Hey all, so I had a pc built for me a couple years ago, (don’t ask about parts because I have no clue) and recently it will just not connect to the wifi (it says “ No internet, secured”) or will disconnect randomly while I’m using it and refuse to connect until hours later. Oddly enough it works fine late at night and early morning (9pm-5am). I’m pretty sure it’s Windows 10. I also have a wifi adapter plugged in in order to get wifi, and ive replaced it to no avail. Any help is appreciated, TIA. I’m sure you guys might need more info so I’ll do my best to answer comments.

I'm currently trying to upgrade from 20.04 to 22.04.
I tried with this command on Ansible:
- name: Run do-release-upgrade ansible.builtin.command: /usbin/do-release-upgrade -f DistUpgradeViewNonInteractive
It simply just quits when I do that.
I tested it out via SSH without the frontend:
``` This session appears to be running under ssh. It is not recommended to perform a upgrade over ssh currently because in case of failure it is harder to recover.
If you continue, an additional ssh daemon will be started at port '1022'. Do you want to continue?
Continue [yN] y
Starting additional sshd
To make recovery in case of failure easier, an additional sshd will be started on port '1022'. If anything goes wrong with the running ssh, you can still connect to the additional one. If you run a firewall, you may need to temporarily open this port. As this is potentially dangerous it's not done automatically. You can open the port with e.g.: 'iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 1022 -j ACCEPT'

Updating repository information
No valid mirror found
While scanning your repository information no mirror entry for the upgrade was found. This can happen if you run an internal mirror or if the mirror information is out of date.
Do you want to rewrite your 'sources.list' file anyway? If you choose 'Yes' here it will update all 'focal' to 'jammy' entries. If you select 'No' the upgrade will cancel. ```
I suspect they're stopping at the SSH question or the mirror question.

My middle-aged mom reposts inspirational videos on her Instagram. She does it all the time because she wants to earn some money from this thing. Now, we're doing fine financially from her day-job. She has a staple income source form that job and we have a nice roof above our head.
However, she always wants more money; it's apparent with her being obsessed with winning the lottery and her trying to force me one time to find two dollar bills with a specific set of number to earn 6 figures selling them. We have a 0.001% chance of actually finding those specific dollar bills. Now, she wants to earn money from reels.
Her reels are not that great. She mainly just adds dumb gifs on top of the videos and types text filled with spelling mistakes (she's an immigrant parent). Those text boxes can even cover people's faces because to her, "Their faces don't matter." What kind of video reposter does that?
She's only been doing this for a few months and has like 620 followers. I could potentially help with this. I am a pretty good editor, and I could probably spend some time learning how to do reels for her.
The problem is, I have a lot of other stuff I need to do. For instance, I'm going to spend my summer vacation (I'm a high school student) learning Spanish. I'm Latino and my mom has been trying to get me to learn it for years. For various reasons, I don't learn it when I was younger and never made the best effort to learn it later on. She's implied her frustration with me not learning sooner. Now, I have nearly an entire summer to learn it. With a lot of time and focus, I know I can learn a lot of Spanish.
In addition, I want to spend my non-Spanish time watching various anime shows and playing various video games. Up until recently, I avoided a lot of popular media because I saw it as pointless. Up until a few months ago, l was mainly focused on just "learning, learning, learning." I also hated playing video games and saw anime as kind of weird. I finally broke free and learned to just relax and not be obsessed with learning like Mark from Peep Show.
This summer is my chance to consume this media because I've been swamped in schoolwork. I have a lot of interest in this media: I feel like mvself when I have the brief chance to consume it. Consuming this media also allows for me to connect with more people. In high school, I've made friends with various people, but I know that those relationships could be strengthen if I consumed more of their favorite media, stuff I'm actually really interested in checking out.
I don't want to spend lots of time in my day making several reels for my mom to make pennies on Instagram. I sound selfish, but ! want to just focus on me. We're ok financially. This is not an emergency. What do I do in this case? I'm thinking of just teaching my mom some CapCut editing tricks and how to screen record to make slightly better reels to solve this, but if I have this ability to edit why not use it? I'm at a crossroads. Thanks

I’ve seen the video about not taking things personally.
