#Considerations

[perrysoup]

Hey Sometimes it's okay to read a post, agree with it fully, then read a rebuttal and go "you know what, this has convinced me more" That's how discussions and debates work. You aren't beholdant to the first or last thing you saw. It's okay. (Said for myself and others like me who have to hear it)

Considerations #7

Traditional astrologers easily forget their own principal about how not everything in a chart is about personality when they make "true crime astrology" content. When they see a serial killer's chart suddenly everything has to be about the crime and how this is an evil person, and if there's a lot of benefic influence they get brain fried. And let's not even get into how everyone makes too many assumptions about people who commit crimes and diagnose them. Yes, Jeffrey Dahmer was ruled by Venus and he probably had a pleasant, polite or artistic personality, I'm sorry. And the common Saturnian thing in charts of serial killers that you're seeing is probably about the fact that these are people who got excluded from society and Saturn signifies imprisonment, not necessarily because you think they're evil. We should all stop obsessing over these people.

MK: [He denies that the Monkey King is his father] "Mei, you know that Monkey King isn't my dad, right?" […] "Monkey King is not my dad. Pigsy is my daddsy!"

Also MK: [After hearing that Azure Lion and Monkey King are Sworn Brothers] "Does it mean, that you are my uncle? Uncle Azure? "Uncle Lion?" […] "Come on, Uncle Lion! Come on! Show me!"

Me: This kid has a problem… He's collecting fathers like Pokémon trading cards! Who's next? Demon Bull King?! (joking...probable)

Designing Autistic-friendly Homes: Key Features and Considerations

Our home is our happy place. It is a safe haven where you can relax after a long day and unwind in peace. But, as we know, everyone has their own definition of what a home looks and feels like. Some prefer it to have a modern, sleek design, while others would like a traditional look. Similarly, people on the autistic spectrum have their own preferences when it comes to housing ideas. Simply put a brick-mortar house with windows and ample light might not be their go-to choice.

Individuals on the autistic spectrum can feel overwhelmed by things like bright lights or loud noises. Therefore, designing homes for them requires careful thought and meticulous planning so that their unique needs and concerts are aptly met.

Read on to find out all the things you can keep in mind while designing a home for autistic individuals and how Salisbury Autistic Care is doing its part to make comfortable homes.

Lights, Colors & Sounds

Many people with autism are sensitive to their environment and may have a hard time processing information that they feel and see. This sensory overload can be really intense and overwhelming. That is why it is important to opt for soft, muted tones in colors and avoid harsh lighting or loud noises. It helps create a calm, soothing environment for them to relax and be at ease.

Additionally, incorporating tactile elements such as textured surfaces or soft furnishings can provide comfort and stimulation without overwhelming the senses.

Structured Spaces

Organization and structure help autistic individuals to focus better. Incorporating the same in the living spaces gives them a sense of predictability and routine. Therefore, having designated areas for different activities, such as sleeping, eating, and leisure, or for storing non-essential items, helps individuals with autism to process their environment more effectively.

Quiet Retreats are a Must!

Like everybody else, individuals on the autistic spectrum like their quiet, me time. This is especially true when they feel a sensory overload. A quiet corner or room helps them decompress and relax. Hence, these retreat spaces should be equipped with comfortable seating, dimmable lighting, and noise-canceling features to create a calming environment.

状況は変化していく

この世に不変な物は存在しない。物質、気候、環境、経済、ルール、身体、思考。。。早い遅いはあれど、すべての状態は刻々と変化していく。そして我々は否が応にもそれに対応して生きていかなければならない。

とは言え「先のこと考えたって無駄だ」と常に場当たりな対応をするだけなら他の動物と大差ない。五感に基づく情報に加え、過去のデータや科学的見知から将来の変化を推測し、計画を立てて先んじた行動をしてこそ人間である。勿論、想定外の事態は沢山起こるけれども、その経験を糧にして後々に活かすから我々は向上していけるのだ。

特に移住を考える場合には、現況だけでなく将来どのようになっていくかを充分推測しておくことが肝要である。地域の状況は刻々と変わるし、自分自身も変化していくことを踏まえ、そこに長く定住できるのかどうかをよく見極めておかなければならない。リスク査定もせず衝動的に移住すれば、後になってさまざまな問題が沸いてくるのは必然で、そうなれば長く住めるわけがない。ましてや甘い選択をした自分の責任を棚に上げ、地域を散々罵倒して去っていくのは筋違いも甚だしい。

