Es raro no tener amistades ? No encajo en grupos, miro que todos tienen sus grupitos y de repente me siento solo, a mi me gusta estarlo pero de repente no sé si es por la presión social o por de verdad quererlo pero aveces se siente muy solo y humillante por alguna razón como si yo fuera el problema cuando en realidad soy amable, educado, etc. no soy la persona más cae mal ni bicho raro para no encajar Simplemente no entiendo

2024.11.30 03:50 mcni8 Airbnb Refund Issue
Hi, hoping someone on this forum can help me with this.
Few months ago, I made a reservation for end of the year using personal credit card 1 from Country A. I made the initial payment to book the reservation using Google Pay that had Personal Credit Card 1 in it.
Due to changes in work, I had to relocate to country B.
Personal Credit Card 1 is now no longer active as it had to be closed.
I now need to cancel the reservation as the trip is no longer happening.
My Google Pay is now configured with payment profile of Country B and all the cards from Country B.
I called Airbnb and they said they will issue refund but it will go to Google Pay and find out how this will be addressed.
Kindly help clarify.

2024.11.30 03:50 Amber_Flowers_133 Facts about Florence Welch
She’s of English,Scottish,Irish,Northern Irish,1/16th Ashkenazi Jewish,1/16th Lithuanian and Welsh descent
She suffers from dyspraxia.
Andy Warhol was a close friend of her mother.
Her favorite song on Ceremonials is "Only If for a Night" and she was very excited when Rihanna covered it.
Has two siblings, Grace and J.J., and four stepsiblings, Maddie, Sam, John, and Nick.
Her mother, Evelyn Welch, is an American art historian, and her father, Nick Russell Welch, is an English advertising executive.
Her uncle, her mother's brother, is actor John Stockwell.
She’s a natural brunette.
For her album "How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful," producer Markus Dravs disallowed her to write any more water-themed songs, which Florence did for some of her previous albums. However, she was able to include the song "Ship to Wreck," which she described as "not so explicit" in regards to water.
She broke her foot while performing at the Coachella festival in April 2015, after leaping off the stage. However, she decided to not cancel any of her touring schedules, but she had to perform cautiously until the injury was healed.
She used to sing at weddings and funerals as a child.
She wrote "Hunger" initially as a poem. Upon realizing the impact of the text, she turned it into a song instead. It later became the fifth song of her band to reach #1 of the Billboard charts in the category "Adult Alternative Songs".
She came up with her band's name about an hour before they had their first gig. Initially, she considered using Florence Robot which was based on a joke between her and Isabella Summers. However, she found that name too long and later decided at the last minute to use Florence and the Machine as the name of the band.
Revealed that she used to drink alcohol before every performance. On February 2, 2014, she quit drinking and has been sober ever since.
She has both British and American citizenship.
She has said that her mother doesn't listen to her music.
Her paternal grandmother encouraged her to pursue a career in singing and performing arts.
The cover artwork of her album "Ceremonials" is on permanent display at the National Portrait Gallery in London.
On July 13, 2022, she received an honorary degree from the Camberwell College of Arts.
Counts artists like Billie Holiday, Etta James, and Nina Simone among her earliest influences
Before forming the band Florence + the Machine, she was a solo artist going by the name Florence Robot Was a Machine.
While many of her songs and performances contain religious imagery, she revealed that the is not religious herself.
Enjoys crowd surfing so much that she is often doing it during her concerts. She revealed that it once went so far that she got accidentally carried out of a show.
Friends with Taylor Swift.
She’s best friends with Blake Lively.
Welch has been compared to other singers such as Kate Bush,Stevie Nicks,Siouxsie Sioux,PJ Harvey,Shirley MansonAlison Goldfrapp, Tori Amos and Björk.
When describing Lungs, Welch said, "When I was writing these songs, I used to refer to myself as Florence 'Robot...because I really like what a machine thinks organic instruments really sound like."
Welch has a contralto voice.
In 2023, Rolling Stone ranked Welch at number 128 on its list of the 200 Greatest Singers of All Time.
Influences
During interviews, Welch has cited singers Grace Slick, Alanis Morissette, Patti Smith, and Stevie Nicks as influences and "heroes."
She told Rolling Stone in 2010, "I'm pretty obsessed with Stevie Nicks, from her style to her voice. I like watching her on YouTube and her old performances, the way she moves and everything."
Florence wrote "Patricia" on the band's 2018 album High as Hope about Smith, whom she describes as her "north star".
She has also listed in her early influences the likes of John Cale, Otis Redding, Siouxsie Sioux, Courtney Love, David Byrne, and Lou Reed.
In a review of Ceremonials, Jody Rosen of Rolling Stone described Florence and the Machine's style as "dark, robust and romantic", deeming the ballad "Only If for a Night" as a mix of "classic soul and midnight-on-the-moors English art rock".
Welch stated that her lyrics related to Renaissance artists : "We're dealing with all of the same things they did: love and death, time and pain, heaven and hell".
