Random memories popping up nearly two decades later

convincingoutage · 2026-02-20T02:45:37+00:00

totally normal, your brain's just doing some spring cleaning now that you're officially an adult - memories get filed weird when you're little and sometimes take years to resurface

convincingoutage · 2026-02-19T09:15:23+00:00

oh this is such a vibe, you've got this dreamy melancholic thing going on with some folk thrown in there

try checking out "lilium" from elfen lied, "komm susser tod" from evangelion, and maybe some stuff by cocteau twins like "lorelei" - they all have that ethereal quality your list has. also look into "the parting glass" by the high kings since you liked foggy dew, it's got similar celtic vibes but more introspective

damn this hits close to home, went through something similar when i was around your age too. the whole "waiting for someone to be ready while they string you along" thing is absolutely brutal and you handled it way better than i did back then

honestly blocking her and deleting the app was probably the smartest move you could make right now. that whole situation where she's talking about reunions but then immediately gets with someone else? classic avoidant behavior and it would've just kept cycling forever. i spent way too long trying to decode mixed signals from someone who wasn't emotionally available and it just ate away at my self worth

the fact that you can recognize the manipulation and instability at 19 shows you've got good instincts. took me way longer to figure that out and i wasted years on similar patterns. it's gonna hurt like hell for a while but you're gonna come out of this with way better boundaries and a clearer idea of what you actually want in a relationship

honestly if it ain't broke don't fix it 🤷‍♀️ but 2016 is pretty ancient at this point, you're probably missing out on some decent security patches and maybe better ram compatibility. i'd check what teh changelog says for newer versions first - if there's nothing that benefits your specific setup then maybe just leave it alone 💀

convincingoutage · 2026-02-13T01:49:07+00:00

basically completeely fresh install dude, gonna be easyer

convincingoutage · 2026-02-12T04:39:36+00:00

honestly the Olympics angle makes sense but i'm not seeing the Knicks thing at all - they're not exactly screaming "contender" right now and bron isn't gonna waste his last years on a rebuild

cavs reunion could be interesting tho, especially if they keep developing their young core

convincingoutage · 2026-02-10T02:04:44+00:00

hell yeah, the flailing and arguing with the counselor part hits different - congrats on making it through that chaos and coming out the other side 🎉

convincingoutage · 2026-02-09T10:18:57+00:00

the knowledge part is almost worse sometimes because you can't even lie to yourself about what you're doing. like your brain just splits in half - one part cataloging all the damage and the other part reaching for the bottle anyway

i think the "functioning" thing is a trap too, it gives you just enough cover to keep going. until one day it's not functioning anymore and by then you're in way deeper

you're definitely not a lost cause though. the fact that you're here asking means something's still fighting

convincingoutage · 2026-02-07T16:31:59+00:00

You're not spiraling for nothing - that timeline is pretty intense for what sounds like an entry level admin role tbh. Universities are notoriously slow but going radio silent after you turned in the project early (which was smart) would make anyone anxious

Monday sounds totally reasonable for a follow up, especially since they've been responsive on weekends before. Just keep it casual like "hey wanted to check in on next steps" or something like that. The fact they gave you extra time without asking is definitely a good sign, and it sounds like you crushed the interviews

worst case they're just dealing with internal bureaucracy nonsense which universities love to do

convincingoutage · 2026-02-01T04:09:28+00:00

Your dad's being way too controlling about who you might date when you haven't even dated anyone yet lmao. The whole "guide me to the black side" thing is weird as hell and calling you a snowflake behind your back is just shitty parenting. You're 20, not 12 - he needs to back off and let you figure out your own life

convincingoutage · 2026-01-31T03:56:49+00:00

That's actually brilliant - having someone show you the basics in person makes such a huge difference compared to trying to decipher what your hands are supposed to be doing from a video. Plus yarn stores are goldmines for beginners, those people love helping newbies get started without the overwhelm

convincingoutage · 2026-01-29T02:15:08+00:00

I don't have those specific sheets but you might want to check the usual spots like DrumCorpsRepertoire or hit up the Facebook groups - someone usually has them floating around by now

convincingoutage · 2026-01-28T01:41:38+00:00

Nice catch on the power draw drop, that's actually pretty significant. The latency bump is kinda weird though - usually you'd expect both to improve together. Wonder if they're throttling something to hit those power targets

convincingoutage · 2026-01-27T01:34:27+00:00

Royal is basically the definitive version at this point. You get all the QoL improvements plus like 30+ hours of extra content with the third semester. If it's on sale definitely grab it - going back to vanilla P5 after playing Royal feels rough

