[summer folio]

free trial in all stores, surely

[crude jasper]

no you just have a bad take

[exotic locust]

Don't worry he is now obviously trying to be satire

[summer folio]

No, u.

[desert hamlet]

Cry more.

People abuse the hell out of free trials. I'd be lying if I said I haven't.

[rare hamlet]

do any of use opera gx?

[broken folio]

The free trial is effectively the episodes exclusive to FP put on Youtube for 24-48hrs

[elfin solar]

Sarcasm?

[desert hamlet]

And honestly, floatplane is great. I've been using it for years to support LTT.

[vapid smelt]

Are you also a $3 og?

[desert hamlet]

Yes.

[elfin solar]

I don't use it and I need my money more than Linus does but there isn't anything "disgusting" about their business model.

[desert hamlet]

And hey, that's fine. If you'd rather use YouTube then floatplane, go for it. I just enjoy floatplane as a service.

[elfin solar]

Exactly. Most the content is still free.

[desert hamlet]

Yeah. I do enjoy the floatplane exclusives tho. Gives us more behind the scenes.

[vapid smelt]

The good content is the exclusive

[broken folio]

Floatplane shouldn't really be compared with Youtube imo, but rather patreon as it effectively does a similar thing.

[elfin solar]

Some of the good content. Still things I enjoy watching (and other I don't watch) but its free content so its all good.

[broken folio]

The difference is LTT is not sending upto 30% to another corporation.

[desert hamlet]

What is floatplanes cut to creators? Have they ever disclosed that?

[elfin solar]

True. They are having to run / code / maintain the whole thing so not sure what your point was?

[broken folio]

Yes thats the trade off. But they also get complete control to do as they wish.

[elfin solar]

As does every business out there

[broken folio]

If they used something like Patreon, they'd both lose upto 30% to them, and be beholden towhatever rules Patreon decides to impose. Or like with Vessel, just dissapearing with less than a weeks notice.

[fossil frost]

floatplane is patreon for video content

[vapid smelt]

Or a, only..... you know what

[broken folio]

Patreon uses vimeo on the backend for video doesn't it, video that is that is put on there directly.

[desert hamlet]

Okay I was scrolling through the forum and Linus said they target a 70/30 split.

[broken folio]

Not seen it mentioned anywhere.

[elfin solar]

How so? Is Sky also Patreon? Or is every streaming platform patreon for video?

[broken folio]

But the advantage floatplane has over Youtube for some of those is the lack of restrictions for content youtube demonitises, but isn't illegal

[vapid smelt]

You can fucking swear on floatplane huge W imo

[fossil frost]

in the way that the creators set the price levels, and you subscribe to an individual creator...

[desert hamlet]

I do like the fact that floatplane is made by creators for creators.

[broken folio]

I was more thinking things like firearms

Youtube has heavily nerfed what firearm channels can show on camera in recent years.

[desert hamlet]

Yep.

And it sucks.

[broken folio]

Youtube is at the behest of its advertising partners really, like all corporations.

[vapid smelt]

Chambering rounds normal magazine sizes

[broken folio]

if their advertising partners say 'we hate this retro gaming/emulation stuff, remove it' you can bet youtube will ask how high to jump.

[elfin solar]

Most of them have different platforms but even then they still post on YouTube. Nothing else comes close.
The bigger ones then make their money on merch.

[desert hamlet]

One thing I don't get, is why that guy earlier said that floatplane has a disgusting business model. It's literally the perfect model for creators.

[vapid smelt]

You mean Nintendo 😂

[broken folio]

Amongst others.

[long briar]

eh

[broken folio]

It was just an example

[desert hamlet]

Now granted, I'm not a creator, so I don't fully know what a good business model would be for them, but from what I know with floatplane it's way better then YouTube and Twitch.

[broken folio]

Thats the problem really, Youtube is top dog and nothing comes close. Which is one reason FP exists in the first place. If YT imploded for some unknown reason, LTT have a fallback.

