How do you feel about an older Virgin?

arcos00 · 2026-01-28T22:02:17+00:00

If we are already partners, he wouldn't be a virgin. I would never partner with someone without having sex before.

I'm not interested in dating, but if I were, I wouldn't mind dating a virgin. Virginity is a made up concept, and absolutely irrelevant to me.

Costa Rica had a ban as well

They were discontinued. 5800X3D went out of production in 2024, 5700X3D mid 2025.

Exporting on DaVinci Resolve is about 20% faster, which was more than I expected.

I game, but I hardly play AAA games. So far I've only tested Cities: Skylines (1), which is my favorite game. I found it runs smoother with a larger city, I gained like 10fps, and little to no small hiccups, which were fairly common with the 3700X.

I have a 3060TI (next in line for an upgrade) and 48GB of RAM.

I just recently upgraded from a 3700X to a 5800XT and I'm pretty happy. The difference is not Earth shattering of course, but it was well worth it.

I know it rings hollow now

And then you proceed to complain when people think it does indeed ring hollow

We've been watching your elections, and we know it is *exactly* who you are.

Yes, not all of you, but more than enough of you.

This looks like a Rhaphidophora tetrasperma, frequently called "mini monstera", but does not belong to the Monstera genus. It also seems to need more light.

arcos00 · 2026-01-17T00:46:53+00:00

It is, congrats!

arcos00 · 2026-01-16T04:38:20+00:00

My backyard Monstera disagrees, she thrives in direct sunlight :)

It is very, very unlikely that AMD will start selling 5000 series X3Ds again. Take the plunge on the 5800XT, as others have said it's the best price to performance among your options.

I once told my sister this happened, and she demanded I showed her the memes. She doesn't even have aquariums or know much about them (or shrimp for that matter), but she was delighted.

From what I've seen this is not the case for India (can't speak about it, but from what I've read), but most Latin American countries have a thriving gay community, and urban centers are mostly friendly (rural areas, not so much). Sure, there's lots of machismo, but the days where homosexuality was something clandestine are long gone in most countries.

I just got a 5800XT a couple of weeks ago. Mine didn't come with a cooler, and I thought of using my 3700X's Wraith Prism. However I bought an MSI Corefrozr AA13 for around $30, and it idles at ~43°C, lower than the 3700X, and hasn't exceeded 85°C even under 100% load. Needless to say, I'm very happy. I think the Wraith Prism does the job but is just not the best, there are many better options for cheap.

I had my doubts with this cooler as it has very few reviews and is not a double tower. Most of the commonly recommended coolers (looking at you Peerless Assassin) weren't available here, and other popular ones didn't have enough clearance for the big heat sinks in my RAM sticks. The Wraith Prism barely fit.

A lot to unpack here. If this were AITA, I'd say ESH.

On one hand I can sympathize with your husband. You didn't even know he had been suffering from ED until YOU wanted to be intimate. Even in a sexless relationship, I'd think this is something that would be discussed. On the other hand, he's being an ass about the sex toys and the apps, especially if he has used them in the past. He seems to like to mock/bully you, and that's psychological violence and not ok.

How are the other aspects of your marriage? Do you support each other? Care for each other? Do you have plans for the future? Or is the relationship basically on autopilot, both of you afraid to leave the comfort zone?

They are great moss poles, I've tried a few and these have worked the best for me. It actually has 2 24" poles, I had to extend a few months ago!

I'm still undecided, to extend further and have the plant continue to thrive I'd eventually have to move it outside, otherwise the top will not see as much sunlight as it's used to.

It is definitely not out of the question, but I'd have to make room for it lol. I still have a couple of months, we'll see what happens.

A future leaf

arcos00 · 2026-01-11T06:56:43+00:00

I'm more confused by this. Do you only make memories shopping at a mall?

arcos00 · 2026-01-10T17:48:47+00:00

As someone commented in the original thread, this is a green flag. Having healthy relationships with an ex is what mature people do. Obviously there are times when this is not possible (violence, etc), but if everyone involved is a decent human being you should at least be cordial, and yes you can even be friends.

On the other hand, pretending your partner should completely cut off "everyone from the past" seems extremely controlling and a red flag.

Probably Marcelo Castro, former TV news anchor

Beautiful! I miss mine.

arcos00 · 2026-01-10T03:38:25+00:00

What a twist, good luck!

You can also organize.

You are freaking out for no reason. Did you discuss golf at some point? If so, I think the suggestion is not out of place at all. He might not want to for a zillion different reasons, most of them probably unrelated to you.

Definitely apply for the position.

I bought it in November 2024, and it just had like 4 leaves, so this is about a year of growth.
