  • I always figured there are people similar to me on the other side of the dating aisle but I never expected to read a post that could mostly have feasibly been written by me, just with the gender swapped. I don’t do the AI S/O stuff, but its only really because I set up a “not allowed” barrier in my brain for it. I feel the same way you do about feeling guilt from potentially stealing someone from the dating pool or stealing a better future from the hypothetical person I’d then be with.

    It’s always easier to comment on others situations than to act on my own, so I’ll go ahead and with you luck with your journey. It may not always feel like it, but you have so much time still in the world to experience and learn so many cool things and, if you wish it, share them with someone else special to you. I’m glad you’ve started talking to a professional, and while I probably won’t recognize your username moving forward or anything (bad memory), in this moment I’m really rooting for ya.

    I bought a used, old HP laptop with a fairly capable AMD apu for some power and cost efficient gaming. Problem is that even though modern games can theoretically run on it at playable frame rates at very low settings, HP does not allow you to change how much RAM is dedicated to the GPU in BIOS. They have a setting, but its locked behind a BIOS only they have access to. Its quite frustrating that I have capable hardware but cannot use it to its full extent because of this software lockout. Knowing that they lock their consumer BIOS’ down like this is absolutely keeping me from buying HP basically ever again, because I really want to make the most of my hardware and keep it all alive as long as possible to reduce waste, and they won’t let me.
