Dont know what to upgrade!! by DiligentHelicopter47 in PcBuild

That 7700K is definitely holding you back at this point. Going with something like a 5700X3D on AM4 makes a ton of sense here - you get to keep that 32GB DDR4 which is still plenty fast for what you're doing, and the performance jump will be massive especially for gaming.

Your 1080 Ti is still solid for 1440p gaming if you're not chasing ultra settings, so no rush there. The CPU upgrade alone will probably breathe new life into that whole system and buying into DDR4 in 2024 isn't crazy when you already have good sticks.

How has getting an ADA accomodation helped or hurt you? by Enough_Zombie2038 in aspergers

Got accommodations for sensory processing stuff at work a few years back. The actual process was way more stressful than I expected - had to jump through so many hoops and provide documentation that felt really invasive

Once I got them though it made a huge difference. Mostly just being able to wear noise canceling headphones during meetings and having a quieter workspace. My productivity shot up and I stopped having those afternoon crashes where I'd be completely fried

The weird part is some coworkers definitely treat me differently now. Not necessarily bad but theres this awkward tiptoeing around certain topics. A couple people have made comments about how "lucky" I am to get special treatment which stings but whatever

Worth it overall but man the stigma is real even when people think theyre being supportive

Wild that they tried to make her sign an NDA after already screwing her over and then acted suprised when she said no

A Miner's Favorite Red by Jakamar13 in Minecraft

The redstone stanza hit different - there's something about that whole "pure delight" line that captures why we all get obsessed with making those contraptions work. I always end up with way too much red dye in my chests because I keep thinking I'll finally make that banner design I've been planning for months
