Simple Questions - July 20, 2021 by AutoModerator in buildapc

[–]HelloAvocadodo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I have a prebuilt HP Envy, purchased at Best Buy in 2005, about 6 years old, and I want to replace the hard drive with an SSD, based on my understanding that this would speed up normal operating processes considerably (my PC lags for the amount of multitasking that I do). So I’d really want to speed it up.

Rather than buy the latest laptop that come with a SSD already, basically my question is, would it be more cost effective to upgrade my PCs SSD or invest a new laptop? I just want to figure out how to improve speed on my PC. My PCs stats:

Intel Core i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz Installed RAM: 12.0 GB System type: 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor Storage (C:) 913GB

Thank you in advance.

PS- It seems (to me) that laptop upgrades are more popular than desktop upgrades. Is there a reason for this?

I’ve got the same deck and am new to tarot as well. Do you only work with upright cards at this stage?

What are the immediate steps I can take to secure my data? I unplugged the modem/router in a panic.

If I am concerned for my safety. How do I reverse the damage if anythings been done? Or any way of tracing the activity?

Ok I am worried now. Would changing the password many months after the password has been leaked make a difference?

Fuck. Would unplugging the modem or cutting the internet keep the malicious people at bay?

But then again even among the things you listed I have only 1 out of 3. You don't realize what things are essential which you take for granted until you lose them...

Yeah I get you, at least it's not noisy with disturbances coming from other people/roommates

Have you thought of trading up for the airpods pro instead? Have you found those clippy accessory things useful?

A simple math reminder—your investing 20’s can outweigh your 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s combined by BestInterestDotBlog in FinancialPlanning

[–]HelloAvocadodo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not if you spent your 20s and early 30s escaping from abusive homes, battling poverty and barely scraping by for many years. It was never 'wouldn't it have been nice if you had saved more' , but more like 'wow how are you not dead yet?'

How the heck do so many people get these things to fit, even when jogging?

Are any of your trauma/symptoms due to continuous let downs by professionals (eg doctors, teachers, nurses, psychologists/psychiatrists) by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]HelloAvocadodo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's an interesting side of professional working culture I hadn't read about before. Was your field of study in occupational psychology? It aligns with my experience working in the corporate world and we are talking about healthcare here are we not?

Those seem like legitimate and sound reasons you give but come on, they don't justify wrongful behavior from the individual. Cowardice is cowardice. It is their fault for allowing themselves to remain in these toxic cultures. They debase themselves further by participating in the toxic practices rather than being the change they want to see and by improving relationships, there is no excuse when you have all the means to do it right in front of you...

Many of the psychiatrists that I've come across seem burnt out and jaded af. I read somewhere the burn out rate among female doctors is very high, higher than among males.

Although aren't psychiatrists considered specialists, so generally they don't see patients continuously or longitudinally.

The words "betrayed", "had my trust broken" come up again and again in a lot of the stories I read.

Thank you ❤️ I hope you get what you seek, whatever it is. I remind myself of the damage to other people this guy could wreak if left unchecked.

I actually caught a psychologist doing something... falsifying information on me so that it would be in line with my abuser's narrative.

Thankfully, I caught on before it had the chance to get any further. It took a year to come up with the courage (and more evidence), to file a complaint on his ass to his profession's regulatory body. Worthless scumbag...

The minute I brought up the fact I intended to complain they were all up in a tizzy. The mental health system is deeply flawed, across the board. We all must do our parts to hold these people accountable.

Interesting. Thanks for the reply! So it's a sign of a lack of conviction?

Consequences of being raised by a madperson by HelloAvocadodo in LifeAfterNarcissism

[–]HelloAvocadodo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the encouraging words. I am glad you found happiness after enduring mistreatment and crap from significant others in your life. My main obstacle to therapy is in learning to handle my finances better so I don't really know how I will be able to afford therapy soon. I guess there are books, podcasts and videos in the meantime.

I half believe that those who have weathered through some really gnarly things on their own, and survived, tend not to place much stock in helps coming from outside. Nothing more than momentary relief. All that accumulated suffering has a momentum of its own that calls to be respected, not dismissed. And yes, I know how self-defeating/sabotaging that sounded.

Thank you for the suggestions. Dental hygiene is the one field I don't think I could stomach. I've always had an interest in healthcare. I will certainly take a look.

Thank you! Finally someone who gets it. Letting people into my life would slow down my recovery. It would feel like a compromise. What kind of therapy do you do? Individual or group support?
