Kill yourself without anyone knowing

I recently got a new Philips 2000i air purifier, and I've noticed that the fan seems to be running unevenly. Despite the device being relatively quiet, I can see the fan's operation isn't smooth, especially when looking from the top or without the filter from the front.
Has anyone else experienced this issue with their Philips 2000i? I'm curious to know if it's a common problem or if it's just something with my unit.

My husband (33M) and I (28F) are currently facing a challenging period in our relationship. After a year of marriage and cohabitation, he has made the decision to relocate to another state. We originally met in that state (California) and dated for a few months (we were friends first and were dating other people, no cheating just eventually happened) before I moved to Michigan to pursue my career goals. I secured a job with an annual income of approximately $200,000. He followed me to Michigan, and we eventually married. It was an elopment because I'm catholic and I always wanted to be married before living with anyone.We spent months ring shopping before the wedding but we never had an engagement we just decided to elope so no one knows and wait to eventually have more money do a proper ceremony and engagement. etc. I always dreamed of having a family and moving back to California to settle down. I dont see Michigan as my home, we always had the same goals and come from very similar backgrounds, except his family is dysfunctional and mine isnt.
It's important to note that he has experienced significant financial setbacks this year due to inflation/the economy and the loss of his business. I provided him with support in various ways, including financially and emotionally, and even helped him secure a job at my company. (He didnt like it so he got fired) However, he became increasingly depressed over time and refused to share his financial situation with me or accept my assistance. He expressed dissatisfaction with our current location, citing a lack of activity and friends, despite having only two close friends in California who live with their significant others and are always traveling so he would be alone a lot of the time.
Initially, he suggested a long-distance relationship, but his lack of commitment and concrete plans made me hesitant. Without a clear indication of his intentions or a timeline for our reunion, I find it difficult to maintain hope for our relationship. I dont know when Ill see him again and if I ask he just says he doesnt know anything, that right now he is focusing on taking care of his debt ($60,000)and regaining his life as a man.
He has since admitted that he may not have been fully prepared for the responsibilities of marriage and feels the need to stabilize his finances before committing to a relationship, let alone a wife. Note that Im very independent and never have asked him for money. Not for a single thing, just that he pays half of the rent. When he couldnt make it, I still helped him and covered ALL expenses. Our entire year here I stood by him, i didnt pressure him for nice things even though I miss them and I personally could afford them. Going to dinners, going to the movies, having drinks with friends, etc that was non existent. Maybe three times in the entire year we did that. We spent the entire year at the house on the couch watching movies and eating fast food. I didnt care, I knew this was temporary and that he was my husband, for better or worse. I felt bad leaving the house without him to do anything so I never did it but I also didnt want to sponsor EVRYTHING in his life, that didnt feel right as a woman and my tradiotional outlook on relationships. In the beginning I was extremely resentful because I thought he didnt love me enough to do anything with me or take care of me but eventually through therapy and being more patient and seeing his perspective, I realized he was just depressed and couldnt cope, so his financial life was going down the drain and it wasnt about me. Or so I thought.
We always had a plan to move back together because I see myself living there full time but at this time I had zero job prospects there. The maximum I could get was $48k with benefits and given that he doesnt have the capacity to provide (at least now or at least for me ), it seems stupid to leave my job and my security blanket. I worked really hard in my career whereas he only has jobs, not a career per se. Im more than willing to prioritize a family over career but I need security in the main pillars : love and finances. I always felt like he loved me but now I'm doubting everything.
He has expressed a desire to return to California and is moving in two weeks, where he feels more at home, despite the uncertainty of job prospects for him there. If he lost his business and all his income(he works for himself) while being in Michigan, what makes him think that wont happen in California? He is moving with his dad at first suposedly to get back on his feet but I dont know how true this is. This is the last thing he said to me. Later I find out he was cashing some of his invesments to move but not from him; I accidentaly read it on an email. Maybe this is how he is moving there?
This sudden upheaval has left me scrambling to adjust, as I cannot afford our current apartment on my own and I just lost the life we had together and most importantly OUR DOG.We were a little family. I have 5 days to move to a new apartment.Despite my efforts to support him, he remains distant and uncertain about our future together, particularly since I began packing so quickly in response to my impending move. I had to start moving things along as I only have 5 DAYS to restructure my life. He commented that he thought this process would be easier and that hes unsure of the future because he has nothing to offer me right now.
I'm left wondering if there's any hope for our relationship and if he will ever be willing to communicate with me again. I understand his frustration and depression, but I struggle to comprehend why he would give up on our relationship when I have consistently stood by him. Why can't he be honest or straightforward? I understand moving for a job , but he doesnt have that and I could understand dealign with his mental health, but why abandon me?
Is there a chance for us to reconcile, or should I accept that it may be time to let go?
Do I give him time to process this? Im just confused and he wont talk to me. Apparently, in two weeks, I'll have a new life and I don't even know if im single or if he plans on being single? Do I wait for him?
Any straight males reading this, please advice. What should I do? What is going through his head, what can I do? Will he reach out once he is there?
Im spiriling, so welpp!