A big point I took away was that narcissists don’t take a look at what other people are seeing.
An issue I’ve had is that I don’t know that I’ve fucked something up until way after it’s happened. I’ve been told that I don’t think about how my actions or words affect others. This is a lifelong struggle of mine stemming back to childhood.
As hard as it is to believe, I have to think extremely hard in order to see how my words or actions could possibly affect people. This is not something that comes naturally to me. Other than outright praising or comforting someone, I genuinely cannot accurately predict how my actions or words will affect others.
My thought process will be like:
“I want to say or do x”
“How will x make them feel?”
And I’ll get stuck and seriously not know how it’s going to make someone feel.
I’ve been professionally suggested to seek out autism screening. Is context blindness real?
I want to believe that I can improve, and I don’t want to believe that this issue of mine is a function rather than a flaw.
People will check me and say that I should have known better, and though I’d say it’s fair, I literally didn’t know any better sometimes. It sounds ridiculous, but I don’t know better sometimes. This just makes people even more upset.
I’ve been told that I’m not thinking all the way, and I feel like that’s true. However, I’m not doing this out of malice, and I can concede that this can be seen as careless. My brain has difficulty making these connections and I’m not sure how to proceed.
I understand that I am the problem, and I’ve tried harder to think about how I affect others. I almost want to believe this is just who I am, because despite a few years of therapy and actively trying to change this problem of mine, it still occurs. It’s disappointing and frustrating to hear that the effort you put in isn’t reflective of your actions.
How do I think about how my actions and words affect others in a realistic way that doesn’t cause me to overthink?
Was I really not trying hard enough to fix myself?
How do I effectively fight this issue of mine when it feels like my efforts to improve result in marginal differences?

Husband and I are nearly 2 years married this month. Every time since we married he rejects all my massages (pre marriage he liked them) he has never offered me a massage, refuses when I've asked and completely stopped oral sex once we got married and living together. The last time he did oral was the day before we got married lol.
Last week his neck was hurting and he mentioned it several times so I said I'd massage it for him and then he he blurts out, 'I'm so arrogant', is this an odd response?
I once asked for a foot rub and he said, 'you're not pregnant, why should he', he said that's the only time he would do it. Why should only a pregnant woman get a massage from her husband lol. My love language is touch I told him this. I like giving massages to show I care.
I've also noticed he plays video games until 1.30am and plays it again first thing very early in the morning for hrs before work and has started using his spare phone when he games and took it with him on his work trip away. I questioned him about the phone he said he has his passwords on there and photos, not sure if thats a good enough excuse. I wouldn't mind but he's just emotionally disconnected... I've asked him to go to couples councelling with me but he says they don't have appointments through his insurance with the military.
I'm starting to wonder if he is using me for military benefits without offering any real connection. I also initiate sex everytime otherwise we just go to sleep. He also never had a gf before meeting me at 27 years of age and says he's introverted. I feel like if I never initiated sex we would never have it.
If someone doesn't initiate sex ever, or never offers massages or never likes to receive my massages, is this a fair deal breaker in marriage? In the past ex partners loved my massages and would return them so it then became my love language so now it's confusing to not have that.
Can someone really be that introverted, or is he not attracted anymore?

Hey all so back in december I filed a police report against my parent because my credit card company advised me to.
I'm worried beyond my mind that I could get in trouble because my mom is insane.
Here's the situation: When I was 18 my mom opened a credit card in my name. I was vaguely aware of the account but she had all access to it and said she was doing it to help my credit score. I didn't get access to the account until I had a fight with her and she gave me the login information and said good luck. It has a 10k limit which was maxed out. l hadn't ever used it or was aware of how much the limit was or anything like that. She had had me call discover a handful of times to dispute a charge, but I wasn't aware of anything else on it or even the charges I was disputing aside from what she told me.
