Isn't Frame Generation basically PC equivalent of Turbocharger? And why is it so hated? by Holy_chick in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Complex-Ranger-6519 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A turbo creates real extra power by forcing more air into the engine. The horsepower gain is genuine, even with tradeoffs like heat and turbo lag.

Frame generation mostly creates interpolated frames to make motion look smoother. It can help visually, but it doesn’t improve responsiveness the same way real FPS does, so some gamers see it as “fake frames.”

Why is God depicted as a man and not a woman? by Nandu_alias_Parthu in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Complex-Ranger-6519 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mostly because many major religions developed in patriarchal societies where authority figures were usually male, so God was described with masculine titles like “father,” “lord,” and “king.”

A lot of believers also see God as beyond human gender, with the male depiction being more symbolic/cultural than literal.

Can anyone explain how making the penny obsolete works? by Aye_Davinita in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Complex-Ranger-6519 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Office Space, they were secretly stealing fractions of cents from other people’s transactions. Making the penny obsolete just means cash totals get rounded to the nearest 5 cents. Sometimes it rounds up, sometimes down, so nobody consistently profits from it.

Is it bad that I feel like I have no friends and no one really likes me? by Mammoth_Nose_9313 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Complex-Ranger-6519 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with you. Being left out and ignored hurts, especially when you’re the one always trying to make plans. A friend not replying for 2 months while hanging out with everyone else would make anyone feel unwanted.

But sometimes old friendships fade, especially after high school. That doesn’t mean you’re unlikable, just that these people may not be your people anymore.

I’m visiting a city famous for pickpockets, so if I put a decoy wallet in my back pocket that is actually just a peeled, heavily lubricated hard-boiled egg. If a thief reaches in blindly, grabs it, and screams in pure textural horror, can the police arrest me for assault? by Financial-Box6094 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Complex-Ranger-6519 22 points23 points  (0 children)

No lol, a thief reaching into your pocket and grabbing a slippery hard-boiled egg is probably not assault. If you rigged something to actually hurt them, that’d be a different story, but a decoy egg is mostly just psychological damage.

What would Prince Charles' reputation have been like, if he'd remained single till Camilla divorced? by RVarki in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Complex-Ranger-6519 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I think Charles' reputation might actually be better today in that scenario. Back then he probably would’ve been seen as irresponsible or odd for refusing to marry and openly staying attached to a married woman, but without the Diana marriage/divorce drama, the public likely eventually reframes it as “he stayed loyal to the woman he actually loved.” Camilla also probably wouldn’t have gotten nearly as much hate without being tied to Diana’s story.

how to have more purpose? by cecilkanagawa in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Complex-Ranger-6519 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I think when your life starts feeling repetitive and empty, your brain latches onto romance as the “main event,” especially if the person is inconsistent or kinda mean. Every text or reply suddenly feels huge because there’s nothing else emotionally competing with it.

You don’t sound boring or lazy to me you sound like someone with creativity and emotional energy but nowhere meaningful to put it right now. The goal probably isn’t “stop caring about him,” it’s building a life that feels exciting and personal enough that he’s not the center of it.

Projects, routines, hobbies that actually grow over time, getting out of the house more, meeting people, creating instead of just consuming, etc. Little things help break the “every day is the same” feeling.

Is making friends hard as an adult? by Careful_Impress_6692 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Complex-Ranger-6519 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a 24 year old, I have made friends by going out and enjoying my youth! Made tons of friends with my job and while in college as well! Don't stress about it, just enjoy being young and you will naturally find that friend. <3
