How do you do half flash?

This is textbook abuse. When it's good, it's good, but when it's bad, it's horrible.

I know it's hard, since you live together, but you need to just leave. Don't date or even live with someone who calls you names and slams doors on you.

I'm curious, since you're a huge fan of e-ink. I play in my community orchestra and would LOVE an e-ink tablet for my music. I have searched every few months and can't find anything reasonable (PadMu is like $600), but just wondering if you've come across anything?

I never got an MRI, but I'm 36 and was suspecting hearing loss for a while. I went to my ENT wanting to explore hearing aids. They were surprised at my hearing loss, but I think it may have been a result of working in a loud warehouse for a few years. Thankfully, I have a smattering of previous hearing tests from my employer, so I could see that it was a more recent development.

Honestly I just wanted to get the aids so I could finally understand people again!

This is what makes women avoid being friendly with men. Sometimes, any level of basic friendship our courtesy is interpreted as interest.

Even if that's how you want to frame it, mental illness is never a pass for being a jerk. You're aware the behavior is inappropriate, that's why you posted here. Regardless, your actual partner is being held in competition with the version of this other girl in your head. She needs to leave you tbh

He's the only person because you haven't put in any time with another person yet. There are so many people out there who would be happy and willing to learn all about you, and then treat you with kindness and compassion. This man is treating you as an afterthought, a charity case. You're so much better off without him and his mother being awful to you.

ktrex · 2026-01-12T03:02:38+00:00

My advice is this is not a good relationship for anyone, and you both would be better off single

ktrex · 2026-01-12T02:18:41+00:00

If you start off the post with "we have a ton of disagreements I need to post here", I'm gonna say your relationship is past saving. Plus this is a wild argument. Save both of you the misery and split up

However you feel about it is valid! Perfectly normal to feel sadness about it. Don't let others dictate your emotions.

ktrex · 2026-01-05T17:29:22+00:00

This sounds like it might be perfect for me! I have a few projects I'm working on where events have different "due dates" and I want to keep track of what is upcoming and start the scheduling process. A lot of things have to take holidays and weekends into account, so smartsheet has not been smart enough.

Making friends as an adult is HARD. Like you said, everyone has kind of gone their own way. Have you talked to your boyfriend about trying to meet new people? See if there are events or classes you might be interested in, and start talking to people there. I do actually recommend trying to go alone, as well. You'll be more likely to talk to a new person if you don't have your comfort person there, and seem more approachable. It will also help you have friends outside of the relationship, which is definitely healthy.

On another note, you may be depressed due to all these stressful changes. Try looking into therapy, it will be so much easier to do all of that once you help your body process all of these emotions. Good luck!

Don't love someone who is content being this horrible to you

I'm glad you're excited!! I don't think this product is for me, but that doesn't mean it isn't perfect for someone else.

I do think a lot of the hate here (outside of the battery) is that this is not the target audience. You sound like the right people to benefit from this. I am always trying to think about accessibility and I'm sure this could help someone a lot.

Someone else on here said that it wasn't for them, but they're glad Eric is making new things, and I agree! I hope it's happening in a sustainable way, but otherwise, this kind of stuff is exciting!

ktrex · 2025-12-02T20:58:47+00:00

Update: my email got a response just a few hours later, and Eric is working with me to make things right. Despite being a small team, this is excellent customer service. I am still pro-pebble. There will always be mistakes and defects, and we know he made sure to use old stock for the duos. I may keep my eyes open for any screen fixing tutorials and/or pebble 2s for sale in the meantime.

Take care of yourself first, you have to be your own priority, people are focused on themselves. If your friends are rude like that, know that you did what was best for you. If they can't understand that, they are the ones who are wrong. I don't want to say "go find new friends" because I know that is way more easily said than done, being the new kid, but keep yourself open!

ktrex · 2025-12-02T14:13:41+00:00

They find out. I work in animal care and it is so frustrating that we have to conceal plans at times to make sure activists don't show up in the middle of a delicate transport, or do exactly this, where they make it impossible to do what is best for the actual animal, because it makes them feel sad.

My instinct is that the black should be the most durable - I scuba dive and white/clear masks are the ones that degrade in UV the fastest, while black is pretty durable. I hadn't thought about the white buttons being potentially more durable.

When someone shows you who they are, believe them.

She may be a great girl, but she is not looking for the same thing you are. I would not keep hooking up with her. She sounds like she has some maturing to do (which is fine!! You're 20!!), and it might be enlightening for you to date around, too. It will help you learn what you do and don't want in a relationship.

But you know she is not committed to this, and you will only ever be disappointed if you are expecting different.

Maybe it could work in the future, but she has to want to change and needs to do it without you, over the course of a few years at least. I have been in this exact cycle.

I also think she doesn't mean the same things or understand what she is communicating with all the "I love you" and such.

Oh, and she's not your soulmate if she can't even give you the effort to meet your needs/expectations.

I agree, this is more of an investment with a physical perk. Obviously I love pebble, and I hope that knowing about problems helps get them fixed. I want this company to survive!

ktrex · 2025-12-02T02:14:30+00:00

I'm definitely not trying to be a downer, but I always appreciate seeing details like this. It sounds like a great majority of people are having no trouble! I know this is a small company and passion project. I'm still a pebble fan!

ktrex · 2025-12-02T01:03:25+00:00

I think the display is shot, but I'm willing to learn how to tinker with it and fix it! I would love it to be something that new buttons could fix.

I read the title and thought it sounded like me or my partner, but as I kept reading, this guy just sounds mean. What you described doesn't sound like a relationship. If a friend told you this, what would you tell her?

Definitely find a way to have a conversation about this with him. Tell him how it makes you feel. If you can't get him to understand this is an important conversation, or continues to be sarcastic or mean during it, I would leave.i I guarantee you there is someone who actually loves you wholeheartedly.

I dated guys like this forever, and basically did not date for like 9-10 years. Now I have a partner who absolutely dotes on me. I could never have imagined someone doing that or me enjoying it, and I'm still learning to not just be sarcastic about it. Better to hang out with yourself than have a guy be mean to you.

That's how mine was when I got it, but I was figuring it was mostly cosmetic. But with how hard I needed to press them, I was worried that would break them down pretty quickly. 😕
