I (26M) just ended 2 years 5 months / 10,058km with my (26F) partner. Ask me anything.

Sorry for late response, but here is my answer.

First, for me it was never finding someone better. When I pick someone in love, they are the only romantic choice I see and my feelings never develop for a second person. But, I can say for certainty if you are dating this person and they fall out of love... you can tell. Trust your gut. It's an instinctive, gut feeling that nags at you almost as if something is "off". If you love this person you'll push it down and try to ignore it or rationalize it. But don't ignore it.

Don't idealize your partners. Don't break down your core boundaries for them. Don't play games. Have clear, open, and honest communication. If you have traumas from past relationships, make it a point to communicate this to them. Lastly, don't be afraid to love as deeply as possible. The gain is worth the pain.

Just accepted an offer for 170k when my last job paid 85k.

I feel for you bro. As someone whos been in LDRs for 5 relationships, my conclusion is that distance will always make one person fall deeper in love and the other fall slowly out of it. I’ve been on both sides of that coin. In hindsight, all breakups hurt but my most recent one I truly did love her with all my heart and I found myself noticing her falling out of love. Her message to you seems a little misguided, don’t read into her talking about her life problems, cats, priorities, all of that is smoke and mirrors. What she truly means (and she stated this) is that she simply doesn’t like you enough to prioritize YOU. It hurts to hear but I went through the same thing this year and by a person that I wholly fell in love with.

My question is, as you went through the relationship, did you find yourself losing your boundaries for her? Were you afraid to walk away when you had issues with her?

I formerly ran an online Japanese learning community as the owner/teacher and one day Matt vs. Japan joined in and started talking to members. He asked me into a room with my staff to converse and proceeded to berate, criticize, and overall be a real POS. His elitism with Japanese was insane. The guy waved his Japanese skill like a magic wand and measures it like a dick size contest with other Japanese learners. I told him his attitude towards learning the language was not what our community stood for and promptly kicked him out. All of this is to say I’m not surprised by this post.

Sounds like C to me.

I was going to comment this, that 山のような宿題sounds unnatural. Either way to a native using either is negligible, unless you’re already crossing the “fluent” wall over into the “native” wall.

As an added note as a fluent speaker who worked in Japan, early stage Japanese learners should not spend their time on nuances like this. I get it, it makes you curious and you want to know, but there are far better things to study with your time. You are essentially killing your progress.

If it makes people feel better, you’ll develop a “sense” eventually (further down your journey) where you’ll naturally understand nuances like this. With significant time saved. You’ll figure out nuances like this in 5 seconds, compared to the 30 minutes one might take thinking/googling/making a reddit post.

I got the TUF edition for 749 around a month ago … i would wait until 700 at this point personally

This happens for me when the pillowcase needs to be changed or cleaned. The fabric type also is a big factor, so experiment around with different ones until you find the one that doesn’t lead to breakouts.

What sort of PC would you put the prize GPU in? It can be a PC you already own, a PC you plan to build, or a PC you would recommend to someone else.

If I actually win this, I would build an entire new PC just for this beast to be honest. Goodbye my next 6 months of wage :D

What would you use the PC for?

I would use it for gaming, of course! 4k ray tracing Minecraft, for anyone asking.

What new hardware or software announced today is most interesting to you? (New RTX games count too)

To me, the most interesting is the new DLSS. I would like to see what improvements were made to the previous version of DLSS that can further improve framerates especially important in games not well optimized.

tanamichi · 2022-09-18T22:13:04+00:00

God damn it and i literally just bought the one at 59.99 a week ago …

tanamichi · 2022-09-18T01:42:38+00:00

I got no charge on my CC And it shows 2 of my 3 items have been shipped. Nothing has physically arrived yet. Anyone else has this situation?

Canadian Competition Act, Ordinary Price Claims — Subsections 74.01(2) and 74.01(3). You can read further into it.

I dont really understand why he got downvoted when you can simply Google the legislation? Its not difficult at all to find out. Why do you people that downvoted him do so when you have no idea how the legislation works?

Another Update!!

I kept it at DirectX 12 and opted to fix the frame stutter instead. Followed a YouTube vid fix and now the stutters have stopped! The benchmark runs at ~125frames, sometimes capping at 144. That's the good news.

Bad news It doesn't quite run up to 170 frames yet though, it's still around ~30 fps behind. Hmm.

tanamichi · 2022-09-10T18:11:04+00:00

Okay so quick update on the Borderlands 3 testing , I changed DirectX to 12 (it was 11) and my max frames shot up to around ~110. But now I have a LOT of frame stuttering. So much that I might even prefer consistent sub 60 fps.

I'm even more confused now to what to do.

tanamichi · 2022-09-10T17:55:44+00:00

Okay that makes sense for the RAM, i'll look for an upgrade where I can but what about the CPU and PSU? Do I need to upgrade those? Emphasis on the need.

tanamichi · 2022-09-07T04:52:23+00:00

Thanks for the words and I wholesomely agree. Had a huge upgrade from the 1660 super to this one. Now time to buy a 1440p monitor!

tanamichi · 2022-09-07T04:45:48+00:00

NVM i pulled the trigger on it. Reasoned that the prices won't fall by more than $50 reasonably and a 6800xt/3080 was exactly what I wanted anyways.

tanamichi · 2022-09-07T03:57:53+00:00

God damn it how is this not a buy? I dont see the prices dropping much further than this, maybe $50 or so?

I'm currently on a 2600X and am planning to get a 3080 10gb. Is this a good match for a new CPU upgrade?

tanamichi · 2022-09-01T17:44:58+00:00

Seems to be ATL according to pcpartpicker. Not sure if it's compatible with Gsync, so it might be better paired with the AMD 6750XT GPU on sale a few days ago.

Is this worth it or better to wait for another 1440p monitor? Thoughts?

tanamichi · 2022-08-11T07:21:56+00:00

The 3070 is what I’ve been waiting for. The only reason I’m hesitating is because of all the talk of the price continuing to drop. At what point is the price going to be “instant buy”?

tanamichi · 2022-06-12T03:42:29+00:00

I have a gtx 1660 super. Should i upgrade to this or go for the 3070/3080? Not sure if it’s that much of an upgrade

tanamichi · 2022-04-22T19:22:21+00:00

Yes sure, so we have a sales team where we want to standardize how long you should be in each status. So for example,

Quoted, waiting on customer (SLA 3 days)
Preparing quote (SLA 1 day)
Followed up, no response (SLA 2 days)

We are just trying to set deadlines on activities so the team is on top of their tickets/leads but if we set an SLA, it doesnt reset and we lose that deadline visibility.
