Hi! I have multiple chronic illnesses, and chronic pain. I play either on switch or PC. On PC, I play with an Xbox controller. When I play any kind of "demanding" game (like Rivals), I've found that after a bit of time, the palm of my hand beneath my thumb starts to really hurt. I have ehlers-danlos syndrome, fibromyalgia, and arthritis, so it could be any of those or a combination. I've looked into other controller brands and haven't really come across anything that helps. I was hoping maybe there is something I can attach to the controller in that spot. Like maybe something padded? I'd even be willing to wear some kind of padded glove, but I haven't found any with padding in that specific spot. Also, I'm medically disabled and can't work, so anything too expensive is not feasible.

I appreciate any and all suggestions. Thank you!

I decided to try online dating 2 days ago and I now remember why I (and everyone else) hate it so much. Catfish were bad enough, but now that AI exists? 😱

Anyways, I don't want to give out my own phone number. I want to use one of the burner apps (textnow textme, textplus) but I'm trying to find one that doesn't automatically delete your number if you haven't used it in x amount of days. This isn't about privacy as far as the content of the messages or who I am calling. I simply do not want these randos on the internet knowing my actual number since my full name is attached to the account. Are there any free apps with numbers that don't expire? If not, what are the least expensive yet decent ones? I'm on android.

Thanks, and good luck out there

Signed,

I'll probably die alone, but at least I have my animals for company in the meantime 🫠
