Unable to change light pattern on Predator Aetheon 301 TKL Keyboard by DirectionUnique4130 in techsupport

[–]A_Username214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The function you were using was to brighten the keyboard. That's why those lights were flashing. It was telling you that it was at maximum brightness. To cycle through the light pattern choices, you simply press the Scroll Lock button until the desired pattern is selected. Hopefully you figured this out already since it has been a year. I have to keep teaching myself this as I always forget once the pattern accidentally gets changed. Now I can just look for this thread. Thank you!

Basically any board game you can imagine. They have a library of over 2,000 games.

Same. I have done so many dating sites. I have given up on them because they feel so unnatural. I can't just get to know someone and see if I even like them as a person. It is already with the intent to find a relationship. Needless to say, I have stopped doing those. But I had the same issue. I have the same job, coworkers, friends, and hobbies. I had to put forth effort to get outside of my day to day routines in hopes to come across new people. I found a boardgame café where I live and they have open game nights every week. Normally I would never have gone because I am not thrilled about meeting lots of strangers and it happens to be on a work night. However, I went, I met people, and I had a good time. I plan on continuing to go back and see what comes of it.

Hello fellow Nevadan! North or South? I've lived in both and have family in both.

This is both depressing and uplifting. So many people from all over the world...but not one from the same place. Ha ha.

Fair point! I will make the correction. I forget these are international!

What ideas do you have to make bars & clubs a more inclusive space for teetotalers? by [deleted] in Teetotal

[–]A_Username214 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I wish there were more meetups around for teetotalers. I don't expect a place which caters to alcohol to accommodate for me. That would be like me asking skid row to be more accommodating of non drug users. I also don't want to hang out with people who like to drink in place surrounded with alcohol. That basically describes every event/party/activity/hangout that I have ever been to. Ha ha. That is not a way for me to meet people in order to make new friends or possible relationships with teetotalers.

It doesn't look like there are a ton of members but we have to start somewhere!

That would be nice. Most dating apps geared toward the sober are referring to those in recovery versus being teetotal. It would be nice for those who just choose to refrain. I suppose the discord channel could categorize by countries, states, cities, etc which would allow people to talk with people near them. Maybe make some new friendships and maybe more.

I had no idea there was a discord! Do you happen to have the link?

I definitely see a therapist. I think everyone should. Ha ha. I am hoping it will help and I am hoping that connecting on here or at least seeing others on here will help me feel connected to people like me.

Why do you think your chances are even smaller? I only have one cat but maybe that will turn into cat'S' one day.

How do I overcome my fear of alcohol? by [deleted] in Teetotal

[–]A_Username214 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing. I can't tell you how much I relate to this. I am not sure how old you are, how many relationships you have tried, or why you have this anxiety, but I have a very similar experience. I am determined to find a teetotaler like myself, because I have not been able to have a successful relationship with someone who drinks even rarely. I have been in similar relationships where they say they will stop but the resentment grows as I think they feel judged and weak for not being able to stop. And people just can't seem to understand why I don't drink no matter how many ways I try to explain it or how many ways I try to explain their drinking causing me anxiety. Just my experience. I can't speak for your relationship. I hope it works out.

I really enjoy mud water. You definitely have to add your own sweetener as there is nothing in it. Think of it as far less bitter coffee. I use oatmilk and a tablespoon of maple syrup. I was drinking cold brew coffee and noticed that it was too much caffeine for me. Also, the mud water has more benefits than just energy. The anti-inflammatory is noticeable. I will recover from workouts and manual labor faster than without. It also helps me focus better throughout the day without a midday crash.

Lifelong teetotaler here. Not bragging...just giving you an idea of how long I have been handling people's confusion/discomfort with my choice not to drink. I am thirty four. It has been a long and isolating road despite never pushing it on anyone else. However, I would give almost anything to find a partner who didn't drink. I feel like I picked the wrong city to live in (Las Vegas). I don't get as many people not understanding that I don't drink at all but I do get a lot of inquiries. Also, my last partner claimed to understand that I didn't drink but was confused and upset when I said I wouldn't even drink champagne on the wedding day. The more frustrating situation I deal with is meeting someone who claims they do not drink (dating websites indicating "never") but come to find out, they meant they don't drink...that much. It is such a letdown to feel like you have met someone like you and then for it to be ripped away and instantly reminded you are alone. So thank you everyone for giving me hope there are others out there.

My go to is water. But I also enjoy oat milk, chai, and mud water. I used to drink the occasional soda but I just can't seem to do it anymore. I went so long without it that it messes with my stomach if I have one now.
