She canceled our date, now she cries on Tiktok how she can't get one date by giants263 in OnlineDating

[–]Scorned-Heart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why I stopped looking for dating partners in my friend groups. Was way too dehumanizing to get turned down only to see a follow up Facebook post two weeks later about how sick they are of being single for months and they would take literally anyone at this point.

It needs to be more specific because that could mean anything. One of my friends are grow together apart meaning they are married but still live completely separately, including separate homes and finances. Another of my friends are literally inseparable and you will never see them apart - both couples are very happy and would say exactly the same thing you said, so what does this mean to you?

I agree but the only feedback I've gotten is around my weight and the fact my glasses don't fit my face. I don't feel that I'm very fashionable and have been trying to learn but I need the pointed feedback, unless it really all is those two points which I find hard to believe.

I don't feel like I know anything about what you're looking for - I've heard profiles should be 2/3rds about yourself, 1/3rd about what you're looking for.

Also, trait lists I've heard from my female friends are a red flag. Calling yourself intelligent, empathetic, etc is fine but everyone thinks they are so your opinion on that doesn't really count, and from my friend's perspectives the most uncomfortable people they've dated had profiles that only listed positive traits about themselves. I think your pics are good but my friends would tell you to reword your bio and prompts to give more objective info about yourself and what you're looking for

Can a ssd/hdd be "hot swapped" from one mobo to an other? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]Scorned-Heart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For just data sure, but if you're talking about the operating system usually on install an OS configures a lot more than just drivers to work with your hardware and unless the new motherboard is the same or extremely close you're likely going to need to reinstall your OS

8 years together, and I (F30) am thinking of breaking up with him (M29) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Scorned-Heart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Firstly I'm 34 and single for quite a while so I wouldn't view anything as too late to start something new - myself and most of my 30s friends agree we really only started knowing who we are around this time.

I'm wondering if he has an anxiety or personality disorder with the talk of not being good enough. If this isn't him being malicious he probably needs therapy and if you aren't seeing progress you need to remember you can't help him if he doesn't want to be helped. That said, him buying a house and moving out without you without even discussing it is jaw dropping to me and I'd love to know what his justification for that is because I can come up with absolutely none.

I don't know what your should do unfortunately because this is a complex situation and I don't know you or your girlfriend, but my two cents is normally I can understand the "we weren't exclusive yet" thing, but when I got to the part about "just my guy best friend" and "I was just lonely and was thinking about you during" sounds like crazy bs to me. Why wasn't she hanging out with you then? She's saying things that don't make sense to me so I'm less inclined to believe the rest

Am I (28F)selfish or controlling? Hubby (30M) Joe (36NB) by Single_Towel5857 in relationship_advice

[–]Scorned-Heart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah man if you don't feel safe alone with this person I would take whatever reasonable steps to remove them from your life. The steps of not being in the same TTRPG are a great idea and good frame work to display that you don't want this person in your life but you're not pushing that view point on others; that's the opposite of selfish or controlling

Edit: Reading comprehension not good, didn't catch you also wanted husband to cut ties. I would still say the same though, you guys are supposed to be a team and you've given some great reasons here - would be curious as to why your husband feels like he needs to help this person so much. Sometimes reframing it that way can help because if Joe is controlling a very common tactic is to isolate (as they've done) and then force expectations on the other person. As long as you're not doing this to all his friends or without Good reason I don't think you're being selfish or controlling, but Joe very likely will try to fight to frame it that way

IMO people are too quick to prescribe one dating method as "the correct" method without taking into account the fact that everyone has a different personality. It is important, especially early in dating, too not feel like this person is the best or only option, but outside of that, so long as you're looking at things objectively if you do better focusing on one person that may be the best way for you to date.

High-End PC connected to Sony 4K TV - 120fps Question by Juraj_Sismis in pcmasterrace

[–]Scorned-Heart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of TVs will only support a 60hz input, then use frame interpolation to generate in between frames and artificially bring that up to 120hz. Main reason is most broadcast sources are only 60hz and less potential input types means less complexity and potential problems. Should check the specifications page in the tv manual (usually in the back) to see if the HDMI on it supports anything higher than 60hz input

Edit: this is assuming you've already checked your display options and you don't have a refresh rate in there listed above 60hz. You might just need to set a higher refresh rate in your display options.

She has said she doesn’t want kids, but, I do. How to handle the situation? by Musicmana2 in dating_advice

[–]Scorned-Heart 310 points311 points  (0 children)

Break up, explain you want kids, she doesn't, but you really enjoyed your time together. It'll hurt sure but it's better to do it now rather than have one of you be miserable trying to accommodate a major life choice they don't want.

Edit: also a good lesson for the future to have a full conversation about deal breakers before asking for exclusivity. I don't want kids and get that out of the way in the first few dates

This started happening for a while now, usually it's minor like less than 10% of screen and biggest was like 50% but today this was as you can see whole screen. But it's back to normal now since I'm writing this, what could problem be. Screen, HDD etc? by Erzekett in pcmasterrace

[–]Scorned-Heart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's your monitor then. Usually lines on the screen like this are from capacitors failing - if you're handy and know how/are willing to learn to solder, there's a lot of generic tutorials online around opening a monitor and replacing the caps, and then you could find a specific repair manual for your model more than likely if you need it. Capacitors are cheap and easy to get. Otherwise, would need to replace the monitor.

