What's Bothering You?

My 2DS XL is giving me problems which is worrying.
I was having a problem for the console to recognise my Pokemon Pearl - before that, as I was going to go trade with myself I got a blue screen, and asked to turn the DS off. Now, not only that but when I turn the DS back on, nothing happens. It lights up blue, but nothing is showing on the screen, and that worries me.
I'll stop bothering it tonight, and hope it 'fixes' itself, because I was worried it was frozen a bit before I turned it off again. I hope and pray it stops doing this. I am so scared.

Also, with my laptop I noticed this weird thing when I watch youtube, When I scroll down to see comments, and wanna read more or look at the replies of said comment, my mouse doesn't change to that 'clicky' bit, it doesn't do anything, which is weird cause it works when I wanna scroll onto another video ad it lets me click the video, but weirdly enough not the comments and replies, Ive already restatrted my computer and its still like this.

Why is technology failing me
 
I remember doing something here with you before. I'm pretty sure we're on good terms. Close enough?

Planned obsolescence? Do you have isopropyl alcohol and a q-tip?

I do plan on doing that - rubbing alcohol I think it's called here - as it did turn on but froze. So, I am just hoping it's just dust in the cartridge slot.
Otherwise, I think another way to check is to open it up completely? That would mean getting new tools.
 
The hypocrisy and in general friction seems so abundant anymore.
I wonder if things will look better later or if it will continue in the same direction or not and just be more power grabbing like the far history of humanity has been.
Also, I don't like how people are used as stepping stones or as disposable, whether they are aware of it happening or not.
 
Found a quarter on the sidewalk today. I was about to grab it when someone ran up and beat me to it. They saw that I had my eye on that quarter. They said, “Finders keepers!” and hurried away. Dang it. I needed that quarter. It would’ve been an easy 25 cents added to my money jar. 😑

Also, when I played my 3DS yesterday, I accidentally pinched my finger when I closed it. I hate it when that happens. It’s not often because I’m super careful, but sometimes accidents happen. Oof.
 
Something I’m waiting for in the mail still hasn’t come; I said I’d give it another week but I’m not confidant about it at all. Still, fingers crossed it comes 🤞.

I’m trying my best not to think about it, but at the same time I’m half hoping to hear from my best friend by my birthday since he missed my last one and didn’t even apologize. I’m half not since I know I’ll just cry when I do hear from him like I’ve been last couple times we talked since it hurts so much still and I’ve kinda already given up on hearing from him again and how I feel—I’ve been giving him space and hoping he’d message me first instead since last time we talked but nothing.

Please no comments or dms including no discord messages.

I wish I had more time for this application, it's deadline is noon tomorrow...I know mostly it's my fault for not getting some of the questions ready - plus two are videos (I've been told I can just send the answers via email, but I had sudden this cute idea that I would hold up a lil doodle sketch of me as I spoke, and it was be weird making a fuss outta the video just to do that, fudge)
Also one question is just annoying me. Asking me what programme inspired me to want to go into television; I already said in the answer that, a tv show wasnt my first inspiration; but now im trying to think of a random show to mention - but also talk about the good and bad of the show; since you learn by both but my brain isnt working.
If this one was about films, I def have ideas but programmes?? why is my mind going blank.

Also my boss is NEVER on time, so gah. worries me about getting home to finish the application if I cant do it tonight.
 
You guys keep my sweet Ellie girl in your thoughts. We’re about to head to the vet shortly, but something is definitely wrong with my poor baby. She yelped last night when we went to bed, but I thought it was because 2 ton Sally Moose dog jumped on the bed and thought maybe she had stepped on her foot or got her somewhere with her huge clunky feet as my Ellie is a bit on the drama queen side. But my oldest woke me up this morning around six tell me something was wrong and so she’s acting like she’s in some pain and she’s panting and has rapid breathing so we’re going to the vet very shortly. I’m hoping she may have just pulled a muscle or has maybe a slight upset stomach and not anything more serious than that.
 
