I think it's extremely telling that most romance media with lesbians are written by men whereas romance media that's written and targeted at women is HARDCORE hetero.

I just walked to my local Safeway shopped and bagged and checked out while streaming from my iPhone hotspot Apollo on my Odin 2 Portal in my satchel (shoutout to CRKD Switch carrying case satchel). The Odin 2 Portal's Apollo is streaming 5G from my phone hotspot back to my gaming pc (9800x3D, RTX 5090, 96GB DDR5 6600 MHz RAM) where I have Delta loaded, and I plug in my Viture XR glasses into my Odin 2 Portal in my satchel and I basically played this game while shopping at Safeway. The future is here. I have no performance issues but then again my setup is beast.

This is the guy who is going through a divorce and can’t afford his mortgage anymore, right? Puts a bit of a damper on laughing at a grown man playing video games in VR instead of taking five minutes to shop for groceries. I'm still going to laugh but I don't feel wonderful about it.

Yeah, Trump's really ruining things for him:

Well, for people to digest…

My last paycheck came and went, I no longer have money to eat or pay bills. I graduated just barely by the fingernails in time, I literally could not afford to go to school any longer. But with this newly minted PhD in a "highly demanded" field, and 10 years of experience including 4 at a Fortune 50, and with my dissertation going viral across 200+ news outlets....the irony is painful and palpable. Everybody jokes "wow you must have a lot of job offers." I have none. I've interviewed at a couple of places, nothing turned out.....except I finally got a verbal offer from a professor for a dream position. It seemed like the answer to my prayers...then I googled them and found a scathing investigative news article where 30 previous employees filed a complaint through the union that this professor was a toxic, abusive, racist homophobe. So now I'm like great, because life couldn't get more insulting, the only job offer I have is through a complete psycho that is fighting lawsuits against her. So I keep applying, but the less I hear, the more discouraged and tempted I feel to wallow and sink into a spiral of depression, because I have all the comorbid mental diagnoses you can get (ADHD, C-PTSD, OCD, GAD, MDD, thanks genetics and trauma) and it's hard to keep them at bay. But doing that will only worsen the situation and take time from me applying to jobs. But now my health insurance runs out in 2 weeks. I have no backup plans. I simply didn't find a job in the timeframe I hoped I would, because I was so busy in court and in school, and now I don't know what to do. I have a big mortgage for this house I just fought 1 year in court to keep, and I ironically may have to move out and be homeless, with a PhD, if I don't find a W2 within like a month. I'm scared, discouraged, and the suicidal ideation is beckoning again. What a life. It's been a year since my truamatic divorce with a complete abusive narcissist who nearly made me lose my home, then I got to keep it, now I might lose it again. My family sold their house to move here to help me survive with the bills, but seattle is just not making it possible, so all 3 of us might be homeless soon. My life has been nothing but turmoil ever since I fled Colombia in a helicopter when I was an infant. I'm so discouraged from even going on anymore. This forum is all I have these days. I'm too depressed to be with friends, I'm too triggered living with my parents at 33 and all 3 of us getting at risk of homelessness, and I'm too poor to do anything fun or of meaning. Creditors calling me from 8AM every single day. Bills I have no hope of paying. My accounts are overdrafted and empty. Every job I apply to feels like "why bother submitting all these materials and cover letters...they're just going to find someone else with a PhD with better experience than me" in this city full of techbros and nerds. My ex really screwed my life up and probably permanently tanked my sense of self-esteem and my mental health. I just had to vent and didn't know how else to do so...thanks for listening. :(

At the pharmacy stocking up on scripts.
Doing a Teladoc appointment for my sore throat before 5pm.
Basically disaster-scenario planning over here.

Gotta make sure he has his 7-drug cocktail

Man's not even on Medicaid:

This is why I fucking hide in VR…I can't take this fucking real world for too long. It's oppressive and just as my life was turning around with a new job, I don't know if I get to go to work at the job I just accepted anymore after this month. What is going on…student debt, delinquent bills, and I just finished being on Medicaid myself…what is going on in this world 😢

The problem is that I'm moving soon and due to logistics and the nature of my job and hobbies, I can't just use integrated graphics for too long, and my card sold very quickly for $2400 but I couldn't get anything within the next week that wasn't a scam for under $2000 for the 5080 or otherwise that intersected all this scenario and wasn't a complete downgrade. And I missed 5090 completely and can only afford the baseline 5090 which is not gonna be in stock anytime soon.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/nvidia-announces-the-rtx-50-series-availability-starts-in-january-5090-1999-5080-999-99-5070-ti-749-5070-549-up-5090-reviews-out.1075542/page-135#post-135181626

Hmmm that's what I explained though--I don't have time to go a month without a GPU so I was willing to settle for what I could get, as my 4090 already rapidly sold for way more than I expected. But I can't do the trade now because it would cause me to be at the mercy of this marketplace without a GPU. 5090s are not gonna be readily in stock any time soon so I'll just avoid this gen of GPUs and wait for the 60-series, maybe. 2 weeks without my GPU is probably too long and then I move and I'll risk shit getting lost in all that commotion.

