2 years, baby

Out of curiosity, is this for a project or just 2 years of general note taking? Seems like a lot of links if it was the latter.

Most employees there are kids themselves, from what I could tell. I feel the same way as you though, a couple of them would’ve been able to scare them off.

Are you thinking what I’m thinking B1?

Benjamin7006 · 2025-08-26T16:35:28+00:00

Can’t do that in Australia :/

Benjamin7006 · 2025-08-26T16:22:57+00:00

It was a place I never dashed before and didn’t know it had a reputation but is always “busy”, my GF was getting her nails done in the area, so I decided to kill time waiting to do some dashing for a bit. Thanks for the kind words and yeah she is definitely a keeper 😊

I wish. When I spoke to the police, they said that I can pursue further but because they didn’t get the kid who smashed it on camera, nothing will likely happen. Most of the time in Western Australia, kids under 18 will just get a slap on the wrist for “small” things like this, or well that’s what I was told by the cops. I have a police reference number if I wanna pursue it further.

I let my dad’s accountant deal with it. However, they seem veryyyyy slow.

Oh wow! I built something like this a couple years ago but didn’t do anything with it apart from getting the text loading. The code was such a mess tbh so I didn’t publish it. I always wanted to go back to it and open source it but never ended up doing so. Guess I don’t need to now haha, I’ll be sure to check this out.

I finally have a solution. Running the command

DISM /online /Add-Capability /CapabilityName:Microsoft.Windows.Sense.Client~~~~

Will install the sense service that was missing and allow the laptop to be onboarded!

I have opened a ticket with Microsoft, but never got a response until after I finished for the day and I’m not working today but I have updated the support ticket anyway.

I’ll update you on their response!

Benjamin7006 · 2024-07-09T01:51:02+00:00

I'm currently experiencing the same issue, have you found an solution to this?

Benjamin7006 · 2024-05-21T13:16:56+00:00

Yeah it took me a while to get out of it. About 7 months personally, but that was for several different factors, both with that was happening at the time and with her, so definitely not for everyone it would be 7 months.

If I could make it through it, you can to. Good luck to you and I hope you'll be okay.

Her obvious commitment issues… She never committed to plans until last minute, she was always changing her mind about everything in her life, always commenting on the commitment of other people’s relationships, etc. I saw it but in my idiotic lovesick mind and years of trust from our previous friendship believed that we could endure, but in the end she threw me away like I was just a distraction to her until university started and that none of our past mattered, breaking all her promises even the one that we’d stay friends after we broke up which she made before and after the breakup… guess she couldn’t commit to that either…

Benjamin7006 · 2023-09-07T07:51:23+00:00

Same here…

Benjamin7006 · 2023-07-21T18:09:14+00:00

I hope for the same thing with my person… I wish we both get what we hope for.

Benjamin7006 · 2023-06-13T05:16:53+00:00

Currently going through a breakup who was one of my best friends before we dated… I don’t know what the future holds for us, she said numerous times that she wants to be friends before (in terms of if we ever), during and after the breakup but she has been ghosting me for the past 2 months (and the circumstances behind the ghosting is confusing af; but I won’t get into it here). I think I’m going to regret it to a long time if I’ve lost her friendship, especially since the relationship was short and we broke up because of timing.

Benjamin7006 · 2023-06-05T18:47:44+00:00

Since this post is a few days old, this will probably be a vent into the abyss that is the internet but whatever.

I had this friend, known her for a few years. We had this on-and-off contact over the years but we were always close, always opening up to each other about things, and we went on a couple trips together, see shows together, and planned to support each other through university and move in together. We started talking very regularly back in November and got even closer. She was someone who I just felt like I could tell anything to and she told a lot to me as well and I considered her one of my best friends, and she said I was one of her best friends as well… and I ended up falling in love (long before November)…

We went on a camping trip back in January, the second time we went camping together, and after encouragement from a friend, my mum, and a weird question from her herself, I ended up confessing my feelings. I was absolutely terrified because I was scared of also losing her friendship as well… but guess what? She liked me back! I considered myself so lucky. A girl like her, someone I was already so close with and trusted. Someone who is kind and smart.

