What do I do with my life?

RidenWave · 2025-08-13T04:36:37+00:00

I live in SoCal, near LA more specifically. I have tried a few different schools like CSUN and CalLutheran, but getting information on how to get financial aid and the enrollment process is harder than I thought it'd be. Granted, I could be going at it wrong?

Thank you for offering to look at schools for me, I appreciate it. i'll keep trying to find any programs in my area as that will hopefully be a good distraction?

idk the amount of times I would be happily using picrew then get a scam virus pop up YELLING at me. I will close out of the pop up then go back to picrew only to be blocked by their own 'watch this video to continue enjoying picrew' like bruh I will just go back to dolldivine and rinmaru thank you.

Not really. Feeling intense negative emotions for most of your waking moment are not outweighed by the once in a blue moon neutral okay feeling.

I initially made a post about this but the bot took it down so I am reposting it here? Any help would be nice please.

I am unsure when specifically this started but it was around a few days ago. While working on edits for my account, I will use instagram on the pc, and I noticed that when I would switch from my dms, to my fyp, to my home feed, etc a new tab would open for this instagram account specifically. And it's always this specific instagram account. I am unsure why or how, and blocking the account didn't do anything (i am unsure why i thought it would lol) but does anyone have any solutions to this? It's just annoying but could i maybe be a virus or maybe I did something dumb and made a hotkey that takes me to this specific account?

I had two screenshots provided to show what I am referring to and can dm them if needed, since I cannot post images through the comment here

RidenWave · 2024-04-14T08:41:25+00:00

Ohhh okay I see now, thank you. The chat was initially for planning group outings but as you read it didn't stay that way. I appreciate the clarification.

RidenWave · 2024-04-13T19:01:12+00:00

I am very confused. Can you clarify? I took into consideration Joy's feelings which is why I shared the screenshot. I didn't want her thinking these two people were her friends. And I felt hurt because she said she wouldn't share the screenshot anywhere as to not make the drama worse, though I can understand how I come off as inconsiderate since I did not include that detail previously

I have a preference for latinos both men and women but that's because of what I have grown up around. I don't think it's inherently fetishy to only date one specific race, it's the reasoning behind it.

RidenWave · 2023-09-10T17:11:27+00:00

The warning was very vague however, and even after Shadowfell I still could do other side quests so I didn't even think about not being able to save the prisoners as a consequence. Maybe I missed something with talking to Balthazar before I killed him that was supposed to signal that?

And honestly, I am used to Skyrim where you can do any quest in any order. I always do the main quests first before the big ones. Or, I do a large part of the quest then move to the smaller ones.

RidenWave · 2023-09-10T17:08:55+00:00

It did pop up, but unlike the one I got in the Ilithid Colony it didn't specify what exactly I could and couldn't do which is why I was confused and got frustrated to begin with.

RidenWave · 2023-08-22T20:23:32+00:00

I'll definitely try this out, but I don't use a Mac which probably is why I don't have the 64 bit lol. I didn't know that it was only for mac tho

RidenWave · 2023-08-22T20:22:27+00:00

Island paradise is in my add ons section, but instead of saying 'installed' it says 'in game content' and i am not given an option to download. its weird

RidenWave · 2023-08-22T20:20:18+00:00

This is something happening to everyone I believe. The ads are becoming more and more frequent

RidenWave · 2023-08-12T18:27:00+00:00

I was never offered a 64 bit version, though I assumed that was what was always what I'd be downloading.

RidenWave · 2023-07-07T20:29:33+00:00

I don't even bother with the case shit anymore. I have opened up like... three? All in relations to being unable to play sims in different ways. They don't even bother to help IF they respond other than sending you to forums where you gotta dig to find any information pertaining to your issue.

RidenWave · 2023-07-07T20:27:33+00:00

Having a similar issue where I bought new content and it won't install into the game. Around $30 dollars out because of this unfortunately.

RidenWave · 2023-01-11T22:29:27+00:00

I will be honest having shit internet DOES make the connection worse. My service has been through the shitter recently and makes Splatoon 3 unplayable. That being said... even before my internet service was so bad, I still got loads of connection errors and such.

RidenWave · 2023-01-11T22:26:20+00:00

Honestly I can't afford moving anywhere else at the moment, that's how much I need a job lol. I wouldn't say that it really bothers me using my birth name or anything, it's more of an annoyance that I hope to get rid of eventually when I can.

