general-chat

[tranquil pebble]

Wikipedia has no significant mention of fumos. I'm going to ask why lol.

There's literally a category for it too

~~diesels already do that ~~

[craggy shoal]

Yes. Due to the torque

[tranquil pebble]

with an electric there's no good reason the torque output can't be controlled

[elfin mural]

it's more so the weight of the cars tbh

[tranquil pebble]

yeah thats more logical

[elfin mural]

the heavier, the more they wear down

cuz they press against the road with more pressure

[tranquil pebble]

Honda Civic be like: tires take a decade to wear down XD

[elfin mural]

friction eats all that rubber away

[tranquil pebble]

That's been my experience with one anyways... the tires get replaced due to age related issues, not wear

[elfin mural]

lol

[tranquil pebble]

not complaining lol

[elfin mural]

that's a mood with small hondas

[nocturne flicker]

More tire wear is a potential problem. But EVs and normal cars aren't causing the road damage, our semi trucks are

[elfin mural]

tires don't get replaced due to wear on light cars

they get replaced due to age

[tranquil pebble]

rubber degrades faster than the tires wear down

I like small cars because they're more fun on windy roads

[proud jackal]

[craggy shoal]

That too

[tranquil pebble]

my biggest gripe with EVs: replacing the batteries when they eventually die... expensive as hell. Cheaper to replace an engine AFAIK.

Well, that and what if you run out of charge? With a gas vehicle you can pretty easily just get a gas can to it...

and that's a very real possibility if you have to keep the car somewhere without access to a plug

[nocturne flicker]

The same exact problem applies when you are on the road far away from a gas station. Just don't be an idiot and keep an eye on how much juice you've got left, just like with a gas car

If I'm dumb enough to not pay attention and fill up my car when I need it and get stranded, that is completely my fault. And then I'll call for a tow regardless of gas or electric

[tranquil pebble]

its not the same problem... an EV can run out of charge while parked and if you can't get a plug to that spot, you're screwed.

Especially in the winter

[nocturne flicker]

Except they make portable car chargers

In fact, that's better than a fuel can. No need to hike 4 miles one way to get enough gas and lug it back 4 miles

Just take it out the trunk and use

[tranquil pebble]

ok but that still doesnt solve the issues of 1. batteries degrading over time, 2. batteries performing poorly in winter, and 3. the insane cost of replacing them compared to even an engine swap in many cases.

I just dont trust them yet with those aspects

[nocturne flicker]

And I wasn't addressing that. I was addressing the idea its better to use a gas car if you are spastic enough to not pay attention to your fuel tank, because you can just get fuel

Just get access to an outlet smh

[tranquil pebble]

Not everyone can park their cars near outlets

[nocturne flicker]

You don't need to in an emergency

Portable charger

Your problem was emergency scenario

I post response to emergency scenario

You change topic to charge loss during parking and battery degradation

And then say response to emergency scenario doesn't resolve those other issues

[tranquil pebble]

Well in any case, running out of charge while parked overnight sounds like a very annoying possibility. Particularly in winter... I've seen what extreme cold does to batteries and its not good.

[nocturne flicker]

I've seen what extreme cold does to batteries too. With my gas powered vehicle

Which has a battery

Like all gas vehicles

[tranquil pebble]

that's a good point, I'm probably overthinking the potential issues

What about lifespan of the batteries though? Cost of replacing them is often high enough that you might as well buy a new car...

[sour falcon]

Not to mention the amount produced to make just the batteries

[mortal grail]

Cold temps are annoying af for electric

Though maybe we'll be in luck, nuclear batteries and now new lead acid developments might finally solve this lithium bs in due time

LOL LAD ACID

[nocturne flicker]

EV battery ranges from 7 to 30k. Current batteries last about 12-15 years average in moderate climates and 8-12 year in extreme ones. The batteries usually have a 10 year or 120k mile warranty.

