Maybe they were harder to find on their site like a decade ago when I first got an Nvidia card and I just never tried looking again.

Pssst, what is neofetch and fastfetch?

Are you actually able to do that now? You used to not be able to or they were sufficiently hidden.

🤭 Goober!

It’s a good example of “show don’t tell” storytelling. There’s no dialogue (other than the toilet people singing the Skibidi song). But you see an escalation of conflict play out with multiple factions and returning characters. It’s really well done. Some of the earliest ones are a little slower but they still help set the stage for what’s going to come. I’d suggest checking it out, watching the first few isn’t a big time sink.

That’s actually a hilarious idea. A true oracle device but it looks at a different universe.

TIL that nobody in the US military that has died has never ever been Muslim.

Honestly I haven’t seen it often. I think the first time I saw it was actually in a Crusader Kings 2 or Europa Universalis 4 tutorial video because it was an option you could do to your forts or something to reduce upkeep.

How would I feel?

I’d be upset about the tone, he’s speaking a little condescendingly in my opinion

Being a bit cheeky lol, but I can expand.

If my parents did this to me I’d be furious, but I also have always had this teenager-like aversion to everything my parents do even into my 30s. Whenever I do anything that reminds me of my parents it sends me into a bit of a spiral. Even when they’re good things my parents do. My parents are nice, good people. Like I’ll notice myself being helpful to people like my dad does and I’ll be angry that I’m being like him (it’s not quite that general, it’s not like general altruism makes me angry lol).

It’s also really difficult for me to know exactly how I’d react in this scenario because I’ve been with my partner for over half of my life now and we got together in high school.

So I’ve never really not had a partner since I was 15 and I already hate everything my parents do for some reason and am cognizant that it’s an unfair reaction.

Another thing I know is that some older folks (gen x and older) tend to communicate differently, especially over texts like SMS, than younger folks (millennial and younger). So I try to account for OP being 22, assume they were 25ish when they had OP so they’re 47ish. People I’ve talked to in that age range tend to seem more cold over text without meaning to. (An example, just replying a 👍 seems rude or sarcastic, but it is somewhat typical from them and they don’t mean anything by it.)

So when I read this, I try to get rid of my innate aversion to my parents, imagine myself feeling desperate and unloved, and try to be very gracious in my interpretation of the text. When I do all those it, at worst, seems like a weird thing to do unprompted. But I have no idea how OP’s father talks to them outside of texts. I don’t know what their relationship is like. I don’t know if this is violating boundaries because I don’t know what sort of boundaries they have. There are even cultures where this sort of thing is more normal and I don’t know if OP belongs to any of those cultures or a culture like what I grew up in where it’s not normal.

Some older folks tend to speak in a way that comes across as rude in text messages without meaning to. I think it’s a case of that.

I’d be upset about the tone, he’s speaking a little condescendingly in my opinion, but the reality is that arranged dates have been a thing for a very very long time. It’s not embarrassing.

Olive answers the tortie call!

This reminds me of my old muted tortie Ranger! She looked a lot like this. My parents had to put her down a few years ago, sadly. She was the sweetest thing. Her and her siblings were all so drooly. Whenever you’d pet them, especially when they were in your lap, they’d drool. Ranger was the most drooly. She’d do it even if she wasn’t in your lap. She was very vocal. She’d sing the song of her people to be let outside. One day she just lost her voice, not sure why, maybe cats have a finite amount of meows hehe, because she certainly was the most talkative. She’d still make her silent ones.

One more story. She was such an insistent cuddler. When I was a teenager I didn’t want her in my lap because I had to get up at some point or something, I don’t know. I kept sort of shoving her paw off when she tried to climb down from the back of the chair onto my shoulder and down my chest to my lap. She finally started to move so so so slow. She was trying to sneak into my lap, like if she didn’t move fast she wouldn’t be seen or something. I got my mom’s attention so she could laugh too.

Her little goatee in this pic is so cute!

99% of the time if someone is telling you something like they nearly were suicidal over something you said and it feels really out of the blue like that they’re just manipulating you.

This is a nasty nasty situation to be in. I’d talk with your superiors and be transparent about all this, including the outing with your fiance. They might try to twist it into something it wasn’t.

Thanks for the heads-up! Looks like the graphics are quite different. I’ll still give it a shot though.

Turns out the Turing test never mattered when we’ve been willing to suspend our disbelief all along.

Heh heh heh, programming.dev is safe.

and i read now im responsible on maintaining it, what does it mean? is it just finding and testing drivers? or system update? what is the easiest way to do it? and what i getting myself into?

Where did you see this? What was the context? I ask because you could say the same thing about any PC you own. It’s not like Microsoft is gonna answer your distress call if Windows breaks unless you’re paying for support.
