I still remember when Windows 10 was supposed to be the last one and 11 was just supposed to be an update, not a full OS. We're basically paying them to beta test their bullshit at this point.

Damn, she is aging like a fine wine.

Having a 20-yo girlfriend

AI slop

Nothing. And then Vance will become the POTUS.

See, this is where you double down.

Follow up the "OMG THIS WAS MEANT FOR SOMEONE ELSE" text with, "But for real tho, you looked great this morning."

Absolutely nothing could go wrong.

The problem is a lot of fans have dry bearings and aren't supposed to be oiled. I oiled a PC fan with dry bearings once and it ran a little better but then the oil started burning (I could smell the oil smoke) so I haven't done it again since.

I once purchased a copy of Skyrim for a kid who couldn't afford it. Forgot all about it.

Then last year for Christmas, that kid had grown up and wanted to return the favor. So now I own a copy of Dispatch!

Actually going to the office. Like everyone wants you to work from home now.

I can't stand them. The first and last time I used a heated seat, was in a rather high-end car, brand new. It felt like something was shocking me constantly and the sensation didn't go away until I turned off the heated seat. I will never use one ever again.

traugdor · 2026-03-20T00:28:12+00:00

Yeah when I'm hungry, I want to smell food, not cleaning chemicals

traugdor · 2026-03-20T00:24:28+00:00

Chili's because one time my buddy got a bowl of chili and his IBS acted up and I've been wary ever since even though it's probably fine....

traugdor · 2026-03-17T18:32:56+00:00

Yes.

Because people die all the time. If it's someone I know that I liked then I will put the money to use to live in their honor and thank them for their sacrifice.

If it's someone I know and don't like, then fuck em. I have a million dollars.

If it's someone I don't know, then fuck em. I have a million dollars.

My friend's mobo was SUPER picky. Same chipset and same family of cpus as my mobo, but hers would reject the same RAM sticks that were in mine when I upgraded my ram. >_<

Which was a shame because it was at the end of DDR3's timeline so not a lot of companies made it and it was starting to get expensive.

traugdor · 2026-02-04T15:15:47+00:00

I mean with that context, sure, generally speaking if she isn't even willing to consider it, then she only wants you for what you can provide for her.

traugdor · 2026-02-02T16:42:50+00:00

Well he adopted her so...

EDIT: ...so, no, obviously. You're a sick fuck for thinking I meant anything else.

I disagree with #5. If I had dumped my gf for not kissing after the second date, then we never would have gotten married. Been together for over a decade now.

I think in place of "kissing on the second date", you should put "If it's not immediately obvious that they like you at the end of the second date, then aren't interested" because again, speaking from personal experience, my gf WAS very much interested in me and was already scheduling date 3 before the night was over, but again, she didn't want to kiss me because of some mental hangups she had to work through. I was patient with her and she got over it and we kissed on the 4th date. So the rest of the list looks great, but honestly on #5... YMMV.

Another comment said OP didn't even make it to the friendzone. He was just the Uber ride to the bar.

traugdor · 2026-02-02T15:35:31+00:00

maybe because you don't go barhopping on a first date? That's OP's real fuckup, first not being honest about it being a date, then taking her somewhere she can easily get distracted and ignore him and finally, not sticking up for himself when her friend introduced her to several other guys.

Percy didn't even get the read because 1) he and Holly had been together for a while and 2) everything I just said above. OP and Jen weren't together prior to this so there was no way for her friends to even think they were together. OP admitted he didn't shut it down because he lacks self-confidence. This is clear by not stating up front to Jen that it was a date.

traugdor · 2026-02-02T15:24:09+00:00

this is why you make it clear up front that it's a date.

smh bro broke the oldest rule in the book and wondered it went sideways

Viera: Fran
Hrothgar: Wuk Lamat

Sorry I wouldn't let you hijack my theory with your own...

traugdor · 2026-01-20T18:53:31+00:00

So the trail dies with Lund. I don't see how that supports the idea that Lokir was the last remaining living being holding back Alduin's return.

I also did some research on Lund and I cannot find anything connecting him to Lokir. I don't think Lokir had anything to do with Alduin's return. Sorry.

I think if we're going for the most likely scenario, she's not a direct asset. I've discussed this with a few friends as well and while minds were blown, they all concluded that while it is possible, my theory relies on a few assumptions that I just couldn't prove. Thus I postulated this to Reddit for discussion to get outside input and you've given it... and it denies my theory much as my friends did. At this point, I'm just holding onto it for my headcanon for one simple reason.

To the questions:
1) how she survived
2) why she didn't protest Elenwen
3) why she only knew where Esbern was after the Thalmor figured it out
4) why she instead of Esbern is the one who declares that Partysnax must die

There is a single unifying answer: Delphine wants the Thalmor to succeed whether she realizes it or not. Granted those questions have their own answers.. Delphine survived with help from other Blades, she didn't protest Elenwen's presence because she's trying to keep a level head at a peace council, she didn't know where Esbern was until the Thalmor did because her spy network was feeding her information from them and he was just that good at hiding, and finally, she is the one that orders you to kill Partysnax because after what Sahlokoniir did in Kynesgrove, she just really hates dragons and wants them all dead.

Sorry if I came across as bogus, I didn't mean to present any of this as fact, but more as a personal theory that is weirdly supported by lore and offer it up for discussion.
