It's only been a few days since some interesting GTA VI gameplay was leaked. The leak, which was authenticated by Rockstar Games, confirmed the location to be Vice City, and that there would be male and female protagonists. Some eagle-eyed viewers noticed something about GTA Online, though. What they found was an art asset that seemed quite familiar. A texture asset specifically.
Those viewers of the leak video noticed a Vice City Metro sticker in the Arena War update for Grand Theft Auto Online that hit a while back. ViceCityMetroMule GTAO White Back Art Asset from Grand Theft Auto Online showing the Vice City Metro Mule Logo
The original tweet no longer displays the side by side imagery, unfortunately. The Arena War Update for Grand Theft Auto Online was release four years ago after all. While this is interesting, it is not uncommon for developers to re-use assets, especially if there isn't a significant change to the artwork. Asset re-use can shorten development time in most cases and it is not limited to video games. Many people are familiar with the "Pixar Easter Eggs" in that film studio's pieces. It's an excellent way to not waste development cycles on things like debris and common texture work that is repeated throughout the virtual worlds -- whether in games or movies.
It is also not uncommon for Rockstar to hide Easter eggs in their games that may reference other games in the same series, or different titles altogether. Bully even included a Grand Theft Auto vehicle asset in its shop class. Sometimes the developers just throw in things to drive community interest, such as the inclusion of Bigfoot in a later patch of GTA V. Another fun Easter egg is known as the "Mount Chiliad Mystery." When it was found, players suspected it meant there was a jetpack somewhere in GTA V -- there wasn't -- but one eventually appeared in a GTA Online Mission

It's definitely an interesting inclusion, but it's certainly not the only reference to Vice City within GTA V and GTA Online. There's an entire wiki article on Vice City related Easter eggs on the fan wiki for Grand Theft Auto. Still, this particular metro logo was not seen until GTA Online, and now in the unauthorized leak, so in a way, players had confirmation Vice City would be used in GTA VI, if they were paying attention and connected the dots.

Does anyone use trains to get cims around your city? It seems to make sense that they should be used for intercity transport and then change to metro and/or mono to get around the city with trams and buses for more local travel but I have a couple of train stations and it seems to be working although it may be oversubscribed.

I'd like to apply through Moneymax, but I was wondering if after your citi cc has been approved, were there like random text messages (promos) you start to receive from different banks?

Hi everyone,
I've been closely monitoring the real estate market in the Middle East, particularly in Dubai, and I've noticed some recent developments that could potentially impact property prices in the region. With higher interest rates in banks and Saudi Arabia now allowing foreigners to own properties, I'm curious to hear your thoughts on how these factors may affect Dubai's real estate market.
First, let's talk about the higher interest rates. As we know, higher interest rates generally increase the cost of borrowing, which could lead to reduced demand for properties as mortgages become more expensive. This, in turn, may put downward pressure on property prices in Dubai, as fewer people may be able to afford or be interested in purchasing real estate.
Secondly, Saudi Arabia's recent decision to allow foreigners to own properties is a significant move that could potentially shift some demand from Dubai to Saudi Arabia. Historically, Dubai has been the go-to destination for foreign investors in the region, but with this new policy, Saudi Arabia may now emerge as a strong competitor. This change could lead to a redistribution of foreign investment, potentially causing a slowdown in Dubai's property market and a decrease in property prices.
However, it's essential to consider that Dubai has built a strong reputation as an international business hub and a prime real estate investment destination over the years. The city offers numerous advantages such as a stable political environment, world-class infrastructure, and a diverse, cosmopolitan population. These factors may still attract foreign investors and keep demand for properties relatively strong despite the higher interest rates and increased competition from Saudi Arabia.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this topic. Do you think that these recent developments will lead to a decrease in Dubai property prices? How do you think the real estate market in the region will evolve in the coming years?
Looking forward to an insightful discussion!

