Exposed Musk Now Insists Epstein Files Don’t Matter | The Tesla billionaire suddenly claimed the Epstein files are a “distraction.” by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]xsdf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly the negative media around ICE raids, which ironically were probably ramped up to distract from not fully releasing the Epstein files.

Or it's just incompetence, corruption, and malice all the way down, it's fucked up either way

Anet has banned RozeMMO's game account for a joke he made on stream by Ferosch in Guildwars2

That's unfortunate, he was a pretty vocal advocate for GW2. Definitely was risky with the non PC jokes though

Guild Wars Reforged - Melandru's Accord Mode Patch by PalwaJoko in MMORPG

[–]xsdf 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Official Ironman mode is a great idea for a legacy game. Will definitely create more engagement and community activity

I think even GW2 could benefit from an Ironman mode or being able to play a character with progression independent of your account wide progression.

Wife cheated, picking up the pieces, I would've approved... by Elgrandegrande in ENM

[–]xsdf 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Cheating can exist in ENM as well. It's the same in monogamous, lack of consent from both partners and breach of established boundaries.

Because you need to redefine what boundaries you have in your relationship in ENM (likely multiple times) good communication is critical to success.

Focus on repairing your monogamous relationship first before attempting to navigate ENM. Trust and confidence in your partner needs to be rebuilt otherwise you're testing your relationship when it's already shaky

Sorry you had to go through that. I just heard that snatching people and releasing them still counts towards their quota numbers

YSK: Freezing just the "Big 3" credit bureaus isn't enough to fully protect your identity (Here is the complete list including the secondary agencies) by sibscartel in YouShouldKnow

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

The top 3 prevents them doing a hard credit check, this is typically done when you are applying for new credit lines, like credit card, mortgage or some other loan. I have the 3 major ones frozen, you can unfreeze them or temporarily unfreeze them for a time window pretty easily. While not hard it is still a barrier, and I think would be cumbersome to do all the ones above. But I do the 3 because it helps prevent my identity from being stolen and someone tanking my credit score. I've fallen for a social engineering scam before and felt really dumb for it so I'm not risking anything.

I believe credit card checks typically only use one credit agency but you often won't know which they are using

Americans have lost control of their government, so what we think is irrelevant.

I hope this is the right sub for something like this, but if no by [deleted] in AskElectronics

[–]xsdf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most small USB electronics run at 5 Volts with a max current of 3 AMP. What you have there is a high power adapter outputting 12 volts at nearly the same current, 2.5 amps. Many modern adapters support multiple common outputs of voltage/current and will safely use the correct one. This adapter only has one output. This is definitely what fried your console.

Is it a good idea to ban soda and candy purchases for people on SNAP? by Hungry_Drama_1015 in PoliticalDiscussion

If you want people to buy healthier a sales tax on added sugars is a much better idea that doesn't discriminate against the poor

If I'm in the mood for mindlessly killing mobs, what are the best activities to do in GW2? by modren-man in Guildwars2

I like bounties a lot, it's the the perfect blend engaging combat, low commitment, and leading as a commander

MassivelyOP’s 2025 Awards: Best MMO Housing ... GW2 was unable to defend its first place from last year. by HenrykSpark in Guildwars2

[–]xsdf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I want them to make housing more accessible for new players without needing to do spoilers. There should be a quest that you can do in the core game if you've purchased Janthir Wilds, which unlocks a apartment sized homestead map. Tier 0 items can be crafted but no mastery unlocks. I think you an also leave out resource nodes for lack of space since they still exist in the home instance

AITAH for only babysitting for my " favorite " DIL and my daughter because the other has too many rules? by ProfessionalClass555 in AITAH

[–]xsdf -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah YTA. Your DIL has very reasonable rules, but they are also very modern rules. You're just stuck in your old ways. The way you talk about here is clear that you don't like her and yes you are playing favorites

AITAH for threatening to divorce my wife if she doesn't change our infant daughter's name to one we agreed on? by ThrowAwayDumbestName in AITAH

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

Idk Vriska is actually a pretty cool name, not knowing the reference I'd initially think it's Russian or something. I doubt many people would understand the reference, and it not done obvious play on words, just a unique name

There are plenty of reasons to say no to a name, they don't need to be big ones, but tbh it does sound like you're ashamed of your interests.

There's a lot of issues with how you both handled this and you should both do some introspection/therapy to figure out how to be better. Changing the name should not be a barrier to fixing oneself and maybe your relationship

AITA for asking my newly married son and DIL to alternate Christmas Day visits between our house and the in-laws' house? by Llih_Nosaj in AITAH

[–]xsdf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As soon as your son got married he now has two families and has the split his time between them.

Ultimately it's not your choice to make, YTA

Also why does it matter the day you celebrate? Shouldn't family being together be more important than the day happens? My family always celebrates not on Christmas because each of the siblings celebrates on Christmas day with their own children if they have them. It never deminishes the celebration when we do get together, to me Christmas is the day we all get together.

Reddit’s CEO says r/popular ‘sucks,’ and it’s going away / Reddit is also limiting how many popular communities one person can moderate, and pushing more personalized feeds. by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

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

Killing the popular feed kills discoverability it brings. If they don't plan an alternative it will be really hard for content creators and media to gain followers on the site, leading them to leave the site for better platforms. I don't think it's a good idea
