Someone hacked my Steam account. Again. Then changed the password. I cannot get support to terminate the account at all or get it back as the account is super old. Oh well, back to the joys of irritant customer service.

Always keep receipts purchased games. My account was quickly returned because it was presented.

Customer service employees follow a template set by retards who look at spreadsheets and think that's how the world works. If you keep copies of your receipts/invoices(the older, the better), and you are writing to them from the account's original email, and original location, and you can provide a good history of account changes - names, locations, etc, you have a good chance of getting the account back.

Actually... if you have access to the account's email, you should be able to request a password reset without contacting customer service. If your account's email is changed, then you may have bigger issues.

I decided to use some of my savings to put towards a 200$ monitor.
The colors are terrible.
Compared to my other monitor, it's darker and yellowy and everything is wavy/colors move. Tinkering with calibration and even matching the settings of the other monitor does nothing.

But it's not too much of a loss. I just wanted it mainly for throwing up refs and things while I try and get my creative wheels turning again.

Guts are doing jumping jacks and feels like a drill bit is lodged in my skull. Excedrin for the symptoms and something else entirely for the cause I guess.

I have very little white wool left. It doesn't look like it's enough right now:C

Nazis ruin everything, fuck
It has been brought to my attention that the name I use for music, Woelfinnacht, happens to be very similar to a Greek band of neonazis called Wolfnacht

I don't want to change my name but at the same time, I have to if I want to avoid some people inevitably losing their shit over a coincidence and accusing me of being a nazi

There can always be a jerk who will accuse you of something because he knew a fraudster/murderer or any other scoundrel with a SIMILAR nickname. And oh my God, you could be the namesake of some serial killer. How could you?

i know some companies are more willing to work with you if you give them unorthodox information to confirm the account is yours, like past billing information you used on the account, full name, describing your purchase history, pins to settings, and what you were doing on the account the last time you remembered being on it. you could also try telling them what friends you were talking to last, and what you've said to them (if you message through steam, that is.)

that's how i got one of my accounts back after losing my ability to unlock 2 factor authentication on it, and them saying there was nothing they could do for me. i winged it and gave them an entire wall of random irrelevant info that tied the account back to me, and they gave me it back.

Well there's an accounting course starting next month. I have to pass an exam first in order to be able to sign up for it.
I hope I can do it. Here goes nothing.

Piggybacking on this (all good examples), if you’ve paid for Steam purchases by PayPal in the past using the email address tied to your PayPal to contact them (if contact is through email) might also be helpful, since that means there’s an established link between your Steam account and the email address.

I have a sex phobia.

I'm 34 and still very much a virgin. I plan to remain as such. The possible damage that having sex would inflict upon my sanity means it isn't worth the risk. I'm just too fragile.

I've had relationships with men but my reluctance to engage in sexual activity has lead to the end of every relationship I've ever been in.

Why is sex so damn necessary? I feel fearful and suspicious when a guy wants me for sex. Why can't we just cuddle and kiss and emotionally support each other? Sex is messy and dangerous. I don't want it. I don't want to want it.

 

[Stray Cat Terry]

Sometimes I wanna cry but I tend to be picky in order to 'allow' myself to shed tears.
I can't think of anyone who deserves to waste time watching me cry, and I can't even be sure if there's anything truly worth crying for, yet I feel something.

Lately I haven't cried and my heart hurts. But thank heavens I can get rid of such while I'm focusing on stuffs.

And thanks to this thread being here for me now, at least I could vent!

Quite a lot of asexuals, you can try to meet someone.
Yes, in general, I have to say that as an asexual, I see (and hear, among other things) that it's easier for people to interact with me. They are not afraid to talk about something personal and be open, because they know that I will not try to flirt with them. It's convenient, both for me and for them. It's good to feel safe.

I'm finally finished my extended hours
But I developed a sore as a consequence.
It hurts very much.
This is so stupid
why

That's so sad, that it's cost you relationships. I'm sorry. I don't know that I have any concrete advice, but if you haven't already, maybe look around ace (asexual) spaces for dating advice/as a dating pool. There's absolutely sex-repulsed alloromantic asexuals out there, and that might be who you need to be looking for?
It's not my community, but I have seen enough indicators out there that I can confidently say that ace spectrum-specific communities exist, and might hold good advice and support for you.

The world is big… and that makes me feel small. I always knew that given the gravity of the universe I was minuscule but I guess I always felt I could be my own gravity on my little scale world. I could say something nice, I could make somebody feel good, I can give some advice for this stupid thing. But people will always go back to feeling back, somebkdy will just go right back to feeling bad and no matter how good or well meaning my advice is it’s never enough.
I strive to be a force for good, to show the world I am here and I wanna change it and make it better, yet I simply cannot. I can’t help the people I care about in an actual meaningful way. And to be honest if I died tomorrow none of the people I talk to here will likely know anything is wrong until like two days after. None of them will know what happened, I could be dead I could have just slilently quit. The fragility of the social system I have been calling upon for over two years now isn’t stable. And it sucks. We all come and go and aren’t none the wiser. Friends change as they drift apart or one grows ti hate the other it’s just bleh. I had always wanted to share about my misgivings in life to either help others going through the same or to make others feel better but it’s only been a place for me to get more hurt. People sauing ‘well I helped with this, now you owe me’ or taking something j was complaining about and like using tbag to make decisions for me… jt sucks. I’m a vulnerable person and it keeps biting me in the ass, I wanna stop but tbh I doubt I will be able to

Dunno what I was trying to say so I was just saying things.

It sucks but you'll start noticing these traits of abuse a lot easier, sadly, the more you experience it. The silver lining is that you'll know how to protect yourself and establish healthy boundaries and can help give pointers to those who end up experiencing the same things!

Straight up, if someone thinks they're entitled to your time and energy because they 'did you a favor' and treat your interactions like transactions, that friend probably has a different definition on what a friend really is... (I'd honestly stop associating with them but I'm cruel and impatient like that)

Try and find your balance between helping others and helping yourself. After all, total selflessness and sacrifice just makes it easier for the greedy ones to continue their legacy of abuse.

It cracks me up, sometimes, when people more interested in appearing to be good than actually being good drop their mask. Especially when they know the mask dropped long enough for you to see their real face.

Big oof. I've experienced this in a major way with my ex. She was so sweet and nice when we first got together, but after the second month it was just down hill. I was the one to blame for everything, nothing was ever her fault. She really fucked me up, and hurt me.

I think the worst part for me is that the warning signs were always there, and I was stubbornly ignoring them or attributing them to my own flaws, or just clinging to the idea that I was capable of things I clearly was not.

I should have tapped out much, much sooner, but lol I'm a fucking dumbass (at least when it comes to people).

I get where your coming from. I should have seen the signs of things going sour; but TBH it was my first real relationship. I didn't really know what to expect. We had some great times, but there was always something wrong. Like if her friend upset her, I'd take the brunt of her anger, or she was allowed to talk to other dudes and I was expected to be ok with it, but if I talked to a girl that wasn't her god help me.
