Just saw the review for the new Mission 1 Pro and it sounds like a beast with that larger sensor. I've been using my old Hero for years, but the cinematic footage claims are pretty tempting. Do you guys think the extra quality justifies the price tag for casual users?
Hannah Moore said:Hey guys, is there any way I can get rid of these asterisks (*) around my username? It’s driving me absolutely insane having to type an asterisk at the start and end of my name every single time I post.
When I first signed up, I really wanted to go by Hannah Moore, but there’s already a user named hannah moore (all lowercase) who hasn't posted since 2006.
Since I can't have the plain name, could I maybe swap those two asterisks for an underscore at the end or something similar? Like, would Hannah Moore_ work?
Thanks so much in advance!
Nope, you can't do that. Just pick a different username using letters, numbers, or spaces.
Fine, whatever, I guess I'll just leave it like this then.

Gregory Wells6, you should try looking up some online screening tests for Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) just to see if your daughter’s behavior actually lines up with the symptoms. I can’t give you a direct link right now because I haven't looked at them in ages, but honestly, I remember reading about this stuff years ago and there was a massive amount of information available online. Just do a quick search and you'll find plenty of resources to dig into.
By the way, from what I understand, BPD isn't something people just outgrow once they hit adulthood; it’s a lifelong thing. It’s not like you just sail past puberty and suddenly everything is fine. That said, I really don't think your daughter has it—though, look, I'm not a doctor, so nothing is totally off the table—but if she actually did, the psychiatrists and psychologists she's been seeing would have definitely pointed that out by now.
Whether you're working or not is honestly secondary right now; your absolute top priority has to be getting yourself together, chilling out, and actually treating that anxiety, depression, and eating disorder... Seriously, I think it would be way more important for you to hunt down a doctor or a psychiatrist who actually gets you and can provide some real help. Once you’ve finally reached a healthier, calmer headspace, then—and only then—should you even bother deciding whether you want to hit the books or find a job.
You say you actually love your major, but you just hate the idea of "showing up." But let's be real: what you actually hate is realizing you don't have the focus, the grit, the discipline, or any decent study habits left... And honestly, all of that probably started spiraling back in high school when you mentioned the drug use. It takes a massive amount of time to get everything back to a functional baseline. Still, the fact that you actually care about your studies should be enough motivation to try and get back to campus once you've got some psychological support in place—you know, to prove to yourself that you're actually capable of learning again.
And look, I really don't think you should give up on family therapy, but hey, everything takes time to work through.
Do yourself a favor and do some digging; try to find a truly solid psychologist or psychiatrist who fits your needs.
I'm genuinely worried that if you just jump from one random part-time gig to another, you're just going to end up fragmenting your life even more. You'll constantly be beating yourself up for dropping out of college, years will slip through your fingers, and later on, it might be ten times harder to go back. Plus, what kind of long-term career prospects are you actually building with those odd jobs? Just something to chew on.
So, bottom line: first, focus on recovery—dedicate yourself to your health, your mental peace, and getting well—and then, naturally, you can worry about making progress at school.
James Cox6 said:Rough... go ahead and kill yourself with more booze then. What exactly are you planning to appeal? On what grounds? You were drunk behind the wheel.
Seriously, what would you even appeal? Some minor detail?
Exactly! What is there to whine about? That the cheap whiskey tasted bad?
