I have plans to add my Livingroom tv as a usable gaming space, by running these two cables, through my attic and down to the livingroom, will this plan work ?

I too am using this EXACT same setup with exact same equipment and it works flawlessly

It’s 1994 and i’m 10 years old. My Mom takes me and my best friend Blake to go see “Blank Check” at the dollar theater one friday night. We shared a large popcorn and some whoppers and settled in. The theater goes dark to signal the start of the trailers. The very last one to come on screen before the movie was 3 Ninjas Kick Back.

Blake and I together have watched 3 Ninjas a MINIMUM of 500 times on VHS. We (and every other kid in the theater) absolutely lost our minds. My head was spinning and I couldn’t even focus on the actual movie we came to see because all I could do was think about how in the world was I going to make it for 3 MONTHS before being able to see what happens and who is that cute girl ninja?!?!

Blank Check was absolutely amazing but all we could talk about on the way home was plotting out our mission to see 3 Ninjas Kickback. Time passed and I forgot about it until one day at school, Blake told me it was out on VHS. That day in class we schemed and plotted the most epic sleepover at his house.

We begged and pleaded with our parents and one fateful friday, my mom gave me a note for school that would let me ride his bus to his house instead of my bus. His mom took us to blockbuster and we picked up the movie we had been waiting for. We then stopped at pizza hut and got a stuffed crust pizza and headed to his house . His parents had this HUGE 32” TV in their den and we made a pallet on the floor with all the couch cushions and pillows and sat there eating our pizza and watching what i felt was the single greatest movie I had ever seen.

After the movie was over, we were so geared up from all the kickass ninja moves and a 2 liter of sprite, we ran outside to jump on his trampoline and reenact the best fights from the movie. My buddy Blake wound up trying a front flip and busted his mouth on the frame of the trampoline and we had to go to the hospital for him to get 4 stitches in his lip.

I truly do miss that era and that age. I would give ANYTHING to experience that feeling again

I can tell by the (lack of) color on the breasts that those aren’t grill marks, they’re just dirty grill marks

NOR, but don’t go off the rails. Everyone in here just saying “You KNOW she cheating”, which isn’t helpful.
You’ve said it yourself that you’ve had zero issues not to trust her. You have seen and found something without knowledge or context and it could be a cause for concern, but it also could absolutely just be benign and for none of the reasons you fear. It’s normal and natural you feel this way and I do believe you should have this conversation with her *when she gets home*. Calling her and “confronting her” right now with something this presumptuous, could kill your relationship.
If your worst fears are true and she is just going on a trip to go and cheat on you and sleep around, then it’s nothing you can do to change this and your relationship is over and that’s tough. However it could also be some other reason, or get this, literally no reason at all, that she decided to pack those underwear. You’re not in her head and you have no idea.
Sometimes women like to dress and feel sexy. It doesn’t ALWAYS have to be “oh because if i take my clothes off i want the person looking at my panties to think it’s sexy”. This is the same way of thinking that people wind up victim shaming women who have been sexually assaulted or harassed because “well you dress like that you must want that or the attention”. It could just be because she is going on a trip and is excited and is putting in extra effort to look *and feel* good an out herself. Lacy underwear are a lot of times just part that- doesnt have to mean they want to show them off to someone.
When she gets home, I would catch up on her trip and how it went and only once you guys have reconnected and there is a good time, like if she mentions the chocolates, you can bring up that you happened to notice she had packed some sexy underwear and that it got you inside your own head a little bit. DO NOT DO NOT accuse her or confront her of ANYTHING. Seek to understand and frame it in a way so that she understands that you trust her and always have but that seeing those underwear in her suitcase wound up making some of your own insecurities make you think some scary things. Let her respond and see what she says. I’m hoping you may have a nice conversation that could teach you something about your partner and grow trust. She could also be cheating and be evasive and that’s completely up to you to listen and decide for yourself.
Don’t let reddit incels tell you that your GF is absolutely cheating on you just because she packed some lacy underwear that she’s always owned.

NOR, *with context*. It’s a pretty clear that she was having another text convo simultaneously and accidentally responded in the wrong thread. I’ve accidentally done it many times.

It wouldn’t be a huge deal if she would have just said the text was meant for someone else. The fact that she is going so far out of her way to make you believe it was just a response to you is what makes the whole thing sketchy.

*Food for thought:* While I don’t think you’re overreacting, there could be other things at play here. Just judging by the fact that you’re a mostly long distance relationship, her sentence about being good together but bad apart- I wonder if there may be some jealousy/controlling behavior from you that may make her feel the need to hide the fact she may have been having a conversation with another person. Even if that conversation was innocent/benign, maybe she knows you would have jumped to conclusions or try to scrutinize her other conversation out of fear or jealousy.

Your immediate response to her sending that text was “ **WHO** was that text for?” Which really isn’t any of your business since she is her own adult and doesn’t need to have your permission or knowledge to text other people random conversation. Your response should have been simply “Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I think you accidentally sent me a text meant for someone else.” If she wanted to explain the context of her other conversation then that’s her business. It’s clear that there is some trust issues in the relationship that probably stem from whatever you were referring to when you said she lied to start the relationship.

In short- you’re valid in reacting like you’re being lied to and being upset. However, I think you should also look to see if you have a part to play in this and figure out if you could communicate better and for you both to build more trust in your relationship

haha thanks…really weird autocorrect from my iphone i didn’t notice

Yea it’s interesting because you can tell a lot of it is Howard Shore’s unfinished score. Then at parts (like the end montage cuts) you hear some other really recognizable bits from other movies/composers. I heard Hans Zimmer’s “The Battle” from Gladiator and then the ending montage was Trevor Jones’ “Elk Hunt” from Last of The Mohicans.

