Underage drinking?

[torn bone]

Im almost 17

🥱

[sly bolt]

Ah well then you would be fine where i live

[tepid jasper]

[sly bolt]

Common Germany W

[torn bone]

Im American

[tepid jasper]

oh

[torn bone]

Archloch

[gilded quest]

I didn't drink till I was 20

[tepid jasper]

i can drink but i don't see the appeal

[torn bone]

I mainly know german vulgarities

[sly bolt]

*Arschloch

[torn bone]

Ah

I should actually learn German

[torn bone]

I drink so I don’t have to deal with my mental illness

[sly bolt]

Absolutely!!! However i have heard it is quite hard for native English speakers

[torn bone]

Im 25% austrian and a bit german

Its in my blood

[gilded quest]

Long term, drinking is not a healthy way to deal with that

[torn bone]

Bla bla bla

[sly bolt]

Nah he is right tho

[torn bone]

But my mental health still effects me short term

And iv been either high or drunk daily for the past few weeks

And I don’t wana see what shows its head once im sober

I know its not healthy but my mom wont let me go to therapy

[sly bolt]

Why not?

[torn bone]

I have to go to some wilderness camp

That’s therapeutic

[sly bolt]

... thats not gonna help tbh

[torn bone]

It sounds ljke hell

[sly bolt]

If you have an actual mental disorder that is gonna do literally nothing, except maybe be a nice vacation

[tepid jasper]

so your mum would rather have you drunk/high than go to therapy...?

[torn bone]

Plus once they realize how mentally ill i am km probably going to be kicked out of the canp

[gilded quest]

Eh, this is the road to being an alcoholic

[torn bone]

Undiagnosed but probably cptsd,anorexia,bulemi,social anxiety, depression, ect

[gilded quest]

Then you have some really shitty parents

[torn bone]

Yeah

[gilded quest]

And if you're only 17, I don't think they can kick you out for now

[sly bolt]

Wait so you think your parents will kick you out?? i thought you meant the camp

[torn bone]

Not my house

The camp

Although one time i was too depressed for school and my mom told me if im really that depressed she will put me in a psych ward

Actually that happened several tiems

[gaunt cave]

idk who here is nerdy enought to enjoy this but...TIL that the size of a pixel on a modern iphone screen is the same as what most would consider good mileage on a car...you want that or smaller

[mint yacht]

You're going to get really, really good at lying in the future
This is a good thing
And also, while we sympathise with your plight this ain't the server to talk about such things

It'd be best for you to seek professional help (whilst avoiding your parents)

[sly bolt]

Agreed

[torn bone]

I need to talk to my parents because I need hrt

Which they say theyre supportive ive but i dont think they are deep down

[mint yacht]

Once you turn 18 you will not have to get their approval for it

(I think, this is not legal advice though)

[sly bolt]

Please just try to go to a therapist for now

[mint yacht]

Yeah that
A professional, though I do get the point of venting
This server just ain't the place for it

[torn bone]

Yeah but ion wana pay for that shit + the effects of my male puberty get worse the more i wait

[torn bone]

I know it spiraled from me talking about my hangover sorry

In regards to my mental illness im in it for the long run so might as well get comfortable

[gentle slate]

Credit is a cursed thing. Why couldn't they just give me the s23+

[sly bolt]

Because you cant pay for it

[gentle slate]

Why do i have to go around weird hoops just for a phone.

[gentle slate]

How so?

[torn bone]

I usually milk my parents for money

[gentle slate]

O I found a different place where I can buy it from.

[torn bone]

My mom insisted on giving me a credit card and not a debt card with an allowance so its really her fault how much i spend

[sly bolt]

Well Im assuming you tried to pay for it with credit and you dont have the money at hand right now? Or am I not understanding

[torn bone]

My parents are rich anywY

[gentle slate]

Yes. Before it's get tacked onto your mobile plan contract

[tepid jasper]

?

[gentle slate]

Haven't had a problem before and all of a sudden "nyo"

It'd be fine if my s9 wasn't falling apart

[torn bone]

My mom gave me a credit card and i spent a few hundred on it lol

[tepid jasper]

:/

[torn bone]

My parents are rich so i dont even feel bad

[sly bolt]

In other words you stole a few hundred dollars from your parents and dont have regret

[torn bone]

Didnt steal

[gilded quest]

Why did you spend the money

[torn bone]

My mom literally insisted on giving me a credit card and not a debt card

[tepid jasper]

and...?

[sly bolt]

You spent their money without their permission, no? Thats stealing

[torn bone]

I was hungry

[gilded quest]

Did you buy stuff you needed, or did you spend it to feel something?

[timid meadow]

Credit card doesnt mean spend as much as you want

[tepid jasper]

my parents gave me a credit card, but I try not spend their money if I don't have to...?

[torn bone]

My parents are rich this doesnt effect them

[gilded quest]

My parents didn't give me shit 🤣

[tepid jasper]

I spend my own money unless there's a situation where I really need to use their card

and even then I try to pay them back regardless

[gilded quest]

But they pay my car insurance and phone bill

[timid meadow]

Thats such a bullshit entitled excuse

[torn bone]

They abused me as a child so I think im at least entitled to this money

[graceful burrow]

We should totally change the topic

[gentle slate]

Man this is actually annoying tho my phone is already at 50%. 2 hours since it was charged. 💀

[timid meadow]

So did mine, thats why i got outta the bullshit and earned my way

[tepid jasper]

^

[torn bone]

Also i spent less that what one hotel night costed ar my last vacation

[graceful burrow]

Pc specs?

[tepid jasper]

Hm?

