Is this an impulse decision or not. Can't tell if its the brain or the trauma. Too many parts.
Help! Is this an impulse decision or not. I can't tell if its the brain or the trauma...
NOT US. (Third world country i.e. There is no government support of any kind) This is going to be a long one. I'd appreciate it if you'd read through it, but if you can't
TLDR; My toxic 52h/week with 20+ hours shifts workplace is actively traumatizing me. I have food, housing and utilities covered. I just want to quit so I can focus on building skills to change careers. Is this smart?
Hey guys. Please help me with this. I've been struggling with this. I work in healthcare as a junior doctor. I had a greater than 1 year career gap after graduation and was surprised to be hired to the place I'm currently working as I felt unemployable. It's a dead end job with no progression because I can't pass the exams needed. Some background this is the same hospital where I worked during my graduation.
After a few months of trauma-therapy, about over a year of inner child work, and I've finally discovered why I'm stuck acedemically/professionally. Aside from my cognitive weaknesses this line of work is associated with alot of trauma for me (something I just uncovered in therapy). I've decided I'm ready to change careers. I never had the chance to work through what I liked during my early days so I don't know what would work for me and I want to give myself time to discover and learn so I can actually build a career for myself but I understand that it isn't realistically possible. I found a master's programme that really interested me and will atleast be able to provide me with a stable, well-paying, 9 to 5 if nothing else. In my country pays are shit and no decent jobs unless you have a masters atleast. I need to study for GRE and get a good score if I'm to get in. I need time and low stress in order to be able to manage by executive dysfunction enough to study and with my current job I haven't been able to at all and the entrance test is in two months.
My last shift I had an even more traumatizing experience at work. A new supervisor, in a gathering of about 15 colleagues and students proceeded to call me out regarding my decisions and assessments for appropriately 20 mins in front of the patient's family it wasn't even formal calling out but just literally shit talking me. My senior didn't assess the patient like they had to. (I'm very poor knowledge-wise and haven't been able to cope with it to this day but work hard so am considered a decent worker). They said someone complimented me and I guess they were trying to judge if it was warranted. "you don't know how to do this!?" "you've probably never done this before, have you?" "don't lie to me" " no way she did this" " asks me a question and I reply to the best of my shit knowledge proceeds to make fun of my answer" "where do you think youre going come back here" "don't stand over there stand infront of me" "is your stethoscope old? What brand is it? (implying I'm using a shit one" " laughs I asked you to take it from me why are you coming here?" " referring to group she isn't listening is she?" "looks like you've never done this before" "you need to study" you get the gist. On a sad side note: You know how we're always taking about how our trauma symptoms are defences in childhood I actually experienced it play out in real time when this happened and lol I believe it now. If it wasn't for dissociation I don't know how I would've gone on through the day.
I'm tired. So done. A part of me says just quit immediately and start studying for your masters and focus on building skills for a job. Another part says to not quit until you have another job lined up but the response to that is you've been trying to do this for a while just accept that you're not capable of building skills while also working here with all the trauma work and symptom management you have to do in general and also because of your job so can't build skills and manage symptoms and work and also apply to new places like today hustling worker. I really want this masters and I really want an engaging fruitful career. I'm afraid if I quit ill end up back to the state I was in during my career gap (super suicidal literally the worse mental space I've been in) but another part says you're not the same person anymore. 1 of my two primary abusers doesn't live with me anymore and I have much better symptom control. BUT another part says you'll loose your income and so your super expensive trauma therapist approximately 30% of my salary went into trauma therapy but the results are incredible so I feel it was totally worth it and alot of my salary goes into what I call cptsd-tax. The reply is well you can get into freelance work.
Anyways I'm so unsure and my mind feels like it'll explode. Thoughts? After crying and feeling like shit all day some parts of me are beginning to feel resentful towards me that I keep putting myself in this situation. I'm not in crisis-mode that much I can tell and I'm not fleeing from process which means I'm not in a flight or fight state either. I want to take the risk and quit but I feel like I'm yearning for validation in this decision. As I type this I'm hoping everyone says yeah go quit ASAP but I know logically that won't be the case. I'm so confused but also feel a little certainty that even if I did quit I'd make it somehow. Let me know what you think I'm desperate for support.
Thank you to anyone who read this. I apologise of any formatting issues as I'm on mobile.

This should come as nothing new but it's always worth remembering that a lot of behavior misinterpreted as masculine and 'alpha' is just manifestation of deepseated insecurity. I put alpha in inverted commas because I don't agree with categorizing humans according to fallacious ecological hierarchies but everyone knows what types of individuals it refers to.
Most 'alphas' are not the roided up meatheads grunting while they egolift, nor are they the womanizers hellbent on maximizing their body count, and they're not the guys who have to prove their worthiness by being a money grubbing mercenary working on three side hustles and signing so called friends up to ponzi schemes and doing whatever it takes to make a buck. They're not some pack of frat boys or jarheads who have never once thought for themselves and get a hard on everytime they see the star and stripes. They're not the wannabe mavericks who go to great lengths to try and look 'weird' (but not too weird!) because they start dissolving when they're not in the spotlight.
Genuinely 'alpha' men are of courage and fortitude and humility. They have accepted themselves. They have nothing to prove to the world, and they carry themselves with quiet confidence. They're not volatile or aggressive - they're stoical unless there's a very compelling reason to react with wrath and violence. They don't need to derive their identity from some ingroup and they're critical thinkers and skeptics even when this pits them against the rest of the room. They can put others before themselves in a way that isn't simply ego-serving. They pursue women to a healthy degree but aren't obsessive and they do it for the experience not because they need to prove something. In relationships they give their partner all the space and freedom in the world because they trust them - if the trust is betrayed they move on. If family or friends violate their boundaries they cut ties. They have sufficient self-respect and integrity - they don't compromise their values to make a buck or fuck. They don't turn to a 2000 year old book to quell their fears of death and uncertainty , they live in reality. They're proponents of equality and disavow bigotry of any form. They have a strong rationale behind their major choices in life. They can admit when they're wrong and change their ways. They don't seek confrontation but realize sometimes it's necessary, and wont' shy away from it.
My grandfather is probably the most strong-minded person I know, considering how he was able to rise above childhood abuse and neglect and institutionalized racism to become a doctor of psychiatry who refused to go into private practice and charge people more than he thought they should have to pay, he was conscripted into WWI, took on scientology and was almost assassinated, had patients try to murder him for various reasons etc and yet he was with one woman his entire life, never actually made much money, is soft spoken and humble and has never complained about his life - the opposite of 'alpha' figures in pop culture who I refuse to name.
You hear endlessly about the supreme value of being outcome independent when pursuing women but funnily the men I know who have the most notches on their bedpost do not operate with this mindset. When I was travelling Europe with friends I met a mutual friend who had all the makings of a ladykiller fuck boy - he was admittedly smooth in action... until he had a rough patch where not only did he not get his precious little willy wet but he had to bear witness as a few guys from our group (including yours truly ) did... he soon turned from mr cool calm and collected to a bitter envious cunt who was trying to steal his friends girl so egregiously one night that it almost resulted in a fight and his exile from the group. That's one of many examples I have.
Nowadays you often see these self proclaimed 'alpha' types preaching messages of inspiration, as if they're a born again altruist who's about uplifting and helping everyone become a victor like them, but the primary source of most of these guys confidence is steeped in the fundamental belief that they're better than others - better looking, more sexually desirable etc. If they suddenly became paraplegic or encountered some sort of seismic change in circumstances, do you really think they would be carrying themselves with confidence? propounding the same messages? I think it's fair to say that many of them would collapse in a heap from which they would never recover. You can build self discipline but you can't build real confidence in a gym.
We also know beyond doubt that being ultra dominant and aggressive isn't a sign of confidence so much as a need to control others and avoid hurt - the epitome of cowardice. Many narcissists and sociopaths are guilty of this. At risk of kink shaming If someone considers themselves extremely dominant in the bedroom that to me is not a sign of masculinity or passion, it's a sign that the guy ought to see a sexual therapist because there's a good chance that there's a less savory reason behind it.
And social psychology 101 tells us that people who bully either have inferiority or superiority complexes - in either case it's not a hallmark of a strong mind - yet it's rife among most 'alpha' circles
I endorse sexual expression, but it must nonetheless be said that it takes more strength to resist our animal impulses than to submit to them - yet submission to sexual impulses is so often what we see 'alpha' types do, and this actually bolsters their masculinity in the minds of some fools, as if throwing civility away and being animalistic is somehow admirable. Maybe when you're already balls deep in someone who's asking you to fuck them harder or if you're fighting for your life, otherwise behaving in a primal way is something to be condemned and doing so often jeopardizes relationships, friendships, career.
Then of course there's the vile side of machismo cult/ure that is 'do whatever it takes to get laid' ...whether that means hacking away at someones self-esteem, physically intimidating them, feeding them alcohol, implying that if they don't comply they might find themselves in a bit of trouble (the dennis reynolds strategy), jumping through any amount of flaming hoops - this type of scumbag shit isn't reserved for hypersexual sociopaths though, I've moved through circles of relatively outwardly regular guys who boast about how they managed to fuck women who weren't really interested let alone enthusiastic as if it constitutes a more impressive feat. I'm noticing this less so over the years but I'm not sure whether that's a sign of the changing times or whether the circles I run in are just getting older and less possessed by pussy or they're just more discreet about their thoughts and behaviors these days.
disclaimer : of course women aren't all angels either.
That's my rant, no refunds

