Just about anything creative: music, art, writing. It doesn’t stop me from trying, but it’s clear the creative vision or raw talent that some others have is missing.

Both. I add my own personal style into outfits that are appropriate for the event I am going to and for the season. I do like the extra attention that comes from dressing a bit fancier, but not at the expense of my comfort and I own very few things that require special care or maintenance.

You need to pour confidently. You can’t let the liquid sense your fear.

I would just be happy to have a re-start at life and a chance to make better choices. Enjoy simpler times, get a head start on hobbies and passions, see my favorite bands that are no longer around :)

Eventually I would invest in things which would earn me a safety net and extra income (hard to do that as a 10 year old), but not in companies that go against my values. I don’t need to get rich but I would like enough to be able to benefit my loved ones and community. Not the most ambitious, but practical.

Hemorrhoids are caused by excessive pressure in the veins around the anus and not because they just like to come out when you’re not looking lol.

Besides, people walk around with all kinds of visible swelling/irritations on other body parts all the time when they can’t immediately treat them.

I don’t see why you couldn’t have two separate devices - a basic smartphone that has only the apps you need for work (and no other personal information on it such as photos, contacts, etc.) and a “dumbphone” for personal use.

You can use the smartphone without a SIM card if you don’t need to receive calls or texts (some authenticators only require you to enter a code in their app instead of calling or texting you). There are also VOIP and virtual numbers you that you can use on that device if you need call and text features without giving away your personal number.

I like the rugged CAT dumb phones and believe Nokia still makes decent ones.

Was is Crimson Room or one of its follow-ups?

I did a quick search online for caffeine-free energy drinks and saw a brand called Sparking Ice mentioned a few times as having variants without caffeine, as well as Monster Unleaded.

Good take. Some things are not even worth engaging with and my life has been much calmer since that realization.

Going back to the shower thought, turning off your hearing aids during an argument is like a live version of putting someone on mute.

Language learning is one thing that can be done when you only have your phone on you but want to be productive. Browsing Wikipedia can also lead you down some interesting rabbit holes where you end up learning something new. I’ll also use downtime to clean up my files and photos.

First, it’s not only you: making plans that accommodate everyone’s schedules and budgets can be tricky, especially if a lot of people are involved, so you might not be doing anything wrong. You can try letting them know what you want to do earlier in advance so that they know not to make plans for the day. People are more likely to respond to concrete dates, times, and locations instead of vague ones.

Also not all of your friends are going to share your hobbies and interests and that’s ok. Try inviting just the ones you know for sure enjoy the things you do, or joining clubs or activity groups for those things to potentially meet new people to do them with. The time with your other friends can be spent on things you know they want to participate in and can afford.

Appreciate the honesty about the AI disclaimer.

Nice to see some love for RevCo here. That whole album was great.

Metallic mini backpack.

Worth it. I love the color, it was on sale, and I hate carrying purses.

Sometimes the alignment has to be very precise to get it in, and when it isn’t, it causes you to think you’ve used the wrong side/angle - especially when you aren’t looking at it directly.

Fake Traveler is another GPS spoofer that was recommended online, since you say MockGPS didn’t work consistently for you.