[elfin solar]

Probably better per subsciber but no where near the reach as Youtube
EDIT: also on youtube you HAVE to play the algorithm if you really want to make a living off of it.
I would think FP doesn't need to do that as you have subs which does allow them to post content that is different and not neccesarily going to do well on main YT channel

[fallow lake]

debian 12 is in the supported channel now

[desert hamlet]

True.

[gilded forge]

and no ads

[wise pumice]

[ebon otter]

Is steam link ok during long distance? ~100 miles?

[graceful burrow]

As long as the internet on both ends is good

You will need to set it up before you go though

You can't set it up unless you have access to the pc and the steam link at the same time

[zenith cradle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gembyYqlnxc I feel like this was under-reported, AMD beating Nvidia so handily is just insane. It would have been impressive if the nvidia card was the 3080/3080ti.

Only 3090 was something of a legend, how have i not even heard of 6950xt until recently when i started looking for GPU.

[broken folio]

the xx50 cards were not released in large numbers really i don't think.

[zenith cradle]

All that with a massive 90 watts less power consumption. What

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaNHKSU3ABg
Even the 6900xt is competitive, 3090ti being 0-20% faster but also twice the cost + 80% more watts

[broken folio]

Yep. Though there are the better DLSS and streaming options to consider between the brands. So its not always just performance, power or price

Plus, AMD cards at launch vs later in their life are very different in terms of performance as AMD improves the drivers.

(similar could be said for Intel and their Arc cards tbh)

[frigid chasm]

rule of thumb for gpus
buy nvidia if you wanna get scammed
buy amd if ur normal
buy intel if ur swag

[zenith cradle]

I only care about computing power, not nieche specialized features. RT is the future, and as they say, the future is in the future, DLSS is not the future, DLSS is temporary and partially problematic.

[broken folio]

Hopefully intel in time can compete across more of the product stack. We really need that competition. AMD are just too busy with their SoC and CPU business to really take it to nVidia sadly.

[zenith cradle]

I would have bought Intel if i did not get a sick 6600xt deal this week.

[topaz pawn]

yo hey, i scratched the lc power idea from last night and went on searching and gathering thoughts on my monitor issue. i think imma buy a used 32" samsung g5 with ips panel (G520), got an offer for 230 euros which i think is borderline cheap and acceptable and save up the money for an oled 21:9 later on like the g8 from samsung.

however i never hear the ips g5 ever getting recommended on any venue, especially in the context of comparisons. is the IPS g5 shit?

[broken folio]

No idea about it.

[zenith cradle]

I think AMD has already beat Nvidia on a few levels, the big 2 being value to a massive degree, and power consumption ratio.

[topaz pawn]

rtings says at least for gaming it's fine. i dont know about rtings, no idea if their reviews are anything to consider.

[broken folio]

They've made huge strides with their mobile and APU line ups, which eat into the bottom of the stack much more than anything else. low and and mid tier is where the profit is. Halo cards bring limited profits.

[topaz pawn]

i mean my starting point is low anyway, my current stone age 27" TA Panel with 165Hz is whatever, probably anything is a literal upgrade

[vapid smelt]

But at higher resolutions and ray tracing the 3090ti slayed

[broken folio]

given that AMD is at the head of the table with Microsoft for this like VRR and RT on the Xbox, thats the direction things will go as the Xbox effectively directs where Direct X moves now.

Eventually nVidia will have to adopt the open standard, but for now they don't have to.

[zenith cradle]

Keep eating your copium-pie desert after that expencive RTX dinner my guy, RT is not mature enough to matter, and the difference was barely noticable at all resolutions, after all that, price bro, price.

[vapid smelt]

I've never used ray tracing I have a rx 5700xt

[zenith cradle]

fine, good.

[zenith cradle]

what's that

[broken folio]

DirectX VRR

and FSR is also open

[vapid smelt]

7% faster at 4k

[zenith cradle]

ah 😮 i'd love for AMD to get some privileges and the software lead

[broken folio]

the problem with dlss is it has to be tailored for each game iirc.