​
‘Did you really have to threaten to open fire on one of your fellow countrymen?’ I hear Jensen ask via an overhead speaker.
“Jensen,” I start, wincing slightly as I readjust my position in the makeshift bed, I had been forced into despite my many protests, “I don’t make threats. If I say I’m going to do something, I’ll make it happen.”
‘That doesn’t help,’ Jensen replies, ‘It also doesn’t help that you delivered that statement to an Enlisted Officer.’
“He’s lucky that’s all I did,” I reply, “Mark was a self-entitled bully back when we were at school. And his attitude certainly hasn’t improved based on our brief encounter the other day.”
‘They’ve lodged an official complaint,’ Jensen states, ‘Apparently they want know why a Nazi flagged ship entered the harbour, threatened the Coast Guard and then simply sailed off.’
“They don’t want to know anything about the attempted air raid, or the battle just off the coast that repelled that air raid?” I ask.
‘There is no mention anywhere in their complaint of seeing any aircraft above the harbour,’ Jensen replies, ‘Although they are also wanting to know about the mystery figure they spotted skating around one of the islands in the harbour.’
“Out of interest,” I ask, “Has anyone from the Chinese Government made a statement about this?”
‘Not officially,’ Jensen answers, ‘Although there have been some back-channel discussions. From what they have disclosed to us, they did witness the air raid and the defensive actions your fleet took. As to their inaction. They were unable to verify our warning to them in time to be able to raise the warning with their boats.’
“That entire engagement lasted almost two hours,” I say shaking my head in disbelief, “If they want answers, I’ll answer them if they can tell me why their only response was to send a single Coast Guard cutter out to investigate.”
‘As I said,’ Jensen begins, ‘They make no mention of seeing any of this in their complaint.’
“Then they are either covering it up, are incompetent or both,” I state, “The lack of action from the Chinese ships that were in the harbour can probably be explained as not wanting to start an International Incident. But I’m not buying the story that no one else saw what was going on that morning.”
‘It certainly does seem that someone is trying to cover this up,’ Jensen agrees, ‘However, without a full investigation into what happened, it’s your word against theirs. And being as you withdrew from the area almost as soon as the battle was over you can see why it doesn’t look good.’
“They’ll have a hard time explaining away all the evidence from the battlefield,” I say, “The boys at the lab are going to be busy for a while documenting everything.”
‘What evidence?’ Jensen asks.
“Well aside from numerous parts from the aircraft that attacked Darwin,” I begin, “The reason I withdrew as fast as I could was, we were able to recover one of the enemy boats.”
‘Have you learned anything about how they work?’ Jensen asks.
“I haven’t been aboard,” I admit, “I’ve been confined to bedrest for the last week.”
‘Its not like you to follow doctors’ orders,’ Jensen comments, ‘You normally ignore most medical advice.’
“What doctor?” I ask, “I still have to be given the all clear from the medical team once we get back to Midway.”
‘Sounds serious,’ Jensen replies, ‘What happened?’
“A concussion of some sort and what I believe to be at least two broken ribs,” I answer, “The ship came under direct attack and Eugen was forced to make some rapid course changes, which sent me bouncing through a hatchway on my way to the deck.”
‘So how long until you reach Midway?’ Jensen inquires.
“Probably two weeks at best guess,” I reply, “Between the slow speed we need to maintain due to having a heavily damaged ship under tow and the rough weather down here it’s making for a slow return voyage.”
‘Well keep in briefed,’ Jensen comments before I hear the audible click as the phone connection ends.
**
As the skies slowly began to illuminate marking the start of another day, I found myself out on deck during one of the rare moments I had been allowed to leave my quarters.
In the distance the outline of the main laboratory building came into view as Eugen skilfully navigating her ship around the atoll towards the area reserved for offshore mooring of large ships that visited Midway.
As the ship rounded the western most edge of the atoll, the details of the upgrades the team had been working on became apparent. The barge which had been used to transport the huge generator from Darwin had been beached not far from the main power station.
Another larger building had also started to take shape not far from the main laboratories although its purpose was lost on me given the last reports, I had read indicated that we were only using around sixty percent of the facilities storage and research spaces and under forty percent of the living areas.
“It would seem that the team has been busy in our absence,” I comment aloud.
As I say this the rising sun clears the top of the main building, bathing the waters around the atoll in light. Taking in the sight I spy Bogue’s ship moored in the distance. My gaze is soon captured however as in the growing light across the waves a pair of large, heavily armed gun boats lay at anchor.
As Eugen slows her ship and in the near distance I hear the rattle of numerous anchor chains, I take in the details of the closest ship. From the stern flag post a white flag with a red pattern hangs limp in the still morning.
As I scan across the length of the ship, I take note of the numerous sets of gun turrets spread along the length of the main deck from just below the bridge structure running back to just ahead of the number four main battery.
My attention however is soon drawn away to the second of the gun boats, this ship despite from the distance appearing to be slightly smaller in size projected more fear despite fact that like the other ships anchored around the atoll was simply floating at anchor in the low morning swells.
I put the additional sense of projected fear down to the fact that the entire ship appeared to be painted in a flat black paint from the waterline all the way to the very top of the super structure. The only hint of another colour was the flag hanging from the stern post.
**
“Do you have any lingering effects from the hit to your head?” the doctor asks.
“No,” I reply with a shake of my head, “The headaches cleared up about three days after. The burly vision and ringing in my ears cleared up around the same time.”
“Well,” the doctor says turning off the torch he had been using a moment before, “I’d say you have a minor concussion. But if you aren’t suffering any of the after effects now, you should be fine to return to your regular duties. As for your ribs.” He continues turning to a scan pinned to a light board on the wall. “They are healing well. But you definitely broke two. There’s not much else we can do to speed up your recovery there. Just take it easy.”
“That’s easier said than done,” I retort sarcastically.
“Yes,” the doctor agrees, “You do have a habit of being right where the action is.”
“Speaking of action,” I say changing the subject, “What have I missed here?”
“A lot,” the doctor admits, “However the Professor said he’ll brief you once we were finished here.”
**
Five minutes later, after the doctor signed off on my medical reports, I enter the main research room to find the Professor sitting in front of his usual multi monitor setup rapidly scrolling through an endless stream of what appeared to be computer code from a distance. “Pull up a chair Nathan,” he says, “We’ve got a lot to discuss.”
“It would seem so,” I answer remaining standing a short distance away next to a table littered with pages of reports. “Can we begin with an update from the Global Explorer. Surely Jim has reported in by now?”
“He sent a pair of video data folders yesterday,” Professor Strickland answers, “Two separate files he says are from two different locations. He labelled them with the co-ordinates.”
“Anything interesting in the videos?” I ask.
“Plenty if you’re interest lies in the contour of the ocean floor,” Strickland answers with a slight chuckle, “But aside from that. Nothing of importance. I still don’t know why you sent him to either of those locations.”
“Because I needed to confirm a theory,” I reply, “Both of those sites he checked out are where the wrecks of the Akagi and Kaga were found.”
“And that proves a theory?” Strickland asks.
“It certainly lends a lot of support to my theory,” I reply, “Whoever is behind the attacks out at sea has been testing us. Well testing our military at the very least. So far, they’ve employed tactics from our history against us, and are using weapons from our past against us as well.”
“To what end though?” Strickland asks, “None of that makes any sense.”
“I agree,” I say, “But look carefully at what we know. Pearl Harbour was attacked in very similar fashion to how the Japanese did at the start of the Pacific War. And what do we find floating in the middle of the Pacific Ocean but a ship that matches perfectly to one of the very ships that was involved in the original battle. A ship that by rights should be on the bottom of the Pacific a couple of hundred nautical miles away from this atoll.”
“But we still don’t know the who or the what,” Strickland insists, “We also don’t know how far this goes?”
“I think we can safely say it goes as far as every ocean on the planet,” I reply, “I’m certainly no expert when it comes to warfare. But whoever is behind this is playing for keeps. They’ve already openly attacked at American Naval Base, a British Fleet out at sea and conducted two Air Raids on major ports in Australia. Plus, there’s enough evidence to believe they ambushed an American Fleet as well.”
“So, your theory is that we are at war with an unknown enemy?” Strickland presses.
“Yes,” I answer, “So far though. I believe they have only been testing our abilities. Otherwise, this would be on every news network around the globe. Right now, the only reason we know anything is through sheer luck.”
“It would seem that you are not alone in thinking that,” Strickland admits, “One of our newest arrivals is of the same opinion.”
“Yes,” I begin, “I meant to ask earlier about the two ships anchored off the atoll. Care to fill me in on that?”
“Do you remember the briefing before you left,” Strickland says, “Where we covered our theory on what those cubes we keep finding are.”
“I remember,” I reply, “The theory is that they contain data of some sort. Only the scanners could not complete the scans due to overheating.”
“The new generator solved that problem,” Strickland announces proudly, “With the extra power, we were able to stabilize the power supply and run additional cooling. We’ve also been able to read quite a few of those cubes now. We found a few of them to be blank however.”
“Blank?” I ask.
“Yes,” Strickland confirms, “Blank. Nothing on them at all. So, one of the junior programmers wondered what would happen if we tried to load data into a cube.”
“What sort of data?” I ask in a worried tone.
“It started off simple,” Strickland admits, “The team transferred about a dozen different ship designs into a couple of cubes. Then transferred data about various types of weapon systems, radars, tactical data from reports that we obtained from Jensen.”
“Does Jensen know about that?” I ask.
“He said it was okay,” Strickland answers, “He said most of the reports were public knowledge already and those that weren’t, were not subject to any privacy laws.”
“Okay, so now we have a bunch of cubes that contain technical and tactical data,” I say, “How does any of that equal two ships anchored off shore?”
“We subjected some of them to a large electrical charge,” Strickland answers simply.
“You didn’t,” I say feeling the colour drain from my face at the prospect.
“We sure did,” Strickland admits, “In fact your timing is perfect. Our first arrival from those experiments has just arrived.”
Turning towards the door, I notice a tall woman with long brown hair step through the open door to the lab. As she makes her way towards us a feeling of familiarity hits me. Everything about her appearance feels oddly like someone I had met before. From the prominent fox-like ears, numerous tails lazily waving behind her, even the style in how she wore her hair.
Then it hit me. Aside from the lighter shade of colour in her hair and the more modest choice of clothing, she nearly was identical in appearance to Akagi. Someone who for the last several weeks had barely been out of my presence as she had insisted on making certain I had remained in the makeshift medical bay to recover from the injuries I had sustained during the battle.
“Please forgive my lateness, Professor,” she says in a voice that despite its calm nature, hints that should the occasion require, could dominate the room. “I lost track of the time studying the history papers you gave me.”
“No need for apologies,” Strickland replies, “I was just briefing the Captain on the latest progress the research team had been making.”
Turning to me, “Allow me to introduce our senior Captain, Nathan Harrison. He oversees our research ships and is one of the teams leading theoretical researchers.” Strickland announces, “Nathan, this is Amagi. Her presence here is the result of one of the experiments I mentioned a moment ago.”
“A pleasure to meet you,” I say with a smile.
“The Professor has spoken of you often,” Amagi says, “He mentioned that you lead from the front and take a very hands-on approach to the projects you oversee.”
“I certainly try to keep myself busy,” I reply, “Being able to have full control of the ship certainly makes the research side of my job easier given I have a greater control over the variables.”
Amagi nods silently in agreement.
“Would I be correct in assuming that the larger of the two cruisers anchored off shore is yours?” I enquire.
“You assume correctly,” Amagi replies, “Are you familiar with Japanese Naval History, Captain?”
“I have a very limited knowledge when it comes to naval history or even tactics for that matter,” I admit, “However I’m certainly learning a lot recently given the events of the past several months.”
“From how the Professor explained my arrival here and the arrival of the other members of the fleet,” Amagi explains, “It would seem that the cubes used in my creation have taken the form from my original design.”
“Your original design?” I ask.
“My ship was original designed to be a battle cruiser, before an attempted conversion to an aircraft carrier was halted due to my hull being badly damaged,” Amagi replies.
Before I can reply, the phone on the table beside the Professor buzzes. Picking it up, the Professor listens in silence before speaking, “We’ll be over in the minute.”
“Problem?” I ask seeing the worried look on the Professors face.
“Maybe,’ he replies, “The radio guys are picking up a radio call from the Global Explorer. They say it sounds like a distress call.”
**
Crossing the room to where one of the team’s radio operators was listening closely through a headset. As we approached, he held up a hand to prevent any of us from speaking. After a brief pause, he removed the headset and turned to face us. “I have cleaned up the recording as much as possible. But there is a lot of static.”
“Play it,” Strickland says.
‘Glo..l Explorer .. Midway. Encount.. hostile ….. Attack.. Sink… Host… head… fo. Mi..ay. Se..nt..n hour. No..h w.st. R.n’
Sharing a look with the Professor as I mentally replayed the message in my head filling it the blanks with the most logical word. As I realized the full message my eyes widened in shock. Going to the nearest computer and sliding the operator out of the way, I rapidly log into the facility’s secure server.
As the opening page loads on the monitor, I take note of the spinning icon in the lower left corner of the screen. Double clicking on the icon, my worst fears are confirmed. “The Global Explorer is dumping its logs onto the server,” I report.
“What does that mean?” I hear Amagi ask in confusion.
“It’s the last action taken before abandoning ship,” I reply, “It’s either manually activated by one of the senior crew before they leave the bridge, or automatically triggered if the ships internal sensors detect multiple compartments flooding.”
“Any chance that it’s a false alarm?” the Professor asks.
“None,” I reply, scrolling through the data logs, barely giving them time to finish loading before moving to the next. “I don’t know what happened out there. But the engine room temperature spiked to over a thousand degrees before dropping down to eleven. Both the forward cargo compartment and rear loading deck compartment sensors are indicating flooding. And the trim sensors are showing a forty-degree list to starboard.”
Looking away from the computer and taking a deep breath to compose my thoughts, “That and the radio message,” I say, “It was definitely Jim. He clearly said hostile and attack and that whoever they were, are headed this way.”
**
Standing in the conference room fifteen minutes later, the realization that with the apparent loss of the Global Explorer and the loss of the Intrepid and the very real possibility of a hostile enemy closing in on Midway, the team stationed here had lost both main pre-planned escape options we had prepared for in situations that required the rapid evacuation of the atoll.
Behind me I hear various people entering the conference room and taking a seat. As the scrapping of chairs being moved dies down, I turn to face those gathered. Before I can speak, a couple of late arrivals step in through the open door.
The final member of this group is a young woman with short, light peach coloured hair. Who on seeing me, turned away from the group and ran straight for me. On reaching me she wrapped both arms around me drawing me into a tight embrace.
“I see you’ve met Roon,” I hear the Professor call from the doorway as he enters the room.
“So it would seem,” I struggle to reply, “I take it she is the second result of your experiments,” I add.
“Yes,” Strickland replies joining me at the front of the room, “It would seem that she’s a hugger.”
“Would it be possible to have my body back please?” I ask.
Slowly releasing me, Roon steps back, before silently re-joining the others seated in the room.
“I think she likes you,” The Professor comments.
“What makes you say that?” I ask gently feeling my ribs which feel like they are on fire.
“The fact she followed your request,” Strickland answers, “You’re the first who’s been able to get through to her.”
“That’s great,” I mutter sarcastically, “We just need to work on her introductions then. I swear she just re-broke my ribs.”
“If its any consolation,” Strickland begins, “Her combat prowess is second to none based on what little we’ve learned to date.”
Shaking me head in quiet disbelief at the Professor’s continued unyielding push for results rather than showing any concern for how those results were obtained. I scanned the room to find that everyone was looking in my direction.
Everyone save for Akagi. Who was staring through narrowed eyes towards Roon sitting a few rows away.
Clearing my throat, “As some of you may already know. We have received a warning of a possible hostile enemy that is heading straight for us,” I explain, “To those of you who are in senior positions. I need you to wind up any work your departments are working on. And execute our evacuation protocols.”
“Where are we going?” someone from the back of the room calls out.
“The team will evacuate towards Hawaii,” I reply, “There they will either report in to the Navy Yard. Or if advised carry on to the main land.”
As I finish this brief explanation. Over half of those gathered, stand up and walk out to begin the evacuation. As the door closes behind the last of them Professor Strickland speaks up, “Do you really intend to run?”
Looking across at the Professor I reply, “I intend for you and the others to run. In case the rest of us fail to stop the enemy from reaching Midway.”