This is an update from this post from a couple of days ago: https://www.reddit.com/psx/s/bS5ukTPp8I
We managed to resolder the connector into the board cleanly, so that is not an issue anymore (or maybe it is, I don't really know anymore).
After that, I went back to plug the PS1 to test it, and CDs began spinning again, awesome, but there were some issues with it.
I need to add more context about this pS1, I bought it less than a week ago, it came modchipped as a surprise, I didn't even know it was. I have no clue what chip it has nor the quality of the mod itself, but it was chipped, as it came with 1 non original game with it (Moto Racer 2). So the first test I made was running the game to see if: 1.- was actually modchipped, 2.- Could properly read the CDs.
And it did, sort of. It read the game, so it was modchipped, but the FVMs were extremely laggy, and load times were incredibly long (and often needing to restart the game multiple times). Needless to say, I've never had a ps1 before so this was all new to me. I began to investigate what might be the cause for this, and of course everything aimed to the laser. So I began to follow the guide for the drive maintenance (linked in the og post), and that's when the og post issue happened, the connector broke.
Fast forward to today, we got the connector resolved and working again, but this time, whenever I tried to read the backup game (Moto Racer 2) it just read it as an audio CD. In general, it can read any audio CD just fine, but that backup game went from being read terribly slow and laggy, to straight audio CD.
I figured following the lens maintenance guide (this time with the resoldered connector, not breaking it) would fix this, but nothing changed
I'm not sure if the resolder went wrong and that might be causing it or not, it was resoldered very cleanly with no bridges and I'd assume if something went wrong, it would straight up not read anything. Maybe too much manipulation of the drive itself broke or deteriorated the laselens, not sure. I've read about the potentiometer fix but I've also read that could also break it entirely. If it's my last resort I'll do it, nothing to lose really if it's not working already, but I wanted to know if anyone had any clue what might be happening and what could I do.
There is also one thing I still need to test and that's original games. I don't have any original game in hand to test, so it might as well be reading original games just fine without me knowing it, will test this with a cheap game when I buy it this week.
Any help is appreciated.

Hello all. Seeking some advice/opinions/perspective from the wise women here. Long post coming! I (35F) have been dating my boyfriend (40M) for about 15 months. He has a daughter (7 yo) who up until approximately 5 months ago was living with her mother in another state. Five months ago, the mother got into some trouble with the law (drug use issues), resulting in him now having his daughter full time in the state we live in.
The first ~12 months of our relationship, I grew accustomed to it just being him and I (we live separately but ~15 minutes away from each other) - going to dinner, happy hour, concerts, plan trips, etc. Doing whatever we want/whenever we want. Having his daughter around full time obviously has changed the dynamic. Although the three of us spend time together often, I can't help but start to have doubts about the relationship moving forward. It is an evolving situation but his plan is to fight for full legal custody of his daughter, but he has not started the process yet so not sure what it will look like in the future if/how the mother will have more involvement. He is great guy, I love him and we get along well and I was enjoying the trajectory of our relationship, but I can't help but miss the way things were for the first year of our relationship. He has no immediate family nearby to help out so I know this has been an adjustment for him as well - taking care of her, balancing work, and his relationship with me. His daughter is a great kid and we have fun together, but just not sure if I "fit" into the equation. I do not have any children of my own and have never really envisioned myself having children or becoming a stepmom. I was hopeful of a future together - moving in together, marriage, etc. but feel now that the new situation will cause a delay in these plans and not sure I am the right person to take on a full 'step mom' role. I am not opposed to dating men with children, I think it's just the fact that right now he is caretaker 100% of the time has made it difficult for us to have solo dates (maybe 4 in the last 5 months) and even intimate time. It's a tough situation due to the mother's history of drug use and I think he is absolutely doing the right thing for his daughter to keep her safe. He is doing his best - I think it is just up to me to decide if I fit in.
Anyone ever been in a similar situation? How did you navigate it? I feel hesitant to "discard" this relationship prematurely without knowing how the future situation with the two parents/custody will evolve. But also feel torn that I don't want to waste time in a situation that isn't 'ideal' for me. Any input/guidance/words of wisdom are appreciated!