[mortal grail]

Expensive as hell tho

I watched a recent test of a lot of EV mainstays. 350 miles was the average highway distance, honestly not bad

Just that replacement cost is still terrible

EVs won't make sense until they cost the same as petrol long term to me

[nocturne flicker]

My suv gets 220 average total in actual use with a 15.5 gal tank

[mortal grail]

SUV tho tbf

Big boi

Usually sedans can do up to about 700-ish

550 if you're abusing aircon lol

[nocturne flicker]

Its a 2015 Ford Escape

[mortal grail]

220 is really low, where do you live lol

[nocturne flicker]

Rural TN. No highway use except maybe once or twice every couple months

[mortal grail]

Ah well I'm talking highway mileage here

But you should surely get more like 500+ no??

It's got a 60L tank lolwat

[nocturne flicker]

The specs of a 2015 Escape claim 23mpg in cities

[mortal grail]

????

[nocturne flicker]

I get 14.5mpg on my rural travels

[mortal grail]

Wait

[nocturne flicker]

Usually

[mortal grail]

Wait wait

220 total range

Ah man it's too early to math

[nocturne flicker]

Sometimes it peaks, sometimes it falls. It probably gets more like 230 miles depending on how I drive it

I've reset my tracker recently and the average mileage has been more like 14.3

[mortal grail]

Wtf your car has better fuel economy than mine and I average almost twice the distance

[nocturne flicker]

What is your car

[mortal grail]

Wait I'm back to front

No this makes more sense

I'm as low as 6.2 per 100km, to your 9.4 per 100km

I average about 800km per tank on 60L (15.5gal)

[mortal grail]

Golf

No it actually makes a bit more sense now

So I'm doing around 500 mi per tank

[nocturne flicker]

800km is about 497 miles

[mortal grail]

I'm very lean* with what I do in the cabin tbf

I rarely run aircon for example unless it's a long trip

Or it's sweltering

[nocturne flicker]

I run air conditioning very frequently right now because it is currently 90f out.

[mortal grail]

Yeah I could get that

When it's hot af I don't hesitate lmao

Don't want to turn up to a social gathering or meeting in the heat with no aircon

[nocturne flicker]

I also don't have AC at home right now, so I lingered today and chilled in the car for about 5 minutes

[mortal grail]

But man 230mi, I feel like you'd save a lot of money trading to a different car tbh

Over the course of a couple years that's well over a few grand for sure

[nocturne flicker]

I'd have to have the money for it. I'm broke

[mortal grail]

Ofc

Just napkin thoughts

[nocturne flicker]

Spent it all on rent, utilities and groceries. I've also had to help someone pay off some stuff from a ticket they had, so I'm basically owed most of what I spent anyways

[mortal grail]

Good samaritan lol

[nocturne flicker]

I've wanted a new one though. Its only 9 but the abs sensors frequently break

[sour falcon]

Toyota

I think they have like 3-5 years left on the road map

Solid state batteries 🫡

[mortal grail]

Toyoda

[sour falcon]

No no

[nocturne flicker]

The sensors make the 4 wheel drive shut off everytime I start driving after starting it up

[sour falcon]

Not the fertile rice patty

[mortal grail]

Anyway I need breakfast

[sour falcon]

ADAS isn’t your friend it seems

[mortal grail]

Gimme math fuel gimme coffee lol

[nocturne flicker]

Get no 4wd, no hill assist, no traction control all because the stupid sensors stop working and the only repair shop that'll do work on it usually has everything booked out for months, so I live with it. Rain storms are fun, 'drifting' during rain like Mario Kart

Unfortunately I don't get a speed boost

[mortal grail]

Wth

File ticket with devs

Stupid simulation

[sour falcon]

Are they calibrated?