[sly bolt]

It doesnt matter how much you spent its still stealing

[graceful burrow]

What are your specs

[torn bone]

Idgaf I literally told her to put a limit on the card and each month i spend a few hundred she still said no

[sly bolt]

i agree lets change topic

[tepid jasper]

Gd you got me beat

[sly bolt]

check out battlestations, its chaos rn

[tepid jasper]

i'm looking for a 3 monitor setup myself but I'm not sure if I want a PLP setup or something else

[tepid jasper]

np

[gentle slate]

It's time to play honkai star rail

[tepid jasper]

that wallpaper looks pre good

[torn bone]

My current setup is just a legion 5 laptop with an rtx 3070ti

[tepid jasper]

i mean if i makes u feel better i had to save like 6 months for it

[sly bolt]

Yeah i love it its tokyo tower

[torn bone]

My old desktop had a 1080

[sly bolt]

But i feel my monitor setup looks a bit silly lol

[dense bone]

Hey is it bad to buy games on the EGS? I've bought a decent amount of games and most of them were great deals on sale but I keep second guessing myself because everyone shits on Epic

I just need a sanity check

[tepid jasper]

i think it's kinda the gap between the two monitors? but regardless it's less bad looking than my current

[torn bone]

My ltt beanie is super good at qwelling forehead dysphoria

[timid meadow]

Capitalism says buy it where its cheap because company=bad regardless

[sly bolt]

It literally dioesnt matter as long as you get the game you like

[tepid jasper]

i have 2x samsung syncmaster 2253bw which are old af now so there's like two cm of straight bezel between the two screens

[sly bolt]

Send a pic, Id love to see it

[torn bone]

Capitilsim 🤢

Socilism 😎

[dense bone]

My thought process exactly, also technically it wouldn't be capitalism saying that but ye.

Thx guys :D I just need some validation lmao

[gilded quest]

Unfortunately we live in a consumption based economy

[tepid jasper]

Is it alright if I DM it? I'm a bit too embarassed to send it here

[sly bolt]

Yeah sure

[shut maple]

So, my IG, FB ids got hacked one by one

I think it happened because I save my passwords in the browser (Chrome)

[torn bone]

The craziest thing is that the rich rulers of the world convinced the masses that socialism is the bad one

[shut maple]

Someone changed my FB id's gmail and pass

[timid meadow]

Hit me hard when i realized the backpack i just bought is made in a country my city is a refugee safehaven for

[dense bone]

Ayo 🤨 what kinda embarrasing pics are you talking about

[shut maple]

what to do now?
I cant access that, only my phone number is added to the account now

[graceful burrow]

Contact Facebook

[gilded quest]

Call zuck

[tepid jasper]

My monitors :<

[shut maple]

where to contact them ?

[graceful burrow]

I don't know
I don't use that shit site

[shut maple]

also, random amazon login OTP were coming for past few days

:)) my IDs are gone real bad

[graceful burrow]

Look on the website near the bottom
Usually they'll have a support section or contact us there

Most websites do

[dull granite]

I believe there is not such thing as objective evil, and such there aren't objectively evil people

[dull granite]

except ron desantist

[lunar anchor]

i mean by that definition there is no good either

if you decide to believe that there exists a definition of evil

then things like what happened in world war 2 are objectivley evil

and to a lesser extent

[sly bolt]

*then

[lunar anchor]

but still objectively evil, mcdonalds trying to pass child labor laws so they can employ children

[sly bolt]

Wdym, the children yearn for labor

[summer folio]

disgusting, nobody below 18 should be allow to even lift a finger

Doing dishes at home? Child labour

[lunar anchor]

yeah but they wanna have kids work 10 hour days and be payed 5 bucks an hour

[summer folio]

obviously everyone should be payed the same no matter the age
60 as well as 18 same pay
& 17 year olds should not be allowed to have an income

[lunar anchor]

idk if your joking, but like 13 year olds shouldnt be allowed to work for more than like 6 hours and certainly not past 10pm

[sly bolt]

Children should only be allowed to work only a few hours at a time or not at all, they need school and a childhood

[lunar anchor]

not to mention this is for a menial job they want children for precisely that logic because they can pay them less for the same work

[summer folio]

Do you live in Africa or China?
Obviously kids below 18 should be outside & play, not work.

[lunar anchor]

i live in japan, but those labor laws are coming in place in the us

watching us politics is a hobby of mine it reaffirms my decision to gtfo

[sly bolt]

Same here, it reaffirms my decision to never ever move there

[tepid jasper]

The only thing I like going to the US for is chicken bakes

[lunar anchor]

bro, you havent tried katsudon

[tepid jasper]

it's a crime that Canadian Costcos don't have those

[tepid jasper]

i work at a katsu place LOL

[lunar anchor]

hot take but costco shouldnt exist

[sly bolt]

Im so excited 7/11 is finally coming to germany

[tepid jasper]

ok but one fifty for a hot dog

[lunar anchor]

they work well for th us people, but like yall shouldnt need costco, be like a good country and have walkable cities

[tepid jasper]

and it's a big one

[lunar anchor]

the grandma who runs the cafe next to the train station gives me food for free half the time

[sly bolt]

Well we have supermarkets in germany too, and i live in one of the most walkable cities in europe

[lunar anchor]

or well used to I get it for free all the time now because I pay her bills for that

[tepid jasper]

tbh i like costco more for how they treat their employees rather than their business model

[lunar anchor]

yeah but costco is for omega bulk

im talking like you go 4-6 times a year

[lunar anchor]

and its like a day trip in itself

[sly bolt]

Thats bizzare

[lunar anchor]

ikr

[lunar anchor]

costco is a product of the system that exists around them, they are a benefit to those inside the system, but objectivley speaking they are a bad solution

[sly bolt]

I often get left over meals from local restaurants where i live through one of these pick up apps its so great

[lunar anchor]

dude some places on my walk from work are so omega nice

[sly bolt]

OH MY GOD yes, I am studying traffic engineering and city planning and I approve this message

[full fossil]

Guts I keep getting put in NSFW 🔞 servers

[tepid jasper]

obviously if we had actually habitable cities in NA I'd take what y'all have in Europe or Asia but as is Costco works for NA as walking to supermarkets is typically not a viable strategy

[lunar anchor]

for sure, im not negative about costco I think they are a net good, but the system the inhabit and perpetrate is dogshit

get like a royal kludge

[sly bolt]

get a ducky one three

[lunar anchor]

they have a deal on one for like 80

[tepid jasper]

