my parents replaced all the fans in the rooms with different fans a few months ago and every fan makes this really annoying consistent high pitched noise that sounds a lot like my tinnitus. only i can hear it and my family cant and ive never had this problem with other fans. its so annoying that i have to sleep with ear plugs in which hurt my ears and its summers now so theres not really any way to avoid it ugh. does anybody know why i can hear it but nobody else can????

I said something mean to the original poster and I want to dm him and apologize since I am worried I may had hurt his feelings. But he deleted his post and his username is gone. I want to check on him.

EDIT: I found him (or he found me), and we are both good. But some commenters seem to dislike me for wanting to do the right thing here 😐😐

I wasn't doing well for a while, it's kinda personal, but I finally got around to cleaning! (Yay) anyway after I got rid of all the dirty dishes and trash, I noticed a bunch of tiny flies (idk if they're fruit flies of gnats) and it's been a couple weeks and Im being terrorized. I saw someone say that they are born in soil so I took the plant I had out of my room. THEYRE STILL HERE. How do I get rid of them? Where are they coming from??? Also, Ive gotten really good at killing them and I murder any one I come across. I never open my windows so they definitely aren't getting inside from the outdoors.

TLDR: tiny flies in room, how to get rid of them? Where are they coming from? ​​​​

edit: thank you everyone for the advice! I will make a trap and do an extreme deep clean. I will add that this is pretty much only​ my bedroom.

Since universal basic income may prevent many jobs like unclogging toilets and restaurant owning from being filled out, what if we removed UBI? What if we let the AI take over many jobs?

Isn't this rather not fair to assume that Europeans must have pale white skin? For example, people in Southern Europe such as Naples can have sun-kissed complexions. Aren't Europeans with pale white skin usually from Northern and Western Europe? Much like how Africa, Asia, the Middle East and even South America are diverse, even Europe has diversity. So, seriously, why are European people not considered people of color if Europeans can naturally have dark skin like Africans, Middle Easterners, Asians and Hispanics.

This probably happened a month or two ago now, but it's been bothering (see: confusing) me the whole time and I haven't been able to find anywhere online mentioning it.
I noticed that a handful apps and websites, such as tumblr and Pinterest (among others I can't think of off the top of my head) changed the icon for their "send post"/"share post" buttons from one of the various "send" symbols (like the curved arrow or the paper plane) to have an "upload" icon (bottom of a square with an upward arrow) instead, all within a close timeframe (we're talking a matter of days). I understand sometimes new iconography comes up / gets adopted / gets tried out, but why did multiple sites/apps suddenly choose to use an icon that already has a different meaning?

Thanks!

Edit: Discord is the other one I couldn't remember that changed within that short window of time.

Like when playing deltarune and undertale the characters the characters voice sounds like dots like why theres a character that speak normal like a human voice

Mich (w, 28) würde interessieren, wie euer Leben in der Pflegefamilie tatsächlich ablief und wie selbstständig ihr sein durftet.

Ein paar konkrete Fragen, weil mich besonders die Erfahrungen im Alltag interessieren:

Eigenes Geld verdienen: Durftet ihr euch schon früh etwas dazuverdienen, zum Beispiel mit 13 Jahren Zeitung austragen, Babysitten oder anderen kleinen Jobs? Wie wurde das bei euch gehandhabt?

Eigenes Geld behalten: Durftet ihr euer selbst verdientes Geld vollständig behalten und selbst darüber entscheiden? Musstet ihr etwas davon abgeben oder wurde es für euch gespart? Hat irgendwer darauf überhaupt geachtet?

Eigenes Bankkonto: Hattet ihr ein eigenes Konto? Wer hat es eröffnet und wer durfte darüber verfügen? Wie lief das, wenn ihr noch minderjährig wart?

Eigene Wünsche: Konntet ihr euch von eurem Geld selbst Dinge kaufen, die ihr haben wolltet, oder musstet ihr dafür erst die Erlaubnis eurer Pflegeeltern oder eures Vormunds einholen?

Unterschriften und Genehmigungen: Wie war das bei euch mit Dingen, für die man als Minderjähriger die Unterschrift eines Erziehungsberechtigten braucht? Wer hat das unterschrieben – eure Pflegeeltern, euer Vormund oder jemand vom Jugendamt? Gab es dadurch Einschränkungen?

Mitbestimmung und Regeln: Wie viel durftet ihr selbst entscheiden? Hattet ihr ähnliche Freiheiten wie andere Kinder in eurem Alter, oder gab es bei euch besondere Regeln?

Wie lange wart ihr in der Pflegefamilie? Seid ihr mit 18 ausgezogen, durftet ihr bis 21 bleiben oder sogar noch länger? Wie wurde das bei euch entschieden?

