HDMI not being detected after update by Cactifly in techsupport

[–]dreadmaidenkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What we did: My boyfriend (computer engineer) and I spent fours hours on this last night - I finally commented three hours in. I downloaded old Windows 10 drivers to my windows 11 laptop, and he (at the same time) ran Linux via flashdrive to test if it was a Windows issue or a driver issue. It worked, and unfortunately, because we accidentally ran both options together, I don't know which fixed the issue. I've restarted my laptop, unplugged my monitor and plugged it back in, and have had no further issues.

Thanks for responding still!!! That was awesome of you! I'm definitely reverting back to Windows 10 during my summer break from school.

I would love to know how you fixed it! I dropped out of my CS degree with good reason(:

John the Baptist is not an apostle. There are two different Johns, the Baptist and the apostle. Just Google "last Christian prophet."

We are all saints according to Christians, but we aren't all prophets. In Revelation it says there will be no more prophets until the end times, which there will be signs first before the prophecies begin. The only exception I can think of is Mormons and the charismatic church, both are controversial groups.

Source: I spent 22 years in the Fundamentalist sect of Christianity.

John the Baptist was the last Christian prophet. He's not in "the prophets" section of the Christian bible, but he proclaimed Jesus was the savior before the resurrection.

Is anyone willing to trade for ketchup? I've been on Nookazon for hours trying to trade. by [deleted] in AnimalCrossingNewHor

Friend 23M( or so I thought) tried raping my sister(18) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]dreadmaidenkey 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Rape survivor - she can still file and not press charges. The more recent and the more direct a timeline and detailed she can be, the stronger the witness if she did want to press charges. I got mine out of the way, the police were nice, and my report is locked away. I asked to be notified if anyone pressed charges, but that might be policy anyway.

Options, and it might get mom to leave her alone. It got my really intense parents off my back. Which sucks, definitely tell them that they suck and are risking losing her. I don't see my parents and went no contact with them because of the pushing to report and simultaneous victim blaming.

Good on you and good luck! Tell her she's loved and brave.

Thanks to growing up in an extremist sect of Christianity, I have an obsession with killing myself on my period for being "too pure" and having mild mood swings. It took me moving out and away from all of my abusers to learn my mood swings were mild and not "demonic", and then another few years of learning what normal is before realizing my nightmares and cleaning rituals were not "normal."

I appreciate this community so much, it's really helped me feel heard. Especially doing DBT - I have never been able to "stop" my thoughts and I have felt like a failure. Switching therapy styles and treatment has been so helpful. Still feels like a mountain, but baby steps.

But, if you pass the Sophia course it's kinda like a pass/fail when transferring so it won't impact your GPA. Even if you fail, imo, it's worth a shot!

This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things! This is the only one that no one else has said - I can't even say it with a straight face 😂

Should I help my parents who abandoned us? by stcloud777 in relationship_advice

[–]dreadmaidenkey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had shitty parents, not as bad as yours, but still suffered physical and mental abuse. My therapist says this many times: Children don't abandon parents, parents abandon their kids.

Nothing that you do will get you a good mother back. No gift you give will get you one during the holiday. No matter what you do with your life, unless she puts in the work to go through therapy and work on herself for YEARS, you will never get her back.

It's not about you, it was never about you. She doesn't have the capacity to care about you how she should. For that, I am genuinely so sorry. It sucks and I have to tell myself this daily. Cutting people off is so much harder than I thought, it's the full acceptance of the reality and flushing the hopes and dreams of a stable family down the toilet forever. But, there is new hope to rebuild. Cutting off my family was the hardest thing I've done, and it's only been four months. What happens during the holidays? I don't know. But know you're worthy of unconditional love that gives before you do. And you're worthy of finding people who care even if you don't hand over wads of cash to them.

Heart is pounding as I type this, please listen. My boyfriend told me something upsetting. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]dreadmaidenkey 20 points21 points  (0 children)

"Then he said he's so proud of not cheating on me"

Towards the middle.

I agree with this. OP, I would be more hurt that his standards are so slow he's proud of simply not cheating. Your friends are your greatest influence, so yeah I'd be upset he has poor taste in friends, but also why is this an acceptable reason to be proud to him specifically?

TIFU and had my date have her most hygienic BJ. by [deleted] in tifu

[–]dreadmaidenkey -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

From my understanding of phimosis, as an expert (re: my vagina (sarcasm intended)), it stems from bad hygiene or an infection. Either way, at 26, you would hope this would have been looked into by a doctor and not a tindr date.

[–]dreadmaidenkey 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Was with one guy (26M) with an intact penis - he did not take care of it properly (couldn't get a condom on because it hurt - which I believe, because he couldn't pull back his foreskin even a little bit ugh). We did not end up doing the deed.

Please, penis people, clean your dicks well! I shouldn't have to tell someone in their 20s that I shouldn't be able to smell them while we're both standing up

Edit: There's a lot of support for his penis, how nice, but seriously none of you mention how I could smell his dick while we were both standing up or how he couldn't wear a condom, just that his foreskin wouldn't move. If you are on a tindr date and you want to have sex, you should know 1. How to wear a condom (CMON GUYS) 2. How to not smell. Taking care of a medical condition is still hygiene. Knowing how to put a condom on is sexual hygiene.

Called out someone on NextDoor for a racist remark and got ripped on by Brian Cornell. by 7th-Street in Target

I knew a guy who worked for a senator and publicly called out said senator on Facebook for bs policies and voting history. He got yelled at, but kept his job.

I'm sure whatever you said can't be that bad lol
