Same and I’m from the southeast us.

And you learned something new and unexpected too. I doubt you’ll ever forget this lesson. 😊

No they don’t conflict; they’re symbiotic.

The “American dream” was dreamed up by rich capitalists to encourage poorer people to work harder, longer hours, and to do so with as little grumbling as possible. Couple it with the “rite of passage” mentality - i.e. working super shitty conditions because everyone else had to do the same - then it’s the perfect indoctrination needed to convince people that their hardships are their own failures and not the system’s.

Another, simpler, way to look at it is that the “American Dream” is a carrot on a very long stick that is dangled in front of us to encourage us to move forward with their capitalist agenda while making us think we’re getting a reward for our labor.

If it were me, I could not rise above and forgive. But that’s me, and how I feel has zero bearing on you and your boyfriend’s relationship. I also wish you both the very best and a long and happy relationship. 💙

It’s always never.

The enemy of my enemy or some shit.

Flirting is a means of communicating that a person likes another person. If no one flirted, then meeting people would be even more difficult than it already is.

It just feels like its only purpose is to be a magnet for narcissists.

I’ve seen a few dating profiles near me with women claiming to be in Mensa. I’m glad they mention it, as it’s a dog whistle for me to move on to another profile that will inevitably ignore me because I just don’t stack up.

~That’s meant to be funny.~

So 5 beers for 100% daily recs? 🍻

Beer is made from water. So drink more “water”. 😉

I have a dentist office near me that also offers Botox. There’s also a boulevard that has a billboard advertising it. My area is not exactly considered the most affluent of areas.

Body Dysmorphia is real, and will trick a person into seeing themselves very differently than everyone else. American Dad did an episode on this once. Feel free to skip to the 4’00” mark.

Sometimes the best response is no response at all. Silence can be deafening.

You are allowed, and sometimes encouraged, to not say anything.

Found the billionaire CEO!

If it were 25-30 years ago, when there was a risk of physically damaging (i.e. blowing up) hardware, and I’d agree with you. But in this case, the worst is to have to reconfigure things back to their defaults.

As for retroarch, what would be your suggested alternative?

I’ll be the first to admit I have no idea how any of what I posted works, but I do know it works. Maybe the tv game mode didn’t do anything for my Bluetooth, and maybe the other settings I changed did. All I do know is my gaming experience is so much more responsive now. And if any of this helps other people, then all the more better. 🤷‍♂️

It has been amazing. I’ve been playing Faxanadu all day, and before I found out the game mode on my TV, it was hit or miss if I could make the jumps. Now I feel like id never have gotten so far in the game because of the tricky jumps. And all with an 8bitdo Bluetooth controller (sn30).