Well yeah, but I'd take them over Walmart or any other grocer in NA

[shut maple]

make custom keyboard

[lunar anchor]

no, keyboards are something you should either cheap out on or go all the way

[tepid jasper]

at least they treat their employees with decency

[shut maple]

or akko/keychrone sells good prebuilts

[lunar anchor]

like audio gear

oh yeah yes get it

[sly bolt]

wdym ducky is great

[lunar anchor]

150 is wooting territory

[lunar anchor]

they are good but they fit in a price bracket that doesnt make sense cus 50 dollars more gets you a metal build

[sly bolt]

nice argument, however, macha colored ducky one three

[lunar anchor]

nice arguement however moondrop dash was 300 and came with an inbuilt dac

it was a 200 dollar dac with a 100 dollar metal and PC keyboard that looks and sounds amazing

[sly bolt]

300?? a ducky one three is like a hundred bucks

[lunar anchor]

i swear to fukin god i remember seeing the matcha one for 250

[sly bolt]

NOOO its like 130 euros for me

[lunar anchor]

i misremembered

[sly bolt]

Im ordering one next week

[lunar anchor]

yeah probably good value then, though this might be my rich person talking I feel like saving for a better product is worth it

[full fossil]

I am still trying to find who was in paris

[sly bolt]

Im currently using a ducky one 2 mini and have to say its pretty great, only cost me 90 euros

[tepid jasper]

Is spending that much more for a metal chassis worth it? I want a full size keyboard so I was considering between the Keychron V6 & Q6 but there's a substantial difference in price between the two

[lunar anchor]

i wouldnt upgrade then, its not worth it, save for like a high end thing, moondrop dash is great for me cus dac, but like a prebuilt for like 5-600 later on is a better idea imo

[sly bolt]

Yeah but im not really into the hobby tbh, i just like the color xd

[lunar anchor]

metal feels nicer and more premium and considering that and switches is the entire reason you buy a keyboard yes

[lunar anchor]

paint yours

[tepid jasper]

It's like a 90 USD difference though

[sly bolt]

And need a german layout, my ducky one 2 is US layout

[lunar anchor]

the one i bought for shits and giggles felt ok

[tepid jasper]

I just mainly want something silent, tactile, and full size

[lunar anchor]

i would say so, its not floating switch right, but like also the way I see it is a keyboard is a thing you buy to have more fun using your computer and its not a product that your replace in the next 10 years, 90 extra dollars for somethign that feel sand looks more premium is an easy decision, tho like also let me reiterate im not really a good person to judge that question for you because 90 dollars isnt that much to me

[tepid jasper]

I mean I guess then

I'll just see how much money I have when I go to build it

[summer folio]

Check out Buckling Spring! Very tactile

[lunar anchor]

i would avoid anything floating switch because I think they are ugly

[lunar anchor]

if you can deal with the looks of a model M on your desk its a no brainer

[sly bolt]

Are cherry silent red switches a crime for enthusiasts? Just wondering

[lunar anchor]

cherry switches are a crime in general

[sly bolt]

??? Why

[lunar anchor]

they are low quality for mx switches and mx switches already are kinda bad

[sly bolt]

What is better tho? Gateron?

[lunar anchor]

gateron ink blacks are amazing

[sly bolt]

But those are pretty loud no?

[lunar anchor]

gateron, kaihl, novelkeys etc

[lunar anchor]

lube silences all, and linears arent terribly loud

[tepid jasper]

I was looking at the Gazzew Boba U4 silents, are those fine?

[lunar anchor]

ill send you a typing demo

[summer folio]

My PS/2 keyboard just looks like model M, membrane

[lunar anchor]

i mean i like them as an mx switch, but like silent non clickys i dont see the point in

[tepid jasper]

Non clicky?

[lunar anchor]

ngl, the only keyboard upgrade path i reccomend is membrane -> sub 100mech -> endgame

[lunar anchor]

some switches have inbuilt noismakers or make noise as part of the mechanism

[sly bolt]

Omg i had razer membranes at one point they suck so much

[tepid jasper]

Ah

[lunar anchor]

i bought a razer headset as a kid

[tepid jasper]

no I just want something quiet :<

[sly bolt]

My condolences, so did I

[lunar anchor]

worst decision I ever made, i thouht it was so good at the time and then I bought myself a pair of hd600s and wanted to kill

tho in hindsight ive spent like 1,500,000$ on audio gear so maybe not a good idea

[sly bolt]

i had the Razer nari ultimate for the longest time because i was a pewdiepie fanboy and they had a collab, now I have the dt 770 pro tho

[lunar anchor]

staying content with razer would have been way cheaper

[lunar anchor]

i like the dt770s i use them still for drumming but for music listening I think they are only like decent for the price

[summer folio]

I liked my Xtra wide-full-size Microsoft SideWinder X4 keyboard with programable macro-keys on the side.

[sly bolt]

???????Brother what

[lunar anchor]

focal utopia 3 evo speakers

very pricey

so worth it though

[sly bolt]

youre telling me you spent 1.5 million dollars on audio system

[lunar anchor]

not one, in total i bought a ton of headphones and spent a large chunk of that on a speaker setup for my home theatre

[summer folio]

Used all the macro keys for MOBA all-chat auto-type lines:
"Wow, I really thought you had me there!"
"So Close!"
"Yeah, who killed me? I was barely watching. "

[sly bolt]

What do you do for work bruh i need to do that too

[lunar anchor]

i do machine learning work and management

i kinda lucked out early career and my dream house wasnt expensive so i just kinda have money to burn

[lunar anchor]

by not expensive btw i mean like the stuff I have inside it is worth more than the house

[sly bolt]

Idk if I believe that, but hey anything is possible

[lunar anchor]

i mean the criterion was enogh space for me fiance and dogs, while beign close to train station

[midnight elk]

Same they weren't very good

[lunar anchor]

i tried them at a store once and was annoyed when i saw the pricetag

[sly bolt]

i wouldnt take them again if razer paid me

[midnight elk]

It looked like a sports car but drove like a shitty Toyota Sienna with a broken axel and transmission

[sly bolt]

Aye dont hate on the sienna

hate on the Kia soul

[lunar anchor]

my cousin has a toyota sienna, that he got from his mom who bought it in like 1995 - 2002 or something and it still gets like 25 miles to the gallon

those things are immortal

[slim mirage]

the new one doesn't look as horrible still horrible though

[full fossil]

Someone kicked my balls now I have to buy new balls to play basketball

[midnight elk]

My dad has a sienna, drives great tbf, though the axel has snapped, and the door handles have fallen off, otherwise it was axruallt pretty good

My dad had a Kia minivan before and IT FUCKING BURNED DOWN ???

