i don't remember what my ssd is

basically the title. i would give all of my specs, but as you can see, my monitor won't turn on. i tried making sure everything was plugged in properly, and then when i went to try and turn it back on afterward, my monitor just... didn't light up. at all.

is there anything i can do to force it back on so i can try and figure out what's going on?

so i don't have a lot of acne issues on my face, but my BACK is a different story. i get almost cystic-like acne back there. hydrocolloid patches are wonderful for them, but the only issue i have is that they're way too small and when i try to put them on my back i have to use 2 or 3 patches because i either miss the spot the first time or the acne is just too big.

i can't just buy any pimple patches or hydrocolloid roll, i HAVE to know the ingredients. i have a condition called mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS for short), and it causes me to have a lot of allergic reactions to weird things. a good example would be benzoyl peroxide. it's extremely common in acne reducing treatments, but i'm allergic to it and can't use anything with it.

i currently use hanhoo's extra strength pimple patches for any acne, and i've been getting buy with their t-zone patches for my back as the ones for the nose are much larger and cover each acne spot on my back very well.

i wanted to buy a hydrocolloid roll on amazon, but the issue is NONE OF THEM HAVE INGREDIENTS LISTED!!! i can't have anything with fragrances/masking fragrances, essential oils, anything derived from the sunflower family, or dyes. and more, but they're oddly specific so i won't list them. the hanhoo patches i use are just hydrocolloid and salcylic acid. if anyone on here knows of a hydrocolloid roll with just those two ingredients or even just hydrocolloid in it, please let me know! my bacne is driving me up the wall...

so i recently moved into a 3 story apartment, i'm on floor 2. there's a family with at least 1 kid above me, and originally i thought the kid was just hyperactive, because i hear pounding on the floor almost all hours of the daytime. i thought they were maybe just running around or something. but over recent days, i've started to hear screaming and sobbing in succession WITH the pounding. the screams don't sound excited either, they sound like scared screams. the other day i thought i heard the kid go "i'm sorry, i'm sorry" while sobbing.

i have a history of being abused myself, but my experiences were mainly emotional abuse and manipulation, not physical abuse. i don't have any history with services like CPS, but i haven't heard many good things about them, and i don't know if the kid would be safe with them.

so my question is: what should i do to possibly help the kid? do i leave an anonymous report to CPS? or is there something better that i can do that would give the kid a better chance at being safe? any suggestions are appreciated 🙏

so i've eaten shellfish my entire life. like since i was 3 years old. it's one of my favorite foods. but last year, all of a sudden, i got REALLY sick of some crab. i didn't vomit or anything, but i was EXTREMELY nauseous, had heart palpitations, was sweating, and had really bad diarrhea for about an hour until the benadryl i took kicked in for my nausea. i thought it was just food poisoning, but a few months later i had a shrimp salad and the same exact thing happened. so i'm convinced it's my MCAS telling me it doesn't like shellfish.

i saw someone somewhere talk about xolair for food allergies and how i might be able to get shellfish back if i started taking it. but i have a couple questions regarding that statement and the medicine itself.

1. does it help with food sensitivities/intolerances in addition to food allergies? i had both a food sensitivity and a food allergy test done and shellfish didn't show up in either of them. but i know i have a pretty extreme intolerance to it. i know shellfish is high histamine, but i don't know if xolair would help with that...

2. since xolair is a biologic, is there anyone here that takes it that has insurance that covers most of if not all the cost of it? if so, what insurance is it? (if you're comfortable mentioning it. feel free to skip this if you feel uneasy)

3. does anybody here know of any interactions it has with medications that are commonly used for MCAS and POTS? (like cromolyn sodium, corlanor, midodrine, pepcid, claritin, etc.) i take a ton of different ones but wasn't able to find much online.

thanks in advance ♡

edit: i also haven't ever tried a DAO supplement, if that's something that helps with context. do you guys think that would help with my intolerance?

i'm mainly a tenshi kaiwai/mizuiro and fairy kei girl, but i ADORE white/blue jirai-style coords and i've wanted to try them out for a long time. the issue is, i know makeup is a vital part of jirai. i have a condition called mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) that gives me allergies to fragrances, mica, anything stemming from the sunflower family (compositae), most dyes, and titanium dioxide. there is practically no makeup out there that doesn't have at least one of those things in it. really the only thing that's completely safe for me is certain types of black eyeliner and mascara.

i also know bangs are a huge thing in jirai. i have a sideswept pixie cut, so... that wouldn't work.

my main question is- could i wear jirai coords without having these 2 aspects, as long as i don't claim to be jirai? or would that be considered offensive to the history + origin of jirai kei?

please be nice 🥹 and thank you for any answers in advance!

so i used forwardbuy to buy something off of carousell singapore. i have no clue how long shipping takes for them, but i bought this item nearly 10 days ago and it still has not arrived at their warehouse. are singapore shipping services just slow? or is there an issue here i should be concerned about?

so i looked on google and it said the mega night market was open until 11 (on their site) at the win! derby, but we can NOT figure out where it is! we drove all around the parking lot and we did not see ANY active food trucks. is it open every saturday and sunday? and if it is, where do they even hold it? is it inside the derby building? is it out in a parking lot somewhere we didn't see? or is it only open on certain holidays and not every weekend? please help!

so i ordered a can badge off of hong kong mercari. my order was made through mercari, so even though buyee is responsible for the parcel, i can't view the order in buyee, only in mercari. after it goes to the buyee warehouse in japan, it's getting shipped to a hong kong warehouse i have on a website called tiptrans, and then once it gets there, it's (hopefully) coming to me, in the U.S. my main question is- will i get the tracking number once buyee ships it to the warehouse? or should i have gotten one already? i placed the order about 24 hours ago and i got an email saying the order was completed, but there's no information about tracking anywhere. not even a place for tracking history. should i be concerned?
