I'll be starting at Clearfield in a few weeks, what do I need to bring? What is the dorm life like? I'll have three other roomates - how does that work out? I'd like to get an idea of what to expect before I start so I can be prepared.

Adblockers don't work (I tried), and they can't really be closed either. You can close the tab, but it opens back up about 10 seconds later. This repeats over and over until you give up and just leave it open.

And the dumb part is that the ads aren't even relevant to anything. They're all just asking you to get c.ai+, and it uses a SUPER annoying bright blue so it stands out against the black background. It doesn't actually promote anything outside of the company itself. It's distracting. At least the mobile app version doesn't interfere with anything and actually shows ads for other games.

I'm about to start in a few weeks, and I want to know if I'm getting anything out of this aside from my trades. I know about our allowances, but how does that work? Is it checks, cash, or direct deposit?

How about when you graduate or complete a trade? I'm going for three trades, and I'm graduating from high school next week. Does that affect anything?

Is it bad that I’m upset about this? When I asked why, they told me that it’s to save time and keep the ceremony short, but that seems a little insulting for some reason. Why can’t I have my moment, even if it’s just for five seconds? I don’t really have much to say about it, it’s just irritating me for some reason.

I read this book when I was little, and I cannot for the life of me remember the name of it. There were these two girls, and I think one of their neighbors was moving away. One of the friends is “running away,” but not permanently, she just wants to see if she can get away with it for the one night.

They snuck the house pretending to be granddaughters to this random old couple, and once they were inside the model house, they hid under the bed in the master bedroom until it closed, where they proceeded to spend the night there. While under the bed, they do get spotted by a boy, but nobody believes him. They only had food like candy and cake with them, and at some point in the book, one of the girls snuck home because she didn’t wanna be there anymore while the other friend stayed at the house. They get a fight about this, and that’s all I can remember.

Including fathers.. on mother’s day.. Make it make sense. Apparently Father’s day isn’t enough for them? God forbid men aren’t the center of attention for one day.

Anyways, happy mother’s day to all the mamas out there. ❤️

I’m getting ready to start my trades in Utah, but I’m not sure what I need to bring. I have a Chromebook that’s pretty old but still works, but I found a windows computer on amazon for $370 that I want to upgrade to.

Depending on the workload, will I NEED to buy it? Or will a Chromebook work fine? My trades are more focused on IT and stuff, so I don’t know if an old Chromebook will be good enough. I don’t have much money since I’m about to graduate high school and quit my job last month since they were being shady with my paychecks. I want to buy a new one, but I know I need to save my money, so I’d appreciate some advice.

We’re not sure who’s doing it, but we keep finding at least 5-7 butts on our yard DAILY. Is there anything that could be done? Because aside from gathering all of them and throwing them back onto THEIR yard with a “return to sender” note, I can’t think of any other options.

Edit, I need to add that the grass in our yard is dead and dry, so every time they do this, they might start a fire. Then what?

I’ve been having this issue a lot, and now it’s starting to piss me off.

I play CROB almost daily and grind out in guild runs and whatnot, but every time I join a guild, within 24 hours I get kicked from it. The first time was because I was allegedly “inactive” from the game for more than a month, which was a lie because I had been online and playing the night before. The second time, my level was too low, which is valid, I’m a very late player and my level is only 156. The third time, which was just now, the leader said I wasn’t participating in the guild runs, which was another lie. I wasn’t “participating” because they were refusing to start one. Multiple other players and I kept requesting the guild leader to start one, but instead of doing that, they kicked me instead.

Should I just make my own guild? Every time I get kicked, it puts me on a 24 hour limit from joining a new one, and I genuinely don’t know what I’m doing wrong, but this is so annoying. Anyone else having this issue?

A toxic ex friend of mine has been gunning for me at school ever since I cut her off and blocked her back in March. I have no interest in reconciling with her, as I’ve actually been doing a lot better ever since I dropped her. However, it’s been nearly two months now, and this girl still hasn’t gotten over it, and that’s how I discovered she has a HUGE victim mentality.

I won’t talk to her, and because of that, she’s been doing everything she can think of to get me to lose my shit and fight her so she can get me in trouble. However, I won’t give her the satisfaction, and yesterday, she started getting physical. It started with shoulder checking me, and I decided to get the school involved after that. I was hoping she’d pull her head out of her ass, but apparently she still needs to learn that her actions have consequences.

Anyways, I reported her, provided screenshots of our blowout, she got yelled at, blah blah blah. Shortly after, I can hear her SCREAMING at people, telling them about how much of a bitch I am, that I’m making drama out of nothing, I’m crazy, I’m a cunt, etc,. The bitch is MAD.

