I won't say where I'm from but I want to make it known this is in Australia, I know Australia and American target are different. This is kinda small town Australia. I am 22f and was wearing a light cream hoodie and jeans.

I was in target today. And I'll run you through my rout. I forgot to grab a basket but I wasn't planing on getting much anyway, mostly a browse to kill time between appointments. I go through the lady's clothes to the jeans and don't see anything of interest so I go towards the underwear and bras, see a few cute bras but keep walking. Grabbed some socks as I tend to be loosing them more frequently, and head towards the pet toys. I look around and see a few Mother's Day things are on clearance and see a very nice throw, $12 wasn't too bad but I have enough and I want to crochet one so I skip it and go to the dog toys. I grab 2 toys, the shelf's were lacking. And I see a lady in all black with price tags in her hand. I figured she worked there and I walked closer to look at the bags, just having a look, I didn't even take anything off the shelf. All this was in the back right corner. I walk towards the books and need to walk past the shoes and the men's clothing, I didn't think anything else of this lady until I was looking at the books and see her walking a few paces behind me from where I just came from. I'm in the back right corner now. I keep looking and didn't get anything, target be lacking in the books too. I remember target had diamond art so I start heading there, only a few isles down, and as I'm looking I see this lady go into the isle next to me. Same lady as before. I think it's a little odd and I keep looking. I then remember that target has mini brands but they always move them so I'm looking around for those and every few isles I see this lady. I thought about asking her for help but at this point my paranoia and anxiety are spiking and I don't want to cause a scene so I forgetting about those mini brands and head towards the bath and cosmetic section. Front right corner. I've almost done a full lap of the store as the entrance and checkout is front left. I get to the bath stuff and grab a loofa and a hot water bottle with a fizzy cover and start to make my way out when I almost run right into this lady. I apologise and she just stands there blocking my way, I go to say something but then she turns around, and walks to the next isle. At this point I'm on a brink of an anxiety attack so I start to head out. I wanted to look at the bedding section as target seems to have good selection, I found nothing of interest so I head to the checkouts and as I'm putting my stuff up (no self serve here) the same lady walks behind the register and opens the one next to where I am and calls for the next person waiting, I pay for my stuff and get the hell out of there. I instantly call my mum and tell her what happend and she was shocked.

I don't know if they thought I was dodgy, I don't look dodgy, I did have my own bag but it was over my shoulder and zipped up. And again, I had literally an a full of things, i couldn't pocket something even if i wanted to. I feel so guilty even though i did nothing wrong. I'm not sure if i should report this or not or if this is normal and i just never realised. It was really quiet in there so maybe i was just an easy target (lol no pun intended) my cousins friend works there so maybe I'll ask her if they have people follow people. It seems too much of a coincidence that i basically did a lap and went into many isles and she was still following me.

Anyway i just wanted to get that out there.

Picture this. You, an almost 22 year old female, struggling to make ends meet. Living under the roof of your mum and stepdad. You have your own dog that you souly provide for. You work a dead end, minimal wage casual job, you pay board (1/3 of rent + a little extra for power and water) you buy your own groceries and personal items. But your step dad has a problem with everthing you do. And if there is nothing. He makes one.

The other morning. You wake up to your step dad saying "she's fucking lazy" "why can't she just do it" "-your name- it's lazy" and you have no idea what he could be on about. You can't think of any wrong doing. You don't even hear your own mother back you up. She's just saying "it's fine" "it's not a big deal" they both go to work and you look around the house once you get out of bed and there is nothing out of the ordinary and you can't remember there being anything wrong. So you forget about it.

But then your step dad. Leaves his work shoes in the middle of the lounge, work shirt on the couch, jacket on the chair, trainers in the walk way, rubbish on the sink in the bathroom (something you were yelled at about previously) didn't do his dinner dishes (another previous outburst) and didn't change the toilet roll when he used the last bit (again, another previous outburst of his)

"Just move out" did I mention I'm broke?
"Get a better job" working on it.
"Why is your mum with this asshole" HAHA GREAT QUESTION. I don't fucking know.
"Be grateful they are letting you live there" I am grateful. It's peaceful 80% of the time when my fuck ass step dad isn't home. Just his presence pisses me off.
I ask my mum for a lift into town, she was already going in and I said she could drop me off wherever she goes to. So there was no extra trips. No extra fuel being used. Step dad goes "no, get a bus" I just ignored him. It's not his car. Why the fuck does he care. He's always telling me to get a bus. Speaking for my mum. I want to cut is tongue out and shove it up his ass.

I hate him more than I've hated anyone.

Hey I'm very lost, I've used vanilla tweaks before and I've done it all the same.

I have a few versions of Minecraft going depending on what mods I want. I'll break it down.

I use a 3rd part launcher for modded worlds as I have a sever/SMP on the regular launcher and I don't want mods interfering with that. I do have vanilla tweaks on there and it works just fine, it's updated to the newest version and again, never had a vanilla tweaks issue.

I have a neo forge version on the 3rd party launcher, I have many mods on there and vanilla tweaks. It's 1-20 something but not updated to the newest version as the main mod I wanted wasn't. So all mods are based on that mods updated version. I used that launcher for a while but found a new mod that only had forge and it's 1.20.1.

So my forge launcher is the issue, it's 1.20.1 as there was a mod I wanted, the newest version is 1.20.1 so I made a new launcher, I wanted vanilla tweaks as I really enjoy the aspects. I did it the same as I have a million times now,

Added the resource packs I wanted, downloaded them, added them to the resource pack folder. But when I go into the resource packs in the settings in game it doesn't even show up, at all.

My only thought is that it's because the game isn't at the newest version but I'm not sure if that actually matters,

I know it's compatible with the 3rd party launcher as I have used it before but maybe I've missed something?

I'm almost 22f and I just want to get away. I've visited nsw a few time. Got a best friend up there, but I want to live there full time. I can't live with her as she's with her parents in a 2 bed place. So no room for me.

She's in Wollongong, where is an affordable place to look?

My job experience has been dead en retail but I'm going to start a business administration course soon so I'll have that under my belt and on my resume.

I don't have a car yet but I plan to get one before I move. I have a medium size dog so I'll drive there with him. So housing needs to be dog friendly. An apartment is fine as he is mostly low energy but gets burst a few times a day. He has greyhound in him. A decent size apartment would be okay. His almost 3 and completely house trained.

What steps should I take before I move?
