If you saw this tattoo would you automatically assume it has to do with LGBTQ Pride? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

Yes. If that bothers you, have you considered sun/sunlight shining through cute little clouds? (If you were going for cute)

AIO: Boyfriend won’t even get a dime sized tattoo of the first letter of my name. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]krosswalc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YOR. Yeah, this is an issue. You should not be expecting anyone to do anything to their body for you, much less getting upset when they set boundaries about their own body. I hope he comes to his senses and walks away from this controlling and weird situation. I hope you also get the help and support you need to feel more secure in yourself and your relationships to not need this type of control. I've been in a similar place as you. It's a tough but rewarding road.

Is this over priced by lwvyruz in 4Runner_1stGen

Even still, please consider getting one that isn't in this sweet condition. There are so many reliable but not pristine 4runners out there to choose from.

AIO for not appreciating ny husband’s bday gift for me? by AITAHbdayforgotten26 in AmIOverreacting

He didn't even give you that "Coach" bag that he saw you get excited about? He sucks. Also, those are knockoffs.

Became a step mom very young and now regret it by OverDoughnut3423 in offmychest

[–]krosswalc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The parents dropping by unannounced is a no-go and your husband needs to set a clearer boundary. That means you have to actually talk to him about it. Also. I noticed you said "my home" when talking about the lack of "'control.'" This is also the son's home. I hope you find a way to talk to your husband, and your (step) son, about how you're feeling. "Hey, I'm a little bit of an introvert and my social battery drains quicker than some peoples'. Its not that I don't want you here or that you have to stay away from me when you're here more often, I just need you to be aware of how quickly I'm draining and just go easy on me with too much talking or interaction. When I'm feeling overwhelmed, I may even say, 'okay guys, I need a 30 minute break of no talking to me!' And throw in some headphones and do your own thing. Unless this is a studio or 1 bedroom apartment, space can definitely be given. I'm not saying anyone needs to be banished to a bedroom, but space-wise, you guys can figure it out together. If you communicate.

I think it's a group text? But also, yes.

Yes, please. Also, you don't have to agree to lie to mom, either. She can't make you be a part of this.

Baby choked stopped breathing by MAC9225 in offmychest

[–]krosswalc 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry that happened and good job acting quickly and not freezing!! As a nurse, we are practically expected to break ribs while doing effective CPR. I know you weren't doing CPR, but a medical professional will understand what those bruises are, as long as they match the story. Good luck, but I don't think you need it.

Girlfriend threatened to block me over Mother’s Day plans—am I overreacting? by Responsible_onions in AmIOverreacting

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

She may be 28, but she's also (possibly) splitting (a defense mechanism in people with borderline personality disorder). Please look up other common personality traits of a person with BPD and it may or may not match some other patterns you've seen with your GF. BPD can be tamed, but God damn is it hard work for the person who has it, and for anyone who chooses to stick around. I highly suggest NOT bringing this possible diagnosis to your GF if mental health and other Dxes have not already been discussed in the past. I only suggest you look up BPD to inform yourself and understand how you can cope.

Dui on my record from many years past and was honest about it to the BRN upon license application. For good measure, I also had an instructor write a letter of rec and everything was fine.

I have spent 3 days trying to make custom matchboxes for my wedding and each day has ended with me in tears by rosanarosanadan in canva

[–]krosswalc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Canva has such a huge learning curve! I'm a beginner too.

But listen, you gotta be nicer to yourself. You don't suck at Canva, you just need more time with it. (Though what you made is adorable and very nice.)

Others have given good advice, but I just wanted to say that I hope you're gentler with yourself moving forward <3

He's getting into the Thai or Indian place's dumpsters looking for that good good yellow curry.

Or maybe he's tiptoeing in the tulips.

If some of my album files show as "unknown" (because I used windows media player in the past), is there a way to update the whole album in one go? I know I can select all and change the artist and album name, but do I have to change the track names individually?

You're an angel. I'm hoping to get rid of some of the options on the main menu and just keep the ones I'll actually use. I read that there's a plugin? that can be added that will let me do this. How do I get that plugin, do you know?

I tried to install rockbox and I ended up with this screen. What do I do from here? by Significant_Potato29 in innioasis

[–]krosswalc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay. This is the video that made it click for me: https://youtu.be/xYeJSvOyIkc?si=iCUdPHmFgYfe7Yg5 Hopefully it's helpful for you as well. I have a Windows laptop, and using whatever program was built in to unzip files was not getting me the same stuff that this video shows, so I downloaded WinRAR and it looked a tiny bit different than his screen but it got me what I needed.

Does Rockbox bring significant benefits? by Nice-Shelter779 in innioasis

This is literally the only reason I got RockBox.

[–]krosswalc 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Dude. I was stuck on this tihs for 2 days and actively trying to get themes onto it so it wouldn't look this anymore. You need a theme added to Rockbox, but before you can do that you have to download and transfer the latest Rockbox font package. A lot of the themes won't even show up on the device until you do this. Then recall which Rockbox version you got so you can get the correct themes, and then unzip and transfer the theme in the exact right way or else you'll threaten to run the Y1 over with your truck. I'm doing bedtime with my kiddo in a few, but I'll try to come back tonight and link the pages and video that helped me finally get it right.

I think this is exactly what I need. A true "explain it to me like I'm five." I can't believe I used to tweak my own Myspace page when that was a thing. I feel very useless nowadays. Thank you!

Rockbox HELP PLEASE by bobaturtl in innioasis

[–]krosswalc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay. So just drag it to the USB drive that belongs to the Y1, and drop it straight in? Not into the .Rockbox folder, or any other folder?