Here are 5 things that you should consider before buying a 3 BHK flat in Gurgaon.
Location
The location of the apartment is one of the most crucial factors that you should consider before making a purchase. Gurgaon is a vast city, and it is essential to choose a location that is convenient for you and your family. Consider factors such as proximity to your workplace, schools, hospitals, shopping centers, and other amenities that you may require on a daily basis. It is also essential to check the connectivity of the location to other parts of the city. A well-connected location will not only make your daily commute hassle-free but also increase the value of your property in the long run.
Builder Reputation
Before investing in a 3 bhk apartment in gurgaon, it is crucial to check the reputation of the builder. Choose a builder who has a track record of delivering projects on time and has a good reputation in the market. You can check the builder's credentials by doing some research online, reading reviews, and talking to people who have purchased properties from them. A good builder will not only provide you with a quality apartment but also ensure that you have a hassle-free buying experience.
Amenities
When it comes to buying a 3 BHK flat in Gurgaon, amenities play a significant role in the decision-making process. Consider the amenities that the builder is offering such as swimming pool, gym, clubhouses, children's play area, and others. These amenities not only add value to your lifestyle but also increase the resale value of your property. Choose a builder who offers a good mix of amenities that caters to the needs of all age groups.
Budget
Budget is another crucial factor that you need to consider before buying a 3 BHK apartment in Gurgaon. Set a budget that you are comfortable with and stick to it. Consider the total cost of the apartment, including registration charges, stamp duty, and other miscellaneous charges. You can also check if the builder offers any discounts or payment plans that are suitable for your budget. It is also advisable to factor in the maintenance cost of the apartment, which includes the monthly maintenance charges, electricity bills, and other expenses.
Legal Documentation
Before investing in a 3 BHK flat in Gurgaon, it is essential to check the legal documentation of the property. Ensure that the property has all the necessary approvals from the concerned authorities such as the Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA), the Municipal Corporation of Gurgaon (MCG), and the Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP). It is also important to check the builder-buyer agreement carefully and seek legal advice if required. A good builder will always provide you with transparent and clear documentation, making the buying process hassle-free.
In conclusion, buying a 3 BHK apartment in Gurgaon requires careful consideration of various factors such as location, builder reputation, amenities, budget, and legal documentation. By keeping these factors in mind, you can make an informed decision and choose the best apartment in Gurgaon that meets your requirements. Remember to do thorough research, compare different options, and seek expert advice before making the final decision. With the right approach, you can find your dream home in Gurgaon and enjoy a comfortable and luxurious lifestyle.

