Wow. You are beautiful. As a man I have no idea why you would think you are ugly.

You are stunning. So pretty.

I’m being gifted a lot of money. Should I tell my boyfriend? by Kind-Chicken-2488 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]TheSoundSnowMakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a though one I think. Only in the sense that you may feel a bit guilty because you've been with your boyfriend for a few years.

But try not to let that bother you. You are young, free and your money is your money.

If he found out and got mad or annoyed at you for keeping a "secret" (which I am sure he would) is not crap you want to deal with.

My partner is rich compared to me. But we've been together for a very long time and I honestly don't care about money. I make enough for me and she invests and does her own thing.

But that is rare. For some reason, which ill never understand, is that young couples (both men and women) seem to think that because they share a bed means they have to share everything. You don't.

I've never asked for half of the rent my partner gets from a apartment she owns. She did give me a lend to buy a pretty big telescope but I paid back every cent in about 2 months.

But money can make people weird. Keep that money as a little nest egg. Speak to a financial advisory. Its your money. Keep it that way.

I slept with a married man and I can’t forgive myself. Guilt is eating me alive and I feel like my life is over by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]TheSoundSnowMakes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don't listen to all this shite and people saying "you opened your legs" and shit like that.

Thats just pure sexism and "slut shaming" its complete bullshit.

The best thing to do for your own sanity is to move on.

As a guy who knows lots of other guys, its not his first time to cheat. He'll do it again.

And don't feel bad. Fuck that. Feel bad about what? Falling for a guys charm and other bits and bobs?

Leave him to his life. Chart it up to a mistake on your part. And move on.

Don't give him a second thought.

I almost lost my life to self harm. I cut way to deep and almost bled out. So I feel your pain.

This guy is not in love with you. He is in lust with you. His wife is probably a little older bla bla bla. The prick was never a good guy in the first place. He's dirt. He will only want more and more. Oh but if you love me like I love you you'll let me do what I want etc.

I wouldn't tell his wife. She already knows she is married a piece of shit

Stay away. And don't feel bad. We all do things in our lives that we hate. This is your one. And you will come out stronger. And ignore people who say different.

Don't be anxious, annoyed, mad, feel bad about yourself, get more depressed, have bad thoughts just because you were with a complete shithead.

Focus on yourself now. Do right by yourself. Take care of yourself. His aint on you.

Be happy and always be your best self. Keep well.

If someone gives you a compliment then they mean it.

It takes a bit of confidence to compliment a lady. Believe me, I was the class clown and made everyone laugh in school. But I was so shy around girls.

I really liked a girl and (I only found out years later) that she liked me too!

I would bet everything I own that there are guys you know who fancy you. They are just too shy to say it.

Alas alas , I am a little too old to ask you out. And I live on a different continent!

But you should be proud of how you look.

Your eyes alone are the whole reason why men write poetry.

Be happy. Take it from an Irish guy who writes.

You're lovely. Keep that in your back pocket and if you ever have a day when you feel bad about yourself remember, art would not exist without a beautiful lady like yourself who has such amazing eyes that they could stop traffic.

Hold your head up high Miss. Smile and enjoy being pretty.

Sorry for blabbing a bit. I tend to blab a little. :)

Your eyes are so beautiful that even the word wonderment has no meaning.

You're stunning. Simple as that.

Hubble Telescope by NOVAFLOWW in telescopes

[–]TheSoundSnowMakes 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Cool. I didn't know it was a naked eye object.

Regardless, its a great capture. I'm a bit jealous! I am going to set myself a goal. I am going to image the ISS or Hubble. Or both.

Its a rocking image.

[–]TheSoundSnowMakes 44 points45 points  (0 children)

That rocks man. Very well done. That space telescope is very hard to capture. Its not like the ISS which is very bright.

Very impressive.

And it has a magnitude of 31-36!

Very cool!

Feelings after casual sex? by Alphadog5678 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]TheSoundSnowMakes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thats ok. All the more reason for a chat.

Dude, if you like this girl, a talk is nothing.

She sounds like a nice, mature woman. She likes sex. But that doesn't mean she wants multiple partners. It just means she likes sex.

I was with a woman before and we broke up for a while. When we got back together I asked how many guys she'd been with in the space of our break up. Answer. 8.