[slim mirage]

isn't it a bad time to have a Kia in the USA because it doesn't have an immobiliser

[lunar anchor]

how tf do the door handles fail

[midnight elk]

LIKE LEGIT CAUGHT ON FIRE AND BURNT INTO A PILE OF ASH

[slim mirage]

easily especially in colder climates

[midnight elk]

The vans like 20 years old gotta give it some slack

I think it's a 2003-2004 Toyota sienna with lime 370K miles on it

It's seen some fucking wear and tear and my brothers are derranged

[exotic spindle]

i use computer

[knotty oracle]

is it illegal to read

[slim mirage]

@knotty oracle depends what you reading though

[knotty oracle]

interesting

[slim mirage]

i gotta buy an AC at some point this heat wave stuff aint my thing

[knotty oracle]

i have a fan blowing at full speed @slim mirage

its gonna be 29 celcius next friday in Norway now that ain't right

i think the sun is getting closer

[slim mirage]

im sort of glad i work at night lol

[knotty oracle]

what do you work as

[slim mirage]

very complicated job you wouldnt understand

[knotty oracle]

i understand now

[slim mirage]

you want me to try explain it

[knotty oracle]

yep

[slim mirage]

i pick up a box right you following me?

[knotty oracle]

nope

[slim mirage]

i then open the box and then i empty the contents of the box onto the correct area of shelfing

see i told you that wouldn't you understand

[knotty oracle]

thats deep

[slim mirage]

some of the boxes are yes

[knotty oracle]

sounds kinda fun tho

[dull granite]

is this possible to get a pc setup (pc + keyboard mouse etc) which generates ultra low amount of noise

[slim mirage]

it is get to ride around on an electric pallet moving thing like a little scooter while listening to wan show or a podcast or music goes in quite quick

[dull granite]

basically 'actually stealth' pc

[slim mirage]

all you really need is a fanless pc and a mouse that doesnt really click that loud idk if the magic mouse clicks loud

[dull granite]

and keyboard

[slim mirage]

apparently my keyboard on some site is the quietest for "gaming" but its not that quiet lol

[knotty oracle]

if you want a quiet mechanical keyboard you are gonna have to spend alot of money for custom parts

[slim mirage]

bruh i just realised i only type using my index fingers

[knotty oracle]

i think i do that aswell

No way. Really?

I have a ps5 and i enjoy fps games and bit of rpg. Should i buy 1440p 144hz or 1080p 240hz. I plan on building a pc in the future.

[slow talon]

i would go for 1440p and 144hz

[slow talon]

if you had 60hz monitors only yet, its a huge upgrade, but imo 144hz to 240hz will not make that much of a difference

[echo canopy]

once you get into > 120 FPS the monitors pixels response time/features like black frame insertion starts to matter IMO more

[summer folio]

Haha, I just assumed all Discord Servers was primarily zoomers.

[full fossil]

Is there any difference between 144hz and 240hz if i only get 120fps

[lunar anchor]

ngl once you pass 120 your better off spending money on an audio solution than anything else and well resolution scales based on monitor size so

[slow talon]

240Hz its just not rly worth for downgrading to 1080p, at least not for me, if you playing rpgs you will enjoy it more on 1440p

[lunar anchor]

monitor might have better pixel response times so image will look more clear, but like aside from that no

[lunar anchor]

if you play rpgs you should worry more abotu your headphones than your monitor

[full fossil]

Any recommendations for 1440p 144hz budget just below 300$

[dim forge]

Merry 6/9 everyone

Also I'll def agree, the jump from 60 to 120 is quite noticeable, then you'll realize anything under 90hz is terrible lmao

Hell my phones has a 144hz screen, it's near impossible for me to use the 60hz mode anymore

[echo canopy]

Oled 60 is acceptable

[night heron]

real

once i tried 120hz vs 60hz side by side in a phone store i could never go back

[summer folio]

120fps? then get a 120hz DVI-Dual Link only monitor

[night heron]

scrolling on a 60hz display gives me an aneurysm

[dim forge]

One big noticable difference is playing Pokemon go, once you turn on the unlock fps option, 144hz pogo lmfao

[summer folio]

Same, but scrolling on only 1080p phone
friendly regards 4K Sony Xperia OLED

120 hz just drains all the battery instantly tho

i was gonna boost serv then realised its at 69

[dim forge]

Depends on phone still tho fr, on my moto my phone last about 2 days before a charge of I don't to much with it like spoof Pokemon go lmao

Also moto near stock AOSP android so that helps to

nah it's adaptive

it's not fixed 120hz always

[granite tinsel]

[summer folio]

You don't really loose the ability to type qwerty when switching. More like learning a new language(I thumb type qwerty on phone, Svorak A5 on pc)

[granite tinsel]

yeah but you can get out of practice with qwerty

[torn bone]

Ehh

[fossil frost]

120wpm means nothing if its full of mistakes.. can hit 200wpm easily if you let autocorrect take care of bad spelling... what you want to show is wpm with the error ratio too

[summer folio]

NO! Do better.

There’s rumors about my friends threatening a girl at my school and now they had to talk to the principal and he said they have to apologize to the girl (the girl said it was over text and when they asked if she had proof she didn’t, the rumors are false and it’s obvious yet my friends are in trouble)

Next level bs

[vapid smelt]

Your phone company keeps logs

[low rain]

They even told the principal she had no proof and that she lied

[fossil frost]

"no proof" and "lying" are very different things

[gilded forge]

I miss old days of Game of Thrones running, where you could spoil everyone all the time that doesn't know how to read a book. 😔

[low rain]

She’s saying we did something to her but she doesn’t have any proof and I already know she’s lying

Cause we didn’t do anything to her and we didn’t say anything to her

[gilded forge]

teenagers know nothing of cyber security. hack her.