Assist sensors LOVE to throw fits when they aren’t calibrated

[mortal grail]

I haven't slid in the rain (on purpose) since I had the bmw

[nocturne flicker]

I think the issue is that one of wires gets loose on one of the sensors behind the tires, so it thinks the entire system is broken and goes haywire. It's happened before. It also spontaneously stopped having issues during the winter

[mortal grail]

Oh a loose solder could do that

[sour falcon]

Or a fault connector

[mortal grail]

[sour falcon]

[sour falcon]

Resistance issue? If good in cold but bad in hot

:thinkies:

[nocturne flicker]

It wasn't really a cold winter, so doubt

[mortal grail]

Humidity could also do it

[nocturne flicker]

I had the same issue last year but it was broken through that winter

And that winter was the one with the cold snap iirc

Or rather through the 2022-2023 winter

I dunno. I just live with it.

Maybe they'll say something when I bring it in for an oil change

Man'll panic when he turns it on and the thing goes crazy

Someone enlighten me

[opaque sedge]

What’s the difference between a local language model and a cloud based one like chat gpt?

[pliant berry]

you mean like what are the differences besides one runs locally and the other in the cloud?

[mortal grail]

One runs on your pc, one runs on a server

[worthy meteor]

One is typing 1+1 into a calculator, the other is googling 1+1

[glacial forum]

why do my drivers keep crashing when i play sea of thieves? my drivers are up to date

[pliant berry]

yeah i mean besides that, cloud is going to have more compute power. Some of the newer local ones are trying to add personal context

[mortal grail]

Try ddu

[topaz crown]

DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) Guide by Pato
https://github.com/NeweggTechie/Graphics-cards/wiki/How-to-use-DDU

[glacial forum]

could you explain it before i use it?

[mortal grail]

The link explains it

[glacial forum]

okay

[worthy meteor]

Graphics drivers or other? Have you recently updated your graphics drivers or no?

[mortal grail]

Cleans the gpu drivers completely

Cos uninstalling nvidia just plain doesn't work

[glacial forum]

graphic drivers yes

[opaque sedge]

It’s different for nvidia?

[worthy meteor]

After using ddu you might want to use an older graphics driver

[opaque sedge]

Adrenalin automatically uninstalled my amd drivers

[mortal grail]

AMD has a proper working tool. Nvidia doesn't

[glacial forum]

isnt that harmful? like you're erasing content important to certain aspects of your pc actually working?

[opaque sedge]

[mortal grail]

No because windows has a basic display driver

[glacial forum]

okay

[mortal grail]

It'll use that until you install the new driver

[glacial forum]

well i dont know how to do that...

[opaque sedge]

I need that venom slam dunk meme with jensen and amd now

[worthy meteor]

The link sent has a guide

[mortal grail]

But you have to follow the steps including and especially using safe mode

Not using safe mode is a horrible idea

[glacial forum]

im gonna try and run sot one more time before i try and see what happens

[mortal grail]

I ddu every 2nd update

[opaque sedge]

Btw i also have a gre laying around which i was planning on returning but kind of want to try it out, do i need to uninstall drivers before swapping?

The last three words are kind of

Offensive

[mortal grail]

Should just work straight tbh

[pliant berry]

naughty

[mortal grail]

Eh???

It means clean and tidy

[opaque sedge]

Its a very old story

Best not to go deep into it

[worthy meteor]

Broader filter things

[mortal grail]

No I need to know now, not even oxford has this LOL

Wtf

OH OK

I misspelt the word

Wtfff

[pliant berry]

wait how do you actually spell it

[mortal grail]

I can't write either of them but one is not the other

It means clean and tidy

It has a dutch origin it's unrelated to the other word lol

I can't believe the auto filter is that aggressive with it tho it blocks both words lol

[opaque sedge]

Yh but was used as slur in the early days in the US and soon because of a cleaning product with a similar name it kinda evolved

Its a play on Spanish and hispanic

Initially

Then came the cleaner called the phrase itself

I learned about it from a stand up comedy clip on yt

[mortal grail]

No no it comes from a 16th century dutch origin related to nails

It means new

Like brand new

I can see the other word but that's definitely not what I was going for 😂

Anyway discord being discord

Last time the filter was this weird it banned me for posting a link to a power supply

Lmfao

[opaque sedge]

Nah it makes sense the filter is put in place cuz it is discord

The discord devs definitely played a lot of cod in the days

[opaque sedge]

Yo srsly

What brand was it?