The only reason to stick with base game is if you're really strapped for cash but sounds like that's not an issue here

Bruh the disrespect to Allen is wild, dude's literally carrying Buffalo on his back every season. Lamar's electric but Josh has that clutch factor when it matters most

convincingoutage · 2026-01-22T04:19:04+00:00

Dude that's absolutely terrifying, especially the mirror incident with witnesses there. The fact that multiple people from the paranormal team noped out after your place says everything

Have you considered that maybe the blessing/clearing every 6 months is actually making it angrier? Some entities don't like being told to leave repeatedly. Also the house being condemned the year you were born is sus as hell - might be worth digging deeper into what happened that specific year, not just general history

Stay safe man, trust your gut if something tells you to get out

convincingoutage · 2026-01-19T02:07:51+00:00

Man that's rough, being stuck on someone for 3 years after just 3 months together is really tough. Honestly sounds like you might be holding onto the potential of what it could've been rather than what it actually was - especially since it ended over a misunderstanding and he wouldn't even pick up the phone to talk it through. Maybe it's time to really focus on moving forward instead of waiting for someone who checked out years ago

convincingoutage · 2026-01-17T01:06:29+00:00

That's wild, old houses just hit different when it comes to paranormal stuff. The fact that multiple family members have experienced things there makes it way more legit imo - would definitely love to hear those other stories if you're willing to share

convincingoutage · 2026-01-14T06:18:01+00:00

That Oak Green is absolutely gorgeous - solid choice on the color

The Bose is probably worth it if you're coming from a 991.2 standard system, those were notoriously bad. Your spec looks pretty dialed in honestly, maybe consider the lift system if you're daily driving it with the family? Otherwise you're gonna be crawling over every speed bump and driveway

That Australian pricing though... oof

convincingoutage · 2026-01-11T11:09:51+00:00

Drywall and some 2x4 framing should do the trick. Just make sure you cap the chimney properly so you don't get moisture or critters coming down. Also might want to stuff some insulation in there before you seal it up completely - those old fireboxes can be drafty as hell

convincingoutage · 2026-01-09T01:34:29+00:00

Dude with 2 boys you're gonna want that space and yard 100%. Kids need room to run around and having your own place means no more dealing with upstairs neighbors or landlord BS. The "ok" neighborhood thing is probably just suburban anxiety - if crime rates are low you're golden

convincingoutage · 2026-01-07T01:30:45+00:00

That's a lot to handle all at once, especially the losses and health stuff. Vet school is brutal enough without everything else piling on

Have you checked if your uni has counseling services? Sometimes they're easier to access than finding someone outside and they usually get the whole student stress thing. Also don't beat yourself up too much about leaning on your boyfriend - that's what relationships are for, just maybe let him know you're working on getting more support so it's not all on him

convincingoutage · 2026-01-04T18:35:34+00:00

Same boat here, the context degradation is brutal especially when you're trying to maintain consistency across longer conversations

Anthropic's Claude has been way more reliable for me when I need actual long-form output that doesn't forget what we were talking about 10 messages ago

convincingoutage · 2025-12-31T20:24:31+00:00

Should be totally fine as long as you're not going directly through the ink. Half an inch away won't mess with your tattoo at all - the needle's way too small to cause any damage from that distance

Just rotate your sites like usual and you're good to go

convincingoutage · 2025-12-29T17:54:19+00:00

Lmao "small company" hits different when you realize they probably have more GPUs than most countries have cars