I just binged watched the series. Gotta say the first 6 episodes were great. However it really lost its momentum after that. I give it 7/10
I would've changed a few things that i think would've been better.
Ps this is just my opinion. This is more of a rant but i hope u enjoy.
These are the problems/potential solutions with the show in my opinion.
SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS
With the first episode and the first scene. I think showing the quick fight scene with one of the exiled Ninjas was kind of a waste of action that could've been used somewhere else. I also think they should've shown the face hologram reveal here. I think the face hologram kinda ruined it in a way since the best action was from Higan with that hologram on his face. We don't see his real face til the best action of the show is done. I think it would be cool if the audience sees his true face while the world he is in sees the hologram face. Maybe a scene at the grocery store while he looks in the window sees his reflection and its the hologram face while the audience sees his real face. My second gripe with Episode 1 is the best episode of the whole series. It is the episode that pulls you in and makes you watch the whole series. But as much as i loved the episode i feel like they should have stretched it out into 2 episodes. Like I said at the beginning with the unknown exiles ninja getting his very own fight scene yet Mari (Higan's wife) she barely showed any action throughout the whole show. I wish they just showed the ending of the exiled ninja where he is executed. Then shifts to Higan and his family living their best life while 1 by 1 exiled ninjas are killed. Then the night of the family's demise we see Mari show her skills as a ninja. Maybe a side by side shot of both of them fighting/killing. Maybe showing that just by the sheer numbers and the fact that she was protecting her son then going all out would lead to her downfall. I think stretching out that sequence with Mari showing her skills would've been better than showing a random exile showing off only to be killed off in a min. I think by the time Higan is in the hospital clutching his fist as he is in the hospital bed would be a great way to end episode 1. Then the hospital scene would be extended. Showing the fight scene where the fbi guy discovered the bodies. Then the whole scene for when Higan burns down his home and puts on the mask would be episode 2. I think extending episode 1 into 2 episodes would have been better.
For the side characters none of them really stuck out for me. Except for Emma and maybe Dilly. As for Morris he really wasn't necessary in the plot. I feel like Emma should have played a more prominent role over Morris given the backstory she has and her relationship with Mari (Higan's wife). She like many others had potential that was wasted. I think if she was the main side character the story would flow better. It felt like to me that Morris was just thrown in there for nothing. As well as the former chief of the ninja clan that Higan was apart of. He is portrayed as a healer that use to be with the clan but turns out he is the dead former head. He used some ninjutsu technique that kept his head alive. I feel like his presence should have played either a bigger role than it did or shouldn't have existed to begin with.
As for the villains i can say all of them were unfortunately disappointing. Especially Zai and Yamari who had the biggest potential. As for the other villains (afro guy, little pervert, Joseph, etc.) they felt like they were just added to the story to fill in the episodes. Joseph had too much screen time. I believe he should've been more of a subordinate than a "partner" with Yamari. Following his orders instead being a whiny annoying little shit. Yamari fell flat as well had a kool ninjutsu technique that he only used once. I was expecting a big show down between him and Higan but it didn't live up to the hype. Zai had the most upside former friend of Higan and Mari who was left behind when they fled to be a normal married couple while he stayed in the clan. Out of all the characters Zai had the most development. Solid backstory but his transition from big bad to anti hero/villain was sloppy.
For the mech and Ninjutsu stuff. This was could've been so good ninjutsu mixed with Mech could have been cool but how it was executed turned into mech beating the shit out of ninjutsu. I would have had the mech be used as like a booster to the ninja and his techniques making his/her ninjutsu techniques even more destructive/powerful. But instead we got ninjutsu getting demoralized by the new tech mech. I wished they explored the techniques more and if and how the mechs could boost the effects of said techniques.Which ultimately started the downfall of Ninja Kamui.
Now the main character Higan
I liked his true design not the hologram face. Especially his mask. I was disappointed that the mask was destroyed so soon. His character for the first couple episodes was good. But he went from this rage filled demon out for vengeance into a moody middle age man. His development was weird and not satisfying. His ending was disappointing as well.
What i would change with Higan would be that he didn't survive his death at the hands of the assassins. He used some ninjutsu technique that has allowed him to live a little longer. I think this would go well with the fast pace that we had the first few episodes. With each passing episode Higan gets more reckless and ruthless knowing his time is limited and running out. I think Higan should've died after completing his vengeance. I think he wouldn't want to live anymore especially without his wife and son. I also think a few episodes seeing his upbringing with Mari and Zai would have been better than the fights with the little pervert and Afro guy. I think it would have been cool for Zai to get redemption and live on for Higan and Mari.
Episode 1 would be stretched into 2 episodes
Episode 2-5 wouldn't change that much while episode 6-9 would be the backstory of Higan and the other seeing what drove them away in more detail. Episode 10-13 would be the Higan facing Zai, Emma death, final showdown between Higan and Yamari. With NO CGI FIGHTS
Again this is just my opinion i really did like the show but it definitely wasted a ton of potential everywhere

Hi! I want to learn kurdish to impress my bf/bf family without him knowing. I can do the apps and youtube (and I have been) but I know from learning languages in the past that person to person learning with someone that kno2s the language is most effective.
Does anyone have any ideas of where to start my search process??
Thanks in advance 😊

I am an HSP and my sister is not. I think I might be autistic as well, my sister is not. She has a really shitty job where she's posing as a teacher, but she's actually just a bouncer expected to keep 30 middle schoolers from killing each other for 7 hours a day 5 days a week. I'm fully aware that her life sucks right now and that she's hella depressed and she's not having a good time. That's not new. What is new is the boyfriend that she's had for a few months now. I'll call him L. I didn't love L at first, I just thought he was kind of a bad influence, but in the time they've dated, L has had a couple of serious freakouts. When they were freshly seeing each other and not even exclusive, he got really mad at my sister for still having tinder on her phone. I don't believe anything she says to me anymore, so she could have been using it for nefarious purposes, but I don't think she was considering she's so far up his ass she can see out of his mouth. I really didn't trust him after that, but I hung out with him to humor my sister, since she literally would not hang out with me unless she could have him there. It was fine until a few weeks ago, when my sister walked into she and L's house in a crop top and he instantly started griping about it, to which I said "so everyone at the beach should be arrested then, yeah" and gave him a funny look, and he went fucking ballistic. Ended up kicking me out of his house without letting me say anything to defend myself or apologize, and then he hurled insults at me until I was out the door. She moves in, I'm banned from her house, and I'm concerned what that means for my sister and I's relationship, but my sister actually got mad at me for being concerned because "it didn't have anything to do with me". Fast forward to Mother's day and yesterday: she invites him to family dinner without telling me, whatever, I don't care. But she asks during dinner if she can have a copy of my parents camping schedule to know when they're gone, and I started panicking because I was like "she's going to bring him here to live it up in my space because they're not going to be here to say no" because she does not show up for me if she can't involve him. She hasn't done it in months. So I said "please don't bring him here to corner me while I'm here by myself over the summer. You don't live here anymore so please be mindful of those who still do" and somehow she took it as me saying she was a bitch for bringing him on mother's day. Instead of talking to me about all of this herself, she fucking gave L my number so he could spam text me hate messages until I blocked him. I'm just left here wondering what the hell I did and why she's acting like this. She's lying to me, all last week she said she would be home Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, then Friday I didn't even get a text saying she wouldn't be there, I was just left waiting for her to show up until fucking 8pm. Then she decided that I'm the despicable one who has been hurting her all this time. I don't even know what I'm looking for, I think I'm just at a loss and want to get this off my chest. Literally all I've ever asked for is some adult fucking communication. Letting me know you're not going to be here before our plans are literally fucking over. Telling me when you're bringing your boyfriend over to my space. ACTUALLY TALKING TO ME WHEN YOU HAVE AN ISSUE INSTEAD OF GETTING SOMEONE ELSE TO FUCKING DO IT. I don't know. I know she's being a coward and a child. I just want it to stop.