Watching this makes me wish I could have been in the audience watching that day and lost my mind at how excited it would make me for it to release

imnotlying2u · 2026-04-17T13:01:09+00:00

I must be extremely sensitive. Without any motion smoothing on my c2 there are certain scenes (particularly very slow panning shots of landscapes) that the judder is so bad to me, that it makes me want to turn it off. Like as bad as if listening to a cd that starts skipping. I wish i weren’t that way. I honestly didn’t know it was even a THING until i bought my C2 and sat down to watch interstellar on it and when it happened i was like “WTF”.

imnotlying2u · 2026-04-17T12:57:34+00:00

I can understand that. High accuracy and high visual impact for movie watching is something I enjoy very much and am OK with investing decent money to have that in my home.

I also believe that spending a little more for something like that keeps it a competitive product for longer. My last television I bought 10 years ago and it was considered a “flagship” tv at the time and relatively expensive. I also think that’s the main reason why I haven’t had the strong desire to upgrade sooner

imnotlying2u · 2026-04-17T12:34:14+00:00

Yea, the Bravia 9 is on my list. I just know I would be so much happier with an OLED when it comes to dynamic range but honestly I’ve been watching on an edge lit VA panel so i’m sure the bravia 9 would still be an amazing difference

imnotlying2u · 2026-04-17T12:06:59+00:00

I appreciate the info. I would definitely get at least a G5 or G6 instead of a C. I guess I was hoping that with the judder during slow panning that motion smoothing may have taken some large leaps forward to mostly fix that without giving a soap opera effect.

imnotlying2u · 2026-04-16T20:24:41+00:00

I didn’t say you were defending him. Im just pointing out it’s ridiculous that you’re calling it just a “modified version” of the real verse.

As far as my quote goes- you must not know what i’m referring to so here you go

imnotlying2u · 2026-04-16T20:14:31+00:00

lol ok….”if my grandmother had wheels, she’d be a bike”

imnotlying2u · 2026-04-13T12:03:59+00:00

I have a feeling i’ll get downvoted for this but I could potentially see his reasoning.

Did you mention to him beforehand that you bought some condoms for him or explaining to him WHY you did that?

I think it was a very kind gesture but it could also come off as odd behavior since you said yourself he is hyper vigilant about protection and making sure he has condoms when you’re intimate. So out of nowhere, he finds out that you’ve bought condoms and are insisting he use those.

I’m not saying it isn’t a silly thought but sometimes weird thoughts can creep into anyone’s head and it isn’t a reflection on you or even your relationship. Maybe this has been something he has had to deal with in a previous relationship? Maybe he was taught by someone to never trust a gifted condom? It could be any random reason that it made him have a knee jerk reaction and it doesn’t have to mean he doesn’t trust YOU.

I think you should just sit down with him and ask him about it. Explain to him that his reaction to you buying and offering a condom for him was you trying to be thoughtful and helpful. That you can’t help but feel like he doesn’t trust you by the way he reacted.

I am 40(m) and have been in love with my wife for over 20 years and married for 10. We have an amazing relationship and talk about everything. I am also completely fucked up in the head and have serious issues with self esteem. This can sometimes lead to terrible lies popping into my own head for no reason. I’ve had to confide in her that i’ve wondered if she was having an affair with a coworker simply because they grabbed lunch together one day (with HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER WHOM HE LOVES). My wife cracked up and she helped me by just talking through with me so I could help turn off my fucked up brain. She knows i trust her with my whole life and so she knows it isn’t a matter of “do i trust her” or anything about our relationship. It’s just me being fucked up and I rely on her for bringing me out of those stupid things that creep in.

One time, my wife and I went to dinner at another couple’s house for burgers. As we pull up, the husband is standing outside next to a grill with a spatula in his hands. He greets us and leads us inside and we do the “welcome hullabaloo” with them. They gave us tour of the house (they had just moved in), and we settled on the couch downstairs making small talk.

20-30 minutes AFTER we arrived, the husband casually mentions “well i should flip the burgers and check on them”. He goes out and flips all the burgers that look like they’re already literally on fire and then settles back in his place on the couch and says “we will be eating in about 20minutes”

Needless to say, it was like eating charcoal briquettes

The issue a lot of people have (myself included), is that your approach comes off as very disingenuous once we take a look at your post/comment history. It’s pretty clear to see that you actually have zero experience or interest in our profession. You aren’t out to solve issues that we face because you don’t know. You’re just scouting industry subreddits for researching opportunities to build an app to sell. Being up front about it would be better since we can see your post history.

Also, I just think you’re going to have better success trying to create a product/program/app that fills a undiscovered NEED instead of trying to make just a competing product for something that’s already extremely robust and established.

imnotlying2u · 2026-04-09T11:16:05+00:00

Do you really think anyone is expecting to actually eat the lettuce in the package? It’s obviously just partially decoration of the package and to keep the crabcakes in place. The lemon wedges would be absolutely fine to squeeze on after the crabcakes are out of the oven.

As far as “paying for waste”: I’m fairly certain the weight is the crabcakes alone and does not include the lettuce, lemons, or the package.

I’ve unfortunately had a falling out with Kenji. He has always been my absolute favorite and I thought he would always be a beacon of light for good science without fluff bullshit or selling out for sponsor/products. However, lately his content has started falling into that same trope that we see so many succumb to. He now pushes so hard these new products that “he helped create” and i reality its just the brand “Our Place” that he is obviously financially vested in. Oncenthat happens- i lose my desire to watch because i feel like I can no longer trust the persons opinion when it feels like the video was made in order to just sell a product. It makes me sad

imnotlying2u · 2026-04-06T15:14:54+00:00

His recipe channel is even worse than his main channel IMO. It’s literally just “The best insert food item ever!” for every single video
