I bought this new mouse as my old Logitech silent red mouse red button doesn't work always.
I am missing the option to quickly swap from device 1 to 2 and to 3 on the upper side....they made it below the mouse...but okay.
I also plugged in the USB hardware and wanted to sync my mouse and Logitech keyboard, but apparently that's not possible with my keyboard....
So back to using the old usb receiver and now the mouse can connect.....
Using the old receiver with my keyboard and connecting via bluetooth now with my mouse to the laptop.
Not only that, but when I scroll it just doesnt register it always. and this happened quite some time.
Is this a known issue with a known fix? Could it be this is between my ears and I am the problem and not a logitech problem? It's a new mouse so of course sensitivity I have to get used to or adjust etc, but the wheel thing just seems strange.
Or could it be works as designed?

So I have a friend who moved to New Zealand a couple of months ago. She had a crush on a boy and she introduced me and my bff to her crush and as soon as I met him I knew he was a bad person. My bff warned my friend that her crush was a bad person and my friend didn't care about that.. so i started to text her crush to prove her that he was a bad person. I'm not proud of myself for doing that but it was for her.. and the more I started to text him the more I started to fall for him. I know that I'm the asshole for this but I'm really trying to get rid of those feelings.. and eventually they started to date. And my bff hated him alot cause he called her short, but it's a dumb reason to hate on somebody for this... And my parents found out that I was texting a boy so they deleted all my online games. This is really a lame reason to cry but I didn't have alot of friends back then and I used those games as an escape from reality. And I started to text him more and ranted about my life. And my bff didn't know these things cause I knew these things would ruin our friendship and I also acted appropriately with my friend's bf. A few weeks ago they broke up and he was kinda depressed and I was there for him. But he was obsessed with my friend so I get why she broke up with him and ghosted him. And he was also like I'm going to die- which I was really concerned about and when I told my bff she was like let him die. He deserves to die. And also recommend me to break his trust. Which I was really mad about. And I didn't really text her after.. and my friend's ex was acting really inappropriate to me , which was really uncomfortable and it's important to know that we are minors but i don't know I think he did it for fun, After he acted really inappropriate I decided to block him and I regretted that immediately and started to cry for hours.. cause his mental health was hanging and I was the only person there for him. so I unblocked him and seems like he cried for hours too.. and my friend added him back on snapchat. So he told her that he liked me.. and he confessed to me later that day and I rejected him saying that he was like my brother. I guess i lied but I wouldn't date him since he was my friend's ex and she still liked him. I'm pretty sure he felt embarrassed after that rejection and I screwed up by showing all of his and my messages to my friend. And my idiotic friend decided to tell him that she saw all of his and my chats using my account which I didn't know anything about? And when he asked me I had to say yes, but she was using his account since she still had his password. It doesn't matter but I still betrayed his trust, and I feel really bad about that but it was the only thing that felt right at that moment. And he also started to like a new girl, like replaced me in 2 days.. even now he kinda ignores my texts and all that but I guess I deserve it. And my bff is forcing me to leave him saying that he is manipulative and many other people also agree but I feel like I'm manipulating myself.. please give me suggestions on what to do next, I'm really confused. ( my English is really bad here since I'm not really fluent ) please don't mind that. Feel free to hate me but I just need suggestions on what to do next.

Hey everyone. I've always known termux "worked" so to speak, but I had no idea the length of which people went to have GUI support. There are posts of some people running KDE and stuff, which is wild to me. My question is as follows: with or without Samsung DeX, is there any way to just connect a monitor, keyboard and mouse to your phone and use it as your development environment? How does performance translate from benchmarks on android to real world usage (my s23 on paper has around 2/3rds of the performance of my thinkpad, does that reflect the performance of desktop environments and etc. at all)? I've looked into some of the posts of people trying similar things, but I'm not sure if it goes past the proof of concept stage. If there's a compilation of setups like this, I'd love to see it.

All the signs are there. Sometimes when im board i go on IG and try to find all accounts for one of the content creators i follow. I found one.... wow... so far im up to 50+ account all posting a few times a week since 2022 or so. Same person in this pictures, identifiable by their tatoos. Across the accounts the puctures may differ but all the same person.
The location varies, on FB they have accounts as well, anywhere from the Cali to FL as location. On IG the location is europe, which checks out with the builing style in the content posted.
So, one day i found an account with only a few pictures, labeled back up account. I started to follow that one. A few days later they follow me back and send a DM. Chatted through IG for a bit and then asked to go to snapchat instead, as thet are being stalked and may need to shut down that account. For a few days we talk on snap, and then the IG is shut down...
The snap name is different from IG as well as the profile pic, not even close. Reason: to avoid tge stalker from finding them, they used a friends name and account. Searched for the name online, cant find anything no match of name +pic.
At first its broken englush but it gets better with time. They share not much, a few personal things that are either really sad or meant to manipulate. Then after 3 days talking on Snap they ask if i can buy them dinner as their card was blocked while traveling. I say no, they get reaaly annoyed and disappointed and try to guilt me. Next day all is well again.

