The real solution is just to make gpus external and use a high-speed connector. But that would actually make sense, and would also make gaming laptops significantly better, so we can't have that.

Ill be honest Im not the most computer savvy but wouldnt have to lug around a GPU defeat the purpose of a laptop?

Im guessing by big troll thing you mean the boss Margit? Dont worry buddy you will be slapped back to reality soon.

I dont get this argument. Who is telling you that you need to be jacked and have a beard? Its a completely made up narrative. Just because people on TV look like that doesnt mean anyone is holding it against you if you dont.

Sure sometimes I see a guy on TV and wish I was in better shape but that doesnt mean the guy on TV is wrong.

Like whats the point here?

He was hurtful to a ridiculous degree in that topic and he skates on it because no one expects better of him.

I hurt him back and I recognize that. I'm not proud of it, but I'm not going to grovel over it.

I respect it. Stand your ground bro. Everybody doesnt deserve kindness.

As long as theres no favoritism why does it matter? I doubt youre watching to see fundamental basketball.

I can tell people saying flopping dont watch ball. There was a ton of flopping until last year when refs stopped calling those. They call it more like FIBA now.

Theres still flopping but I wont knock the NBA when theres clear improvement there.

I can not even comprehend being on video with anyone from CE. Especially while naked.

Thats unfortunate for TC though.

Any game with a true competitive scene has a meta. If one character is OP then there is usually some time of counter or a few other OP characters available.

So no, not really.

Im sure theyll get right on it!

you have the story completely wrong and I'm not shocked
if you think I wanted those images posted you'd be completely wrong

Bro deny, deny, deny. Why would you admit posting that? How the hell do you accidentally post a dick pic to CE of all places?

Been a Lakers fan all my life. I was a Kobe Stan never really been a fan of Bron. Once Kobe retired basketball wasnt the same but once he died I lost interest.

I used to watch a ton and post on the NBAB all the time but its just not the same now. Every year theres one or two super teams and you can often predict how the season will play out before it even starts.

League needs more parity.

So youre just thinking about this dick pic years later? I get that its out of the ordinary but at the same time think about that. Youve spent years with this mans penis stored in your mental archives.

How do you guys remember peoples posts from years ago?

I like caffeine. I prefer energy drinks. Coffee breath is gnarly and energy drinks are just lower effort.

Honestly might just switch to caffeine pills. Coffee and energy drinks both have their downsides.

I have to say this is my least favorite thing about this website by far. If you disagree with anyone youre having a meltdown or so mad.

Shit is childish and annoying. Either refute the point or accept you got owned and move on.

This is where people come to get their frustrations out. Better than spazzing on people in real life.

Prepared to be amazed at just how many games run fine.

I spent several hours playing cyberpunk on it yesterday

The flip side is also be prepared for some not to run. A lot of people reported Ghostwire to run with no issues but later in the game it struggled.

Regardless its a great piece of hardware. I gave up on getting a PS5 once I got mine.

why do you dudes get worked up over things that don't affect you? what's there to feel so challenged about? i didn't ask who thought which hill was or wasn't a good one to die on. this was no big loss or else i would have jumped through their hoops like a good peon

Nobody is worked up. It really makes no difference to me. A better question would be why make the topic if you didnt want to hear opinions?

viewmaster_pi posted...

it has nothing to do with reading any of it, it's weird to me how some of you seem to get it and others just can't

Dude I hate tedious work and Im all about fuck corporations but really THIS is the hill you die on?

Now when you submit applications and they ask have you been fired you either have to lie or say that you were fired because you didnt want to sign papers. You dont even know what the papers entailed so you dont even have that as a defense.

I just dont understand. If you didnt want the job then just quit.

viewmaster_pi posted...

that's cool. i thought i made it pretty clear they said to sign each individual paper and that there's no handbook

Who cares? Youre gonna get fired because youre too lazy to sign some papers?

Since you guys are fucking losers only talking about dating, I'm gonna bring up an entirely different point.

Job interviews.

