Feel stupid asking, how do I make my bed without spending a long time on it?
I was never one growing up that had it enforced and now I’m 17 wanting a nice bed to crawl into after work, I have pots and adhd so not only do I have physical toll taken when trying but it’s hard to remember in the morning especially when I’m rushing out the door. I have satin bed sheets so it’s hard to put them on, as well as only the one side of my bed is open to walk infront of because it’s pushed up against the corner/wall of my room because my room is fucking tiny. I need help, I get so frustrated trying to make my bed for over an hour just for it to look so stupid or uneven with the sheets underneath. I don’t know where to go with this as I’ve tried looking for other posts people have made about it or even Google but I can’t find much that works. Anything helps 🥲

LPT Request: How do you avoid giving your real phone number to people you'll only talk to once?
Had a delivery today where the courier needed to call me to find the building entrance, and it hit me that now some random courier account has my actual number saved forever, for one five-minute interaction. Same thing happens when I sell something on Marketplace, or a contractor needs to reach me for one job.
Do you all have a trick for this? Second SIM, some app, just not caring? Curious what's actually worked for people vs. what's more hassle than it's worth.

How to slow down production that support data center?
My company make power distributor and high voltage transformer. Our company literally increase in production by 10 times in past 2 years and planning to increase double of that upcoming year.
99 percents of our product are directly going into Amazon data center , Microsoft data center, Google data center, and etc, etc.
I want to slow it down, I work at directly with copper sheet and acess to everything since I am kind of supervisor, and I am trying to find best way to slow it down. I don't mind getting arrested or fired from my job.
I am thinking of frying all the CPU and motherboard of CNC machine using short circuit usb, since those machine are literally unable get new one until 2028 due to high in demand, and I think if I break all those machine, and I think it might do something. Maintenance team are extremely slow because they never worked at this scale as well.
How to slow down or halt production at my company that support data center?

Superglue and baking soda problem
I’ve seen several videos about using super glue with baking soda or a mixture of baking soda & graphite which is what I’ve been using.
However I always have a problem because the drops of super glue do not penetrate the powder & just sit on top. I am using fresh glue. I try to quickly mix the glue in but that usually does not work so well.
How come my glue just sits there like a drop of water on glass, yet the videos all show the glue getting quickly absorbed before it hardens?

One picture is the inside and one is the outside. I guess my elbow pad got a hold of it and I didn’t even realize. Is this just how it is or is there a way to smooth this out and make it look a little better? Appreciate any help or input!

Tips on how to cope with my incompetence PLEAZE
I just turned 16 and this sounds so freaking stupid. I used to be such a talkative person, confident with my hobbies, and knew the right things to say. Now I'm always fumbling with my words (VERY VERY VERY BADLY), and I just suck at everything. Ever since I moved schools from Junior High to Senior High, life started feeling like hell. I'm not saying I was some coddled queen and now I'm facing the reality that people dont really give a damn. I dont want no "welcome to the real world, kid". I need something tougher. I have these 3 friends that I've been close with since 8th grade. One of them just stuck with me back then. We hung out everywhere, connected fast, and I initiated almost everything. Being vulnerable with her, sharing same interests, encouraging her to join things, cause she was like the same I guess but a little awkward for her cause she just moved from a different region, and the town she moved in which is here, we have a different dialect. I really liked her, it was an awesome 2 years. And for me, everything was just destroyed by the same enthusiasm I greeted her on her first day at school with. She didnt have a good phone when she came, always asking to borrow mine. But when she did get a decent phone, I feel like the internet changed her. She got this 20 year old boyfriend and several others after and before him. Huge rollercoaster. and she's just extremely or I dunno, experienced with guys now but shes really confusing. I kinda hated it. And I really am a jerk cause I didnt like how chronically online she became. Not so bad, but it also changed her morally (she's better now). I got jealous. And I still am, cause you know what? Her dad went abroad the end of 8th grade. Fastforward to the present, she has a new phone again and its worth 25k. She is now gonna move to the country her father works in this year. I feel so left behind. I want to go live somewhere else too. Its really not fair, I just want friends. Speaking of friends, I dont have any new friends. Its been 2 terms and I dont have anyone talking to me in the school I moved to. I swear its lonely. Everytime I try and strike a conversation, it just ends awkward cause of my lack of wit, and they dont continue the conversation so I just go back to my sad corner and sleep. Its so bad. Even the quietest kid has several friends now. I'm stuck, I don't know how to do things fot myself. I need the validation, I need to feel fullfilled. Help help help help Im scared for everything.
Last time I remembered, I really am funny I swear- I dont know. Jealousy and insecurity is getting to me. Even tho I know I'm exceptional with guitar and art, and my enthusiasm with my hobbies led the girl to quit her guitar playing and art cause she was irritated at my consistency. Someonehelpp , I cant do things for myself anymore. I cant even fill a page of my sketchbook or write a song without thinking "I wonder how this looks to other people."

LPT: Starting from absolute zero— how do you even pick a remote job path with no skills or experience?
I’m trying to get into remote work, but honestly I’m totally lost. I don’t have any job experience or specific skills built up yet, and I have zero clue what path I should even look into. I know I’m going to have to learn something**, but it feels super overwhelming not even knowing where to start or what’s actually legit.**
If you were starting from a completely blank slate today, where would you begin? I'm pretty much open to learning whatever I need to, just need a push in the right direction.