Hi Reddit!
I (23F) currently live with my girlfriend of 7 years who I'll refer to as Jane, 17 chickens, 2 cats and 5 pet rats on a 2.000-ish acre land in southwestern Colorado (near Durango). I've been through witness protection twice and most recently was falsely accused of a crime (acquitted about 2 1/2 weeks after being arrested). I was forced to take my first life in self-defense at age 18 (burglars armed with knives and what was later found to be a BB gun (looked identical to a real handgun unless looked at up close) broke into my house while my mother was at the grocery store. My late father had gifted me a Glock 19 just a few months before the break-in. It ended up saving my life that day, as the burglars definitely seemed ready to kill.) I took my second life at 20 when I was raped while walking home (I had just moved to Denver from Grand Junction at the time). While I can't tell you exactly why I've been through witness protection twice, I can tell you it was organized crime related.
I am a software developer by trade and I do graphic design, animation, landscape photography, and video production on the side.
Because of my past, I am a wee bit security conscious. As such, I have a professionally installed alarm system as well as cameras covering most of the inside and the entire outside of my house, cameras covering the roads on my property, and some rather advanced intrusion detection equipment covering the entire perimeter of the property. Essentially, no one can get in or out without being detected.
I own a couple of Canon and Nikon DSLRs, a shit ton of lenses and some filters. Some assorted GoPro models. A couple of DJI drones. Osmo Action, Pocket and Mobile. Ronin 4D, stabilizer, and misc. accessories. Assorted microphones, hard drives, drawing tablets, at least 10 old desktop computers, dozens of monitors, and a good two dozen old laptops. I also have at least one of nearly every model iPhone, iPad, Watch, iPod, iBook, iMac, Mac Pro, Mac mini and MacBook. Other valuable items of note include 8 e-scooters, 3 e-bikes, a hoverboard and a one-wheel that I don't use anymore because I broke my arm the last time I used it.
Because of the hideous amount of tech I own, I catalogue every item in a database so I can keep track of what's where, what works and doesn't work, what I'm planning on selling or tossing, etc. I keep whatever I'm not actively using in the storage room. There are cameras monitoring the outside of both doors, so no one can come or go without my seeing them. The storage room was originally going to be two guest bedrooms and thus never had cameras or motion detectors inside.
Now, the "exciting" part;
I left in January on a trip to my native Germany to visit family and got back on 1. March. Jane came with me and the pets stayed at a friend's house in the Springs. While I was gone, the security system was in 'Away' mode meaning I, the security company, and the police are to be called if the alarm is tripped and the correct code and fingerprint aren't entered within a certain amount of time. I the cameras to record 24/7.
During the trip, I never was notified of the alarm being triggered and it only went offline once for exactly 1 minute and 42 seconds during a power outage before the generator turned on (and even then, only the cameras went out, the motion detectors have built-in backup batteries). I inventoried every item of tech before leaving, so I know it was all there when I left.
Upon arriving home, something felt off. I can't explain what exactly it was, but something definitely wasn't right. The next morning, I went to retrieve my Mac studio and a drawing tablet from the storage room so I could do some drawing to relax but found the tablet I wanted to be missing. I spent hours searching through the entire storage room and even more time scouring the house for it. Because ADHD, I got distracted mid-way through searching the house when I found a burnt-out light bulb and just had to change it.
After searching the house and turning up nothing, I decided to (with the help of Jane) re-inventory the entire storage room. After performing the inventory, I found at least 20 items missing, totalling well over 5.000 US$. After discovering the missing items, I immediately called the police but they refused to do anything about it until I had solid evidence of a crime being committed. And thus I began the lengthy process of scrubbing through every minute of security footage from the time I was gone. It took a good week, but I managed to get through every minute of it. I didn't find a single instance of motion besides animals and birds. I checked the event log for the motion detectors and contact sensors during the power outage, but no motion events were recorded.
I (and Jane) have searched nearly every square foot of all 4 floors of my house and I still can't find the missing tech. I have no idea what the hell is going on. I can't get the cops to do anything, I can't find anything. There must be a logical explanation for all of this but I can't figure it out for the life of me.
Please help 🙏

