So I'm a stubborn cow when it comes to technology and I use a brand of earbuds called Skullcandy with my Samsung Galaxy A32. Said earbuds have this button on the left cord (it also pauses YouTube videos if you click it). But when I hold the button down, Google Gemini activates and starts taking voice commands (even when I haven't unlocked the phone), and this problem is especially annoying when I'm trying to put my phone at rest and the button gets weighed down. How can I disable Gemini from activating when I hold this button? I tried some searching but this is such a brand-specific problem that I don't think I can find an answer from anywhere that doesn't have personal experience.

As an incredibly quick overview since this is my first post here, I was diagnosed at age 4 but lived with very supportive parents. Partly because of this, I'd say I had an easier autism spectrum experience, but still not without issues (mainly having to do with a lack of focus due to comorbid ADHD, not understanding the experiences of others, and academic burnout). I did have some sensory problems when I was younger, but they always had to do with things like clothes.

Anyway, after heading back to college last summer, I noticed that I had become (in my eyes) overweight and was self-conscious about it (and still am today). I really like food, but I tend to be modest for the first half of the day before grazing later. Thinking about it now, the medicine I take lasts for 8 hours, and the time at which I start grazing is around the time at which my medicine wears off.

Sometimes, I don't really want to eat, but I can't satisfy the sensation of having a texture and flavor in my mouth any other way. The two closest options have been gum and ice, but gum has a deteriorating flavor and an eventually unpleasant texture (plus I can't take it everywhere) and ice is hard to get away from home. And the way I keep having to feed into it almost feels like stimming.

Has anyone else had an experience like this? Any advice on what I can do to ease this?

I've written a script for the pilot of a passion project series (intended to last for around 22 minutes), and I'm looking to hire at least two people of color and any extras willing to read for a storyboarded version. The project, while not going in depth on explicit material, is still meant only for people 18+. My current plan is to pay 10 dollars per minute of usable audio, which will be given to you through PayPal, but if you make a good case for me to pay you more, I will oblige. The people of color that I need and estimates of how long the recordings would be are:

• [EDIT: The following role has been taken] A male who can do a convincing Morgan Freeman impression (for between 3 and 4 minutes of audio)
• [EDIT: The following role is also taken] A male who can convincingly play a college senior (for around 2 minutes of audio, could be played by the same person as in the previous bullet)
• A female who can do a sultry but still comforting voice (for around 5 minutes of audio)

In addition, anyone is welcome to join as an extra, and I can assign you a role based on what I feel you can perform.
