My brother became a monster, but I can’t tell that to his fan club.
2024.06.09 10:16 Klutzy_Time1198 My brother became a monster, but I can’t tell that to his fan club.
Not too long ago, my brother committed suicide. He was dealing with severe combat PTSD and other psychological issues my family hasn’t discussed publicly, and the way he staged his apartment tells me that he wanted to hurt my family as much as he could on the way out. He had cameras set up in his living room that showed us his final moments. It was awful.
Everyone who knew the “new” version of him went on about how he was so wonderful and amazing, and his evil family were to blame for his suicide. We tried to help him for years. After several intense situations, he was labeled a threat to the community in court. We had to call in numerous welfare checks over the years because he would cut us off, block us, then randomly unblock us to send weird messages like “goodbye forever.” He learned pretty quickly how to manipulate his way out of a psych hold. He would stalk us, make threats, and I suspect he also was the reason my car got vandalized, but I can’t prove it. My family tried to just let it go, because we knew that if we reported it, he would likely end up in jail, and we didn’t want that. We just wanted him to stop and take care of himself.
I cut him off finally when he showed up to my grandma’s funeral and put a cigarette out on her grave. The way he could so easily be so disrespectful to a woman who loved him unconditionally told me that he was just totally gone. I told him that I loved him, but he needed to stay away from me until he got some help. I couldn’t keep living in fear of the next awful thing he would do and see the joy it brought him to make us so upset.
I found out after he died that he had a journal. He had written extremely detailed fantasies about how he wanted to torture me, kill me… it was extremely graphic. But I can’t talk about this publicly, because I’d be trashing the “new” friend group’s idol and never get any rest from internet trolls. It took a long time the first time for them to find something better to do. There aren’t many, but the ones that do exist… you would think they do nothing else.
I’m also torn because I loved my brother. He totally changed in the last years of his life. I asked him point-blank so many times what I did wrong to make him so angry towards me, and how I could help to fix our broken relationship, but he never would tell me what I did. I think he was just angry at the world and I was a soft target. But I still always wonder. I just wish I had done more to get through to him. I felt so helpless in the last years of his life and I feel like I tried everything, but I wish I tried more.

2024.06.09 09:47 Kai_be_so Update on my new Pico 4
So yeah few days ago I ordered Pico 4. It arrived yesterday and I had some time to try it. My concerns were connectivity and the Pico connect.
To the Pico connect. I tried Boneworks and Blade and Sorcery with PCVR. The latency wasn't bad at all. I was averaging 15-18MS, less than I expected since I don't have the best internet for now. Had some problems with SteamVR because steam didn't understand that I have Pico 4 and not Valve Index (used to have one). But figured it out. (PLEASE UPDAZE THE VR TO THE LATEST FIRMWARE MAKES HUGE DIFFERENCE)
Build quality: Headset itself has good build quality and is really light, I was surprised by that. Faceplate, definitely recommend better one like AMVR because I was getting light from the nose and not the sides like lot of ppl say but hey every face is different. (I used the silicon nose thing but it didn't help.) Also Ventilation for it, it's really humid right now and idk I guess my eyeballs were sweating and I was getting foggy lenses. I will probably get better head strap, the included one is good but personally I don't like it.
Controllers: Build quality is alright I would say (I am comparing it to the valve index controllers, bad comparison because big price difference). They feel good in hands and are light. They were responsive and stuff lmao.
Picture quality: Lenses are good, it's really a big difference having pancakes lenses. Imagine was less blurry than on Valve Index ( maybe i was dumb and couldn't set it up properly ) but for me the image looks better on Pico 4.
Still need to do some testing but I am surprised by Pico 4. Especially if you get it on sale and you want to buy VR headset. It's really good for beginners and occasional gaming like myself
And if someone is wondering why I don't use my valve index. I sold it, didn't have much time back than and I was getting nauseous but it wasn't because of playing VR itself but because of the smell. Index had this new electronic factory smell and it was making me sick every time and I couldn't get rid of it.
This isn't the most detail review or anything just some points I like on it and wanted to address few things I was concerned about before buying.