[zenith cradle]

yes, sure, that is absolute trash showing from Nvidia considdering they have 80% market share, is entirely a GPU company, those cards having 60-80% higher wattage, AND them being twice the price. Context matters.

[broken folio]

FSR doesn't much care what the hardware is, DLSS requires nVidia 20xx or newer for the RT cores

[broken folio]

nVidia don't need to care, they can be lazy currently. Similar to the Intel 14nm++++++ period.

[zenith cradle]

is FSR or DLSS the future? let's say 5 years from now.

[broken folio]

FSR is the open standard. DLSS is nvidia only.

for PC gaming the standard though will be whatever Microsoft says it is when they release the next version of DirectX

[zenith cradle]

didnt say they needed to care or should care, gamers should care about all that, and stop buying absolute trash value nvidia cards, i actually can't get over how good AMDs high end was last year

especially considdering power consumption was everything last year

[broken folio]

People believe the hype and theres a lot of fanboyism that occurs. To the point where AMD just can't get a decent footing atm.

Trouble is some people just don't care about the power consumption, they just buy whatever they see get shown as the fastest regardless.

[zenith cradle]

I know, i'm dissapointed in all the fanboys.

[frigid chasm]

nvidia is not really ever worth buying for gaming atp

i would rather reccomend someone an a770 than a 3060 ti

[zenith cradle]

barely worth for productivity even, they are beat in several aps

[frigid chasm]

yeah

[broken folio]

The only caveat being if they like a number of older games, in which case directing them to AMD might be better.

[zenith cradle]

i never thought i'd see the day AMD were so competitive in both major categories of computing

[broken folio]

if they like emulation, especially PS3 or something like TeknoParrot, then they're probably going to favour nVidia as they seem to support nvidia cards better.

[frigid chasm]

nobody likes old games

[broken folio]

Well to be fair, AMD have been competitive in the CPU space and ATi were definitely competitive at times before AMD bought them.

[sonic spruce]

Is the ram good or no?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/w8W9sL

[frigid chasm]

nobody really wants to play old games above 60fps anyway apart from csgo

[vapid smelt]

All the games I play are from 2017 and older

[frigid chasm]

and that got fixed

[zenith cradle]

No doubt Nvidia has some great software devs, i wish they'd go to intel or AMD and do some good, nvidia deserves no sympathy or loyalty

[frigid chasm]

no
actually not much in that build is good

[sonic spruce]

Wdym?

[frigid chasm]

dont buy a 4060 ti

[sonic spruce]

Oh, that was supposed to be a 3070

[frigid chasm]

thats fine then lol

[vapid smelt]

Only Nvidia thing I own is the Nvidia shield pro

[sonic spruce]

What’s a 3070 LHR?

[zenith cradle]

definitely, but Nvidia has just has such a massive good run, and become one of the worlds most valueble companies, so seeing AMDs comparatively tiny(and very poor) gpu division beating them is just great

[sonic spruce]

The micro console one?

[zenith cradle]

I guess AMD specializes in power efficiency for consoles, so that was not a surprising feat

[jaunty compass]

🤡

[frigid chasm]

i have a 1050 ti i wanna take apart and tinker with when i get this a750 in

[broken folio]

There was a time before Ryzen launched that AMD was expected to go bankrupt. If that had happened, Intel would be the only game in town for CPUs, as anyone buying AMD wouldn't automatically get an x86 from Intel.

[sonic spruce]

Yes

I thought those were sometimes problematic?

[broken folio]

Mobile and SoCs seem to be their strongest area

[frigid chasm]

its true

[jaunty compass]

It's literally not

[frigid chasm]

i cannot name the last time i played a game that came out before 2015

[vapid smelt]

Never heard of anything problematic

[jaunty compass]

That sounds like a you problem

[broken folio]

The only sucky thing with the sheild I've heard is nvidia killing the streaming feature

[vapid smelt]

New games suck

[sonic spruce]

Ok

[zenith cradle]

minecraft, terraria, or any valve game?