(this is NOT the warehouse pharmacy just to be clear)
I am new to Prescriptions by Mail. I mailed in a paper prescription I have for my daughter and received an email that said "We confirm the receipt of your order with Costco Pharmacy.
An email containing details about this delivery will be sent when your order is shipped.
If you have any questions, please phone us at 855-622-5656 or online by using the Contact Us form available in the lower section of our website."
I contacted them and they called me back and said they have not received a prescription for my daughter and that it is probably in process and I will get an email once it's processed.
I also transferred my prescriptions from the warehouse to Prescriptions by Mail, they called about that and I said not to fill it, I just wanted it on file so I can order it later when I need it.
Is there a way to view the prescriptions they have on file for me or my children?

I probably did try every guide posted in the internet to make this abomination work, without success. Does someone know if this project will finally be usable for people or is it just abandoned open source project?
Not going to lie but Mozilla documentation is truly terrible too. Today I once again tried to check the progress of official FxA. Well no suprise here, still does not work. I honestly do not know how Mozilla devops are even able to run and support their own creation in the cloud at this point.
This time it failed for me at api start after running yarn start command from the docs. I am just too devastated by multiple tries to even check what did go wrong this time and what else will still fail after fixing this issue. That said, does anyone know how to self host Mozilla Accounts Server?
As a bonus, terminal output by following step by step firefox guide from the link above:

My(26) gf(27) is going through uni exam period right now, aside from dealing with the stress that come with it.
She has been extremely irritated about noises from neighbours, talking, street noise from outside etc. While she studies for the exam.
A week ago I've bought her a noise cancelling headphones for her birthday, but she haven't even tried it she is adamant that "it won't work", that she doesn't believe in "those stuff", "doesn't have time to set it up"(it takes about a minute to connect to bt)
Personally I've used one of those and it works fantastically at cancelling outside voice, basically perfect for studying especially when you have to listen to online lectures.
As the exam coming up sooner she become increasingly agitated at the noises from outside/neighbours, but she just refuse to try the headphones.
I am frustrated to see her like this. What can I do?
TL;DR gf is annoyed at the noise from outside, I've bought her a noise cancelling headphones but she refused to try it even just one time because she is adamant they don't work