Dear Diary,

I was right, they are getting a whole new penal ship to deal with how many convicts are being made. The current mayor is trying to get us to turn over the convicts to the Jecauvian justice system. The people got even more mad about that. Something about hurting kids makes them not true Jecau in the first place, and not deserving protection. Protection from what? It's not like we're going to space the pickpockets or muggers. Just a few months of hard work at an unpleasant task for them. Only murderers and kidnappers have to worry about their lives, and not even the mayor isn't talking about those convicts. The penal ship will be here in a week, and hopefully we'll be gone by then. Did this gang really think we'd just do what they wanted after they attacked us like this? Don't they read history? Like, come on. How dumb can you get?
Interestingly, now that Dr. Doofus has a proper barrister, he's begging to enter a guilty plea. He's practically begging to talk to somebody with authority to go after the poachers. Turns out that he had gang connections, but not the kind that make him more guilty. One of the kids rescued was apparently the heir to his clan, and there are a lot of them on station happy to have the freedom to talk to the authorities now. I can't imagine what it must have been like for him to live with that kind of threat over him all of the time, and no power to deal with it. So that makes our lives a whole lot simpler. It's gross that they let it get this bad. They couldn't even join a better ship so long as the gangers had their clan heir.
Daddy commed back this morning, and Yoiv talked to him. He was upset that Greg was out scouting, so wasn't there to talk, but Daddy says that he's doing just fine with the stress. It makes sense from his story, but I'm still worried. It was good for Yoiv to see Daddy and Uncle Yaem were okay though. He said that the guys the other ships sent were good fighters, better than him. Well, Daddy's a good captain, that's not the same as being a good fighter, but he still rescued all of those kids before the other ships could put together their away teams. The We Sing might get a Star Mark for that. I hope Daddy doesn't refuse.
Still, Yoiv has reverted to wanting to go everywhere holding hands. He hasn't been like this since he was three, and I guess getting ripped away by a ganger would do that. I told him that Sneaky beat up that ganger so bad that he'll never kidnap anyone ever again, and that helped a little. I hope he can recover from it, he was SUPER brave on the planet, and we're all VERY proud of him. We tell him so, but there's something bothering him that he won't talk about.
The good news is that the gangers are surrendering in droves and droves. Possibly because they hope to let all of the justice fall on their leaders, or maybe they just don't like what it means to get in a real fight. Even pirates would have held out longer. Then again, Daddy says Sneaky thinks their tactics were dumb, so maybe they just didn't understand what they got themselves into.
Tomorrow. Please, let everything go back to normal tomorrow.

