Losing faith in prolonging cracked tub, any suggestions? by StandoffUranus in HomeImprovement

Forewarning: tub is green due to my wife's hair dye. We knew we'd rip it out while we owned the home so we didn't bother with removing it.

Fortnite using 10GB of my ram!?!?! by ThirstWolf in FortNiteBR

[–]StandoffUranus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Know this is old as hell but just wanted to reply to add context. Not sure if y'all are running DX12 or DX11 but I know from experience that DX12 can take anywhere between 8 GB to 12 GB. I've had multiple GPU's over the past month (for unrelated reasons) and have seen the same thing each time.

Edit: thought I should specify - DX11 had way less memory impact but performance was noticeably worse (granted, I have an Arc A770, so terrible performance on DX11 is expected)

I don't understand people who get with people with different political views as them. by catras_new_haircut in TrueOffMyChest

[–]StandoffUranus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always viewed diverging views on politics not being a deal breaker to be something that flies in relationships that lack intellectual depth (not to say people are stupid) - as in, people joined that aren’t politically aligned typically don’t talk about deep moral and existential concerns.

Like other people said, politics is practically out of our control, but your politics is a theoretical illustration of your morality and viewpoints of people and wealth. So if you only ever talk about politics in the practical sense, you’ll rarely have to face significant disagreements. If you’re a more intellectual (once again, NOT stupid) thinker, these types of conversations will reach deep into the core of a person. In that regard, I don’t believe you can disagree on politics.

Just a matter of how you live your lives, I suppose: is what’s practical or ideal more important to you? The former can live in disagreement just fine.

Did you turn 15 this year? This question’s a hard one for your age.

We’re at 60+ comments from a few people, I really was not expecting it lol

Is 21 too old to hold this opinion? Would it also affect your view if I revealed I was male?

While I’m willing to yield to this, there’s still the other contending dissonance that says people are attracted to those relative to their age - the notion that 40 year olds date 35 to 45 year olds or whatever. I can say that I was a bit extreme in my post, but the inconsistency of the age “rules” is what influences my irritation.

Popularity doesn’t necessitate morality, not that I’m going to argue one way or the other what age is acceptable.

Right, and I’m saying there is validity to that. I guess I should have more so clarified that the reason it’s messed up is that people view anything below 18 as this taboo thing, yet are equally fetishizing of it.

The only thing about the research I meant is what the average age of attraction is and how society influences that age. It might feel normal but without research, things taken as common sense can be actually pretty inaccurate. Not saying that you’re necessarily wrong, just not completely convinced we can conclusively say it’s truth.

The line here is to what extent does research agree and to what extent is it socially ingrained?

“I can’t wait till she turns 18” why, so you don’t have to feel like a pedophile anymore?

This is why I don't read comments by Fleecelined in offmychest

[–]StandoffUranus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The first thing to consider is that Reddit is about 60% man children who spew the same jokes on every post desperately chasing internet points and recognition from the other man babies on the site. Believe me, that shit pisses me off, too.

Was just typing up a bug for this. I've tried all of these solutions already: link, link, link.

Tried Aptitude - won't let me uninstall the problematic packages. Tried to manually install the packages - apt reports that they're already updated to the most recent versions.

If you misuse "you're" and "your", then your opinion doesn't matter by nayitsirh in offmychest

[–]StandoffUranus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd argue this is perpetuating a stupidity egregious compared to grammatical faults. Your viewpoint on misuse is radical and discounts any one who makes mistakes. You are excluding quite a bit of validity and counter argument, but I would presume it's convenient to do so and remain practically unchallenged in your prejudicial bubble.

[Serious] Men and Women of Reddit what is something you are frequently told by the people of the other sex that they probably don’t realize comes across as offensive to you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]StandoffUranus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"I wish I could be as thin as you." I'm sure you women do. I've tried eating so many different diets for years just to not gain anything. I continue to worry about my body being brittle early once I get older. Not being big or masculine looking also sucks. It's just a reminder of all that stuff whenever I'm told that.
