Welp grades are shitty. So shitty that i don't think i can recover anytime soon, so why bother? Fail Geometry. Fail History honors. Fail Chem honors. Fail English. Infact lets just drop out of high school completely and be done with school all together... Oh wait.... No high school diploma means no good job so i'll go nowhere. Military? Nope, they won't accept me. So i'll just be stuck at my parents house and fade away being a complete failure. Kiss all my hopes and dreams goodbye.

Meanwhile I'm back home from th earlier endeavor I talked about on th discord. And things momentarily went South very fast after my last message.

As short as I can put it: I had already done quite a lot of physically demanding work while having eaten little to nothing and after realizing I couldn't call the boss because the piece of paper with his phone number was in my room I doubled my effort, putting it's toll on me even further.


Eventually I gave up and decided the best course of action was to launch myself towards the shop as fast as I could on a shoddy bicycle.That was a terrible decision.I arrived at the shop, miraculously only 6 minutes late and explained my situation to the boss, who kindly forgave me with an understanding "shit happens",  before fluently proceeding to the break are where I actually collapsed and nearly passed out several times whilst praying to God my first impression would be a sizeable puddle of vomit on the cantinas floor, because the explosive release of energy in addition to the situation I've discussed early, I had severely burnt myself out.

It took me almost a whole hour to recover from the trip I would've completed in 15 minutes, had I done it in a reasonable fashion.So that was a huge embarrassment.All ended well though. It wasn't too busy so nobody minded me being incapacitated for 45 minutes, the newbies seemed to instantly recognised my seniority aswell, and the signature company hats being held together by Staples and duct tape was a familiar sight too.

The only unly unpleasantries that happened after this point was my reintroduction with that creeping feeling as if delivery moped can explode under your ass at any given time, and my father giving me the well deserved comment of "You could've just called me and asked where I kept the spare key, if you'dve stopped and thought of it for a second instead of bumbling around like a drowning pig."

So yeah. I hope that little vent was at least funny to read. .-.

Had to turn down my best friend for a relationship. I feel really bad about it 'cause I do really like him, and could see myself with him like that but I don't feel ready for another relationship yet. That and I'm also worried I'd lose what makes our friendship so special in the first place.

Guess that worry is moot now because he's avoiding me. I imagine he just needs time, but this shit hurts.

Update: He's just now messaged me and we're talking again. He's okay. Jeez I've never been so relieved to hear someone's voice.

That doesn't sound very logical. Graphics processors and central processors are the entirely different animals.
If the GPU was broken then the CPU can't simply fix it by taking over it's job. It would just cause weird stuff to go on with the display.

Normally I'd check it by opening the case and checking if the CPU is abnormally hot, but you do have a laptop so that makes it less simple. :I
Depends if the CPU and motherboard have built in graphics too.

Dear customers and reviewers of products on sites that sell inexpensive (and sometimes free except for shipping) Chinese products.
Your way of thinking may be applicable for certain things, and I can understand that.
But I need you to understand one thing:
Having your order make it to your mailbox is NOT a valid reason for a 5-star review on electronics!
We already have enough of a problem trusting purchase of electronics online at all, and even more so with off-brands or knockoff products. And when certain webshops offer big kits of components, modules, sensors, wires and even whole microcontrollers(!) for 2,50 and a gum, it's even more so a "too good to be true" situation. That's when we need to trust the opinions of other purchasers to give us a guide for whether it is a great, decent or outright horrible deal.
5 stars sounds like a good sign, until you decide to have a look through the (more often than not over a thousand) reviews and find that the majority haven't even opened their order, and even less TESTED the damn thing. So I am left none the wiser.
So please, reviewers on these sites,
get your **** together and test the products before you give your five stars. That way we can hope to trust that a box of wires and sensors at 37$ doesn't turn out to be a box of lies.

It actually wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if those 5 star reviews came from the shop's owner.

It's China, after all.

It's China, after all.
It was one example out of several others. I'm poking at one slice of the demographic, but in general get annoyed by people who give high overall ratings for one small detail that should be taken for granted. A simple checklist would be:
1) Did it arrive? If yes, move on. If no, low rating.
2) Was the order/item damaged in transport? If no, move on. If yes, slightly deduct score based on damage, keeping in mind the end carrier may be more responsible than the seller.
3a) Does the item require any form of testing? If no, skip to point 4, If yes, move on.
3b) Does the item work as intended (clothes the size advertised, electronics functional, posters hanging right etc)? If yes, give score based on satisfaction. If no, low rating.
4) Summarize score for all above. Be fair, but be precise.
5) Make sure you reviewed according to steps 1-4 and not just step 1.

Ooh, dammit! I hate when s*** like that happens!

Even worse, it's ANNOYING AS HELL when my computer boots me out of my game - doesn't crash it - and goes to desktop for no f***ing reason! I suspect it's something with the video drivers, but the video device I use, as far as I know, is no longer supported. So I'm basically getting kicked out of my game because my PC is saying "YOU MUST UPDATE THE VIDEO DRIVERS NOWWWWWW!!!" Worse than that, some of my games screw up when that happens. IRRITATING as f***.
