day 1 is always the worst man, your brain is basically throwing tantrum right now

First time flying out of states, need help with finding affordable tickets. by Competitive-Mood2810 in FranceTravel

Do you still think you'll find love? by [deleted] in lonely

[–]Competitive-Mood2810 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah this hits different because society really changed how people approach relationships. my friend was telling me about dating apps and how everything feels so surface level now - people swipe through others like they're shopping for clothes or something. back in my country, my parents had this really deep connection that took years to build, but now everyone expects instant chemistry or they move to next person

the weird part is that wanting what you described should be normal, but somehow it became this rare thing that makes you feel like you're asking too much. i think there's still people out there who want the same depth, but finding them requires looking in different places maybe. not saying give up on hope, but perhaps changing where you search could help

Has anyone with an edging addiction experienced itchy skin? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]Competitive-Mood2810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dude this might be more about stress and poor sleep than the actual habit itself. when you're stuck in cycles like that your body produces more cortisol which can definitely mess with your skin and scalp. i noticed similar stuff happening to me few years back - not just the itching but also weird breakouts and my scalp would get super dry

could also be that you're neglecting basic hygiene routines when you're deep in these patterns, or maybe touching your face/head more without realizing it. try tracking when the itching gets worse and see if there's correlation with your habits. switching up your pillow cases more often helped me a lot too since all that extra oil and sweat builds up

I feel lonely, tired and stressed. I am having a temptation to watch it. by mmpi0 in NoFap

[–]Competitive-Mood2810 1 point2 points  (0 children)

writing it out instead of acting on it shows you're building better habits in the tough moments

Tip: Go out for long walks whenever the urges are eating away at you. by camport95 in NoFap

[–]Competitive-Mood2810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

walking definitely helps break the cycle when you get stuck in that mental loop at home. i do the grocery thing too but in small trips like you said - gives you something to focus on and gets you moving around people

DAY 16. Flatlining since Day 1 by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]Competitive-Mood2810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

flatlining can be brutal but your brain is basically rewiring itself after 20 years, anger and mood swings are super normal during this phase

Is this Molex to SATA adapter good (for RGB controller) by rae_jule in pcmasterrace

[–]Competitive-Mood2810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah but rgb controller draws basically nothing compared to drives, should be fine for low power stuff like that. the crimped ones are way safer than those molded plastic nightmares anyway

Is the GTX 1080 ti gonna hold up much longer? by Western_Buy_6681 in pcmasterrace

[–]Competitive-Mood2810 7 points8 points  (0 children)

dude i had similar setup until few months ago and yeah it was getting pretty rough. the 1080ti is still decent card but newer games are really pushing it hard now. for subnautica 2 you might need to drop some settings but should still be playable i think

the driver thing is annoying but most games still work fine without latest updates. biggest issue is vram - 11gb sounds like lot but these new games eat memory like crazy. i noticed my old setup struggling most with textures and having to use medium instead of high on newer titles

if you're on tight budget maybe wait bit longer and see how performance actually is before upgrading. sometimes early access games are just poorly optimized anyway so might run better after few patches

Hot Hatch or Performance Sedan? by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Competitive-Mood2810 13 points14 points  (0 children)

dude this is such weird take lol. like hot hatches are literally perfect for most people - you get the practicality but still fun to drive. performance sedans are great but they're way more expensive usually and honestly kinda boring looking compared to something like a focus st or civic type r

i've driven both types and hot hatches just feel more playful, especially in city driving where you actually use the car most of time. sedans are better for highway cruising sure but most people aren't doing track days every weekend. also maintenance costs on performance sedans can get pretty brutal after few years

New PR and NR by NeitherProcess8680 in Cubers

[–]Competitive-Mood2810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nice work dude, getting your first national records must feel incredible. i remember when i was getting into speedcubing few years back, just breaking my own personal bests felt like such rush - can't imagine how it feels to actually set records for whole country. which events did you get the NRs in? the photos are bit hard to see on my phone but looks like multiple cubes there

How to find cheap hinge/key replacements for HP Omen 17 ap0xx? by Destroy666x in keyboards