Late Monday, Jerusalem time, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced he was temporarily suspending action by the Knesset, the Israeli parliament, on his plan to carry out what amounts to a coup against the country’s judicial system, the only arm of the state that his ultra-right coalition does not control.
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2023/03/28/pers-m28.html
Netanyahu made this tactical retreat in the face of the largest outpouring of popular opposition in the history of Israel, with massive street protests Sunday culminating in a full-scale walkout Monday by vast sections of the Israeli working class. Airports, shipping, transport, manufacturing, utilities, schools, day care centers, universities and virtually all government operations were affected. Israeli embassies all over the world were closed, and the Israeli consul general in New York City resigned.
The turn toward violent repression and dictatorship in Israel is part of a global process. As demonstrated in recent months in France and Sri Lanka, in both imperialist powers and impoverished and oppressed countries, the ruling class sees no way out of the social and political crisis of world capitalism except through such methods. The safety switches of democracy are burning out, and the two major classes in modern society, the capitalists and the working class, are confronting each other in open struggle.
It is impossible for Jewish workers and youth to defend their democratic rights under conditions where the Palestinian population of Israel and the occupied territories remains under savage military repression and increasingly brazen vigilante and settler violence. There cannot be military dictatorship in the West Bank and Gaza and democracy within Israel.
We repeat again the formulation of the Fourth International in 1948: Our perspective is “for the merging of Jewish workers’ struggles with the social, national and liberationist struggles of the Arab toilers.”
The events of the past weeks have put paid to the notion that the Jewish workers of Israel are somehow different from their class brothers and sisters around the world, including the Arab workers of Palestine. The central issue is to overcome the reactionary Zionist leadership of the protest movement and fight for the unity of Arab and Jewish workers in a common struggle to defend jobs, living standards and democratic rights, including the national rights of the Palestinian people. This can only be done on the basis of the program and perspective of international socialism.

If Apple does a pre-approval soft pull, you get pre approved, you wait to accept the offer so no hard pull happens, then you go to for example, Citi bank for a credit card and they do a hard pull, will Apple see the hard pull when you accept their offer and they do their hard pull?
Would this cause them to retract their pre-approval offer?

​
No experience necessary for the laborer custodial or maintenance mechanic positions. It helps on the interview but you can surely think of maintenance related experience to relay for an interview. Based on fixing things around your house, the car etc. Always mention working safely.
​
Pro tip: You can apply for any job that has an exam opening and the test is administered local to yourself. Make sure you're serious and score decently; you can turn down the job offer. Keep a physical copy of your exam score, I believe they are good for two years.
The reason is: These job postings can be posted externally at capacity for testing, meaning they will not allow you to take the exam if they have enough qualified applicants. However, if you have a test score on the books, you are a qualified applicant.
​
Explanation of MVO/TTO to save time:
MVO= CDL B Can only drive box trucks on public roads, can drive anything for moves on postal property.
TTO= CDL A Can drive anything.
​
USPS provides the training. (Maintenance jobs at least. TTO and management...GOOD LUCK)
​
You don't have to be crazy to work here. We'll train you. Everything but proper email usage.

If you are in immediate danger, please call 911. ^{Some of these resources have been previously posted on this subreddit and are also included in this list.}

In light of the recent posts sharing their stories and experiences, I wanted to create a list of resources for students and their loved ones to hopefully get connected and find support through whatever it is they are going through.
I am a volunteer advocate with PAVSA, so some of these resources may be physically located in Northern Minnesota, but I made sure to include local and remote resources as well.
Feel free to contact me with questions or to share some information and I will update this post if I find any other resources.

Font Converter for Dyslexia

For a long time I only understood that getting credit cards was helpful because higher credit limit = less utilization = better credit score, but after starting to watch some of John's Finance Tips on YouTube (and especially after hearing him talk about the Bilt Mastercard) I realized that I should be looking at rewards to optimize my spending. I did carry some hefty balances (hence the sub optimal credit score), but I plan to use my tax return to take care of that and then never make that mistake again.
What cards should I close/get?
Current Cards:
-Citi Shop Your Way Mastercard, Limit 5,500, Opened 4 years, 10 months ago
-Capital One Venture One, Limit 5,000, Opened 6 years, 8 months ago
-Discover it Cashback, Limit 5,100, Opened 11 years, 6 months ago
-Bank of America Travel Rewards, Limit 1,400, Opened 3 years, 9 months ago
-Apple card, Limit 2,750, Opened 11 months ago
-Best Buy Mastercard, Limit 2,000, Opened 5 months ago
-Chase Freedom card, Limit 6,400, Opened 3 years, 9 months ago
-Bilt Mastercard, Limit 3,000, Opened this month
-Upgrade Triple Cash, Limit 1,000, Opened this month (have a surgery coming up)
FICO 694 (Experian)
Oldest account age: 11 years, 6 months
Chase 5/24 rule: 4/24
Income: $115,000
Average monthly spend (rough estimate the past 3 months) Rent: $865 Student loans: $708.62 Groceries: $650 (average) Electricity: $320 (average) Dining: $250 (average) Gas: $250 (average) Phone bills: $50.74 Internet: $77.63 Others: $100
Open to business cards: no
Purpose of next card: optimize spending
Cards I've been looking at: Amex blue cash everyday and Citi custom cash for groceries, but I often get some groceries at target or Walmart
Category vs general spending: I think category spending will be more profitable but again I'm here to learn so I don't want to say I wouldn't change tactics
My plans are to use Bilt for rent, dining out, and phone plans (set up to bill on the first of the month for double rewards), triple cash on utilities, car maintenance, and medical bills, and another card for groceries and then look at what existing cards I have that I should close.

