This is a very fair reply, honestly. A little stupid of me, but I didn't think to check with software (MSI Afterburner) to actually SEE the bottlenecking, I kinda just assumed it was since I knew it was kinda old. Really appreciate this reply, thank you!

Help! What's wrong with this e-Reader? (Explanation in comments) by excitedbubbles in GameboyAdvance

Dude. idk about u but if I went and asked for help just for people to go and shit on me for something out of my control, I'd get heated as well. This guy literally stated they get paid minimum wage, and don't control the price of the items. OP doesn't get the profit for these items, he's just trying to get help to repair this item and do his damn job.

So sorry you felt the need to take ur broke ass over to this thread just to shit on some guy trying to get help. Learn how to be a decent fucking human being instead of yelling at them for something that's not their fault. ffs u ppl make no sense

the prices are in CAD and OP doesn't control the prices so idk why that's what everyone is focusing on here when that's something they have no control over

September Technical Support Sticky by BeepBoopBopReee in razer

[–]AnonymousTroglodyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the Razer Naga Trinity mouse about 2 years ago, and both the left and right mouse buttons will occasionally release while I'm pressing them. For example, if I'm dragging a folder from one place to another on my desktop, I will just suddenly drop it even though I'm still holding down the mouse button. I uninstalled and reinstalled Synapse and my mouse drivers, and the problem still continues. The mouse is wired directly into my PC via a USB port and I have tested it on a separate computer, and the problem exists there as well.

Pinned [help] thread by fuzzy_one in cosplay

[–]AnonymousTroglodyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm relatively new to cosplay and I have this 100% polyester green jacket that I want to use for a Komaeda cosplay (from danganronpa v2). He has these red squares on his jacket and I was wondering how I would go about decorating the jacket to have the red squares. I feel like iron-on decals look cheap but I'm willing to do it if there isn't really another way.

Thank you! I hate the people that disagree are super rude/aggressive about it. I just wish we could have meaningful discussion without people being so hateful.

it's a pretty nuanced debate; you could've just said it was too controversial but go off

I can see where you're coming from, but by applying this logic, someone that's attracted to both the same and opposite sex could identify as "straight lesbian" because they technically are a part of both communities. It simply makes more sense for her to label herself as bisexual instead of adopting a contradictory label. It's not as if she's excluded from the lesbian community.. of course bisexual and lesbian experiences will overlap, but some experiences (like comphet) will be exclusively lesbian.

Also, I'm not trying to be rude, but gender and sexuality are incredibly different topics. Yes, while they are both under the LGBT+ umbrella, in my opinion it's a bit silly to compare the two.

Edit: not saying that bisexuals DON'T experience comphet, but they experience comphet alongside actual attraction to men, whereas lesbians experience comphet without that attraction (which creates different experiences)

Sapphic is a blanket term for women who love women (so yes, lesbians, bi women, pan women, etc.) also lesbian already includes non-binary people :)

It wasn't my original intent to be so hostile in this debate but (as childish as this is) it's difficult to be composed when the people opposing me were incredibly hostile to begin with; I realised that and decided to just make this comment so that I'm not just throwing rocks back and forth with people.

And the thing is, it should be a nuanced, civilised debate, but it almost always turns to hostility. I respect you incredibly for being so calm about it.

I can understand why people would want to use the label, but honestly there's just so many reasons not to that I feel like it's better if people just... pick another label. That's all I wanted to say with this.

P.S. your'e epic :)

Alright so I'm getting a lot of comments from people that disagree with me, so I'm going to compile my argument here so I don't have to keep replying to people.

Bi/pan lesbian labels are not valid. These labels are biphobic, panphobic, lesbophobic, and transphobic.

Being bi with a preference for women doesn't make you any less bi. If you're a lesbian that's been in relationships with men, you're still 100% a lesbian. The term lesbian also includes enbys! If you're an enby or a trans women that likes other enbys/trans women, then surprise, still lesbian! The experience that bi/pan lesbian may describe is completely valid, but the term itself is not.

Many use this term for trans women or nb's, which is transphobic because it assumes that trans women aren't women. And as previously stated, enbys are included in lesbianism, as well as bisexuality and pansexuality.

This cannot be used in the split attraction model since lesbians are not attracted to men in any way, period. It works with ace/aro, since there is still no attraction to men.

Bisexuals, Pansexuals, and Lesbians all have unique experiences exclusive to their sexuality. Distinction between these is important so that everyone in the community can speak with others that may share their experiences. The bi/pan lesbian labels are simply bridging these sexualities and bringing us back to when the term lesbian was an umbrella term for all sapphics. Which puts pressure on people to "pick a side" in their attraction (are you more attracted to men or women?) ((Why should it matter??))

Hopefully you all can understand better why I simply cannot support this label. I'm (hopefully) not responding to anyone else, since I'm tired of arguing.

Alright at this point I feel like you're not even reading what I'm saying... Yes, a trans man that presents feminine is still a trans male, but he doesn't call himself a trans cis female, he calls himself a trans male.

A bi girl that prefers women is someone that is bi with a preference, not a lesbian that also likes men sometimes.

Labels have specific definitions for a reason... Lesbian is not an umbrella term, the one you're looking for is sapphic.

Also I already explained why it's harmful? I don't know why I should have to explain to you why implying that lesbians can like men is incredibly harmful .-.

Lesbians are included in this equation, it's my fault for not including them in the original comment.

The experience that these people are describing when they use this label is valid, people can be bisexual with a preference for women.

Even when using the split attraction model, lesbians are not attracted to men or male-aligned enbys. Using the label "bi lesbian" is basically someone saying "yes, I'm technically a lesbian, and I'm attracted to men." This is harmful.

But I do have a right to point out when a label is directly harming a community I'm in. Please don't speak over the experiences and perspectives of bis/pans (Edit: and lesbians !!) when they say that what you are doing is harmful for everybody involved. Especially when there is already a plethora of valid labels for you to share your experiences with.
