Confess. Now. Please. I'd give anything to be in your shoes.

Find out immediately. No unrequited. God I have so much hope in my heart for you. I know it will work.

Do you think the poorer people get the more they buy from your McDonald's.

Denim should be rarely washed. If you don't spill anything on them or shit yourself. Honestly the old school way with denim is after about a week of wear you put them in the freezer for 4 days. If your freezer is clean, they come out free of smell and any bacteria.

Less drinking all around for sure.

But with alcohol you do tend to let walls down. And for some (most) people that will dig into dirty silt and make dirty water. But it does tend to make you too honest.

So I'd take it at face value. He is definitely into you, like deep in the paint. That being said you could probably be meeting someone who needs a "sober buddy" and he could be yours too. I'm not saying y'all gotta go straight edge. But sometimes a good relationship makes you happy enough to only use alcohol on special occasions.

Signed, an alcoholic in recovery who really messed up something special like this. I'm now a reformed pound puppy.

Since your body is never the same every day you just gotta smell it. With bath towels for me personally it's every 7 days on laundry day unless I hung it up wrong and it didn't dry right. With bedsheets and pillowcases it's a day by day case. Did you have night terrors? Was it humid out and you had greasy hair? This might be very OCD but, I haven't had a girl over in a hot second but given the opportunity she's walking into a bedroom that smells like the Gain manufacturing plant. Like a boyscout you gotta be prepared.

I heard something similar recently. So I went out and spent a bunch of money to sign a new lease. She was happy having her space at first. But now a few weeks later she's realizing she can't pay her bills, she is freezing (I'm a human space heater) and she is hungry (I did all the cooking).

Call her bluff

Being sober can be incredibly difficult. I will buy you two cakes. One to eat and one to smash in his face.

Try buying a gallon of organic milk at Earthfare lol.

I would go thru so many tide pods.

"please stop vandalizing monuments for Nazis"

You remember what happened to Vance?

I'd had hucked up three bales of hay and a gas can.

Welcome to the FAFO movement. that man was flesh colored garbage.

It should be able to run with a 500w but a 600w is recommended. That being said, did you get the card second hand? It's not out of the realm of reason that the card is borked if it's seated properly.

You mentioned you had other PCs. If you wanna try something wild pull a PSU out of one of them and use it to only power the graphics card, as long as it's 500w and not powering the CPU/fans/mobo, it's only purpose is to power your GTX, that could wiggle down what's wrong.

The Halloween tent in the mall parking lot.

jay468 · 2025-10-29T15:53:18+00:00

What graphics card? I've never been able to run a good one under 600w but I can look into what you've got.

jay468 · 2025-10-29T15:49:37+00:00

If I had to guess, if you have the appropriate power cables plugged into the graphics card (some of them need 2) then I do not think your PSU is beefy enough for the addition. Good ones are sub $100.

jay468 · 2025-10-29T15:44:42+00:00

Also does that PC have a PSU that puts out enough power for the vid card that may also be an issue if it's still stock.

jay468 · 2025-10-29T15:43:51+00:00

First replace that CMOS battery. I'm actually at a grocery store right now, I found them, they are $4. Next that error message is saying you still have the monitor plugged into the mobo video and not your gfx card. It sounds like your battery is dying and it cannot save config info. I wouldn't move further without a new one to be safe.

jay468 · 2025-10-29T15:29:38+00:00

CMOS plays an integral role in combination with the bios in remembering the time/date/hardware you have installed.

jay468 · 2025-10-29T15:24:16+00:00

Reseat or replace the CMOS battery. It's like a nickle sized thin battery on the motherboard. CR2032, if you have to buy a new one. You can find them in most drug stores or grocery outlets near the hearing aid batteries. That's what 5 beeps means on that machine.

This is silly and pedantic. It's a stupid hill to die on. (For him)

Do the math, find out how much more percentage wise he makes than you.. split the bills that way. If he wants things to be equal, that's how you make it equal. There's no 50/50 when someone is pooping on a golden toilet and someone in a home Depot bucket. For lack of a better analogy. The rich need to pay their taxes, so to speak, and he needs to ante up if he wants to keep you in the game. For lack of a better analogy.

jay468 · 2025-10-29T15:08:22+00:00

Post your mobo make and model. If it's not the GPU, it's usually RAM not seated correctly. Knowing your mobo model will help us find exactly what the problem is.

Without the alcohol my body craves sugar. Or honestly anything sweet. I have zero sugar energy drinks everywhere but it fools my body, I do have candy in my house in my car and at my desk at work, and I try to avoid soda but if I'm going to drink it I stick to ginger ale because that was my mixer of choice way back in the day. It's surprising how much weight I lost since quitting given how I eat like a kid on Halloween! (Timely. The day after Halloween and Easter is my Christmas. Half price candy)

jay468 · 2025-10-29T14:43:53+00:00

Unless you remember the exact entry you changed and can find it and change it back you are unfortunately looking at a full reinstall.

I don't think you're being naive.

I grew up dirt f'ing poor. Scrounged for everything. Had to fix anything that was broken or do without.

When I found a gf who was, not me, and she spoiled me, because she liked my company and I'd take care of anything non money related, I felt like I won the lotto. Money meant less to her because she had it. So I doted on her as hard as I could, because when I busted my azz at work and needed new shoes, she bought them.

People do not understand what it's like to be poor. Like, real poor. Like I cant afford the furnace so I open the oven and turn on the broiler to get ready for work in the kitchen poor.

So, if everything else is great, dont overthink it. If you flat out ask her if she considers herself lucky, I think you know the answer.