[broken folio]

You only really speak for yourself in that respect.

[jaunty compass]

This^
They're being rushed out to satiate publishers and stuffed full of microtransactions

[vapid smelt]

At least old games are polished

[zenith cradle]

2015 onwards were the worst years for gaming

[broken folio]

Satiate shareholders, which is a little bit of a different thing than publishers.

[broken folio]

Well some were definitely not polished.

[frigid chasm]

best years for gaming

[jaunty compass]

2016 still had some good games

[frigid chasm]

because wd2 released

[jaunty compass]

wd2?

[zenith cradle]

Overwatch was the last great blizzard game, ofcourse rockstar will always rock our worlds, and some cute indie teams making their passion projects are great.

[broken folio]

Diablo 2 was the last great blizzard game imo.

[zenith cradle]

that is 2015-2023 summarized

[vapid smelt]

Wtf no man's sky is a 2016 game

I feel old

[zenith cradle]

no womans land

[jaunty compass]

I don't really like most of rockstar's games tbh

[vapid smelt]

GTA V?

[jaunty compass]

GTA San Andreas was pretty good
I've heard good things about bully

[zenith cradle]

me neither, but i accept that they are mostly game-of-the-year material, and has some serius attention to detail.

[jaunty compass]

But I didn't really like any of the other GTA games or red dead

[broken folio]

I've tended to be meh about the GTA games after the move to 3D

[vapid smelt]

Didn't know you were old

[zenith cradle]

you're the most boomer gamer i have heard @broken folio

[broken folio]

Yes, I remember buying GTA1 when it came out on PC and running it on a Voodoo card.

[zenith cradle]

''damn kids and their 3 dimensions, it's not even 3d, it's all flat on the screen.''

[jaunty compass]

Me with a 3D TV:

[broken folio]

I'm not a boomer, but whilst I've enjoyed the 3D GTA games, they never quite had that wow that the first one had when I Was a kid if that makes sense?

[jaunty compass]

[vapid smelt]

GTA is 3 years older than me im a 2000 baby

[jaunty compass]

You can't even run games in 3d anymore last time I tried on Nvidia it literally wouldn't let me

You had to buy their software to use it but you literally can't buy it anymore and I don't think it's in the drivers

Honestly really annoying

[broken folio]

yes it got removed in recent driver releases

[jaunty compass]

I still own a 3d TV, let me fucking use it

After that didn't work I sold that 1070

[vapid smelt]

The Sony playstation 3d tv?

[broken folio]

This is why proprietry tech like DLSS is a bad thing. Nvidia could decide to kill it and then what? at least FSR exists in that case.

[jaunty compass]

A Sony 3d TV but not that one

[broken folio]

The first GTA came out when I was a teenager...

[topaz pawn]

he. funnily enough my stone-age old TA shitter monitor that literally supports nvidia 3d vision. never used. don't even know how.

[broken folio]

laptop makers are trying to bring 3D back it seems

[topaz pawn]

i think im tripping balls right now, please de-confuse my logic. i want a 32" monitor for more immersion. right. i currently have a 27". instead of buying a 32" for more view-port. i can just shift the 27" closer to my face?

is that stupid?

[broken folio]

yes you can sit closer...

[topaz pawn]

my 27" is about about 30" inch away. i have about 40" deskdepth. i can really change whatever.

[topaz pawn]

closer is impossible, there is a table in the way, but i can ... bring the monitor closer kinda

[broken folio]

achieves the same result

[topaz pawn]

but then again... getting a monitor closer on the table is something everyone can do. not everyone has insane desktop depth, but everyone has MINIMAL desktop depth

what is the purpose of 32" then

[zenith cradle]

It's ALWAYS better to have a bigger screen and sitting further away, so i suggest never having smaller primary screen then 27'', 27 is just a great resolution for everything at a desk.