But weird, it’s like.. if you starting getting physical with people.. they’re gonna stop tolerating your bulllshit!! Huh, weird.

And the wild part? There’s only two weeks left until we graduate. All she had to do was shut the fuck up and keep to herself, but guys!! She’s innocent every single time, it’s just my fault that I held my ground and didn’t go crawling back to her!

Get a life.

TL/DR, I broke things off with her after I got tired of her shit, weeks later she’s still trying to trigger me.

So for context, I met her about a year ago during my junior year when I moved and transferred to a new high school. I’m an introvert, and she was the only one who’d talk to me, so naturally, we clicked. We’re now about to graduate, and I met my boyfriend through her.

Very important thing to note here: She and my boyfriend used to date. They lasted about four months, but then he broke up with her because she would constantly need attention from him, and it was causing him to fall behind on his classes. Along with that, she was always talking down to him, like calling him a dog just because he was clingy, and seemed to only be in the relationship for the sex, which he didn’t want any part of. A few months later in January, she suspected that he was crushing on me, we started flirting, and about a week later, we were official.

Things were fine at first, but then it started getting weird. She was constantly making sex jokes about him and I, which was beyond weird and flat out uncomfortable because neither of us have any interest in that. We’ve told her this multiple times, but she’d just laugh and keep doing it, especially to me.

The more she did it, the more I started to distance myself. I know that sounds like an asshole move on my part, but I’d gotten tired of telling her to cut the shit, and I came to the conclusion that if she wouldn’t stop, the only way she’d understand was if I slowly started ending things with her. This was how I found out the hard way that she has a HUGE victim mentality.

In addition to that, at some point, my boyfriend pulled me aside and said that she was talking smack about me to him, calling me “abusive” (Which first off, wtf?) and that I wasn’t a good person. I never brought this up to her because I didn’t want to start drama (she’s extremely emotional and is quick to overreact), so I just started avoiding her completely, but she came at me anyways.

So I’m at work, and she suddenly blows up my phone, saying I’m being bitchy and that I need to explain myself by 9pm or she’s blocking me. That alone made me want to lose my shit, but by then, I figured out that she’d been fishing for reactions, so I kept it calm and collected when I replied to her after I got off the clock. To keep it short, I basically told her that I didn’t appreciate how she was treating me, and that I hadn’t said anything for all those weeks because I knew she was going to overreact.

I basically told her that I would like to stay friends with her if she wanted to have an actual conversation without threatening me with getting blocked, and that I wanted her to understand my point of view. Her response was to take everything I said, and use it as a way to validate everything she was doing. There was not a single apology from her, and she ended her rant with “Have a great life, I hope you can fix your shit eventually :3”. (Direct quote). It made it pretty obvious that she didn’t actually care to talk things out, she was just trying to get me to lose my shit.

So with that, I ended the conversation with “And that’s fine. You’re more than welcome to block me if that’s your best course of action. If you’d like to have another conversation about this at school, let me know.” before I blocked her, because by that point, I was done trying to salvage things with her.

Fast forward about two months, and she’s still trying to start shit with me. If I’m in the same room as her, she talks shit about me and my boyfriend to anyone who will listen. She’s not subtle about it, and if she’s not talking shit, she’s staring me down like I grew three heads. We only have one class together, but we ignore each other, and she doesn’t sit with us at lunch anymore.

Neither of us have said anything to each other ever since I blocked her. I have no intention of salvaging things with her, because I’ve been doing a lot better ever since, and I don’t need her bullshit back in my life. I even told my boyfriend that if I go the rest of my life without talking to her again, I’d be more than happy with that.

So why the hell is she still trying to antagonize me? My boyfriend and I have this inside joke that she wants him back and I’m in the way of that, but she hasn’t spoken to him either, and he doesn’t want anything to do with her. I’m assuming she’s trying to get me to flip shit so she can play the victim again?? Because I genuinely have no idea what her problem is. The girl is obsessed.

I have no idea if I’m doing something wrong, but I cannot for the life of me get the damn clay to stay where it is on the wheel.

I mold the clay into a ball and slam it on the dry wheel (I never get it wet unless cleaning), but once I get my hands wet to center it and press into the clay, it sticks to my hand and slows down, which somehow un-sucks it from the wheel since they’re now spinning at different speeds, if that makes sense. And it doesn’t matter how many times I pull back and re-wet my hands, the same thing keeps happening.

I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, and I’m about to lose my shit. I’m not pressing too hard, and the wheel is bone dry every time, so I don’t understand what the problem is.
