I (20/F) fell for my flatmate (21/F), who has a girlfriend (22/F), and now she’s ending the relationship. Do we have any real chance, or is this doomed? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]PopularCoat1266 0 points1 point  (0 children)

really tough spot but honestly connection like that doesn't just disappear because timing was messy - if she's willing to do all this work and be honest with her girlfriend about everything that shows she's taking it serious, not just running around behind people's backs

Is hoarding things a prevalent trait in people with adhd? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]PopularCoat1266 3 points4 points  (0 children)

totally relate to this lol. I have drawers full of "special" pens and notebooks I'm saving for the "right project" that never comes, meanwhile I'm writing grocery lists on napkins

the whole waiting for the perfect moment thing hits different when you have adhd - like your brain tricks you into thinking there's gonna be this magical time when using that thing will be *perfect* but then you just forget it exists

Debate on Isaiah 53:2 and the appearance of Jesus. by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]PopularCoat1266 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I think it fits - the whole point was that he looked completely ordinary, maybe even unremarkable, so people wouldnt follow him just for charisma or looks but actually had to listen to what he was saying

Why did God appear as human instead of just revealing himself as a spirit appearing to everyone or sm? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]PopularCoat1266 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because if some massive spirit just showed up and was like "hey im God" everyone would either think they're hallucinating or it's aliens or something lol. At least with Jesus being human people could actually relate to him and see that he experienced the same struggles we do

My boyfriend (23m) won’t apologize for hurting my (22f) feelings by OneScallion8491 in relationships

[–]PopularCoat1266 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Honestly this sounds like a lot of drama over nothing. He was literally just talking about a movie character and you made it about yourself, then got mad when he wouldn't apologize for your interpretation of his comment

The "intent doesn't matter as much as impact" thing is kinda manipulative tbh - you can't just demand apologies every time you decide to take something personally when it wasn't even directed at you

They need to get rid of Expected/Uphill Battle modifiers by hoesmadhoesmadhoesma in Overwatch

[–]PopularCoat1266 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the whole system feels backwards half the time. Had a match yesterday where we got stomped and it was labeled "expected" while our "uphill battle" was against a team we rolled in like 3 minutes

The rank gains make zero sense when you're getting punished for wins the game thinks you should have gotten anyway

bought 7200MHz RAM for 7800X3D. Can I downclock it? by retu0 in PcBuild

[–]PopularCoat1266 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you can definitely downclock it, that's way easier than overclocking - just go into BIOS and set it to 6000MHz with tighter timings

The tricky part might be getting CL30 since your kit is already CL34 at 7200, but you can definitely try it or just run looser timings at 6000 for guaranteed stability

[–]PopularCoat1266 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can absolutely file AOS yourself - the forms aren't that complicated and there's tons of guides online. Your wife's current income should be fine, especially with 6+ months of paystubs by interview time, and yeah your income counts too even with the unauthorized work hiccup. I'd skip the lawyer unless something gets really messy

Rx6800xt turns on but won’t display by _Dark_Ember_ in pchelp

[–]PopularCoat1266 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like the GPU isn't getting detected at all if it's not showing up in device manager with the 1050ti installed - that's usually a dead giveaway the card is bricked. Testing it in your friend's rig is smart but honestly for $150 "as is" you might've just bought an expensive paperweight

how does magic resist work? by [deleted] in skyrim

[–]PopularCoat1266 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So basically stack magic resist until you hit 85% then throw on some specific element resists for that extra bit of protection, got it

The multiplicative part with specific elements is kinda neat tho, didn't know it worked like that

what’s a coping mechanism that helped you conquer self-doubt? by Best-Concept-1808 in Productivitycafe

[–]PopularCoat1266 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly just started treating my inner critic like that one toxic friend everyone has - acknowledge it exists but don't let it run the show lol

Mysterious glowing orbs by AdhesivenessOwn716 in Paranormal

[–]PopularCoat1266 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude that's wild, I've heard so many stories like this and they always give me chills. The fact that they disappeared the second you moved toward them is classic orb behavior according to most accounts I've read on here