[low rain]

💀💀💀

[fossil frost]

to an independent person, not having proof, doesnt mean that shes lying, it means she doesnt have any proof... ultimately, to get into any real trouble, she needs proof that you did something... conversely, you need proof that she IS lying, ie. you were somewhere else at the time she said you were saying/doing something.

or she needs to admit to whoever she told this, that shes lying

[low rain]

For something over text you should be able to have proof of that

Our proof is that she doesn’t have any proof cause it’s not real

[fossil frost]

not if she was scared of what it said and immediately deleted it, and then later on decided that its something that needs to be reported... it still happened, but there is no longer any proof

[low rain]

Also this could be our proof

There’s logs

[long briar]

idk back when I was in hs, you either got into a knife fight, or we're all cool

[low rain]

And there would be nothing there showing that they threatened her

[gilded forge]

you need a subpoena. you can exscy just contact the carrier and get logs without reason.

[fossil frost]

you would need to go to the police to request that they investigate it and get the logs

[long briar]

if just an apology is required, what were the damages...

[low rain]

Right now it’s really just our word against hers

[vapid smelt]

[fossil frost]

if you didnt do it, refuse to apologise, get your parents involved, get them to come into school and ask the school to provide the proof they have to justify the punishment. and get your parents to mention that you will be looking into aquiring logs from your phone provider to proove that nothing was sent

if you did do it, suck it up and accept your punishment

[low rain]

Only one of us have her number and it’s cause one of my friends is in ASB and she’s also in ASB

[long briar]

this^ DO NOT ADMIT GUILT (if you didn't do it)

[low rain]

I hate her so much this is her second time making something up about a friend group

[long briar]

Oh? How did the last time go?

[fossil frost]

get your parents to bring that up to the school, that this girl has a history of making up lies

[low rain]

I think they ended up not getting in trouble cause the girl didn’t have proof last time when a parent asked the principal

[fossil frost]

this isnt a matter for bitching about on discord... its a matter for your parents to deal with with the school on your behalf, but 100%, do not apologise and do not accept any punishment if you didnt do it, and make sure your parents know you didnt do it

[low rain]

I’m not bitching ab it cause ik at the end of the day we’re gonna get out of it

[sleek pond]

What an absolutely baffling take.

1. I bought each of the MCC titles as they rolled out to PC, which means I purchased Halo 2 Anniversary on the MCC at full price three years ago.
2. Online co-op is an advertised feature of the game. Asking if this advertised feature of the game is working properly yet is not nitpicking. If you bought a brand-new car and the radio quit working would it be nitpicking to ask the dealer to fix it?

It doesn't matter if you bought a game for $100, $10, or $1, if the developer says that a feature exists then the feature better work, otherwise it's false advertising

that's an extremely bad take. third party apps exist to fix shit that reddit won't.

just use facebook like a true zucc fan

[granite tinsel]

i haven't used reddit in a few months anyway

[tiny saffron]

might just move to tumblr tho

[granite tinsel]

been using tumblr more often since twitter

no i'm not going to specify because you know exactly what i mean

reddit is the most comprehensive knowledge base of troubleshooting.

[granite tinsel]

but deviantart is... blehhhhhhhh

[tiny saffron]

for reddit you have to find the right group but still have to use bullshit detector

[granite tinsel]

all i'm gonna say is there's a reason why a lot of my artist friends no longer use it as their main platform for artposting

[tiny saffron]

devianart fell off hard

[granite tinsel]

tumblr did too but at least it's a decent social media apart from the adult content ban

[tiny saffron]

most of casual browsing is on phone nowadays

[granite tinsel]

yeah most people don't need a full-on computer these days

[tiny saffron]

having no app for easy access is a big demerit

[granite tinsel]

phones and tablets are enough for like 70% of the population's computing needs

[tiny saffron]

yea no kiddin

[sly bolt]

But Reddit has an App

[tiny saffron]

most youtube watchin is on phone anyway, phone is the easier access to the internet and cheaper one

[granite tinsel]

and the first-party app is garbage

and they just dealt a death blow to all the third-party ones

so they'd better get ready to step up on the first-party app or a lot of people are going to stop using reddit

[full fossil]

maybe you just complain too much have u thought about that

[tiny saffron]

terribly optimized, badly implemented and hard to use

thay can hire them for the app development but them are blasting idiots

[sly bolt]

Idk man I can look at you know what perfectly well on the Reddit app

[tiny saffron]

I used it before

[summer folio]

So just force quit the app process in settings after using the app? gg ez

[tiny saffron]

using boost now and never looked back

[gilded forge]

same

[granite tinsel]

the thing about reddit compared to other social media platforms with third-party clients is that reddit users are generally know more about technical stuff and are more likely to know about and search for third-party solutions if the first-party offerings suck

[tiny saffron]

just smoother experience and MUCH more useful tools

[summer folio]

inb4 iphones doesn't even have settings

[sly bolt]

I do understand why they are doing it tho, those third party apps are generating revenue using Reddits content without paying a single cent no? Or am I misunderstanding something

[granite tinsel]

it's mainly due to AI companies using reddit's API to gather a bunch of training data

[summer folio]

Well, that sounds illegal.
Throw them in prison

[sleek pond]

"Reddit's content"

Also known as my content, your content, etc

[tiny saffron]

yeah but they can just charge a resonable fee

[granite tinsel]

or charge more depending on the use case

[sly bolt]

Hosted on Reddits infrastructure, which is expensive

[broken folio]

yes, but the platform is free, we're the product, the same with twitter, facebook etc

[granite tinsel]

not as expensive as their rates are showing

[sleek pond]

Kind of, you also have Reddit premium, ads, etc.

