hello all, i'm a 20 y.o female and i'm currently studying to become an emt. my family has a lot of financial issues and i'm really big on gaining as much experience and certifications not only to juice up my resume and to make connections, but to also gain life experience. i also really value flexibility, because i like to keep myself busy with many different things.

i also run a small business with my sibling and i work a pt job at a bakery at the moment. i intend to continue working with my sibling for as long as possible, but i want to quit my bakery job once i'm done with school and i become an emt.

i've always considered active duty for the benefits, but i can't commit to it due to my personal life. is the reserves a good choice to gain experience and benefits? i know that the paychecks are pocket change which is why i don't mention it.

furthermore with my emt-b cert, would that help with getting in the door as a medic in either active duty or the reserves?

any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

i've recently been digging into bony to beastly's articles and have been loving the information and topics they write up on. most importantly, i agree with their values of clean eating to slow gain weight and muscle with a fitness plan that is backed up with scientific evidence. i was wondering if anyone has a bulking meal routine that is set up based on their writings? how many times do you eat? ideally, i'd like to set specific times every day to eat specific meals. any advice would be appreciated including workout schedules, thank you!

hello furries, i have been into furry culture ever since i was a kid, but i've never really directly interacted with the community until now. i've always wanted a proper fursona/sona and i was always into wolves, but i've been wanting a pallas cat sona these days. i was wondering what were some things you guys did to figure out how what to add to your fursona and what inspired you to do so? any advice would be greatly appreciated. thank you! :-)

Hello all! I'm a fairly recent owner of my Lenovo Legion 7 16IAX10 and it's my first time owning such a beastly driver besides my Victus 15L desktop which I'm a noob at owning both. I was wondering what are simple things I can do to preserve and optimize my laptop's hardware and software? I've heard horror stories of RAM melting and I've only recently learned that people cap their battery charging at 80%? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

I was able to scrounge up some old laptops: Toshiba M645-S4070, Asus L210m, HP Mini 110, HP 2000-2D60DX, and a Dell Inspirion. I'm a complete beginner when it comes to self hosting, but my main goals are to use Jellyfin for movies, anime, and TV shows, Navidrome for music, and setting up a minecraft server. I also want to set up Immich somewhere down the line. Which laptop should I use to host my own server and what are some tips and guides for complete beginners? I'm vaguely familar with the terms reverse-proxy and I'm aware of the existence of Caddy, Tailscale, etc. I also find Docker interesting, but I don't know how to use/utilize them. Any advice is greatly appreciate, thank you!

hello all, i'm a complete beginner and noob in the linux scene but i've been very curious about it for quite some time. i was planning on going the dualboot route, but i don't believe i'm experienced/knowledgeable enough to protect my data on a single drive (i don't even know how to properly back up my files, please don't yell at me... 😅). i saw that a virtual machine was a good, safe way to run linux, moreso test and play around with it but i don't know how.

i apologize for my noobiness, but i'm not well versed in all the technicalities of computers despite being in love with them. if there are any beginner, beginner resources y'all could point me to in growing my foundational knowledge, that would be very much appreciated as well. thank you so much!

i'm 20 and the person i love is 27. i try my best find ways to self improve every day and i'm able to progress towards my own goals no matter how small they are (ex. taking a shower, brushing teeth). we both suffer from depression and anxiety but i'm now taking medication to combat it. i'm in and out of jobs due to my family and personal situation but i have a plan moving forward these days in furthering my education and pursuing different occupations. the person i love lives in southeast asia while i live in the states. they have been out of a job since they graduated college and have been a hikkimori since then. we are online friends and we used to online date, but now we are back to be being really close friends that talk every day for most of the day. they are the only friend i really talk to which i'm okay with. relationships with people besides my family have never really been something i try too hard at. i try my best every day to be supportive but nothing i do seems to beat their anxiety. i don't blame them. i deal with my mental health every day as well and i'm just worried how this will affect mine in the long run. i want to be there for them every step of the way but how do i also live my life while doing that? what do i? how can i help them if their anxiety tells them they don't want to try to be better anymore?

tldr: the person i love's mental health leads them to believe they don't want to get better. what do i do to help them?