[mortal grail]

It was a thermaltake gf1

[opaque sedge]

Like did you link it from a less known store?

[mortal grail]

We had to put a manual filter evade on the link

No newegg

It has a very bad word in it

😂😂

Like I can see why it did it LOL

[opaque sedge]

No way thats hysterical lol 😂

[mortal grail]

You can look it up, I won't link it now since we're discussing it but it's clear as day what the word is lmfao

Surprised me that time too as I would link it, but nothing would tell me I was filter dodging

[worthy meteor]

Didn't the filter ban "night" at one point

[mortal grail]

So I'd link it a couple times and get banned

Yeah it banned me too lol

[worthy meteor]

Lol

[mortal grail]

A couple times in fact

Well I learned something new today

Guess I need to be careful how dutch I am

[worthy meteor]

Must not use old english

[mortal grail]

Real

Is there a reason my windows version shows up as 10? I’m pretty sure I downloaded 11

[mortal grail]

That fps graph is so smooth

[rancid juniper]

lemme try mines

lel

[idle nexus]

I've learned this the hard way ngl. It's why I have a 750w, two 850w, one 1200w, one 1300w, & one 1600w PSUs. There's some Spanish saying that I don't recall exactly but paraphrasing, it means something to the effect of, "the cheapest will be the most expensive." lol

[tranquil pebble]

I learned from the mistakes of other people and never went with a crappy PSU

[rancid juniper]

same settings

[opaque sedge]

Damn no stutter

[rancid juniper]

my latency is a tad bit higher tho heh

[opaque sedge]

Is stutter something i should be concerned about?

[storm narwhal]

If it's 1 or 2 no

If it's frequent enough that you actually notice stuttering in game? Yes

[opaque sedge]

Honestly i might return my 7900xt ngl, cuz this is a 7800xt and the gre is in between the two and 200 bucks cheaper than the 7900xt

[opaque sedge]

All settings maxed i got like 2 stutters

Is there a reason for it?

[storm narwhal]

Id say worry only if you see them in gameplay

[opaque sedge]

Like the mobo ram?

[rancid juniper]

bruh you dont need to return the 7900XT

XD

[storm narwhal]

It could be the CPU or ram or something else entirely lol

[opaque sedge]

Is there a program i can use to test the operation? To see if everything is in working order?

[storm narwhal]

Don't worry about 1 or two haha you won't even notice them in game

[opaque sedge]

Tru never noticed them in the benchmark tests and i had my eyes peeled for the whole three minutes

[rancid juniper]

dude 1 stutter aint going to ruin your experience

[storm narwhal]

It really won't

[rancid juniper]

the whole game will be smooth

[storm narwhal]

And it doesn't indicate anything is wrong

I had a massive stutter for half a second on my laptop and it threw my race completely off lmao

[opaque sedge]

Btw do u guys know why the benchmark shows my windows version as 10?

[rancid juniper]

thats how the game is

i running windows 11 but it thinks its windows 10

[rancid juniper]

honestly barely a difference between the two OS

[opaque sedge]

Ic but i signed in my apple id on apple music in the pc and in my devices section it shows up as 10 too

[craggy shoal]

Because Windows is garbage like that

[storm narwhal]

User experience wise I hate windows 11

But performance wise no difference

[idle nexus]

apparently the saying more accurately means, "buy cheap, buy twice" lol

[opaque sedge]

Guys can i get your opinion on the monitor i got? https://www.msi.com/Monitor/G272QPF-E2

[idle nexus]

lots of benchmarks do that I dunno why

[storm narwhal]

