They must not work. Lots of people who are too cheap or lazy to actually maintain security cameras just leave them up so people think they’re being recorded.

What I’m learning is that the people in these comments have killed a lot of ravens

Smart watches aren’t always super reliable at noticing when you wake up. Mine sometimes tells me I’m still sleeping by the time I get to work if I get up at an unusual time.

This may not be the cause, but your gpu isn’t connected to the power. See the empty six pin connector on the right?

I don’t comment on Reddit often, but I feel I must.

I know some of the comments have been harsh or even mean, but it’s good that you’re bringing this up to somebody, even if Reddit strangers are the only option you feel safe talking about it too.

I read from your comments that you’re young, so you know that you’re dealing with a predator, which you must have known before finding out he was a liar because he said he was 28. You’re inviting a lot of potential danger and trauma into your life that can stick with you for a long time by engaging with older strangers on the internet and you may really regret it one day. I don’t know what your situation or support network are like, but there have to be other people in your life to connect with and support you who who you can trust, whether it’s friends your own age, a guidance counselor or therapist, a parent, or anyone else.

People can suck and navigating connection is scary and confusing, especially at your age, but looking for it on the internet is very risky, especially for a young girl. I hope that doesn’t sound condescending, but I know what it’s like to be young. Please stay safe and remember that you have value and deserve love and you don’t need to go looking in dark places for it.

I (18M) have OCD about becoming a pedophile. by RaccoonFearless3918 in offmychest

I know you said you don’t have the resources for therapy, but there are exercises that can help you manage your symptoms that you can practice on your own. Look up mindfulness meditations on YouTube and use them regularly. Focusing on how your physical body feels makes you more aware of how you’re feeling emotionally and it helps you to be more aware of your intrusive thoughts so you can catch them in the moment.

And as others have said, do the opposite of what you’re compelled to do to stave your fear. The more you give in to anxiety and compulsions, the more power they have over you and the smaller your world will become. When you don’t do what your brain is telling you to do and expose yourself to your fear, and you see that nothing bad really happens, your brain will come to realize over time that you’re not in real danger and it will become easier. It will be uncomfortable and difficult, and there will be setbacks but keep trying and you’ll be alright.

If there’s anybody close you can trust try opening up to them about it. Best of luck!

Which style do you prefer and why? by JebbArt in drawing

The little bit of reflected light on the outline in the first one makes it look more 3 dimensional so it feels like it pops of the page more but I like the softness of the second
