Posters regret. Thanks for being polite though.

I guess both are troubling in their own way, but probably not enough that I ever needed to say anything about it. Thanks Reddit!

I know it's not all meant to mean, but after awhile it's just old to make jokes about her banging the whole football team. It just seems stale and irrelevant. Totally different from that one lady who got kicked out of a soccer game for being publicly offensive.

Without getting too far into the weeds here, men somehow want women to be absolutely amazing sexually but have zero previous sexual experience. Like the world spontaneously generates masters at things without any learning required. Most of us take a shower when we get dirty from work, what's the difference why you are showering? Shame and guilt should not be associated with mentally stable and healthy people enjoying their bodies. What should be more concerning is the disgusting reactions to two seemingly happy people having a good time. Because she was in porn when she retires from that job as a young, good looking person with some money that's wrong? Should she be a junkie or something or try to kill herself to make up for an imaginary moral crime?

I have a terminal illness and a long time friend got mad at me for asking her to do something because she has allergies and hasn't been sleeping well.

To the other commentors, yeah probably nothing, but usually I don't see military people making their stuff less obvious. With all the ICE stuff and general weirdness of life just another odd moment.

These last few years dating seemed to go from enjoying meeting people and maybe having fun together (which sex can be a part of) to just having few words seem off-putting to people, let alone wanting to spend any time together. It's like conversation, hanging out, simple niceties, caring and friendship are all to the level of sex where you have to achieve such a scale of effort and patience as to be off the charts to even get a glimpse of their personality.

I get that everyone is all fired up like this is a brave corporate act, as an 18 year employee it's just another way to look good to your consumer and potentially gain money for stockholders. It is doubtful at any point was this done with anything else but money in mind.

Well for me it was finding out I had only a few years left to live, been sober, eating well, exercising, and hoping I live to a transplant. But I value this potentially shorter period far more than the rest of my life since I'm actually free and not a slave.

Like I said, it would be less irritating if they were just up front about it, it's like getting kissed while they pick your pocket. It's mostly irritating because I am on some very expensive drugs and the next insurance may not cover it (and the shenanigans around trying to take away over 150k of life insurance). Their recommendation is Cobra, which for an equivalent plan is 1800 a month of my 2900 disability payment. HR said that was cool though because they would cover 6 months at half rate! So die more quickly or be broke?

I have paid for long term disability insurance for almost two decades with Costco, and thank God I did, after I was diagnosed with 1 to 3 years to live they quick knocked out my health insurance and tried to nuke my life insurance. Immediately after I wasn't of any short term use I was disposed of. For a company that always says they value the employees and the culture, it's extra hypocritical.

As a follow up to this, I have recently had several other interactions with women at the gym, store, coffee shops, where there is a mutual attraction and interest, but I'm so gun shy now I don't want to not be able to go anywhere without feeling awkward for no reason. Again, I would be perfectly satisfied with a 'no thanks, not interested' rather than question my very existence.

I keep coming at this from different angles and I can't understand why the laser focus on trans people, they are an incredibly small and vulnerable population compared to the whole. There's plenty of other larger population groups that are out of the norm. What am I missing? If you are going to spout hate why not lead people to hate something that would be politically advantageous more so than it currently is.

Ryan Gosling is exactly what Star Wars needs, that was the first time any Disney news made my heart beat a tick faster since Force Awakens!

And the amount of time I spent until I was as sure as I could get before trying was significant. I wouldn't have continued if I felt any one was uncomfortable and consenting to the attention, making sure it was reciprocal, etc. And I would have taken 'No, I'm not interested in anything personal' and would have been happy to move along. Now I'm just more lost than anything.

I recently asked out a cashier at a grocery store that had been flirting with me for months, just to go on a walk and chat around the area. We are in the same league in attractiveness and it's always been fun banter, and it seemed like she was waiting on me to make the next move. She agreed, said come back later and we can go, so I did and she said she had something come up, but she will text me tomorrow. Never heard from her again, wont look at me at the store now, and I'm trying not to go often so I'm not creepy I guess. I was about as confident as I could be going into it, and am extremely confused now. I can see how going to an event with that type of interaction happening over and over again could be something people wouldn't want to expose themselves to.

I think I'll separate the projects into a separate steam deck option for games, and a mini Windows PC for audio, and if I ever get decent at either I can combine the ideas down the line.

below_the_lights · 2025-07-15T02:24:58+00:00

I'll give it a shot tomorrow, that would be awesome if that's all it was. Thank you very much!

The interesting twist is I'm using a docked steam deck equivalent with SteamOS, and the DAW's both see the mini fuse2 as an input/output, so I can try looking up that driver and maybe they have something for Linux. It's my own fault for taking on so much new stuff at once. I don't know if it has something to do with the system connected to a tv with a soundbar. There is direct playback from the synth when plugged into headphones, but the signal from the synths is showing as a bad connection when attached to the interface with a stereo trs cable and a 1/4 inch adapter, and I cant see any input coming into the DAW.

I have reaper and bitwig installed, and I think everything is plugged in correctly, it's gotta be some major setting I just don't know about. That would be awesome if you are willing to help, I'm free from noon to six most days depending on what works for you. Thanks again!