Wait till windows 12 comes around

[idle nexus]

CB R23 always says win10

another reason I don't like that benchmark much

the other, main reason I don't is cuz it's an easy way to know how mediocre my CPU bins are lol

[rancid juniper]

windows 11 is a windows 10 reskin

simple

[opaque sedge]

Extreme settings

[storm narwhal]

Windows 12 also just being a windows 10 reskin

[opaque sedge]

Fps was capped to 160 tho

[tranquil pebble]

getting an iQue DS Lite soon

[rancid juniper]

sigh lemme check mines

LOL

[opaque sedge]

In Adrenalin

I haven’t done 180 yet

Honestly 7900xt is kind of a beast

[rancid juniper]

uncap fps

[opaque sedge]

Even i can tell

[rancid juniper]

vsync off

[tranquil pebble]

with added bloat

[storm narwhal]

I'm over here playing just at 90

[rancid juniper]

Bonus from microsoft

[storm narwhal]

[opaque sedge]

You dont gotta listen to this hopefully

NOT 180

[opaque sedge]

Oh got it

[opaque sedge]

It says unlocked variable

[rancid juniper]

[opaque sedge]

Gonna try taa and ultra now

[rancid juniper]

Much better

[opaque sedge]

Is there a reason why the cpu simulation fps is so high?

[craggy shoal]

Forza is mostly a graphics game compared to it being a CPU-based game

Where does the radiator go lol

Chest strap?

[tranquil pebble]

magnetically attaches to the phone

most definitely a gimmick but I want to get one for the hell of it

[mortal grail]

I have one

It's still a gimmick once you own it

Like just turn down your game settings and things are so much more convenient 💀

[tranquil pebble]

does it cool it though?

If so then it'd be a fun gimmick to show off at least lol

[mortal grail]

Yes it does

But like

Barely

[tranquil pebble]

oh alright, nevermind then

so it doesnt do the claimed reducing to freezing temps

that seemed like a rather fishy claim to me

[mortal grail]

It's a TEC induction

So like

Yes it does make it cold

But like all TEC coolers

Under load it's useless mostly

[tranquil pebble]

What about the fan on the Redmagic?

[mortal grail]

It will make it very cold, but only while you aren't gaming

Oh idk about the redmagic itself

This is another one

[tranquil pebble]

ok thats still pretty cool

[mortal grail]

Mmm, cold one might say

[tranquil pebble]

I'm gonna have to get one to play with ngl

hmm idea: TEC cooler on an ARM CPU

[opaque sedge]

Are headphone jacks in monitors important?

[storm narwhal]

They're

huh?

it just cut out the word convenient

but that's all they are, convenience

plugging into the mobo or the front header will be just fine as well

[mortal grail]

Nice to have

More valuable if a console is involved

[storm narwhal]

this is fair

[rancid juniper]

Better to get a phone with internal cooling tbh, maybe someday a phone manufacturer can allow customizable internal parts some of which can add a thin cooler

[storm narwhal]

framework phone when

which also speaking of, I still can't believe they made a fully modular system for a dGPU

[rancid juniper]

Modular system for dgpu?

Impressive

[storm narwhal]

Framework 16

you can buy a dGPU separately and slot it in the back or slot in more battery instead

[rancid juniper]

"The frames will work with this upgrade"

[storm narwhal]

and the keyboard layout is swappable

so you can have a left numpad

[rancid juniper]

Neat

[storm narwhal]

or no numpad at all

It's honestly pretty wild

[rancid juniper]

I would like to see them expand even further, particularly lower end parts

[storm narwhal]

and with their newest gen they got the intel ultra chips with newest amd chips as well

a 2:1 ratio screen perfect for linux

something like that i forget the actual ratio

[warped crest]

this image upsets me

[dusk knot]

I don't really see a pr....

