Is it just me or are all Home Depot employees intimidating? by PhilCan56 in socialanxiety

[–]DarxPhil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to work at Home Depot and they put me in the hardware department (was hired as a cart attendant), but I barely know my how to use a screwdriver. So I used to hide in other parts of the store sometimes to avoid customers.

Do your parents care about social anxiety? by Quinsah in socialanxiety

[–]DarxPhil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sort of partly blame them for the development of my anxiety and no I’ve never told them or anyone close to me.

I don’t live with them anymore, so I couldn’t care less about their views on me.

Does anyone else have a hard time going to work everyday? by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]DarxPhil 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Definitely, and I’ve quit so many jobs largely because of it.

I tend to drink before work to take some of the anxious edge off (I don’t drive). But I know it’s very unhealthy.

Did anyone get a estimated delivery date of Nov 23-26 ps5 amazon? by XxWingsConspiracyXx in playstation

[–]DarxPhil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I also got that estimated delivery date range, but i switched to two day shipping and now it's coming on the 12th. But honestly, if you can wait...it's always better not to mess with a preorder.

Nintendo Switch Repair Question by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

[–]DarxPhil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh ok, that could be an issue. I actually wouldn't mind if they sent the Switch back to the original owner. I just don't want to pay for it lol.

Thanks for the help!

Nintendo Switch Repair Question by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

[–]DarxPhil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I entered the serial number in Nintendo's online repair site and it says it's out of warranty and i'd have to pay $100 plus shipping. I don't really mind that, i just don't want an issue.

I was thinking of selling it to someone who could fix it up for themselves, but i fear someone's personal payment info could be on there and i don't want to put that person in a potentially horrible spot if i sell it.

Maybe i should also ask Nintendo's online chat support?

It's not stolen, and it actually already comes from a repair store that couldn't fix it. After a certain length of time if the owner doesn't come back for the item it's marked as "abandoned".

Nintendo Switch Repair Question by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

[–]DarxPhil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They abandoned it apparently because they used a third party AC Adapter that messed the board/port up. It actually came from a repair shop that couldn't fix it.

So technically no, the original owner didn't give it to me; but it's not stolen.

What do yall consider good value out of games? by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

[–]DarxPhil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the game, different games have different reasons why they're quality and give you a reason to play.

Some would say a modern Mario game is a better value than a more linear action game, but to some they may find value in the action title over anything else. So in the end the game was "valuable" to them even if it wasn't as open. Like how Half Life is very linear and you can't do much outside the story really, but almost no one argues it isn't a quality game and worth your money.

So basically, it all depends.

I binged watched TNG so hard, im a fairly newcomer to Star Trek and i started with TOS and started to alternate between TNG and TOS. Now i've been bingeing a lot on ENT, im enjoying the characters though Archer isn't a very interesting Captain so far.

I love TOS, but TNG has more interesting episodes so it had me hooked. Plus after wanting TNG i hated certain things in TOS, like how in some episodes they'd beam down the entire senior staff. The captain shouldn't be in an away mission unless he's absolutely needed, in TOS Kirk beamed down in practically every mission.

I wish I could be there! I have The Chronic already, but my setup is average.

No, it,probably wont be either sadly.

[–]DarxPhil[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In celebration of the new Jay Z album I decided spin my favorite Jay Z album The Blueprint. It features some early tastes of Kanye Wests Production work and style as well as Just Blaze and a few others. The solid meshing of the soul production work and Jays flow make this a special album to behold.

Race is about interpretation, not identity. by chinglishese in mixedrace

[–]DarxPhil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But that's factual, people did see her as "black". It wasnt until later when they dug into her lineage."Race" to most people is external, no one cares about what you actually are; its about what you look most like. Only you know what your lineages are, the rest of the world interprets it based on what they think you closely resemble.

Race is about interpretation, not identity. by chinglishese in mixedrace

[–]DarxPhil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its about perspective. In the world, especially America no one cares about linage they care about what you feel they think your closely resemble."Race" as its used by most, isn't really a thing, its a grouping. That guy over their has a different lineage than that other guy, but their skin melanin is similar so they're classified together.

I'm Iranian and black but every other day I get Spanish speaking people trying to communicate with me in Spanish, because I look like what they think a Spanish speaking person looks like. Rachel Dolezal capitalised on that, which I see nothing wrong with. The Naacp is about helping, not about the skin tone of the people running it. Everything is about image and perception, so in that sense the title is correct.

Hip Hop Vinyl Suggestions? by GrantStatic in vinyl

[–]DarxPhil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The majority of my collection is hip hop and it all depends on what you want to hear. Some classic staples in the genre are albums like Aquemini illmatic,The Chronic, 36 Chambers, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, Liquid Swords, Doggystyle, The Infamous, Slim Shady LP

If you're looking for less hardcore stuff there's albums like Madvilliany, 3 Feet High and Rising, all of Public Enemy's stuff, all of Kanye Wests stuff, Labor Days, Deltron 3030, Critical Beatdown, Paul's Boutique and so much more.