It's the middle of exam month, and I'm starting to get really sick (ie headaches, woozy, wanting to vomit) and I hope it's just the really hot weather because I can avoid that by staying inside, but if it's stress or I'm coming down with something than this month is going to be a lot harder than it has to be :^(
 
I missed out on switch 2 pre-sale coz I just figured they wouldn't be dumb and have plenty stock but now I can't find available pre sale anywhereeeeee , I just hope im able to get one on release (ik this is minor but still)
 
Just wanted to give a little update on my sweet Ellie. It is in fact her back and for right now we are treating it as if she bruised something or has a pulled muscle somewhere so she’s on three different medications at the moment and I know what to watch for if it is in fact, more serious, which would require an MRI so please cross your fingers that it is just a she jumped down too far and maybe pulled a muscle or jarred something. For right now she is on an anti-inflammatory, a muscle relaxer, and gabapentin, which is what I take ha ha ha ha!!! I am quite relieved because this morning, her rapid breathing was really starting to scare me, but she was in pain, and that was the reason.
 
I'm angry. My parcel was rerouted to a pick-up spot, and the email and site worded this as if it was done at my request.

I phoned the helpline and they proceed to gaslight me, apologising that I don't remember changing my delivery to collection. She stated this three times. I bloody well didn't!! 😡

I'm more annoyed by the customer service than I am the inconvenience.
 
How greedy Nintendo is.
They already make enough money (merch, games, consoles, movies, amiibos, etc.) but they’re just greedy and want more. It makes me sick. 😑

Also, the fact that Nintendo charges high prices for the Switch 2 because they know that no matter how angry you are, you’ll buy it anyways. Then they get more money. Business is just cold and serves the rich. They have tons of money but can’t seem to have enough. What Doug Bowser said about buying a regular Switch instead of the Switch 2 is stupid.

I agree with Apples, Rockefeller isn’t as greedy.

It just makes me really angry that Nintendo is raising their prices so they can rake in even more money. I mean, seriously? 40 dollars per amiibo? It’s basically just a plastic toy that probably only cost a dollar to make. The previous price of 15 dollars was MUCH more reasonable.

Long story short, Nintendo is making bad business decisions right now and are acting SELFISH AND GREEDY AND STUPID.

I also feel cruddy that I’m going to be one of those people who won’t have a Switch 2 on launch day. I’ll be lucky if I even get it at all at this point. I’m praying that someone gets it for me for my birthday. But even then, it’s probably not gonna happen. (Not having the Switch 2 on launch day makes me feel left out, and like I’m a LOSER.)

I hope that the people at Nintendo realize how COMPLETELY SCUZZY they’re acting right now. I REALLY hope they change their overall attitude and behavior. Because I swear to Hylia and Arceus that if they don’t, they’re gonna lose a lot of customers. Including me. I have no interest in buying products from greedy people. I’ll flat out REFUSE to pay them any of my money if they keep up this complete bullshirt. It’s REALLY scuzzy.

(I found that typing all of this down actually makes me feel a little bit better. But only a tiny bit.)
 
Each time I go into work, this person from the morning shift tells me about these Coke bottles he saved for me with my deadname on it. It’s such a common name that it’s easy to find on these bottles and it’s annoying to have to listen to this each time he works. Luckily, I only see him in passing, but all he’s doing is making me hate the name more.

I like to think he’s doing it as a joke, but he is a Trump supporter.

And a minor annoyance, but it’s freezing here for some reason. Why does my grandma keep her house as cold as a ski resort?

I'm in a slump right now that's making it really hard to finish up a project I'm working on that's like 95% done. What's frustrating is that the slump largely feels spurred on by the state of the world and my place in it, and that's largely not something I have control over. It just feels like the real world is on fire thanks to people with far more power than me, and the internet (which I used to be able to use as an escape) is filled with radicalized people and general bad actors (and bots). It makes it hard to want to make new friends because I just don't like the way people act nowadays, but I can't rely on my current friends always being there, because many of them have already drifted away or otherwise changed so much that they've become people that I no longer wish to be around.