[elfin mural]

it's probably just desoldered slots if anything

[warped crest]

god i hope

[elfin mural]

it looks too clean to be snapped clean off from the mobo

[wise wigeon]

how can you tell if the drr5 kit is the good die

[tranquil pebble]

or spare slots waiting to be attached to a mobo

Rip brother Vance

[opaque sedge]

Guys i need some help my gpu seems to be idling to 50-55 C and the hotspot temp is at 60c and the fans are on even tho I’m not doing anything gpu intensive

[sinful blade]

Have you set them to always on

[opaque sedge]

Nope default settings

Temps haven’t dropped since i benchmarked my build on forza

[sinful blade]

Forza always has issues

Restart

Run hwinfo

[opaque sedge]

Done that several times

[dusk knot]

He's dead!? When?

[sinful blade]

When the witness “took” Mercury, titan, and IO, brother Vance forcibly shut himself in the infinite forest

Actually, it’s incredibly interesting

https://youtu.be/Is_jglcRMDA?feature=shared

I would suggest to watch that

[dusk knot]

Sooo he's MIA or dead?

[sinful blade]

Yes.

[dusk knot]

He's both..ok

[mental yoke]

should i be worried if my wife hasnt texted back all day

[tranquil pebble]

Thats a really weird question for this discord

[mental yoke]

ITS A QUESTION

ALRIGHT ?!?

[random osprey]

shes out buying a 4090 behind your back so she can haver a better pc

[mental yoke]

[sinful blade]

A friend wants a $900 prebuilt
Any suggestions

https://www.ebay.com/itm/305559105202

Just upgrade the ram maybe?

[tranquil pebble]

bruh

[opaque sedge]

Are there any ryzen 7000 chip prebuilts?

Apparently am5 mobos even the cheapest ones are of good quality

And mobos are something prebuilts skimp out on right?

[sinful blade]

They’re still $1.5k+

[opaque sedge]

Smth ain’t right here

[sinful blade]

Even 7600x

[opaque sedge]

Damn srsly

I am never complaining about my asus mobo i got with my 7800x3d now ever

[sweet phoenix]

Not 100% true now

[tranquil pebble]

probably money laundering or something

[sweet phoenix]

There's like less than 10, but there's def some bad ones out there

[opaque sedge]

Damn really

Can you tell me about mine?

[sweet phoenix]

That $99.99 asrock h/m.2 one or something like that

And b650m-e from msi

Some others I can't think of

[sweet phoenix]

Yeah

[opaque sedge]

https://www.asus.com/us/motherboards-components/motherboards/tuf-gaming/tuf-gaming-b650-e-wifi/

This is the one i got with the microcenter bundle

[sweet phoenix]

Asus has had some shenanigans going on, felix knows more abt that than I do

[sinful blade]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/226086485791 @sweet phoenix think maybe I can just cpu swap to something more current gen?

I don’t really know the guy

So

[opaque sedge]

Ah its cool then its midnight already I’ll ask him tomorrow

[sweet phoenix]

But it's not bad. Good feature set, solid VRMs (cpu power delivery,) and a food amount of m.2s

[opaque sedge]

Wbt the pcie slot?

[sweet phoenix]

Wdym?

[opaque sedge]

My gpu is idling at 55-60C ever since i benchmarked it

[sweet phoenix]

Kinda expensive for ending to change the cpu, mobo and ram

[sweet phoenix]

Sounds pretty normal imo

[opaque sedge]

And have tried shutting down the pc restarting it and temps are not going down to usual idles

[opaque sedge]

Yeah maybe its cuz of the heatwave too

[sweet phoenix]

Parts maintain heat for a good while too

Also what case do you have?

And how many fans

[opaque sedge]

Montech 903 air base

[sweet phoenix]

And did you make sure your fans are blowing air the correct way

Solid case

[opaque sedge]

With 2 intake and 1 exhaust

[opaque sedge]

Yep did the paper test

[sweet phoenix]

What gpu? And what're temps like under load

[opaque sedge]

The paper sticks in the front and it blows away in the back

[sinful blade]

Would you mind finding me something then? @opaque sedge
Maybe $600-$700

He would be buying it right away

[opaque sedge]

7900xt i did a forza extreme benchmark my temps reached 87C hotspot and 70C core at peak

[opaque sedge]

Maybe smth from the newegg refurbished section?

