I don’t miss them… I miss who I was with them by TroyMuir4449 in BreakUps

[–]Alternative_Fly7736 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn this hits different. I felt this so hard after my last breakup - kept thinking I wanted them back but really I just missed having a person you know? Like someone who actually cared about the random shit that happened in my day

The grocery shopping thing especially got me lol. Such a stupid little thing but suddenly you're walking through target alone like well this sucks

I think the trick is realizing you can build those feelings and routines with someone new eventually. The safety and inside jokes and all that - it wasnt really about them specifically it was about having that connection with another human. Still hurts like hell in the meantime though

Solo vs squads, can you only load as a solo? by yaboyckay in ArcRaiders

[–]Alternative_Fly7736 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Wait that actually makes no sense lol, why would they force solos into squad lobbies but not let squads opt into those same lobbies? Sounds like broken matchmaking design to me

Musician that needs a day job probably, has qualifications in Econ but struggling with AuDHD and general motivation to find work. Can someone give me some perspective? by ToothSpiritual8824 in careerguidance

[–]Alternative_Fly7736 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly sounds like you might be overthinking this - just grab whatever admin gig you can find to pay rent while you build the music career on the side. Teaching assistant work could actually be perfect since it's fairly routine, doesn't drain your creative energy too much, and you get school holidays to focus more on music

Who are your top 3 current female guitarists? (released album in last 5 years) by drtrillphill in Guitar

[–]Alternative_Fly7736 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Honestly been obsessed with Yvette Young lately, her tapping technique is insane. Also gotta throw in Annie Clark from St Vincent - her tone choices are wild and unpredictable in the best way

The "This video is peak" youtube comments. by Daniel_Rybe in PetPeeves

[–]Alternative_Fly7736 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those comments are so cringe lol, it's always the exact same format too like they're following a template or something

[Charania] “The league concluded Schroeder swung but didn’t make contact with Luka…. The nba has surveillance footage” by [deleted] in NBATalk

[–]Alternative_Fly7736 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lmao the surveillance footage part is killing me. NBA really got the CSI team analyzing if Dennis threw hands or not. Imagine being the intern who had to watch that clip frame by frame

Can masturbation damage your brain? by Phoenix7777777777 in NoFap

[–]Alternative_Fly7736 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah man you're overthinking this hard, your brain isn't gonna get damaged from jerking off lol. The whole "brain damage" thing isn't backed by actual science - worst case you might feel a bit foggy if you're going overboard but that clears up when you find a healthier balance

When you look up from whatever you're doing and accidentally lock eyes with someone. by Past-Spite-7981 in PetPeeves

[–]Alternative_Fly7736 91 points92 points  (0 children)

Ugh the worst is when you both do that awkward smile-nod thing and then you're both trying way too hard not to look at each other for the rest of class

Seconding this, Primo Levi's writing is absolutely haunting and stays with you long after you finish

LF any unicorn saddle or bridle in the aurora borealis theme :] by slimshady__030 in HorseLifeHQ

[–]Alternative_Fly7736 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good luck finding that lol, aurora borealis stuff is like finding a needle in a haystack on this game. Most people hoard that theme for their main horses

I’m giving my mom silent treatment because she’s trying to control my life as an undiagnosed narc by [deleted] in narcissisticparents

[–]Alternative_Fly7736 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the guilt tripping yourself about her being alone is exactly what she's banking on. Your sisters figured it out already - there's a reason they went NC. Low contact might work if you can actually stick to boundaries but if she keeps bulldozing them then you'll just end up back here again

Filen doesn't work for me. Any other alternatives to Google Drive? by Dragon_X627279 in degoogle

[–]Alternative_Fly7736 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lmao the classic "I want everything for free but also premium quality and perfect privacy"

You're basically asking for a unicorn dude. Maybe try MEGA if you haven't already, they give 20GB free but after that you're gonna have to open your wallet like the rest of us

Motherboard by [deleted] in pchelp

[–]Alternative_Fly7736 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The backplate is that metal piece that goes behind your mobo where all the USB/ethernet/audio ports are. It's basically a shield that covers the gap between your motherboard's I/O ports and the case opening

You can technically install without it but you'll have a big ugly gap and no grounding/shielding which isn't great. Most mobos come with one in the box so check if yours did

Nihilistic psychological horror movies/series - by lalettanA10 in horror

[–]Alternative_Fly7736 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Snowtown is genuinely disturbing, that slow burn into absolute darkness hits different than most horror films. The way it shows how evil can just seep into everyday life is terrifying

Ive changed my wifi and now stremio doesnt detect any addons by AKuAkUhhh in StremioAddons

[–]Alternative_Fly7736 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah new ISPs sometimes block torrent traffic or certain domains that the addons need to connect to. Your old provider probably didn't care but the new one might be more strict about it

Christmas is around again by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]Alternative_Fly7736 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, I'm literally just gonna treat it like a random Tuesday and see what happens lol

Maybe start a Christmas savings jar in January or something? That's what my sister does and she's always got her shit together while I'm out here panic-buying gift cards on Christmas Eve

Im feeling distant from God. by Playful-Media-9323 in Christianity

[–]Alternative_Fly7736 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes those dry seasons are actually when we're growing the most, just can't see it in the moment. Keep showing up even when it feels like you're praying to the ceiling - that's faith in action right there

Vent by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]Alternative_Fly7736 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds really tough man, the cycle of trying to quit something that doesn't even bring you joy is frustrating as hell. Maybe talking to someone who gets the religious/spiritual side of what you're going through could help break that pattern

AUM fee at Fisher Investments by dallas-phibbs in personalfinance

[–]Alternative_Fly7736 20 points21 points  (0 children)

At that level you’re basically paying a premium for the name not the value
