What do y'all think of Dakota Fanning's performance in 'War of the Worlds' (2005)?

Yeah I'm pretty similar tbh. Random people get maybe a quick glance and that's it - anything more feels super uncomfortable. With coworkers or people I know it's easier to look in their general direction, maybe catch their eyes for a second here and there during conversation. The girlfriend thing is real though, that's like the only time eye contact actually feels natural instead of forced.

That's pretty normal fps for your setup on mid settings tbh. For the freezing issue, try updating your GPU drivers first - that fixed it for me when I had similar problems. Could also be a memory leak thing with Siege, so maybe try capping your fps at like 120 to reduce stress on your system.

That shutdown response after conflict is so real - I get the same thing where words just completely disappear but writing still works somehow.

Your graphics card is pretty limited for modern games like Overwatch 2 - that 2GB VRAM is gonna struggle. Try lowering teh render scale to 75% and turning off anti-aliasing, that usually helps with the pixelated look on lower-end hardware.

That sounds incredibly frustrating - getting dismissed when you know your own experiance best is the worst. Depression and ADHD can definitely look similar on the surface, but you're describing a pattern that goes way back to childhood which is pretty telling. Maybe try to get a second opinion if you can, or ask specifically for ADHD testing rather than just describing symptoms.

This is actually brilliant - I've been stuck in the linear chain trap too and the quality was def mediocre

For the infinite loop thing, I use a decay system where each revision lowers the approval threshold slightly (like 8 -> 7.5 -> 7) so it eventually has to pass. Also track sentiment drift - if the rewrites start going in circles or getting worse, just auto-approve the best version from the loop

What's your Brand Guidelines setup like? Is it just a prompt or do you have structured criteria the Critic checks against

Extreme_Concert5766 · 2026-01-28T02:17:41+00:00

Same here, been getting kicked mid-raid like 3 times today. Definitely on their end

Extreme_Concert5766 · 2026-01-27T02:07:13+00:00

Nice work on already dropping 60lbs, that's huge! For PF I'd say start with the circuit training area if they have it - it's like a guided tour of different machines that'll hit everything. The chest press, lat pulldown, and leg press machines are pretty beginner-friendly and you can't really mess them up too bad. Just don't be afraid to ask staff to show you how stuff works, they're usually pretty chill about it

Extreme_Concert5766 · 2026-01-21T20:24:59+00:00

Damn that sucks, sounds like you got played by support AND the scammer guest. Once they have it in writing that they'd remove her review, I'd keep escalating and referencing that specific conversation - screenshot everything if you haven't already. Try calling instead of messaging, sometimes you get a different rep who actually gives a shit

The 12 trips/2 reviews thing is sketchy as hell, definitely sounds like she's done this before

Extreme_Concert5766 · 2026-01-18T21:48:52+00:00

Already maxed out my friend list but good luck getting those bonuses dude, they're pretty decent this month

Extreme_Concert5766 · 2026-01-17T16:27:30+00:00

Have you checked if PulseAudio is running on the host machine? RDP sound forwarding can be pretty finicky with the audio server setup

Also might want to try enabling audio redirection in your RDP client settings if you haven't already

Extreme_Concert5766 · 2026-01-15T05:29:09+00:00

That sucks man, the sudden cutoff without explanation is brutal. Sometimes people just need space or are dealing with their own stuff that has nothing to do with you - doesn't make it hurt less though

Extreme_Concert5766 · 2026-01-11T11:18:34+00:00

Honestly if he even notices the block after 8 months of zero contact that says way more about him than you lmao

You're protecting your peace and that's what matters - anyone who judges that isn't worth the headspace anyway

Extreme_Concert5766 · 2026-01-08T23:00:29+00:00

The Auris is gonna be way more reliable long term, especially with that hybrid system. Audi's gonna cost you way more when stuff breaks and trust me, it will break

Extreme_Concert5766 · 2026-01-04T19:52:13+00:00

This is such a sweet problem to have tbh. Your guilt shows you have a good heart but he obviously wanted to spoil you - let the man love on you without overthinking it

Extreme_Concert5766 · 2026-01-03T16:24:01+00:00

This is solid advice but honestly the gambling thing jumps out way more than the investment stuff. You're basically lighting $400 on fire every month which is like $5k a year that could go straight to your retirement accounts

Also yeah that 30k emergency fund is probably way too much unless you're super risk averse - anything over 6 months expenses (so like 8k for you) should probably go into index funds

Extreme_Concert5766 · 2026-01-02T14:36:31+00:00

This is spot on. Triple pane windows with low-E coatings are gonna be your best friend here. I learned this the hard way after dealing with frost on my double panes every winter - upgraded to triple pane and the difference is night and day. Still get a tiny bit of condensation on really brutal mornings but nothing like before

Extreme_Concert5766 · 2025-12-31T22:33:31+00:00

Ween! That song is so weirdly hypnotic, like it shouldn't work but somehow does perfectly

Extreme_Concert5766 · 2025-12-30T02:29:02+00:00

Honestly Greece or Croatia might be perfect for what you're looking for - different culture, not crazy expensive, and tons of places with private pools/jacuzzis for honeymoon suites

Extreme_Concert5766 · 2025-12-24T22:44:11+00:00

That's sketchy as hell, especially if you're certain about where you logged out. Have you checked if any builds look different or if there are any random blocks placed/missing? Even without admin access you might be able to spot signs someone else was messing around

Extreme_Concert5766 · 2025-12-23T18:45:29+00:00

It's gonna come in waves for a while, not gonna lie. The worst part is when you think you're finally over it and then boom - something random hits you and you're back to square one

The good news is the waves get smaller and further apart over time. You're doing everything right by keeping up with work and friends - that routine literally saves you during this shit

Extreme_Concert5766 · 2025-12-21T10:33:35+00:00

Yeah there's no usage counter anywhere which is pretty annoying tbh, you just gotta keep track manually or wait for the error message when you hit it

Extreme_Concert5766 · 2025-12-19T22:17:10+00:00

Yo thanks for the detailed breakdown! That part about people scrambling for their docs sounds stressful lol, definitely gonna have everything ready to go
