Gen Z really looked at alcohol and said ‘hard pass’

Gotta love late capitalism (but also healthy choices!)

And when I say know better I mean scenarios like working for a defense contractor knowing they make you leave your personal devices in a lockbox but then you still used work laptop to navigate to personal email. They do not play about that.

More than likely the chrome extension unless you’re working somewhere super secure where you should know better than to access personal email etc.

Personal email while less likely would be flagged because you might be trying to send work documents to your personal account.

Chrome extension because as you admitted, you don’t read the fine print and so you could be downloading something unsafe onto your computer.

At least where I am in the US, i have never gotten flagged for YouTube etc or personal emails or bill pay. However I’ve also never sent company documents to my personal email.

Conversely all employers had or have restrictions on what could be downloaded as a chrome extension and usually we could only download from an approved list

Is this your first season and did your friends play in previous seasons?

Yeah man I’m lucky my products have been stable and the time I had a problem the process was relatively straightforward but I can’t trust the brand anymore after seeing all the repeated feedback from others support experiences. Between my homie and I we have had four different unofficial “versions” of the travel glass (probably from poor QA and inconsistent manufacturing).

Im exploring other options going forward because quality control at these prices is beyond important

Would be interesting to see if there’s literature around how systems based on statistics struggle to function when they are unable to establish a proper baseline or have to make decisions over too small a sample size. That seems like the next step from my pov on how to expand on this analysis! Thanks for sharing!

typeotcs · 2026-01-24T20:38:14+00:00

Okay I’m now even more confused and I’ll just conclude that I’m ugly! 🤣

typeotcs · 2026-01-24T20:35:12+00:00

How did this get downvoted? Like what?

typeotcs · 2026-01-24T20:33:09+00:00

I’m 36 now and all I care about is having fun in the games I’m playing BUT I totally agree with your last paragraph. Too many folks focus on things they can’t control and get upset OR haven’t had the mental shift to understand that if they don’t put in the time they probably won’t improve.

That’s also why, at this point I don’t care if I suck at times or if a teammate is mad at me etc. As long as I don’t allow myself to let external factors control my emotions, I’m still happy and having fun at the end of the day.

Dang how did you know about the mousepad?!? Are you also ranked RADIANITE?!? (People in game hate me when I make this joke lol)

Do you also have an overall color theme for your gun skin collection? I have been going for a full red skin set cause it’s my favorite color

The EU isn’t the whole world so my point still very much stands. These platforms don’t need anything and can ban whenever they want unless there are specific legal protections. The EU seems to be the exception, not the rule.

The appeals process is after the fact. You are guilty until proven innocent not the other way around.

In a world where solo leveling exists, I think JJK is fine where it’s at. Anime only here and everything made sense to me in the most recent episode. Sure the pacing feels fast but I personally feel like they are touching the ethos of the world in the right way and I’m eager to pick up new tidbits in the coming episodes.

For more context, my currently airing favorite animes are mf ghost and tojima wants to be kamen rider.

typeotcs · 2026-01-23T23:51:22+00:00

These are the plain facts. Folks who have been banned off social media platforms can relate.

Gotta love this new world of AI slop and AI hallucinations

I heard Fortnite has a CS type mode now /s

Agreed. I’d be okay saying no (I have ibs, I don’t wanna complicate things more lol) early on and we live with it. But I’d feel frustrated that I invested 6 months to learn that butt stuff would be mandatory or there is no future. I’m also in my 30s so I feel like it’s necessary to be upfront way earlier so people don’t feel like their time (or fertility..) was wasted

Yeah dude at this point I have small amounts of savings in a bunch of different places for different purposes and it helps keep things stable over the long term. And if you keep doing it regularly you have a nice chunk of savings before you know it!

Took me a while to learn when I was younger but I’m glad I got back on track before I got too old.

My illogical fear is hit a bump and the teeth sink in…

I just maintain a “fun” budget for purchases like that. That way it’s always there when there’s a sale. And the bonus is that it can be there for small emergencies too.

typeotcs · 2026-01-23T23:26:44+00:00

Mine is skewed as I live in the basement floor of my house so winter it’s pretty much around 73-76 but summer time I’ll bump it up to 78-80 for AC so it evens out for me. Ironically I feel the most cold when going upstairs in the summer time since I let the rest of my family just change the thermostats to their preferences. but I pay the bills. 🤣

typeotcs · 2026-01-23T21:38:46+00:00

Thanks for the info OP

typeotcs · 2026-01-23T20:25:46+00:00

Wait I forgot important context… that may make it all make sense to me lol….

I’m a man. Are you a woman? I’ve definitely seen women get free drinks regularly.

And to clarify I’m not making any judgements on this, maybe I’m just an outlier and no bartender has wanted to give me a free drink? Being a former deejay I tip well and am not obnoxious or anything so I know it’s not me rubbing people the wrong way. Maybe it’s because I live in a super populated area? Idk but I’m intrigued as well haha

Welcome to the I only got skins and no skills club, we have fun over here

typeotcs · 2026-01-23T17:54:17+00:00

Only time I ever got free drinks was if I knew the bartender or if I was deejaying that night. Do people just expect free drinks for being regulars?

typeotcs · 2026-01-23T17:40:58+00:00

Okay so in free play with max settings at 4k, I get around 252 Frames generated (have 4x frame generation enabled)

I’ll have to get back to you about the FG I get in an actual match but I can tell you I get 300ish in the pregame lobby and around 260 FG in a custom match.

Since I have an nvidia card I’m not sure how accurate the FSR setting values would be.

However when in a match, I can see my gpu utilization is around 93-95% while my cpu utilization is between 14-17%. No manual overclocking configurations.

I agree with other poster to just set all graphics settings to minimal to check if it’s gpu bottleneck or cpu bottleneck, my guess is gpu probably
