not to be a terrible pessimist but there's like a 50% I'm going to end up in the psych ward by december

#this is a joke I don't have health insurance #Im alright just depressed and terrible emotional regulation and no joy in life #vent #sorryyyy

I'm introducing a simple rule to how I do things online, because I do struggle with overwhelming emotions, ruminating, and nuances of behavior sometimes? I think a blanket rule of, "I will not mention or speak about people I have negative feelings about in any online environment" might be best for keeping those environments comfortable for others.

#wish I'd thought of this ages ago but better now than never imo #when the medication i was on previously for emotional regulation still worked #it was less of an issue #but until i find a doctor who's knowledgeable on this type of thing and accepts my insurance #*jazz hands* #not ship related #cw personal

sometimes learning maritime history is just sitting there thinking like okay i get that all my why would you not Xs is money like its just who cares about safety when money BUT i feel like if all of you would agree on shipping lanes for lake fucking huron, youd probably save money on ship collisions, what do you mean these lanes didnt apply to canadian ships????

#kai rambles #shipposting #im just #like #safety regulations were just not a thing when it came to the early version of the modern shipping industry #i know that #safety regulations cost money so just dont have any #but like thats stupid for several reasons #like surely you would save money if less of your ships would like you know sink #or hit another ship #because that involves potentially having to pay out for that ships repairs #also like #you do have to pay some insurance to the families and survivors #granted thats not much considering in 1959 us steel was able to blame the sinking of the carl d bradley on GOD #so they didnt have to pay enough #but also like #the big pushes for safety regulations in maritime history is like not surprising as to when or why they happen #but its frustrating all the same #like after the titanic sank there was a big push to make sure all ships had enough lifeboats for all passengers when thats not really what #lifeboats were/are for? in a lot of the successful rescue efforts lifeboats were there to ferry passengers to another ship or shore #and then go back to the sinking ship to get more passengers #theres also a lot of times where you just cant release lifeboats full of passengers because they will not survive #modern lifeboats are more suited for survival in big bodies or water but older ones were death traps #and iirc lifeboats have killed more than theyve saved? #a lot of captains at the time were like this law change is dumb and is going to cause problems in regards to ships ability to float #because like extra weight and also this is probably not gonna help anyone but that legislation was pushed straight through #but investigating the kind of steel the carl d was made of and how it was that material that made the ship break in half? #fuck you weve decided its gods fault

tbh i am still not over the discovery that retirement pension isn't rly a thing in the states. like....... how the fuck is this even legal lol

#4.txt #it boggles and perplexes me how much my backwater middle of nowhere eastern european country is better than murica #pension is a given for anyone legally employed #you have to jump through some real fucking hoops to NOT have health insurance #our servers don't rely on tips bc they have flat rates #all cities are walkable #decent public transit #education is free which includes higher education #our cashiers are expected to sit down during work #prescription meds are not advertised anywhere bc it's just straight up illegal #our price tags MEAN what they say meaning u don't have to guess how much this box of cereal is rly gonna cost #unions are generally normal #and im sure a ton of other things that come from EU regulations as well #i can't stress how many hoops you'd have to jump through to not have health insurance enough #are u a child? insured. are you registered as unemployed? insured. are you a university student? insured. are you legally employed? insured #yeah sure not all forms of employment come with insurance but even then......... insurance isn't THAT expensive

When I’m depressed I want cuddles, acts of service, and reminders that I’m important to people. When my partner is depressed those things make him feel worse. I don’t have any idea what to do.

