Don’t know if this is the right place to post, but I will start here. Anyone who might know where I should post this to please point me there.
In December 2023, my mother rehomed my then 5 year old female cat named Princess. She is a tortishell with green eyes. She was last known to be in the home of a person living in a Mobile Home park a few minutes away from “The Rink” and the Drive In movies. Right by the train tracks. I am not looking to tale her back, just to make sure she is okay and get some closure as I had no say in her rehoming.
Again, feel free to point me somewhere else to post this, but I figured I would start here.

I dunno what this tag falls under, so I am going to do my best.
I have a secondhand HP laptop model 15 2020 Touchscreen. It was from my sister and I got it around 2023. She originally bought it for College, but she upgraded around that time. I have been using it on and off since then. The hinge covers broke last year and Duct Tape has been holding those on. I will add that she did NOT wipe the computer because she wanted me to be able to play Minecraft on it. I have used it a lot more recently as I began to get into playing games.
It overheats. It has burned my legs and I have had to clean the fans 3 times since getting it. It sounds like an airplane. And the touchpad has been acting up the past few months (registering multiple fingers when theres just one, glitching across the screen) and is prone to freezing
Today I decided to finally do a reset. There was nothing major I had on it that I couldn’t access elsewhere, and my sister’s reason for letting me have it had long since glitched into deletion.
It has taken an hour to reset, and I am scared. My dad had previously told me that this was likely the only thing aside from getting a new one, that would fix my issues.
He also told me that it might break my computer forever.

What is the typical longevity of these laptops?

I was playing a game on my phone and watching a Youtube video about 2 hours ago. I had the remote across the bed when an ad popped up. I reach over and grab it, click NEXT. I set the remote on the right next to my body. The next ad pops up. I go to grab the Roku remote. Its not there. I then proceed to:
One: Tear apart my bed. Sheet came off, all pillows off, blankets shook out
Two: Pull out my bed. It is moved 4 feet from the wall. I sweep. I vacuum while I am there. No remote. I tear up the floor by my bed. I hadn’t heard a clatter to the floor but I still check. No remote
Three: Start losing my mind. If its not ANYWHERE on or by my bed, then where the fuck COULD it be?!
Yes, I checked my pockets, yes, I retraced my steps, YES I check under my bed over 12 times. My bed had absolutely NOTHING on it twice.
NO REMOTE.
I don’t have the damn fancy Roku Remote that has a Locate feature. I don’t have a backup remote. I can use my phone, but I can’t play games and use it at the same time.
I’m so done. I am legitimately losing my mind. There is nowhere it can be.
Just to prove my point: when writing this post I had to swap over to the Roku app THREE TIMES just to skip ads.

My cat (male neutered, 17) has been in my life for almost all of those 17 years he has been alive. He came to my grandparents 6 months before I was born as a kitten. I am explaining this so you may understand the situation I have been placed in. I am autistic, and very sensitive to animals, cats especially. I have never know life without some sort of cat in my life.
My parents are different. I believe that cats should go to the vet just as often as dogs. They believe that animals are just fine without a vet. My elderly cat has not had ANY type of shot or vaccine in at LEAST eight years. I have asked. My father claims that he doesn’t need it because he is an indoor cat.
Heres my real issue. My cat is sick. This started about 5-6 months ago, when I noticed he was struggling to chew his kibble and would leave bits all around my room. He also started drooling around this time.
About 2 months ago I noticed he has been rapidly losing weight. He was never a large cat, he must’ve weighed at his maximum 12-13 pounds. I haven’t weighed him. But my mom’s cat, who is 9.7 pounds, is noticeably heavier than him now.
Next is the vomiting. I have noticed that right after he drinks water or tries to go to the bathroom, he will vomit up bile. He then licks his mouth and it sounds like he is chewing on sand.
He has also become much weaker in the last few weeks. When he gets up to walk his hind legs tremble and shake like they can hardly hold him up. I can feel every bone in his body. No matter how much I try to get him to eat, he barely will touch his food and will instead scatter it all over my (carpeted) room.
When he goes to use the litterbox, he crouches and hold his tail in a way that indicates his bum is in pain. He yowls and cries in a way I have never heard before.
It genuinely breaks my heart to see him like this, knowing that if he had access to a vet years ago would have probably caught these issues ages ago.
My father has FINALLY, today, decided that something is slightly pff and has decided to go out and buy him senior food, plus he is thinking about Pedialyte to help him rehydrate.
Is he suffering too much? Can he recover? I am not ready to lose him after losing my other cat last Christmas. I need professional opinions to help me understand.
Is it too late for him to recover?

