Is this weird?

Aerobic exercise induces short- and long-term effects on mood and emotional states by promoting positive affect, inhibiting negative affect, and decreasing the biological response to acute psychological stress.[13] Over the short-term, aerobic exercise functions as both an antidepressant and euphoriant,[14][15][16][17] whereas consistent exercise produces general improvements in mood and self-esteem.[18][19]

In popular culture and media, dopamine is often seen as the main chemical of pleasure, but the current opinion in pharmacology is that dopamine instead confers motivational salience;[3][4][5] in other words, dopamine signals the perceived motivational prominence (i.e., the desirability or aversiveness) of an outcome, which in turn propels the organism's behavior toward or away from achieving that outcome.[5][6]

There is nothing wrong with your television set.
Just a bit less held back than usual. Possibly confusing the extent of attraction and pleasure, but no precedent has been set, by far.

Facebook is really beginning to suck big time!

I'm not very technical, as you prob know, but is guess that memories thing would be an app, although I don't recall choosing it, and have tried many ways to disable it.
It posts less than it used to as I always select the 'I want to see less of this' option, but I'd really like to have none of it.

Is this something you obtained from fb?

Oh, right, sorry. Here's the link:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/fbflu...
And this is their site, if you'd like to read a bit more, or if you have a different browser.
https://www.fbpurity.com/
https://www.fbpurity.com/install.htm

By app, I meant using fb on a smartphone - this solution was created only for pcs, as phones' apps don't permit any sort of fiddling ordinarily. It's a bit challenging to get rid of ads there, even.
An independent developer created it. The company would have little interest in anyone filtering out sponsored ads and content.

And don't worry, it's quite straightforward to use. Once installed, go to your profile home page, and there will be a little line after create post on the right, "F.B. Purity hid: 0 app [ Show ] 0 extra [ Show ] ⇔"
The arrow expands / shrinks the view, and clicking on the fb purity link will open a page with many filtering & customisation tickboxes. Hover the cursor over a tickbox to show what it does. In general, checked means hide that particular sort of content. Ads come pre-ticked 'fcourse, and the memories are under "Various post types" -> "Shared a memory" + "Your memory" prolly (would recommend reviewing the entire list once). Press "save changes" when you're done, which will refresh the page.
If there's any problem, let me know.

There doesn't seem to be a way to deactivate it that actually works.

I've just obtained a chrome extension called "fb purity". As far as I can tell, it has a filter for every single type of feed item in existence (shared a memory, your memories, trending posts, photos by subject matter or user to name a few). If you're referring to the app variety though, I'm not sure.

Should I stay or should I go?

You've worked several stressful jobs in the past, one of them as an accountant I believe. If it's somewhat above minimum, I don't quite understand wherefore you'd be haemorrhaging money to such an extent. No offspring, mayhap medical expense, debt or the business?
I don't mean to pry, nor saying that you should go down with the ship, just concerned beyond the dry arithmetic of this decision.

My samsung a9 phone's screen broke , the staff at samsung said if they fix the screen , the data will be erased , but due to the pin lock screen , i cant transfer data anywhere without unlocking(which

I'd had a bit of time to prepare ere the screen became completely nonreactive in the past (with a great deal of fiddling), and so turned off the lock asap. My first experience of losing a usb & subsequent project rebuild was sufficiently instructive.
A handy little tool is scrcpy (or vysor) - if you'd used it before and set the device to trust a computer, you could unlock the screen through that.
How much stuff do you have there that isn't backed up?

Oh, a micro usb adapted mouse doesn't seem to require confirmation, that's perfect.

Would a straight woman keep checking out another woman?

You've established a theory, observed the facts which may conform to it and discarded the rest. It is a good way to arrive at the wrong conclusions.

Do you hate her guts?

how many steps would it take to walk to the moon?

A few interview questions (possibly from google):

How many golf balls can fit in a school bus?

Imagine you have a closet full of shirts. It’s very hard to find a shirt. So what can you do to organize your shirts for easy retrieval?

Quickly estimate 2^64 without using a pen/paper.

Let's talk about victim shaming.

I have jested anent & belittled a host of grievous matters, but never this one. In humanity have never put much faith. One may gather a few close friends and family members for trust & support, and that's about as much guaranteed.
I'm grateful to you for sharing this narrative. Meseems you've handled that situation quite courageously, though it has left its marks undoubtedly (as mentioned).

Is there anybody out there

From a solipsistic perspective, unlikely.

I’m in love with my vet.

No. Not yet. I keep going back and forth about it. I really like him but I’m scared he won’t like me if he finds out I’m about 4 1/2 years older.

I can relate to your concerns, in a way - in general, I'd rather take a hundred detours than face someone with the prospect of failure / rejection.
However, with regard to age, humans don't come with a display gauge denoting their current mileage (yet). I'm inclined to believe that beneath this alibi lies a deep sense of insecurity; mayhap in your perceived external appearance, or fear of a blunder. It would be presumptuous on my part to know with certainty what course of action would be preferable in any case; can only suggest to know your limits, and when you shouldn't let them dictate your path.
