the aftermath posted:How do I find a good therapist? I need help Just Google "therapists in [your area]" and you should get a good list. Read up on their specialties on their bio pages to see if there is a therapist that could be of particular help, and see if you can find some reviews about them. Good luck, and hang in there!

Sign up on this site (it's a thing run by the Federal government) and you might get a new, free, decent router that also is used to collect information on how closely your isp matches their promised services. http://www.testmyisp.com/

They're giving away the Netgear WNR3500L wireless router. If that's a really good one (it seems like it but I have a hard time telling), I would rather just drop $100 on it than deal with that whole mess.

Sometimes in tv and movies you hear the dialogue "You're fired." "You can't fire me. I quit!" What, if any, are the technical differences between what happens when you're fired and when you quit? Like if you knew you were going to be fired in a short time anyway, what are the pros/cons of quitting first? Or making the above statement. I've only been let go once and only quit once but I honestly don't know the difference. I think I've heard you can collect unemployment if you're fired but not if you quit. Does quitting look better when you interview for your next job? I'm sure the accounting department uses different terminology when talking about a former employee who was "terminated", but is their separate paperwork they have to file for them? Or is it treated the same?

Just suggesting the FCC thing since you get it for free and get an additional thign for tracking connection quality.

Yeah, it says they download/upload a lot of data though, upwards of 50 gb/month...they seem to be looking for people with a relatively dormant internet connections. I torrent a lot of...Linux builds.

You have to be laid off (i.e. your company downsizes or is otherwise forced to let you go) to collect unemployment.

Have you made sure you're optimizing router location etc for the best strength/range? http://www.microsoft.com/athome/setup/wirelesstips.aspx I wouldn't use even a free Netgear router. From the web interface design to the range and reliability it's not worth free (unless I have nothing i guess). I've worked with wireless routers for a long time and pretty much sworn off everything except linksys. N router would be "better" but if your range problems are locale specific you may not see any increase in range.

I just got an Apple TV today and I am having some issues integrating it with my current setup. Right now I have: Samsung 42C450 plasma TV(http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-PN42C450-42-Inch-Plasma-Black/dp/B0036WT3V6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1301005891&sr=8-1) Samsung HT-C550 lovely all in one home theater (http://www.samsung.com/us/video/home-theater/HT-C550/XAA) Toshiba Blu-ray player Before I got the Apple TV I had the [HDMI out] from the blu-ray plugged into the TV and the [audio out] from the Blu-ray player plugged into the back of the home theater. This setup worked fine. The Apple TV only has HDMI out, so I purchased an HDMI cable and some RCA cables. My intention was to go from [HDMI out] on the Apple TV to one of the HDMI inputs on my TV, then I assumed there would be an Audio out on the TV that I could plug the audio out from the TV into the home theatre. I now see that there is only one audio input on the home theater. Am I hosed?

Elijya posted:Sometimes in tv and movies you hear the dialogue "You're fired." "You can't fire me. I quit!" In this specific instance it's just a "no, gently caress you" type of thing. Different companies have difference policies regrading paperwork and which kind of reference they can give out. Lots of places now are scared of libel suits so they will only confirm that "Yes, Gary was in fact employed here from X to Y date" or some will also add if they would rehire you or not with no elaboration. Some guy might also fill them in on every little detail of your time spent there, including "I tried to fire him for stealing and he quit before I got the chance." Some places will give you the option of resigning before they fire you so that either they won't have to pay unemployment, out of respect, to protect themselves from a wrongful termination suit, so that you won't have to lie in future interviews, because they don't feel like filling out the paperwork required for firing somebody, or any combination of those reasons.

No, unemployment is definitely a government thing, not from your previous employer. That's why there was that huge uproar not too long ago about unemployment benefits not being extended by Congress.

Here it is: If you work hard and do your job to the best of your ability you will not be 'fired'. Here's the truth: Unemployment insurance is basically your government working for you (don't get used to it): If you were "fired" without good reason, you were "laid off". If a company "lays off" people frequently they will pay a higher 'insurance' rate for every employee.

Idran posted:No, unemployment is definitely a government thing, not from your previous employer. That's why there was that huge uproar not too long ago about unemployment benefits not being extended by Congress. The government hands out the checks, but an employer pays an unemployment compensation tax. The higher the ratio of tax paid:unemployment paid out, the less UC tax that company pays.

The one time I was let go I found another job very quickly and was living with my parents anyway, so I've never applied for unemployment and know nothing about it. The term "let go" could mean either "fired" or "laid off". Different states (probably) have different laws concerning who gets unemployment and who doesn't, but I think for the most part if you get fired "with cause" (e.g. you showed up drunk) the employer can fight your UC claim in order to keep their UC tax rate low. I don't think it's possible to get UC anywhere if you quit your job. At least I hope it's not.

the aftermath posted:How do I find a good therapist? I need help The googling/phonebook thing is a good start, but you may need to make sure the therapist takes your insurance, so be sure to ask on the phone when you call places up whether they take whatever you have. Or, you can probably call your insurance and ask for a list of covered therapists in your area. They may actually have this available to find online, too.

It's probably because that guy has only posted 3 times in the past month and all of them were similar. The last one was also a lame attempt at starting a fight and the one before that was simply, "I like to wear bras on my rear end when I masturbate." I don't know about you, but I'd rather not have to skim over that crap when reading the forums.

Rules thread posted:...if you are incredibly funny, you can probably get away with just about anything. Something Awful is a forum on a comedy website, and being mean can be a great way of producing comedy. Just remember that the people in charge of determining the amount of comedy in your antagonistic wordplay are notoriously unfunny moderators, and it's entirely up to their judgment. If you aren't sure, don't post it. The mods have clearly demonstrated that they do not think he is funny via repeated probations. Trying his lovely fakeposting humor once and getting probated for it should have been enough of an indication to him that he should stop because the mods don't think its a valuable contribution to the forums. I imagine that the month long probation is a response to the fact that he clearly is not taking the hint.

the aftermath posted:How do I find a good therapist? I need help Does your employer have an employee assistance plan? I think they are pretty common these days; you call them up and they hook you up with someone in your area. Generally you'll get a few visits covered free under your plan. They may be linked with your insurance so that whoever they find you is covered under your insurance if you keep going, but that's just a guess.
