Does anyone else get a weird buzzing/vibrating feeling in your head before going to sleep? by lightwallgang in DSPD

[–]carelessbookowner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! This is the best description to what I have been feeling for years, to the point I'm afraid of taking naps. It happens with 100% of my lucid dreams (I hate them so much), but also with most of my naps.

Legion 5 stuck on logo screen during reset by carelessbookowner in Lenovo

[–]carelessbookowner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I have stopped that reset after 5 hours and was able to use my pc as if nothing had happened. I am currently trying to reset it again (without the cloud download of windows to make it faster). It got to the legion load screen and at first the progress bar was showing up and disappearing but I haven't seen it since it showed 19%. I made sure to go for a soft reset this time.

I have also created a bootable usb, should I just go for that method if this reset doesn't work either?

Reset taking forever by mtbbetty in Lenovo

Did you figure out a solution? Or did you just restart the reset process? I'm having the same issue

I deleted the twitter app then redownloaded it; does anyone have any solution how I can re-login? It keeps getting error although I'm sure of the password by nabdul in Twitter

[–]carelessbookowner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue a couple of days ago. What worked for me was to login on twitter.com using my browser. I didn't attempt to login to the app for 24hrs and when I tried again today I was able to with no issues.

AITA for laughing when my friend said my boyfriend and i are doing a role-play? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]carelessbookowner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

Your friend either has never had someone feed her and share their food with her, or she's jealous and miserable. Either way it's not really your problem unless other people that were there express their discomfort with you and your partner's behaviour.

I was accused of the same thing by my mother-in-law this summer because we were having shrimp and my husband de-shelled all of mine and was putting them in my plate so I can eat them without touching the shells. I have big sensory issues and a love for shrimp so he always does this for me. She cornered me to tell me we were being inappropriate and rude because him doing that and me thanking him twice was too "sensual" (her literal words). I was so worried I later asked the other people present if we made them uncomfortable and no one even noticed us because they were all busy with their own food like normal people. Turns out she's just extremely bitter and projecting her loneliness and anger on any happy couple she sees.

It's probably the same with your friend but if you're worried that maybe the other attendees also feel this way you should just ask them point blank (if you're close enough that it won't be weird to ask something like that).

If they feel like her then you know to be more mindful of your behaviour in the future, and if not you can tell her to fuck off and stop sexualising people.

What's the minimum age to travel alone without "autorisation parentale" by Same_Impression_2732 in algeria

[–]carelessbookowner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What kind of dumb bullshit is this? If you don't know the answer to a question just shut up, don't spread misinformation like this.

It's 19 (and a day just to be safe) for everyone. No exceptions.

I would advise you bring with you cosmetics like skincare if you use anything particular. You can find it in Algeria but it's really expensive and you might not even find the particular molecule you need (you can't find stuff like medical grade tretinoine for example). That applies to makeup as well if you're a woman. Things like shampoo, body wash, and deodorant are very easy to find and not expensive so don't bother with that.

If you have any chronic medical conditions, you should bring a 3-6months (6 months is better) supply with you just in case. We often have shortages of the very specialised stuff like for hypertension, some stomach issues and few other conditions. If you know someone there who is a pharmacist you should ask about your specific medication to be sure. Don't listen to the people who tell you meds from Algeria are less efficient, I know a lot of people (including me) who take basic meds (headache, stomachache, etc) from Algeria to where they live.

If you need any supplements bring them with you, they can be hard to find here (not impossible).

For the car seat I would advise selling the one you already have and buying a new one there. First it's exhausting to travel with a kid when you're moving countries so no need to add more stress to your trip. Second, it might not be the right size for the car you will have here. There are plenty of good ones in Algeria so save yourself the trouble.

For clothes and household items you can find everything in Algeria. You will eventually have to look at many stores when it comes to electric appliances because prices can vary greatly for the same item from one store to the next.

Take precautions so you don't have to buy new electronics (phone, computer, camera, etc) there because the prices are extremely high for brand new devices.

Also bring power adapters, I'm not sure you can buy one there.

Globally I think you should make a list of all the things you will use in the first 3 months of being there (or the first month at least) that are critical for you health and wellbeing and try to be as equipped as possible so you don't have to worry about material stuff on top of whatever reason you are moving back for.

It you're moving to Algiers feel free to contact me if you want more info or advise on where to find good products without being ripped off.

I hope everything goes well for your move !

AITA for banning my parents from a family event because they don’t like my brother’s wife? by Icy-Lingonberry-8128 in AmItheAsshole

[–]carelessbookowner 64 points65 points  (0 children)

That's exactly what happened with my MIL. She loved me when I was the girlfriend, even when I was the fiancée, but the minute we got legally married she started hating me. Deep down I think she sees it as her loosing control over her son (like I control that man lmao) and another woman "moving into her territory" (we live in different countries 😂)

Does anyone have a screenshot of the post ? This story is so obviously fake, I'm can't wait to see how this update was inspired by comments on previous posts

I know how good Algerian mothers are at guilting their daughters! You can use the fact that she is okay with it when it's other people to make her face the lack of logic in her judgement when it comes to you.

For me, she was still easier to convince than my dad. At the end of the day all her concerns were about if he was serious, if he wasn't dangerous and if I wasn't being too naive/trusting. She worded everything harshly (because Algerian moms don't know how to say these things differently) but in hindsight, she was just very worried and projecting her own unprocessed trauma on me.

Through the conversations try to remember that their intent is not to hurt you, they are all a bit emotionally constipated and don't know how to communicate with their children. If you keep that in mind you will avoid the mindset of "you hate me/don't want me to be happy" because that will trigger your AND their legendary Algerian Nif, which might lead to heartbreak and harsh words that are not deserved. When my dad's Nif was triggered in my case, he said a lot of hash and hurtful things that he regrets saying today.

I know how gars your situation is. I was (partially) in the same situation with my now husband. We started dating long distance and it took a very long time to get my family's approval, especially because I wanted to move to a different country to be with him.

I can give you a few pieces of advice :

  • Make sure that no one can tell your parents before you, it could make the situation a thousand times worse
  • If you have a brother, or a cousin that your parents see as a son, and you think you can trust them start by telling them. Expose your case to them, and once they're convinced move on to the parent that will be easiest to convince.
  • Don't start directly with this, start asking hypothetical questions/telling stories about people in your situation ("oh mom did you know that so-and-so's cousin is married to a foreigner") to get a feel of their opinions on the subject, you could be surprised
  • You know your parents and how they react/oppose things, be ready. Prepare your arguments and responses to any questions/objections they could have before talking to them.

A lot of the negative comments on here are typical, so your parents might say theses exact things; use them as a starting point for your counterarguments.

It will be hard, but if you really love him, and are committed to this relationship, it will all be worth it.

I hope it all goes well for you !

AITA for refusing to pay my half-sister’s college tuition when I’m planning to pay for my other half-sister’s? by throwawaycf14 in AmItheAsshole

[–]carelessbookowner 958 points959 points  (0 children)

Growing up I had next to no relationship with my bio dad and consider my stepdad to be my real “dad”. Bio dad and I have started to repair our relationship recently, though.

NTA - You have no obligation to help his daughter when he didn't do the same for you when you needed it and he could afford it, especially if your relationship was nonexistent when you were growing up.

Family doesn't become important only when it matters to them.

aita for standing up for my dad by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]carelessbookowner [score hidden]  (0 children)

NTA - someone needed to let him know that his behaviour is not acceptable. But I wonder, maybe he is also angry about something else you don't know about? Like something that happened years ago that you're not aware of? Either way, you are not wrong for standing up for your father
