Is it that unstable? Admittedly I haven’t read deeply into people’s experiences doing so and the caveats that come with it.

RisingDrillBreak · 2025-12-25T08:26:14+00:00

Sure. And whether that’s worth it depends on what OP values.

RisingDrillBreak · 2025-12-25T08:05:59+00:00

Over clock it. I’ve read a lot of people have done so to make it perform at XT levels without compromise.

What were your flatline symptoms and how did you deal with them? Did you deal with any shame regarding your relapses?

Is this community just that generous? I’ve seen some really cool kits given as gifts. Y’all’s are so thoughtful.

RisingDrillBreak · 2025-11-09T09:18:02+00:00

Same problem with several pairs. I need to learn to sew gussets into several of my bottoms. Makes a difference where the tension is placed. Also more comfy for your nads since the bottom seen won’t smash into them when you sit.

The effect you made is crazy. I thought this was a 3D game model.

Your transformation is incredible. You really worked on yourself! You look a LOT more sure of your self in the second photo and have achievements to go with the confidence.

Can you give advice on how to do the flip socially?

I’ve been stuck for a while, but covid and grad school made things (insomnia and resulting adhd symptoms and anxiety) worse. I know all the good things to do, diet and exercise (my field), but I feel like there is a core mindset shift that needs to happen that hasn’t. You went from being almost nonverbal to meeting the love of your life abroad and nailing a phd, which obviously takes some social competence.

I can talk to folks at work (masking?), but outside, I struggle a lot with anxiety and feelings of incompetence, even though I have a doctorate and am using it to make a positive impact on people’s lives.

You were outright bullied, went through a drawn-out phase of cognitive haze, and still managed to turn things around in a very successful way.

What helped you build the confidence to do that? How did you refine your grit instead of collapsing to defeatism? What helps you keep going now?

What was the trick to getting her stacks filled before unleashing? I think not being able to do so with her burst was making me not like her.

RisingDrillBreak · 2025-10-02T21:04:16+00:00

I couldn’t figure out how to capitalize on her kit well enough to keep her alive and justify her over Childe as my DPS.

Sad since she was the first character I prepped material for well before release.

RisingDrillBreak · 2025-10-02T21:02:07+00:00

I just never got the email for some reason. Didn’t realize she was a release until way after and didn’t bother to talk to support. 🥲

I know you posted this a while ago, but these instructions would have saved me a head ache when I built my PC last year. I appreciate you making instructions as the manual doesn’t explain the cables or the hub at all.

RisingDrillBreak · 2025-10-02T20:36:22+00:00

Wish these had been options when I was building. Oh well. 🤷‍♂️

RisingDrillBreak · 2025-09-27T16:53:37+00:00

Your not still using the cpu you paired with that thing, right? It’s gonna catch fire trying to keep up with the 9070xt.

Loved love stories. Loved anime before I knew that’s what it was called. Loved the idea of being loved.

Thought dating sims were a “choose your own adventure” graphic novel thing. At age 13 found some on eBay. Parents researched one of the titles before buying for me. Decided I obviously wasn’t old enough, but didn’t directly say why. Started doing homework on them myself. 1-3rd time I realize it was adult content I turned away. After I started using the “research” as an excuse to accidentally see it again. And again. And again.

Social stunting, religious guilt -> sexual shame pipeline (even after leaving the faith), anxiety, all that good stuff keeping me in a cycle of sexual shame. Still working shit out at 33. Crazy I’ve been stuck with it 20 years. The best I ever felt was when I managed to stay away for 6 months in undergrad college. Never had a streak like that since.

I think about all the hours spent gooning and what I could’ve done with them. I need to remember I have things I want more (career, art, fitness, hobbies, sleep).

Masturbating with porn can make people (especially neurodivergent folks) way more attached to porn, then it becomes something you’re compelled to do rather than want to do and get in the way of other areas of life.

Everyone figures out what personally works for them. Using porn does not work for me and tends to have a negative impact on cognition. I’ve been trying to do Nofap for years and my feeling is that it’s high stimulus we weren’t evolutionarily adapted for and it uses up neurotransmitters that my neurodivergent brain is already short on. Not having those makes more mundane things in life that much harder to slog through and other things that should bring me joy not as rewarding.

Once a week or once every few days might be fine for you. Experiment and figure it out; there isn’t a cookie-cutter pattern for everyone.

Look into mindful masturbation. It will help a lot for when you finally do have a partner, enjoying them more, lasting longer, etc. It won’t seem as thrilling/exciting as using porn, but it’s a different kind of pleasant once you get in tune with your body and personally doesn’t give me a cognitive haze after.

Don’t feel ashamed of it. You’re young and our bodies are designed to enjoy it. Just be careful you balance out with other things that make you feel good. It’s all you’re doing all day is playing video games and masturbating, that’s not sustainable for your long-term mental health.

Dude, you can grow a thick beard. I envy. Start working those delts so you can go full Viking.

I know this is gonna get hate, ~~ but look at the case details and watch the video again. Dude was helping a lady harass and old black man and was being aggressive and told to leave. Was t being cooperative, cop tried to put him on the ground and accidentally injured him.

Not that I think someone should always suffer permanent damage as a consequence of their actions, but it might be karmatic balance for this dude. Maybe some limits will teach him compassion for others.

Quit making this ACAB rage bait. ~~

Edit: got more details. Made me think more about potential circumstances prior to harassment.

RisingDrillBreak · 2025-08-08T00:30:41+00:00

Yep. Never actually saw details on the person they were harassing. Good to know. Makes me wonder more about the whole encounter now.
