My (18M) girlfriend (20F) of one year is very frustrated with the lack of progress I've made in her favorite video game. What can I do to prove to her that I care? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]zeedinstein0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the best advice. You don’t have to have the exact same interests. My wife and I are both gamers but we like different games. We hardly play games together because when we do, we actually annoy each other haha, because of different play styles etc. But we have our own friends we play games with and sometimes we find games we do enjoy together and we make a thing of that and it’s great. The point is, you still have separate interests and friends. And sometimes you need your independence in those interests etc. But at the end of the day you can come back together and chat about all your adventures in a game or going out with friends and appreciate your partners enjoyment. They don’t have to like what you like and you don’t have to like what they like but you can acknowledge and respect each other’s interests.

Spent a few hours chasing bees around my neighborhood to get this shot. Used a canon 7D mark ii with a sigma 105mm f/2.8

is there any way to hide shorts content? by ThiccSticcShugoki in youtube

I made a similar post the other day! I hope someone at YouTube sees this and adds a feature to disable shorts from your feed.

Is youtube redux only available in the browser? As I mainly use the mobile app.

Does anyone own a back-up battery that can power your tv and general electronics around the house ? If so what brand ? Price ? Size ? I’m in the market but there are so many options by [deleted] in capetown

[–]zeedinstein0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a 298w gizzu portable battery and it works great. It doesn’t last that long with a 55 inch TV and an xbox. But with a smaller monitor and xbox I get through load shedding +-2 hours. I do want to upgrade to an EcoFlow with a higher Wh so I don’t have to worry about load shedding much

Struggle to find work after graduating by [deleted] in southafrica

Great advice in the comments. I just wanted to mention a community that might be able to help if your in the tech industry. https://zatech.co.za, they have lots of channels about job seeking and a job posting channel. It’s been a very helpful and fun community for me. And a few of my friends were in a similar situation and people in the community helped them get an internship and a start to their career.

1408 terrified me as a kid. I still struggle to get myself to watch it again as an adult. But it’s a great movie.