Reposting This from AITA sub. Hi Mark I see your videos on YT, maybe one of these days I'll see my own story in your video.😆 This is going to be a long one so bear with me please. I am also giving a lot of backstory and past issues bcz I feel they are relevant to the matter and also I feel like ranting. Also this is in India so the currency is Rupees. Before we start I just want to say that I am not perfect in any way or form and I have done any fair share of mistakes.
I(20F) have been in a relationship with my bf Jake(22M)(fake name) for roughly 5.5 yrs now. My family is not rich but we do have a lot of money bcz both my parents are doctors but I did not realise we have this much money until 2yrs ago. (Am not very street smart as U will see in this post). Since after abt 1.5 years of relationship (May 2020)when lockdown started his family fell on hardtimes as his family owns a shop and bcz of the Pandemic they weren't able to run it.
At first it was bcz one of his friend got into an accident so he needs money and he told me he will give it back etc (i don't remember if he ever did as it was yrs ago). At the time I had money saved up so I helped out the first few times with my own money. Then when I ran out of money then he said to ask my dad or mom, or steal from my house and give him some. A lil back story here, my mom and dad are separated so they did not used to talk about finances so I would take extra money from my dad than what was actually required and give the rest to jake. For e.g I required 3k for a parcel or smrg then I would ask for 5k, give my mother the 3k(I live with her, my father lives separately) and give the 2k to jake. I also gave him cash many times by essentially stealing from my mother's closet. When I used to say NO he hurled abuses at me and called me every name in the book which a person can imagine, guilt tripped me and pushed me very hard and I gave in almost every time. He told me he will give me back eventually, he has made an investment,etc. Basically all stupid lies to have more time, then one day during an arguement I pressed on when he is gonna return the money and after a lot of time he told me there is no investment and he used the money in his family's shop.
After 2.5 year of this in October-Nov of 2022 we both got admissions in universities which were around 2 hours away from each other. Till then this pattern continued and his family was still struggling bcz of his father's brother divided the joint business or something else.
Before this when we were at out respective homes he told me he got some operation done for smtg in his abdomen. I gave him 10k from my mother's closet for that and even when I went to meet he had an area bandaged (was very unprofessionally done my dumb self should have understood that it was also fake) one of his friend also confirmed that he had operation done and I was coordinating with him on the said dates when he was supposedly admitted. He also used to frequently tell me that he has suicidal thoughts and he will end himself etc .
After we went to our respective colleges once we had a big fight and next day he told me that he tried to end himself by jumping of the balcony but his friend (who he was staying with at the time),Luke, stopped him worrying for him I called Luke later and told him I was worried for Jake and to pls take care of him. He was confused by this and asked me why what happened. I asked him abt last night's attempt, he told me nothing of that sort happened. This opened a can of worms where it was revealed that he was making a fool out of me, guy owned a fucking Iphone and was telling me that his family was on hard times and taking money from me. This is also when I found out that their was no operation. I don't remember what else I found out that night but felt like a huge betrayal and I talked to 3 of his friends that night for quite a few hours where a lot of lies were revealed.
I broke it off with him, at this point I had lent a total of Rs.75-80k. He begged me for weeks for forgiveness, at first I laughed in his face but as weeks went by I started to miss us. He came to meet and win me back a few times at my uni. Eventually, a month later I forgave him on some conditions like he wont lie and share everything with me, won't tell me who or who not to be friends with (he did that before a lot).
Few months later the cycle started again, I was back to giving him money from the monthly spending amount I used to get(it was a lot at first bcz I was just settling in,now my monthy allowance is wayyy less). He did not like the friend group I was in so I stopped talking to them (bcz they knew abt our situation as I broke down crying in front of them when I found out abt all this so he felt like he lost respect and They didn't respect me etc, admittedly they weren't good and I would have distanced myself eventually anyways maybe cuz the vibe didn't match but that should have been my call I feel) and he still (>1 year later) yells at me if he suspects that I am casually talking to them.
My college is in a much smaller city so I go to meet him once to twice a month as he shares a flat with few ppl and the city has more activities to do. Other than the first few times (when we got back together) I pay almost if not all bills like gas (for his 2 wheeler) and food. It's very frustrating at times but I understand that he does not has enough money as his father does not send him enough to cover rent, food and expenses or so he says ( sighs IDK anymore guys what's true and what's not). Jake says his family is still struggling bcz his sister went to UK last year to study and that took a huge chunk of money and they have loans to pay, etc. I can believe this is true. Also he says they have virtually almost no savings left bcz business isn't doing great hence his father sends him rent t food expenses andsays to manage The rest on his own (he does not has a job so guess where the money comes from 🤡). In the Past few months admittedly he has not asked for money frequently but when he does its like a huge chunk. He has also taken loans (with interest) from some of his friends without telling me. He has done this multiple times before after I have repeatedly asked him to stop. (Embarrassingly I admit there are more instances when he has acted like a red curtain but I think I can write a book at this point if I list them all out so let's move on to the latest problem).
Onto The current issue Almost 3 days ago now, Jake called me (we already have been fighting for I don't even remember how many days at that point a week maybe?) and we told me that he was told by his dad that they have been unable to make payments for the loan they took from a person keeping their shop as collateral, they have to pay half the amount (Total amount was 5 lakhs) and interest which was 64k tomorrow to that person, they have arranged most of the money but are short by abt 30k. He asked me can I do something (steal or ask my dad). I refused as there is no money in my mother's closet anyway and I haven't talked to my dad in abt 3 months now. (ofcourse I did not outright refuse and just gave him my reas oning buz I'm a doormat 🥰🤡🤡).
He pressed me to pls talk to my father about money and tell him I need it for my tablet (I bought one just a few days prior). I refused and said he won't give me money anyway. He asked what about my mother's bank account, it must have something. One account is linked to UPI ( It's for making online payments in India) and one is not. The one that is linked does not have much money bCz my mother's salary has not been credited in 4 months. The other account has money but as it does not has UPI activated online payments cannot be done.I told him all of this. He asked can I activate the UPI if my mother's asleep and plz transfer him the money (also said to transfer it first to my own account so if she finds out then I can say my friend needed it so I have lent some for a month or two🙂 ) I mean maybe I could if I really wanted to but I have had enough, I do not want to steal. Now his family is potentially loosing the shop and he is blaming me for it. I have repeatedly tried to reason with him and told him that if I had the money in my account I would have given him (My account had 1k and I transferred him that😔). He says his blood relatives (his father's siblings refused to pay even a dime, I mean they and their children all are grown ups and have jobs and if They didn't pay how does he expect me, who does not has never had a job give him money, probably it's my fault I have enabled him enough every down time by giving him money so how he just expects everytime that I'll help bcz I am family).
He is still pressing me to give like 5k now bcz now he wants to go to another city and talk to the lender's brother to pls provide them with some Time. But I do not have the money 😕. He says that 'if I would have really wanted then I could but I did not think of his family as mine ', " U will understand my pain when U will loose something of yours for lesser value Than it really is " (The shop's market valve is 4O lakhs and they lost it for 5 lakhs) Also has called me quite a few names since then. He arranged 1K and said " I'm going today there I'll see what to do after reaching there." Says he wants to breakup ( it's pretty normal to say it's over after fights so I don't really know if he is even serious) for 2 reasons - 1. I did not give him money 2. When he will go to uni he won't have any spending money so he'll expect are to help out, and he knows I won't and he does not want that disappointment.
I mean TBH I wouldn't care if it were a few hundred rupees but it won't be, additionally I will be The one covering The costs as usual when I go to meet him. I won't have any money left for my own. And I really want to start saving up again. I have spent outrageous amounts of money in The past year (go figure the reason) and saved up nothing. Today he was still begging (he used the word) me to pls arrange the money. He said I leave for uni in 2 days after summer vacations so I'll get my allowance, technically I can ask for it in advance and give him. But I don't want to after he has treated me. Everytime I tell myself that this is the last time, I'll leave the next time he does this but I just stay.
I know I'm not responsible for him and his family but I still feel really guilty about not giving him the money. I know I should end things but it's just difficult to leave something which you have been attached to for so long, it just feels natural to you. Rn he owes me I don't even know how much but it's maybe around 1 lakh something. Not counting The amount of gifts (some he guilt tripped me into buying 🙄 ) I have bought him and the money I have spent on my trips to visit him. IDK if I'll ever see that money again probably not. Please also give me advice on how should I proceed with the breakup, I don't want him to do anything drastic like come to my house or call my mom to tell him abt our relationship (frowned upon in India).
I know the answer but still need the answer should I give him some money from my allowance and WIBTA if I don't ? (Sorry for any errors in writing, I'm writing on tablet with a stylus)

