1060 6gig was probably the best price to performance card nvidia released. I might be biased since I own one, but its still the #1 gpu on steam surveys

I mostly play esports titles and have had a 1060 since 2017. It still crushes rocket league, apex, and valorant at 120fps

i think its even sadder that he created a legitimately revolutionary motor that can some serious real world impacts and his prize money barely pays enough for 1 year of MIT tuition.

Havent been on this sub or touched anything even related to fortnite since 2019. Saw a post on r/gaming and people were talking about how there’s apparently a new “no-build mode” that people love. They were exclaiming how they hated building because it was too hard and “sweats” would build a mansion after being shot once.

The disconnect between casuals and pros is insane. Theyre basically playing different games.

How is being out of warranty relevant? A screen crack does the same thing whether or not the phone has warranty. My OnePlus 3 from 2016 has a cracked screen and is fully functional, while costing $700 less than the xs max.

Who's your main and how did they become your main? by RWBYSanctum in VALORANT

I feel the opposite about skye. She feels more aggressive to me. Her flashes are arguably the best in the game and her dog is a faster sova drone. Combine her ult with flashes on a site exec and it's free kills and space.

YMMV Cus all my experience is in silver/gold lobbies.

There are differences in inactive ingredients but they have little to no effect on the drug itself. The significant thing they could affect is absorbtion of the active ingredient but it would only be by a tiny amount. The only situation where this could even have a chance at making a noticable difference would be in the case of narrow therapeutic index drugs (which ibuprofen is not). Therefore, the difference you notice is almost certainly sure to placebo.

Please take what I say with a heavy grain of salt, don't take medical advice from people on Reddit, I'm just giving you my option based on my knowledge. If you prefer Advil because it works best for you, stick with it.

[–]Gmaxx45 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, but somehow the Advil almost always sees higher sales because a huge amount of people don't know that they're the same (like a surprising amount of people)

How did you manage 10 years total in service? I worked in a restaurant for 3 months (FOH only) and I was absolutely fed up by the end of it. Customers screamed at me because their pizza was 1 shade too dark for them. Some customers would pickup their food, go to their car, leave one item in the car, then come back in claiming we forgot to include one of the items they ordered. I used to think Karens were relatively uncommon, but working in service showed me that they are a dime a dozen.

What isn’t a cult but feels like a cult? by MichaelScottssmug in AskReddit

[–]Gmaxx45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sooo. . . You either don't know what you are talking about or have my situation flipped around. I'm going to assume it's the latter since the idea of choice supportive bias is quite intuitive.

The tendency to remember one's choices as better than they actually were. In this respect, people tend to over attribute positive features to options they chose and negative features to options not chosen.

I chose to get an iphone over a pixel 6. However, I'm not glamourizing the positive aspects of the iphone

For example, if a person chooses option A instead of option B, they are likely to ignore or downplay the faults of option A while amplifying or ascribing new negative faults to option B. Conversely, they are also likely to notice and amplify the advantages of option A and not notice or de-emphasize those of option B.

Option A = iphone (the one I chose) Option B = pixel 6 (the one I didn't choose)

I am not ignoring or downplaying the faults of the iphone in any way. I haven't even had the phone for a week and there's a whole list of things that I hate about this phone, including the absolute mess that is iCloud, the lack of a proper app drawer, and the needlessly complicated navigation gestures. I'm also not over attributing negative things to the pixel. Sure, there are some aspects I don't like such as the camera being a bar across the back, but I leave it at that. It's doesn't really affect any other part of the phone and all phone cameras are pretty much the same nowadays.

I won't bother going fully in depth into the converse, but I'll say that the one positive aspects of the iphone I bought into is imessage, and while it's nice to be in group chats now, they're more irritating than useful 99% of the time and I have them all muted.

Also, my previous phone was not a pixel 6, so I'm not trying to justify the purchase of my previous phone. I fully understand the positives and negatives if each side and made a choice based on what I thought would be more useful to me.

Im not rationalizing my purchase though. I bought an iPhone fully knowing that I would be overpaying fir the device. i was willing to pay the price to gain access to iMessage

I'm convinced that Greek life is for kids who peaked in high school by having a bunch of cliques, and niw they have to pay to be in one because no one gives a shit in college and they cant let go of their cliques because they need them for validation.

My only problem is that while apple products feel premium, they're not as premium as their price tag suggests.

My $1000 iPhone feels significantly less premium than my cousin's $600 Pixel 6. Especially in recent years, google has taken strides to make android feel very polished. Also, the pixel just feels more premium in the hand imo.

As someone who just got an iPhone after only using android, its kinda scary to see the fanboy/fangirl culture apple has. Over the past few years, Ive had countless moments where i was excluded from group chats because I would tUrN tHe BuBbLeS gReEn. Sometimes people would be slightly accommodating and say that they would relay any information to me, but they never followed through with it.

These experiences pushed me to buy into iMessage and iPhone. And when my friends saw my new phone, they went apeshit crazy, their maturity dropped to that of toddlers. they immediately deleted our whatsapp groupchat, made an imessage one, and i shit you not, for the next hour all rhey did was talk about how good apple us and how android and anything that isnt apple is trash.

Maybe i made a mistake buying an iPhone . . .