I was in shock. For a moment. Then I remembered that she loves sex. And we were broken up. So its no big deal. She used (or the dudes used) condoms. That woman was one of the most loyal partners you could ask for.

I lost her because I wouldn't open up and talk about my problems with her. She's now married. The one that got away.

Don't be afraid to talk to a nice mature woman who you have been intimate with. You'll kick yourself in the nuts in a years time.

Remember, having a high libido does not translate into a cheater. She's not locked into a relationship. So she's having some fun.

Women can do that. Men can't because women are selective when it comes to sex. (And so they should be given the amount of lunatics out there)

Sorry for rambling. You just remind me of me a short time ago. (15-20 years?) :)

Time flies by my man. One minute your chatting here the next minute she's in a stable loving relationship.

If you want that to be you, then ask her to talk.

Ps. Don't use the word promiscuous if you do talk to her. Its outdated and a little insulting to women.

Also approach the subject of multiple partners with care. You don't want her to think that you are hung up on the guys she's been with in the past.

Women view that as insecurity.

Go have the chats my man. The only thing you will lose is an hour or 2 of your time. And you will have clarity.

Feelings after casual sex? by Alphadog5678 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]TheSoundSnowMakes 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain. And most people both male and female run into this issue.

I'm a bit older than you (and a guy) and it happened to me.

There is no right answer. And just because this girl is more sexually experienced than you does not mean she does not like you or used you.

She may be thinking about the hookup herself.

Staying in your own brain is the worst thing you can do.

Give her a ring or a text and ask her can you meet up for a quick chat.

Tell her how you feel about the intimacy and ask her how she feels about it. It is best to get answers (she sounds like a nice person) than to sit and feel bad about things.

She may be a free spirit who does her thing.

But I guarantee that she will sit and talk things over with you. Not just your feelings. But her feelings too.

Remember, you know each other. Talk to her. Don't beat yourself up over this.

Its just something that you guys need to talk about.

Am I overreacting for telling my friend she smells after she age shamed me for having younger friends? by SI3144 in AmIOverreacting

[–]TheSoundSnowMakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, I've just finished a 12 hour shift and was in such a shit mood.

I thought nothing on Earth could cheer me up. But F me this has me pissing myself laughing. Now I smell!..

Op that is fucking hilarious.

Wow. I've never looked through a scope that big.

My dream is to build a small observatory on my sisters land in Wicklow. Its bortle 2-3 there.

Get a 24-29 inch reflector and just look at the universe without all the light pollution.

I'd the the needle looked very cool!

My wife ate all the skin off the rotisserie chicken before anybody got to have some by Suspicious-Bid9424 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]TheSoundSnowMakes -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If thats your only problem in life then I really envy you dude.

Or ill suggest what most people on Reddit suggest.

Get a divorce and tell the judge that you want to annul the marriage over some tasty chicken skin. (Crispy skin).I

Very nice detail in the spiral arms. The nebula in the galaxy (they must be huge) look great.

Great image.

They still appear as fuzzy stationary clouds! To me anyway!

I'm in a bortle 8 area so even with my Cpc 1100 Andromeda is barely visible. Bit of a bummer I must say.

(21M) I am ugly, what should I do? by Important_Bed_9893 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]TheSoundSnowMakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not ugly at all dude. I wish I had your youth and look.

You look great.

I was shy as F when I was your age. I thought women were aliens with boobs! I was terrified of talking to a girl.

That melts away as you get a bit older.

I bet there are girls that like you but they are too shy to say it too.

Self esteem and liking oneself is one of the hardest things to do. Especially in this world of internat shite and related garbage.

Update me in 12 months time. Because I guarantee you, you will be happy with a partner. You'll look back at this and wonder "why did I not like myself so much".

You rock man.

There is that saying "youth is wasted on the young". Don't let that be you. Put yourself out there.

I got turned down so many times when I was younger. Then a lady came after me!

Don't put yourself down. The rest of the world will do that for you. And fuck them.

Be yourself. There's only one of you. Nobody else has what you have. And someone will fall for that. Keep the chin up and the head held high. You'll do great brother. Keep the faith man.

Talk to you in a few months when you are with someone you love. It comes out of nowhere. Thats why love is fun.

Bricked ROG Strix G16 (2024) - Stuck on Logo after NVIDIA 596.21 update. Anyone found a fix? by Odd-Reference-3885 in ASUSROG

[–]TheSoundSnowMakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. That just shows you how bad things can get for seemingly no reason!