[sly bolt]

Well obviously they want profit too, thats kind of the point of a company

[tiny saffron]

internet points is about stealing contents

[summer folio]

it's just like piracy,
it's aight if it's non-profit
as soon as someone gets payed for the Pirated material it's not cool

[sleek pond]

I'd be fine with Reddit charging for its API but the problem is they're going from zero to ten out of the blue

[slow talon]

ugh ... the more deep im getting into PC building, the less i know what PC i want to build myself ... this is frustrating especially in my country with limited options for parts ....

[sly bolt]

It might be ethically alright but not legally

[feral gorge]

hello

[granite tinsel]

there's a limit on how much they can charge before people throw their hands up and say "fuck this"

[sly bolt]

Well they are not charging you anything tho, they want to charge the companies using their infrastructure without paying royalties

[granite tinsel]

no, but it costs the end users in terms of third-party options

[broken folio]

Most companies are reacting to the whole AI thing and some are very much entering into utter panic mode over it.

[tiny saffron]

if a guy charges you 1 billion dollars for the right of setting up a hot dog stand, what do you think about their actual motives?

[stray apex]

no, they're doing it because AI companies were using reddit to train models

[granite tinsel]

and sure whether that hot dog stand exists or not doesn't cost anyone else anything, but wouldn't some people just want a dang hot dog?

[stray apex]

the problem is that AI companies only do that because reddit is filled with a lot of real people

so if reddit pisses off their users too much

they start to lose users as moderators abandon the platform and it turns into a bot hellscape

the first party app is kind of shit, but it's enough for general users

the issue is that reddit's moderation tools are actual garbage

[sly bolt]

Thats called rent bruh

You get the right to use that space that somebody owns

[granite tinsel]

even the greediest landlords would recognize that they couldn't charge their tenants 1 million dollars a month

[tiny saffron]

i will charge your rent 1 billion dollars and I own all the lands, what your next move?

[sly bolt]

Im going to another landlord

[stray apex]

the third party applications don't generate nearly as much revenue lmao

[granite tinsel]

that's functionally equivalent to no longer using reddit here

[sly bolt]

Just like every other company has the option to, if they dont want to do that, then pay

[stray apex]

reddit's fee's are fucking stupid

[tiny saffron]

there aint no land that aint mine

[sly bolt]

Sounds like the us government has a discord account

[tiny saffron]

reddit and reddit only have that type of product

[eager notch]

I don't think there would be near as much outrage if the 1st party app was 20% as good as any of third party apps, calling the 1st party app a dumpster fire is an insult to dumpster fires

[broken folio]

The AI companies are spending so much money I expect they kinda have to be stupid to disuade them enough. 3rd parties are an unfortunate victim in the battle, and it won't be the only one, every platform will be having this sort of thing over the coming years.

[stray apex]

it's not even just third party apps

[granite tinsel]

so if your only option then is to not pay, that means you're not doing with business with reddit at all--and that's objectively lost revenue for them

[tiny saffron]

exactly, it's tyranny or this case, monopoly

[stray apex]

this fucks over all lgit bots

[granite tinsel]

not to mention the loss in value in having a fleshed-out ecosystem of third-party apps, bots, and services

[sly bolt]

Oh my god no its not. Literally every other social media company charges for other companies to use their services

[granite tinsel]

only twitter charges remotely close to as much as what reddit is charging

[eager notch]

Yeah, the fact I can't use reddit is fun anymore means I'm probably going to be abandoning Reddit in general

[fossil frost]

reddit THINK they have a monopoly on the type of platform that they are. the problem is, reddit isnt that hard to build, and isnt that hard to build in a scale where it can work with 100s of 1000s or 1000000s of users... some of these subreddits that shut down, especially the ones where the mods or the people who run the subreddits run a few of them, will pop up on their own platforms, and run the platform themselves, and make the money for themselves... reddit think they will be able to weather the storm, and scare subreddits into staying active... so with the landlord analogy... all they are doing here, is alerting people to the fact that there are other countries they can go to, with land that they can claim as their own, and THEY get to be the landlord at that point

[sly bolt]

They arent banning every company from making third party apps, they just want to get a cut of their profit since they are using their infrastructure.Whats so hard to get

[tiny saffron]

reddit ecosystem is different, you can start another media to mimic it but that's uphillbattle. and no, something like twitter is not exactly same

[sly bolt]

reddit: $12,000 per 50 million requests

do you see the problem?

[eager notch]

The problem is they are out to lunch with how much money they want

[sly bolt]

Ohh I didnt know they were charging that much

My bad, i thought yall were arguing the concept

Not the actual cost they are saying

[granite tinsel]

well at least you get it now

[tiny saffron]

yeah them are charging your grandma funeral funds to use their data

[fossil frost]

the difference is, they are charging FAR more than is realistic, FAR more thanthe market "standard" that others charge, and are doing it so blatently, that they KNOW they are going to shutdown the 3rd party apps, and they want the 3rd parties to be shut down so they can make more advertising money

[sly bolt]

Now i get why yall said 1 billion dollars

[eager notch]

And I'm sure imgur is hideously more expensive to run than reddit because imgur is mostly multimedia while reddit is mostly text

[tiny saffron]

there you go, nice

[sly bolt]

I guess were not in the same subreddits

Reddit is going to be shit in 6 months

but you get my point; objectively speaking, the fact that text-only posts are possible on reddit means that objectively there's a higher percentage of photo and video posts on imgur compared to reddit

It's less expensive than you think to buy real human bones online

[fossil frost]

its free to steal them

[granite tinsel]

i think the difference between human and machine learning there is that we have a better sense of intuition on what works and what doesn't--meanwhile computers have to stumble into almost every single advancement

[eager notch]

Is that why there was nothing in my grandma's grave when I dug it up a couple of years ago?

[granite tinsel]

that's just japanese for "tomorrow"

[ionic abyss]

so they are predicting the return date with the name?

[granite tinsel]

LOL

[gentle slate]

Mann nothing good comes out of IPTV

My isp allowed a 24 hr grace period if a bill hasn't been paid. But you don't have that with IPTV.

[fossil frost]

pay your bills then...

[eager notch]

Like this segue, to our sponsor!!!