Hi there! Hope my title makes sense, i'd like to make it as clear as possible for people with the issue of hosting minecraft worlds that there is another way, and its mega easy. Essentialy its the Essential Mod which me and my friends found as an absolute GOD SEND over using VPNs, LAN connectors such as Hamachi or ZeroTier.
The mod literally makes it like any other game such as Terreria, Stardew Valley or even old Minecraft where a player hosts a world and can simply invite their friends to their world. Complications no more. Obviously Server Hosting is much different where its a continuous upheld server (non-dedicated server), unlike the Essential Mod which makes your PC a dedicated server.
Looking online we found that no one brings up the Essential Mod up as it was extremely hard for us to find, scouring for any other ways of hosting a minecraft serveworld for free is extremely difficult or complicated.
Hope this helps anyone!!!

Hello all, I rent an apartment for $1645 per month. My lease ends on the 6th of June and I renewed my lease for another year with the rent increased to $1705 per month. For June, the rent was supposed to be prorated (so I was supposed to pay $1692). I just got the rent bill and it still is $1645 (we use an online payment portal). Should I flag this to the apartment management or keep quite about it? (State: Connecticut)

Hi, we have a sky wifi and the wifi has been so trash these past few weeks and counting. The wifi works as I am using it right now, but its quite slow. Specially the Ping, my ping is so high (300-500ms) I have not been able to play online games that require ping for so long. Anyone having the same problem?

I received a note on my door about a delivery and when I called customer service to see who the delivery came from all I got was the company CPDI. The only thing I could find on google was a trucking agency that uses fed ex to make deliveries. Does anyone know what this means? To clarify I have not ordered anything online.