I got access to the account and saw how bad it was in the end of 2022. I wasn't able to do anything at that point due to depression. Her account and my aunt's account were both on the card and connected to auto pay so I wasn't even paying on it until the end of 2023 when the payments no longer went through. At that point I freaked out and added my bank account and made a payment. which is also when I called the bank and asked them to investigate fraud. They ended up determining that it wasn't fraud due to me calling a few times years ago to dispute charges. I'm over that. I will pay it I don't want to deal with my mom ever again. During the fraud process though, the bank asked me if I could call the police department and report it. So I did, I don't believe that I lied to the officer at all during that time, and my memory is so bad from abuse until I was an adult that I didn't knowingly lie either.
But now I just got a call back that my mom called on the case and is fighting back saying I did know about it.
I just want it to go away. I can't talk to my mom about it at all, that's not in the picture. But I don't want to get in legal trouble for this. I want to just pay her debt and be left alone. Am I in trouble at all or what can I do? I asked the officer if I can just close the report and I provided screenshots of when she gave me the login information in 2022, which is the first time I had access to it, but she also has information about when I "used" the card to book things, when it was really her the whole time so he's investigating to see if any criminal activity occurred. I'm so worried that I could get in trouble for a false police report even though I didn't do it on purpose and didn't even want my mom to get arrested or anything in the first place.
please help me out here

As the title says, trying to assess is it worth upgrading from the 830 to the 840?
I am trying to solve 3 issues and curious if the 840 does so…

1. Auto/quickly upload saved ride :: I remember the days when I would end and save a ride and it would show up in Garmin Connect and Strava right away. Even though my phone is connected, after a ride I have to keep my 830 near my iPhone running (and manually syncing) Garmin Connect while I shower and hope it uploads.
   
2. Strava Live Segments updating :: When I star or un-star a segment in Strava, it never seems to update on my 830. Maybe a week later (if ever) and no amount of syncs with Garmin Connect seems to do it.
   
3. Getting to Strava Segments while riding :: Unless I am missing a menu navigation sequence I don’t know about, the only way I can get to the Strava Segments is before I set out on a ride. If I want to enable or disable a segment, I have to stop and save my ride, change the segment enablement, and then start a new ride.
   

…any insight into whether the 840 delivers on any of the above would be most appreciated!
I know there are other posts on this comparison but they all seem dated.
And thanks but no hanks not really interested in comparisons to other brands or even the 1040. Just the 830 vs 840.
Thank you!

As you can tell by the title, I have a bunch of parts listed for sale after recently parting out my pc/inventory. Everything has been cleaned and been well maintained. Items will come in their original boxes unless otherwise stated or buyer indicates they don't want them.

Hey all! Hope you can help me with a decision. I’m a longtime FF fan. Recently, I lost a lot of things in my home including my PS5 and gaming computer. I’m safe, but only have my Switch on me for the foreseeable future.
I have the opportunity to connect to WiFi in a bit and decided that I want to play a Final Fantasy game from the Switch eShop. Would anyone mind recommending a title that runs really well on the Switch in handheld mode?
The games that I’ve played:
-FF3 (first FF game I played and I’m sure I still have a save file on my phone)
-FF4 (also have a save file on my phone)
-FFX/X-2 (really wanting to play X2 again for some reason but don’t want to have to buy the package deal on the shop)
-FFXIII
-FFXIV (I’m a massive FFXIV lover ♥️)
-FFXV
-FFXVI
-Crystal Chronicles ♥️
The rest of the games are ones that I watched my older siblings play when I was a kid. My older brother really liked FF9, while my older sister loved FF12. If anyone would mind sending some suggestions, I would really appreciate it!

I haven't been able to get an EDS diagnosis as, although all the markers are there (and some of Marfan) my bloods didn't have the correct indicators.
I have a diagnosis of HSD (which is quite bad) but also of a chronic inflammation disease of the kidneys which I've had since birth. I also had a kidney removed about 5 years ago owing to excruciating pain and ill health for a year that was seemingly undiagnosable - despite the diagnosed "disease"??! Don't even get my started on how stupid it all was, it was medical gaslighting and negligence.. however the kidney (singular) failure also did not show up in my bloodwork, or look obscure (any more obscure than usual) in the ultrasounds. Although there was visible and explainable reasons for the pain outlined by the histology report.
