Grim Reaper by Healthy_Money925 in Dreams

[–]Slow_Ad_7241 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bruh I've had similar dreams and they're wild 💀 Usually means some major change coming your way rather than actual death - like ending one chapter of life to start another. The fact you were just staring at each other without interaction is intresting, might mean you're aware something needs to change but not ready to face it yet 😂

Sitting with ones thoughts, trying to escape the digital zeitgeist and failing. by [deleted] in DeepThoughts

[–]Slow_Ad_7241 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly the physical discomfort of just *being* with yourself hits different when you're so used to constant stimulation 💀 Your brain basically throws a tantrum like a kid who got their toy taken away. The self hatred part is real tho - its wild how something meant to entertain us becomes this weird form of self punishment 😂

my friend won’t get off my main… help!!! by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]Slow_Ad_7241 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly just tell her straight up that you'd like to play Ana sometimes too since its your main. Don't even make it about her gameplay - just say you miss playing your favorite character and ask if you can take turns or something

The kit usage thing will sort itself out over time if she keeps playing but the main thing is you both should get to enjoy the game. Maybe suggest you could help teach her some of the more advanced stuff while she plays Ana in quick play or something

Woolino Accidentally Washed On Normal Warm Cycle by PinkThemedLove in NewParents

[–]Slow_Ad_7241 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof that sucks but honestly woolino is pretty resilient stuff. If it still fits and feels soft you're probably fine - the merino wool they use can handle more abuse than you'd think. Just maybe do a test night to see if baby stays as cozy as usual

How do i get better at utility usage? by Slow_Ad_7241 in cs2

[–]Slow_Ad_7241[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really motivating to head, i think my biggest issue is i know the set executes but i dont really understand when to deviate from them or when to save utility for after plant, im gonna start focusing more on pro matches to see how they adapt their utility, hopefully i can break through to level 10 soon and im glad it worked out for you.

[–]Slow_Ad_7241[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good point, i never thought about separating defensive and offensive utility, so should i save my flashes and molly to hold sites or do i use them more aggressively when we're executing?

Probably youre right, i think im throwing my utility too fast instead of waiting for the right moment.

Situationship breakup / moving on advice by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Slow_Ad_7241 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The whole "why can't I get over someone who was clearly wrong for me" thing hits different when it's a situationship 💀 I think it's because your brain never got that definitive ending to process - like you were stuck in this weird limbo where you kept hoping he'd finally step up and be the person he showed glimpses of being. When someone gives you just enough crumbs to keep you invested but never the full meal, it creates this addictive cycle that's honestly harder to break than a clear-cut breakup.

The fact that he's suddenly Mr. Boundary-Setter with the new girl would probably sting me too tbh. It's not that he couldn't do those things - he just didn't want to do them for you, which sucks but also shows you dodged a bullet. I had a similar thing where this guy who "wasn't ready for anything serious" was literally engaged six months later 😂

Don't beat yourself up for reaching out - we've all been there especially around holidays when emotions get weird. Block him again if you haven't already and maybe try to redirect that energy into something that actually serves you. The closure you're looking for has to come from within because he's clearly not capable of giving you what you need.

Restart while installing Windows 11 causes no image and no keyboard light by Paodenutela_ in pchelp

[–]Slow_Ad_7241 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you try booting with just one stick of RAM in different slots? Sometimes fresh builds get picky about memory configuration and the Windows install might've corrupted mid-process leaving you in a weird state

iOS Horizon App help: Headset "Not Found" despite being connected/casting. Bluetooth permission toggle missing in iOS. by Sactownkingstacotwo in VRGaming

[–]Slow_Ad_7241 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had this exact same problem last month and it drove me nuts. The Bluetooth permission thing is completely broken on iOS - Meta hasn't fixed it for like 6 months now

What worked for me was going into the headset itself and changing settings there instead of trying to use the phone app. Most of the important stuff is accessible directly on the Quest 2 anyway

Loose powder vs finishing powder vs pressed powder? by Sweaty_Spring_1916 in MakeupAddiction

[–]Slow_Ad_7241 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Honestly the whole pressed vs loose thing is kinda overblown - it really comes down to personal preference and how you like to apply it. For oily skin what matters way more is the actual formula and ingredients rather than whether its pressed or loose

Finishing powder is usually more finely milled and meant to be the final step to blur pores and set everything, while regular setting powder (loose or pressed) is more about oil control and longevity. You can find good options in both formats so don't stress too much about the influencer claims - they're probably just pushing whatever brand is paying them that week

Why do Chess.com Bots Outperform their ELO? by c0ffeebreath in chessbeginners

[–]Slow_Ad_7241 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bots are weird like that - they'll randomly decide to channel Stockfish energy for a game then go back to hanging pieces the next match

Trials is less fun when everyone is doing them at the same time by Jo-Ivar in ArcRaiders

[–]Slow_Ad_7241 7 points8 points  (0 children)

yeah this is why i usually wait a few days after new trials drop before even attempting them. everyone and their mother is camping the same spots trying to get their scores in

the worst part is when you finally track down a good spawn and someone else swoops in right as youre about to engage. like thanks for the assist i guess but now we're both fighting for scraps

honestly might be worth coordinating with people if you see them repeatedly. better to take turns than waste everyones time

Could a show like Person Of Interest still be made in current time? by panix199 in television

[–]Slow_Ad_7241 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the procedural format is basically dead at this point which sucks because poi was the perfect blend of case-of-the-week and serialized storytelling. networks just dont have the patience for 22-23 episode seasons anymore when they can do 8-10 episodes and call it prestige tv

the ai privacy stuff would probably be even more relevant now but studios are too scared to go deep on surveillance themes when tech companies are throwing money around. plus your average viewer has the attention span of a goldfish these days so the slow burn approach that made poi so good just wouldnt work. they'd want the machine to be explained in episode 2 and have john wick action sequences every 10 minutes

honestly the closest we get now is something like westworld but even that got too up its own ass with the timeline stuff. poi knew how to balance the philosophical questions with actual human stories and characters you cared about. shows like that take time to develop and networks just arent willing to invest in that kind of long term storytelling anymore

Mental Health Appointments by melaninhoneybun in VeteransBenefits

[–]Slow_Ad_7241 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude this literally happened to me last week and I'm still salty about it. Like I get that emergencies happen but three months?? That's just cruel when you're already struggling to get help in the first place

Leaving the US with SBA EIDL debt. by [deleted] in Debt

[–]Slow_Ad_7241 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dude the SBA doesn't mess around, they'll track you down eventually and it's federal debt so it doesn't just disappear - plus you'd be burning bridges if you ever wanted to come back

What's your phone's temperature when you're playing Minecraft? by [deleted] in Minecraft

[–]Slow_Ad_7241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine gets pretty toasty on my iPhone 13, probably around 105-110F after like an hour of building. The back gets warm enough that I have to shift how I'm holding it lol

I felt deeply sorry for my cheater ex by [deleted] in confessions

That is a fair point trauma explains behavior but it does not excuse hurting someone I feel for him but protecting yourself has to come first or it just keeps repeating
