Broken Computer - Please Help Me!! Anonymous 124156[Reply]

It's broken in a weird way. One day, out of the blue while I was typing code in Visual Studio, the monitor turned to grey static all of a sudden and the computer wouldn't respond to any inputs. Then, next time I tried to turn it on, it made a weird buzzing sound and wouldn't show anything on the screen. I have worked with lots of computers but never seen anything like this before.

Technical specifications:
- HP Desktop Slim 2021 Model
- 16 Gigabytes of RAM
- 1000 GB m.2 drive with Windows 10
- 500 gb m.2 drive inside a PCIE16 adaptor with Linux Mint Cinnamon
- I was on Linux when it crashed

Please let me know if you have further questions or solutions. I use this computer for professional purposes and need it for a programming project.

Try taking out your OS and running through the components one at a time until you get to BIOS. Start with the RAM. That sounds like it would be the culprit. Take one out and try booting, if the problem persists try the other one. If that doesn't fix the problem start replacing components one at a time until you get some signs of life. I doubt it has anything to do with the CPU, those things are super durable. Just my process, you're on linux so you almost definitely know more about these things than I do.
Good luck and please give updates!

I tried to boot into the bios in all sorts of ways but it didn't do anything. I tried swapping out the drives too, same thing.

Anonymous 124187

Additionally I scanned the whole system for malware but didn't find any. I ended up wiping the Linux drive just in case.

Anonymous 124201

I fixed it! I ended up reseating the ram and fixing the Linux system and it works like new now!

Are toxic female friendships common? What are they really like?

As a 25F with literally no friends, I always wondered how bad other women can be.

Lots of hypocrisy, people that care more about status symbol rather than their friends happiness.
Lets say your friend has some grievances with her bf, not toxic shit but just some annoyances, the so called "friend" will say dump him immediately.
She doesn't care about the long term happiness of her friend thou, she just wants her to dump the guy because guy.

And to add on top of that, this female friend of yours all along is waiting on the sidelines and shouting , encouraging you to break up with your boyfriend to leave you all alone. Only for the friend to use it to her advantage to bring along her own boyfriend and rub their relationship in your face while you're at your lowest point. It's all about dark triad and her having the most power in your friendship dynamic.



the NEET life chose me Anonymous 128860[Reply]

I'm jobless,and uneducated.I'm held back.

I lack in-person adult school. My attempts at net school and mail courses failed due to them emulating the lack of support,and proper education I recieved. Brick and mortar adult school is necessary because it provides community. Not to mention, I'm exhausted from self-teaching without guidance or feedback. Relocation to attend an adult-school is necessary.

I live online. I lack solo-hobbies, such as reading physical books, or embroidery,as doing anything my family does not approve of feels risky.There is lots of activites I want to participant in, but my family holds me back.When I go outside, I am accused of doing something weird. Hence, to avoid conflict, I stay in my room. Given they do not participate in casual sports,or volunteering,doing so would make me ostracized.

I'm unemployed.I'm a caregiver. My sibling has an illness, and my parent is scared for them to be alone. Hence, I cannot work. I am also in the process of geting my ID. My parent lacks consistent hours, so working around their schedule would be challenging.

I love my family. But this is unfair. I'm unable to pursue a social life, and work towards my career goals. I feel an obligation them. I do not have in me to go out and do the activities I want to anyway, ignoring them. I do not want to come home to accusations,and be yelled at for defying them. I expressed my concerns to them, and they claimed I have everything I want. That is false:I want a job, and an offline life. I want independance. I'm ashamed of being a NEET.

I am neet and I relate to all of this too. I truly believe that some of us are ment to be neet and unemployed forever because that's what life chose for us. it isn't a choice. Maybe you can try faking being a retard so you can get neetbux from the government

Anonymous 128876

You have to do everything in your power not to be held back by your family. It doesn't mean you don't care about them, it just means you are exercising your right to make yourself happy. It's not your job to give up your life for your siblings illness.

>doing anything my family does not approve of feels risky


They're not showing up for you as you are for them. You already recognize that that's not right. You're in the right to leave. Leave and never look back… get a wagie job, learn how to drive, get certified in something so that you dont have to rely on your family to provide for you….