Welch has used religious imagery in her music and performances, though she has stated, "I'm not a religious person. Sex, violence, love, death, are the topics that I'm constantly wrestling with, it's all connected back to religion."
Nick Welch, her father, contributed a "rock and roll element to the family mix"; in his twenties, he lived in a West End squat and attended the Squatters' Ball organised by Heathcote Williams where the 101ers played regularly.
A self-confessed "frustrated performer", if Nick, as he put it, "nudged Flo in any way, it's only been to listen to the Ramones rather than Green Day."
Evelyn, Welch's mother, had an equally strong, yet completely different influence on her daughter. A visit to one of her mother's renaissance lectures left teenage Florence deeply impressed. She explained, "I aspire to something like that, but with music. I hope that my music has some of the big themes—sex, death, love, violence—that will still be part of the human story in 200 years' time."
Image
Welch is known for her distinctive clothing style, often performing concerts wearing light Gucci dresses, barefoot and without jewellery.
Vogue described her style as Bohemian and called her "the queen of Bohemian style."
Discussing her fashion style Welch said, "For the stage, it's The Lady of Shalott meets Ophelia... mixed with scary gothic bat lady. But in real life I'm kind of prim."
Welch often mixes artistic influences both in her fashion style and music, with a strong nod towards the style of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.
2011 saw Gucci dressing her for her summer tour and a performance at the Chanel runway show at Paris Fashion Week.
Welch describes 1970s American drag queen troupe the Cockettes and French chanson singer Françoise Hardy as fashion mentors.
Welch has also named Fleetwood Mac member Stevie Nicks as being a musical, fashion and general influence.
Welch can sometimes be seen in concert paying homage to Nicks' famous billowing stage dress.
Welch has spoken about being a "fantasist" as a child, "[I was constantly reading books, thinking, "I'm not a mermaid. I can't breathe underwater. I can't fly." One of the saddest and most heartbreaking things is that I remember really wanting to be able to magically change my appearance."
She said that this impacted her image and sound.
Her style and mannerisms have led fans and the media comparing her to a witch,a mermaid and a fairy.
Welch considers herself an introvert, and is passionate about reading and literature. She has held many events with her fan-run book club, Between Two Books. "It's a huge generalization to say that all readers are introverts; I'm sure there's a lot of extroverted bookworms out there, but, for me, it's nice to know people of similar inclinations can actually come together in a social way and talk about something that is inherently solitary."
Although many of her songs contain Christian themes and elements, Welch has said she is an agnostic and does not follow any particular religion.
I went to Catholic school, and the first songs I remember liking were hymns. I find it's nice to mix the mundane and the magical, the irrelevant with the huge themes. Sex, love, death, marriage, guilt—mix that with seeing a huge sky or going for a walk or turning the page of a book. Living is dealing with the everyday and the notion that you're going to die.
Welch has been open about her struggles with anxiety and depression, as well as with alcohol. Though she has been sober since 2014,many of her songs reflect these issues.
In 2019, she discussed her panic attacks in an interview with Sinéad Burke. She explained, "My hands go tingly, my lips go tingly. I sort of think that it's very serious and I'm about to die and I have to lie on the floor and breathe...I know I'm having a panic attack, really. But I also really want someone to take me to hospital."
Welch has also openly spoken of her struggles with anorexia nervosa, with her 2018 song "Hunger" detailing her experiences. In a 2022 interview with The Independent, Welch stated that while she considered herself recovered from the condition, "anorexic thinking" still formed a part of her everyday life.
In 2015, Welch broke her foot after leaping off the stage at the Coachella Festival.
She revealed that she used to drink alcohol before every performance, telling Billboard: "I'm quite shy, really—that's probably why I used to drink a lot. But I don't any more. When I finally took time off to make this new record, I had time to strengthen. And when I was coming back into the fray, I really didn't want to lose that. I thought I could go dive-bomb back into it, but look what happened. I dived into it and literally broke myself."
In 2022, Welch was awarded and accepted an honorary fellowship from University of the Arts London.
On August 28, 2023, Welch posted a statement to her personal Instagram account
It included an apology for the cancellation of the band's 25 August and 26 August performances in Zurich and Paris: "I'm so sorry that I had to cancel the last couple of shows. My feet are fine, I had to have emergency surgery for reasons I don't really feel strong enough to go into yet, but it saved my life."
Welch was in an on-and-off relationship with literary editor Stuart Hammond. Their first breakup came in 2009; they got back together but permanently split in 2011.
Welch was devastated following the split, but she and Hammond remain friends.
In 2012, she began dating events planner James Nesbitt.
They broke up around 2014.
Around that time, Welch started dating guitarist Felix White; the relationship lasted until 2018.
As of 2022, she lives in South London with her boyfriend, who has remained anonymous.

