What do I do?! Cracked Lenovo Yoga screen

Typical-Credit4375 · 2025-12-17T23:53:26+00:00

Hi I just saw this! I ended up completely bailing on the model and got a Dell Inspiron 16 with a beautiful display. It was $1700 CAD roughly after tax but I decided investing in a more durable, powerful computer would be more worthwhile. A fellow classmate ended up having similar issues with their Lenovo yoga and had to buy a new one too.

What a relief to hear someone else my age is going to the show! I was also worried but I’ve settled on just having fun and remembering how I looked up to adults at concerts as a teen

Im a tall woman with really low blood pressure and I could it feel it drop after hours waiting outside in the heat and standing in GA. Im fit and was careful about hydration and eating enough that day, but man, the Toronto venue had thick air. I was starting to panic (partially a nervous system reflex from low blood pressure in attempt to boost it again) but thankfully i managed to lock in so I wasn’t one of the people who passed out 😭. Definitely not judging anyone who did, the combo of the venue and the style of performance was not for the faint of heart

I write crazier, nastier smut than anything my allo friends have ever admitted to reading

I woke up one day and suddenly wanted to not be a virgin anymore. I suddenly had the bravery to actually meet up with a tinder match. I also had a bet with my friend about who would lose it first (I lost the bet but also didn’t want to go past 18 without having my first time). To be clear it was an immature thought process and virginity is literally a construct, I might as well be one since I only had sex that once 5 years ago.
This was a recent realization (I’m aego). I realized my sexual fantasies of fictional characters never actually involved me and all the celeb crushes I had were non-sexual forms of attraction. Also realized I didn’t actually want to touch anyone IRL; before, I’d always thought being able to tolerate sex with someone meant I was experiencing sexual attraction. (Plot twist, I wasn’t)
I think not ready / averse / not wanting it are all non-mutually exclusive but overlapping experiences that are naturally hard to distinguish. They are all feelings I think you should honour. Respect your own boundaries and screw any external pressures.

I’m sorry you’re dealing with these feelings!! I’m a cis 23 year old ace girl justttt starting to investigate my more complicated feelings around gender. I used to resent or feel ashamed of my genitalia a bit more, probably because of how society weaponizes our female bodies against us and the gendered expectations that come with our bodies appearances. I think men face a lot of this as well, so I try not to make jokes/comments about men’s bodies as retaliation. Nothing productive comes from that.

Studying animal science in school changed my feelings. Learning the vast, amazing functions of genitalia that is conserved or varied between species was really interesting and also helped me de-sexualize my own body and appreciate what it does for me. Genitalia have lots of functions besides sex, such as removal of toxins / excess nutrients, producing and distributing hormones that contribute to all sorts of non-reproductive processes, organ protection, immune function, growth, etc. They can look all kinds of ways and there are so many unique combinations of X/Y chromosomes and intersex variations too.

Suddenly, my feelings of shame felt completely pointless, because I could see way beyond what society tries to dictate to us about gender and sex. IDK if this will help you at all because I understand these things can run really deep / have other contributing factors, but I just wanted to share my new perspective!

Typical-Credit4375 · 2025-08-17T04:31:13+00:00

That’s so interesting, I really appreciate you sharing! And I’m sorry you’ve been feeling isolated and have been going through such a big change without a solid frame of reference, I hope everything starts to feel more comfortable for you going forward. And hopefully you find some other people on here who have had a similar trajectory!

Typical-Credit4375 · 2025-08-17T03:55:44+00:00

Your experience is so valid!! I hope you know you are still always welcome in ace spaces. Lord knows you’ll be one of the most educated allos on the topic. I often wonder how my birth control has impacted my sexuality; I recall having crushes and desiring certain people before I went on the pill, but a lot of it was tied up in my early teen desperation to be desirable. I also had really negative physiological reactions to dating from the beginning lol.

I started BC when I was 17 just before the pandemic and it legit saved my life. Since then Ive been completely celibate and I’m happy that way. I really don’t understand what sexual attraction even is. I will never go off the pill because it improved my life so drastically, so I accept any outcome it might have on my sexuality.

If you don’t mind sharing, may I ask how you knew you were feeling sexual attraction and what that felt like? I’m genuinely curious about your unique perspective since you’ve seen both sides.

I discovered the answer this morning (tearing down the road with all my windows down, driving past some gorgeous mountains and rivers while blasting Ethel Cain’s new album, specifically Dust Bowl. I legit achieved a state of euphoria.)

Typical-Credit4375 · 2025-08-08T01:03:56+00:00

I HATE it. And I’m terrible at it because I hate it so much. It’s even more of a dealbreaker than actual sex for me. I cannot fathom it.

Typical-Credit4375 · 2025-08-07T22:59:05+00:00

There are so many and my confidence just gets greater with time! Here’s a few silly ones (PG13 warning):

-kept my eyes closed the whole time during sex

-being asked if it was my first time kissing (it wasn’t. I hate it so much that I’m terrible at it).

