So you’re saying you lie to try and change reality or present it in a different way?

That’s horrible and I certainly don’t subscribe to this mentality. I will discuss things with people with an open mind and a willingness to change positions if presented with new information.

We are not arguing out of some tribal belief, we have our morals and we will constantly test them to try and be better humans for our fellow humans.

Yeah OP said they had a late shower that night which get my mind out of the gutter.

Thanks for the answer.

I find it fascinating to graph things like this and the trends you can notice. Which further highlights how big corporations are able to make insane predications because of the sheer number of data points they have.

What caused the massive spike in humidity in the bedroom shortly before midnight?

My mind went to a dirty place is all I’m saying.

Any idea the area based on the phone number?

Not American so not sure how your area codes work and I can’t remember the Ludacris tune about hoes in different area codes.

Buy me those items and I’ll dress like that. Send the receipts too please.

So I actually did it and wiped my Windows PC, nothing on there I needed to keep.

Set up Fedora and added the Nvidia Drivers.

Shut down for a few days and in my next boot I downloaded CoolerControl. Then my networking died and I’m at a loss as to what happened.

And people said it was just the same as using windows, yet me a massive nerd, software developer was stuck without ever having attempted to play games.

Cross picket lines? /s

You should know that things you might find normal or acceptable are not the same things that neurodivergent people find normal and that’s ok we all have different experiences and we should be tolerant of those.

I’m not saying OP is neurodivergent but I am and I might do things you think are odd as I might with you.

I just replied this to the parent comment.

Furthermore even if a card is skimmed these days, at least in the UK, it’s still unlikely transactions would be processed online.

That’s because it’s become so commonplace now for transactions to pop-up in the banks app on the owners phone and they must confirm the transaction and / or receive a code via SMS. Some just use SMS as a means to confirm a transaction.

I guess one vector for attack still remains and that is SIM swapping, but even that is more difficult these days due to widespread awareness from carriers.

Thanks for sharing your experience in this world.

Do you have any idea what changed over that time to make the game evolve to lose that sense of community?

Is it a numbers thing in that it got so large it became more difficult to build longstanding communities? Or something else.

I’m just very interested in this now.

That was sad, heartwarming, and inspiring.

I’ve never been into RPGs and didn’t really understand the appeal. I now regret missing out on the communities that these games can seemingly foster. I was more into Minecraft on my own, which allowed me to escape but the loneliness was probably made worse and thus any low mood that followed.

Really glad I went against my initial instinct that I wouldn’t enjoy this programme as it was really well made.

No silly! The question asked by u/ntma ⬆️

I once got banned from that subreddit for asking a question that was too stupid

Owning your mistakes is sexy as hell.

That’s not very nice, there are no stupid questions; seeking knowledge isn’t stupid.

That said I am curious what the question was.

You don’t find happiness. It comes and goes. Imagine being happy all the time; it would just become normal. You need non happy times to appreciate the happy times.

As someone that is either very happy or very sad, I find happiness in my hobbies. I need my mind to be occupied to pass the time, but then there is the thought I’m just waiting to die and passing time.

Hobbies that make me happy are:

• Indoor bouldering (rock climbing) is the only thing I’ve found that lets me escape the constant train of thought and be in the moment. It’s a nerdy hobby as lots of problem solving mixed with strength training.
• Running
• Rubiks cube
• Lego
• Cross stitch
• Paint by numbers
• 3D printing
• learning
• many more but this is getting long.

As someone who is down a lot of the time and has ADHD but stopped the meds as the side affects were worse than living with ADHD; I’ve found that routine is a massive thing required to be content with life. Consistent bed time and wake time. I am not a morning person but after 18 months of waking at 07:30 or 06:00, depending on if I’m taking the train to work, that I now wake up a few minutes before my alarm quite often; I’m still tired and I hate it but it gets easier.

Spending time with other people is key too. I find if I’m down it’s usually cause I’ve been alone a lot (which I love) and that can be bad for me so I’ll go see friends even if I don’t want to just to engage.

Luckily I can spot when I’m spiralling. I have an urge to fire up Minecraft and live vicariously through Steve and shut out the world.

Me when I discovered Ren a couple of days ago listening to his music constantly for two days.

You will not be disappointed if you check him out.

Disclaimer: I’m all about the lyrics, so you need to listen to it all. This guy has everything though.

Thanks. I will do.

Fair enough.

For what it’s worth if you’re happy with anti-cheat at the kernel level then crack on. If I don’t trust corporations with that level of access then that’s also fine.

This isn’t something I would ever install in my system and the two games I play Minecraft and Factorio both don’t have this issue so I’m not missing out by not playing COD 8928384 or whatever popular games use this.