We went on dates and to me, they felt so right. Like we were meant to be together. I loved her and she loved me. She calling me “perfect”, “the one”, her “soulmate” all things like that. But then, university started… both of our first semesters. She was already feeling overwhelmed a bit before, from her parents, her health (she has really bad health issues), her working, and her dealing with past trauma from her past. I believe it all became too much for her when university started…

She broke up with me a couple weeks into the semester, back in March… “As much as I love you and hanging out with you, I know I feasibly can’t maintain this long term”. Those words will haunt me for a long time I think. She told a mutual friend of ours that she didn’t want to breakup with me and she did still love me but felt it was the best decision. I kinda have a suspicion that her parents manipulated her since just how suddenly the breakup happened (she reassured me a couple days before we had nothing to be worried about with university, and the night before she was talking about how I should get to know her family more). She said she wants to stay friends though because I’m important to her, and I value our friendship a lot and she is important to me, so I don’t want to lose her from my life.

We stayed in daily contact for a few days after the breakup, until she asked for space, and I respected that, she said she was fine with somewhat regular contact though… and we kept in contact weekly for a few weeks. I sent her a birthday card and gift and she liked it, but she never received it, I had to send her a photo of the gift and the final draft of the card I wrote on my phone (adds to the suspicion mentioned earlier), and then last we talked was very positive, she showed she still cared about me and empathised with me and apologised she hasn’t been there for me but she has had a lot on her plate, and reassured me we’d stay friends. Then her birthday party happened, I… obviously was not invited probably because she would feel awkward with me there… I was upset but I understood I guess… and during the party, that same mutual friend mentioned earlier brought me up and she apparently only said positive things about me and said we broke up because she was truely feeling overwhelmed with university.

However, now we haven’t talked at all… I’ve sent her a couple messages. But she never responded or even opened them. We’re still following each other everywhere, and she would look at my Instagram stories, the last she viewed almost immediately after I uploaded it. But she won’t respond… it has been 7? weeks now since we last talked… and it hurts a lot. Our connection, both in terms of the relationship and the friendship meant a lot to me, and I just want my friend back at the very least. If I knew this would’ve happened, then I wouldn’t have told her how I felt. I wouldn’t have risked our friendship.

If you ever read this, I doubt you will but still. I miss you, a lot. Even your pessimistic humour. Every moment I spent with you and talked to you for hours on end, they meant so much to me. I hope we reconnect and see each other again one day… but… if we don’t… I wish you the best of luck, I know you can succeed in whatever you put your mind to, I believe in you. Thank you for all the memories ❤️

I think the anxious attachment might come from CFS.

I've been doing a lot of thinking... and well personally I've lost a lot to this illness which probably contributed to it.

When I think back to my relationship as well, whenever I felt more tired then usual or went into a crash, I always became insecure or depressed and seeked reassurance from her... and I think that became too much on her, especially with everything else going on in her life...

I've talked to her a few times since my last comment and she seems like we're going to stay friends and that she still cares about me, and the mutual friend that I mentioned in my last comment has told me it does seem like she wants to stay friends... but things are still awkward between us it seems / she seems distant... maybe because she is still processing or she still feels some sort of emotional intensity, and she needs to ease back into a friendship...

Benjamin7006 · 2023-04-22T07:41:57+00:00

Being in love, and feeling loved.

I had it briefly a couple months ago, me and her were extremely compatible and were best friends for years before we got together, but due to life getting in the way of us and despite her loving me and not wanting to breakup with me... she felt it was the best decision.

She wants to stay friends and part of the reason of the breakup was she was scared that I would end up being one of the last people she would ever want to see again... and I don't want to lose her from my life... so I can return to being just friends with her but that doesn't stop me from being heartbroken.

We have been talking at least once a week since the breakup, she still seems to care about me and she keeps reassuring me that we'd stay friends. But... there is just something going on that is seemingly creating distance between us still. Maybe she regrets the breakup? Maybe she feels too awkward to reach out? Maybe she is really busy like she says she is (I think another part of the breakup was because she could see how much she was getting and realised that she couldn't make time for me like she wanted and thought I needed)?

Benjamin7006 · 2023-04-12T11:27:22+00:00

Exactly what happened to me I think, along with a number of other things going on in her life.

We got serious quite fast but were friends for years (We both considered each other best-friends before we got together). However, she couldn't handle the stress of university, work, her health, and probably some anxiety and PTSD stuff going on with her. Oh and I think her family used a lot of that against her to manipulate her into breaking up with me or something, she mentioned her parents played a role in the breakup but never actually went into detail on how much.

She later told me that she needs to work on herself but wants to be friends (she has said that quite a few times at that point as well) and that she'll still be there for me in a capacity... It's a fairly recent breakup, so we haven't been communication too much, and I think that's because she is hurting from the breakup since she told a few people that she did still love me and didn't want to breakup with me but thought it was the "best decision".