Refurbished pcs are far few in between tho

Before i built mine i was looking for cheap refurbished ones

[sinful blade]

Bacca can usually find a needle in the haystack

[opaque sedge]

Bacca is amazing

Felix too

[sinful blade]

Literally

They’re all just awesome

[opaque sedge]

What state is your friend in?

[sinful blade]

CA

[opaque sedge]

Hmm might have some luck in facebook marketplace then

[mental yoke]

how tf my sis try to play me like im dumb and tell me my wife "snapped on her" when all she did was ask her to not spam me while i was driving 😭

[opaque sedge]

Is ur sis 12?

[sinful blade]

But I’m gonna have it delivered here, install proper software, and do a local case swap

[mental yoke]

no

shes 23.

she sure acts 12 tho

[opaque sedge]

Yep

[mental yoke]

how you finna try to cry to me and make it seem like my wife was rude to you

[opaque sedge]

Assuming someone snaps at you the moment you receive some form of reply is kinda immature

[mental yoke]

when u was the one talking ab how you was gonna fight her bc she "talked to you wrong"

[opaque sedge]

That’s the kind of thing 8 year olds do to their parents when they get in trouble

[opaque sedge]

Yh this is totally a “mom scolded me dad” kind of situation lol

[mental yoke]

then proceeded to try to lie to me when I can read the chats 😭

my wife simply said: "plz don't spam my husband, hes driving"

[storm narwhal]

She would thrive in a reality tv show

[opaque sedge]

Dr phil would have a field day with her lol

Maybe his reputation would improve too

[mental yoke]

sis claims that she blames our mom for her acting like that

[opaque sedge]

Sorry xern we shouldn’t be talking about your sister like this too actually

[mental yoke]

"moms genetics have me acting like that"

dont worry ab it.

[opaque sedge]

Is she a pitbull 😭

[mental yoke]

no

like i told her today, my wife could've gone a whole different route and cussed her out like she does anyone else who calls or texts me and she doesnt know them

[storm narwhal]

that's not how genetics works kekw

[mental yoke]

but chose to be nice.

[storm narwhal]

if it were, it would be learned behavior

[mental yoke]

tried calling me and attempted playing victim while my wife was right there to back herself up 😭

[storm narwhal]

LOL

yeah that's probably not gonna work

[mental yoke]

my wife knows how to back herself up

she even got screenshots 😭

[opaque sedge]

😭

[mental yoke]

ive never felt so embarrassed to be related to someone in my life

im sorry but its true

[opaque sedge]

Tbh its best to not let someone else’s immature behavior infect your train of thought

Ur out with ur wife right?

[mental yoke]

not rn no

[storm narwhal]

that's fair tho

[mental yoke]

I was earlier

[storm narwhal]

but yeah just dont engage at the same level

[mental yoke]

it made me feel so embarrassed about myself

[opaque sedge]

Yh best to ignore it and have as much fun as you can with your lady hopefully your sister will soon realize she’ll be happier without playing the victim and enjoying her life as well

[mental yoke]

knowing im related to a manipulator that lies ab everything and blames her actions on her birth parents

like dawg its not their fault u attempted lying on someone who knows how to defend themselves

and y'all wanna guess what her last few texts to me were?

[opaque sedge]

“Why are u not listening?”