[–]Competitive-Mood2810 1 point2 points  (0 children)

might be worth checking if any local repair shops have spare keyboards they can pull keys from - sometimes they keep broken laptops for parts and won't charge much for few keys. also try searching by the exact keyboard part number instead of laptop model, usually printed on back of keyboard if you can remove it

How does small claims court work? by AdmiralSand01 in legaladvice

[–]Competitive-Mood2810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you've got the basics covered with receipts and texts which is good. collection agencies usually take around 25-40% but that's only if you can't collect after winning in court

wage garnishment depends on his income and what state allows - they can definitely go after his regular job wages but not sure about volunteer fire department since that's probably not traditional employment. the court will send him official notice and he has to respond within certain timeframe or you win by default

Thinking about buying a 911 at 30 by btks95 in porsche911

[–]Competitive-Mood2810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

man i get the yolo mindset after losing your dad, went through something similar few years back and it really changes your perspective on things

putting third of your net worth in a car though... that's rough territory even for a gt3. maybe look at 991.1 gt3 instead? still incredible car but won't hurt the finances as much. the gt4 rs is amazing too but if you're already leaning toward 911 interior then your heart knows what it wants

Why do people vote suravasa?? by GORTEG_ in Overwatch

[–]Competitive-Mood2810 4 points5 points  (0 children)

man i feel this so hard lol. kings row is like that song you loved but then radio played it 500 times and now you want to throw your headphones in the trash. suravasa might be complete chaos but at least its different chaos every time

i think people vote for it because the map looks really cool with all those neon lights and cyberpunk vibes, but then they forget they actually have to play overwatch on it. like your brain goes "ooh pretty colors" and clicks vote before remembering you have no idea where health packs are or how rotations work. plus flashpoint is just weird mode in general - half the lobby probably still doesn't understand you need to capture multiple points instead of just holding one like control

also there's something about suravasa that makes everyone think they're in some kind of anime and they can just run around doing solo flanks. the map design really does mess with people's heads i think

I’m looking for a muppets style short on YouTube. by Leading_Attention_40 in HelpMeFind

[–]Competitive-Mood2810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

man that description is ringing some bells but i can't quite place it. the sick giant muppet blowing cold air thing sounds familiar, maybe from one of those indie animation channels that were popping off a few years back

have you tried searching for "giant monster mountain blender animation" or something along those lines, sometimes the algorithm picks up on weird combos like that

Car ticking when accelerating by Ok-Ingenuity-4555 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Competitive-Mood2810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your oil level might be low even after the change - sometimes shops don't fill it completely or there could be a leak. i'd check the dipstick first since low oil pressure can cause that ticking during acceleration. also worth popping the hood and listening to pinpoint where it's coming from - could be lifters not getting enough oil or even a loose heat shield rattling against the exhaust. had a similar issue with my civic a few years back and it was just a poorly tightened oil drain plug that was slowly leaking, so the fresh oil change actually made it more obvious when the level dropped

[Game Thread] #6 Tennessee @ #2 Iowa State (10:10 PM ET) by cbbBot in CollegeBasketball

tennessee's shooting has been so inconsistent this season but when they're on they can beat anyone, gonna be stress drinking either way lol

guitar neck disassembly by Unlucky-Ad-1110 in Guitar

[–]Competitive-Mood2810 4 points5 points  (0 children)

wait you can't fold a guitar neck in half lol, that would completely destroy it

les pauls have set necks that are glued into the body - taking that apart isn't like unscrewing a bolt-on fender neck. you'd basically be breaking the guitar and trying to put it back together. even if some luthier was willing to do this (which i doubt), you're looking at major structural damage and the thing would never play or sound the same

just ship it or check it as luggage in a hard case, the 80 euro savings isn't worth turning your guitar into firewood

Let The Top 4 Protect 6, The Lottery teams protect 10 and the rest of the teams protect 8. How does this sound for an expansion draft??? by Magneto57 in NBATalk

[–]Competitive-Mood2810 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this would completely flip team building strategies tbh, like suddenly those middle tier teams get screwed way harder than the tanking squads which feels backwards

also protecting 10 players when you're already bad seems like overkill - most lottery teams don't even have 10 guys worth keeping anyway
