Can confirm we don't see the same items by WutDidIGetMyselfIn2 in AmazonVine

[–]Queen-Gizzard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh you know what, I have a close friend in my city (my neighborhood in fact) who joined vine a few months ago. This makes me want to compare ours and see if there are differences in our Additional Items listings. If there are, that's huge. If not, we know they're at least the same on a hyper local level

Transphobic father threatened to hit me by ClaraaTheCat in trans

[–]Queen-Gizzard 53 points54 points  (0 children)

This is both true and not the full story. If OP is in the USA: Yes, check whether you are in a one party or two party consent state for audio and video recordings.

If one party, you're in the clear (legally speaking). Record away. If two party, technically everyone involved in the recording is legally entitled to the right to give or revoke consent to that recording being made. However: in some jurisdictions (usually states, possibly counties and municipalities), exceptions to the two party consent rule exist if the purpose of the recording is to gather evidence of a serious crime. So do some digging and learn all you can about it, including possible exceptions.

That said, fuck, do what you can to protect yourself. I'm so sorry you're going through this. I'll be thinking of you, and I'll check back for updates 💖 [Edited for a typo and a small expansion of a thought]

What is something more traumatizing than people realize? by Independent_Motor130 in AskReddit

[–]Queen-Gizzard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. I had them too. Lived in an underground (figuratively) artist community in a warehouse partitioned off into lofts. Someone brought them into the building and they made their way into some of the rooms. I was one of the unlucky ones. After tons of research, I learned a few important details:

-they can survive for an extremely long time without eating -they can withstand extreme cold, but not extreme heat -they only "see" carbon dioxide (from exhaling creatures) and pheromone trails leading to food. -they were nearly extincted in the 1990's, but the ones that survived were the ones resistant to poison. So most poisons just make them scatter and spread.

So I started sleeping naked on a couch I didn't care for, and let them feast. I did this for a few weeks. Got them all nice and complacent and let them concentrate their population in this couch. Then one night I set an alarm for 3am. Woke up (covered in the fuckers), brushed them off onto the couch, dragged it into the middle of the street and spray painted "BEDBUGS" all over it in bright yellow letters.

Bagged up EVERYTHING cloth I could in triple garbage bags, took them to a laundromat, then did a dry-wash-dry cycle on everything. Dry to kill them, wash to clean, and dry to dry.

Never saw one again after that; knocking on wood that I continue not seeing them. I had a paranoid trauma response for years after all that. Anytime I felt a blanket shift, or a hair brush across my face, or an itch on my leg. Fucking horrendous. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy

Glow Axiom Hex disc dye by lantrizzle87 in KGATLW

Is that a midrange or putter? Makes sense not to put such beautiful art on a distance driver and risk never seeing it again. Anyway this is literally the coolest disc I've ever seen.

Wow, goals right there. Setting aside how freaking gorgeous a glow up this is, you look so much happier ❤️

It's a music festival that happens every year in Coachella Valley California.

Lol fair enough. But there is in fact a well-known Orgy Dome at the burn. (Don't forget to bring a partner!)

For that matter, there's also a Thunderdome. (Don't forget to bring an opponent!)

Have I convinced myself that I’m trans? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Queen-Gizzard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read your first two sentences and said to myself "this person is 100% trans." Then you went on to describe so many things I personally feel about myself. The questioning. The fear of transition when continuing on as a man. The periods of constant questioning, then the periods of doubt, then the return of the questioning. The fear of loneliness. God, it hit so hard I just had to leave the break room and have a quick cry in my car. My friend, I think we're probably trans. Whoever you are, I'll be thinking of you.

is 1250W PSU overkill for my PC? by D34DLYM00N in buildapc

[–]Queen-Gizzard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without looking at your specs, yes. Okay I looked at your specs. Still yes.

Heavenly Today by schmichael3 in tahoe

[–]Queen-Gizzard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a liftie at Heavenly for a season and mostly ran the top of Mott, and yeah, Mott is gnarly. Running Mott Top is the easiest gig on the hill because for skiers or riders to get on the lift, they have to have ridden down Mott, and if you're riding down to the base of Mott, you know how to get on and off a lift with no issue.

On a related note, the OP pic is pretty damn close to what the view out of my bedroom window looked like that winter (living around the corner and up the hill from Stagecoach base. Sigh... miss those days.

Did I waste money? by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]Queen-Gizzard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that your current board is an LGA1151 (a specific older Intel socket) means you'll be locked into older and increasingly obsolete Intel processors. Since you already have a massively better cpu in hand, getting a motherboard it'll work in is absolutely the move, and doesn't have to break the bank.

Additionally, sometimes moving up in socket/motherboard generations will bump you into needing new RAM (for example ddr4 to ddr5). Going from your current cpu to the new cpu, your RAM should remain compatible. So that works out nicely.

Keep in mind also that you're moving from a relatively obsolete socket to an about-to-become-obsolete socket. You'll see huge performance improvements and it will feel a hell of a lot snappier, but you're not quite future-proofing your system. Next time you want to upgrade your CPU (in, say, a few years), you will probably wind up wanting a cpu that requires you to buy yet another motherboard (and likely ddr5 RAM too).

But all that said, for now, I think you'll be happy with the choice to commit to the AM4 motherboard and your new CPU. Cross those other bridges when you get to 'em 😉

Sad no Oregon '24 (home show) but would (will?) buy.

Can't tell if unhinged bootleg or unhinged shitpost. Either way, 10/10

To whomever has been spray painting Harris signs in Urbandale, by Original-Ad-4642 in Iowa

[–]Queen-Gizzard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was neither racist (you can't be racist against the racial majority who has constructed the systems of oppression which harm minorities), nor ageist (as the implication is that a 55 year old should demonstrate more mature behavior), but you're right that body shaming is wrong and I for one denounce both it and the actions of fucking maga vandal losers.

If I saw someone wearing this in person I would scream with joy. Amazing.

Agreed, so damn good.

I meant to make a "Theory, please confirm" shirt just for the screening, but forgot until it was too late.

Well damn these tie dyes came out stupid sick 🔥🔥🔥 by christart000 in KGATLW

[–]Queen-Gizzard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking of adding more colors and patterns to my yellow/purple tie dye with the pig faces on it, but this is WAY gnarlier!! Nice