#advice welcome #I needed to vent mostly #but advice is very welcome #I just want to help #and I think he just wants to self isolate #which I’m not capable of giving him for a lot of reasons #not the least of which is I share a bed with him #and also self isolation usually makes depression worse right? #idk the man has a very avoidant attachment style and was very clearly neglected and abused #so maybe self isolation actually would help him with his emotional regulation #cuz it’s what’s normal for him #but it breaks my heart seeing him hurt like that #and it also means I don’t get my needs met #thank god his new job offers health insurance #hopefully he’ll find a good therapist this time #or take medication #idk #I’m rambling so I won’t feel the need to fix his emotions #being a recovering people pleaser suck

Car Transport: What You Need to Know Before Shipping Your Car - Technology Org

Car Transport: What You Need to Know Before Shipping Your Car - Technology Org

Car transfer is a trip that has to be well considered and understood before beginning. When shipping your automobile, it’s important to know what to expect, whether you’re buying it from a distant vendor or relocating to a new place.  This guide explores five crucial points to ensure a smooth and informed car transport experience.

1. Research Reputable Transport Companies

Initiate your car shipping process by researching reputable auto transport companies thoroughly. Delve into reviews, testimonials, and ratings from previous customers to gauge the reliability and performance of each potential service provider. Choosing a well-regarded company with positive feedback ensures a higher likelihood of receiving a secure and efficient car transport service. Other customers’ experiences can offer valuable insights into the professionalism, reliability, and overall quality of the auto transportation company, aiding you in making an informed decision that aligns with your car shipping needs.

In addition, think about asking friends, relatives, or coworkers for firsthand suggestions based on their automobile shipping experiences. Getting different viewpoints might help create a more thorough understanding of the different transportation firms. Remember to verify the licensing and insurance credentials of the chosen companies to ensure they meet industry standards, further ensuring a smooth and worry-free car shipping process for your vehicle.

2. Understand Different Transport Options

When embarking on car transport, it’s crucial to comprehend the different options available, primarily open and enclosed transport. Although open transit is less expensive, it exposes your automobile to the elements during the journey. This option is suitable for standard vehicles and those looking to minimize costs. However, covered transportation offers an extra degree of security against bad weather and falling objects on the road, even if it is more expensive.

It becomes especially useful when shipping expensive or vintage vehicles that need special handling. Choosing between these options should consider your vehicle type and budget constraints. Assess the advantages of each method carefully – open transport for cost-effectiveness and enclosed transport for added protection – to make an informed decision that aligns with your specific car transport needs.

3. Check Licensing and Insurance

Make sure the firm has the required insurance and license before choosing a car transport service. A licensed company indicates adherence to industry regulations, assuring that it operates within legal and professional boundaries. Insurance coverage is also very significant since it protects your car in case of any unanticipated damage or loss while being transported. Before finalizing your choice, meticulously verify and authenticate these credentials. This diligence not only ensures legal compliance on the part of the car transport company but also provides peace of mind, knowing that your vehicle is covered in the event of any unexpected incidents during its journey.

4. Obtain Clear Cost Estimates

In the process of arranging car transport, it is crucial to go beyond mere quotes and obtain detailed and transparent cost estimates from potential service providers. Pricing may be greatly impacted by a number of variables, such as the distance to be traveled, the kind of car being transported, and the mode of transportation used. Be vigilant for hidden fees and request a comprehensive breakdown of all associated expenses to avoid any surprises.

A reputable car transport company should provide clear and transparent communication about its pricing structure, ensuring that you have a thorough understanding of the financial aspects of the transportation service. This transparency allows you to plan your budget effectively and select a service provider that not only meets your car transport needs but also aligns with your financial considerations.

5. Prepare Your Vehicle

Prior to entrusting your car to the transport service, it’s essential to prepare your vehicle for a smooth and secure journey adequately. Start by removing all personal items from the car, ensuring it is empty and ready for transport. Make sure to carefully examine your car, taking note of any previous damage or flaws.

Taking photographs of these conditions provides visual documentation that can be valuable in the rare event of an issue during transport, serving as evidence for insurance claims or dispute resolution. Your automobile will be transported with transparency and ease if you prepare it well and keep track of its present condition. This will provide you with peace of mind for the duration of the trip.