[mental yoke]

i am.

not.

im gonna ignore it though

[sweet phoenix]

Yeah you're fine

[mental yoke]

i js cant get my mind off of it

[opaque sedge]

Nice thanks for looking into it, really appreciate it

[mental yoke]

like bro, my wife isn't dumb 😭

[storm narwhal]

just because they're blood related doesn't mean you have to cater to them

[opaque sedge]

Yh its totally normal to feel angry about this because she did technically try to sabotage your relationship with your wife

Thankfully you both are worlds mature than her

And on the same page looks like

[mental yoke]

ive been with my wife for 7 years dating and 3 years married so 10 years

[opaque sedge]

Damn congratulations

[mental yoke]

she thought i would believe her over my wife

when my wife literally has screenshots of her cussing her out for simply saying "please stop spamming my husband, hes driving"

[opaque sedge]

Where are your parents in all this?

[mental yoke]

um.

long story.

[opaque sedge]

Oh damn

Yh its cool

[mental yoke]

don't really wanna talk ab it

[opaque sedge]

Yup you dont have to

[mental yoke]

lets just say, one is holding onto life by a single thread and the other has already lost its thread entirely

[opaque sedge]

I’m sorry man

[mental yoke]

yep..

its alright

[opaque sedge]

But yh on your sister the harsh truth is that you are living ur own life happily so with your wife, sis needs to figure out how live her own without bothering people and hurting them emotionally 24/7

[mental yoke]

what really set me over the edge about this entire thing

is that my sister really had the nerve to tell me: "you act just like dad, always toxic and negative to your family"

[opaque sedge]

Oh boy

Emotional blackmail…

[mental yoke]

and lemme tell you

that block button felt so good to press

[opaque sedge]

My god that’s kind of hilarious lol

[mental yoke]

😎

i hate toxic ppl

its always the same people who count on you for everything

[opaque sedge]

Based

[mental yoke]

sometimes*

[opaque sedge]

Fr like you need some emotional support from someone, why you abusing that person emotionally lol

[mental yoke]

idk man.

i was gonna say something but nvm

its too painful to ever bring up

[opaque sedge]

First order of things is to make sure your wife isn’t feeling too down on this matter too, ladies tend to feel very insecure when their partner’s family members display blatant dislike towards them

[mental yoke]

but the fact my sister can tell me how i compare to my dad is insane..

I strive to be better than my dad ever was

[opaque sedge]

It is very painful actually for both men and women now that i think about it

Sigh… remembered my ex’s dad lol

[mental yoke]

dont you hate being compared to your terrible parents? (if you had them)

[opaque sedge]

Oh yh, my father has pretty terrible qualities and I pretty much hate it when I’m told I’m displaying his same bad habits

[mental yoke]

yes, it sucks

my father was and is still a terrible person

he js recently got arrested for vehicle assault

[opaque sedge]

Might be a gross comparison but I wouldn’t want to be compared to a criminal

[opaque sedge]

Yikes was typing my message and didn’t see this at all

[mental yoke]

im literally trying not to cry rn

[sinful blade]

Hey mines dead:D

[mental yoke]

June 23rd 2023 @ 12:30:44 am

[opaque sedge]

Was ur grandma a great lady?

[mental yoke]

[opaque sedge]

I’m sure she’s proud of you for making it so far

[mental yoke]

[opaque sedge]

[opaque sedge]

…

My god

After you both became adults?

[mental yoke]

yep

[opaque sedge]

Holy crap that is insane

[mental yoke]

but rs

[opaque sedge]

If ur mom wanted to have a relationship with you guys she would have done so before yall grew up

[mental yoke]

rather than act like an adult and talk to my wife nicely after all she did was ask her to simply not spam me

cuz I WAS DRIVING

she decided to pull ts

[opaque sedge]

Man she should be glad this happened over text

[mental yoke]

then tried to lie to me and play victim , not once, TWICE.

[opaque sedge]

I dont want to condone violence but very likely any sane person would resort to slapping her due to frustration

[mental yoke]

my wife would've done more than that

[opaque sedge]

💀

Nah she would set her straight ngl

[mental yoke]

u rlly dont wanna know what my wife can do when she gets mad 💀

my wife was a drill sergeant for 2 years