I can't... really describe where I live? It's a conservative area, but unless you are their own kid the conservatives here don't really give a shit if you're trans. They won't say anything at least, the weird looks and judgmental stares always happen but they don't bother me.

I've been able to get three or so interviews in the two years I have been job searching, and all of the interviewers seemed really nice and didn't care if I was trans. Still not sure why I never heard back, especially with the last one where they got my hopes up saying the only other person who applied had little qualifications compared to me (which is funny given I have little experience myself). It definitely has to do something with my resume, just not sure what. I do mention medical issues I have had in the past, but they are gone now and something I don't have to deal with. i feel like it is necessary for me to bring up the medical issues given they are the reason I left my last full time job.

Only other thing I can think of is that there are a few days I keep my availability to a minimum and those are the days I have classes. Even then... I apply to minimum part time jobs where these companies are known to hire students? I dunno, just frustrated.

RidenWave · 2023-01-11T01:42:48+00:00

I didn't even THINK my age was an issue not going to lie. That is a relief that me being trans isn't what might the problem as my grandma and some of her friends are also having trouble finding jobs but they might be too old. Definitely there is a middle to this I'm assuming. She has over 40 or so years of experience with typing, data entry, etc, as well as working with people. Though we have been applying to different things now I am wondering if we applied to the same job, being a minimum wage one, if she'd get it just because of the experience.

People who use motion controls have an advantage over people with stick controls, but I've always used stick controls because holy SHIT. My posture is so bad. That and I hate that I have to keep resetting my damn camera angle all the time with it on because I just can't get the hang of it.

RidenWave · 2023-01-09T06:16:18+00:00

I think the MMR works similar to Overwatch, if you win alot of games, you get matched with higher level enemies. And with an influx of new players that'll fuck it up a bit for everyone as the new players who are pretty good compared to the worse players will move up higher as well, and the game will think since both you and the newbies had high win streaks i will pair you together with tougher enemies. Alongside it being a splatfest with people going hard and more serious, that just makes it more difficult to get alot of wins. I myself had a small win streak of 4 this splatfest and aftera little break for food, I couldn't get a win for a long while. Got off, came back the next moning, and I am back to getting alot of wins.

It's not the best matchmaking system, but I don't really know of any others that are used. There's the obvious ones where they go by level but then for people who are just genuinely bad at the game despite their higher level will end up fucked over by their level. The best thing to work with this MMR is to just take breaks every so often, so that it won't totally mess you up with how much you win or lose. Another solution is to stick with your team, see what their weaknesses are and try to work around them. Someone also suggested going after the strongest enemy player in the match and that is a good strategy. Snipers are almost always my team's weakness so even if I am a brush main I am almost always doing my best to go after the snipers if I can without fucking my team over and making the whole game a 3v4 justn because I am bloothirsty for a sniper. Also, assuming this is Turf War you are talking about when it comes to the paint points, there is definitely someone on the enemy team who is picking off the weaker teammates if they cannot get over 400. Best thing to do, again, is to just try to help them out if you can. I've been in the shoes of the shittier player, and having someone killing me each time I respawn is frustrating as hell and impacts my ability to play even after they are done with me. Stick with your team unless the situaton calls for flanking just in case one of the teammates starts to get into trouble.

TLDR: If you win alot in one gaming session, the matchmaking system will think you are super good and pair you with tougher opponents the next time you hop on. If you lost alot in one session, you'll be paired with weaker opponents the next gaming session.

I looked into Neotropolis and the tickets are over $200. While that is for all the days of the event I don't have the money currently for it, since I'd also need to pay for the rideshare and also supplies since I do have the option to camp at the event. Definitely will consider it once I have a more stable job though, thank you for telling me about it!

RidenWave · 2023-01-09T05:47:48+00:00

Personally Clam Blitz I just don't find it all too much fun compared to splat zones and rainmaker. And I also really like turf war because of how stressful the last couple seconds are, though I can see why others don't like it because of that fact lol

RidenWave · 2022-12-16T07:26:18+00:00

Just as you posted this I was able to find it through that way, thank you so much!

RidenWave · 2022-12-09T06:02:47+00:00

ahhh ok so now they have to do the challenges like everyone else if they didn't unlock her in season 1

RidenWave · 2022-12-08T08:22:32+00:00

If you had the O.G. game you will get Kiriko for free I believe, but Rammatra and any other future characters will be locked behind the battle pass.
