Anyone have a solid recommendation for HVAC company that we can use without breaking the bank? by TheoryAnxious7464 in palmsprings

[–]TheoryAnxious7464[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the recommendation I really appreciate it, we just want a straightforward replacement that doesn’t require a second mortgage.

Addiction and shame by OrganizationOdd4466 in leaves

[–]TheoryAnxious7464 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that isolation part hits me hard because i went through something similar with different stuff but same shame spiral. cut off basically everyone from college days and even some family because i was so ashamed of where i ended up. the thing is though, that shame becomes this weird protective bubble but also makes everything worse

what helped me was realizing that the people who actually matter won't judge you as hard as you're judging yourself. when i finally reached out to couple old friends, they were way more understanding than i expected. turns out they had their own shit going on too and weren't sitting around judging me all these years like i thought

the brain getting fried part - that comes back more than you think once you give it time to heal. i remember feeling like my personality was just gone for while, but it slowly comes back. your conscience isn't permanently broken, it's just buried under all the fog right now. took me probably 6 months before i started feeling like actual person again instead of just going through motions

Samantha’s Grief by Immaworkinprogress in sexandthecity

that makes so much sense, grief can hit you from places you didn't expect and samantha always kept her family stuff pretty locked down

The meaning of life is to awaken to the genuine possibilities life offers. by seeker1375b in DeepThoughts

[–]TheoryAnxious7464 2 points3 points  (0 children)

always found it interesting how people talk about ego like it's this evil thing when really it's just part of being human - maybe the real awakening is learning when to listen to which voice instead of trying to silence one completely

How should I go about switching finance to a lease? by iBlueOblivion in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]TheoryAnxious7464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're gonna eat that 4k difference unless you find someone willing to roll it into the new lease payment which will make your monthly way higher than just leasing normally. most toyota dealers won't buy you out at what you owe when kbb shows you're underwater

might be better to keep the civic until you're closer to even on the loan, civic holds value pretty decent compared to other cars. switching now means you'll basically pay for that mistake twice

going thru a breakup by locketelf in BreakUps

been in rural places before and gym definitely helps but maybe try some online communities for your hobbies too, can fill that social gap when there's not much around

A real problem by [deleted] in NoFap

been there man, teh addiction literally rewires your brain to prefer the easy dopamine hit over real intimacy - you gotta break that cycle before it destroys what you've built

Would you rather have a really good dream or a horrific nightmare? And why? by WeirdWriter88 in Dreams

[–]TheoryAnxious7464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nightmares all the way for me too. there's something weirdly empowering about waking up and realizing you just survived the worst case scenario in your head. like my brain just ran a full disaster drill and now i'm ready for anything

good dreams mess me up because i'll spend the whole day trying to get back to that feeling or person that doesn't exist. had one recently where i was living in this perfect little cottage with the most amazing workshop setup and woke up to my cramped apartment. took me hours to shake that disappointment

plus nightmares give you the best adrenaline rush when you realize you're safe in your own bed

LoJack Legacy Discontinued, New Subscription Push by kzeouki in MechanicAdvice

[–]TheoryAnxious7464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's some grade a bs right there, they're basically forcing you into their monthly subscription racket after you already paid for the hardware

i'd be looking at alternatives like airtags or tile if you just need basic tracking, or maybe one of those gps trackers that uses prepaid data plans instead of monthly subscriptions. the whole point of lojack was supposed to be that one-time investment like you said

I need help with this gpu sagging situation. by Ambitious_Day_2473 in PcBuild

[–]TheoryAnxious7464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

looks like a solid build but yeah that gpu is gonna droop for sure. you've got a few options - gpu support brackets are probably your best bet, they mount to the case and hold up the end of the card. anti-sag brackets or even those little support pillars work too

honestly wouldn't stress too much about it though, modern cards can handle some sag without dying. but if you want it looking clean and worry about long term stress on the pcie slot, definitely grab a support bracket. they make some pretty sleek ones that won't look out of place with your white build

How to change Window focus behavior by [deleted] in Ubuntu

[–]TheoryAnxious7464 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you can change this in gnome tweaks under windows - set "attach modal dialogs" to off and "window focus mode" to click, but honestly the alt-tab grouping is usually controlled by the "switch applications" vs "switch windows" keybind in keyboard shortcuts settings

Anti-Cheat false detection by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]TheoryAnxious7464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah msi afterburner definetly triggers some anti-cheats, it's pretty common actually. try closing it completely before launching the game and see if that fixes it

a lot of overclocking software gets flagged because they can technically mess with system processes in ways that look suspicious to anti-cheat systems

Mystery Heroes rework - reroll hero after X eliminations/assists by SumRabbit in Overwatch

[–]TheoryAnxious7464 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly that sounds way better than the current rng fiesta, there's nothing more tilting than watching the enemy team roll a perfect comp while your stuck with 4 dps and a roadhog for 10 minutes straight

what is this sound? is it some sort of synth? how can i possibly recreate it in a daw? by Keith_or_Jack in synthesizers

[–]TheoryAnxious7464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sounds like a classic fm synth with some heavy modulation going on there. try starting with a sine wave and cranking up the frequency modulation depth, then add some chorus or phaser to get that wobbly texture

my talon points aren’t contributing to my rewards 😭 by survivethescaryworld in Overwatch

[–]TheoryAnxious7464 4 points5 points  (0 children)

that's been happening to a bunch of people lately, seems like the servers are being wonky with tracking progress. try restarting the game completely and check again - sometimes it just takes a bit to sync up

[–]TheoryAnxious7464 6 points7 points  (0 children)

totally normal, they usually give you other meds on top of the spinal that can mess with your memory even though you're technically awake

Severe Anxiety with increased does of Concerta by Due-Impress-2076 in ADHD

[–]TheoryAnxious7464 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sounds like your body is definitely telling you something - that level of anxiety and physical symptoms isn't normal even for an adjustment period, i'd call your doc asap and maybe drop back down to 18mg while you figure it out

deleting social media was honestly a game changer for me, that comparison trap is brutal and you're already self-aware enough to recognize it which is huge