I live in Calgary (city in Canada) and there is one Bank of China branch here. I hear it's not the most user-friendly bank and engaging them as a foreigner especially more difficult. I wanted to inquire about creating a bank account/business account, and they flat out told me I need to make an appointment and the earliest one they have dates all the way to August (writing on late March as we speak). I heard from a foreigner friend that they simply said someone responsible for dealing with his appointment back Feb got sick so they will reschedule and call back... never got called and when inquired they also pushed him to August.
But I do see Chinese clients coming in and out, so there must be some reason why they have clients. What is the advantage/niche BoC has that keeps some of the clients (mainly Chinese) coming?

I bought a $100 prepaid VISA gift card at Lowe's recently that was issued by MetaBank. I went ahead and ordered something online for around $35, and a day later I noticed there were two fraudulent charges on the card that totally used up the rest of my balance! Both charges were located in different cities, and the metadata on the transactions are weird. I didn't lose the card, so this was a hack job using some kind of phishing attack or possibly a data breach on the MetaBank servers?
Strangely enough, I purchased a previous MetaBank VISA gift card last July and that card was also showing some fraudulent charges, although in very small amounts so I didn't worry that much about it since the total fraud was like $7.00. Just based on these two incidents, I'm never buying a prepaid VISA card at Lowe's again!
Has anyone had problems with these MetaBank VISA gift cards? I usually buy prepaid VISA cards at Walmart but I noticed they take a day to activate and use, and the MetaBank cards can be used immediately after buying them.

Just wanted to spread a little positivity to those who feel like giving up because they've failed or they graduated so long ago. I graduated in May of 2018 and I'd say I was an average student grade-wise throughout nursing school but I was overwhelmed after graduating and decided to take a "break." This break then led to life happening: getting married, moving across the country, deciding to take my NCLEX on a whim 8 months after graduating with only having done MAYBE 60 questions max on UWorld thinking "I got this!"- I in fact did not "have this" and failed in about 189 questions. I convinced myself this was just a fluke and scheduled to retake it for the second time as soon as the 45 days passed. I started studying again, did more UWorld questions, was studying Saunders and had even signed up for the Kaplan review, but life happened once again and I was thrown a curveball in the form of a divorce. I spiraled into a depression but chose not to reschedule my exam and this time: I failed in 75. I moved back home and tabled nursing as I had to take care of myself and my mental health. The pandemic happened, went back into hospitality as this was what I knew and was even advancing career wise in my field. Yet I woke up one day and realized that while I was good at what I was doing, it wasn't the career I wanted and with support from my family & boyfriend- I quit my job in November of 2022 and began the process of getting my ATT again.
​
How I did it:
I began my journey studying in December by going to the library 5 days a week for 8 hours at a time. That first month I focused on reading Saunders Comprehensive review on the subjects I downright could not remember while I waited for my state to get back to me about my ATT. By early January when I was finally able to schedule my NCLEX and I knew I wanted to avoid the Next Gen so I scheduled for mid March in another city. At this point I stopped reading the Saunders book and found the Mark Klimex's audios and someones 91 pages of notes (whoever you are, THANK YOU.) I started every morning at the library by doing 60 UWorld questions and then STUDYING the shit out of the rationale, as in not moving on until I understood the "why" (by the end I filled an entire notebook on just UWorld notes.) Afterwards I'd take a 45 minute lunch outside and go right back inside to listen to one Klimex audio a day and follow along with the notes I printed and add my own alongside. When I finished all 12 audios I turned my second half of studying into watching all of Simple Nursings pharmacology videos and taking notes on each one as well. These are the notes I would read every night before bed. I built good testing habits and saw my UWorld scores go from below average in the 30's-40's to maintaining above average in the mid 60's and higher. A week and half before my test I had finished the entire UWorld question bank. I took this time to go over ALL my notes but also I slowed down on my 5-6 days at the library and truly relaxed- the weekend prior I went on a 2 night vacation and was just going over my notes for about 4ish hours a day. I drove to the city I'd be testing at the day prior to my NCLEX and re-listened to Klimex's lecture 12.
​
On the day of my exam I wasn't nervous, I didn't feel like I was going to throw up like I did the other two times. I walked into the testing center with a game plan: you're sitting for all 145 questions- no expectations, take your time and read EVERY question and answer choice, use the white board provided to "cross out" answer options, take a break every 40 questions, eat your snacks and just breathe. When I took my break at 40 questions I remember already being over an hour into the exam but I took my time to use the bathroom, eat some snacks I brought and just give myself words of affirmation because I was starting to internally freak out over the fact that the test felt too easy so far. I sat back down and when I saw question 70 I told myself "10 more and you can go eat another snack again!" You can imagine my face when it shut off at 75. Think Pikachu surprise face. I didn't let myself freak out because I truly felt like I KNEW what I was answering. Went out to dinner with some family in town that night and couldn't resist doing the Pearson Vue trick: I GOT THE GOOD POP-UP. I didn't want to get my hopes too high and was still waiting the 48 hours for the quick results. Turns out my boyfriend was looking for my name on my states BON and by 1PM the next day (24 hours after my test) my license was posted!
​
I officially passed 13 days ago, and received my license in the mail on Thursday and it still feels surreal. If you've read this far, I just want to say thank you and please believe in yourself, you WILL pass. One day at a time. There were days that I'd cut my studying short because I was overwhelmed but I learned it's about continuing to pick yourself up and believing in yourself, leaning on those who are there for you.
​
TL;DR: Graduated in May of 2018, life happened, took the NCLEX twice in 2019- failed both times. Fast forward 4ish years and realized I wasn't happy in my career field. Quit my job, studied full time, and passed my NCLEX in 75 question on March 15th. If you really want something, you CAN do it.