[topaz pawn]

yes that was my idea as well. but think about it. take a 27" monitor like 5-7 inch closer to your face when it was far away like mine. it's like a 32" inch?

it's literally vector scaling a monitor. ah fuck

ok i just shortened the viewing distance from 30" to 24"

imma play returnal for a moment and see what it does for immersion

[broken folio]

This depends to some degree on your vision of course.

enjoy your years of good vision and hearing whilst you have it, by your 40s it will have degraded somewhat.

[crude jasper]

eh

that's mostly genetics and diet

[broken folio]

Some of it is. But your eyes will degrade by your 40s to the point of wearing glasses for most people.

at least for things like reading if nothing else, especially those who use computers a lot

[crude jasper]

thats.. not how that works but 👍

correlation =/= causation

use some eye drops and take a couple breaks here and there... Issue is gone

[topaz pawn]

hey i got 39 years old just 3 days ago. my vision is untampered, especially because i focus on eye healthyness especially infront of a monitor. it is actually the same sharpness like 20 years ago, confirmed by the eye-doctor that tested my vision for blurryness 20 years ago and retested it 1 year ago for focus-loss.

[vapid smelt]

I had 23/20 vision like 6 years ago

[crude jasper]

it's like saying that your vision will degrade going outside every day for 8 hours by the time you're 40 you need to wear glasses

[topaz pawn]

it's all in my head and my doctor said i just need to blink more, but my vision is borderline insane ( good)

[crude jasper]

like no.. just don't look at the sun

[topaz pawn]

so in this way i don't agree with your vision just falling flat at 40. cell degenerration doesn't work like that anyway

[crude jasper]

^

you would need to be letting your eyes get dry and strained for it to meaningfully damage your eyes looking at a screen

[topaz pawn]

this guy right here gets the fundamentals. just like with every other limb if you take precautions and care with it, you will enjoy them for a long time.

[crude jasper]

the only portions of my body i will have utmost care for are my groin, head and hands

[topaz pawn]

with eyes in details is never expose them to insanity brightness levels for steady hours. try to not have neon lights around as they flicker insanely. try to match ambient lighting with sun lighting with monitor lighting

[crude jasper]

i have fucked up my knees super bad and im not even 20 yet

[topaz pawn]

and people never listen to their bodys ever i swear. your eyes literally tell you when it's enough. if it feels like burning, or some dark shifts happen, it's a direct result of the shit you look at is not good

[crude jasper]

those fucking ocular migraines 🤮

[topaz pawn]

BRO

i had those TWO TIMES

[crude jasper]

its happened 5 times to me so far and every time i have had to go outside in 45-50f weather in just my pj pants ~ get super cold, then pass out on my bed

[topaz pawn]

i changed everything in my life to avoid those ever again. the visual migraines are the most horrifying shit to look at

[crude jasper]

it never really like made my vision super super bad ~ but i would have noticeable delay in how fast i react to things in my games for 5-10 minutes, then it goes slightly blurry in one eye, then blurry everywhere in that eye

then it disappears and i get the migraine

[topaz pawn]

you got blurryness? i got some kind of kaleidoscopic vision that impared my normal vision. everything was rainbow rectangles repeating over each selfs every 2/3 seconds

[crude jasper]

it affect people differently

it was blurry in only one eye, always my left. was super weird to look at things with clear vision on one side

[topaz pawn]

but you had this one side also right?

like the effect was one-sided?

[crude jasper]

yes

the blurryness was only ever on my left eye

[topaz pawn]

aight. the shit got me scared. it was a very unpleasant moment. when i read it up and seeing how this was blood vessels cramping up delivering oxygen to the eye-nerves and cells, i changed everything. food, sleep times etc. no chance i wanna re-live that again

[crude jasper]

it always occurred when i was sleep deprived

[zenith cradle]

sitting close to what you stare at will worsen your vision further, so get glasses :p

[topaz pawn]

what about shifting a 27" closer to the face so it "appears" like a 32" ?