2024.06.09 09:30 AutumnFanatic 22 [M4F] Illinois/Anywhere/Online - Hi! Nerdy guy who loves autumn looking for a genuine intimate connection
I have a fear of speedbumps, but I'm slowly getting over it..
Hi and welcome to my post! Wanted to start off with a funny to me dad joke.
Nice to meet you, I'm Dylan!
I love autumn way too much and I can't wait for it! It makes me so excited. We had a much cooler day here for once and it felt like October so I was burning a lot of candles.
To put it simple, I am a single 22 year old man who has been pretty lonely in life and lacking human connection. And part of what comes with that is the desire to be intimate with a person. I am very mature for my age and will always be respectful of your boundaries and feelings, especially with anything sexual. Lately all I have is myself when it comes to sexual desires, so I would like to have someone to keep company with in that regard too.
I'm just relaxing on my days off this weekend and burning a woodwick candle. I love candles! 🕯️ Sometimes a campfire outside on a fall night or a crackling WoodWick candle is a relaxing constant among our busy and hectic world. It's nice to just disconnect, feel grounded and happy in your own little cozy space. Feeling calm and collected and at peace. Something that fewer people take the time to do these days.
I am seeking a woman around my age or older to build a close connection with that could possibly lead to a something intimate which includes the possibility of teasing/sharing pics etc. but only when we were comfortable. Figured I would be open in my Intentions as that's the best way to be.
You:
Kind, respectful, and easy going.
Comfortable with the idea of eventually sharing intimate things together.
Willing to eventually move off of Reddit.
Want something genuine and fun!
Are honest in your intentions and a good person to be around!
That's about it, we will get along great I know it.
I've been feeling a little bummed out lately. I always try and stay happy and see the best in things. But.. I've just been so alone. Most of my whole childhood and adult years have been spent feeling lonely. I grew up surrounded by cornfields which was peaceful but also has a lonely aspect to it. My family never really were close and never did anything as a family really. And part of it too is the fact that I never had any neighbors my age to interact with. But aside from that, my adult life has been very lonely. I'm just always by myself. I barely have any meaningful adult relationships or experiences, or even any friends.
I work a 3-11 job in building maintenance at my company world headquarters building which I love, but again it's very lonely. I work the off shift so the building is always empty. I don't get normal social interaction with people my age or a chance to build relationships. I only have 3 older men as co-workers and we are mostly in the basement away from any people on the floors from knowing our existence. I always walk the floors and see office people laughing and chatting with their coworkers and I just don't have that kind of experience. And just.. no one knows I exist really. Everyone probably assumes I have a lot of friends, but I'm struggling inside with being so alone and trying to meet people and get past the "hi how are you?" "I'm good thanks" stage. Most people don't seem to want to talk beyond that. And most women are already in relationships and thus it would seem weird to approach them in an office setting trying to get to know them deeper. But man those "hi how are yous" are the only real interactions I get during my day.. so thus I decided to come here lol. Rant over, sorry! I promise I'm not a downer. 😅
Now for some things about me!
As you can tell, I am very mature for my age and am polite and have good grammar which unfortunately not everyone my age does anymore lol. I am not active at all on social media/internet culture really and don't know much about all the slang the younger people these days use. I feel like I'm 50. 🤣
I am left handed which is pretty cool. I'm not much of a party person or a drinker, I much prefer a quiet night at home and maybe a beer or two on a weekend but that's about it. I am simple and stay out of drama and trouble and don't get much into politics or other things that cause drama with people. I much prefer a relaxing campfire and a night at home and to just let the world keep on turning haha. I consider myself pretty intelligent and mature, especially for my age which is why I'm open to older ladies.
Physically I'm 180 pounds, have brown hair, green eyes, and a typical build.
Some of my hobbies are:
• Photography
I have a Nikon D200 and D5500 that I love to shoot with. I love nature scenes, abstract, black and white/goth kinda photography, sunsets, etc. it's so fun to just let your mind explore. It's not about what camera you have, but those who are behind the camera!
• Cooking and baking
I loveeee to cook and bake! I enjoy making various meals but also love to just have a frozen pizza once in awhile or something like that. I recently made homemade chili which turned out great. I love to bake, especially in the fall! I love pies, cakes, pastries, cookies, etc. I restored a vintage KitchenAid mixer that needed tbe gearbox rebuilt. Eventually I would love to practice home canning my own food.
• Music
Oh my gosh, I like so much!! Alternative rock, punk, post punk, electronic, synth pop, psychedelic rock, hard rock, etc. I am very non judgemental and open when it comes to music. My three current favorite bands are Type O Negative, Joy Division, and the Cure.
• Nature walks and camping
I really enjoy camping, making fires, and relaxing by a campfire. I love to take walks outside and just enjoy the beauty and simplicity of nature. It's wonderful, especially in a world so focused on everything digital.
• Repairing things
I'm a maintenance guy and one of my hobbies is electronics repair so I am good with my hands and just all around good at troubleshooting and fixing all sorts of things around the house. Last week I helped my elderly neighbor get his tractor started, it needed a new component in the starting circuit. So I'm pretty handy which... Comes in handy! 😂
• Autumn 🍁
This isn't a hobby per say, but man do I love the fall!!! It's my absolute favorite time of the year. Oh my gosh. The beautiful colors, crisp cool air, misty and foggy days, rain, lack of bugs, being cuddled up with a candle or by the fire drinking a tea, etc. I love it! There's only two seasons for me. Fall, and waiting for fall! Haha.
• Scented Candles and incense
Going along with my love for fall, I absolutely love candles! I have like 30 something lol. 😂 Currently my favorite are WoodWick, which are owned by Yankee candle. They have such a soothing crackle and the scents are great! I also love to burn incense from time to time as well. I have cottagecore hippie vibes.
• Old houses and architecture
I love old houses! Especially 1900s and Victorian era homes. Old homes have so much character to them and are just so beautiful from a time when people took pride in their craft. I strongly dislike the modern cookie cutter cheap construction of homes today. I would love to live in an old home one day. I also love their architecture and uniqueness, as well as architecture of old cathedrals and other buildings.
• Relaxing
Basic I know, but sometimes on the weekend I just love to get cozy in bed and relax and put on a YouTube video or an album! 😊
That's about it for me, I'm a pretty laid back and simple person. My ideal person is someone who is respectful and honest! I am very straightforward and open minded and would hope that you are as well.
If I seem interesting to you at all I would love to hear from you!
Thank you so much for reading.

2024.06.09 09:08 AutumnFanatic [22/M4F] #Online - Hi! Nerdy guy who loves autumn looking for a fellow autumn loving person to form a genuine and fun intimate connection with! 🍂☺️
I have a fear of speedbumps, but I'm slowly getting over it..
Hi and welcome to my post! Wanted to start off with a funny to me dad joke.
Nice to meet you, I'm Dylan! I'm a 22 year old who has lived in Illinois my whole life. As you can totally tell, I absolutely love autumn and everything about it!! I was born in October. It's my favorite month, and there's just something so magical about the fall colors, the cool crisp air, and those dreary and rainy and foggy days and nights. I love it so much and absolutely despise summer and humidity. 😂🍂🍁
I'm just relaxing on my days off this weekend and burning a few candles tonight as we've gotten an usually cool night which totally reminds me of autumn! I love candles! 🕯️ Sometimes a campfire outside on a fall night or a crackling WoodWick candle is a relaxing constant among our busy and hectic world. It's nice to just disconnect, feel grounded and happy in your own little cozy space. Feeling calm and collected and at peace. Something that fewer people take the time to do these days.
I am seeking a female interested in building a close connection with me that could possibly lead to something intimate and sexual but only when we were comfortable.

