter expressing my interest and benefits to working for these companies but without any good connections or previous experience, how am supposed to find the right career for me?
I grew up in foster care to later be adopted into a home with parents that didnt take any time in their life to guide me even in the slightest. I left at 18 to live a better life and threw myself to the wolves. My motivation has been twiddled down to absolutely nothing. I just wish I had that motivation that I had leaving home. That undying sense that I could accomplish anything. Now it just seems hopeless and I dont know what to do about getting a stable well paying job to keep me moving forward.

For a little bit of context I (F21) and him (M25) got together last year around April, when I was almost 20 and he was 24. I’m bi and had a very abusive relationship with a girl before him.
