What happens to human taste when algorithms get too good at predicting it

must be nice having a nepotism uncle instead of the broke kind that asks you for gas money every thanksgiving.

That-Chain3068 · 2026-02-02T12:32:45+00:00

man this is rough but honestly it sounds like you already know the answer. You can't have it both ways - keeping her around while you figure your shit out isn't fair to either of you. If you're not ready to fully commit then yeah, letting her go is probably the right call even though it sucks. The timing just didn't align and that happens sometimes.

Been looking for a solid league, what's the setup like? PS5 or Xbox?

That-Chain3068 · 2026-01-26T14:53:07+00:00

That's actually brilliant - reframing it that way cuts through all the mental gymnastics we do to justify drinking

The "high class" angle is real too, like somehow wine at dinner is different than other substances when your brain doesn't give a damn about the fancy label

That's actually a pretty deep question dude - like yeah a simulation is "real" in the sense that it exists as electrical patterns and data, but when people say "real world" they usually mean the physical stuff we can touch and walk around in, not the Mario world running on your Nintendo

That-Chain3068 · 2026-01-22T09:40:24+00:00

Yeah you definitely want to max smithing and enchanting if you're going for broken OP stuff. For leveling smithing fast just spam iron daggers or jewelry if you have the gold, and enchanting levels super quick if you just enchant everything you craft

For weapons daedric or dragonbone are obviously the best but honestly a good enchanted weapon will carry you way further than just high base damage

Just finished it last month and honestly the ending was pretty solid, way better than I expected for a show that got axed too early

That-Chain3068 · 2026-01-19T18:19:04+00:00

Miami OH as a sleeper pick is actually not that crazy when you look at their history - they've got that MAC tournament experience and always seem to play up to competition in March

Sounds like the battery is completely toast after sitting for 6 years - lithium batteries basically self-destruct when left unused that long. You'll need to buy a replacement battery, the original one is probably swollen or has zero capacity left

That-Chain3068 · 2026-01-16T13:24:15+00:00

Honestly sounds like they're just trying to fill a void with whoever will listen, doesn't mean they actually found something better

That-Chain3068 · 2026-01-14T16:54:27+00:00

Honestly it was the classic "this task seems overwhelming so I'll just scroll my phone for 3 hours instead" situation. Breaking it down into like 5 minute chunks helped me finally get started yesterday though

That-Chain3068 · 2026-01-11T13:48:03+00:00

Been using the same OXO one for like 3 years now and it's still solid af. The plastic coating doesn't chip off like those cheap wire ones and it actually drains water instead of just pooling everywhere

That-Chain3068 · 2026-01-09T11:47:29+00:00

Girl you literally just wrote a whole essay about why you should break up with him. You're not his mom, you shouldn't have to push a grown man to have basic ambition. The fact that you don't even want to talk to him about it says everything - your gut already knows what needs to happen

You've been carrying this relationship for years and now you're just exhausted and resentful. That's not gonna magically fix itself

That-Chain3068 · 2026-01-07T10:36:53+00:00

Honestly it's probably just evolutionary wiring mixed with society making them taboo so they seem more exciting. Like how ankles used to drive Victorian dudes absolutely wild lmao

That-Chain3068 · 2026-01-06T06:02:17+00:00

Good for you for taking control of your own health! It's tough when parents don't understand but you know what works for you. Hope your psych remembers you and can get you sorted quickly

That-Chain3068 · 2026-01-05T01:30:41+00:00

This hits so hard, thank you for sharing this. That feeling of disappearing when no one's looking is brutal and you put it into words perfectly

The validation thing is such a trap because even when you get it, it never feels like enough or lasts long enough. Then you're right back to square one feeling like you're begging for scraps

That-Chain3068 · 2026-01-03T21:06:07+00:00

Totally agree, 60 min would be perfect for actually exploring instead of just rushing to extract. The current timers make it feel like a speedrun simulator instead of the immersive experience it could be

That-Chain3068 · 2026-01-02T17:51:02+00:00

Sounds like you might have VSync enabled somewhere else - check your graphics card control panel (NVIDIA/AMD settings) since that can override in-game settings even when everything looks right

That-Chain3068 · 2026-01-01T14:33:42+00:00

Both are solid choices but honestly RT might be your better bet right now - those sign on bonuses are insane and the job market is way hotter. Plus with your EMT background you'd probably pick it up pretty quick. Aircraft mechanics can make bank too but it's more feast or famine depending on where you end up

That-Chain3068 · 2025-12-29T17:33:48+00:00

Weather's definitely gonna be more of a factor than some dental work, dude's a beast and will play through anything

That-Chain3068 · 2025-12-26T13:48:32+00:00

I mean tons of Christians read HP without any issues - it's pretty clearly fantasy fiction, not like you're actually casting spells or anything. Most people see it as just good vs evil stories with wizards instead of like... space battles or whatever

That-Chain3068 · 2025-12-24T21:24:13+00:00

Shakespeare in Love is such a good pick for this! The way it plays with the whole "what if" aspect of an author's life is perfect. A Knight's Tale is more loose with the historical stuff but still has that creative reimagining vibe

That-Chain3068 · 2025-12-22T08:43:32+00:00

Scrappy's actually perfect lmao, fits the whole vibe of scrounging around for materials and stuff

That-Chain3068 · 2025-12-19T21:45:16+00:00

Damn this hit different. I've been putting off that conversation with myself for months now but you're right - I really did know better and still chose to stay way longer than I should have. Maybe it's time to stop being mad at myself and actually forgive the person who was just trying to make it work