But man those "hi how are yous" are the only real interactions I get during my day.. so thus I decided to come here lol. Rant over, sorry! I promise I'm not a downer. 😅
Now for some things about me!
As you can tell, I am very mature for my age and am polite and have good grammar which unfortunately not everyone my age does anymore lol. I am not active at all on social media/internet culture really and don't know much about all the slang the younger people these days use. I feel like I'm 50. 🤣
I am left handed which is pretty cool. I'm not much of a party person or a drinker, I much prefer a quiet night at home and maybe a beer or two on a weekend but that's about it. I am simple and stay out of drama and trouble and don't get much into politics or other things that cause drama with people. I much prefer a relaxing campfire and a night at home and to just let the world keep on turning haha. I consider myself pretty intelligent and mature.
Sexually, I am very open minded and non judgemental. Even if you're having your period I don't mind messing around because I am totally comfortable with that. Some guys get really freaked a out about that and blood etc. and I don't get it because it's a natural part of being a woman and something that should be respected and understood and not something to be grossed out by. I know some women tend to get more horny on their period and thats when most guys don't want anything to do with them, but I'm different!
Physically I'm 180 pounds, have brown hair, green eyes, and a typical build.
Some of my hobbies are:
• Photography
I have a Nikon D200 and D5500 that I love to shoot with. I love nature scenes, abstract, black and white/goth kinda photography, sunsets, etc. it's so fun to just let your mind explore. It's not about what camera you have, but those who are behind the camera!
• Cooking and baking
I loveeee to cook and bake! I enjoy making various meals but also love to just have a frozen pizza once in awhile or something like that. I recently made homemade chili which turned out great. I love to bake, especially in the fall! I love pies, cakes, pastries, cookies, etc. I restored a vintage KitchenAid mixer that needed tbe gearbox rebuilt. Eventually I would love to practice home canning my own food.
• Music
Oh my gosh, I like so much!! Alternative rock, punk, post punk, electronic, synth pop, psychedelic rock, hard rock, etc. I am very non judgemental and open when it comes to music. My three current favorite bands are Type O Negative, Joy Division, and the Cure.
• Nature walks and camping
I really enjoy camping, making fires, and relaxing by a campfire. I love to take walks outside and just enjoy the beauty and simplicity of nature. It's wonderful, especially in a world so focused on everything digital.
• Repairing things
I'm a maintenance guy and one of my hobbies is electronics repair so I am good with my hands and just all around good at troubleshooting and fixing all sorts of things around the house. Last week I helped my elderly neighbor get his tractor started, it needed a new component in the starting circuit. So I'm pretty handy which... Comes in handy! 😂
• Autumn 🍁
This isn't a hobby per say, but man do I love the fall!!! It's my absolute favorite time of the year. Oh my gosh. The beautiful colors, crisp cool air, misty and foggy days, rain, lack of bugs, being cuddled up with a candle or by the fire drinking a tea, etc. I love it! There's only two seasons for me. Fall, and waiting for fall! Haha.
• Scented Candles and incense
Going along with my love for fall, I absolutely love candles! I have like 30 something lol. 😂 Currently my favorite are WoodWick, which are owned by Yankee candle. They have such a soothing crackle and the scents are great! I also love to burn incense from time to time as well. I have cottagecore hippie vibes.
• Old houses and architecture
I love old houses! Especially 1900s and Victorian era homes. Old homes have so much character to them and are just so beautiful from a time when people took pride in their craft. I strongly dislike the modern cookie cutter cheap construction of homes today. I would love to live in an old home one day. I also love their architecture and uniqueness, as well as architecture of old cathedrals and other buildings.
• Relaxing
Basic I know, but sometimes on the weekend I just love to get cozy in bed and relax and put on a YouTube video or an album! 😊
That's about it for me, I'm a pretty laid back and simple person. My ideal person is someone who is respectful and honest! I am very straightforward and open minded and would hope that you are as well.
If I seem interesting to you at all I would love to hear from you!
Thank you so much for reading.

Hi and welcome to my post! Wanted to start off with a funny to me dad joke.
Nice to meet you, I'm Dylan! I'm a 22 year old who has lived in Illinois my whole life. As you can totally tell, I absolutely love autumn and everything about it!! I was born in October. It's my favorite month, and there's just something so magical about the fall colors, the cool crisp air, and those dreary and rainy and foggy days and nights. I love it so much and absolutely despise summer and humidity. 😂🍂🍁
I'm just relaxing on my days off this weekend and burning a few candles tonight as we've gotten an usually cool night which totally reminds me of autumn! I love candles! 🕯️ Sometimes a campfire outside on a fall night or a crackling WoodWick candle is a relaxing constant among our busy and hectic world. It's nice to just disconnect, feel grounded and happy in your own little cozy space. Feeling calm and collected and at peace. Something that fewer people take the time to do these days.
I am seeking a female interested in building a close connection with me that could possibly lead to something intimate and sexual but only when we were comfortable.
You:
Kind, respectful, and easy going.
Comfortable with the idea of eventually sharing intimate things together.
Willing to eventually move off of Reddit.
Want something genuine and fun!
Are honest in your intentions and a good person to be around!
That's about it, we will get along great I know it.
I've been feeling a little bummed out lately. I always try and stay happy and see the best in things. But.. I've just been so alone. Most of my whole childhood and adult years have been spent feeling lonely. I grew up surrounded by cornfields which was peaceful but also has a lonely aspect to it. My family never really were close and never did anything as a family really. And part of it too is the fact that I never had any neighbors my age to interact with. But aside from that, my adult life has been very lonely. I'm just always by myself. I barely have any meaningful adult relationships or experiences, or even any friends.
I work a 3-11 job in building maintenance at my company world headquarters building which I love, but again it's very lonely. I work the off shift so the building is always empty. I don't get normal social interaction with people my age or a chance to build relationships. I only have 3 older men as co-workers and we are mostly in the basement away from any people on the floors from knowing our existence. I always walk the floors and see office people laughing and chatting with their coworkers and I just don't have that kind of experience. And just.. no one knows I exist really. Everyone probably assumes I have a lot of friends, but I'm struggling inside with being so alone and trying to meet people and get past the "hi how are you?" "I'm good thanks" stage. Most people don't seem to want to talk beyond that. And most women are already in relationships and thus it would seem weird to approach them in an office setting trying to get to know them deeper.

