Some people simply don’t know how to be good friends. You really shouldn’t take it personal

I’ve just had to learn my closest friends simply aren’t capable of providing emotional connection like I’d like. I’m working on becoming a better friend to them, meeting them where they are , trying to figure out how to provide for and validate my own emotional needs, so I can eventually work up the courage, or whatever it is I need, to meet friends that are more emotionally mature enough to have the real connections I’m looking for

I once delayed a party where I had tons of family over because my friends hadn’t arrived. They didn’t get there until like 10 or something, after I’d already told them to just fuck off. The thing is, they are my friends and they legit care about me in their own (weird to me) ways. I’ve just come to realize they’ve got legit issues, as I do (part of why we’re drawn to being friends), that they’re working on to varying degrees, and I simply can’t expect more from them than they’re capable of giving

Good luck finding a chill healthy tribe of folks that shares similar values to your own!

Anyone know if The Finals counts as a “live service” game? It’s free to play and I think it’s fantastic - both the game and the fact it’s free.

I just don’t play games enough to justify the huge asking prices anymore. The last games I paid for were COD MW2 and Cyberpunk and I doubt I’ll ever drop $70+ for a game again, especially when there’s games like splitgate and whatnot that are free (not that I ever tried the new one. lol)

I can’t comment on either of them, but I agree with your last point and I will absolutely forever be suspicious of anyone labeling others as antisemitic.

It’s like when white Americans brand a political movement or activist as racist. You know they’re likely full of shit and you just need to do some very light reading before it all falls apart.

Are those the only options? lol.

I just looked it up, and I’m honestly struggling to find a good source (Google really sucks nowadays), but it seems like there are very few North Koreans coming to/living in the US, like way less than even I would’ve thought

I stand by it being silly. If somebody doesn’t know about the history/politics of the US and NK than sure it’d totally be fair to ask where a Korean is from since pretty much everyone should at least know there’s two. lol. But, if you know the history and the current political situation, it’s pretty silly - unless you’re like at a war memorial or something.

It’d be like asking a brown latino in SoCal if they’re from Guatemala. Like, sure, they could be, but 99 times out of 10 they’ll be Mexican, based on so much available context.

One last thing. I hope you don’t think what I’m saying is akin to prejudice or something. If it is let me know and I’ll address that specifically. Definitely not saying to judge people before you’ve met them

I know y’all are trying to be open minded, so first off, you’re doing great! That said, you’re doing so well it’s kind of at risk of being opened so wide your brain might fall out

Seriously though, I would absolutely think someone was… being silly (to put it nicely) if they asked which Korea an American was from (this for sure wouldn’t apply to an 8 year old tho)

Hey now, maybe their entire family consists of nerds and trans chicks

Sorry but what the hell is xorg? Is that another place like 4chan or something

Fair enough. I still wish I could just accept the risk and click a button that forfeits my use of Microsoft support or something

I could totally get on board with that.

I’ll definitely do it once I work up the energy… or more likely Microsoft forces me to move. lol

I thought you were gonna make a joke about linux users having to fix some random issue that popped up on linux

Idk… it’s been a while since I used it and I always had issues that took hours to troubleshoot. lol

You just helped me realize all the people that make a big deal out of getting monthly “security” updates for their phones are probably just dumb teenagers!

I hate mandatory updates with a fiery passion

But it’s just Obama. Why not use the American flag or put USA somewhere?

Sure he ramped up drone use… but like you said we would’ve done that regardless of who was president

You’re assuming a lot dude, I don’t disagree with you on any of that stuff. I literally never mentioned any of those things you’re upset about. Go reread my comment.

All I’m saying is, the company I work at, which doesn’t reflect everyone, has trans managers and more women leading teams of engineers than I think most Americans would imagine. That’s why I asked.

I’m like 95ish% with you, it’s just that you made a huge claim, the US isn’t inclusive. Try to imagine a person that isn’t “willfully” ignorant, for lack of (trying to find) a better word, hears you say that while from their view they see more and more trans people, women, POC, and immigrants in real positions of power. It would be understandably jarring to say that’s not inclusive.

Regardless, I think you forgot to answer my question. What does the word inclusive mean to you? Is it like an all or nothing kind of thing? If so, what would that look like?

Honestly, you’re not making conversation with you easy. But it’s all good. Haha. I can be pretty rude and insufferable at times, myself (no offense). We totally don’t have to keep this going if it’s not worthwhile

You don’t think the US is inclusive? What does that word mean to you?

Not trying to argue or anything. It’s just a bit surprising to me. I work in the US and the company I work at takes great steps to be inclusive. I legit have to always applaud their efforts (as a brown dude that supports gay/trans folks). I honestly can’t imagine there’s many cities on earth where that happens

Edit:typo

lol. It’s funny cause we’re supposed to pretend the alternatives would’ve been better (i.e. Clinton, McCain, or Romney)

The Finals Season 3 1000%

I absolutely love the first two seasons. I haven’t enjoyed a game like this in years.

It’s a bit sweaty but I feel like it can be pretty casual (out of ranked). Like the difference between playing a casual game of soccer or basketball compared to a competitive match of either. It takes strategy, teamwork and good game sense/skills to win a match as opposed to strictly kills. Idk, it’s super cool and people should give it a shot

I absolutely hate that. What’s wrong with just entering a key? They act like it’s difficult or they’re doing something truly impressive when it’s obvious they’re getting way more out of users having an account

Would something like that only apply to store-bought PCs? Or could they somehow lock a motherboard you bought separately? Sorry, no idea how bootloaders work, despite unlocking em plenty of times on Android phones in the past

One difference is there was already value with having a gmail account. What’s the point of getting a Microsoft account? The only thing I can see is it makes settings set up/transfer easy between PCs and for reinstalls.

Except, if I’m reinstalling, I can’t imagine waiting to copy settings since one of those settings is probably causing a problem and I don’t want it to be automatically set for me. I also don’t use the Microsoft store so…

Does anyone else actually get value from their Microsoft account? If not, It just feels like it’s only purpose is giving them (more) access to your computer. Why would anyone want that?
