I just realized that my face looks really slanted/asymmetrical to other people when they see me through a normal camera, because they see the unmirrored version.
I suffer from BDD, and seeing how different my face looks compared to the mirrored version I’m used to has been really upsetting.
What I’m looking for is an app that can **flip the camera feed in real time**, so that when someone else looks at me through their phone or sees me on a video call, they see the mirrored version of my face that I see in the mirror. Aka the version of myself that I see myself when I’m on a teams meeting.
I’m not trying to edit photos afterward or use a beauty filter. I specifically want something that can connect to the camera/video feed and make the image horizontally flipped **for the other person viewing it**.
Does an app like this exist for iOS? I’d really appreciate any recommendations that actually work well.
I live in the country with least amount of free time in the world. Nobody validates any struggles I’m facing. I hate this country and I want out
I am in China, the worst country in the world in terms of both personal speech freedom and free time
Most Chinese middle schools and high schools last sixteen hours a day, with most students forced to live in school, deprived of family life and any sort of freedom. Most high schools don’t have any clubs and even after students get home by eleven or twelve pm they still have to do homework. Most Chinese secondary students only get five hours of sleep each day. If they don’t finish their homework they get beaten up by their parents and then get beaten up again by teacher once they return to school.
School bullying is less common because every child is chronically ill so they don’t have the energy to bully others. Students get one day off once a month, rest of the days they forced to wake up at five, with forced study session ends at eleven in the evening and often twelve students sleep in a single room. There is no such a thing as a happy childhood in China. Even elementary schools are extremely stressful. There is no such a thing as rest for children in China. Summer and winter vacation also doesn’t exist in China or are cut extremely short compared to other countries. Chinese children are also not allowed to show emotions. If they cry in class teachers would beat them up in front of the whole class. If they cry at work HR would fire them the next day.
Once these sleep deprived children grow up, all the jobs force them to work 996, or if they are lucky, 975. People would consider themselves lucky if they get a 9-6 job with only one hour of sunlight everyday and with weekends off. While western people complain of 955 with two days wfh, any day from home is a complete fairy tale for a Chinese employee. The Chinese government made schools and work extremely long hours because they don’t want people to have free time to think and revolt against the government. I never see any smiles on a Chinese teenagers face. But I don’t blame them for it. I wouldn’t survive for a day if I were them.
Of course, there are worse places like war zones and places suffering from extreme poverty. But by far China is the most dystopian country I can think of.
I can personally not reproduce myself but I felt so bad for those kids who were already born.

I am a Chinese citizen, so please don’t say just leave if you hate this place so much.

Kind of like sewer gas. I already use the sink quite frequently and already used a drain opener to declog it, unsure what is the cause. The pipes are hidden inside a cabinet, and whenever I open the cabinet, a warm, sewer like smell comes out.
Hi everyone,
I live in a tall apartment building and have been dealing with a constant sewer gas smell coming from my toilet.
The smell seems to be strongest directly from the toilet bowl and not from the toilet base or around the floor.
What I have done:
Replaced the toilet wax ring/flange seal.
After replacing it, the sewer smell reduced significantly but it was not completely eliminated.
Current symptoms:
- No gurgling sounds.
- Toilet water level stays normal and does not drop.
- Toilet does not rock or move.
- No smell coming from the toilet base.
- The smell appears constantly rather than after every flush.
- The odor seems to come from the bowl opening/water area.
Because I live in a high-rise apartment, I am wondering if this could be related to:
- building plumbing vent problems,
- pressure changes in the main sewer stack,
- another apartment’s plumbing affecting my toilet,
- or something else inside the toilet trap/bowl.
Does anyone have experience with this? Is it possible for sewer gas to come through the toilet bowl even when the water level is stable and there is no gurgling?
I would appreciate any advice on what I should check next before removing the toilet again. What can I do now?
It kept turning to very low volume without me doing it in the “ringtone and alerts” section. Iphone 15 pro max and on ios 26.5
This has not happened before.I was talking to Chatgpt about my mother who has been insulting me and comparing me to her acquaintances’ kids, despite I told her I am already depressed and stressed about job search.
She repeatedly told me I wasted the familys time and money, that I am not good enough for the society, that because I am already not good looking I should at least be smart but I am not smart too so I am destined to fail. She also told be multiple times I am not suited for the society and continuously called me uglier or dumber than other ppls kids.
When I told Chatgpt these its response made me feel so angry and invalidated. It sounded like an incompetent school counselor saying “I get u are angry but ur parents might have good intention”.
AND this is after chatgpt knew my history of family dysfunctionalities and after I specifically told it not to paint my parents actions in a good way and still assume they “cared”. This is very disappointing.
Also regardless on whether or not the parent is simply trying to push or hurt a child, showing the child that he is only lovable when acheving a very narrow definition of success by itself proves conditional love, which is very harmful. Chatgpt probably has a whole team of psychologists working on these things, this felt unexcusable.
I asked it “Is it unlucky on a global scale for a child to be born in taiwan and china” and it threw out bunch of chinese propaganda stuffs. This was not the case before. Did the Chinese gov paid gpt to spread its propaganda?
I love this game but the ads are crazy without subscription
The game itself is awesome but too many ads destroyed its purpose.
Im looking for games that are still fun when phone is on grayscale (ideally no ads). Something like pacman or sudoku. Ideally with no ads or an option to remove add with one time payment. Games like subway surfer wont be ideal cuz its too graphic. Thank you
What can I do please help, theres no ulcer but the part is more reddish than usual and it hurts everytime when in contact with food