Hi so I‘ve been living in this WG for two years. This is a very old WG and my landlord neglected maintaining this property for 6 years before I moved in, and now they suddenly became very picky on everything after one tenant (who used to be their friend) moved out, and kind of want to force me to move out and pay for used furniture by threatening me. And what they did exactly was keeping a spare key after the one tenant moved out and entering the house whenever they wanted, without letting me and my roommate know. Then they took pictures of old furniture and stuff that were destroyed years ago and say me and my roommate did it. I asked them to return the spare key, and they refused. I kept the message of them refusing to return the key.
I actually only had a one-year-contract, so it’s already expired, but I also have asked Berlin Mieterverein about this and their answer is 1. They’ve got no right to kick me out 2. If I want to keep them out, change the lock. But changing the lock costs great money and my landlord will have even better reasons to threaten me. So now what I really want is to find a way to let my landlord give me the spare key and stop harassing me for good… they told me they kept the key so when new tenant is to come they can give it to them, hell no that’s not an answer. And they already entered the property several times without any good excuse. And also I really wanna know how to find out my landlord’s email address so I can file a real complaint to them. Have been using WhatsApp all the time and hell I regret that If anyone could help with this, I’d be really really thankful, my landlords are scaring me in the past 2 months..

I thought maybe he was turning around and finally understanding. Even the PT tried to explain why it'd help. I could do less than 10% of what was considered normal in my testing and my symptoms flared badly.
On the ride home he yelled at me, pretty much telling me the idea was stupid. I know my city is inaccessible, but I can't even leave the house even if I wanted to now. He chalked up my issues as mild and wasn't listening at all.
I can't drive as well because of POTS making me extremely dizzy and out of it while in cars, and he yelled at me for that, too. As if i choose to not be able to do shit (to which ive expressed how unhappy I am with this)
I feel so trapped. he even drove to a planet fitness and pointed out every little thing on our way that was inaccessible, which I am WELL AWARE OF. i literally can't leave the house like this and I just want my independence
I don't have ANYONE else who can vouch or do this for me. It feels like I'm just trapped and it feels like he doesn't care, or at least he doesn't see my pain and problems as "real"
I thought this would be a step in the right direction but it's not. I don't think he's gonna go through with it. i know my disease is going to get worse the more I keep on like this, and I already can't do more than 3 things a day on my feet without being wiped out with pain and exhaustion
I know I'm rambling but im super upset and I just can't take it anymore

So I’m a 17 year old guy who is the son of two somewhat religious immigrant parents. I’m pretty sure I’m bi, and right now things are going good. Me and my family both now know for sure that I’m going to college and that it won’t be too expensive, and we are all thrilled over this. Theoretically, it would be a good time to come out right now.
However, my parents aren’t very accepting of queer people. To be fair, they used to be a lot worse about it. We used to have lots of fights about it because my dad’s been speculating that I’m queer for the longest time, but every time we’d fight about it I’d decline that I was. Recently, my mom told me that she told my father a while ago that she wouldn’t shun me out just because of my queerness after one of my fights. I assume she thought it wasn’t that relevant of a thing to tell me now, because as far as I know they’re under the impression I’m straight. My mom’s still religious, but my dad has been coming out of that religiousness a little bit more, but is still at the end of the day spiritual. With college season going on for the past year, he’s made it clear that he’s extremely proud of me and loves me very much. But like I said, he used to be very homophobic and just half a year ago he said that coming out as trans, even though I’m not, would be his biggest disappointment ever and that he would have failed as a parent (the context is a long story…). Besides, I know how laying on the news of your queerness can lead to reactions that you might’ve thought were completely out of character, just because they’re coming from a place of anger. So at the end of the day, I really can’t tell how they’d react, but I’m pretty sure for other reasons that no matter what my parents would still pay for my tuition and wouldn’t kick me out.
So my dilemma arises: Of course, I don’t technically need to come out ever! But if I were to come out, I’m trying to decide if doing so now would be fine, or if it would be better to do it while I’m in college.
If I’m in college, the plan would be to come out like right after my dad has paid my monthly college payment during a school break, that way he has no way of going back on that for another month while he processes. This would also be good since I’d be leaving a few days later, for example if I did it during winter break, and it’d be easier for my parent’s to process with me at school instead of having to see me every day and act like nothing’s different. Not having to see them and be in the awkwardness until they’re done processing would also be MUCH better for my mental health. Then, I’d slowly start contacting my parents again a couple of weeks later until we’re at least a little bit more comfortable with each other again, that way I can also remind them comfortably that the next college payment is due soon. Giving them at least until my winter break would also give them more time to grow and become even more accepting. Who knows, maybe even them being away from me for a few months would make them more accepting yet. And slowly, we’d just kind of get over it, I’d hope.
The other option is that I come out to them now. Like I’m talking in the next month. So like I said it might not be that bad of an idea because right now my parents are at like peak proudness of me, what with graduating high school and also now officially going to college without having to kill their wallets. Unfortunately, it would probably soil the first half of my summer vacation, if not the whole thing and possibly make things awkward before going to college. And also like I said, they’ve been getting better about being open-minded, but they’re still growing. They have a lot of work to do still, so coming out now would warrant an unpredictable reaction. Best case scenario though, it’s only awkward for a bit and we’re mostly back to normal by the time I go to college. Then, I can also date normally in college and not have to tell any guy I get with “oh btw I’m not technically out to my parents yet.” The awkwardness during the summer though would be unbearable. There’s a lot we need to do and discuss together over the summer, like shopping for my dorm, getting my driver’s license and debit card, my birthday, college orientation, as well as orthodontist, dermatologist, and optometrist appointments. I feel like coming out would at the very least make all of that grueling, if not impossible.
So what do you guys think???

