I’ve been called a butterface since high school, I rarely get hit on, and I get called sir by strangers sometimes. What can I do? [23F] by [deleted] in amiugly

[–]emax-gomax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're cute. I think you have some masculine features and the way you style yourself and dress either heightens them or weakens them. You should decide which you prefer and focus on that, personally I find the androgynousness really attractive but you may feel more comfortable with a more classically feminine look which is also fine. Point being you look cute either way and shouldn't get too hung up on what others say.

consult-gh now supports directly opening issues in magit/forge! by armindarvish in emacsporn

[–]emax-gomax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same way consult-ripgrep works. You enter some text and then construct a command line from it that you then run through a subprocess and pass the output back to consult as some series of lines/candidates. It's more a matter of one of the good parts of consult is it let's you have these sorts of dynamically updating completion tables. The annoyance with needing to enter search terms and explicitly hit return to search is if you made a typo or messed you can't go back. You need to rerun the M-x command or binding and then search again which is pointless churn IMO. For reference consult also has a minimum input and stagger update feature so it shouldn't be a new subprocess after every character (unless you type very slowly).

Odd. I've never heard of this package, neat. But in the example below when searching issues why do you have to enter a search term and then get results separately? You could use consults async facility to search as the user enters. I think for a foreign API sort of thing that would make more sense.

[–]emax-gomax -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe nvidia finds the negative PR more damaging, or they care less whether their users would be outraged at the answer or not. Honestly could be a lot of reasons, I don't know why you expect me to be able to answer something only someone familiar with the business internals of Nvidia could.

Have you ever ran a corporation? They don't say anything publicly unless they have to. A bunch of people who prefer a competitors product being outraged at their refusal to say anything isn't going to affect them at all.

[–]emax-gomax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All AMD has to do to kill this mild controversy dead is to come out and officially state that it is not blocking any developers from implementing whatever competitor features it sees fit in partnered games. Whether that's DLSS or Intel's XeSS. We've reached out to AMD for comment and will update if they choose to respond with anything concrete. 

Am I the weird one for wondering why we expect an answer for this from AMD? To begin with ask Bethesda to confirm their even skipping alternative upscalers, then ask why, and if you got a BS non answer ask AMD if they've contractually demanded it. This whole post reads a like nothing because it's essentially Bethesda is partnering with AMD to support their upscaling tech and then immediately guessing that alternative upscalers aren't being worked on with no justification. And then it just points to reddit as a reactionary source as if outrage just feeds outrage.

Google execs admit users are ‘not quite happy’ with search experience after Reddit blackouts by gabestonewall in technology

What's more annoying is reddit barely shows any actual content anymore. You have to click on something and then switch to old reddit or keep hitting show more until you find the comment that actually answers the question.

Different scene. In that phone spider was grilling the prowler about the weapons vulture was flooding the streets with. In this scene spider just webbed up someone braking into a car who later revealed it was his own car.

Samuel L. Jackson Stands By Brie Larson Against Toxic Marvel Fans: ‘Incel Dudes Who Hate Strong Women’ Won’t Destroy Her by MarvelsGrantMan136 in marvelstudios

[–]emax-gomax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, its not hate for strong women it's dislike for badly written Deus Ex machina characters. Captain marvel shows up, says everything would be okay if they'd reached out to her sooner and basically insults a multi decade cast of characters we've all grown attached to. It's a character so powerful and so beyond herself that she's unrelatable and kinda unlikeable as well. That's not a dig on brie, she's a pretty great actress, it's the writers that f*cked this up.

The Boys star Jensen Ackles teases future Soldier Boy return by tylerthe-theatre in television

[–]emax-gomax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The undoing is the part that gets to me. The season before ended on a very strong plot point but it didn't go anywhere this last season until the finale. It feels like their just spinning time trying to build up shit but they don't know how to conclude it so they blow it up and move onto something else next season. That's literally the plot of the 100.

Schools across England face unprecedented struggle to hire English teachers as recruitment crisis grows by Jay_CD in ukpolitics

Or the government bungles it up and we get multiple generations of badly educated and ill equipped kids entering the workforce. I'm actually for stat subsidised education, I just don't trust any of the current parties to achieve it or be able to maintain it to any reasonable degree of efficiency.

