Is my girlfriend gaslighting me? (Edit: No, she is not gaslighting me, but may have some other issues.)
  • Jumping in, I also have a lot of BPD experience (example, a marriage of well over 10 years).

    This is very BPD-adjacent. I'm not saying OP's gf has it per se, because there is no way we can know from here, but this is definitely on brand.

    If you read between the lines, the social conversation could written as this:

    "Heading home, I need support"

    "I'll support"

    <Doesn't support>

    <She feels abandoned, fight or flight kicks in and it turns her attachment-avoidant, results in silent treatment>

    <OP gives space, which is interpreted as further abandonment>

    <OPGF can't take it anymore, and asks questions that feel like they're out of left field because in fight-or-flight kicks in, clear thought is nearly impossible>

    <OP finally gives reassurance that he didn't abandon her>

    <Normalcy continues>

    RyanLiu@lemmy.world read through this comment chain, therapy is the answer here.

  • Sinclair floods local news websites with hundreds of deceptive articles about Biden's mental fitness
  • Sinclair is a piece of shit org.

    That said, is there really any doubt that Biden is not very sharp? Countless videos of him trailing off in the middle of a sentence or whatever. Trump too, both are messes mentally and should retire imo.

  • I am myself and myself is bad at fitting in
  • I don't think that's totally accurate. I think it's more that they don't know how a mask works, and they think that you're deliberately being fake to fit in.

    If masking wasn't a thing, it would probably be decent advice. Problem is 99% of us have no idea we're masking until way later, if ever.

  • "Gluten Free" has officially gone too far.
  • Similar to what other have said, I'm allergic to gluten. I helped my nephew with a middle school project where he had to build a tower from dry spaghetti sticks and marshmallows, and about five minutes in my fingertips were extremely itchy.

    I also know my version of this is very mild compared to some.

  • Trying Linux after using Windows for decades
  • Proton is incredible. Linux has come so far in the last couple years for gaming. I'm running Intel/Nvidia (which used to be a big no-no), playing 99% of what I want to play with no issues. If I ever see issues it's usually a game that uses anti-cheat. Even the vast majority of my games work fine now. Controller support is simple too.

    I'm guessing another year an I won't have Windows in my setup at all.

  • Sounds like a dealbreaker
  • I share the opinion that pizza is bread with sauce and cheese.

    However, I am open to change my mind because there is always room for more pizza in my life. What's everyone's favorite non-cheese pizzas?

  • What is the best model of used ThinkPad to purchase?
  • Could be. I do have some significant Thinkpad experience (going back to the IBM days) and I do know that they will not alter the model number regardless of what's in the machine, but you can pull a build sheet from their website with the serial number. Do you know if your HPs could have had this happen? Was your distributor HP or elsewhere? (Not hating, just curious!)

    Capacity loss over time is a decent idea. The 2nd Gen machine has an 11th Gen chip, vs 10th Gen in the Gen 1, and quiet possibly is able to burn more power quicker as well. Thinkpad power consumption is also definable in the BIOS or Vantage software for many of them, so those settings all could vary.

    Normally I'd be happy to help troubleshoot this sort of thing but frankly I'm not sure OP was looking to chat.