2024.06.09 08:55 Upbeat-Serve-6096 Anbernic RG35XX Plus vs Miyoo Mini Plus: My take, half a year after purchase
 | Bought these handhelds roughly around the same month, the RG35XX Plus being bought near its product launch. submitted by Upbeat-Serve-6096 to SBCGaming [link] [comments] Beige: RG35XX Plus; Black: Miyoo Mini Plus https://preview.redd.it/teffyclhsh5d1.jpg?width=3968&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4073fa4bb03dc3bef50de10813450535be258f65 The Anbernic's D-pad looks especially worn out. I'll elaborate in the text. https://preview.redd.it/7hnxn0aish5d1.jpg?width=2976&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=11ebac4e1592698d4dcc8d4e2124555a4f3e30c1 Basically the only purpose for buying both was to be part of "The Community™", to see how much polish these handhelds could have over time, both in stock firmware updates or in community distros. Also I think having one of these for casual retro gaming is a pretty good way to not be bombarded by the constant internet interaction - well I sure failed this part. TL;DR: In my particular use case, the Anbernic wins, though it is a close call.
What features I ended up using/liking a lot, and what plans I have for these handhelds going forward

2024.06.09 07:47 Sashcracker Ukrainian government bans World Socialist Web Site
By Eric London
On Monday, June 3, the Ukrainian government banned the World Socialist Web Site across the country, issuing an order commanding all internet service providers to block access to the WSWS indefinitely.
The order was issued by the Ukrainian State Special Communications Service (SSSCIP), a wing of the country’s military-intelligence apparatus. It instructs “providers of electronic communication networks and/or services to implement access restriction (block access) on own recursive DNS servers to domain name (as well as its subdomains) wsws.org.”
The order has no end date and will last “until the termination or abolition of martial law in Ukraine.” The SSSCIP claims the ban is justified under President Volodymyr Zelensky’s February 24, 2022 declaration of martial law, which suspended democratic rights across the country.
The order banning access to the World Socialist Web Site exposes as lies all claims that the US-led war in Ukraine is being waged in the name of “democracy.” Yesterday, US President Joe Biden spoke at a commemoration of D-Day in Normandy and presented the war as “a struggle between dictatorship and freedom.” The reality is Ukraine is a dictatorship where the government is politically dependent on fascists who idolize the Holocaust. The government brutally persecutes opponents of its war and blatantly suppresses free speech.
The decision to ban the WSWS is a response to the outpouring of support within Ukraine and internationally for Bogdan Syrotiuk, a 25-year-old socialist internationalist who was arrested by the Zelensky regime on April 25 on trumped up charges of “high treason” for writing articles for the WSWS, which SBU prosecutors (Ukraine’s domestic intelligence agency) deceitfully claim is “Russian propaganda.” Syrotiuk and the organization to which he belongs, the Young Guard of Bolshevik-Leninists (YGBL), are Trotskyists and irreconcilable opponents of the US-NATO war against Russia as well as the capitalist government of Vladimir Putin.
There is compelling evidence that the Ukrainian government’s decision to ban the WSWS was made in consultation with the Biden administration.
The Ukrainian State Special Communications Service—the institution from which the order to ban the WSWS derived—is a long-term partner of the United States government. In July 2022, the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA, a component of the Department of Homeland Security) signed an agreement with SSSCIP “to strengthen collaboration on shared cybersecurity priorities,” which “expands upon CISA’s existing relationship with the government of Ukraine.”
CISA Director Jen Easterly said the agreement “allowed us to really focus on how do we effectively share information, best practices, exercise together, train together, figure out how to hunt for adversary activity.”
In documents outlining the bogus charges against Syrotiuk, the Ukrainian government references an “investigation” of the WSWS conducted by the Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD), a wing of the Security and Defense Council of Ukraine. According to the prosecuting documents, the CCD conducted an “analysis of publications posted on the wsws.org resource … according to which the essence of the damage caused by [Syrotiuk] to the information security of Ukraine was established.”
There is not a shred of evidence to support the claim that Syrotiuk or the WSWS are supporters of the Russian government. On the contrary, the prosecuting documents rely entirely on articles by Syrotiuk and the WSWS denouncing the US-NATO war, exposing the role of fascists in the Ukrainian government, warning of the danger of nuclear escalation and calling for the unity of the Russian and Ukrainian working class against both governments. Included among the “evidence” cited by the Ukrainian authorities as proof of Syrotiuk’s guilt is literature found in his apartment authored by Vladimir Lenin, Leon Trotsky and WSWS International Editorial Board Chairperson David North.
The Center for Countering Disinformation also has the closest ties to American and British imperialism. According to an October 2022 article by Global Risk Insights:
This research was conducted from “March to May 2024,” the period including Syrotiuk’s arrest and immediately leading up to the decision to ban the WSWS. This period has seen a substantial growth of opposition to the war against Russia within Ukraine, which authorities fear is coinciding with a growth in the readership of the WSWS and growing awareness of and opposition to the prosecution of Syrotiuk.
In an April 30 statement issued following Syrotiuk’s arrest, WSWS International Editorial Board Chairman David North explained:
The WSWS urges all readers to sign and circulate the petition demanding Syrotiuk’s liberation (at wsws.org/freebogdan), to contact the WSWS and become active in the campaign to oppose the widening assault on freedom of speech, and to issue statements condemning the prosecution and the decision to ban the WSWS.

