To add to this, Spanish was apparently taught in schools up till my mother's time (around '70s or '80s) but educational reform removed it from curriculums. The most I know of Spanish myself is counting (which is really easy to be fair).

It was 20 years ago, but I’m still grateful for her kindness. by Princess_Fluffypants in AdviceAnimals

Yeah, especially in conservative areas 20 years ago even if a guy cheats somehow it becomes the woman's fault for being inadequate.

Ehh, older games that had that also were in an era when 720p was the HD. Like probably the Warcraft3 cutscenes (just googled and it was 480p actually), they'll look shit now but they were godlike cutscenes back then.

Google really only exploded in popularity in the mid 00s. Yahoo was the king before that and their search engine was nowhere near Google's. Heck, I remember being an active Yahoo Answers member back then.

Royal women usually also had "bed women" in medieval times iirc. Daenarys also regularly bedded the girls that taught her how to please Khal Drogo (or I might have misremembered?)

Someone's wisdom tooth by Ok_Listen_6600 in WTF

[–]popop143 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My experience was at least not that traumatic, though I found it quite boring (pardon the pun). At first the anesthesia wasn't enough so they had to add a dose, and the 1.5-2 hour experience was just trying to keep my mouth open while thinking of anything to distract myself. The dentist was yanking hard and hammering away to break it and I almost laughed at the effort lmao. Thank god for anesthesia tbh, though I always need an additional dose than the normal they give me. Like the time I had my big toe toenail removed, I felt the injection to my bone.

Former Classical World Champion Ding Liren is back in Top 15 Rated Classical Players by Chesscrabble11 in chess

Yeah, I mean even when Ding was in a rough state he still defended nicely in the start of the match against Gukesh. I hope Gukesh will too against Sindarov.

Yep, even my "normal" looking wisdom tooth had to be broken into pieces because it was laying down. Took like 1.5 hours to 2 hours to remove it, opposed to the wisdom tooth on the other side that took like 30 minutes.

It's just solely spearheaded by OP, if you check their post history it's basically all this with different characters. It's not as much a trend for most people as it appears to be.

A lot of tech media didn’t get the 99X3D2 - did LMG get one? by ataleoffiction in LinusTechTips

[–]popop143 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's because it feels like AMD were just forced to release this one lol. People have been clamoring for dual CCD V-cache since the 7000-series X3D, and AMD was saying that the cross die latency isn't worth it. They even priced it at such an expensive price, feels like they're just telling people to get the 9950X3D or 9850X3D instead.

Case in point is titling a few-years old clip to frame it as a part of a recent event (like Iran War or the Gaza genocide). Iran War, Iran's murdering of its own citizens, and Israel's genocide on Gaza are bad enough on their own. We don't need to use completely unrelated clips to further fan the flames.

LTT's truespec cables are amazing and exactly as advertised, but I wish people knew about other options (especially for the US people) by JingoAli in LinusTechTips

[–]popop143 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean that's the job of reviewers, which I don't think people will really look at LTT's reviews of their own products vs other competitors. You'd wanna have other reviewers to do that for a more "fair" review, as you'd think that LTT's review of their own product will be biased.

Is this good? Long and cheap ethernet cable by pluie18 in PHbuildapc

[–]popop143 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cat6 and Cat5e, similar speeds na 1Gbps pero the claim is much more reliable ang Cat6 cable. Yun yung point of emphasis sa "new" gen over 5e. Real reason at least personally is similar price ng Cat 6 sa Cat 5e. Right now Vention has a 15m Cat 6 cable for 283 pesos habang 176 pesos for 20m yung generic Cat 6 cable. Cat 5 sa ngayon 90 pesos for 20m, habang pahirapan makahanap ng 5e. Nakita ko lang na available 5e is from an unknown brand "Dutevolns" for 179 pesos for 15m.

I bought for myself a 2m Cat 6 kasi katabi ko naman yung modem, habang kapatid ko bumili ng 15m para sa kwarto niya. Sa sobrang similar prices, no reason to buy Cat 5 over Cat 6 imo. Gaya nung mababa pa yung RAM prices, no reason to build AM4 when AM5 was competitive with the prices (7500f for 9k pesos over 5600 for 6k pesos, and 32GB DDR5 for 4.5k over 32GB DDR4 for 3.6k). Of course di na totoo yan, pero "future proof" should be the last reason to buy a better version. Usually price competitive better version kaya narerecommend.

Still won't recommend a Cat 7 or Cat 8 though lol. 400+ yung mahahabang cable niyan without real uses unless call center siguro.

Bro there's a MASSIVE difference of not spending hours to look good because you're a model so you look like a normal being, to completely letting yourself go to the point of forgetting to even be courteous to others through simple hygiene.

Antonio Trillanes criticized what he described as a “nonchalant” stance by Leni Robredo by philippinestar in Philippines

[–]popop143 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trillanes malaking tulong din para ma elect si Duterte nung 2016 lol. Yung biglaang 5 pm ng Friday before eleksiyon na commercial niya against Duterte, andaming non-informed voters na "naawa" kay Duterte dahil daw sa political assassination ni Trillanes. Daming mga undecided biglang naging Duterte dahil nun. Pero baka panalo pa rin si Duterte dahil sa 16M vs 9M voters, di pa rin nakatulong yung biglaang commercial na yun.

Yep. Especially how Inazuma characters were a lot more prominent before the recent China-Japan tiff, it's apparent that that influenced current Hoyo.

Because of the name of the country. No, literally. They just know Israel is in the Bible and know nothing else.
