Thanks all! I appreciate everyone who answered, especially those who provided a meaningful or nuanced response.

I framed my question in a specific way for a specific reason and got very useful insight about the vibe here, including how people interpreted the question.

On a dating app. Bumble or Plenty of Fish or Coffee Meets Bagel. I no longer remember.

I had just finished college and had proof and confidence that I had shed my desperation and insecurities. I was excited to date. Had intentions of dating a lot, sleeping around, finding a cool, low commitment consistent FWB or something.

I was set to be a menace and enjoy my heaux phase.

Tinder was full of bots, so I tried a few different apps, meta few girls, but hadn't really hit it off with anyone. I knew I liked weird/off kilter/nerdy girls. That much was certain.

So when I saw her tagline, which specifically asked for facts about a certain, semi obscure animal, I (excuse the pun) pounced And that was the greatest mistake I ever made.

She was a weirdo, to be sure. But like, a cool one. Self-confident. Curvy. With similar cultural experiences as me and a lot of similar interests and tastes. And I like the way she thought about things. She felt the same way.

After our second date I didn't wanna talk to other women. I didn't wanna play the field or sleep around or build a ho-tation. I just wanted her I wanted her to like me, to think about me, to want me too.

We've been married for 6 years now. She's still a lil goofy. Still very charming, very curious, and chubby curvy, and the person I most wanna hangout with on any given day.

 

Haters, assemble!!!!

Jokes aside, I want to know what drives you to inform the rest of a website, chat, forum, or thread, that you don't like/enjoy/want/do something.

I wanna hear what your impetus is.

Is the act cathartic? Do you have a personal, negative experience with the thing you're complaining about? Is the impulse automatic or do you think about it every time?

The question is only as serious as you make it, but I'm curious all the same.

I wonder why First Person Shooter of all things was the song that finally elicited a full diss verse from K Dot.

Or what happened for it to come on a (dope) Metro verse.

I'm not complaining at all. Hoping for a back and forth between him and Cole this summer

The verse itself is full of references though. I think that Click/B-Legit/E-40 line is my favorite though

"Going up to heaven on an escalator/ Cause they sent you to hell on an escalator"

Or maybe

"I look like a dick in my picture ID/ But also the pic isn't me. Hmm"

Given me a newfound distate for Linux users/evangelists. Like the vegans of the tech world

Found this during the Reddit diaspora. Tried it for weeks. Left. Came back once a month. Still not committed to this place but i still check in and post.

Too much FOSS/Linux evangelism here. Still too little activity in communities centered on my interests. The vibes are... not great here but I'm not giving up on it. I just don't think "my" people are here yet

Is the "woke" in the room with us now?

No worries; you asked a genuine question and got a genuine answer haha.. My wife is awesome and the best partner i could ever ask for, so I'm ahead of the game in that regard

It's the NSFW Content. TBH.

The artists who draw the art/topics/proportions I'm into, and the IRL models with those proportions, don't exist on Mastodon. If they do I haven't found them. So Twitter still gets my horny clicks cause that content doesn't exist elsewhere.

I've encountered no fewer than 3 different thread sizes rank for motherboard and M.2 standoffs, so i would start with a thread gauge, as small as possible, that at least includes M3, M4, #6-32, and #4-40 since those are the most common ones in my experience

It's tragic because those were two hyped New IPs that both staggered out of the gate and are unlikely to get sequels

 

If we're building PCs here, i wanna hear your opinions on (A)RGB LEDs. 5V, 12V, single color, addressable. MFing Lights.

What's your preferred amount? Just a few LED fans? Or some RGB RAM sticks? Maybe just on your CPU cooler? Or a single solitary LED strip?

Maybe you're like me. Maybe you need more. Maybe your build isn't complete unless everything is glowing and synced. LED strip, LED fans, CPU cooler, GPU, the works. Why can't a PC be functional and fun to look at?

Or maybe you want no LEDs at all. Maybe you're a Noctua fan. Maybe you cringe at the idea of PC components that light up more than absolutely necessary.

So let's hear it. How much lighting is enough? Is there such a thing as enough, or too much for you?

 

What GPU would you pair with an i7 4790k without being ba ridiculous mismatch?

I helped someone build 2 PCs for themself and their spouse, and in return they gave me some spare parts they had lying around.

Those spare parts ended up including an i7 4790k, motherboard, and RAM.

i understand it's not 2014 anymore and that CPU is old right now, but I'd like to turn it into a modest gaming machine and give/sell it to someone as a cheap first gaming desktop.

I'm in the US. My first thought was something like a 1070, or an RX 580, but looking around Offerup there's also a few 1660s and 5600 XTs for cheap as well.

Looking for ideas for 1080p gaming. Ideally something that will be slightly bottlenecked by the CPU/RAM so that when the buyer upgrades the CPU/RAM/MB the GPU will still be relevant.