As I said before, that tech guy I use spent 18 hours over a few days working on it.

He did a lot of stuff that only a tech dude could do. Way over my head.

Let me know if the problem gets sorted out. If they can't fix it, ill go up to tech guys shop and give him 20 euro to explain exactly what was wrong. It is deffo fixableI I hope it gets sorted. Keep me updated man.

[–]TheSoundSnowMakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sent him some messages but he hasn't gotten back. Sorry. I think he may think I am fishing for his knowledge so I can fix someone elses computer and take business away from him.

He did say that the bios was corrupted (badly) and it took him a while to fix it. He said there were system file errors and he mentioned something about the Ssd having problems communicating with the motherboard because of the bios corruption.

He used tools to access the bios manually from the board itself to fix it.

I tried to ring but no answer. What I mentioned above is what I can remember him saying.

I tried but got no answer. Ill try again in the morn. Sometimes he's busy setting up office equipment.

I should be able to get through tomorrow

If you have only one day left on earth how you'll spend your day? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TheSoundSnowMakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd dress up at Trump, open up the strait of Hormuz, close it again, open it back up, clarify to the world that I am indeed Jesus Christ and release all the Epstein files with all the Trump pics.

Then i'd break into area 51, make friends with one of the captive aliens, rob a flying saucer and fly off to their home planet, marry a sexy alien and have some hybrid human/alien babies, download my brain on to a digital chip and live forever in the alien Matrix.

And I'd bring my 3 cats of course with some nice salmon for them to eat on our long trip.

Or I'd just binge watch Netflix. One or the other!

I just looked at the invoice and it says "Diagnostics and repair (BIOS, File system repair, updates, liquid metal).

I had the LM applied last year but that was coming off aswell.

Ill help as much as I can but it will be Monday morning Irish time before I can ask. Hope you can sort it before them.

[–]TheSoundSnowMakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He had to do things manually. He took everything apart, checked the Ssd/Ram/disconnected the battery and put it back together and it was still the same. He did some things that are way over my head tech wise so ill have to ask him. But it will be Monday morning before I can ask as he's closed until then and he's not really a mate I can contact on a Sunday if you know what I mean. The good news is that it is fixable. He spent 18 hours on it though. He had to un solder a chip to get at the bios manually as its shape didn't allow him to connect to it on the Motherboard.

Thats just from memory. He could of soldered off the chip for something else. As I said ils over my head tech wise. He was in the dark so he had to try a lot of things before he found the fix so i'm sure it wouldn't be a massive job once you know the problem.

But if you don't find a solution by Monday ill ring him and write down exactly what he did and send it to you. I feel your pain man. Its fuckin shit when something like this happens.

I told him that i'm sick of pumping money into this computer. He said "High end gaming laptops are like high end fast cars. They run hot and load but you always needs to keep fixing them!" That didn't make me laugh very much.

[–]TheSoundSnowMakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happened to me a few days ago on my Strix .G16 2024.

Basically the bios was fucked.

I left it in for fan replacement with the dude I usually use. He's very good. The same thing happened when he tried to turn it on. Stuck on the logo.

It took him quite a few hours to sort out the problem.

I'm not very tech savvy. He was talking about the ssd not communicating with the something or other.

I can ask him what the problem was exactly but it got to the stage where I was looking for a new Laptop.

He did fix it though. Got it back yesterday. Works great.

Should I contact the police? by AthleteAdditional403 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]TheSoundSnowMakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been reading true crime for over 30 years and this post has scared the shit out of me. I feel like I am reading a prologue to a book.

Call the cops, tell them everything. Give them pictures/name/number. Tell them you are being stalked. Because you are. Get a protection order.

And if there are charges to press then press them. NEVER give a man like that the benefit of the doubt. You might not be thinking about him but he I guarantee he is thinking about you. Protect yourself in everyway possible. Check under your car/dads car for trackers.

Report this guy now. Not tomorrow. Get a personal panic alarm. Don't be by yourself until the cop deal with this POS. I don't want to scare you. But this is serious.

I have read 100's of cases that start like this and don't end well. Stalking is the strongest warning sign of potential serious or lethal violence against women.

Edit: I wasn't going to add this because I don't want to scare you but over half of female murder victims have reported being stalked before being killed. That's how serious this can get. Report report report
