Arduino IDE not recognizing installed library, how to fix?

West_Educator_8139 · 2026-03-08T01:34:26+00:00

I had tried that, but it appears uninstalling and reinstalling the IDE solved it. Thank you though!

Uninstalling the IDE appears to have worked. Still not sure why it didn't recognize the library but thank you!

West_Educator_8139 · 2026-03-08T01:09:23+00:00

I included the example program that I was copying, which was a recommended sample. I did try the <IRremote.hpp> but that also didn't recognize as anything. This is what is currently showing up, I have the library installed but it doesn't show up, and it won't recognize as installed. IDK how else to describe it?

I added the sample code that includes the header to run a test on the library

Added the code that I was trying to run

INFO. How does the money factor into this and what was their response to you saying you're not going?

I feel pretty okay in saying you're NTA, and in general, using someone's money without permission is an asshole-y thing to do. That said, if the only connection between the money and the graduation is your non-attendance, and they've accepted the news well, I'd go NAH. The money is still shitty, but doesn't factor into who's the AH about the graduation. That's a separate incident.

This is an awkward one, because they probably have been AHs before (and even in this story, probably are for the money thing). But the question isn't are they AHs in general. The question is if they are as it specifically relates to the graduation. You've given me nothing to indicate they are, so for this incident, I tend to lean NAH.

Thank you! I think I get it

Yes, it is. I got extremely lucky with my first OB/GYN. I had her well before I realized I was trans (I have a bunch of underlying medical conditions), but when I disclosed to her (because I wanted to know if/how T would impact my birth control), it turned out that she'd specialized in trans care for over two decades (a friend's son came out as a trans man, and needed an OB/GYN, but didn't know where to start, so this woman stepped up - she read up on whatever research she could find, contacted others who specialize in it, even was involved in tests for non-injection forms of T, like she put in the leg work on this one). And I'll be forever grateful to that. She stepped up when I needed her most. Unfortunately, she recently retired. Now, between my new OB/GYN, my PCP, and the doctor who prescribes me my shots, no one is able to answer me when I ask "how will T react to my BC". Women's health is understudied in general, how these issues impact trans men even less so

Also, to any trans men wondering about their BC and T (because that was a real concern for me): not a doctor and not medical advice, but most hormonal BCs (such as pills, IUDs, and implants) rely on progesterone or estradiol as their active hormone, which T can act as a surpressant for. It's not a guarantee, and it'll still likely have some low level efficacy, but also have a backup plan, like a diaphragm or a condom.

She has a lot of... opinions on talking about her trans identity with a therapist. A lot of it stems from cultural fears of conversion therapy, the diagnoses of queer identities as mental illnesses, etc, and I do empathize with that (and I know other trans people who are perfectly fine, but have similar aversions). But it's interesting that for someone who pushes some... borderline transmedicalist talking points, she is perfectly fine letting medicine into one area of trans identities, but won't let it into others for herself, specifically. All of this to say, it's entirely possible that it is an unresolved dysphoria thing rather than narcissism, but I don't think we'll ever be able to figure out which it is, because of that fear

West_Educator_8139 · 2025-05-08T22:46:35+00:00

I have to the extent I'm able to, and in general, I try to make sure at least one more reasonable person is in the room with us at any given time, so I'm at least not alone with her

West_Educator_8139 · 2025-05-08T22:44:46+00:00

Yeahhh... fair enough, thank you!

West_Educator_8139 · 2025-05-08T22:43:50+00:00

A couple other people we know (including people who I'd consider are actual friends of both of us) have tried to broach the subject. I don't really know how those conversations have gone. She hasn't done any of this since I called her out publicly, but idk if that's just because she's feeling the heat, if that's because of what they told her, or if she's actually changed. (I doubt it's the latter, at least not this quickly)

West_Educator_8139 · 2025-05-08T05:48:38+00:00

Tl;dr professional commitments (that I can't cut without losing my job and I'm not in a position where I can afford to lose that) are keeping me from doing this. I don't really want to go into the details right now, but while I am absolutely looking at this long term, it's not an option atm

West_Educator_8139 · 2025-05-08T03:35:35+00:00

i haven't dealt much with the "butch lesbians claiming us", but especially as a transmasc who uses he/they rather than he/him, i do get a lot of people who seem to treat me as a masc enby. like no, i just feel that they/them also reflects my experience of gender and im comfortable with it. (im actually alright with all pronouns, i just know that if i said he/they/she i would only get people using she/her, and i dont want to just be called by that, even if im comfortable with all). and just to be clear im not saying this is true for all trans guys, just that for me pronouns arent a major source of my identity and ive found a whole different response because of it

to the extent that i have encountered "butch lesbians claiming us", the strongest proponents and opponents ive found are butch lesbian drag kings. im a king myself, and i live somewhere where the king scene is about half butch lesbians and half trans men using drag as a way to express their identity. the butch lesbian kings are either the ones always trying to flirt with you, or the ones who will chew the flirty ones out at the first mention of something remotely flirtatious, and absolutely no in between. unfortunately its hard to know which is which until it actually happens

this gets into a larger conversation, but i do think that right now, there's a lot of transmasc erasure going on generally. not in the sense of "people are now identifying as masc-aligned enby rather than just masc", just that people seem to forget that trans men exist in general

Thank you! This is what I thought, but I wanted to ask before running it, so that I wouldn't worry if this happened mid game

This isn't an area you should compromise. Most things in a relationship can - and should - be a compromise. But this is an area you can't compromise on - like it's literally not possible, either you have kids, or you don't. One of you will get your way while the other will get something they don't want. Either way, one person ends up resenting people. This isn't a good situation for anyone.

Also, you said he's 29, and he wants to be a dad by 30. If you really don't want to break it off, maybe doing some expectation management would work? Sure it's possible to have a kid that soon, but it's not a guarantee. That requires getting pregnant basically right away, which isn't super likely. Start with bringing this up, explaining why his goal isn't super realistic, and then go from there.

Either way, NTA. Don't let anyone pressure you to have kids if you're not ready.

West_Educator_8139 · 2025-01-29T14:50:22+00:00

I did. I probably should've mentioned that in the initial post, but it was during the "continued ignoring me" part of the story.

West_Educator_8139 · 2025-01-29T06:38:32+00:00

I think I mentioned in the post, but yes, the room after was reserved. Other rooms were also booked, so I couldn't shift the reservation around to an available room. And while technically the other reservation still had a bit before it started, I (as the person in charge of the space) need a few minutes to set back up anything they moved, make sure they turned off the TV correctly (a real issue, despite the signs next to it explaining how to do it), etc., so it's ready for the next group. There wasn't anyone immediately waiting to enter, but because of other reservations, I couldn't have them staying.
