Almost certainly multiple in that sort of setup

True, but don't discount the potential importance of sex to a adult romantic relationship or your partner.

For some people (like myself), I tend to take a lack of it as a significant indicator that I've done something egregiously wrong and/or that my partner doesn't feel any desire towards me anymore.

And please, if your partner has talked to you about feeling there is a lack of physical intimacy, sex, or desire: "I wouldn't let you fuck me if I didn't want it" is an absolutely soul crushing response to trying to tell someone you don't feel desired because you always have to initiate and they don't touch you during sex without being prompted. It's not meant to be something where one participant just passively "lets" it happen.

If it's not obvious, I have scars on my soul regarding this.

Wow, that's just stupidly edgy. Definitely like this edit better.

I'm surprised that they hadn't been using that data until now.

I feel like some words may have been added to that "quote" over time

What the fuck else could it have said except "my meat"?

It's absolutely possible. That's why reputable sites like FitGirl reccomend you disable the security, restart your computer, play the game, then re-enable the security, and restart again.

Don't run other shit or browse the web, minimize what you're doing and running while your security is weakened to the bare minimum. Play the game and that's it, then put things back to "safe".

As with any crack or bypass software, you shouldn't run it if you don't trust the source. These hypervisor bypasses are really for special cases where you absolutely can't wait for a traditional crack.

I'd argue personally that you can always just wait.

Now the actual likelyhood of anything taking advantage and being able to deeply persist once you turn the security settings back on? Can't really say. I would assume the chance is unlikely, but that's not based off of fucking anything substantial.

That developmental comment strikes me as more autistic, and I'm not sure if that's even accurate for ADHD. My understanding is that it's based off serotonin receptor issues that ultimately result in reduced executive functioning capability. Basically the brain literally doesn't release the reward chemical as appropriate, so we hyper fixate on immediate reward.

Most people saying shit like "everyone is a little X" are just being dismissive. Maybe they don't care, maybe they don't want to talk about it, but you're probably not convincing them. I'd probably keep it short with something along the lines of "Most people drink sometimes too, but some people are alcoholics. The difference is severity."

I'll be real, I don't often discuss my "conditions" outside of my spouse, my immediate family, and close friends. I don't go out of my way to hide it, but I'm not exactly volunteering it.

Anyway, the difference in a lot of these sort of things that people say everyone is a little bit of, is the severity as mentioned earlier.

Like for depression: Yeah, everyone gets sad sometimes. Most people can probably recall a time where something made them sadder than made logical sense. Most people don't have trouble finding happiness in literally everything, truly believe the world would be better off without them in it, seriously plan suicide methods and weigh the pros and cons of technique, and have such literal and real problems getting out of bed in the morning that sometimes they just don't.

OCD: Everyone has certain things they're extra particular about. Most people don't spend 6 hours in a frenzied panic scrubbing their whole body raw because they found a small hair they didn't recognize on their shirt.

ADHD: Everyone has issues focusing sometimes. Most people don't have a near full incapability to deal with things that only have long term effects. Most people don't have trouble maintaining focus on things for longer than 5 minutes at a time. Most people are able to more regularly force themselves to do what they should rather than what is the most immediately gratifying.

These aren't the best examples, but I hope I get the point across.

And don't discount the depression and anxiety diagnoses either. Depression is pretty frequently co-morbid with ADHD, as far as I know.

Personally, I'm on some ADHD meds, anti-depressants, and anti-anxiety. ADHD meds took me probably 5 years of dedicated trying with my Dr to find the right one and dosage that worked for me (this was before quick and extended release meds were a thing). Anti-depressants have luckily been a one and done, got it right the first time. Got on them when I realized that while I had plenty of reasons to be sad, it was preventing me from being able to reliably get out of bed in the morning and do basic care things like showering on a regular basis. Had a period where I didn't leave my room except to eat for a few months. Tried breaking from them a few times and confirmed they're still needed. Similar with anti-anxiety. Got it right the first time. Got them when I realized I was literally unable to leave work at work and would just loop stressful shit from my workday in my head during my downtime. Was having stress nightmares about being at work. Same thing, took a break and the shit came back so... yeah.