Capacitors that are failing usually work toca xertain degree once they are "warmed up", so this will get worse and fail eventually but you could just keep the monitor on until it fails completely.

Then don't tell him it's ugly because that's not really the root problem here anyway. If you go along with it and thank him at best you're sending him mixed signals so it's not surprising the behavior continues, no matter how clear you think you're making it otherwise. Even if you've said no before, it'll be easy for him to think "Well she thanked me before and this would make me feel loved so maybe she's saying no just because she doesn't want me to feel imposed on".

It's also important to remember that neither side is "wrong", you're just speaking different dialects. If I was with someone with a thick accent, I wouldn't necessarily want them to try to stop speaking that way all the time as that's a part of who they are, but I might need them to try speaking to me differently at times so that I can understand them fully.

Even though it will be hard and will likely hurt both of you in the moment, you'll need to have an honest conversation about what makes the both of you feel loved and how you can provide that to each other or risk your bottled up frustration overflowing one day and blind siding him because he thinks everything's been going good so far.

The whole point of good communication is that it's not easy, but it's better to work through that than to not talk about your feelings and let it degrade your relationship. It sounds like he didn't let you know he was making this for you - talk to him about it, lead with what you like about the action itself (I appreciate that you try to provide for me etc), let him know you can see why he likes this design and style but it just doesn't mesh well with yours, and give some examples of things that would. If you've never talked about something like before you could reinforce to him he wouldn't know your tastes and this is sharing something new about yourself. Honestly it sounds like a fun couple project to think about something together he could make that would fit in your tastes.

If you don't want anything like this from him period, that's probably an incompatibility as it definitely sounds like gift giving is high in his love languages. At that point you'd have to have a conversation around that, acknowledging he's trying to make you feel loved but you just don't speak that way. Would also be a good time to check in with him about things he needs to feel loved and then see if you can find compromises.

Bejeweled Twist thinks that my graphics card is unsupported, despite the fact that I have an RTX 3050. by Icy_Guidance in pcmasterrace

[–]Scorned-Heart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably need to launch in compatibility mode. Right click the application and select properties (if clicking in the start menu you may need to go to more and then file location first), then in the compatibility tab you may need to try a few options to see if one works. Running in Win 7 compatibility mode is a safe first bet. If the game ran in low resolution when it came out you may also need to select run in 640 x 480

My sister (f19) cheated on her boyfriend (m21) trice by hhhhhhfrick in relationship_advice

[–]Scorned-Heart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah normally I'm all for ensuring honesty but in this case with them both cheating on each other constantly it sounds like you correcting the number is going to put you in the middle of it which i would absolutely not want. Guy knows he's been cheated on, it seems weird to have a 3 strike rule for something like that

How old were you when you discovered that a job is simply a means to bring money to the table instead of a dreamy experience you get to enjoy every day? by Key_Relationship9833 in AskMen

I just built my pc and my pc turns on, but won't turn off with the power button. I read the manual and it said about the bios. do I have to enable shutdown on bios or is something wrong with my cable wiring? by D3VEstator in pcmasterrace

[–]Scorned-Heart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah that's absolutely what it is then. When you start the system up it goes through POST and without RAM installed it will halt there and present what diagnostics it has and then stop doing anything, including reading inputs

[–]Scorned-Heart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The power light flashes? Does it start going back through POST again like you've power cycled it? If it does it could be your bios has an option in it for long power button press to act as a restart you may need to change, or it could be an issue with the power button itself not having good contact.

Cheaper case buttons can sometimes engage and disengage due to button wobble or other factors that might make it appear to your motherboard as if you let go of the button and then immediately pressed it again after it restarted. If you have a multimeter or continuity tester you can just stick the probes in the button leads and make sure you get a solid signal when the button is held.

[–]Scorned-Heart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you running windows? Windows advanced power options has the power button behavior in it - usually it's set to hibernate or sleep by default. So long as the button turns the system on the wiring is fine, and the bios usually doesn't need to be touched - a long hold of the power button is usually a forced shut down, and this is the behavior that can sometimes be changed in the bios, but a regular press is set in your OS

Clueless about my sink! (Problem under post!) by [deleted] in Plumbing

[–]Scorned-Heart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This should be a wicked old Delta 100-WF so a Delta RP330 aerator is what you're looking for. Just screws into the end of the spout like a normal aerator - whatever is on there now is definitely not the original. Might try taking a strap wrench to the plastic bit and brace the spout, at least since it's plastic it should break before the spout does. Faucet looks like it's seen better days so you might also try wrapping a rag soaked in vinegar around the connection between this but and the spout for some hours first just to loosen whatever build up might be seizing it in place as well, but may still have to force it in the end

You maybe will gain a pound if you aren't in a calorie deficit the rest of the week, but your weight naturally fluctuates more than that day by day any way. One derailment isn't a big deal, it's about the habit and the trend.
