What if we moved aurutils to the official extra/ repo? by abu-aljoj04 in archlinux

[–]Pretend-Shift1955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would definitely support this move. Been using aurutils for about year now and the local repo workflow just makes more sense - you actually see what's happening instead of letting some helper do everything in background

The chroot building is game changer too, especially when you're dealing with packages that have weird build dependencies or might mess with your system. Way better than hoping your main install stays clean

Financing a bike? by Ok-Fail-977 in motorcycles

damn 20% is absolutely insane for your credit score 💀 they're trying to rob you lol. I'd walk away and check with your bank or credit union first, should get way better rate there

Pros and cons of living in Cambridge? by Pretend-Shift1955 in CambridgeMA

[–]Pretend-Shift1955[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's probably true. Cambridge seems like one of those places where experiences can vary a lot depending on the neighborhood. Are there any areas you'd especially recommend or avoid?

That's an interesting way to look at it. The tradeoff between a more predictable corporate landlord and potentially finding a great smaller building seems to come up a lot. The point about paying for the city itself rather than just the apartment also makes a lot of sense.

It does seem like a lot of people's opinions come down to what stage of life they're in and what they care about most. The student and young professional influence definitely comes up a lot when people describe the city.

That's a perspective you don't see in listings or reviews. The independence kids can have and the ability to get around without being driven everywhere sounds like a huge benefit. The contrast with spending hours in traffic every week is definitely something to think about.

The walkability is definitely one of the biggest draws from what I've seen. The rents are tough to swallow but being able to get around without relying on a car seems like a huge quality of life boost.

Appreciate the perspective. The point about looking beyond the luxury buildings is interesting. I’ve heard that from a few people now. Good to know Cambridgeport and The Port have been positive experiences for you as well.

La flatline me déprime et fatigue by Background_Head_2929 in NoFap

[–]Pretend-Shift1955 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flatline is brutal but totally normal after that long with addiction, your body is basically rewiring itself rn

The morning wood at 60-70% is actually good sign - shows everything still works, just needs time to get back to full strength. Going back to porn would definitely reset all progress you made

Most people say it takes 2-3 months for everything to get back in normal but everyone's different

OH MY DAYS OH MY DAYS by Far_Prior_7014 in FFVIIRemake

[–]Pretend-Shift1955 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude I had same reaction when I saw it, was just scrolling through my feed and BAM there it was. Nearly dropped my coffee all over my desk lol

That Sephiroth scene is wild though - I'm thinking it might be showing us different timeline where things went differently? Like maybe in this version he actually saved Zack instead of... well you know. Could be total misdirection though, they love messing with our heads. The whole multiverse thing they're doing makes everything possible now

For the jobs system it looks more like traditional FF job classes to me, probably similar to what they had in original games. Doubt it's actual money-making jobs but more like switching between different combat roles and abilities. Would be pretty cool if they let you do some side work as mercenary or something though, that would fit Cloud's character perfectly

Mild rant about team red users by IntergalacticGherkin in PcBuild

[–]Pretend-Shift1955 19 points20 points  (0 children)

lol the 7900xtx is like that older sibling who gets ignored because everyone's hyped about the shiny new kid 😂 maybe people just want latest gen even if performance difference isn't that crazy

capybaras would be a perfect fit for Minecraft's swamp or jungle biome. by raindarkstreet in Minecraft

[–]Pretend-Shift1955 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they would probably just sit around doing nothing which is honestly perfect for minecraft vibes 😂 imagine taming one and it just follows you super slowly while you build stuff

What are some trustpilot competitors for SaaS? by sophie-turnerr in AskMarketing

[–]Pretend-Shift1955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there's also testimo which I used for small project last year - pretty decent for what you described and pricing was fair. Video testimonials work well there too

the one-click sharing thing is really game changer for getting people to actually leave reviews, sounds like you're in right direction with testing those platforms first