Tunnelbear

[gentle slate]

Ever heard of forgetting

[ionic abyss]

you pay for iptv

[gentle slate]

It's not like I can go pay them at 12 AM.

[ionic abyss]

there are free links for most channels

[fossil frost]

no, i use direct debits for everything... especially for things that are monthly payments

[gentle slate]

Gl teaching that to my grandmother.

[ionic abyss]

what provider u using

[gentle slate]

Local one.

Local to the point you can specifically find out whee I luge.

[ionic abyss]

lol even now you can get 2000 channels for under $20

[eager notch]

Can't you pay the bill online?

[gentle slate]

Nope.

[ionic abyss]

iptv is cheap!

cheap cheap

[eager notch]

What

The

[ionic abyss]

some will list 1st month of iptv with 2000 or mor channels for $5

[gentle slate]

Welcome to the 1980s soviet blocc countries.

[ionic abyss]

[tiny saffron]

welcome to incompetency

[ionic abyss]

not sure how they iptv services can list on demand and upto date episodes of all major streaming services exclusives legaly

aka netflix disney plus and more

and live nfl and other sports for $15 per month

[eager notch]

To pay my water sewer garbage bill, my city charges a fee to pay it online, but it's free to pay it in person, it makes absolutely no sense where they have to pay someone to take my payment in person vs the website they already have up that costs nearly nothing to run.

It's only like a dollar so I don't bother paying it in person

Butt fuck inconvenience fees

[gentle slate]

Why does TV still exist.

[tiny saffron]

like online payment should cut down the work for both sites

[eager notch]

Because my 85 year old grandparents are still alive

[ionic abyss]

because a 55" 4k 244hz oled monitor is pricey

[vapid smelt]

only 62% of the world has access to the internet

[tiny saffron]

tv like broadcaasting?

[gentle slate]

OK abolish TV in those 62%

[eager notch]

I'm pretty sure an even smaller amount have access to broadcast TV

[tiny saffron]

TV is still a plenty reliable way to transmit media and news to the masses

[ionic abyss]

nope if they abolish tv the cell providers will buy they spectrum and sell overpriced data plans with small data caps

[gentle slate]

Mfw watching movie on TV and there's 15 minus of ads every 30mins.

Mvnos for the win

[round cairn]

[gentle slate]

25euro for the same + more data than you can use up in the entirety of Europe.

Including Serbia, turkey and other non EU countries.

[ionic abyss]

i have tmobile home internet

[eager notch]

So mines cheaper.

Plus how do you have more data than unlimited?

[gentle slate]

Nah outside of country it's limited.

[ionic abyss]

love it 200-400mbs download speeds

[gentle slate]

But it's so much that you can't really use it up easily.

[eager notch]

I got gig fiber

[ionic abyss]

you pay more than $40 per mont also

[gentle slate]

I'm stuck with a shitty 300/60 connection because of the aforementioned IPTV

Could've had 1000/1000 for the same price.

[eager notch]

Yeah, it's $60 a month for symmetrical gigabit

[ionic abyss]

300mbs is not shitty

[gentle slate]

Nah that part is okay.

The upload on the other hand is vile.

[ionic abyss]

unless your stuck with a 300kbs/60kbs connection

lol i see 20,000 channels for $14 per month

[gentle slate]

Hmm I might be able to use my phone as a hotspot for my PC.

[ionic abyss]

'if not then you might have a hotspot cap

Bilddump is hosted by a random ISP, just being nice

[broken folio]

thats almost ten times what I can get here 😉

[summer folio]

30/6? Sure sounds like ADSL

Hmm, ADSL2+ seems to max out at 24/1,3mbit/s

[broken folio]

Currently stuck at 28/8 here. The line is too far from the exchange currently for faster until they upgrade.

for ages couldn't get more than 8/2 here before it was upgraded.

It is fibre, but FTTC rather than FTTP

the bit from cabinet to property is copper.

[summer folio]

I see!

[broken folio]

slowly the copper bit is being replaced with fibre, but it is a slow process

maybe in 5 years we'll get 1gbps offered if they upgrade the local exchange.

3 shots of rum is what you drink while you are waiting for your actual drink to show up

[summer folio]

Why do anyone wants a surfpad?

[quiet mural]

It's not a surface

[summer folio]

it's called surfplate in Swedish, ipads = surf plate, etc.

is it not called surfpads in english?

[stray apex]

Tablet

[summer folio]

surfplatta

[quiet mural]

Ok?

[stray apex]

Do you use Google home?

[summer folio]

everything "smart" is dumb

[quiet mural]

Yes and I have a pixel book, pixel buds, google nest hub, Google tv, android tv, Pixel phone, and pixel buds

[summer folio]

everything microphone or voice assistant = worst thing that has happent

[stray apex]

So you were obviously gonna buy it anyways

[quiet mural]

I would consider a non apple alternative

[stray apex]

Why

[quiet mural]

I can flash custom roms

[stray apex]

If you're bought into the Google ecosystem so heavily just buy the tablet

Why the fuck would you want to flash a custom ROM, the purpose of buying everything from one company is integration

[quiet mural]

I currently use a Amazon fire hd 8 with lineage os 18.1

[summer folio]

🐑

[quiet mural]

Because at the time there was no Google tablet

And I refuse to fund fraudulent companies

[summer folio]

I still don't see the purpose of surfpads

[quiet mural]

This isn't just a tablet

[summer folio]

How will you know if you're getting a call?

[quiet mural]

It's a smart hub

[quiet mural]

What's the purpose? Showing Weather? 😏

[gilded quest]

whats wrong with knowing about the weather

[summer folio]

I was not sarcastic

My mum husband has some google surfpad thingy in the window, it shows random images & weather

But you could just look outside the window & see the weather?

