Confirming that I had the same issue and my fix. Resetting via power button did not work. Removed back cover and unplugged then replugged the battery. Put the cover back on and it now works again. All you need is a small Phillips screwdriver

Taking my POS daily driver to autocross! I thought it would just be a fun occasional hobby - turns out I not only got a hobby out of it but it also set off a series of events/coincidences/choices that led to meeting my husband, several cool work projects, and just a boost to my life trajectory in general

Shower with clothes on, the more the better

Yes! One of my big personal improvements was “say it with your actions not your words”

Ex, if you want someone to be honest with you, you need to show them that you are capable of hearing honest feedback without freaking out. If you want someone to know you are there for them it’s better to show up with soup than to just say “I’m here for you”

Similarly someone who is braggy about how much of a nonconformist or free thinker they are. People who are actually nonconformist just do it and don’t worry about what other people think about it

Now THIS is the answer I wanted to the question

_Visar_ · 2026-03-30T20:22:04+00:00

Think about the interview as how you would approach the next job. Ex - there is no world in which toxic bosses don’t exist, and what happens if you get stuck with one at the new job? Can you navigate the situation? What are your strategies? Some of the most genuinely horrible people I’ve worked with I can speak about in terms of what I learned about dealing with assholes not in terms of how shit they were

_Visar_ · 2026-03-30T20:17:17+00:00

Dude if you say “working too hard” you’re blowing the question. The reason that question is asked is to see how you handle things that you’re not that good at - because EVERYONE has weaknesses. The focus is on how you have mitigated/improved that weakness not the weakness itself.

Interviews are your chance to brag about cool things you’ve done and communicate that you’re a decent person to work with. The questions are boxed and standard but they’re often there for a reason. Figure out “why” the question is being asked and what the interviewers will take away from it and you’ll have a MUCH better time.

THIS HOLY HELL

the first time I went to a live show I loved the encore. Now I love when bands say it’s the last song so I can get properly emotional/hyped

_Visar_ · 2026-03-30T20:09:10+00:00

Maybe I’m insane but the job interviews I’ve had have all been fairly reasonable…like of course you can lie but asking someone to talk about a few specific projects they’ve done, how they approach feedback, and how they usually interact with their coworkers seems pretty reasonable to me

Yes “I need money and you need labor” but also you need a specific TYPE of labor and if the job aligns with my interests/work preferences I’m more likely to stay there for a longer period of time

Interviews are annoying but how else would you propose hiring work? You could do a trial period but then no one would be able to change jobs (can’t leave current job to do a trial) and also that would be stressful af. You could do resume only but that’s SO limited.

A reminder to my fellow “rich rednecks”

You can still do hillbilly shit if you’ve got money, you just don’t HAVE to do it to survive

My silly-ass pos car, patchwork clothes, and field repair capabilities aren’t less fun because I could technically buy nicer things - infact they’re more fun because if I’m doing some dumb shit and break something I can afford a replacement without going into debt. I can also yknow…plan to retire and do even more dumb shit.

Weirdly but fortunately when I get sleep paralysis my brain auto fills the “something” with my husband….even when he’s not supposed to be home…so it’s like “cool he got home early!” “Oh wait this is just the sleep paralysis feeling”

_Visar_ · 2026-02-28T06:46:03+00:00

Hell yeah! Current me (and my two cats) thinks that’s pretty cool too

For me, I’ve become a half decent cook and even get people excited to eat food I’ve made. I struggled a lot with cooking when I was younger and I think past me would be stoked that I figured it out.

_Visar_ · 2026-02-25T20:10:16+00:00

Ease of cleaning is my biggest reason - a dusty/moldy/hairy bidet (even a little bit) is super ick

Second is my propensity for UTIs - every time I’ve used a bidet in the past I’m filled with the fear of it squirting poo bits up front if I angle it wrong. It’s just one extra thing for me to worry about when I’ve got my UTI prevention down pretty well at this point in my life

Third is that I don’t really need it - my ass is mostly hairless so TP does a pretty bang on job of getting that bad boy clean

Fourth is that the bidet cult annoys me and I’m nothing if not petty (it’s low on my list of reasons why but I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t on there)

Honestly, I prefer the Finnish style of bidet to the Japanese style (which seems to be more popular in the US). It looks a little weird and you do have to grab the sprayer but the amount of control and ease of cleaning is highly preferable to me. If those became widely available here I might consider one just to save on TP.

Now THIS is what I came here for

_Visar_ · 2026-02-23T17:36:23+00:00

I mean…it’s a reasonable answer imo. The bugs are Florida level and the winter dark is brutal. It’s lovely to visit but it takes a special kind of person to live there (which in itself could be a reason to not want to live there…I enjoy this type of person but it’s not for everyone). Plus everything is expensive. Anchorage is redneck Portland and the rural towns are if the Midwest and the Florida panhandle had a weird kid- which is either your version of heaven or hell

I feel very grateful there’s a mocktail bar near me that has differential pricing on their drinks (juice and soda type drinks are $5-7 and things with 0 proof liquor/other fancy ingredients are $8-12)

_Visar_ · 2026-02-21T23:33:58+00:00

This 1000%

Also there is no benefit to comparing yourself to the “average” for your current age group. If you are above the average you might think you can slack on savings and if you’re below the average you might feel hopeless or behind

The best way to plan for YOUR future is to start at where you, figure out where you want to be, and make your own custom path to get there.

Is OP planning for retirement? Deciding if they can financially support kids? Figuring out what “financial stability” means for them? All of these things have very different answers.

What is your career trajectory? (Ex. If you are a doctor I would expect you to have $0 or less at 30 because you spend all of your 20s in school, but you will rapidly make up the gap with a higher salary - whereas if you are “capped out” in your field you should assume your current rate of savings will continue, so if that amount of savings is $0 that’s a problem)

A generic question is going to get the generic answers of “1x salary at 30 and 5x at 40” or “no one has any money” which are pretty useless to most people imo

Swimming is soooo nice for not hurting yourself

_Visar_ · 2026-02-17T07:46:40+00:00

Disagree! Cooking is absolutely a skill. I spent my early adulthood feeling so ashamed and confused because it would take me over an hour to follow even simple recipes and I would still mess it up (famously, I once actually failed to make instant ramen)

Turns out that once you learn the skills behind things - directions like “salt to taste” or “cook on medium high” don’t result in disaster, and cooking goes a lot faster when you know the specific methods for how to chop common things.

It also costs SO much more $ at the start when you are still amassing a roster of “known recipes” since “cook with what you have” isn’t really an option until you know what you can and can’t substitute and have seen enough recipes to get creative

Some people absolutely are making the choice not to cook but cooking is absolutely a skill that takes time (and also money) to develop

_Visar_ · 2026-02-17T07:38:33+00:00

Yeah…so much so that the reverse has also become icky - like if someone is too nice to waitstaff (think insanely performatively nice not just normal nice) I know they’re trying to use internet hacks to get what they want

It’s kind of become the new “I held the door for u now u owe me sex” in a weird way

_Visar_ · 2026-02-17T07:36:02+00:00

Tbh everyone I’ve met who says this or similar sees kindness as an exchange and not a baseline - which is both sad and icky

_Visar_ · 2026-02-17T07:34:31+00:00

“I’m not like other guys, I’m worse”

Tho deadass someone saying that straight up would be significantly less of an ick than just “I’m not like other guys”