The Center for Countering Disinformation also has the closest ties to American and British imperialism. According to an October 2022 article by Global Risk Insights:
Notably, the Pentagon’s Central Command issued a report earlier this year referring to upcoming efforts by the US Agency for Global Media to conduct “market research and national surveys” and determine the power of “disinformation” in Ukraine and internationally. According to the Pentagon, “the projects’ research methods include focus groups, media monitoring panels, and national surveys” to “examine the impact” of anti-war sentiments in Ukraine, which they label as the product of “disinformation.”
This research was conducted from “March to May 2024,” the period including Syrotiuk’s arrest and immediately leading up to the decision to ban the WSWS. This period has seen a substantial growth of opposition to the war against Russia within Ukraine, which authorities fear is coinciding with a growth in the readership of the WSWS and growing awareness of and opposition to the prosecution of Syrotiuk.
In an April 30 statement issued following Syrotiuk’s arrest, WSWS International Editorial Board Chairman David North explained:
Efforts by the Ukrainian government to portray Syrotiuk and the WSWS as pro-Putin “are politically preposterous,” North wrote.
The campaign to free Syrotiuk has garnered widespread international attention, and the International Committee has established a defense committee to coordinate the global campaign demanding his freedom. A video published on TwitteX by North has been viewed well over 150,000 times, and thousands of people from across the world have signed the petition demanding Syrotiuk’s release. Prominent artists, political groups, journalists and public figures have called on the Ukrainian government to liberate Syrotiuk and drop all charges against him.
The WSWS urges all readers to sign and circulate the petition demanding Syrotiuk’s liberation (at wsws.org/freebogdan), to contact the WSWS and become active in the campaign to oppose the widening assault on freedom of speech, and to issue statements condemning the prosecution and the decision to ban the WSWS.
2024.06.09 07:34 Rare_Midnight_2219 My heart is soaking up all the hate in the world and it's driving me crazy
Like I can barely go on the internet anymore without getting flooded with just and endless sea of pain, self-destructing behavior, races divided, genders divided MY GOD I love all the good boys and girls in my life euqally and unconditonally why can't anyone else seem to do the same!!!
They say that the internet is void of negativity and hate and maybe that's true. So what about the real world? Well from what I can tell at least where I am no one wants to be in the real world anymore! Everyone's on their phones, always. Cannot survive without headphones or some other electronic and just be in the moment. Why do you have to recored the entire f'ing concert on your phone for social media. Can't you be in the moment, with me!?
The boys at my school harassed and objectified the girls and the girls called boys unilaterally rapists. People constantly fighted, cheated, ruined their own health, I felt so much pain watching people with initially good souls have their hearts tainted knowing i couldn't do anything about it without sacraficing my own mental health.
Outside in the city I see people of different races being more divided than ever. It's like in our pursuit of inclusivity, we have become more divided. Everything is divided. It's about the color of your skin, your gender, your "L's" and "icks".
I can't take it anymore. I feel like I don't belong. I'm going to an on-paper prestigious university soon where I fear I will soak in the worst of pure uncontrolled hate from my peers ans professors, not the like-minded, loving people i worked so hard to get to meet rather than those in my school.
I know this is somewhat unhinged and unorganized rant but if anyone else expierinces this, I would love to hear from you and thank you for reading.

They say that the internet is void of negativity and hate and maybe that's true. So what about the real world? Well from what I can tell at least where I am no one wants to be in the real world anymore! Everyone's on their phones, always. Cannot survive without headphones or some other electronic and just be in the moment. Why do you have to recored the entire f'ing concert on your phone for social media. Can't you be in the moment, with me!?
The boys at my school harassed and objectified the girls and the girls called boys unilaterally rapists. People constantly fighted, cheated, ruined their own health, I felt so much pain watching people with initially good souls have their hearts tainted knowing i couldn't do anything about it without sacraficing my own mental health.
Outside in the city I see people of different races being more divided than ever. It's like in our pursuit of inclusivity, we have become more divided. Everything is divided. It's about the color of your skin, your gender, your "L's" and "icks".

2024.06.09 06:50 DirectorFair7637 How is this question not just an opinion? I thought that E was a more valid compromise but the explanation says "this would anger internet users more than researchers". I think internet users would rather not pay a small fee everytime they want to reproduce copyrighted content.

2024.06.09 06:47 papa_razz [TOMT] [SONG] "nostalgic" song popular on tiktok?
im looking for a song that was popular-ish on tiktok last year that was commonly used by scene kids, or with nostalgic pictures to describe the mid-late gen z early internet childhood. iirc it had a very similar vibe to kids by mgmt but a bit slower and more forwardly electronic.