Log: 6000001.0.17, Personal, Captain Yormdrill

They broke.
We ambushed another large patrol, and the other squadrons took another, and directly after that, three lieutenants lead somewhere between three and four hundred men in a surrender to us, while the other squadrons received five captured lieutenants. It seemed that the lower levels of the gang had finally understood that this was not a law enforcement crackdown that they could scare off with a show of force, or a turf war with another gang that they could win by denying territory. We had come to get them, and their leaders in particular. Some of whom had realized that facing a Magistrate was preferable to taking a plasma bolt to the head the moment they caught a glimpse of the open sky.
One of them was weeping, or rather making a keening noise of relief and grief as they do not have tear ducts, and gazing at the local star. I didn't realize that denying people the sight of their sky could have such a profound impact on the psyche. I suspect Gregory had expected it.
After that, the sizes of the patrols was so small that Gregory ordered the supporting squadrons to hold their fire on the opening salvos of the ambush, to give the gangers a chance to surrender once they realized they were under attack. They invariably took the opportunity, such that Gregory ordered that all but one, himself in our case, Red Leader in the other, hold their fire in case that was enough to encourage a surrender. We disarmed thirteen patrols after inflicting a single casualty, and most of those not lethal.
Then, a group of three lieutenants surrendered with a captured "shot caller." We found them waiting, almost five hundred gangers were kneeling in a park (or what used to be a park at one point I could see some run-down play equipment in one corner) with their weapons in a heap a good thirty paces away from the closest ganger, while the lieutenants covered the female with pistols. Gregory instructed the low level gangers to march in a direction away from our area of operation, and once they were a good five blocks away, they began to split up to likely go to ground with either family or unaffiliated peers.
I spoke to one of the surrendering lieutenants, and he had confirmed that the gang's morale had broken. The mere thought of something as adorable as Gregory lurking in the shadows just waiting to take their heads off had been terrifying enough for over two thirds of the gang's lower members to suddenly be too "sick" to leave home.
The difference in treatment between those officers turned over by their men, and those who had surrendered of their own will was made evident in the view of those low level men being released. So long as they were cooperative, Gregory insisted that they not be physically moved at all, and he instructed that their cells should be furnished with a bed, and be given hot meals. "Honor should be met with honor, even from criminals," he said when someone from Green squad objected. Those who were turned over were treated with deliberate roughness, and Gregory took an opportunity to strike a few of them, which with his strength was likely vey painful.
The surrendering officers were more than willing to provide images taken from inside the building, which we used to create an almost complete map, and information on where further hostages were being kept. It was well that we did not leave yet. It would be wrong to leave innocents in their vile clutches.
The assault begins tomorrow, and apparently the remaining two shot callers and seven lieutenants only have a remaining fifty of their most fanatically loyal subordinates left. Gregory has cautioned us that these are the most dangerous, and least likely to surrender. We assault the building tomorrow.
Almost home.

Oftentimes i'm annoyed how hard it is to coordinate with my faction in a strategic and tactical way.
Platoons are well equiped with leadership, chat and drawing on the map, and not just sector vision but map wide vision of platoon players. But how about all the other players?
Non-platoon and casual players could use some QoL upgrades for strategic coordination. I think it would improve the game for new and veteran players AND make the game less daunting when first playing it, leading to new player rentention ($$$).
Goals (What i would like):

1. More strategic layer of communication options for the whole faction, including the solo's or the non-platooned players.
2. More ways to globally mark stuff on the map for whole faction.
3. Democratically voting on obectives ( Additional type of assault or defence marker based on votes). This leads to emergent gameplay and strategy making
4. Make strategy somethign everyone can participate in
5. Make it visually appealing and easy to use
6. Enable whole faction to communicate in a basic way. Not just the squad leads

Ideas brainstorm (How we might implement the goals):

• Public viewable faction slowchat
  
• When a player creates a [special waypoint], it would appear on the map for all players in the area, regardless of whether they are in a platoon or outfit. This would allow players to coordinate with each other without having to join a specific group.
  
• Players could also be able to see the number of players who have accepted a waypoint, and their class and loadout information, to help them choose a role that complements the team's strategy. Lets say you put a vehicle assault market down and ask for 2 sunderers and 8 tanks. People could see who acknowledges this order with what vehicle.
  
• Additionally, players could have the option to vote on the most important objectives or waypoints, which would highlight them on the map and give them additional rewards for contributing to the team's success.
  
• These systems should ideally be tied into the map visually by using different colored icons and text to differentiate between different types of objectives, and by animating the icons when a player marks a waypoint or when it is completed. It could also be integrated with the game's chat/sound system, allowing players to communicate with each other directly or by pre defined audio chat.
  

These are just some ideas, wonder what you guys think.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂
And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎

A few days ago, I saw a post claiming that men with SA had it worse, and as a result of the conflict it brought up, another saying that no, women with SA had it worse. In response, I wrote a post with a poll to gather some data to get an idea of what the actual situation might be.
It didn't get as much attention as I might have liked, and got more downvotes than upvotes (40% positive), which hurts, and which I'm guessing is because it was perceived as fanning the flames of the gender war or something (OR MAYBE I'M JUST A TERRIBLE PERSON AND EVERYONE HATES ME AND-... go the demons in my head).
(Actually, I just noticed that "No gender olympics posts" is literally a rule here. I didn't know that before! Hopefully this post is at least interesting enough to be allowed since I'm not saying one group has it worse??)
Still, the poll got 188 votes, which is a larger sample size than a whole lot of Psychology studies. I've turned the data into some rather striking pie charts...
...That I can't post here because this sub doesn't allow images. Fair enough. Here's a link, at least: https://ibb.co/GdY0sNg
To summarise, the question was "how many partners have you had?", with "partner" meaning either someone you'd been in a romantic relationship with OR someone you'd had sex with. The results show that:
​
60% of males with SA had never had a partner, and 52% of females with SA had never had one.
20% of males had had one partner, and 20% had had multiple, whereas for females, 33% had had multiple vs 15% who'd only had one.
​
As such, according to this limited data set, men with SA are only slightly less likely to find partners than women with SA, but women with SA who do find partners are about twice as likely to have multiple.
​
In my experience - especially as a man with SA myself - it's the struggle to find female attention at all that makes many men feel SA is a harsher curse for them than it is for women. You could say these data support that, but the difference is only very slight (8%); we're more alike than not. We all struggle with this condition.
I suspect it's just the most successful and the most attractive who draw our eyes, and who we unfairly compare to, when there are a huge number of invisible people who just aren't being factored into the equation when thinking about this stuff.
Hopefully this post is interesting and not in need of deletion, though I'll brace myself mentally for if it is. My hope is that data like this can help us all realise we're in this together, and that nothing good comes from believing that one group has it better or worse. It's helped calmed some of my own bitterness and frustration about this perceived imbalance, at the very least.

