I have been getting scam/spam to my personal number not my Google Voice

I have a personal irl phone number that I give out to friends, family or legit places. I also have a Google Voice number with a new email for when I know it's gonna be sketchy, or a lot of promo, or when I don't want my parents to see the messages from those places (ex: video games)

Tell me why, I have been getting scam/spam call/text/facetime to my personal number all the time and not my Google Voice? I'm literally less careful with where my Google Voice number goes...

Should I get a light alarm?

I live in Seattle for most of the year (the months where the weather is the most miserable, unfortunately) Even when I'm in a very nice and sunny place, I'd still sometimes close the alarm (watch, phone, physical etc.) in my sleep... bruh sometimes I could walk all the way to the other side of the room, do a task, all being half awake...

Also, any other suggestions? (btw I live in a dorm)

Vlog filming device help

I am thinking of filming vlogs / day in life from time to time. I currently have an iPhone 16e, and it's rather shaky when I walk, like really bad. I have all the settings on, but it's not much better.

Any suggestions on cheap alternatives? (under $150 preferred) Like a specific phone (any brand) from years ago, or a camera or smth idk. (also 1080p min)

microfridge alternatives rentals

I had two roommates last year, and we shared a 3.5 cft fridge because one of them lived like 5h drive away. It was ok, but slightly small sometimes. (The fridge part, not the freezer).

This year, I will have three roommates. I live out of state over the summer, and leave all my stuff with my aunt, so I can't really get a mini fridge. None of my roommates want to get a mini fridge. One offered to get microfridge, but it's 3.1 cft, even smaller. Now, because of the price and how it always comes with a microwave, we can't just get a second microfridge... even if the space allows it...

RENTAL because we can not deal with it afterwards

Which song might it be from? Pop, English

So a Chinese influencer teen posted a song this month, and ppl said it had copied Taylor Swift for some of the lines in terms of melody and stuff. But I find the first two lines to also be very familiar??? Yet I can't recall what it is. I think it's a male singer.

If I remember right, I think the first line of the lyric means "going one way" and the next line means "going the other way"?

I feel like this song is also in one of my playlists!

Which phone should I get for filming?

I want to get a phone for filming crafts and stuff. I have an iPhone 16e and the stabilization isn't great, along with other oddness that makes me kinda hate it for filming. After some research, I thought to get a vivo x70p+. But then ppl say it's actually a hit or miss. Since I can read Chinese, I don't mind if the phone doesn't have English. Any other suggestions? (Don't worry about if I'm able to find a seller. There's always eBay second hand.)

Requirements:
- 1080p minimum
- anti shake, stabilization, walking stabilization
- best if has wireless charging. I will be plugging in a mic via the charging port.
- no iPhone / tablet
- cheaper the better

Sweeney Todd for Halloween

I'm planning on dressing up as either Sweeney or Lovett. My face/skin can't handle makeup, so I won't do any. I'm debating who to do, since Sweeney is the more popular choice, but I'm a woman, so doing Lovett isn't that bad.

I'm so excited lol. Will post pictures once I do it fr :)

Why I write with AI

- When I write poetry, it can be hard for a reader to understand, so I get AI to read it first and give feedback.

- When I write something really long and is really invested, I start to have typo and other grammar mistakes I don't often notice. I ask AI to highlight them so I could fix it.

- I'm in a situation where doesn't matter how I would write it, I am just not satisfied, so I ask AI to help me.

I don't just use AI slop 🤗

Shared OneNote note stuck in school account verification loop

I wrote something in Microsoft Notes on my personal account on the website and I shared it with my school account.

However, when I try to open and edit this note on my school account, a pop-up that says, “For additional security, we need to verify your account, please sign in to continue” shows up.
However, because it is a school account, usually after you type in your full email it should direct you to a different page that asks you to sign in with school related credentials and direct you back to the site you were on.

But this isn't the case; it just says my account is nowhere to be found before redirect and not even redirecting me to anywhere. I also logged out of all accounts and had only one account logged in on each Chrome profile to make sure it wasn't automatically switching the profiles.

I know I could just edit with my personal account, but sometimes it's just easier with whatever situation that I want to use this in.