2024.11.30 03:50 LowHistorian9654 Can Someone Explain the Science Behind Beauvaria Bassiana?
So, I get that if a bed bugs crosses into anything that was sprayed with Aprehend/Beauvaria Bassiana that they will get infected by it and then die. But, how does that work? What is the science behind it?
Also, if a bed bug gets infected with it, do the spores that are being propagated inside of the bed bug spread like an airborne contagion amongst its peers? Or are those spores only spreadable if they were ONLY on their exoskeleton and not from the spores breeding inside of them? Basically what I'm getting at is: the spores that are newly forming inside a bed bug ALSO being transmitted? Or is it only being spread by what it picks up on its shell?

2024.11.30 03:50 Apprehensive-State87 Critical alerts for followers?
I'm a newish diabetic (5 months, 22f) and a dexcom g7 user. I live away from my family with my sister, who is a heavy sleeper and often sleeps over with friends. Until I move in with my fiancé next summer, I want her, my fiancé, and my mom (who lives far away but worries, and is the fastest to check up on me when I sleep through a low alarm) to get critical low alerts. This works great during the day, but they can't get alerts overnight without leaving their phone sounds on, which is really disrupting my mother's sleep, and the other two don't remember to turn off vibrate every night.
My sister and fiancé tend not to get the alerts until the next morning, which is not useful if I'm critically low and not waking up, as they're the closest by with access to my apartment! I'd like any suggestions for settings changes or alternate devices to act the way critical alerts do on my phone, where they can get the 55mg/dL or lower alerts only. I've heard of the sugar pixel, but I don't think my mom having a constant easy access view of my blood sugar in her room is healthy for either of us. TIA!

2024.11.30 03:50 Lazy-Many9202 Navier is not a revolutionary
Navier is not a revolutionary, she is a 24-year-old woman trying to do what she can with the tools she already has.
She was indoctrinated to think and not oppose norms which she did not believe, since that is how the empire is kept functional.
Do you really think that Navier, already having several limitations as empress due to sovieshu, and being a simple woman, was going to end slavery?
When the greatest power that was the church did not oppose this, when the commoners did not have problems with this?
Do you really think that you could have ended a system which was functional for its time and everyone supported it?
To some extent Navier's position is realistic, since she was not going to put the noose around her neck by opposing the greatest authority figure, which was the church and sovieshu.

I was sitting out under the stars tonight and I saw a plane's lights but it did not appear on flightradar24. I assume it was probably some military plane or similar but thought I would check with the experts. I am confident it was not a satellite.