As eCommerce becomes a more popular method of doing business, an increasing number of businesses are looking to build their eCommerce websites. However, with so many platforms and options available, it can be difficult to know where to begin.
The eCommerce industry has grown interestingly during the global pandemic. Electronic commerce refers to the buying or selling of goods electronically using an online marketplace or the Internet. Computers, tablets, smartphones, and other smart gadgets can be used to do e-commerce. E-commerce transactions make almost any good or service accessible, including books, music, airline tickets, and stock trading.
The growing demand for convenience is driving the emergence of a digital-first culture, which is causing a rapid expansion of the e-commerce sector. According to analysis worldwide, e-commerce sales will reach US $6.3 trillion in 2023, supporting this upward growth trend.
This growth opens up a massive market for companies looking to sell their goods or services online. Traditional brick-and-mortar companies are quickly embracing change and creating online outlets for their interests, while some still have physical stores.
Businesses need to be nimble, to stay ahead of the competition and focus on the best tactics to accommodate the latest developments. In this article, we will discuss How you can start your e-commerce store and what strategies you can use to enhance your e-commerce store.

How To Start A Successful E-commerce Business?

Step 1: Choose the most effective e-Commerce solution

The first step in launching an eCommerce business is determining what products or services you will provide. This can be difficult, especially if you don't know what kinds of online products people want to buy. Conduct some research to determine what people are looking for. Once you've decided what you're going to sell, you can begin creating product listings and designing your store.
Before you begin designing your store or adding products, you must first determine who your target audience is, and it will assist you in deciding what products to sell, how to market your store, and how to lure your target audience through website design.

Step 2: Decide the type of e-commerce you want to start after researching e-commerce models.

Given the size and level of competition in the modern e-commerce market, it is crucial to plan your e-commerce company model. There are four fundamental kinds:

• Business-to-customer (B2C)

A typical business strategy in which an organization sells products to customers, starting from spices to shoes. B2C companies like Amazon, Walmart, and Alibaba can sell several brands under one roof.

• Business-to-business (B2B)

Businesses sell goods or services to other businesses, in business-to-business (B2B) models. Orders frequently involve repeat purchasing. Rakuten, Alibaba, and Amazon Business are a few examples.

• Customer-to-customer (C2C) models

Online marketplaces that link consumers to trade products and services are a common feature of C2C models. Online C2C companies like Craigslist, Etsy, and eBay are available.

• Customer-to-business (C2B)

In a C2B transaction, people provide their products and services to businesses. Upwork, which enables companies to recruit independent contractors, is a good example.

Step 3: Plan Your Business.

You are prepared to create a business plan after laying the groundwork for it. The written document outlines your goals and a path for operations, finance, and marketing. It can help you arrange yourself and draw in possible investors.
Discover the market environment and present rivals for your product or service by conducting some research.

Step 4: Choose a company name and begin developing your brand.

Your company requires a name and a distinct brand identity next. The brand is essential to the success of your company if you are beginning a white-label e-commerce business.
Though it might be enjoyable, picking a company name necessitates some strategic consideration. You should make sure the web domain, social media handles, and legal name are all available in addition to having a distinctive yet simple name that accurately describes your product. Do your homework to ensure that it is culturally inclusive, especially if you want to expand internationally.

Step 5: Incorporate Your Company

Before starting your firm, you must register it by deciding on a legal structure, requesting an employment identification number (EIN), and acquiring any further permits and licenses required by the business model you have chosen.

Step 6: Create a website for your online store.

The next stage is constructing an e-commerce website when the necessary paperwork has been signed and your company has been duly registered. Your company's website serves as the "storefront" where customers can come, browse, and add products to their shopping carts. Your success depends on the operation of your company website.

Step 7: Choose the platform

It is difficult to choose the best eCommerce platform for your business. Any business owner must take into account numerous crucial platforms such as Shopify, Bogcommerce, WooCommerce, etc., given the abundance of options.
Choosing the ideal platform for your business will be crucial to determine its success. You can choose the best platform that can help you with your e-commerce development process. To simplify the process, you can reach out to web developers of Hyperlink InfoSystem to leverage their expertise and knowledge about the perfect web development platform.

Step 8: Find suppliers and create your goods or services.

You can start adding the names, descriptions, and images of your products once you've put up a prototype of your website. Additionally, you'll need to acquire your products, whether that entails developing them yourself in production or sourcing them from a wholesaler.
You should make enough inventory, if you're a craftsperson, to last the first several months. This could entail producing 20 pottery pots in each color and size or one of each color and size of a garment line. This figure will fluctuate based on your labor capacity and your marketing approach, such as how much traffic you're bringing to the launch of your website.
After that, logistics including branded packaging, warehousing, shipping, and inventory management will need to be set up.

Step 9: Start your business and market it.

Once your firm has been established, you can start tracking your metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) as it expands. To increase visitors to your brand, keep experimenting with different digital marketing strategies.
You'll want to make sure that your shipping and fulfillment operate successfully for every customer among the inventory management, logistics, and marketing. It is a good idea to create backup plans in case something goes wrong.
These are the steps to start an e-commerce business. You can follow these steps to build your e-commerce company.
If you want to build a successful e-commerce brand, we will explain how you build the best e-commerce brand. E-commerce website development is the best thing. With an e-commerce website, you can raise your business. Moreover, it helps market your brand and services.
Now that we have established the concept of e-commerce brands, let's discuss what factors you should consider for E-commerce development.

Factors to Consider For E-commerce Development

We have outlined successful e-commerce strategies that can help you develop your eCommerce brand. They are necessary for any e-commerce company that wishes to differentiate itself from the competition.
Take a look at some powerful techniques for building your eCommerce brand;

• Put Emphasis On Product Quality

In all honesty, modern buyers won't tolerate inferior goods! The most well-known and well-liked eCommerce businesses produce and market high-quality products and services.
If you are starting a new eCommerce brand, you may focus on just one premium product. This is because it is simpler to give your product's overall quality and performance more attention.