I don’t know if the question makes sense, but I am playing through this game and the amount of times Lillie heals up your entire party without making a big deal out of it is catching me off guard. I know she is not a trainer, but how does she do that? Does she have some sort of ability that allows her to heal your team? Or is this just a game mechanic for simplicity? Again I don’t know if this makes sense, but I don’t understand how random NPC’s can heal your entire team. I 100% understand that it is probably just game mechanics lol but I wanted to ask just in case there’s some sort of plot reason I might’ve missed.

My mom was diagnosed with endometriosis shortly after I was born at the age of 29/30. She had a complete hysterectomy after I was born and felt better.
I grew up with horror stories of the pain she went through because no one believed and the things she resorted to the manage the pain.
Both her and my older sister were on BC to manage period pain for years. My mom obviously stopped after me, and I don’t know when my sister did. I was put on the Depo shot due to mild pain on my periods. However, I have always been way more sensitive to pain than others in my family.
My concern is my chances of developing Endometriosis as I age. I am a teenager now, but I do know it mainly starts in early/mid 20s. I never plan on having children (whole other story involving genetic mental issues I was given and don’t want to pass on)
My question is what is the best route? Can you test early? Or is there a way to know 100% if you will develop Endometriosis in the future? Sorry if this sounds stupid, these questions have been roaming my head for years now.

Trying to get all possible eeveelutions in Omega Ruby. Got Sylveon the easiest. Working on Espeon and Umbreon. Trying to increase happiness, and the lady in Verdanturf town says the line that indicates 100-149 happiness. I just took my level 21 Eevee into battle and got the line “Eevee seems a bit excited!”
Looking this up, it seems to all point to evolution, but he leveled up and no Espeon, which makes sense for happiness level.
What do these texts mean? Am I just a bit slow?

Playing an emulator rn and hunting for Ralts on Route 102. About an HOUR in now, and besides the Ralts that Wally catches, I have seen nothing. Is this just a major case of bad luck, or is Ralts not on route 102 like Google says she is?
Update: NEVER MIND she decided to appear RIGHT AFTER posting this

Sorry if title is confusing. I (15m) got a 50$ Hobby Lobby gift card last year for my birthday. I had been into crafts at that point and Hobby Lobby would have been great. HOWEVER, I never ended up going and drifted away from that particular craft about 6 months ago. About 3 months ago, I got really into Pokemon cards and the games. I don’t have much cash like ever because most of my family don’t like to give cash and instead give gifts. To be honest, I don’t even REMEMBER who gave me this card. I feel like it will just lie in my room for the rest of time, but by exchanging it for cash it would be used on something I enjoy. I have always enjoyed Pokemon, but only recently was able to invest in any cards. My parents told me it would be a “jerk move” to cash in a gift card instead of using it at the store intended. I don’t believe I would. It has been over a year since I got the card and since I don’t remember who gave it to me, I doubt whoever did does as well. My mindset is that “the money will go to waste in this card. I can use this money on something I actually have interest in at the moment” I have autism and struggle seeing others point of view on things. Any advice or insight would be appreciated. I am probably going to cash in the gift card but I just want feedback from unbiased individuals.
