  • I was the "gifted" kid. Constantly told I was so smart for my age, or how quickly I'd pick up what I'm being shown. Always showered with a praise I didn't feel like I earned, and never feeling a need to improve or a want to learn better. Cause I was constantly told how I was "so smart".

    Then grade 10 came up, and I failed two classes. One of them was math, a course I previously excelled in. The other was history, something I knew I was awful at. Those praises turned into questions of "you're able to do this, why didn't you?" And "You're smarter than this, aren't you?" I missed out on an intro to engineering cause I had to take 1 on 1 catch up classes the following semester to make up for it.

    I eventually did pass my math course, and never did do much better than a grade 10 level. History, I passed by 2%. You need 30 out of 36 possible credits to graduate, I made it with 30 and a half credits. My last class was an intro to anthropology, and I only passed with a 56%.

    "Gifted kid" is a bullshit title given to you by people who don't understand that just because you can learn something at a young age, doesn't mean you are gifted in the art of learning.

  • PlayStation has a feature where each account has a "primary console". Games that are purchased on an account can be played by that specific account on any console, or can be played by any account on the primary console.

    Everyone plays on the same console? Great, that should be everyone's primary console. So offspring A buys a game on their profile, offspring B can play it.

    If offspring A goes somewhere and logs into their account on another PS5 console, offspring A can download and play their game, but no one else can play it on that other console.

    If offspring B plays a game on their account and creates a save, offspring A can't log into their own account and mess with offspring B's save.

    Lone villager won't restock

    I've got a library with a few villagers in it, one among them simply will not restock his Mending books. I've tried removing every other workbench, I've placed a bed under him, I've placed a bed in line of sight, I've stayed in the chunk he's in and slept for several days. Nothing seems to work.
