Bought a 2022 corolla, and one of my problems is that I work 1 month away, which means the car have to be parked for a month.
And I heard that the 12v battery can die within two weeks. Like are there some features that can be turned off? Or can I unplug the battery? Is it hard?
Like how risky would it be risking it? Also considering I live in Norway, and we can have some cold winters.
What are your experiences?
Is there a way to revert updates on IOS? Or do they have an option to use old gui? It’s so fucking bad.
Who in their right mind thought these changes were necessary
Okay
First and foremost, I do not blame any streamers or anyone, let me get this clear. But the normalization these past years are insane
I already had early signs, stole my parents and friends money to gamble on CS:GO, I first started when I was around 13? Maybe. And have never taken any of it seriously. Like I am at the point where I just gamble just to gamble, no reaction whether losing or winning, no matter results. Like I feel nothing
I also always told myself I wasn’t addicted, because you see all these videos etc, about these gambling addicts. And the thing they have in common is that they always talk about how they lost big amounts. Like 1000++ in a session. You never hear about the type of addiction that start small (yes you can be addicted even though you don’t gamble hundreds of dollars a week)
And unfortunately, I got late diagnosed with adhd and autism, which also greatly increases addiction risks, if only I knew from a young age.
But it all started getting worse around 2020? When some streamers started playing on this casino called Stake. And for me, it was super entertaining, I had it on all day, and I even used it as background. Like I was laying in my bed trying to go to bed, while listening to people screaming "book, book, book"
And as stupid as I was, I made an account, and for a long time I started small. Deposited 20$ every once in a while. I played slots while I was watching these streamers do slots, and some time goes by and I average maybe 20$ every day, which every now and then I could repo upto 100.
But I never thought anything of it, as it wasn’t "a lot of money", but at the end of the month I would look in my bank account confused, not knowing how 2000$ could just disappear, like I couldn’t fathom it.
And it’s easy to say just quit, Well I did ban myself from some casino’s but I always managed to trick myself by making new accounts. And right now I banned myself from all the casinos I am currently on. And if you are interested in stats
I am currently 24, live at home and since 2020 I have deposited and played with over 153k usd, and worst part. I have nothing to show for it. All my possesions I have is bought from my wages. I genuinely don’t think I have "withdrawn" anything as if I win, I always use my winnings to continue.
And it’s worse at my work. Like I fucking hate my job. I work on a supply ship, and it sucks. Total regrets all around (career choices etc etc) and when I am at work I am much more vulnerable, like if I am depressed one day at work, I can easily burn through 200$ in 30 minutes, and after have no memory of it.
I could go all day by this, but there is too much to say, I will answer any questions. So let me end with this. Recognize early signs. You can be addicted even though you don’t gamble hundreds of dollars, and get help.
Especially if you are on the spectrum as I am. It can be hard and sometimes impossible to help yourself. And I genuinely don’t know how much more I can take