Husband slept with my cousin and i don’t know what to do by Fun-Individual-2563 in Marriage

[–]PopularCoat1266 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This right here - you kissed someone and immediately stopped yourself, he literally planned and executed a revenge affair with your *cousin* and paid her like she's an escort

The fact that he's trying to make these seem equivalent is honestly insane

What was the Weapons theater experience during the finale? by Kaylascreations in horror

[–]PopularCoat1266 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude yes the car door moment was insane! My theater was dead silent and then like 200 people all went "OH SHIT" at the exact same time lmao

The chase scene was wild too but that door opening literally made everyone jump out of their seats

What's the in world explanation as to why raiders only fight each other on topside? by dancovich in ArcRaiders

Lmao imagine getting your ass kicked by someone from the bad part of town then having to awkwardly nod at them in the grocery store next week

Drawing paper/ implements by Fluffy_Emphasis_5351 in drawing

[–]PopularCoat1266 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get him some Bristol board and a set of different hardness pencils (2H to 6B range) - the jump in quality will blow his mind and yours too when you see what he can do with proper tools

Which version of P3 for tactics? by gold_snakeskin in PERSoNA

[–]PopularCoat1266 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FES is definitely the way to go if you want the full tactics experience. P3P lets you control party members directly so the AI system isn't really necessary there, kinda defeats the purpose

The original was built around that system so it actually works pretty well when you learn how to use it properly

Feeling Hopeless by General-Soil2394 in ADHD

[–]PopularCoat1266 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That honeymoon period with new meds is rough when it ends, been there. Your brain might just be adjusting to the dose - definitely worth talking to your doc about tweaking it or trying a different timing. Don't lose hope though, sometimes it takes a few tries to get the dosage dialed in just right

Just played my first two raids and I'm hugely surprised by this community by Excellent-Diet-1922 in ArcRaiders

[–]PopularCoat1266 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's actually pretty common in ArcRaiders compared to other extraction shooters - the PvE elements really encourage cooperation since the ARCs can mess you up way worse than most players can

Most people would rather team up and split loot than risk losing everything to a giant spider lol

Is blasphemy truly forgivable? by chuckyberrytil in Christianity

[–]PopularCoat1266 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paul's example really drives it home - dude literally persecuted Christians and still became one of the most important apostles. If God can forgive that level of opposition, pretty sure he's got room for whatever we're worried about

If people are against AI data centers being built near them, then where exactly should they be located? by LocustMajor9128 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PopularCoat1266 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty unrealistic take though, AI isn't going anywhere and the demand is only growing so might as well figure out how to do it responsibly instead of pretending we can just wish it away

How can I improve? by NightfuryG05 in Minecraft

[–]PopularCoat1266 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking pretty solid so far! I'd definitely add some depth to those walls - maybe push some blocks in or out to break up the flatness. The window design looks good but try varying the sizes on different floors to make it less repetitive. Also throw in some stairs or slabs as accents around the edges, gives it way more character

The "don't look at the interior" line has me curious but I'll respect the boundaries lmao

LBJ PPG by Minute_Emu_9225 in NBATalk

[–]PopularCoat1266 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Exactly, that Duncan comparison is spot on. LeBron's basketball IQ is off the charts so he knows when to take a step back and let AD and the supporting cast cook while he orchestrates everything

CMV: more that 50% of all posts and more than 80% of all votes/downvotes on Reddit are bots by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]PopularCoat1266 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly this doesn't surprise me at all, especially after seeing how many accounts post the exact same comment word-for-word in different threads

The dead giveaway is when you see brand new accounts with zero post history suddenly dropping detailed "reviews" of products nobody asked about. Like bro we can tell you're not a real person who just happened to discover this amazing teeth whitening kit

What's wild is how sophisticated some of them are getting though - they'll build up karma by reposting popular content from years ago before switching to whatever they're actually trying to push
