Ok, moved it to my main desktop to mess around with it some more and get used to the layout and it's growing on me. The backlit thing at night in a dark room is kinda neat. The way all the keys just light up when you brush against them. Also some useful shortcut buttons and being able to be bluetooth sync'd to three devices at once and switch using buttons is helpful for moving between my two stations without having to re-sync the bluetooth.

Aw yeah, clicky switches. :ohyeah

The one thing you can only get from mechanical switches is linear actuation and the glorious racket of clickies. Linears are like Sanwa buttons for arcade sticks, only most don't have such a low actuation force that you accidentally press them by brushing against the keys. Though most people prefer some kind of tactile feedback, clicky or not.

The rest is all about the sound (and collecting what's fashionable atm :shh). The thing most MK enthusiasts are after these days (besides funky layouts) is a deep 'thock', which they achieve with milled aluminium cases, brass inserts, foam dampening, lubing, and PBT keycaps. People pay upwards of 300$ for a custom and then keep doing it, because they're crazy.
I don't understand that side of the hobby, because most switches are clones or derivatives of Cherry MX switches, so there's not actually all that much actual variety. And yet people rave about material compositions and spring weights and whatnot.

Yeah, definitely see similarities to the custom arcade stick scene.

After using this mechanical clicky keyboard for a few days, weirdly enough I'd actually describe it as "mushy" and while I like the feel and am typing pretty fast, I make a few constant typos because my fingers too easily slip over a key while moving to the next key and it registers a press too easily.

I kinda wish the keys are actually tougher to press down so less chance of inadvertent presses. Wonder if that's one of the mechanical keyboard types you can get.

You might adjust to it with a bit more time. Otherwise you could try browns. Most people seem to prefer tactile switches for typing. It's what everyone's used to after all, since rubber domes are all tactile (even if the bump in the force graph is too low and wide for the connoisseurs).

If that's not enough, you're looking at a completely different keyboard and a possible odyssey. :doge

In fairness, it's probably not the browser- I had similar problems when I used Brave browser on an iPad Mini.

...I sold that jelly-scrolling piece of crap off and got another Chrome OS tablet instead.  No more problems.

I looked up how to fix this and the board people just need to change some counter intuitive embed options.  I'll send you the link over discord.

Today was day 1 with new kittens Dream (boy) and Ren (girl).



Most exhausting day in decades. But eventually things went well and they're doing great now. Already have pretty strong personalities. They're brother/sister litter siblings and Ren is the adventerous one. She hasn't whined once and is super chill and takes her time going to eat or playing with toys. She's already at the top of the cat tree looking down. She marked both litterboxes right away as hers and even though there's two litterboxes neither of them uses one of them.

Dream is a scaredy cat and bolts everywhere when he wants to go somewhere. He's doing good but he whines that he's temporarily restricted to the living room for week 1 to adjust and keeps wanting to explore the rest of the house. Ren doesn't seem to care at all about that and is happy looking at the window, eating good food and taking naps.

They both were super afraid of me at first, but by the end of the night they don't mind me, though I wouldn't say they wanna hang out yet. Will take some time making friends with them.

And they play fight a lot and then nap together.

So here's a weird story. I have a co-worker, she's in her early 50's and recently remarried.

The other day she got physical mail at the office. It was a piece of paper with tweets from her stepdaughter printed on it.
Someone had typed in the Dutch word for 'cunt' and her stepdaughters Twitter handle and it showed these tweets from like 2012 - 2013.
Kut or cunt is basically Dutch slang for vagina, bitch, shit or fuck. So she had tweeted things like: "This(dit) homework(huiswerk) is(is) shit(kut)" or "The(de) bitch(kut) probably(heeft) took(het) it(vast) up(anaal) the ass(gedaan)".
They were tweets with profanities for sure, but not 'that' shocking by any means. There's wasn't anything racist, anti-semitic or anything like that in the tweets.

Now there's a few very odd details. While stepmom still tweets the stepdaughter hasn't tweeted since 2014.
It wasn't even her stepdaughter back then. Her new relationship started about a year before COVID.

Why would anyone send a piece of paper with tweets printed from 2012 to her workplace. No blackmail note or anything either.

2 weeks ago I was watching a hawt chick on Twitch playing chess and thought I should learn how to play it. So I bought a cheap video game, signed up to a website to play against computer and watched a bunch of YT tutorials. Then I discovered chess people on Reddit and since then I've been pretending to be a chess expert. It's going well, I'm hoping to become a grandmaster ( yes there are people who actually call themselves that) by next week.

