How to respond to SA triggers?

With what's been going on in the news recently and also just in normal life I come across things several times a day that trigger me in regards to SA. I don't seek these things out, sometimes it's just a news headline,a commercial or advertisement. So much of everything in the media we see is see s*xually triggering because there are so many innuendos placed everywhere.

I won't go into detail about that though

But I just got triggered by a news headline and it just makes my mind spiral out of control and I lose focus completely on what I'm doing. I feel stressed and angered and it ruins the state of calm I had.

I try my best to control the media I take in but I want to know what should I do when I see or hear a trigger to keep me calm and prevent a crashout?

Cultmys Think Only Their Fave Deserves Protection From Hackers

I had a hard time picking a flair, so plz correct me if I'm wrong.

Saw this under a video about a hacker getting 20 yrs for hacking major wealthy people in korea including jk. The original commenter just stated that non wealthy people deserve the same amount of justice instead of being ignored. Then this ensued.I honestly do believe there is some kind of witchery or something going on to make people this deranged. They think everything revolves around the group and kpop....

Issue w/ HardDrive not being recognized + Can't boot EliteBook 845 G8 Notebook

Has anyone else has this issue? I did a quick check and it's saying it does not see a Harddtrive/SSD.

However I've been using this laptop fine for 6 months. It worked fine 2 days ago. I tried resetting bios settings, fixing time and date, holding down win+v+power for 30 seconds. But still nothing. I didn't drop the laptop or anything.

My next thing to try is opening it up a reseating the ssd. Just need to find some tools to do so.

Is this a common issue or has anyone else has this issue with this model?

Edit:

Opened the laptop and found a random extra retention clip laying on the ssd. I wonder if this was causing some kind of short circuit or something. The SSD itself was not loose and I did not take it out to reseat it because the screw was too tight and I didn't want to strip it. Currently charging the laptop and will try rebooting soon. we'll update when I get to that point.

Final update:

It worked!

Recs for korean pharmacy skincare products?

I'm currently in Korea and want to check out a pharmacy instead of just places like olive young. Are there any holy grail products you can recommend that are known to be sold at pharmacy specifically?

My main issues are uneven skin tone, some dryness, and hyperpigmentation.

I plan to visit medikingdom in yongsan.

Kakao Taxi No Foreigners?

I was able to use kakao taxi last year with my foreign credit card. But this year when i go to sign up with kakao account and Korean phone number, it asks me for a birth date that looks like a Korean ID number. Is there a way around this, or do I have to try and use k ride? Or should I try signing up with my foreign phone number?

Is Columbus doing anything for the World Cup

This is the biggest sporting event in the world. Bigger than the Olympics and it seems like everyone is just sleeping on it. No watch parties no events? Does anyone know if there will be anything going on here that I can go to?

America had 4 years to prepare for this, but it seems like no one cares about this sport as expected

Any dog groomers that allow muzzling?

Want to take my dog to get nails trimmed but local places (petco, petsmart, etc) don't allow muzzles. He's has his nails clipped before at the vet, but I'm not sure if he was still muzzled then or not because they had him out of view from me.

This is too protect the groomer. He's a small dog, but he's very anxious and afraid and I don't want him to bite anyone. I only use the basket type muzzle and it would only be on him for like 5 minutes to clip his nails.

Suggestions?

Can people please stop riding bikes and escooters on the road AT NIGHT. No one can see you until we get right up on you and we have to serve to go around.

Also all of you that like to ride or walk the bike trail, you need to STOP and push the light before you come jetting out into the road. The cars don't have time to stop . And you do not have right of way.

I'm so tired of this happening, the city needs to invest in actual bike lines or side walks. It's just a matter of time before some one riding at night gets run over.

This will be my first time in my life on bc. I'm taking it for my bad periods and hormonal migraines that I've suffered through all of my 20s (I'm 30). I just finally had enough. I've been avoiding bc for so long because I'm worried about the cancer risk (my medication actually says it "may increase risk of cancer"). But, I also am tired of the terrible torture every 2.5 weeks with my period.

Other than that risk, I'm worried about how it may change my body too and side effects. I just have a feeling that by doing this I'm reaching a pivotal part in my life that I can't return back too once I start. I don't want to get some random side effect (e.g. malasma) from it that will never go away even after stopping. Can anyone provide reassurance? I'm just really nervous.

Does anyone know how much it costs to use the courts at Cooper Creek? Or, I heard they have one of those things where it shoots the ball at you, how much do those cost?

And side note, I'm still upset to this day they got rid of the batting cages out by the old gymnastics unlimited. We could use some getting cages at some of these parks, it would be the perfect way to spend time alone. Come on Columbus!