Hey I’m a 13 year old girl. Sorry if this is badly written English isn’t my first language and I was crying when I wrote this.
So the thing is that I feel like people are blaming me for stuff. It’s hard to explain but here is an example: Me and four friends were on a beach hanging out, sunbathing and chilling. Me and one of the girls decided to dip our feet in the water. So we’re sitting there and I ask her if she wants to see who can make the biggest whirlwind whit our feet. She says yes and we start moving our feet around , then she accidentally splashes herself. She gets mad then she runs over to our friends and says that I splashed her. I walk over cause and she accuses me of splashing her. I’m confused as heck and says “but you splashed yourself?” She starts arguing with me and saying I’m gaslighting her and my friends believe her and doesn’t even hear me out. They’re saying they know I’m lying and stuff and I’m just so confused and am just trying to explain what happened but no one listens to me. And I know this might not sound like a big deal, it’s not it’s just that its not the first time she has done something like this she will spill something on her self or drop something, blame it on me and get super mad if I defend myself and she’ll say I’m gaslighting her or that I’m lying and I know I should just ignore it but my friend’s instantly believe her and ignores anything I said. It just makes me sad because this has happened to me all throughout my childhood whit my parents they always blame me I’m the scapegoat. If something happens I’m guilty until proven otherwise.
Now I don’t know what im really asking but I think I just kinda wanted to vent I don’t really have anyone to talk to about this.

My life is just a mess, i woke up this morning and the first thing i thought about was me offing myself
I don't know if anyone can relate to any of this but here i go rambling on:
I have an older sibling, they are one of those perfect kids with perfect grades and i guess everyone just espects me to be as good at everything as they are. But i am not, and everyone just expects me to do as well as them and i don't. Everything i do is like in their shadow and i am never me, i am always my siblings brother.
Today was shit. I always thought I was good at one of my subjects, it was the one thing that people told me i was good at and it was the one thing i had that my sibling didn't. Today i sat down with the teacher, and he told me my coursework was terrible and that we needed to have a serious chat about my work, which has crippled my self esteem. I just have so much stress and pressure on me right now to do well, i have an exam tomorrow and i have four sets of coursework to do at the same time. I just can't handle it anymore.
I also just suck at everything, like i have no social skills, its been 4 years and i have had many an opportunity to come out, but i am still too chicken to do it.
My boyfriend killed himself a few months ago, and i managed to make it through that but at this point i am questioning wether my life is even worth saving, it holds no value, i have no impact on the world, and no one would notice it was gone, i honestly think some people would be glad for it.
I guess no one will probably read this cos it's so long but thanks for all the good memories from this sub.

I am looking for a writing software for Android and desktop devices (web application works fine!) on which I can write my novel. Earlier I used to work Evernotes, but recently realized that the free version only has 50 notes in total limitation. Have used Google Docs in past during NaNoWriMo as well.
These are the features I am looking for: – The app should have a good formatting system with fonts. – The app should be able to do cross-device & cross-platform syncing. (Majorly Android to Windows and/or web application) – The should have folders or notebook feature like Evernotes. – If I can add images to the documents (temporarily for muse) that would be great! – I also want that the app is able to export the novel chapters into PDF and docx format easily without any lose of original formatting. – Online cloud syncing of the content is a must!
These are the major features that I am looking for.
If anyone knows any free app that will help with this, that would be great. Thanks in advance!