今の地に移住して来て8年になる私も例外ではなく、取り巻く環境は既にいろいろ変わった。地元公共施設の廃止や統合、通信インフラ、集落住民の顔ぶれ、自分の体調。。。まあ書き出せばキリがない。ただ変化にはメリットとデメリットが併存するからダメージだけがもたらされたというわけではないし、むしろ弱点が利点に転化したケースもある。例えば新型ウイルスの流行なんか移住前には全く想定できなかったが、過疎地の山奥に住む身には脅威は小さかったし、例えば気候変動により終日陽当たり良好な土地より木陰が出来る当地のほうが凌ぎやすくなったりとか。

そして将来、現在建設中の「伊豆縦貫自動車道」が全線開通すると、この地域はさらに大きく変化していくことになる（上の写真は当地から車で約15分の場所にある「下田北IC」の建設現場で、工事が着々と進められている）。便利になれば人の行き来が増え、交通量も増し、それを目当てにした店舗や観光施設も出来て賑やかになり、この地域への移住者も増えるかもしれない。一方で静かな環境は一変し、これまでのような秘境感のある田舎ではなくなってしまうかもしれない。それでも今の場所に住み続けようと思うなら、そこで起こる変化に適応していかざるを得ないのだ。

Do the responses used to measure the stats stay or stray within the bounds of what they have been defined to be? E.g: MC you need to get laid!, MC not feeling like engaging in a romantic relationship leads to Logical advocating for MC's perception: "Romance is just an optional factor in life. Not a necessity" which leads to Logical response (I prefer being alone anyways) which may seem congruent or contradictory to previous Sociable responses (At least I get to meet interesting people!) GuidAnon

Honestly, I wasn't even thinking how this refers to MC's stance on socializing with people - I wrote it as MC 'not needing a romantic partner' (alone in the romantic sense).

But this does give me some thoughts to refine some of the things written. (My brain is currently frying over the intricacies of this insight, but I appreciate the workout you're giving me on this!! 👀)

I apologize if you come across errors like this in the future though. 😔Please feel free to call me out on it. I hope I'll be able to do better in the future, but I can't promise anything.

Thank you for the ask, GuideAnon!

Indiana Jones - spoilers, more like consideration(s)

I'm actually so glad this was the last one because you can really tell it's lost most of what made an Indiana Jones movie an Indiana Jones movie. The plot was there but it took almost half of the movie to actually got there so y'know, great but even then it was a little slow to start. The cgi in some scene was great in other a little less, they try to did the same thing of Star Wars and Leia(?) and it was kinda cool.

I loved the nostalgia fest of characters was great, loved to see how some characters grow old. AND MARION WAS SO FUCKING HDHDHEHEHEHEJEJEJJEHEHEHEHRHEHEH PLS WOMAN 🥰

(Honestly the last scene with the two of them kissing like that made me blush oh my god I read a/b/o porn to put myself to sleep but two old people softly kissing kills me and made me blush)

The quadrant was okay, as thing, a little too much à la fast and furius when they go into space, with them getting back in Siracusa back in time.

✨️Elena✨️ I loved her character so so much.

MOST IMPORTANT THING: A LOT OF NAZI WERE PUNCHED, REPEATEDLY.

I don’t want you to see me like this.

I want you to see me like this. I want to be known by you. I want the love that I didn’t get.

I don’t want to be seen like this. I don’t want to hurt you. I don’t want you tainted.

Considerations #6

You can't automatically put witches or witchcraft in the 12th house. I see some astrologers do that and I think it's an issue of not understanding the principals and adopting what they see in the ancient books without critical thought. The traditional sources would have witches in the 12th because it's the house of the bad daimon, which can show hidden enemies and spiritual attacks. William Lilly, for example, would look at it in horary astrology if the querent believed they had been bewitched or something of the sort. But witchcraft isn't always about hexing someone. If I had to put witchcraft in a house it would be the 3rd, the Goddess, as a magical/spiritual/religious practice. If you're a witch yourself you'll be looking at the 12th to see your hidden enemies, not yourself or your practice, you have no power in the 12th. And if you're actually hexing people, you'll look for them and that practice in the 6th.

