I am well

I don't want advice but I was thinking, because I'm probably not going to visit this place anymore (frequent 4channer since 2008 but only began coming here in late 2023 when this issue started and I probably won't come back again), if anyone need advice from me, I could help
I think what helped me might actually also help others so it would be a shame to just bounce now that I am well
8 months was solved in 21 seconds when I realized what the issue was, and I posted all of it in real time in that thread

I am eternally grateful to that anon who patiently talked with me and caused me to think
What do you guys think anons?