im gonna go into full explicit detail about everything that happened from a-z. and i want opinions
i met this guy at a social event and we clicked instantly (as friends because i had another bf at the time and hes gonna become relevant in the story). lets just call the guy at the event john and lets call my ex alex. me and alex broke up about 3 days after i met john and i started to develop feelings for john. me and alex ended up trying to “talk things out” even tho i was just attached and wanted the attachment to wear off. so we were “talking” but we werent exclusive and had no boundaries and i knew i was eventually going to cut alex off because i didnt see a future with him, i just was attached because we had memories and he was my first ever boyfriend
me and john liked each other, on october 7th we kissed. and about 4 days later i met up with alex and “hooked up” which i later found out he sexually assaulted me
i was avoiding john because the entire situation was hard on me and i was tired of having to choose because i was the first girl john ever liked and i felt bad about kissing him and i DIDNT want a relationship (at the time) slowly, john blocked me because he had enough and thats when i realized i didnt want alex anymore. i cut alex off for john. john asked me if i met up with alex after me and him kissed and i said no because my god forsaken self fucking forgot, as much as it sounds like an excuse, its not. i had no memory of seeing alex after me and john kissed. and so me and john started to become exclusive after we met up and talked things out. i told him i didnt see alex after me and john kissed.
we dated and we were so happy until we broke up for a few days because he wasnt ready for a relationship, we got back together and we were happy.
theres the part where i start to fuck up. and i wont deny a single thing i did
theres a guy named eric, or at least we will call him that. i used to “like” eric, not even like i just thought he was cute. nothing too deep. im friends with his girlfriend and she trusts me enough because she knows i feel nothing for him, but she trusts me to come to me whenever they have issues in the relationship because she KNOWS its nothing like that
theres another guy named timmy, timmy and eric go to the same school so theyre in the same class. timmy is spreading shit rumors about me and its no fucking rumor anyone could ignore. it was a rumor where i had a “sex tape”, have 3 bodies, and had sex with john even tho non of it is fucking true. it was getting so bad my friends were getting dms saying “your little friend had sex with her boyfriend and i have proof”. it was so fucking bad. not to mention, im a minor and i live in a small fucking country shit gets spread so fast here. and so i would go to eric as ask him about timmy because i was gonna take legal action against timmy because it was going so fucking far. and john didnt like that. because he knew i used to “like” eric. which i fucking didnt and i just thought the dude was good looking lol
and so i would only speak to eric to ask about timmy and i would let john know about. except this one god forsaken time where i didnt show a fucking continuation of a conversation and he got so mad he started threatening to break up with me
keep in mind, im an anxious attachment and im pretty sure john is avoidant even tho in the relationship he was surely an anxious so i dont know cause we havent spoken in a fucking month lmao
we both are borderline by the way.
so this is a part where i fuck up
the reason why i use the name eric is because eric is like someone who associates himself with eric cartmen from south park, he makes him his entire personality and its just a joke between him and everyone 😭 as immature as it sounds, i dressed up as eric cartmen for characters day in school and i showed eric the outfit because i thought it was funny and didnt think anything of it. i didnt show john but i didnt hide it from him either because i know john would go through my phone and i didnt see anything wrong with what i did, until he went through my phone and saw the chat, keep in mind, i do delete chats with my friends sometimes because i dont want john to see some things because of privacy, not out relationship, but between me and a specific few girls he doesnt like and doesnt want me to be friends with
and so he saw the message and got upset, and i took the hint that this guy just doesnt want me to interact w eric at all and i understood but i understood him way too fucking late and he broke up with me
which for some reason my dumbass was shocked even tho he made it clear that he didnt want me speaking to john so this is where i realized i fucked up
i took it as a lesson and learned to not do it again but i was too late
me and john break up and i wanted him back badly. an hour after the breakup i started posting on my story about a random guy that i made up and acted like i liked him to piss off john and make him jealous which was a bad fucking idea
to me, the more someone doesnt want me, the more i want them. thats how i thought it was
and he found out and got pissed off. he ended up texting alex and found out i met up with alex after me and john kissed. but no one was aware that i was actually sexually assaulted by alex and i found out later because my friend went through the same thing. me and john stayed talking to see if we could work it out and i fucked up by telling him to stop basing our relationship over something from the past that happened over 8 months ago. he got pissed and blocked me
i later found out he followed back the girl he told me not worry about and said he didnt know why he was attracted to her but at same time would say “i dont know if shes actually pretty or if im trying to move on” (as in move on from me) i got so fucking pissed, i texted the girl w my friend we and told her that john was using her and a rebound. john found out, threatened to ruin my life and was so fucking mad over it, but i later then realized he just thought she was pretty and didnt want her like that. i ended up apologizing to john because i wanted him back but it didnt work because he was standing on business lmfao
during this time, my friend told me he would always consider going back to me and missed me and loved me so much. and john did love me. a LOT. he bought me flowers, a ring, everything. like he did everything for me and he did love me so deeply
and now we havent spoken over a month and its slowly killing me because my friend who was close with him said he was dead set with his decision n doesnt wanna get back with me. i dont know if this will change because right now he has new priorities like studies since hes graduating soon. but right now, he seems dead set with his decision even tho his biggest fear was losing me. i saw the way he would talk about me and we were so deeply in love.
but john thinks i cheated on him with what happened with alex. my friend told him he sexually assaulted me but it was very vague and he doesnt know the details.
i was johns first love. first EVERYTHING. we broke up march 18 and last spoke april 19 where he thought i was shit talking him and i proved i wasnt. he later said he was worried about me but right now he doesnt seem to care.
please dont tell me to “let him go”. if u have any other opinions on what u think will happen and if he will come back please let know because i really want him back. my family friend who is a psychic told me he was coming back if this helps lol.
let me know if u guys think hes coming back. this is all fresh but yea.

About to start prepping for the third time (I’d say kill me but I’m trying to maintain a positive attitude) and I’m not sticking with Kaplan. Can’t say enough bad things honestly. I’m piecing together my own prep and am looking to buy adaptibar and/or UWorld, and probably GOAT outlines.
Before buying, I was wondering if anyone had a referral or discount code for any of the above? I don’t know if that’s even offered, but figured I’d ask. Thank you in advance :)

I (M23) and my best friend (M23) both attended a mutual’s friend’s party earlier in the day and went out to some bars afterwards. We both got drunk and we were drinking for hours before we went. I ended up meeting and hooking up with a girl at the bar and I was talking to her for most of the night. My friend ended up talking and meeting another girl which we realized at the end of the night was the girl that I hooked up with’s friend. We all got food together after the bar closed where he asked if we could all go back to mine house. I obliged and the two girls brought an additional friend with them. We all took an Uber and when we arrived to my house, my best friend had to use the bathroom and went into some bushes on my lawn. I started to let everyone in and told everyone to be quiet while we entered my house. I still live at home with my parents and left the door open for my friend who was using the bathroom outside. About 1 minute later my friend rang the doorbell thinking he got locked out which woke up my mom and dad, and as a result got them worried thinking something happened because it was 3 am. I explained I was bringing some people back from the bar, which they do not have a problem with as long as we are quiet. As we got to my house the girl that I hooked up with and her friend immediately fell asleep on my couch. My friend continued to make advances on the friend he was talking to, as she was still up while her friends and the girl I was going to get with fell asleep. My mom still awoken up by my friend ringing the door bell came downstairs to find two random girls sleeping on her couch. I talked to her and told her what happened, we both agreed that it was best to have them leave as they were people I didn’t know other than meeting them at the bar earlier in the night. When I went back to wake them up and ask them nicely to leave, I found my best friend and the girl he was with having sex in the other room on our living room couch. I told my friend to get up and that I needed to talk to him, which he responded that he was busy. I told him it was important and he put his clothes on and came over to me, which I then explained that I had to get everyone out because my mom did not want people over anymore. He then called me jealous and a piece of shit of shit for wanting him out while he was having sex with another girl in my parents house. They eventually all got in an Uber and left and I went to bed. I awoke the next day to my friend apologizing that he pushed me to have everyone over. I told him that wasn’t the issue but that he has a lack of respect for me. He not only rang the doorbell at 3am which woke up and upset parents when he knows my parents are always home when we come back that late, but he tried to have sex on our living room couch which I find disrepctful and disgusting. And instead of helping me remove everyone he said that I was a piece of shit. I told him over text how I felt the next day for which he did apologize for and said he was drunk and needed to be better. I want to let this go, but I think the biggest issue here is since we are so close and my parents know him well that he thinks he can act anyway he wants in my parent’s house. There have been other times that I have let go in the past where we have come back to mine after the bar and he immediately goes into the kitchen and starts eating and making any food he can find without asking beforehand. On top of this, he never has anyone over at his and I guarantee if I acted in anyway close to this, his parents would not appreciate it and make me leave. I feel like since he never has people over, he doesn’t know what it is like to host and deal with people and acts the way he does. Aitah here for getting mad at him?

