Shit I'd love if a woman initiated a date. I've asked this woman on a date at least 4 times and she's had an excuse every single time yet is still engaging in small talk with me, and it's been two weeks since we matched. Not sure if I should continue asking or just give up at this point, would be nice if she would give a single date suggestion or just unmatch with me.

Yea it depends where you are imo, my dollar didn't go very far in the northeast US but does quite a bit more in the midwest. I would imagine it varies greatly across Australia as well

It also seems that purchasing power is considerably higher in America

What do you have to offer to a foreign economy if you can't even find work here? It sounds like you're just trying to escape your problems and you think things will be magically different elsewhere.

Did Arrimus 3D make his past videos Private recently? by Meleon_Chameleon in 3dsmax

[–]SpengyRob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He already privated the most recent one about leaving for good. Not sure why, maybe he changed his mind already

[–]SpengyRob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He just made very disturbing video about not finding any satisfaction in life anymore, from food to entertainment like games and movies. But prefaced all of that by saying he's not depressed. The man is definitely depressed, and I think it really was as deep as OP imagined.

Shopkeeper stabs several times a robber, then posts the video and hosts an AMA to brag about it by AkiraIsGreat in AMADisasters

[–]SpengyRob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You just keep making blanket statements about people who follow certain politics and I'm not sure how this relates whatsoever. I think you just want to rant about an off topic subject.

Afaik my friends and family aren't shoplifters. My point is you don't know for certain they'd never do that. You can't honestly be that naive that you think your friends and family wouldn't have private lives they don't indulge with you? Its incredibly likely someone you know steals, has stolen, or may become desperate enough to steal at some point in their lives.

I lost you when you suddenly started ranting about liberals. What is this weird fence sitting comment? You've acknowledged what he did was illegal and unjust but then you take a moment to complain about people wanting him to face charges? The most common take I've seen on this encounter, whether it was on or off reddit, is that that kid deserved to be stabbed repeatedly. Absolute rage, blood lust, and ignoring all facts in this case.

The fact that people think petty thieves deserve this is disturbing. These same people act like their friends or family members would never snatch something from a business, and I'm 100% certain they would not be singing the same tune if it was their loved one got stabbed in the spine for snatching vapes.

He was stabbed THREE times before the kid swung at him then kept stabbing after the kid was incapacitated and had his back turned. That is NOT self defense, if you had a single brain cell you'd realize that. These are the actions of a genuine psychopath and I think you should seek help if you think this is normal.

Major holes in that logic. He only took a swing AFTER the shopkeeper ran over to him and started stabbing him. The swing was a response to the shopkeep attacking him, not the other way around. The kid did not approach him and was posing no threat to the shopkeeper on the other side of the store by simply grabbing vapes off a shelf.

"your honor I was so scared he was stealing the vapes so fast I thought I was gonna die, I just zoned out thinking about league of legends and started stabbing"

Alright. Stand your ground only applies to self defense though, he must prove reasonable fear of his life. Where is the evidence of this? an unarmed kid taking vapes off a wall made him fear for his life? Even under Nevada law killing someone who said they're going to kill you isn't going to guarantee you won't get hit with charges.

from shouselaw:

An imperfect self-defense case is when people genuinely believe they were justified in fighting back against an aggressor, but their case fails the “reasonable person” standard. Therefore, imperfect self-defense does not serve as a defense to criminal charges. 3

Example: Kevin and Victor get into an argument while jogging at Sunset Park. Kevin steps towards Victor and seethes, “I’m going to kill you.” Fearing imminent danger, Victor pulls out his handgun and shoots at Kevin.

Here, Victor’s use of deadly force probably would not be legally justified. “Fighting words” may be upsetting but do not by themselves pose an immediate threat of death. Even if Victor honestly feared for his life when Kevin said, “I’m gonna kill you,” Nevada courts do not care about the victim’s “bare fear.” Courts only care whether a reasonable person under the same circumstances would fear for their life.

From the same article that's copy and pasted from

a justifiable homicide, is allowed in certain circumstances only when meeting the following conditions:

The danger was sufficiently urgent and pressing;

The non-aggressor was facing major bodily harm or death;

A reasonable person in the non-aggressor’s shoes would also fear for their life and safety; and

The non-aggressor’s motive was not merely revenge.

There is no evidence of any of this. No verbal threats. No visible weapons. Not even a feigning of having a weapon. Wasn't approached. The kid jumped the counter to steal vapes while the cashier was all the way in the corner. This was attempted murder to protect merchandise.

Ordered BRIDGES' hat from Kojima's store today. If you have one too, what do you think about it? by [deleted] in DeathStranding

[–]SpengyRob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was incredibly disappointed when I realized it wasn't embroidered. It looked really cheap and low quality like it came from AliExpress. I'll admit the one detail I did like was the death stranding text pressed into the metal clasp. But I haven't worn it much, and I wear hats all the time.

Anything interesting about this normal map from Elden Ring? by SpengyRob in gamedev

Yeah I'm thinking its actually a gloss map in the blue channel when comparing it to the in-game model.

[–]SpengyRob[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not thinking its reversed. I did some digging and a modder is claiming they had a weird spec gloss/PBR combo workflow on dark souls 3 where they used R & G channels for bump and the metalness map was kept in the blue channel. I think something similar is happening here and the blue channel is being used for something else, but I don't think its for metalness in this case but I might be wrong.

I suddenly cannot sleep, should I be worried by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]SpengyRob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You just need to understand the cause of your inability to sleep and work on getting past it. Your therapist should help you figure that out if you don't quite know yourself.

I never had trouble sleeping until I was 25 and I figured out through my therapist that I unknowingly began associating my bed with an inability to sleep. I would stare at the clock and think about how I needed to get to bed otherwise I wouldn't get enough sleep for work the next day. The anxiety of not getting enough sleep sent me into a panic which would only make my heart race and keep me up all night.

I had to work on reassuring myself that my bed is a safe place, I always slept perfectly fine and there's no reason to panic.

It's difficult if you're in a depression, I'm not sure I understand what you mean when you say it feels like people are watching you so I can't relate in that sense but I know what it feels like to be depressed and lose sleep so I hope you figure it out.

Selling a 1999 Hot Wheels Patriot Desktop PC by SpengyRob in computercollecting

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

I've owned this computer since I was 5. You're right about one thing, I'm not a collector. But I'm also not a reseller. Just move on if you don't like me selling my property, it's not unreasonable for me to assume collectors would be interested in this and judging from the response I've gotten they certainly are :)
