why would my friend invite me to the gym then go without telling me?

so earlier me and my friend (17f) were at work and she said she was going to the gym after work and asked if i wanted to come. even though she got out an hour earlier i said sure and she said she would go home to eat then wait for me to get out then go over. she finished her shift and i finish mine before i leave work she asks me if i can send her her schedule for the next week which i do.

then im home about a half hour later waiting for her to tell me she was on her way and i texted asking how much a day pass was and she goes i have no idea but find out for yourself im working out right now. i was very confused since i didnt even know she had left for the gym and she had said she would wait for me, so i go why didnt you tell me when you were leaving? and she said that just because we are there together doesnt mean we will be working out together? (i had assumed we would be doing our separate workouts but starting them at the same time after meeting up at the same time, which seems like the normal thing you do...)

so i tell her i thought we would at least be meeting up together and start our workouts at the same time, and i told her she said she would wait for me and she said no i didnt? but had apparently said that she was going to go at 7... and then said it's "important for me to be able to go by myself" and so it doesn't matter that we are starting at different times, like no shit i usually work out by myself but what's the point of going together if we are staggering our workout start and end times... then i couldn't even work out because they were closing in 15 minutes and since i hadn't gone earlier due to not knowing she was already there then i missed out on a short workout. does anyone know why she would do this, i genuinely don't understand her?

why do people consider identifying someone by their race racist?

i have a few friends and we seem kind of split on this, i had to identify someone in our school i didn't know the name of, so i said "oh it's the black girl" (we have literally ONE black girl in our school and everyone knows and likes her) and my friends said ohh ok but then like 2 of them went wow that's racist and their explanation was "you're making it sound like them being black is their only characteristic" as if saying "oh the woman" is any better and since i don't know her well i don't know anything else about her. most of my friends didn't see how it was racist though but why is this considered racist if it's not a race correlated insult or derogatory??

dell D1226H cut vga cable, anyone have a pinout?

there's a red green blue gray yellow orange brown and white cable along with the bare grounding wire but besides the (likely) thicker rgb wires i'm not too sure which corresponds to what. i can't find any service manuals so im wondering if anyone knows which colors correspond to which function?

why is render so much brighter than viewport

i set the renderers to v-ray and using the vray sky and sun but in renders it's completely white but the viewport looks fine. also should the viewport be showing a sky? because i read somewhere it should because i set the environment map to vray sky but im not seeing it.

how can i fix my crt monitor? i kinda know my way around crts but idk where to start

i have a really nice 17" trinitron tube crt (kds avitron av7tf) but it has a few issues that made me stop using it but i'd like to start using it again as it's currently my nightstand.

i've taken apart crts and cleaned/discharged them and disassembled and reassembled so im familiar with what the spicy bits are but im not sure where to start on this monitor.

the main issues are the screen has a red tint and on blacks it's like a dark red, then the screen like ever so slightly flickers not in the traditional crt fashion but like the brightness jumps around like it's unstable, then there's this weird buzzing noise kind of like staticky and the brightness variation flickering gets worse when that buzz amps up randomly, and it very rarely arcs like makes a zap noise and the image blows up for a second, i cleaned and put dialectic grease on the anode cap but that didn't solve any issues, it also gets pretty hot kinda quick and emits a weird musty smell.

i ran it with the casing and the lights off and i didn't see anything sparking or arcing but the buzzing noise was coming from the fly back and from up close it did sound like electrical arcing but like constant. does anyone know what exactly i have to do to fix the issues? thank you

weird relative lack of high speed 5g rollout compared to other states?

i know this is heavily location dependent but everywhere i go in maybe like a 20 mile radius of home (middlesex county) for cell service i get usually lte or lower speed 5g, but i went to west virginia like all across the state and reliably even in small rural towns i could get 5g uc and a couple times got speeds over a gigabit in the middle of the woods in a town that only had 10 houses and a church. might be bias but all across where i go in ct ive never seen cell service like that

stole this from the dump

aoc spectrum 5nlr, can't find anything online it but it can surprisingly do 1280x1024 and 768p@85 which i thought was uncommon for a 15 inch crt monitor, cleaned it out a little and it was arcing a lot at first and the geometry sucked but after running it a bit it somehow fixed itself and went back to normal and only arcs occasionally

why do i suddenly have extremely good cell service in a place that was a full dead zone the day before?

i'm out camping in west virginia and yesterday when i got to the site, i had no cell service on either mint or at&t (trial sim). both just said no service never got any bars but the weather was very nice so nothing related to that. this morning i wake up and check my phone and SOMEHOW i have 3 bars of 5g uc and 2 bars of signal on at&t in the exact same spot. how is this possible??

I can only aim well in aim trainers on widow

I have about 30 hours in matches since I started playing in January (only played with my friend from january to march then stopped and started playing just by myself in may so 15 of those hours are recent) I usually play widow or s76 depending on the map and with both characters my aim is alright but in aim trainers i can aim pretty well and hit consistent headshots on widow, but in game and deathmatch i keep whiffing shots, like it takes 3-4 tries to hit someone standing still sometimes when thats an easy first headshot in the same situation as aim trainer (i use vaxta) why does this happen? when i play soldier my aim is pretty much the same between in game and vaxta but not widow.