Later this month, I’ll have 3 weeks off, and I want to use that time wisely to dive deep into self-improvement. I’ve started drafting a schedule and would love any tips or advice you might have. Here’s my plan so far:

1. Career Development (2-3 days)
   • Resume and LinkedIn Revamp: Spend a couple of days updating my resume and optimizing my LinkedIn profile. • Career Planning: Define short-term and long-term career goals, research potential paths, and develop a strategy. • Worst-Case Scenario Preparation: Create a contingency plan in case of job loss, identify networking opportunities, and list companies of interest.
   
2. Home Life Improvement (2-3 days) • Decluttering and Organizing: Spend a few days methodically decluttering and organizing each part of my house to create a calm and comfortable environment. • Home Improvement Projects: Identify and complete small projects to enhance my living space.
   
3.

Hear me out, in my childhood, I remember we used to get fresh samosas in the evening from our neighborhood halwai. Once I grew up and moved to different cities because of jobs, I found it increasingly difficult to get the same fresh samosas.
Now, with people preferring to live in large societies, it's not as easy as just running by to the closest halwai and grabbing some samosas for the family chai time. And for those who say, "Why not just order online?"—I've tried, but it's not the same as getting fresh samosas.
So, I've been thinking of testing out this idea of placing a kiosk in large societies (1K+ apartments) where we would stock up on samosas every day and freshly fry them for every order.
Any suggestion or things to look out for ? Also any recommendation on how to go about this and approach?

Hey y’all, good morning. I’m becoming much more serious about my need to quit drinking. Thanks for being here, just reading through the sub is inspiring and helping to motivate me that quitting drinking is a necessity and that it’s possible AND that I need support and community. I guess some people have the willpower to choose to quit and can do it. I’m going to need support and accountability. I’m hoping thru those things that inpatient rehab won’t be necessary. I won’t ramble on but I’m here to ask for advice on two things.
1) Looking for online meeting support groups that aren’t necessarily AA. I used meetingguide app and have been sitting in on a couple this morning. One of them was pretty sweet but like a lot of ppl there are elements of AA that turn me off. If that’s all I can find I’ll take it, I need to be in sober community talking about recovery more than I need to be picky about exactly what that looks like. Any advice on this would be appreciated.
2) Seeking advice on a book to get today while I’m on errands. I think I need to read something on the science of how alcohol works on the body/brain and how that plays w addiction. I know I could Google “best books on….” But I feel like this sub would have some great recommendations I’d love to hear.
Any advice appreciated. Way to go if you woke up not hungover today, and all the rest of us, let’s goooo

Time management is a crucial skill for students aiming to excel in their studies. Balancing academic responsibilities, extracurricular activities, part-time jobs, and personal life can be challenging. However, with a well-structured time management plan, you can enhance your productivity, reduce stress, and achieve your academic goals. This article provides practical tips and strategies for creating an effective time management plan to improve your studies.

1. Set Clear Goals

Begin by setting clear, specific, and achievable goals for your studies. These goals should be both short-term and long-term, giving you a sense of direction and purpose. For example:

• Short-term goal: Complete the week's assignments by Friday evening.
• Long-term goal: Achieve a GPA of 3.5 or higher by the end of the semester.

Having clear goals helps you stay focused and motivated, making it easier to prioritize your tasks.

2. Create a Study Schedule

A study schedule is a cornerstone of effective time management. Allocate specific time slots for studying, attending classes, and other activities. Here's how to create an effective study schedule:

• Weekly Planner: Use a weekly planner to map out your classes, study sessions, extracurricular activities, and personal commitments. This helps you visualize your week and identify available study time.
• Time Blocks: Divide your study time into manageable blocks, such as 25-30 minutes of focused study followed by a 5-minute break (Pomodoro Technique). This approach helps maintain concentration and prevents burnout.
• Prioritize Tasks: Prioritize your tasks based on deadlines and importance. Tackle the most challenging subjects or assignments first when your energy and focus are at their peak.

3. Avoid Procrastination

Procrastination is a common obstacle to effective time management. To overcome it:

• Break Tasks into Smaller Steps: Large tasks can be overwhelming. Break them into smaller, more manageable steps and tackle them one at a time.
• Set Deadlines: Set personal deadlines for each task, even if they aren't required by your instructor. This creates a sense of urgency and helps you stay on track.
• Eliminate Distractions: Identify and eliminate distractions in your study environment. This might mean studying in a quiet place, turning off notifications on your phone, or using apps like Focus@Will or Cold Turkey to block distracting websites.