And fucking over the rest of the team by helping to perpetuate unreasonable expectations.

The correct response to too much work to accomplish in the time alotted isn't to burn your personal time, it's to communicate early and often with higher ups about the issues with the timeline, then let it fail.

Note: Because Morphe, a group of former Revanced devs that split from Revanced through a hard fork, is claiming that Revanced has taken some of their code back into Revanced without following the proper attribution for use of this code based off Morphe's license.

This isn't just some "kneecap the competitors" thing.

And this is also how I learned that Morphe is a hard fork of Revanced from former devs of it.

Given the spongebob comics being posted lately, I truly believed this was going to end with something heinous.

I think you've severely underestimated just how critical Linux is to the tech industry, and just how hard it would be for companies to move off of it.

If companies were afraid they'd have to face that kind of work, they would push back on our behalf.

Or they would make their own forks, we'd end up with a painful unmaintainable mess, and then they'd push back on our behalf.

You manage upwards against people unwilling to listen or comprehend by forcing them to experience the pain of their own poor decisions that they were already warned of. You don't accomplish anything by proactively capitulating to bad requests.

I promise we're good for it guys!

I'm absolutely amazed that Altman isn't considered toxic waste by now financially. He was declared untrustworthy by his own board, and as far as I'm aware OpenAI has fallen short of every known business agreement so far. They have so many deals contingent on shit they haven't delivered and can't deliver that it should make any risk analyst's head spin.

 

Figured I'd toss up a quick whine thread.

Daughter skipped her nap and is peak obstinant today. Having to "trick" her into following the schedule.

"I don't want bath! I want read book!"

We'll read some books in bed after your bath sweetie.

"Noooooooo!"

Well I'm gonna get a bath, see you later.

"No! No I want baaaaath!"

Just max threenager today.

If you like video game music, you already know this one. But this cover using real instruments is one of the best I've heard of this composition.

Man, I am so overdue for a CT replay. Just have to choose between my copy for DS or the "Plus" romhack.

 

The band has been described as doing metal/fuzz/stoner rock. This is from their album Black Hole Space Wizard Part 2. Part 1 and 2 make a complete story.

Humans escaping from a dying earth about to be devoured by the titular wizard, ship crashes with only one survivor. This track is the survivor trekking across a desert.

Will probably post a couple more from them.

 

Dankpods used 12 computers with different hardware to test the performance of 5 games in 1080p and 4K, comparing the average fps results of the games' built in benchmarks to determine which OS ran the game better across the same hardware: Windows or Bazzite.

Some notes on methodolgy under this spoiler

Each game uses the same in game graphics settings in Windows and in Linux. The Linux distro used was Bazzite, using the version specific for the graphics card hardware fpr each individual machine. To be clear, this means that he installed the Bazzite version for (legacy) nVidia as appropriate.

Each bazzite install was fresh, no copying installs or swapping around a drive with it pre-installed. After install, it was updated using system update and rebooted, repeated until no updates remained.

Screenshots of some of Dankpods's comments to this effect:

There are many comments under the youtube video pointing out that in many of the Linux runs, it was not actually using the correct driver, comments about the experience using other distros, and comments about various potential fixes and workarounds.

This misses the point. Dankpods intentionally tested this way, and used Bazzite, to try and show what this would be like for the average gamer schmuck without a ton of technical skill interested in switching to Linux. Out of box experience matters in this situation, even though it's not quite fair to compare that between free opens source distros and an OS created by a megacorp. To the average end user, it won't matter. They just want it to work.

Prepare to be upset. With this particular testing methodology, Linux doesn't really win overall.

I'm interested to hear the community's thoughts on this.

 

An absolute classic youtubepoop. Can't believe it's 17 years old.

Just about any line from this activates me like a sleeper agent. This is going to be stuck in my head for a month, at least.
