Is my XBox One or TV malfunctioning?
In the attached image, my screen has been doing that more and more often. It usually turns back to normal after a few seconds. It has been taking longer and longer to turn back though. Typically it only does this with my Xbox One. It has happened a few times with my Amazon Fire TV Stick though. I don't know if it's the same thing though because I use Direct TV Now and maybe the stream is just buffering and I interpret it as the same type of error. It looks similar though. In both cases, if you look closely the TV is not frozen on the very bottom when this happens in all cases.
Do I need a new TV or Xbox?
Thank you.
1 AnswerXbox3 years agoWhere can I find the original version of Eminem's song "My Name Is?"?
When I say original I mean the version where he says "my English teacher wanted to have sex with me in junior high, the only problem was my English teacher was a guy." Then he goes on to say something about raping lesbians.
I believe I have an MP3 somewhere where the lesbians part is not cut, but the other part is. I may be remembering incorrectly though.
I thought one could get the original version from the Slim Shady LP album so I went to FYE and bought it, but it's cut even though I got the explicit version.
I've done some research and it seems it was never released. Except maybe in Europe or in early cassettes.
Was the original version ever released on a CD in the U.S.? Should I buy a European import?
I know there are some Youtube videos of the version.
Thank you.

2 AnswersCell Phones & Plans6 years agoWhat do you think is a solution to our illegal immigration problem?
I have two solutions in mind that I deem to be acceptable solutions.
The first is that we must start by securing the borders (north and south) in whatever way is needed; be it increased patrols, more officers, a fence, an electronic fence, etc. I think that minefields would be a good option for the most desolate areas. Yes, I'm aware that minefields are against international law, and I don't care.
Then, Congress must pass a law making it a felony to enter or reside in this country illegally.
Then, we allow a certain amount of time, 90 days for example, for all illegal aliens residing in this country to register as illegals. At this time they will then undergo any necessary judicial preceding that then results in them being convicted felons. However, during this time period the illegal aliens that register will not be arrested, deported, imprisoned, etc. and they get to stay. However, their punishment is that they are convicted felons and any residual effects along with this background; such as, not being allowed to vote, regardless of citizenship. I'm not even sure if felons can become citizens?
Any illegal found after this grace period is to be arrested, prosecuted, and deported.
My second solution is my preferred one. The first two steps are the same as above. However, the final step is to find, detain, and deport all illegal aliens in this country.

14 AnswersHistory7 years agoDo you find it interesting that both scientific and religious theories are dead ends?
What I mean is that science believes that the origins of the universe derive from the Big Bang. Which is the theory that the universe started from nothing which than exploded. Since one of the principles of science is that nothing can come from nothing that leads to a dead end. Religion preaches that God created the universe but God is a being that you and I have never seen nor is there any proof that he exists or doesn't. Another dead end.
Thoughts?
17 AnswersReligion & Spirituality7 years agoDo you believe that the creation of a standard tax system is one of the main reasons society has advanced?
I'm currently taking a class on Tudor-Stuart England and I learned that during this period there was no standard tax and the king would only ask Parliament for a tax when he needed to fund a war or something like that.
Well I was sitting in class today I realized that a tax system is the only reason we have things like defense, roads, medical care, transportation, etc. on a wide scale. If it weren't for a standard tax system that collects taxes annually then we would have to get these things after we realize we needed them instead of prior to that realization or maybe we wouldn't even get them at all and some places would be much more advanced then others.
The many modern amenities that we have are thanks to funds which are collected through Taxes. Is it reasonable to argue that one big reason for collective societal advancement is due to a standard tax system?