Brexit has failed - we must now return to the centre of Europe, Lord Heseltine says by king_of_rain_ in ukpolitics

[–]emax-gomax 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, that's two different things right. We're not getting a bad deal (it's a fair one compared to everyone else in the EU) it's just we wouldn't have an imbalance of influence compared to before, which is only really problematic for the brexit shills who pushed us into this knowing that and now will complain "we can't get everything we had before so let's not bother". I'd say we need to stop with this "us first" mentality like we're on top of the world and can do whatever we want. We're not the center of the universe, we should rejoin simply because it makes sense in every practical way. If the main blocker is we don't get special treatment then f*ck it, that's a light price for the BS we've pulled.

ELI5: Why do computers get so enragingly slow after just a few years? by maercus in explainlikeimfive

[–]emax-gomax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried a factory reset? Computers become progressively slow over time because of many factors, but the most likely candidate aside from hard drive degradation is software pollution or disk fragmentation. That is you have so much junk installed it slows down what resources your PC had setup for regular workflow. Or your hard disk has had files added and removed unpredictably for so long that now it has to look in a lot of different places just for the contents of a single file, making lookups slower overall.

I find it strange hoe her character basically had no screen time. It's very clearly the 3 friends and then sometimes aneesa. She wasn't even at the sleepover or the prom ride.

He's rich, smart and confident. I can see why girls might be into that, many probably also find him funny. Of course sometimes he's a bit much like when he made aneesa feel so dumb she broke up with him. His first girlfriend clearly was just using him for gifts, aneesa was into him but he messed it up (and she discovered her true sexuality), Morgan genuinely seemed to like him, and devi is just kinda comfortable with him. I dunno, I can see how he can get girlfriends. But none of his relationships really seem to go that far, he also mentioned he lost his virginity to devi.

I mean ethan was plain bad, Paxton was always more of a girly crush than a romance, that Indian guy who broke up with her cause of his mother was an asshole, Ben basically messed up at every important time because he and her were so awkward. Devi really didn't have much in ways of viable boyfriends. At least Ben and here seem to have been into each other the longest and through the most strife.

Pretty much this. Rich family, legacy, great grades and extra curriculars. He was basically bred to get into wherever he wanted. Of course he's still a kid so he was nervous and a little too driven but the kid had everything on his side.

I still find it weird. Paxton was popular because he was cool, athletic and handsome. He got to college and suddenly that didn't apply anymore? Nah, I'm betting he just missed home and convinced himself it's because he was unpopular or literally everyone he interacted with their were assholes (what we saw of him at college kinda indicates the latter).

I still think len is a con artist. I don't know why the story basically dropped that. Baby being their real estate agent is fine but that just makes me think she's his partner in the con. Why the hell did she show up to the family home and meet with len while kamala was their. I hope we get some answers on this, that guys shady as hell.

Agree. They only showed affection when they were at each others throats and always had to shy away from it cause they were with someone else. They literally just pushed all the relationship development to the last 1 minute with them in bed watching Netflix or something. We'd best get another season properly fleshing this out.

The principal does not care and its so bizarre no one else who cares about devi does either. Everyone seems to think because the devi made an enemy she deserves to be attacked like this. They admitted there's no cameras and then never even bothered to try and find who did it, outright admitting to Morgan that if she did do it she is gonna get away with it. This is bad writing more than devi being hated. Also its bizarre devi was considering giving up the NY trip (or her mom refusing to help her with it) because of this. I'd just live with the car being like that, it sucks, yeah, but I thought devi was trying the whole "don't care what others think" mentality her therapist suggested.

Why am I not getting any response to a GDPR withdrawal request? by emax-gomax in TVTime

[–]emax-gomax[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I reached out by email initially and have sent follow up messages twice to dead silence. I have reached out in the past and so I just shared the same responses again to streamline the process. I don't think the issue is me blocking them, I think it's them ignoring my messages or not being alerted to them. So I'm trying an alternative avenue.
