i was trying to game on my pc a few months ago and just gave up due to the constant crashes on top of hours of wasted time trying to ‘resolve the issue’.
you can keep telling me how stupid and wrong i am, but my experience of PC gaming is it’s the same as it was in the 90s. the only games i don’t have tehcnical issues with are the indie ones, that don’t even need gpu to run.
my ps5… just works. everytime.
You need a standing desk that way can be a standup whatever
what were they to her then? government tracking chips?
because pc gaming is a huge pain in the ass.
console gaming is not.
some of us just want to play games. we don’t care about 120 fps bragging rights or spending hours resolving driver issues. console is superior experience for that.
doesn’t matter where you live, the people living in hell will force it down your throat because they want everyone else to be as miserable as they are.
yeah but more pictures of cats and dogs.
And that’s why California is considered ‘anti business’.
in the USA therapy typically isn’t available unless you have $500+ or more a month to spend.
Even if you can find a therapist who takes insurance, you will wait a year and it will still cost you $200-300.
one of my friend has a pretty elaborate garden setup.
he has a groundhog execution chamber too. he has to gas and kill about 6 of them each year.
I am a successful gardener.
You can’t and don’t want to eat 20lbs of tomato in a week. I use maybe 2-4lbs and the rest of it rots or has to be given away. I’m lucky if consume 1/4 of what I produce.
And that’s how crops come in, all at the same time in abundance. It’s not like you can pick 4 tomatoes each day and they just hang out for weeks on the vine. There is about a 4-6 week widow in which all the stuff you have spent 5 months growing, is edible off the vine. You start in April and then you don’t really get anything until August, and then by Mid Sept, the plants stop producing and are dead by Oct.
And if you want to preserve it, that’s a lot more work and you need the space and equipment to store dozens and dozens of jarred/canned veg. And at that point it’s no longer a small kitchen garden.
oh and by the way if you give me that ‘community sharing!’ stuff. no. literally everyone’s crops are also coming in at the same time. that’s why you see people leaving baskets of veg on the stops all around and nobody takes it, because they already have their own from their own gardens.
That is very different from a commercial farm who is able to have dozens of rotating crops and crop varieties with the expertise to manage it and also the ability to distribute it commercially.
Sometimes he is spot on, other times the guy seems like is just shrilling the therapy industrial complex, but hard to see how he couldn’t given he’s an influencer.
I think of it like physical therapy. If you do the work you eventually won’t need the therapist, that is the goal.
But a lot of people just refuse to do the work. But at least with a PT they won’t waste your time on years of PT if you aren’t trying to make progress.
You’re just paying too much money to vent at someone.
This is what a lot of folks in therapy want. They don’t want change, they just want someone to vent to and validate themselves.
I also notice… those are the same people who go around demanding and claiming everyone also needs therapy and that if you aren’t actively in therapy you are in denial about your issues or something.
Because I don’t want to hang out with weird and immature people. That’s why.
They will also eventually blame you if you become close to them. Because nothing is ever their fault.
Yep. She also tried to convince me I was abused as a child. I wasn’t. She was just trying to maximize my vulnerability to weaponize it so I couldn’t leave her, because she was one of those crazy co-dependent types.
No she was. On the surface. She was the only girlfriend I ever had who cooked, or bought me gifts, and who didn’t hate me for my hobbies and friends. Most women I meet on first dates reject me straight up for my hobbies and interests and many of my other girlfriends hated/resented me for them, and never in a million years would ever do something nice for me like buy me a gift.
I’m much happier being single. Since I went through therapy my salary has tripled and lots of other great things, but I still exclusively attract horrible women. I just don’t date them anymore. The biggest red flag now is I have a dog and a cat, and almost every woman who is interested in me HATES either dogs or cats, or both. On dating apps I regularly get messages like ‘oh hey would you get rid of your cat/dog if we hit it off?’ It’s wild. But at least now I spend my money on myself, and not trying to make some emotional black hole of a person ‘happy’ by buying them crap.
Yeah, that’s a good one. I’m usually not snappy enough to have a comeback when it happens.
But it is a good flag that I don’t want to interact with that person anymore, and they probably don’t want to interact with me anyway. I def have had a few relationships that ended over that type of response… and usually when you break up with them they start screaming and threatening you…
It was a decade ago. I moved on.
The big kicker, is this woman was a professional therapist. And the therapist I saw two years later… basically walked me though how she had violate every professional ethics code of therapy, and that was basically when I really was like ‘oh wow’.
She had repeated try to diagnose me to win arguments and manipulate me. The funniest part is when I would take the tests she gave me for whatever she thought i had and score way outside of them… because I was not anything, she was a terrible person trying to control me and freaking out that I wasn’t controllable. Hence why she resorted to violence finally, because that’s what abusers do once their abusive words stop working.
She also talked shit about her patients and colleagues in vivid detail. But at the time I was like 27, I had no clue about the ethics of therapy professionals and how fucked up what she was doing was. I was totally in love with her too, wtf did I know. What sucks is was the nicest person I have ever dated, still too this day. Every other woman I ever dated basically hates me overtly rather than tries to manipulate me.
Yes, a lot of people internalize things as their fault. I had that issue with relationships. I thought if my ex cheated on me, it was because I had failed or not tried hard enough… I was wrong.
Similar with abusive relationships. If you had been a better child dad/mom wouldn’t have beaten you… moving on is realizing that you had zero control over that situation and the fault was entirely your dad/mom. But a lot people can’t dissociate emotionally to begin to see things that way, esp if they are still hung up parental approval.
I’m in my 40s and it’s terrifying to me how many people I meet who are still hung up on parental approval or angry at their parents for not doing more for them… it’s pathetic.
You can’t change your past.
People who incessantly dwell on ‘what could have been’ or ‘should have been’ will never move forward. Often it’s not even trauma, it’s just that they feel like their past-life was ‘unfair’ because someone else had it better than them and they are aggrieved.
And my favorite part is when you are relatively happy and have let it go and they fault you for it, like you’re some asshole for not dwelling about someone did to you 20 years ago. A couple of years ago I met this girl from my high school randomly and she would kept bringing up all these things and people I had zero memory of that she was so mad about and was angry with me that I barely remembered any of it…
right, and if it doesn’t happen to you it happens to nobdoy else right?
literally any game that requires a GPU for me. across several PCs. I am too old to waste time with that shit anymore. Console gaming is way better for me, it just works.
and if PC gaming was so ‘cheap’ y’all wouldn’t be screaming and crying on here everyday about component prices going up
