got me put in a timeout for 15 minutes and -15 merit :)))

literally watched him turn around and then stand there in the fire and then report me and finished himself the second he was knocked :))

a random of course, not someone I know. I tried reporting him back but I doubt it will do anything. the game immediately decided I was guilty. I just hate playing with randoms. beyond a certain rank, I swear they’re all toxic.

I’m newly diagnosed as a woman in her 20’s. The more I learn about my adhd symptoms, the more I learn my adhd has ALWAYS been EXTREMELY present. The very building blocks that make me, me are just everything that makes up adhd. (could even be autistic too but idk yet) I’ve always been criticised for just about every single little thing. I’m always late, I’m “lazy” I “overreact.” I don’t “pay attention,“ I forget things. You name it, I have it and I’ve been made fun of or criticised for it prior to me knowing it was adhd. I thought I was broken for my entire life. That I was a failure of life because of it. I knew in my heart that these things weren’t fixable but I had no answers as to why I was like this.

Now I FINALLY have answers. I’m not broken. At least not in the way I thought. I’m just different and already I have noticed my mental health improving just based off that. I’m currently on a waiting list for medication so as of now, I am unmedicated.

As such, I am still myself. I have the exact same adhd struggles at the exact same intensity. That would be fine if the people around me were patient, knowing I am just different, that there’s nothing inherently wrong with me…but I’ve noticed they don’t. I mentioned my diagnosis and it’s as if I had just told them what I ate for breakfast.

I’m still being criticised. I’m still being made to feel like I’m stupid and dumb and worthless, even if they aren’t directly calling me those things. My friend who I thought would understand the most because they have adhd friends, it’s as if they don’t even believe me somehow. They even said I “didn’t seem like the type.” I don’t even know what I’m supposed to say to that! My assumption is that they only think of adhd for the quirky stuff like “oh, I have adhd so I’m super childish” not as anything that could actually genuinely debilitate you. I was forced to raise myself from a young age, so it’s like they see the fact I can be independent and assume I can’t have adhd.

I just took my iPad Pro M1 (11 inch) in to get the battery replaced. This is my first time ever getting anything repaired. I’ve got it back now and there’s damages that weren’t there before. There’s a dent at the magnet that goes along the top/side (where the pencil attaches) and my charging port is now slightly bent as well. My charger now only works in one orientation and it gets a little stuck when pulling out.

For context, there was a superficial crack on the charging port prior as well as my whole iPad having a slight bend from being sat on a few too many times. Nothing too crazy to where it no longer fit the case but noticeable when looking with one eye closed.

The bend seems to have been fixed. Not perfect but noticeably better.

I’ve also noticed the iPad getting warm in particular spots and losing charge quickly. About 18% in 40 minutes.

It’s pretty warm (the weather, and my room) so admittedly that could be why it’s warm but I’m using it just to browse right now so I’m conflicted.

Is this normal at all?

Sorry for no pics.

edit: After looking at it with a torch, the charging port isn’t bent. It looks as if the port isn’t aligned with the “hole” there anymore. Its lightly off. More room in there on one side than the other.

I'm gonna interrupt the streak of everyone showing off their shiny new iPad Pros to ask if my iPad Pro's behaviour is "standard."

I have the 11 inch M1 iPad Pro (from 2021 but purchased in 2022) and my battery health is at 77.57% with 2042 charge cycles. It has recently (today) stopped charging. Trust me, I've tried everything to fix it. I'm literally sat here right now charging my phone with the same cable I've been using on my iPad.

So the last few weeks, my iPad has been flickering the charge icon. I thought it was a faulty cable so I ignored it. I wasn't going to do anything until it stopped working. (trying to get my money worth) Until today, where it just stopped working. Or so I thought, until I tried it on my phone. That's where the panic started. I used a toothbrush briefly...that seemingly helped. It was charging fine. I let it charge a while before taking it off charge for a moment.

But when I tried to plug the charger in again, nothing. I tried toothbrushing again, my port is now shiny clean and yet will not charge.

Here's the kicker, when I turn my iPad off (as one would, to save what little battery is left) but leave the charger in, the iPad automatically turns itself on again, indicating SOME charge is going through.

It's frustrating as I can't find much information on this other than some AI overviews which reference a reddit post talking about a much OLDER iPad model than mine, one with the whacky wide charger.

So yea, is this normal? Would a replacement battery help my situation?