Key Facts

Official Name: Grand City of Kagrenac Demonym: Lindrenaccan Government: Elective Monarchy Capital: Lindrenac Religion: Dwarven Shaperate
Lindrenac is a nation in the Western Half of Greater Magdal, best known for its status as the last bastion of Dwarven sovereignty in the known world. Once a smaller city that constituted a fraction of the Dwarven empire, Lindrenac now stands alone, rising from the ashes of the past. The Grand city is populated almost exclusively by Dwarves, and its politics are infamous for being corrupt and cutthroat. The Houses of the Noble Caste are as ruthless as they are pretentious. Lindrenaccan craft goods are sought after throughout the entirety of the Isles, and the Merchant Caste knows this. The Nobles may bicker and squabble, as long as they don’t interfere in trade.

The Dwarven Castes

The Dwarves follow the same strict Caste system they have followed since time immemorial. It rules out the role of each group of Dwarves in society, their rights and their duties towards the good of The Stone. Mobility between Castes is rare, but possible. When a child is born to Parents of two separate Castes, they will be of the Caste of the parent that is considered the Highest in the Caste ladder, and the Parent of the lowest Caste will also be raised along with their children.
The Dwarven Castes (in descending order):
Noble Caste: The Dwarves of the Noble Caste constitute the ruling class of Dwarven Society. They staff the Kagrenaccan Assembly, a body that drafts and passes Laws, and elect the King of Lindrenac. Technically speaking, anyone can be elected by the Assembly to wear the Iron Crown, but custom dictates that the King also be of the Noble Caste. The Noble Houses that make up the Noble Caste are infamous for their violent bickering. It is not rare for a Noble Dwarf to be found dead on the streets of the Grand City after a heated debate in the Assembly chambers.
Warrior Caste: The Dwarves of the Warrior Caste constitute Guards, Gladiators, and Professional Soldiers. They make up the majority of Lindrenac’s standing army, and are the only ones allowed to be armed within the city (in paper, at least). Unlike most other Castes, any Dwarf that is willing may join the Warrior Caste by enlisting to serve in the army, or by competing in the gladiatorial combat of the Crystal Dome.
Shaper Caste: The closest equivalent to Clergy in Dwarven Society, the Shaper Caste is composed of Bureaucrats and Academic Scholars. They keep records of every Dwarven lineage, of their deeds and conquests, and of the History of their people. They withhold the codex of customs of Dwarven society, and preach the closest Dwarven equivalent to a religion, the Honored Paragons of The Stone.
Merchant Caste: The Dwarves of the Merchant Caste are the economical standing stone of the Grand city. Their network of banks and caravan companies brings Dwarven goods to the doorstep of nearly every foreign aristocrat, and they turn quite the profit margin. The Dwarves of the Merchant Caste may have a respect for tradition, but countless have been the times when the Merchants have ended a deadlock in the Assembly with a few well placed assassinations.
Artisan Caste: The Dwarves of the Artisan Caste are the smiths, carpenters, masons, and artificers of the Grand City. Their Guilds produce the goods that the Merchant Caste trades with, and as such, they have Historically relied on one another in the chaos that is Lindrenaccan Politics. They are also the crafters of the Golems, the revered Protectors carved out of The Stone herself.
Miner Caste: The Miner Caste is one of the few groups of Dwarves allowed unlimited access to the abandoned underground highways of the Dwarven Empire. They mine the coal that fuels the forges, the iron that makes the steel of the axes, and the gems that decorate the crowns of the aristocracy. The Miner Caste, despite its relatively low standing in the Caste ladder, enjoys a certain degree of leeway not experienced by many others in the City. Lindrenaccan economy is dependent on the wellbeing of the Miner Caste, and as such other Dwarves have learned to leave the Miners be.