[vapid smelt]

your mums husband is your dad though

[stray apex]

Look out the window
Predict the weather and temperature for the day using only my eyes

[fossil frost]

the weather outside of my house according to that logic is "girl walking her dog, screaming at somebody on her phone"

[stray apex]

Better bring an umbrella

[summer folio]

[summer folio]

Nono, my mum left her current husband(my older brothers dad) for my dad, but my dad died of diabets, so she got together with my little sisters dad & had her, then left him, now she back with my older brothers dad(her current husband)

[fossil frost]

i had to read that twice, and do a drawing to work that out

[remote idol]

So yeah apple dongle at max volume doesn’t get hd600s very loud for most songs

Hope my btr5 will fare better

[gilded forge]

does looking out the windows show you temp, AQI, UVI, precipitation 3 hours ahead of time, etc?

[fossil frost]

no, but if you are good enough, you can work that out on your own

[gilded forge]

that’s as complicated as Warhammer lore.

I'm not sure what to do for my self birthday gift to be kinda irresponsible with and put on a credit card... Do I get a 87$ or a 109$ box of cards....

[vapid smelt]

https://tenor.com/view/why-not-both-why-not-take-both-gif-11478682

[molten drift]

Because I don't wanna be too irresponsible

That's like 210$ plus tax...

[fossil frost]

always be irresponsible, tomorrow is not guaranteed (especially if you are TOO irresponsible 😄 )

[vapid smelt]

are you saying your not worth $210+ tax

[molten drift]

I mean let me put it this way coopa...

I wanna get myself one box.. and then I'm using sick time on Friday16 th to go to a pre release event and then another pre release event on Saturday 17 each of those costing 46$

And then on the 23rd paying 60$ for another 8 packs

So ... I figure one box for myself for now... To be responsibly irresponsible

[full fossil]

Why not be irresponsibly responsible?

[molten drift]

Because I'm turning 30 and trying to make sure I manage my debt properly

[thin echo]

Does anyone know the websites that sell subscriptions for super cheap?

[molten drift]

Well I got the 540 cards for 109$ which was 5% on promotion then I spent the extra to overnight and then I made sure to use my Amazon card to get 3% cash back points .. like a responsibily irresponsible almost 30 year old person.

[silver cairn]

if I could upvote this question I would.

[thin echo]

I used to know one but I forgot the address link. What’s stopping you 😏

[silver cairn]

I dont know any sites for that. Didnt think that was a clear web thing.

How bad is it to mix RAM? Currently have 2x8gb 3200mhz cl16. How bad is it to add 2x4gb 3200 cl16 to the motherboard?

also curious about adding 1x8gb similar spec to use three slots in the pc

[broken folio]

You'll lose dual channel if you do this, if it works at all, some boards won't like it. mixing a group of different sizes will work, but you won't get the highest speeds as it'll default to the slowest stick.

[full fossil]

if you wanan mix ram they should at least be the same size sticks

the speed for all 4 sticks will be the speeds of the slowest stick

[broken folio]

As long as the sticks are matched in each channel it will work just fine. but xmp might not work reliably , etc.

[polar fern]

If it’s not matched the controller will just switch it all to the lower of the speeds and it’ll be fine for general use

Resizable bar & other stuff may not work

[gilded forge]

so new TI-84 plus ce calculators still use mini-USB. why the fuck. I have a single, 6 inch mini-USB in my pile of over 100 cables. why the absolute fuck

[polar fern]

License?

[gilded forge]

yes but if I'm playing doom on a color calculator I expect for it to have micro-usb

[polar fern]

USB c

[gilded forge]

that's too much to ask for

Moto's budget phones are still micro-usb

[stray apex]

No
Micro USB was given to humanity by Satan himself

[gilded forge]

at least it's a standard. every major mid 2000s android phones used it. at least it's not like Apples proprietary cables. proprietary connectors are just a kind way to say "planned obsolescence"

[stray apex]

Mini USB is also standard

[polar fern]

Must be an assembly line/tooling issue

[gilded forge]

wait this stupid calculator came with a mini-a to mini-b

[broken folio]

No thats the USB3 hdd connector with the extra bit to the side of the usb micro b part

[broken folio]

By matched I meant sizes, so 8,4,8,4 would work, 8,8,4,4 wouldn't

i want linus to do a supersized pc. like the biggest motherboard you can possibly fathomly make.

Idk have to check but it in every way to me feels more of a sin.

[topaz pawn]

sorry to ask this, but is this discord full of short attention-span dudes? what is the general concensus in a discord like this, should i even elaborate anything at all or should i just go neanderthal mode and be like "me want this, u want to?"

[polar fern]

Erm what?

[topaz pawn]

i wrote an elaborate request for something specific and all i got was a head exploding emoji. idk what to do

[polar fern]

You can read the chat like weeks back to get a feel of things

What’s on your mind?

[topaz pawn]

i want to buy a bigger monitor with some certaion specs for me. i wrote an extended "what i have, what i want, what i dont want" request. not getting a reply is fair. just telling me that im too extended makes me just unsure how to request anything at all

cause the auto-prompted guidelines tells me to be as elaborate as i can

[polar fern]

In this channel?

[topaz pawn]

no. in #1106613567966429224

[polar fern]

Oh you don’t ask about monitors in there.

It’s a peripheral device

[topaz pawn]

fair enough, but what category would that fall under?

[polar fern]

Just ask in here. If there is a better channel to ask in, people will generally direct you there.

What kinda monitor do you want?

[topaz pawn]

ok thats cool. but if i spin this a bit further im surely not the first one, why is there no dedicated periphal section :/

[polar fern]

Because just ask here

[topaz pawn]

well what i want is pretty easy, but it's also not that simple in hind-sight. since it's up, imma just link it: https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1116870364744646686

cause i absolutely not gonna spam this channel with a 2000 letter block

[polar fern]

Uff I never go there

2000?!

[topaz pawn]

i had 15 letters left before not being able to post 😉

[polar fern]

Yeah, the reason why you got that reaction is basically because it looks like you’re having a conversation with yourself in the wrong channel.

i was just trying to be detailed. idk man. i sometimes asked people even in real life and they ask for a ton of specifics. i thought i just give those that makes sense in terms of a monitor

[polar fern]

Looks good.

[topaz pawn]

just imagine if i came here and just asked: yo i need new monitor, please gib names

you would start to ask specifics
