On a dating app. Bumble or Plenty of Fish or Coffee Meets Bagel. I no longer remember.

I had just finished college and had proof and confidence that I had shed my desperation and insecurities. I was excited to date. Had intentions of dating a lot, sleeping around, finding a cool, low commitment consistent FWB or something.

I was set to be a menace and enjoy my heaux phase.

Tinder was full of bots, so I tried a few different apps, meta few girls, but hadn't really hit it off with anyone. I knew I liked weird/off kilter/nerdy girls. That much was certain.

So when I saw her tagline, which specifically asked for facts about a certain, semi obscure animal, I (excuse the pun) pounced And that was the greatest mistake I ever made.

She was a weirdo, to be sure. But like, a cool one. Self-confident. Curvy. With similar cultural experiences as me and a lot of similar interests and tastes. And I like the way she thought about things. She felt the same way.

After our second date I didn't wanna talk to other women. I didn't wanna play the field or sleep around or build a ho-tation. I just wanted her I wanted her to like me, to think about me, to want me too.

We've been married for 6 years now. She's still a lil goofy. Still very charming, very curious, and chubby curvy, and the person I most wanna hangout with on any given day.

Haters, assemble!!!!

Jokes aside, I want to know what drives you to inform the rest of a website, chat, forum, or thread, that you don't like/enjoy/want/do something.

I wanna hear what your impetus is.

Is the act cathartic? Do you have a personal, negative experience with the thing you're complaining about? Is the impulse automatic or do you think about it every time?

The question is only as serious as you make it, but I'm curious all the same.

I wonder why First Person Shooter of all things was the song that finally elicited a full diss verse from K Dot.

Or what happened for it to come on a (dope) Metro verse.

I'm not complaining at all. Hoping for a back and forth between him and Cole this summer

The verse itself is full of references though. I think that Click/B-Legit/E-40 line is my favorite though

Found this during the Reddit diaspora. Tried it for weeks. Left. Came back once a month. Still not committed to this place but i still check in and post.

Too much FOSS/Linux evangelism here. Still too little activity in communities centered on my interests. The vibes are... not great here but I'm not giving up on it. I just don't think "my" people are here yet

It's the NSFW Content. TBH.

The artists who draw the art/topics/proportions I'm into, and the IRL models with those proportions, don't exist on Mastodon. If they do I haven't found them. So Twitter still gets my horny clicks cause that content doesn't exist elsewhere.

It's tragic because those were two hyped New IPs that both staggered out of the gate and are unlikely to get sequels

I'll figure out which is better between windows 11 and 12 and then move to that

I bet you have some hella interesting workplace stories and hella banal, mundane ones

I'm glad they make LED parts for me and non LED parts for you. I'm personally very happy that so many components offer customizable lighting these days. At least for my desktop haha

If we're building PCs here, i wanna hear your opinions on (A)RGB LEDs. 5V, 12V, single color, addressable. MFing Lights.

What's your preferred amount? Just a few LED fans? Or some RGB RAM sticks? Maybe just on your CPU cooler? Or a single solitary LED strip?

Maybe you're like me. Maybe you need more. Maybe your build isn't complete unless everything is glowing and synced. LED strip, LED fans, CPU cooler, GPU, the works. Why can't a PC be functional and fun to look at?

Or maybe you want no LEDs at all. Maybe you're a Noctua fan. Maybe you cringe at the idea of PC components that light up more than absolutely necessary.

So let's hear it. How much lighting is enough? Is there such a thing as enough, or too much for you?

Thank you!

I wouldn't buy a 1070 for more than $100 in the US, let alone a 1060. There are a few 1660s around me near the $100 mark, and due to the pervasive Nvidia tax, much stronger AMD GPUs like the 5600 XT and 5700 can be had for under 140 even when the Nvidia equivalents (2060, 2070) are going for 200

Unfortunately we've reached the era where a 1070 can no longer hit 60 fps on 1080p max settings for several games. It's more or less a 1080p Medium settings card

If i can find one for under $90 I'll certainly consider it for this build. I'm not gonna use it. This is strictly for selling/giving away

What GPU would you pair with an i7 4790k without being ba ridiculous mismatch?

I helped someone build 2 PCs for themself and their spouse, and in return they gave me some spare parts they had lying around.

Those spare parts ended up including an i7 4790k, motherboard, and RAM.

i understand it's not 2014 anymore and that CPU is old right now, but I'd like to turn it into a modest gaming machine and give/sell it to someone as a cheap first gaming desktop.

I'm in the US. My first thought was something like a 1070, or an RX 580, but looking around Offerup there's also a few 1660s and 5600 XTs for cheap as well.

Looking for ideas for 1080p gaming. Ideally something that will be slightly bottlenecked by the CPU/RAM so that when the buyer upgrades the CPU/RAM/MB the GPU will still be relevant.

It's tough finding a question inconsequential enough to avoid raising their defenses but meaningful enough to elicit a real, useful response

  • "What is your biggest pet peeve that other people do?"
  • "How would your friends/coworkers/SO describe you?"
  • "What are you excited for?"

I think being able to draw a line from your classic albums to your modern hits is hella cool. Your list makes a lot of sense.