Ok overall, I loved it. I was absolutely hooked. But I just have to see if anyone else agrees with these few opinions I do have.
1) Basically everything was chefs kiss up until Mina left and Nic died. I’ll never forgive them for not having Mina there when Nic died. I just hate to think how she would’ve reacted in Nigeria finding out about it and knowing she wasn’t there to help. (And yes, I know it’s fiction but I’m immersing myself lol)
2) To piggyback on the departures of Nic and Mina, I know it was both of their personal decisions to leave, which is arguably better than a lot of other current procedural shows who just kick favorite characters off at random (cough SVU cough) but I still hate that they left, and it almost ruined the show for me.
3) Bell’s character development felt so quick that it was almost more like they completely retconned him? Like, I feel like he went from conniving, sinister, I’ll-kill-to-protect-my-image, straight to Kit’s lovey-dovey husband with a heart of gold in 5 seconds flat. I don’t even know if I could cite the event that changed him. Also, was his tremor from season 1 supposed to be the first sign of his MS? Or are they unrelated? And if so, where did it go for all those years in between?
4) Billie. I’d say I don’t like the character in general but there are certain things I did appreciate. I liked the variety of the storyline with her and Trevor not having your traditional happy ending of “Mother reunifies with long-lost son and immediately falls into the bond they would’ve had all along.” But I don’t like that she stuck around, and I don’t like that they made Conrad so quick to drop the whole “I don’t agree with your ethics” thing he had against her. It felt trivialized imo.
5) Speaking of Billie… I hate to say it, but I don’t think she and Conrad should’ve been endgame. It kind of goes back to what I said about Conrad getting over his issues toward her too fast, but it also just felt wrong to me. It felt like he was just looking for the closest thing he could get to Nic, and obviously that was Billie considering she was Nic’s closest friend. I would’ve much more appreciated a storyline where they tried to make it work and agreed it just wasn’t right. It felt icky to me. Like when a guy marries his wife’s sister after she dies.
6) On that note, I honestly think they dropped the ball with Cade and Conrad’s storyline. I think Cade was similar to Nic in that she challenged Conrad. The go-team scenes always kinda felt like when Nic and Conrad had a difficult case together. The dynamic was so there. The writers just didn’t nurture it. I would’ve liked to see a little more character development in Cade, with her starting to open up more, and that was starting when they solved the Medicare fraud thing, and when she opened up to him about Ian going to rehab. It was just too late. They could’ve done so much more with it imo.
Anyway, that’s basically it. I’m probably breaking some fandom tenants by opposing Billie and Conrad but I’ll take that risk. Overall tho, loved the show. Now I need something new to fill the void lol