Commoner Caste: The commoners are perhaps the most numerous Caste in the City. They make up the remainder of Dwarven Society, and are perhaps the group that foreigners visiting the City interact with the most. Bartenders, servants, caravaneers and farmers, the Commoners keep the City fed and well-stocked.
Casteless: The lowest of the low, the Casteless are Dwarves that have been stripped of their Caste. They are considered vagrants by the rest of their kin, living off the scraps out in the darker and more secluded corners of the Grand City. Many of the Casteless are descendants of the Dwarves that were originally stripped of their Caste, and have lived in squalor passed down through generations. The Criminal underground of the city is run in great part by Casteless Dwarves, and they are known to take care of their own. Despite their status, the remainder of the Dwarves know to leave a Casteless beggar alone.

Proudly Alone

As chaotic as Lindrenaccan politics are, there is one thing all Assembly members agree on: No foreigner shall meddle in the affairs of the Grand City. Entrance to the Assembly chambers by foreigners is strictly forbidden unless given permission by the King, and the Dwarves of the Noble Caste guard their secrets fiercely. This has Historically made the Grand City rather reclusive in the Greater Politics of the Isles, straying away from wars and all manner of conflict. Some foreign dignitaries consider it a boon to have a neutral party with which to do trade at all times. Others consider it cowardice. Nevertheless, this path has managed to sustain The Stone’s survival, and the Assembly sees no point in changing its ways.

It's only been a few days since some interesting GTA VI gameplay was leaked. The leak, which was authenticated by Rockstar Games, confirmed the location to be Vice City, and that there would be male and female protagonists. Some eagle-eyed viewers noticed something about GTA Online, though. What they found was an art asset that seemed quite familiar. A texture asset specifically.
Those viewers of the leak video noticed a Vice City Metro sticker in the Arena War update for Grand Theft Auto Online that hit a while back. ViceCityMetroMule GTAO White Back Art Asset from Grand Theft Auto Online showing the Vice City Metro Mule Logo
The original tweet no longer displays the side by side imagery, unfortunately. The Arena War Update for Grand Theft Auto Online was release four years ago after all. While this is interesting, it is not uncommon for developers to re-use assets, especially if there isn't a significant change to the artwork. Asset re-use can shorten development time in most cases and it is not limited to video games. Many people are familiar with the "Pixar Easter Eggs" in that film studio's pieces. It's an excellent way to not waste development cycles on things like debris and common texture work that is repeated throughout the virtual worlds -- whether in games or movies.
It is also not uncommon for Rockstar to hide Easter eggs in their games that may reference other games in the same series, or different titles altogether. Bully even included a Grand Theft Auto vehicle asset in its shop class. Sometimes the developers just throw in things to drive community interest, such as the inclusion of Bigfoot in a later patch of GTA V. Another fun Easter egg is known as the "Mount Chiliad Mystery." When it was found, players suspected it meant there was a jetpack somewhere in GTA V -- there wasn't -- but one eventually appeared in a GTA Online Mission

It's definitely an interesting inclusion, but it's certainly not the only reference to Vice City within GTA V and GTA Online. There's an entire wiki article on Vice City related Easter eggs on the fan wiki for Grand Theft Auto. Still, this particular metro logo was not seen until GTA Online, and now in the unauthorized leak, so in a way, players had confirmation Vice City would be used in GTA VI, if they were paying attention and connected the dots.