Ngl, what >>128868 said is valid too. If you can manage it, go for it. It'll only be a temporary fix, cause ssi/ssd doesn't cover rent, but it'll help with getting your own money at least??

fasting is good idea but then also eating zero calorie stuff and not stretching your stomach is

Anonymous 128830

I'm with you, I just graduated high school at 18 and I feel so lost and existentially empty. I dealt with some bullying for my weight and thinking I was ugly no matter what, I still get scared if my shirts are too low cut because I'm that self conscious

Anonymous 128845

To be attractive you must first love yourself, then comes looks.

Don't change to please others, change to please yourself.

Build healthy habits that make yourself feel good and lose weight slowly as a bonus, shortcuts like adderall will hurt you long term.

You are 18, Adult life have not even started yet, you have so much time so don't stress about everything.

Focus on the healthy small things that make you feel good and build those habits slowly.
Write down goals that are reasonable and strive to reach them.

Start easy like a little bit of exercise every day to get your body moving, it can literally be just stretching in the beginning to build the routine, a walk outdoors every day and minimum of 3 eggs for breakfast for nutrition and vitamins.

As you read this, improve your body position by just 5%, stretch something that is stiff, just a little. See, feels better.
Continue like that every now and then. Small habits grow with time.

Anonymous 128865

you're just 18, barely an adult yet. maybe it's a function of my social circle but most people i know including myself didn't have our first relationship until college when we were older than 18

i second getting a part time job, it'll help keep you busy and you'll be standing or walking rather than sitting down + you can start saving to buy makeup and clothes so win win

Anonymous 128866

>>128737

this is bad advice lol

OP you should count calories rather than having rules like this. You lose weight as long as you're in a deficit.

Whole foods and fruits are good ofc but you can def still stay in a deficit and have more than 1 fruit a meal lmao. Also it's not that hard to allocate a couple hundred calories in the week for a sweet treat. If you over restrict you'll probably end up binge eating eventually.

You can hit the gym everyday as long as you're hitting a different muscle group every time but you should take a rest day for muscles to repair between training the same area.

I feel like my boyfriend is trying to avoid seeing me Anonymous 128839[Reply]

Me and my boyfriend have been together for a about 3 months but we've only seen each other 2 times within 2 months.
I want to meet every weekend but my boyfriend says he can't meet as much because he needs to study and he says he wants to reward us both with meeting when we've done a good job studying.
The problem is that I work really hard studying but it seems like he doesn't even try and then he tells me that we'll meet when he's catched up on everything.
I haven't told him it hurts my feelings but it really does because I feel like he doesn't want to see me at all when he doesn't even do his school work.
It feels like he's trying to avoid seeing me and it really hurts.
How do I stop feeling hurt by this? Or do I just tell him I am and that I'd rather meet even if he hasn't done anything?

It's ok to want love.

He is not very interested or he is an avoidant, either way it's better to just walk and find someone who meets you.

And I will tell you a little secret about attraction: Whatever quality you like in him is actually a projection of yourself; qualities you have that you project onto this external person.

Look for that in yourself and you will find it easier to walk.

Boyfriend has no sense of style Anonymous 128785[Reply]

My boyfriend's sense of style is so ugly. He can do whatever he wants, but dear God the outfits he comes up with in her head sound like some shit my yeemo friends in middle school would wear. On one hand I don't care. Some of it is acceptable. A T-shirt with some skulls on it or merch with jeans is bearable. Hoodies and sketchers all the time is fine too. He's a man. What do I care? But he's trying to explore his taste in fashion more which is fine but he's coming up with outfits that make me pity him. I will love him regardless but my god he can't dress to save his life.

Anonymous 128787

Burn every bit of clothing he has, and force him to go and get wearable stuff. Or idk, wash the most crappy stuff “accidentally” with bleach and take him shopping as a date.

Anonymous 128819

feat-collars-co-re…

So I have good news and bad news. The good news is he's trying to learn about clothing already, so he's already on the right path. The bad news is >>128787 has given you terrible advice, because using trickery, subterfuge and ultimatums to influence your loved ones is a very silly idea. He'll only resent you for forcing him out of his comfort zone.

You could try finding some mensware bloggers, writers, YouTubers, etc. so he can educate himself further. Also it's worth remembering that the men's section of any highstreet clothes retailer is full of badly fitted, uninspiring, and either way-too-on-trend or years behind items. This is why today you can see public wonders, like 40 year old men wearing skinny jeans, or whatever the hell pic related is. He has probably never had any guidence on how to not dress like a 16 year old, and if he tried bringing it up around other men, there's a high chance they'd just call him gay. He's basically learning Chinese without ever having so much as overheard a Chinese person actually speak the language, so it's going to take him a while before he doesn't look like Chris Chan at a disco.