2024.06.09 06:14 RecitedPlay Are the Go's on the way out? Personal Adivce requested.
(I read the rules! I really couldn't find the stickied thread about 'purchase advice'.)
Hello all, thank you for your patience. I may be looking to buy a new personal computer in the next year or so. I operate exclusively on a Surface Go 2, and have been using it for over 5 years. For added information regarding the availability of products or costs, I am presently living in Japan.
On the Microsoft website and during a brief tour of an electronics shop yesterday, it doesn't seem like the Surface Go's are being prioritized in any kind of marketing, so I'm wondering if they're on the way out? I love its small size, and while I'm sure I would appreciate the larger screen of the Pro (I think) or the rigid angle I could open a laptop without a kickstand, I'm a little hesitant to change it up.
I primarily use the Surface Go 2 (and I have no other laptop or Desktop) for the following: millennial internet surfing, VLC, light video gaming, and word processing. If I had something with more oomph, I would also utilize a VPN, torrents, and play more taxing games.
So I guess my key queries are:

So I guess my key queries are:
- Is it worth getting the most up-to-date Go model (4?) even if it may be the last in the series?
- What do you recommend switching to, if I decide to switch?
- I've replaced the Go keyboard a few times throughout its life, are the laptop keyboards more durable?
- Are they all touch screens, even the laptops? I value the touch screen.

2024.06.09 02:40 GenericRedditName4U 26 [M4F] NW Ohio - Is there anyone out there for me?
I simply don't know where to start with this.
I am a 26 year old white male from NW Ohio. I have never been in a relationship and I really do not know how it works. But the urge remains in me to find one. If I could stomp that feeling out of me, I probably would but I don't think that's possible.
I struggle with undiagnosed mental issues and since they're undiagnosed I simply don't know what or how much I have. I most certainly suffer from an anxiety disorder and there's a good chance I may suffer from bipolar 2 (not too, but the secondary version that involves depressive episodes and not manic episodes) or some type of depression. There's a decent chance that I have Autism and/or Asperger's. Who knows, maybe I don't have anything wrong with me (fat chance) but I feel like it should be a fair warning for anyone.
I am sadly technically a NEET. I am not in education, employed, or in training (which is what NEET means.) Due to this, I don't have a drivers license or a car. If you want meet up, you'll have to travel to somewhere I would be able to walk to.
I am a very reserved person. Like, I am an open book if I know and trust you enough, but I don't like airing my stuff out there. This whole thing is quite vulnerable to me. I would not be shocked if I back down from this very quickly. This is posted on a throwaway account too. I will eventually talk to you on my normal accounts when I feel comfortable.
I'm not ready for kids, nor do I know if I ever will be. (Please be child-free.)
My self-esteem is so low that it might as well not exist. I view myself as ugly and I do have a lot of qualities that would be deemed as ugly.
I have...
I guess now that I have gotten all of the bad out of the way, perhaps I should actually talk about myself in a more positive light.
While I won't provide a photo of myself til I feel comfortable or feel like I can genuinely trust whom I am talking to, I can describe myself. Obviously, above is also applicable.
I am...
My interests are...
I have a large collection of video games, retro hardware, and have a selection of Anime on VHS and LD. Of course, I also have Anime on Blu-Ray and DVD when I want the best quality you can get but there's just a vibe with analog Anime pressings being watched on a CRT.
The type of music I listen to is mostly Metal and Alt Rock, with a little bit of a dabble in 90's East Coast Hip-Hop and Techno/Electronic. When I say Metal, I don't mean like hardcore screamo where the vocals sound like a blender, but like math rock and post-hardcore.
I enjoy going to flea markets, garage sales, and thrift stores. It is the places to get and find cool stuff for cheap.
I am not religious, at all. Would identify myself as an Atheist. I have no issue with religion beyond people using it as a vehicle to cause issue.
I smoke and use marijuana, but I don't drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes.
I politically lean left, but I am not really politically correct. I also don't let politics run or control my life.
But, don't let that get in the way of shooting your shot. Low self-esteem is truly an awful thing. You may be entirely my type but you wouldn't think anyone wants you because of your self-esteem. Let the eye of the beholder be the judge. Please provide a photo when contacting me. I know, it is a bit selfish to ask to receive but not give one. I think it is better this way, as I don't want to hurt you by accidentally leading you on. When you take the photo, please have something identifiable in the photo that makes it be verifiable as authentic. Catfishers pound sand!
I would prefer you to be in NW Ohio or general Ohio, so we can hang out easily. You will have to travel to me though, as stated I have no means of travel outside of walking. But I am possibly open to LDR, but I wouldn't have confidence in the relationship from anxiety and having trust issues.
I don't really mind height, would prefer for you not to be taller than me, but not entirely out of the question. Would prefer you not to be heavy set, but I'm not looking for skeleton skinny. You could look somewhat plain or even look like an e-girl, or somewhere in-between.
I would like you to have similar interests to me, doesn't have to be 1 to 1 to my interests though. I find the odds of finding someone else into computers to my extent very low. I at least want to find someone who will tolerate it and find someone whom I can tolerate their interest like they would to me. I want to be able to have long conversations about stuff we both are interested in and be able to listen to each other and support each others other interests.
Do I care if you have Autism? Not at this time.
Do I care if you have mental issues? Really depends, but mostly no. Just don't be super high maintenance or in a state where you could cause my anxiety go crazy.
I would prefer you to be non-religious and be open to marijuana. I don't mind if you drink, as long as it isn't a problem. No current cigarette smokers though.
Perhaps we can go to Anime Conventions together? Bonus points if you cosplay.
Go thrifting with me?
No sex workers please! Past, Present, or Future. It is not for me, I wouldn't want my privates out there nor would I want a partner who has their privates out there. I have no issue with you as a person, it is just not for me, sorry. On top of that, please be monogamous too.
If you think you can handle this mess of a human, then reach out to me. Tell me about yourself! I want to hear your interests, your favorite things, and so on!

I have...
- Glasses.
- Bags under eyes, always.
- An under bite.