1 AnswerMental Health8 years agoI'm going to see a mental health professional for the first time?
Hello.
A few days ago I asked this question:
question:http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Artl3...
If you want to read it to get the full story feel free but that's not absolutely necessary.
I've decided that I should get help for my anxiety and/or depression and possible OCD (I'm pretty sure I have OCD; although I've never been diagnosed).
I went to my regular doctor who gave me some pills to help with my anxiety and he mentioned that they help with depression too because anxiety and depression often run hand in hand. He also said that the pills he gave me have also been known to help with OCD but are not specifically designed for that condition. My doctor also told me that I may want to consider visiting some type of mental health professional.
I was planning on talking about it with him more during my follow-up appointment but I was hoping to talk to one of my local college counseling center doctors about an immediate issue I was having. When I went to my local college counseling center they told me they were closed in the summer. So I then decided to call my doctor and just get a referral to whomever he would suggest. I got one but the person my regular doctor recommended couldn't see me until 6/20. Although I've still kept the appointment that's way too long to wait so my mom recommended using a service called EAP (Employee Assistance Program) that my dad's job offers. I called them and they told me that they will try to find me someone to help me with my anxiety and/or depression and OCD and who I can meet with this week.
They found me a local therapist who when I searched advertises herself as a marriage and family therapist and is who is a certified LMFT. Maybe I'm reading too much into the "marriage and family therapist" title but I'm wondering if this is the right person for me and given my situation. I've been reading stuff about her on the internet and she seems to do a lot more then just couples counseling but I know nothing about the field of mental health so I'm skeptical.
Am I reading too much into her advertised title of "marriage and family therapist"?
What is an LMFT?
Is this the right type of doctor for me?
What should I expect at my first visit?
I'm not much of an open type of person. I don't want to tell this women my life story and I don't like people prying into my life story but then again I think I do need help so maybe I should just adjust?
Thank you.

Other - General Health Care8 years agoWhat should I do..............?
I've been struggling with anxiety lately. A little over a month ago I had my first anxiety attack that was caused by a bad reaction I thought I was having to a blood drawing; however my blood was drawn four hours prior to my anxiety attack so nothing in reality was actually happening. I went to an emergency walk-in clinic that day and then to my usual doctor and they both found nothing wrong. They both did mention anxiety as a possible cause. That made me tell my mom about all my worries and how it's so bad that I want drugs to fix it.
I then went back to the doctor for a recap on my blood work and we talked about my possible anxiety and I told him that I didn't think I had any type of disorder or anything and that I've felt great since my anxiety attack because I had learned that worrying can really hurt so I haven't been worrying and I've been very clear headed. I told him that I've had some smaller anxiety attacks since the first one that I was able to control.
My anxiety steadily got worse though. I started feeling sick all the time, I didn't feel like I could function anymore and I overall felt like I couldn't do life anymore. I don't mean that in any suicidal way; I mean I think I just reached my limit. I was exhausted all the time: I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep, I was just miserable.
I then started a new job right at this time. I hate my new job. It's not a me type of job: it's outside all day in the heat and at the beach (all three of those things I hate). After my first day I wanted to quit. Not because I had a bad first day or because I was too hot; those aren't good reasons, but because I was afraid to go to work the next day because I was terrified of having another anxiety attack. I was at work for eight hours thinning the whole day "now I'm going to have an attack, no, now going to have an attack." I couldn't bear the thought of going back to work and going through that fear again and for the rest of the summer (I have a part time summer job). I also was bothered by my loss of my ability to suck it up. I don't quit things. I have another job that I also hate and have been at for five years (also part time). But I didn't feel like I could suck it up anymore and I wanted to quit.
I told my mom all this and I also decided to tell her about the OCD and depression that I know I've had for years: depression for at least seven years and OCD my entire life, I'm 21. I thought to my self right before I told my mom about the anxiety attributed to my new job that I didn't have to tell her about the OCD and depression but I decided to because I need help for that too and I've needed help for it for a long time and I decided it was finally time for me to say something (but I almost left it out, thank God I didn't and finally said something).
I decided that I was going to call my doctor on Tuesday (this past Tuesday) to tell him about my increased anxiety, OCD and depression. My mom told me to try to get in that day and what luck the morning of Tuesday I had another really bad anxiety attack and went to the doctor anyway. I then told him about my problems.
He gave me some pills to help with the anxiety and he told me that they will also help with the OCD and depression but he also said that he's not the type of doctor to treat OCD and depression effectively nor are these pills a complete treatment for them but they have been known to help with it but that's not what their for by design. He said he could refer me to some type of mental health professional. I have a follow-up visit soon where I will take a referral. My doctor also gave me a note to excuse me from work for a week so I could see how the pills effect me and regather myself.
The problem now is that I'm thinking of quiting my new job. I have another one but their aren't a lot of hours in the summer but I still have one other. My new job is very simple, all I do is check beach parking stickers and help people move their sailboats if needed. However, I really hate; as I said I hate the heat, I hate being outside, I hate the beach. etc. This past week when I've gone outside I've had two anxiety attacks triggered by the heat, I then took my pill to calm me down and it worked but they still happened and that's a problem. I don't think it was just the heat itself that triggered them, I think it was that I thought it was really hot and then I thought this is what it will be like for me all day at work and then that caused the anxiety. I still can't stand the thought of being at work all day either popping pills or thinking when my next attack will come.
1 AnswerMental Health8 years agoWhat's wrong with me?