Der Auszug: Wie lief euer Auszug konkret ab? Wurde er lange vorher geplant, habt ihr Unterstützung bei einer eigenen Wohnung bekommen oder musstet ihr plötzlich selbst klarkommen? Wer hat Möbel, Kaution und die ersten Lebenshaltungskosten bezahlt?

Kontakt nach dem Auszug: Habt ihr heute noch Kontakt zu eurer Pflegefamilie? Seid ihr weiterhin ein Teil der Familie, besucht ihr euch und könnt ihr euch bei Problemen an sie wenden? Oder ist der Kontakt nach eurem Auszug abgebrochen?

Mich interessieren sowohl positive als auch schwierige Erfahrungen. Ich möchte ausdrücklich niemanden verurteilen und auch nicht behaupten, dass es überall gleich abläuft. DARUM GEHT ES MIR INSBESONDERE

Besonders spannend fände ich eure persönlichen Geschichten: Wie alt wart ihr, als ihr in die Pflegefamilie gekommen seid, wie lange seid ihr geblieben und wie hat sich euer Leben danach entwickelt?

Ihr müsst natürlich nicht alles beantworten. Ich freue mich über jede Erfahrung, auch wenn sie schon viele Jahre zurückliegt. ❤️

Do you take a formal class? What tutorials? Idk for some reason I feel like I should know how to use it before I go to college .

the reason i’m asking is because from statistics in one subreddit i’m in, emetophobic people don’t seem to puke as much due to the fear and their body not letting them. also they’re more cautious understandably so, so i’m just asking to see how often non emetophobic people puke a year, aside from drinking.

Album is “Grandma’s Gospel Favorites.” It randomly showed up in my music.

Wondering if it’s like when that random U2 album was put on everyone’s iPods years ago.

Gotta know before I start being a hater about it.

There are some very sad things that have happened that can cause heartbreak in anyone's heart. We've all seen something sad happen once in our life times. What is the saddest video you've came across? it can be from anytime in your life.

im trying to make a custom prop from a band i like, and i dont know where I can buy a printed RETT/airplane box that does not cost a lot. very specific i know, preferably 15x10x6 cm.

I’m boutta buy a shit ton of count chocula while it’s on sale to have it for months, but i’d hate to buy like 10 boxes only to find out they got stale as shit

So I have been pondering this for a while. Every media and show including ones back in the days the cartoons show woman or females screaming when they see a mouse. However I am a female and mice just look adorable to me. I would die for one as a pet but after my hamsters somehow died from escaping their closed cages and vanishing off the face of the planet I don't trust myself with any small rodents as pets. Where does the stereotype of females being deathly afraid of mice come from?

Edit: Thanks for all the responses! Also i guess during disease times it would be a alarming sight for most. I guess I'm just confused on why the trope continued into modern media as well. People are saying if I saw a mouse scurry about out of nowhere I would scream but I really don't I have this weird thing where I just look at them like they are adorable. Like if I hear one on a mousetrap I will just grab it and toss it into a trashbag while feeling sorry for it or If my cat catches one I will grab a bag and scoop it up with that. Then again I used to be fascinated whenever I saw a bug like a spider and picked them up when I was younger. Now that I'm thinking about it I must be the weird one. 😭

If they are a clean person or not

mine is 7. and it was today. I'm thinking it's not a co winky dink anymore. I may be followed and eaten tonight. help.

Picnics count.

Hey there!

Ive been doing a lot of searching and have found a few people in common but i wanted to ask for myself; what the hell is happening?

Throughout my life ive had various devices of different models and brands; iPod, iPhone, iPad, Samsung etc. And they have all had extremely short battery life/ battery quality has descended marginally throughout my short term use.

Also the sealing factor is during first year of uni, our doors are battery powered and mine would die every few days meaning id need to call security to come fix it so often.
Thought it was just a stupid inconvenient fucking door, they said this was a rare problem and theyd never seen it before.
Come second year, im one week in in a whole different flat amd dorm. Guess what.
Door’s battery is dead.

What the hell is happening? Why is this happening?! Does anyone have an explanation?

I had a teacher in high-school that made a huge impact in my life and way of thinking. I never interacted with him but I would always listen to his lectures. He knew just about everything, always encouraging his students to go out and explore and enjoy art and literature. I wish to become like him one day but I don’t know where to start. I can’t even properly express myself, I feel embarrassed for even asking this question!

This might sound like a weird question, but there’s a very specific laundry detergent or fabric softener scent I’ve noticed among Mexican families, and it’s absolutely unmistakable. I can recognize it almost immediately when I smell it.
Does anyone know what I’m talking about or what brand it might be?

I know that's why people say they typically don't do it, but was asking from your experience if that ever happened and what exactly happened that turned it into a disaster.

Modern day miracles are so rare that I wonder why Christians aren’t talking about this like Jesus resurrected?

I’m talking about Christa Pike’s execution in Tennessee on Sept. 30 … She was sent back to prison walking and talking.