- A flat face on the profile view of the face.
- Can't grow facial hair correctly.
- Overweight at 235 LBs (like what everyone says, I am working on it... Honest!)
I guess now that I have gotten all of the bad out of the way, perhaps I should actually talk about myself in a more positive light.
While I won't provide a photo of myself til I feel comfortable or feel like I can genuinely trust whom I am talking to, I can describe myself. Obviously, above is also applicable.
I am...
- Somewhere in between 5'8 and 5'9. I describe myself as 5'9.
- Brown Hair and Green Eyes. Though, is constantly in heated debate. Some people think I have Blonde Hair and/or Blue Eyes.
- I try to wear my hair medium to long.
- Typically in a graphic T-Shirt and always wearing jeans. No matter how hot or cold it is. If it is cold, I put a hoodie on. If its hot, I will suffer through it.
- I used to wear red Converse High-Tops all of the time. But I do now switch between them and boots, as Converse aren't great for walking.
My interests are...
- Video Games
- Personal Computers
- Anime

2024.06.09 01:31 MinAxolot Please help, WiFi disfunction
Hi ! So I got a new WiFi box installed and ever since then, my Switch (basic one, "first generation") won't connect to it even if I enter the right password and all, even if the router isnt too far or too close...It indicates that it succeed to connect to the WiFi but not Internet... And it does the exact same thing with another WiFi box, from a different operator. Both WiFi boxes are "new generation" boxes, with like 5g fast network, and I know that some electronic devices that aren't from the last couple of years aren't able to connect to those new WiFi boxes (planned obsolescence yk yk). Does anyone know if it's the case for "old" Nintendo Switch, in which case I'll be obligated to buy a more recent one ?

2024.06.09 01:24 sonic4321 Fact-checking HT pro's recommendations for my new home theater. Am I being upsold?
I own a madVR Envy Extreme MK2 and a Denon x6800h. I got the Denon as an early housewarming gift a few months back. I was extremely fortunate (edit: no pun intended lol) to get the madVR from the contractor renovating my home at a substantial discount.
From there, I decided to build a home theater around these two fine pieces of equipment. I know little about home theater audio and video, so I hired a home theater pro to provide recommendations and install/calibrate the entire home theater.
Universal Remote, two options:
I'm unfamiliar with both of these systems and curious if anyone has advice for someone who's pretty deep down the Alexa rabbit hole. I don't mind pivoting to a different smart home system. I have Nest thermostats throughout the entire house that are Google Home-based. The lack of cohesive support across these systems drives me crazy. Most importantly, I want to avoid introducing a third smart home interface that doesn't talk to the other two.
Projector recommendation, two options:
I don't see the justification for the Barco at all. Not only is it my entire budget, but more importantly, my concern was offsetting any brightness loss from the madVR. Is the Sony the best projector in this price range to ensure I can compensate for the madVR's brightness reduction?
The LS12000's advertised lumens are higher than the Sony's, but it's unclear which one is brighter in practice. For anyone with experience with the madVR EE MK2, I'm also wondering if I'm needlessly worried about the brightness factor. Maybe I'm hedging against a less pronounced problem than I realize.
Projector screen recommendation:
I'm also wondering why he's suggesting a 140" screen if the screen height can be as large as 60-65". I should be able to go for a 150-160" 2.35:1 screen at that height.
I asked him about the height, he simply said that it could "possibly" go wider...
Speaker recommendations:
I asked him why def tech? Surprisingly, he told me my Denon x6800h was the limiting factor. In other words, if I want to upgrade to better speakers, I need to start using the Denon as more of a preamp and purchase separate amps to power the upgraded speakers. The only concession he made here is that the Denon could directly power the Dolby ceiling speakers. I started to feel like I was getting upsold on equipment I may not need...
^ This is the most important thing that I need to fact-check. I'd also appreciate recommendations on better speakers without separately amping everything.
Appreciate any advice I can get on all these topics. I know it's a lot of information to consume. Happy to answer any clarifying questions.

From there, I decided to build a home theater around these two fine pieces of equipment. I know little about home theater audio and video, so I hired a home theater pro to provide recommendations and install/calibrate the entire home theater.
ROOM & SETUP DETAILS:
- Preacquired equipment:
- Denon x6800h
- madVR Envy Extreme MK2
- Valencia Venice seats; my wife's contribution
- Light-controlled room with dimmable wall sconces and Zooz smart dimmer switch
- Alexa is our smart home interface of choice
- We can pivot away from this for a compelling enough reason
- Two rows of seating; 7 seats in total
- 3-seat front row, leaving two feet of walkway on the left and right side
- Two 2-seat loveseats with dedicated 7" risers as the back row
- One loveseat against the left wall, one against the right wall, leaving two feet of walkway in the center
- Seats have a 21.5" sitting height
- Distance from projector screen wall to front row: 116.75"
- Distance from projector screen wall to back row: 199.5"
REQUIREMENTS GIVEN TO THE PRO:
- Budget, after pre-acquired equipment: $25K-$35K
- As little operating overhead as possible
- Simplicity is critical for me. I don't want to be adjusting aspect ratio settings, masking the screen, or doing manual things before I can enjoy the home theater
- Things like HTPCs do not interest me at all; I don't have the time
- FWIW, this requirement is more important to me than even the video quality; that's why the madVR seemed like such a worthwhile purchase
- 7.2.4 audio setup
- As wide a screen as possible, ensuring unobstructed view of back row seats
- We watch a mixture of shows, streaming content, and movies pretty equally
- An exceptionally bright projector to make up for loss of brightness from madVR
- Best speakers possible within budget
- Universal remote with Alexa connectivity
HOME THEATER PRO'S RECOMMENDATIONS:
My home theater pro returned with a list of questionable recommendations, which is where you awesome people come in!Universal Remote, two options:
- Creston Electronics hub + TSR-310 remote: $2.4K
- Josh.ai Cinema remote + processor: $1.9K

Most importantly, I want to avoid introducing a third smart home interface that doesn't talk to the other two.
Projector recommendation, two options:
- Barco R9009691 projector: $35K
- He suggested this as an alternative to pairing a madVR with another projector
- Sony VPLXW6000ES projector: $12K
I don't see the justification for the Barco at all. Not only is it my entire budget, but more importantly, my concern was offsetting any brightness loss from the madVR. Is the Sony the best projector in this price range to ensure I can compensate for the madVR's brightness reduction?