[zenith cradle]

that would be harmfull

[topaz pawn]

how so?

[zenith cradle]

sitting close to what you stare at is harmful to your eyes

[crude jasper]

only if you have already sub-par vision

[topaz pawn]

hmm im getting the idea but i fail to see the logical explanation behind a claim like that

[crude jasper]

20/20 here and i have not had an issue with any distance ~ have been gaming for 14 years now

probably 35,000+ hours

[topaz pawn]

@crude jasper he has a point. the visual effect is the one part, but maybe bringing an emitting source closer to the eye has another effect

i woud like to know

[crude jasper]

he does, but generally it will affect you if you have vision thats vulnerable to that

it also seems "brighter" when you're closer, which can be fixed by lowering brightness

[topaz pawn]

but what if that "MAKES" you vunerable afterwards?

[crude jasper]

by vulnerable i mean family history/genetics known for having those issues ~ but those issues didn't ALWAYs occur in the family history

there's stuff that'll worsen it, and there's stuff that'll prevent it

getting closer to the monitor makes it look brighter, which can cause eye strain more easily

[topaz pawn]

i see! so it's more of a gen-sided vulnerability compared to just being exposed to it?

[crude jasper]

mostly genetic vulnerabilites yes

past that ~ it's just because you're either not listening to your eyes crying for help or something in your diet

[topaz pawn]

well then. i'm blessed with insane eyes. i have normal range vision, not short or longsighted, but still i have extreme clarity for every detail possible up to about 10cm close to my face or in far terms about 2,5/3 km i cannot spot tree-details anymore

that is 3d vision btw. if i close one eye, i can somehow spot sharpness at about 5 cm to the eye?

[gleaming harbor]

wait nvida 3d vision?!1

[topaz pawn]

yes it's 3d glasses integration with the monitor. nvidias way of stereoscopic gaming. which is awesome but never lifted off because VR gaming is still such a niche. because too expensive (hardware requirements, glasses required etc)

they gave up onto that pretty quick, but my monitor has support for it still

[zenith cradle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oECydLezfjg List is made up by actual prices, so resale/used. 1600 for the 3090ti and 650 for the 6950xt, i dont understand how people can be so stupid, the comparison is even so much worse then the MSRP comparison, wtf is wrong with you brits and americans.

[topaz pawn]

sudden add? what is that about? your appendix doesnt tell me why i should watch it

[zenith cradle]

In norway the 3090 and 6950 is almost the same price, but with so few 3090ti i guess the 2 idiots selling them think those are magically worth 400$ more then 3090 😄

[topaz pawn]

ok imma put you down to a very basic level. you posted a video without context, with a rant about something without any context with a follow-up to my question that makes even LESS sense. so again, the FUCK are you trying to do here

[broken folio]

I already wear glasses and have done for years now.

[vapid smelt]

The ti MSRP was $500 more so $400 is a steal!

[zenith cradle]

Best +4% performance money can buy

[topaz pawn]

wanna know a secret from someone that has perfect vision at almost 40y old?

i took a 20 min break to allow you to help bionic

[topaz pawn]

who? what?

[broken folio]

I wasn't aware I needed help.

[zenith cradle]

Btw, i'm 99% sure their TARDIS comment was a play on turning back time so your advice would apply back in time, so they didnt mess up their vision in the first place.

[vapid smelt]

You need help adopting more doggos

[broken folio]

I know where to go for that 😉

[broken folio]

I didn't mess up my vision, like you said, genetics play a part. My vision has just slowly declined with age, which does happen.

[topaz pawn]

cya, and @broken folio imma tell you a later time what i do with monitore choices i guess

[broken folio]

ok

[zenith cradle]

i know, i was assuming the advice you'd take into the time machine to young you would actually help.

