I'm intrigued. I don't have the best credit though cuz I stopped paying my student loans at one point last year to see what would happen. It's finally recovered, but it's not back to great like it used to be.

Whats a good starter card that will give cash back rewards? Or airplane rewards?

You need to take it easy. The stress of that assault, as well as the grief over your pet and the stress that comes with it, has probably put your body into a metric fuckton of strain. You might benefit from some therapy or a massage.

Yeah, fortunately I was contacted by an organization that helps crime victims. They hooked me up with a therapist there, and I've had two sessions so far.

I'm not really sure where to look for massages though. Like, I know there's plenty of spas and shit around here, but I imagine I need like a medical-grade place that takes insurance, not an expensive one attached to a gym or something.

What happened? Mugging?

My wife and I were crossing the street in a parking lot, when some guy looked like he was trying to hit us. So we stepped back to get out of the way and I threw my hands out and yelled "what the fuck is wrong with you? We're pedestrians." And the guy got out of the car, stomped over, and then without any escalation grabbed me by the neck and started choking me, and actually lifted me in the air by my neck. Luckily there were some bystanders who came to help, and when he saw them running over, he slammed me down into the concrete on my back.

I didn't see a doctor about the headaches yet since it's only just been the last week or so.

It was my favorite, cherished family dog that I've ever had in my entire life, and I'm destroyed over it. Like, he was only 10, had no signs of being sick, but then randomly during a vet visit for constipation, they discovered he had multiple organ failure, was dying, and we had to put him to sleep, out of fucking nowhere.
(I was already under a fuck ton of stress before this, dealing with police and lawyers and therapists from being involved in an assault last month when some stranger attacked me in public.)

Everyday this week I've had headaches on and off, with sensitivity to light, similar to migraines. Anyone ever experience stuff like this before? I know stress can cause migraines and headaches, but I dunno when to get worried about it or go to a doctor.

Specifically, people who are into feet, but only clean feet. What's the allure?

Like, as a fellow person of culture, I get it if they're like dirty or stinky, because it's taboo and naughty, etc...

But when they're clean and pristine? What exactly draws you to them? Feet are pretty weird looking, aesthetically, so what's the attraction there? Is it just a primal, innate thing that you can't explain? Or is it that you like it to be a little taboo, but not TOO weird?

Even if people shower the day of, some can't help it.

See, the sweat you produce when under stress (i.e. competing in a tourney) is thicker and had different compounds than normal cooling sweat, which makes it produce stronger body odor.

In addition to that, a lot of people that compete in these things are eating on the go, in other words, stuff like fast food. Your diet and what you eat can affect your body odor and make it stronger as you sweat it out.

So take all that and add it on top of cramming a large number of people into a space with lots of electronics, which makes it pretty warm, and, well, yeah. It's gonna be pretty smelly lol.

Probably the only way to eliminate it would be to give all entrants a prescription strength antiperspirant the day before, since showering beforehand won't accommodate for the stress/diet elements of the stank.

If you're not building a gaming rig then I'd almost suggest just buying a prebuilt that's on sale at Best Buy or Amazon. You'll probably come out cheaper and it's less work. I'm not even sure if you should bother with 16gb of RAM. There's still people here running actual gaming rigs with only 8.

You can get a pre built machine with expandable memory.


Oh yeah? So I could just buy one, get the memory I want, and just slap it in there before I even turn it on?

How do I know if it's expandable? Will it just say on the specifications of product pages?

Also I may be using Adobe Premiere for video editing in the near future as well. Is video encoding based more on GPU or RAM?
