Yo, where are all my tech nerds at? I need some help over here!

Hey everyone, what's up.

My bad if I posted this in the wrong spot. Mod, can you move this to the right sub?

My Macbook Pro is acting up again. Here's the deal:

Just yanked this laptop out of a box it’s been sitting in for like a year. Plugged it in, juiced it up, and called it a day.
Man, I haven't touched this thing in forever and now I'm totally locked out because I blanked on my password. Total nightmare.
I was scouring the web for ways to reset my password and stumbled onto this advice.

When you're booting up, hit Command+S. As soon as that cursor pops up, type it exactly like this:
Just run `mount -uw /` then this line:
Just run rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone and you're good to go for the next one.
Kill the power. Right now.

So I did it. My laptop totally wiped itself—must've hit a factory reset or something because I had to set up my whole user profile from scratch. Total pain.
Man, while I was clicking through all those settings, the trackpad just completely died on me. Total junk. I had to hack my way through using the key under Caps Lock to swap options and hitting Space to confirm everything. What a joke.

Once I finally finished setting up my profile, the home screen actually loaded up fine.
The trackpad moves the cursor just fine, but clicking? Absolute zero. Nothing. Just dead air.
Everything’s frozen. Can't click anything, can't select anything... nothing works.
And get this—it gets even weirder. I plugged the charger in and now it won’t even charge... nothing.

I've been scouring the web looking for some actual help, but honestly? All those "tips" I found were total garbage. Zero help.
Tried the PRAM and SMC reset, still absolutely nothing. Total waste of time.

Anyone got any tips for fixing my clicking issues? It's driving me insane.

If you’d actually bothered to read the posts in this thread, you’d see everything here is based on people who’ve already had nose surgery or are prepping for it...

Even if our obsessions seem ridiculous to people who haven't dealt with this crap, most folks here aren't acting like know-it-alls or looking down on us...

"Don't nag" — the question I asked wasn't directed at you. If my anxiety is getting under your skin that much, maybe go back to the threads about women, sex, and drugs, because that seems more your speed...

You totally wrecked me 😬😬😬

Long live Zod 🙂🙂🙂

Larry Fisher3 said:You're definitely gonna get hit with customs. Even if you just buy some cheap phone pouches, they'll charge you. They probably include the shipping because it's a bulk package, but that "free fee" thing sounds totally sketchy. Like, what does that even mean? A free fee? Makes zero sense.

Totally agree. Customs is a given; there's no way you're getting stuff through without paying up.

Grace Hernandez66 said:Man, I had this irritation on my left side and near the bridge of my nose. Now it’s just a tiny spot on the bridge, though I can still feel a slight bump if I touch it. The real kicker is that the base of my nose is still this weird baby pink color and won't budge—not even concealer can hide it. Trying not to freak out yet, just waiting for the follow-up appointment... I don't get how the redness hasn't faded since the swelling went down months ago.😕

Stop stressing, it sounds fine. If it were actually bad, you'd know by now.

Ugh, my hand joints are killing me too... honestly have zero clue what's causing this crap. 🤷

👍 I'm right there with ya,

Instead of actually starting his career, he’s gotten himself tangled up in some shady dealings with people you definitely don't want to mess with. I confronted him about it, and he just brushed me off, claiming it has nothing to do with us—which, as you can imagine, is incredibly hard to swallow. We've always been an educated, principled family; we're honest people, and this kind of behavior is completely foreign to our values. He’s a good person at heart, but when it comes to standing up for what's right, he’s a coward.

Man, if he could find me a way to make some quick cash, I’d be right there with him! Let the hungry guys work!🤣🤣