I therefore believe and operate under the assumption that I do have EDS.. and that my inflammation of the kidneys is also a complication of my connective tissue. I could go and get a second opinion, and I could also get genetic testing to discover if there's an issue there. For the time being, the rheumatologist did confirm there is a connective tissue problem and that's what I attempt to manage.
I struggle with my energy and mobility to a certain degree but am very lucky that I can mostly manage day to day life with some accommodations and if I go slower, bring snacks, take rests etc. It gets harder as time goes on.. and I will, at some point, go back to a rheumatologist but I kind of can't be bothered right now..
I feel as though I'm at the tipping point of my health in that, I can no longer keep up fully and I'm trying to find a new balance and find the right support. But often when I ask for help, I seem fine and get dismissed.! I am aiming to have an appointment with my new GP soon and think she's helpful and kind so will ask there too but would like to be prepared.
I'm not on any medications. I take vitamin D and sometimes magnesium and turmeric with black pepper. I'm trying to get stronger again also. Was very sad I had to give up sports, but the recovery time is just not worth it. Trying to get stronger again through exercises and hypermobile friendly stretches.
I have four areas I'd like advice:

• Nutrition:

I've been told all my life to keep a low sodium diet for my kidneys.. and for the most part I do. But there's days I crave salt or find that I need it for physical strength (possibly POTs). I'll eat chips or salted crackers or drink pickle juice (!) if I feel like I need a quick boost or electrolytes. I've tried eating a banana or some other low salt replacement, but I really feel like I need the salt. Otherwise, I don't add salt to my food, I naturally don't like things that have too much salt. I would love to see if taking electrolytes or adding protein powder will help me feel physically stronger, but I am worried about my kidney health. Does anyone have any advice.. or can recommend what kind of diet to follow? Most doctors don't know how to help or think I'm being *dramatic* (when often I underplay how much I struggle cause hello internalised ableism). Unfortunately also my kidney specialist I had when I was a kid passed away.. and my case was too complicated for the nutritionist I saw, although he did say for the most part my diet seemed healthy.

• Flare ups:

I've been getting more flare ups recently after overexerting myself. There are a couple of factors that I can pinpoint (like drinking beer or sitting on the ground outside unsupported for too long) that can trigger a flare, but sometimes I can't tell why. Again this could be diet related, could be due to not making better accommodations on a given day or could be not resting sufficiently, dehydration etc. Does anyone know how to figure out what the triggers can be? Or if it's more related to the inflammation or EDS so can know what to manage better? Some days I seem to manage perfectly, and others I mess up and have no idea why.

• Diagnosis:

Does anyone have experience getting an EDS diagnosis without the blood work markers and can offer recommendations? Long shot, but does anyone know any specialist doctors that might be interested in my case?

• Benefits:

For whatever reason I haven't been able to get financial benefits, even when I was severely ill and had surgery (owing to the negligence of my GP) mostly due to the complicated nature of my illness. Again - I have a diagnosed "rare" disease, that affects all my insurance, but doesn't qualify me for care or benefits?! Is there anyone in Ireland who receives benefits due to EDS and how did you go about getting this/ what process?
I can still work but can't do 40+ hours unless it's mostly remote and I can work in bed. I also can't work on my feet anymore unless it's like 1/ 2 days a week and I spend the next day in bed. I really want to work (and would, in another life, be working outdoors/ with kids and camping all the time) but am limited by my options. I'm looking for a new job now but scared of being at work 40 hours a week and asleep or in bed for the remaining time.
Sorry it's so long, any help or advice appreciated :)

A lot of people in my family have diabetes, my dad too, it ain't genetic, but that doesn't mean the chance of me getting diabetes is as low as it is for everyone. Most people in my family are skinny or normal weight.