This week I have decided to pretend to be a life coach on Reddit. I developed a system that will make anyone a success -

1. Stand up straight. Only degenerates and sex fiends slouch.

2. Tie your shoe laces damn it. Untied shoe laces are a sign of weakness.

3. Tuck your shirt in. Not tucking your shirt in is a sure path to failure and sexual inadequacy.

4. Look at people when they’re talking to you. Only sex fiends and degenerates avoid eye contact.

5. Never trust children. Children are inherently weak. Avoid them.

6. All women are dirty. Go ahead and spank her. She likes it.

7. Wear a tie at all times. Only scum don’t wear ties during the week.

8. Get your elbows off the table. Homosexuals and degenerates put their elbows on tables. Your not one of them are you?

9. Get a real dog. That pussy warmer your traipsing around the park with makes you look like a degenerate.

10. Be rich. Poverty is disgusting.

Other than these two small errors, you're good to go. Although, I would add an 11th tip:

11. Don't use Reddit. Reddit is for degenerates and posers. Use theboredotcum if you want to be a sexually successful alpha male with a large hog.

I am basically the top of the chain as one of the owners. I'm doing the 2nd one because these people are often accused of only hiring friends and family. I would be a hypocrite if I turned him down. Not to mention I help companies that sell things I don't like too.

The first one we've decided to just take step by step. No use in jumping to conclusions unless they specifically ask us to do things we don't feel comfortable about. And whatever it is would've been vetted by their legal department anyway. Not to mention it gives us leverage :trumps

Getting old and tired enough that I’m fantasizing about owning a house. Really, for the space to build a home gym. Tolerance for public gyms plummeted. Go once every couple days for heavier weights. Only have a pair of 70lb adjustable dumbbells at home. Fitness center in building has some machines to supplement. No idea how I did this regularly prior to March 2020.

Throwaway and mobile account.

I (25F) am getting married to my wonderful fiancé (31m) this fall.

A week ago I had a bachelorette party. While most girls dream of their weddings, I dreamt about my bachelorette weekend. I put a lot of planning into this weekend, made a lot of phone calls, reservations, everything basically.

For Thursday night - Sunday morning me and 25 of my closest girlfriends rented a house. From the start it was a disaster. I had told my girls to get to the house early on Thursday so they could decorate and set up before I got there. Well I got to the house at 3 and they weren’t done decorating so that bummed me out because I wanted that “WOW!” moment when I came in and saw the set up. I felt robbed but we still had a decent first night.

FrIday I woke everyone up at 7am to make breakfast and get ready because we had a packed day - vineyards, boat, lunch, happy hour drinks, then dinner and the clubs. I was getting shaded on all afternoon because people said they were being rushed from place to place and had to carry changes of clothes all day but we only had limited time in this city and I wanted to make the most of it.

Saturday was worse. We had brunch at 9am and no one was awake in time so it only ended up being me and a few loyal bridesmaids. We went shopping after for a few hours and when we got back to the house no one was even apologetic even though I was close to tears all day. The last straw for me was later that night when we were going to dinner and nobody was wearing the matching shirts we got for the weekend. People wanted to wear their own stuff but that’s not what we agreed on even though my MOH notified everyone. At that point I said fuck it this weekend was ruined and locked myself in my room to cry. It was even worse when I came out a few hours later and half the girls had gone out anyway (without me, AKA the actual bride).

I ended up driving home early on Sunday and left the house a mess for the girls to pick up because I was so upset. Now it’s been almost a week, no one has really texted me except some bridesmaids and MOH.

I know I sound bridezilla-ish. But these are supposed to be my friends and we were supposed to celebrate me all weekend and I felt neglected and I’m just really upset. I understand these expectations may seem like a lot but i made my expectations clear to the group and they just let me down so bad. Tell me AITA?

Here’s an edit because people are asking me the same questions: 1) yes I have 25 people who I genuinely wanted to celebrate with. 6 of them are in my wedding party and the other 19 were college friends, childhood friends, work friends, etc.

2) MOH sent out the itinerary months ago. It was very clear the activities I planned and their prices per person. If someone had wanted to skip out, it wouldn’t be a problem but all the girls paid accordingly. So they knew what they were getting themselves into.

Edit #2: Well I’m very clearly TA. I’ve decided to apologize for wanting one weekend to be about me. I need to rethink my friend group and make some changes to the wedding invite list. Thanks!

I (25F) am getting married to my wonderful fiancé (31m) this fall.

A week ago I had a bachelorette party. While most girls dream of their weddings, I dreamt about my bachelorette weekend. I put a lot of planning into this weekend, made a lot of phone calls, reservations, everything basically.

For Thursday night - Sunday morning me and 25 of my closest girlfriends rented a house. From the start it was a disaster. I had told my girls to get to the house early on Thursday so they could decorate and set up before I got there. Well I got to the house at 3 and they weren’t done decorating so that bummed me out because I wanted that “WOW!” moment when I came in and saw the set up. I felt robbed but we still had a decent first night.

FrIday I woke everyone up at 7am to make breakfast and get ready because we had a packed day - vineyards, boat, lunch, happy hour drinks, then dinner and the clubs.

Holy shit.

"Yes, I am the arsehole."
"To fix the problem, I'm going to uninvite those fucking bitches who didn't make everything about me."
"Why are you still calling me the arsehole?"
