I factory reset my iPad so that I can connect to my goddamn WiFi.

It doesn't work.

I want to scream. That's 4 years of data down the drain in vain.

I just got to thinking about how I have a ton of boardgames that I've never played because I only have about three friends offline and I only see them a little less than once a year.

You couldn't back it up to a computer!?

Lately it seems all my friends are talking about their relationships/wanting relationships and I don't know I just feel a lot lonelier than usual? I don't know, I just really crave romantic interactions and yet I have no real way to act on that desire ;-; also I'm worrying myself again because I keep irrationally thinking that no one's ever going to want to like be with me romantically and haha it's fun

i feel you, man

Backed some important stuffs. It was still a bit painful. Kind of like selling your firstborn to the Satan and getting double-crossed. I mean, I just sacrificed all my data to be able to connect to WiFi, and I still can't.

Even Satan make good on his deal. Apple is worse.

I want to drink one of the cartons of iced coffee I bought today, but it's an hour 'til bedtime and it might keep me awake.
I mean, it probably won't... but isn't that a typical coffee thing to do?

[TheBiggerFish]

Well, how do you react to coffee?

Not to add insult to injury, but you did make sure to run through basic troubleshooting steps like checking it on a different WiFi network that other people can connect to first right? Because it's totally possible that the problem was not with your iPhone, but was with the WiFi network. And in fact if a factory reset didn't fix the problem then it is indeed very likely that the problem is one of two things:
1) The WiFi itself has a problem somewhere
2) You have a physical problem with the iPhone hardware
You could eliminate #2 by simply checking on a different WiFi source that you know other people (preferably on iPhones) are able to connect to. If you can connect there, then it's most likely a problem with the WiFi itself, and if you can't then you know it's most likely a physical hardware problem.

So somehow resetting the network setting after factory resetting fixes the problem.

Huh.

You never truly realize how much you depend on somebody until they're not there.

Nice to see I can vent about my brother putting me and his friend in actual immediate physical danger and people won't take it seriously.
