I genuinely love my life so much!

I love my life so much. I am grateful for the opportunities I've been given, the people I've met, and the resources I've had available to me. I've gotten so far in life in the past couple of years. My life has hit a peak, and for months now it's only gotten better. Me and my wife are celebrating our 10th year anniversary in a few months, we both have gotten better paying jobs and we now have 2 dogs we love and cherish so much! I'm also happy to say I've officially been 1 year free of any social media drama, haha. I'm extremely healthy, social and fit, and still young. Can't wait for what life brings me next. I'll always be grateful to wake up another day in a life where I'm so incredibly happy and at ease.

In the graphic novel for Glory, she changes colors a lot from the queen trails. But why?

For example, on page 178, panel 5 and until page 186 (the first panel is when she's normal color again), she's a very bold and bright yellow and blue.

I am sorry if context clues were obvious, to me they weren't. I'm also a little on the older side so high school English classes have been sort of forgotten haha.

But I am curious of why she might have been these colors? Because on panel 4 she transitions into them. But also, she's wearing those colors for a while, and not really in an expressive way I feel. When she's mad, or scared, you only really see hints or portions. You know?

In another example, towards the ending when she does become queen, on page 212, she's that very bright purple with hints of yellow. Which does make sense I think? I'm not fully knowledgeable on what their colored scales exactly mean. But I sort of understand from context that she was very happy and prideful knowing she had become queen of her tribe, but I don' fully understand why she was purple and yellow.

I'm not saying this at all to hate or dislike the graphic novel, I think Tsunami and Glory's novels are the most colorful in my opinion and that's why I love them so much. That and the story too.

I am going to be rereading the chapter books too, so I don't remember if Glory's chapter book gives more information on the scales/context of her mood, but if anyone has more knowledge on it, or even any theories/ideas, I would love to hear them!

Discord Steam Details no longer showing how many games I own?

Sometime between May and July, on my connections, Discord no longer lets me display how many games I own on my Steam account. There's no toggle for it. All my Steam details are Public and have remained public since I've created my Steam account back in 2022. It would display how many games I owned on Discord just fine, before some update they pushed out where now it only showcases basic details.

Both on PC and mobile Discord there is no longer an option to toggle what I show. I can only show "Member since Aug 21st, 2022." Is this part of one of their updates?

Uber app is not taking any payments.

Hello. I'm having an issue with the app giving me errors for all payment methods. My bank is saying they're not getting any alerts from Uber themselves. Adding either debit or credit manually and with the photo option will not work. Trying to add payment via Apple Pay (adding $20 funds) also will give the same error.

The error I'm getting is "There's a Payment Issue. There was a problem processing your credit card. Try again in a moment."

For Apple Pay, I am getting this exact same thing. I'm assuming this is a bug.

I updated the app to the most recent version (vers 3.726.100003). I have offloaded the app too, then reinstalled it. I tried logging out and back in. I even tried uploading my ID but it told me I needed a teen account (I'm over 20 so I didn't finish the process lol).

From my understanding I think because of the FIFA World Cup, the app is being actively overloaded, but that's just what I'm assuming. If it's not that, this is 100% a bug. Other posts from almost 10 years ago had this same issue. I hope it's not just me, and that there's a fix. I need to get to work this morning.

EDIT: this is my first time ever using Uber. I have never had history with this company until now. I have never added my card before or made an account with them before in my lifetime.

Youtube casually letting channels of real explicit porn exist.

I'm not even sure what to say to this. Channel was found from the account commenting on Dr. Mike's most recent video (https://youtu.be/R6h\_08XKCPQ?si=gGR1NYHStpDCFb0D)

For some reason, cannot find the comment after leaving the app and coming back to the video trying to add more images... So, youtube is hiding it I assume... or it got deleted the moment I'm trying to make this post.

Any 2026 updates methods to remove VM green turtle in Oracle Virtual Box?