Help me find 2 book I read a few years ago

I read them around 2020-22. Both teen romances. One of them is a series, and the cover looks a lot like Off Campus. I think one of the girls has a younger sister and only has a mom? I hope these are not the same series lol.

Book 1: The girl plays lacrosse and she likes to keep her lac stuff to one corner of the room. The boy once went over to her place to work on a school project.

Book 2: The girl ice skates, and she goes to the rink when she's emotional or smth. The boy plays hockey. Later, they both play hockey, and there's a fight over her with another hockey boy. One of them is made Jack or smth J.

Book 3 or part of one of em? the girl ends up falling in love with a "badass" kid from another town and they met on the ice or smth but also at a relative's party. The name is Roger smth?

Strict-ish parents wrecked my social life, and now they blame me for never having close friends

I just finished uni y1, I dorm because my parents moved further (from uni) 2 years ago.

Before that:

  1. I can't leave the house alone unless it's 10min walking distance with good reason
  2. Can only hang out at/with friends very few times a year
  3. No sleepover unless it's a family member's place
  4. No phone /electronic devices in bedroom
  5. Can't be texting so much
  6. Can't stay up after 11
  7. Can't join much clubs.
  8. Have to have my apple locations turned on 24/7 with mom

Reason? I transferred schools and need to work my hardest. Well, no shit sherlock. You made us move on an avrg of 3 years and transferred schools twice in a total of 3 different counties, one of which spoke a different language altogether.

I see friends / classmates hanging out and stuff. yeah they never ask me. Same thing ish happened in elementary school, where everyone had this texting app, and I had no phone/ipad. I complained abt it years later, but my parents think it's the kids' fault for not including me. I never dared to talk abt the social life mess up now due to them tho. Oh and they complain abt me not having close friends. Well no shit sherlock again.

I can't guess what my parents are thinking and it's not good

Example 1: yesterday my dad said "you are not gonna go back alone" when I told him I can't possibly carry all that stuff back to uni (a different state where my aunt lives. Most of my collage stuff is with her but I do have a good few things I need to bring back)

I understood it as he has plans on who is going back with me. But today when I was talking about something else uni move in related with my mom, she was like "well idk so do you want/need someone to go with you? Then it affects our schedules" I said back "I thought there was a plan. Dad told me yesterday" mom was like idk and dad said "what I ment was generic, like we care about you."

Example 2: while I was talking about the thing above with mom, dad was like "if they want you to do heavy work, I won't let you sign up (for this whole event)" I said "they have xxx position" (ok I forgot the exact way I said it cuz here's what my dad said after) "you can't say it like that. That's rude. Why can't you just say, they have two different options and I pick xxx"

Like bro I see no difference 💀

Does this type of re-meltable mold just not exist?

I am looking for a type of re-meltable mold that works with PCL (the hot water melty plastic beads thingy) and polymer clay.

I did some digging, and apparently, nothing of this kind is strong enough for polymer, nor able to stand the temperature of PCL.

Am I wrong / doomed? But also if I have to get two different re meltables... fine 😭

Edit: I'm not lazy for not wanting to sculpt...

Why is this happening 😭 trying to get up on time, gets stuck in my dream

The first time I remember this happening was around April 20 of this year. (I was a first year uni student, but tbh this is likely not why I'm stuck. My sleep during that quarter was not bad.) The last/second time was today.

Story 1: I'm in my dorm, trying to get up. Every time, I would teleport (kinda like editing/shots in movies rather) to the next place. Things are ever so slightly different in chunks of repeats and drastically different between the chunks. At first, I wasn't feeling anything wrong, but towards the end, I started to realize that I can't get up irl. I even went as far as recording what's in front of me afterwards (and I would sit up with phone in the same position)

It goes like this: sit up -> outta dorm door -> interact w/ someone -> somewhere else for more interaction -> back to sit up.

Story 2: I'm stealing my mom's bed space after lunch for a nap. I see some shades of colour, assuming people, from the crack of the door. I walk out the door a few times, but some are just sit ups. I would always appear back in bed before being able to get downstairs. Then a few regular dreams get mixed in. Then back to trying to get up.

Yeah. idk how to explain it. But I would realize when it's after a few loops that I am trying to get up irl and it's failing.