Conclusion

Prioritizing research, understanding transport options, checking credentials, obtaining clear cost estimates, and preparing your vehicle are key considerations before shipping your car. You may go confidently through the auto shipment procedure if you adhere to these recommendations.

Since I'm already thinking about James Somerton, I might add this to my musings on his videos and the take aways from his errors, lies, omissions, and plagiarism.

He's a great example of the problems that arise when you decide to categorize a minority group into good and bad members of the group instead of focusing on individual bad behaviors and just that--individual. He's also a great example of the same type of behavior the 9-1-1 stans I was talking about earlier love to revel in.

He's white, a cis dude, and gay. He acts like he's uplifting minority voices and speaking for more marginalized groups when in reality he was spreading a lot of hate and using voices of those more marginalized than himself to boost his fame and fortune. There's a lot of misogynist language in his videos. There's also a whole lot of "good gays" talk. While he doesn't go the puritanical route for describing good gays (meaning a gay person who fits into heterosexual norms and thus is less likely to upset the far right), he does still paint a picture of there only being one right way to be queer while deriding those who do fit into heterosexual norms.

Claiming the opposing stance (we're good because we're freaks and they're bad because they pass) is just another tactic that divides the community and causes strife and in-fighting which weakens the whole community and makes it easier for outside forces to oppress and harm the community.

Of all the videos that pissed me off, the one where he claims that all the good gays died in the AIDS crisis was probably the one that made me most feral with anger. I was too young to be active in the queer community during the Act Up years. I was only able to become more active in the community when I got to college in the late 90s. But I watched the news and read and tried to come to terms with being queer while living in the rural deep south (and let me tell you, finding supportive info was hell before the internet). I saw the work people were doing to fight for housing, for employment rights, for fair treatment in all walks of life. It was never just about marriage and joining the military. Honestly 20 year old me didn't think we'd ever see gay marriage legalized in all 50 states. So hearing that blatant lie was infuriating. It was a sign that not only did he not do his research, he deliberately created misinformation to try to radicalize members of the community and get them to hate other members of the community.

The other problem with his stance about the only good gays being the visibly wild and weird ones is that it ignores the realities that a lot of LGBTQUIA+ folks face. I tried hard to pass, and failed spectacularly especially in middle school where I was severely bullied for looking like a boy and being to masculine and possibly being gay. I did eventually get better at passing as a protective measure.

When I officially came out in college, my cousin thought I was brave as hell, but kind of insane. Not because it was wrong, but because it literally put my life in danger. My college was a small private liberal arts college but was still located in a very red, very conservative state and city. I ended up helping start the college's first gay-straight alliance group (and as far as I know it's still an active group on campus). People were afraid to come because they didn't want to become targets. We had our flyers torn down and some of us had our cars keyed. Thankfully I don't recall us having any violence to people just a whole lot of microaggressions on campus.

A few years after college, I joined the Peace Corps and was told point blank that the country I would be serving in was very homophobic and it would be best if I stayed closeted while there for my own safety. There are lots of people in many US states who still face the choice of being closeted or being victims of violence and for those who simply cannot pass it is a terrifying world to live in. Instead of dividing it into good and bad camps of who can pass and who cannot, it's a lot more effective if both groups stand together and work for change. We are so much stronger when we join forces and stand in solidarity. Calling out those who are afraid to come out, or who feel like they only way to live safely is to pass, isn't an effective way to create change. Just like alienating those who cannot pass or choose not to is not an effective way to create change.

Neither extreme take is fair to the other group. And these sorts of takes tend to result in a sort of "I got mine, and you can go die" mentality. We shouldn't be leaving any member to the hatred and abuse of oppressors. And for those who join our oppressors in hopes of sparing themselves...well, we should pity them because in the end they will find that once the other scapegoats have been slaughtered they will be the ones on the chopping block.

TLDR; Misinformation and framing things in a way to fracture oppressed minority groups even farther is one of the things we all need to be wary of when we're taking information in. Because in the end it only ends up hurting the entire group.
