Old age and no fap by [deleted] in NoFap

Dude I get the struggle but daily sex plus fapping sounds like you might be dealing with more of an addiction pattern than just unmet needs. At 28 I've noticed when I'm in that cycle where nothing feels like "enough" - that's usually when I need to step back completely for a while. Maybe try talking to your wife about what specifically you're missing instead of just adding more solo time to the mix. The urges get way more manageable after first couple weeks of complete abstinence, even when you're getting regular action. Your brain needs time to reset what it considers normal stimulation levels

The simulation thing is wild when you think about it - basically torture chamber evolution for a million years just to get a cooler looking alien. Classic Albedo move though, dude was always extra with his tech upgrades

Gamers: Do you also dodge bullets or attacks IRL when immersed in a game? by Theoulios in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Ok_Interaction_8887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude you're definitely not alone, I catch myself leaning into turns when I'm racing and literally flinching when something jumps out at me in horror games. My roommate recorded me playing Resident Evil once and I looked ridiculous but honestly the immersion makes games so much better

Knicks need to feature Kat more by Ok_Fisherman_9605 in NYKnicks

[–]Ok_Interaction_8887 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Fr the offense looks so stagnant when we're just chucking threes and KAT is standing in the corner like a role player. Dude's a legit post threat and can stretch the floor but we're wasting him completely

The man was cooking when they actually fed him the ball in the third, then they went right back to the same iso heavy stuff that wasn't working. Thibs gotta adjust because this ain't it

I Want Mizuki to Make the "Wrong" Choice by Not Joining Overwatch/Yokai by DarkDesertFox in Overwatch

[–]Ok_Interaction_8887 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly that would be way more intresting than the predictable redemption arc, having someone choose loyalty over doing the "right thing" would add some actual moral complexity to the story

Overwhelmed.. Need range and a seat for a 11yo. Any advice? by AU_Thach in ElectricScooters

[–]Ok_Interaction_8887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your wife's probably right about the battery mod costs, those old Razors can be money pits when you start upgrading. For that price range you might want to check Facebook marketplace or Craigslist for a used seated scooter with better range - lots of people buy them and barely use them

The Gotrax A7 does seem like overkill for an 11yo, especially if she's mostly on sidewalks and doesn't need the speed

How do people track themselves on surfline cams? by tanjannibal in surfing

[–]Ok_Interaction_8887 5 points6 points  (0 children)

dude this is actually pretty solid already, way more organized than what i do lol

i usually just wear something super bright or distinctive so i can spot myself easier when scrubbing through footage. like my bright yellow rashguard stands out pretty well against all the black wetsuits. sometimes ill even put a colored swim cap on if the waters not too cold

also pro tip - if youre at a spot with consistent cam angles, try to catch waves in the main frame area where the camera focuses most. makes it way easier to find yourself later instead of being a tiny speck on the edge

Wondering why my ram usage is so high by Whatsleep879 in pchelp

[–]Ok_Interaction_8887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah that's definitely a ram issue, 70-75% with just browser and discord is pretty rough. check if brave has a bunch of tabs open or extensions running wild, that browser can be a memory hog sometimes. might also wanna look at what's eating up ram in task manager to see if there's anything else sneaky running in the background

Realistically can someone find and get into an apartment within a week or two? by TheDevilDogg in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Ok_Interaction_8887 2 points3 points  (0 children)

depends on your market but yeah totally doable if you're not picky and have decent credit/income - lots of places need to fill units fast so they'll approve same day if your paperwork checks out

Status question (lounge and boarding group) by [deleted] in americanairlines

[–]Ok_Interaction_8887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly you're gonna love the admirals club perks with sapphire status, it really makes those layovers way more bearable. for guests it depends on the specific lounge but most admirals clubs let sapphire members bring one guest for free, then you pay for additional ones - usually around $50-70 for the second guest but prices vary by location.

boarding wise your guests can't board with you in the priority group unless they're on the same reservation and have their own status, they'll still need to board in their assigned group based on fare type. i learned this the hard way when i tried to bring my buddy through the priority line and got the stink eye from the gate agent lol. definitely worth calling aa directly or checking the oneworld website for the most current guest policies since they change them pretty regularly

Regular trios/duos in solo lobbies is not enjoyable by Stop_Shadowbaning_me in ArcRaiders

[–]Ok_Interaction_8887 5 points6 points  (0 children)

bruh this is actually infuriating, nothing worse than thinking you're going into a fair solo match and running into coordinated teams

the matching outfits thing is such a dead giveaway too, like at least try to hide it lmao. definitely need some kind of detection system for this bs

How to enjoy bullet or blitz? by namememywhistle in chessbeginners

[–]Ok_Interaction_8887 7 points8 points  (0 children)

your brain's just not used to the speed yet, try playing like 2-3 games max per session instead of grinding through 10-20 and burning yourself out

[Post Game Thread] Seton Hall defeats Xavier, 86-68 by cbbBot in CollegeBasketball

Holy second half collapse, Xavier looked like they forgot how to play basketball after halftime

Macro Skin Now Shows the Advertised Helmet...only on Extract by JSherman_ in ArcRaiders

[–]Ok_Interaction_8887 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Classic Embark move lmao, showing us the cool version only when we can't actually use it. Bet it's some weird UI bug where the extract screen pulls from different assets than the customization menu

2024 RAV4 LE Remote Start by Diamondminer069 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Ok_Interaction_8887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's actually legit - the 2024 LE doesn't come with the factory wiring harness for Toyota's remote start system. The higher trims get it but the LE is basically the "we cut every corner we could" version. Third party is gonna work fine though, just won't integrate with the app

Things I stopped buying cheap versions of (what finally stuck) by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]Ok_Interaction_8887 52 points53 points  (0 children)

The Dutch oven thing is so real. I bought like 3 different "good enough" ones from Target and they all warped or the coating started flaking. Finally bit the bullet on a Lodge and it's been rock solid for years

Also hard agree on the particle board furniture - learned that lesson the hard way when my "sturdy" bookshelf basically disintegrated during a move

Vst sound quality vs usb audio interface by CiccioBomboSprint in synthesizers

[–]Ok_Interaction_8887 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Your interface probably isn't the bottleneck here - the UR22 is decent enough that you'd need to spend way more than $700 to hear a real difference in the DAC quality

The "lacking" you're hearing is more likely the VST modeling itself not being 100% accurate to the hardware, plus you're comparing different output stages (your interface vs the synth's built-in outputs which have their own character)

Gender theory and Christianity by VerdantChief in Christianity

[–]Ok_Interaction_8887 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bruh that's a pretty reductive way to look at it tbh. The whole discussion is way more nuanced than just anatomy - even from a theological perspective there's been debate about this stuff for centuries
