Stuff like this makes me question your age. How old are you again?

 

Physically, or mentally?

[wintery]

An infographic on anything that I want it to be about. I want to do it on something historical, but nothing quite recent.

 

Qin Shi Huang's conquest of the warring states, in which he standardized roads, currency, writing, weights and measures, creating for the first time a smallish but unified China while killing horribly anyone who disagreed with him. His dynasty lasted just a few years because he was desperately certain these magic pills could make him immortal. Being mercury, they didn't.

 

But the Han Dynasty was built on the unified landscape he created and lasted (with a tiny interruption) for four centuries or so.

 

There you go. Not at all recent

Well, physically. You say you're studying to become a teacher, and you have a sister who I'm guessing is very young because she's still playing hide and seek. You say you've failed to join the army. 

 

It's confusing me...

That is very interesting! Tell me more!

And all of it is true.

 

Well, maybe except the joining the army bit. I saw my capability, and I thought I had no chance, so I didn't even try. I failed myself, but that's a detail.

@LightningPoodle I actually got some sleep, so I'm almost feeling alive today.

[wintery]

lmfao, yes. I saw some guy raging about how KE, Tempest, and Champion degraded his Nightmare PT because even though he didn't use them and soloed it with a rogue (or something like that I forget it all just sounds like bro chest thumping at some point) BECAUSE THEY CAN GET THE ACHIVEMENT TOO THERES NO INTEGRITY and I was like bro, get a new hobby or something.

 

(shakes head) My gaming seems so much less stressful than this.

So you failed to join based on a thought? You are capable of a lot of things. You just have to make the first step. Seriously, sign up, if you get turned down at the first hurdle, no problem, no harm done, no time lost. At least you get an answer. If not, if you do get in, go through it. If you get to a stage where you can't continue, you don't feel capable of going further, then stop. At least you can say you gave it a try.

No. I am a weakling. I have proven that fact when I backed out the first time.

Are you okay?

[Lady Luminous]

I'll be fine, just still really upset about my stupid computer problems. 

 

I've had to buy a new power cord (this one is dying , gah) and flash drive to back up my files just incase when I shut down tonight it infinity loops again. 

[wintery]

I remember you were having trouble with this. I'm sorry to hear it's still frustrating.

[Lady Luminous]

I probably should have made sure everything was working alright before re-downloading everything... Stupid Dazzle.

Aw that can be a pain. Hopefully you'll have a new one soon. I was worried it was your hard drive from your pm.

You're not stupid So many times computers act like they're fine until you try to do something important and they pull the rug out from under you.

It might be. It kept on trying to repair drive c. And even now I have a flag on my action center that says I need to restart to fix the drive error. 

 

So I'll go get a flash drive, back up all my media files (Only had enough room to back up document files last night) and then restart. Until then I refuse to go near my start button

Thanks darling. I can fix some things with enough googling, but for the most part I don't understand computers at all. 

 

Now the internet? That I understand just fine, lol.

Hmm...that might be a problem if it's trying to fix a drive constantly. Any strange whirring sounds (hard drives sometimes make this clicking/whirring sound on start-up when they're failing). You might want to get it to whatever tech center/place your comfortable with and back up that drive if you can beforehand. Have you been backing it up regularly? I do a backup to an external drive once a month to every other month just cause I am super paranoid about drive failures and losing my stuff.

...I only use my laptop for fun stuff like DAI: and media, so I never ever considered backing up anything. 

 

Hence why I need to go buy that flash drive, because I can't afford an external drive right now.

That's what I do. It really came in handy the day Electricity Guy turned off my power during a Windows update and yeah, that was a complete reinstall.

Oh my god, that's horrific! 

 

I apparently never considered what it would be like to lose all my files. 

 

It wouldn't be the end of the world, but it would definitely suck.
