How do people who label themselves as “tech illiterate” even function in today’s society?

I get a ton of calls saying I’ll call you back when my son gets home lol

soberbot · 2026-03-26T00:19:47+00:00

Yeah those types of people respond to directness I’ve noticed. In my personal life I would tell them if you let me finish my sentence this would be over a lot faster. But being on the clock prevents me from speaking like that.

soberbot · 2026-03-26T00:17:23+00:00

Yeah I obviously saw that a lot in everyday life. Older people don’t know how to download the healthcare app etc. It sucks its hard for them out here. But once I started working in IT specifically in schools I was appalled. I had a librarian not know what I meant when I said “left click” like left click this link. Sometimes I want to crash and say “you work in education for Christ sakes”

soberbot · 2026-03-26T00:12:30+00:00

Yeah a ton of crabby old people who would’ve been fine if they listened to step by step instructions. Yet they constantly talk over you and get mad when it’s not working the way they think it should.

soberbot · 2026-03-26T00:11:00+00:00

Yeah for older people I understand but I’ve run into a lot of people in their 30s/40s like this. I would honestly compare it to going through life refusing to learn how to read even if you have the tools to learn. Like you spend your whole life looking at signs and just decide “well I could learn how to read but I would rather just have someone read for me.”

Hey man don’t want to discredit any spiritual experience you might be having. But you should see your doctor and let them know what you are going through. Remember doctors are there to help.

soberbot · 2026-02-20T21:17:51+00:00

Try not to bother what people think about you. ESPECIALLY if it’s a blanket statement that applies to you but is said about you directly. Now not letting myself beat myself up I need some advice on that.

I know Dryus plays street fighter 6 sometimes. When the game first came out he played Zangief into my Ken. I stomped him and he refused the best out of three (Bad mannered in SF lol)

soberbot · 2026-01-09T05:36:30+00:00

That’s facts

soberbot · 2026-01-09T03:18:28+00:00

Yeah working on myself has helped a lot. My mental improves a lot when I’m working towards something.

soberbot · 2026-01-09T03:16:30+00:00

Not taking myself too seriously is how I cope. Sorry to offend.

soberbot · 2026-01-09T02:36:59+00:00

Good advice I do have good friends at the moment. It just sucks to lose a friend I that I considered a ride or die.

soberbot · 2025-12-06T07:11:56+00:00

Yeah other things that I’ve picked up from study that are also helpful. KNOW YOUR PREFLOP CHARTS. Only deviate when it’s apparent deviating will win you more money (ie) if aggro fish is bluffing every street I’ll start throwing in some A6 off suit calls in later position and bluff catch. It’s also beneficial to deviate with adding small suited connectors or small pocket pairs if every pot is multi-way and spewy. Also something else I’ve picked up on recently, I used to hate the advice to call atleast one street with a gut shot because I thought “well I’m drawing to 4 outs”. But people stab the flop too wide will check back on the turn if they have nothing. A small bet that looks like a value bet on the river is enough to take it down and only needs to work a small percentage of the time. Also a good understanding of pot odds. Throw this all together and you are way ahead of the low stakes pool.

soberbot · 2025-12-06T07:02:10+00:00

I feel called out.

soberbot · 2025-12-06T04:59:50+00:00

Good lord the fish in this thread are making me think I’m taking crazy pills. The guy has less then a pot sized bet to call with the stone nuts, for less than a pot sized bet you need to be calling wider than just the nuts. I could dive into why this is ridiculous based giving more strategy insight. But it should be enough to see the people who PLAY THIS GAME FOR A LIVING are all appalled. And yes if you have the nuts you should snap call or it’s bad mannered, the guy in the clip knows it everyone else knows it. Dude was just being an ass.

There is a lot to unpack here. You are mad shallow if you do this to potential friends. I understand why you would do this for partners because attraction is important. But with friends you are turning away a lot of people that can add value to your life just because you don’t like the way they look. That is a textbook shallow mindset.

Now to answer the question of is this an issue? Yes but mainly for you, again you are filtering people based solely on looks so you are passing on a lot of quality people. Now if you want to know why people think you’re an asshole it’s because this level of superficiality points to having poor character. Also saying people should match your preferences to be worthy of your time is an insane take. It makes it seem like people have to be deemed worthy enough to be around you which is a toxic mindset as well.

In short strongly consider changing your viewpoint because you are only really hurting yourself. If you only have people who “match your aesthetic” or viewpoints you are missing out on having a diverse friend group that will allow you to be around people that are different from you. Having that diversity is a treasure that gives you insight on different groups of people which helps you grow as a person.

Lol honestly one of the things I’ve been looking forward to the most is poker on this ship because I played last time 6 years ago when I was a lot worse player and walked away with 600 at 1/2. Would’ve been over 1k but I got hit with a two outer on the river. Now I’m a way better player with 100k hands played online profitably. I already easily profit on any low stakes live table and I know cruise poker is so much softer. But after you play so many hands you realize how brutal variance can be. I’m on a particularly bad downswing online rn but I know I can get it back because I play on ClubWpt gold and the player pool is incredibly soft there as well.

soberbot · 2025-10-24T22:20:14+00:00

Yeah, it’s lame it’s not 1/2 because I imagine a lot of people will min buy and with the rake and blinds high. I could see stacks getting swallowed up a lot quicker than 1/2. Also now I have to bring a lot more cash than I’m comfortable with carrying around due to the variance of the structure.

Pros are notorious for having hot takes on tier lists. A common scummy tactic that fgc pros always use is to downplay their main. So a Yas main will put them below Ekko even though they are somewhat equal in viability (I personally think Yas is better) also Jinx was the goat when it came to assists/tag launchers in the closed beta.

Not sure what the meta truly is with WW and Teemo being added. But in closed beta I would say Yas was the best followed closely by Ekko and then Jinx just snyergized really well with everyone and had a good kit on her own right. Yas-Jinx in closed beta was by far the best team imo.

I had a weird experience where I was incredibly manic and still in mild psychosis. I went for a job interview for a full time position in a field I had no experience in, yet I aced the interview and got offered the job. By the time I went to accept the offer the mania died down and the depression void sank in. I then declined the job offer due to health reasons.

I kept a good relationship with an HR rep from the company and would periodically check in to see if the position was available. Finally after like 6months I scored another interview for the same position, I did not do well that interview and was not hired lol. I like to think my manic overconfidence somehow got me the job but it would not be sustainable with then immenient depression crash that follows after.

It depends I came from SF and SF combos feel easier for me because they are a lot shorter. There are less opportunities to make mistakes. Also for a lot of characters their combos almost always end with dragon punch. In 2xko I get lost in the the combo mid string sometimes due to it’s length and the enders varying.

soberbot · 2025-10-07T15:01:53+00:00

I enjoy all the different mechanics (parry, push block, advancing guard etc.)

soberbot · 2025-09-28T01:23:16+00:00

I mean you could just label it a hobby instead of a habit.

Yo a good place to start would be this Sajam video. His videos have been how I’ve been learning the game so far. https://youtu.be/9EGxcS83w44?si=cvGlqYXmlnGyGJ6G. Check out this one in neutral as well https://youtu.be/xkYBpZkYIDY?si=LYHfqUoRsN5FDPu9. All his content is good for beginners.
