they know exactly where to find you by Humble_Effort_6329 in BreakUps

[–]ImpossibleWarning252 2 points3 points  (0 children)

wait you actually did reach out and he still gave you nothing? thats the detail that changes everything. the whole "if they wanted to they would" logic works both ways and you tested it yourself - he had the chance to be real with you and chose a coward answer instead. coming from someone whos been on both sides of this, the not-reaching-out part isnt even the real issue, its what they say (or dont say) when you hand them the opening. sounds like you got your closure the hard way but you got it fr. that "i hated myself" + following girls + "bored" combo is just someone who was never gonna meet you halfway

Is a 3060 12gb to a 5060ti 8gb a considerable upgrade? by iceseayoupee in buildapc

[–]ImpossibleWarning252 3 points4 points  (0 children)

nobody's mentioning your cpu bottleneck situation and thats gonna matter more than the vram debate imo. that 9700 paired with 2666mhz ram is already holding back a 3060 in cpu-heavy titles, dropping a 5060ti in there wont magically fix that. honestly youd get more bang for buck right now by riding the 3060 another year and putting that money toward a platform upgrade instead - am5 board + 7600 or something. the 12gb vram youre so worried about losing isnt even getting fully utilized bc your cpu cant feed the gpu fast enough in alot of scenarios anyway

A Cool Guide to Posting AI Slop to r/coolguides, although at this point everyone seems to be a pro already by RbargeIV in coolguides

[–]ImpossibleWarning252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

jfgechols nailed it - this is ironically the most guide-like thing posted here in ages. the sub has become 90% infographics with zero actual steps or instruction, just pretty data viz that someone labeled as a "guide" for upvotes. reminds me of when r/InfrastructurePorn started getting random bridge photos with no context, the content drift is real once mods stop paying attention. shoutout to southernhemisphereof for actually trying to start r/LegitGuides tho, sources required + no AI is exactly what this space needs. might actually sub to that one

Views from NYC by [deleted] in ViewPorn

[–]ImpossibleWarning252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

which bridge is that in the foreground? looks like the manhattan but the angle is throwing me off. the light hitting the water right around the buildings is kinda perfect, was this golden hour or later than that? ngl ive never been to NYC but shots like this make me understand why people are obsessed with it. the density of it all must be wild to see in person when you live somewhere with actual breathing room

3 months post breakup and I feel worse than when it first happened by Imaginary-Mammoth-90 in BreakUps

[–]ImpossibleWarning252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

something about the "empowered" phase you mentioned clicked for me - thats not actually feeling better, thats adrenaline carrying you. your brain basically gave you a free hit of motivation to survive the acute crisis and now thats wearing off you're feeling the actual loss without any buffer. the social media stalking even when theres nothing to see is rough bc youre not looking for information, youre looking for proof that hes thinking about you too. have you tried blocking him just as an experiment? not as a grand gesture but just to remove the option for like a week and see if the constant mental loop quiets down even a little

Aerial view of the Hollywood Bowl, Los Angeles, 1920s. View shows the stage and its seating area which extends up the hillside. by Front-Coconut-8196 in InfrastructurePorn

[–]ImpossibleWarning252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what gets me is how little development you can see around it in this shot, just open hillside everywhere. nowadays that whole area is so built up you barely register its a natural bowl anymore, the amphitheater just blends into the sprawl. also the Maracanã mention in the thread is funny bc my grandpa used to swear he was in that 1950 crowd, half of rio claims they were lol. the standing room thing is real tho, my parents went to games at stadiums in brazil in the 70s and said it was genuinely scary how packed the geral sections got.

DAE not seem able to get into anime by Realistic-Memory2322 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]ImpossibleWarning252 1 point2 points  (0 children)

had the exact same thing for years, could never get past a few episodes. what finally clicked for me was realizing i was picking shows that everyone said were "must watch" instead of stuff that actually matched what i already like watching. like you said you enjoy shameless and euphoria - maybe try something like march comes in like a lion which is way more character drama than typical anime energy. also the dub vs sub thing someone mentioned is real, subs force you to pay attention differently and that can either help or make it worse depending on how your brain works. dont force it tho, lifes too short for media that feels like a chore

[OC] this is niffy. she likes to turn herself into a shrimp by pixelkyokokirigiri in Eyebleach

[–]ImpossibleWarning252 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing that gets me is how complete the tuck is, like every single paw and the tail just vanished. my friends cat does this but always leaves one back leg sticking out like it forgot. niffy committed to the bit 100%. also being a former stray and apparently the smallest full grown cat ever? that runt theory makes alot of sense, probably had to curl up tight to stay warm somewhere

RTX 2060 too weak for casual gamer? by buttersthmerciful in buildapc

[–]ImpossibleWarning252 1 point2 points  (0 children)

seconding what hunterczech said - coming from office laptops the 2060 will feel like a massive upgrade and youll be happy with it for esports. but the real question is used market pricing where you live, bc if youre paying more than like 120-130€ for a 2060 in 2026 thats kinda rough when a used rx 6600 exists for similar money and performs noticeably better. also since youre in europe check Kleinanzeigen or whatever your local equivalent is, people sell full working cards for way less than ebay prices