Finally, this sounds really dumb, and I am both that and tired, but watch some earlier Michael Mann films with him. Every man in those films is very well dressed*, and even though the clothes are 30-40 years old, any man wearing them would only look out of place today because his contemporaries are wearing polo shirts with low-rise drain pipe trousers. You could actually employ some trickery here and casually comment on how well dressed the likes of Will Graham are.

*This doesn't apply to The Last of the Mohicans or The Keep, fyi.

Anonymous 128949

literally just tell him what to wear and say it will look good on him, for fucks sake

Moid's using women's attention to stroke their own egos and throwing them aside once it's all done Anonymous 128758[Reply]

I am actually embarrassed with myself and if I could, I would have went back into the past and stopepd myself. But admittedly, I found myself crushing on some moid. He liked metal and I liked metal music; I won't even lie about that. I don't know many people with the same interests as me, and if anything, I just wanted to talk about things I liked for once in my life and honestly, for the two days we were speaking, I truly thought our discussion was pretty decent, we spoke back and forth. Although, I already knew that he rarely asked me any questions about myself in return, a habit it see amongst many moids. Women will ask you questions and go back and forth on interests, but moids only like to talk about themselves or explain shit to you. Anyway, he got onto the part where he wanted to show off his shitty anime art, whatever, I like art and so I asked to see it. He had no issue sending me picture on picture of his supposed talent, and I complimented him like a decent fucking person. Of course, none of my interests ever mattered to be asked about, but sure…I moved on and continued to talk. Unsurprisingly, once his art came off of the discussion table so did our conversation. It went back to the same old shit, until finally he completely stopped messaging me and my final message which was literally a question was only blessed with a fucking heart emoji and after a while of pondering the whole situation, I realized that my role was to fangirl over the freak, I wasn't even seen as a friend, but some novel thing for him to stroke his ego by. I am done. Completely done. If it weren't for women have of these dweebs wouldn't have shit to stand on. Maybe it's just me, but the whole situation was fucking disrespectful and rude, but I don't know why I expected better decorum than a fucking mutt.

I am the most disgusting woman alive Anonymous 128747[Reply]

Everything about me is wrong and it's making me seriously consider suicide. For context, I was born disabled, mentally and physically. And it shows on my face especially, I look 40 years old at only 19, my back is crooked, my teeth are disgusting and I have deep eye bags to the point where people think I am on meth. I am a 6th grade drop out due to my intellectual disability and I might be homeless soon. I might be kicked out since I am unable to work and I have piles of trash in my room that I am too tired to clean and I piss myself since my bladder is fucked up. I really want to fix my life but I am ashamed to even leave the house because of my condition and I am scared of how people might react to me. I am confused on where to even start.

Thank you for the advice. I am definitely trying to get my HS diploma so I can have a better chance at getting a job so I can finally have some type of independence. I live in an area with a lot of resources for that so I just have to gain the courage to actually go out which I am working on.

This thread is for people who have hit rock bottom. Not people who are having a bad day, but people who are living in the depths of despair. Whether you're a nona who is struggling with serious addiction, mental or physical illness that severely precludes your life, constantly feeling suicidal, whether you're being abused, have any other serious life issues or if you are simply unable to function and don't know where else to turn, vent here and let's try to support each other.

Last online friend just blocked me and removed me on every platform out of nowhere and now I have no one. I often wonder if I am just so unlikeable or annoying that spending time with me is so miserable, but people seem to generally enjoy my company. The problem is just that I am the last option with every person I meet so they end up ignoring me for long periods of time while I'm sat at my computer feeling too anxious to send a message (until the loneliness becomes so unbearable that I bite the bullet and reach out).

I am dealing with a chronic illness that leaves me housebound and in turn I have developed severe agoraphobia. I haven't gone outside in years so it's hard for me to make real friends. Therapy didn't work and brute force doesn't work so I don't know what to do. I feel very stuck. I am so bored and lonely every single day with no one to talk to and nothing to do, while also dealing with probably the worst physical illness related episode in my life. I'm in pain in every physical way with no comfort or joy anywhere. It's so depressing and I constantly just blame myself because if everyone vanishes then I must be the problem somehow. I'm getting tired of asking myself what's wrong with me every night while trying to sleep. I always try my best to make every friendship work out and go above and beyond, even changing myself completely, for people and they still all disappear.