Who knows, maybe the german had a miracle cure for genetic eyesight loss

[broken folio]

Tbh, there'd probably be other things i'd take back to a younger me than reducing eye fatigue. But yeah.

but then I was a kid in the 80s, so things that wouldn't happen perhaps today definitely got missed back then in a lot of kids

if the optitians had paid better attention to my right eye back then i might not have a bad astigmatism perhaps though

carrots is a myth...

[zenith cradle]

Diet and habbits should be a major factor in preserving many bodyparts, including eyes, maybe only delay the inevitable, but still.

[vapid smelt]

Made by the British, the evil bastards

[broken folio]

I have chronic illnesses, so finding ways of avoiding those would be more of a priority than anything to do with eyesight.

[broken folio]

Lots of things were made by the British throughout history. Some of it good, some of it definitely not.

though for at least one of them they still have no idea what causes it, so it wouldn't alas currently be helpful to travel back in time.

The two are intrinsically linked.

Britain started a war with China because China wouldn't let them sell opium.

[topaz pawn]

pretty sure you are a ban evader

[zenith cradle]

Everyone is a ban evader

i try not to get banned constantly

[topaz pawn]

[zenith cradle]

The voices in my head

[broken folio]

I tend to prefer not getting banned from places personally.

[vapid smelt]

Amazing reason to start a war

[tepid jasper]

attack anyone who starts speaking with them

why are people soooo mean to me

[broken folio]

It is why they had Hong Kong for so long, it was part of the peace agreement.

[topaz pawn]

@broken folio you know i would have loved to keep it tech-related (ltt discord etc), and discuss monitors and proper eye-care goes along using monitors for extended times. and then you have some dudes around that will put "ban-evader" on their CV when they apply to mcdonalds.

it's weird. idk

you are replying to messages you had no business with ever, you affirm the one dude that is oppositional to me out of nowhere. you write and act just like the one that got banned. and just now you somehow feel inclined to put a statement to a situation your account and involvement had no business yet. somehow you still do.

so yeah. welcome back, ban evader. enjoy your stay. for now

[broken folio]

Anyone can reply to anyone here as long as they're respectful. If you don't want others replying, you're best messaging directly typically.

[tepid jasper]

no using the server like a server isnt allowed

[topaz pawn]

confirming a number is a matter of seconds. that doesn't matter at all. even though im not available to that service i do know about sudo.me and similar services. right-wingers and extremists have these tools at hand and know how to use it. none the less you only replied and reacted to my messages even though we never interacted until now

so believe what ever you believe. but im over it. welcome to the blocklist slammer

[crude jasper]

just saying, if the original "banned" person was only timed out, same phone number will work

[tepid jasper]

I'm pretty sure racist statements are an instant ban, no warnings

instead of a mute

[zenith cradle]

usually when i first join a server, i start off active, and usually post the instant i join, so judging by join-date makes no sense.

[topaz pawn]

it doesn't matter, they still achieved their goal of their under-developed mind. instead of discussing monitors i had to deal with racists, reporting messages and blocking, distorting my display of messages.

This aint html

[topaz pawn]

never asked for a hostile response. i was here to discuss monitors until i got called the n-word for displaying a message about eye-health-care. you are out of scope and have no idea what you are talking about.

[tepid jasper]

if you took a moment to cool down you'd realize that you're being hostile to literally everybody interacting with you right off the bat

yes neither did i but you went swinging right away

despite my original uninvolvement

[topaz pawn]

i'm am now hostile to YOU only. the other partys involved, named jqpz and the shitter that got banned are blocked. so only you is involved cause you suspiciously care a lot. you are against anything this discord stands for yet you try to lure me into something that isn't real. everyone can scroll up and see my first intentions and YOUR reactions

At a time when the vast majority of manufacturing in the UK is under threat, its good to see a factory thriving really.

Huh? I wouldn't be replaced. No matter how many jobs in that factory get replaced, you need some kind of security team on site

If anything i get paid more because ill have more responsibility

because your situation isn't specific to you. it's universal and i can say with certainty everyone has been in your position before ~ it does not reflect your headspace very well to be reacting that way

it's embarrassing

[topaz pawn]

same for you.