• Deliver Top-Notch Customer Service

Customers are what drive a business to success. Because without customers, you don't have a business! Giving feedback is made easier for customers by excellent customer service. It enables you to understand what your clients are considering and how you may improve their lives.
Responding to customer complaints will assist your eCommerce brand in figuring out where its business is falling short.
Moreover, Chatbots are revolutionizing e-commerce and empowering companies to provide superior purchasing experiences. The use of AI chatbots in business is rapidly expanding. By 2024, the global market for chatbots will be worth more than $1.3 billion, predicts Global Market Insights. Chatbots streamline a broad matrix of complex interactions and advance enterprises as part of a larger transition to automate corporate processes and technologies that support customer care in the e-commerce sector.

• Brand Integrity

To effectively represent the brand in daily operations, your eCommerce brand should have a single narrative and a unified identity. A crucial step in achieving consistency across all mediums is creating style guides.
Avoid employing several styles or voices when representing brands with all available tools. They have the potential to erode consumer confidence and render your brand generic. Develop a website that reflects your brand voice with the help of a web designer who understands your brand voice.

• Target Market

Any eCommerce business must focus on the correct core population to be successful. For you to connect with their demands, you must accurately define your target market's reachable size and availability.
A new eCommerce company may be tempted to think that any web user is a potential customer. Despite being optimistic, it might not be feasible.
A vast resource that is increasingly gaining in popularity is social media. There has never been a better opportunity for an eCommerce business to leverage social media platforms for brand building.
An eCommerce company might establish a social media profile that emphasizes engagement and client support. You can hire web developers with prior experience that can understand your target audience and build a website accordingly.

Success E-commerce Strategies In 2023

Among the many successful e-commerce strategies and trends to watch in 2023, here are the top ones:

1) Mobile Friendly

According to mobile-focused marketing strategies, they are on their phones when you need to reach your clients. According to Statista, By 2025, it is estimated that the value of e-commerce retail sales will reach 8.5 trillion U.S. dollars on a global scale. Therefore, for e-commerce firms to remain competitive, you must optimize your consumer experience for mobile.
With huge font sizes and buttons, a mobile-friendly e-commerce site will always adapt to the user's screen size. It loads quickly and has a simple design. Order updates, automatic two-way interactions for things like product recommendation quizzes, and accessibility to customer care can all enhance the customer experience.

2) Customer - First Policies

Customers are more likely to try your items when you have customer-first rules in place, which helps to increase customer satisfaction. For the customer's financial protection if the product is a failure, don't forget to offer free shipping and returns. Customers will feel more at peace and have more time to decide if there is a 30-day or longer return period.
By implementing a guarantee, businesses may assure that customers can easily return or exchange a product if they are dissatisfied with it or if it malfunctions. This can be crucial because consumers are becoming pickier about where and how they spend their money. Furthermore, it will allay any worries concerning product durability.

3) Omnichannel Approach

An omnichannel approach is yet another amazing strategy for e-commerce businesses. You might have heard about this so many times all these years. One of the reasons omnichannel is going to rule 2023 is its sales-focused approach.
Omnichannel offers tons of benefits for various segments whether you consider it for marketing, Sales, or even service strategies. It allows you to offer unique user experience and customer support through multiple channels such as the website, social media, phone, live chat support, and more while streaming all of them together.
Omnichannel allows your customers to reach out to you through the medium they are most comfortable with rather them forcing them to choose one of the assigned ways only. All you have to keep in mind is to keep your customer data synchronized through all the channels. It will not only allow you to offer a unique user experience but will also minimize the chances of rework you might have to do to manage the customer data.

4) Personalization

Another tenet of a successful eCommerce strategy is personalization. If you want to stand out in a crowded market, make sure your company customizes the buying experience for your customers. This can be done in a variety of ways, such as making product recommendations based on their previous purchasing patterns or sending them tailored discounts and offers.
Another way to personalize the purchasing experience is to use consumer information to create a more specialized experience on your website or mobile app. You could, for example, use their location to display items relevant to them or their purchasing history to display comparable goods that they might be interested in.

5) Google Local Inventory Ads(LIA)

There is no denying that over the past few years, Google LIA has grown in popularity. In 20 nations, including Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK, and the US, Google has launched this project since it began in 2017.
Your eCommerce company needs to take action as Google keeps expanding its project to more and more nations. Check to check if Google LIA is available in your country.

6) Artificial Intelligence (AI)

The ability of eCommerce businesses to provide better client experiences and come up with innovative solutions is significantly impacted by AI. There is a lot of potential for AI solutions to assist eCommerce businesses with their daily operations and make them more focused and effective.
According to a HubSpot poll, many AI solutions are now so simple and convenient that 63% of people need to be made aware they use them. This demonstrates that you may inadvertently utilize AI without your users realizing it on your eCommerce website.
Your clients will be more likely to choose the proper item the first time if AR is used to preview products. Additionally, AR enables online shoppers to preview goods or use services in their own space and at their own pace before deciding whether to make a purchase. The realm of augmented reality shopping could appear to be a sci-fi future. However, firms are already utilizing augmented reality to market items.
We have discussed the above key e-commerce trends to look out for in 2023 based on the global e-commerce market.

Conclusion

The first hurdle is setting up your internet store; the second is expanding it. Consider incorporating some of these trends into your online plans for 2023 if you want to outperform the competition and make your store stand out from the crowd.
You do not have to make a significant investment in something that you are not confident will succeed. Try to start small with a limited number of clients and then iterate from there.
Customer experience is the one overarching trend that all others fall into in some fashion. You must give your customers the finest possible experience. Having a website that looks excellent on all devices, providing them with enough ways to finish their transaction, or providing total transparency and flexibility with their delivery options are just a few examples.
With the proper e-commerce growth strategy, your brand can adapt to the shifting global e-commerce market and prosper in the upcoming year. To optimize the customer experience, integrate your marketing and customer service software ecosystem. To help you develop your plan, use time-tested capabilities like automatic two-way chats, dynamic audience segments, and white glove services.

Hi dear Seekers,
I've been practicing Tarot for a while now, but there's a challenge I need help with.
A non predictive school of Tarot has been my thing since I started. I'm closer to a Jungian approach to reading and symbol working, usually guiding sessions as reflective work conducted through the cards. This secular approach to Tarot has helped me reach people that would usually be put off by the "mumbo jumbo" that is sometimes related to our practice.
Thing is, I got hired to read the cards to a group of people. They are a team of four, and the idea of the reading is to help clarify/give guidance on their team project. This means that the group should be treated as one entity for the effects of the reading (not opposed to the cards pointing towards individuals in the group).
Does anyone have experience with readings like this? Is there any advice you could give me? So far I'm thinking about doing 3 questions/readings for about 30-40 mins each. I usually read with 9 or 12 cards and I'm thinking that maybe 12 is better (each person could draw 3 cards then, for instance). I'm a little bit lost since I want to make everyone feel involved, so any lights on the matter are helpful.
If it helps, I read with the Uusi deck Pagan Otherworlds, and use the Supra Oracle deck as a support deck that helps clarify the reading. I'm planning on having a 5 minute or so short session with each individual, to calculate their natal Arcana, but besides that everything should happen "to the group".
Thanks everyone for their help and support and happy Spring/Autumn.