4. Use Productivity Tools

Several tools and apps can help you manage your time more effectively:

• To-Do Lists: Use to-do list apps like Todoist, Microsoft To Do, or Google Keep to keep track of your tasks and deadlines.
• Calendar Apps: Digital calendars like Google Calendar or Apple Calendar allow you to schedule your study sessions and set reminders for important deadlines.
• Note-Taking Apps: Apps like Evernote, OneNote, or Notion can help you organize your notes and study materials efficiently.

5. Implement Effective Study Techniques

Using effective study techniques can maximize your productivity and improve retention:

• Active Learning: Engage with the material actively by summarizing information in your own words, asking questions, and teaching concepts to someone else.
• Spaced Repetition: Instead of cramming, use spaced repetition to review material at increasing intervals. Tools like Anki or Quizlet can help with this technique.
• Mind Mapping: Create mind maps to visualize and organize information. This technique helps in understanding complex topics and improving memory retention.

6. Maintain a Healthy Balance

While studying is important, maintaining a healthy balance between academic and personal life is crucial for overall well-being:

• Physical Health: Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and adequate sleep are essential for maintaining focus and energy levels. Aim for at least 7-8 hours of sleep per night and incorporate physical activity into your routine.
• Mental Health: Manage stress through mindfulness practices, meditation, or hobbies that you enjoy. Taking regular breaks and spending time with friends and family can also help reduce stress.
• Social Activities: Allocate time for social activities and relaxation. This helps prevent burnout and keeps you motivated.

7. Review and Adjust Your Plan

Periodically review your time management plan to assess its effectiveness. Ask yourself:

• Are you meeting your study goals?
• Are you able to complete assignments on time without feeling overwhelmed?
• Do you have enough time for relaxation and social activities?

Based on your assessment, adjust your plan as needed. Flexibility is key to accommodating unforeseen changes and maintaining a balanced approach.

8. Seek Support When Needed

Don't hesitate to seek support if you're struggling with time management or specific subjects:

• Academic Support: Utilize resources like tutoring centers, study groups, and academic advisors at your school.
• Online Resources: Access online platforms like Khan Academy, Coursera, or edX for additional learning materials and tutorials.
• Professional Help: If you find it challenging to manage stress or academic pressure, consider speaking to a counselor or mental health professional.

Conclusion

Effective time management is essential for academic success and overall well-being. By setting clear goals, creating a structured study schedule, avoiding procrastination, using productivity tools, implementing effective study techniques, maintaining a healthy balance, reviewing your plan regularly, and seeking support when needed, you can enhance your study habits and achieve your academic goals. Remember, the key to successful time management is consistency and adaptability. With these strategies, you can take control of your time and make the most of your educational journey

Hello everyone, I'm a 15 year old female born and raisend in France, and I've always been an overthinker. But lately, it's too much to handle so I wanted to share my struggles and hopefully get some help.
As I said, I'm a teenager. So all of my friends follow the trends online, and joke by using the latest memes and expressions. I do it too. But I think it's weird. Like what am I doing with my life. Go to school, joke with friends, get good grades, go back home, spend all my free time on a screen and sleep. Are we supposed to live like this ? I don't know but I think it's so dumb but at the same time I'm no better than everyone else. I still continue to consume content. When I talked about this with my brother he just told I think too much. I don't what to do.
So now I'm stuck in between not thinking and just following whatever society tells me to do. Or questioning everything and becoming crazy.
Plus I was a lot in kpop too, but now I just find all of this industry wrong. The alarming weight of the idols, the beauty standards and all of the surgery. But at the same time I found that I was so much happier when I didn't think of our society. Of our toxic beauty standards. Of how we all are wasting our life on screens comparing ourselves.
So please tell me : should I be like every other teenager or torture myself with questions ?

Everything is normal, except when trying to use any modded character (for example: samuel). It just freezes for a second and crashes the game.

My(26) gf(27) is going through uni exam period right now, aside from dealing with the stress that come with it.
She has been extremely irritated about noises from neighbours, talking, street noise from outside etc. While she studies for the exam.
A week ago I've bought her a noise cancelling headphones for her birthday, but she haven't even tried it she is adamant that "it won't work", that she doesn't believe in "those stuff", "doesn't have time to set it up"(it takes about a minute to connect to bt)
Personally I've used one of those and it works fantastically at cancelling outside voice, basically perfect for studying especially when you have to listen to online lectures.
As the exam coming up sooner she become increasingly agitated at the noises from outside/neighbours, but she just refuse to try the headphones.
I am frustrated to see her like this. What can I do?
TL;DR gf is annoyed at the noise from outside, I've bought her a noise cancelling headphones but she refused to try it even just one time because she is adamant they don't work