Will and Sharon set about gathering the things they needed including the spell book in a backpack while I sat with an uneasy feeling. I was nervous and excited watching them flit in and out the room while getting various items. I figured it was best not to ask what these things were or why we needed, what looked like chicken feet, probably asking would delay them and they seem to be in a hurry. Then my coat was being brought to me by Sharon. I must have zoned out because they both had theirs on already. “Come on honey, Wills in the car waiting.” We left heading back to the care home. My heart was pounding in my chest. I opened the window, the blast of cool night air kept me focused and conscious, “Sorry” I said “I need some fresh air do you mind I can close it if you are cold.” I added reminding myself of my manners. I'm in their car, I should have asked first. “It's OK you were looking a bit pale there I was going to suggest you open it” replied Will. We will be arriving soon, I recognise the area. I take some deep breaths, we near the building I can see most of the lights are off in the rooms. “Maybe we should wait for daylight?, that thing is going to be hard to find in the dark”. “Don't worry we won't need to find it. We will summon it into a safe place it can't escape from” Sharon explained as we pulled into the car park “we will go into the kitchen there won't be anyone in there it's after 10pm now I have a key to the back door. Wait here. We will set up the stuff and will come get you when it's ready. We will be 10 minutes tops.” and with that they both exited the car leaving me alone I locked the doors on instinct I thought that thing can't be far away it's probably watching me right now I feel the night breeze on my face. Damn the window I hit the button the whirring started then stopped short an inch from the top. I hit the button again but nothing it wasn't working. Why the hell, what's wrong with this thing? The engine is still running bang! The car rocked as if something slammed into it at speed. I look around searching for the reason that just happened then I see the long black fingers snaking into the opening of the window. I soothed over to the other side of the car and reached for the handle. It didn't work then I remembered I had locked it. I pinch the lock in a bid to flee to the kitchen but I see the death entity's red eyes outside that window. I panic thinking how can I escape it's heads on one side and hands at the other side impossibly squeezing through the gap reaching for me. I'm cowering in the back seat pleading for Sharon and Will to come save me from this thing that clearly wants to get to me “Open the dooooor!” it hissed”, “Open it… Open! IT! NOWW!” it roared. NO! What did I ever do to deserve this!? Tell me why you want to hurt me , kill me, Why?” I didn't need to know why I didn't want to know why I was just trying to keep it busy it seemed as though it knew if it squeezed itself inside the car far enough it wouldn't be able to see me anymore and I would escape “Don't think you can escape me this time human your life is mine. I wondered when you would return to this house of death. I must kill you! ” it hissed “Why must you kill me I haven't done anything to you, you killed my friends they never did anything to you why did you do that I understand you killing the old ones they have lived their lives but why me? I'm young, I didn't tell anyone what I saw, who would believe me?” I have to keep it occupied “But you did see me didn't you that is why!?, now open the door!” I saw light as the door opened from the kitchen. “No you do it I won't help you kill me no way.” I see them approaching quietly reaching for something in the bag. The snaking hand found the door lock and pulled it up. The things hand retreated out of the window as the thing crawled down the car to the now unlocked door it pulled at the handle as I reached for the lock and handle of the other door and bolted to Sharon and Will. I turned to see the death entity slowly advancing after me “Ah ha ha more souls for my collection” it taunted. Will pulled me and Sharon backwards we made our way slowly walking as it advanced on us grinning, showing its weirdly enlarged teeth. They looked too big for its mouth and were a pale blue colour. We reached the door and piled inside Sharon slammed it shut with a huge exhale. “I thought we were gonners for real then. Fuck”. “It's not over that door won't stop it, whatever your plan is do it quickly” I said hurriedly. Will turned they had set up some candles and a pentagram chalked on the floor “Light those candles and stand in the middle he handed us both a lighter and we got the candles lit as the entity was turning the door handle chuckling that haunting laughter that haunts my dreams.
Part 6 to follow soon

I live in Poland (but don’t speak Polish) for context later. For the first year or so my sauna worked just fine without issues. But more than a year ago it started to trip the residual breaker after about 45 minutes. I could turn it back on and good times from there. My wife has been having an electrician come to check things (since I. Don’t speak Polish) and up to now he’s moved some of the electrical load off to other breakers, and replaced a couple wires for better ones. I’m convinced that it is because of being connected to a residual breaker that is shared with other circuits (RCD is 8-11, and covers circuits 12-24). But if not this, the heater itself would be my next suspect.
Does anyone have any perspective or has had something similar happen? I know there will be comments “call the electrician” or something to that effect. What I’m after is a bit of evidence that maybe ours wasn’t installed correctly, or that we are looking for the solution in the wrong place.

Long Vent/StoryTime.
I used to love my job. I loved being a barista
I would come in smiling just because I got to make drinks, work with people who also loved making drinks, and watch as these customers got what they wanted. I prided myself on memorizing every recipe. Every standard. Not a single thing was out of place. Sure there were drinks I didn’t like making, and the few customers who were rude were hard, but it was worth it.
My very first job. I loved it. It was my pride. I worked at a Tom Thumb Starbucks Kiosk. It was hard since I didn’t have any training, but I felt love in my work.
Fast forward to September, and everyone I worked with had now left. I was asked to be the new manager. I felt ecstatic, I was chosen to make the kiosk my own!
The first thing I wanted to do was make sure all baristas knew each other and worked together. Then make sure they all have the same training. Then add samples to boost sales. Then the cleaning routine evenly split between shifts. I had these plans and ideas.
About a month in, I noticed that my director was scheduling people outside of their availability. So I took it upon myself to make sure everyone got the shifts they needed according to the availability sheets I made. Then people started calling out. Sickness. Birthdays. Car trouble. Had prior obligations. Medical appointments. Excuse after excuse come in. And I gladly work the shifts. Because I loved my job.
Holiday came and went. No one had seen the work I did. My director consistently screamed at me because my baristas weren’t following what I was telling them. So I asked to make the schedule and take people off and write them up if it continued. I wasn’t granted that power. “Your job is to make people come in. If they don’t, you do, there is no excuse”
I worked tirelessly. Not able to manage the people under me. Not being heard by the people above me. I was the only manager in the entire store who didn’t do their schedule. I found out I was also paid significantly less than all the other department managers. Not .50 1.00, but 5 and 10 dollars less. With the same amount of experience.
Recently I’ve had no one come in on weekends. I open. Close. Do mid. Clean. Organize. And restock. All on my own. We also had 2 corporate locations close for remodel, so we’re pulling in 10-12 times the amount of customers. An average day 3 months ago was $500 and now I’m doing $6000 all by myself. Cold Bar. Warming. Customer Support. Bar. It’s just me. I’ve collapsed multiple times from sheer exhaustion and working alone 15 hours with no break 3-4 times a week. I’ve called HR. I’ve called my local labor departments. I’ve talked with my doctors and therapist.
Sunday was my breaking point. I’m now on bed rest by recommendation from my doctor because I’ve thrown out my back. Mother’s Day BOGO ruined me. And I had regular customers come back and say “what happened to the old -Aki- I used to see?” And I just sit there with bags under my eyes and tears down my face. Because I don’t know what happened. I don’t know what I did wrong.
I need my job. I can’t live without my $16/hr, and there isn’t another job paying that much around me, nor has corporate Starbucks accepted any of my applications. I was kicked out of my parents at 18. I have to be able to afford rent. I don’t have another option. I’m only 19 years old.
I used to love my job. And now. It’s slowly killing me. I can’t even begin to imagine what life could have been if I never worked at this store. This hell is the Tale of the Burnt Barista.