Why will they not? Do you have a serious mental disorder that poses harm to other students? Like, most public schools have to accept you and others regardless of past grades unless you pose a threat to other students

Wtf I went to the mall and the cheapest jeans I found were $50 and I ended up going to kohls and bought jeans for $44

[crude jasper]

the cheaper ones you need to break in

[topaz pawn]

@low rain that translates to "I'll lift you through your trip, no issues ;)"

[stray apex]

There's a difference between like, decent Costco jeans and raw denim selvedge stuff

jeans are always made of cotton

yeah that won't help at all

I don’t like spending a lot of money on clothes, the most I’ve ever spent on clothes was $200 on a hoodie.

Im too big to be physically abused antmore

[full fossil]

You'd be surprised that most parents are control freaks

[full fossil]

correction - it's not that she can't change, it's that she likely won't. it takes an incredible amount of self awareness and work to correct this and most people never do because they can't be humbled to do so

[full fossil]

Organic cotton is just different

[crude jasper]

?

[torn bone]

I told her she needs therapy and she said she wont because she isn’t mentally unstable and that she diesnt need it

[coarse valve]

I know that most are i was lucky mine arent and thats why i said if u are actually getting abused

and it's because they are broken in various ways that are a combination of innate and circumstantial, and if they are boomers, also likely have lead poisoning

Maybe the US is different but here in the UK physical punishment and control is alot more common than you think

[wispy marsh]

That said, I have a really nasty habit of running my mouth too far

It's not as bad as before, but it's still there

I'm not in the US, but yes the UK is horrifyingly backwards in so many ways

[full fossil]

nah you're fine

[manic torrent]

becayse you're going to be punished anway, what does it matter?

[low rain]

As someone in the US I don’t get physical punishment, my parents just talk to me ab it and if it’s bad they’ll take my phone or something.

[wispy marsh]

Brene Brown? I think that sounds familiar

[manic torrent]

she did a TED talk aaaaaaaages ago, basically it boils down to you have to be vulnerable to be happy, and that nothing is ever perfect or finished, we're wired for struggle and connection.

PROBLEM SOLVED

[topaz pawn]

@low rain i don't know if you know the concept of honorary, but saying "Kein Ding" is only possible to friends and people outside of work. when at work and you affirmative something even in a friendly maner, it's at least "Ja, kein Problem". But in Germany you can kinda lie about an order and just say "Ja" and somehow it means you didn't understand anything until you repeat something like "kein ding" xD

[manic torrent]

yep

[wispy marsh]

I'll look her up. Thanks mate

[full fossil]

that's really unfortunate but don't be surprised when she goes crazy when you actually do go no contact

she says one thing but really means something else

[torn bone]

Mmy parents think its a hollow threst whenever i say it

[low rain]

What are the different meanings?

[manic torrent]

haha I reacted to this but they have blocked me due to sucking

[full fossil]

You know, that could mean something else entirely

[full fossil]

precisely - so if you actually do, they definitely will flip out

[torn bone]

Probably

Theyre also probably gona keep me financially reliant on them

[full fossil]

narcissism is as predictable as watching a car crash in slow motion

[manic torrent]

because you could never. You only exist through their generousness, and it's not possible that you would ever do that because you have to be grateful to your parents forever

[full fossil]

"they blocked me due to sucking" is staying in my out of context quote collection

[topaz pawn]

@dus ja is just yes, kein ding is just "no problem" but it's more basic, it's more of a friendly nod instead of a direct execution. kein ding is more like saying ok, will be done instead of "i'm right on it"

[manic torrent]

I was going to go into detail but I realised that a) I couldn't really remember and b) I absolutely didn't care.

you want to know the secret if you feel no one can help you? @torn bone start asking yourself. anything. you know how to do it. you repeat that question and the answer might be nonsense as long as your mind says no. but keep asking yourself like i did over 9 years until i answered myself: Is what im doing what i want to do?