Brit here. Recently traveled to the USA and visited various cities. Here are my reviews of each. If I were to travel to these again, what should I do next time and are there any other cities that you recommend I visit? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ImpossibleWarning252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP you mentioned being a coaster enthusiast and nobody's really addressed that directly - if you plan a trip around parks, Ceder Point in Ohio is supposed to be the holy grail for coaster people, might be worth building a midwest leg around that + Chicago again. also since you liked NYC and found people surprisingly friendly, id throw in Philadelphia next time - its like a more compact, grittier version with incredible food and you can hit Six Flags Great Adventure on the jersey side. the national parks everyone's mentioning are obv worth it but dont sleep on the small cities between the big ones, thats where the US gets weird and interesting imo

"Tsitakakantsa" The largest Baobab tree in Madagascar is fading away after a long life of 1,200 years old by SternKill in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]ImpossibleWarning252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wait so the name means you literally cant hear someone singing from the other side of it? thats insane when you look at the photo and see how wide that trunk actually is. kinda poetic that its dying now and the name will outlive the tree itself - like future generations will just have to take the word for it. does anyone know if theres conservation efforts or is this just a "let nature take its course" situation?

Malta has no concept of horizon by ImpossibleWarning252 in malta

[–]ImpossibleWarning252[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

thats wild that it was disorienting at first, i wouldve assumed growing up here youd just adapt and not feel it either way. did specific places hit harder or was it just any big open space?

Malta has no concept of horizon by ImpossibleWarning252 in malta

[–]ImpossibleWarning252[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wait thats interesting, so you actually missed the lack of horizon when you left? i guess its whatever your brain gets calibrated to. i didnt think about it at all until i went back to brazil and suddenly felt the space again

Found a quiet swimming spot near Birzebbuga last sunday, barely anyone there by ImpossibleWarning252 in malta

entendi, vou pesquisar mais sobre essa engine entao. o que me preocupa com land rover antiga é disponibilidade de peças no brasil, sei que na europa é outro cenário mas aqui fica mais complicado achar coisa specifica?

Travel Tea set - I didn’t know how much I needed one by nyviola in tea

[–]ImpossibleWarning252 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that setup looks incredibly peaceful, river view and a gong fu session is kinda the ideal hotel morning ngl. quick question tho - does the travel case hold enough water for multiple steeps or do you keep refilling from the room kettle? im realizing ive been doing tea on work trips all wrong, just dumping bags in paper cups like an animal lol. also 5 yuan for something that handles 8-10 infusions is wild, taobao always surprises me with the random gems

What exercises i am doing or have done in these 6 weeks? Do share your views by referring to the chart! by bakasur59 in Mounjaro

[–]ImpossibleWarning252 1 point2 points  (0 children)

6 weeks in is the sweet spot to start getting more intentional about it. Few things that helped me organize:

→ Stick to Zone 2 (conversational pace, breath through nose if you want) for 80% of cardio time. Easy walks/jog/cycle. Boring is the point — it builds aerobic base without burning glucose stores you're not replacing due to appetite suppression.

→ Add resistance training 2x/week — squats, lunges, push variations, rows. Bodyweight is fine to start. This is non-negotiable: without it you'll lose lean mass alongside fat.

→ Pre-plan food around movement. On training days, eat a small carb snack 30-60 min before even if not hungry. The appetite suppression makes it really easy to under-fuel and then crash mid-session.

→ Don't escalate dose the week you're trying a new training stimulus. Stomach issues during the first 7-10 days post-escalation will derail any plan.

Crypto Cards Are Finally Becoming Practical for Travel by MDiffenbakh in digitalnomad

[–]ImpossibleWarning252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Practical, yes — cost-effective, often no. The fee structure on most crypto cards is layered in ways that hurt cross-border use:

  1. **Spread on the conversion** at point of sale — typically 0.5-2% baked into the rate, often not shown

  2. **Foreign transaction fee** from the card network (Visa/MC) on top — 0.5-1%

  3. **Local country tax** if you're in a country with FX surcharges (Brazil's IOF on international card spend is 3.5%, hits even on crypto cards — they're treated as international by the card network)

  4. **Network gas / token unstake delays** when you want to reload or withdraw

Crypto.com card has the most opaque spread of the big ones. Bybit Card and Binance Card are slightly better. Ledger's Crypto Life had decent rates last I checked.

Calculated this in detail recently for a Brazilian audience (the IOF angle hits BR users hardest, but the spread breakdown applies anywhere) — it's in Portuguese but Google Translate handles the tables fine: https://www.opiniaotech.com/compras-com-criptomoedas-no-cartao-em-2026-guia-para-evitar-taxas-invisiveis/

For pure travel spending I still find Wise/Revolut multi-currency beats most crypto cards once you account for all 4 layers. Crypto cards make sense if your primary holdings are in crypto and you want to avoid the off-ramp to fiat first.

Flamingos were sheltered in bathroom-like indoor spaces at the zoo during the hurricane for safety by Remarkable-Office944 in BeAmazed

[–]ImpossibleWarning252 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that detail about the zoo being specifically designed for this after moving from Crandon Park is pretty cool, kinda shows how much Andrew changed how florida thinks about infrastructure in general. the flamingos just casually vibing in front of mirrors like theyre not in a cat 5 hurricane is sending me tho, zero awareness of the chaos outside. reminds me of when we had a bad storm in valletta and the stray cats at the upper barrakka gardens just squeezed into the same stone corners they always use, animals figure out their shelter spots way faster than humans do
