    When it's charging, the light that shows it's charging turns on but it won't power on anymore

    Could that be something other than a busted battery?

  • Can anyone good with computers help me out please? I have a used gaming laptop (maingear vector model number MG-VCTR001-1660TI) I try charging it and it won't turn on no matter how long i charge it for, I think it's the battery because before this it had an issue where it'd seem charged then immediately die after logging on. I'm trying to see if I can replace the battery instead of getting a new laptop entirely but when I try looking up the laptops info with "replacement battery", only links to the laptop itself show up and no batteries. Am I looking up the wrong info? Can it even be replaced? If it can, can I use any battery that's compatible and how would I know if it is?

    The people who can simplify like decades of history and theory to explain the context behind a current event have my respect rat-salute-2

    I think most of the intensity comes from not really having anywhere else to talk about the topics with non libs

    Oh yeah the "I'm white and think we're all* trash" bit from this site like never comes from someone that actually cares about unlearning racism, it's purely performative but a performance for other whites who also think the discussion about racism should center white feelings

    It sucks because I know in my head that the shitty people in my life reacting negatively to my boundaries is proof that I need them but I'm still like what if I'm being too rigid about this what if I'm being unreasonable

    Sometimes when I look up discussions about horror books I've read and see people talking about a scene like it's so disgusting or scary and it didn't bother me that much I'm like huh I guess I'm a freak

    My adoptive mother would turn the electric range on with the end of the cigarette on it if she didn't have a lighter.

    It stinks up your entire fucking house but does work

    Also very funny, if youre undocumented or whatever I am, you probably can't get a car because you need a social security number to get a permit/license in many states, need a license to get insurance and most likely need a social security number to get insurance or pay a ridiculous amount of money per month if that's even an option, obviously can't get a loan, and even if you can pay out of pocket (where are you saving that money when you can't get a bank account without a social security number thinking-about-it ) all purchases more than $10,000 automatically get investigated by the IRS which you need a social security number for

    Also fuck getting a house, good luck trying to rent with no credit

    I dont work from home but my job is pretty flexible with when I can come in and leave and they do have tuition reimbursement.

    Do you feel that you "lose" information from the classes you took earlier? I'm worried if it takes me longer to get the degree ill struggle with retaining the information.
