Need for Speed 2.

Tried running a decent Qwen on a 3060 TI but I only have 16g ram so it kept getting stuck and not completing tasks.

Piefed through Connect on mobile. Voyager was throwing out of date errors since my phone is on a very old version of android.

I couldn’t either because I had undiagnosed ADHD.

Once I got the meds I was able to tolerate it. Try drinking coffee when you study to see if it helps.

Other than that I really limited my study time. I stopped for the day after two hours no matter what and kept it to one subject per day, and rewarded myself with something I wanted to do after.

I joined reddit in 2011 or 2012. Was quickly made a mod of a support subreddit for a medical condition I had. I filled up the sidebar with resources and posted every day trying to help people. Even sent money to people who couldn’t afford physical therapy.

I built up a mod team of wonderful people. We traveled to meet each other IRL a few times and even went to Washington D.C. together to advocate for more research funding for our condition.

We took over abandoned related subreddits and even created new ones where we saw a need.

All this to say I really put effort into bettering Reddit, building communities, and making it a cozy place with helpful resources.

The API shit happened. I never lost RiF because I just used the cracked versions of it, but what got me was how the Admins were threatening their mods. Up until this point the subreddit you built was yours. Entirely yours. You could do whatever you wanted on it because you’re the one who built it. Mods could run rampant and ban everyone and the admins wouldn’t do anything. It sucked when it happened to you, but that was the tradeoff of Reddit. At least your subreddit was yours. The admins that day showed that wasn’t true.

If the subreddit wasn’t yours then what was the point of doing all that effort? You were just an unpaid employee now.

I stepped back a bit but didn’t leave. My subreddit still needed me. I still had Rif working. But I stopped curating the sidebar and wiki.

Then Reddit allowed people to start hiding their post history and made decisions that caused my mod toolbox to stop working without replacing those tools natively on anything except their shitty app.

Without my tools I can’t moderate efficiently so I stopped. Without seeing post history I refused to rely to people. Bots destroyed a subreddit I enjoyed despite like 50 reports from me alone. So I stopped going on Reddit. Only one mod remains active of our subreddit and she’s on the verge of quitting too.

I’m focused on here, bluesky, and discord now. I still have to use Reddit for a niche gaming community but I just lurk now, and only go maybe once a week versus how I used to post 20 times a day.

As long as instance owners moderate, the trashy people will be forced too flock to instances that allow that type of behavior and then we can block those instances individually.

I left Reddit because of how the moderators got pissed on, not the community. I just never went to /r/popular and enjoyed my life. My mod tools were removed from me and I can’t be assed to get their shitty app. I’d rather put my time somewhere that I’m not being used for free labor while also being sold as a product.

We know all IT departments are primarily composed of furries, so it’s just a branch of number 1 really.

TIL. I always wondered what they were about.

Even more surprising is that Houston has any sort of culture.

Our airfryer took about a week of daily use.

Cats can’t digest mice. That’s why they vomit it up.

It has already happened to you in the period before you were born. It is the same experience.

Maybe he thought it was a weed and that he was helping?

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

You very obviously used Gen AI to write this. People are here to interact with people, not bots. Otherwise we’d be on Reddit.

I don’t know if its internationally recognized, but Port Arthur. It’s the most depressing town I have ever passed through. The skyline is nothing but refineries and every house is rotting. I drive between Baton Rouge and New Orleans regularly and that’s my normal. Port Arthur is a whole other level of poverty and pollution.

Texas. It has every shit policy and politician that Louisiana does, but without expanded medicaid and with toll roads every five feet while every car on the road is trying to kill you.

Louisiana sucks, but at least it’s chill.

I have intense driving anxiety and only drive around my area willingly, so self-driving cars (or just more trains) would help me a lot.

I want the realistic dragon sim mmo that was promised.

Treat trading like you would a casino. You can put a little bit in as a treat, but that is part of your entertainment money, not your investment money.

Index funds (or mutual funds) like everyone else said. If you are in the US you can buy some U.S. Series I savings bonds as your semi-emergency savings (after 1 year you can take it out freely outside of a 3 month interest penalty, takes a week to cash out so it’s fine for most emergency things). Do not just leave it in a savings account.

That’s cool but I would feel way too vulnerable in that thing. I need a door within sight so I can be prepared in case a zombie appears or something.

I like the Japanese style ones where the entire bathroom is the shower. The floor is meant to be wet with the benefit of just being able to spray the entire bathroom down when it needs cleaning.

This one just makes no sense.