I noticed that since November my blood sugar is always in between 3,8 and 4,1. It needs to be between 4,0 and 9,0 mmol/L so it's low. I had my blood sugar checked like 5 or 6 times and I ate breakfast before all of them except for 1.
I am 175 and 68 kg, you can see my ribs so definitely not overweight.
I was wondering, I started T in Oktober, is there a connection between my hormones and blood sugar? Has anyone else experienced this?
I'm going to the doctor after my finals, but I just want to know if more people experience this

D-Day was the day after Valentine’s Day 2024 and we decided to R and the first month and a half was very rough. But I weirdly feel like things are starting to get back to normal and the issue while still has left a very big scar on our relationship and I am still a little hesitant to fully trust him like I did pre d-day. Since this, there have been so many positives that has come out after and I do think our connection is even stronger than before.
Am I moving on from the betrayal too early?
Backstory: The day after Valentine’s Day I (31/F) found old texts from April 2023 on my (35/M) boyfriend’s phone that alluded to him having gone out on a date with someone and was trying to make plans to see each other again. The woman he went out with never ended up replying so she basically ghosted him and he never reached out to her again.
My boyfriend and I have been dating since June 2022 and have been exclusive since. We moved in together back in December and we are on the path to get married.
When I confronted him about who X person was he was at first confused and did not remember the person’s name (it was almost a year after the fact) but when I told him about the texts and the timeline he was then forthcoming with the information.
I had his phone (before he knew I found the texts) for a while that night and some real deep diving and found nothing else on there that would suggest that he did it multiple times or if there were other people.
They had only gone on 1 date and there was nothing physical that happened (other than her kissing him on the cheek goodbye) and no emotional connection was ever really formed. However, the fact that he did this while we were very much dating (I was on a 10 day long trip during that time) and he said things to her that he had said to me early on in our relationship is still incredibly painful and I feel very much betrayed.
My boyfriend has always been very consistent throughout our relationship and has been very loving, kind, and supportive even through other hardships we faced.
Since D-Day he has shown true remorse, has been even more consistent, has listened to my requests and has obliged with every one of them, shares his location with me, and will always let me talk about my feelings in regards to the situation while taking full accountability and validating my emotions. He has also been in the process of finding a therapist to get to the root of his self sabotaging.
There have definitely been some rough days where i think about the situation and get hurt and angry all over again, but there have definitely been much more happy days than down days.
I had always told myself that I would never forgive infidelity but until it happened to me I see just how complex the decision to R can be. Seeing how serious how some cases of infidelity are I do feel like my case is quite small in comparison, but I also don’t think it’s something to be swept under the rug. I also do believe that good people can sometimes make some really bad choices but it’s what they do after that really marks their character.
Has anyone gone through something similar emotion or healing process?

Hello everyone, I have a few cameras connected to WiFi and in my 24 port PoE pro switch. I have started separating my devices in their respective VLANs, management, protect, LAN and IoT.
So far so good.
The thing is, I have a Flex switch plugged in my 24 port switch, and in the Flex, only Protect devices. It is outside, and while out of reach, still accessible.
Should that Flex switch be in the management or Protect VLAN for those cameras to work?
I want my Protect devices to not communicate with the other VLANs or the internet.
Thank you!

With the interest around ‘Shogun’ and ‘Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ being high right now, I wanted to address the elephant in the room. The fact that these Western Made stories are obsessed with having non-Japanese main characters in a Historical Japanese setting.
First Shogun. The whole premise of ‘a white guy’ having to be the main character of a historical Japanese story is weird. There’s sections of the story where the Japanese female characters marvel at the size of his dick (Seriously). He’s based on William Adams a real white sailor who went to Japan. Why are we so obsessed with telling the stories of the few westerners who went to Japan compared to the hundreds of millions of Japanese people who lived there instead. The only thing defining about Adams is that he’s a white guy so it’s used as an ‘in’ for a English speaking western audience. In an age of supposed diversity by American companies why are they so against actual diversity by showing a story of the actual native people of the country that it’s set in.