Projector screen recommendation:
- Screen Innovations FS140SL12AT - 140" Slate 1.2 gain Acoustically Transparent Screen-2.35:1: $6.4K
- According to the pro, screen height must be a max of 60-65" to ensure viewability from the back row
I'm also wondering why he's suggesting a 140" screen if the screen height can be as large as 60-65". I should be able to go for a 150-160" 2.35:1 screen at that height.

2024.06.09 00:32 Agile-Hat-9467 does anyone know if adaptors that need power, damage the devices they're connected to?
Hi guys. On the packs it doesnt say nor anywhere else on the internet that ive searched.. Ive used two of them and each time something has broken. Now I know some things about electronics since I took some courses so I thought I understood but now I'm not sure. Ive written what happened in more detail below. can anyone tell me if its just my luck or if it really is just the adaptors? I dont want to break anymore hardware. thanks for anything
in the first time, I used it to show a phone screen on a tv and after about half an hour I think, the tv went black. If its important, I was charging the phone through the adaptor. its this one and this one
the second time I used a different one to show my gaming console (play station 2) and again, after about half an hour the screen went black. I was powering the adaptor here also but using a fast phone charger.

2024.06.08 22:22 Infinite-Barracuda97 MAXSHOT V1 Electric Scooter Review: A Surprisingly Solid Budget Ride
 | https://preview.redd.it/z1gbvfiqpe5d1.jpg?width=1792&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c8b243aca3b14110210cf9a6b42e98f49c9ca4cc submitted by Infinite-Barracuda97 to carverscave [link] [comments] Ever wished you could zip through traffic like a cyberpunk ninja, silently flipping off gridlocked drivers? Well, this might be just what you need. The MAXSHOT V1 Electric Scooter is the latest in a wave of "last-mile" solutions flooding our dystopian cities. MAXSHOT promises the usual – eco-friendliness, convenience, a dash of rebellion – but does it deliver where it counts? Buckle up, because this ain't your kid's Razor scooter. Update:BEST PRICE on the MAXSHOT V1 Electric Scooter here:https://amzn.to/3Rhl0Tq First Impression: A Wolf in Cheap ClothingUnboxing the MAXSHOT V1 felt like a blind date with a Craigslist find. The packaging screamed "budget," but the scooter itself had a surprising heft, a reassuring solidity that hinted at hidden depths. A quick glance revealed a no-frills design – black matte finish, minimalist LED display, functional rather than flashy.I was skeptical, ready to dismiss it as another cheap thrill. But then I took it for a spin, and the damn thing surprised me. The 350W motor, despite sounding like a pissed-off bee, packed a decent punch. Acceleration was smooth, not neck-snapping, but enough to weave through pedestrian traffic with ease. The 8.5" solid tires, while not exactly cloud-like, handled city potholes and cracks with surprising aplomb. Key FeaturesSurprisingly Zippy Motor: The 350W motor isn't going to win any drag races, but it's more than enough for city commuting. It'll get you up to a respectable 19 mph, which is plenty fast enough to trigger middle fingers from envious drivers.Decent Range: MAXSHOT claims a 21-mile range, which is... optimistic. In real-world conditions, expect something closer to 15-18 miles, depending on your weight, terrain, and riding style. Still, that's enough for most errands and commutes without needing to recharge every five minutes. Dual Braking System: Safety first, kids. The MAXSHOT V1 features both a drum brake and an electronic anti-lock braking system (EABS). In layman's terms, that means you can stop on a dime without doing an involuntary endo. App Control: This is where things get interesting. The MAXSHOT V1 connects to your phone via Bluetooth, allowing you to lock/unlock the scooter, customize the max speed, and even engage cruise control. It's a neat feature that adds a touch of futuristic flair to an otherwise utilitarian ride. Maintenance-Free Tires: The 8.5" solid tires are puncture-proof, meaning you can say goodbye to flats and inner tube hassles. However, they do sacrifice some ride comfort on rough surfaces, so keep that in mind if your city streets resemble a war zone. ProsAffordable: This is the MAXSHOT V1's biggest selling point. It's one of the most budget-friendly electric scooters on the market, making it a tempting entry point for those curious about the e-scooter lifestyle.Surprisingly Powerful: The 350W motor delivers a decent kick, making city commutes and short trips a breeze. Safe and Reliable: The dual braking system and sturdy construction inspire confidence, even when dodging potholes and aggressive pedestrians. App Control: The Bluetooth connectivity adds a layer of convenience and customization that's often missing in budget scooters. ConsBasic Suspension: The lack of suspension can make for a bumpy ride on rough roads. If your city streets are riddled with craters, you might want to invest in a scooter with better shock absorption.Limited Range: While the claimed 21-mile range is impressive, real-world usage is likely to be closer to 15-18 miles. Noisy Motor: The motor isn't exactly whisper-quiet. Expect some high-pitched whining, especially when accelerating. ComparisonsThe MAXSHOT V1 competes with a slew of budget e-scooters, but two stand out:Xiaomi Mi Electric Scooter Essential: This sleek competitor boasts a similar range and top speed but lacks the MAXSHOT V1's app control and dual braking system. Gotrax GXL V2: A popular choice for beginners, the GXL V2 offers a smoother ride thanks to its air-filled tires but falls short in terms of power and range.