The problem here is not thinking through why something was said and why things are assigned to the houses that they are. The houses are supposed to be understood in trios, the four angular triads. The 1st, the 2nd and the 12th form the first angular triad, with an angular, a succedent and a cadent house. Angular houses are where there's action, it's a turning point, where planets have power and can do things. Succedent houses are not yet angular, they represent things that support the angle. Cadent houses are about losing the power of the angle, it's where things fall, get slow and have no power. The 1st is the angle of the ascendant, the place in the sky where things were rising at the time of birth, so it represents the native themselves, who was also just rising in the world, and the basic rule is as above so it is below. The succedent house from it (the 2nd) is about what comes to the native, things that support it, and all succedent houses have a lot to do with material things. The cadent place from the native is the 12th, where the native falls, where they lose power or control, where they can be at the mercy of others. So, the 6th will be the 7th's cadent, the other's fall, where the other loses power, that's why we see there the signification of slaves or servants and small domesticated animals in the ancient sources. And generally, someone who got hexed by you is subjugated in a sense that fits best the symbolism of the 6th house of bad fortune.

I find it interesting that this is also a bad house for the native and this is probably not trivial. I don't know that much about magic, but from what I see, I think most magical traditions consider the link created between the two people involved in this as dangerous for the person casting the spell too, like war is dangerous and costly for both sides. If you consider all the other significations as well, they're costly, energetically or materially.

What Makes Trucking Payroll Unique? Key Considerations

Trucking payroll is fundamentally different from standard payroll due to the industry's distinct operational demands, regulatory requirements, and driver payment structures. Managing payroll for trucking companies requires specialized knowledge to address these complexities while ensuring accuracy and compliance. For businesses in the transportation sector, understanding the nuances of payroll trucking is essential for efficiency and employee satisfaction.

Diverse Pay Structures

Unlike traditional payroll systems, trucking payroll must accommodate varied pay structures. Drivers may be compensated based on:

Mileage: Payment per mile driven, often varying between short and long hauls.

Hourly Rates: For local or short-distance deliveries.

Load-Based Pay: Compensation tied to the type, weight, or value of the load.

Bonuses: Additional pay for safety, fuel efficiency, or meeting delivery deadlines.

This diversity in payment methods demands accurate tracking and classification to ensure drivers are paid correctly and fairly.

Multi-State Taxation

Trucking companies often operate across state lines, creating payroll tax obligations in multiple jurisdictions. Drivers earn income in different states, requiring careful compliance with state-specific tax laws. Companies must determine where taxes should be withheld and reported, factoring in residency and work locations. Failing to navigate these complexities can lead to penalties and audits.

Per Diem and Expense Reimbursement

Truck drivers frequently incur out-of-pocket expenses, including meals, lodging, and tolls. To reduce taxable income and comply with IRS guidelines, trucking companies often offer per diem allowances. Properly managing these payments involves:

Distinguishing them from regular wages.

Ensuring they adhere to IRS daily limits.

Accurately reporting them in payroll systems.

Mismanagement of per diem payments can result in tax liabilities for both the company and its drivers.

Driver Classification

Trucking companies may employ both full-time drivers and independent contractors. Correctly classifying drivers is crucial because:

Employees: Employers must withhold taxes and provide benefits like workers’ compensation.

Independent Contractors: Contractors handle their taxes, but companies must issue 1099 forms for payments.

Misclassification can lead to significant financial and legal consequences, including back taxes and fines.

Compliance with Industry Regulations

The trucking industry is subject to regulations from the Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Compliance includes:

Adhering to minimum wage and overtime rules.

Keeping detailed payroll records for audits.

Monitoring hours of service to prevent overwork and ensure safety.

Non-compliance with these standards can harm a company’s reputation and financial stability.

Integrating Technology

Modern payroll systems tailored for trucking companies integrate with GPS and Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) to track mileage and hours automatically. These tools reduce errors and streamline payroll processing.

Conclusion

Trucking payroll is unique due to its multi-layered pay structures, cross-state operations, and regulatory requirements. Addressing these complexities demands a tailored approach, including specialized software and expert guidance. For trucking companies, efficient payroll trucking management is key to maintaining compliance, optimizing operations, and fostering trust among drivers. With the right strategies and tools, businesses can navigate these challenges effectively and sustain long-term success.

I always go by this metric:

If it's immediately urgent, call me

If it's important but not immediately urgent, text me

Otherwise, I'll get to my messages when I get to them.

I am only one, very broken person. Please give the people you love grace, and make sure they extend the same courtesy to you. If they're unwilling to allow you time to yourself, that's probably not a person you want in your life. And I hope most people wouldn't try to monopolize their partner's every waking moment, cuz that's just fucking exhausting