With takes us to the most recent example. Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Why have Yasuke as a main character? There is nothing known about him at all besides the fact that he was a black samurai. That is the only thing he’s known for. Is it so important to interject SOME element that your western audience can connect too into these Japanese stories. Basically no Japanese produced stories focus on the few foreigners who went to Japan, but yet the west loves producing this kind of story. It if it was so important to the history of Japan, how come basically no Japanese produced stories cover this. Millions of Japanese Samurai/Ninjas existed but yet we are focusing on the few non Japanese ones. Having actual diversity in your story would be trying to normalize that it’s great and cool to have stories focusing on actual Japanese people, rather then the few westerners/non Japanese in history who we barely know about.
While not a historical story, you might’ve also seen the Movie Bullet Train starring Brad Pritt, a movie about assassins set in Japan. Do you know that it’s based on an actual book where all the characters are actually Japanese, while in the movie they swapped out the characters with non-Japanese, instead Western ones. The director said that originally the movie was going to take place in America too, but because the setting of Japan is so popular these days in America they left that element of the story in. It’s like the teams at these companies want to have an ‘exotic’ setting of Japan but really don’t want to have Japanese people in it.
What’s your thoughts on this? Do you think that this trend will die out in the coming decades or will this be a permanent fixture of America’s interest in Japan.

Hi All,
Would appreciate some help here. I'm really confused what's going on.
Background
I last logged into my DSM 2 days ago on my PC. Just tried to log in right now and something odd happened, I'm used to signing in by entering my password followed by 2FA code even though it's my personal device. This time on attempting to sign on to my admin account, after entering my username I received a message to validate my log in using the Synology Secure SignIn app instead of entering a password. I do not have the app. I tried another non-admin account, still the same message. Upon attempting to log in with a password, instead I receive a message saying too many failed attempts have been made to log in and the IP address has been blocked. To be clear, I had not made any prior attempts from my personal device (it was sleeping until about 5 minutes before I attempted to log in). Although I couldn't access my DSM account, I was still able to access my mapped network drives. I tried to restart my PC and tried to log in again, but same result, and this time no luck with accessing mapped network drives either.
Edit to add: I never log into my NAS through any other devices besides this PC in my home network.
Existing Security
My NAS is exposed to the internet only via Plex. It is port forwarded so not the standard 32400 and behind a double nat. Plex has a secure password and also has 2FA.
I have firewall rules set up so only can be accessed in my country of origin UK, and after 3 or 5 wrong attempts I believe it blocks the IP. Prior to this I've never had any attempts made on my NAS.
I have my original admin account disabled, and the new one is super obscure. My password is beyond what is reflected here: https://caltechsites-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/imss/images/2023_Password_Table_Square.original.jpg
In addition, I haven't logged into my authenticator app on this device.
Oddities
One of the drives I have is dedicated to media. I'm still able to access this through Plex. I run Plex through docker and I am still able to access this through my NAS IP address.
Edit to add: I have DLNA enabled on my NAS, I'm able to access media through this as well (including through my PC).
I have another laptop that was also sleeping. I've just switched it on, it is still connected to my mapped network drives and I can access the majority of them (different limited access credentials), but none of the content is blocked by any means. I never attempt to log into DSM through this laptop. Only the initial mapping of the drives.
I've not received any emails notifying that I've been hacked/my content has been locked until I pay
Synology assistant isn't having luck finding the Synology NAS on the network at all either.
Maybe related
I've requested a speed upgrade from my internet provider. They've sent me a new router and asked me to plug it in within 5 days. I've not done this yet and was actually logging into my DSM account to double check all my settings prior to switching out.
If you're still reading, thanks so much!
At this point I'm clueless if it's something malicious or not. I'm going to run Malwarebytes overnight on my PC. Is there a chance that a change at my ISP side could result in the above?
I'm thinking worst case scenario I've been hacked, but let's say I have a keylogger on my machine, is it possible for them to break into my NAS based on my passwords alone? My 2FA is always from my personal phone and I don't log into that on my PC. Really not sure how else they could have gotten access, and again, no emails or anything, nothing has been zipped.
Would appreciate your help / suggestions on what I can do here please!