The same people saying "just take the hint" probably shouldn't be agreeing to ghosting being a thing in job interviews, since a level of professionalism is expected. But it still happens. Doesn't matter if there were hundreds of applicants. A simple automated "you weren't selected" is all that's needed. Getting ghosted after weeks of interviewing sucks.

On the flip side, I've ghosted someone once after they canceled an interview on me one too many times. It felt good, but I was absolutely being an asshole doing so.

Calling people losers while crying about not getting a job. The irony.

If you havent listened to the album Loose then any Jack Harlow opinion is wrong. That is peak Harlow not this mainstream shit now.

Bombay Sapphire. If anything just because it has the coolest bottle.

Apple Pay is super clutch. If you use it when checking out online you dont have to put in any info. Its already logged with Apple so you just FaceID scan and thats it. Same if you use your watch or phone to pay in person at retail stores.

Also sometimes you just dont want to carry your wallet. Im kinda blown away how many people dont use this at all.

Gobstoppers12 posted...

I both accept that it's the way some people feel, and also advocate for a little human decency in the dating scene.

I don't get ghosted. I've been in a steady relationship for the past three years and have never tried to date somebody through a dating app/site. I'm not speaking on my own behalf. I'm speaking on behalf of the kind of people who experience serious mental/emotional consequences when it comes to being ghosted.

No goodbye, not even an "it was fun while it lasted, but I don't think we're compatible," just...nothing. Left alone, tossed in the trash, not even worth another glance. I recognize that it's not the fault of the "ghoster" if someone has emotional sensitivity...but one should assume that all people have feelings of some severity or another when it comes to dating and romance.

Isn't it just...better for everyone if we're honest about our feelings? A fair amount of internalized resentment and self-loathing could be prevented if people would stop ghosting each other.

You are right. It would be better but its just not like that. We didnt create this game. We didnt make the rules. We just inherited it.

If you think about the act of ghosting sure it is morally wrong. Youre leaving someone in the dark and thats not cool but in reality it happens ALL the time. Id bet everyone in this topic no matter which side has been ghosted at least once. I actually gave up on dating apps altogether years ago because I always got ghosted. It wasnt me it was just the nature of the modern dating scene.

Im not gonna say someones a bad person for doing it. Weve come to the conclusion as a society its just ok. It is what it is.

Tdil gig jobs are not jobs

Ok my main point in starting that whole discussion is to just change this narrative. Saul Goodman said she doesnt work for herself, she works for Uber my whole point isnt whether it is a job or not.

Job or not, she DOES work for herself. That is a clear distinction that needs to be made because gig workers are treated as pawns. These people do not work for Uber or Lyft or DoorDash or whatever it is. They work for themselves and I think that distinction would go a long way in people treating them with basic respect.

I really dont care if people say its a job or not.

It's exceedingly dramatic to call it a "guilt trip" when all you're being asked for is an honest statement.

Dude Im not saying youre wrong in saying its the wrong thing to do. Thats how it is though. You can either accept it or continue to be disappointed when people dont react in the way you see fit which you have no control over.

Thats my whole point. You cant control that so put energy into something you can control which is how you respond to them. Its not even worth being mad over.

Haha sure bud. You're unable to actually refute what I said (because I'm right) so now you're trying to enter a dick measuring contest instead. Well I don't wanna measure dicks.

I no longer have interest in this conversation. Good bye, and have a good night. See, that was easy!

Get some social skills bro.

Just keep making excuses so you never have to learn to act like an adult and talk to people

Yet I have a girlfriend and you probably dont.

You have to pick your battles. Social battery is a thing.

one time i made a topic on here about how i just gently shut the door on some missionaries without saying anything, and almost every single response was absolutely furious at me and insisting i was wrong to do so

i'm pretty sure CE is just baselessly contrarian in every situation with little to no consistency otherwise

Some folks here need a reality check.

Learn basic social interaction bro, don't make excuses for yourself

If you dont understand that people can refuse to engage at any time for any reason then youre the one lacking social skills.

Literally nobody cares about your feelings. Time to wake up.

Society evolves over time. Think of all the other things that society wasn't going to change its stance on in the past.