I really need your help. Thank you.
I don't really know where to begin...
I've been feeling very sick lately. I feel sick all the time. I can’t eat, I can’t sleep. I feel so out of it and on edge; I don't feel like I can do life anymore, like I just want to go to sleep now and never wake-up. I don't mean that in any type of suicidal way, I just mean that I feel so exhausted and tired, I don't feel like I can function properly anymore, I feel like I've lost control. I’ve grown used to feeling sick all the time because of a thyroid condition I have but recently I can’t handle whatever is wrong with me. Think of when you feel under the weather; that’s my normal feeling but now I actually feel like I’m sick. I don’t feel like I’m in good health and for the first time in my life I’m afraid for my health. I think part of it is my thyroid but much more.
I think I may have some type of depression and/or anxiety. A month ago yesterday I had a panic attack for the first time (I’ve had a few small ones that I’ve controlled since then). This panic attack had nothing to do with my usual worries; it happened because I thought I was having a bad reaction to a blood drawing I had earlier in the day. My blood was drawn four hours before it happened so it had nothing to do with it in reality. I went to an emergency walk-in clinic and then to my usual doctor and they both found nothing wrong. My doctor did mention anxiety as a possible cause and that made me later mention to my mom how I feel like I can't function anymore because of my worries and that it's so bad I want drugs to fix it. I later would go back to the doctor for a recap of my blood work and we talked about my anxiety at that time too. I told him that my attack was a wake-up call and I've learned that worrying really hurts and I've been relaxed that whole time since then. This was all true until recently when all my problems have come back and seem to be worse. I did have another appointment for a physical last week where I mentioned feeling more anxious to my doctor but I told him I was managing it, which was true but now as of this week I feel like I've reached a new point that I can't handle anymore. I think prior to now it's been worse than I've let on but I've never really been good at opening up and I've always tried to suck it up (not just for this but for everything in life) but now I don't feel like I can do that anymore. I feel like I've lost control.
Yesterday I started a new job which I hate. All I do is check parking stickers at the beach and help people move their sailboats if needed but I still really hate it. It's not a me type of job: I hate being outside (which I am all day), I hate the heat, I hate the beach, I just hate it. The entire time at work I still feel very anxious. I sit their fearing another anxiety attack, as I do all the time, but I just don't feel comfortable there I feel like being there makes it worse but then again I feel sick all the time and even if I wasn't there I would feel horrible. The old me (prior to whatever is wrong with me) would have sucked it up and would make due. The old me would have believed I made a commitment and should stick to it no matter what but I don't feel like I can do that anymore, I just can't. Today I have off but my boss called me to ask me if I could work since someone called in sick. I told her I couldn't. I feel bad for doing this, the old me would had been there and would had been happy to be there whether I hated the job or not because I could suck it up but now I can't. I really want to quit this job since I don't want to do it the whole summer but I'm going to give it more time and if needed I will quit and tell my boss I have a conflict with my other job (I have two jobs but my other one doesn't have a lot of hours in the summer). Should I quit my new job? I don’t think I should unless it becomes a real bad problem. I’m going to fill out a few applications around the town I live in and I hope I’ll find something else but if I don’t I don’t think I should quit my job unless, as I said, it becomes a real problem. Although I have already started doing applications for other places.

I think I've had anxiety and/or depression for years (since I was like 14 maybe, now I'm 21) and I've just sucked it up; sometimes it was really bad and other times it was not a big issue but regardless I handled it. I don’t feel like I can do that anymore.
I don’t have anyone I can talk to about this; although I feel like that would help (I don’t have any friends, people don’t like me). I got to a point about three years ago where I really needed someone to talk to but I had no one so I sucked it up and pushed through. I’ve only tried to reach out to another person twice. Both times were within the last year and those people told me I was annoying and to go away. I know there under no obligation to help me and that it’s selfish of me to even ask and that if I’m annoying then I deserve it so I can’t really be mad at them but I am disappointed. I never specifically said the words “I need your help” to the first person but I did to the second person and the result was still the same.