Thanks!

I'm hoping this community can help me understand if this doorbell will address my needs.

• have a doorbell hardwire
• no traditional door chime
• would like NVR recording

In hindsight, I should have installed a PoE wire but it is what it is.
Can this doorbell be powered by my hardwire (via a transformer)? Does it record to an NVR in addition to local storage? Does recording happen via the WiFi connection? I assume the plug in chime is connected to the doorbell via WiFi?
Apologies for the simplistic questions. I'm researching for a surveillance camera system for my home. As of now, it's a hodge podge of systems for interioexterior and doorbell and I'm thinking it may be just better to keep everything in one ecosystem.
Thanks in advance.

I 27(F) is getting married to my boyfriend 30(m) my family have been nothing, but a nuisance when it comes to my relationship.
We have decided to elope and have a reception afterwards with all our friends and family. However, due to the comments that my family have made, I do not feel like I should invite them anymore.
They have made comments like
He’s a Tramp
You can do so much better than him
When he washes his hair and trim his beard, maybe then we we will like him
Don’t embarrass me by posting him on social media
My sister told me that it was shameful that I was posting him, and that it was embarrassing for her as I had people on my Instagram that are connected to her
My mother has told everyone around her that he is my friend, not my boyfriend
I have been told that I’m too fat to get married by them
Just to clarify, my boyfriend has long hair that he puts up in a man bun and a small beard, and my mum said she does not like that look and that I should get him to shave it all off
My mum also said that while he is a nice guy, he is not someone I should end up with because he’s not trendy
My mother also said she does not like his intense eyes
I’m not very close to my family and they have not even met him twice and they always make judgements and my mother advised me not to marry him
My mother also told me she hopes I don’t get pregnant as it would be an ugly child
I honestly feel like this is the right thing to do as I only want to be surrounded by people that love me , but some of my friends are saying I should still invite them anyways

I live in Tennessee, which is a landlord friendly state. I moved out by myself when I was 19 back in late 2022 into a studio that rents for $800 a month. A little bit after I moved (3-4 months or so I believe) my landlord needed my paystubs and SSN card to get gov help to fix things around the house. The studio I rent is basically a glorified garage room but it was the cheapest and only one available I could find at the time.
The studio I rent is a part of the landlord's house, we have the same address (I don't even have my own mailbox), there's a door that goes in between my studio and her side of the house. Her side has a lock - mine doesn't. It's like a duplex but my studio obviously used to be a part of her house that she just "fixed" up to rent out.
February of this year my place flooded, her son (there's no actual matience people or property management) and I scooped up the water and poured it into buckets then dried my floor with towels and whatnot. My entire floor is also concrete (important to remember for later) also a good portion of my walls are concrete. The only ones that aren't concrete is the wall that connects to her side of the house. My landlord didn't call in anyone to clean up the flood water or have anything inspected. She told me that when she bought that house that she was told that it's a fluke and won't happen again.
My place flooded for the second time on May 8th and 9th. I had to ask for the day off of work on the 9th to stay home and try and clean everything up. She did call Servpro this time to clean it up (she called them the night on the 8th but never told me until later in the morning on the 9th).
I started looking for another place to live back in April and found a place but I purposely chose to wait til mid June to move out so I could help my current landlord with one more month of rent. That was obviously a mistake and I regret it.
But because I already have a place set up for mid June (even a move out/in date) I gave my current landlord my 30 day written notice. In it I asked that half of the rent for June be taken off since I'll only be living in the studio for 14 days and then also asked for a deduction of what I would have earned working on the 9th but had to ask off because of the flooding and lack of communication that Servpro was actually contacted this time.
When I asked my landlord just recently if she had read my notice yet and she said that she had and that she needed time to calm down.
