idk, don’t really know who i am right now
I’m relatively confident that it will get easier with time, on average. 
I think a lot of people decide not to try in the face of this kind of hurdle, so even being willing to fight to reclaim yourself is a huge positive step, imo.
thank you sorry I missed this!! do you think going slowlyer might help? (I will moisturize more too, i’m just using some cerave lotion rn)
I am giving you the credit, thank you for the help
progress: now wifi networks show up (i didn’t change anything) but i cant connect to them lol
edit: i am connected to the internet, lmao wtf
yeah, I was using the card so that I could do PCI passthrough back when I was using a VM for VR, since usb passthrough wasn’t working, the motherboard has like 8000 ports, yeah. I’m not doing VM anymore, so I thought I’d just take it out. You might be right that it could be a power management issue, but I don’t really need it right now so :shrug: I bet the card is fine
Asus B450M A-II Prime has a combo PS/2 jack :3
wow that’s pretty cool actually, damn
everything is fixed in linux, but windows pretends it doesn’t know what wifi is, so i’m off to figure out which service i accidentally disabled lmao (It Was Working A Couple Weeks Ago)
ok so I figured it out - get this, the PCI-E USB card that I had in there was causing problems, apparently. Worked last week. Removed it, suddenly wifi works, and so does everything else.
You might be on to something with this, since it appears that my problem was too many USB ports. Maybe the correct number is 0 after all. Return to PS/2 (do they still make mobos with them in them?)
i was so mad before, but when i read your post i couldn’t stop laughing, idk why. thank you haha (I’m finally feeling calm enough to go back in again, but yes return to PS/2 never failed me…)
I went to turn on my PC tonight, and just all of a sudden the wi-fi doesn’t work. Neither does USB. I have a dual boot setup (only use Windows for VR) but it seems to be some kind of hardware issue because not only does the wi-fi device apparently not fucking exist in both operating systems, but the stupid keyboard and mouse that has always worked now won’t connect (it’s not bluetooth, it’s the usually decent logitech receiver thing)
The worst part?? Keyb/mouse works JUST FINE in the bios, and the bootloader. Once it’s in either OS, it’s fucking broken, and because there’s no internet, I can’t fix it without just trying to usb key my way out of this mess. Since there’s no network and no input, I can’t even troubleshoot.
I tried to reset BIOS settings because I did do some tinkering in there a while ago, I think it made it worse, lol.
I just upgraded this computer too, lol.
https://substack.com/@drdevonprice I haven’t browsed much but he has a Substack ig, (I barely know what Substack is)
Based, correct, very cool, love to see it.
haha, yep, fingers crossed that the NDs will stick around too :) (this sentence made no sense, i am tired)
More silly because it took me so long, I guess everyone takes different time though. Also waow kink theory…
Yeah, everyone’s got their own pace for things, there is no “right” … I remind myself of this sometimes…
Fr it should be illegal to just lightly touch on that, we need to know more.
lol yes Devon, what are you doing? I’m sure he’s written blog posts about it, haven’t gone looking though.
Hmmmmmmm curious… autism and kink together again, many such cases apparently… whenever authors make dork unqualified statements like that I always want to grill them about it.
Yes, unfortunately it was an unqualified statement. But I suspect a lot of the people who actually stick around for me are ND.
that’s cool, how would a classical music/ambient/shoegaze/vg music person get into those? where would you recommend this hypothetical person start?
Oh I see, i have been missing sushi since I went vegan… This is giving me Adventure Time “don’t worry, it’s soy human” vibes lol
Bleak weather makes some music sound better to me too
Totally. I’ve listened to the Frostpunk OST a bunch in the past week, haha. (it was raining yesterday, so even better)
I take Vitamin D3 which is supposed to help, but still some days are tough until I get used to it.
There’s also the possibility that it could be a texture issue that’s upsetting you, not necessarily an allergy but I have a similar reaction to oatmeal, where I enjoy the flavour but the texture makes me feel off lol
Wow, interesting. Yeah it feels uncomfortable in my stomach, actually, I had to stop eating too much nut-based things (unless it’s balanced with other stuff) as it can make me feel a bit ill, but it’s always been really hard to describe the kind of feeling I feel, it’s not quite heartburn, not quite nausea… hmm
(I had oatmeal this morning, I can handle it once or twice a week as long as there’s blueberries and seeds in it lol, otherwise I can’t)
i must be missing some subtext here, lol very confused
edit: nope, i think i figured it out
I have this mirror on my desk for some reason, and I just caught my reflection in it, and turns out my hair looks really nice today :3 I should probably trim a couple things but 0 regrets cutting my own hair lol
same, but the snow, cute tights, warm lighting, hot drinks, and bundling up usually make it worth it for me. But some days are tough
damn, thats awesome on all counts
lol this is me fr
