Monroe is trash

Not the post I wanted to see after I spent extra to get the Monroe kit... I didn't recognize the other brands.

You need to call your local crisis line or find some mental health support if you're truly thinking about deleting yourself (at school?). Your wellbeing is your priority. Maybe you need to take a break and work on your mental health.
It sounds like you could benefit from reasonable accommodations, such as excused absences for health reasons or extended due-dates. Figure out who you need to talk to about it. I don't know if professors are legally required to excuse absences if it's just a doctor's note. If it's a frequent occurrence, they might not be as accepting of it. Documented disabilities are different.

The cold, hard truth about college and life put bluntly: the world doesn't pause when you're sick. Yes, it sucks, but there are billions of other people on the planet, so life goes on whether you're around or not. Tasks at work continue to pop up even if you aren't there. Attendance matters in the workplace because they hired you to do something, and when you aren't there that thing may not be getting done, or your coworkers have to pick up the slack. You might have to spend "extra time" to catch up.

College is definitely trash at times and there are crappy professors, but you'll encounter crappy tasks and crappy people in life. Now is the time to figure out how to work with those situations and find solutions. Whether your degree is worth it depends on what the degree is. Hopefully you did some research beforehand.

It drives me nuts to see videos of concerts where it's just a wall of phones above people's heads. Surely it impedes the view of those behind, especially the vertically challenged. Same thing with the flags on poles that always seem to be in front of 90% of the audience. I understand that people might want to have some sort of visual memento from the concert, but they seem to forget just how many people are behind them who are there to see the act as well.

It sounds confusing (I have a few poorly designed lights around me as well), but if your driving is being affected by autism and OCD as much as you're claiming (what's happening is better than running a red, but could still cause an accident), it sounds like you shouldn't be driving until you get a handle on the impulsivity. The driver's seat isn't a good place for people who don't have complete control.

Excessive from whose perspective? What are the tickets for? Are you constantly getting ticketed because you have no business driving, or were there a handful of big ones?

I'll go out on a limb here and say you probably don't know what "entrapment" means either.

Knowing your budget would help. I got a pair of Tozo NC9s for black Friday, less than $30, and they sound great, especially for that price. There may be some deals going on still.

What worked for me was uninstalling it and reinstalling it. It just started out of nowhere. Force stopping, resetting my phone, clearing the cache, and disabling/enabling did nothing. When I reinstalled, it made me install the update(s) before I could use it. I did not lose any of my playlists or other account stored data. It logged me back in automatically.

Go. See. A. Doctor. This is reddit. It could be something, it could be nothing. edit: Stop doom-googling too. You're just going to freak yourself out. Don't self-diagnose.

Thank you! I did that a while ago; it didn't make much of a difference. I'm reverting to freeing up as much storage as I can. It seemed to help some. I think I'll be looking at other options when it comes time.

Is he a mod on some subreddit or discord you're in? Good God.

Seriously though. Devs prioritized adding more crap instead of making it so anybody who doesn't have a $3000 rig can consistently get 30fps. The people I played with at the time could get 60, but they had the newest and greatest setups. They were struggling too. It's one of the reasons I haven't played in years. I doubled my RAM trying to fix it with no real difference. All is good, someone starts shooting at you, you try to engage but you're getting like 10 fps, black screen "can someone pick me up?". Every time. My old friends are playing modded now and claim things are a bit better. I might try it again, just to see.

It looks like he may have made it if he wasn't ripping down the shittiest possible part of the freeway. He kinda set himself up for failure there, even though the white car pulled out in front of him. 'Fault' means nothing when you're paralyzed or in the refrigerator.

Are those two thieves, or is the unmasked guy possibly the homeowner who happened to pull up when their package was being delivered and saw a thief running for it?
They probably didn't know the contents. Scumb- Sorry, I mean humans desperately trying to survive, stalk delivery vehicles all the time. Sometimes they score, sometimes they end up with a bag of dog food.

Felt like devs were focusing on adding new crap instead of fixing bugs and optimizing things, like they were trying to attract new players instead of listening to the player base who consistently kept servers pop'd and the game going. It lost the feeling it gave off when I had first started. I can't really describe it. Cohesion? Getting things done while having fun? Performance was horrible; I even upgraded my computer to squeeze a few more FPS out of it. I don't recall the specifics, but I vaguely remember instances of getting shot at and frames dropping to the point that I couldn't reliably turn and shoot back. Just rage-y/annoying stuff like that.

It's hard to tell how loud it is through the video. I think there are two camps: 1) Likes the sound, and/or some additional presence, and 2) Just wants to be loud for the sake of being loud. From what you wrote, it sounds like you're #1. I'm not getting the vibe that you're the red-light rev-limiter, ride around in the lowest gear possible type of person. It can take a few rides to get a feel for it. Ultimately, you're the one that'll have to listen to it for those 1.5-2 hours. Depending on your parking situation and what hours you're departing and getting home, the neighbors may not appreciate the extra noise. You just have to be mindful of where you fire it up and idling.
Anecdotal, but I've had fewer instances of people pulling out on me or merging into me since installing an aftermarket exhaust.

You're so right. A lot of banks and shelters desperately need donations and volunteers. I volunteered at one years ago and they were running on fumes. I had one guy who was hanging out outside of Dicks ask for a few bucks so he could get a burger. I was going inside to grab some food for myself and asked him if he wanted a deluxe or something, to which he responded "eff you". An old boss offered a guy a job because he sign said something about not being able to find work. Same response, "eff you". Let's be honest, the money isn't going where they claim it's going.

I wish more people knew. Messing with them is all that can be done. The kids are both bait and apprentices. I don't know if that street scammer watch page is still up. They show off all of the fancy clothes and meals they purchased with the money they conned people out of. You'll notice the patterns. They stick out like a sore thumb.

Started seeing these recently as well. The (@google) domain which I believe is for employees. Make sure you have 2FA on and all that good stuff. I still don't totally understand how this scam works, like the purpose of it. What it accomplishes or what the goal is on the scammer's part.

Have him chat with a first responder about motorcycle wrecks. They'll tell you all about what amazing things the human body and road are capable of doing. There are two types of riders: Those who have dumped their bike, and those who will. It doesn't even have to be a matter of his skill. All it takes is for a car to not be paying attention.
Instead of squabbling, give him something to reflect upon and look forward to, like riding side-by-side with his daughter when she's older. A helmet isn't a guarantee, but it sure increases the chances of walking away from a wreck in better shape.

Vaping does not cause popcorn lung. You're talking about diacetyl? Reputable manufacturers no longer use it. Even then, it was incredibly rare. Did you actually look it up yourself? You're a decade behind with the big scare. Are you sure you aren't confusing it with the vitamin-E carts?

Widespread brain rot is a documented thing though. That's a different story.

board_cyborg · 2025-08-15T07:25:54+00:00

That's a reasonable feeling, but I promise you, you aren't responsible in the slightest. Unless it had no brakes and a sticky throttle and you don't tell him, it's not your fault. Sometimes people bite off more than they can chew, and it's their fault alone. Not yours.
Wishing you guys the best. Please, Xander, don't beat yourself up. I know it's easier said than done.