I dont think society is ever gonna think someone should be guilt tripped into communication.

Gobstoppers12 posted...

Given that the whole purpose of a dating app is to get to know someone and try to build a relationship with them...I feel like there's kind of a reasonable expectation of being told that there's no chance of it getting any further. Some people only talk to one person at a time, and will put off visiting the app/site until they're sure one didn't work out.

Why are you defending ghosting so much? It has a net negative impact. The only positive is one person avoids like five minutes of awkward text conversation. The negative is that the other person might end up spending days worrying or wondering what happened. It's a rude thing to do and it should be discouraged by society.

Because people need to realize that society isnt gonna walk on eggshells for them. If it hurts your feelings thats fine but society isnt gonna change its stance on this. Its already been decided.

People are rude everyday I dont see why this is the hill you want to die on.

Lmao easy money.

It is by definition not a job regardless of what people consider it.

Gobstoppers12 posted...

If you get swiped left, that's never initiating contact at all. If you've started a conversation, made plans, or even had a full date, ghosting with no warning or explanation is rude as fuck.

I dont think its a big deal. I think the real problem is people becoming too invested too soon because why are you even upset about that?

My current girlfriend and I were hooking up for the better part of a year. We had a few months where we didnt speak. Then one day we ran into each other again and picked up where we left off and have been together since.

You never know why and you never know if that person will come back into your life. To avoid that person feeling guilty, to avoid your own feelings of inadequacy and to avoid stress altogether I beg you to just let it go. It will work out.

Like why is the fact you had a conversation or date relevant? That doesnt mean you know someone.

Gobstoppers12 posted...

Not talking about me in particular. Talking about people in general, especially the kind of people who frequently get ghosted or rejected on dating sites. It's about being empathetic and being honest.

Everyone frequently gets rejected on dating sites. Thats the nature of a dating site. On tinder people literally swipe left and will never see you again. I dont see it as any different.

Its definitely not worth being upset over at least IMO.

NoxObscuras posted...

That scenario is an exception, not the norm. A majority of ghosters do it because they don't want to deal with how the other person will react. They don't owe the other person an explanation, but surely you can understand why it would bother people.

It's not immediately clear though. It's clear, only after some time has passed. When it goes from "maybe they're busy" to "nope... definitely ghosted"

I get why it bothers people but I dont understand why people are being so hostile about it.

Its not that serious. You never know why someone did and to be honest it doesnt matter. Just gotta move on,

Gobstoppers12 posted...

One sentence is the difference between clear communication and mysterious disappearance. It's really not asking that much. If you decide that somebody's mental wellbeing isn't worth one line of a text message, then maybe they're better off without you lol

Why is your mental wellbeing so dependent on someone you barely know?

That isnt anyone elses responsibility to carry.

Shes wrong based on the simple fact she brought this bullshit to his house where his kids stay.

As someone whos parents divorced due to infidelity, kids have no place around that. There are things I still remember to this day that I had no place knowing as a 7 year old kid. My parents were like this lady though, sloppy and immature.

When you do shit like that the kids are the ones that suffer for it.

Uber cant schedule you to drive. Literally nothing about Uber driving is similar to traditional employment. They arent employees.

Uber drivers dont work for Uber. They are contractors performing a service all Uber is does is provide the marketplace to facilitate the transaction. They use their own cars, pay their own insurance and taxes, use their own phone/GPS.

Lol. Ok. Sounds like you don't give a shit how the person on the other end feels. But you do you. Whatever helps you convince yourself you're not the asshole. If that last paragraph isn't "asshole energy" to you, we have different understandings of the word. I usually try to make sure people I interact with are comfortable and know what's going on. But again, you do you

Not even about that. Life happens. Like Ive said multiple times you have no idea why people ghost or what theyre going through.

My half brothers grandmother died last week. He hasnt really spoke to anyone since. Is he an asshole for ceasing communication? Does he owe people explanations? Fuck no.

Its ridiculously selfish to label someone an asshole just because you cant handle your own insecurity. Rejections happen. Let it go. Youre assuming everyone ghosts with bad intentions which is just 100% not true.