I'm afraid she will not agree to the deductions and I will be forced to pay another $800 even after having my place flood twice, with three months in between each flooding (both caused by excessive rain and the issues could've been looked into and possibly resolved). And with the door in between our places but my side not having a lock. Along with her asking for personal documents so she can get gov help to fix parts of the house (one of which was the roof - and part of it was damaged on my side so water would leak into my place then as well for a while)
The floodings were concluded to be happening because of ground water. Also her granddaughter's room has black mold in it so part of her house was flooding as well but never noticed? My landlord was told repeatedly to get these certain type of gutters and spouts to make water go away from the house but she never got them and is now only getting them tomorrow. I was also told by her son that she had looked into the history of the house back in February after the first flooding and saw that it did in fact have a history of flooding. She never told me this
What can I do? Should I fight for the deductions? What is a good way to go about all of this as well as not get cheated myself? I don't want to cause her grief but this has gotten so horrible lately. I have to look out for myself.
I have no where else to stay until the 14 of June but I've been told repeatedly that I can sue her because of all the flooding but I don't want to do that for many reasons.
Any help or advice is appreciated

I (25M) have been feeling lonely and lately it is all I have been feeling. It is getting too much to handle. On one hand, I want to give up everything and become an ascetic, while I am craving any kind of connection with someone. I have never been in a relationship as I prioritized my studies and career so far. Now I am preparing for some entrance exam for a job, so everyone around me has left me alone to help me focus. It is difficult for me to reach out to anyone. I usually write poetry whenever I am in pain. Lately, though it feels like I have stopped feeling any pain too. It is all so numb. I can't even muster words to describe what I am feeling. Everyone around me is moving on with their lives, starting families and building career. While I feel like I am still stuck in every aspect of life. I too want someone in my life, but at the same time I feel like there is no one for me in the world. When my parents will try to get me married eventually, I feel like I'll destroy the other person's life as well, I can't be that selfish. I want to be feel loved but I fear I am just meant to be alone. I justify myself with things like I am not meant to live a normal life, I am meant to love everyone and I am meant for the society and not just myself. I try to help others whenever I can, sometimes by even going out of the way but in the end it is just to hide away the pain of being alone. I used to cry whenever I used to feel overwhelmed, but now I can't even cry, it's like there are no tears left. Only thing that is keeping me anchored is my parents. They love me and I love them as well, I can't hurt them. But it is crushing whatever is left of my soul everyday. I don't know if someone is reading this, but please help me today, it is getting unbearable now. I feel like there is a lot of weight on my heart. I just need someone to talk.

Is this a golden email? Text:
On April 19, 2022, the Biden-Harris Administration announced several changes that will help borrowers get closer to or achieve forgiveness under income-driven repayment (IDR) regardless of whether or not you have ever participated in an IDR plan. With these changes, you are now eligible to have some or all of your student loans forgiven because you have reached the necessary number of payments under IDR.
The U.S. Department of Education will work with your servicer to process your IDR forgiveness over the next several months. If you would like to opt out of IDR forgiveness for any reason, contact your loan servicer no later than 06/05/2024 and tell them that you are not interested in receiving IDR forgiveness. Some reasons why you might want to consider opting out include concerns about a potential state tax liability.
If you decide to opt out of IDR forgiveness, you will be expected to continue paying your loan(s).
Loan Servicer Information
Don't know who your loan servicer is? Log in to StudentAid.gov, find "My Aid," and select "View loan servicer details." You can also call us at 1-800-4-FED-AID, and we will connect you with your servicer.
If you have federal student loans with multiple servicers—or if your loan(s) is being transferred—and you want to opt out of IDR forgiveness, you should contact all your servicers with eligible loans.
If you don't opt out, here's what happens next: 1 We will send your information to your loan servicer(s) after 06/05/2024.

2 

Your loan servicer(s) will notify you if and when your IDR forgiveness has been processed. It may take some time for your loan servicer to process your forgiveness and for your account to reflect this change.

3 

If you have loans with multiple servicers, each servicer will notify you if and when they have applied forgiveness to your account with them. President Biden and the U.S. Department of Education are committed to supporting borrowers and ensuring they get the credit towards loan forgiveness that they are entitled to. Learn more about IDR forgiveness and the one-time account adjustment actions the Biden-Harris Administration announced last year.
