This was yesterday, and my left ear is ringing like a fucked microwave. I just recently installed a seriously giant new sub and amplifier powerful enough to light a small country in my car, and of course I have been seeing how hard I could get it all to go by blasting it while I drive around.  Well yesterday Brandon Fehr's song “War” came on my shuffle and if you know that track it has a very heavy driving bass line and a massive buildup in it. I was at a red light, and the song was hitting the right way, so I figured this was the perfect time to see what I really had. I spun the volume knob all the way to the right. The bass was hitting so hard that my rearview mirror was vibrating badly and I could feel it vibrating in my teeth. This felt really amazing for about 4 seconds. Then at the biggest peak in the track the frequency just spiked up, and with my windows up and in a car, it didn't have anywhere to go, and I suddenly heard a extremely LOUD and sick pop in my left...

I’m in my 2nd year doing BS Maths with AI. Last semester I had one project worth 40% of my grade. A machine learning model I spent 3 months on. Two weeks before submission, my laptop started running like garbage. 100% disk usage, fan screaming, taking 10 minutes to open Chrome. Classic. I’m broke and can’t afford a new laptop, so I googled "how to speed up windows laptop". First result: "Disable startup programs and delete temp files". Easy. Second result: "Clean up disk space by deleting old system restore points and unused files". Third result on some forum: "If you’re desperate, you can delete the Windows.old folder and clear the Prefetch folder to free up space". I did all of that. Disk went from 94% full to 31%. Laptop was fast again. I felt like a genius. I shut it down, went to sleep, woke up the next morning to finish my project. Turned it on. Desktop loads. My "University" folder? Gone. My "Project_ML_Final...

Im 6 months into a (what ive found to be) very intense nonprofit job, I essentially run their nature programs but this is my first time doing anything like this job (28f). So far its gone well, I coordinated 10 events in the spring and all went great. Then suddenly today, I had 2 events on simultaneously. I thought I had everything planned perfectly, volunteers for both, im set to go to one of the events to set up and stay the whole time. And i dont know what happened, I had it in my head to leave for 10am, but the event STARTED at 10am, like wtf brain?!?!. I only realized this terrible mistake when I arrived to a packed event, and an email from my morning volunteer who was very understandably disapointed to have been ghosted. I feel awful, volunteers are the lifeblood for a nonprofit and i am mortified to have upset one and made this terrible mistake, let alone it looked bad to the event organizers that our organization was late. Ive apologized profusely to all involved, everyth...

So last night me and my friend decided to have a sleepover drunk and I’m 18 and this is genuinely the first time i’ve ever drank. She’s drank many times before. I really wanted to get blackout drunk and know how that felt but my friend was very paranoid about getting caught and I guess her plan was to not get blackout. I didn’t know. We never communicated any of that. I just thought we’d try to finish all we had. So we did both end up getting pretty drunk and then my friend suddenly told me to stop so that she could get to my level of drunk. She was also getting really sleepy and she tried to make me sleep too but I wanted to be up for longer and I wanted to keep going because I didn’t want to waste the rest of my drink plus I wanted to get blacked out. I had it in a water bottle and she took the water bottle away from me and I kept trying to get it back and then she was getting annoyed because she just wanted to sleep but I really wanted to get blacked out once before college She ...

So let me start by saying I'm may not be the sharpest bulb in the crayon box, but I know things. And one thing I know or thought I knew is when something is an absolute emergency. I hate going to the Dr or any of that so only if I need. Anyway, it was actually a couple years ago, my wife and I had a long day it was like December but the weather was in the 70s all day (kinda relevant). We as parents with two darling children 10 years apart we miraculously were able to get a night alone together. And by golly we were gonna use it. We went to the store and everything...for groceries you pervs. After a date and some cleaning up we sat down to relax and enjoy some TV. After some Hulu she wanted to chill...I sound cringe I know. Anyhow, we head to the bedroom and proceed to do the dirty. We were into switching gears and positions like you wouldn't believe! Yes most of it was ow this position hurts my back now, oof my hip and knee hurt, we are feeling the aches of life but alas we...

This happened earlier today, and I am still cringing every time I look at my phone. ​I recently moved into a new apartment. The place is great, but the landlord is extremely particular about everything. He sends long, detailed text messages almost every morning about tiny rules—like how to properly close the main lobby door, where to place the doormat, and what time to bring the trash back in. ​Today, he sent another 4-paragraph text about "proper balcony etiquette." ​I took a screenshot of his text and opened a chat with my best friend to vent. I typed out: "Is this guy for real? He texts like a military commander every single morning. I feel like I'm living in a boot camp." ​I hit send. ​Except... I didn't send it to my friend. In my rush, I accidentally pasted the text right back into the chat with my landlord. ​As soon as the two blue checkmarks appeared, my heart dropped into my stomach. I frantically tried to delete it, but he had already opened it. ​T...
