hi. i’m wanting to transfer to the uw for the 27-28 school year after i have my associate degree. yesterday, i ate so much free food at my current school and i was wondering if you guys also got it like i do? i feel like i eat free lunch at least twice a week, and it’s definitely more at the end of the year. yesterday i got 4 cookies, horchata, a piece of costco cake, oreos and cheetos, lots of cheese and crackers and 2 mini sandwiches.

hi. so i am very much a person that wants to be inclusive and welcoming of everyone and i have a lot of friends who share different opinions as me. i am soon having a party in which i will invite basically everyone i know, most of these people are in clubs i am in at school. a lot of them are graduating this year, and some of them i’ve recently sorta became friends with so i want to invite them to my party. and im thinking ill also invite the people i dont really know in the clubs because they know people im inviting, for example those in astronomy club are typically in stem fields so even tho i would only consider myself friends with 2 people in astronomy club, they are all friends with each other and hang out in the stem room. i do not want to exclude anyone…unless i have an explicit issue with them.

so here is the issue: there is one person in a club i am in that i do not get along with and have issues with. other people who i would consider my friends have literally left the club to avoid her. she’s just one of those people. however, she considers me her friend. she makes fun of me and insults me and my relationship (while i was in one). then she laughs extremely loudly about it like it’s funny. i guess she supposedly joking but i don’t think anyone else laughs when she insults me like that. anyways, definitely not the vibe i want at my party. yes i am excluding her. but i feel like, she doesn’t deserve to be included. i support giving second chances, sometimes people say things they dont mean, but i’ve known her for over a year now and it’s just an every week thing. (i am a very communicative person and yes ive made it clear i do not like when she does that. she’s apologized a couple times afterwards, but it doesn’t really matter if she’ll just do it again).

i’ve made a pretty good case on why i am justified in not wanting to invite her, but here’s why i should invite her: she doesn’t have a lot of friends. she told us we were her closest friends at one point. she’s only ever been in one relationship, and i don’t even think it was official. they met on tinder and went on some dates, i think they hooked up so it was somewhat serious but they moved away. one time, she was visibly upset that she wasn’t invited when my friend mentioned my birthday party that was 4 days ago at the time. that time, the friend talking about it was the only one in the group to be invited to my birthday as it was a small thing with my closest 10 friends. this time, the whole group will be invited and not her. i will tell them im not inviting her and im not going to talk about it around her, i hope that others won’t either.

even tho at the end of the day i do not want her energy at my party, i will feel bad if i exclude her. i am autistic and i know how it feels to be excluded. but normally im excluded for being “weird” or making one mistake and being held to that my entire life…that is part of why i feel strongly about people being able to grow, deserving second chances, etc. but this is an ongoing issue so i do feel as though its different. she’s shown me time and time again that she is not a friend to me. i don’t know. what do we think?

hi. i’m going to a 7 year olds birthday party at 4:30 today and last night i just realized that the electric balloon pump i have does not work on the balloon animal balloons :( she will be so sad if im not able to make the balloon animals at her party. i cannot find one anywhere (walmart, target, etc) and i dont know what to do. any advice would be appreciated.

edit: i didnt get one but she didnt even say anything about the balloons. party was great. she loved her gift and me and another guy did magic tricks

it seems the watch does notify you when it’s dying. but i never notice this until it’s too late, and i have forgotten to charge it at least 3 times now. can i get my phone to tell me when it’s 20% or when its too low and i need to charge it before bed? if this isn’t a thing, it needs to be.

edit: it would also be helpful if the “your watch is dying” notification wasn’t silent. i believe it is since i’ve never heard it.

for years i’ve been hearing youtubers/streamers talk about capture cards. i have no idea what they are. from my understanding they record what you do on your switch and then it saves onto your laptop or something? i really don’t know. i tried looking it up and watching a video but it seemed very complicated. i am not very experienced with technology. i’ve played ds/3ds/switch since i was a kid and i do have a laptop. so basically im asking if i am correct in what i think it does, and is it hard to use? also, is it okay if i just have a switch and laptop or do i need something else? other than the capture card of course. and how do i record my audio? is that separate?