I have tried the following for Windows 10, Linux:

Disabled/unchecked in "Disable Windows Features"

  • Hyper-V
  • Virtual Machine Platform
  • Windows Hypervisor Platform
  • Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)
  • Windows Subsystem for Android

 

Turned off Core Isolation

Turned off Memory Integrity

Downloaded the official Device Guard and Credential Guard Hardware Readiness Tool from Microsoft

Extracted the files, right-clicked the DG_readiness_tool.ps1 script, and selected Copy as path, opened Powershell as Admin and ran the following -Disable command

Followed this video's instructions https://youtu.be/T-VU_a1J_Gc?si=b3GzjmFJuVcPIFxS

Nothing so far has removed the green turtle in Oracle Virtual Box. Anything I run, Linux, Windows, any OS or machine possible, it will have the green turtle. Methods I've found from 2025-2026 have not helped in the slightest.

Any newer and updated guides would be appreciated. Even options of third party VMs to use besides Oracle would help a ton too.

Got the first three books finally!

My wife really loves this series, she has all the current comics too, which I have read many times now. But I haven't read the first chapter books, and my wife hasn't had the actual books since she was in high school. So I decided this summer I'll buy us all the books, starting with the first three to binge read together for a couple months, and then continue buying the rest of the series along the way. I'm so excited to read these and give my opinions! And also get my wife motivated to draw dragons again after her burnout with work.

My wife got me into the show My Little Pony recently because she's rewatching it. Even my friends in college are watching it too. I really loved the character Cheese Sandwich, his episodes were great, and I wish there was more episodes about him. He's a great fit with Pinkie Pie (spoiler, but him and Pinkie Pie are married and have a kid in the very last episode of the show). My wife was telling me how much she wanted to get me the Cheese Sandwich plushie from Hasbro Studios, because his plushie is so cute! And just like that, 2 days ago, I got him and had NO IDEA I was even getting him so soon! I just wanted to share because of how happy I am. It's been a while since I've felt like a little boy receiving a new toy on Christmas Eve.

I stole my wife's glasses and put them on him haha. Last image is a silly meme. The worn down plush is Rarity.

I'm using my wife's Macbook Air to play Cult of The Lamb, a game that relies heavily on the use of a controller (Xbox or PS4, but I'm using Xbox in this case). Just hours before, on my windows laptop, the controller was working fine.

The cable is USB-C, the port on the Xbox is also USB C. Both are not physically or internally damaged, and are both fairly new and normally unused for the past college semesters (almost a full school year it's been unused).

This Macbook Air only has two USB C ports. Both support the dedicated charger. Neither will give power to the Xbox controller, which I find extremely weird and unlikely of what is deemed a powerful enough laptop.

The chip is the Apple M1

8GB memory

Macintosh HD disk (245 GB)

MacOS is Sequoia 15.6.1 (this may be out-dated. My wife hardly uses this, she let me borrow it and I'm using it currently while my friend has my current laptop).

My wife got me into the show, and she bought me my first piece of official merchandise too! Cheese Sandwich is my favorite pony. His plush form is soft, adorable and quite cheesy if I must say.

I tried both https://wallet.google/ and https://payments.google.com/gp/w/u/0/home/paymentmethods?sctid=3549600974147615. I put in my card number, my cvc, cancelled all subscriptions (which was only one and ends on the 28th, today is the 26th for me making this post). It tells me "Visa 7711 has been removed. Your selected subscriptions and services will now use Visa 7711. Any past due balanced will be charged to the new payment method."

Why is google literally refusing to remove my card?? In the last screenshot on the left bottom corner it literally shows a pop-up saying "Payment method removed" but my card still physically shows up as if it was NEVER touched!! Please help me!

Edit: This is the ONLY account in which I have the card connected to. I don't have this card saved on any other google accounts nor google associated websites.

How can I make a nice, thick milkshake with whole (NOT FROZEN) strawberries, whole milk (not 1%, 2%, skim, etc), sugar, and NO ICE CREAM. I look everywhere online, EVERYWHERE and cannot for my life find a recipe with the exact ingredients without it adding 7 more steps to the process.

Can I just use ice? No ice? A whole banana? I have a lot of bananas.

Anything, please... I have gone desperate for something that will work in favor and google search sucks, as well as youtube.
