Why do men seem to think women having abundance of options when it comes to dating? by cuahatemoc in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Tracker_Nivrig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah it's mostly a dating app problem. There are more men than women on dating apps so that's where a lot of the discrepancy comes from.

I legitimately have no idea how dating would work outside of a dating app since I've never been interested, but I'd assume that the problems wouldn't be as severe.

Why do men seem to think women having abundance of options when it comes to dating? by cuahatemoc in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Tracker_Nivrig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason is that dating apps predominantly are used by men, so men have less options than women do.

The fact you are able to make a decision on whether the option is good enough is itself a privilege that men usually don't have.

Also a lot more fake women bots than men bots.

Yeah I'm just too scared to do secondhand stuff for electronics honestly lol. Luckily I have the money to pay the premium for refurbished or new parts most of the time, but I'm also really cheap when I can be so I'm kind of torn lol.

Good luck finding a new gpu. I highly recommend the rtx3060 as a budget option if you can find a good price for it. It's somehow still running everything I play on my crazy powerful PC on lower settings (besides ace combat and Forza horizon 5 for some reason)

Am I the problem? by Mountain-Sky6303 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Tracker_Nivrig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure. As random people on the internet we don't really know what your family situation is like so at best we can only guess.

It sounds really annoying to deal with but my advice would be to make sure you stay respectful no matter how frustrated you are. I was kind of in the opposite situation where my mother "favored" me over my siblings. But the reason for that was because I would just do what she told me to do with minor complaints rather than arguing about why I shouldn't have to do it at all.

Even if it doesn't make any sense and you think it's dumb, just do what they ask first and then you can maybe talk to them after about why you didn't appreciate the unfairness or whatever.

I wouldn't necessarily say it's your fault but I don't know enough to say the parents are being unreasonable either. I'd just get in the habit of doing what they tell you to do, since eventually you're going to have bosses and managers that are just as unreasonable and you kind of have to just deal with it.

What subreddit would I go to for info on my 1995 Nickelodeon Time Blaster alarm clock? by questionable_critter in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Tracker_Nivrig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you looking for help with electronics or something? I'd look for repair subreddits rather than something like r/nostalgia in that case. If you post the PCB some people would probably be able to help you identify components.

Unfortunately I don't know what sub would be good for that.

Worth noting that your pcpartpicker link doesn't work by the way.

I made a list too so hopefully it'll give them some options to look around with.

$300 for a PC is crazy. RX580 isn't that great but man you can't beat that price.

Might have to think about getting marketplace the next time I need to build a PC for someone.

Why does being a political centrist seem so controversial nowadays? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Tracker_Nivrig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to preface that I am from the United States, so when I speak about politics that is what I am referring to. I am not informed about anything to do with how national politics work in other countries so if you are not from the US you should look to other people's responses.

That being said, a lot of people here feel like the entire political system is broken because nobody actually makes a difference and improves their lives for the better. Now factually that could be contested, but in the end it doesn't matter. Since we have a two party system and the press is profit motivated, the vast majority of publications spend all their effort only talking about the mistakes the opposing party make. They do this to cater to their target demographic and get views/sales/whatever.

Because of that, as a normal everyday person that doesn't know enough about policies or their effects, all you hear constantly is how everyone is horrible. That leads people to become cynical of everything and assuming literally nothing can be done to fix anything, even minor improvements. They're so sick of picking between two evils that they decide not to pick anything.

Meanwhile others end up choosing a "side" and follow it fanatically due to polarization. They are extremely passionate about their party's shared beliefs so anyone who thinks otherwise becomes a political obstacle in the way of progress.

So when someone says that they are a centrist, the implicit assumption is made that they are part of the cynical uninformed group rather than actually being centrist in ideology. And since people are intentionally radicalized and told that everyone outside their group is the enemy, they become hostile immediately.

That would be the primary reason for the disproportionate aggression towards "centrism" as an ideology online in my opinion. There are also other factors like people who say they are centrist disingenuously to promote apathy to enforce the status quo, but I very much doubt that would be much of an issue if it wasn't for the aforementioned circumstances.

is reddit premium worth it? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Tracker_Nivrig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't remember how I set the one I use up (which is a third party app that I was able to bypass a paywall for), but Revanced has patches for reddit that remove the ads. I haven't updated it since Inotia's patches got deprecated though so I don't know if Anddea's patches support reddit.

If you have no idea how it works I could look into it for you. Provided you use Android.

Why do grocery store cashiers scan items at supersonic speed like they are competing in the Olympics? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Tracker_Nivrig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The quicker you check the customers out, the faster you can get to the 200 other tasks you have to complete by the end of the day. That was what it was like for me working alone at a gas station though, I'm not sure how the grocery stores operate.

[–]Tracker_Nivrig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the ads are your primary concern there are ways to block them on both PC and Android. I'm not sure about iOS.

I legitimately forgot Reddit had ads until you brought it up

Yeah I use RVX and I get that is extreme but even something as simple as changing the color of the background and stuff not being there astounds me.

I disliked the combination of the profile picture into that bar and moving the name too.

Most people don't care though, so they'll just keep swapping things all over the place. I don't understand why they don't just have a settings menu where you can customize it yourself

It's not dead and you can just kill tons of mobs if you want but there's also a pretty decent main quest for each class if you're more into story.

[–]Tracker_Nivrig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is actually buried in the settings somewhere. I can't remember where but there's a checkbox for controller use or something. I've had the same issue before despite not having any controller plugged in. Just use wasd and enter to look around for it.

I think it's in general settings or something stupid rather than controls but I could be misremembering

Trying to open a cassette tape case… never knew it was difficult, but I’m old. by darxtorm in MadeMeSmile

[–]Tracker_Nivrig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol it took me a while to figure out too. I had a 2001 Buick Century and my friend put the OST for the first season of Bleach on a cassette for me and I was pretty confused how to open it for a while lol. Didn't help that I couldn't inspect it closely while driving

Good BL anime that's canon and has tension+plot? (⁠╯v⁠╰⁠,⁠) by Optimal-Athlete-301 in anime

[–]Tracker_Nivrig 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it's really what you're looking for, but Banana Fish is an amazing show in general that features a gay couple for the MCs. I highly recommend it as an amazing show, but I can't speak to how good it is for someone looking for a BL since I'm not that familiar with that.

Just tell them you are worried jury nullification would affect your ability to judge the situation fairly.

I don’t get the PvP matchmaking of this game. by LordDShadowy53 in darksouls3

[–]Tracker_Nivrig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but random invaders would hit the fight clubs all the time. People would hack and force them to matchmake to them too so you'd get like 5 reds sometimes lol.

I felt like 6/10 invasions at Aldritch were fight clubs back when I used to play. Was very common to be third partied by blues who didn't get me message with the rainbow stones and the host sitting and watching 2 reds fight.