Having trouble avoiding her ideation tbh many times. Yes I have good psychiatry and psychology care, but being a queer neurodivergent minority in this country is just being bludgeoned by a society that hates you at every turn. And then with what happened the last few weeks and me being a scientist, I just kind of feel trapped in a country that wants me dead or bankrupt or homeless or all of the above in whichever order. I have a critical psych med I've been fighting my new insurance company to cover for over a week now and I'm lucky to be able to say that. Hell is here on earth :(

RIP to this sweet little girl.

Doing the same thing to the economy he did to his businesses again I see.

Great. Always wanted to possibly lose our house.

Hey high five, cost of living has gotten so bad I'm probably losing mine this year too!

We're making America great again, remember

[Uncle]

it's just that this specific shared cultural thing has slowly become more and more absent, and it's not nothing

I dunno about that last part. 

Not being anti religious but I also think “losing shared cultural thing” can be used in stuff I definitely don’t agree with. 

If anything, it sounds more like people really want to not move from dogmatic thinking and just replaced it with a different ideology.

the fact that everyone can be assumed on some level to have that shared cultural touchstone is more important than the specifics

you can imagine a fully atheist country where it is customary to say "I'm sorry, your son is dead and gone forever, all we can do is cherish the memories" and because everyone shares in that belief they all find it comforting

and the edgy teens of that country say "heh, these morons, they don't even know that he's in heaven and they'll get to see him again lol"

I mean, the reason why he is getting a divorce seems partially because his uncontrollable expending.

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

his asshole ex, who also helped him finish his PHD by holding out their divorce until after, is to blame. Not Dr Poops addiction issues and spending problems.

“If the videos were legitimate or played up for shock value”

This mf just killed two kids you fucking retard

I get this, it's the same as what I had said earlier

do the videos show someone's legitimate thoughts and psychosis, or do they show someone roleplaying as the joker for the memes because they think it will contribute to their myth or whatever

in other words are they still wearing a mask

(the fact that they WOULD act performatively creepy and write zoomer memes all over everything is still evidence of mental unwellness, just not what they're pretending to be on camera)

[PogiJones]

Why are you all letting boredfrom get away with that "Not really" about the girls supposedly not thirsting after the guys when they devote an entire scene and like 3 other shots to them getting popcorn eyes because they're so turned on by the boys? It's like the most explicit girls thirsting after guys I've ever seen in a kids show, and you all just let him get away with that?

He could still believe it while being “ideologically incoherent” as ERA will put it.  

A lot of the most obnoxious TransPeople were 4channers or something awful goons.

Amazing job, Resetera! Permaban the guy for simply reporting that the shooter was trans, even after he threw in a "ugh, chud ammo" for some reassuring brownie points. And then DON'T UNBAN him! Honest mistake? Fuck him! He suggested the possibility of a transgender doing a bad thing!

I hope ResetEra knows deep within their wretched raggedy bones that the far right does the same exact shit that they're doing now. When a racist incel mass shooter does what he does, they usually sidestep anything and everything that could possibly make "their side" look bad. Start shifting the blame on the media, or the culture war, or something. Maybe express some tiny condolences for the victims killed, but ultimately spend 90% of the conversation getting big mad at trivial bullshit in the name of tribalism.

Also, why aren't the people there dunking on the trans shooter's manifesto video? That was probably the cringiest mass shooter video ever recorded in history (psycho's just chuckling at all the dumb discord memes he scribbled on his guns like some goofy highschooler trying not to wake mom) ....and yet judgemental-as-fuck Resetera has absolutely nothing to say about it?

I see nothing male gazey about Moxxi, her sexualization is actually kinda funny and fairly tasteful and a good fit for the character. She's proof positive that you can sexualize a female character without it being cringy lol

This is so weird coming from Morrigan, queen prude of them all. I guess she really liked the character so much that it managed to briefly get her off her massive high horse for a few seconds.