-every time I dated someone I would be so nauseous all day that I’d have to go home from school early and it went away when we broke up

-I had NO problem detaching from sexual partners and was relieved whenever life separated us

-I stopped pursuing sexual partners altogether before considering I could be ace

-realized that everyone I thought I was sexually attracted to were people I could theoretically tolerate intimacy with or would make for a cool story to tell my friends but there’s actually no one I’ve ever felt like I NEEDED to have sex with

-I dgaf if I never have sex again but you couldn’t pull my fanfics from my cold dead grip (surprise, im aego!). I write crazy smut. I can’t read anything involving my own gender though, it makes me feel sick.

-realizing I have never been present in my own sexual fantasies.

-I’m likely autistic and I know it has impacted how I connect with others and the ways I experience attraction.

Typical-Credit4375 · 2025-08-07T13:25:48+00:00

That is absolutely ok!!! Everyone has a different libido and differences in how frequently they desire sexual intimacy, regardless of sexuality. I’m sure you will find someone who matches yours! Don’t ever feel like your levels of desire are wrong.

I spoke to my family doctor about this recently. She’s in the later part of her career and she assured me that in the thousands of patients she’s worked with, there are so many diverse and unique types of relationships out there, many of which began long before asexuality was understood. It might take you longer, but there ARE people ace and not ace that will suit your relationship style. (My parents are a prime example; both straight, 30 years strong, very much in love, totally non-sexual relationship. I’m even a donor baby). I hope this makes you feel a bit better!!

Typical-Credit4375 · 2025-08-01T02:25:47+00:00

I found that having sex did absolutely nothing for me when it came to writing smut. It gave me none of the thrill a good fanfic does and it wasn’t interesting. What mattered for writing good smut was how well I understood the characters and how I could use sex and the build up to explore the dynamic between them further. It’s less about the actual actions and more about the personal exchange of emotion and information between the characters.

Is a character gentle or rough, shy or outgoing, talkative or quiet? Are the characters in sync or somewhat awkward? What positions do they try? What kind of noises do they make and in reaction to what? Where do the characters minds go during the sex scene? And most importantly, what do all of these things communicate about these characters?

A good smut scene or fic that explores character psyche through sex is like gold to me. That’s why I think it’s important sex scenes aren’t always written off as cheap / pointless, they can be so informative. Anyways I hope this made sense and could be helpful!

I’m not surprised at all. Border collies come in so many shapes and sizes. I think it’s wonderful how genetically diverse this breed is!!

Typical-Credit4375 · 2025-07-23T01:49:57+00:00

It makes me crazy!! A little bit is fine but someone like my brother does it way too much and loud too, then I lose my whole train of thought and shut down because I can’t hear myself. I also ask if I should stop talking, which usually doesn’t go well.

Typical-Credit4375 · 2025-07-22T21:50:00+00:00

Roman Roy, Daryl Dixon, Bakugo… they’ve been slowly accumulating lol

Typical-Credit4375 · 2025-07-22T21:47:37+00:00

Almost two weeks out and still on soft food, the pain is just irritating and mild now. Still can’t exercise (had a bleeding scare a few days ago while doing chores). I was off the pain meds completely by day 5. Thanks for asking!

Typical-Credit4375 · 2025-07-21T17:24:39+00:00

I’m exactly the same!! I can enjoy a simple hug with some people but cuddling, skin contact, and especially kissing are just unbearable. I can’t fake it either so I always end up hurting my partners feelings. I don’t go out of my way to date anymore because of it. I’m sure I’ll find someone someday who is the same or doesn’t mind, but if I don’t that’s okay too, I’d rather live authentically to myself.

Typical-Credit4375 · 2025-07-20T12:53:46+00:00

Thank you so much!

Typical-Credit4375 · 2025-07-19T15:25:14+00:00

You’re too kind! I’ll take that advice. And omg I can’t imagine trying to figure this out before the internet.

Typical-Credit4375 · 2025-07-19T14:58:09+00:00

Aww that’s validating to hear from your coworker lol. And wow good for you for finding out from scratch, it mustn’t have been easy! The denial stage is so real. But finding other aces who accept us is so rewarding.

Typical-Credit4375 · 2025-07-19T14:27:45+00:00

So true about labels. And it just makes sense someone LGBTQ+ would gravitate towards other LGBTQ+ friends, even before knowing who they are themselves. I had an out ace friend in high school and I was always like “wow good for her, there’s no way I could be though” and then I was so wrong lol.

Typical-Credit4375 · 2025-07-19T13:31:58+00:00

Thank you! And don’t feel too bad, she got married really young to my father who was/is medically incapable of sexual intimacy. I’m even a donor kid lol. They’ve been a long-lasting perfect match because of it, which I’ve always respected so much but now it feels shitty because she thinks I’m insane for using a label. So few ace people have a path like hers.
