I have acquired my cousins old Xbox 360 after it sat in my grandparents house for over a decade. I don’t want to throw it out, but in the state it’s in now it’s trash. Besides its abhorrent condition, when I took it to the shop they only found one problem: the disk reader (now fixed) would come out, but no longer reads disks. I was recommended to mod it, but I don’t know how to do that, where to start, or even where to look. So, what do you think can be done to this, or what should be done? Also where to look to learn about modding. If I need to give more information I might be able to because I have all of the original papers that it came with.

More about this Xbox- I don’t know how the Xbox broke, but I do remember when my cousin broke it. What probably happened is he threw the Xbox on the ground, or he slammed it against a box tv. The plastic on the outside is cracked, and there’s something rolling around in the inside (probably plastic since some fell out earlier). The guy at GameStop said it was “in the worst condition” he has ever seen one, but works for the most part. I don’t have controllers (yet), so I can’t see anything about it when hooking it in to my TV besides it works, and I only know it does not read games for sure is because I got the disk drive realigned and it assessed. The power box is in pretty much perfect shape because he didn’t have it long before he broke it.

Then when I was rightfully weirded out by this take she said “my dogs safety > your feelings”. Girl… you have a standard poodle and wouldn’t know the difference between an American bully and a pit bull if it hit you in the face, that take also is a self admit you have no experience with a bully breed so how do you know. She also said that I must be from the suburbs because I said 90% of people should just get a shelter dog (because you can a well tempered bully mix or lab mix is what most people are looking for and I for one know the MEMPHIS area is full of them), which is hilariously because how are you just going to stay away from and entire LOOK of dog and live in a city. I understand that Pitties were largely originally bred for dog fighting, and tend to be dog aggressive, but if a person walks up to you with their bully in a leash and ask to greet your dog and you say know “because they are a pit bull” your going to have a hard time finding friends for you. And these people do not feel the same way about Rottweilers, Dobermans, Malinois, Kane etc. Bully breeds are the most abused and euthanized type of dog by no contest, and while yes it is sometimes behavioral it’s usually not even their fault they are just animals. And before I here about “..well dog attacks..” those are self reports and like I said people would not know the difference between a Pitt Bull and a Staffordshire Terrier if it shot them in the head. She then called all bully breeds and dogs left in shelters “undesirable bullies and the most reactive dogs you’ve ever met”, this is how I know she does work with real rescues and real dogs and I have wasted my thumbs but had a great time doing it!

Edit: She posted this weird rescue video too

There’s nothing wrong with being nonbinary I’m just not, and I live in TN so looking trans is one of the worst ways to look. I would rather people just misgender me with she/her pronouns rather than the they/them or like the she switch to them. I first came out at trans in 2019, I started socially transitioning in 2021, and I’ve been on T since 2022. This is honestly the most I’ve been misgendered by strangers since even before I came out, and it’s in just a weird way too. I would rather be seen as a woman than as transgender because it is not safe to be trans and it sucks. I know I need to cut my hair, and work out, I’m getting a haircut soon and I used to work out but with all of life I barely have time to eat much less work out. Anyways if you know how to help I’d appreciate it I just think I’ve about had it with the constant assumption I am and want to be gender nonconforming. I’m not I never wanted to be trans I just wanted to be normal, but no one treats me like I’m normal once they find out I’m trans and it’s sucks.
